Ettore Di Giacinto e2c15e7f20 fix(vram): bound remote GGUF metadata lengths
Upgrade the GGUF parser to reject string and array lengths larger than the remaining remote file before allocating them. This prevents malformed or inconsistent range responses from terminating LocalAI during background gallery warming.

Ettore Di Giacinto a3ae443dde test: fix the three data races that made -race runs noisy
None was introduced by this branch and all three are in test code, which is
what made them survive: every suite passed on every run and only the race
detector said otherwise. A known-failing -race run is worse than a noisy one,
because a real race raised by production code lands in the same report and is
read as one of these.

galleryop: gatedModelManager guarded the recorded names and not the gate
channel itself. A spec frees the parked worker by closing the gate and
installing a fresh one, on the spec goroutine, while the worker goroutine reads
the field to park on it. The channel is now read and replaced under the same
mutex, and cleanup closes idempotently.

pkg/model: two specs swapped xlog's package logger to capture output and
swapped it back on cleanup. xlog.SetLogger writes an unsynchronised global, so
the restore raced with the backend process watcher, which logs while a process
is stopping; the captured bytes.Buffer was written by that goroutine and read
by an Eventually at the same time. SetLogger is now called once for the whole
test binary, from init, before a goroutine exists to race with, and a spec
swaps the DESTINATION under a mutex through a routing slog.Handler. Per-spec
level filtering is preserved deliberately: one of these specs asserts that a
debug emission is filtered OUT and would pass vacuously against a handler that
recorded everything.

openai: fakeTransport appended to its event and audio logs from the response
and turn coordinators' goroutines while a spec ranged over them. Both are
behind a mutex and are read through snapshot accessors; the fields are renamed
so a raw read from another spec file does not compile.

Ettore Di Giacinto 016686a3db chore(distributed): take the nats-io modules out of the build
Distributed mode has not dialled a message broker since the control plane
moved onto the workers' own outward tunnels and every fan-out family moved
onto PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY. What was left was the dependency itself, and
the code that existed only to feed it.

Dropped from go.mod: nats-io/jwt/v2, nats-io/nats.go, nats-io/nkeys,
nats-io/nuid and testcontainers-go/modules/nats, along with the fourteen
indirect requires that only the NATS testcontainer pulled in. go.sum carries
no nats line either, so the removal is not the partial kind where the require
goes and the checksum stays.

Deleted with them: pkg/natsauth in full, the broker client's remaining
options and TLS files, the per-node JWT minting on both the register and the
approve path, and the natsauth.Config parameter threaded through the node
routes. The credential manager is renamed and stripped rather than deleted,
because it still holds the tunnel token that every re-registration rotates.

The bus flags stay accepted and ignored, and are now hidden, on every command
that had them, so an existing unit file, compose file or Helm values file
still starts on the day of the upgrade. What is not kept is the validation
that REQUIRED one: a distributed frontend started with no bus URL is no
longer fatal. The TLS paths lose type:"existingfile" deliberately, so a
certificate deleted along with the broker cannot fail a startup.

One operator-visible behaviour change: --nats-require-auth no longer makes an
agent worker wait through admin approval. Ask for that wait with
--distributed-require-auth, which already implied it. It is documented in the
migration section and pinned from both sides.

A deployment now needs PostgreSQL and the frontends' own HTTP listener, and
nothing else.

coverage-baseline.txt moves from 54.2 to 62.0.

Ettore Di Giacinto f4b1b4ab6c chore(distributed): stop telling an operator to run a NATS cluster
Every carrier had already moved and no process opened a bus connection, but
the surface an operator reads still described a deployment with a broker in
it: a compose service, a 220-line credential-generation script, two CI steps
pulling a container nothing started, two flag tables offering --nats-url, an
architecture diagram with a NATS box wired to the workers, a join-command
generator in the Nodes page that emitted --nats-url for agent workers, and a
test suite that stood a NATS server up for specs that no longer used it.

That is the one way this programme could still fail invisibly. Every test
passes, every binary works, and every production deployment goes on running
and paying for infrastructure that carries nothing.

Nothing in this repository starts a NATS server any more. The compose file is
four services, the docs say to shut the broker down and what to keep, and the
e2e suite runs on one PostgreSQL container.

The three LOCALAI_NATS_*_TIMEOUT env vars are KEPT, and are now documented
twice as being kept. They were never broker settings: each names a control-RPC
budget the frontend applies to a worker, still read and still enforced. They
carry the prefix only because they arrived with the bus, and renaming them
would break every existing deployment for cosmetics.

The agent worker's join command was the last surface still emitting the flag,
two tasks after the agent worker stopped dialling. The Playwright spec that
covered it asserted the opposite of what is now true, so it is inverted rather
than deleted, and it reads the rendered command string rather than the
component's variables: the variables are what the fix removes, so a spec
reading them would have stopped compiling instead of failing, and a compile
error is not evidence about what an operator is shown.

nats_jwt_test.go and its helpers are deleted. They pinned a real server
ENFORCING the minted permissions. The CONTENT of those allow lists is still
pinned, untouched, by pkg/natsauth's own suites, including the spec that
refuses to let the agent lists go empty, since an empty allow list in NATS
means unrestricted. The enforcement half is retired rather than moved:
enforcement is a property of a connection, and nothing opens one.

The suite's own NATS container goes with them, which the brief left for the
next task. Removing the pre-pull while BeforeSuite still ran the image would
have defeated the step rather than cleaned it up, and this change removes the
last reader of TestInfra.NC. agent_native_executor_test.go and
mcp_ci_job_test.go are moved onto infra.Bus() instead of deleted: they were
the last two specs building a bridge and a dispatcher on a client nobody uses,
which is exactly the drift TestInfra.Bus's own comment warns about.

cluster.Options.NatsURL is now fed a deliberately dead address rather than a
live container's. Frontends and agent workers still receive LOCALAI_NATS_URL,
because that is the coverage for the promise that an existing command line
still starts; sourcing it from a running server would have let a regression
that actually dialled it pass. The control in cluster_control_test.go keeps
its assertion and loses its explanation, which claimed the deployment had a
bus and no longer could.

One latent spec race surfaced and is fixed: the background-run spec waited for
a COUNT of events and then read a snapshot for the terminal status, which is
the last event of a run and therefore always arrives after the count is met.
Its immediate twin had already been fixed this way. Nothing in production
changed.

pkg/natsauth keeps its files. It is reachable from production only through the
natsauth.Config parameter thread, and that thread is the next task's.

Ettore Di Giacinto 06f58d0d88 feat(distributed): dispatch queued work as a claim queue
The three NATS queue groups jobs.new, jobs.mcp-ci.new and agent.execute are
gone. Dispatching work is now a row in a work_claims table, taken by one
frontend replica with SELECT ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED and driven on an agent
worker as a streaming control RPC over that worker's tunnel. Exactly-one
delivery among competing consumers is a database problem, not a broker feature.
An agent worker has no database, so it never claims; it executes what the
claiming replica hands it.

A claim must not outlive the replica that took it. The reap releases a claim
whose owner is no longer a live replica in the instances table, on the database
clock, and never asks how long the claim has been held. A job that legitimately
runs for an hour on a heartbeating replica is left alone, while a claim whose
owner stopped heartbeating becomes claimable again within one liveness window.
A replica with no advertised address has no instances row at all, so it refuses
to claim rather than have its work reaped out from under it mid-run.

The settle rule is stated once, in settleClaim, and every exit path calls it. A
transport failure releases the claim and never completes or discards it; only a
decoded reply line completes it. That line is deliberately not
cluster.IsWorkerAnswer, which accepts the stream refusals a worker's tunnel
writes before any request body reaches its control server: completing on those
would discard work that never ran.

The terminal line is persisted before the claim is completed, so a store that
refuses leaves the claim standing rather than leaving the job running for ever.
That is the dropped-result defect fixed structurally rather than by retry.

This also surfaces a pre-existing gap rather than causing one: no worker has
ever served plain task jobs, and publishing them into an empty queue group left
them running with no trace. Such a claim is now failed with a reason.

Removes QueueWorkers, --agent-subject and --agent-queue, and narrows an agent
worker's minted JWT by agent.execute and jobs.mcp-ci.new.

Ettore Di Giacinto fffb4d9aec feat(distributed): stop a backend on one route, whatever the worker is
nodes.<id>.backend.stop was the last worker-facing NATS subject, and it existed
only because ONE publisher had not moved. An agent worker already mounted
workerctl.PathBackendStop on the tunnel it holds, and a backend worker already
took its stop there, so RemoteUnloaderAdapter branched on NodeType to pick a
carrier for a verb both kinds of worker served the same way.

The branch is gone, and with it nodeTypeOf and its NodeTypeBackend default,
which removes one of the ten NodeType branches left to sweep. The adapter loses
its messaging.MessagingClient outright rather than keeping an unused field: it
now holds no publisher, so re-routing any verb back onto the bus is a change to
the struct and to every caller of the constructor, and does not compile until
all of them agree. messaging.SubjectNodeBackendStop and subjectNodePrefix are
deleted, the agent worker's subscription with them.

pkg/natsauth drops the per-node backend.stop grant from the agent SUB list. That
is a narrowing of eleven entries to ten, never to nothing: NATS reads an EMPTY
allow list as unrestricted, so the coverage spec asserts both that the retired
subject is no longer covered and that the queue subjects an agent worker lives
on still are. The e2e half proves it against a real enforcing server: one spec
subscribes successfully on an agent-minted JWT, the next is refused the retired
subject on a JWT minted the same way.

Both halves of the old split were pinned, so both pins are re-aimed rather than
deleted, and the two node types are asserted separately rather than as one
parameterised case, because only two cases can show that the two used to differ.
Three assertions that the adapter published nothing are deleted instead: with no
publisher to hold, no change could ever redden them.

The CLI's handler set moves into agentWorkerControlHandlers so a spec can stand
it up and post to it. That wiring was a bare literal no spec pinned, and
deleting the subscription made it the ONLY carrier for backend.stop: a dropped
field would have been a 404 the frontend reads as a worker too old to serve the
verb, and nothing in the repo would have noticed.

Mutations: the agent branch restored off the control route reddens two specs;
the backend branch restored, separately, reddens five; PathBackendDelete in
place of PathBackendStop reddens nine across both node types; dropping the CLI
wiring line reddens the new wiring table; re-adding the allow-list entry reddens
the unit spec and the JWT e2e spec; and restoring the publisher for real does
not compile.

Four comments this change falsified are fixed, in core/cli, pkg/model and the
distributed-mode docs, which now say both kinds of worker serve
POST /v1/control/backend/stop and what each does with it.

Ettore Di Giacinto 2f3d5b2e74 feat(distributed): make MCP execution and discovery a selection
mcp.tools.execute and mcp.discovery were the only NATS subjects that
combined a queue group with a reply, and no carrier in this design
provides both. They never needed one: a queue group is a way of choosing
a subscriber, and choosing is a query.

The frontend now lists the approved, non-draining agent nodes, asks the
node_connections table in one joined statement which of those tunnels a
live replica holds, prefers one this replica holds so the call skips the
relay hop, and issues an ordinary control RPC on the path task 4 already
mounted. A peer-held tunnel is reached through the relay. That is a
choice a broker's hidden balancing could not make.

The selection reads presence and nothing else. It is filtered only on
node type and on the two statuses an operator controls, never on a health
verdict written on another clock, because refusing a worker that is
connected and answering is the same defect as picking one that is gone.
An empty fleet answers ErrNoAgentWorker, which is deliberately neither
ErrWorkerUnroutable nor anything cluster.IsWorkerAnswer accepts: nothing
was asked of any worker, so no reap guard may act on it.

A reply carrying an Error is the worker's own answer and is returned
unchanged; it is never offered to a second worker, which would turn "this
MCP server rejected your arguments" into "the fleet is broken" and could
run a tool twice. A call that never reached a worker is retried against a
different pick, at most three times, and whatever error is finally
returned is returned unwrapped so its identity survives the loop.

MCP prompts and resources now answer 501 in distributed mode instead of
an empty 200. They are served only from sessions the frontend holds, and
in distributed mode it holds none. That gap predates the removal of the
bus and is not closed by it; this only stops it being silent.

Agent workers keep every other subject, including nodes.<id>.backend.stop.
Their minted JWT loses the two MCP subjects and keeps a non-empty allow
list, because NATS reads an empty one as no restriction at all.

Ettore Di Giacinto e839984cf5 feat(distributed): take the backend worker off NATS entirely
A local-ai worker no longer opens a bus connection. connectNATS and its
spec are gone; Run registers once, starts its tunnel, arms /readyz on that
tunnel, and heartbeats. The worker's bus credential flags (--nats-jwt,
--nats-user-seed, --nats-require-auth, the three TLS flags) and
Config.NatsAuthRequired go with it. --nats-url stays, accepted and
ignored, so an existing worker command line still parses.

/readyz was the thing most likely to wedge a tunnel-only worker: it
required a live NATS link, so a worker with no bus would have reported
itself unready forever. nodes.NATSReadiness becomes nodes.TunnelReadiness
over a local interface{ Connected() bool }, and worker.Tunnel gains
Connected(), backed by a mutex-guarded session field the loop publishes
and clears. A closed-but-not-yet-cleared session reads as disconnected:
the loop waits for every in-flight stream before it clears the field, and
the probe must answer not-ready through that wait.

The heartbeat gate is DELETED rather than re-pointed at the tunnel. The
heartbeat is the worker's own answer that its process is alive; whether
the frontend can reach it is a separate fact the frontend already holds
and ages against LOCALAI_WORKER_RECONNECT_GRACE. Withholding the
heartbeat would report an unreachable worker as an absent one on the one
path with no grace, where the health monitor marks it offline and its
pending backend ops are deleted behind it. heartbeatLoop is given no view
of the tunnel, so a gate cannot be added back without changing its
signature.

Removing the NATS credential manager from this path also removes a defect
it carried: its refresh loop re-registered on a timer to renew a JWT, and
Register CLEARS a node's NodeModel rows. Any backend worker running on
frontend-minted credentials had its replica rows deleted roughly every
18 hours.

Of core/cli/workerregistry, everything survives. The manager is still
used in full by core/cli/agent_worker.go, which still needs NATS: Acquire,
Provider, RefreshLoop, HasCredentials and TunnelToken are all untouched.
The backend worker simply calls RegisterFullWithRetry directly now.

WorkerPermissions is documented as serving agent nodes, and its non-agent
branch narrowed to _INBOX.> on both sides. It is NOT deleted: NATS reads
an empty allow list as no restriction, so returning nil would upgrade
every JWT the frontend still mints for a backend node from its own inbox
to the whole account.

Agent workers keep the bus everywhere: their CLI flags, their
subscriptions, the agent branch of WorkerPermissions, and the compose
service with its LOCALAI_NATS_URL and depends_on: nats.

Also corrected two flags the Nodes page advertised that do not exist
(--distributed-nats, --distributed-db), and a log line plus several
comments that still named a bus the code no longer touches.

Ettore Di Giacinto 0be60accb5 feat(distributed): serve file staging over the worker tunnel
The four nodes.<id>.files.* subjects were the last commands a
serve-backend worker took off the bus. They are now HTTP routes under
workerctl.Prefix, on the same loopback server and behind the same bearer
check as the ten lifecycle verbs, so the frontend reaches them through
the worker's tunnel.

files.listdir is the verb this matters most for. Its reply had to fit a
payload the bus would carry, which put a wide model directory close to
the limit; a response body has no such ceiling, so nothing truncates the
listing at either end. A short listing reads to the frontend as files
the worker does not have.

S3NATSFileStager becomes S3FileStager and calls ControlClient, which
means every failure now lands in the bucket phase 3 exists to keep
straight: a route this frontend could not use is unroutable and nothing
may act on it, while the worker's own answer, including "that file is
not there", is evidence a caller may act on. Each RPC's deadline is
DERIVED FROM the caller's context rather than started fresh, at every
one of the five call sites, so a caller that gave up stops the RPC too.

A worker started without an object store mounts no file verb at all and
answers 404, which is the same answer a build too old to know them
gives. The subjects and the backend worker's files.> publish grant go
with them; a backend worker now publishes nowhere but its own inbox.

Ettore Di Giacinto 615eab5494 feat(distributed): call the worker's control routes instead of the bus
The ten backend and model lifecycle verbs stop being NATS requests and
become HTTP calls on the worker's own control routes, reached through
that worker's tunnel on the `http` stream tag that already carries file
staging. Nine subject builders and the per-op install-progress subject
are deleted with their entries in the worker's NATS permissions; the
request and reply DTOs are untouched, so a body on the wire is byte for
byte what the subject carried.

This closes the merge gate Task 3 left open, which was worse than lost
commands. Once the worker stopped subscribing, PingNode was still asking
nodes.<id>.backend.list and nodes.<id>.models.running, so EVERY healthy
worker answered no-responders, nodeAnswersOnBus read it as absence and
pickReachableNode demoted it on the scheduling path. PingNode is a
control RPC now, and no control RPC can produce ErrNoResponders, which
is the only error that exclusion acts on. Two specs drive
pickReachableNode against a real adapter and a worker answering over its
control plane, which is the only arrangement that can see the difference:
the router's own double never touches a transport and stayed green for
the whole window the defect was live.

How a control RPC FAILS is the whole of this change, so it is decided in
ONE function reading ONE table. A worker's answer passes through
unwrapped, so cluster.IsWorkerAnswer still sees it and a reap guard may
act on it; everything else is wrapped in ErrWorkerUnroutable so nothing
can. There is no third branch, because a third branch is how the eight
collapses on this branch happened: each was a site that decided for
itself which errors were evidence. A 404 under the prefix is its own
sentinel, because it is the worker stating a deployment fact about
ITSELF rather than a verdict about a backend, and only the legacy
upgrade fallback may act on it.

The caller's budget is checked FIRST. A timeout is not a verdict: a
refusal arriving in the instant a deadline expires would otherwise be
reported as the worker's non-transient answer, which reaps a row, and
nothing orders the two timers.

A 5xx and an undecodable body are transport failures, not answers. An
empty ModelsRunningReply means "this worker is running nothing", which
the reconciler acts on, so it must never be manufactured from a body
that would not parse. A stream that ends before its reply line is the
same rule one layer up: a tunnel dying mid-install is not the worker
saying the install failed.

backend.stop is split by node type rather than moved. Agent workers hold
no tunnel, so they have no control plane to serve, and they still
subscribe to nodes.<id>.backend.stop to drop cached MCP sessions; that
subject and its agent permission both survive. It is the honest
intermediate state until agent workers hold tunnels too.

A failed control RPC no longer demotes a node anywhere. ErrNoResponders
meant "not on the bus"; a control failure means "this frontend could not
route to it", which is equally what a healthy worker re-homing its tunnel
between replicas produces. Absence is a fact read from the database, and
the scheduler starts reading it in a later task.

The rolling-update fallback re-fires a DESTRUCTIVE force-reinstall, so
it runs only on the worker's own 404. Its negative direction was pinned
at the admin call site and unpinned at the reconciler's, where widening
the condition to any error left all 676 specs green: a background drain
nobody is watching would then force-reinstall every queued backend the
moment a replica lost its tunnels. Three specs cover it, arranged so the
force install IS reachable in the negative case and a fallback that
fired would show as a call and a drained row.

Ettore Di Giacinto e7797db90b fix(cluster): stop a late request frame reading as the worker's verdict
Making a worker's refusal reaping evidence created a defect one layer
along, at the producer. The worker refused a ReadStreamRequest failure with
ErrStreamRequestInvalid and its own comment said "Includes the deadline
above expiring", which was harmless while every refusal reached the
frontend as "no route" and became a reap the moment one of them did not. So
a request frame that had merely not ARRIVED yet was reported as a
non-transient verdict about a backend.

It is reachable on the relay path, which carries most production traffic:
the worker's header timer starts when the OWNING replica opens the stream,
while the frame is written by the DIALLING replica only after the relay's
acceptance travels back to it, so a whole peer-link round trip runs inside
that window, on a link this design deliberately loads with multi-gigabyte
artifacts beside token streams. For a long-deadline caller the endpoint is
ConnectionEvictingClient, which stops the model across the fleet. It also
falsified the "neither clears on its own" argument that licensed the reap.

There is now a fourth refusal, ErrStreamNotServed, for what a worker could
not serve for a reason of its OWN. It is deliberately outside
IsWorkerAnswer, so it reaches a consumer under the no-route umbrella and
reaps nothing, which is the same treatment an unrecognised code already
gets. Four producers move onto it: a request frame that timed out (a
malformed one stays a verdict, because that is a frontend bug no retry
fixes), both SetReadDeadline failures, which are facts about the stream and
not about a target nothing has dialled yet, and WriteStreamRefusal's
default for a reason nobody classified.

classifyServiceFailure keeps ErrStreamTargetUnavailable as its default on
purpose: inverting it would make errno enumeration the single point of
failure for the reap, and a miss there is a row nothing can ever delete.
What it gains is a deny-list of two causes that are provably this worker's
own clock or its own context.

Also:

- The read-site caller-deadline guard in the handshake was unpinned: the
  existing seam spends the budget before the handshake starts, so only the
  write could ever fail. A spec whose deadline falls between the request and
  the reply pins it, and each guard now reddens on its own.
- The documented worker-first failure line omitted the JSON error envelope
  the old frontend returns, so an operator grepping it found nothing.
- The peer-link disclosure names the aimable per-session receive window in
  all four places, and LastDialErrorOf records why a third consumer must go
  through IsWorkerAnswer rather than roll its own list.

Ettore Di Giacinto 5759b4584b fix(distributed): let a worker's own refusal be evidence about its backend
A worker that refuses a stream has answered, and cluster.Dial keeps the three
tunnelproto sentinels out of the ErrNoRoute umbrella precisely so a consumer
can act on that. No consumer did. Since workers stopped listening, a backend
process that crashed on a healthy worker is no longer a dead listener's
codes.Unavailable: the worker refuses the stream with
ErrStreamTargetUnavailable, gRPC flattens it into Unavailable anyway, and
nodes.unroutable reported the whole thing as "this frontend has no route".
Every reap path then answered ProbeUnknown and left the row, so the replica
slot never freed and at the default MaxReplicasPerModel=1 the only cleanup
left was LRU eviction of models that were working.

isWorkerAnswer is exported as cluster.IsWorkerAnswer, so the errors the dialer
keeps out of the umbrella are by construction the errors the consumers treat
as the worker answering. nodes.unroutable and pkg/model's transportFailure
both use it; ConnectionEvictingClient, the site reached during inference, goes
through transportFailure rather than asking the transport directly. A reply
code this frontend does not recognise is still not an answer, so a newer
worker's vocabulary costs a retry and not a replica.

The reap guards keep the allow-list rather than requiring ErrNoRoute: an
unrecognised dial error must mean "no route", never "the backend is gone".

Also in this final pass over the branch:

- Docs: recommend upgrading FRONTENDS first, with the symptom of each order.
  Workers-first fails now that a 4xx registration is a verdict rather than an
  outage, so an old frontend's "address is required for backend workers" makes
  each restarted worker exit and drains the fleet a node per restart.
- Docs: LOCALAI_WORKER_TUNNEL=false is a fatal startup error, not a degraded
  mode, in both places that described it; and a frontend rollback needs every
  worker restarted, because re-registration force-clears the address columns.
- A replica with no advertised address now says so every five minutes and
  names the workers only it can reach, instead of one startup warning for a
  cost paid for the life of the process.
- callerRanOut's rule now holds at all three siblings, so an expired caller
  deadline stops reading as a broken tunnel; probeHealth's withdrawn reason
  for using the raw client is corrected; the dead DoOrCached is deleted and
  its coverage kept on DoOrCachedResult; sweepLeakedInFlight enumerates the
  outcomes that reach it.
- The peer route's self-declared id is recorded as a phase-3 deferral, in the
  handler, in the isolation claim it narrows, and in the operator docs.

Ettore Di Giacinto 6ae1fe25dd fix(distributed): refuse a worker that cannot tunnel, and say why it was refused
Review round 1 on the change that stopped workers listening. One blocking item
and seven notes.

LOCALAI_WORKER_TUNNEL=false was the blocking one, and the ruling was to make it
fatal rather than to correct the comment that still promised it fell back to the
advertised address. There is no fallback left: a worker on this branch
advertises nothing and binds only loopback, so turning the tunnel off leaves it
reachable by nothing while it registers, heartbeats and reports healthy, and the
scheduler keeps placing models on it. That is the worst available failure shape,
so a new Config.validateStartup refuses it before prefetch, registration and
NATS, while the worker is still invisible to the cluster. It absorbs the
pre-existing empty-registration-token check, which had the same shape and no
spec. The flag is kept rather than deleted so an operator who set it is told the
promise is gone instead of having the setting ignored, and the guard around
StartTunnel is removed, because a branch nothing can take reads as a supported
no-tunnel mode that does not exist.

The justification for erroring on an install that names no address was wrong,
and the review is right that this is the dangerous form of overclaiming, because
the conclusion holds and the mechanism does not. It said the resulting empty
target would be refused as an invalid stream and that the refusal would read as
the worker answering about its backend. Nothing in this repo branches on
cluster.ErrNoRoute, and nodes.unroutable treats any recorded dial error as
unroutable, so that refusal reaches every reap guard as ProbeUnknown and deletes
nothing. The site now stands on what holds, that an install naming no port
produced nothing routable and the failure belongs to the install rather than to
a later probe, and records the retracted claim so nobody re-derives it. This
retracts the same paragraph in the body of 1cf847f29.

The reviewer deleted the whole tryWarmPath unnamed-replica guard and the suite
stayed green, including the reservation release. It is specced now, and the
asymmetry the review asked about is decided at the site: the row stays, unlike
the sibling !alive branch which removes it. That branch has observed a backend
dead; this one has observed only that the row is unreadable, which says nothing
about whether a process is running, and the row is the last record that one
might be, since the acknowledged stop path refuses a stop whose ExpectedAddress
does not match and an empty one cannot be cleaned up through it either.

The cross-version wire claim rested on two struct tags nobody asserted:
renaming only the json keys survived mutation while the gorm column rename went
red through raw SQL. Both keys are pinned now, marshal and unmarshal, per
struct.

A worker-first upgrade showed the operator a status code and not the reason. The
registration client discarded the body, so "address is required for backend
workers" was read off the socket and thrown away, and the ladder then spent four
minutes on a verdict the frontend reached instantly. Refusals now quote the body
and carry ErrRegistrationRejected, and both the ladder and the credential
manager's Acquire stop on the first one. Acquire matters more than the ladder:
it is the default path and its bound is 100 attempts, not 10. 408 and 429 are
deliberately not refusals, since both are the frontend asking for the same
request again.

Also: the stale "not blocked by firewalls" troubleshooting line, which now names
the real cause and the knobs that move the port range; and the inert address
fields on the MCP Node DTO, which the Assistant was still being handed. The
review named http_address there and I removed address too, because it is inert
by the same argument and leaving one of a pair is arbitrary.

Five mutations, all red. Deleting the warm-path guard reddens four specs and
falsifying only its reservation release reddens one, so the two halves are
pinned separately. Renaming only the json keys reddens both wire suites.
Discarding the refusal body reddens two. Dropping the rejection classification
does not fail the suite, it hangs it, which is the operator-visible symptom, so
it is recorded red under a ginkgo timeout.

The verify list is now derived from the diff rather than from the brief, which
is what let the previous round ship a spec asserting 200 where the endpoint
returns 201: nine ginkgo suites, the e2e vet, route auth coverage, the leaf
check, build, the healthcheck shell suite and lint. The two jsx files have no
harness in this worktree and are recorded as the one unverified surface.

Ettore Di Giacinto fa7b3616d3 docs(grpc): withdraw the lint-cost claim, and make the one nolint tidy-proof
I reported that enabling gocritic pushed make lint past 600s. That was wrong,
and it was wrong in a way worth naming: those runs happened right after I
changed pkg/grpc's and core/services/nodes' interfaces, so the Go build cache
was cold for essentially the whole repository including every backend, and test
suites were running concurrently on the same machine. I attributed a cold-cache
full-repo typecheck under load to the linter I had just enabled, and raised it
as a cost without ever timing it against a baseline. A number with no control is
not a measurement.

Measured properly, with the golangci cache cleaned before every run and isolated
GOCACHE directories for the cold ones so the shared cache was not wiped: warm,
base 15s then 7s and current 8s then 7s; cold, base 87s and current 78s running
base first, base 136s and current 79s running current first. The spread between
the two cold base runs is larger than any gap between base and current, so
gocritic with only the ruleguard checker costs nothing measurable.

So the rule stays, unscoped. Scoping it to core and pkg was the fallback for a
cost that does not exist, and adding that configuration would buy nothing.

The one override gets the protection it needs instead. InFlightTrackingClient's
nolint is exactly the kind of thing a later reader tidies away, so it now opens
by saying not to, and states what breaks rather than what is intended:
WrappedBackend embeds the full Backend interface, so adopting it there would
promote every inference method as untracked pass-through, the build would stay
GREEN, and in-flight accounting would silently stop covering whatever was added
next. WrappedBackend's own doc carries the counterpart warning so a reader
arriving from either side finds it.

Ettore Di Giacinto d7002b89c5 test(nodes): make the joiner spec deterministic, and gate the wrapper shape in lint
Re-review round 2. One blocking item, and it was a spec I wrote: eight
goroutines raced at the probe cache and nothing made them coalesce, so a
straggler that missed the flight re-entered the probe and double-closed a
channel. It panicked about one run in three and took the four-suite race block
down. The green verification I reported was not reproducible, which means one
green run was never evidence for a spec that coordinates goroutines. Its comment
claimed the probe blocked until every goroutine was inside flight.Do, and that
gap was exactly the panic: the comment described the design intended rather than
the one written.

It is deterministic now rather than tolerant. singleflight.DoChan registers its
channel on an in-flight call under the group's own mutex and returns without
running its function, so calling it while the leader is provably parked inside
the probe joins that exact flight with no window and no dependence on the
scheduler. The spec asserts the join really happened, that the joiner got the
reason and not only the answer, and that the probe ran once; the entered channel
is sent on rather than closed so a second probe fails an assertion instead of
panicking. Twenty runs green under race against the committed code, five out of
five red on the mutation back to a closed-over variable.

The future-decorator gap is closed in the lint gate, but not the way the review
suggested, and the reason is worth recording. HasMethod rejects inline
signatures outright, its method-reference form needs a package ruleguard's own
typechecker can import and that typechecker cannot import this module, and
Implements tests the value method set while every Unwrap is on a pointer
receiver, so it fired on all three wrappers that already had one.

So the safe shape is structural instead. grpc.WrappedBackend gives the same
pass-through method set plus Unwrap on a value receiver, and a decorator that
embeds it is transparent by construction; forgetting stops being expressible
rather than merely discouraged, which is the move loopbackService already makes
in the worker. FileStagingClient and ConnectionEvictingClient embed it and their
hand-written Unwrap methods are gone. The ruleguard rule then only has to catch
the raw embedding, needs no type filter, and cannot misfire. It was verified to
fire on a throwaway wrapper and stay silent on a correct one, and reports
nothing across core and pkg with the baseline disabled.

InFlightTrackingClient is the one exception and says why in a nolint: it embeds
ControlBackend deliberately so that leaving an inference method unwrapped breaks
the build, and WrappedBackend embeds the full interface, so adopting it would
silently restore pass-through for every inference method and delete that
guarantee.

Ettore Di Giacinto 34f9b14b67 fix(grpc): let the transport answer through the wrappers, not only past gRPC
Re-review round 2. One blocking defect, and it was the concern I filed myself
last round and mis-scoped as a future trap. It was live, and it sat on the most
destructive reaping path of the five.

RouteResult.Client is an InFlightTrackingClient, over a FileStagingClient when a
stager is configured. model_router puts that on the cached remote model and
pkg/model's checkIsLoaded asks IT whether the transport failed. Both wrappers
embed grpc.Backend, which does not declare LastDialError, so the type assertion
read nil and the guard added last round fell straight through to the old
eviction. That eviction sends backend.stop over NATS to every node holding the
model and deletes every replica row, where the other sites delete one. The spec
covering it built a bare client by hand, which is why it passed while production
did not.

This is the third time in this task a correct fix was disarmed one layer out, so
the fix is a mechanism rather than two methods. BackendUnwrapper is one line per
decorator, LastDialErrorOf walks the chain, and both consumers now call it
instead of each keeping its own assertion. One implementation, no per-caller
policy to get wrong.

Sweeping every type that embeds or holds a grpc.Backend found a third decorator
the review had not named, and it is itself a reaping consumer of the same
collapsed signal. ConnectionEvictingClient is built for remote models in
initializers.go and its evict callback runs ShutdownModel; it fires during
INFERENCE rather than on a health check, so a tunnel blip mid-request was enough
to stop a model that was loaded and serving. It consults the transport first
now. A locally spawned backend has no custom transport, so that path is
unchanged byte for byte. Everything else touching a Backend is a consumer rather
than a decorator; there is no fourth.

The probe cache joiner shape is pinned. It was the right design last round with
nothing holding it: the mutation back to a closed-over variable passed all 602
specs in the package. Eight goroutines coalesced on a probe that blocks on a
channel now assert every joiner gets the leader's REASON and not just its
answer, which is the difference between a leader declining to reap and its seven
joiners reaping on the leader's own observation.

The LastDialError scope note claimed an exactness it does not have at
checkIsLoaded, which reads a shared long-lived client after releasing opMutex.
It now says which caller is not exact, why the imprecision is accepted there,
and what making it exact would cost.

The four-outcome table in the docs still said a worker with no live owner is
treated as absent and rescheduled, contradicting the code and the paragraph nine
lines below it. None of those outcomes is absence any more, and the table says
so, names the fifth, and points at the heartbeat as the thing that does decide
presence.

Five mutations, each reddening named specs, including the two the reviewer found
surviving.

Ettore Di Giacinto ed16aa2fd2 fix(cluster): make "no route" a condition of its own, and let it out of the package
Review round 1 on task 6. Five blocking findings, all with the same root: the
conditions the dialer kept apart were erased one layer out, because every one of
them arrived at core/services/nodes as a gRPC codes.Unavailable, which is also
what a backend process that died produces. Four call sites acted on that by
deleting a replica row, one of them after a single failed probe.

The fifth condition is ErrNoRoute: this replica could not get a request to a
worker's backend, and no claim at all about the worker. A worker's presence is
its HEARTBEAT, which nodes owns; a route is a separate fact that cluster owns,
and the two now differ. They differ in normal operation, not exotically: a
worker that has not dialled its tunnel yet after a frontend-first upgrade is
unroutable on every request while it heartbeats and serves.

Two properties, both mutation-tested. Every failure to resolve or open a route
carries ErrNoRoute, so a consumer has one check to make. No failure carries an
absence sentinel: routeFailure is the single place that rule lives, and it keeps
ErrNoConnection and ErrInstanceNotFound in the message and out of the unwrap
chain, the guarantee unreachableError already made for peers. Everything else
stays matchable, so ErrNotOwner and ErrPeerUnreachable are unchanged for anyone
who can act on them. A worker's own refusal carries no umbrella, because a
worker that answers has demonstrated it is there and that is the only real
evidence on the path.

Crossing the boundary needed a value, not a code. NewClientWithDialer wraps the
dialer and records each outcome; LastDialError hands it back behind a narrow
interface, and nodes.unroutable turns it into ErrWorkerUnroutable with the
cluster sentinels still in the chain. A spec asserts a dial failing with
ErrNoRoute plus ErrPeerUnreachable arrives matching all three and matching
neither absence sentinel.

The sweep found a fourth site the review had not named: pkg/model checkIsLoaded
evicts a remote model on a connection error, and a tunnel dial failure is one.
Four other reap sites were cleared with reasons - inflight and the worker
authoritative pass reap only on semantic answers, scale-down is driven by
last_used, abandoned loads decide on the node's heartbeat. Every fixed site also
grew the opposite spec, so the new check cannot pass by never reaping.

probeCache carries the reason through singleflight rather than a closed-over
variable. A variable is only written by the goroutine that runs the probe, so
the leader would correctly decline to reap while every joiner reaped on the
leader's own observation; a mutation reproduces exactly that.

The docs sentence promising LOCALAI_WORKER_TUNNEL=false restores direct dialling
is gone. There is no such path, so it said the operator could take a worker dark
and call it a rollback. Replaced with the upgrade order that is actually safe.

The deadline spec the reviewer found vacuous now waits on the dial context's own
Done channel before touching the stream, so the armed deadline has really
expired; the mutation that survived for the reviewer reddens it.

Nine mutations, each reddening a named spec, including both halves of
isAbsenceClaim independently.

Ettore Di Giacinto e29a4e5d15 feat(cluster): reach every worker through its tunnel, never its address
The tunnel, the fence, the registry and the relay were all built and none of
them carried a byte: every dial from the frontend still went to the address a
worker registered. This is where that stops. One WorkerDialer resolves where a
worker's tunnel is held, opens a stream on it locally or relays through the
owning replica, and hands back a conn past both handshakes; gRPC, the file
stager's HTTP client and the log-streaming WebSocket are all pointed at it.

A worker's address stops being somewhere to connect to and becomes the name of
which backend process a stream is for. It still appears in URLs, logs and
errors, because that is what identifies the process; what it no longer decides
is where the bytes go.

Nothing falls back to dialling it. BackendClientFactory now has exactly one
method, NewClientForNode, and returns an error where there is no way to reach
the worker. The direct-dial constructor was removed rather than kept beside it,
because leaving one on the interface keeps the bypass one word away from every
call site that holds an address, which is all of them.

The second construction path is closed too. DistributedModelStore built remote
models with a nil client, and pkg/model.Model.GRPC then dialled the raw address
lazily on first use - reached in production by ShutdownModel's Free and by the
backend monitor's Status. Those models now carry the tunnel-backed client, and
a model that cannot be given one is logged and not listed.

Four conditions stay unmixable, and one path produces absence: the dialer
answers ErrNoConnection only where Owner's liveness join did. A peer that will
not answer, a stale ownership row, a worker's own refusal and a missing relay
path are each reported as themselves. This matters because nodes ACTS on
absence, and the collapse would have it reclaim the models of a worker that is
connected and busy.

That is not hypothetical. Writing the mutation for it exposed the bug in this
change's own first draft: probeHealth returned bare false when it could not
build a client, and tryWarmPath deletes the replica row on a false probe. A
frontend whose dialer broke would have emptied node_models for the whole
deployment while every model kept running. probeHealth now returns alive and
probed separately, the reconciler gets a ProbeUnknown outcome that neither
advances nor clears a failure streak, and the health monitor skips rather than
counting a miss.

Task 5 left the relay's open timeout at a fixed 15s and said so: no operator
has the information to set it, because the number that matters is the original
client's remaining budget, which is invisible on the relay side. The dialer has
that budget, so it now states it in the relay request frame and the owner takes
the smaller of the two. It can only shorten - a patient client must not be able
to park a relay goroutine and a stream slot on a worker that stopped accepting.
Zero is written as no budget at all, since on the far side the number zero is a
caller with nothing left and would refuse healthy traffic.

Seven mutations, each reddening a named spec: peer-unreachable as absence; the
local-failure guard dropped; max instead of min on the budget; the nil-client
model restored; ProbeUnknown falling through to the reaper; OwnerRow instead of
Owner; probed collapsed into alive. The first budget spec passed for the wrong
reason - a handshake deadline, not the relay - and was replaced by three that
each assert one link, including one where the spec plays the owning replica and
reads the budget out of the frame instead of inferring it from a clock.

Ettore Di Giacinto a0c7b2709b test(distributed): scope the log-subscriber wait and mark the race it works around
Three corrections from review of the previous commit.

The lock-order comment on SubscriberCount claimed no path takes s.mu and a
buffer lock together. Subscribe does exactly that, holding s.mu.RLock across
replica registrations that take buf.mu. State the rule that is actually true —
s.mu precedes any buffer lock, so counting after releasing it preserves the
order — and say what follows from it: the total is a sample, not a snapshot.

waitForLogSubscriber read as general-purpose but unblocks on the first
registered subscription. Subscribe attaches the exact-key buffer and each
replica buffer one at a time, so for a replicated model the count goes positive
while later replicas are still unattached and the race survives. Rename it
waitForSingleLogSubscriber, document that it holds only where Subscribe
resolves to one buffer, and assert on exactly 1: misuse then fails loudly on
the count rather than going quietly back to being flaky. Taking the expected
count as a parameter was the alternative, but that makes callers predict a
store-internal number and an under-count fails the same silent way as the
original bug.

The snapshot-then-subscribe race had no artifact outside a report, and review
found a second site carrying it. Mark both handlers identically, including the
point that swapping the two calls duplicates rather than drops and so is not
the fix. The race itself is left alone; this branch stays test infrastructure.

Ettore Di Giacinto d8b32066e3 test(distributed): wait for the log subscriber instead of racing it
The WebSocket log handler writes its "initial" batch before it calls
Subscribe, so a line appended the instant that batch arrives lands in the
circular buffer with no subscriber to receive it. Three backend-logs specs
append exactly there and then wait out a 5s read deadline; once a gorilla
read hits its deadline the connection is unusable, so the spec cannot retry.
`--focus='Worker WebSocket log streaming' --repeat=25` failed on attempt 17
with nothing else running, which is far too often to wire into CI.

Add BackendLogStore.SubscriberCount, resolving a model ID by the same
exact-key and replica-prefix rules Subscribe uses, and have the specs poll it
until the handler has attached. Nothing in production calls it and no
assertion is weakened; the handler's own snapshot/subscribe window is left as
it is, being a production streaming question rather than a test one.

Verified with 60 repeats of the WebSocket specs and three consecutive
--randomize-all runs of the whole distributed suite, all at
--flake-attempts 1: 239 of 240 specs pass in about 80 seconds.

check, so ftp://user:token@host is refused as userinfo, and a match with a
query string or fragment is refused because it can never apply and a query
string is where signed URLs carry their token. Every YAML decode error is
now redacted, not only type errors: quoted scalars such as a secret under a
mismatched !!int tag are replaced and unquoted map keys are cut off.

* fix(downloads): make auth errors name the real cause and never retry unresolved secrets

AuthError now appends its cause, so a registry's DENIED or UNAUTHORIZED
detail reaches the operator. HTTP auth errors print only the status text in
place of the cause, because the downloader builds that cause from the
requested URL, which can carry a signed query string. Registry pulls say
that docker config credentials were tried too, and a download that carried
a caller-provided credential (WithBearerToken, or an explicit authorization
on gallery reads) reports that credential as rejected instead of blaming
the store.

The Range probe for a leftover partial file now returns an unresolved
secret as a permanent error, like the download request already did.

* fix(credentials): keep oras pulls anonymous on a broken docker helper and close bodies

When docker config names a credsStore helper that cannot run, the oras
credential func now logs at debug and returns no credential, so public
pulls keep working as they did before the adapter existed. The transport
closes the request body when a rule's secret cannot be resolved, as the
RoundTripper contract requires. The redirect spec now uses a custom header
rule on the origin, which net/http would not strip on its own, to prove the
transport does not carry credentials to the next hop.

FetchImageBlob now has a spec that pulls a layer blob by digest from a

the same fetch fails when no rule matches. oras only speaks HTTPS here, so
the registry serves TLS and the spec points http.DefaultTransport, which
retry.DefaultClient falls back to, at the test server's client for its
duration instead of adding a transport seam to production code.

not carry a query string or fragment. The backend gallery docs and the

fix(downloader): make file:// installs reachable again

DownloadFileWithContext already has a branch that copies from a local
file, but it could never run. Before reaching it the function decides
whether the destination is fetchable with

    } else if !os.IsNotExist(err) || !URI(url).LooksLikeHTTPURL() {

and LooksLikeHTTPURL is http(s) only, so any URI resolving to a local
path is rejected there. Falling through requires the destination to be
missing AND the source to be an HTTP URL, which a file:// source never
is -- leaving the local-source branch below unreachable.

A first import always has a missing destination, so importing
file:///path/to/model.gguf always failed, with an error that listed
file:// among the supported schemes (#11701).

Name the local-source condition once as URI.hasLocalSource and use it
both to admit the destination and to pick the source, so the two cannot
drift apart again.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 80e3240f2d feat(distributed): key scheduling rules by a model alias (#11771)
Node placement and replica rules could only name a model, so an operator
who pinned "llama3" to the GPU tier had to rewrite the rule whenever a
different model took over that job. An alias already gives a stable name
for whichever model serves it, and a rule on that name makes it a
deployment slot: repoint the alias and the placement follows.

A rule keeps the name the operator chose. Reads resolve that name through
the config loader to the model the rule governs, so the reconciler counts,
schedules and trims replicas of the target, and the router finds an
alias-keyed rule from the target it is already routing. An alias that
resolves to nothing governs nothing loadable, so the reconciler skips it
and the write paths refuse it.

A replica is shared by every name that resolves to it, so only one rule
can decide where it runs. The REST and MCP write paths reject a rule whose
target another rule already governs. A pair that arrives some other way,
such as a seed file or an alias repointed onto a model that already has a
rule, resolves in favour of the rule named after the model itself and then
the oldest, and the rest are listed as shadowed.

The eviction guard is the exception: it matches rules to replicas in raw
SQL inside a locking transaction and cannot resolve an alias. It reads a
stored target that the reconciler refreshes each tick, and falls back to
the rule's own name when that target is empty.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto d7ff43781d fix(oci): resume interrupted layer downloads (#11688)
quay.io redirects blob downloads to pre-signed S3/Akamai URLs that
expire after about 10 minutes. On a slow connection a multi-GiB
backend layer cannot finish inside that window, so the connection
drops mid-stream on every attempt. The retry added for #10577
restarted each attempt from byte zero, which replayed the same
failure until the budget ran out and the install failed with
"unexpected EOF".

A retry now keeps the bytes already on disk and re-requests the
blob with "Range: bytes=N-". Each request goes back to the
registry, so it gets a fresh redirect URL and auth token. The
retry budget only counts attempts that made no forward progress,
so a slow link that keeps advancing keeps downloading. A resumed
file is spliced from separate responses and bypasses the digest
check in layer.Compressed(), so the assembled file is re-verified
against the layer digest before it is trusted; on a mismatch the
download starts over through the verified reader.

Fixes #10577

* test: drop the static network lint in favour of real isolation

The offline test suite already prevents tests from reaching the network
twice over: run-test-linux-offline.sh puts the test process in a cgroup
and REJECTs egress outside the private ranges, and HardenedTransport
installs testnetwork.LocalGuard to refuse dials that resolve to a public
address. Both fail the test with a precise error at the moment of the
dial.

test-network-lint.sh added neither. Its diff stage defaulted to a HEAD
base, so on a clean checkout it compared the tree against itself and
inspected nothing; the branch's own commits were never examined. It only
produced output when an earlier job step dirtied the tree, and then it
matched a bare https?:// against whatever changed. make react-ui runs
npm install rather than npm ci, so CI rewrote
core/http/react-ui/package-lock.json and the lint reported an npm
registry URL as forbidden test network access:

  +      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/hono/-/hono-4.12.25.tgz",

Its fingerprint stage was self-defeating in a quieter way: hashing the
whole tree's network-mechanism inventory meant every rebase onto a master
that touched any _test.go needed a manual baseline bump, so the check
mostly caught its own staleness.

Remove the script, its make target and the two prerequisite edges, along
with the test-network: fixture markers that existed only to suppress it.
The isolation itself is untouched.

* ci: keep hidden files in the offline test bundle artifact

Cherry-picked from 15a37b0ac on the remote branch. The offline bundle lives

job packed an artifact missing the very file the next step restores.

The other half of 15a37b0ac moved test-network-lint out of the `test` and
`test-coverage` prerequisite lists into a recipe line, so parallel make could
not fingerprint the tree while generated fixtures were still changing. That
is dropped: the preceding commit removes the lint entirely, and the race it
worked around is one more reason a whole-tree fingerprint was the wrong
mechanism.

Richard Palethorpe d10374f849 feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus (#10652)
* feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus

Add `classifier: knn` — similarity-weighted voting over labelled
example prompts. Unlike score/colbert it needs no classifier model:
label knowledge lives in a corpus seeded and curated through the
admin API, so routing decisions are deterministic, auditable, and
grounded in graded experience rather than a model's opinion.

Epistemic gate: corpus entries below knn.similarity_threshold cannot
vote; when none clears it the classifier activates no labels and the
router uses the fallback — a prompt unlike all labelled experience is
treated as undecidable, not guessed. Decisions record
nearest_similarity (also on fallback rows) so admins can see how far
the nearest labelled experience was; the Routing tab explains
out-of-corpus fallbacks and shows per-label corpus counts.

Persistence: one JSONL file per router under
<data path>/router-corpus (text, labels, vector, embedder
fingerprint). The file is the source of truth; the local-store index
is rebuilt from it at classifier build time and stays a pure
in-memory index. Entries recorded under a different embedding model
re-embed on load. Also corrects the docs' false claim that
local-store collections persist — the embedding cache never survived
restarts (and still doesn't); the corpus does.

Corpus input is API-only by design (entries may contain example user
content): POST /api/router/{name}/corpus seeds (labels validated
against declared policies, embedded server-side, indexed
immediately), GET .../corpus/stats inspects — label counts only,
entry texts are never returned by any surface — DELETE .../corpus
wipes. Admin-gated like the sibling router endpoints, and exposed as
MCP tools (seed_router_corpus / get_router_corpus_stats /
clear_router_corpus) in both the httpapi and inproc clients with
coverage-test route mappings.

Plumbing: VectorStore gains SearchK (top-K was hardcoded to 1);
local-store gets InsertBatch/Delete as optional fast paths;
RouterConfig gains a knn block (embedding_model, k,
similarity_threshold, vote_threshold, store_name) with meta-registry
fields; the classifier dropdown now offers knn and the
previously-missing colbert; embedding_cache is ignored (with a
warning) for knn — it IS an embedding-KNN lookup; the stale
/api/instructions intelligent-routing entry is rewritten (it
described a classifier that no longer exists); swagger regenerated.

Tests: KNN vote/gate specs with hand-computed vote shares, corpus
manager suite (restart reload without re-embedding, fingerprint
re-embed, dedupe, hostile store names), middleware specs (corpus
routing, gate fallback, config validation, cache-wrap refusal),
corpus endpoint specs pinning the texts-never-returned contract, MCP
catalog + route-mapping gates, and a Playwright spec for corpus
stats and the out-of-corpus decision detail.

* feat(router): name consulted corpus neighbours in knn decisions

Every knn decision (decision log rows and the /api/router/decide
response) now carries neighbors: the K retrieved corpus entries by
descending similarity - including ones below the epistemic gate, which
is what makes fallback decisions diagnosable - each as {id, similarity,
labels}. The id is the entry's content hash (first 8 bytes of the
SHA-256 of its text, hex): stable across reseeds and re-embeds, and
text-free, so an external platform that seeded the corpus can recompute
text->id on its own copy and bucket decisions by corpus region (per-
region reliability accounting) without corpus text ever leaving the
server. A corrupt index payload surfaces as an id-less neighbour at a
real similarity instead of disappearing.

* refactor(router): deduplicate knn plumbing and cut corpus hot-path waste

Post-review cleanup of the knn-first-class-router branch; no behaviour
changes on the API surface.

Reuse/altitude:
- RouterKNNConfig.ResolvedStoreName is now the single source of the
  router-corpus-<name> default (was hand-derived in four files).
- corpus.ResolveKNNRouter + corpus.Seed carry the shared model
  resolution and seed validation; the REST endpoints and the assistant
  MCP client are thin transport adapters over them, with sentinel
  errors mapped to HTTP statuses at the echo boundary.
- middleware.NewClassifierDeps assembles the classifier dependency set
  once for all five entry points (OpenAI, Anthropic, realtime, decide,
  corpus) instead of five hand-copied literals.
- router.AllClassifiers feeds both the status endpoint and the
  unknown-classifier error, ending the classifier-list drift.
- Per-classifier requirements moved out of validateRouterPolicies into
  their buildClassifier arms; the knn arm owns its embedding_cache
  opt-out instead of a name-check in the shared wrap tail.
- adminOnly replaces four inline copies of the admin gate in the
  middleware routes.
- localVectorStore.Search delegates to SearchK (identical traces).

Efficiency:
- Manager.Add embeds outside the manager mutex and appends to the
  JSONL file (O(new) instead of O(corpus) rewrite); a torn tail from a
  crash mid-append is tolerated on read and repaired on next write.
- Stats memoises per store keyed on the file's stat fingerprint and no
  longer takes the manager mutex, so the 5s status poll stops parsing
  vector-laden JSONL and stops blocking behind seeds.
- KNN Classify decodes each neighbour payload once (was twice) and
  builds refs and votes in a single pass with one fallback return.
- Corpus file writes fsync before rename/close.
- The corpus manager is built eagerly in newApplication (sync.Once
  dropped); test helper dead branch removed.

pooling_half_life_tokens; a request overriding the scheme to mean/last

validation rejected the pair the server itself had assembled. Zero the

still 400s.

88edd7fc7f fix(distributed): run cold model loads as durable jobs instead of holding the advisory lock (#11514)
* fix(advisorylock): set statement_timeout alongside lock_timeout

WithLockCtx already overrides a deployment-wide lock_timeout on its
dedicated connection so a blocking pg_advisory_lock() waits its turn
instead of failing with 55P03. statement_timeout aborts that exact same
statement independently, with SQLSTATE 57014, and was not overridden.

Production roles commonly carry statement_timeout=60s. Any guarded
section longer than that (a cold model load stages for tens of minutes)
therefore killed every concurrent waiter:

  advisorylock: acquiring lock 9003261067483446873: ERROR: canceling
  statement due to statement timeout (SQLSTATE 57014)

Derive it from the same context budget as lock_timeout, with a matching
RESET so the pooled connection is returned clean.

* feat(distributed): add ModelLoadJob, the durable cold-load record

A cold load in distributed mode is a long-running background job, but it
was modelled as a synchronous side effect of an inference request: the
whole of it (backend install, multi-GB staging, checkpoint load) ran
inside the per-model advisory lock. Loading a 35.7 GB GGUF held that lock
for ~20 minutes, so every concurrent request for the same model blocked
on pg_advisory_lock and died at the role's 60s statement_timeout.

Introduce the row that lets the lock shrink to a decision. Exactly one
ModelLoadJob may be active per tracking key; that uniqueness — not the
lifetime of a lock — is what de-duplicates concurrent loaders across
replicas. ClaimLoadJob does its read-then-write under the advisory lock
and nothing else: no network, file or gRPC I/O inside the guarded
section, so a claim costs milliseconds no matter how long the resulting
load takes.

LastProgress is a heartbeat rather than a byte counter. A checkpoint load
legitimately moves zero bytes for many minutes, so a reaper keyed on byte
movement would reclaim a healthy job mid-load; byte progress stays the
concern of load_deadline.go. A job whose heartbeat stops for longer than
the orphan window is reclaimable, so a replica killed mid-load cannot
wedge a model permanently.

Failed jobs keep their row for a short grace so an immediately-following
request reports the real cause instead of silently starting a fresh load
of a model that just failed.

No caller yet — the router moves onto this in the next commit.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* refactor(distributed): run cold loads as jobs, outside the advisory lock

Route wrapped the entire cold load — node selection, backend install,
multi-GB staging and the remote LoadModel — in the per-model advisory
lock. The lock's job is to de-duplicate concurrent loaders, a decision
that takes milliseconds; holding it for the tens of minutes the resulting
work takes is what turned a dedup mechanism into a cluster-wide outage
for that model.

Split it into a claim and a run. The claim is the only thing left inside
the lock. The run is a background job owned by the claiming replica and
bounded by the same progress-extended deadline as before; every other
request for that model — local or on another replica — attaches as a
waiter and is served the moment the model is ready, with no duplicate
load and no lock contention.

Waiters share one broadcast rather than an ordered queue: they all want
the identical outcome, so ordering them would add fairness machinery that
changes no result. The local channel wakes same-replica waiters instantly
and a 2s DB poll is the authority, because a waiter on another replica
has no channel to close. On wake a waiter re-runs the warm path rather
than trusting the signal — the model may have been evicted in between.

A waiter whose client disconnects returns immediately and the job keeps
running; it belongs to the job record, not to the request. A failure is
recorded on the row so every waiter reports the real cause, and the row
survives briefly so the next request does not read "no job" as "not
loading" and start a duplicate load of a model that just failed.

The runner heartbeats the row on a fixed interval whether or not bytes
are moving, which is what keeps a legitimately silent checkpoint load
from being reclaimed as an orphan. Phase (installing/staging/loading) and
placement ride to the heartbeat on the context, the same seam
load_deadline.go already uses, so single-host paths are untouched.

Non-distributed mode (no DB) keeps the inline load exactly as it was.

* feat(distributed): bound the wait for a loading model and answer with progress

A request whose model is cold-loading now attaches to the running job and
is served the moment the model is ready. That wait has to be bounded: a
held HTTP request cannot survive real infrastructure, and an ingress or LB
idle timeout kills a twenty-minute request regardless of what LocalAI
does.

New LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_WAIT (default 60s) bounds the CALLER, never the
load — the job keeps running either way. On expiry the request gets 503
with Retry-After and a structured body naming the model, the node, the
phase, byte progress and an ETA. The `error` envelope keeps OpenAI
clients working; `loading` is additive so they ignore it.

The ETA comes from the job's own observed rate and is omitted rather than
guessed until enough bytes have moved for that rate to mean anything: a
confidently wrong ETA on a twenty-minute wait is worse than none.
Retry-After is that ETA when known, clamped to [5s, 300s], and the wait
budget otherwise.

LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_WAIT=0 waits unbounded, for deployments with no proxy
in front. Zero in the config struct still means "unset, use the default",
so the CLI records the operator's zero as ModelLoadWaitUnbounded rather
than losing the distinction.

The distributed branch of ModelLoader.loadModel wrapped the router's
error with %s, which flattened it to a string. Use %w: the typed error is
what the HTTP layer keys the 503 off.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* feat(api): add GET /api/models/{id}/load-status

A client that receives 503 while a model stages onto a worker needs
somewhere to poll. This returns the same `loading` object the 503 carries
— phase, node, byte progress and ETA — or 404 when no load is running.

Read-only and observability-shaped, so it is deliberately neither
admin-gated nor feature-gated: it explains a 503 the caller just
received, and hiding that behind a per-modality feature would make the
explanation for a failed image request depend on chat permissions. It
also gets no MCP tool, since there is nothing here an admin would manage
conversationally.

Registered on the surfaces from .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md: the
swagger block (existing `models` tag, so /api/instructions needs no new
area), the endpoint discovery maps in RegisterLocalAIRoutes, regenerated
swagger, and the distributed-mode docs page. No FLAG_* usecase is
involved, so capabilities.js is unchanged.

* feat(ui): show cold-load progress in Chat and retry when the model is ready

A chat request for a model that is still staging onto a worker now gets a
503 carrying live progress instead of an error. Render it: the composer
shows the phase (installing / staging / loading), the node, the percent
and the ETA, then polls load-status and re-sends the request the moment
the model is ready.

Reuses the staging progress idiom the page already had rather than
inventing a second one — the two sources are folded into one
loadProgress, with the load job winning because it is authoritative
across frontend replicas and knows the phase, where the staging operation
only knows about a byte transfer this replica happens to be performing.

Waiting is bounded (three send attempts, ~30 min of polling each), so a
load that never finishes still surfaces as an error rather than as a
spinner nobody questions. An aborted generation stops the polling too.

* feat(modelartifacts): support bounded parallel Hugging Face file downloads

Closes #11114.

Snapshot materialization fetched every file through the sequential
executor in DownloadFilesWithContext, so a repository split into many
shards spent most of its wall clock in per-file request latency rather
than moving bytes.

Add DownloadFilesWithConcurrency, an errgroup with SetLimit, and keep
DownloadFilesWithContext as a wrapper that passes a limit of 1. That
leaves the two non-artifact callers (core/gallery and the model config
loader) on exactly the path they had: tasks still run in slice order,
and the first failure still returns before any later task starts.

Only whole files run in parallel. A single file is never split, so the
.partial resume machinery and the per-file SHA check in
downloadTaskWithRetry are untouched.

Two details the parallel path forced:

- completedBytes becomes an atomic.Int64. Several AfterDownload hooks
  add to it while other files' progress callbacks read it; without this
  the race detector reports three races on the new specs.
- The caller's status callback is serialized. The sequential path gave
  it an implicit guarantee of never being entered twice at once, and it
  belongs to the caller, so the executor keeps that promise rather than
  pushing locking onto every caller. AfterDownload is deliberately not
  serialized -- it does the verify-and-promote work that parallelism
  exists to overlap.

Manifest order needed no work: each hook already writes its own
manifest.Files slot by snapshot index, so entries stay in snapshot
order whatever the completion order. A spec now pins that.

The default is 1, unchanged behaviour. A shared models volume is often
the bottleneck rather than the link, so raising it is a deployment
decision; --artifact-download-concurrency and
LOCALAI_ARTIFACT_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY expose it on both `run` and
`models install`.

Not done here, per the issue: no chunk-level parallelism within a single
file, and no throughput measurements across concurrency 1/2/4/8 -- that
needs a representative sharded repo and a real link.

* feat(modelartifacts): expose download concurrency in settings

Follow-up to review feedback on #11162:

- The CLI flag and docs no longer describe the limit as Hugging Face
  specific. It applies to any artifact source, as @mudler pointed out.
- artifact_download_concurrency is now a persisted runtime setting and
  is editable from the WebUI, so it can be changed without a restart.

The manager's limit becomes an atomic.Int64 behind
SetDownloadConcurrency, because a live runtime setting can be updated
while a materialization is already in flight. Injected materializers
stay compatible through an optional setter interface, so a manager that
does not implement it is simply left alone.

Verified before taking this on: go build, go vet and go test -race all
pass for pkg/modelartifacts, pkg/downloader and core/config. The React
UI builds with vite, artifact_download_concurrency is present in the
built Settings chunk, and eslint reports the same 8 pre-existing
warnings on Settings.jsx as it does without the change.

Implementation contributed by localai-org-maint-bot on the review
thread; reviewed, verified and signed off by me.
