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 ed461cd86c test(distributed): prove phase 3 end to end, under real processes
Five cluster specs that run the binaries an operator runs, plus the repair
of eighteen specs phase 2 left red.

The eighteen were router_tracking and full_flow, failing since 1cf847f29 on
"reported backend installed but named no address for the process". Two
contracts had changed under them: an install reply that names no
worker-local address is refused rather than substituted, and a frontend with
no worker dialer reaches no backend at all. Nobody noticed for a phase
because phase 2 verified with --label-filter='Cluster', which excludes both
suites. ServeBackendLifecycle and tunnelBackendClients state both facts once
for every spec.

The transport double is the part that matters. It translates a refused
connect into cluster.ErrStreamTargetUnavailable, which is what a real worker
answers when its backend process has died and what IsWorkerAnswer lets a
reap guard act on. A bare ECONNREFUSED reaches those guards as "no route" and
reaps nothing, so a double returning the raw syscall error could never fail
the way production fails; putting it back reddens the stale-record spec and
nothing else.

The new specs cover: a backend worker with no bus URL in its /proc environ
registering, being scheduled onto and serving inference; a backend install
and a backend listing driven through the replica that does NOT own the
worker, with the owner read through the production Owner query and re-read
after; that install's progress proven to arrive before its terminal reply,
made deterministic by a gallery server that holds the worker's fetch open so
a reply cannot exist yet; a worker whose tunnel is genuinely gone, waited for
rather than assumed, losing nothing inside the reconnect grace and re-homing
after; a heartbeating worker with a permanently dead tunnel losing its
healthy status while an agent worker in the same cluster keeps it; and the
suite's negative control, where a control RPC to a tunnel-less worker fails
naming the missing route, reaps nothing, and succeeds the moment the tunnel
returns.

Every scenario was attacked. The churn one was WRONG on the first attempt
and only the attack found it: its hold window sat entirely inside
cluster.InstanceLiveness, so a killed replica still read as a live owner
throughout, presence was "connected", and the spec passed with the reconnect
grace set to a nanosecond. It now blocks the tunnel before the kill and waits
for the ownership row to actually empty. Attacks that redden the rest:
posting at the owner, writing the install reply before the work, collapsing
PresenceReconnecting into PresenceGone, removing the non-backend node-type
guard, and not blocking the tunnel. Agent workers turn out to be protected
twice over; no single mutation reaches them.

Harness: Options.AgentWorkers and Options.ReconnectGrace, WorkerEnviron
(read from /proc, because Cmd.Env is the harness agreeing with itself),
NatsURL, FrontendBackendsDir, AgentWorkerName, PostJSON, and a node String()
so a failing roster assertion is readable instead of several hundred bytes
rendered as numbers.

Budget: 20 specs at 787 to 808 seconds over three runs, up from phase 2's 591
to 612. --timeout goes to 30m so a loaded runner reports a cause rather than
a spec name.

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 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.

in a typed sentinel so the manager above can distinguish "worker hung"
from "worker still working" and leave the pending_backend_ops row in
place for the reconciler to confirm via backend.list.

* feat(distributed): treat NATS install timeout as in-progress, not failure

When a worker times out replying to backend.install but the install is
still running on the worker, enqueueAndDrainBackendOp now reports a
running_on_worker status and pushes NextRetryAt out by the install
timeout so the reconciler does not immediately re-fire another install
while the worker is still pulling the image. The pending_backend_ops
row stays in place for the next reconciler pass to confirm via
backend.list.

InstallBackend wraps the result in galleryop.ErrWorkerStillInstalling
so callers can branch (galleryop renders yellow in-progress instead of
red error). UpgradeBackend uses the same wrap.

Adds RemoteUnloaderAdapter.InstallTimeout() so the manager can push
NextRetryAt by the configured timeout without reaching into a private
field, and NodeRegistry.RecordPendingBackendOpInFlight as the soft
cousin of RecordPendingBackendOpFailure.

Also includes incidental gofmt-driven struct-field alignment in
registry.go on lines unrelated to the change (touched files are
re-formatted to canonical form per project policy).

* fix(distributed): don't increment Attempts on in-flight install timeout

An in-flight timeout (worker still pulling the OCI image) is not a

genuinely-progressing slow installs (e.g. 30 GB CUDA images on Wi-Fi)
trip the reconciler's maxPendingBackendOpAttempts cap and dead-letter
the queue row while the worker was still legitimately working.

RecordPendingBackendOpInFlight now only updates LastError and NextRetryAt.

BackendInstallRequest gains an optional OpID field so the worker knows

* feat(distributed): worker publishes debounced install progress over NATS

When BackendInstallRequest.OpID is set, the worker's backend.install
handler wires a debounced publisher (250ms window) into the gallery
download callback. Each tick becomes a BackendInstallProgressEvent on
nodes.<nodeID>.backend.install.<opID>.progress; the publisher always
emits a final event on Flush so the UI sees the terminal percentage.

Old masters that do not set OpID continue to run silent installs: no
behavior change for them. Lock ordering: the publisher releases its
mutex before calling messaging.Publish so a slow network never stalls
the install loop.

* feat(distributed): RemoteUnloaderAdapter subscribes to install progress

InstallBackend gains opID + onProgress parameters. When both are set,
the adapter subscribes to nodes.<nodeID>.backend.install.<opID>.progress
BEFORE publishing the install request, decodes each message into the
caller's onProgress callback in a goroutine (so a slow callback never
stalls the NATS reader thread), and unsubscribes after RequestJSON
returns.

When onProgress is nil OR opID is empty (the reconciler retry path),
subscription is skipped entirely - silent installs cost nothing extra.

Subscribe failure is logged at Warn and the install proceeds without
progress streaming; the NATS round-trip still owns terminal status.

* feat(distributed): forward backend install progress into galleryop OpStatus

DistributedBackendManager.InstallBackend now passes the gallery op ID
and a progress bridge into the adapter call. Each
BackendInstallProgressEvent from the worker becomes a
galleryop.ProgressCallback tick - which the existing backendHandler
already turns into OpStatus.UpdateStatus, so the admin UI/SSE polling
sees per-byte progress for distributed installs without any UI-side
change.

UpgradeBackend is intentionally left silent for now: its wire request
(BackendUpgradeRequest) does not carry OpID, and rolling-update
fallback is the rarer path. Will be picked up in a follow-up if the
worker upgrade path also gets a progress channel.

A worker on pre-Phase-2 code never publishes progress events. The new

* feat(galleryop): add NodeProgress + OpStatus.Nodes for per-node breakdown

Adds the data model the UI needs to render an expandable per-node

identity (ID + name), per-node status (queued / running_on_worker /
success / error / downloading), the current file + bytes + percentage
from the Phase 2 progress stream, and any per-node error.

OpStatus.Nodes is the slice the /api/operations handler will surface

* feat(galleryop): UpdateNodeProgress merges per-node ticks by NodeID

GalleryService.UpdateNodeProgress(opID, nodeID, np) merges a NodeProgress

DownloadedFileSize / TotalFileSize fields so the legacy single-bar
OperationsBar view keeps working unchanged alongside the new per-node
breakdown.

* feat(distributed): write per-node OpStatus entries during install fan-out

DistributedBackendManager now accepts a nodeProgressSink and feeds it
two streams:

1. enqueueAndDrainBackendOp emits a per-node terminal entry on each
   status it appends to BackendOpResult (queued, success, error,
   running_on_worker). The opID is threaded through the function so
   the sink gets the right gallery op identity.

2. The install apply closure fans each BackendInstallProgressEvent
   into the sink as a downloading entry, alongside the legacy
   progressCb path so the aggregate single-bar view stays correct.

Production wiring passes the GalleryService (which implements
UpdateNodeProgress via Task 2) as the sink. Single-node tests pass
nil. DeleteBackend and UpgradeBackend pass an empty opID so the
sink path no-ops for ops that aren't gallery-tracked the same way
as Install.

* feat(operations): expose per-node breakdown on /api/operations

When an operation's OpStatus has Nodes entries (populated by the
Phase 4 progress sink wiring), surface them as a "nodes" array on the
/api/operations response, sorted by node_name for stable rendering.

Backward compatible: legacy clients ignore the field; ops without any
node entries (single-node mode, model installs) omit the array entirely
thanks to the empty-slice guard.

* feat(ui): per-node breakdown in OperationsBar

When an install op fans out to more than one worker, the operations
bar now shows a "N nodes" chevron that expands into a per-node list.
Each row carries the node's status (color-coded pill), the current
file being downloaded, byte counts, percentage, and a thin per-node
progress bar. Yellow "Worker busy" pill marks running_on_worker
status with a tooltip explaining the NATS round-trip timed out but
the worker is still installing in the background.

Backward compatible: ops without a nodes field (legacy or single-node
mode) render as before. State for expand/collapse is local to the
component, keyed by jobID/id - reload starts collapsed.

* fix(galleryop): UpdateStatus preserves Nodes when caller sends none

Real-world bug surfaced by the Phase 4 multi-worker smoke test: the
nodes[] array in /api/operations flickered between a single node at a
time on a 2-worker install. Root cause: the Phase 2 progress bridge
also calls the legacy progressCb -> UpdateStatus(&OpStatus{...}) on
every tick. UpdateStatus then overwrote the entire status pointer,
wiping the Nodes slice that UpdateNodeProgress had just merged in.

Fix: in UpdateStatus, if the incoming op has an empty Nodes slice,
carry forward the previous status's Nodes before storing. Callers
that explicitly populate Nodes still win (their slice replaces the
prior one, no merge across the two code paths).

Two regression specs added pinning both directions of the contract.

- /api/operations polling cadence
- "pre-2026-05-22" version references

chevron, status pills, "Worker busy" tooltip). Implementation context
lives in the agent notes and code comments.

* refactor(config): move DistributedConfig.Validate flag names to constants

The negative-duration check map was a wall of literal kebab-case
strings that had to stay in sync with the kong-derived CLI flag names
manually. Move them to a Flag* const block alongside the existing
Default* block so a rename of either the Go field or the CLI naming
convention forces a compile error rather than silent drift.

Sole consumer today is Validate; the constants are exported so future
operator-facing surfaces (e.g. error messages on other validation
paths) can reference them by name instead of repeating the literals.

Tests pin both the literal values (so a future "let's just rename
this" doesn't accidentally regress the CLI flag) and the negative-
duration error message for the new BackendInstall / BackendUpgrade
fields.

* refactor(distributed): extract NodeStatus and Phase enums to constants

Sweep for the same literal-string-as-identifier pattern called out on
the Validate flag names: the per-node install status enum
("queued" | "downloading" | "running_on_worker" | "success" | "error")
appeared as raw literals across managers_distributed.go (10+ sites,
including 3 separate `n.Status == "running_on_worker"` checks),
operation.go, and the test suite. Same shape for the Phase enum
("resolving" | "downloading" | "extracting" | "starting") in the
worker-side progress publisher.

Promote both to exported const blocks:

- galleryop.NodeStatus{Queued,Downloading,RunningOnWorker,Success,Error}
  shared between galleryop.NodeProgress.Status (the wire field) and
  nodes.NodeOpStatus.Status (the in-process per-node summary)
- messaging.Phase{Resolving,Downloading,Extracting,Starting}
  shared between the worker publisher and any future consumer that
  needs to switch on phase

Tests pin both the literal values (so a future "let's just rename" doesn't
silently change the JSON wire) and use the constants in setup (so the
producer side stays drift-protected). Wire-format assertions on the
/api/operations JSON output keep their literals deliberately, so the
constant value can never silently diverge from what the UI receives.

Out of scope for this PR (separate cleanup): the finetune and
quantization job-status enums have the same anti-pattern with 14+
literal sites each, but predate this PR's work.

* feat(whisper): add abort_callback hook in the C++ bridge

Installs a std::atomic<int> flag, wires it into
whisper_full_params.abort_callback, and exposes a set_abort(int) C

context. transcribe() now distinguishes abort (return 2) from real
whisper_full failure (return 1).

A watcher goroutine watches ctx.Done() during AudioTranscription and
calls CppSetAbort(1) on cancel. whisper_full sees abort_callback return
true at the next compute graph step, returns non-zero, and the bridge
returns 2 -> AudioTranscription maps that to codes.Canceled.

Adds an opt-in test (gated on WHISPER_MODEL_PATH / WHISPER_AUDIO_PATH)

resets cleanly so the next transcription succeeds.

* fix(whisper): join the cancel watcher goroutine before returning

Follow-up to 85edf9d2. The previous commit used `defer close(done)` and
called the watcher "joined synchronously" — but close() only signals,
it does not block until the goroutine exits. That left a window where
a late CppSetAbort(1) from a cancelled call could land on the next
call, after its C-side g_abort reset but before whisper_full() began
polling the abort callback, corrupting the second transcription.

Switch to a sync.WaitGroup join so wg.Wait() blocks until the watcher
has actually returned from its select.

If ctx is already Done() at entry, return codes.Canceled immediately
instead of running the full transcription. The C-side g_abort reset

watcher-set abort flag from an already-cancelled ctx, producing a
spurious successful transcription on a request the client has already
abandoned.

caught it: *testLLM did not implement grpc.AIModel because the method
signature lacked the ctx parameter, which broke the distributed test

Project policy (.agents/coding-style.md, enforced by golangci-lint

stdlib testing patterns (t.Skip, t.Fatalf, etc.). Convert the
cancellation test to a Describe/It block with Skip(...) for env

Same coverage: cancel mid-flight returns codes.Canceled within 5s and
a follow-up transcription succeeds, proving the C-side g_abort flag

Ettore Di Giacinto 6b63b47f61 feat(distributed): support multiple replicas of one model on the same node (#9583)
* feat(distributed): support multiple replicas of one model on the same node

The distributed scheduler implicitly assumed `(node_id, model_name)` was
unique, but the schema didn't enforce it and the worker keyed all gRPC
processes by model name alone. With `MinReplicas=2` against a single
worker, the reconciler "scaled up" every 30s but the registry never
advanced past 1 row — the worker re-loaded the model in-place every tick
until VRAM fragmented and the gRPC process died.

This change introduces multi-replica-per-node as a first-class concept,
with capacity-aware scheduling, a circuit breaker, and VRAM
soft-reservation. Operators can declare per-node capacity via the worker
flag `--max-replicas-per-model` (mirrored as auto-label
`node.replica-slots=N`) or override per-node from the UI.

* Schema: BackendNode gains MaxReplicasPerModel (default 1) and
  ReservedVRAM. NodeModel gains ReplicaIndex (composite with node_id +
  model_name). ModelSchedulingConfig gains UnsatisfiableUntil/Ticks for
  the reconciler circuit breaker.

* Registry: replica_index threaded through SetNodeModel, RemoveNodeModel,
  IncrementInFlight, DecrementInFlight, TouchNodeModel, GetNodeModel,
  SetNodeModelLoadInfo and the InFlightTrackingClient. New helpers:
  CountReplicasOnNode, NextFreeReplicaIndex (with ErrNoFreeSlot),
  RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas, FindNodesWithFreeSlot,
  ClusterCapacityForModel, ReserveVRAM/ReleaseVRAM (atomic UPDATE with
  ErrInsufficientVRAM), and the unsatisfiable-flag CRUD.

* Worker: processKey now `<modelID>#<replicaIndex>` so concurrent loads
  of the same model land on distinct ports. Adds CLI flag
  --max-replicas-per-model (env LOCALAI_MAX_REPLICAS_PER_MODEL, default 1)
  and emits the auto-label.

* Router: scheduleNewModel filters candidates by free slot, allocates the
  replica index, and soft-reserves VRAM before installing the backend.
  evictLRUAndFreeNode now deletes the targeted row by ID instead of all
  replicas of the model on the node — fixes a latent bug where evicting
  one replica orphaned its siblings.

* Reconciler: caps scale-up at ClusterCapacityForModel so a misconfig
  (MinReplicas > capacity) doesn't loop forever. After 3 consecutive
  ticks of capacity==0 it sets UnsatisfiableUntil for a 5m cooldown and
  emits a warning. ClearAllUnsatisfiable fires from Register,
  ApproveNode, SetNodeLabel(s), RemoveNodeLabel and
  UpdateMaxReplicasPerModel so a new node joining or label changes wake
  the reconciler immediately. scaleDownIdle removes highest-replica-index
  first to keep slots compact.

* Heartbeat resets reserved_vram to 0 — worker is the source of truth
  for actual free VRAM; the reservation is only for the in-tick race
  window between two scheduling decisions.

* Probe path (reconciler.probeLoadedModels and health.doCheckAll) now
  pass the row's replica_index to RemoveNodeModel so an unreachable
  replica doesn't orphan healthy siblings.

* Admin override: PUT /api/nodes/:id/max-replicas-per-model sets a
  sticky override (preserved across worker re-registration). DELETE
  clears the override so the worker's flag applies again on next
  register. Required because Kong defaults the worker flag to 1, so
  every worker restart would have silently reverted the UI value.

* React UI: always-visible slot badge on the node row (muted at default
  1, accented when >1); inline editor in the expanded drawer with
  pencil-to-edit, Save/Cancel, Esc/Enter, "(override)" indicator when
  the value is admin-set, and a "Reset" button to hand control back to
  the worker. Soft confirm when shrinking the cap below the count of
  loaded replicas. Scheduling rules table gets an "Unsatisfiable until
  HH:MM" status badge surfacing the cooldown.

* node.replica-slots filtered out of the labels strip on the row to
  avoid duplicating the slot badge.

23 new Ginkgo specs (registry, reconciler, inflight, health) cover:
multi-replica row independence, RemoveNodeModel of one replica
preserving siblings, NextFreeReplicaIndex slot allocation including
ErrNoFreeSlot, capacity-gated scale-up with circuit breaker tripping
and recovery on Register, scheduleDownIdle ordering, ClusterCapacity
math, ReserveVRAM admission gating, Heartbeat reset, override survival
across worker re-registration, and ResetMaxReplicasPerModel handing
control back. Plus 8 stdlib tests for the worker processKey / CLI /
auto-label.

Closes the flap reproduced on Qwen3.6-35B against the nvidia-thor
worker (single 128 GiB node, MinReplicas=2): the reconciler now caps
the scale-up at the cluster's actual capacity instead of looping.

* refactor(react-ui/nodes): tighten capacity editor copy + adopt ActionMenu for row actions

* Capacity editor hint trimmed from operator-doc-style ("Sourced from
  the worker's `--max-replicas-per-model` flag. Changing it here makes it
  a sticky admin override that survives worker restarts." → "Saved
  values stick across worker restarts.") and the override-state copy
  similarly compressed. The full mechanic is no longer needed in the UI
  — the override pill carries the meaning and the docs cover the rest.

* Node row actions migrated from an inline cluster of icon buttons
  (Drain / Resume / Trash) to the kebab ActionMenu used by /manage for
  per-row model actions, so dense Nodes tables stay clean. Approve
  stays as a prominent primary button — it's a stateful admission gate,
  not a routine action, and elevating it matches how /manage surfaces
  install-time decisions outside the menu.

* The expanded drawer's Labels section now filters node.replica-slots
  out of the editable label list. The label is owned by the Capacity
  editor above; surfacing it again as an editable label invited
  confusion (the Capacity save would clobber any direct edit).

Both backend and agent workers benefit — they share the row rendering
path, so the action menu and label filter apply to both.

* fix(react-ui/nodes): suppress slot badge on agent workers

Agent workers don't load models, so the per-node replica capacity is
inapplicable to them. Showing "1× slots" on agent rows was a tiny
inconsistency from the unified rendering path — gate the badge on
node_type !== 'agent' so it only appears on backend workers.

* refactor(react-ui/nodes): distill expanded drawer + restyle scheduling form

The expanded node drawer used to stack five panels — slot badge,
filled capacity box, Loaded Models h4+empty-state, Installed Backends
h4+empty-state, Labels h4+chips+form — making routine inspections feel
like a control panel. The scheduling rule form wrapped its mode toggle
as two 50%-width filled buttons that competed visually with the actual
primary action.

* Drawer: collapse three rarely-touched config zones (Capacity,
  Backends, Labels) into one `<details>` "Manage" disclosure (closed by
  default) with small uppercase eyebrow labels for each zone instead of
  parallel h4 sub-headings. Loaded Models stays as the at-a-glance
  headline with a single-line empty hint instead of a boxed empty state.
  CapacityEditor renders flat (no filled background) — the Manage
  disclosure provides framing.

* Scheduling form: replace the chunky 50%-width button-tabs with the
  project's existing `.segmented` control (icon + label, sized to
  content). Mode hint becomes a single tied line below. Fields stack
  vertically with helper text under inputs and a hairline divider above
  the right-aligned Save / Cancel.

The empty drawer collapses from ~5 stacked sections (~280px tall) to
two lines (~80px). The scheduling form now reads as a designed dialog
instead of raw building blocks. Both surfaces now match the typographic
density and weight of the rest of the admin pages.

* feat(react-ui/nodes): replace scheduling form's model picker with searchable combobox

The native <select> made operators scroll through every gallery entry to
find a model name. The project already has SearchableModelSelect (used
in Studio/Talk/etc.) which combines free-text search with the gallery
list and accepts typed model names that aren't installed yet — useful
for pre-staging a scheduling rule before the node it'll run on has
finished bootstrapping.

Also drops the now-unused useModels import (the combobox manages the
gallery hook internally).

* refactor(react-ui/nodes): consolidate key/value chip editor + add replica preset chips

The Nodes page was rendering the same key=value chip pattern in two
places with subtly different markup: the Labels editor in the expanded
drawer and (post-distill) the Node Selector input in the scheduling
form. The form's input was also a comma-separated string that operators
were getting wrong.

* Extract <KeyValueChips> as a fully controlled chip-builder. Parent
  owns the map and decides what onAdd/onRemove does — form state for the
  scheduling form, API calls for the live drawer Labels editor. Same
  visuals everywhere; one component to change when polish needs apply.

* Replace the comma-separated Node Selector text input with KeyValueChips.
  Operators were copying syntax from docs and missing commas; the chip
  vocabulary makes the key=value structure self-documenting.

* Add <ReplicaInput>: numeric input + quick-pick preset chips for Min/Max
  replicas. Picked over a slider because replica counts are exact specs
  derived from VRAM math (operator decision, not a fuzzy estimate). The
  chips give one-click access to common values (1/2/3/4 for Min,
  0=no-limit/2/4/8 for Max) without the slider's special-value problem
  (MaxReplicas=0 is categorical, not a position on a continuum).

* Drop the now-unused labelInputs state in the Nodes page (the inline
  label editor's per-node draft state lived there and is now owned by
  KeyValueChips).

* test: fix CI fallout from multi-replica refactor (e2e/distributed + playwright)

Two breakages caught by CI that didn't surface in the local run:

* tests/e2e/distributed/*.go — multiple files used the pre-PR2 registry
  signatures for SetNodeModel / IncrementInFlight / DecrementInFlight /
  RemoveNodeModel / TouchNodeModel / GetNodeModel / SetNodeModelLoadInfo
  and one stale adapter.InstallBackend call in node_lifecycle_test.go.
  All updated to pass replicaIndex=0 — these tests don't exercise
  multi-replica behavior, they just need to compile against the new
  signatures. The chip-builder tests in core/services/nodes/ already
  cover the multi-replica logic.

* core/http/react-ui/e2e/nodes-per-node-backend-actions.spec.js — the
  drawer's distill refactor moved Backends inside a "Manage" <details>
  disclosure that's collapsed by default. The test helper expanded the
  node row but never opened Manage, so the per-node backend table was
  never in the DOM. Helper now clicks `.node-manage > summary` after
  expanding the row.

All 100 playwright tests pass locally; tests/e2e/distributed compiles
clean.
