* feat: add PreferDevelopmentBackends setting, expose isMeta/isDevelopment in API
- Add PreferDevelopmentBackends config field, CLI flag, runtime setting
- Add IsDevelopment() method to GalleryBackend
- Use AvailableBackendsUnfiltered in UI API to show all backends
- Expose isMeta, isDevelopment, preferDevelopmentBackends in backend API response
* feat: upgrade banner with Upgrade All button, detect pre-existing backends
- Add upgrade banner on Backends page showing count and Upgrade All button
- Fix upgrade detection for backends installed before version tracking:
flag as upgradeable when gallery has a version but installed has none
- Fix OCI digest check to flag backends with no stored digest as upgradeable
* feat: add backend versioning data model foundation
Add Version, URI, and Digest fields to BackendMetadata for tracking
installed backend versions and enabling upgrade detection. Add Version
field to GalleryBackend. Add UpgradeAvailable/AvailableVersion fields
to SystemBackend. Implement GetImageDigest() for lightweight OCI digest
lookups via remote.Head. Record version, URI, and digest at install time
in InstallBackend() and propagate version through meta backends.
* feat: add backend upgrade detection and execution logic
Add CheckBackendUpgrades() to compare installed backend versions/digests
against gallery entries, and UpgradeBackend() to perform atomic upgrades
with backup-based rollback on failure. Includes Agent A's data model
changes (Version/URI/Digest fields, GetImageDigest).
* feat: add AutoUpgradeBackends config and runtime settings
Add configuration and runtime settings for backend auto-upgrade:
- RuntimeSettings field for dynamic config via API/JSON
- ApplicationConfig field, option func, and roundtrip conversion
- CLI flag with LOCALAI_AUTO_UPGRADE_BACKENDS env var
- Config file watcher support for runtime_settings.json
- Tests for ToRuntimeSettings, ApplyRuntimeSettings, and roundtrip
* feat(ui): add backend version display and upgrade support
- Add upgrade check/trigger API endpoints to config and api module
- Backends page: version badge, upgrade indicator, upgrade button
- Manage page: version in metadata, context-aware upgrade/reinstall button
- Settings page: auto-upgrade backends toggle
* feat: add upgrade checker service, API endpoints, and CLI command
- UpgradeChecker background service: checks every 6h, auto-upgrades when enabled
- API endpoints: GET /backends/upgrades, POST /backends/upgrades/check, POST /backends/upgrade/:name
- CLI: `localai backends upgrade` command, version display in `backends list`
- BackendManager interface: add UpgradeBackend and CheckUpgrades methods
- Wire upgrade op through GalleryService backend handler
- Distributed mode: fan-out upgrade to worker nodes via NATS
* fix: use advisory lock for upgrade checker in distributed mode
In distributed mode with multiple frontend instances, use PostgreSQL
advisory lock (KeyBackendUpgradeCheck) so only one instance runs
periodic upgrade checks and auto-upgrades. Prevents duplicate
upgrade operations across replicas.
Standalone mode is unchanged (simple ticker loop).
* test: add e2e tests for backend upgrade API
- Test GET /api/backends/upgrades returns 200 (even with no upgrade checker)
- Test POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name accepts request and returns job ID
- Test full upgrade flow: trigger upgrade via API, wait for job completion,
verify run.sh updated to v2 and metadata.json has version 2.0.0
- Test POST /api/backends/upgrades/check returns 200
- Fix nil check for applicationInstance in upgrade API routes

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
* feat: try to make the request sit and retry if eviction couldn't be done
Otherwise calls that in order to pass would need to shutdown other
backends would just fail.
In this way instead we make the request sit and retry eviction until it
succeeds. The thresholds can be configured by the user.
