86a7f6c9fa ci: close GC race + cascade-skip + darwin grpc gaps from v4.2.1 (#9781)
* ci: close the GC race + cascade-skip + darwin grpc gaps from v4.2.1

v4.2.1's backend.yml run (#25701862853) exposed three independent issues
on top of the singletons fix shipped in ea001995. Address all three plus
two related cleanups:

1. quay GC race in backend-merge-jobs-multiarch (12/37 merges failed with
   "manifest not found"). Even after PR #9746 split multi/single-arch
   merges, the multiarch matrix itself takes ~2h to drain at
   max-parallel: 8, and the earliest per-arch digests (push-by-digest,
   no tag) get reaped by quay's GC before the merge runs. The split
   bounded the race for multiarch; it doesn't eliminate it. Anchor each
   per-arch digest immediately to a tag in the internal ci-cache image
   (`keepalive-<run_id><tag-suffix>-<platform-tag>`). Quay won't GC
   tagged manifests. backend_merge.yml deletes the keepalive tags via
   quay REST API after publishing the user-facing manifest list.
   Cleanup is best-effort: if the quay token is not OAuth-scoped the
   merge does NOT fail, the orphan tags just persist.

2. cascade-skip on backend-merge-jobs-singlearch. v4.2.1 had 2 failed
   and 2 cancelled singlearch builds (out of 199); GHA's default
   `needs:` semantics cascade-skipped the entire singlearch merge
   matrix, so zero singleton tags were applied even though 197
   singletons built successfully. Wrap the merge `if:` in
   `!cancelled() && ...` for both multi and single arch in backend.yml
   and backend_pr.yml so partial build failures publish the successful
   tag-suffixes.

3. Darwin llama-cpp grpc-server build fails with `find_package(absl)`
   not found. Same shape as the ccache/blake3/fmt/hiredis/xxhash/zstd
   fix already in `Dependencies`: a brew cache hit restores
   `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/grpc` so `brew install grpc` no-ops, but
   abseil isn't in our Cellar cache list and never gets installed
   alongside, leaving grpc's CMake unable to resolve it. Mirror the
   `brew reinstall ccache` line with `brew reinstall grpc` to
   re-validate grpc's full transitive dep closure on every cache-hit
   run.

4. Move the four heaviest CUDA cpp builds back to bigger-runner. v4.2.1
   wall-clock: -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-llama-cpp 5h36m,
   -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-turboquant 6h05m,
   -gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-llama-cpp 5h37m,
   -gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-turboquant 6h05m. The cuda-12 turboquant and
   cuda-13 turboquant entries are over GHA's 6h job timeout. Phase 5.3
   of the free-tier migration (PR #9730) had explicitly flagged this
   batch as 'highest-risk' with a per-entry revert path. All other
   matrix entries (vulkan-llama-cpp ~47m, ROCm hipblas-llama-cpp ~2h,
   intel sycl-f32 ~1h49m) stay on free-tier ubuntu-latest.

Verified locally: all six edited workflow YAMLs parse cleanly. Real
verification has to come from the next tag release run.

* ci: extract keepalive anchor + cleanup into .github/scripts/

The two inline shell blocks from the previous commit are long enough to
hurt readability of the workflow YAML and benefit from their own files
with self-contained docs. Move them to .github/scripts/:

  anchor-digest-in-cache.sh    backend_build.yml's keepalive anchor
  cleanup-keepalive-tags.sh    backend_merge.yml's best-effort cleanup

Workflow steps reduce to a single `run:` invocation each, with all the
parameter plumbing handled by env vars on the step. backend_merge.yml
also gains a sparse `actions/checkout@v6` step (sparse to .github/scripts
only) so the cleanup script is available on the runner — backend_build
already checks out for the docker build.

Net workflow diff: -36 lines across the two files. Script logic and
behavior are byte-identical to the inline version.

d892e4af80 feat: add ds4 backend (DeepSeek V4 Flash) with tool calls, thinking, KV cache (#9758)
* test(e2e-backends): allow BACKEND_BINARY for native-built backends

Adds an escape hatch for hardware-gated backends (e.g. ds4) where the
model is too large for Docker build context. When BACKEND_BINARY points
at a run.sh produced by 'make -C backend/cpp/<name> package', the suite
skips docker image extraction and drives the binary directly.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* test(e2e-backends): validate BACKEND_BINARY basename + log actual source

Two follow-ups from the cbcf5148 code review:

- BACKEND_BINARY now requires a path whose basename is `run.sh`. Without
  this check, `filepath.Dir(binary)` silently discarded the filename, so
  pointing the env var at an arbitrary binary failed later with a
  confusing assertion that named a path the user never typed.
- The "Testing image=..." debug line printed an empty string when the
  binary path was used, hiding the actual source in CI logs. The line
  now reports whichever of BACKEND_IMAGE / BACKEND_BINARY is in effect
  as `src=...`.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): add backend Makefile

when BUILD_TYPE=cublas, Metal on Darwin, otherwise CPU debug path), then
invokes CMake on our wrapper.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): add CMakeLists for grpc-server

Generates protoc stubs from backend.proto, links grpc-server.cpp +
dsml_parser.cpp + dsml_renderer.cpp + kv_cache.cpp against pre-built
ds4 engine .o files. DS4_GPU=cuda|metal|cpu selects the backend.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): grpc-server skeleton + module stubs

The minimum that links: Backend service with Health + Free; other RPCs
default to UNIMPLEMENTED. Stub headers/sources for dsml_parser,
dsml_renderer, and kv_cache are in place so CMake links cleanly even
before those modules ship.

Opens engine + creates session sized to ContextSize (default 32768).
Backend is compile-time: CPU when DS4_NO_GPU, Metal on __APPLE__, else
CUDA. MTP/speculative options are accepted via ModelOptions.Options[]

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): add DSML streaming parser

Classifies raw model-emitted token text into CONTENT / REASONING /
TOOL_START / TOOL_ARGS / TOOL_END events. Markers it watches for are the
literal DSML strings rendered by ds4_server.c's prompt template
(<|DSML|tool_calls>, <|DSML|invoke name=...>, <think>, etc.) - these are
plain text the model emits, not special tokens.

Partial markers split across token chunks are buffered until a full marker
or a definitively-not-a-marker '<' is observed. RandomToolId() generates
the API-side tool call id (call_xxx) that exact-replay would key on.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): split hex escapes in DSML markers + add cstring/cstdio includes

C++ \x hex escapes have no length cap. '\x9cD' was read as a single escape
producing byte 0xCD, eating the 'D'. The markers were never actually matching
the DSML text the model emits. Split each escape with adjacent string literal
concatenation so the byte sequence is exactly EF BD 9C 44 (|D) at runtime.

Also adds <cstring> and <cstdio> includes (libstdc++ 13 does not transitively
expose std::strlen / std::snprintf via <string>).

The local plan file (uncommitted) was also updated with the same fixes so
Task 16's dsml_renderer.cpp does not re-introduce the bug.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): wire DsmlParser into Predict (ChatDelta)

Non-streaming Predict now emits one ChatDelta carrying content,
reasoning_content, and tool_calls[] parsed from the model's DSML output.
Reply.message still carries the raw model bytes for backends that prefer
the regex fallback path.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): wire DsmlParser into PredictStream

Per-token ChatDelta writes: content/reasoning_content go incrementally,

(pkg/functions/chat_deltas.go) reassembles them.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): chat template + reasoning_effort mapping

UseTokenizerTemplate=true + Messages -> ds4_chat_begin / append /
assistant_prefix. PredictOptions.Metadata['enable_thinking'] and
['reasoning_effort'] map to ds4_think_mode (DS4_THINK_HIGH default;
'max'/'xhigh' -> DS4_THINK_MAX; disabled -> DS4_THINK_NONE).

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): render assistant tool_calls + tool results to DSML

Closes the round-trip: when an OpenAI client sends a multi-turn chat
where prior turns contain tool_calls or role=tool messages, build_prompt
serializes them back to the DSML shape the model was trained on. Mirrors
ds4_server.c's prompt renderer; uses nlohmann::json for parsing the
OpenAI tool_calls payload.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): disk KV cache module

Dir-based cache keyed by SHA1(rendered prompt prefix). File format:
'DS4G' magic + version + ctx_size + prefix_len + prefix + payload_bytes
+ ds4_session_save_payload output. NOT bit-compatible with ds4-server's
KVC files - that interop is a follow-up plan. LoadLongestPrefix walks
the dir picking the longest stored prefix that prefixes the incoming
prompt.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): wire KvCache into Predict/PredictStream

LoadModel reads 'kv_cache_dir' from ModelOptions.Options[], passes it to
g_kv_cache.SetDir. Each Predict/PredictStream computes a render text for
the request, tries LoadLongestPrefix to recover state, then Saves the
new state after generation. ds4_session_sync handles the live-cache
fast path internally, so the disk cache only matters for cold-starts
and cross-session reuse.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): add package.sh

Linux: bundles libc + ld + libstdc++ + libgomp + GPU runtime libs into
package/lib so the FROM scratch image boots without a host libc.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): rename namespace ds4_backend -> ds4cpp

ds4.h defines 'typedef enum {...} ds4_backend' which collides with our
C++ 'namespace ds4_backend' anywhere a TU includes both. kv_cache.h
includes ds4.h directly and surfaces the conflict immediately; other
TUs would hit it once gRPC dev headers are available.

Renames the C++ namespace to ds4cpp across all wrapper files and the
plan, leaving the upstream ds4 typedef untouched.

Adds core/gallery/importers/ds4.go which matches on the antirez/deepseek-v4-gguf
repo URI and the DeepSeek-V4-Flash-*.gguf filename pattern. Registered before
LlamaCPPImporter so ds4 weights route to backend: ds4 instead of falling
through to llama-cpp.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): pass UBUNTU_VERSION + arch env vars to install-base-deps

The .docker/install-base-deps.sh script needs UBUNTU_VERSION (defaults to
2404), TARGETARCH, SKIP_DRIVERS, and APT_MIRROR/APT_PORTS_MIRROR exported
into the environment so it can pick the right cuda-keyring / cudss / nvpl
debs and apt mirrors. Dockerfile.ds4 was declaring some of the ARGs but not
re-exporting them via ENV. Mirrors Dockerfile.llama-cpp's pattern.

Without this fix 'make docker-build-ds4 BUILD_TYPE=cublas CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=13'

Adds metal-ds4 + metal-ds4-development image entries pointing at
quay.io/go-skynet/local-ai-backends:{latest,master}-metal-darwin-arm64-ds4
(built by scripts/build/ds4-darwin.sh on macOS arm64 runners), plus the
'metal' and 'metal-darwin-arm64' capability mappings on the ds4 meta and
ds4-development variant.

Closes a gap from the initial Task 23 landing - the Darwin Metal build
script and CI workflow step were already wired (Tasks 24-25), but the
gallery had no image entry for users to install the Metal variant.

* fix(ci): use ubuntu:24.04 base for ds4 cuda13 matrix entries

The initial Task 22 matrix landing used base-image: 'nvidia/cuda:13.0.0-devel-ubuntu24.04'
which clashes with install-base-deps.sh's cuda-keyring step:

  E: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source
     https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2404/sbsa/

The canonical pattern (llama-cpp, ik-llama-cpp, turboquant) uses plain
'ubuntu:24.04' + 'skip-drivers: false' so install-base-deps installs CUDA
from scratch via its own keyring setup. Adopting that here.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): drop install-base-deps.sh dependency

The .docker/install-base-deps.sh pipeline is built around the llama-cpp
needs: NVIDIA keyring + cuda-toolkit apt + gRPC-from-source build at
/opt/grpc. For ds4 we don't need any of that:
- CUDA: nvidia/cuda:13.0.0-devel-ubuntu24.04 ships /usr/local/cuda
  ready to go; install-base-deps's keyring step then conflicts with
  the pre-installed Signed-By.
- gRPC: ds4's grpc-server.cpp only links against grpc++; system
  libgrpc++-dev (apt) is sufficient, no source build needed.

Replaced the install-base-deps invocation in Dockerfile.ds4 with a
direct 'apt-get install libgrpc++-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler-grpc
nlohmann-json3-dev cmake build-essential pkg-config git'. Matrix entries
back to nvidia/cuda base + skip-drivers=true so install-base-deps would
no-op even if some downstream tooling calls it.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): correct proto accessors + alias grpc::Status as GStatus

Two compile bugs caught by the docker build:

1. proto::Message uses snake_case accessors. The build_prompt loop called
   m.toolcalls() / m.toolcallid() - the protoc-generated names are
   m.tool_calls() / m.tool_call_id(). Plan-text bug propagated to the
   wrapper.

2. The Status RPC method shadowed the 'using grpc::Status' alias, so any
   later method declaration using Status as a return type failed to parse
   ('Status does not name a type' starting at LoadModel). Solution: alias
   grpc::Status as GStatus instead, with no 'using' clause that would
   conflict. All RPC method declarations and return-statement constructions
   now use GStatus.

Pre-existing code reviewer flagged the Status-shadow concern as 'minor'
in the original Task 10 commit; it turned out to be a real compile blocker
under libstdc++ 13 once the surrounding methods were filled in.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): preserve TOOL_ARGS content in dsml_parser Flush

When the model emitted a parameter value that arrived in the same buffer
as the surrounding tool_call markers (e.g. the buffered tail after a
literal '</think>' opened the model output), the parser deferred all
buffered bytes to Flush() because looks_like_prefix() always returns
true while buf starts with '<'. Flush() then drained the buffer as
plain CONTENT/REASONING regardless of parser state, so the bytes
between the parameter open and close markers were classified as
CONTENT instead of TOOL_ARGS.

Symptom: the model emitted

  <|DSML|parameter name="location" string="true">Paris, France</|DSML|parameter>

and the assembled tool_call arguments came out as {"location":""} -
the opener and closer were emitted into the args stream but the
"Paris, France" content went to the assistant message instead.

Fix:

1. Flush() now uses the same state-aware emit logic as DrainPlain:
   PARAM_VALUE bytes become TOOL_ARGS (json-escaped when string),
   THINK bytes become REASONING, TEXT bytes become CONTENT, and
   INVOKE / TOOL_CALLS structural whitespace is discarded.

2. looks_like_prefix() restricts its leading-'<' fallback to buffers
   that have not yet seen a '>'. Without that change, char-by-char
   feeds would discard the '<' of '<|DSML|invoke name="..."' once
   the marker prefix length was reached but the closing quote/'>'
   were still in flight.

Verified with a standalone harness that runs the failing input three
ways (single Feed, split-after-'>', and char-by-char) and aggregates
TOOL_ARGS for tool index 0: all three now produce
{"location":"Paris, France"}.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): use ds4_session_sync + manual generation loop for KV persistence

ds4_engine_generate_argmax() is a self-contained helper that doesn't take or
update a ds4_session - it manages its own internal state. Our Predict and
PredictStream methods created g_session via ds4_session_create() but then
called ds4_engine_generate_argmax(), so g_session's KV state never advanced.
ds4_session_payload_bytes(g_session) returned 0 and the disk KV cache save
correctly rejected with 'session has no valid checkpoint to save'.

Switch both RPCs to the proper session API:
  ds4_session_sync(g_session, &prompt, ...)
  loop:
    int token = ds4_session_argmax(g_session)
    if token == eos: break
    emit(token)
    ds4_session_eval(g_session, token, ...)

After the loop the session has a real checkpoint and ds4_session_save_payload
writes the KV state to disk. Verified end-to-end on a DGX Spark GB10: three
.kv files (15-30 MB each) are written when BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS sets
kv_cache_dir, and the e2e tool-call assertion still passes.

Also added stderr diagnostics to KvCache (enabled/disabled at SetDir; per-save
path + payload_bytes + result) so future failures are visible instead of
silent. The 'wrote ok' lines are low-volume - one per Predict/PredictStream
when the cache is enabled - and skipped entirely when the option is unset.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): use ds4_session_eval_speculative_argmax when MTP loaded

Wires MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) speculative decoding into the manual
generation loop in both Predict and PredictStream. When the upstream MTP
weights are loaded via 'mtp_path:' option AND we're on CUDA / Metal,
ds4_engine_mtp_draft_tokens() returns >0 and we switch the inner loop to
ds4_session_eval_speculative_argmax(), which can accept N>1 tokens per
verifier step. When MTP is not loaded (no option, CPU backend, or weights
absent), we fall through to the simple ds4_session_argmax + ds4_session_eval
path with no behavior change.

Validated on a DGX Spark GB10 with the optional MTP GGUF
(DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MTP-Q4K-Q8_0-F32.gguf, ~3.6 GB). LoadModel logs
'ds4: MTP support model loaded ... (draft=2)' on stderr.

Caveat per upstream README: 'currently provides at most a slight speedup,
not a meaningful generation-speed win'. Wired now mainly to track the
upstream API; bigger speedups arrive when ds4 improves the speculative path.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): honor PredictOptions sampling with DSML-aware override

Mirrors ds4_server.c:7102-7115 sampling-policy semantics on the LocalAI
gRPC side. The generation loop now consults compute_sample_params() per
token to pick the effective (temperature, top_k, top_p, min_p), based on:

  1. Request defaults: PredictOptions.temperature / .topk / .topp / .minp
  2. Thinking-mode override: when enable_thinking != false, force T=1.0,
     top_k=0, top_p=1.0, min_p=0.0 (creativity for the reasoning pass and
     the trailing content)
  3. DSML structural override: when DsmlParser::IsInDsmlStructural()
     returns true (we are between tool-call markers but NOT in a param
     value payload), force T=0.0 so protocol bytes parse cleanly

When the effective temperature is 0, we keep using ds4_session_argmax +
MTP speculative path (matches ds4-server's gate that only enables MTP for
greedy positions). When > 0, we call ds4_session_sample(s, T, ...) with
a per-thread RNG seeded from system_clock and fall back to single-token
ds4_session_eval.

New public method on DsmlParser: IsInDsmlStructural() encodes which states
need protocol-byte determinism. PARAM_VALUE is excluded (payload uses user
sampling); TEXT and THINK are excluded (no tool-call context to protect).

Verified on the DGX Spark GB10: the e2e suite still passes with all 5
specs including tools, and the Predict output now varies between runs
(creative sampling active) while the tool-call args remain a clean
'{"location":"Paris, France"}' because the parser-state check forces
greedy on the structural bytes.

UX note: thinking mode is ON by default (matching ds4-server). Users who
want deterministic output should set Metadata.enable_thinking = false.

* feat(gallery): add sha256 to deepseek-v4-flash-q2 entry

Per HF LFS metadata for antirez/deepseek-v4-gguf:
  size: 86720111200 bytes (~80.76 GiB)
  sha256: 31598c67c8b8744d3bcebcd19aa62253c6dc43cef3b8adf9f593656c9e86fd8c

LocalAI's downloader verifies sha256 when present, so users who install
deepseek-v4-flash-q2 from the gallery get integrity-checked weights and
the partial-download issue (an 81 GB file is easy to truncate) becomes
recoverable instead of silently producing a broken backend.

  dyld[11144]: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/fmt/lib/libfmt.12.dylib
    Referenced from: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ccache/4.13.5/bin/ccache
  Abort trap: 6

Previous fix (commit 3f6e4934) added blake3, hiredis, xxhash, zstd as
explicit installs + cache paths because ccache's runtime dep closure
wasn't in the brew cache. But ccache 4.13 also depends on fmt — which
I missed. This is going to keep happening as upstream ccache adds or
shuffles deps over time.

Durable fix: `brew reinstall ccache` after the install step forces
brew to re-resolve and install ccache's full transitive dep closure
every run, immune to future formula changes. The brew downloads cache
makes the reinstall cheap (~5s on a cache hit).

Also adds fmt to the explicit install/link/Cellar-cache lists for the
fresh-runner path. The reinstall covers the cache-hit path; the
explicit install covers the brand-new-runner path where neither the
downloads cache nor the Cellar cache has been populated yet.

Caught by PR #9752's CI; would also have caught any future
LLAMA_VERSION bump triggering the Darwin matrix.

3f6e493439 ci(darwin): install ccache's runtime dylib deps (blake3, hiredis, xxhash, zstd)
Symptom (run 25634195866, job 75244019809): the Configure ccache step
on the Darwin llama-cpp build aborted with:

  dyld[5647]: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/blake3/lib/libblake3.0.dylib
    Referenced from: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ccache/4.13.5/bin/ccache
  Abort trap: 6

The previous Darwin fix (acc5588d) addressed missing /opt/homebrew/bin
symlinks after a brew cache restore by force-linking. This is a
different layer: ccache's Cellar dir IS restored from cache and IS
linked, but ccache 4.13 dynamically links against blake3 / hiredis /
xxhash / zstd at runtime, and those dependencies are NOT in the
restored Cellar paths. brew install ccache sees the ccache Cellar
present and skips the install — including skipping installation of
those transitive deps.

Two-part fix:
  - Add /opt/homebrew/Cellar/{blake3,hiredis,xxhash,zstd} to the brew
    cache restore/save paths so future cache-hit runs restore them.
  - Explicitly install + link them in the Dependencies step so even
    a fresh runner (cache miss on a new key) gets them, and brew has
    them on hand for ccache to dlopen.

Caught by run 25634195866. Pre-existing condition on Darwin runners;
surfaced because Darwin builds run more often after the llama-cpp-
darwin consolidation in #9731.

acc5588d2c ci(darwin): force-link brew formulas after cache restore
Symptom: `ccache: command not found` in the Configure ccache step on
runs that hit the brew cache.

Root cause: actions/cache restores /opt/homebrew/Cellar/<formula> but
NOT the bin symlinks at /opt/homebrew/bin/*. The subsequent
`brew install` sees the Cellar entries present and decides "already
installed" — without re-running the link step. So on cache-hit runs
none of the cached formulas are actually on PATH.

Fix: explicit `brew link --overwrite` for every formula we install,
right after `brew install`. --overwrite tolerates leftover symlinks
from a partial earlier install. The 2>/dev/null + || true keeps the
step from failing if a formula is already correctly linked.

Pre-existing flake; surfaces more often as Darwin matrix coverage
grows after the llama-cpp-darwin consolidation in #9731.

733c254b32 ci: consolidate llama-cpp-darwin into the matrix-driven Darwin flow (#9731)
The bespoke llama-cpp-darwin + llama-cpp-darwin-publish top-level jobs
in backend.yml ran unconditionally on every backend.yml trigger
(push/cron), bypassing the path filter that all 34 other Darwin
backends already honor via backend-jobs-darwin -> backend_build_darwin.yml.

Move llama-cpp into the includeDarwin matrix:
- New entry in .github/backend-matrix.yml (lang=go, no build-type).
- backend_build_darwin.yml gains an `if: inputs.backend == 'llama-cpp'`
  build step that drives `make backends/llama-cpp-darwin`. The bespoke
  script (scripts/build/llama-cpp-darwin.sh) compiles three CMake
  variants from backend/cpp/llama-cpp and bundles dylibs via otool, so
  it doesn't fit the build-darwin-go-backend mold; the existing
  llama-cpp-aware ccache setup blocks already in this workflow are
  what motivated the consolidation in the first place.
- scripts/changed-backends.js's inferBackendPathDarwin gains a special
  case so llama-cpp on Darwin maps to backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ (the C++
  source tree) rather than the non-existent backend/go/llama-cpp/.
- Bumps Darwin go-version from 1.24.x -> 1.25.x in backend.yml and
  backend_pr.yml so llama-cpp keeps the Go toolchain it had under the
  bespoke job; the other 34 Darwin backends pick this up too with no
  known reason to pin 1.24.
- Removes ~80 lines of bespoke YAML from backend.yml.

The publish path is unchanged in shape - every Darwin backend now uses
the same crane-push leg from ubuntu-latest in
backend_build_darwin.yml; only the build target differs per backend.

After this commit, llama-cpp-darwin only rebuilds when
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ is touched (verified locally) - same behavior
as every other Darwin backend.

9a7f5e68bd ci(darwin): add native caches to backend_build_darwin
macOS runners can't use the registry-backed BuildKit cache (no Docker
daemon), so every darwin matrix run was paying full cost for brew
installs, Go module downloads, llama.cpp recompiles and Python wheel
resolution.

Wires actions/cache@v4 into the reusable workflow for four caches:

- Go modules + build cache (setup-go cache: true), shared across matrix
- Homebrew downloads + selected /opt/homebrew/Cellar entries, with
  HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE so restored Cellar paths stay stable
- ccache for the llama-cpp CMake variants, keyed on the pinned
  LLAMA_VERSION; CMAKE_*_COMPILER_LAUNCHER is exported via GITHUB_ENV
  so backend/cpp/llama-cpp/Makefile picks it up without script changes
- Python uv + pip wheel cache, keyed by backend + ISO week — same
  one-cold-rebuild-per-week cadence as the Linux DEPS_REFRESH

Read/write semantics match the existing BuildKit policy: every run
restores, only master/tag pushes save, so PRs can't pollute master's
warm cache.

Documents the new caches and the macOS-specific constraints in
.agents/ci-caching.md.
