mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto f1ff707b97 feat(addons): list and install backends from a library (#12816)
* feat(addons): add the add-on runtime, navigation and first-party add-ons

Add the add-on runtime to LocalAI: manifests, the host operation broker,
admin gating by account role, the add-on UI bundle builder and the SDK
for add-on pages. Move the navigation to Chat, Models, Add-ons and
Settings, with pinned add-ons in the sidebar and an Add-ons drawer.

Ship the first-party add-ons (voice, face, fine-tuning, quantization) as
packages for linux/amd64, linux/arm64 and darwin/arm64. Intel macOS
(darwin/amd64) is enabled in the platform files.

Squashed from the review branch. The tree is unchanged; the pre-squash
history is kept on a local backup branch.

* fix(gosec): tighten file modes and annotate false positives

Write job state, configs and imported models with mode 0600, clean
the paths that are read from disk, and mark the route tables, the
header name and the retry jitter as reviewed false positives.

* fix(addons): keep API keys off recovery mutations and same-site cookies

POST /api/addons/dispatch forwarded the recovery and update
mutations to the owner for any administrator key, which skipped the
browser-session rule of their own routes. Refuse those actions
there. Also apply the same-origin rule to the legacy token cookie,
not only the session cookie, because the global CSRF check lets
same-site requests through.

Do not fail the start of LocalAI when an add-on library cannot be
refreshed; log it and keep the installed add-ons up.

* fix(addons): refuse a reinstall that would migrate retained data unbacked

An upgrade takes a verified backup before the new package migrates
the data. A reinstall over retained data has no running generation
to stop, so the new package would migrate it without one. Refuse a
reinstall whose data format differs from the retained one.

* fix(addons): release the manager lock while a release is fetched

Submit held the state lock across the catalog lookup and the package
download, so the apps list and status reads stalled for the whole

* feat(ui): move settings under the operate hub

The Operate hub already has Settings as a tab, so the sidebar no longer shows a separate Settings entry. The /app/settings route stays, and the hub tab still reaches it. The navigation test now expects Chat, Models and Add-ons as the primary items.

* fix(addons): accept same-host browser requests that carry no fetch metadata

Browsers do not send Sec-Fetch-* headers over plain HTTP on an address
that is not localhost, so every add-on request from a LAN address was
refused as cross-site. Keep refusing a Sec-Fetch-Site value other than
same-origin. When the header is absent, accept the request only if its
Origin, or failing that its Referer, names the same host and port as
the request.

* fix(ui): show the server's reason when an add-on request is refused

A 403 or 400 answer showed a generic message and hid the reason in the
response body, so a refusal by the browser guard could not be told from
a missing permission. Show error.message from the body as the server
sent it, and keep the generic text when the body has none.

* feat(addons): run the add-on owner in the normal binary

The owner was only enabled when an embedding host set the add-on config,
so a normal run answered every add-on request as unavailable.

Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode
(default named-user, or local-owner; anything else stops startup).
The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the
carrier uses loopback keys made at each start and kept in memory.
--addons-enabled=false turns the owner off completely.

Named-user mode needs the account database. With authentication off
the owner stays off and a warning says how to use local-owner.

* fix(addons): keep the loopback owner address stable across restarts

The single-node loopback transport took a new ephemeral port at each
start. The owner stores its address in its identity file and refuses to
start when the address differs, so every start after the first failed
with "invalid addon owner configuration".

Choose the port once, keep it in the add-on state root (loopback-port,
mode 0600) and reuse it. If the port is taken at a later start, stop
with an error that names the port and --addons-enabled=false, because
another port would break the identity check. The keys and certificate
stay in memory.

* feat(addons): let add-on pages keep the host modules they were written against

A page written for the web UI imports React, the router, i18next and a
few shared components. The add-on builder refuses a bundle that holds a
host file, so moving such a page into an add-on meant rewriting it.

Add a compat mode to the shared builder. It answers those imports from a
directory of stand-ins that read the SDK, bundles the dynamic import of
the page code into the one output file, and collects the style sheets the
page imports. A relative import that is not in the add-on's own source
resolves to the file at the same path under the compat directory.

Widen the SDK for these pages, without a version change: more host
components (spinner, modal, lightbox, model picker) and hooks (models,
resources, voice profiles, operations, MCP client), a style on icons,
the icon names the pages draw, sdk.navigation.openApp to open a page of
the app (only addresses under /app, and the way back as the only state)
and sdk.portal. The shell passes the query string to the page.

The stand-ins cover the router (the tab in the path, the model in the
query), the translator over the host locale files, the core API calls
through sdk.core.fetch, and byte copies of the pure helpers, with tests
that keep the copies equal to the originals.

* feat(addons): ship Studio and Talk as add-ons instead of built-in pages

Studio and Talk were compiled into the web bundle and always listed in
the Add-ons drawer. They are add-ons now, like Voice, Face, fine-tuning
and quantization: a person installs and removes them, the drawer lists
them only while they are installed, and they are packaged the same way.

Move the pages, their components, hooks and helpers into addons/studio
and addons/talk. Each has a manifest, a UI bundle, a release platform
matrix and a catalog template, and is built by the compat mode of the
shared builder. The core API stays where it is: the pages call it with
the signed-in person's session. The history keeps its browser storage
keys. The unit tests of the moved helpers move with them.

In the core, drop the two pages, the Create group of the sidebar (Chat
joins Home and Models in the old layout), the built-in catalog entries
(the catalog is empty) and the talk locale namespace. The old addresses
(/app/studio, /app/talk and the generator links) redirect to the add-on
pages, with the model as ?model=. The Home /studio command is offered
only while the Studio add-on is installed and opens it.

The release workflow and its tests now list seven add-ons.

* test(ui): run the Studio and Talk specs against the add-on bundles

The pages are add-ons now, so a spec that draws one installs the real
built bundle first: the apps list names it and its module and style
sheet are served from the build output, the way the add-on owner serves
them. studio-addon.js holds that helper, and the Studio and Talk
fixtures call it.

Update the specs for the new addresses (/app/addons/studio/studio, the
model as ?model=), the session permission the add-on route needs, the
legacy redirects, the Home /studio command that appears only while the
add-on is installed, and the sidebar without a Create group.

Add specs for the add-ons themselves: every tab draws with no script
error, the shell titles the page once, the old addresses say so when the
add-on is not installed, a button of the page reaches a core page with
the way back, and the drawer lists both only after they are installed.

* fix(ui): centre the icon of a built-in tile in its icon box

The drawer drew the icon of a built-in tile (Studio's palette was one)
in a bare 40px box. Only the placeholder box was laid out as a centred
grid with the 20px size, so the real icon sat in the top-left corner at
the size of the page text.

Give the built-in tile the same classes as the placeholder box, and
check in a browser that the icon is centred.

Replace the built-in list (now empty) with the Studio and Talk add-on

seven packaged add-ons. Describe the SDK additions the pages use:
components, hooks, icons, openApp and portal. Say on the Studio page
that it is installed from the drawer.

* test(ui): click the shell title in the Studio slash-key spec

The persisted port file was read with a path built from the add-on

symbolic link, and require a regular file with no group or other

* test(ui): drive the media history and TTS specs through the Studio add-on

* feat(addons): register an official add-on library by default

Add gallery/addons/index.yaml, a YAML index of the four first-party
add-ons (fine-tuning, quantization, voice, face) in the library format.
The entries come from addonpkg catalog over locally built linux/amd64
packages, so the digests pin those images.

On the first start, when the owner has no sources.json, register the
raw GitHub URL of that index on master as the "official" library and
write the file. The file is then the record: a library the admin
removes stays removed, and an existing file is never changed.
--addons-official-library=false skips the default.

* feat(addons): make the Voice add-on one page with tabs

The Voice add-on had four pages: recognition, library, create and
speech, and the drawer listed two of them. It now has one page, "voice",
and one drawer entry. Recognition, Library, Text to speech and From a
recording are tabs of that page, drawn with the same tab strip the
recognition page already used. The tab is the first path segment
(voice/library), as in the Studio add-on, and the form that adds a voice
is a view of the Library tab (voice/library/new).

The old page names stay declared in the manifest. Each one redirects to
its tab and keeps the query string, so saved links still open.

* feat(ui): send the old voice routes to the Voice tabs

/app/voice, /app/voice-library and /app/voice-library/new now open the
matching tab of the Voice add-on page while the add-on is installed and
running, and the core pages otherwise. The moved-page helper compares
the first segment of the target with the declared pages, so a target

* test(ui): build the add-on bundles once for the whole run

Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist
directory, and the build empties that directory first. A worker that
started, or restarted after a failure, removed the files another worker

not be loaded". Build once in a global setup before the workers start.
A run without the setup still builds per worker.

* test(ui): register the worker when the add-node spec says so

The mocked roster added the worker on the third read of /api/nodes. The

load, so the page could take the new worker as part of the roster it
opened with and never show it as found. The worker now joins after the

was missing. The spec also built the Face bundle in a hook that every
worker runs, and a build rewrites the folder the other workers serve.

The global setup now builds Studio, Talk, Face and Fine-tuning once,

The spec asserts that the page shows no alert. The Home page raises its
own alert when the model list fails or a staging operation has failed,

failed install left there counted as an alert about the pin.

The spec now fixes both answers, so the alert count tells only about the

The "generic deletion blocks targeted install at confirmation" spec
dispatches a popstate to set the target node, then waits for a button
named Reinstall and clicks it. Until React renders the targeted page,
the page still draws the generic Reinstall button. It is enabled and has
the same name, so the wait passed on it, the click started a global
install, and no node install request was sent. The poll on the install
count timed out with the confirm dialog still open.

With the CPU throttled to 8x, the spec failed on 20 of 20 runs, and the
button it clicked had the title "Reinstall". The spec now waits for the
button titled "Reinstall on <node>". With the throttle it passes 30 of

The "a result made through a hand-off records which result it came from"

cold load: the page shows "Loading" until the add-on module has run, and
the next assertion had the default five seconds. The load takes about
two seconds on an idle run and seven to ten under CPU load, so the spec
failed on a loaded machine with the hand-off note not yet drawn.

With the CPU throttled to 6x and eight busy loops running, it failed on

* fix(addons): carry the identity page styles in the Face add-on

The Face page is drawn with the shared identity views, but its style sheet
held only the clip and error rules. The page, card, model list, known-faces
table, enrol sheet and distance scale classes had no rules. They looked
right only when the host had already loaded the style sheet of its own
Faces page, which a visit through the add-on drawer does not do. Opened
that way, the cards had no gap, the model list showed bullets, and the
install buttons ran into the names.

The rules for narrow screens (single-column pairs, smaller tool padding,

The pins come from GET /api/addons/pins through the navigation context, and the apps from the add-on registry, which the drawer feeds on every list read, so the links follow the drawer.

The test reads the redirected URL right after the path changes. The

* feat(addons): add a kind to library entries and read unknown kinds tolerantly

A library entry now has an optional kind: addon (the default when it is
absent), backend or model. Every index written before kinds existed stays
valid and its entries are add-ons.

A reader keeps the entries of the kinds it knows and skips the others
without reading their fields, so a newer kind never makes an older host
refuse the whole index. The refresh result and the library state report
how many entries were skipped and of which kinds, and the refresh logs a
warning. A kind that is not a plain kind name still makes the index
malformed. Search lists add-ons unless the caller asks for a kind, and
Resolve returns add-ons only, so an add-on install cannot be pointed at
a backend image.

A library policy may name the signer with an anchored identityRegex
instead of an exact identity, so builds from master and from tags both
verify. An add-on install refuses a policy that carries one.

* feat(backends): install a backend from a library entry

A library can now list backends. An entry of kind backend names the
image of the backend gallery by digest, and POST /backends/library/install
installs it on the local node. The gallery stays the source of truth and
its install path is the one used: the library resolves the entry, takes
the signature policy from the library, pins the image by digest and calls
the same install as the gallery. Installing a name that came from a
gallery, another library or by hand is refused and changes nothing.

The signature policy of a backend library names the signer with an
anchored identityRegex, so images signed by the merge workflow on master
and on tags both verify. A pattern that is not anchored is refused.

An install is bounded by a size limit per kind: add-ons keep 512 MiB and
a backend image defaults to 8 GiB, set with --addons-backend-max-bytes.
The limit reads the manifest after the signature check and before any
layer is fetched. The metadata of an installed backend records the
library it came from.

scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog renders entries from
backend/index.yaml and pins them against the registry. The pilot is the
CPU build of local-store, in gallery/backends/index.yaml. The library is
registered on the first start only with --addons-backend-library, which
is off by default.

* feat(ui): show the kind of library entries and install backends from them

The Browse tab lists the entries of every kind this host reads and marks
each one as an add-on or a backend. A backend installs through the
backend route and not through the add-on lifecycle: the confirmation
says that the backend gallery is not changed and that a backend runs
native code, and a refusal of the host, such as a name installed from
another origin, is shown with its own reason. The details give the kind,
the alias and the signer pattern.

The library editor can name the signer with a pattern. Without this a
save would drop the pattern of a backend library. The Libraries tab
reports the entries a refresh skipped because their kind is not read.

* feat(backends): report the steps of a library install as a job

A backend install from a library ran inside the request and showed
nothing until it ended. It is now a job of the gallery service, the
kind the backend gallery installs use. The request answers with the job
ID and GET /backends/jobs/{id} reports the step as the phase of the job:
resolving, verifying, size, fetching and writing, with the byte progress
of the fetch. A job that fails keeps the phase of the step that failed
and gives the reason. A second install of the same name is refused while
one runs.

The downloader and the gallery install report their stages through an
optional hook, so the steps are the real ones and not a guess. The
Browse tab lists the steps of the entry being installed, marks the one
that failed, and omits the signature step for a library that does not
require one.

The library installer also gets Updates and a route that lists the
installed library backends with a newer build in their library, for the
next change.

reinstall is not offered for a library backend, because the gallery does
not list it.

When the cached index of the library lists another build in the channel
of the installed version, the row says "Update available" and offers an
Update button. The button starts the same install as the Browse tab, and
the detail shows its steps. Nothing is upgraded on its own. The check
says nothing when the library no longer lists the installed version and
has several channels, instead of guessing one.

* feat(gallery): add the model library entry shape and its reader

A model library entry is the shared library envelope (kind, id, name,
version, description, license, urls, tags, icon, channel, policy,
schemaVersion) plus a model body: url, backend, size, files,
configFile, overrides, variants and promptTemplates. The envelope lives
in the catalog package so the other kinds can move to it.

A gallery entry converts to a library entry and back to the same
gallery entry. Floats are written so they read back as floats, and an
empty variants list stays distinct from an absent one, because both
occur in the real index.

The reader is strict: unknown fields, duplicate ids, a second document
and a flow-style list are refused. An entry of another kind is skipped
and reported, as in the add-on reader. The gallery index stays the
default and is not changed.

* feat(gallery): render the model library from the model gallery

scripts/models/cmd/modelcatalog reads gallery/index.yaml with the same
structs the host reads it with, converts every entry to a library entry
and back, and fails if any entry does not come back equal. It writes
gallery/models/index.yaml and the golden files for the tests. The
output is deterministic, and the gallery is only read.

The golden files are a digest pair for every entry (the gallery entry
and the library entry made from it) and a readable gallery and library
pair for each kind of entry: plain, with variants, with an empty
variants list, with a config file, with a size, with a backend, with
floats in the overrides, without a url, without files and with a
multiline description.

All 2212 entries of the index round trip. The gallery struct does not
read a few keys (last_checked, parameters and four stray capitalised
keys); the host drops them when it loads the index, so the library does
not carry them, and the command reports them.

* feat(gallery): add --model-index-source to read the model library

--model-index-source selects the file the host reads the models of the
official gallery from: gallery (the default) or library. With library
the gallery named localai reads the model library, from
--model-library-url or the file in the repository, and keeps its
configured name and URL on every entry. A gallery the owner added keeps
its own index, and add-on and backend galleries never take this path. A
library that cannot be fetched or read is an error and not a fall back
to the gallery, so the setting is never silent.

The tests round trip every entry of the real gallery index, compare it
with the golden files, check the rendered library file reads and agrees
with itself, and cover the strict reader, the kinds it skips, prompt
templates, number types, empty lists and the setting.

* feat(cli): add local-ai library to manage library sources

local-ai library has list, add, remove, enable and disable. It works on
the source store the server reads (addons/sources.json under the data
path), so it also works with the server stopped. A source has a kind
(addon, backend or model); the store records whether it is a shipped
default, and removing a default leaves a tombstone so it does not come
back at the next start.

The shipped model and backend gallery indexes are default sources next
to the official add-on library. Defaults are added at every start when
they have no record yet, and an existing file that holds no default is
left alone as before.

The --model-index-source and --model-library-url flags are removed: a
model library is added as a model source, and the gallery entry says it
is a library.

* feat(addons): let a source of your own win an entry over a default

source the user added wins over a shipped default, and the default is
ignored for that entry. When two sources the user added list it, search
and resolve are refused with an error that names the entry and both
sources, and nothing is picked silently. Among shipped defaults nothing
changes.

The tests cover a user source over a default, a tie between two user
sources, a default ignored once a user source wins, and the case where
disabling a source ends the conflict.

* feat(cli): map the gallery flags to library sources at startup

--galleries and --backend-galleries keep loading the same JSON. At
startup each entry they name also becomes a source the user owns, of
kind model or backend, so local-ai library list shows it. The mapping is
additive: an entry whose kind and URL is already a source (a shipped
default, one added with the CLI, or one mapped at an earlier start) is
not added twice, and a derived id never collides with another source.

The sources then decide which galleries the server reads: a gallery
whose source is disabled or removed is left out, and a model library or
gallery added with local-ai library add is added. A list set by the flags
still replaces the shipped defaults. If the store cannot be opened, the
galleries stay as the flags set them. The autoload switches are not
touched.

* refactor(library): use id for every kind and seed the default libraries

The backend entries of the library used addonId while the model
entries use id. Release now has the field ID, written as id for every
kind. ReadIndex reads addonId as a legacy alias for one release, for
add-ons and backends, and refuses an entry that holds both names. The
backend index and the catalog generator write id.

The shipped libraries are default sources. The pilot backend library is
now on by default, like the official add-on library, and the model
library is a new default model source, official-models. The server
reads it next to the localai gallery. A source the user removed stays
removed, and a source the user adds is added to the defaults.

The model catalog header held a backtick that ended its raw string, so
the generator did not build. The header no longer has it.

* feat(library): choose the default model source by build

A build read both the localai gallery and the official-models library
by default, so every model was listed twice. Now a build reads one of
them. library.ModelSource names it: "library" or "gallery". The model
source that is not chosen is still shipped, as a disabled default, and
local-ai library enable turns it on.

The value is a Go variable set at link time with -ldflags, because the
same source tree makes both kinds of build and a constant would need a
commit to change. It is "library" in the source, so a build from
master, go build and go test read the library. Only the exact value
"gallery" selects the gallery, so a mistyped value cannot leave a build
without a model source.

The Makefile sets it from LOCALAI_MODEL_SOURCE. When that is not set, a
commit that carries a tag gets "gallery" and any other commit gets
"library". .goreleaser.yaml passes the same variable and defaults to
"gallery". The release workflow sets it to "library" on a tag, which is
the cutover.

A default source is seeded once, so a data directory that an earlier
build seeded keeps its enabled flags. Switch it with local-ai library
enable and disable.

Tests assert the master default, the tagged default before the cutover
and after it, and that a mistyped value reads the library. The model
library header now says that CI checks it and when a build reads it.

* ci(library): check the model library and cut over on tag

No workflow checked gallery/models/index.yaml, so it could go stale
when gallery/index.yaml changed. A new workflow, model-library.yml, runs
on pull requests and on master when the gallery, the library, the
generator or core/gallery change. It runs the generator tests and the
library shape tests (the file decodes, it has the library shape, every
real entry round trips), then renders the library again from
gallery/index.yaml and fails on any difference with git diff
--exit-code. The error message gives the command that fixes it.

release.yaml gets the cutover. On a tag, a step sets
LOCALAI_MODEL_SOURCE=library before GoReleaser runs, and
.goreleaser.yaml links it into the binary. Without that step a tagged
build reads the gallery. The step is the one place to remove when the
gallery is retired.

* feat(library): make the model library the source of the gallery

The library, gallery/models/index.yaml, was rendered from the gallery.
Now it is the source and models are edited there. modelcatalog reads
the library and writes gallery/index.yaml, a generated copy that stays
only so releases before the cutover keep working.

The gallery file is written in the shape the host reads: the same
field order, floats such as 1.0 keep their form, and an empty variants
list stays apart from an absent one. The command converts every
library entry to a gallery entry and back, loads its own output the way
the host does, and fails when an entry comes back different.

The gallery copy drops what the library cannot carry: last_checked,
parameters and four capitalised keys (Base Model, Context Length,
License, Training Data). The gallery struct has no field for any of
them, so the host ignored them on load. Every run lists these keys and
how often the file being replaced still had each. Loading the old and
the new gallery with the host structs gives equal entries for all
2212 models.

The tests that read the library and the golden files follow in the
next commit.

* ci(library): check the library and that the gallery is its copy

The model-library workflow assumed the gallery was the source. It now
checks the library file, the new source. The library decodes, every
entry has the library shape, every entry converts to a gallery entry
and back, and the gallery reader loads the generated gallery and sees
the same names, file uris and digests. The workflow then generates
gallery/index.yaml again and fails on any diff with git diff
--exit-code. The message says the file is generated, not to edit it by
hand, and gives the command that regenerates it.

The tests in core/gallery read the library file now. The round trip
runs library to gallery and back on all 2212 real entries, a new test
compares the checked-in gallery with the generated copy so go test finds
a hand edit too, and the golden digests and samples are written from
the library. The version of an entry is no longer compared with a digest
of its content, since an edit to the library does not change it.

The docs say the library is the source, the gallery file is a generated
copy for releases before the cutover, and edits go to the library. The
agent guide for adding models says the same.

* feat(library): add admin routes for library sources and an official libraries switch

The library sources of the add-on, backend and model kinds had a CLI
but no HTTP routes. Add them for administrators, on the same store and
the same functions as `local-ai library`, so the two cannot drift:

  GET    /api/library/sources
  POST   /api/library/sources
  POST   /api/library/sources/{id}/enable
  POST   /api/library/sources/{id}/disable
  DELETE /api/library/sources/{id}

The list carries kind, default, removed (a tombstone), suspended and the
conflict message of a source that clashes with another one. A change to
a model or backend source applies to the running server. A deleted
source drops its gallery by address; a removed default keeps its record.

Add the runtime setting official_libraries (default on), with the flag
--official-libraries. When it is off, every shipped default source of
the three kinds is suspended: it is not read, stays in the store marked
default, and comes back when the setting is on again. Sources the user

kind filter with counts, a Default badge, the state of each source
(enabled, disabled, removed, or off while the official libraries are
off), turn on and off, a Restore button for a removed default, and the
conflict message next to a source that clashes. Adding a source takes a
kind and, for backends and models, an index format.

Settings gets the toggle "Use official libraries" for the
official_libraries setting.

Add unit tests for the list and the kind filter, and a Playwright spec
that runs on a fresh test server started with --library-sources (its own
config, port 8097): it lists the three kinds, adds a model source,
disables and removes a default, checks the conflict message and the
official libraries toggle.

* feat(library): extend the backend body to carry what the gallery carries

The backend library entry only held an image and its digest. The backend
gallery holds more that matters at install and in the UI, so the library
could not replace it. Add the missing fields to the backend kind and keep
the strict reader.

New fields, all refused on an add-on entry:

- mirrors: ordered fallback images of the same backend, each oci://.
  The install pins them with the digest of the artifact.
- capabilities: a map from a host capability to a backend id. An entry
  with capabilities and no artifact is a meta backend. It has no digest,
  os or arch, is listed for every platform, and installing it installs the
  backend its capability names, in the same library and channel.
- license, urls, tags: display metadata, bounded and checked as text.
- icon: an https URL. The add-on ui.icon stays a path in the package. The
  host never fetches the icon.
- mutable: the artifact is a moving tag, such as a development image. The
  entry has no digest. The install resolves the tag to a digest, verifies
  that image and records the digest it installed.
- schemaVersion: the envelope version. A higher one is refused.

The index bounds grow to 8 MiB and 4000 entries, because the backend
library lists every image for every platform. Release now holds lists, so
the add-on staging compares it with Equal instead of ==.

* feat(library): render the backend library from the whole backend gallery

Add the conversion between a gallery backend and its library entries in
core/gallery, and make scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog build the
library from the gallery and the gallery from the library.

The library now holds all 1093 gallery entries as 1088 backends, because
five names appear twice in the gallery with the same content and are
folded. That is 934 concrete backends and 154 meta backends, written as
1240 entries: a backend built for several platforms has one entry for
each, with the digest of that platform image.

- 539 release entries are pinned by the digest the registry serves for the
  platform.
- 543 development entries (master-* tags) keep their tag and are mutable.
  The install pins them.
- 4 release entries are not pinned, because the registry has no image for
  them: cpu-qdrant-store, metal-qdrant-store, cpu-gemxcpp and
  vulkan-gemxcpp. They are marked mutable and no digest is invented.
  Render them again with --repin once the images exist.

The generator can import a gallery once, pin the release images again, and
write the gallery file from the library without the network. Before it
writes it converts every backend to the library and back and fails if one
does not come back equal. A policy is no longer written on each entry,
because the host takes the policy of the library source.

* test(library): check that every backend gallery entry round trips

Prove that the backend library can replace the backend gallery. The golden
input is the real backend gallery from before the library became the
source: 1093 entries, kept under core/gallery/testdata/backend_library
with the pins the library holds and the digest of each generated entry.

TestBackendLibraryRoundTripsEveryRealGalleryEntry converts each entry to
library entries, writes them as an index, reads them as a host does,
validates them and converts them back. It asserts that all 1093 entries
come back equal on every field the gallery reader uses, and logs the
count. The five names that appear twice in the gallery have the same
content, so the twin is checked against the first one and folded.

The other tests check the library file in the repository: every entry
passes the host checks, every backend round trips, every meta backend
names concrete backends the library has, a development entry keeps its
master-* tag and has no digest, and the golden digests still match. Unit
tests cover each field, the fields the library cannot carry, which are
refused rather than dropped, and entries of one backend that disagree.

An entry with no artifact, digest, os or arch no longer writes them as
empty strings, so a meta backend and a mutable entry stay short.

* feat(library): make the backend library the source of the backend gallery

Flip the source the way the model library did. The backend library,
gallery/backends/index.yaml, is where backends are edited. The backend
gallery, backend/index.yaml, is now generated from it by
scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog and stays only so releases before the
cutover keep working. It no longer has anchors or hand-written order, and
it holds 1088 backends: the five names that were listed twice with the same
content are folded.

Which source a build reads is set at build time, like the model source:

- core/library.BackendSource is "library" or "gallery". Only the exact value
  "gallery" selects the gallery, so a mistyped value cannot leave a build
  with no backend source.
- A build from master reads the library. The Makefile reads the gallery for
  a commit that carries a tag (LOCALAI_BACKEND_SOURCE), and GoReleaser
  defaults to the gallery.
- A step in release.yaml sets LOCALAI_BACKEND_SOURCE=library, so a tagged
  build cuts over by itself.
- Both sources are shipped and one is enabled. With
  --addons-backend-library=false every build reads the gallery.

The server hands the shipped backend library to the gallery reader as a
library, so the Backends page lists it and installs from it the way it did
from the gallery. A backend library the user adds stays with the add-on
catalog. The shipped library is now a backend source, not an add-on one.

The new workflow backend-library.yml runs the tests, regenerates
backend/index.yaml and fails on a diff. It never reads the registry.
backendcatalog --add merges backends written in the gallery shape into the
library, so adding a backend does not mean writing platform entries by
hand; the agent guide says so.

  reads (master, tagged before the cutover, tagged after it), the
  --addons-backend-library switch, how to add a backend and generate the
  gallery, and what CI checks.
- addons.md: the full backend entry with the new fields (mirrors,
  capabilities, license, urls, tags, icon URL, mutable, schemaVersion),
  meta backends, development images pinned at install, and the backend
  library section in place of the pilot one.

feat(backends): --disable-backend-install refuses every backend acquisition

A hardening switch for deployments that must run exactly the backend set they
were tested with (production, air-gapped, immutable images, package-managed
hosts). With LOCALAI_DISABLE_BACKEND_INSTALL=1 every install and upgrade path
refuses — gallery, OCI/URL/path, node-scoped, auto-upgrade, boot-time external
backends — HTTP routes answer 403 up front, and a model whose backend is
missing is refused before any download: 409 on the API, an error on preload
and import. Whether a backend is present is asked of the execution target:
the local backend directory on a single node, the workers' listings on a
distributed frontend, which installs nothing itself. Backends already
present, including system-path ones, keep working.

Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode

The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the
carrier uses loopback keys made at each start and kept in memory.
--addons-enabled=false turns the owner off completely.

Named-user mode needs the account database. With authentication off

Choose the port once, keep it in the add-on state root (loopback-port,
mode 0600) and reuse it. If the port is taken at a later start, stop
with an error that names the port and --addons-enabled=false, because
another port would break the identity check. The keys and certificate
stay in memory.

* feat(addons): let add-on pages keep the host modules they were written against

A page written for the web UI imports React, the router, i18next and a
few shared components. The add-on builder refuses a bundle that holds a
host file, so moving such a page into an add-on meant rewriting it.

Add a compat mode to the shared builder. It answers those imports from a
directory of stand-ins that read the SDK, bundles the dynamic import of
the page code into the one output file, and collects the style sheets the
page imports. A relative import that is not in the add-on's own source
resolves to the file at the same path under the compat directory.

Widen the SDK for these pages, without a version change: more host
components (spinner, modal, lightbox, model picker) and hooks (models,
resources, voice profiles, operations, MCP client), a style on icons,
the icon names the pages draw, sdk.navigation.openApp to open a page of
the app (only addresses under /app, and the way back as the only state)
and sdk.portal. The shell passes the query string to the page.

The stand-ins cover the router (the tab in the path, the model in the
query), the translator over the host locale files, the core API calls
through sdk.core.fetch, and byte copies of the pure helpers, with tests
that keep the copies equal to the originals.

* feat(addons): ship Studio and Talk as add-ons instead of built-in pages

Studio and Talk were compiled into the web bundle and always listed in
the Add-ons drawer. They are add-ons now, like Voice, Face, fine-tuning
and quantization: a person installs and removes them, the drawer lists
them only while they are installed, and they are packaged the same way.

Move the pages, their components, hooks and helpers into addons/studio
and addons/talk. Each has a manifest, a UI bundle, a release platform
matrix and a catalog template, and is built by the compat mode of the
shared builder. The core API stays where it is: the pages call it with
the signed-in person's session. The history keeps its browser storage
keys. The unit tests of the moved helpers move with them.

In the core, drop the two pages, the Create group of the sidebar (Chat
joins Home and Models in the old layout), the built-in catalog entries
(the catalog is empty) and the talk locale namespace. The old addresses
(/app/studio, /app/talk and the generator links) redirect to the add-on
pages, with the model as ?model=. The Home /studio command is offered
only while the Studio add-on is installed and opens it.

* test(ui): run the Studio and Talk specs against the add-on bundles

The pages are add-ons now, so a spec that draws one installs the real

sheet are served from the build output, the way the add-on owner serves
them. studio-addon.js holds that helper, and the Studio and Talk
fixtures call it.

Update the specs for the new addresses (/app/addons/studio/studio, the
model as ?model=), the session permission the add-on route needs, the
legacy redirects, the Home /studio command that appears only while the
add-on is installed, and the sidebar without a Create group.

Add specs for the add-ons themselves: every tab draws with no script
error, the shell titles the page once, the old addresses say so when the
add-on is not installed, a button of the page reaches a core page with
the way back, and the drawer lists both only after they are installed.

is a view of the Library tab (voice/library/new).

Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist

* feat(addons): add a kind to library entries and read unknown kinds tolerantly

A library entry now has an optional kind: addon (the default when it is
absent), backend or model. Every index written before kinds existed stays
valid and its entries are add-ons.

A reader keeps the entries of the kinds it knows and skips the others
without reading their fields, so a newer kind never makes an older host
refuse the whole index. The refresh result and the library state report
how many entries were skipped and of which kinds, and the refresh logs a
warning. A kind that is not a plain kind name still makes the index
malformed. Search lists add-ons unless the caller asks for a kind, and
Resolve returns add-ons only, so an add-on install cannot be pointed at
a backend image.

A library policy may name the signer with an anchored identityRegex
instead of an exact identity, so builds from master and from tags both
verify. An add-on install refuses a policy that carries one.

* feat(backends): install a backend from a library entry

A library can now list backends. An entry of kind backend names the
image of the backend gallery by digest, and POST /backends/library/install
installs it on the local node. The gallery stays the source of truth and
its install path is the one used: the library resolves the entry, takes
the signature policy from the library, pins the image by digest and calls
the same install as the gallery. Installing a name that came from a
gallery, another library or by hand is refused and changes nothing.

The signature policy of a backend library names the signer with an
anchored identityRegex, so images signed by the merge workflow on master
and on tags both verify. A pattern that is not anchored is refused.

An install is bounded by a size limit per kind: add-ons keep 512 MiB and
a backend image defaults to 8 GiB, set with --addons-backend-max-bytes.
The limit reads the manifest after the signature check and before any
layer is fetched. The metadata of an installed backend records the
library it came from.

scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog renders entries from
backend/index.yaml and pins them against the registry. The pilot is the
CPU build of local-store, in gallery/backends/index.yaml. The library is
registered on the first start only with --addons-backend-library, which
is off by default.

* feat(ui): show the kind of library entries and install backends from them

The Browse tab lists the entries of every kind this host reads and marks
each one as an add-on or a backend. A backend installs through the
backend route and not through the add-on lifecycle: the confirmation
says that the backend gallery is not changed and that a backend runs
native code, and a refusal of the host, such as a name installed from
another origin, is shown with its own reason. The details give the kind,
the alias and the signer pattern.

The library editor can name the signer with a pattern. Without this a
save would drop the pattern of a backend library. The Libraries tab
reports the entries a refresh skipped because their kind is not read.

The chat keeps the ids that are on (addonToolIds) next to the older

means every add-on. The request sends addon_tools alone when every add-on is

mounts it draws its own title, including when it says it is not enabled
on this server, and the shell draws none. The shell code already works
this way; this change states the rule beside the unavailable state and
pins it in the specs.

The shell spec now expects exactly one title in the unavailable states.
The navigation spec checks the Face page without a face model (the
add-on title only) and the Face page of a stopped add-on (the shell
title only).

* feat(addons): upgrade add-ons on their own when the setting is on

A new auto_upgrade_addons setting (flag LOCALAI_AUTO_UPGRADE_ADDONS,
default off) lets the owner upgrade an installed add-on when its library
lists a newer version. It follows the backend setting: a startup flag, a
runtime setting, and the same schedule as the backend update check (a
first pass shortly after start, then every six hours).

Each pass fetches the library of every installed add-on, and for each
available update builds the same pinned upgrade command an administrator
sends and runs it through the same lifecycle path. The channel rules, the
signer identity, the digest checks, the SDK compatibility check and the
backup before the upgrade all apply unchanged. The only difference is the
gate: the owner acts on its own setting, so no administrator is asked.
A refused or failed upgrade changes nothing and is logged; a candidate
that failed is not retried until the library lists another digest.

With the setting off, nothing runs and upgrades stay manual.

* test(addons): cover the automatic upgrade setting and document it

The setting defaults to off in the config, the runtime settings and the

owner upgrades an installed add-on through the manager; with it off,
nothing changes, and a change of the setting at run time takes effect on
the next pass. The manager specs show the upgrade goes through the same
pinned path as the manual one, and that a corrupted package, a failed
signature policy, an incompatible release, a missing update checker and
a caller who is not an administrator each leave the installed version in
place. The new specs are added to the lifecycle case inventory.

The add-ons page describes the setting, its schedule and its default.

id, and every writer emits it: the index encoder, the package workflow
templates, the catalog generator and gallery/addons/index.yaml. The
digests in the index did not change.

DecodeIndex still reads addonId as a legacy alias for one release, so
an existing library and a library served by an older tool keep
working. An entry that holds both names is refused. The Apps UI reads
id and falls back to addonId.

Stefan Walczandlocalai-org-maint-bot d768f1f973 feat(pii): apply PII middleware to the Open Responses API (#12708)
* feat(pii): apply PII middleware to the Open Responses API

The per-model PII filter ran on /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions,
/v1/messages and the Ollama routes, but not on POST /v1/responses. A
model whose policy blocks or masks a secret on the chat route served the
same content unfiltered when it was sent through the Responses API.

Add a piiadapter.OpenResponses adapter and wire pii.RequestMiddleware
into the POST /v1/responses and /responses chain, after the model config
is resolved and merged and before the handler converts input items into
prompt messages. The adapter covers instructions, input as a string, and
in an input item array the text of message and reasoning items (string
content or input_text/output_text parts, including typeless
{role, content} items), function_call arguments and function_call_output
output; structured tool output is scanned as the JSON the handler
forwards. Image, file, audio and video parts are left untouched.

The Responses WebSocket mode (GET /v1/responses) is not HTTP middleware
and cannot filter, so a response.create for a model with PII filtering
enabled is now refused with pii_unsupported_transport instead of being
served unfiltered. The docs list the new route and this limit.

Tests: adapter specs for every covered field, each with a clean-text
counter-check; a route spec driving the real middleware chain with an
in-process pattern detector (block on string input, content part,
instructions and tool output; mask; clean input passes unchanged); and
WebSocket specs proving the refusal and that models without a PII
policy are still served.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto dce91ba7aa fix(backends): prefer installed development builds (#12782)
* fix(ci): capture and surface ginkgo errors in run-coverage.sh

The coverage script ran ginkgo per test root with `|| fail=1`, which
swallowed the exit code. Combined with `make --output-sync=target`,
which buffers all output and flushes at the end, the actual ginkgo
error was invisible in interleaved CI logs. Every test suite passed
but the script still exited 1, and the error message was buried in
22 000 lines of buffered output.

Each ginkgo invocation now captures combined stdout+stderr to a
per-root log file. On failure the last 80 lines are printed to
stderr so the error is visible in the CI log. On success the log is
replayed to stdout so test output remains visible.

The build flags (--tags, --coverpkg) are quoted correctly so values
containing spaces (e.g. --tags="debug auth") are preserved through
eval.

36307005a9 feat(chat-history): server-side chat history with tombstones (follow-up to #9902) (#12663)
* feat(schema): add Conversation schema for chat history (#9432)

Persist WebUI chat conversations server-side so browser refresh, private
windows, or device changes preserve user history (issue #9432). This
commit adds the on-disk representation:

- Conversation holds id, name, model, opaque history, MCP / sampling
  settings, and timestamps.
- ConversationsFile is the per-user list serialised to JSON.

History is stored as json.RawMessage so the server stays agnostic to
React message shapes (user / assistant / thinking / tool_call /
tool_result mixed with text / image_url / audio_url / file attachments).

* feat(chathistory): add file-based per-user conversation store (#9432)

File-backed persister for chat history. Each user's conversations live
under {baseDir}/{userID}/conversations.json (anonymous/ when auth is
disabled).

Design choices:
- In-memory cache backed by sync.Mutex so concurrent saves don't
  interleave writes.
- Atomic write via tmp file + os.Rename so a crash mid-save never
  leaves a corrupted history.
- ID validation regex blocks path-traversal payloads at the store
  boundary, in addition to the auth context constraint.

Tests cover round-trip persistence across instances, user isolation,
unsafe-ID rejection, bulk replace migration, and the anonymous fallback
path.

* feat(api): expose chat conversation CRUD endpoints (#9432)

Wire the chathistory store into the HTTP layer. New endpoints under
/api/conversations:

- GET    /api/conversations        list
- POST   /api/conversations        upsert (id in body)
- DELETE /api/conversations        delete all
- PUT    /api/conversations/bulk   replace entire set (localStorage migration)
- GET    /api/conversations/:id    fetch one
- PUT    /api/conversations/:id    upsert (id in path; path id wins over body)
- DELETE /api/conversations/:id    delete one

All endpoints scope queries to the authenticated user via getUserID(c)
- callers cannot impersonate other users by passing a user_id in the
body. The endpoints are gated behind the new chat_history feature
permission (default ON in APIFeatures), registered through the existing
RouteFeatureRegistry so the unified feature middleware picks them up
automatically.

Application.ChatHistoryStore() returns nil when DisableWebUI is set or
no persistence path is configured, in which case route registration is
skipped entirely rather than registering handlers that always 503.

Also adds the chat-history instruction entry and Swagger tag so the
endpoint surfaces in /api/instructions and /swagger.

* feat(react-ui): sync chat history to server with localStorage fallback (#9432)

useChat now probes /api/conversations on mount. When the endpoint
responds 200, the server becomes the authoritative source: the hook
merges remote conversations into local state and pushes per-chat PUT
updates on each debounced save. When the endpoint 404s - older LocalAI
deploys or the feature disabled - the hook silently keeps the old
localStorage-only behaviour, so the change is backward-compatible.

Migration: when the server is reachable but empty and the browser has
local conversations with history, the hook fires a single
PUT /api/conversations/bulk to seed the server. The atomic bulk endpoint
avoids partial-upload states where a retry would skip already-uploaded
entries.

Delete operations propagate to the server when it's available; failures
are silently swallowed so the local UI stays responsive on transient
network errors.

Restructured the same six scenarios into Describe / Context / It blocks,
with a chathistory_suite_test.go bootstrap that registers the Ginkgo
fail handler. Test coverage is unchanged: basic CRUD round-trip, cross-
instance persistence, user isolation, unsafe ID rejection (now via
DescribeTable), bulk replace overwrite, and the anonymous fallback
path.

* refactor(chathistory): switch store to GORM-backed authDB

Addresses mudler's review on #9902. Chat history was the only per-user
state in LocalAI sitting in a separate filesystem store instead of the
shared GORM database — AgentStore and JobStore both live there. Move
it onto Application.authDB so per-user state stays in one place.

* ConversationRecord (GORM model) with composite primary key
  (user_id, conv_id) — React mints IDs locally with no global
  coordination so per-user uniqueness is the natural shape.
* Store.New(db *gorm.DB) replaces Store.New(baseDir string).
  Save / Get / List / Delete / DeleteAll / ReplaceAll keep their
  signatures so HTTP handlers and the React UI are untouched.
* ReplaceAll runs in a transaction with an Unscoped() pre-clear so a
  future retention sweep cannot resurrect a stale ID on re-upload.
* gorm.DeletedAt in the schema means a future retention pruner is a
  one-line query — addresses the second half of the review (unbounded
  in-memory map). The map is gone: reads go straight to the DB.

Trade-off worth flagging in the PR reply: chat history persistence
now requires auth.Enabled = true (that's what initialises
Application.authDB). With auth disabled the React UI transparently
falls back to localStorage, the same path the original PR took on
404. Consistent with AgentStore / JobStore; if a "chat history
always on" mode is preferred we can pull DB init out of auth.InitDB
into a shared helper.

* test(chathistory): switch tests to testutil.SetupTestDB

CRUD round-trips. The previous file-based fixtures (TempDir,
filepath.Join checks) are no longer meaningful now that the store
talks GORM.

Tests are skipped on macOS (testcontainers needs Docker) and run on
CI, same as the other GORM-backed suites in the repo.

Also reframed two cases:
* "unsafe IDs" → "malformed IDs" — the DB-backed store doesn't care
  about path traversal, but idRegex still rejects whitespace /
  control characters so IDs stay safe in logs and HTTP responses.
* "anonymous user" no longer pins a directory path (no directory
  exists anymore); instead it checks the round-trip plus the
  per-user isolation guarantee.

* test(chathistory): cover the conversation HTTP handlers

The seven /api/conversations handlers had no tests. Inject the
*chathistory.Store into the handlers instead of the whole Application and
move the route table into RegisterChatHistoryRoutes, so a spec can drive
the real registration and middleware chain (auth.Middleware plus the
chat_history feature gate) against an in-memory SQLite auth database.

The new specs cover 401 without credentials on every route, 403 when an
admin revoked chat_history, the CRUD round trip, path id over body id,
400 on malformed ids and bodies, per-user isolation, bulk replace and
delete-all, and that a nil store registers nothing (the UI then falls
back to localStorage).

The handlers' nil-store branches are gone: the routes are only
registered with a store, so those branches could never run.

* fix(chathistory): make deletions final with tombstones and versions

A conversation deleted on one device came back as soon as a client with
a stale copy wrote it again: Delete soft-deleted the row, and the next
Save went through GORM's upsert, which cleared deleted_at and resurrected
it for every device. The lookup that recovered CreatedAt also ran outside
any transaction, so concurrent writers raced on it.

The server is now authoritative over deletions:

* Delete turns the row into a tombstone: content dropped, deleted_at
  set. It is idempotent, and deleting an id the server has not seen yet
  still records a tombstone, so a delete that overtakes the UI's
  in-flight debounced save of the same chat still wins.
* Save runs in a transaction, refuses a tombstoned id with ErrDeleted
  (HTTP 410 Gone), and bumps the version with a single
  UPDATE ... SET version = version + 1 guarded by deleted_at IS NULL,
  so concurrent writers each count and a delete committed between the
  lookup and the write still wins. Two concurrent first writes of the
  same id retry once (ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, then update).
* Every row carries a server-assigned version (1 on the first save,
  +1 per write including the delete), returned to the client. A non-zero
  version tells the UI the server has seen a conversation, which is how
  it can tell a never-synced draft from a server-side deletion.
* GET /api/conversations returns the tombstones under "deleted".
* DeleteAll and ReplaceAll leave tombstones too. ReplaceAll no longer
  hard-deletes everything first; it upserts the payload, skips ids that
  were deleted (reported in "skipped"), and tombstones the rest.
* createdAt/updatedAt are stored as the client sends them (only zero
  values are stamped), so clients compare updatedAt from their own
  clocks rather than against the server's.

The store specs now run against PostgreSQL (testcontainers) and, with
the auth tag, SQLite through auth.InitDB, since both back the auth
database. The API specs cover a stale client reconnecting after a remote
deletion. Swagger is regenerated with swag v1.16.6 (json.RawMessage
fields get swaggertype), and the feature is documented, including that
it needs user auth.

* fix(react-ui): let the server decide which chats were deleted

mergeRemoteAndLocal kept every chat that was only in the browser and
let the server copy win for every shared id. A stale browser therefore
uploaded chats deleted on another device as if they were new drafts,
and a message sent while the list request was still in flight was
replaced by the older server copy and then lost from localStorage too.

The first load now reconciles with the server's tombstones and versions:

* a chat the server lists under "deleted" is dropped locally;
* a chat on both sides keeps the copy with the newer updatedAt, so an
  edit made during the load wins and is uploaded afterwards;
* a chat only in the browser is uploaded only if it was never synced
  (no version). With a version the server has seen it and no longer
  has it, so it is dropped instead of resurrected (this also keeps one
  account's cached chats out of another account on a shared browser);
* deletes made while the list is loading are queued and sent once it
  arrives.

Saves record the version the server returns, and a 410 on save drops
the chat locally instead of retrying it forever. Chats received from
the server count as already sent, so adopting a server copy no longer
echoes it straight back. The bulk localStorage migration is gone: it
replaced the whole server set from a possibly stale browser, and the
per-chat saves already upload never-synced drafts through the tombstone
check.

The Playwright spec drives each case against a stubbed
/api/conversations that follows the server contract.

round-trips all of them, and the UI spec checks the toggle on the way up

* fix(react-ui): scope chat cache per account, retry unconfirmed deletes

Two gaps in the client half of server-side chat history, both found in
review:

The browser cache was one shared localStorage key. A draft that one
account could not upload (a failed first save) stayed in it, and after
that account signed out and another signed in, the reconcile kept the
unversioned draft and the save pass uploaded it into the second
account. The cache now lives under localai_chats_data:<user id>, Chat
remounts its state when the account changes, and nothing is synced
without a signed-in account. The shared key is left for browser-only
use without auth and is not uploaded when signed in, because nothing
tells which account it belongs to.

Deletes were dropped locally and their DELETE errors swallowed; only
deletes made while the first list was loading were queued, and not
persisted. A delete made while the server was unreachable therefore
came back with the next list. Deletes (single, delete all, and deletes
on the Home page) are now kept as pending deletes in the account's
cache until the server confirms them, override the server list in the
reconcile, and are sent again on the next change, on the online event
and on the next load. While a delete-all is pending no conversation is
uploaded, so a chat started after it is not caught by it.

The Playwright specs replay both review scenarios (account switch after
a failed first save; delete and delete-all while offline) with
counter-checks that the same account keeps and uploads its own draft
and that a confirmed delete is neither re-sent nor resurrected.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto f85087f992 feat(tts): stream Qwen text and add assistant preset (#12770)
* feat(tts): stream Qwen text through audio pipelines

Feed cleaned LLM deltas into one persistent Qwen synthesis session.
Return audio before input ends and preserve the live RPC through model
cache, staging and in-flight wrappers. Stop generation on sink failures
or cancellation without replaying speech through a fallback.

Pin the incremental native fork and verify early audio, late text,
finalization and cancellation with lifecycle and real-model checks.

Stefan Walcz f4505dbb5d feat(pii): optionally block content the detectors cannot inspect (#12755)
The PII middleware scans the text of every message, but images, audio,
video and files pass to the backend unchecked. For an egress policy
("nothing sensitive leaves the box") that is a hole: a photographed
invoice or an attached PDF reaches a cloud-proxy model without any check.

Add pii.block_unscanned_media. While PII is enabled for a model and the
option is set, a request that carries such content is rejected with the
usual 400 pii_blocked response and an audit event with pattern
__unscanned_media__, before any detector runs. Adapters report the
kinds of unscanned content through a new optional Adapter.Unscanned:
OpenAI chat (non-text content blocks), Anthropic messages (image and
document blocks; tool blocks stay allowed) and Ollama chat (images).

Off by default, so existing configurations behave as before.

e715af1def feat(llama-cpp): add slot prompt-cache save and restore API (#12730)
* feat(llama-cpp): add slot prompt-cache save and restore API

Add POST /v1/slots/save and POST /v1/slots/restore. They write one
llama.cpp slot's prompt cache (KV state) to a file and load it back,
so a client can warm a long system prompt in a few hundred
milliseconds instead of re-running prefill. Refs #12685.

The new SlotCache gRPC call posts the same slot save and restore
tasks the llama-server /slots endpoint uses. It is off unless the
model sets the new slot_save_path option, so existing models are not
affected. The /slots monitoring endpoint is not needed here: the
backend has no HTTP server.

The file name comes from the caller, so it is checked twice, in Go
and again in the backend. It must be one path component: no empty
name, "/", "\", "..", NUL, control characters or absolute path. The
resolved path, with symbolic links followed, must be a direct child
of slot_save_path. The routes are admin only because they write
files on the backend host.

* fix(llama-cpp): answer 501 when a backend lacks slot cache

A backend that does not implement the SlotCache rpc returns gRPC
UNIMPLEMENTED. The API passed that text through, so the client saw
"unknown method SlotCache". Map the status to a typed error in
core/backend and return 501 with a fixed message instead. Every other
error path is unchanged.

Make the SlotCache comments in backend.proto backend-neutral: slot is
the backend's state slot, filename must stay inside the save directory,
and an empty model_identity means the backend does not check it. Only
comments change, no field or name.

Add tests that the identity sent is the configured model, and for the
error mapping.

* fix(llama-cpp): issue slot cache IDs on the server

The slot save and restore API let the client pick the file name.
Restore could load any file in slot_save_path, and the symlink check
ran before llama.cpp opened the file.

The backend now issues the name. A save returns a random 128-bit ID
(32 lowercase hex characters, read from /dev/urandom) and never
overwrites an existing file. Files live in a 0700 directory per model,
named from the SHA-256 of the model identity, with a manifest.json
that records each save. The manifest is written atomically and a
corrupt one stops both save and restore.

A restore takes the ID, finds it in the manifest, refuses an entry of
another model, builds the path from the entry and checks with lstat
that it is a plain file of the recorded size. The directory mode is
the main defence against another local user, since llama.cpp still
opens the path itself.

Each model keeps at most 32 saves and the oldest is deleted first. A
file over 8 GiB is deleted after the save, because llama.cpp does not
report the size before it writes. Responses carry no host path.

The HTTP bodies change: save takes {model, slot}, restore takes
{model, slot, id}, and an unknown ID returns 404. In the proto,
SlotCacheRequest.filename and SlotCacheResponse.filename become id.
SlotCache no longer calls checkModelIdentity, which reads a field this
request does not have.

grpc-server.cpp includes slot_cache.h, but prepare.sh copies the helper

failed with "slot_cache.h: No such file or directory".

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto c7ce0c602c fix: stop listing the models directory on request paths and cache GGUF header reads (#12683)
* fix(http): stop listing the models directory on embeddings and bearer requests

Every embeddings request read the whole models directory before the body
was parsed, even when the body named its model. On a network-backed
models directory this cost seconds per request.

Embeddings now binds the body first and looks up a default model only
when the body has none, like chat. The pre-bind default lookup and the
gpt-4o constant default are gone from that route.

The first-available default lookup skips the directory when the filter
cannot accept an unconfigured file. Every usecase filter rejects files
without a config, so the scan never added results for them. Match-all,
nil and name filters keep the scan.

The bearer token check is now an exact test: a configured name, or one
stat of that name in the models directory. The value is a literal, not a
regular expression, and a name that is not a local relative path never
matches a file.

Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-haiku-5-5

* perf(config): cache GGUF header reads for model defaults

Model defaults re-parsed the GGUF header on every SetDefaults call, which
runs per request and at startup reload. Put a bounded LRU in front of the
parser, keyed by absolute path and validated by size and modification
time. The cached value is a snapshot of the fields the defaults use, not
the parser output.

A changed size or mtime is a miss. Missing files and parse errors are not
cached, so the existing fallback is unchanged. LOCALAI_DISABLE_GUESSING,
the empty-path guard, the alias early return, the panic recovery and the
context-size default are all kept in front of the cache.

* test(http): cover listing-free default lookup on every usecase route

Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-haiku-5-5

* feat(config): persist the GGUF header cache per instance

The header cache kept parsed GGUF results only in memory, so every restart
parsed each model file again before its defaults were known. Write the cache
to a per-instance file in the data path and load it at startup. A restarted
frontend with a fixed instance ID starts warm.

The file is versioned and records the estimator inputs (gguf-parser version,
candidate contexts, auto context size, offload count). A mismatch on any of
them makes the file ignored. Each entry keeps path, size and mtime, so a
changed model file is a miss on load. Writes run on one background saver,
debounced, through a temp file and rename. The entry bound applies to the
file as well. Without a data path the cache stays in memory only.

Documented as a per-instance exception in the model configuration docs.

* docs(embeddings): document model selection and the no-model error

Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-haiku-5-5

* refactor(config): split the header cache into a generic cache

The GGUF header cache mixed two things: the mechanics (bounded LRU keyed
by path and identity, per-instance file, debounced atomic save, tolerant
load) and the GGUF fields. Move the mechanics into headerCache[S], driven
by a headerCacheSpec[S] that names the file prefix, schema, fingerprint,
parser and the snapshot encode/decode pair. The GGUF cache becomes one
instance of it.

File names, the identity check, LRU size, debounce, atomic write and the
corruption handling are unchanged. The on-disk JSON keeps the "estimator"
key so existing files still load.

Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-haiku-5-5

* feat(config): share one GGUF header cache file between frontends

Every frontend used to write its own header cache file, named after its
instance ID, so a header read by one frontend was never reused by another.
The cache now uses one file, header-cache.json, in the data path, for all
frontends and for standalone mode. The instance ID no longer changes the
file name.

Frontends share the file in three ways. A save first merges the file's
entries in, so one frontend's write does not drop another's entries. A
miss reloads the file when its modification time has changed, and a hit
never reads it. Writes go to a temp file that is renamed into place, so a
reader never sees a partial file.

Two frontends saving at the same moment can still drop each other's last
entries. That costs one re-parse, never a wrong value, because every
entry is checked against its model file before use.

The shared file is valid only when every frontend mounts the same data
volume. The distributed-mode and model-configuration docs state this mode
and its volume limit.

The mirror of extend_to_next_word. A name model often tags the surname with

extend_to_previous_word lists entity groups whose accepted detections also
cover the word directly before them on the same line. The preceding word
must consist of letters (plus '-' and the apostrophe): a word with digits -
an amount, a date, a room number - is never taken, nor is a protected term,
and the search never crosses a line break.

Stefan Walcz e16b9d04cc feat(pii): protected terms that pass the NER filter unchanged
A name model reads many business names as surnames. Measured with
privacy-filter-multilingual on 24 synthetic German receipts and
invoices: the supplier name ("Hotel Seeblick", "Café Lindenhof", ...)
was masked as LASTNAME (0.78-0.98) or FIRSTNAME in 9 of 12 receipts
that carried one. The supplier is exactly what the upstream model needs
to categorise a receipt, and no score floor helps at those confidences.

pii_detection.protected_terms (inline) and
pii_detection.protected_terms_files (files inside the models path, one
term per line, '#' comments, re-read when size or mtime change) list
values that must pass unchanged. Each whole-word, case-insensitive
occurrence is replaced by a neutral placeholder before the detector
runs; every detection is mapped back onto the original text with the
placeholder parts cut out, so a protected term is never masked or
blocked, the detector never sees it as context, and event offsets keep
addressing the original text. A word extension (extend_to_next_word)
is dropped rather than run into a protected term.

Terms shorter than three characters are ignored. A missing or
unreadable file is logged and skipped: fewer protected terms means more
masking, never less. Paths are verified to stay inside the models path.

Opt-in, empty by default. Covered by Ginkgo specs in
core/services/routing/pii/protected_test.go (detector-visible text,
exact restoration, straddling detections, whole-word/case/line-wrap

Stefan Walcz 9b13408c94 feat(pii): extend a detection over the next word (extend_to_next_word)
Address models tend to tag a postal code with high confidence but miss

privacy-filter-multilingual on 24 synthetic German invoices: the postal
code was masked every time, while the town after it stayed in the clear
in 6 of 18 cases (4 not detected at all, 2 tagged CITY at 0.43/0.47,
below the configured floor). Masking the code alone leaves the pair half
redacted: "[REDACTED:ner:ZIPCODE] Ludwigshafen".

pii_detection.extend_to_next_word lists entity groups whose accepted
detections also cover the word that directly follows them on the same
line, with the same action and group. Horizontal whitespace is skipped,
a line break ends the search, and nothing is extended when no word
follows, so a hit never grows over bare whitespace or onto the next
line (or across the segment separator on the multi-message path).

behave exactly as before. Covered by Ginkgo specs in

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 6343a2dc6f feat(voice-detect): report the encoder family so audio-registered voices are fingerprinted (#12499)
* feat(voice-detect): report the encoder family so audio-registered voices are fingerprinted

A voice registered from audio through the voice-detect backend had no
encoder fingerprint, so the parakeet-cpp backend could not tell whether
it was comparable with the loaded speaker model and could only fall back
to the file-name rule.

The voice-detect backend now binds the three new libvoicedetect accessors
with a symbol probe (an older library still loads and reports nothing),
copies the borrowed strings at once and never frees them. It also hashes
the model file once at load. VoiceEmbedResponse gains two optional
fields, encoder_family and encoder_weights ("sha256:<hex>", empty when
the model is not a plain file).

/v1/voice/register stores them as encoder_family and a new
encoder_weights field in the registry entry; model keeps the encoder
name, so the 1:N identify filter by name is unchanged for old entries.
A voice with a family is sent to the backend whatever its file name, and
the backend decides by family. /v1/voice/identify compares the family
when both the stored voice and the probe have one. Old entries load
without the fields and stay unfingerprinted.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 895d50385f fix(distributed): converge model configs across frontends (#12558)
* fix(galleryop): announce model changes before the preload

After a gallery install or delete, the replica that ran it replaced its
config loader, then preloaded every installed model, and only then
published the models invalidation. The preload does remote lookups and
checksums for each model, so on a large models directory peers learned
about the change minutes after the originator listed it. When the
preload failed or the operation was cancelled, the event was never sent.

Publish the invalidation, and apply the delete lifecycle, as soon as
the loader holds the new set. The preload still runs afterwards with
its own error handling. Its failure is reported on the operation, but
it no longer rolls back a deletion that peers have already applied.

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

* fix(distributed): resync model configs from the models directory

Frontends refresh their model configs only when a models invalidation
arrives on NATS. NATS keeps no history, so a frontend that is
disconnected when the message is published never applies the change.
It keeps serving the old config, for example an alias that points at
the previous model, until some later change happens to touch it.

Each frontend now reruns the peer reconcile against the shared models
directory after every NATS reconnect, and every
--model-config-resync-interval (default 30s) when a config file
changed. The pass names no model, so only models whose file changed
get a revision transition, and an unchanged directory costs one read
of the config files.

The reconcile replaced the whole loader with a parse of the models
directory, which dropped models loaded with --config-file and
published a deletion revision for them. Configs defined outside the
directory are now kept, both there and after a gallery install.

* fix(nodes): stop stale frontends from retargeting alias rules

A scheduling rule keyed by an alias derives its target from the alias
mapping of the frontend that reads it. Every frontend keeps its own
copy of the model configs, so after an alias is repointed a frontend
that has not reloaded it still resolves the old target. Two frontends
then rewrote the rule's stored target_model against each other on
alternate reconciler ticks, and the outdated one scaled up the model
the alias used to point at.

The registry already records the accepted config revision of each
model. A frontend now derives a rule's target from its own alias
mapping only when its config revision for the rule's name matches
that record. Otherwise it keeps the stored target_model: it neither
writes the column nor reconciles replicas of the old target. The check
reads the database only for a rule whose stored and derived targets
differ. With no accepted revision on record, the old behaviour stays.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 217038d4fe fix(agents): share the collection list across frontends (#12536)
With the PostgreSQL vector engine, each frontend kept the collections it
had opened in an in-memory map and answered "collection not found" for
any other. A collection created through one frontend was unknown to the
others until they restarted, and each frontend listed a different set.

Wrap the in-process collections backend in distributed mode so that the
database is the source of truth:

- lists come from the registry,
- a lookup miss checks the registry before it returns 404, and opens a
  collection that exists there (once per name, even under concurrency),
- a cached collection that left the registry is dropped and closed, with
  a re-check at most every 5 seconds,
- create and reset publish an event on the existing collection
  invalidation subject, so other frontends re-check at once.

Without the postgres engine, or outside distributed mode, nothing changes.

e2faec2bf2 fix(distributed): free only the named model on model.unload (#12537)
The worker answered model.unload by calling Free on the first backend
process in its map, whatever model the request named. Every idle
scale-down or LRU eviction of one model could therefore empty another
model's backend on the same node. LocalAI still counted that model as
loaded, so its next request failed. A parakeet diarization model then
returned 501 "speaker profiles require a loaded speaker encoder" until
someone reloaded it by hand.

Resolve the target from the model name (all replicas), prefer an
address when the request carries one, and free nothing for an unknown
model.

Also let parakeet-cpp Diarize check the diarization model before the
speaker-profile capability. A backend with nothing loaded now answers
FailedPrecondition, which LocalAI treats as a stale replica and
reloads, instead of a final Unimplemented.

Ettore Di Giacinto 1d117292b1 feat(voice): name registered speakers through a bundle speaker component
Naming read only speaker_model:, so a parakeet-cpp bundle that sets
speaker_component:voice never received the registered voices, in live
transcription or in diarization.

Resolve speaker_component: when speaker_model: is not set. A component
is not an encoder file, so no file-name tag is derived for it: voices
with a hash or family identity and untagged voices reach the backend,
and a voice with only a file-name tag matches through the new optional
speaker_tag: alias. speaker_model: still wins, including when it points
at the bundle file.

The bundle gallery entries do not declare speaker_recognition: that
usecase means the VoiceEmbed and VoiceVerify RPCs, which the backend
does not serve, and it selects the default model for /v1/voice/*. The
pinning test now says so.

The in-memory local-store rejects vectors of another size than the ones
it holds. With 192-value voices registered, adding a 256-value voice
failed, and identifying with a 256-value probe returned an error.

The registry now keeps one store per embedding dimension. The first
dimension seen uses the configured store name, so single-encoder
instances are unchanged. Later dimensions use "<name>-<dim>". Identify
searches only the store of the probe size and returns no match when no
voice of that size exists. Forget finds the store from the stored
embedding. A name may hold one voice per encoder.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): encoder fingerprint for speaker naming, vad_trim and guard_* options

Speaker naming. A registered voice now carries the encoder that made it:
the embedding family (voicedetect:<arch>:<name>:<dim>) and the sha256 of
the weights. The backend reports the family of the loaded speaker model in
Status, voice enrollment from speaker_profiles stores it as encoder_family
(old entries load without it), and the registry sent to parakeet.cpp is
built with parakeet_capi_speaker_registry_add_embedding_fp. The library
then refuses a registry of another encoder family and the error names both
families; another quantization of the same family only warns. A voice with
only a weights hash gets the loaded family when the hashes are equal.

Voices without a fingerprint (registered from audio: libvoicedetect cannot
report one) keep the file-name rule and are used with a warning. The
library cannot mix them with fingerprinted voices in one registry, so a
request that has any uses the old registry for all. speaker_strict:true
drops them instead. A library without the symbols behaves as before.

Transcription. vad_trim (seconds, 0 keeps the whole cuts) goes through the
VAD options JSON, so it reaches /v1/vad and the segmenter. The guard_*
options guard_min_local_conf, guard_local_radius and guard_drop_punct_only
turn on the word filter through parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json_with,
or through the segmenter with vad:true. They are off by default, bad
values fail the load, and a library without the symbol fails it with a
clear message. The dropped word count is logged at debug level.

Stefan Walcz 5f5feea15a fix(agentpool): keep the conversation in the agent web chat (#12410)
* feat(agents): keep the web chat history between messages

The agent chat endpoint ran every message as a fresh job
(ag.Ask(WithText(message))), so a follow-up such as "add two days to
item 3 and recalculate" never saw the answer it referred to. Agents
then rebuilt their reply from scratch instead of changing it.

Use the agent's own conversation tracker, as the Telegram and Slack
connectors already do: send the earlier turns with the new message and
record successful answers. Failed, cancelled or empty runs are not
recorded, and the tracker drops a conversation after the agent's
last_message_duration of inactivity. The distributed (NATS) chat path is
unchanged.

* fix(agents): keep each web chat conversation's history separate

Review on this PR: the first version kept the history in the agent's
conversation tracker under one fixed key per agent. The web UI keeps
several conversations per agent (New Chat, switching, Clear) and did not
send which one a message belongs to, so the hidden history mixed them:
a new chat received the previous chat's turns, and Clear only cleared
the screen.

The client now sends the earlier turns of the conversation it is
showing as `history` with POST /api/agents/:name/chat, and the server
keeps no web chat history of its own. Each conversation only ever sees
its own turns; New Chat and Clear start without history. The server
uses only user and assistant turns with text, bounded to the most
recent 40 turns and 64,000 characters. `history` is optional, so
existing callers keep the previous behaviour (no history); the
distributed (NATS) path does not forward it yet.

Tests: two conversations of one agent stay apart, an empty history
(New Chat or Clear) starts fresh, system/tool/empty turns are dropped,
the bounds keep the most recent turns; the UI helper that builds the
history from the visible messages has node --test coverage. Docs:
features/agents.md describes `history` and the web UI behaviour.

Behaviour change: the worker now checks LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT before it
registers or connects, and exits with an error that names the variable
and says to use a served subject under the agent root, for example
agent.execute. The served roots are not widened: a custom root was
never delivered by the frontend, and a wider set would reopen the

* test(nodes): pin the reactions to ErrNoRoute

Three callers react to ErrNoRoute and had no spec: the reconciler's
upgrade drain falls back to the legacy forced install, the reconciler
marks the node unhealthy when a pending op has no route, and the
backend-op fan-out marks the node unhealthy. Each spec drives the real
caller with a scripted no-responders reply and reads the result from
the registry or the recorded requests.

A fourth spec pins the other side: a pending op that times out leaves

* test(messaging): pin client subject checks and fail the carrier suite in CI

Add specs that call Publish, Request, Subscribe, QueueSubscribe,
SubscribeReply and QueueSubscribeReply on a client with no connection.
Each call must return ErrUnservedSubject for bogus.thing and
ErrUnsupportedWildcard for jobs.>. This proves that the subject check
runs before the connection is used, and needs no server.

The NATS conformance suite is the only check that runs the subject rules
against a real carrier. Before this change it skipped without output
when Docker was missing. Now it fails when CI is set, so a Linux runner
without Docker cannot hide it. It still skips on local runs and on macOS
CI, which has no Docker.

Add SubjectNodeBackendInstallProgress to the list of constructors that
must build served subjects, and ask contributors to extend the list.

* docs: state what ErrNoRoute may change, and group the distributed guides

The seams note said MarkUnhealthy was the only state change allowed
on ErrNoRoute. A pending backend op still records the failed attempt,
counts toward the reconciler's retry limit and is dead-lettered after
the maximum attempts. The note now says that MarkUnhealthy is the only
change to the node's own state, and that the per-op accounting is not
a verdict about the node.

The note also documents that the NATS conformance run fails under CI
when Docker is missing. The distributed-seams row moves next to the
distributed-state row in the topics table. The liveness ping spec
header now says no route is a reason to skip the worker, not proof
that the worker is gone.

The subject and payload on the wire are unchanged. The supervisor no longer holds the bus, and installFn and upgradeFn let specs drive both verbs without a gallery.

The malformed-request log lines are restored for install, upgrade, backend.delete, model.unload, model.stop and model.delete, with the reply bytes unchanged. The signal adapter is renamed noReply, which also lets worker.go import os/signal without an alias again.

Queue group (agent-workers), inline execution on the delivery goroutine, the background handler context, the unmarshal error reply texts and the reply-less backend stop subscription are unchanged.

Keep the queue as given once the option is applied. An empty subject still

A registered voice with the wrong embedding size, or one the C side

New real-library specs (gated on PARAKEET_BACKEND_TEST_SPEAKER_MODEL,
_DIAR_MODEL, _WAV and, for the live path, _STREAM_MODEL) name the two
speakers of two_speakers.wav from a committed pair of WeSpeaker embeddings,
with the voices passed in reversed order. They also check that the float32

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 50c284fdcc fix: make the remaining VerifyPath checks effective (#12326)
utils.VerifyPath joins its argument onto the base path, so a path that
the caller already joined always passes. Several callers gave it joined
paths, and their checks could not fail:

- modeladmin (config view, patch, edit, pin and state): the config file
  path from the loader. A config loaded from outside the models
  directory (--models-config-file) could be pinned, and the pin wrote
  the outside file. The patch and state paths stopped later, in the
  mutation snapshot, with a different error.
- core/backend/tts.go: the model path joined onto the models path.
- The trellis2cpp and stablediffusion-ggml backends: option paths
  (*_path) joined onto the model path. A "../" value outside the model
  directory was accepted.

Add utils.VerifyResolvedPath for a full path. modeladmin and tts use
it. The backends now check the relative option value before they join
it. A rename in modeladmin checks the new relative name.

For models from a config file outside the models directory, the admin
API and web UI now return ErrPathNotTrusted for view, edit, pin, and
enable or disable. The docs describe this.

* fix(distributed): stage every shard of a split GGUF

A split GGUF is configured by its first shard only. llama.cpp opens the
other "-0000N-of-0000M.gguf" files from the same directory by name. The
router staged only the configured path, so the worker received shard 1
and the load failed with "failed to load GGUF split".

The router now stages the remaining shards next to the first one. A
missing shard fails the load and names the file. The file count for
progress and the payload size also include all shards. The payload size
feeds the load deadline and the disk-headroom check. For a 111 GB model
whose first shard is 10 MB, both were sized for less than 1 GB.

* fix(distributed): stage the files a model install declares

Replace the split GGUF file name matching with the model's own file
list. A gallery install or an import records every file of the model in
._gallery_<name>.yaml (files:), and a config can list more under
download_files:. The router now stages all of these files, not only the
files that the config's path fields name. This includes the other
shards of a split GGUF, which llama.cpp opens by name.

The application gives the router a resolver that reads the two lists.
The resolver looks up the files by model name when it stages them, so a
replica that the reconciler loads from saved load options gets the same
files. backend.proto does not change.

A declared file that is missing on the frontend is skipped with a
warning. The load deadline and the disk headroom check include the
declared files.

embedding fingerprint. The local-store backend behind it is an in-memory
gRPC process the model loader may evict (active-backend cap, memory
pressure) or the idle watchdog may kill, and relaunch on the next
request — empty. The file is unchanged, so EnsureLoaded returned early
and the router went blind: every probe fell back with similarity 0 while
corpus/stats kept reporting the full count.

Measured on a production router (LOCALAI_MAX_ACTIVE_BACKENDS=6, four
resident models + two router stores): loading any further backend
evicted a store, and the idle watchdog killed both after 15 minutes;
/stores/find returned 0 hits against a 100-line corpus file whose stored
vectors matched fresh embeddings with cosine 1.000.

Two parts, because the knn classifier is built once and cached
(GetOrBuildClassifier), so the sync at build time is otherwise the only
one for the process lifetime:

- corpus.Manager remembers one vector it inserted (probe) and, on the
  synced path, asks the live index for it. A miss means the index was
  relaunched — fall through and re-seed from the file (no re-embedding).
- The router middleware wraps the knn classifier's store so every
  lookup runs EnsureLoaded first; the loader gets the raw store, so its
  probe never re-enters the wrapper. A sync error fails the lookup
  closed, like the build-time load.

Specs: corpus package (relaunched empty store is re-seeded under an
unchanged file), middleware (relaunched index behind the cached
classifier is re-seeded instead of falling back; the spec is red without
the wrapper). The test fake now answers Search for inserted vectors.
Folds in the maintainer's follow-up (router-corpus-reseed-after-store-relaunch): reviewed and accepted.

52a6d62bbc fix: return correct HTTP status codes for saturation and no-nodes-available (#12113)
* feat: return 429 when backends are saturated

When backends are at capacity (per-model max_concurrent or the
process-wide --max-concurrent-backend-requests ceiling), the response
was 503. The OpenAI SDK, litellm, and most agent harnesses key on 429
for rate-limit backoff and treat 503 as a hard error.

Both saturation paths now return 429 with the existing Retry-After
header and type: "rate_limit_error" in the JSON body. The per-model
admission middleware keeps admission_rejected as the code field so
existing alerts that match on it still fire.

Non-saturation 503s are unchanged: model cold-loading (with progress
body), model-load failure cooldown, PII detector fail-closed, and
classifier unavailable. These mean "not ready" rather than "busy".

* fix: return 503 when scheduler has no available nodes

When the scheduler cannot find any healthy node to serve a model —
all nodes are full and eviction cannot free a slot, or a node_selector
excludes every candidate — the error fell through to 500. A 500 tells
clients something is broken when the condition is transient and
retryable.

The router now wraps these errors with a new ErrNoAvailableNodes
sentinel. The HTTP error handler maps it to 503 via applyNoAvailableNodes,
following the same pattern as applyBackendAdmission (429). Unrelated
scheduler errors (DB timeouts, registry lookups) still return 500.

Three return sites are wrapped:
- resolveSelectorCandidates: selector matches zero healthy nodes
- scheduleNewModel eviction-busy: all models have in-flight requests
- scheduleNewModel eviction-failed: eviction itself errored

The existing scheduleAndLoad wrapper ("no available nodes: %w") preserves
the sentinel through the chain via errors.Is, as does ModelRouterAdapter.

The admission audit row now records 429, but the Middleware page still
printed a hard-coded 503. Read the status from the event, and update
the two package comments that still said 503.

* fix(quantization): pin the producing backend on imported quantized models (#11875)

ImportModel hands the copied GGUF to importers.ImportLocalPath, which detects
the file format and defaults every GGUF to `backend: llama-cpp`. For a model
this service just produced with a backend stock llama.cpp cannot read, the
generated config names an engine that cannot load the file, and the import
silently registers an unloadable model. Correcting `backend:` by hand makes the
same file work.

The job record already carries the backend that served StartQuantization, so
carry it into the config instead of keeping the detected default. The gallery
publishes a quantizer as a release channel of the engine that runs its output
("llama-cpp-quantization" is llama.cpp's quantizer, whose GGUF is served by
"llama-cpp"), so the channel suffix is stripped to get the serving backend.
A backend that both quantizes and serves ("rocmfp4") carries no suffix and
passes through unchanged, as do pinned hardware variants ("rocm-rocmfp4"),
which are valid values for a config's backend field. An empty job backend
leaves the detected default in place.

Also replace the importer's generic "Fine-tuned model (GGUF)" description for
this path: the model was quantized, not fine-tuned, and the job knows the type.

Ettore Di Giacinto 84e2fc5eac feat(agents): support tool lists and required tool in distributed mode
LocalAGI 7e0947d added allowed_tools/excluded_tools and the
required_tool_before_finish gate. Single-node agents get them through
LocalAGI's runtime, but the distributed executor drives cogito directly
and its static config meta did not list the fields, so the agent form
hid them and the worker ignored them.

The distributed config now parses the tool lists from a JSON array or a
comma/newline separated string, and the meta entries match LocalAGI's.
The executor filters the knowledge base, skill and MCP tools (MCP via
cogito.WithMCPToolFilter) before the model sees them, and re-prompts the
model when it answers before the required tool returned "ok": true, up
to the configured number of reminders.

LocalAGI keeps its filter and gate helpers unexported, so a minimal copy
lives in core/services/agents/toolpolicy.go. A spec compares the meta
entries with LocalAGI's to catch drift.

A chain is checked for nested chains when it is saved, but not when
one of its targets is later edited into a chain. Requests then served
the inner chain's config as the target, which has no backend and
triggers backend auto-detection.

Mark such a target missing so no plan picks it, and skip it without a
trip in the HTTP path when it is pinned.

The warm list held target names as the chain lists them. For an alias
target that is the alias, but the preloader loads the alias stub (no
backend, no model) and the eviction guard compares against loaded
model names, which never include an alias. A warm alias target was
neither preloaded nor protected from eviction.

Report the model that serves each warm target instead.

Ettore Di Giacinto 1b03600437 fix(failover): drop the echo of an own target publish
A manager snapshots a target publish when it queues it and applies
every echo the sync layer sends back. With one recovery probe, a
success moves a target from down to recovering to healthy under one
lock and queues two publishes. The echo of "recovering" then arrived
after the target was healthy, rolled it back, switched the chain away
with reason trip and restarted the dwell timer.

Tag each target snapshot with the publishing manager and ignore own
echoes. The manager already holds that state or a newer one.

Ettore Di Giacinto 7804e4591c fix(syncstate): do not keep a value in memory when its Store write fails
SyncedMap.Set and Delete changed memory before they wrote the Store.
When the write failed they returned the error, but the unpersisted
value stayed in memory. Callers that re-read the map then applied it
again. The failover manager rolled back a failed pin, but its periodic
pin re-sync read the pin back from the map and re-applied it on that
frontend until the database came back.

Write the Store first and change memory only after it succeeds. A
failed Set or Delete now leaves memory and peers as they were, so the
map always matches what the Store holds. This also stops a failed
create of a fine-tune, quantization or agent task from leaving an
orphan entry that the API had reported as failed.
