A deploy replaces the whole content-hashed asset set at once. A tab
holding an older index.html, or one whose request lands on a replica
that the rollout has not swapped yet, asks for a page chunk the server
no longer has. The dynamic import rejects and React Router's default
error boundary replaces the app with "Unexpected Application Error!"
until someone reloads by hand.
The router now reloads the page itself when a chunk fails to load.
index.html is served no-cache, so the reload lands on a self-consistent
asset set. A timestamp in sessionStorage bounds this to one reload per
10 seconds, so a chunk that is genuinely gone reaches the error boundary
instead of looping forever.

* feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus
Add `classifier: knn` — similarity-weighted voting over labelled
example prompts. Unlike score/colbert it needs no classifier model:
label knowledge lives in a corpus seeded and curated through the
admin API, so routing decisions are deterministic, auditable, and
grounded in graded experience rather than a model's opinion.
Epistemic gate: corpus entries below knn.similarity_threshold cannot
vote; when none clears it the classifier activates no labels and the
router uses the fallback — a prompt unlike all labelled experience is
treated as undecidable, not guessed. Decisions record
nearest_similarity (also on fallback rows) so admins can see how far
the nearest labelled experience was; the Routing tab explains
out-of-corpus fallbacks and shows per-label corpus counts.
Persistence: one JSONL file per router under
<data path>/router-corpus (text, labels, vector, embedder
fingerprint). The file is the source of truth; the local-store index
is rebuilt from it at classifier build time and stays a pure
in-memory index. Entries recorded under a different embedding model
re-embed on load. Also corrects the docs' false claim that
local-store collections persist — the embedding cache never survived
restarts (and still doesn't); the corpus does.
Corpus input is API-only by design (entries may contain example user
content): POST /api/router/{name}/corpus seeds (labels validated
against declared policies, embedded server-side, indexed
immediately), GET .../corpus/stats inspects — label counts only,
entry texts are never returned by any surface — DELETE .../corpus
wipes. Admin-gated like the sibling router endpoints, and exposed as
MCP tools (seed_router_corpus / get_router_corpus_stats /
clear_router_corpus) in both the httpapi and inproc clients with
coverage-test route mappings.
Plumbing: VectorStore gains SearchK (top-K was hardcoded to 1);
local-store gets InsertBatch/Delete as optional fast paths;
RouterConfig gains a knn block (embedding_model, k,
similarity_threshold, vote_threshold, store_name) with meta-registry
fields; the classifier dropdown now offers knn and the
previously-missing colbert; embedding_cache is ignored (with a
warning) for knn — it IS an embedding-KNN lookup; the stale
/api/instructions intelligent-routing entry is rewritten (it
described a classifier that no longer exists); swagger regenerated.
Tests: KNN vote/gate specs with hand-computed vote shares, corpus
manager suite (restart reload without re-embedding, fingerprint
re-embed, dedupe, hostile store names), middleware specs (corpus
routing, gate fallback, config validation, cache-wrap refusal),
corpus endpoint specs pinning the texts-never-returned contract, MCP
catalog + route-mapping gates, and a Playwright spec for corpus
stats and the out-of-corpus decision detail.

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

* refactor(router): deduplicate knn plumbing and cut corpus hot-path waste
Post-review cleanup of the knn-first-class-router branch; no behaviour
changes on the API surface.
Reuse/altitude:
- RouterKNNConfig.ResolvedStoreName is now the single source of the
router-corpus-<name> default (was hand-derived in four files).
- corpus.ResolveKNNRouter + corpus.Seed carry the shared model
resolution and seed validation; the REST endpoints and the assistant
MCP client are thin transport adapters over them, with sentinel
errors mapped to HTTP statuses at the echo boundary.
- middleware.NewClassifierDeps assembles the classifier dependency set
once for all five entry points (OpenAI, Anthropic, realtime, decide,
corpus) instead of five hand-copied literals.
- router.AllClassifiers feeds both the status endpoint and the
unknown-classifier error, ending the classifier-list drift.
- Per-classifier requirements moved out of validateRouterPolicies into
their buildClassifier arms; the knn arm owns its embedding_cache
opt-out instead of a name-check in the shared wrap tail.
- adminOnly replaces four inline copies of the admin gate in the
middleware routes.
- localVectorStore.Search delegates to SearchK (identical traces).
Efficiency:
- Manager.Add embeds outside the manager mutex and appends to the
JSONL file (O(new) instead of O(corpus) rewrite); a torn tail from a
crash mid-append is tolerated on read and repaired on next write.
- Stats memoises per store keyed on the file's stat fingerprint and no
longer takes the manager mutex, so the 5s status poll stops parsing
vector-laden JSONL and stops blocking behind seeds.
- KNN Classify decodes each neighbour payload once (was twice) and
builds refs and votes in a single pass with one fallback return.
- Corpus file writes fsync before rename/close.
- The corpus manager is built eagerly in newApplication (sync.Once
dropped); test helper dead branch removed.

Adds eight curated vllm-cpp entries to the model gallery. Until now the
backend had gallery coverage only for MiniMax-H3 video, so serving text on
it meant hand-writing engine_args.
The flagship tier is what vllm.cpp gates its correctness and speed claims
on: Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B in NVFP4, each with a speculative
sibling (MTP on both, DFlash on the 27B). Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B covers
agentic tool use, and Qwen3-4B / Qwen3-0.6B in bf16 are the entries that
run where NVFP4 cannot, CPU included.
Three details are load-bearing rather than incidental:
- The 27B entries pin revision 890bdef7. That repository was later
re-quantized in place from NVFP4 to FP8 W8A8 under the same name, so an
unpinned entry resolves to different weights and reports nothing.
- Qwen3-Coder names tool_parser: qwen3_coder explicitly. Its dialect is
byte-identical on the wire to step3p5's, so chat-template sniffing
cannot separate them and auto-detection picks wrong.
- enable_prefix_caching is deliberately left unset everywhere. It defaults
on for dense models and off for the GDN hybrids, and that per-model
default is the right answer.
num_blocks is sized per model from its real KV footprint rather than
copied between entries, which ranges from 20 KiB/token on the 35B to
144 KiB/token on the 4B.
Docs: adds features/vllm-cpp.md covering installation, the model table,
the pinning rationale and how to choose between the speculative variants,
and cross-links it from the existing engine_args reference. It also
records that the CUDA images are built for Blackwell only, which is
narrower than vllm.cpp's own ten-architecture release and makes an
otherwise cryptic "no kernel image is available" failure legible.
Verified: gallery suite green; all eight decode and validate as a
ModelConfig. qwen3-0.6b-vllm-cpp confirmed end to end on a real cluster,
chat plus engine-parsed tool_calls. The NVFP4 entries are not yet
runtime-verified: no available node has kernels for them.

* fix(advisorylock): set statement_timeout alongside lock_timeout
WithLockCtx already overrides a deployment-wide lock_timeout on its
dedicated connection so a blocking pg_advisory_lock() waits its turn
instead of failing with 55P03. statement_timeout aborts that exact same
statement independently, with SQLSTATE 57014, and was not overridden.
Production roles commonly carry statement_timeout=60s. Any guarded
section longer than that (a cold model load stages for tens of minutes)
therefore killed every concurrent waiter:
advisorylock: acquiring lock 9003261067483446873: ERROR: canceling
statement due to statement timeout (SQLSTATE 57014)
Derive it from the same context budget as lock_timeout, with a matching
RESET so the pooled connection is returned clean.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]
* feat(distributed): add ModelLoadJob, the durable cold-load record
A cold load in distributed mode is a long-running background job, but it
was modelled as a synchronous side effect of an inference request: the
whole of it (backend install, multi-GB staging, checkpoint load) ran
inside the per-model advisory lock. Loading a 35.7 GB GGUF held that lock
for ~20 minutes, so every concurrent request for the same model blocked
on pg_advisory_lock and died at the role's 60s statement_timeout.
Introduce the row that lets the lock shrink to a decision. Exactly one
ModelLoadJob may be active per tracking key; that uniqueness — not the
lifetime of a lock — is what de-duplicates concurrent loaders across
replicas. ClaimLoadJob does its read-then-write under the advisory lock
and nothing else: no network, file or gRPC I/O inside the guarded
section, so a claim costs milliseconds no matter how long the resulting
load takes.
LastProgress is a heartbeat rather than a byte counter. A checkpoint load
legitimately moves zero bytes for many minutes, so a reaper keyed on byte
movement would reclaim a healthy job mid-load; byte progress stays the
concern of load_deadline.go. A job whose heartbeat stops for longer than
the orphan window is reclaimable, so a replica killed mid-load cannot
wedge a model permanently.
Failed jobs keep their row for a short grace so an immediately-following
request reports the real cause instead of silently starting a fresh load
of a model that just failed.
No caller yet — the router moves onto this in the next commit.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]
* refactor(distributed): run cold loads as jobs, outside the advisory lock
Route wrapped the entire cold load — node selection, backend install,
multi-GB staging and the remote LoadModel — in the per-model advisory
lock. The lock's job is to de-duplicate concurrent loaders, a decision
that takes milliseconds; holding it for the tens of minutes the resulting
work takes is what turned a dedup mechanism into a cluster-wide outage
for that model.
Split it into a claim and a run. The claim is the only thing left inside
the lock. The run is a background job owned by the claiming replica and
bounded by the same progress-extended deadline as before; every other
request for that model — local or on another replica — attaches as a
waiter and is served the moment the model is ready, with no duplicate
load and no lock contention.
Waiters share one broadcast rather than an ordered queue: they all want
the identical outcome, so ordering them would add fairness machinery that
changes no result. The local channel wakes same-replica waiters instantly
and a 2s DB poll is the authority, because a waiter on another replica
has no channel to close. On wake a waiter re-runs the warm path rather
than trusting the signal — the model may have been evicted in between.
A waiter whose client disconnects returns immediately and the job keeps
running; it belongs to the job record, not to the request. A failure is
recorded on the row so every waiter reports the real cause, and the row
survives briefly so the next request does not read "no job" as "not
loading" and start a duplicate load of a model that just failed.
The runner heartbeats the row on a fixed interval whether or not bytes
are moving, which is what keeps a legitimately silent checkpoint load
from being reclaimed as an orphan. Phase (installing/staging/loading) and
placement ride to the heartbeat on the context, the same seam
load_deadline.go already uses, so single-host paths are untouched.
Non-distributed mode (no DB) keeps the inline load exactly as it was.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]
* feat(distributed): bound the wait for a loading model and answer with progress
A request whose model is cold-loading now attaches to the running job and
is served the moment the model is ready. That wait has to be bounded: a
held HTTP request cannot survive real infrastructure, and an ingress or LB
idle timeout kills a twenty-minute request regardless of what LocalAI
does.
New LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_WAIT (default 60s) bounds the CALLER, never the
load — the job keeps running either way. On expiry the request gets 503
with Retry-After and a structured body naming the model, the node, the
phase, byte progress and an ETA. The `error` envelope keeps OpenAI
clients working; `loading` is additive so they ignore it.
The ETA comes from the job's own observed rate and is omitted rather than
guessed until enough bytes have moved for that rate to mean anything: a
confidently wrong ETA on a twenty-minute wait is worse than none.
Retry-After is that ETA when known, clamped to [5s, 300s], and the wait
budget otherwise.
LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_WAIT=0 waits unbounded, for deployments with no proxy
in front. Zero in the config struct still means "unset, use the default",
so the CLI records the operator's zero as ModelLoadWaitUnbounded rather
than losing the distinction.
The distributed branch of ModelLoader.loadModel wrapped the router's
error with %s, which flattened it to a string. Use %w: the typed error is
what the HTTP layer keys the 503 off.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]
* feat(api): add GET /api/models/{id}/load-status
A client that receives 503 while a model stages onto a worker needs
somewhere to poll. This returns the same `loading` object the 503 carries
— phase, node, byte progress and ETA — or 404 when no load is running.
Read-only and observability-shaped, so it is deliberately neither
admin-gated nor feature-gated: it explains a 503 the caller just
received, and hiding that behind a per-modality feature would make the
explanation for a failed image request depend on chat permissions. It
also gets no MCP tool, since there is nothing here an admin would manage
conversationally.
Registered on the surfaces from .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md: the
swagger block (existing `models` tag, so /api/instructions needs no new
area), the endpoint discovery maps in RegisterLocalAIRoutes, regenerated
swagger, and the distributed-mode docs page. No FLAG_* usecase is

503 carrying live progress instead of an error. Render it: the composer
shows the phase (installing / staging / loading), the node, the percent
and the ETA, then polls load-status and re-sends the request the moment
the model is ready.
Reuses the staging progress idiom the page already had rather than
inventing a second one — the two sources are folded into one
loadProgress, with the load job winning because it is authoritative
across frontend replicas and knows the phase, where the staging operation
only knows about a byte transfer this replica happens to be performing.
Waiting is bounded (three send attempts, ~30 min of polling each), so a
load that never finishes still surfaces as an error rather than as a
spinner nobody questions. An aborted generation stops the polling too.

* fix(distributed): check warm-path cleanup errors
The router moved legacy cleanup calls onto newly linted lines. Report
cleanup failures while preserving the fallback to a cold load.

Unexpected runtime exits only reported an exit code, which hid the backend diagnostic. Include the final non-empty stderr line when one exists.

The Darwin workflow passes BUILD_TYPE=metal but does not define OS=Darwin. The backend therefore omitted its Metal CMake flags and shipped the runtime source path instead of the embedded library.
Map the requested build type directly to the Metal flags and guard the build contract with a dry-run regression test.

* fix(ui): keep agent import action visible
The header hid its full import label after the agent list became non-empty. Hide only the nested file input so users can import more agents.

* test(ui): match the agent import label
The Agents page renders the action as Import.
The test searched for Import Agent, so it failed before checking visibility.
Mock the observables request to remove backend timing from the fixture.
