56600eec3e fix(nodes): show a node's existing labels on the detail view (#10529)
fix(nodes): return labels in single-node GET so the detail view shows them

The node detail view (/app/nodes/:id) reads `node.labels` to render a
node's existing labels, but the single-node GET endpoint returned a bare
BackendNode whose Labels live in a separate table - so the list was always
empty and operators could only add labels, never see what was already set
(#10527). The same response also lacked in_flight_count and model_count.

Add NodeRegistry.GetWithExtras, mirroring the existing List vs ListWithExtras
split: bare Get stays cheap for the routing hot paths and existence checks,
while the detail endpoint uses the enriched variant to attach the labels map
and live counts. No frontend change is needed - the UI already renders
existing labels once the data is present.

Closes #10527

b081247d95 feat(config): hardware-tuned defaults — Blackwell batch + VRAM-scaled concurrency (#10411)
* feat(config): node-aware hardware defaults — larger physical batch on Blackwell

A larger physical batch (n_batch/n_ubatch) materially lifts MoE prefill on
NVIDIA Blackwell consumer GPUs (sm_120/121, incl. GB10 / DGX Spark) — measured
on a GB10 with Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B, the prefill ceiling rises (ub512 ~2994 ->
ub2048 ~3316 t/s) and saturates around 2048.

The heuristic lives in core/config alongside the other config overriders
(ApplyInferenceDefaults, guessDefaultsFromFile/NGPULayers) — they all fill the
ModelConfig from heuristics, so hardware tuning is the same domain and stays in
one place. It is parameterized on a GPU descriptor (not direct detection) so it
works in both deployment shapes:

- Single host: SetDefaults applies it with the LocalGPU.
- Distributed: only the worker sees the GPU, so the worker reports its compute
  capability on registration (gpu_compute_capability -> BackendNode), and the
  router re-applies the SAME core/config heuristic for the SELECTED node before
  loading — fixing the case where the frontend has no GPU at all.

Explicit `batch:` always wins (only managed default values are touched).
xsysinfo gains NVIDIAComputeCapability() (detection only); all interpretation
lives in core/config. Tests: core/config, pkg/xsysinfo, core/services/nodes.

* test(config): injectable local-GPU seam + single-instance coverage

Make local GPU detection an injectable package var (localGPU) so the
single-instance path (SetDefaults -> ApplyHardwareDefaults) is deterministically
testable without a real GPU, mirroring the distributed override's coverage.
Adds specs asserting SetDefaults sets the Blackwell physical batch, leaves it
unset on non-Blackwell, and never overrides an explicit batch.

* feat(config): default concurrent serving (n_parallel) by GPU VRAM

The llama.cpp backend defaults n_parallel=1, which serializes multi-user requests
and leaves continuous batching off (it auto-enables only at n_parallel>1). Fold a
VRAM-scaled parallel-slot default into the hardware-config path so multi-user
serving works out of the box: >=32GiB->8, >=8GiB->4, >=4GiB->2, else unchanged.
With the backend's unified KV the slots SHARE the context budget, so this adds
concurrency without multiplying KV memory. Explicit parallel/n_parallel always
wins. EnsureParallelOption is shared by the single-host path (ApplyHardwareDefaults
with the local GPU) and the distributed router (per selected node's reported VRAM,
since the frontend may have no GPU). LocalGPU now also reports VRAM.

92dea961c2 fix: distributed backend reinstall/upgrade UI stuck on 'reinstalling' (#10214)
* fix(galleryop): self-evict terminal ops from OpCache.GetStatus

The processingBackends map (the UI 'reinstalling' spinner source) only cleared
an op when a client polled /api/backends/job/:uid. The Manage-page Reinstall and
Upgrade buttons never poll, so completed installs leaked into processingBackends
forever and the backend card spun 'reinstalling' even though the install had
finished. Evict terminal ops on the list read instead; DeleteUUID already
broadcasts the eviction so peer replicas converge.

Reproduced on a live 5-node distributed cluster: 5 backends sat in
processingBackends with underlying jobs reporting completed:true,progress:100.

* fix(nodes): clear pending backend ops behind offline/draining nodes

ListDuePendingBackendOps filters status=healthy, so a backend op queued against
a node that went offline (stale heartbeat) or draining (admin action) was never
retried, aged out, or deleted - it leaked forever and kept the UI operation
spinning. Add DeleteStalePendingBackendOps and run it each reconcile pass:
draining nodes are cleared immediately (model rows already purged), offline
nodes once their heartbeat is older than a grace window (blip protection).

Reproduced on a live cluster: orphaned llama-cpp install rows targeting an
offline (nvidia-thor) and a draining (mac-mini-m4) node sat at attempts=0
indefinitely.

* fix(nodes): stream per-node progress during backend upgrade

The install dispatch subscribed to a per-op progress subject and streamed
per-node download ticks; the upgrade dispatch did a bare 15-minute blocking
NATS round-trip with no subscription, so the UI showed progress:0 the whole
time (the 'reinstalling but nothing happens' report on a slow node).

Thread the op ID through BackendManager.UpgradeBackend -> the distributed
manager -> the adapter, and have the adapter subscribe to the per-op progress
subject before the request (extracted into a shared subscribeProgress helper
reused by install/upgrade/force-fallback). The worker's upgradeBackend now
creates the same DebouncedInstallProgressPublisher installBackend uses. An
upgrade is a force-reinstall, so it reuses SubjectNodeBackendInstallProgress
rather than minting a new subject - no new NATS permission, no new
rolling-update compat surface. Reconciler-driven retries pass empty
opID/onProgress and stay on the silent path.

Reproduced on a live cluster: upgrade of llama-cpp-development on agx-orin-slow
sat at progress:0 for 4+ minutes with no per-node feedback.

* fix(galleryop): persist cancellation + periodically reap orphaned ops

Two distributed gaps surfaced when a replica was killed mid-upgrade on a live
cluster, leaving the backend stuck 'processing' in the UI forever:

1. CancelOperation flipped the in-memory status to cancelled and broadcast a
   NATS event but never persisted the terminal status. On the next replica
   restart the still-active row re-hydrated straight back into
   processingBackends and the UI spun again. It now calls store.Cancel(id) so
   the cancel survives a restart.

2. CleanStale (which marks abandoned active ops failed) only ran once on
   startup, so an op orphaned AFTER startup - its owning replica's foreground
   handler goroutine gone - was never reaped until the next restart. Add
   GalleryService.ReapStaleOperations and run it on a 15m ticker (CleanStale
   now returns the reaped count for observability).

Neither is covered by the OpCache self-evict fix: an orphaned op never reaches
Processed, so it would never self-evict.

* fix(review): address self-review findings on the distributed install fixes

Three findings from an adversarial review of this branch:

1. CRITICAL - OpCache.GetStatus crashed under concurrent load. m.Map() returns
   the live internal map by reference, so deleting from it on the read path was
   an unsynchronized write to a map four HTTP handlers poll every ~1s -> a
   'concurrent map writes' fatal. Rewritten to iterate a Keys() snapshot, build
   a fresh result map, and apply evictions via the locked DeleteUUID after the
   loop. Added a -race concurrency regression guard.

2. HIGH - GetStatus evicted failed ops too, hiding them from /api/operations
   and breaking the dismiss-failed-op flow (the panel keeps Error != nil ops so
   the admin can read the error and click Dismiss). Eviction now fires only for
   terminal ops with Error == nil (success/cancelled); failures are retained.

3. MEDIUM - DeleteStalePendingBackendOps missed StatusUnhealthy nodes. A node
   marked unhealthy on a NATS ErrNoResponders never transitions to offline
   (health.go skips re-marking it), so its pending ops leaked exactly like the
   offline case. Unhealthy is now reaped via the same stale-heartbeat grace path
   (a fresh-heartbeat node is recovering and keeps its op).

* fix(review-2): don't evict the still-installing soft-path; don't spin on failed ops

Second review pass found two issues:

1. MEDIUM (Go) - OpCache.GetStatus evicted the ErrWorkerStillInstalling
   soft-path op. That op is deliberately Processed=true with no error to show a
   yellow in-progress state when a worker timed out the NATS round-trip but is
   still installing in the background; the reconciler confirms the real outcome
   later. Evicting it (and broadcasting OpEnd + marking the DB completed) hid an
   install that may still fail. Eviction is now scoped to a clean success
   (progress 100 + 'completed', matching the job-poll's historical condition) or
   a cancellation - the soft-path (progress != 100) and failures are kept.

2. MEDIUM (React) - the Backends gallery card rendered ANY operation as an
   'Installing...' spinner, so a failed op (now intentionally kept in the list
   for the OperationsBar error + Dismiss) spun forever. Exclude errored ops from
   the card spinner, mirroring Models.jsx (isInstalling already excludes
   op.error). The error + Dismiss still surface in the global OperationsBar.

* fix(ui): refresh Manage backends table when an operation settles

The Manage backends table fetched installed backends only on mount/after delete
and checked upgrades only on tab activation. After a reinstall/upgrade completed
neither re-ran, so the installed-version cell and the 'update available' badge
stayed stale until the user switched tabs - the op looked like it 'did nothing'.

Watch the operations list (via useOperations) and re-fetch installed backends +
available upgrades whenever the count settles, mirroring the operations.length
watch Backends.jsx already uses. Consolidates the prior tab-activation upgrades
check into the same effect.

* fix(radixtree): reclaim empty branches, RWMutex reads, TTL boundary, empty-key guard

Address review findings on the generic prefix tree:

- Extract a shared pruneWalk helper parameterized by a shouldClear
  predicate and use it from Evict, Remove, and the MaxEntries path.
  Previously evictOldestLocked cleared a victim's value but never
  removed the now value-less node or its childless ancestors, so
  internal nodes accumulated under sustained churn at the cap. The
  MaxEntries path now prunes the victim and its empty ancestors.
- DRY: pruneWalk replaces the duplicated logic in the former
  pruneLocked and Remove's inner closure.
- Switch Tree.mu to sync.RWMutex; LongestMatch, Weight and Len take
  the read lock (RLock) while Insert, Evict and Remove keep the write
  lock. Confirmed race-clean under go test -race.
- Document the strict greater-than TTL boundary on Options.TTL and
  expired: age exactly equal to TTL is still live.
- Guard Insert against an empty key (no-op): the root never holds a
  value.

Adds Ginkgo specs covering MaxEntries eviction, ancestor reclamation,
the no-growth-past-cap invariant, the TTL boundary, and empty-key
behavior for both Insert and LongestMatch.

* fix(prefixcache): head-first prefix chunking and hoist Weight out of sort

Address code-quality review findings in the prefixcache package.

Correctness: ExtractChain now chunks from absolute offset 0 with fixed
[0,W),[W,2W),... boundaries and caps the chain to the FIRST MaxDepth
head blocks. The previous tail-keeping logic shifted the byte offset by a
non-window amount once a conversation grew past MaxDepth*WindowBytes,
changing every hash each turn and silently breaking cross-turn
longest-prefix matching. The reusable KV/prefix cache lives at the head
of the prompt, so anchoring at offset 0 makes the chain a true
prefix-chain: P and P+suffix share their full leading overlap. Add a
regression spec proving cross-turn stability past the cap.

Performance: Index.Decide precomputes each candidate's Weight once
(decorate-sort-undecorate) instead of calling the O(tree size) Weight
inside the O(n log n) sort comparator. Behavior is unchanged.

Lint: encode prev with binary.LittleEndian.PutUint64 instead of a manual
byte loop, clearing the modernize rangeint finding.

Also add a concurrent Decide/Observe/Invalidate spec to exercise Index's
documented concurrency safety under go test -race.

* feat(nodes): optional route preference in FindAndLockNodeWithModel

* feat(prefixcache): make Sync satisfy Provider with Evict

Sync.Observe now returns whether the local index treated the assignment as
new or extended, and Sync gains an Evict method that delegates to the wrapped
index. Together these let SmartRouter hold a single prefixcache.Provider that
broadcasts via NATS. Adds a compile-time Provider assertion and an
Evict-delegates behavioral test.

* feat(nodes): prefix-cache-aware preference and observe in SmartRouter.Route

Add a PrefixProvider + PrefixConfig to SmartRouterOptions/SmartRouter (nil
keeps routing byte-for-byte the round-robin floor). On each request Route now
calls buildPreference: it reads the prompt prefix chain from ctx
(distributedhdr.PrefixChain), resolves the per-model policy/thresholds over
the global config, loads candidate replica in-flight via a new registry read
LoadedReplicaStats (deduped to one entry per node using the MIN in-flight
across that node's replicas), asks the provider to Decide, and runs
prefixcache.Select. The chosen node is passed as the RoutePreference to
FindAndLockNodeWithModel on all three pick paths (cache hit, locked re-pick,
cold scheduleAndLoad), and the served node is recorded via Observe only when
the resolved policy is prefix_cache so round-robin models never pollute the
tree.

* feat(nodes): invalidate prefix-cache entries on unload and stale removal

UnloadModel and both staleness fall-through paths in Route (after a failed
gRPC probe and RemoveNodeModel) now call prefixProvider.Invalidate(model,
nodeID), guarded by a nil-provider check so the round-robin floor is
unchanged. At runtime the provider is the *prefixcache.Sync, so invalidations
also broadcast to peer frontends. Adds a test that a previously hot prefix no
longer Decides to a node after UnloadModel.

* feat(prefixcache): rolling forced-disturb pressure counter

Add a concurrency-safe per-model rolling counter that tracks how many
times a request had a usable hot prefix match but the load guard forced
it off the warm node. Entries outside the window are dropped lazily on
Count so the backing slice stays bounded.

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

* feat(nodes): autoscale on prefix-cache forced-disturb pressure

Wire the rolling forced-disturb counter into the SmartRouter and the
ReplicaReconciler.

Router: in buildPreference, after Decide + Select, record a forced-disturb
when a usable hot prefix match existed (d.HotNodeID != "" and
d.MatchRatio >= cfg.MinPrefixMatch) but Select chose a different node (or
nothing) because the load guard ruled the warm node out. This is the
scale-worthy signal: the cache-warm replica is saturated. It deliberately
does not fire for all-unique workloads (no hot match), avoiding
false-positive scale-ups. Pressure is optional on SmartRouterOptions; nil
keeps the path a no-op.

Reconciler: read the same Pressure instance in reconcileModel as an extra
scale-up reason, reusing the existing MaxReplicas + ClusterCapacityForModel
guards and the UnsatisfiableUntil cooldown that gates the whole method.
Pressure never overrides MaxReplicas and never force-evicts; a no-capacity
model does not spin. Window and threshold come from prefixcache.Config
(PressureWindow default 1m, PressureScaleThreshold default 1) and are
configurable via ReplicaReconcilerOptions.

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

* fix(prefixcache): bound Pressure slice in Record; drop dead reconciler pressureWindow

Record now prunes entries older than the rolling window (the same prune
Count does), via a shared pruneLocked helper, so a model that takes
forced-disturb records but is never Counted (e.g. one with zero loaded
replicas the reconciler skips) no longer grows its backing slice
unbounded.

Also removes the dead pressureWindow struct field and the
ReplicaReconcilerOptions.PressureWindow option from the reconciler: they
were stored but never read (the window lives inside the *prefixcache.Pressure
instance). The scale block now reads pressure.Count once into a local.

chain per request, subscribes to prefixcache.observe/prefixcache.invalidate
to apply peers' events to the local index (no re-broadcast), threads
PrefixProvider/PrefixConfig/Pressure into the SmartRouter and
Pressure/PressureThreshold into the ReplicaReconciler, and runs a
background eviction ticker (every TTL/2) bound to the app context.

Enabled by default; --distributed-prefix-cache=false (LOCALAI_DISTRIBUTED_PREFIX_CACHE)
opts out and leaves the provider/pressure nil so routing stays round-robin.

that score K candidates against the tree under the read lock no longer
pay K full walks.

* refactor(config): add ModelConfig.ModelID() single source of truth

The c.Name fallback to c.Model was duplicated in core/backend/options.go
(feeding model.WithModelID) and hand-copied into core/backend/llm.go (the
prefix-chain salt). These MUST agree or the prefix-cache salt diverges
silently from the id the model loader tracks. Consolidate both into a new
config.ModelConfig.ModelID() helper and call it from both sites. Behavior
is identical.

* perf(prefixcache): reuse one xxhash.Digest in ExtractChain

ExtractChain allocated a fresh xxhash.New() Digest per block (up to MaxDepth
per call) and grew the chain slice without preallocation. Reuse a single
Digest via Reset() before each block and preallocate the chain to
min(nBlocks, MaxDepth).

xxhash seed 0 is stateless, so Reset()+Write produces the byte-identical
value to a fresh New()+Write. Output hashes are unchanged, preserving the
cross-process determinism that peers rely on over NATS. Verified by capturing
ExtractChain output for the existing test inputs before and after the
refactor: identical. Existing extractor tests pass unchanged.

* fix(prefixcache): drop hot match when matched node is not a candidate; weigh cold candidates in one walk

Index.Decide called radixtree.LongestMatch over the whole tree, so the
deepest match could be a node that is offline, unloaded, or simply not in
the passed candidate set. Honoring that as HotNodeID produced a false
forced-disturb signal upstream (buildPreference records pressure when
chosen != HotNodeID), making it look like a warm replica was load
saturated when it was actually absent.

Build the candidate set once and only set HotNodeID/MatchRatio when the
matched node is an actual candidate; otherwise fall back to cold
placement. A future refinement could ask the tree for the longest match
restricted to the candidate nodes (shallower-but-valid) instead of
dropping it.

Also replace the per-candidate tree.Weight call in the cold-order sort
with a single tree.WeightsFor walk, turning O(K*N) under the read lock
into O(N + K).

* refactor(prefixcache): remove Select's unreachable deterministic fallback

buildPreference always passes ColdOrder as a permutation of the full

and document that ColdOrder is guaranteed to cover all candidates, so ""
means none were eligible.

* refactor(nodes): fetch model scheduling config once per Route

GetModelScheduling was read three times per request - in

three DB round-trips for one row that is immutable for the life of the

Route and thread the *ModelSchedulingConfig (may be nil) into all three
helpers. scheduleNewModel keeps its own fetch since it runs outside the
Route snapshot. Behavior is identical for nil sched.

* fix(autoscale): add Pressure.Reset to consume forced-disturb signal

Pressure.Count is non-draining (it prunes only by age), so a single burst
of forced-disturbs stays within the rolling window for the whole window and
keeps Count >= threshold on every reconciler tick. The reconciler will use
Reset to clear a model's events after acting on the signal so a fresh
scale-up requires fresh forced-disturbs to accumulate, rather than one burst
driving the model toward MaxReplicas.

   consumed it. With a non-draining counter a single forced-disturb burst
   kept Count >= threshold across the whole window, firing scaleUp on every
   tick and pushing the model toward MaxReplicas off one transient burst.
   After a successful pressure-triggered scale-up the reconciler now calls
   Pressure.Reset to consume the signal.

2. Double scale-up in one tick: the all-replicas-busy block and the pressure
   block could both fire in the same reconcileModel pass, each calling
   scaleUp(+1) against the same `current` read once at the top, so a model
   that was both busy and over threshold scaled +2 and could overshoot
   MaxReplicas by one. A scaledUp flag now enforces at most one scaleUp(+1)
   per tick: the pressure block is skipped if the busy block already scaled,
   and scale-down is skipped in any tick that scaled up.

MinReplicas enforcement, UnsatisfiableUntil backoff, and capacity guards are
unchanged.

* feat(nodes): replica-removed chokepoint hook for prefix-cache invalidation

Add SetReplicaRemovedHook to NodeRegistry and fire it from both
RemoveNodeModel and RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas after a successful
delete. This is the single chokepoint every replica-removal path funnels
through (router eviction, reconciler scale-down, probe reaper,
health-monitor node-down reap, RemoteUnloaderAdapter), so the
prefix-cache index can be invalidated by construction rather than wiring
each call site individually.

The hook is stored in an atomic.Pointer so the startup wiring (setter)
and the request/reconcile-time fire are race-free; it is nil-safe when
unset. GORM Delete reports no error for a no-op delete, so the hook also
fires when nothing was removed; the consumer's Invalidate(model, node)
is idempotent so this is harmless.

* fix(nodes): preserve prefix-cache settings on partial scheduling update

A scheduling POST that omitted route_policy/thresholds (e.g. a
min_replicas-only update) full-replaced every column and silently reset
the model's previously-configured prefix-cache settings to empty/zero.

Make the four prefix-cache request fields pointers so omitted is
distinguishable from explicit zero, and merge PATCH-style in
SetSchedulingEndpoint: a provided pointer wins, an omitted one preserves
the existing config value (zero default when none). Non-prefix fields
keep their full-replace PUT semantics. Validation now runs on the
resolved values via prefixcache.ValidateThresholds.

* fix(prefixcache): make Invalidate a no-op for uncached models and skip empty broadcasts

A registry chokepoint fires Sync.Invalidate(model, nodeID) for every replica
removal of every model, including round-robin models that never used the
prefix cache. Index.Invalidate previously called tree(model), which lazily
created and permanently retained an empty radix tree for any model that ever
lost a replica, growing the trees map without bound. Sync.Invalidate also
published a NATS PrefixCacheInvalidateEvent on every call, amplifying no-op
removals across the cluster.

Index.Invalidate now looks the tree up read-only via existingTree and returns
without allocating when none exists. The Provider interface is unchanged;
Sync gates the broadcast through an optional invalidateExisting(bool) capability
type-asserted from the wrapped Index, falling back to the prior always-broadcast
behavior for other Provider implementations.

* perf(prefixcache): derive Decide candidacy from WeightsFor and skip trivial sort

WeightsFor already returns a map keyed by every requested candidate, so the
separate candidates set built to validate the hot match was redundant: a node
is a candidate iff it is a key in the weights map. Drop the extra map and gate
the hot-match check on weights membership. Also skip the sort when there is at
most one candidate, since the input order is already the cold order. Behavior
is unchanged.

Deferred follow-up: skipping the WeightsFor walk entirely when a hot match wins
would need lazy cross-file changes and is out of scope here.

* fix(nodes): fire replica-removed hook on bulk node_models deletes; trim LoadedReplicaStats columns

Bulk node-scoped node_models deletes (Register re-register cleanup,
MarkOffline, MarkDraining, Deregister) removed rows directly without
firing the replica-removed hook, so the prefix-cache index kept
pointing at nodes whose models were gone. Capture the DISTINCT model
names before each bulk delete and fire fireReplicaRemoved once per
model after a successful delete, restoring the single-chokepoint
invariant for all removal paths. The pre-query is skipped when no hook
is set so the no-hook path stays cheap.

Also narrow LoadedReplicaStats to SELECT only node_id and in_flight
(the only fields the router consumer reads), dropping the JOIN-side
available_vram fetch and unused columns while keeping the
[]ReplicaCandidate return type unchanged.

* fix(reconciler): consume autoscale signals only on a real scale-up

scaleUp was fire-and-forget (void) yet its callers unconditionally
consumed the pressure signal (Pressure.Reset) and the MinReplicas
hysteresis (ClearUnsatisfiable) right after calling it. If scaleUp
added nothing (ScheduleAndLoadModel errored, or no node could be
loaded) the saturated warm replica got no new replica AND its
accumulated forced-disturb history was wiped, forcing the signal to
re-accumulate over a full PressureWindow before the next attempt.

Make scaleUp return whether at least one replica was actually
scheduled, and gate the side effects on it:

- pressure block (2b): set scaledUp and call Pressure.Reset only on
  success; on failure preserve the signal so the next tick retries off
  the same accumulated pressure.
- busy-burst block (2): set scaledUp from the return value so a failed
  attempt does not suppress the pressure path or scale-down.
- MinReplicas block: call ClearUnsatisfiable only on success so a
  failed attempt does not reset the unsatisfiable counter.

All existing invariants (MaxReplicas, capacity gating,
UnsatisfiableUntil cooldown, at-most-one-scale-up-per-tick) are
preserved.

* refactor(nodes): drop router's redundant prefix-cache Invalidate calls

The NodeRegistry removal chokepoint (RemoveNodeModel /
RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas) now fires SetReplicaRemovedHook, which
invalidates the prefix-cache index. The router was also calling
prefixProvider.Invalidate explicitly right after each registry removal
on the two stale-replica health-probe fall-throughs in Route and in
UnloadModel, so every router-side eviction invalidated twice (double
tree-prune + double NATS broadcast).

Remove the three redundant explicit Invalidate calls and their empty
nil-guards. Each removed call sat immediately after a registry removal
that fires the hook, so invalidation is preserved via the chokepoint.
Decide/Observe usage is untouched.

Re-point the unit test (fake registry fires no hook) to assert the
removal chokepoint is exercised on unload instead of the router's
direct invalidation.

* fix(nodes): make capture+delete atomic in bulk node_models removal paths

MarkOffline, MarkDraining, and the Register re-register cleanup ran the
nodeModelNames SELECT and the bulk node_models DELETE as two separate
statements on r.db with no transaction. A SetNodeModel landing between
the two was deleted but its replica-removed hook never fired, leaving
the prefix-cache index pointing at a removed replica until TTL or
candidacy self-heal.

Wrap the capture and the delete in a single db.Transaction in each path
(mirroring how Deregister already does it). The captured model names are
collected into a slice declared outside the closure; the
replica-removed hook fires for each only after the transaction commits,
so a rollback never invalidates the index for a removal that did not
persist. The set of fired hooks now equals exactly the set of
node_models rows actually deleted, with no interleaving gap.

The status flip in MarkOffline/MarkDraining (setStatus) is a separate,
pre-existing operation and routing already filters non-healthy nodes, so
it stays outside the transaction; return contracts are unchanged.
Deregister was already correct and is untouched. The cheap-path skip
(no hook -> skip the SELECT) is preserved.

Adds a spec asserting MarkOffline fires hooks for exactly the rows it
deletes and leaves no node_models row behind (consistent snapshot).

* fix(radixtree): match shared prefixes by valuing every node on insert

Insert recorded the value (node id) only on the final node of the key
chain, leaving every intermediate prefix node valueless. LongestMatch
returns the deepest node that hasValue, so two chains that share a
leading block but diverge in the tail never matched: only exact-repeat
queries hit. That broke the prefix-cache routing core use cases (shared
system prompt, multi-turn extension, volatile tail), all of which rely
on prefix matching rather than exact-repeat.

Set value/hasValue/lastSeen at every node along the chain so each
prefix-block node remembers the node id that served that prefix
(SGLang/vLLM-style). The deepest match wins, and the last writer owns a
shared prefix node (a recency heuristic: the most recent chain through a
block is the one most likely still warm). size now counts valued nodes,
which is the intended meaning.

Updated radixtree tests to the new semantics: deepest-prefix test uses
non-overlapping chains, a new test asserts last-writer-owns-shared-node,
Evict/Remove/MaxEntries expectations recomputed for per-prefix-node
counting, and a shared-prefix LongestMatch red test added. Added a
prefixcache Decide test proving a prefix-only query routes to the warm
node. No prefixcache .go logic changed.

* test(distributed): lock in prefix-cache routing behavior end to end

Add a DB-backed e2e spec that drives SmartRouter against a real
NodeRegistry (Postgres testcontainer) and the real prefixcache.Index
radix-tree provider, using a fake gRPC backend factory so no real
inference runs. Covers the five behaviors validated by hand:

1. Cold miss + observe: an unseen prefix chain cold-places and is recorded.
2. Hot-match affinity: the same chain returns to its warm node X.
3. Shared-prefix match: a divergent chain sharing X's leading prefix
   still routes to X (the radix-tree regression we fixed).
4. Negative control: an unrelated chain is a cold miss, not a false
   hot match on X.
5. Failover + invalidation: removing X's replica fires the registry
   chokepoint hook to invalidate the prefix entry, and the chain fails
   over to surviving node Y and re-homes there.

Replaces the need for manual docker-compose re-runs.

* refactor(prefixcache): make prefix-cache affinity replica-granular

Track prefix-cache affinity per loaded replica (a backend process with its
own KV cache) instead of per node, so multiple replicas of the same model on
one node each keep distinct affinity and a hot prefix routes back to the exact
replica that served it.

- radixtree: add RemoveFunc(pred) and reimplement Remove on top of it.
- prefixcache: introduce ReplicaKey{NodeID, Replica}; Index/Candidate/
  PrefixDecision/Select/Provider now key on ReplicaKey. Add InvalidateNode to
  drop every replica of a node; Invalidate drops one replica. Select returns
  (ReplicaKey, bool) and gains a deterministic least-in-flight eligible
  fallback (tiebreak NodeID then Replica).
- messaging: carry Replica on PrefixCacheObserveEvent and
  PrefixCacheInvalidateEvent (Replica < 0 means all replicas of the node).
- Sync delegates + broadcasts with replica; InvalidateNode broadcasts
  Replica=-1; ApplyInvalidate routes negative replica to InvalidateNode.

This is part 1 of 2; the registry/router/wiring consumers are updated
separately.

* feat(distributed): make prefix-cache routing replica-granular

served by (node,0) no longer leaks onto the same-node sibling (node,1).

- RoutePreference gains PreferredReplica; FindAndLockNodeWithModel locks
  the EXACT (node_id, replica_index) row, falling through to the default
  ORDER BY when that replica is not loaded.
- SetReplicaRemovedHook now carries replicaIndex; RemoveNodeModel fires
  the specific replica, RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas and the four bulk
  node-scoped deletes fire replica<0 (all replicas of the node).
- buildPreference builds one Candidate per loaded replica and locks the
  exact replica the policy chose; observePrefix records the served
  ReplicaKey at every call site.
- distributed.go routes the hook to InvalidateNode (replica<0) or
  Invalidate(key).
- Tests updated to the replica-keyed API plus new coverage: a hot prefix
  on (node,0) prefers replica 0 over the same-node sibling (router unit +
  e2e), and FindAndLock locks the exact preferred replica.

* fix(distributed): derive prefix chain from messages for tokenizer-template models

Prefix-cache-aware routing built its prompt-prefix chain from the rendered
prompt string `s` in ModelInference. For models with
TemplateConfig.UseTokenizerTemplate the frontend never renders a prompt - the
backend tokenizes the structured messages itself - so `s` is empty, the chain
is empty, and routing silently falls back to round-robin. That covers the bulk
of modern chat models (qwen3, llama3, ...), so the feature effectively never
engaged for them.

Fall back to messagesPrefixSource(messages): a deterministic, prefix-stable
head-first serialization of the conversation (role + content per turn). Two
requests sharing a leading system prompt and early turns share a leading byte
prefix, which ExtractChain maps to a shared chain prefix - landing both on the
same cache-warm replica. The rendered `s` is still preferred when present
(higher fidelity for non-template models).

Found via the multi-replica-per-node e2e: zero "prefix-cache routing decision"
logs despite per-request Route calls, traced to the empty-chain guard.

a891eedd08 fix(distributed): persist per-model load info so reconciler survives frontend restart (#9981)
* feat(distributed): add per-model ModelLoadInfo persistence

Adds a dedicated ModelLoadInfo table keyed by model name, decoupled from
the per-replica NodeModel rows. The reconciler can now recover model load
metadata after every NodeModel row has been removed (worker death,
eviction, MarkOffline reaping, frontend restart with stale heartbeats),
which is the read side of Bug-1 from the distributed mode bug hunt.

Registry exposes:
  - UpsertModelLoadInfo: ON CONFLICT (model_name) update; last-write-wins,
    matching the existing per-replica blob semantics under concurrent
    multi-frontend dispatch.
  - GetModelLoadInfo: read from the new table first; fall back to the
    legacy NodeModel-blob scan for rows written before any frontend in
    the cluster ran an UpsertModelLoadInfo (rolling-upgrade transition).

SetNodeModelLoadInfo (per-replica blob) is preserved for backward
compatibility and per-replica diagnostics; the dispatch-path hook in the
next commit calls both.

The new table joins the existing nodes AutoMigrate set under the same
schema-migration advisory lock.

* fix(distributed): persist per-model load info on dispatch

scheduleAndLoad now writes the (backendType, ModelOptions blob) pair to
the new ModelLoadInfo table in addition to the existing per-replica
NodeModel.model_opts_blob field. The per-replica blob still works for
the hot path; the per-model row outlives every NodeModel row going away,
which is what unblocks the reconciler on the read side.

Both writes are best-effort with warn-level logging on failure: a write
miss here just means the reconciler may need a fresh inference request
to repopulate, which is the pre-fix behavior.

Concurrency: two frontends loading the same model at the same time both
fire UpsertModelLoadInfo; ON CONFLICT (model_name) makes the row
converge to whichever commits last. Matches the existing per-replica

  - ON CONFLICT (model_name) updates backend type + blob, last-write-wins
  - legacy NodeModel-blob fallback still works (rolling-upgrade transition)
  - GetModelLoadInfo returns ErrRecordNotFound when both sources are empty
  - UpsertModelLoadInfo rejects empty model names

reconciler_test.go:
  - Bug-1 end-to-end: with min_replicas=2, no NodeModel rows, but a
    ModelLoadInfo row present, one reconcile tick fires two scheduler
    calls. Pre-fix this returned "no load info" and the scheduler never
    got called until a fresh inference request arrived.

8bbe89a537 fix(distributed): route per request across loaded replicas + cache probeHealth (#9968)
* refactor(distributed): extract PickBestReplica from FindAndLockNodeWithModel

Lifts the replica-selection policy (in_flight ASC, last_used ASC,
available_vram DESC) out of the SQL ORDER BY into a pure Go function in
the new replicapicker.go. The SQL clause keeps its FOR UPDATE atomicity
and remains the production path used by SmartRouter; PickBestReplica is
the canonical implementation that the future per-frontend rotating
replica cache (TODO referenced from pkg/model) will call against an
in-memory snapshot without paying a DB round-trip per inference.

both layers pick the same replica, so any future tweak to either side
fails the test until the other side is updated.

* fix(distributed): route per inference request and cache probeHealth

Two related fixes that together restore load balancing across loaded
replicas of the same model.

1. ModelLoader.Load and LoadModel bypass the local *Model cache when
   modelRouter is set. The cached *Model wraps an InFlightTrackingClient
   bound to a single (nodeID, replicaIndex) — reusing it pinned every
   subsequent request to whichever node won the very first pick, so
   FindAndLockNodeWithModel's round-robin never got a chance to run
   even after the reconciler scaled the model out to a second node. In
   distributed mode SmartRouter.Route now runs per request, and
   PickBestReplica picks the least-loaded replica each time.

   SmartRouter has its own coalescing (advisory DB lock for first-time
   loads + singleflight on backend.install RPC) so concurrent first
   requests for a not-yet-loaded model still produce a single worker
   side install.

2. SmartRouter.probeHealth memoizes successful gRPC HealthCheck results
   in a new probeCache (probe_cache.go) with a 30s TTL. With per-request
   routing every inference call hits probeHealth, and llama.cpp-style
   backends serialize HealthCheck behind active Predict — so a burst of
   incoming requests stalled on the probe to a node already mid-stream,
   tripping the 2s timeout and falling through to the install path.
   singleflight collapses N concurrent first-time probes for the same
   (node, addr) into one round-trip, failed probes invalidate the entry
   so the staleness-recovery path still triggers, and the TTL matches
   pkg/model/model.go's healthCheckTTL so the single-process and
   distributed paths share a staleness budget. The background
   HealthMonitor still reaps actually-dead backends within ~45s.

The bypass introduces one short FindAndLockNodeWithModel transaction per
inference. A TODO in pkg/model/loader.go documents the future per modelID
rotating-replica cache that would reuse PickBestReplica against an
in-memory snapshot and skip the DB round-trip for hot paths.

timeout so the reconciler does not immediately re-fire another install
while the worker is still pulling the image. The pending_backend_ops
row stays in place for the next reconciler pass to confirm via
backend.list.

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

NextRetryAt by the configured timeout without reaching into a private

download callback. Each tick becomes a BackendInstallProgressEvent on
nodes.<nodeID>.backend.install.<opID>.progress; the publisher always
emits a final event on Flush so the UI sees the terminal percentage.

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

* feat(distributed): RemoteUnloaderAdapter subscribes to install progress

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adds the data model the UI needs to render an expandable per-node
breakdown of a fanned-out backend install. NodeProgress carries node
identity (ID + name), per-node status (queued / running_on_worker /
success / error / downloading), the current file + bytes + percentage
from the Phase 2 progress stream, and any per-node error.

OpStatus.Nodes is the slice the /api/operations handler will surface
in a follow-up.

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

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

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

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

DistributedBackendManager now accepts a nodeProgressSink and feeds it
two streams:

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

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

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

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

When an operation's OpStatus has Nodes entries (populated by the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two regression specs added pinning both directions of the contract.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Promote both to exported const blocks:

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

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

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

b4fdb41dcc fix(distributed): cascade-clean stale node_models rows + filter routing by healthy status (#9754)
* fix(distributed): cascade-clean stale node_models on drain and filter routing by healthy status

Stale node_models rows (state="loaded") were surviving past the healthy
state of their owning node, causing /embeddings (and other inference
paths) to dispatch to a backend whose process was gone or drained. The
downstream symptom in a live cluster was pgvector rejecting inserts
with "vector cannot have more than 16000 dimensions (SQLSTATE 54000)"
because the misbehaving backend silently returned a malformed
(oversized) tensor; the Models page showed the model as "running"
without an associated node, like a stale entry, even though the node
was no longer visible in the Nodes view.

Two changes here, plus a third in a follow-up commit:

- MarkDraining now cascade-deletes node_models rows for the affected
  node, mirroring MarkOffline. Drains are explicit operator actions —
  the box has been intentionally taken out of rotation — so clearing
  the rows stops the Models UI from misreporting and prevents the
  routing layer from picking those rows if scheduling logic is ever
  relaxed. In-flight requests already hold their gRPC client through
  Route() and finish normally; the only observable effect is a
  non-fatal IncrementInFlight warning, acceptable for a drain.

  MarkUnhealthy is deliberately left status-only: it fires from
  managers_distributed / reconciler on a single nats.ErrNoResponders
  with no retry, so a transient NATS hiccup must not nuke every loaded
  model and force a full reload on recovery.

- FindAndLockNodeWithModel's inner JOIN now filters on
  backend_nodes.status = healthy in addition to node_models.state =
  loaded. The previous version relied on the second node-fetch step to
  reject non-healthy nodes, but a concurrent reader could still pick
  the same stale row in the same window. Belt-and-braces.

- DistributedConfig.PerModelHealthCheck renamed to
  DisablePerModelHealthCheck and inverted at the call site so
  per-model gRPC probing is on by default. The probe (now made
  consecutive-miss aware in a follow-up commit) independently health-
  checks each model's gRPC address and removes stale node_models rows
  when the backend has crashed even though the worker's node-level
  heartbeat is still arriving.

  Migration: the field had no CLI flag, env var binding, or YAML key
  in tree (only the bare struct field), so there is no user-facing
  migration. Anything constructing DistributedConfig in code needs to
  drop the assignment (default now does the right thing) or invert it.

* fix(distributed): require consecutive misses before per-model probe removes a row

The per-model gRPC probe used to remove a node_models row on a single
failed health check. With the per-model probe now on by default, that
made any 5-second gRPC blip (network jitter, a long-running request
hogging the worker's gRPC server thread, brief GC pause) trigger a
full reload of the affected model — too eager for production.

Require perModelMissThreshold (3) consecutive failed probes before
removal. At the default 15s tick a model must be unreachable for ~45s
before reap; a single successful probe in between resets the streak.
Per-(node, model, replica) state tracked under a mutex on the monitor.

If the removal call itself fails, the miss counter is left in place
so the next tick retries rather than starting the streak over.

Tests:
- removes stale model via per-model health check after consecutive
  failures (replaces the single-shot expectation)
- preserves model row when an intermittent failure is followed by a
  success (covers the reset-on-success path and verifies the counter
  reset by failing twice more without crossing threshold)
- newTestHealthMonitor initializes the misses map so direct-construct
  test helpers don't nil-map-panic in the probe path

22ff86d64f fix(distributed): round-robin replicas of the same model (#9695)
FindAndLockNodeWithModel previously ordered candidate replicas by
in_flight ASC, available_vram DESC. The primary key is correct, but the
tiebreaker meant that whenever in_flight tied — the common case at low
to moderate concurrency where requests don't overlap — the node with
the largest available VRAM won every pick. With autoscaling placing
replicas of the same model on multiple nodes, the fattest GPU node
ended up taking nearly all the load while the others sat idle.

Insert last_used ASC between the two existing tiers. last_used is
already refreshed inside the same transaction that increments in_flight
(and by TouchNodeModel on cache hits in the router), so the
"oldest-used" replica naturally rotates through the candidate set —
strict round-robin without a schema change. available_vram DESC is
demoted to a final tiebreaker for cold starts where last_used is
identical across replicas.

Placement queries (FindNodeWithVRAM, FindLeastLoadedNode, and the
*FromSet variants) have the same fattest-GPU bias on tiebreakers but
are higher-cost to fix consistently. Deferred to a follow-up so the
routing fix can land first — for the user-observed symptom routing was
the dominant cause anyway.

Test: registry_test.go adds a focused spec that loads three replicas
on three nodes with 24/16/8 GB VRAM and asserts each is picked at
least twice across 9 in_flight-tied calls.

170d55c67d fix(distributed): honor NodeSelector in cached-replica lookup, stop empty-backend reconciler scaleups (#9652)
* fix(distributed): honor NodeSelector in cached-replica lookup, stop empty-backend reconciler scaleups

Two distinct bugs were causing tight retry loops in the distributed scheduler:

1. FindAndLockNodeWithModel ignored the model's NodeSelector. When a model
   was loaded on multiple nodes and only some matched the current selector,
   the function returned the lowest-in_flight node — even one the selector
   excluded. Route()'s post-check then fell through to scheduleNewModel,
   which targeted the matching node where the model was already at
   MaxReplicasPerModel capacity. Eviction couldn't help (the only loaded
   model on that node was the one being requested, and it was busy), so
   every request looped through "evicting LRU" → "all models busy".

   Fix: thread an optional candidateNodeIDs filter through
   FindAndLockNodeWithModel. Route() resolves the selector once via a new
   resolveSelectorCandidates helper and passes the matching IDs to both
   the cached-replica lookup and scheduleNewModel. The same helper
   replaces the inline selector block in scheduleNewModel.

2. ScheduleAndLoadModel (reconciler scale-up path) fell back to
   scheduleNewModel with backendType="" when no replica had ever been
   loaded for a model. The worker rejected the resulting backend.install
   ("backend name is empty") on every reconciler tick (~30s).

   Fix: remove the broken fallback. When GetModelLoadInfo has nothing
   stored, return a clear error instead of firing a doomed NATS install.
   The reconciler's existing scale-up failure log surfaces it once per
   tick; the model auto-replicates as soon as Route() serves it once and
   stores load info.

Also downgrade the post-LoadModel-failure StopGRPC error to Debug — that
cleanup attempt usually hits "model not found" because LoadModel failed
before registering the process, and the outer "Failed to load model"
error already carries the real reason.

* test(distributed): cover selector-aware FindAndLockNodeWithModel and reconciler scaleup guard

Two regression tests for the bugs fixed in the previous commit:

1. FindAndLockNodeWithModel — registry-level integration tests verify the
   candidateNodeIDs filter:
   - Returns the included node even when an excluded node has lower
     in_flight (the original selector-mismatch loop scenario).
   - Returns not-found when the model is loaded only on excluded nodes,
     forcing Route() to fall through to a fresh schedule instead of
     reusing the excluded replica.

2. ScheduleAndLoadModel — mock-based test verifies the reconciler scale-up
   path returns an error and does NOT fire backend.install when no replica
   has been loaded yet. fakeUnloader gains an installCalls slice so this
   negative assertion is direct.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agent workers don't load models, so the per-node replica capacity is

node_type !== 'agent' so it only appears on backend workers.

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

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

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

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

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

for pre-staging a scheduling rule before the node it'll run on has
finished bootstrapping.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

fda1c553a1 fix(distributed): stop queue loops on agent nodes + dead-letter cap (#9433)
pending_backend_ops rows targeting agent-type workers looped forever:
the reconciler fan-out hit a NATS subject the worker doesn't subscribe
to, returned ErrNoResponders, we marked the node unhealthy, and the
health monitor flipped it back to healthy on the next heartbeat. Next
tick, same row, same failure.

Three related fixes:

1. enqueueAndDrainBackendOp skips nodes whose NodeType != backend.
   Agent workers handle agent NATS subjects, not backend.install /
   delete / list, so enqueueing for them guarantees an infinite retry
   loop. Silent skip is correct — they aren't consumers of these ops.

2. Reconciler drain mirrors enqueueAndDrainBackendOp's behavior on
   nats.ErrNoResponders: mark the node unhealthy before recording the
   failure, so subsequent ListDuePendingBackendOps (filters by
   status=healthy) stops picking the row until the node actually
   recovers. Matches the synchronous fan-out path.

3. Dead-letter cap at maxPendingBackendOpAttempts (10). After ~1h of
   exponential backoff the row is a poison message; further retries
   just thrash NATS. Row is deleted and logged at ERROR so it stays
   visible without staying infinite.

Plus a one-shot startup cleanup in NewNodeRegistry: drop queue rows
that target agent-type nodes, non-existent nodes, or carry an empty
backend name. Guarded by the same schema-migration advisory lock so
only one instance performs it. The guards above prevent new rows of
this shape; this closes the migration gap for existing ones.

Tests: the prune migration (valid row stays, agent + empty-name rows
drop) on top of existing upsert / backoff coverage.

75a63f87d8 feat(distributed): sync state with frontends, better backend management reporting (#9426)
* fix(distributed): detect backend upgrades across worker nodes

Before this change `DistributedBackendManager.CheckUpgrades` delegated to the
local manager, which read backends from the frontend filesystem. In
distributed deployments the frontend has no backends installed locally —
they live on workers — so the upgrade-detection loop never ran and the UI
silently never surfaced upgrades even when the gallery advertised newer
versions or digests.

Worker-side: NATS backend.list reply now carries Version, URI and Digest
for each installed backend (read from metadata.json).

Frontend-side: DistributedBackendManager.ListBackends aggregates per-node
refs (name, status, version, digest) instead of deduping, and CheckUpgrades
feeds that aggregation into gallery.CheckUpgradesAgainst — a new entrypoint
factored out of CheckBackendUpgrades so both paths share the same core
logic.

Cluster drift policy: when per-node version/digest tuples disagree, the
backend is flagged upgradeable regardless of whether any single node
matches the gallery, and UpgradeInfo.NodeDrift enumerates the outliers so
operators can see *why* it is out of sync. The next upgrade-all realigns
the cluster.

Tests cover: drift detection, unanimous-match (no upgrade), and the
empty-installed-version path that the old distributed code silently
missed.

* feat(ui): surface backend upgrades in the System page

The System page (Manage.jsx) only showed updates as a tiny inline arrow,
so operators routinely missed them. Port the Backend Gallery's upgrade UX
so System speaks the same visual language:

- Yellow banner at the top of the Backends tab when upgrades are pending,
  with an "Upgrade all" button (serial fan-out, matches the gallery) and a
  "Updates only" filter toggle.
- Warning pill (↑ N) next to the tab label so the count is glanceable even
  when the banner is scrolled out of view.
- Per-row labeled "Upgrade to vX.Y" button (replaces the icon-only button
  that silently flipped semantics between Reinstall and Upgrade), plus an
  "Update available" badge in the new Version column.
- New columns: Version (with upgrade + drift chips), Nodes (per-node
  attribution badges for distributed mode, degrading to a compact
  "on N nodes · M offline" chip above three nodes), Installed (relative
  time).
- System backends render a "Protected" chip instead of a bare "—" so rows
  still align and the reason is obvious.
- Delete uses the softer btn-danger-ghost so rows don't scream red; the
  ConfirmDialog still owns the "are you sure".

The upgrade checker also needed the same per-worker fix as the previous
commit: NewUpgradeChecker now takes a BackendManager getter so its
periodic runs call the distributed CheckUpgrades (which asks workers)
instead of the empty frontend filesystem. Without this the /api/backends/
upgrades endpoint stayed empty in distributed mode even with the protocol
change in place.

New CSS primitives — .upgrade-banner, .tab-pill, .badge-row, .cell-stack,
.cell-mono, .cell-muted, .row-actions, .btn-danger-ghost — all live in
App.css so other pages can adopt them without duplicating styles.

* feat(ui): polish the Nodes page so it reads like a product

The Nodes page was the biggest visual liability in distributed mode.
Rework the main dashboard surfaces in place without changing behavior:

StatCards: uniform height (96px min), left accent bar colored by the
metric's semantic (success/warning/error/primary), icon lives in a
36x36 soft-tinted chip top-right, value is left-aligned and large.
Grid auto-fills so the row doesn't collapse on narrow viewports. This
replaces the previous thin-bordered boxes with inconsistent heights.

Table rows: expandable rows now show a chevron cue on the left (rotates
on expand) so users know rows open. Status cell became a dedicated chip
with an LED-style halo dot instead of a bare bullet. Action buttons gained
labels — "Approve", "Resume", "Drain" — so the icons aren't doing all
the semantic work; the destructive remove action uses the softer
btn-danger-ghost variant so rows don't scream red, with the ConfirmDialog
still owning the real "are you sure". Applied cell-mono/cell-muted
utility classes so label chips and addresses share one spacing/font
grammar instead of re-declaring inline styles everywhere.

Expanded drawer: empty states for Loaded Models and Installed Backends
now render as a proper drawer-empty card (dashed border, icon, one-line
hint) instead of a plain muted string that read like broken formatting.

Tabs: three inline-styled buttons became the shared .tab class so they
inherit focus ring, hover state, and the rest of the design system —
matches the System page.

"Add more workers" toggle turned into a .nodes-add-worker dashed-border
button labelled "Register a new worker" (action voice) instead of a
chevron + muted link that operators kept mistaking for broken text.

New shared CSS primitives carry over to other pages:
.stat-grid + .stat-card, .row-chevron, .node-status, .drawer-empty,
.nodes-add-worker.

* feat(distributed): durable backend fan-out + state reconciliation

Two connected problems handled together:

1) Backend delete/install/upgrade used to silently skip non-healthy nodes,
   so a delete during an outage left a zombie on the offline node once it
   returned. The fan-out now records intent in a new pending_backend_ops
   table before attempting the NATS round-trip. Currently-healthy nodes
   get an immediate attempt; everyone else is queued. Unique index on
   (node_id, backend, op) means reissuing the same operation refreshes
   next_retry_at instead of stacking duplicates.

2) Loaded-model state could drift from reality: a worker OOM'd, got
   killed, or restarted a backend process would leave a node_models row
   claiming the model was still loaded, feeding ghost entries into the
   /api/nodes/models listing and the router's scheduling decisions.

The existing ReplicaReconciler gains two new passes that run under a
fresh KeyStateReconciler advisory lock (non-blocking, so one wedged
frontend doesn't freeze the cluster):

  - drainPendingBackendOps: retries queued ops whose next_retry_at has
    passed on currently-healthy nodes. Success deletes the row; failure
    bumps attempts and pushes next_retry_at out with exponential backoff
    (30s → 15m cap). ErrNoResponders also marks the node unhealthy.

  - probeLoadedModels: gRPC-HealthChecks addresses the DB thinks are
    loaded but hasn't seen touched in the last probeStaleAfter (2m).
    Unreachable addresses are removed from the registry. A pluggable
    ModelProber lets tests substitute a fake without standing up gRPC.

DistributedBackendManager exposes DeleteBackendDetailed so the HTTP
handler can surface per-node outcomes ("2 succeeded, 1 queued") to the
UI in a follow-up commit; the existing DeleteBackend still returns
error-only for callers that don't care about node breakdown.

Multi-frontend safety: the state pass uses advisorylock.TryWithLockCtx
on a new key so N frontends coordinate — the same pattern the health
monitor and replica reconciler already rely on. Single-node mode runs
both passes inline (adapter is nil, state drain is a no-op).

Tests cover the upsert semantics, backoff math, the probe removing an
unreachable model but keeping a reachable one, and filtering by
probeStaleAfter.

* feat(ui): show cluster distribution of models in the System page

When a frontend restarted in distributed mode, models that workers had
already loaded weren't visible until the operator clicked into each node
manually — the /api/models/capabilities endpoint only knew about
configs on the frontend's filesystem, not the registry-backed truth.

/api/models/capabilities now joins in ListAllLoadedModels() when the
registry is active, returning loaded_on[] with node id/name/state/status
for each model. Models that live in the registry but lack a local config
(the actual ghosts, not recovered from the frontend's file cache) still
surface with source="registry-only" so operators can see and persist
them; without that emission they'd be invisible to this frontend.

Manage → Models replaces the old Running/Idle pill with a distribution
cell that lists the first three nodes the model is loaded on as chips
colored by state (green loaded, blue loading, amber anything else). On
wider clusters the remaining count collapses into a +N chip with a
title-attribute breakdown. Disabled / single-node behavior unchanged.

Adopted models get an extra "Adopted" ghost-icon chip with hover copy
explaining what it means and how to make it permanent.

Distributed mode also enables a 10s auto-refresh and a "Last synced Xs
ago" indicator next to the Update button so ghost rows drop off within
one reconcile tick after their owning process dies. Non-distributed
mode is untouched — no polling, no cell-stack, same old Running/Idle.

* feat(ui): NodeDistributionChip — shared per-node attribution component

Large clusters were going to break the Manage → Backends Nodes column:
the old inline logic rendered every node as a badge and would shred the
layout at >10 workers, plus the Manage → Models distribution cell had
copy-pasted its own slightly-different version.

NodeDistributionChip handles any cluster size with two render modes:
  - small (≤3 nodes): inline chips of node names, colored by health.
  - large: a single "on N nodes · M offline · K drift" summary chip;
    clicking opens a Popover with a per-node table (name, status,
    version, digest for backends; name, status, state for models).

Drift counting mirrors the backend's summarizeNodeDrift so the UI
number matches UpgradeInfo.NodeDrift. Digests are truncated to the
docker-style 12-char form with the full value preserved in the title.

Popover is a new general-purpose primitive: fixed positioning anchored
to the trigger, flips above when there's no room below, closes on
outside-click or Escape, returns focus to the trigger. Uses .card as
its surface so theming is inherited. Also useful for a future
labels-editor popup and the user menu.

Manage.jsx drops its duplicated inline Nodes-column + loaded_on cell
and uses the shared chip with context="backends" / "models"
respectively. Delete code removes ~40 lines of ad-hoc logic.

* feat(ui): shared FilterBar across the System page tabs

The Backends gallery had a nice search + chip + toggle strip; the System
page had nothing, so the two surfaces felt like different apps. Lift the
pattern into a reusable FilterBar and wire both System tabs through it.

New component core/http/react-ui/src/components/FilterBar.jsx renders a
search input, a role="tablist" chip row (aria-selected for a11y), and
optional toggles / right slot. Chips support an optional `count` which
the System page uses to show "User 3", "Updates 1" etc.

System Models tab: search by id or backend; chips for
All/Running/Idle/Disabled/Pinned plus a conditional Distributed chip in
distributed mode. "Last synced" + Update button live in the right slot.

System Backends tab: search by name/alias/meta-backend-for; chips for
All/User/System/Meta plus conditional Updates / Offline-nodes chips
when relevant. The old ad-hoc "Updates only" toggle from the upgrade
banner folded into the Updates chip — one source of truth for that
filter. Offline chip only appears in distributed mode when at least
one backend has an unhealthy node, so the chip row stays quiet on
healthy clusters.

Filter state persists in URL query params (mq/mf/bq/bf) so deep links
and tab switches keep the operator's filter context instead of
resetting every time.

Also adds an "Adopted" distribution path: when a model in
/api/models/capabilities carries source="registry-only" (discovered on
a worker but not configured locally), the Models tab shows a ghost chip
labelled "Adopted" with hover copy explaining how to persist it — this
is what closes the loop on the ghost-model story end-to-end.
