4d7bdc6ff2 feat(ui): redesign the web UI around a shared kit and a calm palette (#12526)
* build(ui): vendor the shared UI kit snapshot at 0.2.0

The restyle needs the kit's tokens, motion layer and component classes.
Take a pinned snapshot instead of depending on the kit at build time,
and keep a lock file with the version and per-file checksums so a later
update shows exactly what changed. The product theme stays outside the
vendored directory.

* feat(ui): add the ink and teal theme and bridge the old variables

Define the product colours as the shared UI kit's roles, for light and
dark, in theme-localai.css. The kit's contrast check passes on every
pair. theme.css keeps the existing --color-* and --shadow-* names but
now points each at a role, so App.css and the pages get the new palette
without edits. Radii move to the kit scale.

index.html now sets data-theme before first paint with the same rule as
ThemeContext (stored choice, otherwise dark), because the contract
layout of the theme file no longer defaults to dark by itself.

* feat(ui): restyle the shared chrome with the UI kit grammar

Adjust the shared classes so every page picks up the same interaction
language without per-page edits:

- Sidebar sits on the canvas and the current row lifts onto a card.
  Section labels are tracked uppercase, the badge is a soft pill, and
  the phone drawer leaves the tab order when closed.
- Buttons are flat: hover swaps the surface, press scales to .97, focus
  is a 2px ring with a 2px offset, danger is a tinted wash.
- Inputs use the card surface and the control edge; switches, tabs,
  filter chips, badges and cards follow the same rules. Cards no longer
  lift on hover; only linked or button cards react.
- Menus and popovers scale in from the trigger corner with 40px items.
  Dialogs get a veil fade and a spring settle. Toasts become pills at
  the bottom centre.
- The page transition is a 250 ms fade with a 6px rise. It fills
  backwards so a finished animation no longer leaves a transform that
  confined dialog veils to the main column.

The focus-ring test now checks the outline instead of a box shadow, and
new specs cover the theme roles, the first-paint theme and the sidebar
lift.

* fix(ui): move leftover hard-coded colours onto the theme roles

The YAML editor restated the old blue palette in JavaScript, and a few
pages kept literal blues, indigo and violet tints, or fallbacks that
only applied because a variable was never defined. Point them at the
theme variables so they follow light and dark and the new palette.

The status badges in the account pages built their tint by appending
"22" to a variable, which is not valid once the variable is defined, so
they had no background. Use the wash roles instead.

* feat(ui): raise the type scale and control size toward the kit

Body and list text moves to 15px and the rest of the scale follows the
kit's 12/13/15/17/21/32/44 steps. Page titles, section headings and
stat values are bold with tighter tracking; titles are 32px.

Buttons, inputs, selects, tabs and nav rows are 40px high with the 12px
radius, compact controls 32px. Tabs become a segmented control. The
sidebar widens to 240px (64px collapsed) and nav rows get more room.
Identifiers and counts in the split views use the mono face, and the
stat grid becomes separate inset tiles.

The Geist stack stays: it is bundled, and the thin look came from the
size, weight and negative tracking, not the face.

* feat(ui): separate cards, panes and floating surfaces from the canvas

Cards, the Models and Installed split panes, the composers and the
confirm dialog use a stronger card edge, the rest shadow and the 20px
radius, so they read as layers in dark as well as light. Menus and
popovers move to a float surface (the hover tone in dark) with the
float shadow.

The selected rail row gets an accent wash and a 3px accent edge. The
send buttons are a clear accent when there is something to send and a
quiet inset when not; the Home button carries data-empty for that, since
submitting an empty box does nothing. The assistant card becomes an
accent wash with a square icon.

New surfaces spec checks the pane edge, the selected row, both send
buttons and the popover in both themes. The voice library empty-state
spec now waits for the layout to settle before comparing two boxes.

* feat(ui): tidy the sidebar header and mark the current row with a dot

The header gives the configured horizontal logo a fixed width and
centres it in a 72px band, lined up with the nav icons. The collapsed
rail shows the configured icon logo centred, and its nav rows become
40px tiles centred in the 64px rail. The current row gets the kit's
accent dot, hidden in the rail.

The theme, language and account controls stay in the sidebar footer:
the app has no global search or command palette to put in a top bar, so
a bar would only hold controls that already have a place.

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

* fix(ui): centre the avatar in the collapsed sidebar rail

The collapsed avatar link was set to "flex: 0", which gives it a zero
flex basis; with min-width: 0 the link shrank to its padding and the
icon overflowed from the link's left edge, about 14px right of the
icon column. Use "flex: 0 0 auto" in the collapsed and tablet rail.

The footer controls now share the nav icon column in the expanded
sidebar too (6px footer padding, 40px control boxes), and the tablet
rail gets the same footer padding and hidden language code as the
collapsed one.

New spec measures the centre x of the nav icons, mark, avatar,
language, theme and collapse icons in the collapsed, expanded and
tablet states, in both themes, and asserts they agree within 1px.

* fix(ui): size the console and settings rails and stack settings on phones

The Operate console rail, the Settings section rail and the account tab
bar still used 13px text and the old underline tabs. They now use the
15px nav size, 40px rows and the segmented tab control. Form row labels
are 15px with 13px hints.

On a phone the Settings section rail sat beside the form and squeezed
every row into a few characters. Below 720px the rail stacks above the
content as a scrolling row and form rows wrap their control below the
label. The save button no longer carries the icon font class, which
drew a missing glyph before its label. The language menu is wide enough
to keep Bahasa Indonesia on one line.

* build(ui): update the vendored UI kit snapshot to 0.3.0

Take the 0.3.0 snapshot: the sprite now carries the full outline icon set,
and the new icons/fa-map.json maps Font Awesome names to icon ids. The map
lets the app move off Font Awesome in the following commits. The lock file
is regenerated with the new checksums.

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

* feat(ui): add an Icon component backed by the kit sprite

Icon draws an inline svg that points into the kit's outline sprite. The
sprite is inlined into the page once, so the references resolve under any
base path and in the embedded build without a request. Icons size with the
font (1em), take currentColor, hide from assistive tech unless given a
title, and spin on request. An unknown id draws a neutral circle.

FaIcon and iconFromFa resolve Font Awesome names through the kit's map,
for names that arrive at run time. iconHtml does the same for markup built
as a string. The GitHub and Apple marks are small local glyphs, as the kit
ships no brand marks.

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

* refactor(ui): draw shared components and helpers with Icon

Replace the Font Awesome elements in the shared components and in the
utility modules with the Icon component. Lookup tables now hold kit icon
ids instead of class strings. Code-block copy buttons and artifact cards,
which build HTML strings, use iconHtml and a sanitizer-safe slot.

* refactor(ui): draw model, backend and account pages with Icon

Replace the Font Awesome elements on the home, models, backends, import,
settings, login, account and users pages with the Icon component.

* refactor(ui): draw chat, studio and recognition pages with Icon

Replace the Font Awesome elements on the chat, media generation, talk and
face and voice pages with the Icon component. The talk status table keeps
its spin and pulse states as Icon props. The connected and error states
now use a dotted circle and an alert circle, so they differ from the idle
ring by shape as well as by colour.

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

* refactor(ui): draw agent, node and operate pages with Icon

Replace the Font Awesome elements on the agents, skills, collections,
jobs, fine-tune, quantize, nodes, swarm, usage, traces and activity
pages with the Icon component. Two class strings on layout elements held
leftover button and icon classes from an earlier merge; they are cleaned
up so the elements keep only their own classes.

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

* style(ui): size and align icons for the svg component

Icon rules that targeted the font element now target the svg: the
descendant "i" selectors in App.css and auth.css become ".lai-icon". The
svg is 1.2em with a 2 unit line so it matches the visual size of the old
glyphs at the 12 to 16px sizes the app uses, sits on the text baseline,
and follows the context font size. Large empty-state marks get a lighter
line. Menu icons get a 16px box and the readiness badge icons keep their
20px circle with padding. Add the pulse used by the talk status.

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

* build(ui): remove Font Awesome

No source file references the icon font any more. Drop the package and its
stylesheet import. The build no longer ships the solid, regular and brand
font files.

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

* fix(ui): keep focus traps off the svg use references

The dialog and drawer focus traps collect focusable elements with a
"[href]" selector. An icon's use element carries an href, so it became the
first "focusable" element and Tab at the end of the dialog stopped there
instead of wrapping to the first button. Match "a[href]" instead.

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

* style(ui): keep icon sizes overridable and set the line width per svg

Give the icon base rule zero specificity so a rule that sizes one icon
(nav column, menu box, avatar, language switcher) wins whatever its order
in the file. The sprite symbols fix their own line width; the inlined copy
drops it so the width set on each svg applies, as the --lai-stroke custom
property, and large marks can use a lighter line. Pin the avatar and the
language globe to the boxes the sidebar alignment spec expects. Import the
map as JSON with an import attribute so Node can load it in the spec.

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

* test(ui): select icons by the svg markup and cover the sprite

Specs that found icons by their Font Awesome class now select the svg by
its data-icon. The dead-icon audit checks that every svg resolves to a
sprite symbol and has a size. The class hygiene spec fails on any
remaining Font Awesome class. A new spec checks every mapped icon id has
a symbol, that the sprite is inlined once, that an icon paints at the root
and under a forwarded path prefix, and that Font Awesome names map as
documented.

* build(ui): update the vendored UI kit snapshot to 0.4.0

Take the 0.4.0 snapshot: hub tabs with count and attention badges, the six
chart series tokens and the grid colour in the theme contract, and sample
themes on a calmer palette. The kit headers are renamed and the lock file
is regenerated with the new checksums, as for the earlier snapshots.

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

* style(ui): switch the theme to the calm palette

Rewrite the LocalAI theme on the calm palette: a muted teal accent on a
near-neutral green-grey canvas, desaturated status colours, no glow and no
coloured shadows. The theme fills every role of the shared UI kit's 0.4.0
theme contract for light and dark, including the six chart series and the
grid line. The bridge in theme.css keeps the old --color-* names working,
adds the dark surface ladder (card, raised, float) and a strong edge, and
points the fixed data hues at the chart series.

Two values differ from the first sketch. The dark text on the accent fill is
#021512 instead of #04201d: it reads 5.58:1 on the fill at rest and 6.4:1 on
the hover fill, against 5.08:1 at rest for the lighter value. The light
control edge is #6b7d7a. The kit's contrast script passes for all text pairs
(4.5:1), control and focus pairs (3:1) and series colours (3:1).

Leftovers that no longer fit the palette are fixed: the usage chart takes
the six series colours in order, the audio and animation canvases fall back
to the new accent, the face box loses its glow, and two gradient fills are
now flat. The theme tests expect the new canvas colours.

* feat(ui): replace the console rail with hub tab bars

Build and Operate no longer open a second navigation rail beside the page.
Each is a hub: one row of the kit's hub tabs above the page, with count and
attention badges that scroll sideways on a phone. Every URL and route stays
as it was, plus a new /app/build landing page that lists the Build tools
with a line each.

Build tabs: Overview, Agents, Skills, Memory, Jobs, Fine-Tune, Quantize,
Import, Voices (recognition and library) and Faces. Operate tabs: Status,
This machine, Swarm (distributed mode only), Runtime (backends, activity,
failover), Traffic (usage, traces, middleware) and Settings (settings,
users), plus the API link. A tab that holds several pages shows a second row
of links, and a sub-page such as a node detail keeps its tab highlighted.
The feature and admin gates decide which tabs are drawn, and badges show only
values the Operate summary already has.

The sidebar lists Build and Operate under a Workspace label next to the
Create group. The voice library moves under Build and the model import page
gains the Build tab bar. The old rail styles, the rail signals and the
console config are removed, and the Operate overview docs describe the tab
bar. The specs that drove the rail now drive the tabs, and a new spec covers
the tab for each route, gating, badges and the phone layout.

* feat(ui): rebuild Home as a calm console

Home now opens on one command bar: the model chip shows which models are
warm, the MCP chip and attach buttons sit beside it, and Send is a solid
button with an Enter glyph. Typing "/" opens a grouped, keyboard-driven
action list built on the kit command list; every action has a destination
in the product.

Memory use folds into a one-line strip that opens into the loaded models,
with Stop per model and Stop all. It opens by itself while a model is being
staged and after a failure, and shows nodes and aggregate memory in a
cluster. The list of resident models carries no per-model size because the
API reports none.

"Jump back in" lists the conversations stored in the browser, one card per
day, with j and k to move, Enter to resume and delete with an undo toast.
First run keeps the install steps and the recommended models. The assistant
prompt is a dismissible line, the library links are one quiet row and the
API section is collapsed. Chat accepts an empty new-chat hand-off for /new.

* test(ui): cover the Home console

Update the Home specs for the new structure and add specs for the slash
menu, the model chip, the memory strip (expand, stop, staging, failure,
cluster), the resume list (grouping, j/k, Enter, delete with undo), first
run, the send hand-off, a non-admin user and the phone layout.

* feat(ui): add the fit, disk and cleanup helpers for the models page

Pure functions and hooks that the rebuilt Models page reads, with node
tests for the rules.

modelLedger turns an estimate and the memory budget into one of three
verdicts (fits, spills to CPU, over) with the headroom in bytes, and
reads the models disk from the resources reading. The disk counts as low
under 10 percent or under 20 GB free, and is absent when the server
reports none or runs as a cluster controller.

cleanupPlan ranks installed models from what the API reports: loaded,
pinned, or named by an agent, a task, a failover chain or an alias keeps
a model protected; another installed build of the same gallery model is a
duplicate; disabled models rank above idle ones. The API records no last
use or use count, so none is used. When a lookup fails, nothing is called
safe.

useModelRemoval holds a removal in the browser for an undo window and
sends the existing delete call only when the window ends. Leaving the page
drops the batch without deleting anything. The undo toast takes optional
labels so other pages can reuse it.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild Models as a ledger with a disk strip and cleanup review

Explore is one dense table. Each row carries the size, a solid memory bar
and the headroom in words ("3.7 free", "+1.5 on CPU", "0.9 over"), worked
out from the estimate at the chosen context length. Capability chips show
the server's count for each facet, search keeps its meaning and "/" jumps
to it, and a density switch (also "d") picks comfortable or compact rows.
Selection is a surface step and a check, never a rail. Arrow keys move,
Enter installs and Esc closes the inspector, which keeps the fit summary,
VRAM by context chart, variants, files, links, tags and licence. A failed
install shows its error in the row with a Retry that dismisses the old
failure first. A failed or empty listing says which it is, and a host with
no GPU is measured against memory and says so.

Installed uses the same table with state filters that carry counts, a
state per row, Load or Stop on the row, the row menu and the sort by size.
Sizes come from the files the gallery lists, so a model it does not know
shows a dash.

A strip in the header shows the free space on the models disk. It turns
amber under 10 percent or under 20 GB free, hides when the server reports
no disk or runs as a cluster controller, and opens the cleanup review.
Explore says how much an install leaves free.

The review ranks installed models as Safe to remove, Probably safe and
Your call from real facts only, lists protected models with the reason,
and says plainly that usage history is not recorded. A sticky bar shows
what a choice frees. Confirming runs a dry run that checks again and lists
what will go. Removal waits 30 seconds with an undo; nothing is deleted
before that, and leaving the page deletes nothing.

The old rail, filter band and popover styles are removed.

* test(ui): cover the Models ledger, Installed table and cleanup review

Update the Models, lifecycle, cluster fit, height, search focus and
surfaces specs for the table and inspector, keeping what each one checks.

New specs, on a shared 41-model gallery stub with three machine profiles:
the fit bar and headroom words for a 24 GB card, an 8 GB laptop and a host
with no GPU; facet counts, search, "/" and Escape; selection, arrow keys,
Enter to install, density; the disk strip when normal, low and hidden; and
the states (loading, empty, offline, install failed, phone). Installed
covers filters with counts, row actions, the row menu, sizes and sort.
The cleanup specs cover grouping, protected models, the honest-data note,
the effect bar, the dry run, the undo window, a failed delete, leaving the
page, and the phone sheet.

* feat(ui): add the placement helpers and the estimate hooks

The Placement section and the model page need the same few rules, so they
sit in plain functions that can be read and tested alone.

placement.js holds what gpu_layers, tensor_split and main_gpu mean (unset
asks for every layer and the llama.cpp engine trims it, zero is CPU only,
99999999 is the value LocalAI itself writes for all layers), the device
list taken from the resources reading, the split by free memory, the part
of an estimate that grows with context (read from two lengths, since that
term is linear), the fit states with their limit (95 percent of free
memory, and the leftover has to fit in system memory too), and a bisection
for the largest layer count whose estimate fits. The estimate returns one
total and no layer count, so the search runs over 1 to 256 and stops at
the first count that no longer changes it.

modelWalk.js keeps the order of the list a model page was opened from, in
memory and in session storage, for the previous and next buttons.

usePlacementEstimate reads /api/models/vram-estimate for a choice, again at
twice the context, and with every layer, and keeps readings for the
session. useModelPage reads a gallery entry by name, an estimate by
context size (from the model's own files when the gallery does not list
it), the builds and the loaded models. usePlacementConfig edits the four
placement keys of an installed model and saves only what changed.
useModelActions is the Load, Stop, disable, pin and remove logic of the
Installed table, shared with the model page. MemoryBar is one solid bar
with a tick at the capacity of its pool; over capacity it grows past the
tick and the tick turns red.

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

* feat(ui): add the Placement section to the model editor

Run this model on: CPU only (gpu_layers: 0), Auto (the key stays unset) or
Custom. Custom takes a number, has an All layers button that writes
99999999, and shows a slider only when the estimate reports the model's
layer count, which it does not today. Context size has presets and a
number field because the KV cache follows it. With two or more GPUs there
is a split (written as percentages, with a button that takes them from the
free memory of each card) and a main GPU.

A bar per GPU and one for system memory show what other programs use, the
model's weights and working memory, and the part that grows with context,
with the room left or how far over it is. Under them a verdict in plain
words: Fits in GPU, Spills to CPU, Too many layers for the GPU, Runs on CPU
only, No GPU found, Not enough memory. It says "slower" and never a
multiplier, because the estimate has none. Fit it for me asks the estimate
for the largest layer count that fits the free GPU memory and says what it
set, with Undo; it is hidden when the estimate is unavailable or the host
has no GPU. Loading shows skeletons, an unavailable estimate shows a note
with Retry, and a server that schedules onto other machines shows no bars,
because its device list is the controller's.

The editor shows the section for an installed model, with a link in its
section rail. Auto sends null for the key, since a patch only merges, and
a null read back opens as Auto. The docs describe the section and what each
mode writes.

* feat(ui): open a model on its own page

A model has an address, /app/models/<name>, for an installed model and a
gallery entry alike. Open it from the arrow at the end of a row, a double
click, "o" on the selected row, the inspector's Open details button, or a
tap on a phone. The title block holds the main action: Install with a
chevron that chooses the build, or Load and Stop with a menu (disable, pin,
edit configuration, logs, delete with a confirm). A strip answers whether
it fits, what it does and what installing leaves free.

Tabs: Overview (about, a memory bar, state, the pages it opens in, and the
agents, tasks, chains and aliases that name it); Fit and memory (verdict,
context sizes, the bar split into weights and context, and memory by
context against the limit, with a data table); Variants and files (builds
with size and fit, install any, the files of the chosen build). For an
installed model also Usage and history, which says what the API does not
record instead of drawing an empty chart, Configuration, which is the
Placement section with the file it writes and a link to the full editor,
and Logs, the backend log viewer without its page. Keys 1 to 6 switch
tabs, [ ] and j k walk the list the page was opened from, Esc or Backspace
go back.

The list stays mounted behind the page, so Back finds its view, search,
filters, selection and scroll as they were, and focus returns to the row's
arrow. The page covers loading, an unknown name with the closest matches,
the gallery being out of reach, an install in progress with Cancel, and a
failed install with Retry.

The docs describe the page and its keys.

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

* test(ui): cover the model page and the Placement section

New specs for the model page: reaching it from Explore, Installed, a
double click, "o", a pasted link and a phone tap; the walker and Back with
the search, a filter, the selection, the Installed view and the scroll
kept, and no second read of the gallery; the title block, the answer strip,
tabs by click, keys and arrows; Fit and memory, builds and files with the
install call each one makes; an installed model's actions, used-by,
the honest usage tab, configuration and logs; loading, an unknown name,
offline, an install in flight and a failed one; and the phone.

New specs for Placement: every mode and the keys it writes, the slider
only when a layer count exists, the context presets, the bars and every
verdict, two GPUs, no GPU, a cluster, an unread machine, a loading and an
unavailable estimate, Fit it for me and Undo, and the section in the model
editor with its save.

The phone tap on a row now opens the page, so the two phone specs that
expected the inspector as the page check the page and keep the inspector
check for a window between a phone and a desk.

* feat(ui): link Studio results and open workspaces from a prompt

Each workspace now records the result it was made from (parentId and an
edge kind such as take, animate or to-3d) and reads a prompt, model, size,
count and source from the query string, so one page can hand work to
another. A source result is fetched from the server's own output file and
becomes the start image, the picture for 3D, or the audio file. A note on
the page says when the source loaded or could not be loaded.

Diarization had no history; it now keeps the file name, the model and a
speaker count, never the recording. Prompts are cut at 2000 characters
when stored. The pure helpers (type suggestion, grouping, lineage layout,
favourites, clearing) have node tests.

* feat(ui): rebuild the Studio front page as a composer with your work

The front page is a prompt box with a chip per type, a type suggestion
from the words, starters, and the options each workspace accepts. Generate
opens the workspace with those filled in. A type with no model is a dashed
chip that shows a gallery model, its size, memory need and an Install
button only when picked; the typed words stay while it installs.

Under it, Your work lists results from every workspace as a masonry with
filters, counts, favourites and a Clear history action. Results made from
each other stack into a project tile and open as a lineage board with a
dock for running a new take or branching to the next step; steps the
destination cannot start from yet are disabled with the reason.

The docs describe the page, what is stored in the browser, and the query
parameters a workspace accepts.

* test(ui): cover the Studio composer, your work and the lineage view

Specs for the type suggestion, the keys, hand-off to each workspace, the
install path for a missing model, the masonry filters, favourites and
clearing, stacking, the lineage board, new take and branch, steps that
are disabled with a reason, and the phone layout. Existing Studio specs
move from lanes to chips with the same intent.

* feat(ui): add the shared Studio workspace frame and move Images onto it

The seven Studio workspaces get one layout: a row of type tabs, a compose
card (optional sources as chips, a prompt with starters, a model chip,
the essential options as chips, an Advanced fold that names what is
inside, the memory the model needs, and one action with the reason when
it cannot run), a run area, and a strip of recent results of the type.

The run area shows a job card with the time that has passed and an
indeterminate bar, because these endpoints report no phase or percentage;
a failure with what the server said and one action; or the result with a
toolbar: Favourite (the list the front page keeps), Download, Use in (the
hand-off targets, disabled with the reason when a destination cannot
start from the result), Re-run with edits (the take's values go back in
the form, changed fields are outlined and listed) and Lineage. A type
with no model shows the install note from the front page.

Images is the first workspace on the frame. It keeps its size, count,
steps, seed, negative prompt, source image and reference images, and its
history writes, including the parent link and edge of a hand-off run.
useMediaHistory.addEntry now returns the id of the entry it stored. The
docs describe the workspace page.

* feat(ui): move Video onto the workspace frame

Video keeps its size list, duration, frame rate, steps, seed, CFG scale,
frame count, negative prompt, start and end image and avatar audio.
The start and end image are source chips, the avatar audio opens the
recording and paste input from a chip, and the rest sit in the Advanced
fold. A start image from a hand-off shows as a chip with its picture.
Results play in the video player with the shared toolbar.

* feat(ui): move TTS onto the workspace frame

TTS keeps the saved-voice picker for cloning models, the typed voice for
the others, the voice library deep link, and the delivery instructions,
which now sit in the Advanced fold. The result is the waveform player
with the words under it. The stored entry also keeps the voice id so
Re-run with edits can select the same saved voice.

* feat(ui): move Sound onto the workspace frame

Sound keeps its Simple and Advanced modes and every field of both: the
description, instrumental, vocal language, caption, lyrics, BPM,
duration, key, language, time signature and think mode. The mode switch,
instrumental and duration are in the compose card, the rest in a More
options fold. The stored entry keeps all of the fields, so Re-run with
edits restores the form as it was.

* feat(ui): move Transform onto the workspace frame

Transform keeps its audio and reference inputs with upload and record,
the echo test, the key=value parameters (now in the Advanced fold), the
input and output spectra and the three waveform players. The audio that
was chosen shows before the run, waiting to be transformed. Re-run with
edits puts back the model and parameters and fetches the audio and
reference the server kept for that run.

* feat(ui): move 3D onto the workspace frame

3D keeps the picture input with paste and webcam, the animation
operations a model declares, quality and background, the shape and
material steps, guidance and seed, the GLB and animation viewers, the
remesh control and the download. A 3D result now has a title from the
motion prompt when it has no label, so the strip and the front page name
animation results by what was asked. Re-run with edits is shown disabled
with the reason, because only a small thumbnail of the picture is kept.

* feat(ui): move Diarization onto the workspace frame

Diarization keeps its model and recording inputs, the option to prepare
speakers to remember, the clean-speech previews, naming and remembering a
speaker, and the history entry with only the file name, model and
counts. The result now shows a timeline with one lane per speaker, the
talk time of each speaker, and the segments with their start time and
text. RTTM, SRT (only when the run has text) and JSON are built in the
browser from the result. The helpers for talk time, axis ticks and the
two text formats have node tests.

* refactor(ui): remove the styles and lists the old workspace layout used

Nothing renders the two-column workbench, the control column, the old

with its favourites filter, Use in with its disabled steps, Lineage, the
parent link, Re-run with edits and its list of changes, deleting and
clearing, and the hand-off note. One run through each of Video, TTS,
Sound, Transform, 3D and Diarization, the phone layout of all seven, and
reduced motion. Existing Studio specs move from the old control column to
the compose card with the same intent.

* feat(ui): rebuild the chat thread with raised user turns, prose replies and one-line activity

Your messages are raised blocks on the right at a 760 px measure and the
model's replies are plain prose under its name and a warm or not loaded
dot. Reasoning, tool calls and their results fold into one quiet line
that opens inline into steps. Code blocks carry a Copy button and a
Canvas button that opens that block in the canvas, image attachments are
thumbnails that open in the lightbox, and files are chips. Per-message
actions show on hover, on focus and on the last turn, and a turn takes
focus so the arrow keys and C, E, R and B work. A failed reply keeps the
text written so far and shows the reason with one Retry action.

The Agent chat page keeps the older rules: the new styles are scoped to
the chat page and use their own class names.

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

* feat(ui): use the Home command bar as the Chat composer

Chat now ends in the same object as Home: the model chip, the MCP chip,
a Canvas chip, the message box with attach buttons, a solid Send and the
hint line, with the slash menu on the kit command list. The slash menu
lists what Chat can do today (switch model, new chat, conversations,
manage mode, canvas, find, settings, export, clear). While a reply is
streaming Send becomes Stop, which Esc also presses, and Up in an empty
box edits your last message. Attached images show as thumbnails and a
line under the bar carries the speed and the token count.

HomeComposer takes optional props for this (extra chips, its own slash
list, Stop, paste, a stricter Enter); Home passes none of them.

* feat(ui): open conversations from a Ctrl K menu with day groups, undo and a slim header

The conversations list opens as a centred menu on Ctrl or Cmd K. It
groups chats by day like the Home resume list, shows the model that
answered and the time, searches names and message text, and moves with
the arrow keys. Enter opens a chat, F2 renames it and Delete removes it.
Removing a chat hides the row and shows the kit undo toast; the chat is
deleted for good only when the undo time ends. Rename, duplicate, copy
and export are on each row, as before.

The header is one slim bar: the Chats button, the chat name (click to
rename), a context meter when the context size is known, settings and a
More menu with rename, duplicate, copy, export, model info, keyboard
shortcuts and clear. A dialog lists the shortcuts the page answers to.

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

* feat(ui): show loaded state, capabilities and fit in the Chat model switcher

The model chip in Chat opens the same list as Home, grouped as Loaded
now and Installed. Each row says warm or not loaded and marks models that
understand images. When the list opens, the page reads the host memory
once and asks the server to estimate each listed model at the chat's
context size (up to twelve, three at a time), then shows what the model
needs and whether it fits: free memory, how much would run on the CPU, or
how far over the machine it is. A model with no estimate shows no fit
text, and no load time is shown because the API does not report one. A
memory bar closes the list.

The picker takes the model list from the page when it has one, and
useModels can skip its own request.

* feat(ui): move chat settings into a sheet and add find in chat, jump to latest and a wider canvas

Settings open as a kit sheet: the system prompt, temperature, top P and
top K (each says "model default" until it is changed and has a Reset),
the context size with quick sizes and a note that it only drives the
meter, Manage mode and Focus mode, the model info for admins with its
Edit config button, and Clear conversation behind a confirmation. The old
slide-out drawer and the model info panel are gone.

Ctrl or Cmd Shift F (or the search button, or /find) opens a search bar
over the thread. It marks matches in the messages already on the page,
shows "n of m" and steps with Enter and Shift+Enter. Nothing is sent to
the server. Jump to latest is a pill above the composer. Esc stops a
reply, then closes the search, then closes the canvas.

The canvas panel gets the kit look: tabs, a Code and Preview switch, Copy
and Download, a full-page layout on narrow windows, and translated
labels. The Agent chat page shares it and gets the same look.

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

* feat(ui): add the empty, no-model, loading and phone states to Chat

An empty chat opens with the composer under one line, starters to try,
whether the model is loaded, and the Jump back in list: the same rows as
Home, read from the chats the page holds. With no chat model installed,
an install card offers the starter models for this hardware, the gallery
and import, and the composer stays so the text is not lost.

While a reply waits for a model, a load card shows what the page knows:
the phase the server names, the node, the bytes and the time left when the
server reports them, and a progress bar. A model that is just not loaded
yet gets a plain note, with no invented phases or estimates. The foot
warns when the context is nearly full.

On a phone the header drops its labels, the model list and the settings
open as sheets from the bottom, per-message actions stay in view and the
canvas takes the whole page.

* feat(ui): rebuild Talk as a calm voice page over what the connection really does

Talk is one stage and one transcript. The stage has the pipeline chip,
the voice and language chips, an outline orb that follows the real
microphone and playback levels, a heading and a sentence for the current
state, and the controls. The transcript lists You, Reply, Tool and Result
lines and can be copied. Session settings (instructions, voice, language,
tools, Manage mode and the pipeline's parts) open in a sheet.

The states are the ones the code reaches: no pipeline model, idle,
connecting, listening, thinking (also while a tool runs), speaking, an
interrupted reply (the server cancelled it; a note marks the cut), a
blocked microphone, a link that failed during a session, and any other
error with its reason and a link to the traces. Push to talk and
hands-free are not on the page, so they are not shown. Diagnostics keep
their waveform, spectrum and stats, drawn in theme colours.

The page text moves into the talk namespace, and the old Talk and
visualizer styles and the inline-style count go down with the rebuild.

* refactor(ui): remove the chat styles and strings the rebuilt page replaced

The settings drawer, the model info panel, the bubble avatars, the
conversation menu popover, the context bar, the recent strip, the
staging bar, the file badges and the focus-mode rules have no user now.
Their rules, the Chat page's focus class and seven unused empty-state
strings are removed. The Agent chat page keeps the shared message,
sidebar and input rules it still renders with.

* docs: describe the rebuilt Chat and Talk pages

Add a Chat page under features (thread, message actions and keys, the
message box and its slash actions, the model list with loaded state and
fit, conversations on Ctrl K, settings, find, canvas and the empty,
no-model and loading states) and a Talk section to the realtime API page
with the states the page shows. Manage mode now turns on from the chat
settings or /assistant, and the client MCP steps point at the MCP chip.

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

* fix(ui): settle the rough edges of the new Chat and Talk pages

The undo toast sat under the conversations menu, so the Undo button could
not be pressed while the menu was open; the menu, the sheets and the
fullscreen canvas now stay below the toast layer. Esc in a rename box
saved the text through the blur that follows it; it now cancels. The
image viewer closed on Esc only when the page did not re-render on the
same key, so its key listener is registered once and reads the latest
handlers. Keys on a focused message no longer type their letter into the
editor they open, "/" from outside a text field starts a command as it
does on Home, and Esc leaves the page's own dialogs alone.

Code in the canvas is highlighted for languages that have no preview.
The conversations menu drops its key hints on a phone so Clear all
stays in view. Talk hides Test tone while connecting and calls a server
error "Something went wrong", since the call can still be open.

* test(ui): cover the rebuilt Chat and Talk pages

Specs for the thread layout and the activity fold, code blocks, image
thumbnails and the viewer, per-message actions and their keys, a failed
reply with its one Retry, Stop and Esc while streaming, the composer and
every slash action, the conversations menu (groups, search, resume,
rename, delete with undo that ends by itself, one chat left), the model
switcher with loaded state, vision and fit text from stubbed estimates,
the settings sheet, the canvas panel, find in chat, Jump to latest, the
empty, no-model and loading states, the phone layout and reduced motion.
Talk is driven over a fake WebRTC link through idle, connecting,
listening, thinking, speaking, interrupted, blocked, lost, error and no
pipeline, its settings sheet and its phone layout. Node tests cover the
message text helpers and the conversation grouping.

The existing chat specs move to the new structure with the same intent:
the transcript spec now describes the raised turn and the prose reply, and
the render smoke accepts Talk's own header.

* feat(ui): keep a bounded run log for agents in the browser

The server keeps no run history for an agent, so a run is one task and
the events until the agent answers, written to browser storage while the
page watches the stream: up to 50 runs per agent, task, step and answer
text only. Stored chats from the earlier agent chat page read as runs
with stable ids. A run still marked running five minutes after its last
event reads as stopped. Helpers read an agent's config into chips, build
the list of changed fields against the saved config, hide secret values
and offer starting points.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild the Agents area around runs

The Agents page shows what needs a look (work in flight, a run that
failed in the last day), then each agent with its model, attached memory
and skills, and a strip of its last 14 runs. An agent has its own page: model,
tools, memory, skills, instructions, a task box and its runs. A run has
an address, shows the thread while it works (steps folded into one line,
the tool in use, the answer as it arrives) and settles into a report
about a second and a half after the agent answers: task, outcome,
follow-ups, evidence and steps, with wide tables opening wider on demand.
A failure says in plain words what happened and offers Run again.

Create and edit fold into sections with a ready mark and a one-line
summary, start from a template or an optional model-written draft, and
open a preview sheet with the config as saved and the changes against
the saved agent. Status becomes a quiet panel in the same language, and
the old chat link opens the agent page.

There is no Stop, approval, steer, version or dry-run control, because
the agent API has no call behind them.

* feat(ui): add helpers for tasks, schedules and job outcomes

Reads a cron expression the way the server does (five fields or an @
shortcut), checks it, and puts the common shapes in words. The next run
is left out on purpose, because the schedule follows the server clock,
which the browser cannot read. Also groups jobs by day, sums the last
seven days, and gives each job one outcome line from its result or
error. A rerun call starts a new job with the same parameters and media.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild the Jobs area around runs

The Jobs page opens with one sentence about the last seven days, then
the tasks (model, schedule in words, last 14 jobs, enabled switch, Run
now) and a run history grouped by day. Each row has an outcome sentence
and opens to the error or the start of the result with one next action.
Deleting a task waits 30 seconds with an undo button.

A task opens as a page with its recent runs, its prompt with the gaps
marked and its schedule. The task form folds into sections, takes a
schedule as a preset or a checked cron expression, warns about prompt
gaps the schedule does not fill, and has a preview sheet. A job opens
as a document: task, outcome, delivery and the recorded steps; a failed
job says what happened and offers Run again.

Run now now sends attached media through the job call, which is the
only one that takes it. "Clear History" only ever cancelled running
jobs, so it is now called Stop running jobs. Webhook headers of a saved
task show as JSON instead of [object Object].

* feat(ui): add helpers that say who uses a skill or a collection

An agent loads a skill when skills are on and the skill is in its selection (an empty selection means every skill). It reads the one collection that carries its own name, when its knowledge base is on. The helpers derive that from the saved agent configs, build the config that adds or removes a skill or a collection, and estimate tokens as characters divided by four. Removing the last selected skill switches skills off, because an empty selection would mean every skill.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild Skills and Memory as one library

Skills and collections sit in a list with an open item beside it. Each row says who uses it, read from the saved agent configs, or says it is not used yet. Chat reads neither, so it is never named. An item opens in a pane with a Used by strip (names link to the agent, a small x removes it, with undo) and an Add to menu that shows what the addition costs. A collection can be added only to the agent that carries its name.

The Memory pane searches the collection alone and shows ranked passages with scores, lists web sources with their refresh interval and the files, shows the server message when an upload fails, and names the endpoints and where files stay. The Simulate a message sheet runs a collection search and shows an agent's skills with a token estimate. It runs no model. The collection details route now opens the same page.

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

* feat(ui): add helpers for the Operate status page and backend rows

Pure functions for the parts that need rules. They work out the memory
pool the page measures (GPU memory, system memory, or the workers of a
cluster that are answering), which pools are too full, the headline and
the four ledger rows, the geometry of the capacity chart, and what
removing a backend would leave without a runtime (models name their
backend, and a meta backend names the concrete one it points at). A
second set says what a backend row states: installing, queued, removing,
failed, update available, current or absent.

LocalAI keeps no memory history, so the chart reads a bounded buffer of
readings the page took itself and says so. A reading with no total is
dropped rather than drawn as zero.

Two hooks are shared by the pages that need them. One retries a failed
operation after moving the failure into the record. The other holds a
cancel for an undo window, because the server cannot take a cancel back.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild Operate Status, This machine, Backends, Activity and Logs

Status opens with one sentence ("2 things need you", or "Everything is
running") and four rows: Needs you, Capacity, Running now and Recent
failures. A row with a problem opens by itself and holds the button that
deals with it: Update a backend, Retry or Dismiss a failed operation,
Unload a model. A quiet row stays one line. A new installation gets a
first-run screen, a cluster sums the memory of the workers that are
answering, and a page still waiting for an answer says so. The chart
under the rows is drawn from readings the page took while it was open
and is labelled that way, because LocalAI keeps no memory history.

This machine leads with GPU memory as one bar, then host memory split by
running model, then VRAM, RAM, CPU and disk with a bar each. The running
models become a kit table with the same menu and stop dialog.

Backends is one list with Installed and Catalog views. A row says what
the backend is doing (a progress bar with Cancel, Queued, Failed with
Retry, Update 1.2.0, Current), carries the one button that matters, and
opens in place. Removing a backend names the models and the meta
backends that would stop working. Check for updates, Update all, From
URL and a first-run recommendation for llama-cpp are in the header.

Activity keeps its three sections as quiet rows. Cancel waits eight
seconds with an undo toast, because the server cannot take a cancel
back; a cancelled install can be started again from the record. Logs
gets a process list, a picker, stream and text filters, Follow and
Times switches, and a Clear with an undo window.

Not shown, because the API has no data for them: GPU temperature and
power, a size per backend, an earlier version to roll back to, a
dependency lookup beyond the models and meta backends that name a
backend, and models that failed to load.

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

* test(ui): cover Operate Status, This machine, Backends, Activity and Logs

New specs for the Status headline and ledger (healthy, needs attention,
one thing, a full memory pool alone, loading, first run, cluster), its
actions (Update, Retry, Dismiss, Unload with its dialog), the capacity
chart built from readings taken while the page is open and bounded, the
phone layout, no coloured edge on a row, and reduced motion.

The Backends specs cover the two views, install progress with Cancel and
its undo window, Retry on a failed install, Update, Update all, Check for
updates, removal with the models and meta backends it would break,
Install from URL, the first-run recommendation, a cluster, and a phone.
Activity gains cancel with undo, Cancel now, a second cancel, leaving the
page, progress, and starting a cancelled install again. Logs covers the
stream and text filters, Follow, Times, Export, Clear with undo, the
process picker and list. This machine covers the GPU strip, several GPUs,
no GPU and Add a machine.

Existing specs keep their intent and follow the new structure: rows open
in place instead of in a pane, Update replaces Upgrade, the notice spec
now pins that an update is a row state and not a banner or a rail, and a
cancel waits for its undo window.

* feat(ui): add helpers for the Swarm pages

Pure functions for what the pages work out from the cluster API: a node's
state in words, which nodes a placement rule may use, what a rule would
ask for, what a drain or a lost node would leave without service, the
nodes a bulk backend update reaches, and the join commands for a worker,
a peer instance and a memory shard. Hooks read the roster, the loaded
replicas and the rules.

Everything runs in the browser from data the page already holds, and
says when it cannot see free memory or disk.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild the Swarm hub: nodes, node page, placement rules, failover

Nodes is a sortable table with comfortable and compact rows, a Needs
attention filter by reason, a map of the cluster that is not drawn on a
phone, the running models, and a bulk backend update for the nodes that
drifted. A node is a page: state, vitals, a drain preview computed from
the loaded replicas and the rules, tabs for models, backends, logs and
capacity and labels, and Remove that asks for the node's name.

Placement rules are written as sentences, show where each model is
loaded now, and edit in a side sheet with a preview of the nodes a draft
could use. Deleting a rule waits a few seconds so it can be taken back.
Failover keeps its chains, adds what the router does when a worker stops
answering and a per-node preview of what would stop. Add a node covers a
registered worker, a peer instance and a memory shard, with a command to
copy and a live line that says when the machine arrived. P2P keeps its
page in the same vocabulary, and the node logs page follows the local
logs page.

Previews are labelled as worked out in the browser. Per-GPU readings and
node events are not drawn because the API does not return them. Failover
moves to Swarm when distributed mode is on. Legacy fleet components and
their styles are removed.

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

* test(ui): cover the Swarm hub

New specs for adding a node (each join method, the command, copy,

and its preview, delete with undo) and failover on a cluster. Node
detail covers its tabs, the drain preview and its dialog, resume, remove
with the typed name, a node that stopped answering, and unload.

The nodes specs follow the new structure and keep their intent: the
table, filters, grouping, pagination, bulk actions, the map, and running
models with stop, logs and the loading, error and empty states. The
scheduling, failover, P2P, hub and smoke specs follow the renames.

Pure functions for what the pages work out from the usage ledger, the
trace summary, the trace buffers and the resources reading: the shared
time window, grouping, sorting and filtering of usage rows, chart series
and axes that start at zero, the overview figures, per-model statistics,
the state of a trace and the words for a failure, the backend operations
that ran during a request, CSV export, the Prometheus metric list and
scrape config, and a bounded buffer of host readings.

A figure whose source cannot say is null, never zero. The trace summary
call takes the window in hours, and a helper reads /metrics with its
status.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild the Traffic hub: overview, usage, models, host, traces, middleware

Traffic opens on an overview: five figures (requests, failed, p95, tokens
in and out) and three charts, each naming its source. A second row of
links reaches Usage, Models, GPU and host, Traces, Middleware and
Prometheus, and one time window is shared by the first three.

Usage groups by model, user or API key, filters, sorts, opens a row on its
own chart, exports the rows it holds as CSV or JSON in the browser, and
keeps the opt-in cost estimate and the quota forecast. A user who is not
an admin sees only their own numbers. Models joins the ledger, the
backend-operation buffer and the loaded models. GPU and host shows the
current reading and two charts of readings taken since the page opened.

Traces gets filters, a settings strip and an explained off state. An API
request is a page: the error LocalAI recorded, a timeline with the backend
operations that ran meanwhile, and bodies that stay closed until revealed.
Middleware draws the pipeline as five steps and shows the rules of the
selected step. Prometheus documents /metrics, checks it against the
server and gives a scrape config to copy.

Alerts is not built: LocalAI has no alert rules. Per-model latency
percentiles, GPU utilisation and compare with the previous period are not
drawn because the API does not return them. Legacy usage, trace and
middleware styles and the usage source components are removed.

* feat(ui): rebuild Settings with groups by intent, search, a pending bar and history

The fifteen sections become eight groups by intent: memory and models,
speed and defaults, backends and galleries, access and security,
debugging and traces, agents and responses, swarm and sharing, look and
feel. Search covers names, descriptions, keys and the old section name, and
says where a result used to be.

Edits wait in a bar with Discard, Show diff and Apply. The diff lists old and
new values and the checks the browser can make: durations parse the way Go
parses them, a GPU memory budget is one the server accepts, a gallery box
holds JSON, and warnings repeat what the handler and the field text say.
Apply sends only the changed keys. Undo saves the previous values again; it is
a new save, not a rollback. History lists the changes applied from this
browser, since LocalAI keeps no settings log, and Revert stages the old value.

A value is marked as changed only where the built-in default is known from
the CLI defaults. A row says "Applies now" or "Needs restart" only where the
handler or the docs say so.

Three things were wrong before and are fixed with the rebuild: the gallery
boxes and the shared API keys box were sent under names the server ignores,
the "Enable CSRF Protection" switch showed the disable flag the wrong way
round, and every save restarted peer-to-peer networking because every field
was sent.

* feat(ui): rebuild Users and keys, Account, sign-in, invite and the 404 page

Users and keys is a tabbed page under the Settings tab: people, invites and
API keys. The people table filters by state and role, sorts, approves or
disables (disabling offers an undo that sets the status back), and opens a
side sheet for one person's features, model allow-list and limits. Role,
password reset and delete sit in the row menu; delete asks for the name.
Invites choose a lifetime of 1, 7 or 30 days and show the link once. API
keys can be created with a lifetime, are shown once in full, can be paused,
and are revoked after a ten second undo window in which nothing is sent.
LocalAI lists keys only to their owner, so the tab shows the signed-in
person's own keys and says so.

Account has Profile, Security, API keys and Usage. Usage shows the last 30
days, tokens by model and the limits an admin set. The Security tab now
shows for a GitHub or SSO account and says the password is not theirs to
change.

Sign-in asks for one field per step and draws a provider button only for a
provider /api/auth/status lists. It has the notice for a sign-up that waits
for approval, the first-admin screen, the key-only screen and the invite
page. An address outside the app now gets the 404 page too, which names the
address and lists the places the sidebar lists, with the same gates.

* test(ui): cover Settings, Users and keys, Account, sign-in and the 404 page

Settings: groups, search by name, key and old section, the changed marker
only where a default is known, apply hints, the pending bar and diff, the
checks, apply sending only changed keys, undo as a second save, discard,
history, the CSRF inversion and the gallery and API key wire forms, and the
phone layout.

Users and keys: the table, filters, sort, approve, disable with undo, the row
menu, the access sheet, invites, key creation with a one-time reveal, the
ten second revoke with undo and with a page leave, and the non-admin redirect.
Account, each sign-in variant (error, pending, first admin, key-only, invite,
provider buttons) and the 404 page have specs too. Fixtures are shared with
the screenshot scripts. Existing specs follow the new structure.

* docs: describe the rebuilt Settings, Users and keys, Account and sign-in pages

Runtime settings: the eight groups and where each old section went, search,
the pending bar, the diff and its checks, apply, undo, the history, and which
settings show a default or an apply note and why. Authentication: the
sign-in screen variants, the Account tabs, key lifetimes, the one-time key
reveal, the revoke undo window, and the fact that keys are listed only to
their owner.

* fix(ui): let the Settings undo toast stand alone and read back a generated P2P token

The saved message and the undo toast sat on the same spot at the bottom of the
page. The undo toast now carries the saved message.

A new P2P token is made by the server when the page sends 0. The page reads
it back after the save so the field shows the token and not the placeholder.

* fix(ui): fit the users table, API keys and Account figures on a phone

On a phone the users table dropped its Role and Status columns off the screen
edge with the row actions. The role and state now sit under the name, so the
actions stay in view. API key rows no longer put the key icon on a line of its
own, and the three Account figures keep one row.

* feat(ui): rebuild Voices and Faces as one identity family

Voices is one page with three tabs: Speakers (voiceprints for recognising
who is speaking), Speech voices (the text-to-speech reference library,
kept apart because it is a different store) and From a recording (a link
into the diarization workspace). Faces uses the same layout.

Who is this and Same person? give the answer in a sentence with the real
distance and cut-off, a word for how far inside the cut-off it sits, and
a distance scale with the cut-off drawn on it. The cut-off slider re-reads
the answer in the browser; the identify call sends the cut-off, and verify
uses the threshold the model returns. The old confidence percentage is
gone because it is not a probability.

The server has no list call, so the people list stays in the browser and
the page says so. After a search that asked for more people than it got
back, a saved person the server did not return is marked, and people the
server returned that the browser does not know are listed. Nothing is
claimed from a short or cut-off search.

Enrolling is a sheet: sample, name, labels, permission. A copy of the
sample in the browser is opt-in, and an administrator can also keep the
recording as a speech voice in the same step. Removing a person waits ten
seconds behind an Undo toast and sends nothing before then.

Errors say what happened (no face found, model missing, call failed), a
blocked or missing microphone is explained, and a missing model or a
missing permission renders a page that says what turns the feature on
instead of a redirect. Analyze, detect and raw embedding move under
More tools, with attribute guesses off by default.

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

* test(ui): cover the Voices and Faces pages

Specs for who is this (match, no match, working, failed, missing model),
the cut-off slider, same person, a blocked, allowed and insecure
microphone, the registry notes and the not-on-the-server marks, the
enrol sheet and its opt-in copy, delete with undo on a fake clock, the
disabled and no-permission states, the phone layout, reduced motion and
Faces. Existing library and diarization specs follow the new structure
and keep their intent. Node tests cover the distance words, scale
layout, stored list and error mapping.

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

* docs: describe the Voices and Faces pages

Add a WebUI section to the voice and face recognition pages: the two
tools, the cut-off, what the people list is and why it can be stale, the
undo window, and what is stored where. Point the Voice Library and
Fish Audio notes at Build, Voices, Speech voices.

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

* feat(ui): rebuild the Build landing, Fine-tune, Quantize, Import and Explorer

The Build landing says what each tool is for and what it needs from the
machine: the installed backend, the GPU memory, RAM and disk the server
reports, and a job that is running or the newest one when it failed. A
tool that cannot run says why and what enables it.

Fine-tune and Quantize share one page: set up, a check list that is
redrawn as the form changes, a run view with progress, stages and a log,
and a result with real next steps (export, import, chat, Models). The
checks state only what the server reports. A job needs no estimate the
server cannot make, so none is invented. Stop on a fine-tuning job asks
whether to keep a checkpoint, a failed job shows the server's message,
and a memory failure offers two changes that are applied to a copy of
the setup.

Import is a guided flow: source, review, import, done. The server
returns no preview before an import starts, so the review reads the
spelling of the source, prints the request the form will send and runs
the checks that can be made early. The estimate that arrives when the
import starts is set against free memory and disk. The ambiguity picker
and the Write YAML tab stay.

Explorer shows what GET /networks returns and lists a swarm with POST
/network/add, with a join sheet that carries the token and commands.
Build tools the account may not use say so instead of redirecting.

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

* test(ui): cover the Build landing, the tool pages, Import and Explorer

Specs for the landing (a tool ready, missing a backend, with no GPU, a
running or failed job, a feature switched off, a member without admin,
phone, reduced motion), the shared tool pattern for Fine-tune and
Quantize (set up, live checks, start request, running with progress,
chart and log, the stop choice, failure with the server message, finish
with next steps, earlier jobs, the account-disabled page, phone), Import
(source detection, review, checks, ambiguity, running with the estimate
against free memory, done, Write YAML, phone) and Explorer (list, join,
list a swarm, empty, not an explorer, retry, phone).

Existing specs follow the new structure and keep their intent. Node
tests cover the machine facts, tool status, checks, log lines, source
detection, the import request and the join commands.

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

* docs: describe the Build tool pages, the import flow and the Explorer

Fine-tuning and quantization now describe the set up, check, run and
result steps and what the check list can and cannot say. The import
section explains the review step and why the size and memory appear only
after the import starts. The distributed page describes the Explorer
list, the join sheet and what listing a swarm publishes.

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

* feat(ui): turn the hardware recommendations into a "Best for this machine" shelf

The shelf in the Models inspector put five columns into a 400 px pane,
so long model ids wrapped letter by letter underneath the size and the
memory figures. Each row now stacks the tag, the id and the size and
memory facts beside one Install button, and the id wraps inside its own
column.

Once a model is installed the shelf narrows to the best fit and keeps
the others behind a "N more that fit" toggle. Specs cover the ranking,
the layout, the narrowing and the install request against a gallery
fixture that carries the 4K estimate the shelf sizes against.

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

* fix(ui): quiet the Studio tab markers and say their state in words

The type tabs drew a saturated green dot for every modality that has a
model. The dot now uses a text colour, filled when a model is installed
and hollow when none is, and each tab carries "(model installed)" or
"(no model installed)" as hidden text so the state is not only a colour.

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

* fix(ui): stack the model editor empty state and drop its section hues

"No fields configured" sat in a flex row, so the icon, the title and
the text ran together. It now uses the stacked empty-state layout. The
section icons took a different status colour each (amber, red, green);
they now share one quiet colour, with the accent on the current section.

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

* fix(ui): keep the Home memory sentence whole on a phone and drop side rails

On a 390 px screen the memory strip clipped "2 models loaded" to make
room for the figure. The sentence now takes the first line and the
figure and device wrap under it.

The sweep also removed coloured left rails from the editor section
rail, the skill editor list, the install strip and the audio transform
notice (now an outlined note), plus unused chat rules that carried
rails and two glow animations that nothing referenced.

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

* fix(ui): line up hub pages, list the model templates, and stop clipped text

Medium-width pages inside Build and Operate were centred while the tab
bar above them was flush left, so the title started 60 px right of the
first tab. They now start at the bar's edge.

Add Model offered nine templates as a grid of identical cards with chip
clouds and inline styles. It is now one list of rows, each with the
field names it fills in on a single muted line.

Two clipped strings are fixed: the Studio voice field cut its
placeholder mid-word, and the phone job list ended the schedule line in
an ellipsis. The recommendation shelf also separates size and memory
with a dot, and the docs describe the shelf.

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

* fix(ui): keep the hidden Studio tab state inside its tab

The hidden state text added to each type tab was absolutely positioned
against the page, so on a phone it sat outside the scrolling tab row and
widened the page by hundreds of pixels. The tab is now the containing
block.

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

* test(ui): cover the on-disk sizes on the Installed table, model page and cleanup sheet

The fixtures stub GET /api/models/storage. The default report is empty,
so existing specs keep the gallery estimates. makeStorage() builds a
report from files and the models that use them, the way the server
does, and storageSpec() is a models directory with shared and missing
files.

New specs cover the Size column and its shared line, the fallback when
the call fails or the user is not an admin, the files list on the model
page, a missing file, the bytes a removal frees with shared files, and
the cleanup findings. Node tests cover the storage helpers and the
batch arithmetic.

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

* test(ui): wait for the page before pressing keys and ticking the clock

Two specs failed in loaded full runs and passed alone. The Alt+1 to
Alt+7 spec pressed a key before the composer had armed its key
handler. The capacity chart spec advanced the fake clock before the
poller had mounted, so it counted fewer readings than it expected.

Both now wait for the page to mount. The key spec retries a press that
lands during a re-render, and the clock spec advances in small steps and
polls for the row count.

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

* fix(ui): hide the Installed footer when the storage report is empty

An empty report from the storage call made the footer read "0.0 GB on
disk" next to sizes taken from the gallery estimate. An empty report
says nothing about the disk, so the footer now shows only the model
count. A spec covers it.

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

* fix(ui): keep Explore pane actions inside the pane

The inspector actions sat in a non-wrapping flex row beside the title,
so the buttons ran past the pane edge once it got narrow. The row now
takes its own line and wraps.

The primary action (Install, Retry, Open) comes first. Manage
installation becomes a ghost button, and Open details moves to the end
of the row, so one action stands out and the others are quiet. No
action or test id is removed.

Add a spec that checks, in light and dark at several widths and with a
pane forced to 320 px, that every action stays inside the pane box and
that the pane keeps its inner padding.

* refactor(ui): drop the type chips from the Studio composer

The Studio tabs and the composer's type chips listed the same seven
modes, so the page said the same thing twice. Keep the tabs as the one
place to switch modes.

The composer now shows the type it will open as a small label in its
header. The type suggestion from the typed words stays as the quiet
hint line under the prompt, and Alt+1 to Alt+7 still pick a type. The
composer root carries data-type, data-types and data-missing so tests
can read the state.

Specs pick a type through a shared Alt+digit helper and read a
missing model from the tab dot instead of a chip. Remove the unused
chip locale strings and CSS.

* refactor(ui): remove the section crumb above page titles

Page headers drew a small uppercase crumb with a short rule before it
above the title. On the hub pages it repeated the hub name, so Build
sat above a heading that also said Build.

PageHeader now renders only the title, the supporting line and the
actions. Drop the eyebrow prop, the route-derived section name, its CSS
and the unused section helper, and remove the explicit eyebrow props
from the pages that passed one. Pages stay reachable through the
sidebar and the hub tab bar.

Add a spec that checks several pages show their title with nothing
ahead of it in the header.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(ui): remove left accent rails from tiles, rows and quotes

Several surfaces marked state with a coloured strip on the left edge.
Replace each one with a cue that is not a rail:

- Stat cards lose the strip; the icon and value still carry the colour.
- The highlighted card is a raised surface with a firmer edge.
- The selected rail row is an accent wash with a hairline outline.
- The status stripe on rail items is a small status dot.
- The active failover row is a tinted row.
- Quotes in markdown and chat prose are italic instead of barred.
- The variant detail panel has a full hairline border.

Add a spec that walks the main routes in light and dark and fails on a
left border thicker than 1px, a sideways inset shadow, a narrow
absolute strip in ::before or ::after, or a narrow tall child pinned to
a left edge.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:API-assistant

* fix(router): classify images before media fetching

Preserve ordered structured probes for native decisions. Defer OpenAI
media preparation until routing selects the served model, so rejected
decision URLs cannot trigger downloads before shared validation.

Guard direct image collection with context-aware shared admission.
Keep text classifiers and embedding caches from discarding image input.
Retain fail-closed classifier configuration and runtime fallback policy.

Add middleware, typed-content, admission, cancellation and cache tests.

Count JSON escaping so oversized internal inputs fail before allocation.

Preserve typed Anthropic blocks through selected-model conversion and
fallback. Keep retry coverage in Ginkgo without global test registration.

* fix(router): bound supported probe serialization

Arbitrary structs can bypass the probe budget through pointer marshalers,
string tags, and promoted fields. Accept concrete chat schema types and
plain JSON values instead of emulating arbitrary struct serialization.

Budget escaped direct prompts before marshaling so raw length cannot hide
serialized expansion. Preserve runtime fallback and reject oversized
input before invoking the decision runner.

Add Ginkgo allocation, boundary, and marshaler invocation regressions.
Six-package tests, three-package race tests, and full-T2 delta lint pass.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:GPT-5 golangci-lint

* feat(decisions): enable bounded OpenJev images

Validate native decision images before permissive media parsing and pixel

Exercise shared image contracts through the registered HTTP routes and
external mock backend. Add opt-in cached gallery installation and real
OpenJev image decisions through SystemOne and both routing APIs.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* test(decisions): assert isolation and cache bypass

Observe external RPC calls and compare complete classifier history.
Winner-only and cache-miss checks could hide dropped history or cache use.

Give real inference its own application and model directory so shared
backend mappings and loaded processes cannot affect mixed suite order.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:ChatGPT

* test(decisions): isolate fixture globals

Disable optional global services in the isolated HTTP fixture and register
cleanup before setup assertions. Verify meter provider identity survives
fixture creation and destruction.

Snapshot observed usage before assertions so failures cannot retain the
mutex. Require a successful usage stamp before checking error responses.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5 golangci-lint

* fix(application): honor optional telemetry controls

Skip failover gauge registration when metrics are disabled. Register
against the application meter rather than looking up the global provider.

Allow embedders to retain the bounded routing log without billing stats.
Keep the existing default when stats are disabled. The isolated HTTP
fixture uses this option without losing its native router assertions.

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

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

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

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

237cf456fd feat(gallery): galleries published as OCI artifacts (#12167)
* feat(oci): pull ORAS artifacts into a directory

Galleries published to an OCI registry arrive as an ORAS artifact whose
layers carry their tree path in org.opencontainers.image.title. Nothing in
pkg/oci could read a non-image manifest, so add PullArtifact: it lays the
layers out under a destination directory and returns the manifest digest so
callers can pin and verify signatures on it.

A registry is remote input and this writes files, so the manifest is
validated before any byte is fetched. A title that is absolute, escapes the
destination or is missing is refused, an artifact of an unexpected
artifactType is refused, and both the layer count and the total size are
capped with caller-settable limits.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code]

* feat(gallery): fetch and verify galleries published as OCI artifacts

A gallery whose URL is oci://host/repo:tag is now pulled as an ORAS
artifact and its index.yaml read from the unpacked tree, alongside the
existing HTTP and file sources. Mirrors, the per-candidate timeout, the
failure cooldown and the last known good copy work the same for both
schemes, so a gallery can mirror an OCI primary with an HTTP fallback.

When the gallery declares a verification policy the artifact reference is
resolved to its manifest digest, the publisher signature is checked
against that digest, and only then is the same digest pulled. Nothing
unverified is written to disk or parsed. With strict integrity mode on,
an OCI gallery without a verification policy is refused instead of
warned about, which is what the flag already does for backend installs.

The pull lands in a staging directory that is renamed into the cache only
once the whole tree is on disk and the index reads back as an index, so a

* feat(gallery): resolve entry urls relative to the gallery root

A gallery published as a self-contained tree, which is what an OCI
gallery is, names its base configs by their place in that tree. Such a
url reached the HTTP client verbatim and no entry of the gallery could
be installed.

A scheme-less entry url now resolves against the root the index came
from: the unpacked artifact for an oci:// gallery, and the directory of
the index URL otherwise. The relative path may not climb out of that
root, reusing the guard the artifact puller already applies to layer
titles, and an entry that does is dropped from the listing rather than
failing the whole gallery. An entry that names its own scheme is
untouched, so .ref indirection and local github: resolution behave as
before.

Reading an entry of an OCI gallery also needs the unpacked artifact
directory as its trusted root, since the cache is deliberately a sibling
of the models directory the downloader otherwise confines a file read
to.

query string or fragment is refused because it can never apply and a query
string is where signed URLs carry their token. Every YAML decode error is
now redacted, not only type errors: quoted scalars such as a secret under a

* fix(downloads): make auth errors name the real cause and never retry unresolved secrets

AuthError now appends its cause, so a registry's DENIED or UNAUTHORIZED

place of the cause, because the downloader builds that cause from the
requested URL, which can carry a signed query string. Registry pulls say
that docker config credentials were tried too, and a download that carried
a caller-provided credential (WithBearerToken, or an explicit authorization
on gallery reads) reports that credential as rejected instead of blaming
the store.

The Range probe for a leftover partial file now returns an unresolved
secret as a permanent error, like the download request already did.

When docker config names a credsStore helper that cannot run, the oras

closes the request body when a rule's secret cannot be resolved, as the
RoundTripper contract requires. The redirect spec now uses a custom header
rule on the origin, which net/http would not strip on its own, to prove the
transport does not carry credentials to the next hop.

the registry serves TLS and the spec points http.DefaultTransport, which

Adira Denis Muhando 869000ceb7 fix(distributed): exclude pinned models from cluster eviction and idle scale-down
pinned: true was only honoured by the per-node watchdog. Every distributed
eviction path was pinned-blind: the router's LRU eviction (EvictLRU,
evictLRUAndFreeNode) and the replica reconciler's idle scale-down would
happily unload a pinned model — and since eviction is gated on
in_flight = 0, a pinned model became eviction-eligible the instant each
response completed. Under capacity pressure that surfaces as the backend
being freed immediately after every request (#11101).

Wire the model config loader into the router and reconciler through a new
PinnedModelResolver seam (mirroring ConcurrencyConflictResolver):

- EvictLRU passes the pinned set into FindLRUModel's query so the
  next-oldest unpinned model is selected instead of the attempt failing
- evictLRUAndFreeNode filters pinned models inside its locked selection
- scaleDownIdle skips pinned models entirely: trimming to the floor still
  means requests beyond the survivor's capacity pay a cold reload

Deliberate teardown (admin unload, model delete, node drain) intentionally
still applies to pinned models, as does dead-row reaping (state correction,
not eviction).

Regression specs verified to fail with the exclusion disabled.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 1aa97381f3 perf(gallery): warm variant descriptions alongside VRAM estimates (#11297)
Follow-up to #11288, which warmed the VRAM estimate caches at startup and left
the variant picker paying its own way.

Describing an entry's variants probes the weight files of every build it
offers, so the first time a model is opened costs 1.2-1.9s against a cold
cache. That is the same cost as an estimate wearing a different hat, and it
lands in the same caches underneath, so it belongs in the same pass rather than
in a second mechanism.

The warm-up now describes variants for the entries it walks. Entries that
declare none cost nothing: the call is gated on HasVariants rather than
attempted and discarded. The host resolve env is derived once for the run,
since it describes the machine rather than the entry.

Failure handling matches the estimate half. An entry whose variants cannot be
described is logged at debug and skipped, and the estimate for that same entry
is unaffected, because neither half is allowed to fail the other.

Measured against a live instance with 1,595 models, first ever call to
/api/models/variants/:id after a cold boot:

  before   1.2-1.9s
  after    2ms

The warm-up's own cost barely moves: 3m0s to 3m19s for 300 entries, of which
40 declared variants. It stays bounded by the same knobs, and
LOCALAI_VRAM_WARM_LIMIT=0 still turns the whole thing off.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 74b7ea2829 feat(ui): replace the gallery and inventory tables with a rail and a detail pane (#11288)
* feat(ui): rename the Install Models nav entry to Discover

"Install Models" named the action rather than the destination, and it was
the only multi-word entry in a rail of one-word ones (Home, Chat, Studio,
Talk, Build, Operate). A bare "Models" was the obvious fix but it collides
with the installed-models view under Host, which is a different page for a
different job.

"Discover" keeps the rhythm and says what the page is for. The icon moves
from a download arrow to a compass for the same reason: the page is browsed
before it is installed from.

Translated in all seven locales rather than left to fall back, so a locale
switch does not leave the entry in English.

* feat(ui): replace the gallery table with a rail and a detail pane

The eight-column table was not the real problem; the click-to-expand row
underneath it was. Variants, files and a VRAM estimate never fitted inside a
<tr>, so they were pushed into a drawer that could hold one model at a time,
could not be linked to, and had no room to say anything useful.

The gallery is now a rail to scan and a pane that answers. The pane has two
states and no third: with nothing selected it is the discovery page, and with
a model selected it is that model's detail. Selection lives in the URL, so a
model is linkable and Back steps out of the detail instead of off the page.

The rail groups by capability while browsing and flattens to results the
moment a term is typed. That is a rule rather than a toggle: once someone has
said what they are looking for, the buckets are between them and the answer,
and making the user choose would be handing them our problem.

The detail pane plots VRAM against context length with the host's own limit
drawn across it. This is new information, not a restyle. A single number
invites "so will it run?", and the honest answer is usually "yes, up to a 32k
context", which is a shape rather than a number. The estimates were already
fetched for every context size, so it costs no new request. Backends that
take no context length say so instead of being given a meaningless chart, and
a host with no GPU gets no chart at all rather than bars with nothing to
compare against.

The split-button variant menu goes with the actions column. The pane lists
every build with its backend, quantization, size, fit and a details
disclosure, each installable, which is what the dropdown was a cramped
substitute for. Its tests move onto that list; the three contracts it alone
carried (fetch-once caching, the loading state, an unfit build staying
installable) are backfilled against the pane.

RecommendedModels moves inside the pane, where it has the width to argue for
a model instead of listing one, and keeps its own dismissal and collapse.

Rail entries carry no description. Two lines is the budget and the second is
better spent on whether the thing will run; the stripped-Markdown contract
moves to the pane's lede, tooltip included.

e2e: 123 passing across models-gallery, navigation, recommended-panel,
model-artifact-operation, operations-strip and page-render-smoke. Inline

* refactor(ui): extract the split view into shared components

Discover shipped its rail, pane and detail header as private functions inside
Models.jsx. Backends and Host have the same defect and want the same shape, so
leaving them there guarantees three rails that drift.

SplitView, EntityRail, DetailHeader and StatGrid now live under
components/split/. EntityRail is deliberately data-driven: a surface maps its
own entity onto { id, name, icon, meta, stripe, groupId } and keeps its
vocabulary to itself, which is what stops the rail learning about models,
backends and loaded state all at once.

The CSS moves with it. What was .discover__rail is .entity-rail, .discover__
pane is .split-view__pane and so on, because a class named after one page is a
lie on the next two. Only what is genuinely Discover's stays behind the old
prefix: the shelves, the hero and the VRAM-by-context chart.

Two additions the shared rail needs and Discover did not: a state stripe, for
surfaces read by condition before they are read by name, and an empty label.
Discover passes neither.

No behaviour change. e2e 100 passing across models-gallery, navigation and
models-recommended-panel.

* feat(ui): put the backend gallery on the split view

Same defect as the model gallery, so the same shape: a seven-column table over
a click-to-expand row that was the only place the repository, licence, tags and
links could go.

The rail groups backends by the use case they serve, sharing Discover's
taxonomy on purpose: a backend is the runtime a use case needs, so "vision"
ought to mean the same thing one level down. It flattens on a query for the
same reason it does on Discover.

The zero state is the one real departure. A backend's fitness is not free
memory, it is the accelerator and platform it was built for, so the pane leads
with what this host is, then what is not installed yet, then whether anything
installed has gone stale. The table listed 37 runtimes and left "which of these
can even run here" entirely to the reader.

Distribution moves into the pane, which is the one thing a row could never
carry: which nodes hold a copy and which do not, with the install-on-more
control next to it rather than squeezed against a chip.

The distributed and target-node action logic is unchanged, including the guard
that keeps a hardware-specific build off the fan-out path. The split-button
popover loses its per-row anchoring because there are no rows; one pane, one
anchor.

Selection lives in ?backend=, preserving the ?target= scope rather than
clobbering it.

e2e: 139 passing across models-gallery, navigation, backends-management,
models-recommended-panel, nodes-per-node-backend-actions, page-render-smoke,
operations-strip and model-artifact-operation. The backends spec gains six
split-view tests; its three description-cell tests move onto the pane lede.

* feat(ui): put the Host inventory on the split view

The last of the three surfaces, and the one that is not a catalog. Both tabs
had the same click-to-expand row, so the shell transfers; what does not
transfer is the zero state, because there is nothing to discover in your own
inventory.

With nothing selected the pane reports what is happening: how many models are
loaded, what failed, what has an update, and which models are holding VRAM
right now. Every number was already on the page. None of them had been
assembled into one statement, so "what is going on" was a question the tabs
could not answer however long you looked at them.

The rail buckets by state rather than capability - Running, Idle, Disabled for
models; Update available, Installed for backends - which is the opposite of the
galleries and deliberately so: nobody opens Host wondering which of their
models does vision. Entries carry a state stripe for the same reason.

Load and Stop are promoted out of the kebab, because that is what an operator
came for; the rest stays behind the menu rather than diluting it. Adopted,
pinned and alias badges follow the model into the pane: they are facts about
the thing, not about its state, and the rail line is spent on state.

Deliberately NOT done: folding the two tabs into one rail, as the mock had it.
It costs five URL parameters, the manage-tab localStorage key and the
stat-card shortcuts, all of which are live deep-links today. The tabs stay as
the group selector; merging them is a follow-up with its own migration.

e2e: full suite 355 passing. New host-split-view spec; alias-template,
manage-logs-link, manage-action-menu-position and model-editor-back-nav move
off `.table` and the row kebab onto the rail and the pane.

* polish(ui): accessibility and consistency pass over the three split views

Findings from a pass over what the previous four commits actually shipped,
rather than what they were supposed to.

The rail was not a listbox. ARIA lets a listbox contain options and groups,
and nothing else, but each group's collapse control is a button that has to
sit inside the scroller with the entries it folds. It is now a labelled group
of buttons, which is the honest description; selection is announced with
aria-current and the arrow keys are unaffected.

Every entry was its own tab stop, so tabbing past a forty-entry rail to reach
the pane took forty keystrokes. Roving tabindex makes the rail one stop, and
arrowing now moves focus with the selection instead of leaving it behind on an
entry Tab can no longer reach.

The rail rounds its corners with overflow:hidden, which was clipping the focus
ring off the first and last entries entirely. Inset outlines fix it.

A 30px row is fine under a mouse and too small under a thumb, so coarse
pointers get a 44px target without costing density on a desktop.

One slot said three different things: "9 models loaded" on Discover, "12
loaded" on Backends, "3 of 9" on Host. All three lists are a page of a larger
set, so all three now say so the same way.

Also removed: an emptyLabel prop on EntityRail that nothing passed, its dead
CSS rule, and MODELS_COLSPAN and ResourceRowDesc, which died with the tables.

e2e: full suite 355 passing.

* fix(ui): correct three defects only a real gallery exposed

Running the branch against a live instance with 1,595 models and 1,017
backends, rather than against mocked fixtures, surfaced three things the e2e
suite could not.

Grouping did nothing. The rails matched on the use-case keys the filter chips
send (`chat`, `tts`, `transcript`), but those are a server-side vocabulary the
handler maps onto entries. What entries actually carry is free-form and
inconsistent: models come back tagged `llm`, `gguf`, `vision`, `coding`, and
backends `LLM`, `text-to-text`, `audio-transcription`. Nothing matched, so
every model landed in "Everything else" and the feature was decorative.

Grouping now lives in utils/entityGroups.js, shared by both galleries, matching
case-insensitively against the vocabulary the API really uses, with the entry's
backend as a fallback signal - a backend named `whisper` is a speech backend
whatever its tags say. Order is specific before general and that is
load-bearing: a vision model is tagged `llm` too, so testing text first would
swallow it.

The zero state claimed GPU memory on a machine with no GPU. The resources
endpoint reports system RAM in the same field when gpu_count is 0, so the hero
read "84.4 GB of GPU memory" next to the recommendations panel correctly
saying "No GPU detected". The number was never wrong, only its label; it now
says system memory unless a GPU is actually present.

The page title still said "Install Models" under a nav entry saying Discover.

Also: the keyboard test named the model it expected to arrive at, which made it
a hostage of the grouping table and broke the moment the buckets were fixed. It
now asserts that the selection moves and returns.

e2e: full suite 355 passing.

* fix(ui): the filters and the rail were fighting over the same job

Four things you find odd on Discover, and they turn out to be one mistake seen
from four sides.

The rail grouped the current page. The listing is paginated at nine rows, so
those bucket headers described nine entries out of 1,595, and turning a page
reshuffled the sections under the reader. The structure was never stable
because it was computed over the wrong set.

The chips were redundant for the same reason, seen from the other side. They
send tag= and filter all 1,595 server-side. The rail grouped nine of them
client-side by the same axis. Two controls for one job, and the weaker one was
the one this branch added, so it goes. Grouping stays only on Host, where the
list is complete, local, and bucketed by state rather than capability.

The search bar felt odd because it sat in a full-width band while the thing it
narrowed was a 290px rail below and to the left. The whole band now lives in
the rail column: search, backend, use cases, refinements, then the list it
narrows. One column to say what you want, one to show what you got. Nineteen
chips do not fit at that width, so they fold into a disclosure that states the
selection. A disclosure and not a popover, deliberately: picking use cases is
multi-select and interleaves with the backend select and the toggles below,
and a popover dismisses itself the moment you touch either.

The header held two counts and two buttons at arm's length from all of it. The
counts were the third statement of the same number on one screen, after the
rail's "9 of 1,247" and the pane's own headline, so they go. The buttons move
into the pane's zero state, which is the surface that answers "what do I do
here".

Also: the two first-run empty states wore .loading-center, which is
display:flex in the default row direction because it exists to centre one
spinner. With four children that put the icon, the heading, the sentence and
the buttons on a single line with no gap. They are now a proper full-height
empty state.

e2e: full suite 353 passing. Grouping tests are replaced by ones asserting the
rail stays flat; chip tests open the disclosure first; two filter-layout tests
that asserted the old three-band arrangement now assert the column.

* polish(ui): make Discover a full-height view, group the chips, name the refinements

Four things, all of them the same complaint: the page read as a document with
controls scattered on it rather than as one view.

The header is fused. A title block with its own padding, a subtitle and two
counts made the split view look like an attachment to a document that happened
to sit below it. It is now a slim bar carrying the title, the count and the two
page-level actions, and the split fills the rest of the window. Rail and pane
scroll independently, so the filters and the pane's headline stay put while a
long list moves under them.

The chips group. Nineteen in a flat row is a lot to scan even behind a
disclosure, and they already belong to the four families the rest of the UI
speaks, so they are bucketed by those. "All" sits on its own above them without
a heading, because it is a reset rather than a use case.

The refinements stop looking dumped. When the band became a column they were
three controls left where they landed; they now read as a named section with
one control per row.

The zero state suggests again. It had decayed into a "Browsing / 9 of 1,247 /
select a model" line that restated the count for the third time on one screen.
It now offers the four use cases as tiles that set the filter, which is the
shelf idea from the mock without inventing curation or paying for a second
fetch.

Two bugs found by looking at it rather than at the tests: the disclosure was
clamped to 190px, which cut it off partway through its third section so two of
the five never appeared at all; and the creation actions rendered twice, once
in the new bar and once in the pane hero a few pixels away.

e2e: full suite 353 passing. The chip-row test now holds its contract across
the per-family rows rather than a single one, and additionally asserts every
family is present and non-empty.

* fix(ui): pin the split view's height so a long detail scrolls the pane

Selecting a model with a long description grew the whole page and dragged the
rail down with it, which is the opposite of what "full height" was supposed to
buy.

The flex chain was right and the ceiling was missing. .app-layout and
.main-content are min-height:100dvh, which is a floor: flex distributes free
space but nothing caps growth, so a pane taller than the viewport expanded the
column, the document scrolled, and the rail stretched to match. height:100% on
the pane then resolved against an auto-height parent and did nothing.

The chat route already solves this by pinning .main-content to 100dvh. The
same treatment now applies to any route containing a .page--app, selected with
:has() so the shell does not have to learn which pages happen to be split
views. Below the stacking breakpoint the pin is lifted, because two stacked
halves in two short scrollers is worse than a page that scrolls.

Measured on a live instance: document height stays at the viewport across
selection (950px either side) and the pane overflows internally instead.

Adds discover-height.spec.js, which asserts the page height and the rail height
are unchanged by selection and that the pane is the thing that scrolls. The
existing specs could not have caught this: they mock short descriptions, and
the bug only appears when the pane has more content than the viewport holds.

e2e: full suite 355 passing.

* feat(ui): give Backends and Host the full-height view, and fix the Update button

Backends now matches Discover: the header fuses into a slim bar carrying the
title, the count and the page-level actions, the filters move into the rail
column where they narrow the rail and nothing else, and the split fills the
window. Its seven chips fit at rail width, so unlike Discover's nineteen they
need no disclosure. Host gets the bar and the height; its resource monitor,
summary cards and tabs stay above the split, because those are read once while
the rail and the pane are worked in.

Two things the height change surfaced.

The console layout is a flex row with align-items:flex-start, so its body sizes
to content. Right for the pages it was built for, wrong for a split view, which
needs a ceiling to scroll inside: without it the Backends rail ran past the
viewport and over the footer. Pinned with :has() so only split-view routes are
affected.

The filters vanished when nothing matched. Both galleries swapped the whole
shell for an empty state, which took the search box and the chips with it, so
the page said "try adjusting your search or filters" while offering neither.
The shell now stays and the empty state moves into the pane.

Also fixes the Update control on Host, which had no className at all and
rendered as bare text, next to a status span that had picked up btn classes and
two copies of `fas` and so rendered as a button you cannot press. They have
swapped appearances back.

e2e: full suite 355 passing. The render-smoke selector learns .view-bar__title,
since the pages it checks no longer all use PageHeader.

* fix(ui): keep the view mounted while searching, and bring rail grouping back

Searching replaced the whole view with a loader. The search box lives in the
rail column, so every debounced refetch unmounted the field being typed into
and dropped its focus with it. The list, the filters and the pane went too.

The shell now stays and the rail says it is busy: a sweep bar under its header
and the stale list dimmed, so the eye knows the answer is being replaced
without losing its place. A cold start still gets the skeleton, because there
is nothing to keep.

The condition for that is "nothing has loaded yet", not "the list is empty".
Those differ exactly when someone is editing a query that matched nothing, and
getting it wrong there would unmount the view on the keystroke after a
no-results search - the worst possible moment.

Grouping comes back on both galleries. It was removed because nine rows could
not fill five buckets, so a page turn rebuilt the rail's whole structure. That
was a symptom of the page size rather than of grouping: the rail now asks for
30 rows instead of 9 (Backends 60 instead of 21), which is enough for the
sections to read as structure and turns five times fewer pages. The order of
the sections is fixed, so what changes between pages is membership, not
arrangement.

Grouped while browsing, flat while searching, as before: once a term is typed
the buckets stand between the reader and the answer.

Also gives GalleryLoader a class and a testid instead of six inline style
declarations on a bare div, which is why nothing could select it.

e2e: full suite 359 passing, including a new spec asserting the search box
keeps its focus and its value across a refetch, and that a cold start still
shows the skeleton.

* perf(gallery): stop invalidating the VRAM estimate caches on every request

Searching or turning a page felt slow. It was not the search and not the
listing: /api/models answers in 3-9ms. It was the VRAM estimate, which the
gallery asks for once per row, and which took ~2.3s every single time however
often the same model was asked about.

pkg/vram already caches what makes that expensive - the remote content-length
probes, the GGUF metadata reads and the HF repo sizes. Those caches key on a
gallery generation counter, and AvailableGalleryModelsCached triggered a
background refresh on every call, with each refresh bumping the counter. One
page view is one listing request plus thirty estimate requests, each of which
re-read the gallery and started another refresh, so the generation moved
constantly and every cache entry was stale before it could ever be read. The
caches were dead in production.

Three changes, each doing one thing:

A refresh interval. The cached list is still served immediately; this only
decides how often re-fetching from upstream is worth starting. Five minutes,
as a package variable so tests can drive it without waiting.

A generation bump only when the gallery actually changed. An unchanged gallery
re-fetched on schedule must not throw away work that is still valid, which is
the difference between an estimate costing nothing and costing a network round
trip.

A separate "loaded" flag. The cache engaged on `cached != nil`, so a gallery
that legitimately holds nothing read as never-loaded and took the blocking path
on every call, bumping the generation each time. Found by the test for the
interval, which could not pass while this was true.

Measured against a live instance with 1,595 models:

  one estimate, repeated     2.3s  -> 2ms
  a page of 30, in parallel  10s   -> 0.04s

A first, genuinely unseen model still costs its remote probe. That is inherent;
what changed is that it is now paid once per model per gallery version rather
than once per request.

* perf(gallery): warm VRAM estimates at startup, and stop the UI waiting on them

Two halves of the same complaint: the gallery stalls on VRAM estimation.

Server side, the estimates are now warmed in the background at startup.
Estimating an entry nobody has asked about costs a remote probe of its weight
files, and the gallery needs one per row, so the first visitor was paying for
the whole page. The warm-up walks the gallery in the order the UI lists it, so
the first page is ready before anyone reaches it.

It is bounded and it never blocks: 300 entries at 4 at a time by default, on
its own goroutine, stopping with the server's context. Warming the whole
gallery would be thousands of probes on every boot, which is rude to the
upstream and slow to finish; warming nothing leaves the first page paying two
seconds a row. Anything past the limit still warms itself on first view.
LOCALAI_VRAM_WARM_LIMIT=0 turns it off for an air-gapped host,
LOCALAI_VRAM_WARM_CONCURRENCY=1 slows it for a metered link.

Client side, the page no longer waits on estimates it does not need yet. It
fired one request per row at once; a browser allows about six connections per
host, so thirty estimates took every slot and the request behind a click - the
variant list, an install - queued behind work nobody asked for. That is the
freeze: the list was already usable, and the UI was busy fetching sizes. Four
at a time leaves room for the interactive request to overtake, and a row whose
estimate is still in flight says "sizing…" rather than leaving a blank where a
number will appear.

buildEstimateInput moves to core/gallery as EstimateInput, since the handler
and the warmer both need it.

Measured against 1,595 models, from a cold boot:

  page 1, 30 estimates in parallel   10s -> 0.04s
  full warm-up (299 of 300 entries)  3m, in the background

* chore: untrack data/.local_user_id and ignore the runtime data dir

`local-ai run` writes its instance state under ./data when started from the
repo root, which is exactly what a contributor testing a build does. The
identity file ended up committed on this branch by a `git add -A` while

Anchored, so it matches the runtime directory at the repo root and not a
`data` directory nested inside some package.

* feat(llama-cpp): route Score through the slot loop

Score previously bypassed the slot loop with a direct llama_decode: a
conflict guard aborted the whole process if scoring raced generation, the
config validator had to reject score alongside chat/completion/embeddings,
and every candidate re-decoded the full shared prompt.

Add SERVER_TASK_TYPE_SCORE to the (patched) upstream server so score tasks
are scheduled like any other slot work: generation and scoring serialize
naturally, the shared prompt is decoded once per call, and the slot's
prompt cache carries the conversation prefix across calls. Context
checkpoints at the score boundary and at the cache-divergence point keep
SWA/hybrid/recurrent models (e.g. LFM2.5) from re-prefilling the whole
prompt per candidate: warm-turn scoring on a 6-option set drops from ~8s
to ~0.5s on a desktop CPU.

The conflict guard and the validation split are removed; declaring score
with generation usecases on one config is now supported and shares the
slot cache.

turn is prefill-scored against the option list (router.ScoreClassifier

machinery. Below-threshold turns take the configured fallback (none /
canned reply / generate); empty transcripts and unaddressed turns (wake
word not mentioned) skip scoring entirely. The scoring probe defaults to
the latest user message only — small scorers echo canned replies from
prior turns back as the top option otherwise.

Built for hardware that can afford prompt processing but not decode: with
slot-based Score the option list stays KV-cached across turns, so a turn
costs roughly one forward pass over the new words.

session_update_error events now carry the validation cause instead of a
generic message.

* fix(realtime): bound the VAD tick's scan window and buffer retention

The VAD tick loop re-scanned the entire input buffer every 300ms and only
trimmed it on zero-segment ticks or commits. Audio that keeps producing
segments without a committing pause (steady noise a mic pipeline lets
through, music, continuous speech) grew the buffer toward the 100MB cap
with each tick rescanning all of it — O(n^2), measured at ~3.3ms of silero
per buffered second: past ~90s retained, ticks run back to back and pin
~4 cores until the stream stops.

Silero's recurrent state only carries a few hundred ms of context, so
rescanning old audio buys nothing. Clip the slice handed to the VAD to the
largest silence the commit test can need to measure (server_vad silence
window or the semantic eagerness fallback) plus a warm-up margin, and
rebase the returned segment times so every downstream consumer keeps
whole-buffer coordinates. An open turn whose clipped window is all silence
now commits (the silence outran the window) instead of being discarded as
no-speech. Independently, retain at most 90s of raw buffer, rebasing the
live-feed and EOU cursors on trim — this also bounds the previously
unbounded VAD-error path. Turn boundaries are otherwise unchanged: no
forced commits, no new coordinator states.

pipeline.turn_detection.vad_window_sec can widen the scan window; values
below the automatic floor are ignored. The tick body is extracted into
vadTick so specs can drive turn detection synchronously (same shape as
classifySoundWindow); the babble reproduction that pinned 4 cores now
plateaus under 10% of one core.

* perf(llama-cpp): score all candidates in one batched decode

One scoring call is now a single SERVER_TASK_TYPE_SCORE task: the slot
decodes the shared prefix (prompt + longest common candidate token
prefix) once, then forks one sequence per candidate off it
(metadata-only for the unified KV cache, copy-on-write for recurrent
state) and decodes every candidate's unique tail in one llama_decode.
Previously each candidate was its own task that restored the boundary
checkpoint and re-decoded its full tail sequentially, paying
per-candidate task and decode overhead.

The context reserves SERVER_SCORE_FORK_SEQS extra sequence ids (and
recurrent-state cells) beyond the parallel slots via the new
common_params::n_seq_score_forks. Forking requires the unified KV cache
(already this backend's default) since per-sequence streams would shrink
n_ctx_seq; an explicit kv_unified:false disables forking and Score calls
that need it fail cleanly. Candidates beyond the fork/output budget
decode in successive chunks.

Wire contract and scores are unchanged: per-token logprobs are stitched
from the shared region and the forked tails. Verified bitwise
deterministic call-to-call and independent of candidate order (no
cross-fork leakage via equal-length candidate swap); ranking matches the
per-candidate implementation on the drone battery (winner softmax
0.99996 vs 0.99997), and >16-candidate chunking, prefix-of-another and
empty candidates all pass.

Measured on a desktop CPU: warm /api/score calls 0.52s -> 0.23s; warm
realtime classifier turns 196-303ms. The 9-candidate drone turn decodes
~17 unique tail tokens in one batch instead of nine sequential ~220ms

* feat(realtime): classifier argument slots via constrained completion

Hybrid classify-then-complete: a classifier option's canned tool call can
declare typed argument slots (number | enum | string, with defaults and
prompt hints) referenced as "{{name}}" in the arguments template. When
the option wins, the slots are filled by a short grammar-constrained
completion that continues the exact scoring prompt — rendered by the same
cached ScoreClassifier, so the llama.cpp prompt cache is already warm —
with the chosen route JSON re-opened at the first slot field. A GBNF
grammar pins the field skeleton and frees only the values; temperature 0,
a couple dozen tokens at most (~300ms on a desktop CPU for two slots).

Slot declarations and hints ride the option descriptions in the shared
system prompt, informing scoring and the fill alike at no per-turn token
cost. The localai.classifier.result event carries the final arguments and
a fill_latency_ms. On inference failure the slots' defaults apply; a slot
without a default fails the response (or falls through with
fallback.mode: generate). Slot filling requires completion alongside
score in the scoring model's known_usecases.

Verified end-to-end on the Pi drone demo: "fly forward three meters" in
distance mode classifies forward and infers {"distance": 3, "units":
"meters"} in ~310ms, and the drone flies exactly 3 units.

* feat(realtime): prewarm the classifier scoring prompt on registration

Swapping a session's classifier option list (a voice-switched command
mode, for instance) made the next turns pay a full re-prefill of the new
option-list prompt — measured 2.4s vs 0.3s warm on a desktop CPU, and
worse: on hybrid-memory models like LFM2.5, whose state cannot be
partially rewound (llama.cpp can only restore checkpoints), *every*
probe change re-prefilled from scratch whenever the last checkpoint
missed the probe boundary, so even same-list turns intermittently cost
full prefills.

Registering an option list (pipeline seed or session.update) now fires a
best-effort background prewarm: two throwaway scores with distinct
probes. The first prefills the new option-list prompt; the second,
diverging exactly where per-turn probe text starts, plants the backend's
rewind point (KV checkpoint) at the stable-prefix boundary that every
real turn reuses. The prewarm hides behind the canned mode-switch reply
— by the time it finishes speaking, the cache is warm. Idempotent per
option set, detached from the registering request's lifetime.

Measured on the drone demo (LFM2.5-1.2B, desktop CPU): first turn after
a mode switch 2374ms -> 340ms; intermittent same-list full prefills
(1.3-2.1s) all -> under 0.5s. For clients that swap lists frequently,
options: [parallel:2] on the scoring model additionally keeps one slot
per list via prefix-similarity routing (+26MB RSS, unified KV).

* perf(llama-cpp): checkpoint scoring at the caller-declared stable prefix

Hybrid-memory models (LFM2.5 shortconv, Qwen3.5 deltanet — where new
small models are headed) cannot rewind their state, so any prompt-cache
reuse that needs a rewind falls back to a full re-prefill. For classifier
scoring that meant every probe change re-processed the whole option-list
prompt: the server's checkpoints were placed reactively (at wherever the
previous task happened to diverge), so a checkpoint past the next
divergence was erased rather than restored — measured as intermittent
2-10s turns on prompts with a 95%+ common prefix.

The classifier now computes the probe-invariant prompt prefix once (the
byte-wise common prefix of two synthetic probe renders) and declares its
length with every Score request; the server maps it to a token boundary
and forces a KV checkpoint exactly there on each score prefill. That
checkpoint sits at or before every future divergence under the same
option list, so it always survives and always restores — repeat scoring
costs probe+candidates regardless of how the probe changes.

Also:
- prewarm reruns on every option-list registration instead of memoizing
  per list: with boundary checkpoints a redundant rewarm costs two
  probe-sized decodes, while skipping one after a slot eviction (three
  lists sharing fewer slots evict in LRU cascades) silently moves a full
  re-prefill onto the user's next turn
- new llama.cpp backend option rs_seq:N exposes bounded recurrent-state
  rollback outside speculative decoding; measured impractical for
  deltanet-scale states (65GB for 64 snapshots on Qwen3.5-4B) but cheap
  insurance for small-state models
- docs: the multi-list recipe (parallel:N + sps:0.5 — the default slot
  similarity threshold funnels distinct lists onto one slot)

Measured on the drone demo (LFM2.5-1.2B scorer, desktop CPU), steady
state: every turn 285-421ms including mode switches, vs 2.4s post-switch
and intermittent 1.3-2.9s re-prefills before.

pos-ei-don 06b4a29387 docs(config): document grpc.attempts timing + tuning guidance (#10868)
The gRPC configuration table only listed the two fields with a one-line
description each, without defaults, without explaining what the total
load window looks like, and without hinting when a user should adjust
them. In practice the default 20 attempts x 2 s = 40 s window is way
too tight for large NVFP4 / FP8 models on slow storage or first-run
CUDA-graph capture, and the resulting kill (exitCode=120, 'context
canceled') looks like a backend crash even though the backend is still
making legitimate forward progress.

Extend the section with:
- Defaults column (20 and 2) added to the table
- Prose explaining that these govern the readiness handshake between
  LocalAI and a freshly spawned backend (Health polling loop)
- Total-load-window formula
- Concrete failure signature so users can recognize a timeout-kill
  vs. a real backend crash
- Example configuration for a ~10 min cold-load window (grpc.attempts
  140, attempts_sleep_time 5), with a note that inference-timeouts and
  the watchdog are unaffected.

reporting RAW total/available VRAM and never sets the xsysinfo
process-global budget (that stays standalone-only); the server resolves
and enforces the budget uniformly (Task 6).

Also closes a Task 6 gap: on re-registration, a struct Updates zero-skips
an empty budget, so a worker that dropped LOCALAI_VRAM_BUDGET left the
stale cap in place. For non-admin-override nodes the budget columns are
now force-written (map Updates) even when empty, so removing the env var
clears the cap; admin overrides are preserved unchanged.

The GPU-branch aggregate returned by GetResourceInfo is sourced from
GetGPUAggregateInfo, which already caps total/free/used against the
process-wide VRAM budget. GetResourceAggregateInfo then applied the
budget a second time. For an absolute budget this is idempotent, but for
a percentage budget b.Apply resolves the ceiling as a fraction of its
input total, so a second pass yields P*(P*T) instead of P*T and distorts
UsagePercent (read by the memory reclaimer in pkg/model/watchdog.go).

Remove the redundant second application so the budget is applied exactly
once, against the raw physical totals, upstream in GetGPUAggregateInfo.

Richard Palethorpe eb32cd9073 feat(realtime): eager blocking pipeline warm-up + /backend/load API (#10662)
Realtime sessions previously lazy-loaded each pipeline sub-model (VAD,
transcription, LLM, TTS) on first use, so every cold session paid a
per-request model-load stall and load errors only surfaced mid-stream.

Warm the whole pipeline eagerly and blockingly at session start
(including the voice-gate speaker-recognition model, which an enforced
gate blocks each utterance on; compaction's summary_model stays lazy
since it only runs off the response path):
- Add backend.PreloadModel / PreloadModelByName as the single load path
  for every modality (no transcription special-case; backend-omitted
  configs are deprecated).
- The realtime session blocks on Model.Warmup and returns a
  model_load_error to the client if any stage fails to load;
  updateSession warms in the background. Opt out per pipeline with
  pipeline.disable_warmup, exposed as a UI toggle via the
  config-metadata registry.

Add a LocalAI-native POST /backend/load (and /v1/backend/load) that
pre-loads a model -- expanding realtime pipelines into their sub-models
-- as the inverse of /backend/shutdown. There is one preload engine
(backend.PreloadStages): the realtime Warmup methods, /backend/load and
the --load-to-memory startup flag all use it, so --load-to-memory now
also expands pipeline models and records load-failure traces. Pipeline
sub-model alias resolution is likewise shared
(ModelConfigLoader.LoadResolvedModelConfig). Surface the endpoint
everywhere an admin manages models:
- MCP admin tool load_model (httpapi + inproc clients, safety/catalog
  prompts, catalog/dispatch tests).
- "Load into memory" action in the React models UI.
- Swagger regenerated; docs moved to the general backend-monitor page
  since it is not realtime-specific.

Fix a Traces UI crash ("json: unsupported value: -Inf"): audio-snippet
RMS/peak now floor at a finite dBFS, and backend-trace data is sanitized
to drop non-finite floats before marshaling. The sanitizer is
copy-on-write -- it runs on every RecordBackendTrace, so containers are
only re-allocated on the paths that actually changed.

Migrate core/http/openresponses_test.go onto the prebuilt mock-backend
the rest of the http suite already uses -- it was the last spec still
pointing at a real HuggingFace model, so it 404'd wherever no vision
backend was built -- and fix its item_reference specs to send the
spec's "id" field instead of "item_id", which the handler never
accepted.

Move all three termination/padding blocks to the end of params_parse,
after both the named-option loop and common_params_parse have pushed
their real entries. Also widen the exit()-flag skip list so --version,
--license, --list-devices and --cache-list cannot terminate the backend.

Richard Palethorpe 3fa7b2955c feat(pii): NER tier engine — privacy-filter.cpp backend + NER-centric PII filter (#10360)
Squashed feat/pii-ner-tier-engine rebased onto master (was 45 commits; see
backup/pii-ner-tier-engine-prerebase). Net change:

- privacy-filter.cpp: standalone GGML engine for the openai-privacy-filter
  PII/NER token classifier, wired as a LocalAI gRPC backend (CPU/CUDA/Vulkan).
  TokenClassify moves off the patched llama.cpp path onto this backend.
- PII filter reworked to be NER-centric (encoder/NER detection tier scanning
  whole conversations as one document), with a recreated bounded restricted-
  regex secret-matching pattern detector tier alongside it (per-model
  pii_detection.builtins / .patterns + core/services/routing/piipattern).
- Detection labelled by source (ner vs pattern); backend trace / confidence /
  debug observability; analyze/redact exposed as a synchronous API.
- Instance-wide default detector policy + per-usecase default-on; request
  filtering extended to completions, embeddings, edits & Ollama.
- React UI: NER-centric PII editor, detector-models table, pattern/builtins
  editor, middleware default-policy UI.
- Gallery: privacy-filter-multilingual token-classify model + NER install
  filter; token_classify known_usecase; batch sized to context for NER models.
  privacy-filter backend registered in the backend gallery (cpu/vulkan/cuda-13
  meta + image entries with a capabilities map) matching its CI matrix jobs,
  and an /import-model auto-detect importer (PrivacyFilterImporter, narrow
  privacy-filter GGUF detection) replacing the prior pref-only registration.

Reconciled against master's independent evolution:

- Dropped master's PIIPatternOverrides feature (global-pattern runtime
  overrides + /api/pii/patterns API + runtime_settings.json persistence). The
  per-model NER + pattern-detector design supersedes it; it was built on the
  global redactor pattern set this branch replaced.
- Reverted the llama.cpp Score carry-patch (0006-server-task-type-score):
  removed the patch and restored master's grpc-server.cpp Score RPC (direct
  llama_decode, slot-loop bypass) and LLAMA_VERSION pin, plus master's
  model_config validation forbidding score + chat/completion/embeddings on
  llama-cpp. token_classify is unaffected (it runs on the privacy-filter
  backend, not llama-cpp).

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto e837921c2c feat: forward reasoning_effort to the backend so jinja models honor it (#10184)
* feat: forward reasoning_effort to the backend so jinja models honor it

reasoning_effort was only mapped to the binary enable_thinking toggle and
otherwise reached Go-side templates — it was never sent to the backend. So
jinja-templated models whose chat template keys on reasoning_effort (gpt-oss
Harmony, LFM2.5) could not be driven by it: LFM2.5 ignores enable_thinking and
kept emitting <think>.

Forward the effective reasoning_effort to the backend as a chat_template_kwarg
(mirroring enable_thinking) in grpc-server.cpp, and put it in PredictOptions
metadata (gRPCPredictOpts). Add a config-level default: ModelConfig.reasoning_effort
and Pipeline.reasoning_effort, resolved by ModelConfig.ApplyReasoningEffort
(request value overrides config default, none->disable / level->enable, an
operator's reasoning.disable wins). request.go now uses that helper.

* feat(realtime): set the pipeline LLM's reasoning_effort

Apply Pipeline.ReasoningEffort to the pipeline's LLM config when the realtime
model is built (per-session copy, overrides the LLM's own reasoning_effort),
and surface the resolved effort on the template input so Go-templated models
get it too. jinja models receive it via the backend metadata. This lets a
realtime pipeline disable thinking on models that only honor reasoning_effort
(e.g. LFM2.5), which enable_thinking can't.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 4a2cc64d07 feat(reasoning): honor per-request reasoning_effort on chat completions (#10082)
The OpenAI `reasoning_effort` field only reached the prompt template; it
never toggled the backend's thinking. Map it onto
ReasoningConfig.DisableReasoning (which becomes the enable_thinking gRPC
metadata) in the request merge, so reasoning_effort="none" disables
reasoning per request: the use case from #10072 (run a single Qwen3-style
model and turn reasoning off for low-latency tasks while keeping it on
for others).

Effort levels (minimal/low/medium/high) enable thinking unless the model
config explicitly disabled it (reasoning.disable: true wins and is never
re-enabled by a request); "none" always disables.

Closes #10072

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 959de86761 feat(llama-cpp): make server-side prompt cache work by default (#9925)
Aligns LocalAI's llama-cpp gRPC backend with upstream's auto-on prompt
cache path so repeated system prompts (agents, OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible
CLIs, coding assistants) skip prefill on subsequent calls without any
YAML changes. Reported in #9921.

Upstream's server enables `kv_unified=true` (and bumps `n_parallel` to 4)
when slot count is auto, which unlocks `cache_idle_slots`. LocalAI
hardcodes `n_parallel=1` and so far also hardcoded `kv_unified=false`,
which silently force-disables idle-slot saving at server init. The host
prompt cache was allocated but never written across requests.

Changes in backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp:
- params.kv_unified: false -> true (single-slot path now benefits from
  the prompt cache; users can opt out with `kv_unified:false`)
- params.n_ctx_checkpoints: 8 -> 32 (match upstream default)
- params.cache_idle_slots = true initialized explicitly (upstream default)
- params.checkpoint_every_nt = 8192 initialized explicitly (upstream default)
- New option parsers: cache_idle_slots / idle_slots_cache,
  checkpoint_every_nt / checkpoint_every_n_tokens

Docs:
- features/text-generation.md: fix misleading `cache_ram` description
  (it's the host-side prompt cache, not the KV cache), document the
  kv_unified + cache_ram + cache_idle_slots interaction, add rows for
  the two newly-exposed options, and add a worked example for the
  agent/CLI workload from the issue.
- advanced/model-configuration.md: mark the legacy `prompt_cache_path`
  / `prompt_cache_all` / `prompt_cache_ro` YAML fields as unused by the
  llama-cpp gRPC backend (they target upstream's CLI completion tool
  and are not consumed by grpc-server.cpp) and point readers at the
  new prompt-cache explainer.

Closes #9921

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto d77a9137d8 feat(llama-cpp): bump to MTP-merge SHA and automatically set MTP defaults (#9852)
* feat(llama-cpp): bump to MTP-merge SHA and document draft-mtp spec type

Update LLAMA_VERSION to 0253fb21 (post ggml-org/llama.cpp#22673 merge,
2026-05-16) to pick up Multi-Token Prediction support.

No grpc-server.cpp changes are required: the existing `spec_type` option
delegates to upstream's `common_speculative_types_from_names()`, which
already accepts the new `draft-mtp` name. The `n_rs_seq` cparam needed
by MTP is auto-derived inside `common_context_params_to_llama` from
`params.speculative.need_n_rs_seq()`, and when no `draft_model` is set
the upstream server builds the MTP context off the target model itself.

Docs: extend the speculative-decoding section of the model-configuration
guide with the new type, both load paths (MTP head embedded in the main
GGUF vs. separate `mtp-*.gguf` sibling), the PR's recommended
`spec_n_max:2-3`, and the chained `draft-mtp,ngram-mod` recipe. Also
notes that the upstream `-hf` auto-discovery of `mtp-*.gguf` siblings is
not wired through LocalAI's gRPC layer.

Agent guide: short note explaining that new upstream spec types are
picked up automatically and that MTP needs no gRPC plumbing.

* feat(llama-cpp): auto-detect MTP heads and enable draft-mtp on import + load

Detect upstream's `<arch>.nextn_predict_layers` GGUF metadata key (set by
`convert_hf_to_gguf.py` for Qwen3.5/3.6 family models and similar) and,
when present and the user has not configured a `spec_type` explicitly,
auto-append the upstream-recommended speculative-decoding tuple:

  - spec_type:draft-mtp
  - spec_n_max:6
  - spec_p_min:0.75

The 0.75 p_min is pinned defensively because upstream marks the current
default with a "change to 0.0f" TODO; locking it here keeps acceptance
thresholds stable across future llama.cpp bumps.

Detection runs in two places:

  - The model importer (`POST /models/import-uri`, the `/import-model`
    UI) range-fetches the GGUF header for HuggingFace / direct-URL
    imports via `gguf.ParseGGUFFileRemote`, with a 30s timeout and
    non-fatal error handling. OCI/Ollama URIs are skipped because the
    artifact is not directly streamable; the load-time hook covers them
    once the file is on disk.
  - The llama-cpp load-time hook (`guessGGUFFromFile`) reads the local
    header on every model start and appends the same options if
    `spec_type` is not already set.

Both paths share `ApplyMTPDefaults` and respect an explicit user-set
`spec_type:` / `speculative_type:` so YAML overrides win. Ginkgo
specs cover the append, preserve-user-choice, legacy alias, and nil
safety paths.

* fix(importer): resolve huggingface:// URIs before MTP header probe

`gguf.ParseGGUFFileRemote` only speaks HTTP(S), but the importer was
handing it the raw `huggingface://...` URI directly (and similarly for
any other custom downloader scheme). Live-test against
`huggingface://ggml-org/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-Q8_0.gguf`
exposed this: the probe failed with `unsupported protocol scheme
"huggingface"`, was caught by the non-fatal error path, and the MTP
options were silently never applied to the generated YAML.

Route every candidate URI through `downloader.URI.ResolveURL()` and
require the resolved form to be HTTP(S). After the fix the probe
successfully reads `<arch>.nextn_predict_layers=1` from the real HF
GGUF and the emitted ConfigFile carries spec_type:draft-mtp,
spec_n_max:6, spec_p_min:0.75 as intended.
