mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto e55cc3e2a7 fix(worker): bound the gRPC port allocator and stop leaking dead backends' ports (#10968)
The worker's gRPC port allocator grew monotonically with no upper bound:
nextPort started at the base port and incremented whenever freePorts was
empty, and nothing checked 65535. Past that it handed out integers that
cannot be bound, surfacing as an opaque "backend won't start".

#10961 estimated this needed ~15,000 concurrent-peak allocations, i.e.
effectively unreachable. It is not, because of a second defect: the
"process died unexpectedly" branch in startBackend deleted the process
map entry without releasing its port at all. That port was leaked, never
quarantined and never reused. A crash-looping backend leaks one port per
restart, so a backend dying every 30s walks 50051 to 65535 in about five
days. The leak, not concurrent peak, is the realistic route to exhaustion.

Fixing the leak alone would have been wrong. Releasing that port makes it
re-bindable, and the death path is the one teardown path with no
request/reply to carry StoppedProcessKeys back to the controller (#10952's
eager row removal), so a stale NodeModel row could then resolve to a live
listener belonging to a different backend. probeHealth verifies liveness,
not identity, so the request is silently misrouted. The 15s port
quarantine does not cover this: the only reaper is the per-model health
check at ~45s, and it can be disabled outright. The residual was masked
only because the port was never rebound.

So both are fixed together:

- The allocator takes an explicit [basePort, LOCALAI_GRPC_MAX_PORT] range
  and returns ErrNoFreePort naming the range, the live backend count, the
  quarantined count, and the knob to raise. Exhaustion is now diagnosable
  instead of surfacing as an unbindable port.

- Released ports carry per-key affinity: a port is offered back to the
  process key that last held it before any other key. Process keys
  (modelID#replica) and NodeModel rows (nodeID, modelName, replicaIndex)
  are isomorphic, so a port that can only be re-bound by its previous
  owner can only ever be named by that owner's row, which that key's
  re-registration overwrites. Misrouting to a different model becomes
  impossible by construction rather than by racing the quarantine timer.

Affinity is a preference, not a reservation: under range pressure an owned
port is stolen with a warning, because a guaranteed outage is worse than a
rare misroute window on a port long out of quarantine. Claiming a port
evicts its previous owner's entry, keeping ownership injective over ports
so the affinity map can never exceed the range width regardless of how
many distinct model keys the worker sees.

Ownership also expires. It is only load-bearing while a controller row
could still name the port, which the per-model reaper bounds at roughly
45s, so it lapses after five minutes and the port becomes ordinary free
space again. Holding it indefinitely would have made every distinct model
the worker ever served consume a port permanently: every release path is
keyed, so nothing would ever be unowned, the allocator would climb to the
end of its range on distinct-key count rather than concurrency, stealing
would become routine, and the steal warning would tell operators to widen
a range that was not the constraint. With expiry, reaching the steal
branch means the worker is genuinely out of concurrent capacity, so that
advice is correct when it appears.

Closes #10961

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto f735cb24c0 fix(worker): reap deleted backends and stop models that live on a worker (#10956)
* fix(worker): reap deleted backends and stop models that live on a worker

Three related backend-lifecycle defects, all reachable from the same
production incident on a Jetson/Thor worker: a deleted backend's gRPC
process survived ~40 minutes with its directory removed from disk, a later
model load was routed to that orphan and failed with a certifi path pointing
into the deleted directory, and the admin could not stop the model because
the frontend reported it as not loaded.

1. backend.delete orphaned the process it claimed to delete
------------------------------------------------------------
s.processes is keyed by `modelID#replicaIndex` (buildProcessKey), so the
backend name never appeared in a key and was recorded nowhere on the
process. backend.delete resolved its target via isRunning/stopBackend, whose
prefix path only matches a bare *modelID* - a delete keyed on a backend name
resolved to zero keys, the stop silently no-op'd, and the files were removed
out from under a live process.

The install fast path then handed that orphan back out: it returns any live
process for the (model, replica) slot without checking which backend started
it, so a reinstalled variant inherited the deleted backend's port.

- Record backendName on backendProcess, threaded installBackend ->
  startBackend.
- Add resolveProcessKeysForBackend, matching the recorded name and resolving
  alias <-> concrete via ListSystemBackends *before* DeleteBackendFromSystem
  erases the metadata that carries the alias. Alias resolution failure
  degrades to name-only matching so a delete never fails on it.
- backend.stop goes through resolveStopTargets, which accepts a backend
  name, a model name, or an exact modelID#replica key. Its payload field is
  named "backend" but is published with all three meanings: the admin UI
  sends a backend name, UnloadRemoteModel sends a model name, and the
  router's abandoned-load reap (#10948) sends an exact replica key.
  Narrowing it to backend names alone would strand the latter two.
  backend.delete stays strict - its identifier is unambiguously a backend.
- Gate the install fast path on processMatchesBackend so a slot held by a
  different backend is restarted rather than reused. Processes with no
  recorded name (pre-upgrade) are accepted, so rollout does not restart
  every running backend.
- stopBackendExact reports a real stop failure - the process still being
  alive afterwards, which is precisely what finishBackendStop already
  detects to keep the entry and its port reserved - and backend.delete no
  longer replies success when it knew about a process and could not kill it.
  "No process was running" stays a success but is logged, so the orphan case
  is visible rather than silent.

2. /backend/shutdown reported a running model as missing
---------------------------------------------------------
ModelLoader.deleteProcess short-circuits on a miss in this replica's
in-memory store. In distributed mode the authoritative record of "is this
model loaded" is the shared node registry: a frontend replica that never
served the model itself (load balancer picked a peer, or the replica
restarted) has no local entry. The remote unload path that pkg/model
documents ("when ShutdownModel is called for a model with no local process,
UnloadRemoteModel is called") sat behind that short-circuit, unreachable in
exactly the case it exists for. #10865 reworked this function but kept the
short-circuit at the top, so the gap survived that refactor.

- deleteProcess consults the remote unloader on a local-store miss, via a
  shared unloadRemote helper so this branch and the existing
  no-local-process branch both prefer #10865's RemoteModelContextUnloader,
  preserving force propagation across the distributed boundary.
- UnloadRemoteModelContext reports ErrRemoteModelNotLoaded when no node has
  the model; it previously returned nil, making a no-op stop
  indistinguishable from a real one. The converse case (nodes have it, none
  could be stopped) already errors since #10865 joined the per-node
  failures, so that half of the original fix was dropped as redundant.
- Only when the model is absent locally AND cluster-wide does the endpoint
  report not-found, now 404 naming both scopes rather than a bare 500.
- modelNotFoundErr becomes the exported ErrModelNotFound so the HTTP layer
  can map it without string matching; watchdog's identity comparison becomes
  errors.Is.

3. Coverage for the bounded Free() that #10865 shipped untested
----------------------------------------------------------------
The original branch also bounded the pre-stop Free(), but #10865 landed that
fix first (workerBackendFreeTimeout, applied in both stopBackendExact and
handleModelUnload). That production change is therefore DROPPED here as
superseded - master's version is strictly better, since it also releases the
supervisor mutex across the call and keeps the port reserved until
termination completes.

What #10865 did not ship is a test, and the bound is load-bearing: the
router-side reap in #10948 sends backend.stop for an abandoned load, and
against a wedged backend an unbounded Free would swallow that stop before it
reached the process. Nothing failed if the bound regressed.

The spec stands up a real gRPC backend server whose Free handler never
returns - what a Python backend looks like when its single worker thread
(PYTHON_GRPC_MAX_WORKERS=1 on 37 backends) is occupied by a stuck LoadModel.
A stub socket is not sufficient and was tried first: without a completed
HTTP/2 handshake, gRPC's own ~20s connect timeout ends the call, so that
version passed against the very bug it targets. With the connection READY,
only the caller's deadline can end it, so the spec hangs to its 60s limit if
the timeout is removed and passes with it.

Its fixture process is deliberately never started. go-processmanager v0.1.1
writes Process.pid from readPID() without synchronization, so a live process
races its own monitor goroutine under -race - reproducible with a bare
Run()+Stop() and unrelated to this spec. Since
scripts/model-lifecycle-conformance.sh runs this package with -race and is
fail-closed, starting one would turn that gate red on an upstream defect. An
unstarted process still proves the point: the stop is reached and the slot
released, which is exactly what an unbounded Free prevents.

Verified: make lint (new-from-merge-base origin/master) reports 0 issues;
scripts/model-lifecycle-conformance.sh passes all three stages including the
FizzBee liveness check (1458 states, IsLive: true).

* fix(distributed): keep remote unload idempotent, ask presence separately

2035a4d25 made UnloadRemoteModel return ErrRemoteModelNotLoaded when no node
holds the model, so ShutdownModel could answer 404 instead of a misleading
500. That narrowed a shared adapter contract to serve one caller and broke
the documented idempotent-unload guarantee, which CI caught on PR #10956:

  [FAIL] Node Backend Lifecycle (NATS-driven) > NATS backend.stop events
         should be no-op for models not on any node [Distributed]
         Expected success, but got: model not loaded on any node

The spec name states the contract outright. The matching unit assertion was
updated in that commit; this e2e one was missed because it lives under
tests/e2e/ with no build tags and does not run in package-scoped test runs.

Caller audit - who breaks when an idempotent unload becomes an error:

- pkg/model/watchdog.go:902 (LRU memory reclaimer) is the serious one. It
  untracks a model ONLY when shutdown returns nil or ErrModelNotFound. A new
  error type means the model is never untracked, so the reclaimer keeps
  re-selecting the same entry and never reclaims - a live wedge whenever a
  local store entry outlives the remote model.
- core/services/galleryop/managers_local.go:43 (DeleteModel) would warn on
  every deletion of an already-unloaded model.
- core/services/modeladmin/{state,config,remote_sync}.go stop instances
  best-effort against models that are frequently not loaded.
- deleteProcess itself: the no-local-process branch returns the unload result
  directly, so a stale local entry for a model no longer on any node turned a
  previously-successful cleanup into a failure.

Only ShutdownModel wants the distinction, and only on the local-store-miss
path. So the distinction moves to the caller instead of the contract:

- UnloadRemoteModel/UnloadRemoteModelContext return nil again when no node
  has the model, and ErrRemoteModelNotLoaded is removed.
- New optional RemoteModelPresenceChecker (HasRemoteModel) answers the
  question directly. deleteProcess consults it BEFORE unloading, because an
  idempotent unload cannot report afterwards whether anything was stopped.
  Absent locally AND cluster-wide is the only case that reports 404.
- A failed registry lookup is surfaced rather than reported as absence: an
  unreachable registry is not evidence a model is gone, and answering a
  confident 404 off a failed lookup is how an operator gets told a running
  model does not exist.
- Unloaders that predate the extension keep working - deleteProcess attempts
  the unload rather than refusing it - and compile-time assertions in the
  nodes package now pin all three optional interfaces, since both are
  consumed by runtime type assertion where drift degrades behavior silently
  instead of failing the build.

The contract is now pinned at both levels that disagreed, each spec pointing
at the other: "with no nodes returns nil" in unloader_test.go and "should be
no-op for models not on any node" in node_lifecycle_test.go.

Verified: full distributed e2e suite 233 passed / 0 failed (the suite that
failed 232/1 in CI); pkg/model and core/services/nodes green; make lint
new-from-merge-base reports 0 issues.

* fix(distributed): drop replica rows when a worker stops a backend

A worker returns a stopped backend's gRPC port to its allocator as soon as
the process is confirmed dead, and hands it to the next backend that starts.
The controller's NodeModel row for the old address survives, and both
SmartRouter.probeHealth and the HealthMonitor per-model probe verify
liveness, not identity, so once an unrelated backend binds the recycled port
the stale row passes every check and the request is served by the wrong
backend instead of failing.

backend.delete is newly able to trigger this: before #10956 a delete never
actually stopped a process, so it never recycled a port. backend.upgrade has
the identical gap and always did — upgradeBackend force-stops every process
using the binary and starts none back up, while
DistributedBackendManager.UpgradeBackend never removes rows. model.unload is
the one path that gets this right today: it calls RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas
straight after StopBackend.

Report the process keys the worker terminated on the delete and upgrade
replies, and drop the matching rows in RemoteUnloaderAdapter, which already
holds a ModelLocator with RemoveNodeModel. All three call sites funnel
through that adapter, so no new interface, DB migration, or proto change is
needed. A key is reported only once its process is confirmed gone, so the
list stays trustworthy on the partial-failure replies too.

Old workers never populate the new fields. ReportsStoppedProcesses tells
"stopped nothing" apart from "does not report", so an old worker's silence
falls back to the pre-existing probe-based staleness recovery instead of
being mistaken for a completed cleanup.

Quarantine released ports for a short window as an interlock covering the
NATS round-trip between the worker freeing the port and the controller
dropping the row. It is deliberately not derived from HealthCheckInterval:
that cadence is operator-tunable and the per-model reaper can be disabled
outright, so coupling a worker-local constant to it would be silently wrong
on some clusters. Eager row removal is the fix; the delay only closes the
handoff gap.

Identity verification in probeHealth was considered and rejected: Health and
Status carry no backend identity, so it needs a proto change plus an
implementation in 36 Python and 4 C++ Health servicers, it is fail-open for
any backend not yet rebuilt, and the probeCache short-circuit means it would
not even execute during the 30s window where the misroute happens.

* chore(deps): bump go-processmanager, assert real backend termination

go-processmanager wrote Process.PID from readPID() with no synchronization
while its own monitor goroutine cleared the same field on exit, so a bare
Run()+Stop() tripped the race detector without any concurrent access from
the caller. LocalAI hit this on every backend stop.

Upstream fixed it in a94e2b7 by guarding PID with a mutex and adding
CurrentPID() as a race-safe accessor. The exported field was kept to avoid
a breaking change but is now deprecated: a direct read still races the
monitor. No tag carries the fix yet, so pin the pseudo-version.

GetGRPCPID reads through CurrentPID() instead of the field. The accessor
returns the same string under an RLock, so the empty-PID and strconv error
paths are unchanged; it is the only direct field read in the tree.

With the race gone, the Free-timeout spec no longer has to leave its
fixture process unstarted. It now runs a real child and asserts the child
genuinely exits, which is exactly what the earlier workaround gave up: the
spec could show the stop was reached and the slot released, but not that
SIGTERM ever landed. Termination is observed through Done(), which closes
only once the library has waited on the child. The pidfile-based liveness
helpers cannot serve here, because Stop() deletes the pidfile while
releasing the handle and so reports "not alive" even if no signal was sent.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto fb4c61d1c9 fix(distributed): configurable remote model-load timeout, and reap the load when it times out (#10948)
* fix(distributed): make the remote LoadModel deadline configurable

The router hardcoded a 5 minute gRPC deadline for the remote LoadModel
call. Staging finishes before the timer starts, so those five minutes
cover only the worker backend's own checkpoint load and pipeline init.
A cold load of meituan-longcat/LongCat-Video-Avatar-1.5 (~83 GB) on an
ARM64 Thor worker fails at exactly 302s with DeadlineExceeded while the
backend process is still making progress (CPU time accumulating, RSS
moving as weights are mapped), so the load was cut short rather than
wedged.

Add LOCALAI_NATS_MODEL_LOAD_TIMEOUT / --model-load-timeout mirroring the
existing backend-install timeout knob, defaulting to 5m so unset
clusters keep today's behaviour.

The cold-load hold ceiling (which bounds how long one load may hold the
per-model advisory lock) was derived from the install timeout alone, so
raising the load deadline past it would have been silently clipped.
Derive it from both budgets via ModelLoadCeilingFor:

    max(install + load + 5m staging margin, 25m)

With the defaults that is 15m + 5m + 5m = 25m, identical to the previous
constant, and the 25m floor means shrinking either budget can never
tighten the ceiling below what clusters relied on before.

* fix(distributed): reap the abandoned replica when a remote load times out

The gRPC deadline on the remote LoadModel call only cancels the client
side. A backend blocked in a synchronous weight load never observes its
cancelled handler context, so when scheduleAndLoad gave up it left the
worker loading with nobody waiting for the result.

Observed on an ARM64 Thor worker loading LongCat-Video-Avatar-1.5: the
client returned DeadlineExceeded at 302s, and the backend process was
still alive 30 minutes later having pulled ~57GB from HuggingFace. Every
retry stacked another multi-GB loader on the worker; they had to be
reaped by hand via POST /api/nodes/:id/models/unload.

Send backend.stop for the exact `modelID#replicaIndex` process key we
just abandoned. The exact key matters: a bare model ID stops every
replica on that node, including healthy ones serving traffic.

Only a deadline or cancellation triggers the reap. Any other LoadModel
failure is the backend answering, which means its handler returned and
the process is idle - stopping it there would discard a warm process and
its downloaded weights. The reap is best-effort and never replaces the
load error the caller is waiting on.

The `modelID#replicaIndex` format was already hand-rolled in two places
(the worker's buildProcessKey and pkg/model's log store). Rather than add
a third, export model.BackendProcessKey from pkg/model, the lowest common
dependency of both sides.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 626ae4d51e fix(model-artifacts): materialize longcat-video on the controller, and support companion repos (#10949)
* fix(model-artifacts): materialize longcat-video checkpoints on the controller

longcat-video loads a checkpoint directory: its backend.py takes
request.ModelFile when os.path.isdir(request.ModelFile) and otherwise
falls back to snapshot_download. That places it in the same class as
transformers/vllm/diffusers/sglang, but the allow-list added in #10910
did not enumerate it, so PrimaryArtifactSpec returned no managed
artifact for a bare HuggingFace repo id.

The consequence in distributed mode: nothing was acquired on the
controller, ModelFileName fell through to the raw repo id, and staging
skipped the resulting phantom /models/<owner>/<repo> path. The worker
received a blank ModelFile, fell back to request.Model, and downloaded
~83GB from HuggingFace inside the remote LoadModel deadline - so the
load could only ever fail with DeadlineExceeded while an abandoned
backend process kept downloading.

Note this materializes the full repository. The backend restricts its
own snapshot_download with allow_patterns, and the avatar repo ships
both base_model/ and base_model_int8/ where only one is ever loaded;
inferred specs have no way to carry patterns today. Tracked separately.

* fix(distributed): warn when staging skips a non-existent model path

stageModelFiles logs "Staging model files for remote node" up front, then
silently drops any path field that does not exist on the controller. The
skip itself is legitimate and must stay: a backend outside
managedArtifactBackends that takes a bare HuggingFace repo id gets an
optimistically constructed path (ModelFileName falls through to the raw
model reference) that was never materialized, and sources its own weights
on the worker. Erroring would break those configs.

But at debug level the operator is left with a reassuring staging line and
no trace of the skip, so a genuine controller-side acquisition gap is
indistinguishable from a healthy pass-through - it surfaces much later as
a remote LoadModel timeout, on a worker that is quietly downloading tens
of gigabytes. Raise the skip to warn and name the field, path, node and
tracking key. Behavior is unchanged.

* feat(model-artifacts): allow a config to declare companion artifacts

A composed pipeline needs more than one HuggingFace snapshot.
LongCat-Video-Avatar-1.5 loads its own transformer but takes the
tokenizer, text encoder and VAE from the separate LongCat-Video base
repo, so a single-artifact config cannot express it and the backend is
left to fetch the second repo itself at load time.

Widen the artifact model to target: model plus any number of named
target: companion entries. Normalize accepts the new target and
constrains a companion name to [a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63} because that
name is the option key the backend later receives; a companion may not
claim primary_file, which only means anything for a load target.
ModelConfig.Validate requires exactly one primary and requires it first,
since Artifacts[0] is what ModelFileName, size estimation and staging all
resolve from.

Both acquisition paths now loop instead of touching index 0 alone:
preloadOne for an already-installed config, bindPrimaryArtifact for a
gallery install. Failure policy differs by provenance. An inferred
primary keeps its warn-and-fall-back, because the legacy download path
still exists for it. Companions are explicit by construction, so they are
all-or-nothing: a config naming one is asserting the backend needs it,
and failing at the acquisition boundary is far more legible than a
missing-weights error surfacing later inside the backend.

The cache key is deliberately unchanged. It hashes source identity only,
never name or target, so every already-installed managed model still hits
its existing snapshot instead of silently re-downloading. Two specs pin
that: one proving a companion and a primary with identical sources agree
on the key, and one pinning the digest of a known primary outright.

* feat(model-artifacts): hand resolved companion snapshots to the backend

A materialized companion is useless until the backend can find it, and
its location is a content-addressed cache key that does not exist until
the artifact resolves. A static gallery override cannot carry that, and
persisting it into the config YAML would rot the moment a re-resolve
produced a new key.

Synthesize it instead at load time: each resolved companion becomes
"<artifact name>:<snapshot path>" in ModelOptions.Options, reusing the
key:value convention backends already parse for options like
attention_backend. The value stays relative to the models directory so a
remote worker can resolve it under its own ModelPath once staging has
rewritten the model root. An option the author set explicitly always
wins, so pinning a companion to a local checkout still beats the managed
snapshot.

longcat-video resolves base_model through ModelPath, the same convention
qwen-tts, voxcpm, outetts and ace-step already use for companion assets.
Its sibling-directory heuristic is deleted: it looked for a LongCat-Video
directory next to the model, which cannot exist under the content
addressed .artifacts/huggingface/<key>/snapshot layout, so it was dead
code the moment the model became managed.

The gallery entry declares both repositories and restricts each with
allow_patterns. The avatar repo ships base_model/ and base_model_int8/
and only ever loads one, so fetching the whole repo would roughly double
the download. The patterns match the entry's own options (use_distill
true, use_int8 default false); enabling use_int8 here also requires
adding base_model_int8/**, which is called out in the entry.

* fix(distributed): stage managed artifact trees from the models root

Staging anchored the worker's models directory on the primary snapshot
whenever a model was managed, so a companion snapshot could not reach the
worker at all.

frontendModelsDir was derived by stripping the Model relative path off
the end of ModelFile. For a managed artifact nothing matches: ModelFile
is .artifacts/huggingface/<key>/snapshot while Model stays a bare
HuggingFace repo id, so the strip was a no-op and the "models directory"
came out as the snapshot itself. Two consequences, both silent. Staging
keys lost the .artifacts/huggingface/<key>/snapshot prefix, so two
snapshots of one model were indistinguishable on the worker. And a
companion, which lives in a sibling snapshot directory outside the
primary, fell outside that directory entirely: StagingKeyMapper.Key
collapsed its files to bare basenames and resolveOptionPath could not
resolve the relative option at all, so it was skipped without a word.

Derive the models root from the artifact tree instead when the path runs
through it, and compute the worker's ModelPath from the file's path
relative to that root rather than from the Model field. The legacy layout
is unaffected: where Model really is the relative path, the new
derivation reduces to the old one, which a regression spec pins.

This deliberately changes an invariant that router_dirstage_test.go
pinned: for a managed primary, ModelFile and ModelPath were both the
snapshot directory, and staging keys were relative to it. Now ModelFile
is the snapshot, ModelPath is the models root above it, and keys keep the
full relative path. That spec is updated rather than accommodated, with
the reasoning recorded inline, because the old invariant is exactly what
made a sibling companion unreachable.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto b19afb192a fix(distributed): backend discovery hid GPU-only backends behind the controller's capability (#10947)
* fix(backends): list backends runnable on worker nodes in distributed mode

GET /backends/available filtered the gallery against the system state of
the host serving the request. In a distributed deployment that host is the
controller, which typically has no GPU, while the GPUs live on worker
nodes. Any meta backend whose capabilities map lacks a "default" (or "cpu")
key was therefore dropped from the listing entirely — longcat-video,
vllm-omni, ltx-video, parakeet, edgetam and qwentts were invisible in the
UI even though installing them by name on a GPU worker worked fine.

Workers now report their own meta-backend capability at registration and
the controller persists it on the node row. The controller cannot derive
it: OS-dependent capabilities (metal, darwin-x86, nvidia-l4t) and the CUDA
runtime refinements are only observable on the worker. Nodes registered
before this field existed fall back to a coarse capability derived from
their GPU vendor and VRAM.

Backend discovery then evaluates compatibility as the union over healthy
backend nodes, so a backend runnable on any node is offered while one no
node can run stays hidden. Each remote capability is evaluated through a
capability-pinned system state, otherwise a forced capability on the
controller image (LOCALAI_FORCE_META_BACKEND_CAPABILITY or
/run/localai/capability) would silently override every worker's verdict.
With no registered nodes the listing is byte-for-byte what it was, so
single-node deployments are unaffected.

Also fixes the same-root-cause misclassification in /api/operations, which
used the capability-filtered listing to decide whether an operation was a
backend or a model install. A GPU-only backend installing on a worker is
still a backend operation on the controller, so that lookup is now
unfiltered.

* fix(backends): union worker capabilities in backend discovery

Implementation for the specs added in the previous commit, plus the two
remaining discovery endpoints.

Capability-filtered backend discovery evaluated compatibility against the
system state of the host serving the request. In a distributed deployment
that host is the controller, which typically has no GPU, while the GPUs
live on worker nodes. Any meta backend whose capabilities map lacks a
"default" (or "cpu") key was dropped entirely — longcat-video, vllm-omni,
ltx-video, parakeet, edgetam and qwentts were invisible in the UI even
though installing them by name on a GPU worker worked fine.

Workers now report their own meta-backend capability at registration and
the controller persists it on the node row. The controller cannot derive
it: OS-dependent capabilities (metal, darwin-x86, nvidia-l4t) and the CUDA
runtime refinements are only observable on the worker. Nodes registered
before this field existed fall back to a coarse capability derived from
their GPU vendor and VRAM.

Discovery then evaluates compatibility as the union over healthy backend
nodes, so a backend runnable on any node is offered while one no node can
run stays hidden. Each remote capability is evaluated through a
capability-pinned system state, otherwise a forced capability on the
controller image (LOCALAI_FORCE_META_BACKEND_CAPABILITY or
/run/localai/capability) would silently override every worker's verdict.
With no registered nodes the listing is byte-for-byte what it was, so
single-node deployments are unaffected.

Four surfaces shared this root cause and are all routed through the same
helper now:

  - GET /backends/available
  - GET /api/fine-tuning/backends
  - GET /api/quantization/backends
  - /api/operations backend-vs-model classification, which additionally
    had no reason to filter by capability at all: a GPU-only backend
    installing on a worker is still a backend operation on the
    controller, so that lookup is now unfiltered.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto a89d780707 fix(gallery): keep multi-file HF install progress proportional during verify (#10908)
The artifact progress bridge mapped every PhaseVerifying event to a flat
95%. The materializer emits PhaseVerifying once per file (from each file's
AfterDownload hook) and downloads run sequentially, so the first small file
to finish pinned the bar at 95% - and, because progress is monotonic, it
stayed at 95% for the entire remaining download (e.g. a 70GB checkpoint
reporting 95% at 410MB / 69.7GB).

Track per-file verify proportionally to the running aggregate bytes, the
same way downloading does. CurrentBytes already reflects "completed files +
this file", so the percentage advances honestly. The flat 95%/99% is now
reserved for the genuinely once-per-install Committing/Persisting phases.

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.

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.

app_test.go and openresponses_test.go hardcoded 127.0.0.1:9090. When

the server goroutine logs the bind error and the specs then poll

where 9090 is permanently taken this makes the pre-commit coverage gate
impossible to pass.

* fix(distributed): make per-node backend upgrade actually upgrade

The node detail page's Upgrade button reused the node-scoped install
path (POST /api/nodes/:id/backends/install). That fires NATS
backend.install with force=false, and the worker's install handler is
deliberately "ensure installed": when the backend binary already exists
on disk it short-circuits without touching the gallery. Since only an
installed backend can be upgraded, the whole chain was a guaranteed
successful no-op - the UI then toasted "backend upgraded" without even
waiting for the async job.

Route upgrades through the real force-reinstall path instead:

- BackendManager.UpgradeBackend now receives the ManagementOp (like
  InstallBackend already did) so implementations can honor
  op.TargetNodeID.
- DistributedBackendManager.UpgradeBackend scopes the backend.upgrade
  fan-out to op.TargetNodeID when set, and errors when the target node
  does not report the backend as installed.
- New POST /api/nodes/:id/backends/upgrade endpoint enqueues an
  Upgrade=true node-scoped op (async 202 + jobID, mirroring install).
- NodeDetail UI calls the new endpoint and reports the dispatch
  ("Upgrading ... on this node...") instead of claiming success; the
  Operations panel tracks the actual job.

Verified against a live local cluster (NATS + Postgres + two workers):
the target worker stops the running process, force-reinstalls from the
gallery and re-downloads the OCI image; the second worker receives no
backend.upgrade event; upgrading a backend missing from the target node
fails the job with a clear error.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto b224c96db6 fix(config): only inject llama.cpp serving options on the llama.cpp path (#10822)
SetDefaults injected the llama.cpp server options cache_reuse
(ApplyServingDefaults) and parallel (ApplyHardwareDefaults, re-applied
per selected node by the distributed router) onto every model config
regardless of backend. Every other backend ignores options it does not
understand, so this was harmless until longcat-video, which strictly
validates its options and fails LoadModel with
"unknown model option(s): cache_reuse, parallel".

Gate both injections behind a new UsesLlamaCppServingOptions allow-list
(llama-cpp plus the empty/auto-detect case that resolves to llama.cpp
from a GGUF file, mirroring how llamaCppDefaults is registered). This
follows the existing UsesLlamaSamplerDefaults precedent for llama-only
defaults. The typed NBatch field is deliberately left alone: it is a
proto field every backend simply ignores, which is why batch never
triggered the error.

Also harden the longcat-video backend to warn-and-ignore unknown model
options and request params through a testable select_known_options
helper, matching the other LocalAI Python backends, so a future
server-injected option cannot break loading again.

The PII EventStore ring buffer is capacity-bound and meant for
recent-audit browsing via /api/pii/events; operators also want a
monotonic, scrape-friendly signal on /metrics — how many
detections/masks/blocks per hour, per origin, and whether the filter
stopped firing after a deploy (silent-failure class).

EventStore.Record is the single choke point every producer already goes
through (request middleware, response scrubbing, MITM proxy
connects/intercepts), so one lazily-initialised counter there covers all
paths without touching any producer:

  localai_pii_events_total{kind, origin, action, direction}

Same lazy otel.Meter pattern as core/services/routing/billing, so the
counter lands on the Prometheus-backed global MeterProvider installed by
the monitoring service. No behaviour change; label cardinality is
bounded (enum-like fields only, no pattern IDs or user IDs).

* fix(backends): make backend install ops idempotent unless forced

POST /backends/apply hardcoded force=true through
LocalBackendManager.InstallBackend, so applying an already-installed
backend re-downloaded and re-extracted the whole artifact every time.
API clients that ensure a backend exists at startup paid a full OCI
image pull on every boot.

Backend install ops now default to non-forced — an installed, runnable
backend short-circuits (the orphaned-meta reinstall path in
InstallBackendFromGallery is preserved) — and reinstall stays available:

- ManagementOp gains a Force field; the local manager passes it through
  instead of hardcoding true.
- /backends/apply accepts an optional "force" boolean in the body.
- The React UI install route keeps forcing, since its button doubles as
  the explicit "Reinstall backend" action.

Distributed installs already behaved this way (workers skip when the
binary exists unless force is set); this aligns single-node behavior.

paid several full OCI pulls per launch.

Give InstallExternalBackend an explicit force parameter (it only
affects the gallery-name fallback; URI installs always write) and pass:

- false from the boot loop and `local-ai backends install` (idempotent
  ensure — `backends upgrade` is the refresh path),

29001a88c1 fix(distributed): don't let a dead worker pin the model-load advisory lock (#10600)
* fix(distributed): don't let a dead worker pin the model-load advisory lock

In distributed mode a chat request could fail with:

  failed to route model with internal loader: routing model ...:
  loading model ...: advisorylock: acquiring lock <id>:
  ERROR: canceling statement due to lock timeout (SQLSTATE 55P03)

Root cause is two independent defects in the cross-replica model-load path:

1. SmartRouter.Route holds a per-model PostgreSQL advisory lock for the whole
   cold-load sequence, which includes installBackendOnNode -> InstallBackend,
   a NATS request-reply with a 15m deadline (DefaultBackendInstallTimeout) that
   ignored ctx. When the chosen worker died mid-install, the holder sat on the
   lock for up to 15m. The detached loadCtx (WithoutCancel) had no deadline, so
   nothing capped the hold.

2. The acquiring statement, pg_advisory_lock(), is subject to any deployment
   global lock_timeout. A common operator setting (e.g. 10s) aborts the wait
   with SQLSTATE 55P03, so every other replica's request for that model hard
   -errored instead of waiting for the in-progress load and reusing it. For the
   ~15m window the model was effectively unroutable.

Fixes:

- advisorylock.WithLockCtx (postgres): SET lock_timeout = 0 on its dedicated
  connection (RESET before it returns to the pool) so the Go context, not a
  deployment-wide GUC, governs how long we wait. Waiters now block and then
  re-check, reusing the model another replica just loaded.

- SmartRouter: bound the detached loadCtx with a single ModelLoadCeiling so the
  lock is always released in bounded time even if a sub-step wedges. Default is
  the configured backend.install deadline + 10m (staging + LoadModel margin),
  so a legitimately slow load is never cut.

- installBackendOnNode: use singleflight.DoChan + select on ctx.Done() so the
  install wait honors cancellation; the ceiling can then actually free a caller
  pinned behind a dead worker. The shared install still coalesces via
  singleflight.

Reproduced both defects as failing tests first (a real 55P03 against a
testcontainer with a short lock_timeout; a wedged install that blocks Route)
and confirmed green.

* fix(distributed): bound advisory-lock wait instead of disabling lock_timeout

Setting lock_timeout = 0 to override a deployment's short global lock_timeout
meant "wait forever" server-side. Safe for SmartRouter.Route (its loadCtx now
carries the model-load ceiling) but unsafe for the schema-migration callers
that pass context.Background(): a holder whose session never releases would
hang them indefinitely.

Derive the server-side lock_timeout from the caller's context instead: its
remaining budget plus a margin (so the Go context's cancellation still wins
with a clean error and the server bound is only a backstop), or a finite
30m backstop when the context has no deadline. Never zero - "wait forever"
is no longer possible, while a deployment's hostile short lock_timeout is
still overridden so legitimate cross-replica waits don't fail with 55P03.

Added a spec proving a deadline-less waiter gives up at the (shrunk) backstop
rather than hanging.

Richard Palethorpe 5d0c43ec6e feat(realtime): Semantic VAD EOU token (#10444)
* feat(realtime): EOU-driven semantic_vad turn detection

Add a `semantic_vad` turn-detection mode to the realtime API that feeds
the transcription model live and decides "the user finished speaking"
from the `<EOU>` end-of-utterance token rather than from silence alone.
When EOU fires the turn commits immediately (~0.3s); otherwise it falls
back to an eagerness-scaled silence threshold (low/med/high = 8/4/2s).

Plumbing, bottom to top:

- proto: `AudioTranscriptionLive` bidirectional RPC (config-first oneof,
  mono float PCM @16k, ready-ack / Unimplemented degrade signal) plus
  `TranscriptResult.eou` for the unary retranscribe gate.
- pkg/grpc: client/server/base/embed scaffolding for the bidi stream,
  modeled on AudioTransformStream; release stream conns on terminal Recv.
- parakeet-cpp: live transcription RPC with per-C-call engine locking
  (one live stream per turn, finalize+free at commit); bump parakeet.cpp
  to ABI v5 — incremental StreamingMel (no more quadratic per-feed mel
  recompute that delayed EOU on long turns) and the <EOU>/<EOB> split;
  strip the literal <EOU>/<EOB> from offline text and set Eou.
- core/backend: LiveTranscriptionSession wrapper + pipeline
  `turn_detection:` config block (type/eagerness/retranscribe).
- realtime: semantic_vad integration — live input captions streamed as
  transcription deltas while the user speaks, EOU-immediate commit with
  eagerness fallback, optional retranscribe gate (batch re-decode must
  also end in <EOU> to confirm), clause synthesis off the LLM token
  callback, and per-turn live-transcription / model_load telemetry.
- UI: show the realtime pipeline components as a vertical list.

Docs and tests included; opt-in via the pipeline YAML or per-session
`session.update`. Non-streaming STT backends degrade to silence-only.

* feat(realtime): explicit formally-verified state machines + parakeet streaming driver

The realtime API had several implicit state machines whose state was inferred
from scattered booleans, channels, and five separate mutexes, leaving
illegal/inconsistent states reachable. Make them explicit and keep the
implementation in step with a formal design; rework the parakeet streaming
backend along the same lines.

Realtime state machines (M1-M5). Each is a sealed sum-type State/Event/Effect
with a total, pure Next(state,event)->(state,[]effect) behind a single-writer
Coordinator:

  M1 conncoord    connection lifecycle: VAD toggle + once-only teardown
                  (replaces vadServerStarted + a `done` channel closed from
                  two sites).
  M2 turncoord    turn detection: collapses speechStarted and the live-stream
                  "turn open" flag into one state, so discardTurn can no longer
                  desync them and suppress the next onset.
  M3 respcoord    response coordination: serializes the dual-writer
                  start/cancel so at most one response is live; one
                  response.done per response.create.
  M4 compactcoord conversation compaction: single-flight (replaces the
                  `compacting atomic.Bool` CAS).
  M5 ttscoord     TTS pipeline: open->closing->closed, idempotent wait(),
                  rejects enqueue-after-close (was a silent drop).

The Coordinator/Sink/Next plumbing — only the sealed types and Next differed
per machine — is extracted once into core/http/endpoints/openai/coordinator as
a generic Coordinator[S,E,F]; each machine keeps its public API via type
aliases, so no sink, call-site, or test moved.

Hierarchy. session_lifecycle.fizz models M1 as the parent region with its
children (M2/M3/M4) as one statechart and asserts ChildrenDieWithParent (conn
torn => all children terminal, none start after teardown). respcoord and
compactcoord gain an absorbing Terminated state + Shutdown event; conncoord's
teardown drives the children terminal. This closes a compaction teardown gap: a
fire-and-forget compaction could outlive a torn session — compactionSink now
takes a session-scoped cancellable context + WaitGroup and joins the in-flight
summarize+evict on shutdown.

Formal verification. formal-verification/ holds one authoritative FizzBee spec
per machine plus the composition spec, each with an always-assertion and a
documented one-line edit that makes the checker fail (verified non-vacuous).
scripts/realtime-conformance.sh is fail-closed: all Go conformance suites under
-race AND a model-check of every .fizz spec; a missing FizzBee is a hard error
(only the loud REALTIME_CONFORMANCE_SKIP_FIZZBEE=1 bypasses it, never in CI).
FizzBee is pinned by sha256 and installed via scripts/install-fizzbee.sh into
.tools/ (gitignored). Wired as make test-realtime-conformance, a CI workflow,
and a pre-commit path filter. Go conformance tests are Ginkgo/Gomega (per the
repo's forbidigo lint): transition tables + fixed-seed property walks +
concurrent/-race specs, no rapid dependency. Design map:
docs/design/realtime-state-machines.md.

Parakeet streaming backend. The same treatment applied to the parakeet-cpp
streaming paths:
- AudioTranscriptionStream returns codes.Unimplemented for non-streaming models
  instead of decoding offline and emitting it as one delta + final. A client
  that asked for streaming learns the model cannot stream rather than receiving
  a batch result shaped like a stream. New grpcerrors.StreamTranscriptionUnsupported
  carries that signal; the HTTP /v1/audio/transcriptions stream path surfaces it
  as an SSE error event. Mirrors AudioTranscriptionLive, which already did this.
- utteranceBoundary (boundary.go): a single definition of the end-of-utterance
  latch, replacing three open-coded finalEou toggles. Modelled as a two-valued
  type so illegal states are unrepresentable.
- Shared decode driver (driver.go): streamFeedResult (one per-feed event) +
  feedChunk (hides the ABI v4 JSON vs text-only split) + feedSlices + flushTail.
  The feed loop is written once.
- AudioTranscriptionLive becomes a bidi adapter: it streams the per-feed
  {delta,eou,eob,words} the realtime turn detector consumes and a terminal
  FinalResult carrying only Text. Segments/duration/eou are offline-only and no
  longer produced (nor read) on the live path; liveTraceState drops the terminal
  eou and keeps the per-feed eou_events count.
- AudioTranscriptionStream + streamJSON merge into one driver-based function;
  streamSegmenter is generalized to the unified event with a text-only fallback
  that preserves the legacy (no-words) library's per-utterance segmentation.

Verified: build/vet/gofumpt clean, golangci-lint 0 issues, all coordinator and
parakeet packages under -race, the fail-closed conformance gate green, and
make test-realtime (12 e2e WS+WebRTC).

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto f3d829e2ef feat(distributed): add LOCALAI_DISTRIBUTED_SHARED_MODELS to skip staging on shared volumes (#10556) (#10566)
In distributed mode, even when the frontend and workers share the same
models directory via a shared volume mount, starting a model on a worker
re-staged (re-downloaded) it: stageModelFiles always uploads model files
into a tracking-key-namespaced subdir on the worker, and the staging probe
only checks that staged location, so a file already present on the shared
volume at the canonical path was never reused.

Add a config switch LOCALAI_DISTRIBUTED_SHARED_MODELS (default false). When
enabled, the operator asserts that all nodes mount the SAME models directory
at the SAME path, so staging is unnecessary: the frontend's absolute model
paths are already valid on the worker. In that mode stageModelFiles returns
the cloned opts unchanged without uploading, leaving the path fields pointing
at their canonical absolute paths so the worker loads them directly from the
shared volume.

The value is plumbed from DistributedConfig through SmartRouterOptions into
the SmartRouter. Docs and docker-compose.distributed.yaml updated.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto d7d7721eae feat(distributed): SyncedMap component + migrate finetune/quant/agent-tasks to cross-replica state (#10542)
* feat(distributed): add SyncedMap cross-replica in-memory state component

Introduce core/services/syncstate.SyncedMap[K,V]: a thread-safe in-memory map
that keeps itself consistent across frontend replicas via NATS, with an optional
pluggable durable Store and hydrate-from-source convergence.

Several features keep process-local state surfaced to the API (finetune/quant
jobs, agent tasks, model configs) and each hand-wired the same in-memory + NATS
broadcast + read-through-store legs - or forgot to, reintroducing cross-replica
staleness. SyncedMap makes that consistency a configuration choice:

- local writes mutate the map, write through the Store, then broadcast a delta;
- the apply path is memory-only and never re-publishes or re-writes the Store
  (structural echo-loop guard, mirroring galleryop.mergeStatus);
- on Start and on NATS reconnect the map re-hydrates from the source (Store, else
  Loader); an optional periodic Reconcile repairs silent drift;
- standalone mode (nil NATS client) is a strict in-memory no-op.

Reconnect re-hydrate is wired via a new *messaging.Client.OnReconnect callback,
consumed through an optional type-assertion so MessagingClient stays minimal.
Adds messaging.SubjectSyncStateDelta and a reusable testutil.FakeBus (synchronous
in-process MessagingClient with wildcard matching) for adopter tests.

Component only; service migrations follow in subsequent commits.

* refactor(finetune): back jobs with SyncedMap for cross-replica consistency

FineTuneService kept jobs in a process-local map and, although it wrote them to
Postgres, ListJobs/GetJob never read the store back and the wired natsClient was
never used - so in distributed mode a job created on one replica was invisible to
the others. Replace the map and the dead client with a syncstate.SyncedMap keyed
by job ID, value *schema.FineTuneJob (the exact REST shape, so responses are
unchanged).

- Add a Store adapter (core/services/finetune/syncstore.go) over FineTuneStore,
  plus FineTuneStore.ListAll (global hydrate; per-user List kept) and an
  idempotent Upsert (create-or-update; Create alone fails on dup key).
- Writes go through SyncedMap.Set/Delete (write-through + broadcast); reads use
  List/Get. The on-disk state.json path becomes the standalone Loader, keeping
  single-node restart recovery (stale->stopped / exporting->failed fixups).
- Fold SetNATSClient/SetFineTuneStore into NewFineTuneService; app.go passes the
  distributed NATS client + store when distributed, nil otherwise.

* refactor(agentpool): back agent tasks with SyncedMap for cross-replica consistency

AgentJobService.ListTasks read the process-local tasks map only, while ListJobs
already read through the DB persister + dispatcher NATS - so in distributed mode
a task created on one replica was invisible to the others. Back tasks with a
syncstate.SyncedMap keyed by task ID (value schema.Task, the exact REST shape);
jobs are left untouched.

- Store adapter (task_syncstore.go) over the existing JobPersister
  (LoadTasks/SaveTask/DeleteTask); reads svc.persister/userID live so a persister
  swap needs no rebuild. No new persister methods required.
- Task reads -> SyncedMap.List/Get; create/update -> Set (write-through +
  broadcast); delete -> Delete. The file persister now owns its own task set so
  the write-through path does not re-enter the SyncedMap lock (deadlock guard).
- The distributed NATS client is not available at construction (start() precedes
  initDistributed), so it is injected via SetTaskSyncNATS, which rebuilds the
  still-empty map before Start/hydrate. Wired at the main, restart, and per-user
  (UserServicesManager) distributed sites.

* refactor(quantization): back jobs with SyncedMap + durable QuantStore

QuantizationService kept jobs in a process-local map persisted only to a local
state.json, so in distributed mode jobs were neither visible across replicas nor
durable cluster-wide. Back jobs with a syncstate.SyncedMap keyed by job ID
(value *schema.QuantizationJob, the exact REST shape).

- New distributed.QuantStore (GORM, table quantization_jobs) mirroring
  FineTuneStore: Create/Get/ListAll/Upsert(idempotent)/Delete, registered for
  AutoMigrate via distributed.InitStores (Stores.Quant).
- New adapter (quantization/syncstore.go) over QuantStore implementing
  syncstate.Store, with record<->schema conversion.
- Reads go through List/Get, writes through Set/Delete (write-through +
  broadcast); state.json is kept as the standalone Loader for single-node restart
  recovery (stale-job fixups preserved).
- app.go passes the distributed NATS client + QuantStore when distributed, nil
  otherwise; Start/Close lifecycle mirrors finetune.

Adds the real-infrastructure counterpart to the fake-bus unit tests, in the
existing distributed e2e suite (testcontainers NATS + PostgreSQL). Two SyncedMap
instances stand in for two frontend replicas - each with its OWN NATS connection
to a shared server and a SHARED Postgres store (the distributed-mode invariant) -
and assert, over the wire:

- a create on replica A is observed by replica B;
- an update and a delete propagate A -> B (delete prunes, which a reload cannot);
- a late-joining replica recovers a job it never received a delta for, via store
  hydrate on Start (the at-most-once gap a fake bus cannot exercise);
- a local Set is written through to the shared Postgres store.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 64150ca7ab fix(distributed): broadcast admin model-config changes across replicas (#10540)
In distributed mode the admin model endpoints (/models/edit, /models/import,
/models/toggle-state and the PATCH config-json endpoint) wrote the YAML to the
shared models dir but reloaded only the local replica's in-memory
ModelConfigLoader. With multiple frontend replicas behind one service, a save
landed on whichever replica handled the request; peers kept serving their stale
in-memory view, so a load-balanced request was a coin-flip between old and new
config (a created alias visible on one replica and missing on the other, an
edited alias target diverging, etc.).

The NATS cache-invalidation channel (SubjectCacheInvalidateModels +
OnModelsChanged) already existed for the gallery install/delete path; these
admin endpoints simply never published on it. Wire them up via a new
GalleryService.BroadcastModelsChanged helper (no-op in standalone mode).

Also fix delete propagation: LoadModelConfigsFromPath is additive and never
drops an entry whose file is gone, so the subscriber hook (which only reloaded
from disk) could not propagate a removal. ApplyRemoteChange now honors the
event op - pruning the element on "delete" and reloading otherwise - and shuts
down any running instance of the affected model so the new config takes effect.
This closes the same latent gap on the gallery delete path.

fix(nodes): return labels in single-node GET so the detail view shows them

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

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

Closes #10527

* fix(auth): make advisory locks dialect-aware and harden SQLite DSN

Fixes #10506.

Two failures hit deployments that use the default SQLite auth database:

1. advisorylock executed PostgreSQL-only SQL (pg_advisory_lock /
   pg_try_advisory_lock) unconditionally. On a SQLite auth DB the job
   store, agent store and node registry migrations failed with
   "no such function: pg_advisory_lock". WithLockCtx/TryWithLockCtx now
   branch on the gorm dialect: PostgreSQL keeps the cross-process advisory
   lock, every other dialect uses a context-aware, per-key in-process lock
   (a SQLite auth DB is effectively single-process, so serializing within
   the process is sufficient).

2. The SQLite auth DSN set no busy timeout, so transient SQLITE_BUSY over
   network-backed storage (SMB/CIFS/NFS, e.g. Azure Files) failed the auth
   migration immediately with "database is locked". The DSN now sets
   _busy_timeout=5000 and _txlock=immediate (caller-supplied values are
   preserved). WAL is intentionally not enabled since its shared-memory
   mmap does not work over network filesystems. Docs note that PostgreSQL
   should be used when the data directory lives on shared storage.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 79783120dd fix(config): gate parallel-slot default on per-device VRAM too (#10485) (#10507)
The first #10485 fix (#10494) made the Blackwell physical-batch boost
per-device/context-aware, which neutralized the big compute-buffer OOM, but
the reporter's 2x16 GiB consumer Blackwell still OOM'd. Tracing the post-fix
log: the model now loads its weights, builds the main context and warms up
fine, and dies only on the *last* allocation — the MTP draft context's 800 MiB
KV cache on the tighter device.

#10411 changed only two defaults: the physical batch (now gated) and a
VRAM-scaled parallel-slot count. The KV cache is unified (n_ctx_seq == full
context proves slots share the budget, so parallel doesn't multiply KV), but
n_seq_max=4 still adds per-slot compute-graph / context-checkpoint / output
scratch. On a device packed ~99% by a 27B model spanning both cards, that
overhead is the few-hundred-MiB straw — which is why reverting #10411 (and only
#10411) restores a working load.

Gate the parallel-slot default on the same per-device headroom predicate as the
batch boost: when a large context already fills a single card
(largeContextForDevice), keep n_parallel=1. A user running one big-context model
that barely fits across two consumer GPUs is not serving four concurrent
tenants. Small contexts and large unified-memory devices (GB10) keep full
concurrency. Applied on both the single-host path and the distributed router.

Also make the auto-tuning visible and reversible (the debugging here needed
DEBUG logs and a git bisect):

  - Log the effective performance-relevant runtime options at INFO once per
    model load ("effective runtime tuning …": context, n_batch, n_gpu_layers,
    parallel, flash_attention, f16) so an admin can see what will run and pin or
    override any value in the model YAML.
  - LOCALAI_DISABLE_HARDWARE_DEFAULTS=true skips the hardware auto-tuning
    entirely (mirrors LOCALAI_DISABLE_GUESSING) for stock llama.cpp behavior.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 0d6de15ae9 fix(config): per-device VRAM headroom for Blackwell defaults (#10485) (#10494)
The hardware-tuned defaults from #10411 were measured on a GB10 / DGX Spark
(128 GiB unified memory) and over-provisioned multi-GPU consumer Blackwell
(e.g. 2x16 GiB RTX 50-series) into CUDA OOM during model init:

  - The Blackwell physical batch (512 -> 2048) sets both n_batch and n_ubatch.
    The compute buffer scales ~n_ubatch * n_ctx and is allocated PER DEVICE
    (it can't be split across GPUs), so a large context turns ub2048 into
    multi-GiB of scratch that must fit one 16 GiB card.
  - The VRAM-scaled parallel-slot default tiered off TotalAvailableVRAM(),
    which SUMS all GPUs (2x16 -> "32 GiB" -> 8 slots), but the allocations
    are per-device.

Make both decisions per-device and context-aware:

  - xsysinfo.MinPerGPUVRAM() reports the smallest device's VRAM; localGPU()
    uses it so the parallel tier and batch guard reason about one card.
  - PhysicalBatchForContext(gpu, ctx) raises the batch only when the extra
    compute buffer fits VRAM/4 at this model's context (16 GiB crosses over
    ~174k ctx, 32 GiB ~349k; GB10 reports system RAM so it still clears it).
  - Apply hardware defaults AFTER runBackendHooks in SetDefaults so the
    GGUF-guessed context is resolved before the batch decision.
  - The distributed router gates the node batch the same way.

Unified-memory devices (GB10, Apple) report system RAM as their single
device's VRAM, so they keep the prefill win.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto e5620989dd refactor(distributed): make in-flight tracking coverage a compile-time contract (#10476)
PR #10475 fixed SoundDetection in-flight tracking, but the underlying trap
remains: InFlightTrackingClient embedded the whole grpc.Backend interface
"for passthrough of untracked methods", so any newly added inference method
is silently satisfied by the embedded passthrough and never wrapped with
track(). That leaves onFirstComplete unfired and in-flight stuck at 1 - the
exact SoundDetection bug, waiting to recur for the next backend method.

Close the gap at the type level instead of relying on reviewers to remember:

- Split grpc.Backend into two composed sub-interfaces: InferenceBackend
  (methods that are one discrete inference call and must be tracked) and
  ControlBackend (control-plane calls plus the streaming constructors whose
  work spans the returned stream, safe to pass through). The classification
  now lives next to the interface it documents.
- InFlightTrackingClient embeds only grpc.ControlBackend and implements every
  InferenceBackend method explicitly, delegating to an inner InferenceBackend.
  A `var _ grpc.Backend = (*InFlightTrackingClient)(nil)` assertion makes the
  package fail to compile if any inference method is left unwrapped.

Now adding a method to InferenceBackend is a build error (at the assertion and
every call site: "does not implement grpc.Backend (missing method X)"), not a
silent runtime leak - and the obvious fix is to copy a neighbouring wrapper,
which calls track(). No runtime guard or reviewer vigilance required.

Pure refactor: the composed Backend interface is identical to the old flat
one, so all implementers and consumers are unaffected (verified with a full
`go build ./...`). Behaviour is unchanged; the existing nodes suite passes.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto fc618dcee6 fix(distributed): track in-flight for SoundDetection requests (#10475)
The distributed router wraps backend clients in InFlightTrackingClient so
the eviction logic knows which replicas are actively serving. Every
inference method must be wrapped: track() increments in-flight on entry
and decrements (plus fires onFirstComplete, which releases the load-time
reservation) on return.

SoundDetection was added after the tracking client and never got a
wrapper, so its calls fell through to the embedded passthrough Backend.
The increment/decrement never ran and, critically, onFirstComplete never
fired, so the reservation set at model load was never released - leaving
in-flight stuck at 1 and the replica permanently ineligible for eviction.

Wrap SoundDetection like the other non-LLM methods and cover it in the
"non-LLM inference methods track in-flight" table test.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 56f8a6623f fix(galleryop): persist cancellable so restarted in-flight ops stay cancellable (#10454)
In distributed mode a model/backend install marks OpStatus.Cancellable=true
while downloading, but the gallery_operations row never recorded it:
UpdateStatus persisted only progress/status and Create left the cancellable
column at its zero value. After a replica restart Hydrate rebuilt the op with
cancellable=false, /api/operations reported false, and the UI hid the cancel
button - the orphaned op then lingered until the 30-minute stale reaper
expired it ("stays there on restart, can't cancel, after a bit it expires").

Persist the flag on every progress tick and at row creation (installs are
cancellable, deletes are not), and clear it on terminal transitions. A
rehydrated in-flight op is now cancellable, so an admin can dismiss the
orphaned op immediately instead of waiting out the reaper. The functional
cancel path already survived restart (CancelOperation persists store.Cancel
even with no live CancelFunc); this restores the UI affordance that drives it.

* fix(pii): post-merge review fixes + live NER e2e for the privacy-filter tier

Follow-up to the NER tier engine (#10360), already on master. This carries
only the incremental review fixes and tests that postdate that merge — the
feature itself is not re-introduced.

Review fixes:
- openai_completion.go: remove the dead `elem >= 0` conjunct in applyAnyText
  (the `elem < 0` guard above already returns).
- application.go: collapse ResolvePIIPolicy's inline re-implementation of
  PIIIsEnabled to a single cfg.PIIIsEnabled() call (sole source of the
  "explicit pii.enabled wins, else cloud-proxy default" rule) and return true
  past the !enabled guard where it is provable.
- pattern.go: hoist the triple `appConfig != nil && EnableTracing` check in
  patternDetector.Detect into one local.
- grammar.go: MaxQuantifier was 4096, but Go's regexp/syntax rejects repeat
  bounds above 1000 at Parse time, so walk()'s {n,m} guard could never fire —
  dead code shadowed by the parser. Lower it to 512 so a bound in (512,1000]
  is rejected here with an actionable error; >1000 still fails closed via
  Parse. Specs pin the relationship so the guard can't silently revert.
- PatternListEditor.jsx: clamp a directly-typed negative min_len to >=0 and
  force the DOM value back when clamping (min={0} only constrained the spinner,
  so a negative reached saved config and silently disabled the length filter).

Tests:
- piipattern_test.go: MaxQuantifier guard specs (must stay live, not dead).
- model-config.spec.js: assert the min_len clamp, and that entity_actions
  collapses a duplicate group to a single row (map semantics; regression guard
  against emitting an array that drops a row on save).
- tests/e2e-backends: token_classify capability driving the TokenClassify gRPC
  RPC against the backend image, asserting byte-correct, UTF-8 rune-aligned
  spans (entity.Text == text[start:end]) at threshold 0. Verified on CPU via
  `make test-extra-backend-privacy-filter` (3/3 specs).
- Makefile: test-extra-backend-privacy-filter wrapper.
- tests/e2e: e2e_pii_ner_test.go drives /api/pii/analyze + /api/pii/redact
  (mask + block) through the full HTTP -> detector -> redactor path; gated on
  PII_NER_MODEL_GGUF so the default suite is unaffected.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 569d9bbd9e fix(distributed): broadcast file-staging progress across replicas (#10440)
File-staging progress lived only in the SmartRouter's in-memory
StagingTracker on the replica performing the transfer. In a multi-replica
deployment behind a round-robin load balancer, a /api/operations poll
that lands on any other replica saw no staging row, so the progress
("processing file ... Total ... Current ...") flickered in and out as
polls rotated between frontends.

Mirror the pattern already used for gallery-install progress: the origin
replica broadcasts staging ticks over NATS (SubjectStagingProgress, a
new staging.<model>.progress subject), and peers merge them via
ApplyRemote (SubscribeBroadcasts on the wildcard). Byte-level ticks are
leading-edge debounced (~1/s); Start/FileComplete/Complete always
publish. A locally-owned op stays authoritative so the origin's own echo
and stray peer events can't clobber it, and mirrored remote ops expire
after a TTL so a missed Done event can't leave a phantom row. The UI read
path (StagingTracker.GetAll) is unchanged.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 682fb2718c fix(distributed): detach cold-load staging from the request context (#10438)
A model not yet loaded on a worker is staged lazily on the inference
request path. Staging a multi-GB model takes minutes - far longer than
any client keeps its HTTP request open - so a browser refresh, an
ingress/LB idle-timeout, or a round-robined retry landing on another
frontend replica cancels the request context and aborts the upload with
"context canceled" mid-transfer. Large models then never finish staging,
so they never load (observed in a 2-replica deployment: both frontends
repeatedly failed to stage a 15.7 GB GGUF, each attempt dying at a
different offset).

Bind the cold load (staging + LoadModel + the per-model advisory lock) to
context.WithoutCancel(ctx): it keeps the request's values (prefix chain)
but drops cancellation/deadline. Each long step keeps its own bound (the
file stager's resume budget, LoadModel's 5m timeout), and the advisory
lock still de-dupes concurrent loaders across replicas.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 600dafd20b feat(ced): sound-event classification backend (CED audio tagger) (#10425)
* feat(ced): sketch sound-classification backend (CED audio tagger)

Wires ced.cpp (CED, 527-class AudioSet sound-event tagger; baby cry,
footsteps, glass, alarms, dog bark) into LocalAI as a Go/purego backend.

SKETCH (backend skeleton real; core REST wiring + CI/gallery is a checklist
in DESIGN.md):
- backend/backend.proto: new SoundDetection rpc + SoundClass messages
  (run `make protogen-go` to regenerate pkg/grpc/proto).
- backend/go/ced: main.go (purego dlopen libced.so + ced_capi.h),
  goced.go (Ced gRPC backend: Load + SoundDetection), Makefile
  (clone-at-pin CED_VERSION, ggml static-PIC shared build), run.sh,
  package.sh, .gitignore.
- DESIGN.md: REST /v1/audio/classification wiring (handler/route/capability
  registration checklist), gallery/index + CI registration, and a scoping
  note for the realtime/websocket live-recognition path (sliding-window
  classify over the existing ws transport + voicegate; the ced C-API
  per-PCM entry point is already window-friendly).

Backend code does not compile until protogen-go regenerates the pb types
and a libced.so is built (Makefile clones+builds it).

* feat(ced): REST /v1/audio/classification endpoint + capability registration

Wires the ced sound-event classification backend (AudioSet audio tagger)
end to end through the REST surface, mirroring the transcription path.

- Handler: core/http/endpoints/openai/sound_classification.go parses the
  multipart audio upload, temp-files it, resolves the model config and
  calls the SoundDetection RPC; returns {model, detections[]} JSON.
- Backend wrapper: core/backend/sound_classification.go (ModelSoundDetection)
  loads the model and normalizes the proto response into schema types.
- Schema: core/schema/sound_classification.go (SoundClassificationResult).
- gRPC layer: SoundDetection wired through the LocalAI wrapper (interface,
  Backend client, Client, embed, server, base default) so the loader-typed
  client exposes the RPC; proto regenerated via make protogen-go.
- Route: POST /v1/audio/classification (+ /audio/classification alias) with
  the audio/multipart default-model middleware in routes/openai.go.
- Capability surfaces: swagger @Tags/@Router on the handler; FLAG_SOUND_
  CLASSIFICATION usecase flag + UsecaseSoundClassification + UsecaseInfoMap +
  GuessUsecases + ModalityGroups + GetAllModelConfigUsecases; meta usecase
  option; /api/instructions audio area updated; auth RouteFeatureRegistry +
  FeatureAudioClassification (APIFeatures, default ON) + FeatureMetas; UI

* feat(ced): realtime sound-event detection over the websocket API

When a realtime pipeline configures a sound-classification model, each
VAD-committed utterance (the same window the transcription path produces)
is also run through the CED sound-event classifier and the scored AudioSet
tags are emitted as a new server event. No new backend rpc is needed: the
SoundDetection gRPC method already exists on this branch.

- config: add Pipeline.SoundDetection (yaml/json sound_detection,omitempty)
  beside Transcription/VAD.
- realtime: add Model.SoundDetection(ctx, audio, topK, threshold) to the
  ModelInterface; implement it on wrappedModel and transcriptOnlyModel by
  calling backend.ModelSoundDetection with the session's sound-classification
  model config (mirrors how Transcribe dispatches). Load the optional config
  in newModel / newTranscriptionOnlyModel; nil config keeps it additive.
- types: add ConversationItemSoundDetectionEvent (item_id, content_index,
  detections[]{label,score,index}) with type conversation.item.sound_detection,
  its ServerEventType constant and MarshalJSON, mirroring the transcription
  completed event.
- realtime: add emitSoundDetection (unary path: classify the committed window,
  build the event, t.SendEvent) and wire it at the utterance-commit hook right
  after emitTranscription; gated on session.SoundDetectionEnabled (resolved
  from Pipeline.SoundDetection at session setup, defaults top_k=5, threshold=0).
  Its error is logged via xlog but never aborts the turn.
- test: Ginkgo specs for emitSoundDetection (tags emitted, empty detections,
  classifier error) plus a SoundDetection method on the fakeModel double.

* fix(ced): implement SoundDetection in nodes backend test doubles

The SoundDetection method added to the grpc backend interface left two
test doubles (fakeBackendClient, fakeGRPCBackend) incomplete, so
core/services/nodes failed to compile under `go vet`/`go test` (go build
missed it: the doubles live in _test.go). Add the method to both,
mirroring their existing Detect mock. Repairs CI for the nodes package.

* feat(ced): decouple realtime sound detection from VAD (sound-only sessions)

Sound-event detection must activate on sounds, not speech, so it no longer
runs through the voice VAD/transcription path. A sound-detection-only
pipeline (sound_detection set, no transcription/LLM) now:

- is accepted by prepareRealtimeConfig (sound_detection counts as a pipeline
  stage),
- builds a lightweight model via newSoundDetectionOnlyModel (no VAD/STT/LLM/TTS
  loaded), and
- defaults the session to turn_detection none (no VAD) with no transcription
  stage, so the client drives windowing via input_audio_buffer.commit
  (option A: client-side sliding window). The per-PCM C-API already supports
  arbitrary windows.

commitUtterance gains a sound-only branch: it emits the
conversation.item.sound_detection event (scored AudioSet tags) and stops -
no transcription, no LLM response. generateResponse is now guarded on a
transcription stage being present, so a sound-only turn never invokes the LLM.

Existing transcription/VAD sessions are unchanged (additive). Added a
commitUtterance sound-only Ginkgo spec asserting it emits the sound event and
neither transcribes nor generates a response. go vet + golangci-lint
(new-from-merge-base) clean; openai suite green.

* feat(ced): register sound-classification backend in gallery + CI

Mechanical backend-image registration for the ced sound-event classifier,
mirroring the parakeet-cpp Go/purego backend everywhere it is wired up.

- .github/backend-matrix.yml: add the ced build matrix, field-for-field copies
  of the parakeet-cpp entries (cpu amd64/arm64, cublas cuda 12/13 amd64,
  l4t cuda-13 arm64, l4t-jetpack cuda-12 arm64, sycl f32/f16, vulkan
  amd64/arm64, rocm hipblas, and the metal darwin entry), changing only
  backend and tag-suffix. dockerfile stays ./backend/Dockerfile.golang.
- backend/index.yaml: add the &ced meta anchor (capabilities map per platform)
  plus ced-development and the per-arch image entries, each uri/mirror
  tag-suffix matching the matrix exactly. The model gallery (GGUF) entry is
  intentionally deferred pending the HuggingFace publish (TODO note inline).
- scripts/changed-backends.js: add an explicit item.backend === "ced" branch in
  inferBackendPath mapping to backend/go/ced/, same mechanism and ordering as
  the parakeet-cpp branch (before the generic golang fallthrough).
- .github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml: register mudler/ced.cpp -> CED_VERSION in
  backend/go/ced/Makefile so the daily bot bumps the pin.
- swagger/{docs.go,swagger.json,swagger.yaml}: regenerated via make swagger so
  the existing /v1/audio/classification annotations land in the generated spec.

* feat(ced): server-side windowing for realtime sound detection (option B)

Adds an optional server-driven sliding-window classifier so a sound-only
realtime client only has to stream audio (no input_audio_buffer.commit):

- Pipeline.sound_detection_window_ms / sound_detection_hop_ms config knobs.
  When both > 0 on a sound-only session, the server classifies the last
  window of streamed audio every hop and emits a conversation.item.sound_
  detection event; the input buffer is trimmed to one window so a long
  stream stays bounded. When unset, the session stays client-driven
  (option A). Runs independent of VAD (sound events are not speech).
- handleSoundWindow (ticker) + classifySoundWindow (one tick, extracted so
  it is unit-testable) + writeWindowWAV, which declares the true
  InputSampleRate (NewWAVHeaderWithRate) so the classifier resamples
  correctly. Goroutine is started after toggleVAD and torn down with the
  session (close + wg.Wait).
- Register pipeline.sound_detection (+window_ms/hop_ms) in the config meta
  registry; the earlier realtime commit added pipeline.sound_detection
  without a registry entry, failing TestAllFieldsHaveRegistryEntries. This
  fixes that and covers the two new knobs.

Tests: classifySoundWindow emits an event + trims the buffer to one window,
no-ops on too-little audio; writeWindowWAV declares the given sample rate.
go build/vet + golangci-lint (new-from-merge-base) clean; config + openai
suites green.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto b081247d95 feat(config): hardware-tuned defaults — Blackwell batch + VRAM-scaled concurrency (#10411)
* feat(config): node-aware hardware defaults — larger physical batch on Blackwell

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(downloader): stall timeout, resume-safe cancel, and stale-partial reaping

Large model installs would hang forever or never finish. Three defects in
the HTTP download path, all hit by big GGUF pulls over a slow or flaky link:

1. No stall timeout. The shared download client sets no body deadline
   (correct for streaming) but also no read-idle timeout, and the
   transport's IdleConnTimeout does not cover an in-flight body read. A
   silently-dropped TCP connection (no FIN/RST) blocked the body Read
   forever, freezing an install at N bytes until an external reaper killed
   it. Add an idle-timeout reader that closes the body after a window of
   zero progress (DownloadStallTimeout, default 60s), turning an indefinite
   hang into a fast, retryable error. A read that returns data resets the
   clock, so a slow-but-steady transfer is unaffected.

2. Cancellation deleted the partial. On context.Canceled the code removed
   the .partial file, so any frontend restart (deploy, OOM) mid-download
   wiped all progress and the retry restarted from zero. At slow egress,
   files larger than the restart interval never completed. Keep the
   .partial on cancel so the next attempt resumes via Range.

3. Partials leaked. Cleanup only ran on the context-cancel path, never on a
   stall or a SIGKILL/OOM, so abandoned .partial files accumulated and could
   fill the models volume. Add CleanupStalePartialFiles and reap partials
   older than 24h on startup.

* fix(downloader): discard the .partial on a deliberate user cancel

Review follow-up. The previous commit kept the .partial on every cancellation
so restarts could resume, but that also left a dangling partial when a user
*intentionally* cancelled an install — the file lingered until the 24h reaper.

Distinguish the two: cancel the gallery operation's context with a cause
(downloader.ErrUserCancelled) so the download layer can tell a deliberate
abort (discard the partial) from an incidental one such as a shutdown/restart
(keep it for resume). Detect cancellation via the context rather than the
returned error, because an HTTP request cancelled with a cause surfaces the
cause error, not context.Canceled.

- 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).

* feat(backend): add depth-anything (Depth Anything 3) C++/ggml backend + gallery

Mirrors the locate-anything-cpp backend to register a new depth-anything
backend that wraps the Depth Anything 3 ggml port (depth-anything.cpp) via
purego (cgo-less, no Python at inference).

- backend/go/depth-anything-cpp/: gRPC backend (Load + Predict + GenerateImage),
  purego binding to the da_capi_* C ABI, CMake/Makefile/run/package/test scripts
  building depth-anything.cpp's DA_SHARED static .so per CPU variant.
- backend/index.yaml: depth-anything backend meta + all hardware-variant
  capability entries (cpu/cuda12/cuda13/intel-sycl-f32+f16/vulkan/nvidia-l4t).
- gallery/index.yaml: 8 Depth Anything 3 GGUF models (base q4_k/q8_0/f16/f32,
  small, large, giant, mono-large).
- .github/backend-matrix.yml: one build entry per hardware variant.

* fix(depth): wire depth-anything-cpp into build, CI bump, and importer

The backend dir, gallery index, and CI build-matrix were present but the
backend was never wired into the integration points that adding-backends.md
requires:

- root Makefile: add to .NOTPARALLEL, the test-extra chain, a BACKEND_*
  definition, the docker-build target eval, and docker-build-backends
  (mirrors parakeet-cpp; the backend's own Makefile already documented that
  its `test` target is driven by test-extra).
- bump_deps.yaml: register the DEPTHANYTHING_VERSION pin so the daily
  auto-bump bot tracks mudler/depth-anything.cpp master (it cannot see an
  unregistered Makefile pin).
- import form: add a preference-only KnownBackend entry so depth-anything is
  selectable at /import-model (mirrors sam3-cpp; no reliable GGUF auto-detect
  signal, so pref-only per the doc's default).

changed-backends.js needs no entry: the generic golang suffix branch already
resolves backend/go/depth-anything-cpp/.

* feat(depth): auto-detect importer for depth-anything GGUFs

Replace the preference-only entry with a real auto-detect importer
(mirrors parakeet-cpp / locate-anything):

- DepthAnythingImporter matches a .gguf whose name carries a
  depth-anything token (depth-anything-<size>-<quant>.gguf), so
  /import-model recognises mudler/depth-anything.cpp-gguf repos and direct
  GGUF URLs without an explicit backend preference. preferences.backend=
  "depth-anything" still forces it.
- Registered before LlamaCPPImporter so its GGUF bundles aren't claimed by
  the generic .gguf importer; the narrow name match means it cannot claim
  arbitrary llama GGUFs or the upstream safetensors PyTorch repos.
- Multi-quant repos pick the smallest quant by default (q4_k -> ... -> f32,
  depth stays >0.998 corr even at q4_k); quantizations preference overrides.
- Drops the now-redundant knownPrefOnlyBackends entry (importer-backed
  backends are not listed there, matching parakeet-cpp).
- Table-driven Ginkgo test covers detection, negative cases (llama GGUF,
  upstream safetensors), default/override/fallback quant pick, and direct
  URL import. 10/10 specs pass.

* fix(depth): resolve gosec findings in the backend wrapper

The code-scanning gate flagged three new failure-level alerts in

- G301: export dirs were created with 0o755. Tighten to 0o750 (no world
  access needed for backend-written export output).
- G304: writeDepthPNG creates req.GetDst(). That path is chosen by the
  LocalAI core as the intended output destination (same pattern every
  image backend uses), not attacker input, so annotate with #nosec G304
  and document why.

The remaining G103 "audit unsafe" notes on the unsafe.Slice C-buffer copies
are warning-level (the same purego interop whisper/parakeet use) and do not

e5c95e0449 fix(distributed): stage backend companion assets to remote nodes (#10330)
A model whose ModelFile is a single file (e.g. sherpa-onnx VITS/piper: the
.onnx) failed to load on remote worker nodes because the sibling assets the
backend resolves from the model dir — tokens.txt, lexicon.txt, the
espeak-ng-data / dict directories, Kokoro's voices.bin — were never staged.
Only the declared ModelFile was shipped, so the worker hit "failed to create
sherpa-onnx TTS engine" and TTS produced no audio.

Lean on the existing option-path staging instead of hardcoding filenames:

- stageGenericOptions now also resolves an option value relative to the model's
  own directory (not just the frontend models dir), so a shared config can
  declare companions with bare names regardless of whether Model includes a
  subdirectory; and it expands directory-valued options (e.g. espeak-ng-data)
  file-by-file rather than handing a directory fd to the stager.
- gallery/sherpa-onnx-tts.yaml declares the companion assets as option paths
  (tokens, lexicon, espeak-ng-data, voices.bin, dict, per-lang lexicons). The
  backend ignores these keys and keeps resolving siblings from the model dir;
  they exist only so distributed staging ships them. Absent files are skipped.

Adds router_optionstage_test.go covering file + directory companion staging via
the model-dir fallback.

Aniruddh Jha 51f4f67c47 fix(agents): emit chat event timestamps in milliseconds (#9867) (#10243)
Agent chat replies rendered a broken timestamp in the web UI
("Invalid Timestamp" / "12:00 AM", identical for every reply) because
the SSE timestamp unit was inconsistent across producers.

EventBridge.PublishEvent emitted Unix nanoseconds while the local
dispatcher (dispatcher.go) already emitted Unix milliseconds, and the
React UI fed the value straight into `new Date(ts)` after dividing by
1e6. Nanoseconds also overflow JS's safe-integer range (~1.7e18).

Standardize on Unix milliseconds: switch PublishEvent to UnixMilli and
drop the /1e6 conversion in AgentChat.jsx so both SSE paths agree and
match the React UI's expectation. Add a regression test asserting the
published timestamp is in milliseconds.

Richard Palethorpe 085fc53bbc fix(router): production-ready request router + auto-size batch for embedding/rerank (#10104)
* fix(router): score classifier production-readiness

Conversation trimming runs through the classifier model's chat template
and trims by exact token count, sized to the model's n_batch which is
now scaled to context so long probes can't crash the backend. Missing
chat_message templates are a hard error at router build time. Router-
facing factories (Embedder/Scorer/Reranker/TokenCounter) re-resolve
ModelConfig per call so a model installed post-startup doesn't bind a
stub Backend="" config and silently fall into the loader's auto-
iterate path.

New 'vector_store' backend trace recorded inside localVectorStore on
every Search/Insert — including the backend-load-failure path that
previously vanished into an xlog.Warn — with outcome tagging
(hit/miss/empty_store/backend_load_error/find_error/insert_error/ok).
Companion cleanup drops misleading similarity:0 and input_tokens_count:0
from non-hit and text-mode traces.

Gallery local-store-development aliases to 'local-store' so the master
image satisfies pkg/model.LocalStoreBackend lookups from the embedding
cache.

Misc: llama-cpp TokenizeString reads the correct 'prompt' JSON key
(the original bug); ModelTokenize nil-guard; non-fatal mitm proxy
startup; PII 'route_local' renamed to 'allow' with docs/UI in sync;
model-editor footer no longer eats the edit area on small screens;
several config-editor template/dropdown/section fixes.

Tests: e2e router specs (casual/code-hint + long-conversation trim),
vector_store trace specs, lazy-factory specs, gallery dev-alias
resolution, Playwright trace badge + scroll regression.

* feat(backend): auto-size batch to context for embedding and rerank models

Embedding and rerank models pool over the whole input in a single physical batch (n_ubatch). With batch left at the 512 default, the backend rejects longer inputs with "input is too large to process", silently capping a large-context embedder (e.g. 8k/32k) at 512 tokens. Size n_batch to the context for these single-pass usecases, mirroring the existing FLAG_SCORE behaviour; an explicit batch: still wins.

Extracts EffectiveContextSize/EffectiveBatchSize from grpcModelOpts so the effective decode window has one home for other callers to reuse.

Adds an e2e-aio regression test that embeds a >512-token input. The AIO embedding model is switched to nomic-embed-text-v1.5 (2048 context) because the previous granite model was capped at 512 tokens and could not exercise the larger batch.

* fix(gallery): raise arch-router scoring output cap via parallel:64

Scoring decodes the whole prompt+candidate in a single llama_decode and
reads one logit row per candidate token. The vendored llama.cpp server
caps causal output rows at n_parallel, so the default of 1 aborts with
GGML_ASSERT(n_outputs_max <= cparams.n_outputs_max) on multi-token route
labels. Set options: [parallel:64] on both arch-router quant entries to
lift the cap; kv_unified (the grpc-server default) keeps the full context
per sequence, so this does not split the KV cache.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto fba8c9c498 fix(distributed): track in-flight for non-LLM inference methods (VAD, diarize, voice, ...) (#10238)
fix(distributed): track in-flight for non-LLM inference methods

InFlightTrackingClient only wrapped a subset of the grpc.Backend
inference methods (Predict, Embeddings, TTS, AudioTranscription, Detect,
Rerank, ...). Methods like VAD were left as embedded passthrough, so
track() never ran for them.

In distributed mode every model is loaded with in_flight=1 as a
reservation; that reservation is only released by the OnFirstComplete
callback, which fires after the first *tracked* inference call completes.
A VAD-only model (e.g. silero-vad) never calls a tracked method, so the
reservation is never released and in-flight stays pinned at 1 forever -
which also blocks the router's idle-eviction logic.

Wrap the remaining unary inference methods (VAD, Diarize, Face*, Voice*,
TokenClassify, Score, AudioEncode, AudioDecode, AudioTransform) with the
same track()/reconcile() pattern. The three bidi-stream constructors
(AudioTransformStream, AudioToAudioStream, Forward) are deliberately left
as passthrough - their inference spans the stream lifetime, not the
constructor call, so track() there would fire onFirstComplete before any
data flows.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three findings from an adversarial review of this branch:

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

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

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

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

Second review pass found two issues:

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

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

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

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

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

Richard Palethorpe 73385713ca feat(distributed): enforce registration token for worker file transfer (#10183)
The worker HTTP file-transfer server is authenticated by the registration
token via checkBearerToken, which fails open on an empty token: every
/v1/files, /v1/files-list and /v1/backend-logs request is then served
unauthenticated, granting read/write to the worker's models/staging/data
directories. The fail-open was also silent (the only auth log sat on the
unreachable reject branch), and the worker process never runs
DistributedConfig.Validate(), so the existing frontend warning did not
cover the component that exposes the server.

Mirror the NatsRequireAuth pattern: keep anonymous as the default but make
it loud and opt-in enforceable.

- Log a prominent warning when the file-transfer server starts tokenless.
- Add LOCALAI_REGISTRATION_REQUIRE_AUTH: DistributedConfig.Validate() errors
  on an empty token (frontend) and the worker refuses to start (fail-fast,
  before registration), so production can fail closed. Also satisfies the
  F-003 suggestion to fail Validate() on distributed + empty token.
- Add LOCALAI_DISTRIBUTED_REQUIRE_AUTH umbrella switch implying both
  RegistrationRequireAuth and NatsRequireAuth — one production knob locking

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 858257eaf0 fix(distributed): self-heal stale 'model not loaded' routing (#10181)
* fix(distributed): self-heal stale 'model not loaded' routing

In distributed mode the registry can list a model as loaded on a node
while the worker has evicted it (autonomous LRU eviction, an out-of-band
unload, etc.) yet the backend process survives. The router's cached-node
check only verifies the process is alive (probeHealth), so it routes there
and inference fails with "<backend>: model not loaded" — and stays broken
until the controller restarts and rebuilds its registry.

InFlightTrackingClient now reconciles this: when a tracked inference call
returns a model-not-loaded error, it drops the stale replica row
(RemoveNodeModel) so the next request reloads the model on a healthy node
instead of routing back to the evicted one. The original error is returned
unchanged; only the registry is corrected.

* refactor(distributed): typed model-not-loaded error via gRPC status code

Replace the controller-side error-string match with a shared, code-aware
helper. Go error types don't survive the gRPC boundary, so the signal is
carried as a status code (FailedPrecondition):

- pkg/grpc/grpcerrors: ModelNotLoaded(backend) constructor +
  IsModelNotLoaded(err) checker (status-code first, message fallback for
  backends not yet migrated).
- InFlightTrackingClient.reconcile now uses grpcerrors.IsModelNotLoaded.
- Migrate the Go backends that emit this error (parakeet-cpp, cloud-proxy,
  rfdetr-cpp) to the typed constructor.

Acting on a false positive is harmless (the model is just reloaded).

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 92726f7631 fix(distributed): stage directory-based models to remote nodes (#10175)
Distributed file-staging treated every model path field (ModelFile, etc.)
as a single regular file: it os.Open'd the path and streamed its fd as the
HTTP PUT body. For directory-based models — e.g. qwen3-tts-cpp, whose
weights and tokenizer ggufs live under one directory referenced by
parameters.model — opening the directory succeeds but reading its fd
returns EISDIR, so routing the model to a remote NATS worker failed with
"read /models/<model>: is a directory". Single-file models were unaffected,
so only multi-file pipelines (e.g. the realtime TTS stage) broke.

stageModelFiles now detects a directory path field and stages each
contained file individually (via the new stageDirectory helper), preserving
structure with the existing StagingKeyMapper and rewriting the field to the
remote directory (deriving ModelPath as before). countStageableFiles makes
the progress total count a directory's files so the staging tracker stays
accurate.

Richard Palethorpe 3a932a9803 feat(distributed): Add NATS JWT authentication and TLS/mTLS options (#10159)
* feat(distributed): NATS JWT auth, TLS/mTLS options, and e2e coverage

Mint per-node NATS user JWTs at registration when LOCALAI_NATS_ACCOUNT_SEED
is set, and connect workers with scoped credentials from the register response.
Add optional LOCALAI_NATS_TLS_CA/CERT/KEY for private CA and mTLS alongside
tls:// URLs, plus test-e2e-distributed and NatsJWT container e2e specs.

Document JWT setup (nats-auth-setup.sh) and TLS env vars in distributed-mode.

* fix(distributed): correct NATS JWT scoping and harden client auth

The JWT-auth path added in 46467cc7 had several gaps that fail silently
under LOCALAI_NATS_REQUIRE_AUTH:

- Agent-worker minted JWTs did not allow the subjects the agent worker
  actually subscribes to (jobs.mcp-ci.new and nodes.<id>.backend.stop),
  so MCP-CI jobs and backend-stop session cleanup were silently dropped.
  Scope the agent permission set to those subjects.
- NATS subscription permission violations were swallowed (Subscribe
  returned a live-but-dead subscription). Confirm subscriptions with a
  server round-trip so a denial surfaces synchronously, and log async
  permission errors.
- The backend worker connected anonymously when given a JWT without its
  paired seed; reject the unpaired credential instead.
- The documented service-user permissions in nats-auth-setup.sh omitted
  prefixcache.>, which the frontend publishes and subscribes; add it.

Also: add a credential-provider hook to the messaging client (consumed by
the follow-up credential-lifecycle change), drop the always-nil error from
NatsMessagingOptions, run go mod tidy (jwt/v2 and nkeys are now direct),
and gofmt the feature's files.

Tests: an agent-JWT e2e spec that connects to the enforcing NATS server
and exercises every subscription the agent worker makes, plus permission
allow-list coverage unit tests.

* feat(distributed): acquire and auto-refresh worker NATS credentials

Workers fetched NATS credentials once at startup, which broke two cases
under JWT auth: a worker that registered while still pending admin
approval never received a minted JWT (it connected unauthenticated and
gave up), and a long-running worker's 24h JWT expired with no way to renew
it.

Introduce workerregistry.NATSCredentialManager, built on idempotent
re-registration (the frontend preserves the node row and mints a fresh JWT
each call):

- Acquire re-registers through admin approval until the node is approved
  and credentials are minted (or returns the first success when auth is
  not required, preserving anonymous-NATS behavior).
- RefreshLoop re-registers before the JWT expires (~75% of its lifetime),
  updating the credentials served to the connection.
- Both are bounded (default 100 attempts / consecutive failures) and
  return an error on exhaustion, so an unapprovable or unrenewable worker
  exits non-zero and surfaces the problem instead of hanging or drifting
  toward an expired credential.

The messaging client gains WithUserJWTProvider, fetching credentials on
each (re)connect so the connection transparently adopts a refreshed JWT
when the server expires the old one. RegisterFull exposes the approval
status and full response; Register delegates to it.

Both the backend worker and the agent worker are wired to this: explicit
env credentials are used as-is, minted credentials are acquired-with-wait
and refreshed, and a permanent refresh failure shuts the worker down so it
restarts and re-acquires.

Tests cover Acquire (wait-through-pending, bounded give-up, context
cancel), RefreshLoop (refresh-before-expiry, bounded failure, no-expiry
exit) and jwtExpiry decoding. Docs updated in distributed-mode.md.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto c01ed631d6 refactor(routing): extract replica picker into pkg/clusterrouting (#10123)
Move ReplicaCandidate and PickBestReplica out of core/services/nodes (which depends on gorm) into a new dependency-light leaf package pkg/clusterrouting, so the p2p federation server can later share the same replica-selection policy without pulling in a database driver.

core/services/nodes keeps a type alias and a thin delegator, so every existing reference (the LoadedReplicaStats interface method, the ReplicaCandidate row conversion in registry.go, and the SQL policy-mirror test) compiles and behaves unchanged. This is a pure, behavior-preserving refactor: the full nodes suite, including the policy-mirror spec that pins the SQL ORDER BY to PickBestReplica, stays green.
