* feat(voice-recognition): add /v1/voice/{verify,analyze,embed} + speaker-recognition backend
Audio analog to face recognition. Adds three gRPC RPCs
(VoiceVerify / VoiceAnalyze / VoiceEmbed), their Go service and HTTP
layers, a new FLAG_SPEAKER_RECOGNITION capability flag, and a Python
backend scaffold under backend/python/speaker-recognition/ wrapping
SpeechBrain ECAPA-TDNN with a parallel OnnxDirectEngine for
WeSpeaker / 3D-Speaker ONNX exports.
The kokoros Rust backend gets matching unimplemented trait stubs —
tonic's async_trait has no defaults, so adding an RPC without Rust
stubs breaks the build (same regression fixed by eb01c772 for face).
Swagger, /api/instructions, and the auth RouteFeatureRegistry /
APIFeatures list are updated so the endpoints surface everywhere a
client or admin UI looks.

* feat(voice-recognition): add 1:N identify + register/forget endpoints
Mirrors the face-recognition register/identify/forget surface. New
package core/services/voicerecognition/ carries a Registry interface
and a local-store-backed implementation (same in-memory vector-store
plumbing facerecognition uses, separate instance so the embedding
spaces stay isolated).
Handlers under /v1/voice/{register,identify,forget} reuse
backend.VoiceEmbed to compute the probe vector, then delegate the
nearest-neighbour search to the registry. Default cosine-distance
threshold is tuned for ECAPA-TDNN on VoxCeleb (0.25, EER ~1.9%).
As with the face registry, the current backing is in-memory only — a
pgvector implementation is a future constructor-level swap.

* feat(voice-recognition): gallery, docs, CI and e2e coverage
- backend/index.yaml: speaker-recognition backend entry + CPU and
CUDA-12 image variants (plus matching development variants).
- gallery/index.yaml: speechbrain-ecapa-tdnn (default) and
wespeaker-resnet34 model entries. The WeSpeaker SHA-256 is a
deliberate placeholder — the HF URI must be curl'd and its hash
filled in before the entry installs.
- docs/content/features/voice-recognition.md: API reference + quickstart,
mirrors the face-recognition docs.
- React UI: CAP_SPEAKER_RECOGNITION flag export (consumers follow face's
precedent — no dedicated tab yet).
- tests/e2e-backends: voice_embed / voice_verify / voice_analyze specs.
Helper resolveFaceFixture is reused as-is — the only thing face/voice
share is "download a file into workDir", so no need for a new helper.
- Makefile: docker-build-speaker-recognition + test-extra-backend-
speaker-recognition-{ecapa,all} targets. Audio fixtures default to
VCTK p225/p226 samples from HuggingFace.
- CI: test-extra.yml grows a tests-speaker-recognition-grpc job
mirroring insightface. backend.yml matrix gains CPU + CUDA-12 image
build entries — scripts/changed-backends.js auto-picks these up.

* feat(voice-recognition): wire a working /v1/voice/analyze head
Adds AnalysisHead: a lazy-loading age / gender / emotion inference
wrapper that plugs into both SpeechBrainEngine and OnnxDirectEngine.
Defaults to two open-licence HuggingFace checkpoints:
- audeering/wav2vec2-large-robust-24-ft-age-gender (Apache 2.0) —
age regression + 3-way gender (female / male / child).
- superb/wav2vec2-base-superb-er (Apache 2.0) — 4-way emotion.
Both are optional and degrade gracefully when transformers or the
model can't be loaded — the engine raises NotImplementedError so the
gRPC layer returns 501 instead of a generic 500.
Emotion classes pass through from the model (neutral/happy/angry/sad
on the default checkpoint); the e2e test now accepts any non-empty
dominant gender so custom age_gender_model overrides don't fail it.
Adds transformers to the backend's CPU and CUDA-12 requirements.

* fix(voice-recognition): pin real WeSpeaker ResNet34 ONNX SHA-256
Replaces the placeholder hash in gallery/index.yaml with the actual
SHA-256 (7bb2f06e…) of the upstream
Wespeaker/wespeaker-voxceleb-resnet34-LM ONNX at ~25MB. `local-ai
models install wespeaker-resnet34` now succeeds.

* fix(voice-recognition): soundfile loader + honest analyze default
Two issues surfaced on first end-to-end smoke with the actual backend
image:
1. torchaudio.load in torchaudio 2.8+ requires the torchcodec package
for audio decoding. Switch SpeechBrainEngine._load_waveform to the
already-present soundfile (listed in requirements.txt) plus a numpy
linear resample to 16kHz. Drops a heavy ffmpeg-linked dep and the
codepath we never exercise (torchaudio's ffmpeg backend).
2. The AnalysisHead was defaulting to audeering/wav2vec2-large-robust-
24-ft-age-gender, but AutoModelForAudioClassification silently
mangles that checkpoint — it reports the age head weights as
UNEXPECTED and re-initialises the classifier head with random
values, so the "gender" output is noise and there is no age output
at all. Make age/gender opt-in instead (empty default; users wire
a cleanly-loadable Wav2Vec2ForSequenceClassification checkpoint via
age_gender_model: option). Emotion keeps its working Superb default.
Also broaden _infer_age_gender's tensor-shape handling and catch
runtime exceptions so a dodgy age/gender head never takes down the
whole analyze call.
Docs and README updated to match the new policy.
Verified with the branch-scoped gallery on localhost:
- voice/embed → 192-d ECAPA-TDNN vector
- voice/verify → same-clip dist≈6e-08 verified=true; cross-speaker
dist 0.76–0.99 verified=false (as expected)
- voice/register/identify/forget → round-trip works, 404 on unknown id
- voice/analyze → emotion populated, age/gender omitted (opt-in)

* fix(voice-recognition): real CI audio fixtures + fixture-agnostic verify spec
Two issues surfaced after CI actually ran the speaker-recognition e2e
target (I'd curl-tested against a running server but hadn't run the
make target locally):
1. The default BACKEND_TEST_VOICE_AUDIO_* URLs pointed at
huggingface.co/datasets/CSTR-Edinburgh/vctk paths that return 404
(the dataset is gated). Swap them for the speechbrain test samples
served from github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/raw/develop/ —
public, no auth, correct 16kHz mono format.
2. The VoiceVerify spec required d(file1,file2) < 0.4, assuming
file1/file2 were same-speaker. The speechbrain samples are three
different speakers (example1/2/5), and there is no easy un-gated
source of true same-speaker audio pairs (VoxCeleb/VCTK/LibriSpeech
are all license- or size-gated for CI use). Replace the ceiling
check with a relative-ordering assertion: d(pair) > d(same-clip)
for both file2 and file3 — that's enough to prove the embeddings
encode speaker info, and it works with any three non-identical
clips. Actual speaker ordering d(1,2) vs d(1,3) is logged but not
asserted.
Local run: 4/4 voice specs pass (Health, LoadModel, VoiceEmbed,
VoiceVerify) on the built backend image. 12 non-voice specs skipped
as expected.

* fix(ci): checkout with submodules in the reusable backend_build workflow
The kokoros Rust backend build fails with
failed to read .../sources/Kokoros/kokoros/Cargo.toml: No such file
because the reusable backend_build.yml workflow's actions/checkout
step was missing `submodules: true`. Dockerfile.rust does `COPY .
/LocalAI`, and without the submodule files the subsequent `cargo
build` can't find the vendored Kokoros crate.
The bug pre-dates this PR — scripts/changed-backends.js only triggers
the kokoros image job when something under backend/rust/kokoros or
the shared proto changes, so master had been coasting past it. The
voice-recognition proto addition re-broke it.
Other checkouts in backend.yml (llama-cpp-darwin) and test-extra.yml
(insightface, kokoros, speaker-recognition) already pass
`submodules: true`; this brings the shared backend image builder in
line.

* feat(face-recognition): add insightface backend for 1:1 verify, 1:N identify, embedding, detection, analysis
Adds face recognition as a new first-class capability in LocalAI via the
`insightface` Python backend, with a pluggable two-engine design so
non-commercial (insightface model packs) and commercial-safe
(OpenCV Zoo YuNet + SFace) models share the same gRPC/HTTP surface.
New gRPC RPCs (backend/backend.proto):
* FaceVerify(FaceVerifyRequest) returns FaceVerifyResponse
* FaceAnalyze(FaceAnalyzeRequest) returns FaceAnalyzeResponse
Existing Embedding and Detect RPCs are reused (face image in
PredictOptions.Images / DetectOptions.src) for face embedding and
face detection respectively.
New HTTP endpoints under /v1/face/:
* verify — 1:1 image pair same-person decision
* analyze — per-face age + gender (emotion/race reserved)
* register — 1:N enrollment; stores embedding in vector store
* identify — 1:N recognition; detect → embed → StoresFind
* forget — remove a registered face by opaque ID
Service layer (core/services/facerecognition/) introduces a
`Registry` interface with one in-memory `storeRegistry` impl backed
by LocalAI's existing local-store gRPC vector backend. HTTP handlers
depend on the interface, not on StoresSet/StoresFind directly, so a
persistent PostgreSQL/pgvector implementation can be slotted in via a
single constructor change in core/application (TODO marker in the
package doc).
New usecase flag FLAG_FACE_RECOGNITION; insightface is also wired
into FLAG_DETECTION so /v1/detection works for face bounding boxes.
Gallery (backend/index.yaml) ships three entries:
* insightface-buffalo-l — SCRFD-10GF + ArcFace R50 + genderage
(~326MB pre-baked; non-commercial research use only)
* insightface-opencv — YuNet + SFace (~40MB pre-baked; Apache 2.0)
* insightface-buffalo-s — SCRFD-500MF + MBF (runtime download; non-commercial)
Python backend (backend/python/insightface/):
* engines.py — FaceEngine protocol with InsightFaceEngine and
OnnxDirectEngine; resolves model paths relative to the backend
directory so the same gallery config works in docker-scratch and
in the e2e-backends rootfs-extraction harness.
* backend.py — gRPC servicer implementing Health, LoadModel, Status,
Embedding, Detect, FaceVerify, FaceAnalyze.
* install.sh — pre-bakes buffalo_l + OpenCV YuNet/SFace inside the
backend directory so first-run is offline-clean (the final scratch
image only preserves files under /<backend>/).
* test.py — parametrized unit tests over both engines.
Tests:
* Registry unit tests (go test -race ./core/services/facerecognition/...)
— in-memory fake grpc.Backend, table-driven, covers register/
identify/forget/error paths + concurrent access.
* tests/e2e-backends/backend_test.go extended with face caps
(face_detect, face_embed, face_verify, face_analyze); relative
ordering + configurable verifyCeiling per engine.
* Makefile targets: test-extra-backend-insightface-buffalo-l,
-opencv, and the -all aggregate.
* CI: .github/workflows/test-extra.yml gains tests-insightface-grpc,
auto-triggered by changes under backend/python/insightface/.
Docs:
* docs/content/features/face-recognition.md — feature page with
license table, quickstart (defaults to the commercial-safe model),
models matrix, API reference, 1:N workflow, storage caveats.
* Cross-refs in object-detection.md, stores.md, embeddings.md, and
whats-new.md.
* Contributor README at backend/python/insightface/README.md.
Verified end-to-end:
* buffalo_l: 6/6 specs (health, load, face_detect, face_embed,
face_verify, face_analyze).
* opencv: 5/5 specs (same minus face_analyze — SFace has no
demographic head; correctly skipped via BACKEND_TEST_CAPS).

* fix(face-recognition): move engine selection to model gallery, collapse backend entries
The previous commit put engine/model_pack options on backend gallery
entries (`backend/index.yaml`). That was wrong — `GalleryBackend`
(core/gallery/backend_types.go:32) has no `options` field, so the
YAML decoder silently dropped those keys and all three "different
insightface-*" backend entries resolved to the same container image
with no distinguishing configuration.
Correct split:
* `backend/index.yaml` now has ONE `insightface` backend entry
shipping the CPU + CUDA 12 container images. The Python backend
bundles both the non-commercial insightface model packs
(buffalo_l / buffalo_s) and the commercial-safe OpenCV Zoo
weights (YuNet + SFace); the active engine is selected at
LoadModel time via `options: ["engine:..."]`.
* `gallery/index.yaml` gains three model entries —
`insightface-buffalo-l`, `insightface-opencv`,
`insightface-buffalo-s` — each setting the appropriate
`overrides.backend` + `overrides.options` so installing one
actually gives the user the intended engine. This matches how
`rfdetr-base` lives in the model gallery against the `rfdetr`
backend.
The earlier e2e tests passed despite this bug because the Makefile
targets pass `BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS` directly to LoadModel via gRPC,
bypassing any gallery resolution entirely. No code changes needed.

* feat(face-recognition): cover all supported models in the gallery + drop weight baking
Follows up on the model-gallery split: adds entries for every model
configuration either engine actually supports, and switches weight
delivery from image-baked to LocalAI's standard gallery mechanism.
Gallery now has seven `insightface-*` model entries (gallery/index.yaml):
insightface (family) — non-commercial research use
• buffalo-l (326MB) — SCRFD-10GF + ResNet50 + genderage, default
• buffalo-m (313MB) — SCRFD-2.5GF + ResNet50 + genderage
• buffalo-s (159MB) — SCRFD-500MF + MBF + genderage
• buffalo-sc (16MB) — SCRFD-500MF + MBF, recognition only
(no landmarks, no demographics — analyze
returns empty attributes)
• antelopev2 (407MB) — SCRFD-10GF + ResNet100@Glint360K + genderage
OpenCV Zoo family — Apache 2.0 commercial-safe
• opencv — YuNet + SFace fp32 (~40MB)
• opencv-int8 — YuNet + SFace int8 (~12MB, ~3x smaller, faster on CPU)
Model weights are no longer baked into the backend image. The image
now ships only the Python runtime + libraries (~275MB content size,
~1.18GB disk vs ~1.21GB when weights were baked). Weights flow through
LocalAI's gallery mechanism:
* OpenCV variants list `files:` with ONNX URIs + SHA-256, so
`local-ai models install insightface-opencv` pulls them into the
models directory exactly like any other gallery-managed model.
* insightface packs (upstream distributes .zip archives only, not
individual ONNX files) auto-download on first LoadModel via
FaceAnalysis' built-in machinery, rooted at the LocalAI models
directory so they live alongside everything else — same pattern
`rfdetr` uses with `inference.get_model()`.
Backend changes (backend/python/insightface/):
* backend.py — LoadModel propagates `ModelOptions.ModelPath` (the
LocalAI models directory) to engines via a `_model_dir` hint.
This replaces the earlier ModelFile-dirname approach; ModelPath
is the canonical "models directory" variable set by the Go loader
(pkg/model/initializers.go:144) and is always populated.
* engines.py::_resolve_model_path — picks up `model_dir` and searches
it (plus basename-in-model-dir) before falling back to the dev
script-dir. This is how OnnxDirectEngine finds gallery-downloaded
YuNet/SFace files by filename only.
* engines.py::_flatten_insightface_pack — new helper that works
around an upstream packaging inconsistency: buffalo_l/s/sc zips
expand flat, but buffalo_m and antelopev2 zips wrap their ONNX
files in a redundant `<name>/` directory. insightface's own
loader looks one level too shallow and fails. We call
`ensure_available()` explicitly, flatten if nested, then hand to
FaceAnalysis.
* engines.py::InsightFaceEngine.prepare — root-resolution order now
includes the `_model_dir` hint so packs download into the LocalAI
models directory by default.
* install.sh — no longer pre-downloads any weights. Everything is
gallery-managed now.
* smoke.py (new) — parametrized smoke test that iterates over every
gallery configuration, simulating the LocalAI install flow
(creates a models dir, fetches OpenCV files with checksum
verification, lets insightface auto-download its packs), then
runs detect + embed + verify (+ analyze where supported) through
the in-process BackendServicer.
* test.py — OnnxDirectEngineTest no longer hardcodes `/models/opencv/`
paths; downloads ONNX files to a temp dir at setUpClass time and
passes ModelPath accordingly.
Registry change (core/services/facerecognition/store_registry.go):
* `dim=0` in NewStoreRegistry now means "accept whatever dimension
arrives" — needed because the backend supports 512-d ArcFace/MBF
and 128-d SFace via the same Registry. A non-zero dim still fails
fast with ErrDimensionMismatch.
* core/application plumbs `faceEmbeddingDim = 0`, explaining the
rationale in the comment.
Backend gallery description updated to reflect that the image carries
no weights — it's just Python + engines.
Smoke-tested all 7 configurations against the rebuilt image (with the
flatten fix applied), exit 0:
PASS: insightface-buffalo-l faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000
PASS: insightface-buffalo-sc faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000

* fix(face-recognition): pre-fetch OpenCV ONNX for e2e target; drop stale pre-baked claim
CI regression from the previous commit: I moved OpenCV Zoo weight
delivery to LocalAI's gallery `files:` mechanism, but the
test-extra-backend-insightface-opencv target was still passing
relative paths `detector_onnx:models/opencv/yunet.onnx` in
BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS. The e2e suite drives LoadModel directly over
gRPC without going through the gallery, so those relative paths
resolved to nothing and OpenCV's ONNXImporter failed:
LoadModel failed: Failed to load face engine:
OpenCV(4.13.0) ... Can't read ONNX file: models/opencv/yunet.onnx
Fix: add an `insightface-opencv-models` prerequisite target that
fetches the two ONNX files (YuNet + SFace) to a deterministic host
cache at /tmp/localai-insightface-opencv-cache/, verifies SHA-256,
and skips the download on re-runs. The opencv test target depends on
it and passes absolute paths in BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS, so the backend
finds the files via its normal absolute-path resolution branch.
Also refresh the buffalo_l comment: it no longer says "pre-baked"
(nothing is — the pack auto-downloads from upstream's GitHub release
on first LoadModel, same as in CI).
Locally verified: `make test-extra-backend-insightface-opencv` passes
5/5 specs (health, load, face_detect, face_embed, face_verify).

* feat(face-recognition): add POST /v1/face/embed + correct /v1/embeddings docs
The docs promised that /v1/embeddings returns face vectors when you
send an image data-URI. That was never true: /v1/embeddings is
OpenAI-compatible and text-only by contract — its handler goes
through `core/backend/embeddings.go::ModelEmbedding`, which sets
`predictOptions.Embeddings = s` (a string of TEXT to embed) and never
populates `predictOptions.Images[]`. The Python backend's Embedding
gRPC method does handle Images[] (that's how /v1/face/register reaches
it internally via `backend.FaceEmbed`), but the HTTP embeddings
endpoint wasn't wired to populate it.
Rather than overload /v1/embeddings with image-vs-text detection —
messy, and the endpoint is OpenAI-compatible by design — add a
dedicated /v1/face/embed endpoint that wraps `backend.FaceEmbed`
(already used internally by /v1/face/register and /v1/face/identify).
Matches LocalAI's convention of a dedicated path per non-standard flow
(/v1/rerank, /v1/detection, /v1/face/verify etc.).
Response:
{
"embedding": [<dim> floats, L2-normed],
"dim": int, // 512 for ArcFace R50 / MBF, 128 for SFace
"model": "<name>"
}
Live-tested on the opencv engine: returns a 128-d L2-normalized vector
(sum(x^2) = 1.0000). Sentinel in docs updated to note /v1/embeddings
is text-only and point image users at /v1/face/embed instead.

* fix(http): map malformed image input + gRPC status codes to proper 4xx
Image-input failures on LocalAI's single-image endpoints (/v1/detection,
/v1/face/{verify,analyze,embed,register,identify}) have historically
returned 500 — even when the client was the one who sent garbage.
Classic example: you POST an "image" that isn't a URL, isn't a
data-URI, and isn't a valid JPEG/PNG — the server shouldn't claim
that's its fault.
Two helpers land in core/http/endpoints/localai/images.go and every
single-image handler is switched over:
* decodeImageInput(s)
Wraps utils.GetContentURIAsBase64 and turns any failure
(invalid URL, not a data-URI, download error, etc.) into
echo.NewHTTPError(400, "invalid image input: ...").
* mapBackendError(err)
Inspects the gRPC status on a backend call error and maps:
INVALID_ARGUMENT → 400 Bad Request
NOT_FOUND → 404 Not Found
FAILED_PRECONDITION → 412 Precondition Failed
Unimplemented → 501 Not Implemented
All other codes fall through unchanged (still 500).
Before, my 1×1 PNG error-path test returned:
HTTP 500 "rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = failed to decode one or both images"
After:
HTTP 400 "failed to decode one or both images"
Scope-limited to the LocalAI single-image endpoints. The multi-modal
paths (middleware/request.go, openresponses/responses.go,
openai/realtime.go) intentionally log-and-skip individual media parts
when decoding fails — different design intent (graceful degradation
of a multi-part message), not a 400-worthy failure. Left untouched.
Live-verified: every error case in /tmp/face_errors.py now returns
4xx with a meaningful message; the "image with no face (1x1 PNG)"
case specifically went from 500 → 400.

* refactor(face-recognition): insightface packs go through gallery files:, drop FaceAnalysis
Follows up on the discovery that LocalAI's gallery `files:` mechanism
handles archives (zip, tar.gz, …) via mholt/archiver/v3 — the rhasspy
piper voices use exactly this pattern. Insightface packs are zip
archives, so we can now deliver them the same way every other
gallery-managed model gets delivered: declaratively, checksum-verified,
through LocalAI's standard download+extract pipeline.
Two changes:
1. Gallery (gallery/index.yaml) — every insightface-* entry gains a
`files:` list with the pack zip's URI + SHA-256. `local-ai models
install insightface-buffalo-l` now fetches the zip, verifies the
hash, and extracts it into the models directory. No more reliance
on insightface's library-internal `ensure_available()` auto-download
or its hardcoded `BASE_REPO_URL`.
2. InsightFaceEngine (backend/python/insightface/engines.py) — drops
the FaceAnalysis wrapper and drives insightface's `model_zoo`
directly. The ~50 lines FaceAnalysis provides — glob ONNX files,
route each through `model_zoo.get_model()`, build a
`{taskname: model}` dict, loop per-face at inference — are
reimplemented in `InsightFaceEngine`. The actual inference classes
(RetinaFace, ArcFaceONNX, Attribute, Landmark) are still
insightface's — we only replicate the glue, so drift risk against
upstream is minimal.
Why drop FaceAnalysis: it hard-codes a `<root>/models/<name>/*.onnx`
layout that doesn't match what LocalAI's zip extraction produces.
LocalAI unpacks archives flat into `<models_dir>`. Upstream packs
are inconsistent — buffalo_l/s/sc ship ONNX at the zip root (lands
at `<models_dir>/*.onnx`), buffalo_m/antelopev2 wrap in a redundant
`<name>/` dir (lands at `<models_dir>/<name>/*.onnx`). The new
`_locate_insightface_pack` helper searches both locations plus
legacy paths and returns whichever has ONNX files. Replaces the
earlier `_flatten_insightface_pack` helper (which tried to fight
FaceAnalysis's layout expectations; now we just find the files
wherever they are).
Net effect for users: install once via LocalAI's managed flow,
weights live alongside every other model, progress shows in the
jobs endpoint, no first-load network call. Same API surface,
cleaner plumbing.

* fix(face-recognition): CI's insightface e2e path needs the pack pre-fetched
The e2e suite drives LoadModel over gRPC without going through LocalAI's
gallery flow, so the engine's `_model_dir` option (normally populated
from ModelPath) is empty. Previously the insightface target relied on
FaceAnalysis auto-download to paper over this, but we dropped
FaceAnalysis in favor of direct model_zoo calls — so the buffalo_l
target started failing at LoadModel with "no insightface pack found".
Mirror the opencv target's pre-fetch pattern: download buffalo_sc.zip
(same SHA as the gallery entry), extract it on the host, and pass
`root:<dir>` so the engine locates the pack without needing
ModelPath. Switched to buffalo_sc (smallest pack, ~16MB) to keep CI
fast; it covers the same insightface engine code path as buffalo_l.
Face analyze cap dropped since buffalo_sc has no age/gender head.

* feat(face-recognition): surface face-recognition in advertised feature maps
The six /v1/face/* endpoints were missing from every place LocalAI
advertises its feature surface to clients:
* api_instructions — the machine-readable capability index at
GET /api/instructions. Added `face-recognition` as a dedicated
instruction area with an intro that calls out the in-memory
registry caveat and the /v1/face/embed vs /v1/embeddings split.
* auth/permissions — added FeatureFaceRecognition constant, routed
all six face endpoints through it so admins can gate them per-user
like any other API feature. Default ON (matches the other API
features).
* React UI capabilities — CAP_FACE_RECOGNITION symbol mapped to
FLAG_FACE_RECOGNITION. Declared only for now; the Face page is a
follow-up (noted in the plan).
Instruction count bumped 9 → 10; test updated.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m]
* docs(agents): capture advertising-surface steps in the endpoint guide
Before this change, adding a new /v1/* endpoint reliably missed one or
more of: the swagger @Tags annotation, the /api/instructions registry,
the auth RouteFeatureRegistry, and the React UI CAP_* symbol. The
endpoint would work but be invisible to API consumers, admins, and the
UI — and nothing in the existing docs said to look in those places.
Extend .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md with a new "Advertising
surfaces" section covering all four surfaces (swagger tags, /api/
instructions, capabilities.js, docs/), and expand the closing checklist
so it's impossible to ship a feature without visiting each one. Hoist a
one-liner reminder into AGENTS.md's Quick Reference so agents skim it
before diving in.
