mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto b39d37f559 feat(agents): limit saved agents to one folder (#13009)
* Store the folder and its mode on a saved agent

A saved agent gets FolderID, the workspace node of its folder, and
FolderMode, read or write. The folder is kept by node so that a rename
or a move is followed. A mode without a node is an agent whose folder
is not chosen yet; Validate accepts it, and refuses a node without a
mode.

The GORM store adds two columns with defaults, so AutoMigrate fills
the rows of existing agents as agents without a folder. The JSON store
reads a file without the keys the same way. Both stores pass the new
contract case.

* Keep on a chat whether its saved agent had a folder

A chat whose agent is deleted runs today without the agent's grants.
When that agent had a folder, nothing is left to say which folder the
chat may read, so the chat must be refused instead of getting the whole
home. ChatRecord.ScopedAgent records that the agent had a folder.

CreateChat writes the flag and SetScopedAgent changes it. UpdateChat
leaves it alone, like the tool switches, so the loop's stale copy of
the record cannot clear it. Both chat stores read chats stored before
the flag as not scoped; the GORM column has a default, so AutoMigrate
is the migration.

* Add the design and plan for agent folder scope

A saved agent works on the whole home folder of its user. The spec
lets the user give an agent one folder and a mode, read only or read
and write, and confines every chat that runs it to that folder.

The workspace store enforces the folder through a fence on the actor,
so a caller that forgets it gets less access, not more. The spec maps
every caller that builds a user actor today, including the host bash,
the sandbox runner and the add-on workspace operations, and how each
is moved to the chat's access.

The plan splits the work into ten lanes; the store fence and the agent
record come first.

* Resolve the folder of a saved agent by node

A person chooses an agent's folder by its path in their home; the
agent keeps the node, so a rename or a move is followed. The new
FolderResolver turns the path into the node and back, always as the
user. A path is refused when it is not a live folder, when it is
LocalAI/ or Chats/ or inside them, or when it names a parent. The
home itself ("/") is allowed.

The workspace stores cannot find a node by its ID yet. PathOf reads
the newest change sets of the home first, checks the path it finds
with Stat, and else lists the folders the user can read. A store that
implements NodeByID is used instead. Nothing is cached, so every
frontend answers the same.

SaveAgent keeps the stored folder when it replaces an agent, so a
caller that knows nothing of folders cannot widen one.
SaveAgentWithFolder sets or clears it. ImportAgent looks the folder of
a file up in the importer's home, and saves a folder that is not there
as unset: the mode without a node, which does not start.

* Add a fence to the workspace actor

A chat whose saved agent has a folder must reach only that folder and
the chat's own folders. The store needs to know which folders those
are on every call, so the actor carries them.

Actor.Fenced returns a copy that reaches only the given folders, by
node ID, each at most at its mode. The fence is an unexported field:
a copy of the actor keeps it, and only Fenced can set it. Fencing a
fenced actor adds a layer, and a node is reached only when every
layer allows it, so a fence never grows.

The helpers in export.go let both store implementations apply the
same rules: the mode a fence allows on a node, its roots, and the
limit of MaxFenceRoots roots per call.

* Show and choose the folder of an agent in the API

The agent routes carry folder. A write takes {path, mode}: the server
turns the path into the folder's node, and refuses with 400 a path
that is not a folder of the user's home, or is LocalAI or Chats. A
write without folder keeps the agent's folder, so a client that does
not know the field cannot widen the agent; {path: ""} clears it. A
read answers the folder's path now, its name, the mode and a state:
ok, missing or unset. The node never leaves the server.

An agent with a folder exports as version 2, with the folder's path
and mode. A server that reads only version 1 refuses that file, so a
scoped agent is never imported elsewhere as one with all the files.
An agent without a folder still exports as version 1. The import
reads both versions and looks the folder up in the importer's home;
a folder that is not there saves the agent as unset, with a warning.

The Swagger spec, the API instructions and the agents docs page show
the field and the new file version.

* Enforce the actor fence in both workspace stores

The store is the one place every file call of a chat goes through, so
it applies the fence: a caller that forgets the agent's folder gets
"not found", never the whole workspace.

- The mode of a fenced actor on a node is the lower of its grants and
  the fence. A root in the Trash counts for nothing, and is back after
  Undo, because the fence holds the node ID.
- A fenced actor never takes the administrator shortcut, so it cannot
  grant, revoke or list grants, and ReadablePrefixes gives only fence
  roots or folders inside them.
- A root cannot be deleted, moved or renamed by the fenced actor, by
  any path: Move, Delete, Undo, an upper layer, or a delete of a folder
  above a nested root.
- A fence with too many roots or a bad root is ErrInvalid.

The shared suite in wstest runs the new specs against the JSON store
and the GORM store (SQLite and PostgreSQL).

* Map the model's paths through the chat's place

A chat's file tools spelled every path as a path in the user's home.
A chat whose agent has a folder sees that folder at /workspace/home and
its own chat folder at /workspace/chat, so the mapping must come from
the mounts of the chat's view, not from the principal.

session.Place maps a path the model writes to a workspace path: "/x",
"x", "home/x" and "/workspace/home/x" are x in the primary mount,
"/workspace/<name>/x" is x in the mount of that exact name, and the
skill layers keep their names. It refuses "..", NUL, control characters
and invalid UTF-8 wherever they point, and a /workspace path that is no
mount. Encoded and look-alike separators stay part of a name. Place is
only a mapping: the store's fence enforces the access.

session.Access holds a turn's actor, view and place. It has no exported
fields and one constructor, so a tool cannot be built from a principal
string. Owner gives the user's own actor without the fence.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Build a chat's view from its folders and describe it

BuildView took the home of the principal as the folder at
/workspace/home. A chat whose agent has a folder needs that folder
there, at the agent's mode, and its own chat folder beside it.

BuildView now takes the primary folder and the chat folder. The chat
folder is mounted at /workspace/chat, read and write; the name chat is
reserved like the skill layer names. The store caps each mount at the
actor's mode, and a fenced actor gets the shared folders read only.
Every caller passes the home and no chat folder, so an unscoped chat
keeps today's view.

LayoutPrompt takes a ScopedPrompt. A scoped chat hears only of its
folders: the agent's folder by its name and mode, with a line that it
cannot see the user's other files, the chat folder and where its
working files go, and the shared folders. It gets no hint to build a
page, because pages live outside its folder. An unscoped chat keeps
today's text.

* Find a workspace node by its ID

A caller that keeps a node ID, such as the folder of a saved agent,
had no way to ask the store where that node is now. It had to search
the journal and then list folders, which costs one query per folder
in a large home.

Store.NodeByID returns a live node at its current path, so a rename
or a move of the node or of a folder above it is followed. It answers
ErrNotFound when the node or a folder above it is deleted, and when
the actor cannot read it; a fenced actor finds only nodes inside its
fence. Both stores implement it and the shared suite checks it. The
remote store of the Sandbox add-on refuses it, like its other calls.

* Name the work folder of a scoped chat at /workspace/chat

A chat whose agent has a folder keeps its chat folder in the home, but
sees it as a mount of its own at /workspace/chat. Its work folder is
then /workspace/chat/work, not a path under /workspace/home.

workfiles reads /workspace/chat as the chat folder: a helper file under
its work folder is working, a script beside the attachments is a stray
helper, and a folder named chat in the agent's folder is an ordinary
folder. ScopedPrompt steers the model to that work folder and sends the
deliverables to the agent's folder, or to the chat folder when the
agent may only read. It says nothing of pages or of the settings
folder, which are outside the agent's folder. The chat picks the text
by its view.

* Look up the folder of an agent by node

The folder resolver searched the journal of the home and then listed
folders to find where an agent's folder is now. The stores can now
find a node by its ID, so the resolver asks them directly and the
search is gone.

* Resolve the file and media tools through the chat's access

The file tools mapped paths to the user's home and acted as the chat's
actor, and the media tools did the same through files.HomePath. A chat
whose agent has a folder must reach only its folders, and search must
start in the agent's folder, so the count of documents still being
indexed cannot count files elsewhere in the home.

files.Service.Tools and media.Service.Tools take a session.Access. Every
path goes through its place and every call acts as its actor. A write
to a read-only folder is refused before the store sees it. A search
with no path starts at the primary folder, and in a scoped chat also
looks in the chat folder; the pending count is taken below that root.
files.HomePath is removed.

UnscopedAccess builds today's access of a chat (the home and the
shared folders), and the studio service takes the turn's access from
one function, turnAccess, which gives that access until the chat
access resolver replaces it.

The new specs run the paths that try to leave the folder (parents,
absolute and doubled paths, encoded and look-alike separators, NUL,
other cases) through every file tool and the media tools, and check
that nothing outside the folder is read, named or changed, and that
search counts no pending file outside it.

* Resolve the access of a chat at every turn

A chat whose saved agent has a folder must reach only that folder. Up
to now every chat got the user's actor, which reaches the whole home.

The chat's access is now resolved from the stores at every turn
start. With no agent folder it is the actor and the view of today.
With a folder the actor is fenced to the agent's folder at its mode,
the chat's own folder read and write, and the shared folders and the
skill layers read only; the chat's folder is made before the fence,
because a fenced actor cannot make it. A sub-agent takes the folder
of its parent's agent, and its own agent's folder inside it.

A folder that is deleted, unreadable or not chosen refuses the chat
with ErrAgentFolderMissing; it never falls back to the whole home.
A chat records whether its agent had a folder, so a chat whose agent
was deleted is refused too. CreateAs refuses such an agent at once.

session.Access carries the actor and the view, has no exported fields
and one constructor. Open takes it, the turn tools are built from it,
and an open chat compares the fence as well, so an edit of the agent
restarts the harness at the next turn on any frontend. The person's
uploads and renames use the owner's actor, without the fence. The
files a command changed are read as the chat can read them.

Nothing is kept between turns, so frontends cannot disagree.

* List a scoped chat's files by its place in the prompt

The turn prompt lists the chat's files with the paths the model uses.
For a chat whose agent has a folder those paths come from its mounts,
and a file the chat touched outside its folders, for example before
the agent got a folder, must not be named.

Manager.FilesIn is Files with a place. For a scoped place, each file
is named by its mount (/workspace/home for the agent's folder,
/workspace/chat for the chat folder) and a file outside every mount is
left out. Other places give what Files gives. The prompt's file list
uses the turn's place; the chats API keeps the user-wide list.

* Answer 409 when an agent's folder is missing

A chat with a saved agent whose folder is missing or not chosen does
not start. The chat endpoints now say so with 409 and the type
agent_folder_missing, both when the chat is created and when a
message is sent to an open chat, instead of a server error.

The agent docs say what a chat with a folder reaches, when a change
of the folder applies, and that nothing is kept between turns.

* Point a scoped chat at rules and work folders in its own folders

The rules nudge walked from the chat folder up to the home root and
named AGENTS.md files there, and the stray-helper note named the work
folder under /workspace/home. A chat whose agent has a folder must hear
only of its own folders.

The nudge takes the turn's access: it reads paths through the place,
starts at the primary folder (the agent's folder) and stops there, so
it never points above the folder or into the chat folder mount. The
helper note names /workspace/chat/work/ in a scoped chat, and a
sub-agent of a scoped parent gets the scoped work folder text.

* Find workspace actors built outside the chat access

An actor built from a principal has no fence and reaches the whole
home. A spec now parses the studio service, the command runners, the
add-on host operations and the application wiring, and fails on a
workspace.Actor literal, a files.UserActor call or an Actor(principal)
call in a function that is not on the allowlist. Each allowed entry
says why: a host read of the user's settings, a user surface, or a
caller that a later change moves to the chat's access. An entry that
builds no actor any more fails the spec too, so the list stays exact.

* Build the expected view of a chat with the view's folders

The spec of a chat without an agent folder compared its view with
BuildView called with the old arguments, so the test package did not
compile after the merge of the view builder. It now passes the home
as the primary folder and no chat folder, which is the view of an
unscoped chat.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Give every file tool of a turn the chat's resolved access

The resolver of a chat's access built the view of a scoped chat
itself, with no shared folders, while every other chat got its view
from the session manager. And the file tools, the media tools, the
chat's file list in the prompt, the rules nudge and the work folder
lines each asked for an access of their own, the view of the whole
home. A chat whose agent has a folder therefore had a fenced actor
but home-relative paths: it reached its folder only through paths
such as /Projects/Acme/a.txt, and its prompt named the home.

The session manager now builds every chat's view: UserAccess mounts
the home, and the new ScopedAccess mounts the agent's folder at home,
capped at the fence's mode, the chat folder at chat and the shared
folders read only. It refuses an actor without a fence, and a folder
outside the fence is an error, never a view of the home. The
resolver calls it with the innermost folder, so a sub-agent of a
saved agent still works in its own folder.

The access that the resolver builds once at the start of the turn
now goes down to every consumer. A sub-agent of a saved agent acts
for its parent chat with the same access (Access.ForChat), and a
generic sub-agent gets its tools from the parent's access. The seam
that gave the unscoped access, and the files service's own view
builder, are removed, so a new consumer cannot build a view by
mistake. A turn whose access has no folder gets no tools rather than
the home.

A scoped chat now sees its folder at /workspace/home and its chat
folder at /workspace/chat in its tools, its search, its prompt and
its work folder lines. A chat whose agent has no folder is unchanged.

* Find chat views built outside the chat access

The turn's access is resolved once and handed down, but nothing
stopped new code from building a view of its own, which shows a
scoped chat the whole home. A second scan now parses the same
sources as the actor scan and fails on a call of BuildView,
SkillLayerMounts, NewAccess, UserAccess or ScopedAccess, or on a
store's View, in a function that is not on its allowlist. The
resolver is the one allowed caller; the host bash, the sandbox
runner and the add-on host operations are listed until they take
the chat's access. A stale entry fails the scan too.

* Keep a sub-agent inside its parent's folder

A saved agent started from a scoped chat could name a folder
outside the chat's own, and the child was made before its first
turn failed with a message about a missing folder. spawn_agent now
checks the agent against the chat's agent from the stores before it
makes the child: no folder is fine, the same folder or one inside
it is fine, anything else fails with "this agent works in another
folder than this chat". The child never has more reach than its
parent, in folder or in mode.

The ScopedAgent flag of a sub-agent was reset to what its own
agent had at each turn. A child of a scoped chat with an agent
without a folder lost the mark, so deleting the parent's agent
would have given that child the whole home. The flag now follows
both folders.

New specs cover a generic child, a saved-agent child outside,
inside and at the parent's folder with the lower mode, a child
without a folder, and the work folder wording of a child of a
read-only or read-write parent.

* Show agent folders in list_agents and limit them by scope

list_agents gave a scoped chat every saved agent, including ones
that spawn_agent would refuse, and told the model nothing about
where an agent works. Each entry now carries the name of the
agent's folder and its mode, or folder_missing when the folder is
deleted or not chosen. The path is left out, since it would show
the folders above the chat's own. A chat whose agent has a folder
lists only the agents that fit under that folder, by the same check
spawn_agent makes.

The docs for saved agents as sub-agents and for the agent folder
describe both.

* Keep the triggers of a scoped agent to its folder

A chat of an agent with a folder reaches only that folder, but its
triggers still worked on the whole home. A file trigger could watch
any folder, the rules of a run were read from the home root down
with the user's actor, the first message named home paths, and a run
whose agent's folder was gone fell through to a failed chat start
after the host had already read the home's rules. The trigger tools
of a scoped chat could also list, change or propose triggers that
reach the whole home.

The agent's folder now bounds every step:

- Saving a file trigger (create, update, edit, confirm) refuses a
  folder outside the agent's folder, and a trigger of an agent whose
  folder is missing or not chosen.
- Each run checks the agent's folder before it reads anything. A
  missing or unset folder skips the run with "the agent's folder is
  missing" and switches the trigger off; a watched folder that is not
  inside the agent's folder does the same with its own reason. No
  chat is made and the owner is told.
- The folder check and the rules are read with an actor fenced to
  the agent's folder, read only, so no AGENTS.md above it is read.
  The rules of a schedule run start at the agent's folder. The first
  message names folders and the file as the chat sees them, under
  /workspace/home, and the rules nudge of the run's chat counts those
  rules as given.
- In a scoped chat the trigger tools read folders as paths of the
  chat's place, refuse one outside the agent's folder, and see only
  the triggers of that agent.

The trigger watcher takes the service's administrator actor, made
once next to the change feed's, and the trigger functions leave the
actor scan's allowlist.

* Send connector replies through the chat's access

The files a connector reply sends were listed from every change made
in the chat's name and read with the user's actor, so a reply of an
agent limited to one folder could send a file from anywhere in the
home that some host-side write had attributed to the chat. A message
to an agent whose folder was missing made or reopened a chat, failed
to start it, and answered with a generic error.

A reply now resolves the chat's access once, lists the turn's files
through its place (a file outside the chat's folders is left out)
and reads each one with its fenced actor. A file the access cannot
reach is skipped without being named. Before it makes a chat, a
message checks the bound agent's folder; when it is missing or not
chosen, the sender gets one reply, "This agent cannot work right
now: its folder is missing.", the refusal is logged and the binding
stays on. The same reply covers a folder that goes away between the
check and the turn. readChatFile leaves the actor scan's allowlist.

* Name a read-only refusal of a commit by its guest path

The store names an upper entry that a read-only mount refused by
its path in the view (/home/x), not by its store path. The note
that a command's output ends with took every path but an
outside-view one for a store path, so it told the model that
"/home/x was not saved", a path the guest does not have. A path
that no mount holds but that starts with a mount name is now taken
as a path of the view and gets the /workspace prefix.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Take the actor and view of command runners from the chat's access

The host bash and the sandbox runner made their own actor and view:
the host bash a user actor from the principal and the view of the
whole home, the sandbox runner a plain actor by default and the view
from its own mount requests. Neither knew the chat's agent folder,
so a command of a scoped chat could reach the whole home.

The runner now has no default actor or view. Options.Actor takes a
context and returns an error, and Options.View returns the view
itself; both are asked at every call. A view of another actor than
the chat's is refused, and a sandbox whose actor or mounts changed
is made again, so an agent's new folder or mode applies from the
next command. A failing resolver fails the call, also with a sandbox
running.

The server wires both hooks to the chat's resolved access: the new
Service.CommandActor and Service.CommandView, the latter refusing an
actor that is no longer the chat's. Access.SandboxView adds the skill
layers to the turn's view, at the names the file tools use. The host
bash refuses a fenced actor, at the tool and again at each call, as a
command on this machine reads what the server can read. The Sandbox
add-on passes a label actor and its home view: the host binds each
workspace operation to the call's chat.

The lane 5 entries leave the actor and view scan allowlists.

* Offer no host bash to a chat whose agent works in one folder

A command of the built-in bash runs on this machine and reads every
file LocalAI can read. No workspace rule confines it, so a chat whose
agent works in one folder cannot have it, whatever chats_host_exec
says. The tool's build now refuses a fenced actor, so the chat gets
no bash, its prompt says nothing runs commands, and the shell group
of the Tools menu gives the reason: the agent works in one folder
and runs commands only in the Sandbox add-on. Sub-agents of such a
chat have the fenced actor too.

The docs of saved agents and of the commands on this machine state
the rule and the Sandbox layout of a scoped chat.

* Tell a scoped chat where its Sandbox commands start and what they keep

The commands block of the prompt told every chat with the Sandbox
that a command starts in /workspace/home, the user's home, and that
what it saves there or in a writable shared folder is kept. In a
chat whose agent works in one folder, /workspace/home is that folder,
the chat folder is /workspace/chat and the shared folders are read
only. The block now says so, and with a read-only folder it names
only /workspace/chat as kept.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Name a scoped chat's attachments where its commands see them

The model learns of an attached file by its guest path, which was
always /workspace/home/Chats/<chat>/<file>. In a chat whose agent
works in one folder, /workspace/home is that folder: the file and
media tools still found the file through the place's chat alias, but
a command sees the chat folder only at /workspace/chat, so the path
named nothing for it.

The text the model gets now names a file of the chat folder at
/workspace/chat/<file> in a scoped chat, through the chat's place:
when a message is sent, queued or injected, in the summary of the
chat, and in the model state rebuilt after an edit, a regenerate, a
fork or an import. What is stored keeps the home spelling, which
SplitMessage reads back, and an unscoped chat is unchanged.

* Read and write the folder of an agent in the agent helpers

The agent API now answers an agent's folder with its path, mode and
state, and a write keeps the stored folder unless it names one. The
page helpers learn that shape: the folder field of a save is sent only
when the person changed it, an empty path clears it, a missing or
unset folder that the person did not replace is kept, and the mode is
read unless write was chosen. Small helpers say whether a listing
entry can be chosen (not a folder LocalAI manages, not a shared
folder), which folders agents use for the Files page marker, and
whether a chat error is the missing-folder conflict.

* Move the folder walk of the Move dialog into a folder picker

The agent editor needs the same walk through the person's folders as
the Move dialog, so the breadcrumb and the folder list move into
FolderPicker, with their styles, and the Move dialog draws it. The
picker can show a folder as one that cannot be chosen, with the
reason next to it, and a folder that cannot be read now offers to try
again; a folder still loading says so instead of an empty list.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Choose the folder of an agent in the agent form

The agent form gets a Files section after the instructions: All my
files, or One folder chosen in the folder picker, and whether the
agent's chats can read the folder or read and change it. The picker
shows the folders LocalAI manages as ones that cannot be chosen, and
Home itself can be chosen. A folder that was deleted, or an imported
agent whose folder was not found, is said in place with an offer to
choose another; the rest of the form still saves and keeps it.

A save sends the folder only when the person changed it, so editing
another field never touches it. Picking One folder and choosing
nothing stops the save, as it would otherwise save an agent on all
the files. The Export section now downloads the file the server
writes, which names the folder, and says so.

* Show the folder of an agent on the agents list and its page

An agent with a folder shows it in the list's line and on its page,
with its access in words and a lock when its chats can only read it.
A folder that is gone, or an agent with no folder chosen yet, shows
a warning that opens the form; the agent's page also says so above
its facts and offers to choose another folder.

* Mark the folders that agents work in on the Files page

A folder that a saved agent works in gets a small marker with the
agent's name, or the number of agents, and a tooltip that names each
one with its access. Inside such a folder, a line over the list says
the same. The page reads the agent list it can already fetch, so the
files API is unchanged, and the page still shows all the files.

* Show a chat's folder and say when its agent's folder is missing

A chat with an agent that has a folder shows the folder next to the
agent in the message box, with a lock for read only, and the Tools
menu says which files the chat's tools reach. When the folder is
gone, the chip says so and opens the agent's form.

A chat whose agent's folder is missing does not start, and the server
answers with a conflict. The message box now says that in plain words,
keeps the message, and offers Edit agent, instead of the server's
text.

* Test the folder of an agent across the web interface

The agent stubs now list folders by path, read a written folder back
as the server does, export a version 2 file for an agent with a
folder, import one whose folder is not found as unset, and refuse to
start a chat whose agent's folder is missing.

The specs choose a folder and see it on the list, switch the access,
leave an unchanged folder out of the save, clear it, keep and replace
a missing folder, keep Chats and LocalAI out of the picker, retry a
folder that cannot be read, see the Files marker, the chat's chip and
Tools line, the missing-folder chat error with Edit agent, and the
import warning. A render smoke opens the picker on the real server,
and one spec checks that the copy names no internal path.

* Describe the agent's folder in the web interface

The agent docs said what the folder field does in the API. They now
also say where the web interface sets it, how the agents pages, the
Files page and a chat show it, and what a chat whose folder is
missing offers.

* Record the chat an add-on call was made for

An add-on's workspace operations run as the user of the live request,
with no idea which chat made it. Only an action carries a chat, and
only as a key in its resource ID; a read tool such as the Office
add-on's read-docx carries none. So a chat that should reach only one
folder could reach the whole home through an add-on.

The in-flight record of a request now keeps, next to the envelope, a
binding to the chat the request was made for: the user's principal
and the chat ID. It is host-side only and never a field of the
envelope, which installed add-ons decode with unknown fields refused.
A context carries the binding from the chat turn to the place that
records the request. The broker gives each host operation the chat
and the scope of its live request. An operation ID that requests of
two chats share is not live, so neither chat is trusted.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Keep the chat binding of a runtime call on the host

The runtime client records each call's envelope for the host operation
channel. It now records the chat binding too when the call's context
carries one, so the add-on's host operations know which chat made the
request. The envelope sent to the add-on is the same bytes with or
without a binding: a spec checks that the body of a bound call equals
the body of an unbound one and still decodes with unknown fields
refused.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Carry the chat binding in a forwarded add-on request

A frontend that is not the add-on owner forwards an add-on call in a
signed request. The chat the call was made for now rides in that
request as a signed field, chat, and the owner puts it back on the
context of the call it serves, where the runtime client records it.
A changed, added or removed binding fails the signature check, and a
signed but incomplete one is refused. A request that no chat made has
no chat field and signs as before.

An owner that does not know the field refuses a forwarded call that a
chat made, so the owner must be upgraded before the frontends.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Bind every add-on tool call of a chat to the chat

The chats consumer ran an add-on tool with the conversation ID only,
which the owner used to resolve a selection and, for an action, as the
key of the add-on's state. Nothing told the host which chat a read
tool or a change came from.

The tool adapter now has ExecuteChat, which takes a ChatCall (the
chat's user and ID, from the chat turn's own record) and binds the
call to the chat on the host side for every tool kind: a read with no
resource, an action, and a change made at once. The chats adapter
refuses a call that names a conversation without that binding, so a
chat's call cannot be made unbound by mistake. Other consumers, such
as the OpenAI-compatible route, keep calling without a binding.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Run add-on workspace operations with the chat's access

The workspace operations of add-ons (materialize, commit, changes,
export and import) worked on the whole home of the request's user. A
chat whose agent has a folder could therefore read and write any file
through the Office or Sandbox add-on.

They now resolve their access from the chat binding of the live
request, through a new Access hook that the chats service answers
(Service.AddonAccess). A chat's call gets the chat's access, as its
file tools do: in a chat whose agent has a folder, the add-on's "/" is
that folder, /workspace/chat names the chat folder, the agent's mode
applies, and paths resolve through the chat's place, so a parent
reference is refused and an encoded separator is part of a name. The
mounts go through Access.SubView, which builds a view only inside the
access, for its fenced actor. When an add-on mounts its "/" at home,
the host adds the chat folder at chat, so the Sandbox sees the chat's
layout without a change. Changes list only what the access may read,
and a commit entry outside the view is a conflict.

A call whose chat cannot be resolved is refused and never runs
user-wide. An action request without a binding is resolved by its
chat key, as before, and refused when it names no chat. A call that
no chat made (an add-on page, the OpenAI-compatible route) still works
on the whole home, through Manager.PersonAccess.

The four lane 6 entries leave the actor scan and the view scan.
PersonAccess joins the view scan's matcher, with AddonAccess as its
one allowed caller. An end-to-end spec runs the real Office and
Sandbox add-ons in a scoped chat.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Build the chat access of the file index route test

files.Service.Tools takes a session.Access since the chat access
change, so the route test of the text index passed a bare actor and
its package did not compile under the auth tag.

The test now builds the access as the chats service does for a chat
whose agent has no folder: the user's home as the primary folder of
the view, then session.NewAccess. The assertions are unchanged.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Test the folder of an agent through every surface of a chat

The specs of the folder feature each test one surface. This suite
runs one chat of an agent limited to a folder through all of them at
once, on an indexed SQL workspace: the file and media tools, the search
and its pending count, a command of the Sandbox in a fake sandbox, a
read call and an action call of an add-on through the real workspace
operations bound to the chat, a generic and a saved sub-agent, the
trigger tools, a file trigger run, a connector reply, a renamed folder,
a mode change, an edit that narrows the folder (also seen by a second
frontend) and a deleted folder.

The files outside the folder hold a token that the scripted model never
writes. After each spec the suite collects every text a person or a
model can see: tool results and errors, prompts, messages, transcripts
with their cards, live events, chat file lists, tool panels,
notifications, connector replies and files, the add-on's data directory
and the connector log. The token must be in none of them, and the files
outside must be unchanged.

A control spec runs the same probes from an agent without a folder and
checks that they do find the token, so the probes and the collection
cannot pass by seeing nothing.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Complete the docs of the folder of an agent

Each change of the folder feature documented its own part. This
makes the pages one account of it:

- Saved agents: the missing and unset states in one bullet, what the
  folder does not limit (MCP servers, web tools, collections, pages),
  that the Files page stays user-wide, when an edit applies, the
  downgrade caveat, and the folder as a stateless row of the cluster
  table. The Sandbox of a scoped chat mounts the agent's folder and the
  chat folder only, as the add-on asks for them; the page said it also
  had the shared folders and skills.
- Chats: the chat folder at /workspace/chat for the model, sub-agents
  of a scoped chat, and commands only in the Sandbox.
- Add-ons: the Sandbox and Office sections say what / is in a chat whose
  agent has a folder.
- First agent: the optional folder step and the "Folder missing" case.

* Draft the PR description and release note of agent folders

No release notes file exists for the next release yet, so the draft
text lives next to the spec and the plan. It carries the release note
paragraph with the downgrade caveat and the upgrade order of a cluster.

* List the chat binding specs in the per-report add-on inventories

The chat binding change added five specs to the gateway and runtime
packages and named them in the case lists of the gateway, artifacts and
apps suites. These three suites also keep one case list per Ginkgo
report, and the verifier compares each report with its own list. The
new names were missing there, so the three suites failed with an
inventory mismatch.

A dry run of every Ginkgo suite's commands now lists the same It names
as each report's inventory, in both directions.

* Hide stale paths from a fenced actor's history

A folder moved into a fence makes its parent identities readable.
Their historical paths can still name locations outside the fence.

Hide each historical side when its readable parent's current path
differs. Reuse the generic title when filtering hides a side. Keep
the journal and unfenced history unchanged so Undo uses identities.

* Keep shared agent folders unset in exports

A followed folder outside the home cannot round-trip through a home path.
Export its mode with an empty path so import warns and stays fail-closed.
Responses keep public shared paths without exposing other internal paths.

* Refuse scoped chats over the folder limit

Keep every required shared root in each intersecting fence. Refuse
creation and turn access when the complete set exceeds 32 roots.
Reserve a chat root before its folder exists and fence listings empty
on refusal. Propagate shared enumeration failures instead of omitting
roots.

Map capacity refusals to a fixed 409 response and give connectors a
safe capacity message. Check boundaries, retries, background access,
and HTTP handlers with focused regressions.

Clarify public response paths and unset exports in the API metadata.

* Keep the folder retry test under user control

A background refresh consumes the one-shot successful response before
this test observes its load error. Isolate the mocked Files page from
the live workspace stream and agents list. Keep reads failing until
the error assertions pass, then allow the actual Retry click to recover.

Check that Retry reads again and removes the error, without changing
the existing assertions or their timeouts.

Assisted-by: nib:gpt-6.1-sol

* Test and document folder capacity refusals

Use the existing Ginkgo suites for capacity regressions. Exercise a
successful turn, refusal after shares change, and a retry through a
second service on the same stores. Check that refusal leaves no claim
or pending message.

Verify that connectors send one fixed refusal and that triggers stay
enabled after capacity failures. Document the 32-root budget and the
all-required-roots-or-refuse contract.

* Control crashes in the restart budget test

The crash fixture exits after 100 ms, before startup necessarily finishes.
A busy runner can fail the readiness handshake instead of testing restarts.

Start a normal fixture and kill each published incarnation explicitly.

* Find the Sandbox guest image in the executable, not its build info

The Sandbox smoke checked that the packaged executable carries the
guest image by looking for -X main.guestImage in go version -m. The
package is built with -trimpath, and with -trimpath Go leaves -ldflags
out of the build info, so the check failed on every gvisor run,
although the image was linked in.

Look for the reference in the executable instead: the value of
SANDBOX_GUEST_IMAGE when it is set, any digest reference otherwise.
package.sh had the same check for an executable built elsewhere; it
now looks for its own reference the same way.

* Answer a network card the limit refuses with one precise reason

A card that waited while the administrator's limit went down was
refused on the first click with 400, and every later click was a bare
409, so a stale card looked like a conflict loop. A refused card now
answers 400 egress_above_ceiling every time, the same answer sent twice
is one answer (204), and another answer to an answered card is 409
already_answered. The chat view marks a card the limit cannot admit
with above_ceiling.

When the limit is off, or below the chat's preset, the note of the turn
and the block line of the proxy now say that the server's setting
blocks the network and no approval changes it, so the model reports it
instead of waiting or retrying.

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

* Explain a blocked Sandbox network instead of offering dead buttons

A card the limit cannot admit shows why network access is off or
limited, and who can change it, with a link to Settings > Tools >
Sandbox network for administrators. The buttons of a card disable while
an answer is sent, and a failed answer reads the card again. The
Network row says why its choices are capped. Settings opens a group
from ?group=. Strings are translated in all nine locales and the chat
and add-on docs describe the new behaviour.

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

* Add an always-allowed hosts list to the Sandbox network

The extra registries setting only widens the package registries, so a
one-off host needs the approval card in every chat. The new admin
setting chats_egress_allowed_hosts lists exact hosts (optionally
host:port to pin a port) that a chat reaches whenever its effective
preset is registries or all.

The list sits in the same decision as the presets: the ceiling still
caps it, the ports setting still applies, and a private, loopback,
link-local or metadata address still needs the private switch and an
administrator's rule or answer. Each use is audited with the reason
allowed_host. Hosts are validated like the extra registries (lower
case, punycode, no scheme, path or pattern, at most 64) and an IP
literal is refused unless the private switch is on.

get_chat_egress and the chat egress view return the list; no MCP tool
writes it, as for the extra registries.

* Let users delete from the Trash for good

A delete only set a tombstone, so the Trash grew without end and
nothing could free the space of a deleted file.

The workspace stores gain a Purger: it erases the deleted nodes of
some change sets, or of a whole folder, with their journal rows, the
change sets that nothing is left in, and the blobs that no row refers
to. Both stores implement it and pass the same contract specs. A blob
is removed after a grace period, and only if it is still unused then,
so an upload of the same bytes in flight keeps them.

DELETE /api/chats/files/trash empties the user's Trash and
DELETE /api/chats/files/trash/{rev} deletes one entry. Both are scoped
to the caller's home. The Trash listing now gives files, folders and
bytes per entry and for the whole Trash. The file tools of a chat
cannot reach any of this.

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

* Add Empty Trash and Delete permanently to the Files page

The Trash tab shows what it holds, with an Empty Trash button that is
off while the Trash is empty and a Delete permanently button on each
item. Both ask in the page first and say how many files and folders and
how much space they remove. Texts are translated in all nine locales.

* Fall back to Brave Search and Bing when DuckDuckGo asks for a captcha

DuckDuckGo answers some servers with HTTP 202 and a bot check (the
"anomaly" page) instead of results. The parser read that page as "no
results it could read", so web_search failed for every query.

The keyless search is now a chain: DuckDuckGo, then the result page of
Brave Search, then the result page of Bing. Each page has its own
tolerant parser (title, URL, snippet; Bing's /ck/a links and DDG's uddg
links are unwrapped) with saved fixtures.

A bot check is a typed error (ErrChallenged), and a 403 or 429 is
ErrBlocked. Both wrap ErrProvider. A Fallback with a cool-down skips a
challenged or blocked provider for a few minutes, so each search does
not wait for it first; when every provider is cooling down, all are
asked again. Fallback.SearchAttempts and TestEach report what each
provider did (ok, no_results, challenged, blocked, timeout, error,
skipped).

The error a model reads now lists what was tried and what each provider
did, then where an administrator fixes it.

safehttp keeps the status code of an answer (Response.StatusCode) and
of a refusal (StatusError, still ErrStatus for errors.Is).

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Use the keyless search chain in the chats and test each provider

The built-in web_search now searches with DuckDuckGo, Brave Search and
Bing in turn when no SearXNG instance is set. A new runtime setting,
chats_web_search_providers, sets the order (searxng, duckduckgo,
brave_html, bing_html) and leaves a provider out. Empty keeps the old
choice: SearXNG alone when an instance is set, so its queries do not
reach the public engines unless the administrator lists them.

POST /api/chats/admin/web/test asks every provider of the order and
returns what each did in "providers" (ok, no_results, challenged,
blocked, timeout or error, with the reason), next to the first answer.
Settings > Tools has a Test search on the web_search row that shows it,
and the provider list is checked on the page and by the server.

The cool-down of a challenged provider is kept per frontend, like the
cache and the limits; web.md says why.

Docs: web.md (providers, chain, bot checks, privacy, how to fix it with
SearXNG or the Web add-on) and runtime-settings.md. Strings in the
nine locales. Swagger regenerated.

* Try the mirror library alone in the reinstall recovery spec

The spec adds a second library with the same URL and expects an
install from it to keep the retained data apart. Since two enabled
libraries that list one add-on are a conflict, the reinstall from the
original library then failed with library_conflict, and the install
from the mirror failed for that reason instead of the trusted identity.

Switch the original library off while the mirror is tried, check that
the mirror is refused for its identity and not for a conflict, then
switch the mirror off and the original on for the reinstall.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Pause a chat turn at the step limit and offer Continue

A chat turn ran at most 10 rounds of tool calls, the default of the
harness, because nothing set a limit. A multi-step task (read some
files, run commands, write a result) stopped half way, and the person
saw an answer that looked final.

The limit is now the runtime setting chats_max_iterations (1 to 500,
default 40, Settings > Tools); a model's agent.max_iterations still
wins. When the tool loop reaches it, the harness sends a paused event
with the limit, and the turn ends with last_turn "paused". A paused
turn counts as finished: waiting messages start the next turn and a
sub-agent reports back. The status line says "Paused, after 40 steps"
and has a Continue button, which sends a message that asks the model
to go on.

A claim that found no waiting message released the chat as "done",
which hid a pause. It now keeps the status the chat had.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Edit the always-allowed Sandbox hosts in Settings > Tools

Add a list editor for chats_egress_allowed_hosts next to the extra
package registries: the hosts are tags with a remove button, an input
adds one on Enter, comma or Add (a pasted list adds them all), and the
reason an entry is refused shows under the input, with the count out
of 64. The same checks stop Apply on a bad entry, and the server still
has the last word.

The chat's Network panel lists the hosts read only and the row says
how many an administrator always allows while the chat's network is on.
The help text of both settings now says how they differ. Strings are
translated in all nine locales.

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

* Document the always-allowed Sandbox hosts

Describe chats_egress_allowed_hosts in the runtime settings page, the
network section of the add-ons page (including the allowed_host audit
reason and how the list differs from extra registries) and the chats
page.

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

* Let a chat edit, pause and delete the person's triggers

A chat could propose a trigger and list them, but not change one: the
Triggers page and the API could. list_triggers now gives each trigger a
stable ref (not its id) and shows the prompt of one trigger only when
asked. update_trigger and delete_trigger store a change record in the
trigger table: an edit or a delete waits for Apply or Delete on a card,
a pause or a resume applies at once with a receipt. An applied change
can be undone for a day; a delete restores the trigger with its id.

Change records are rows in the database, so every frontend shows and
answers the same card. The new routes under /api/chats/triggers/changes
serve the card and are gated by the triggers feature.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Show the trigger changes a chat asks for as cards

An edit lists each changed field before and after with Apply and
Dismiss, a delete shows the trigger and its last run with Delete and
Keep, and an applied change is a receipt with Undo. The cards sit below
the message text like the proposal card, and read their state from the
server so a reload shows the same answer.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Add a Test search button to the web tools settings

POST /api/chats/admin/web/test existed, but no page called it and the
docs showed only curl. The web_search row of Settings > Tools now has
a Test search button. It runs one search with the applied settings and
shows the provider with its first results, or the error a chat would
read.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Describe undo per tool call in the chats docs

The docs said the checkpoint line of a turn carries the change set of
the turn. A turn checkpoint is taken only by a chat with a VM sandbox,
which the service never sets up, so that rev is always 0. What ships
is one change set per file tool call, with a files_change card on its
tool line. The docs now say so and how to undo a whole turn.

Grouping a turn's changes into one change set in the file store is
left for later: it touches the file store's revisions and the undo of
shared folders.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Mount the skill folders read-only for the built-in bash

The built-in pdf skill ships scripts, but the commands saw only the
home and the shared folders, so the model could read the scripts and
not run them. The built-in bash now mounts the three skill layers
read-only, at the names the file tools already use: shared-skills,
shared-builtin-skills and shared-addon-skills. A shared folder named
skills moves to "shared-skills 2", so the two never collide.

A read-only mount with subfolders made every command report its
folders as changes the mount refused, because the host backend lists
every folder of its work tree. A folder alone is no change: both
stores now refuse only files, whiteouts and opaque folders there.

The Sandbox add-on mounts only the home; the docs say to copy a
script there first.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Find the add-on that runs commands by what it shadows

The chats knew the add-on that runs commands from a per-process cache,
filled with the Sandbox's own tool name the first time a chat listed
its tools. Another add-on that replaces bash did not count, so skills
that need commands showed as unavailable. The admin network view read
the same cache: after a restart it said no Sandbox serves until
someone chatted, each frontend of a cluster could answer differently,
and a removed add-on stayed listed.

The tool that runs commands is now the one that shadows bash, as the
spec asks. sandboxRunTool and the cache are gone. The stand-in of an
add-on that cannot work carries the built-in tools it replaces, and
the admin view asks the add-on host which add-on serves bash now: the
pinned one or the oldest running install, and none when the pinned one
is stopped.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Show international host names in punycode in the network checks

The card-spoofing defence of the sandbox network asks for host names
in their ASCII form, but CheckHost passed Unicode names through. A
look-alike name reached the consent card as text that reads like the
real site.

CheckHost now converts an international name with the IDNA lookup
profile and refuses one with no valid ASCII form. The conversion runs
before the address checks, so full-width digits that spell a loopback
address are refused as loopback.

* Keep the seeded Studio and Talk pins until the add-ons are installed

The upgrade pins Studio and Talk for existing accounts, but both are
add-ons that an administrator installs later. The sweep marked a pin
whose add-on is not installed as missing and deleted it after 30
days, so an administrator who installed Studio late found the seeded
pins gone.

The sweep now records the first time a seeded add-on is present, in
the table of seed runs or the pins file. A seeded pin keeps no clock
until then, and a mark that an older sweep set is cleared. After the
first install the pin follows the retention rule as before.

* Fix two small labels of the Skills and Backends pages

On the Skills page, the skill of an add-on that is not chosen said
"Replaced by <add-on>", the label of a built-in skill that an add-on
serves. It now says "Not active: <add-on> provides it", as the add-on
skills spec asks.

On the Backends page, Clear filters on an empty Installed search left
the library filter set, so the list stayed empty. It now clears the
library filter too.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Tell the model when no network card can appear

Each turn told the model that a blocked host asks the user. No card
appears when the ceiling is off or no wider than the chat's preset, in
an unattended run or in a sub-agent, so the model waited for an answer
that could not come.

The line now says that a blocked host is refused and nothing asks the
user in those cases, so the model names the host it needs in its
answer.

* Translate six Backends and preview labels in every locale

check, reinstallBackend, deleteBackend and filterLabel of the Backends
page and the label and failed text of the file preview showed in
English in the eight other locales. They now have translations, and
the i18n baseline goes down to match.

Also fix a comment of the home composer that still named the removed
Canvas chip.

* List the admin routes that have no assistant tool, with the reason

The admin oversight routes of saved agents, triggers and connectors
had no MCP tool and no recorded reason, and the other deliberate skips
lived only in code comments. coverage_test.go now keeps them in
adminRoutesWithoutTool with a reason each, and a spec checks that no
route there is also wrapped by a tool. The contributor checklist names
the map.

The tool catalog of the assistant docs said it matched the real one
but missed most tools added since. It now lists every tool, read-only
and mutating, and the actions that stay in the web interface.

* Close the doc and registry gaps of the chats and add-ons

- /api/agent/* answers 404 with the chats_off reason when the chats
  are off, as /api/chats/* and /api/workspace/* do.
- The add-ons docs get an upgrade section: Studio and Talk are
  add-ons, nothing is preinstalled, and users need the addons feature,
  which the upgrade does not grant. It says how an administrator
  installs them (also from a private library) and grants the feature,
  and carries a paragraph for the release notes.
- The migration page no longer lists fork, edit, the chat settings and
  the token counters as removed.
- Runtime settings document chats_vision_model,
  chats_transcription_model and the skill keys of
  chats_tool_providers.
- The docs show POST /api/chats/files/folders,
  GET /api/chats/files/history and the allow route of a connector
  sender.
- The in-tree specs get amendments where the shipped design differs.
- A route test of the tagged suite still set the removed Runs field.

* Look for the kit empty state in the backends regression spec

The Backends page now draws the shared EmptyState of the kit
(ui-empty), not the old dk-empty block, so the regression spec of the
gallery suite found no empty state after a search with no match.
Check the kit's no-results form and its title.

* Ignore a features request that outlives its page in the add-on stubs

stubAddonRoutes answers /api/features by fetching the real flags and
turning add-ons on. A spec that ends while the page polls, like the
one that checks that a viewer without the feature never reads the
list, left that fetch in flight, and Playwright failed the spec with
"route.fetch: Target page, context or browser has been closed" after
its checks had passed. Abort the request when the fetch fails because
the page is gone.

* Bring the gallery-ui case inventory up to date

The suite lists the node unit cases of addons.test.mjs and the
Playwright specs of addons-gallery.spec.js. The inventory missed the
unit cases added since it was written, and one spec was renamed when
the legacy switch came in ("hub: the Add-ons tab appears only for an
account that holds the feature" is now "hub: under the legacy switch
the Add-ons tab appears ..."). The list comes from a local run of
both parts against the UI test server.

* Read spreadsheets, documents and slides in read_document

read_document said "file.xlsx has no text layer; it may be a scan" for
workbooks that some Python libraries write. Their workbook gives the
sheet as an absolute part name (/xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml) and the
cells as inline strings. The text extractor of the harness joined
"xl/" with that name, found no sheet, and returned no text; the tool
then took any empty result for a scanned PDF.

The new package core/services/studio/extract has one entry point,
Extract(ctx, name, data), that returns the text and the structure it
read, for read_document now and for a file indexer later. Office files
go through the files preview reader, which resolves both kinds of part
names and reads inline strings:

- a workbook comes sheet by sheet, rows as tab-separated lines, up to
  2000 rows and 50 columns a sheet, with a note for a cut sheet;
- a Word document gives headings, list items, paragraphs and tables;
- a presentation gives each slide with its title, text and notes.

PDF and EPUB keep the harness extractor. Only a PDF with no text is
reported as a probable scan; an empty Office file is reported as empty.
The preview reader now keeps a Word table as one block with its rows,
and the preview pane draws it as a table.

* Add the missing explorer, library and tools translations

Eight locales had no explorer.json, library.json or tools.json. The
browser asks the server for every namespace of the language it shows,
so an Italian page that used the library answered 404 for
/locales/it/library.json on every load and fell back to English.

The 24 files now exist, translated, with every key of English. The
locale gate counted a missing file as missing keys, which the baseline
allowed. It now fails on a missing namespace file whatever the
baseline says, and the baseline is 24 entries shorter.

* Back off while the add-on service is unavailable

A page that followed an add-on upgrade read the operation every two
seconds, up to 300 times. While the add-on service restarted, each read
waited for its timeout and answered 503, so the log of one session had
48 failed dispatches in a row, and the page only showed the upgrade as
running. The Sandbox state of a chat's Tools menu read once and, on a
503, said nothing more.

The reads of an operation now back off while the service does not
answer: 2, 4, 8, then up to 30 seconds. The upgrade entry says that it
waits for the add-on service and when it checks again, in Activity and
in the details, which also get a Check now button. The Tools menu says
that the Sandbox is starting and reads its state again with the same
back-off, kept for the page, so opening another chat does not ask
again before the wait is over.

* Start a chat with its switches and list them before it exists

The composer of a new chat could not show the Tools and Skills menus,
because the lists and the switches belong to a chat. A chat started
from Home therefore always began with every tool and skill on.

- POST /api/chats takes switches: the add-ons, MCP servers and
  connectors, built-in groups and skills that are off, and the opt-in
  groups that are on. They are checked as the PUT endpoints check them
  and stored with the new record, so the chat never exists without
  them; a bad entry refuses the request and creates nothing. The SQL
  store now writes these lists on create too.
- GET /api/chats/draft/tools and /api/chats/draft/addons list what a
  chat on a model, with a saved agent, could use, every switch in its
  default state. They refuse what create refuses: an unknown or
  forbidden model, an agent without the agents feature, another
  user's agent.

Document both in the chats page and regenerate the swagger.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Give Home the composer of the chat page

Home drew a smaller message box than the chat page: no files, no
agent, no Tools or Skills menus, no paste to attach, no rich model
list, and its text was lost on a reload. A chat started there could
not be set up before its first message.

Move the composer wiring out of the chat page into one place that
both pages use:

- useChatComposer holds the draft (text and files), the model and the
  saved agent of a new chat, the chat models, the switches and what
  attaching and pasting do.
- ChatComposer draws the model list (fit, vision, memory bar), the
  agent picker, the Tools and Skills menus, the attach buttons,
  dictation, the add-on slot and the vision notice over HomeComposer.
- useChatSwitches has a draft mode: before the chat exists it lists
  from the draft endpoints, a switch changes only the screen, and the
  choices go with the create request. They outlive a change of model
  or agent.

Home now creates the chat with the model, the agent and the drafted
switches, sends the first message with its files and opens the chat.
When the message cannot go, the new chat is removed and the text and
files stay on Home. Its text is kept in the browser across a reload.
Home also gets the shortcuts row, the notices of the chat page and the
line that says whether the model is loaded. Its own slash actions,
widgets, examples and first-run steps stay.

The empty chat page gets the same draft menus. On a phone the chips
of both wrap to a second row, and the Tools and agent menus open as a
sheet from the bottom, as the skills picker does.

* Move add-on settings to the add-on's own page

The settings.sections slot drew every add-on's settings at the end of the
global Settings page, and the Sandbox and Web sections were unstyled: the
add-on UIs used class names the host does not define (btn, btn-primary)
and bare inputs, the SDK offered no form primitives, its muted token
named a property that does not exist, and the slot root was an
inline-flex span that laid a form out in a row.

An add-on's settings sections now render on the Settings tab of its
details on the Add-ons page (/app/addons?detail=<id>&view=settings),
narrowed to that add-on, for administrators only. An add-on page gets a
host Settings link to that tab. The Settings page no longer draws the
slot: an Add-ons group, shown when an add-on has settings, lists those
add-ons with a link each. The old #ad-section-<addon>-<id> anchor
redirects to the tab once the apps list is read. Server settings of an
add-on's feature stay on the Settings page; the tab shows them under
"Server settings for this add-on", with a read-only summary of the
Sandbox network and links to ?group=tools#settings-egress and
#settings-builtin-tools.

The SDK gets a settings kit in sdk.ui (Section, Field, Select,
TextInput, Switch, Choice, StatusChip, Callout, List/ListRow, Code,
Actions, Table, ExternalLink), drawn with host classes and tokens, and
more theme tokens. The Sandbox and Web sections are rebuilt with it:
backend rows with a status chip and the raw reason collapsed in a code
block, a backend choice with one line per option, and the AppArmor and
user-namespace hint (with a docs link) only for the gVisor
"exit status 128 ... cannot read client sync file" failure.

The Settings page showed "Changed, default 30, Reset" next to a 0 for the
audit retention, and the same for the Sandbox network limit, preset and
ports: the server stores 0 or an empty value for a setting never set.
Those fields now read that value as their default, and the retention
input has its unit and bounds.

* Adapt the add-on runtime specs to the new navigation

Three specs of the esm-ui suite still assumed the old shell:

- the Add-ons tab that lists the pages add-ons declare is part of the
  legacy layout, so the navigation spec found no hub subnav; it now
  sets the legacy switch on the server's flags for that page;
- the sidebar has no "Chat" link any more, so the unsaved-edits spec
  could not leave the page; it leaves through Home in the primary
  navigation;
- the shell keeps a notification stream open, so the network never
  goes idle and the spec for a member without the feature waited out
  its timeout; it waits for the server's switches, the account and
  the shell instead.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Name the legacy Add-ons tab unit case as the esm unit tests do

The esm-ui inventory listed "unit: registry: the Add-ons tab lists
page links only when the registry has usable add-ons", but the unit
test is named "the legacy Add-ons tab lists ...", so the suite could
never match its inventory. Use the name the test prints.

* Say on the Collections page when the embedding model is missing

At startup the server opened a collection and its first embedding call
got 404 from POST /embeddings. The collections embed through this
server's own API with collections_embedding_model, the default
granite-embedding-107m-multilingual, and that model was not installed.
Nothing told the user: uploads and searches just failed.

GET /api/collections now also returns embedding_model and
embedding_model_installed (a loaded configuration of that name, or a
model file of that name). When it is missing, the Collections page
says "No embedding model installed", names the model, and gives an
administrator a button that opens the Models page with a search for
it.

* Report modified times and the upload limit in folder listings

The Files page could not sort by date or show when a file changed: a
folder listing had no time. It also learned the upload limit only after
it had sent the whole file. The default server body limit is 15 MB,
lower than the 256 MiB a workspace file may have, so a large upload
failed late and without a clear reason.

Each listed entry now has "modified", the time of the change set of
its revision. Both workspace stores fill it in List: the JSON store
from its in-memory change sets, the database store with one query per
batch of revisions. The listing also has "max_file_size", the smaller
of the workspace limit and the server body limit, so a client can
refuse a larger file before it sends any byte.

The store contract suite checks the new time against the history, and
the route tests check both fields.

* Add a sortable file list with thumbnails for the Files page

The building blocks of the new file browser, used by the page in a
later change:

- fileBrowser.js: the kind of an entry from its extension, the order
  (folders first, natural and case-insensitive names, then size,
  modified time or type), the filter of a folder, dates in words with
  the full date for a tooltip, the Shift range, the arrow moves of a
  list and of a grid, type-to-find, names that do not clash, why a
  name cannot be used, the name of a pasted screenshot and the view
  settings read back from storage.
- FileList: a grid with sortable column headers or a grid of tiles
  with image thumbnails, a check box per row, a row menu, inline
  rename with the reason a name is refused, rows that can be dragged
  onto folders, and the keyboard: arrows, Shift, Space, Enter, F2,
  Delete, Ctrl+A, Escape, Backspace and typing a name.
- MoveDialog: a folder picker that walks the tree and refuses a move
  into the moving folder itself.
- ActionMenu can open at a point with no trigger (a right click), and
  its trigger can take another icon and class (a split button).
- fileSize also writes gigabytes.

* Add an upload queue with progress, cancel and retry

An upload of the Files page was one fetch per file in a loop: nothing
showed while it ran, one failure stopped the rest, and leaving the
page lost it.

- uploadQueue.js keeps every upload outside React: queued, sending
  with the bytes sent and a smoothed rate, done, failed with a reason
  and whether Try again can help, or canceled. Two files go at once.
  It lives for the whole app, so opening another folder or page does
  not stop an upload.
- filesApi.uploadWithProgress sends the same PUT with XMLHttpRequest,
  which reports upload progress and can be aborted. The server already
  streams the body into the store; nothing changes there.
- useUploads reads the queue and asks before the tab closes while a
  file is on its way.
- UploadTray shows the queue at the bottom of the page: the total and
  the time left, each file with its progress, speed and time left,
  Cancel, Try again with the reason, and a done state that fades out.
  A live region tells a screen reader when uploads start, fail and
  end.
- ConflictDialog asks what to do when an upload has the name of a file
  in the folder: replace it, keep both, or skip it.
- dropFiles.js reads dropped folders with their paths.

* Rebuild the Files page as a file browser

The Files page was a list of links: the store's byte order, the same
icon for every file, three icon buttons on every row, no progress on
an upload, no selection, and on a phone a preview that opened below
the whole list.

Browsing: a breadcrumb that folds a deep path, sortable columns (name,
modified, type, size) with folders first, a list or a grid of
thumbnails, both kept per user in the browser, a filter of the open
folder with a search of every file on Enter, type icons, human sizes,
dates in words with the full date on hover, and Back and Forward
between folders.

Uploads go through the upload queue and its tray: the Upload button
or its folder menu, drops of files and folders anywhere on the page or
onto a folder row or crumb, and paste. A clash asks to replace, keep
both or skip; a file over the server limit is refused before it is
sent.

Selection and actions: click, Ctrl and Shift, check boxes, a selection
bar (Download, Move to, Move to Trash; at the bottom of the screen on
a phone), a row menu and a right click, inline rename and new
folder or file, drag to move, the keyboard, and a toast with Undo for
a delete, a move and a rename.

States: a skeleton on the first load, an error with Try again, empty
states that say how files get here, and a no-match state. The preview
uses the side pane: docked on a wide screen, a sheet on a phone, with
the same actions as the row menu. Trash, History and the Managed by
LocalAI group stay as they were.

Every new string is in the nine languages. The page uses design
tokens only (seven raw font sizes fewer). The specs cover sorting,
the filter, the views, selection and bulk actions, the keyboard, the
menu, rename checks, drag to move, drops, paste, clashes, the size
limit, upload progress, cancel and retry against the real server, and
the error states.

* Fix two specs that fail on the integration branch

The Describe spec of the egress package checked that the no-card line
does not contain "asks the user", but that line says "nothing asks the
user". It now checks for the sentence that promises a card.

The context meter spec gave the chat a 4k context window. The tool
schemas of the chat now take 3k of it, so the turn stopped before the
model request. The spec uses a 16k window.

* Translate the always-allowed hosts note of the chat network row

The three egress keys of the always-allowed hosts were only in English,
so the locale check failed for every chats namespace. The workspace

* Bring the contracts and host-slots case inventories up to date

* Add the design of the file text index

The search of the chats' files reads only small UTF-8 text files, so a
PDF or an Office file is found by name only. The design extracts the
text when a file is written, keeps it in LocalAI's own store keyed by
node and hash, checks access at query time and runs one indexer per
cluster under an advisory lock.

* Give extracted documents their pages, sheets and slides

Extract now says where each page, sheet and slide starts in the text,
so a search hit can name its page or sheet. A PDF page starts with a
"## Page N" line, as sheets and slides already start with a heading.
A PDF also stops at a page limit (200 by default) and at the text
limit, which it ignored before, and a panic of the reader is an error.

The test fixtures move to extracttest, with a real text PDF and a
workbook with shared strings, so other packages can build the same
documents.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Add a store for the text of workspace documents

textindex keeps one entry per workspace node: the text read from a
PDF or Office file, the hash it was read from, its pages or sheets and
its status (pending, ready, failed, skipped), plus the cursor of the
indexer in the workspace journal.

The GORM store keeps a lower-cased copy of the text, so SQL and the
Go matcher agree on every script, and searches it with FTS5 and the
trigram tokenizer on SQLite or a pg_trgm index on PostgreSQL. Without
them it scans the column. The JSON store keeps the metadata in memory
and each text in its own file, and scans the texts. One contract
suite runs on JSON, SQLite and PostgreSQL.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Index the text of new and changed workspace documents

The indexer tails the workspace journal from a cursor kept in the text
store. A write of a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file marks it
pending (the same hash only follows the path), a delete removes the
entry and a move rewrites the paths below a folder. Then it reads the
pending files two at a time, with a timeout, a size cap, a page cap and
a text cap, and stores ready, failed or skipped. A panic of the reader
fails the file, not the pass. The same content is read once.

The first pass starts at revision 0, which indexes the files that were
there before, in bounded steps that resume from the cursor. Enqueue
marks an upload pending at once and Forget drops the entries of nodes a
purge erased. In a cluster each pass runs under a new advisory lock,
so one frontend reads.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Search and read the text of documents in the chats' files

search_files and GET /api/chats/files/search now also search the text
index: after the name and text-file hits come lines of PDF, Word, Excel
and PowerPoint files, as path (page 3, line 40): text, with the sheet or
slide where a document has them. Each entry is shown only when the
caller may read its file now and the file still has the content the
text came from. Documents keep up to a third of the hits. When files
below the path are still pending, the answer says so instead of
"Nothing found.", and the REST result has indexing.

read_file returns the text of a PDF or Office file with the usual offset
and limit, from the index when it matches the file and read on the
spot otherwise. An upload and a write of a chat tool queue the file at
once, and emptying the Trash drops the entries of the purged files.

* Start the file text index with the files and add its settings

With files on, the server opens the text store next to the workspace
index (the auth database, or a folder under the data path) and starts
the indexer. A chat worker searches the index but runs no indexer.

chats_index_files (default on) switches the reading off and
chats_index_max_text_bytes (2 MiB by default, 64 KiB to 16 MiB) caps
the text kept for one document. Both apply at the next pass, and both
are rows of Settings > Tools.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Show the page, sheet or slide of a document hit on the Files page

Search all files now lists hits inside PDF and Office files with their
page, sheet or slide instead of a line number of the extracted text,
and says how many documents are still being indexed. The strings are
in all nine locales.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Test finding an uploaded PDF by its words through the routes

The PDF has a generated name and is uploaded with the REST upload. The
search route first reports it as being indexed, then finds it on its
page after a pass of the indexer, and so does the search_files tool of
a chat. Another user finds nothing.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Document the search inside documents

The chats page says what the index reads, where the text is kept, who
finds it, which search engine each database uses, the two settings,
the backfill and the single-runner mode in a cluster, and how
search_files and read_file answer for documents. The API instructions
and the PDF skill say the same in short.

* Test the indexer on the JSON workspace store

* Read all of a long document with read_file

The index keeps the first chats_index_max_text_bytes of a document, so
read_file used to stop where the index stopped. It now uses the index
only when it holds the whole text, and reads the document again (up to
16 MiB of text) when the index cut it.

* Start bash in the user's home

The Sandbox's bash and the built-in bash started in /workspace, the
folder that holds the mounts, so a model that ran a script by a
relative path failed and a file it saved there was lost. A call now
starts in /workspace/home, the folder of the user's files: a relative
path is the same file the file tools see. The tool descriptions and
the commands block of every turn say where a call starts and that
only what is saved there is kept. The built-in bash says that the
/workspace paths do not exist on the host and that a shared folder is
next to the home.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Name files in tool results by the path the model uses

write_file, edit_file and search_files named a file of the home by its
path in the home ("/scripts/build.py") while the model had written
/workspace/home/scripts/build.py, and a model took the two spellings
for two files. The results now give the path the model uses, and
move_file says where it moved the file to. The cards and the change
notes keep the path in the home.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Name the paths a command's commit did not save

The result of a bash call ended with "N file(s) changed in your files
meanwhile; the sandbox's version was kept as a copy" for every path the
commit refused, also for a file written outside the user's files,
where no copy is kept. It now has one line a path, with the path as
the guest sees it, the reason, and the path of the copy when the store
kept one, so the model and the user can act on it. The host returns
the paths and the copy to the Sandbox add-on relative to the user's
files, as its mounts are.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Show the files a command saved under its step

A document that a script wrote with bash reached the user's files, but
the chat showed nothing: only the file tools put a file on their step,
and the Sandbox committed for no chat, so the chat's file list, the
chips under the answer and the preview pane never saw the file.

The host now commits a Sandbox call for the chat that ran it (the
action resource of the request names the chat). After each bash call,
of the Sandbox or of this machine, the chat reads the change sets of
the chat that the call made from the shared store and puts the files
on the step's card, next to the card that says who served the call
(session.SetToolFiles; files with path, change set and op on the
card's new files field). The step lists them as chips that open the
preview pane, the chat's clients are told that its files changed, and
the files reach the file list, so the answer gets its chips and the
pane opens on the newest one, as for write_file.

* Keep JSON out of the answer of a trigger run

The workspace skill told the model to put the widget data shape and a
source marker in a trigger prompt. Some proposals then asked the run to
print that JSON, and every run ended its chat with a stray line of it.

The skill now says source and note live inside the data file and are
never the answer, and that a prompt must not ask for JSON. The runner
appends one closing instruction to the first message of every trigger
run: finish with one short plain sentence. The propose_trigger and
update_trigger descriptions say the prompt must stand alone and must
not ask for JSON. Connector chats are talks with people and do not get
the line.

* Read the images of a page as base64 for its frame

The bridge of a page reads UTF-8 text only, so the UI could not put a
png or a jpg of the page's folder into the page. A read of the page
file routes with encoding=base64 now returns an image as base64 with
its media type. Only the extensions of an image are read this way
(png, jpg, gif, webp, avif, bmp, ico, svg); any other file is 415, so
this is no way to read an arbitrary binary file. The path checks, the
1 MiB limit, the viewer's rights and, for a shared page, the consent
check are the same as for a text read.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Let a page use the files next to it

A page runs from a srcdoc with no network, so fetch('news.json'),
<script src="app.js">, <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">,
<img src="logo.png"> and import './x.js' all failed without a word.
Models that split a page into files, or load its data with fetch,
made pages that showed nothing.

Before the frame loads, the UI now reads the files that the page names
with relative URLs, with the same calls as the bridge, and puts them in:
classic scripts in place (deferred ones at the end of the body), style
sheets as <style> with their @import and url(), images as data: URLs,
and ES modules as blob: URLs behind an import map, so cycles and
import() work. A page with modules gets blob: in script-src; no other
part of the policy changes. Inside the frame, fetch and XMLHttpRequest
read relative URLs with files.read and answer with a real Response (200,
404 for a missing file, 413, 415); any other URL rejects with "network
is off in pages; put the data in a file next to the page".

Every path is resolved inside the page's folder: .., %2e%2e, absolute
paths, backslashes and protocol-relative URLs are refused, and the
query and the fragment are dropped. The files go in only after a shared
page is allowed, with the viewer's rights. The files that go in are at
most 4 MiB, images 2 MiB; a script or style sheet that does not load
shows a notice in the page. A change of one of these files reloads the
page, as a change of index.html does.

The skills, the docs and the shared pages fixture say and test the same.

* Return tool descriptions from an MCP connector test

A connection test listed only the tool names. A person who adds a
server cannot tell from a name such as "query" what the tool does or
whether to keep the connector on.

The test response now also has tool_details: each tool with the
description its server gives, in the order of tools. tools is
unchanged, so existing clients keep working.

* Add jq, ripgrep, sqlite3 and archive tools to the Sandbox guest

The guest user cannot install packages and apt is blocked by the proxy,
so any tool the model needs has to be in the image. Add jq, ripgrep,
sqlite3, zip, unzip, file and tree to the final stage.

A new check-tools.sh runs in the existing build step and fails the build
when one of these programs, Poppler, git or curl is missing or does not
start.

The list is one constant, GuestTools, in the shared sandbox package. The
Commands block of the prompt of an isolated chat names it. The tool
description (capped at 400 characters, already full) and the turn note
(cut at 400 characters) have no room for it. Tests keep the Dockerfile,
the check script and the Sandbox documentation in line with the constant.

* Keep the helper files of a chat in its work folder

A chat asked for a Word document left a 19 KB build script at the top of
the user's home, next to the user's own files. Chats like it leave
scripts, intermediate data, logs and drafts at the top level or in
folders such as scripts/, and nothing tells them apart from what the
user asked for.

Each chat now has a work folder, Chats/<chat folder>/work/ in the
user's home, next to its attachments. The chat takes the name of its
folder at its first turn (checked against the folders and the other
recent chats of the user, so two chats with one title get two names)
and makes the folder only when it is used: before a bash command runs,
or when a file is saved there. The prompt of every turn names the
folder and says what goes in it: scripts, helper code, intermediate
data, logs and drafts go there; the deliverable goes where the user
said or at the top of the home; no new top-level folders for scripts;
a run-once command needs no file. A sub-agent is told its parent's
folder. The descriptions of bash (the Sandbox's, within its 400
characters, and the built-in one) and of write_file end with one short
hint, and the built-in office, apps and workspace skills say the same
in one line.

The steering is soft. When write_file, move_file or a command leaves a
helper file outside the work folder, the result gets one line that
suggests moving it, at most once a turn of a chat.

One function (workspace/workfiles) decides the kind of a file:
working for anything in a chat's work folder, or for a script, a log
or a temporary file by its extension or a folder named scripts, tmp or
scratch; deliverable for everything else, and always for pages, the
LocalAI folder, the shared folders and the files the user attached.
The chat's file list (kind), the files of a command's card
(files[].kind) and the card of a file tool (file_kind) carry it, so the
interface only renders it.

The runtime setting chats_work_folder (on by default) turns the
steering off.

* Stop telling the model that the Sandbox has npm

The guest image has no Node, so the network hints named a tool that
does not exist.

* Open the links of a page after the person confirms them

A page runs in a frame without allow-popups or top navigation, so a
click on <a href="https://..."> did nothing, and a link to #id loaded
LocalAI's own address in the frame, since a srcdoc resolves it against
the parent. A news page had only dead links.

The bridge of the frame now takes the clicks on links (also with a
modifier, the middle button or Enter) and window.open(), and sends
link.open(url) to the host. The host lets through only an http or https
address without a user name or password, at most 2048 characters;
javascript:, data:, file:, blob:, //host and links to other files of
the page are refused with a message in the console. A bar above the
page shows the site in large type, the whole address, and Open and
Cancel. A host in punycode also says how it reads, since it may imitate
another site. Open is a click in the app, so the new tab is not blocked
and opens with noopener and noreferrer. A page asks at most 5 links at
once, then one every 3 seconds. A link to #id scrolls the page.

The sandbox, the policy of the frame and the consent of shared pages do
not change; a shared page asks the same way.

* Let the items of a Home widget link

A list widget showed each item as plain text, so a digest of articles
or a list of pages could not take the person anywhere. An item now has
an optional url. An http or https address without a user name opens in
a new tab with noopener and noreferrer, and its tooltip names the site;
a path of the app (/app/pages, /app/chats, /app/files and the other
screens a person reads) opens inside LocalAI. The label is the link,
with a focus ring, an underline on hover and focus, and an icon for an
address outside the app.

The widget-data schema checks the url, and the server adds an error in
words that names the item and the rule, so a trigger run that writes a
bad link learns why. The skill and the docs show the field.

* Attach any file in a chat with one button

The chat had three attach buttons (image, audio, file) that all add to
the same list, and the file button's dialog filtered on */*, which
some file dialogs read as a type filter that greys out archives such as
.zip. A chat now shows one Attach file button whose dialog has no type
filter. Composers without anyFile keep the three buttons.

* Accept both Node behaviours for a broken punycode label in the link test

Node 22 refuses the address, Node 24 parses it. Both mean the page never
opens it unwarned.

* Show a chat's working files apart from what it made

The Files pane, the steps and the preview treated a helper script like
the document the user asked for: a 19 KB build script was listed next
to the document, got a chip under the answer, and the preview opened on
whichever file was newest.

The interface now renders the kind the server puts on each file. The
pane lists what the chat made first and folds the working files into
one quiet heading under the rest, "Working files · 2", with a line that
says what they are; opening it shows their rows, which preview like any
file. A working file opened from a step unfolds the group. The preview
that opens by itself after a turn picks the newest file that is not a
working file, and the chips under the answer name only those files. A
step that saved working files lists them as one line, "Also saved 2
working files", that opens to their chips, and the file of a write_file
step that is a working file is a quieter chip. The files the user
attached are unchanged.

* Add a search field and a segmented filter to the UI kit

The Agents views each drew their own toolbar: a search box capped at
320 px on the agents list, round chip filters on the triggers history,
and a bare checkbox on the tasks page. Add-ons already had the look the
product wants (a search that fills the row and a segmented tray), but
only as add-on classes.

SearchField and Segmented are that toolbar as two small primitives with
ui-* classes and token values only. Segmented buttons carry their id in
data-filter, so specs can press them. The README shows how to use them.

* Draw an agent task run as a history row with its output

The jobs of an agent task were table rows that opened to bare <pre>
blocks: no copy, parameters printed as k=v, the traces in a raw
<details>, and "by manual" in the server's words.

RunItem is one run of a history list: a toggle, the state chip, what it
was and what happened, when and for how long, small actions, and the
details that open under it. OutputBlock draws an answer or an error in
mono with a Copy button. JobRow and JobDetail use them for a job: the
values it ran with as labelled chips, the answer or error, the steps,
the webhook outcome and a link to the chat that holds the run. Times
show as words with the full date as a tooltip.

The agent task helpers gain the pure rules the page needs: the jobs of
a task, the run filters (waiting and running count as in progress), the
on/off filter and search of the task list, the field errors of a save,
how a job started, and the API call that runs a task by name.

* Create, edit and run agent tasks in a side sheet

The task form opened as bare fields above the list, with a checkbox for
On and a Save button that was only disabled when a field was missing.
Run with parameters was a second inline form in the same place.

TaskSheet is a side sheet with three labelled groups (about, who runs
it, what it does), help under each field, the parameters the prompt
asks for as chips while you type, and an On switch. Save checks the
required fields, says next to each one what is missing, and moves the
focus to the first. RunSheet asks for each value the prompt names and
shows the prompt as the task will receive it.

* Show the details of an agent task in a pane with tabs

A task had no details view: its prompt, its runs and the way to run it
over the API were only in the lede of the page.

TaskPane is the kit's side pane with three tabs. Overview shows who
runs the task, the values it asks for, the prompt and a curl call that
runs it by name, with Copy. Runs lists its jobs. Settings holds the On
switch, the webhook count and Delete. Run and Edit stay in the footer.
The tabs move with the arrow keys, Home and End.

* Rebuild the agent tasks page from the shared list pieces

The tasks page looked unstyled next to Add-ons and the agents list: two
raw tables under uppercase eyebrows, a bare checkbox for All users,
forms that opened above the list, three text buttons on every row, and
on a phone a table that broke names one syllable per line.

The page now uses the same pieces as the polished pages. The header has
one line and New task. A toolbar holds the search, an All/On/Off filter
and, for an administrator, an All users switch. Each task is an agent
row: a tile, the name, two lines of description, who runs it and what
it asks for, the last run's state and time with the run strip, an On
switch, Run and a menu. A task with no parameters runs at once. The
name opens the details pane; New task, Edit and Run open the sheets.
The run history is grouped by day, with a state filter, a task filter
and Show more. A job is deleted after an in-page question. With no
tasks the page explains what one is, with an example; a failed load
shows the error with Try again. On a phone the controls grow to 44 px
and the filters scroll sideways.

New strings, and the task strings that existed only in English, are in
all nine locales; the strings the page no longer uses are gone. A new
stubbed spec covers the list, filters, sheets, pane and history, and the
real-server spec follows the new controls. The docs describe the page.

* Rebuild the MCP connectors page on the Add-ons patterns

The page read as a form: every connector was a row of raw controls (a
checkbox, a Test button, red Delete text), the add form pushed the list
down, a test result vanished on reload, and the frame was narrower than
the pages next to it in the sidebar.

The page now uses the same blocks as Add-ons and Files:

- Full page width and the shared PageHeader with a one-sentence purpose
  and "Add connector".
- The Add-ons toolbar (search and a state filter with counts) from four
  connectors, and the Add-ons rows: a monogram tile, a state chip
  (Connected, Needs sign-in, Can't connect, Not tested, Off), one line
  with the tools or the reason, a meta line, the kit Switch and a menu.
- Details in the shared SidePane: the switch, the last test, the tools
  with their descriptions and a search, the connection with the query of
  the address hidden, and what is saved.
- Add and edit in the shared SideSheet: kind first, grouped fields with
  inline checks, masked secrets with show and hide, then "Save and
  test", the result with the tools, and Turn on. Escape and Cancel ask
  before they drop typed changes.
- An empty state that says what a connector is for.

The last test of each connector is kept in this browser with a hash of
what it tested, never the address or a secret, so the page shows the
last known state after a reload. Strings are in all nine locales.

* Document the MCP connectors page and its states

The MCP servers section now describes the add sheet (kind, checks,
masked secrets, Save and test, Turn on), the states a connector shows,
where the last test is kept, the search and the filter, and the details
pane. The test example shows tool_details.

* Render a preloaded page without its loading placeholder

A page that was preloaded still showed the route's loading placeholder
when it opened: React.lazy suspends once on its first render even when
the chunk is already in memory, and React keeps a fallback on screen
for at least 300 ms once it shows one. Opening a chat from Home showed
a blank page for that time.

The page loader now remembers the module once it has loaded and hands
it to React.lazy as a thenable that resolves at once, so a preloaded
page renders in the same commit. A preload of a segment now warms
every page registered under it: /app/chats is the chat page, its
connectors and its conversion page, and before only the last one
registered was preloaded.

* Move the composer from Home into the new chat in one gesture

Sending the first message on Home was a hard cut. The page stood still
while the chat was created, then showed a blank placeholder, the empty
"new chat" screen with its composer in the middle, an empty thread
with the composer at the bottom, and only then the message, while the
sidebar folded and moved the whole column. Focus was lost.

Now Send fades the rest of Home and keeps the composer in place while
the message goes. When the send has answered, a view transition moves
the composer to the dock of the chat, lifts the text out of it into
the message, moves the attached files with it and folds the sidebar in
place; the model's indicator comes in after the message has landed and
the empty composer has the focus. The chat page draws the message from
what Home already knows (a small hand-off store: the chat record, the
text and the files, with the local copy of an image for its thumbnail)
and keeps the same row when the server's transcript replaces it, so
nothing is drawn twice or animates again. What is sent to the server
does not change.

A browser without view transitions gets a FLIP slide of the composer
and the message (Web Animations, transform and opacity only). Less
motion gets a short cross-fade, or an instant switch. A send that fails
brings Home back, shakes the composer and keeps the draft; a second
Enter while one send is in flight sends nothing. The draft is cleared
when Home closes, so the box never shows its placeholder on the way.

Focus mode folds the sidebar in a layout effect, so the fold happens in
the frame the conversation appears. One motion token is added,
--dur-glide (360 ms), for a part that travels to its place on the next
page.

* Draw the triggers as rows and their history like the task runs

The triggers page used a table with a switch column next to the agents
card list, folded its list behind Hide, filtered the history with round
chips, and on a phone cut each history row at the right edge.

Each trigger is now an agent row: a clock or folder tile, the name, the
schedule in the server's words, the agent or model and when it runs
next, the last run's state and time with the run strip, an On switch,
Run now and a menu. The week sentence sits under the Run history title.
The history uses the segmented filter and the same run rows and day
headings as the agent tasks, with Show more after 30 runs; an open run
shows its reason with Copy. On a trigger page the prompt comes before
the runs, in the body face, the On switch is the kit switch, and the
runs stop at 10 with Show more.

* Use the shared search and the full width on the agents list

The agents list stopped its search at 320 px and used the content width,
while the Triggers and Tasks views next to it use the full width, so the
title and the view tabs moved when you switched views.

The list now uses SearchField, which fills the toolbar row as on
Add-ons, and the full page width like its sibling views.

* Polish the agent task sheets and pane after a visual review

Screenshots of every state showed a few rough edges:

- The name placeholder looked like a filled-in value next to the error
  "Give the task a name". The name field has no placeholder now, and
  the prompt placeholder starts with "For example:".
- A task run by an agent showed the agent id until the agents were
  read. It says "Agent" until then.
- A run opened in the details pane also opened in the history, and the
  two copies shared an element id. The pane keeps its own open runs and
  ids.
- A failed run in the pane drew its meta line in red; the title carries
  the error colour there now.
- A group title that is not a legend had a double gap under it, and the
  kebab menus were under 44 px on a phone.

* Cover the code files of a shared page in its consent

The consent to a shared page was kept against the hash of index.html
and page.json. The UI also puts the scripts, style sheets and modules
next to the page into it before it runs, so the author could change
app.js after a viewer allowed the page and run new code without asking
again.

The server now finds the same files as the UI's inliner: every script
src, stylesheet link, relative CSS @import and module import of the
folder, followed through the module graph. Their content hashes go into
the hash of the page, and a file the page names that is missing counts
too, so adding it later also asks again. Data files and images stay
out, so saving data does not ask again. The files are listed as
code_files. What a file names is kept per content hash in a small
per-frontend cache, which only saves reads.

Two more checks close the gaps around it. A frame of an older version
that reads a changed file of code gets 409, so a script edited while
the page is open never runs under the old consent. The UI puts no text
file into a shared page that is not in code_files, so if the server and
the UI ever disagree, the file fails to load instead of running outside
the consent. The trust sheet names the files of code when only one of
them changed.

* Let a page be a tile on Home in its compact mode

Home widgets could show a list, a number or the last chats, but not one
of the pages a person or the assistant built. A page can now be a tile.

A page opts in with a widget block in page.json: a size (small, medium
or large, the height of the tile) and an optional short title. A
widget of type page in LocalAI/home.json names the page, and a folder
id for a page of a shared folder. The server takes at most three page
widgets and says why in words, and refuses a name that is not a page
name.

The tile runs the page in the same sandbox and bridge as the full
view. The page reads localai.page.mode ("widget" in a tile, "page"
otherwise) and localai.page.size, and <html> carries data-mode and
data-size, so the page decides how its tile looks instead of being
shrunk. The tile reserves the height of its size, builds its frame only
once it scrolls into view, tells the page through a new visibility
event when it goes out of sight or the tab is hidden, takes the frame
down far off screen, and keeps at most three frames alive. It has a
title bar with Open page and a refresh button, a skeleton while it
loads, Retry on an error, and the link question of the full view. A
page that is gone or has no widget block shows a calm line with a link
to Customise Home; a shared page that the viewer has not allowed shows
Allow this page, which opens the same trust sheet.

Customise Home lists the pages with a widget block, with the size of
their tile. The task board starter has a compact view, the skills tell
the assistant how to put a page on Home, and the docs describe it.

* Give the Files upload its own size limit

The Files page upload was capped by the general --upload-limit (15 MB
by default), although a workspace file can be 256 MiB.

Make 0 the default of --upload-limit, meaning not set. When it is not
set, the general routes keep the 15 MB limit and the Files upload route
skips it, so the workspace file size is its limit. When the operator
sets a value, it applies to the Files upload too, lower or higher (a
file never exceeds the workspace size). The max_file_size of a folder
listing reports the limit in force.

* Refuse writes of code files from a page

A page loads its own scripts, modules and styles, so a page that could
overwrite app.js or style.css would run new code on its next load. The
page bridge now writes data files only.

The server refuses a write whose final segment has a code or document
extension (js, mjs, cjs, css, html, htm, svg, xml, xhtml, wasm), is named
index, or is page.json, with 403 and a clear message. The check applies
to the page routes only; the Files page and the assistant's file tools
keep full write access. The judgement lives in pages.IsCodeFile and is
mirrored by isCodeFile in the web host, which refuses early with the
error code forbidden. Both run one table of cases, covering case, double
extensions, trailing dots and spaces, percent-encoding, backslashes and
lookalike dots.

* Make the trigger tools a built-in group a chat can switch off

propose_trigger, list_triggers, update_trigger and delete_trigger were
added to every chat a person starts, with no switch. They are now four
entries of the built-in tool registry in one group, triggers, so the
Tools menu, the tools panel, the draft list and the builtins switch
endpoint handle them like the web group. The group is on by default.

A trigger or connector run and a sub-agent still never get them. The
panel lists the group as not usable, with a reason, for those chats,
for a user without the triggers feature, and not at all when the server
runs no triggers. The group has no runtime setting, so the registry
gets an Unlisted flag and Settings > Tools skips it. The panel now
builds every grouped tool to learn whether it is usable, not only the
opt-in ones.

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

* Show the Triggers group in the chat Tools menu

The menu rows come from the groups the server lists, so the row needs
only its label in the nine locales. A Playwright spec covers the row,
its switch request, Select all and Disable all, and the disabled row
with its reason.

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

* Talk about settings, not the files behind them

The settings cards, the shortcuts row, Home and the change notes in a
chat named the files that hold a person's settings: "Defined in
LocalAI/shortcuts.json", "Layout is in LocalAI/home.json", "Saved
LocalAI/persona.json". A person changes their shortcuts or their Home,
not a file, and the Files page still shows the files to whoever looks.

The "Stored in", "Defined in" and "Layout is in" lines are gone; the
history line keeps Versions, Revert and the Invalid badge. The notes
say what changed ("Saved your shortcuts.", "Created the page Task
board."), the errors name the setting or the widget instead of a path,
and the Source view says "The settings as text" instead of JSON and
schema. A failed save now says what happened in one plain sentence and
keeps the server's own words under a collapsed Details. The drafts that
"Edit with the assistant" puts in the composer no longer carry the
path; the built-in workspace skill already maps shortcuts and Home to
their files.

All nine locales are translated; only the changed keys moved, and four
keys that nothing reads any more are removed.

* Drop internal names from the skills, add-ons and tasks copy

Other pages used words that only make sense to someone who knows how
LocalAI is built:

- Skills said "a folder with a SKILL.md" and "the file workspace". It
  now says what a skill is for, and that skills need Files.
- The add-on notes blamed "the owner", the internal name of the server
  that runs add-ons. They now say what happened to the action, or that
  the add-on service is not available; a private library names a
  credential "an administrator configured on this server".
- The Tasks header listed an API route, and the first-run wizard spoke
  of a "host bash fallback". The memory line of Settings no longer
  mentions "the resources endpoint".

All locales that have these keys are translated. The skill delete
dialog, the unused skills intro and the Tasks header exist only in
English and change only there.

* Fail the unit tests when UI copy names implementation details

A new test reads every string of every locale and fails when one names
a settings or data file (.json, .yaml, LocalAI/), an API route or HTTP
method, a setting key (chats_*), an environment variable, a format
word (JSON, YAML, schema) or a path shown as code. Plain words such as
"schema" and "endpoint" are checked in English only, since other
languages use them for other things.

Operator pages may still name the model configuration, the metrics
route or a startup setting that the docs name. Those keys are listed in
ui-copy-allowlist.json, each with the audience and the reason. The list
only shrinks: an entry whose string no longer needs it, or whose key is
gone, fails too.

* Make the built-in skills answer in plain words

The skills told the model to report file names, folders and formats
after a change. Add one rule near the top of localai-workspace and

file only when the user did or asks. Replace the example replies that
carried paths, keep every path that says where to write, and pin the
rule with a test.

* Share the blob wait and the counting of the two workspace purges

The JSON and GORM stores each had the 2-minute default for the blob
grace, the same switch that reads the BlobGrace option, and the same
loop that counts files, folders and bytes per revision. They now call
blob.Grace and PurgeResult.Add, both with specs. The SQL and the
in-memory walk that pick the nodes stay in each store.

* Read the upper layer of a sandbox in one place for both stores

The JSON and GORM workspace stores had the same readUpper, place,
joinRel, depth and sortedKeys, with the same upperSet types. They move
to workspace/internal/upperset, which has its own specs. The commit
algorithm that applies the set to the nodes stays in each store; it
needs a storage interface first.

* Let chat attachments use the 1 GiB message limit

The docs promise 1 GiB for a message with attachments, but the general
body limit (15 MB by default) ran first, because only the Files upload
skipped it. Skip it also for a multipart POST to the messages route
when the operator set no --upload-limit. A JSON message keeps the
general limit, and an explicit --upload-limit still wins. A message
that goes over the 1 GiB limit now gets 413, not 400.

* Name the read_file tool in the skills index header

A weaker model read a built-in skill with the wrong path and then tried
the Sandbox, which cannot see skill folders. The header now says which
tool reads a skill and that the shown path is the one to use, before it
mentions where the user's own skills go.

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

* Tell the model that skill folders are not in the Sandbox

The Commands block of an isolated chat now says that skills are read

* Point read_document at read_file for text files

read_document reads PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and EPUB files. For a

* Tidy the text index stores and the indexer pool

The two stores wrote the default limits 20 and 100 as numbers in five
places; they are now named constants, so the stores cannot drift. The
JSON store checks a missing file with errors.Is. The indexer starts its
readers with wg.Go and keeps the first error inline, which drops the
cmpErr helper.

* Refuse the server's public address in the Sandbox proxy

web_fetch refuses the addresses of the server: its interfaces,
loopback and the host of the external base URL. The Sandbox proxy runs
in the add-on process and listed only the interfaces of its own
machine. Under "All public sites", an always-allowed host or an Allow
card, a command could reach the LocalAI API through the public name or
address of the server, a NAT address or a proxy in front of it.

The host now keeps one list for both. The application builds it once,
gives it to web_fetch, and sends it as CIDR strings in the new self
field of every egress.check allow. The proxy keeps the last list it
got and refuses it on each dial, besides its own interfaces, also for
an allow it cached. safehttp gets the codec and a join of deny lists,
so both sides read the list the same way.

* Check the TLS server name on every port of the Sandbox proxy

The proxy checked the ClientHello only on CONNECT to port 443. An
always-allowed host pinned to another port, or any port added to
chats_egress_ports, was a raw tunnel: a command could open TLS to
another tenant of the same front through it. The docs said the server
name must still match.

On other ports the proxy still waits for nothing, since the protocol
may be anything and the server may speak first. But when the first
bytes from the guest are a TLS handshake record, it reads the whole
ClientHello and passes it on only when the server name is the CONNECT
host; otherwise it closes the tunnel and audits the reason sni.

* Say what sent each notification

The inbox only knew whether a notification was about a run or needed
attention, so a trigger that was switched off and a connector that was
switched off looked the same. Each notification now carries a source:
trigger, connector or system (the conversion of old data). The list
endpoint returns it, and items stored before have none.

* Say where a skill is when a read of it fails

When read_file, read_document or list_files fail with not found for a
path that names a skill of the chat (a wrong skills folder, or just
<name>/SKILL.md), the error now gives the skill's real path and says to
read it with read_file. The skills come from the chat's own resolver, so
every layer, add-on and per-user switch is respected, and nothing is
looked up unless a read fails.

* Keep the last valid Sandbox network lists when a value is bad

The settings endpoint refuses a bad chats_egress_allowed_hosts with the
reason, and the runtime settings file keeps the value in force. A bad
value that reached the configuration another way was dropped with no
log line: the always-allowed hosts and the extra registries became
empty, and a bad port list fell back to 80 and 443, which can widen a
narrower list.

Each of the three lists now keeps the last value that parsed, logs a
bad value once, and uses the default only when the process never saw
a valid one. The parse runs again only when the value changes, not on
every egress.check.

* Use the keyless chain of the built-in search in the Web add-on

The add-on replaces the built-in web_search, but its keyless provider
was DuckDuckGo alone. DuckDuckGo often answers data-center addresses
with a bot check, so installing the add-on without a key made search
worse than the built-in, which falls back to the Brave Search and Bing
result pages.

The keyless entry of the add-on's order (saved name duckduckgo) is now
the built-in chain from pkg/web/search: DuckDuckGo, then the Brave
Search page, then the Bing page, with the same cool-down. The status
tool reports the providers in their cool-down, and the Settings tab
shows them with the reason. Test the providers gives one row for each
page of the chain.

* Fix the GitHub hosts in the Q1 row of the egress design

The Q1 row still listed raw.githubusercontent.com on the registries
list. The owner decision below it and registries.json exclude it,
since it serves any user content, and add
release-assets.githubusercontent.com. The row now says the same.

* Keep one private-address rule for the network cards

A card asked whether its host is a private IP literal by calling
egress.Admits with a made-up ceiling, which re-derived the rule that
egress already has. egress.PrivateLiteral is now exported (with a spec)
and the card uses it. The two String methods of an allowed host write
host:port with net.JoinHostPort, which brackets an IPv6 literal the
same way the hand-written code did.

* Read a unique constraint violation in one place

The jobs and triggers stores had the same isUniqueViolation, and the
saved agents store had the same test inline before it looked for the
name index. They now call dberr.IsUniqueViolation, which has specs for
the SQLite and PostgreSQL error texts. The workspace store keeps its
own stricter match.

* Ask before a Home widget link opens another site

A list widget turned an http or https item into a plain link to a new
tab. Its data file is written by trigger runs and the assistant, which
read web text, so a planted link opened with one click, and only a
tooltip showed the host. A link of a page asks first.

An external item link now opens the confirmation bar of page links in
the widget: the site, the full address, the punycode warning, and Open
or Cancel. A link inside the app still navigates directly. The bar
takes a label, so the widget says that it wants to open the link.

* Prune the audit of the commands run on this machine

The audit of the built-in bash had no retention: the database table
grew without bound in a cluster, with commands of up to 4 KiB each.
The Sandbox network audit had chats_egress_audit_days and a daily
prune under an advisory lock.

Both audits record what the commands of the chats did, so the host
command audit now uses the same retention and is pruned in the same
daily pass: one frontend of a cluster, under the same lock; a
standalone process alone. The GORM and file stores get Prune. No new
setting.

* Save the Studio JSON stores with atomicfile.WriteJSON

Seven stores (agents, connectors, jobs, MCP connections, notifications,
push subscriptions and triggers) encoded their state and then called
atomicfile.Write with the same four lines. atomicfile.WriteJSON does
both and has specs. The load side stays in each store, since the error
messages differ.

* Build the result page walkers of the keyless search on one walk

hasChallenge and firstByClass each had their own recursive walk that
stopped at the first match. They are now predicates passed to
firstElement, which already did that walk. The order of the walk and
the element tested first are the same.

* Expire network cards that a dead frontend left pending

Pending network cards expired only on the turn-end path of the process
that ran the turn. When that frontend died, its cards stayed pending
in the chat record, counted toward the cap of three, and gave the next
turn's connections cards-full blocks. The UI showed them as waiting.

A card now names the turn that asked it. One rule, shared with the
command card in a later change, says whether a card still has a
waiter: its turn holds the chat and its wait has not run out. A card
that fails it reads as expired, takes no place under the cap, and is
expired in the record when the next card is asked, when the next turn
starts, or when the reaper ends the dead turn.

* Reuse ChooseProvider for the expected add-on of a tool

shadowers.expected repeated ChooseProvider line for line: the pinned
add-on when it is installed, else the oldest install. It now calls it.
commandFiles kept an order field and sorted the nodes of a map by it;
it now appends each node to a list when it first sees it, which gives
the same order without the sort.

* Do not print a nil error when a key or entry is missing

Three checks joined "the read failed" and "the read found nothing" in
one branch, so the second case wrote "<nil>" into the message: the
VAPID keys of push notifications, the sealing key of connectors and a
rendered catalog entry. Each case now has its own message. The message
of a failed read does not change.

* Check the close errors and rename the tool variables

golangci-lint failed on the new studio code. Five deferred Close calls
and one Fprintf into a hash dropped their error, and two locals named t
made forbidigo read `t.Run` as a testing call. Discard the errors
explicitly and name the locals tool.

* Make the file text index forget purged files and say its limits

Three gaps of the text index of documents:

- A purge dropped the index entries of what it erased in a goroutine
  that only logged its errors, and the purge had already erased the
  journal rows. A crash or a store error left the text in the database
  for good. Each pass of the indexer now also checks a batch of entries
  (200 every 30 s, round all of them) and deletes those whose node is
  gone, so what a failed Forget leaves is removed.

- A document search stopped at 20000 files or 64 MiB of text without a
  word, and the "still being indexed" count stopped at 50. The search
  now sets Limited (search_files says "results limited", the REST
  answer has "limited", the Files page shows a note), and the count is
  the number of pending entries below the path.

- read_file extracted a long document again for every page, up to 50
  MiB and 60 s each time. The first read keeps the whole text in the
  index store by content hash (a new documents table, or files in the
  JSON store), and the next pages come from it. The text goes away with
  the last entry of that content, on delete and on purge.

Search reads the text without its folded copy, which only the database
needs.

* Stop the PDF reader when the extraction gives up

The PDF and EPUB reader runs in a goroutine, and the call returns after
60 seconds when it is slow. The goroutine went on reading every page,
since its context ended only with the caller's. It now gets a context
that ends when the call returns, so it stops at the next page. What
the call returns does not change.

* Compare the code files of a shared page as the store does

The guard that refuses new code to a frame of an older version compared
the name it reads with the names of the page's code exactly. The
workspace folds case, so an old frame that read Index.html or JS/App.js
got the new code with no 409. Compare names in the store's form
(workspace.FoldName), as the write check already does, and test the
case variants.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Expire the command card of a turn that is over

The card of the built-in bash was cleared only by a defer in the call
that asked. When that frontend died, the card stayed in the chat
record. The chat hid it only while no turn ran, so the next turn
showed it again, and an answer to it reached no one but still got 204.

The card now names its turn and when it was asked, and follows the
same rule as the network cards: it waits only while that turn holds
the chat and its five minutes have not run out. GET /api/chats/{id}
shows only such a card. The next turn and the reaper clear a card left
behind, and the waiting call clears only its own card, so it never
removes a newer one. An answer to a card with nobody waiting is
410 consent_expired, and the chat shows the card as not answered, with
no buttons. The store gets UpdateHostConsent, an atomic change of the
card.

* Answer a trigger change once across frontends

ApplyChange, UndoChange and DismissChange checked the outcome of the
change record under a mutex of one process, then wrote the store. Two
frontends could both see a pending change and both apply it, or both
undo it.

Add Store.SetOutcome, a conditional update of the outcome (only from
the outcome it names), to the GORM and JSON stores and to the store
suite. The three answers now claim the record with it before they
write, give the outcome back when the change itself fails, and answer
ErrProposalAnswered (409) when another request won. A test runs the
two answers on two frontends at the moment between the read and the
write, for an edit, its undo, and a delete.

* Add the shadowers spec to the tables-tools inventory

* Offer Clear filters when the backend Catalog shows nothing

The Installed view had a Clear filters button in its no-results state;
the Catalog view did not, although the spec asks for it in both. Move
the button to one place and show it in the Catalog when a search, a
type filter or a library filter leaves no row. Add Playwright specs for
both views, which the earlier Installed fix lacked.

* Give the chat settings without an assistant tool their reason

chats_max_iterations, chats_work_folder, chats_index_files and
chats_index_max_text_bytes had no MCP tool and no entry in
adminRoutesWithoutTool, and the older chats_saved_agents,
chats_suggestions, chats_vision_model and chats_transcription_model
were unlisted too. Add each with the reason it stays a person's choice
in Settings: they apply to every user's chats, and the step limit is
one a model must not raise for itself.

* Remove the stray allowed-hosts keys from the chats inbox locales

allowedHosts, allowedHostsOff and allowedHostsNote sat twice in eight

copies had drifted apart. Delete the inbox copies and keep the egress
ones.

* Bring three design specs in line with what shipped

- web tools and shadowing: the status still said phase 2 waits; both
  phases shipped. Note that the Web add-on's keyless entry is now the
  built-in keyless chain.
- Home front door: Home now creates the chat and sends the first
  message itself, with a short-lived hand-off to the chat page, and
  its composer takes attachments. Both were described the old way or
  as out of scope.
- chat footer: the meter bar is 96 px with the tokens left, and a phone
  keeps the bar and the tokens left, not the percentage only.

* Store the command card's answer and read it back every two seconds

The answer to the command card of the built-in bash went only as a
bus message. When the message was lost, the call waited the full five
minutes and ended as not answered, although the person had clicked.
The network card stores its answer first and re-reads the card every
two seconds.

The command card now does the same, through one shared pair of
helpers: listenConsent subscribes before the card is stored, and
waitConsent wakes on the bus message or every two seconds and reads
the record, which holds the truth. The network card uses the same
helpers. HostExecDecide writes the decision to the card atomically
before it sends the message: the same answer twice is 204, the other
answer 409 already_answered, and an answered card is no longer shown
as waiting.

* Load skills by name with a load_skill tool

A weaker model failed to read a skill at the path the index showed. The
chat now has a built-in load_skill tool that takes a skill's name and
returns the instructions of its SKILL.md, without the frontmatter.

The tool reads the same resolved skill set as the index: the nearest
skill of each name, the chat's switches, the add-ons the chat can use
now and the grants of its agent. It reads through the user's rights.
When the skill's folder holds other files, the answer starts with the
base directory and names up to 20 of them for read_file; a chat without
read_file gets the instructions only. A skill that needs commands, in a
chat that cannot run them, is refused with the reason. An unknown name
is an error that gives near names first and then every name the chat
has.

Every chat with at least one skill gets the tool, and a sub-agent gets
it with its parent's tools. It has no switch and Settings > Tools does
not list it.

The index of skills now lists names and descriptions only and tells the
model to call load_skill. The Sandbox sentence and the error for a
wrong skill path now point at load_skill too.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Tell the built-in skills to load other skills by name

localai-apps told the model to read the localai-workspace skill, and
writing-skills said a description is what the agent sees before it
opens the file. Both now speak of loading a skill with load_skill.
localai-workspace keeps the path of its schemas folder and says to read
it with read_file, since those files are not a skill.

A test checks that no built-in skill sends the model to another skill by
"read" or by the path of its SKILL.md.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Document load_skill and the skills index

The chats page now says that the prompt lists skills by name and
description, that load_skill returns a skill's instructions and names
the files of its folder, what it refuses and who gets it. It no longer
says the model reads a skill by its path. The add-ons page says how a
chat loads an add-on's skill, and the saved agents page says that the
skills grant limits load_skill too.

* Add the proposal action spec to the tables-acceptance inventory

The spec that an editor cannot confirm a schema change as a write ran in
the suite but was never in the inventory, so the evidence manifest check
failed. CI did not reach that check before, because the burst spec
failed first.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Give a chat a goal that it works toward by itself

A chat can now hold one goal. While it is active, every turn's prompt
names it, the model gets goal_done and goal_blocked, and when a turn
ends by itself the frontend that ran it starts the next one with
"Continue toward the goal". The person's waiting messages still go
first, and a turn they start does not count as an automatic one.

The goal pauses when the person presses Stop, when a turn fails or is
cut short, and when the automatic turns or the model steps reach their
limits. Resume gives it fresh budgets. A sub-agent, and a chat that a
trigger, a connector, a job or a page started, has no goal and no goal
tools.

The goal lives with the chat record in the store (UpdateGoal on the
JSON and GORM stores, with contract tests and a column migration), so
every frontend reads the same one. The next turn goes through the same
turn claim as any other, so only one frontend continues it; a reaped
turn, or a JSON store that reloads after a crash, leaves the goal
paused instead of continued twice. The transcript keeps goal lines
(set, replaced, continue, paused, resumed, done, blocked, cleared) as
their own role, so an automatic message never reads as typed by the
person.

* Add a store for the loops of the chats

A loop repeats a prompt in one chat, at an interval or when the model
asks for the next run. The new loops package keeps the loops, the
daily budget of runs of each owner, and which chats confirmed a loop
once. JSON and GORM stores share one contract suite. Add checks the
limits per chat and per owner in the same step as the insert, and
TakeRun never hands out the last run of a day twice, also across
frontends.

A user message that a loop sent now carries a loop mark (loop ID, run
number, self-paced or not). Both chat stores keep it. The model reads
a short line before the prompt that says the message repeats by
itself, and, for a self-paced loop, how to ask for the next run.

* Check the Settings page and the add-ons with the UI copy guard

The guard read the locale files only. The Settings page keeps its
English labels and descriptions in settingsSchema.js, and several
add-ons carry their own English bundle, so neither was checked.

The guard now also reads the label, description and note of every
setting and the label and hint of every group, and the English
bundles of the add-ons (an en.js module or an English JSON file).
The allow-list takes settings:<key>.<what> and addon:<id>:<key>
entries, each with its reason; the operator ones (the SearXNG JSON
format, the fine-tuning file types, the API route of a voice, the
schema of the Databases add-on) are listed.

What it found in the voice library is fixed in plain words: "model
YAML is not modified" and "Existing model YAML is not changed" now say
that the models' settings are not changed, in the voice add-on, the
Studio add-on and the host locales that have the strings (en, fr,
pt-BR). The two host allow-list entries for them go.

* Draw the Add-ons search and state filter with the kit pieces

The Add-ons page had its own copy of the search box and the segmented
filter (ad-search, ad-seg), the same shapes and styles as the kit's
SearchField and Segmented that the Agents pages use. Use the kit
pieces and drop the copy; the narrow-screen rules now target the kit
classes inside the toolbar. The search keeps its test id.

* Add the limits of a chat goal to the runtime settings

chats_goal_max_turns (1 to 200, default 20) is the most turns a chat
with a goal starts by itself, and chats_goal_max_steps (1 to 10000,
default 400) the most model steps of all the turns of one goal, before
the goal pauses. Both are read when a turn ends, so they apply without
a restart. They sit in Settings > Tools next to the step limit of one
turn, and the settings page documents them.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Add the goal routes of a chat to the API

GET, PUT and DELETE /api/chats/{id}/goal read, set and clear a chat's
goal, and POST /api/chats/{id}/goal/resume resumes a paused or blocked
one. They belong to the chat's owner like the other chat routes and
take the chats feature. A chat view carries the goal with the limits
that apply now, the transcript gives goal lines with goal_event and
goal_turn, and the event stream has a goal event so that other tabs
read the chat again.

The routes are in the route feature registry, the swagger file and the
chats entry of /api/instructions. They manage the person's own chat,
not the server, so they have no MCP tool, as the other chat routes. The
chats page documents goals, their states and limits, and how several
frontends share them.

* Redesign the notification inbox

The inbox panel was a plain list: every row had the same weight, a
failed run looked like a finished one, the panel ran off the screen on
a phone, and a failed load showed nothing.

The panel now has a header with the unread count, a menu for Clear read
and Clear all, Mark all read, and an All / Unread / Failed filter. Items
are grouped under Today, Yesterday and Earlier. Each item shows what
sent it (trigger, connector or LocalAI) with a tinted icon, the title,
two lines of text or the reason of a failure, and when it happened, with
the exact time on hover. A click marks it read and opens its chat; a
connector that was switched off opens the connectors page. Mark read and
Delete show on hover or focus, and stay in view on a touch screen.

The panel has a loading skeleton, an error with Try again, an empty
state that says what shows up here, and a caught-up state. A new
notification slides in, is highlighted for a few seconds and is
announced once. The badge stops at 99+. Focus moves into the panel when
it opens; the arrow keys, Home, End and Delete work on the items, and
Esc returns focus to the button. On a phone the panel is a sheet over
the bottom of the screen with 44 px targets.

* Explain the reads of the text index and the provider requests to gosec

gosec flagged three new lines. The text index reads files from the
directory the host gave it, with names it listed there. A search
provider sends its request to the endpoint fixed at construction, never
to a URL from a tool call. Mark the lines with the reason.

* Keep the add-on details open when Escape closes a dialog

Escape in the restore dialog of the recovery panel also closed the
details pane around it. The pane handles Escape in React, and the
dialog listens on the document, so the pane ran first and saw no
preventDefault. The pane now registers as a modal layer and closes only
when it is the top layer, as the side panes do.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Add skill and agent messages, compact and clear to the chats API

A message can now carry a skill of the chat or one of the user's saved
agents. The server checks the name against the chat's resolved skill
set (switches, the agent's grants, shadowing, add-ons) or the saved
agents the chat may call, and refuses an unknown one with a 400 that
lists what the chat has. A skill message gives the model the text of
the skill's SKILL.md before the user's words, for that turn only; an
agent message asks the model to start the agent with spawn_agent. The
transcript keeps the words and the command (Entry.Invoked), not the
instructions. A regenerate or an edit runs the command again. Such a
message does not wait for a running turn: it answers 409.

POST /api/chats/{id}/compact runs the summary the loop makes when the
context fills up, through a new optional session.Compactor that the
loop harness implements with its own history compaction. The compacted
state is saved for the next turn and a "compacted" line with the sizes
goes in the transcript.

POST /api/chats/{id}/clear writes a "cleared" line and drops the saved
state. The model then sees nothing above the line: the rebuilt state
and the transcript summary start after the last such line, so a fork
from above it keeps what the model saw there. Export, import and the
Markdown export carry both lines.

Both calls take the turn claim, so no frontend starts a turn on the
chat meanwhile; messages sent during them start a turn after. No MCP
tool: they act on one chat of the caller and are not admin calls.

* Give each network card spec its own settings

A check that a card spec starts can still wait on its card when the
next spec begins. It read the settings through a closure over a
variable that the next BeforeEach replaced, which the race detector
reported. Each service now reads the settings holder it was built with,
under a lock, and the specs change the settings through it.

* Show the effective audit retention in the settings snapshot

The settings snapshot returned 0 for chats_egress_audit_days while the
setting was unset. Any page that saves the whole snapshot back, such as
the Traces settings strip, then posted 0 and the server rejected it with
"Invalid chats_egress_audit_days", so saving tracing settings failed on a
fresh install.

Report the retention that applies (30 days by default), the same way
chats_max_iterations does.

* Run the Sandbox smoke test in a short scratch folder

The smoke test step was reached for the first time and both isolated
backends refused to start: their state folder under the checkout's
cache made the socket paths 126 and 132 bytes, over the 107 a unix
socket allows. Point SANDBOX_SMOKE_WORK at /tmp/sandbox-smoke, which
leaves room for the sockets.

* Use paths from the home folder in the Sandbox command specs

bash now starts in the user's home folder, so the end-to-end specs that
read and wrote home/<name> found nothing. Use names relative to the
home folder, as the Sandbox specs already do.

* Show the goal of a chat on the chat page

A bar above the composer shows the goal with its state: Pause (which
stops the running turn and so pauses the goal) while it works, Resume
when it paused or needs the person, and Clear. A second line says why
it paused, what the model needs, or what it did. The status line shows
"Goal · turn 3 of 20" while the goal is active, and the Continue button
of a paused turn stays away then, since the next turn starts by itself.

The transcript shows the goal lines as quiet rows: set, replaced,
continuing (with its turn), paused with the reason in plain words,
resumed, reached with the summary, blocked and cleared. A goal event,
also from another tab, reads the chat again, and a hidden live region
says each change to a screen reader once.

The strings are in all nine locales. Unit tests cover the helpers and
the thread rows; a Playwright spec covers the bar, the progress, the
lines, Pause, Resume, Clear and the event.

* Run the loops of the chats

The loop host fires the loops that are due. A run sends the prompt to
the chat as a new message only when the chat is idle: a busy chat
skips the run, and an interval loop moves to its next slot instead of
piling missed runs up. A self-paced loop gets two tools while it is
active: schedule_next (clamped to the minimum interval and one day)
and loop_done. A run in which the model calls neither ends the loop
with a note. A loop ends after its run limit, pauses after three
failed runs in a row, and waits for the next UTC day when the owner's
daily budget of runs is used up.

One frontend fires the loops, the holder of a new advisory lock. A run
is claimed in the store first, and the turn claim keeps one turn per
chat, so a short overlap of two leaders starts no run twice. A new
leader finishes the runs the old one watched. Deleting a chat removes
its loops; a due loop whose chat is gone removes itself.

Five runtime settings bound the loops: chats_loop_min_interval,
chats_loop_max_runs, chats_loop_max_per_chat, chats_loop_max_per_user
and chats_loop_daily_runs.

* Add the loops API of the chats

GET, POST and DELETE /api/chats/{id}/loops list, start and stop the
loops of a chat; PUT and DELETE /api/chats/{id}/loops/{loopId} pause,
resume, confirm or stop one. GET /api/chats/{id} carries the loops,
the transcript marks the user lines a loop sent with loop {id, run},
and a loops event tells every open tab that the list changed.

The routes are gated by the chats feature and documented in the
swagger spec and the API instructions. They act on the caller's own
chats only, so they get no assistant tool. The chats page gets a loop
section, with when to use a loop and when a trigger, and the cluster
behaviour; the runtime settings page lists the five loop settings.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Show the loops of a chat above the message box

Each loop of the open chat shows as one line over the message box,
such as "Loop · every 5 min · run 4 · next at 09:20", with Pause or
Resume and Stop. A loop that paused itself or ended says why; an
ended one has Dismiss. The first loop of a chat shows a card instead:
"Run this every 5 minutes until you stop it?" with Start and Cancel.
The server keeps the pending loop, so a reload shows the card again.

A message that a loop sent carries a small "Loop run 4" label. The
page reads the loops again on the loops event, so every open tab
follows. The answer to /loop list is ready for the slash command. The
strings are in all nine locales.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Build the chat slash menu on one command registry

The slash commands of Home and of a chat now come from one registry,
src/utils/slashCommands.js. A command has a kind (navigate, insert or
server), the surfaces that offer it, a needs check and, optionally, an
argument provider: args(query, ctx) returns the items the menu lists
when the box holds "/cmd <query>". Every existing command and test id
stays; the registry adds:

- one command per skill of the chat or the draft (/review), marked
  built-in, add-on, shared or yours, and /skill <name>, which also
  reaches a skill named like a command;
- /agent <name> <task>, which lists the saved agents, or offers to turn
  them on for the chat when they are off;
- /model and /models with a model name, which switch at once;
- /compact and /clear, which show their progress in the status line
  and leave a marker in the thread; the context meter drops;
- /attach and /attach clear, /help (a card that lists the commands)
  and /about (a card with the model, its state, the tools, skills,
  where commands run and the context size).

Tab completes a command or an argument, Enter runs it, and the first
row whose name starts with what was typed is selected first. A message
typed as a skill or agent command is sent with its marker, not as text;
the transcript shows the words and a chip. Home offers the same set
without the commands that need a thread.

The words are in all nine locales. The registry has unit tests, and a
Playwright spec covers the menu, the completion, the marker, the chip,
compact, clear and the cards with the routes stubbed. The docs page
gains a slash commands section.

* Add the /goal command to the chat

/goal shows a card with the goal, its state, the automatic turns and
steps it used out of the limits, and when it was set. /goal <text>
sets a new goal at once, replacing the one the chat had without a
question, and the goal bar says what it replaced. /goal clear and
/goal resume act on the goal; typing "/goal " lists resume and clear
for the goal the chat has. None of these is sent as a message. In a
new chat, /goal <text> creates the chat first.

The command sits in the Context group of the shared command registry,
on the chat surface only, and not in a chat that a trigger or another
run started. A skill named goal is reached through /skill. Unit tests
cover the parser and the menu items; the Playwright spec covers the
card, setting, replacing, resuming and clearing from the box.

* Add /loop to the chat

/loop [interval] <prompt> starts a loop in the chat; /loop list shows
the loops of the chat with the code that /loop stop takes, and
/loop stop [id] stops one or all. The command is in the slash
registry: after "/loop " the menu offers list and stop, and after
"stop " the loops of the chat.

A loop prompt that invokes a skill (/review the diff, or
/skill review the diff) runs as the person's skill command would: the
model gets the skill's text, and the transcript shows the words, the
skill's chip and the loop label. The server checks the skill when the
loop starts and at each run; any other command is refused with the
reason.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* List the loop settings on the Settings page

The five limits of the loops of the chats show under Tools with the
other chat settings: the shortest interval, the runs per loop, the
loops per chat and per user, and the loop runs per day. All apply at
once.

* Clear a sent Home draft when the page goes away too

Home clears the draft of a sent message when it closes, so the text
stays visible while the composer moves into the new chat. While the
chat page still loads, a reload or a closed tab could come first, and
the sent text came back on Home. Leaving the page now clears it too.

* Check the close error of a previewed file

golangci-lint (errcheck) flagged the deferred Close of the file the
preview endpoint reads. Discard its error explicitly, as the other
studio file handlers do.

* Explain the document read of the text index to gosec

gosec reported the read of a stored document text as a file inclusion
through a variable. The path is the configured index directory joined
with a hash that documentPath refuses when it holds a path separator
or a dot, so it cannot leave the documents folder.

* Build the darwin/arm64 add-on packages on macos-15

GitHub retires the macos-14 runner image on 2026-11-02 and runs
scheduled brownouts until then: every darwin/arm64 package job failed
at once with the brownout notice. macos-15 is the Apple Silicon image
that replaces it.

* Expect the chat's own load_skill tool in the agent prompt spec

The spec that keeps the agent engine's text out of the prompt also
required that no load_skill tool or mention reach the model. Chats now
offer their own load_skill tool and the skills index tells the model to
call it, so the spec failed. Keep the checks on the engine's own skill
and command text, and check that the chat's tool is offered.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Read the user's scripted tool call in the mock model

The chat prompt now names the chat's work folder, and the folder name
comes from the chat title, which holds a cut copy of the user message.
The mock model read the first ADDON_TOOL_CALL marker, the cut one in the
system prompt, and called the tool with broken arguments over and over.
Read the last marker, the one of the user message.

* Keep the phone targets of the inbox at 44 pixels in every build

On a phone the inbox close button and the item actions must be 44
pixels wide. Their rule had the same weight as the kit's .dk-btn
min-width, so the order of the stylesheets decided. The single-chunk
coverage build puts the kit later and the close button shrank to 28
pixels. Scope both rules to their container so they win in any order.

* Let the about-you spec accept the sidebar's own seen date

When the user has pages, the sidebar writes the date of its New label
under seen.new in user.json. In the whole suite other specs make pages
first, so the saved record held that date as well and the exact
comparison failed. Check that the uploaded seen record is kept.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Give the typed-while-working chat spec time for two turns

The spec waits up to 30 seconds for each step, but two turns of the
mock model with its tool steps take about 28 seconds on their own, so
the default 30 second test limit cut it under load. Set its limit to
90 seconds.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Scope the foundation spec's state query to the sheet header

The details pane now repeats the observed state under Health, so a
role query for "State: Off" inside the add-on sheet matched two
elements and failed in strict mode. The administrator-manages spec,
and the two specs after it, did not run.

Query the chip in the header (.ad-pane__meta), which is the state the
administrator sees next to the add-on's name, through one helper used
for all three assertions.

* Wait for the page to read each apps answer in the registry polling spec

The spec moved the page clock as soon as the stand-in saw a request.
The registry sets its next timer only after it reads the answer, so on
a slow runner the clock could pass the due time of a timer that did not
exist yet, and the next read never came. With the CPU throttled ten
times, the old spec failed in 3 of 3 runs.

The spec now counts the answers the page has read and lets queued work
finish before it moves the clock. It pauses the clock before it leaves
the page, and it tries the pause again when a slow machine passed the
target time. The assertions do not change: one read at once, one read
per interval and no faster, and no read after the disable.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Close the egress test listener only after it accepts

The dial helper of the egress proxy specs closed its listener when it
returned, while the goroutine that accepts the connection could still
be waiting to run. On a loaded runner the listener sometimes closed
first. The kernel then reset the connection that was still in the
accept queue, the spec's write consumed the reset error, which the
spec ignores, and the next read saw EOF. The spec failed with
"unexpected EOF" before the proxy got the request.

Wait for Accept to return before the listener closes, then start the
proxy handler on the accepted connection.

* Run host commands in a shell that reads no startup file

The host backend promises a fixed environment, but bash -lc reads
/etc/profile and the user's dotfiles. On macOS path_helper rewrote PATH
there, so the command did not get the fixed PATH. Turn the login shell
into 'bash --noprofile --norc -c' in the host backend only, and make the
test assert the exact fixed PATH.

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

* Answer the command card in the platform turns and 400 a bad answer

The tool-list spec of the platform suite timed out: without accounts
the one person is an administrator, so the chat has the built-in bash
in ask mode. The tool list is sorted and bash is first, and the mock
model calls the first tool, so every turn waited five minutes for a
yes on the command card. The turn helper now refuses each card it
sees, as a person who clicks deny, and the turn goes on to its step
limit. bash stays in the checked list.

An administrator who posts a consent with no card id or an unknown
decision got 403 "only an administrator can allow commands". That is
a bad request, not a refusal: it now answers 400, as the swagger
already says, and the route check for administrators passes.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Let a chat switch off its shell, file, media, collection and sub-agent tools

The Tools menu of a chat switched only three groups of built-in tools:
web, saved_agents and triggers. A person could not keep a chat away
from the shell, the files, the helper models, the collections or the
sub-agents.

Add five groups to the registry of built-in tools, all on until the
chat switches them off:

- shell: bash, whoever serves it. The Sandbox add-on's bash and the
  built-in bash on this machine both go, and the add-on list reports
  commands switched_off. The row stays listed when nothing can run
  commands, not usable, with the reason.
- files: the file tools and read_document.
- media: describe_image and transcribe_audio.
- collections: list_collections and search_collection, usable only
  for a user with the collections feature.
- subagents: spawn_agent. list_agents and /agent follow it.

The registry gets two flags. External marks a tool that its own code
builds for the turn (with the wrappers it needs); the registry lists it
in its group and Hidden tells the builder what the chat switched off.
Covers makes a group's switch also hide the add-on tool that replaces
the built-in one. PUT .../builtins, the panel, the draft list and the
fallbacks use the existing group code.

A sub-agent follows the switches of its parent chat. The turn prompt
is built from the final tool list: no file tool names, no skill
writing hint, no work folder and no rules pointer when the chat cannot
use files, no describe_image when the helper is off, and a commands
block that says the person switched commands off.

* Queue the edited chat message after the first step starts

The spec queued its message as soon as the chat showed a busy state.
The turn is busy before its first model request starts, and that
request takes every message that waits. With the chat's tools and
skills, the first request now starts a few hundred milliseconds after
the turn, so the message went with it, and the edit got 409 "already
delivered" (5 of 6 local runs).

Wait until the answer streams, as the Stop spec does: the request is
running then, and the queued message waits for the next step.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Give the reload chat spec a turn that outlasts the reload

The spec reloaded the page during a 3 second turn and expected the
page to show the turn still running. A reload of the coverage build
on a busy runner takes 4 to 5 seconds (measured with a 6x CPU
throttle), so the turn had ended before the page could show it. With
the 30 second turn the page always showed it running, so the resumed
state works and only the window was short.

Add MOCK_LONG_STREAM_MEDIUM to the mock model, a turn of about 10
seconds, and use it in the spec with a 60 second limit.

* Wait for the chat page after the Home hand-off in the specs

Send on Home changes the address inside a view transition, and the
chat page mounts about 35 ms later. Specs that waited only for the
address acted on Home in between:

- The title spec pressed Ctrl+K at once, because the server names a
  chat after its first message as it arrives, so the title poll ends
  at once too. The key reached the page before the chat page listened,
  and the menu did not open (3 of 3 presses at 0 ms failed, all at
  300 ms and later passed).
- The Back spec went back before the chat page was drawn. Home was
  never closed, so its draft of the sent message stayed in the box.

startChat now waits for the chat page, the title spec for the title
in the chat header, and the Back spec for the chat page before Back.

* Accept a resolved user.json conflict in the quiet page specs

The sidebar notes in the seen record of user.json the first day it
labels Pages as new, and saves it from the version it read. All specs
share the test server's one user, so tabs of other workers save the
same record at the same time: one gets 409 and useSeen reads the file
again and saves once more. Three tabs that open /app/files at once
give 200, 409, 200. The quiet check of the shell pages counted the
409 as a problem.

Ignore a 409 on PUT /api/chats/wellknown/user in that check.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Check only the spec's own items in the Trash after the reload

After Empty Trash and a reload, the spec expected the whole Trash to
be empty. The Trash belongs to the test server's one user, and specs
of other workers move files to it meanwhile, so CI saw "In the Trash:
3 files, 356 B." after the reload.

The checks right after Empty Trash stay. After the reload, check that
the server's Trash, the Trash tab and Files do not hold the spec's
items, once each list has loaded.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Show the new tool groups in the chat Tools menu

The Tools menu lists the groups of built-in tools that the server
sends. The five new ones need words and an order, and the shell row
needs to say who runs the commands.

Name the groups in all nine locales (Run commands, Your files, Images
and audio, Collections, Sub-agents) and order the rows by what they
reach: the shell and the files first, the triggers last. The shell row
carries a chip with the provider (Sandbox or This machine) and a line
under it that says the commands run isolated, or a warning when they
run on this machine. When nothing can run commands the row is disabled
with the words of the commands notice. A switched-off sub-agents group
also turns /agent off in the composer.

The specs cover the rows, the off and on requests, the bulk actions,
the provider chip, the disabled reasons, the draft on Home and a real
server round trip.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Document the groups of built-in tools a chat can switch off

The Tools menu section described only the web, triggers and saved
agents groups. List every group with its tools, say which groups the
server may leave out and why a row can be not usable, how Run commands
covers both providers, what the model is told when a group is off, and
that a sub-agent follows its parent's switches.

* Fix the host command consent spec for the 400 contract

The consent route answers 400 for a body without a card id or with a
decision other than once or deny, whoever asks. The spec still expected
403 for always from an administrator. Cover the malformed answers for
an administrator and a user, each in their own chat, keep another
user's chat at 404, and say it in the chats guide.

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

* Find the web tool group by name in the route spec

The tools panel lists the shell group before the web group, so the
spec that read the first entry compared the wrong group. Look the
group up by name, which does not depend on the registry order.

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

* Give Skills its own sidebar item

Skills work in every chat, but the sidebar filed the page under Agents
and only agent skill chips linked to it. Add a Skills item right after
Memory, show it in the legacy list too, and stop lighting up Agents on
the skills pages.

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

* Add Manage skills to the skills picker and a /skills command

The picker now ends with a Manage skills link, and /skills opens the
Skills page from the composer on Home and in a chat. The picker keeps
the height of its status line, so a refused change does not move the
rows. Words are added in all nine locales.

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

* Say on the Skills page that every chat can use skills

The page subtitle named only agents as users of skills. Say that all
chats use them, translate it, and document where to manage skills: the
sidebar item, the picker link and /skills.

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

* Keep Home on screen while its widgets load their strings

A Home widget reads the pages strings, and i18next loads a namespace
the first time a component asks for it, by suspending. Home had no
Suspense boundary of its own, so the route's boundary hid all of Home
(display: none) and showed the route fallback until the strings came.

A widget shows only after home.json is read, so this happened after
the composer was already drawn. Focus given to the composer in that
window went nowhere, and a key typed then was lost. The slash menu
spec failed in CI this way when another spec had written widgets to
the shared home.json: the box was empty and the body had the focus.
With widgets in home.json the composer was hidden right after it
appeared on 5 of 5 loads, and the spec failed 1 or 2 times in 5.

The examples and the widgets now have their own boundary with no
fallback, so only they wait. A new spec holds the pages strings while
it types in the composer; it fails without the change (the composer
never takes the focus) and passes with it.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Send the stubbed file change after the Files page read the folder

The change feed spec answered the first stream request with the change
at once. The app shell (the appearance sync) opens the shared stream
when the app starts, before the Files page chunk has loaded, so on a
slow runner the change reached a tab where nobody watched the folder
yet and was dropped. The page then never read the folder again, and
the spec failed on all three CI attempts. A CPU throttle of 8 makes it
fail 3 of 3 times locally.

On a real server the page's own first read would already show such a
change. The stub now holds the change until the page has read the
folder; the page subscribes in the same commit as that read, so the
change arrives with a subscriber in place. The resume check is kept.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Give the oversized 3D input as a sparse file, not a buffer

The spec built a 32 MiB buffer and passed it to setInputFiles.
Playwright sends a buffer to the browser over the protocol: that step
alone took 5.5 s on an idle machine, and on the loaded CI runner the
test hit the 30 s timeout on all three attempts.

It now writes a sparse file of the same size to the test output folder
and passes its path, which the local browser opens as is. The page
still checks the size before it reads the file, so the toast and the
no-request assertion are unchanged. The step takes milliseconds.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Check the tool line, not the tool name, in the tool call journey

The spec looked for /list_files/ in the transcript. The user's own
message holds that name, so the check could pass before any tool ran.
Once the model's call streamed, a second element matched, and the
strict locator failed (2 matches on the first attempt, 5 on the
retry).

It now waits for the activity line that the tool run adds ("Listed
/"), which only shows after the tool ran.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Measure the proposal card and its neighbours in one frame

The layout spec read the boxes of the message text, the card and the
message actions with three boundingBox calls. They are viewport
positions taken in three frames, and the transcript scrolls to its end
while the card fills in. On the phone the actions were read after a
scroll and came out 156 px above the bottom of the card.

The three boxes now come from one page.evaluate, so they are read in
the same frame. The order assertions are unchanged.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Read the page fixture time when the page is served

The task board fixture of the discovery and Pages specs set its
change time once, when the file loaded. A worker loads it once and
keeps running specs, so a spec that ran two minutes later read
"Changed 2 minutes ago by the assistant" where it expects "just now".

The change time is now a getter, read when the fixture is serialized
into a response.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Check a background process without /proc in the host test

The alive helper read /proc/<pid>/stat, which macOS does not have, so it
reported every process as dead and the spec failed there with "did not
survive the suspend". Use signal 0 for existence and ps (or /proc where
present) to tell a zombie from a live process.

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

* Keep the composer switch menus at their own height

The base rule of the dropdown menu caps it at 320px and lets it scroll.
The switch menus set their own height with a rule of the same weight in a
lazy sheet, so which one won depended on the order the sheets loaded in.
When the base rule won, the picker showed a few rows, and a click on a row
at the edge of the list scrolled the list by a few pixels.

Double the class on the switch menu rules so they win in any order, and
add a test that loads the base rule last.

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

* Show what applies in the chat Network switch

The Network row highlighted the choice stored with the chat, so a
chat that asked for All public sites under an administrator limit of
Off showed All highlighted although it was disabled and not in effect.

Highlight the effective choice, the lower of the chat's choice and the
limit, which the server already computes. When the chat asks for more
than the limit, say so in one line instead of highlighting it. Add a
line that the limit is set by the administrator, and tell the host
network line that limits need the Sandbox add-on.

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

* Design the host components that add-ons reference

The host UI names the Sandbox and the Web add-ons to place their server
settings, and the chat's Network row links to the global Settings page.
Describe a closed registry of host components that an add-on references
by ID in its manifest, entitled by the existing host operation grants
and tool shadows, so the controls live on the add-on's own page and a
second add-on can reuse them with no host change.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Let an add-on ask for host controls in its manifest

An add-on had no way to say that a host-owned control belongs on its
page, so the host UI placed those controls by add-on name. Add
ui.controls, a list of IDs from a closed registry of host controls:
network-policy (the network of the commands an add-on runs) and
tool-providers (the rows of the built-in tools it replaces).

The host decides which controls it draws: EntitledControls keeps a
control only when the add-on holds its host operation grant and
replaces its built-in tool. The field is optional, so every existing
manifest stays valid.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* List the host controls an add-on is entitled to

The apps list now carries ui.controls with the host controls the
manifest declares and the host setting entitles the add-on to: the
manager passes each add-on's host operation grants to the list.

GET /api/chats/{id}/egress gains addon, the add-on that runs the chat's
commands when it has the network-policy control, so the chat can draw
its Network row from that add-on and link to its settings. applies and
applies_reason keep their meaning: the policy holds with or without the
control. The model and the 400 error no longer send an administrator to
Settings > Tools for the limit.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Draw the host controls on the add-on's own page

The host UI placed the Sandbox network and the tool rows by add-on name
(SERVER_SETTINGS), showed a read-only summary on the add-on's Settings
tab, and linked the chat's Network row to the global Settings page.

Add a registry of host controls keyed by the IDs of the contract. The
Settings tab of an add-on draws, below its own sections, the controls
the apps list gives it, in one form with the pending bar of the
Settings page: network-policy reuses the network section and its
setting rows, tool-providers the rows of the built-in tools the add-on
replaces. The chat draws its Network row only when the server names an
add-on with network-policy, and the administrator link opens that
add-on's tab. The row itself is unchanged.

The Settings page keeps the settings of features that exist without an
add-on, points to the add-on where one serves them, and no longer
lists the network settings. Its old address opens the add-on's tab.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Ask for the host controls in the Sandbox and Web manifests

The Sandbox asks for network-policy and tool-providers, so the network
of its commands and the bash row are drawn on its own Settings tab and
its chats get the Network row. The Web add-on asks for tool-providers
only: it holds no egress grant. The manifest tests check that the
default grants entitle each add-on to what it asks for.

The proxy's refusal now sends the model to the Sandbox Settings tab
instead of Settings > Tools.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Keep the button of the network pointer row at its size

The row used the wide layout of the tool rows, so its Open settings
button stretched across the page. Use the plain setting row, which
puts the button on the right like the other controls.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5

* Fix the add-on contract inventory and the apps Swagger fixture

The contracts case inventory missed the six host control specs, so
verify.sh rejected the Ginkgo report. List them.

The Swagger spec test never saw `controls` in the emitted UIView JSON
because its fixture left the omitempty field empty. Set it there.

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

* Add the host controls spec to the apps inventory

The apps suite ran one more spec than scripts/addons/suites.json
listed, so verify.sh rejected the apps report as an inventory
mismatch. List the new spec in the report inventory and in the
suite's aggregate case list. Every other Ginkgo suite was re-run
and matches its inventory.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto c60a2e47d6 feat(backends): timestral.cpp forecast backend and /v1/forecast API (#12885)
* feat(grpc): add a Forecast RPC for time-series models

Add Forecast to the backend service with columnar request and response
messages: flat row-major arrays, NaN for missing values, and one message
per series so a caller can send series of different shapes in one call.
The response keeps the request order.

Wire the RPC through the server, client, embedded client, connection
evicting client, in-flight tracking client and the base backend, which
answers unimplemented. core/backend gains a Forecast helper that stamps
the model identity and records a trace, like the other single-purpose
RPCs.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(config): add the forecast usecase

FLAG_FORECAST marks a model as a time-series forecaster. The timestral-cpp
backend declares it as its default usecase, so a config with that backend
needs no extra lines. The backend is also listed as a non-text backend, so
a forecast model is never offered as a chat model. It shows up in the
gallery filter and in the capability list.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(api): add POST /v1/forecast

Take one or more numeric series and return quantile trajectories for the
next prediction_length steps. Targets are [variates][steps] or a flat
array for one variate; JSON null marks a missing value. Past and known
covariates and categorical codes are checked for length before the
backend sees them. Quantiles default to 0.1, 0.5 and 0.9 in the backend.

The route is gated by a new default-on forecast API feature. The endpoint
is listed in the swagger spec, the /api/instructions index, the UI model
filter and the capability symbols.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(backends): add the timestral-cpp forecast backend

Wrap the timestral.cpp C ABI with purego, the way the other ggml
backends do: libtimestral is built from a pinned commit with ggml
embedded, and the Go binary loads it at start.

Forecast validates the counts against the array lengths, groups the
series by shape, makes one library call per group and puts the results
back in the order the caller sent them. Quantiles default to 0.1, 0.5
and 0.9, and a level the model does not have is refused with the list of
valid ones. A mutex guards the handle because the library is not
reentrant. Request size is bounded by two model options.

The unit specs use a fake library. The integration specs and a gRPC
spec run against the 5M F32 model that test.sh downloads and checks
against a fixed SHA-256.

* build(backends): register timestral-cpp in the build and the library

Add the CPU image to the backend matrix for amd64 and arm64, plus an
Apple silicon entry that is not built or tested yet. The image has no GPU
keys because the engine runs on the CPU only. Wire the make targets, the
path filter and the dependency bump bot.

The library entries were generated with backendcatalog. The images are
not published yet, so the release entries are unpinned until a
maintainer runs --repin. The gallery reader test now counts the names in
the library instead of a fixed number, so adding a backend does not
break it.

* feat(gallery): add the Timestral forecast models

Add Timestral 5M, 28M, 123M and 209M as F32 entries, each with its F16
build as a variant. Q8_0 and the K-quants are left out until the quality
question is settled. Each entry runs on the timestral-cpp backend, on
the CPU only.

The weights use Mistral's Modified MIT licence, which bars use by
companies above a monthly revenue threshold. The first paragraph after
the summary says so, the licence file is installed next to the weights,
and the revenue-restricted-license tag makes the entries filterable.

The memory each build needs has not been measured, so no size is set.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto e45dc5e9f7 feat(addons): installable add-ons foundation and the Tables add-on (#12702)
* feat(addons): add the add-on runtime, navigation and first-party add-ons

Add the add-on runtime to LocalAI: manifests, the host operation broker,
admin gating by account role, the add-on UI bundle builder and the SDK
for add-on pages. Move the navigation to Chat, Models, Add-ons and
Settings, with pinned add-ons in the sidebar and an Add-ons drawer.

Ship the first-party add-ons (voice, face, fine-tuning, quantization) as
packages for linux/amd64, linux/arm64 and darwin/arm64. Intel macOS
(darwin/amd64) is enabled in the platform files.

Squashed from the review branch. The tree is unchanged; the pre-squash
history is kept on a local backup branch.

not only the session cookie, because the global CSRF check lets
same-site requests through.

* feat(addons): run the add-on owner in the normal binary

The owner was only enabled when an embedding host set the add-on config,
so a normal run answered every add-on request as unavailable.

Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode
(default named-user, or local-owner; anything else stops startup).
The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the
carrier uses loopback keys made at each start and kept in memory.
--addons-enabled=false turns the owner off completely.

Named-user mode needs the account database. With authentication off
the owner stays off and a warning says how to use local-owner.

* fix(addons): keep the loopback owner address stable across restarts

The single-node loopback transport took a new ephemeral port at each
start. The owner stores its address in its identity file and refuses to
start when the address differs, so every start after the first failed
with "invalid addon owner configuration".

Choose the port once, keep it in the add-on state root (loopback-port,
mode 0600) and reuse it. If the port is taken at a later start, stop
with an error that names the port and --addons-enabled=false, because
another port would break the identity check. The keys and certificate
stay in memory.

* feat(addons): let add-on pages keep the host modules they were written against

A page written for the web UI imports React, the router, i18next and a
few shared components. The add-on builder refuses a bundle that holds a
host file, so moving such a page into an add-on meant rewriting it.

Add a compat mode to the shared builder. It answers those imports from a
directory of stand-ins that read the SDK, bundles the dynamic import of
the page code into the one output file, and collects the style sheets the
page imports. A relative import that is not in the add-on's own source
resolves to the file at the same path under the compat directory.

Widen the SDK for these pages, without a version change: more host
components (spinner, modal, lightbox, model picker) and hooks (models,
resources, voice profiles, operations, MCP client), a style on icons,
the icon names the pages draw, sdk.navigation.openApp to open a page of
the app (only addresses under /app, and the way back as the only state)
and sdk.portal. The shell passes the query string to the page.

The stand-ins cover the router (the tab in the path, the model in the
query), the translator over the host locale files, the core API calls
through sdk.core.fetch, and byte copies of the pure helpers, with tests
that keep the copies equal to the originals.

* feat(addons): ship Studio and Talk as add-ons instead of built-in pages

Studio and Talk were compiled into the web bundle and always listed in
the Add-ons drawer. They are add-ons now, like Voice, Face, fine-tuning
and quantization: a person installs and removes them, the drawer lists
them only while they are installed, and they are packaged the same way.

Move the pages, their components, hooks and helpers into addons/studio
and addons/talk. Each has a manifest, a UI bundle, a release platform
matrix and a catalog template, and is built by the compat mode of the
shared builder. The core API stays where it is: the pages call it with
the signed-in person's session. The history keeps its browser storage
keys. The unit tests of the moved helpers move with them.

In the core, drop the two pages, the Create group of the sidebar (Chat
joins Home and Models in the old layout), the built-in catalog entries
(the catalog is empty) and the talk locale namespace. The old addresses
(/app/studio, /app/talk and the generator links) redirect to the add-on
pages, with the model as ?model=. The Home /studio command is offered
only while the Studio add-on is installed and opens it.

The release workflow and its tests now list seven add-ons.

* test(ui): run the Studio and Talk specs against the add-on bundles

The pages are add-ons now, so a spec that draws one installs the real
built bundle first: the apps list names it and its module and style
sheet are served from the build output, the way the add-on owner serves
them. studio-addon.js holds that helper, and the Studio and Talk
fixtures call it.

Update the specs for the new addresses (/app/addons/studio/studio, the
model as ?model=), the session permission the add-on route needs, the
legacy redirects, the Home /studio command that appears only while the
add-on is installed, and the sidebar without a Create group.

Add specs for the add-ons themselves: every tab draws with no script
error, the shell titles the page once, the old addresses say so when the
add-on is not installed, a button of the page reaches a core page with
the way back, and the drawer lists both only after they are installed.

* fix(ui): centre the icon of a built-in tile in its icon box

The drawer drew the icon of a built-in tile (Studio's palette was one)
in a bare 40px box. Only the placeholder box was laid out as a centred
grid with the 20px size, so the real icon sat in the top-left corner at
the size of the page text.

On the first start, when the owner has no sources.json, register the

dispatches a popstate to set the target node, then waits for a button
named Reinstall and clicks it. Until React renders the targeted page,
the page still draws the generic Reinstall button. It is enabled and has
the same name, so the wait passed on it, the click started a global
install, and no node install request was sent. The poll on the install
count timed out with the confirm dialog still open.

With the CPU throttled to 8x, the spec failed on 20 of 20 runs, and the
button it clicked had the title "Reinstall". The spec now waits for the
button titled "Reinstall on <node>". With the throttle it passes 30 of
30 runs. The assertions are unchanged.

* test(ui): give the Studio hand-off spec a budget for the cold bundle load

The "a result made through a hand-off records which result it came from"
spec opens the Studio add-on straight from an address, twice. Each is a
cold load: the page shows "Loading" until the add-on module has run, and
the next assertion had the default five seconds. The load takes about
two seconds on an idle run and seven to ten under CPU load, so the spec
failed on a loaded machine with the hand-off note not yet drawn.

With the CPU throttled to 6x and eight busy loops running, it failed on
21 of 30 runs. The first assertion after each load now waits up to 20
seconds, and the spec then passed 30 of 30 under the same load. The
assertions are unchanged.

* fix(addons): carry the identity page styles in the Face add-on

The Face page is drawn with the shared identity views, but its style sheet
held only the clip and error rules. The page, card, model list, known-faces
table, enrol sheet and distance scale classes had no rules. They looked
right only when the host had already loaded the style sheet of its own
Faces page, which a visit through the add-on drawer does not do. Opened
that way, the cards had no gap, the model list showed bullets, and the
install buttons ran into the names.

The Face sheet now holds the same identity rules as the core sheet, so the
page looks the same whichever way it is opened.

A pinned app now shows as an indented child of the Apps entry, with its icon and title, in pin order. Show all stays the last child. The pins come from GET /api/addons/pins through the navigation context, and the apps from the add-on registry, which the drawer feeds on every list read, so the links follow the drawer.

* test(ui): stop the backend redirect test racing the installed list

The test reads the redirected URL right after the path changes. The
Backends page then loads the installed list and drops a selected backend

* feat(addons): add a kind to library entries and read unknown kinds tolerantly

A library entry now has an optional kind: addon (the default when it is
absent), backend or model. Every index written before kinds existed stays
valid and its entries are add-ons.

A reader keeps the entries of the kinds it knows and skips the others
without reading their fields, so a newer kind never makes an older host
refuse the whole index. The refresh result and the library state report
how many entries were skipped and of which kinds, and the refresh logs a
warning. A kind that is not a plain kind name still makes the index
malformed. Search lists add-ons unless the caller asks for a kind, and
Resolve returns add-ons only, so an add-on install cannot be pointed at
a backend image.

A library policy may name the signer with an anchored identityRegex
instead of an exact identity, so builds from master and from tags both
verify. An add-on install refuses a policy that carries one.

* feat(backends): install a backend from a library entry

A library can now list backends. An entry of kind backend names the
image of the backend gallery by digest, and POST /backends/library/install
installs it on the local node. The gallery stays the source of truth and
its install path is the one used: the library resolves the entry, takes
the signature policy from the library, pins the image by digest and calls
the same install as the gallery. Installing a name that came from a
gallery, another library or by hand is refused and changes nothing.

The signature policy of a backend library names the signer with an
anchored identityRegex, so images signed by the merge workflow on master
and on tags both verify. A pattern that is not anchored is refused.

An install is bounded by a size limit per kind: add-ons keep 512 MiB and
a backend image defaults to 8 GiB, set with --addons-backend-max-bytes.
The limit reads the manifest after the signature check and before any
layer is fetched. The metadata of an installed backend records the
library it came from.

scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog renders entries from
backend/index.yaml and pins them against the registry. The pilot is the
CPU build of local-store, in gallery/backends/index.yaml. The library is
registered on the first start only with --addons-backend-library, which
is off by default.

* feat(ui): show the kind of library entries and install backends from them

The Browse tab lists the entries of every kind this host reads and marks
each one as an add-on or a backend. A backend installs through the
backend route and not through the add-on lifecycle: the confirmation
says that the backend gallery is not changed and that a backend runs
native code, and a refusal of the host, such as a name installed from
another origin, is shown with its own reason. The details give the kind,
the alias and the signer pattern.

The library editor can name the signer with a pattern. Without this a
save would drop the pattern of a backend library. The Libraries tab
reports the entries a refresh skipped because their kind is not read.

* feat(ui): add an add-ons control to the chat header

Add-on tools were on or off only through the /addons command, with a toast
and no state a person could see. The chat header now has an Add-ons button
in the style of the MCP dropdown. It lists each running add-on that ships
tools with a switch, and a badge shows how many are on.

The chat keeps the ids that are on (addonToolIds) next to the older
boolean, and both are saved with the chat. A chat that has only the boolean
means every add-on. The request sends addon_tools alone when every add-on is
on, and adds addon_tool_ids when only some are. /addons turns all on or all
off and uses the same state.

narrows that to some add-ons. The list counts only with the opt-in, and a
list that names nothing offers no tool rather than all of them.

The executor drops the tools of add-ons that are not listed and refuses a
call to one as an unknown tool, so a model cannot reach a tool the person
turned off. Both keys are consumed so they do not reach the backend.

* feat(addons): upgrade add-ons on their own when the setting is on

A new auto_upgrade_addons setting (flag LOCALAI_AUTO_UPGRADE_ADDONS,
default off) lets the owner upgrade an installed add-on when its library
lists a newer version. It follows the backend setting: a startup flag, a
runtime setting, and the same schedule as the backend update check (a
first pass shortly after start, then every six hours).

Each pass fetches the library of every installed add-on, and for each
available update builds the same pinned upgrade command an administrator
sends and runs it through the same lifecycle path. The channel rules, the
signer identity, the digest checks, the SDK compatibility check and the
backup before the upgrade all apply unchanged. The only difference is the
gate: the owner acts on its own setting, so no administrator is asked.
A refused or failed upgrade changes nothing and is logged; a candidate
that failed is not retried until the library lists another digest.

With the setting off, nothing runs and upgrades stay manual.

nothing changes, and a change of the setting at run time takes effect on
the next pass. The manager specs show the upgrade goes through the same
pinned path as the manual one, and that a corrupted package, a failed
signature policy, an incompatible release, a missing update checker and
a caller who is not an administrator each leave the installed version in
place. The new specs are added to the lifecycle case inventory.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto dce91ba7aa fix(backends): prefer installed development builds (#12782)
* fix(ci): capture and surface ginkgo errors in run-coverage.sh

The coverage script ran ginkgo per test root with `|| fail=1`, which
swallowed the exit code. Combined with `make --output-sync=target`,
which buffers all output and flushes at the end, the actual ginkgo
error was invisible in interleaved CI logs. Every test suite passed
but the script still exited 1, and the error message was buried in
22 000 lines of buffered output.

Each ginkgo invocation now captures combined stdout+stderr to a
per-root log file. On failure the last 80 lines are printed to
stderr so the error is visible in the CI log. On success the log is
replayed to stdout so test output remains visible.

The build flags (--tags, --coverpkg) are quoted correctly so values
containing spaces (e.g. --tags="debug auth") are preserved through
eval.

36307005a9 feat(chat-history): server-side chat history with tombstones (follow-up to #9902) (#12663)
* feat(schema): add Conversation schema for chat history (#9432)

Persist WebUI chat conversations server-side so browser refresh, private
windows, or device changes preserve user history (issue #9432). This
commit adds the on-disk representation:

- Conversation holds id, name, model, opaque history, MCP / sampling
  settings, and timestamps.
- ConversationsFile is the per-user list serialised to JSON.

History is stored as json.RawMessage so the server stays agnostic to
React message shapes (user / assistant / thinking / tool_call /
tool_result mixed with text / image_url / audio_url / file attachments).

* feat(chathistory): add file-based per-user conversation store (#9432)

File-backed persister for chat history. Each user's conversations live
under {baseDir}/{userID}/conversations.json (anonymous/ when auth is
disabled).

Design choices:
- In-memory cache backed by sync.Mutex so concurrent saves don't
  interleave writes.
- Atomic write via tmp file + os.Rename so a crash mid-save never
  leaves a corrupted history.
- ID validation regex blocks path-traversal payloads at the store
  boundary, in addition to the auth context constraint.

Tests cover round-trip persistence across instances, user isolation,
unsafe-ID rejection, bulk replace migration, and the anonymous fallback
path.

* feat(api): expose chat conversation CRUD endpoints (#9432)

Wire the chathistory store into the HTTP layer. New endpoints under
/api/conversations:

- GET    /api/conversations        list
- POST   /api/conversations        upsert (id in body)
- DELETE /api/conversations        delete all
- PUT    /api/conversations/bulk   replace entire set (localStorage migration)
- GET    /api/conversations/:id    fetch one
- PUT    /api/conversations/:id    upsert (id in path; path id wins over body)
- DELETE /api/conversations/:id    delete one

All endpoints scope queries to the authenticated user via getUserID(c)
- callers cannot impersonate other users by passing a user_id in the
body. The endpoints are gated behind the new chat_history feature
permission (default ON in APIFeatures), registered through the existing
RouteFeatureRegistry so the unified feature middleware picks them up
automatically.

Application.ChatHistoryStore() returns nil when DisableWebUI is set or
no persistence path is configured, in which case route registration is
skipped entirely rather than registering handlers that always 503.

Also adds the chat-history instruction entry and Swagger tag so the
endpoint surfaces in /api/instructions and /swagger.

* feat(react-ui): sync chat history to server with localStorage fallback (#9432)

useChat now probes /api/conversations on mount. When the endpoint
responds 200, the server becomes the authoritative source: the hook
merges remote conversations into local state and pushes per-chat PUT
updates on each debounced save. When the endpoint 404s - older LocalAI
deploys or the feature disabled - the hook silently keeps the old
localStorage-only behaviour, so the change is backward-compatible.

Migration: when the server is reachable but empty and the browser has
local conversations with history, the hook fires a single
PUT /api/conversations/bulk to seed the server. The atomic bulk endpoint
avoids partial-upload states where a retry would skip already-uploaded
entries.

Delete operations propagate to the server when it's available; failures
are silently swallowed so the local UI stays responsive on transient
network errors.

* test(chathistory): rewrite tests in Ginkgo/Gomega

The initial test file used the stdlib testing package (t.Fatalf /
t.Errorf), which is forbidden by the forbidigo linter rule in
.golangci.yml — LocalAI mandates Ginkgo/Gomega for all Go tests (see
.agents/coding-style.md).

Restructured the same six scenarios into Describe / Context / It blocks,
with a chathistory_suite_test.go bootstrap that registers the Ginkgo
fail handler. Test coverage is unchanged: basic CRUD round-trip, cross-
instance persistence, user isolation, unsafe ID rejection (now via
DescribeTable), bulk replace overwrite, and the anonymous fallback
path.

* refactor(chathistory): switch store to GORM-backed authDB

Addresses mudler's review on #9902. Chat history was the only per-user
state in LocalAI sitting in a separate filesystem store instead of the
shared GORM database — AgentStore and JobStore both live there. Move
it onto Application.authDB so per-user state stays in one place.

* ConversationRecord (GORM model) with composite primary key
  (user_id, conv_id) — React mints IDs locally with no global
  coordination so per-user uniqueness is the natural shape.
* Store.New(db *gorm.DB) replaces Store.New(baseDir string).
  Save / Get / List / Delete / DeleteAll / ReplaceAll keep their
  signatures so HTTP handlers and the React UI are untouched.
* ReplaceAll runs in a transaction with an Unscoped() pre-clear so a
  future retention sweep cannot resurrect a stale ID on re-upload.
* gorm.DeletedAt in the schema means a future retention pruner is a
  one-line query — addresses the second half of the review (unbounded
  in-memory map). The map is gone: reads go straight to the DB.

Trade-off worth flagging in the PR reply: chat history persistence
now requires auth.Enabled = true (that's what initialises
Application.authDB). With auth disabled the React UI transparently
falls back to localStorage, the same path the original PR took on
404. Consistent with AgentStore / JobStore; if a "chat history
always on" mode is preferred we can pull DB init out of auth.InitDB
into a shared helper.

* refactor(schema): drop now-unused ConversationsFile envelope

ConversationsFile was the JSON wrapper for the old file-based chat
history store — a {Conversations: [...], UpdatedAt: ...} pair
serialised to disk under {baseDir}/{userID}/conversations.json. The
previous commit replaced that store with a GORM-backed one that
writes rows directly as ConversationRecord, leaving the envelope
without a consumer.

* test(chathistory): switch tests to testutil.SetupTestDB

Mirror the AgentStore test setup: spin up a PostgreSQL 16 container
via testutil.SetupTestDB(), construct a Store on top of it, exercise
CRUD round-trips. The previous file-based fixtures (TempDir,
filepath.Join checks) are no longer meaningful now that the store
talks GORM.

Tests are skipped on macOS (testcontainers needs Docker) and run on
CI, same as the other GORM-backed suites in the repo.

Also reframed two cases:
* "unsafe IDs" → "malformed IDs" — the DB-backed store doesn't care
  about path traversal, but idRegex still rejects whitespace /
  control characters so IDs stay safe in logs and HTTP responses.
* "anonymous user" no longer pins a directory path (no directory
  exists anymore); instead it checks the round-trip plus the
  per-user isolation guarantee.

Added a DeleteAll round-trip to cover the bulk-clear endpoint.

* test(chathistory): cover the conversation HTTP handlers

The seven /api/conversations handlers had no tests. Inject the
*chathistory.Store into the handlers instead of the whole Application and
move the route table into RegisterChatHistoryRoutes, so a spec can drive
the real registration and middleware chain (auth.Middleware plus the
chat_history feature gate) against an in-memory SQLite auth database.

The new specs cover 401 without credentials on every route, 403 when an
admin revoked chat_history, the CRUD round trip, path id over body id,
400 on malformed ids and bodies, per-user isolation, bulk replace and
delete-all, and that a nil store registers nothing (the UI then falls
back to localStorage).

The handlers' nil-store branches are gone: the routes are only
registered with a store, so those branches could never run.

* fix(chathistory): make deletions final with tombstones and versions

A conversation deleted on one device came back as soon as a client with
a stale copy wrote it again: Delete soft-deleted the row, and the next
Save went through GORM's upsert, which cleared deleted_at and resurrected
it for every device. The lookup that recovered CreatedAt also ran outside
any transaction, so concurrent writers raced on it.

The server is now authoritative over deletions:

* Delete turns the row into a tombstone: content dropped, deleted_at
  set. It is idempotent, and deleting an id the server has not seen yet
  still records a tombstone, so a delete that overtakes the UI's
  in-flight debounced save of the same chat still wins.
* Save runs in a transaction, refuses a tombstoned id with ErrDeleted
  (HTTP 410 Gone), and bumps the version with a single
  UPDATE ... SET version = version + 1 guarded by deleted_at IS NULL,
  so concurrent writers each count and a delete committed between the
  lookup and the write still wins. Two concurrent first writes of the
  same id retry once (ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, then update).
* Every row carries a server-assigned version (1 on the first save,
  +1 per write including the delete), returned to the client. A non-zero
  version tells the UI the server has seen a conversation, which is how
  it can tell a never-synced draft from a server-side deletion.
* GET /api/conversations returns the tombstones under "deleted".
* DeleteAll and ReplaceAll leave tombstones too. ReplaceAll no longer
  hard-deletes everything first; it upserts the payload, skips ids that
  were deleted (reported in "skipped"), and tombstones the rest.
* createdAt/updatedAt are stored as the client sends them (only zero
  values are stamped), so clients compare updatedAt from their own
  clocks rather than against the server's.

The store specs now run against PostgreSQL (testcontainers) and, with
the auth tag, SQLite through auth.InitDB, since both back the auth
database. The API specs cover a stale client reconnecting after a remote
deletion. Swagger is regenerated with swag v1.16.6 (json.RawMessage
fields get swaggertype), and the feature is documented, including that
it needs user auth.

* fix(react-ui): let the server decide which chats were deleted

mergeRemoteAndLocal kept every chat that was only in the browser and
let the server copy win for every shared id. A stale browser therefore
uploaded chats deleted on another device as if they were new drafts,
and a message sent while the list request was still in flight was
replaced by the older server copy and then lost from localStorage too.

The first load now reconciles with the server's tombstones and versions:

* a chat the server lists under "deleted" is dropped locally;
* a chat on both sides keeps the copy with the newer updatedAt, so an
  edit made during the load wins and is uploaded afterwards;
* a chat only in the browser is uploaded only if it was never synced
  (no version). With a version the server has seen it and no longer
  has it, so it is dropped instead of resurrected (this also keeps one
  account's cached chats out of another account on a shared browser);
* deletes made while the list is loading are queued and sent once it
  arrives.

Saves record the version the server returns, and a 410 on save drops
the chat locally instead of retrying it forever. Chats received from
the server count as already sent, so adopting a server copy no longer
echoes it straight back. The bulk localStorage migration is gone: it
replaced the whole server set from a possibly stale browser, and the
per-chat saves already upload never-synced drafts through the tombstone
check.

The Playwright spec drives each case against a stubbed
/api/conversations that follows the server contract.

* fix(chathistory): keep the LocalAI Assistant toggle on synced chats

master's createNewChat sets localaiAssistant, but serializeChat did not
send it and schema.Conversation had no field for it, so a chat with the
Assistant mode on came back with it off after a reload from the server
(and the local cache dropped it too). Add the field on both sides. The
other fields createNewChat sets were already covered; a handler spec now
round-trips all of them, and the UI spec checks the toggle on the way up
and in the local cache.

* fix(react-ui): scope chat cache per account, retry unconfirmed deletes

Two gaps in the client half of server-side chat history, both found in
review:

The browser cache was one shared localStorage key. A draft that one
account could not upload (a failed first save) stayed in it, and after
that account signed out and another signed in, the reconcile kept the
unversioned draft and the save pass uploaded it into the second
account. The cache now lives under localai_chats_data:<user id>, Chat
remounts its state when the account changes, and nothing is synced
without a signed-in account. The shared key is left for browser-only
use without auth and is not uploaded when signed in, because nothing
tells which account it belongs to.

Deletes were dropped locally and their DELETE errors swallowed; only
deletes made while the first list was loading were queued, and not
persisted. A delete made while the server was unreachable therefore
came back with the next list. Deletes (single, delete all, and deletes
on the Home page) are now kept as pending deletes in the account's
cache until the server confirms them, override the server list in the
reconcile, and are sent again on the next change, on the online event
and on the next load. While a delete-all is pending no conversation is
uploaded, so a chat started after it is not caught by it.

The Playwright specs replay both review scenarios (account switch after
a failed first save; delete and delete-all while offline) with
counter-checks that the same account keeps and uploads its own draft
and that a confirmed delete is neither re-sent nor resurrected.

* test(react-ui): make the chat history sync specs deterministic

- "clear all persists before navigation" opened a single chat, and the menu
  offers no Clear all for one chat, so the spec timed out in every run. It
  now opens two unsynced chats and checks that neither survives. Reverting
  03cd9c115's save in clearAllChats turns it red again.
- "a delete the server confirmed is not sent again" reopened the page as
  soon as the server had the request, before the page had the answer; the
  unconfirmed delete was then rightly sent again (4 of 5 runs). It now waits
  until the cache holds no pending delete.

reasoningEffort (#12700, #12716) is part of the chat the UI syncs since the
master merge, but schema.Conversation had no field for it, so the server
dropped it and a reload from the server reset the setting. Add the field.

The handler spec that round-trips every chat field now includes
reasoningEffort. A schema test reads serializeChat in useChat.js and fails
for any key the UI sends that schema.Conversation cannot hold, so the next
such drift shows up as a failing test rather than in review (it reports
reasoningEffort on the previous head). Swagger and docs updated.

e715af1def feat(llama-cpp): add slot prompt-cache save and restore API (#12730)
* feat(llama-cpp): add slot prompt-cache save and restore API

Add POST /v1/slots/save and POST /v1/slots/restore. They write one
llama.cpp slot's prompt cache (KV state) to a file and load it back,
so a client can warm a long system prompt in a few hundred
milliseconds instead of re-running prefill. Refs #12685.

The new SlotCache gRPC call posts the same slot save and restore
tasks the llama-server /slots endpoint uses. It is off unless the
model sets the new slot_save_path option, so existing models are not
affected. The /slots monitoring endpoint is not needed here: the
backend has no HTTP server.

The file name comes from the caller, so it is checked twice, in Go
and again in the backend. It must be one path component: no empty
name, "/", "\", "..", NUL, control characters or absolute path. The
resolved path, with symbolic links followed, must be a direct child
of slot_save_path. The routes are admin only because they write
files on the backend host.

* fix(llama-cpp): answer 501 when a backend lacks slot cache

A backend that does not implement the SlotCache rpc returns gRPC
UNIMPLEMENTED. The API passed that text through, so the client saw
"unknown method SlotCache". Map the status to a typed error in
core/backend and return 501 with a fixed message instead. Every other
error path is unchanged.

Make the SlotCache comments in backend.proto backend-neutral: slot is
the backend's state slot, filename must stay inside the save directory,
and an empty model_identity means the backend does not check it. Only
comments change, no field or name.

* fix(llama-cpp): issue slot cache IDs on the server

The slot save and restore API let the client pick the file name.
Restore could load any file in slot_save_path, and the symlink check
ran before llama.cpp opened the file.

The backend now issues the name. A save returns a random 128-bit ID
(32 lowercase hex characters, read from /dev/urandom) and never
overwrites an existing file. Files live in a 0700 directory per model,
named from the SHA-256 of the model identity, with a manifest.json
that records each save. The manifest is written atomically and a
corrupt one stops both save and restore.

A restore takes the ID, finds it in the manifest, refuses an entry of
another model, builds the path from the entry and checks with lstat
that it is a plain file of the recorded size. The directory mode is
the main defence against another local user, since llama.cpp still
opens the path itself.

Each model keeps at most 32 saves and the oldest is deleted first. A
file over 8 GiB is deleted after the save, because llama.cpp does not
report the size before it writes. Responses carry no host path.

The HTTP bodies change: save takes {model, slot}, restore takes
{model, slot, id}, and an unknown ID returns 404. In the proto,
SlotCacheRequest.filename and SlotCacheResponse.filename become id.
SlotCache no longer calls checkModelIdentity, which reads a field this
request does not have.

* feat(stablediffusion-ggml): run MiniMax-H3 video with reference conditioning

Bump stable-diffusion.cpp to 2988060 and follow its tiling rename
(tile_size_x/y -> tile_size_w/h, rel_size_x/y -> rel_size_w/h).

GenerateVideo now passes params["ref_image"] and the request audio to
the MiniMax-H3 Ref2VA inputs (ref_images, ref_audios). The audio must
be a WAV file. params["ref_video"] is refused, since the proto cannot
carry a frame sequence yet.

stable-diffusion.cpp cannot tell the FL2VA and REF2VA DiTs apart, and a
reference input on FL2VA renders a wrong video without an error. The
backend now reads the video_partition option, or the model file name,
and fails early on that mix. Keyframes plus references are refused too.

Add gallery entries for the FL2VA and REF2VA Q4_K_M sets. They do not
enable any bf16 dequantisation.

* feat(stablediffusion-ggml): take several reference images, videos and audio clips

Phase 1 passed one reference image and one reference audio clip to
stable-diffusion.cpp and refused ref_video. Add repeated reference fields
to GenerateVideoRequest (ref_images, ref_videos, ref_audios) so the
MiniMax-H3 Ref2VA path can use as many references as upstream accepts. A
reference video is a directory of frames with an fps and an optional
paired audio clip.

The /video endpoint stages the new inputs through the same path as
start_image, end_image and audio. Frames of one reference video are
written to a private directory under zero-padded names so the backend can
read them in order. The input count and frame count per request are
bounded.

The backend merges the new fields with params.ref_image, params.ref_video
and audio, which keep working. The FL2VA partition refuses any reference
input, REF2VA accepts all of them, and keyframes stay exclusive with
references. Reference audio is still WAV only.

model page lists: pruned Q8_0 (renders), pruned Q6_K, Q5_0, Q4_K, Q3_K and
Q2_K (load only), and the pruned FL2VA NVFP4 file (loads only). The
earlier names minimax-h3-fl2va-q4 and minimax-h3-ref2va-q4 stay as
aliases. The two stable-diffusion.cpp entries become
minimax-h3-fl2va-unpruned-q4-ggml and minimax-h3-ref2va-pruned-q4-ggml,
and the latter now lists video input.

Fix two bad sources. The stable-diffusion.cpp entries took the VAEs from
a path that does not exist in the GGUF repository; they now use the
Comfy-Org copies. The vllm.cpp entries paired the fp16 video VAE weights
with a config from a different directory; they now use the official
weights and config from FL2VA/video_vae/source/.

Drop video_dequant_bf16 from every vllm.cpp entry. Expanding a quantised
DiT to bf16 is the suspected cause of a host out-of-memory error, so the
quantised weights stay resident. The model page records its renders with
the expansion on, and each description says so.

* feat(diarization): return sound events with include_sounds

A client that wants text, speakers, voice prints and sound events had to
make a diarization call and a separate sound call. Add an include_sounds
request field to /v1/audio/diarization that adds a sounds array of closed
events {start, end, label, confidence}, in seconds.

The parakeet-cpp backend runs a tagger-only scene stream over the clip,
the same stream and thresholds the live path uses, so a clip gives the
same events offline and live. A model with no sound_model companion, or a
backend that does not report sound events, fails with 501 and the stable
code include_sounds_unsupported instead of an empty list. The proto
carries sounds_included so an empty list still means "nothing heard".

The localai-proxy backend forwards the field. Swagger, docs and the
e2e mock backend are updated.

* chore(parakeet-cpp): bump parakeet.cpp to 2de154c

Brings in the speaker registry encoder fingerprint, the VAD segment trim
and the opt-in word filter, a fix for a per-call thread count that stayed
set on the process-wide backend after a Silero VAD pass, and bundle
components loaded from memory.

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

* feat(parakeet-cpp): encoder fingerprint for speaker naming, vad_trim and guard_* options

Speaker naming. A registered voice now carries the encoder that made it:
the embedding family (voicedetect:<arch>:<name>:<dim>) and the sha256 of
the weights. The backend reports the family of the loaded speaker model in
Status, voice enrollment from speaker_profiles stores it as encoder_family
(old entries load without it), and the registry sent to parakeet.cpp is
built with parakeet_capi_speaker_registry_add_embedding_fp. The library
then refuses a registry of another encoder family and the error names both
families; another quantization of the same family only warns. A voice with
only a weights hash gets the loaded family when the hashes are equal.

Voices without a fingerprint (registered from audio: libvoicedetect cannot
report one) keep the file-name rule and are used with a warning. The
library cannot mix them with fingerprinted voices in one registry, so a
request that has any uses the old registry for all. speaker_strict:true
drops them instead. A library without the symbols behaves as before.

Transcription. vad_trim (seconds, 0 keeps the whole cuts) goes through the
VAD options JSON, so it reaches /v1/vad and the segmenter. The guard_*
options guard_min_local_conf, guard_local_radius and guard_drop_punct_only
turn on the word filter through parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json_with,
or through the segmenter with vad:true. They are off by default, bad
values fail the load, and a library without the symbol fails it with a
clear message. The dropped word count is logged at debug level.

speakers of two_speakers.wav from a committed pair of WeSpeaker embeddings,
with the voices passed in reversed order. They also check that the float32

* feat(parakeet-cpp): load diarization and CED models and companions

Repin PARAKEET_VERSION to parakeet.cpp PR #75's head, which adds
parakeet_capi_model_kind (ABI v8). Bind the new diarization, sound
event and combined scene stream C symbols through the same
purego.Dlsym probe pattern already used for the batched JSON entry
point, so the backend still loads against an older libparakeet.so.

Load now classifies the loaded GGUF by role (ASR, diarization or
sound) via parakeet_capi_model_kind and can load up to two companion
models from Options[] (asr_model:, diarization_model:, sound_model:,
paths resolved against opts.ModelPath), verifying each companion's
kind and freeing every context opened so far on any failure. Free
releases the primary and every companion. AudioTranscription now
names the loaded role when it is not ASR instead of a generic model
not loaded error. The dynamic batcher starts only when an ASR context
ends up loaded, primary or companion.

This is groundwork only: the Diarize and SoundDetection RPCs and the
live scene stream that actually use these new roles land in later
commits.

Implement the Diarize RPC for the parakeet-cpp Go backend, wired to

Plain diarization uses parakeet_capi_diarize_pcm; when include_text is
set and an ASR companion is loaded, parakeet_capi_transcribe_and_
diarize_json fills each segment's text instead. Speaker labels are the
decimal index, or "unknown" for -1 (no diarized speaker overlaps).

* feat(parakeet-cpp): add sound event detection

Wire the SoundDetection RPC to the CED tagger context (p.tagCtx)
loaded by Task 1's role classification. It runs the whole clip
through a one-shot parakeet_capi_sound_stream_* session (window
10s, hop 10s, top_k set to the tagger's class count so every
drained window carries a full score list), averages each class's
score across the drained windows, sorts descending, then applies
the request's threshold and top_k (0 keeps every class).

No tagCtx returns FailedPrecondition; a libparakeet.so missing the
sound_stream symbols returns Unimplemented. Every C call runs under
engineMu, and the stream is always freed, even when a feed or drain
call fails partway through.

Verified against a real ced-tiny-q8_0.gguf on the rooster.wav demo
clip: "Chicken, rooster" tops the list at score 0.91.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): cancel sound detection mid-feed, shrink the lock

SoundDetection now checks ctx before each 10 s feed slice (mirroring
driver.go's feedSlices) and returns Canceled if the caller gave up,
so a long clip can be interrupted instead of feeding to completion
regardless. The stream is still freed on every path, cancellation
included.

Also narrow engineMu to the C calls: the drained JSON document is
now decoded after the lock is released, splitting soundStreamScores
into a locked soundStreamDrain (opts, begin, feed, drain, free) and
an unlocked json.Unmarshal.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): stream speaker and sound events during live transcription

Add two additive proto fields, LiveSpeakerSegment and LiveSoundEvent,
repeated on TranscriptLiveResponse. When a diarization or sound
companion model is loaded, AudioTranscriptionLive now runs a no-ASR
scene stream (parakeet_capi_scene_stream_begin) beside the ASR
streaming session, feeding it the same PCM slices and forwarding any
closed speaker or sound events alongside the matching ASR delta, or
on their own when a slice has no ASR output.

The scene stream is freed and reopened on a mid-stream Config reset,
flushed with is_last before the closing FinalResult, and degrades
gracefully (a warning, not an error) when begin or a later feed call
fails, so live transcription keeps working ASR-only. Existing live
behavior is unchanged when no companion is configured, and no scene
C call is made in that case.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): keep scene events off the ASR critical path in live

Emit each slice's ASR result right after the ASR feed, before the
scene feed for that slice runs, so a companion diarization/sound
model never adds scene compute latency in front of the delta or
<EOU> that drives realtime turn detection. Closed speakers/sounds go
out afterward as their own response, so a slice with both now
produces two responses, ASR first. The live feed log line now
reports ASR and scene wall time separately.

Re-check the diarization/sound contexts a scene stream was begun
with against the live contexts before every feed, under the same
lock: Free() can race between an ASR feed and the matching scene
feed and free the model the stream borrows. A mismatch now returns
without touching the C side. Freeing the stream itself stays
unconditional; the scene stream's destructor only releases its own
buffers and never touches the borrowed contexts.

Also recover a panicking stub inside the live test goroutine instead
of crashing the test binary, and reset the live decode-lag tracker on
a mid-stream config reset, matching what its own comment already
promised.

seconds), and forward them from the semantic_vad live path.

Each speaker segment emits
conversation.item.input_audio_transcription.segment with speaker,
start, end and empty text under the turn's item id. Each sound
event emits conversation.item.sound_detection with one tag
(label, score = peak, index) and the event's new optional

loadRoles let a companion option (asr_model:/diarization_model:/

for example asr_model: on an already-ASR primary. The companion's
context silently overwrote ctxPtr/diarCtx/tagCtx, and Free() only
walks those three fields, so the original primary context was never
freed again.

Reject a companion whose role the primary already holds before its
GGUF is even loaded, freeing everything loadRoles opened so far, the
same way a wrong-kind companion is already rejected.

Also warn, rather than silently fall through, when
parakeet_capi_model_kind reports PARAKEET_MODEL_KIND_NONE for a
successfully loaded primary; the primary is still treated as ASR,

sceneBegin started the live diarization/sound companion stream with
the C API's default sound options, whose top_k keeps 5 scores per
window forever until drained. The live scene path never drains sound
scores (only the offline SoundDetection RPC does, with its own fresh
stream), so this window queue on the C side grew for the whole
session's lifetime.

Set opts.Sound.TopK = 0 before starting the scene stream: this
disables score retention while leaving sound event detection (onset/
offset), which the live path actually consumes, unaffected.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): merge diarization segments per speaker, harden Diarize

mergeCloseSegments only compared neighbors in the single start-sorted
segment list, so two same-speaker segments never merged once another
speaker's turn fell between them (A, B, A): the short B segment broke
the adjacency the merge relied on. Group segments by speaker first,
merge within each speaker's own start-ordered run, then re-sort the
result by start so interleaved speakers come back out in timeline
order.

Also harden Diarize's entry points the same way streamFeedDoc/
sceneFeed already are: diarizeCall re-checks p.diarCtx (and, on the
include_text path, p.ctxPtr) under engineMu right before the C call,
so a Free() racing between Diarize's own checks and the lock can no
longer reach the C side with a freed context. When the include_text
call returns NULL, last_error is now read from both contexts and
whichever came back non-empty is reported, since either side of the
pairing can be the one that failed. A WAV decode failure is reported
as InvalidArgument instead of an unwrapped/untyped error.

* docs: fix the parakeet-cpp companion role table and realtime scene docs

audio-to-text.md's companion option table read "Use on" with a note
that the loader did not enforce the pairing; it now rejects a
companion whose role duplicates the primary's, so restore the
"Allowed on" wording and describe the real enforcement.

openai-realtime.md's live speaker/sound section claimed a mid-stream
session.update resets the companion stream and that it flushes on
session close; neither happens, since the realtime core opens one
live stream (and so one scene stream) per speech turn and closes it
at that turn's commit, with no mid-stream Config in between. Document
that lifecycle instead, state precisely that start/end are seconds
from the start of the turn's own audio, and note that the diarization
model starts a fresh session every turn, so a speaker index is only
meaningful within one turn. The example sound tag ("Rooster", index
17) did not match any real CED label; index 17 in ced-tiny-q8_0.gguf
is "Baby laughter". Replaced with "Chicken, rooster" at its real

transcription words and word-level timestamps could not carry one, and
the stream=true transcript.text.done event left the speaker out of
its segments.

TranscriptWord gains an optional speaker (proto field 4, additive).
It flows through the live event and result mapping, the JSON word
output of the endpoint and the CLI, and transcript.text.done now
includes a segment's speaker when there is one. Empty labels are
omitted, so responses without diarization are unchanged.

each word carries its speaker. The stream=true final result labels
each utterance with the speaker who said most of it. Both use the
checkpoint's own diarization over the whole clip, as NeMo's diarize()
does. Words take the speaker whose segments overlap them most, or the
nearest segment within 0.5 s, the same rule as parakeet.cpp's
speaker-attributed ASR.

Speaker events reached a realtime session only from the live
semantic_vad path, which needs a cache-aware streaming transcription
model. Committed-turn transcription (server_vad, or any offline

segments' speakers.

pipeline.diarization (off by default) asks the transcription model for
speaker labels on each committed turn and emits every labelled segment
as a conversation.item.input_audio_transcription.segment event, with
its text, before the turn's completed event. It is opt-in because some

TDT 0.6B v3 (multilingual, offline) for realtime under server_vad:
set it as both transcription and sound_detection and turn on
pipeline.diarization, and each committed turn gets speaker segments
and sound tags from one parakeet-cpp backend.

Files and sha256 match the Hub and are shared with the existing TDT v3,
diarization and CED-Tiny entries. A real-model spec checks the
combination on a clip with two speakers and a rooster: A-B-A-B speaker

Tiny).

Measured on CPU over a 37 s clip: the live diarization + sound stream
runs at 0.125 of real time with CED-Base against 0.103 with CED-Tiny,
because diarization dominates; sound detection per committed turn costs
0.031 against 0.005. The realtime docs list both and note that any CED
size works as sound_model.

- choice: use optionText(name, desc) — "name: description" or "name"

- score: already correct (rendered criteria text)
- permute: shuffle indices and build parallel key/label arrays so the
  NER call uses the optionText labels while the response is keyed by
  the original option names

Also add the instructions field to the SystemOneQuestion schema struct
(accepted alongside the instr backward-compat alias).

Verified end-to-end against the real GLiNER2.5 model: noul questions
now find "Apple Inc. is" (organization, 0.999) and "Tim Cook is"
(person, 0.852) where they previously returned zero entities.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto c0b7e64973 feat(ui): show running models and host gauges on single-node installs (#12189)
On a single-node install nothing in Operate listed the models loaded on
this machine or let an admin stop one. The System page that did was
retired in #11548, and its replacements (the Nodes workbench) only work
in distributed mode. The Nodes page also mis-detected single-node mode:
the cluster routes are not registered there, so /api/nodes answers 404,
but only 503 was treated as "distributed off", which sent every
single-node install to the empty worker-registration card. The rail hid
the entry anyway.

Nodes route on a single node becomes "This machine":
- the Nodes page's VRAM / RAM / CPU / models-disk gauges, fed from this
  host by mapping /api/resources onto the worker heartbeat fields
- a memory bar splitting host RAM by running model
- a running-models table (backend, RSS, CPU share, uptime, PID) with
  search, sorting, logs and a confirmed Stop
- the distributed setup behind an "Add machines" button

The Operate overview gains a "Running now" preview (heaviest five, with
Stop) on single node and a pointer to Nodes > Running models on a
cluster. The rail shows "This machine" in Runtime with a running count.

Backend, additive only:
- /system: each loaded model carries a `process` block (pid, rss_bytes,
  memory_percent, cpu_percent, started_at). A sampler keeps one gopsutil
  handle per PID so CPU is the share since the previous poll rather than
  the lifetime average; it is omitted on the first reading.
- /api/resources: host `cpu` and models-path `disk`, the same readings
  workers send in their heartbeat.

Also fixes the fleet tables widening the page on phones: the headers'
absolutely positioned sr-only labels escaped the scroll wrapper.

enrichment so clients (e.g. nib) can size their context budget for
auto-compaction and pruning without guessing.

The value comes from backend.EffectiveContextSize, which resolves the
configured context_size or falls back to DefaultContextSize (4096) —
the same number the backend itself runs with. It is omitempty so a
loose file with no config surfaces 0 (unknown) rather than a misleading
default, and existing clients that don't know the field see no change.

Richard Palethorpe d10374f849 feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus (#10652)
* feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus

Add `classifier: knn` — similarity-weighted voting over labelled
example prompts. Unlike score/colbert it needs no classifier model:
label knowledge lives in a corpus seeded and curated through the
admin API, so routing decisions are deterministic, auditable, and
grounded in graded experience rather than a model's opinion.

Epistemic gate: corpus entries below knn.similarity_threshold cannot
vote; when none clears it the classifier activates no labels and the
router uses the fallback — a prompt unlike all labelled experience is
treated as undecidable, not guessed. Decisions record
nearest_similarity (also on fallback rows) so admins can see how far
the nearest labelled experience was; the Routing tab explains
out-of-corpus fallbacks and shows per-label corpus counts.

Persistence: one JSONL file per router under
<data path>/router-corpus (text, labels, vector, embedder
fingerprint). The file is the source of truth; the local-store index
is rebuilt from it at classifier build time and stays a pure
in-memory index. Entries recorded under a different embedding model
re-embed on load. Also corrects the docs' false claim that
local-store collections persist — the embedding cache never survived
restarts (and still doesn't); the corpus does.

Corpus input is API-only by design (entries may contain example user
content): POST /api/router/{name}/corpus seeds (labels validated
against declared policies, embedded server-side, indexed
immediately), GET .../corpus/stats inspects — label counts only,
entry texts are never returned by any surface — DELETE .../corpus
wipes. Admin-gated like the sibling router endpoints, and exposed as
MCP tools (seed_router_corpus / get_router_corpus_stats /
clear_router_corpus) in both the httpapi and inproc clients with
coverage-test route mappings.

Plumbing: VectorStore gains SearchK (top-K was hardcoded to 1);
local-store gets InsertBatch/Delete as optional fast paths;
RouterConfig gains a knn block (embedding_model, k,
similarity_threshold, vote_threshold, store_name) with meta-registry
fields; the classifier dropdown now offers knn and the
previously-missing colbert; embedding_cache is ignored (with a
warning) for knn — it IS an embedding-KNN lookup; the stale
/api/instructions intelligent-routing entry is rewritten (it
described a classifier that no longer exists); swagger regenerated.

Tests: KNN vote/gate specs with hand-computed vote shares, corpus
manager suite (restart reload without re-embedding, fingerprint
re-embed, dedupe, hostile store names), middleware specs (corpus
routing, gate fallback, config validation, cache-wrap refusal),
corpus endpoint specs pinning the texts-never-returned contract, MCP
catalog + route-mapping gates, and a Playwright spec for corpus
stats and the out-of-corpus decision detail.

* feat(router): name consulted corpus neighbours in knn decisions

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

* refactor(router): deduplicate knn plumbing and cut corpus hot-path waste

Post-review cleanup of the knn-first-class-router branch; no behaviour
changes on the API surface.

Reuse/altitude:
- RouterKNNConfig.ResolvedStoreName is now the single source of the
  router-corpus-<name> default (was hand-derived in four files).
- corpus.ResolveKNNRouter + corpus.Seed carry the shared model
  resolution and seed validation; the REST endpoints and the assistant
  MCP client are thin transport adapters over them, with sentinel
  errors mapped to HTTP statuses at the echo boundary.
- middleware.NewClassifierDeps assembles the classifier dependency set
  once for all five entry points (OpenAI, Anthropic, realtime, decide,
  corpus) instead of five hand-copied literals.
- router.AllClassifiers feeds both the status endpoint and the
  unknown-classifier error, ending the classifier-list drift.
- Per-classifier requirements moved out of validateRouterPolicies into
  their buildClassifier arms; the knn arm owns its embedding_cache
  opt-out instead of a name-check in the shared wrap tail.
- adminOnly replaces four inline copies of the admin gate in the
  middleware routes.
- localVectorStore.Search delegates to SearchK (identical traces).

Efficiency:
- Manager.Add embeds outside the manager mutex and appends to the
  JSONL file (O(new) instead of O(corpus) rewrite); a torn tail from a
  crash mid-append is tolerated on read and repaired on next write.
- Stats memoises per store keyed on the file's stat fingerprint and no
  longer takes the manager mutex, so the 5s status poll stops parsing
  vector-laden JSONL and stops blocking behind seeds.
- KNN Classify decodes each neighbour payload once (was twice) and
  builds refs and votes in a single pass with one fallback return.
- Corpus file writes fsync before rename/close.
- The corpus manager is built eagerly in newApplication (sync.Once
  dropped); test helper dead branch removed.

88edd7fc7f fix(distributed): run cold model loads as durable jobs instead of holding the advisory lock (#11514)
* fix(advisorylock): set statement_timeout alongside lock_timeout

WithLockCtx already overrides a deployment-wide lock_timeout on its
dedicated connection so a blocking pg_advisory_lock() waits its turn
instead of failing with 55P03. statement_timeout aborts that exact same
statement independently, with SQLSTATE 57014, and was not overridden.

Production roles commonly carry statement_timeout=60s. Any guarded
section longer than that (a cold model load stages for tens of minutes)
therefore killed every concurrent waiter:

  advisorylock: acquiring lock 9003261067483446873: ERROR: canceling
  statement due to statement timeout (SQLSTATE 57014)

Derive it from the same context budget as lock_timeout, with a matching
RESET so the pooled connection is returned clean.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* feat(distributed): add ModelLoadJob, the durable cold-load record

A cold load in distributed mode is a long-running background job, but it
was modelled as a synchronous side effect of an inference request: the
whole of it (backend install, multi-GB staging, checkpoint load) ran
inside the per-model advisory lock. Loading a 35.7 GB GGUF held that lock
for ~20 minutes, so every concurrent request for the same model blocked
on pg_advisory_lock and died at the role's 60s statement_timeout.

Introduce the row that lets the lock shrink to a decision. Exactly one
ModelLoadJob may be active per tracking key; that uniqueness — not the
lifetime of a lock — is what de-duplicates concurrent loaders across
replicas. ClaimLoadJob does its read-then-write under the advisory lock
and nothing else: no network, file or gRPC I/O inside the guarded
section, so a claim costs milliseconds no matter how long the resulting
load takes.

LastProgress is a heartbeat rather than a byte counter. A checkpoint load
legitimately moves zero bytes for many minutes, so a reaper keyed on byte
movement would reclaim a healthy job mid-load; byte progress stays the
concern of load_deadline.go. A job whose heartbeat stops for longer than
the orphan window is reclaimable, so a replica killed mid-load cannot
wedge a model permanently.

Failed jobs keep their row for a short grace so an immediately-following
request reports the real cause instead of silently starting a fresh load
of a model that just failed.

No caller yet — the router moves onto this in the next commit.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* refactor(distributed): run cold loads as jobs, outside the advisory lock

Route wrapped the entire cold load — node selection, backend install,
multi-GB staging and the remote LoadModel — in the per-model advisory
lock. The lock's job is to de-duplicate concurrent loaders, a decision
that takes milliseconds; holding it for the tens of minutes the resulting
work takes is what turned a dedup mechanism into a cluster-wide outage
for that model.

Split it into a claim and a run. The claim is the only thing left inside
the lock. The run is a background job owned by the claiming replica and
bounded by the same progress-extended deadline as before; every other
request for that model — local or on another replica — attaches as a
waiter and is served the moment the model is ready, with no duplicate
load and no lock contention.

Waiters share one broadcast rather than an ordered queue: they all want
the identical outcome, so ordering them would add fairness machinery that
changes no result. The local channel wakes same-replica waiters instantly
and a 2s DB poll is the authority, because a waiter on another replica
has no channel to close. On wake a waiter re-runs the warm path rather
than trusting the signal — the model may have been evicted in between.

A waiter whose client disconnects returns immediately and the job keeps
running; it belongs to the job record, not to the request. A failure is
recorded on the row so every waiter reports the real cause, and the row
survives briefly so the next request does not read "no job" as "not
loading" and start a duplicate load of a model that just failed.

The runner heartbeats the row on a fixed interval whether or not bytes
are moving, which is what keeps a legitimately silent checkpoint load
from being reclaimed as an orphan. Phase (installing/staging/loading) and
placement ride to the heartbeat on the context, the same seam
load_deadline.go already uses, so single-host paths are untouched.

Non-distributed mode (no DB) keeps the inline load exactly as it was.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* feat(distributed): bound the wait for a loading model and answer with progress

A request whose model is cold-loading now attaches to the running job and
is served the moment the model is ready. That wait has to be bounded: a
held HTTP request cannot survive real infrastructure, and an ingress or LB
idle timeout kills a twenty-minute request regardless of what LocalAI
does.

New LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_WAIT (default 60s) bounds the CALLER, never the
load — the job keeps running either way. On expiry the request gets 503
with Retry-After and a structured body naming the model, the node, the
phase, byte progress and an ETA. The `error` envelope keeps OpenAI
clients working; `loading` is additive so they ignore it.

The ETA comes from the job's own observed rate and is omitted rather than
guessed until enough bytes have moved for that rate to mean anything: a
confidently wrong ETA on a twenty-minute wait is worse than none.
Retry-After is that ETA when known, clamped to [5s, 300s], and the wait
budget otherwise.

LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_WAIT=0 waits unbounded, for deployments with no proxy
in front. Zero in the config struct still means "unset, use the default",
so the CLI records the operator's zero as ModelLoadWaitUnbounded rather
than losing the distinction.

The distributed branch of ModelLoader.loadModel wrapped the router's
error with %s, which flattened it to a string. Use %w: the typed error is
what the HTTP layer keys the 503 off.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* feat(api): add GET /api/models/{id}/load-status

A client that receives 503 while a model stages onto a worker needs
somewhere to poll. This returns the same `loading` object the 503 carries
— phase, node, byte progress and ETA — or 404 when no load is running.

Read-only and observability-shaped, so it is deliberately neither
admin-gated nor feature-gated: it explains a 503 the caller just
received, and hiding that behind a per-modality feature would make the
explanation for a failed image request depend on chat permissions. It
also gets no MCP tool, since there is nothing here an admin would manage
conversationally.

Registered on the surfaces from .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md: the
swagger block (existing `models` tag, so /api/instructions needs no new
area), the endpoint discovery maps in RegisterLocalAIRoutes, regenerated
swagger, and the distributed-mode docs page. No FLAG_* usecase is
involved, so capabilities.js is unchanged.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 [claude-code]

* feat(ui): show cold-load progress in Chat and retry when the model is ready

A chat request for a model that is still staging onto a worker now gets a
503 carrying live progress instead of an error. Render it: the composer
shows the phase (installing / staging / loading), the node, the percent
and the ETA, then polls load-status and re-sends the request the moment
the model is ready.

Reuses the staging progress idiom the page already had rather than
inventing a second one — the two sources are folded into one
loadProgress, with the load job winning because it is authoritative
across frontend replicas and knows the phase, where the staging operation
only knows about a byte transfer this replica happens to be performing.

Waiting is bounded (three send attempts, ~30 min of polling each), so a
load that never finishes still surfaces as an error rather than as a
spinner nobody questions. An aborted generation stops the polling too.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 5cb0c1a872 feat(ui): close the gap between the shipped UI and the design mocks (#11307)
* feat(ui): give the Operate overview real numbers and traces a latency shape

First two items from a component-by-component comparison against the mocks.
The pattern that audit found: everything newly built matched, everything
pre-existing got the palette but not the layout, and an "absent rather than
empty" rule hid most of the overview exactly when someone was looking at an
idle installation.

**The headline grid is always rendered**, including at zero, with a fourth cell
for host memory. Hiding it removed the page's structure precisely when it was
most likely to be read, and "0 failed" is information — an absent panel is not.
The quiet case is now said in a line underneath instead of by showing nothing.

**The sections state counts** rather than listing their destinations: backends,
models, updates and running operations instead of the words "Usage and traces".
That needed installed backend and model counts in the summary context, which
are two more cheap reads on the poll that was already running.

**Traces rows carry latency as a bar as well as a figure**, scaled against the
slowest request currently in view and turning amber past two seconds. The table
had no latency column at all — the number was buried in the expanded detail, so
the shape of the tail was invisible while scanning. Scaling against the view

* feat(ui): name the engine on Home's resident models, and add jump-back-in

Third item from the mock comparison.

The mock showed each resident model with the engine serving it. /system carried
only the id, so the audit recorded this as blocked on a server field — but the
config loader is already in scope where that response is built, so it is one
lookup. SysInfoModel gains an optional `backend`, resolved from the model's
config and omitted rather than guessed when there is none (a loose file, or a
config since removed). Home renders the column blank in that case; the test
pins both halves of that.

Memory per model stays out. It is not one lookup — it would mean asking each
backend process — and inventing a number beside a real one is worse than
leaving the column off.

"Jump back in" is the block the mock had and Home did not. The quick-links row
above it is a set of first-run actions; these are the three places someone
returns to, each stated with what it currently holds rather than as a bare
label.

* feat(ui): rank the recommended models as lanes instead of equal cards

The hardware recommendations were a grid of equally-weighted cards. The list is
already sorted by fit, and a grid throws that order away: three cards side by
side say "pick one", when the page has actually formed an opinion about which
one.

They are lanes now, read top to bottom in fit order, with the leader carrying
the single amber "Best fit" label and the rest marked "Also fits". One opinion
per page — the alternatives are alternatives, not runners-up each worth their
own colour, which is how a strip of coloured badges ends up meaning nothing.

Below 720px the size and VRAM columns drop and the lane keeps the name and the
install action, which are the two things a narrow screen needs.

The existing panel spec moves off .rec-models-item onto .lane rather than being
deleted; dismissal, collapse, keyboard operation and install all still pass
unchanged, and there is a new assertion that exactly one row is called out.

* fix(ui): drop capsule chips app-wide, and un-break the empty voice library

**Pills are gone.** A capsule radius reads as a tag floating on the surface,
which fights a system whose structure is hairlines and square corners — and
with chips on Discover, Host, Activity and the biometrics pages, "some pages
have pills" was the real inconsistency rather than any one page.

Sixteen selectors move to the small radius: filter buttons, tab pills, activity
and biometrics chips, file and count badges, the jump-to-latest control, the
nav badge. Round *buttons* keep their circle — .lightbox__nav and
.home-send-btn are circles, not capsules — as do every progress track, status
dot and avatar, which are round because they are round, not because they are
tags.

**The empty voice library was unusable.** `.voice-library-empty` sets
min-height: 430px, border: 0 and background: transparent — a description of the
empty PANEL — and it had been attached to the action instead. The create button
was therefore a 430px transparent box that pushed itself out of the panel and
could not be seen. Moved onto the container it describes, which now centres its
action rather than letting it fall off the bottom. Same class-mangling shape as
the Agents header fixed earlier.

* feat(ui): put Host's headline figures on the shared hairline strip

Host had shadowed, clickable StatCards above a page that already has a rail, a
pane and a tab bar — a second dashboard language on one screen, and a different
one again from the figures inside its own detail pane.

The Operate overview's figure grid is generalised into a shared `.stat-strip`
and Host adopts it, so the two pages read as one system: same cell, same figure
scale, same tone vocabulary, and the same hairline grid the split-view StatGrid
already uses. The cells stay clickable and still route into the tab and filter
they describe, because a count is worth more when it is also the way to the
thing counted.

Tone is spent only where the number means something — running and updates when
non-zero — since a strip where every cell is coloured has no emphasis left.

Two bugs made on the way, both now covered:

- The first version put `<button>` elements inside a `<dl>` with `<dt>`/`<dd>`
  inside the buttons. Neither is valid, the browser re-parents both, and the
  cells collapsed. These cells are a set of controls, so a plain container of
  buttons is also the honest markup.
- Even correct, the strip rendered 2px tall: `.page--app` is a flex column
  whose split view takes flex:1, so a child with no intrinsic minimum is shrunk
  away. The old cards survived only because `.stat-card` carried
  min-height:96px. The strip now declines to shrink, with a test pinning it.

The stat-card specs are retargeted rather than deleted: they were written to
guard a class collision on a page that no longer uses cards, so they now guard
the strip's labels and its height.

* feat(ui): make Backends notices an edge rather than a filled card

The install and upgrade banners were tinted cards with a full border. A filled
panel makes every notice shout at the weight of an error, which is how notices
stop being read — and Backends shows one on most visits, so it was shouting
routinely.

They are now a hairline with a coloured left edge, the same treatment the
Operate overview gives rows that want a decision, so "this needs you" looks the
same wherever it appears. Counts in the notice take the monospace tabular
figures the rest of the console uses.

Also drops the last inline style on the page, and refreshes the inline-style
baseline, which has read 624 against a real count since #11288 landed. The gate
exits 0 either way, so nothing was failing — but a baseline 86 above the truth
would have let that many inline styles back in unnoticed. Now at 538, which
tightens the ratchet rather than loosening it.

The spec creates the upgrade it asserts on rather than skipping when the mock
has no notice: a test that skips is a test that proves nothing.

* feat(ui): finish the mock parity list, and stop hiding the recommendations

The last two items from the audit, plus a correction.

**Discover's use-case shelf is lanes.** These are a list of ways in, read in
order; a grid of equal cards asks the reader to compare them, which is not the
choice on offer.

**The request panel reaches every generator.** Video, 3D, Sound and Audio FX
join Images and Speech, so each one teaches its own endpoint rather than two of
six doing it. Audio FX records the fields that shape the request rather than
the bytes, since its payload is multipart.

**Recommendations no longer collapse themselves.** They were folded away by
default once anything was installed. That is the page's one opinion about this
host, and an opinion hidden by default is one the reader never gets. Someone
who disagrees can still collapse it and that choice is remembered — the
difference is that we no longer make it for them. Three specs asserted the old
default and now assert the new one.

The use-case heading also sat a line's width from the text it introduces, so
the two read as one paragraph. It has air under it now, and the shelf is
separated from the recommendations above it.

Two tests removed rather than kept: a generator loop whose only real assertion
was `expect(endpoint.length).toBeGreaterThan(0)`, and an earlier card-gap guard
that could only skip. A test that cannot fail is worse than no test, because it
reads as coverage.

* fix(ui): make the Host figures legible and give the strip its spacing back

Three defects introduced by the Host redesign, all found by looking at the
running app rather than by the suite.

**The figures were invisible.** "Running now" and "Updates available" rendered
pure black on the dark ground. Two causes compounding: the `--muted` tone alias
never landed, because the source rule has extra spaces before its brace and the
exact-match edit missed it silently; and a `<button>` does not inherit colour,
so with no tone rule the value fell back to the user agent's `buttontext`.
Both fixed, and a test now fails on any figure computing to pure black.

**The strip sat flush against the resources panel.** `.stat-strip` declares
`margin: 0 0 ...` and is declared later in the file than `.manage-summary`, so
the shorthand quietly won and the top margin became zero. Raised to
`.stat-strip.manage-summary` so it beats the shorthand on specificity rather
than on declaration order, which is the kind of thing that breaks again the
next time a rule moves.

**Discover's use-case heading had a doubled gap.** `.zero-pane` is a flex
column that already separates its children; adding a margin on top of the gap
stacked the two. The margin is gone and the heading keeps only its own breathing
room.

* feat(ui): make Studio's tabs path segments rather than a query parameter

`/app/studio?tab=images` reads like a filter applied to a page. It is
navigation: a different generator, with its own state and its own deep link. It
is now `/app/studio/images`, with the overview at `/app/studio`.

Legacy `?tab=` links are redirected once to the path form, replacing the
history entry so Back does not bounce between two spellings of the same place.
Bookmarks and older links keep working and land on the canonical URL rather
than a second version of it, which is the part worth having a test for.

* feat(ui): make the hardware recommendation a section, not a dismissable card

It was a bordered card with a collapse control and a close button, sitting
inside a pane that is otherwise hairline sections. Two problems: it read as
something bolted onto the page rather than part of it, and treating it as an
interruption to be shut is the wrong frame for the one thing the page has to
say about the machine it is running on.

It is now a plain section with the same heading treatment as the shelves below
it. The collapse state, the dismissal, their storage keys and the legacy key
read for backwards compatibility all go with it, along with the installedCount
prop that existed only to pick a default collapse.

Five specs described behaviour that no longer exists and are removed rather
than adjusted — collapsing, dismissing, persistence of both, and the toggle's
keyboard handling. One new spec asserts the replacement contract: no control
with aria-expanded, no dismiss, and no card border.

* fix(ui): restore every stripped icon and every default-chrome control

You reported two broken icons. They were not two: an earlier automated edit had
stripped the `fa-*` class from twenty `<i>` elements across eleven pages, and an
`<i>` with no icon class renders nothing at all. Settings' save button, the
voice-profile back link, and eighteen others — agent row actions, task and job
buttons, import and create actions — were all drawing empty space.

Each is restored from its own context rather than a blanket icon: the agent row
gets pause/play, pen, comments, file-export and trash; the fine-tune toggle
swaps plus for xmark as it opens; the P2P documentation link gets the
external-link glyph.

The same edit left controls without their classes. Fine-tune's "Import config"
was rendering in the browser's own chrome, and `.p2p-cmd__copy` set a border
but no background, so it fell back to `buttonface` — a pale grey chip on a dark
command block. FineTune's "New job" also had its icon classes folded into the
button's className, the same mangling already fixed on the Agents header.

Rather than fix the reported two and wait for the next report, this adds a
standing audit: twenty-five routes are walked and the test fails on any visible
control rendering with user-agent chrome, or any `<i>` without an `fa-*` class.
It found the three remaining cases after the first sweep, and it is the reason
the next one cannot ship quietly.

Closes #1649.

Mirror of the existing /v1/tokenize path, requested by @benniekiss in
the issue thread for "complete API workflow" use cases that need to
turn token IDs back into text without local processing.

- Add Detokenize gRPC RPC with DetokenizeRequest{tokens} /
  DetokenizeResponse{content} messages.
- Implement in the llama.cpp backend using common_token_to_piece, the
  same primitive TokenizeString already uses internally.
- Other backends inherit the default Unimplemented from base.Base, in
  line with how Detect, Rerank, etc. are gated per-backend.
- Wire up the Go gRPC interface, server, client, and in-process embed
  wrapper alongside their TokenizeString counterparts.
- Add the schema types, ModelDetokenize wrapper, HTTP handler, route
  registration, RouteFeatureRegistry entry (gated by FeatureTokenize so
  no new feature flag is needed), and the discovery map entry under
  ai_functions.
- Regenerated swagger reflects the new endpoint and types.
- Update authentication.md to list /v1/detokenize alongside /v1/tokenize.

* fix(kokoros): implement detokenize in the Rust backend service

The Detokenize RPC added in this PR grows the tonic-generated Backend
trait. Unlike the other languages there is nothing to inherit a default
from — Rust trait impls must list every method — so
backend/rust/kokoros failed to compile:

  error[E0046]: not all trait items implemented, missing: `detokenize`
    --> src/service.rs:72:1
  72 | impl Backend for KokorosService {

Go backends pick up the Unimplemented default from base.Base, and the
generated C++/Python servicer bases default to UNIMPLEMENTED, which is
why the Rust backend was the only one that broke. kokoros is the sole
Rust crate in the tree, so this is the full extent of the fallout.

Return Status::unimplemented("Not supported"), matching how this same
file already gates tokenize_string and ~20 other unsupported RPCs.

Fixes the tests-kokoros and backend-jobs-singlearch-4 (-cpu-kokoros)

Name the whole entry in the unknown-key error too: an entry like ':value' has

* backend(audio-cpp): harden seconds_to_samples against NaN and overflow

seconds_to_samples is the one entry point fed by untrusted-shaped input: a
float-seconds timestamp off the wire, or a boundary from a model that diverged.
Its guard covered only the low side, so NaN and out-of-range values fell through
to an undefined double-to-int64 cast and came back as INT64_MIN. A hugely
negative sample index used later as an offset or a length is a wild pointer
rather than merely a wrong timestamp. Reject NaN with the !(x > 0) form and
saturate before the cast.

Also round instead of truncating there. These functions exist to cross the float
seconds boundary the VAD and diarize messages use, and truncation lost a sample
about half the time on the samples-to-seconds-and-back round trip, starting at
n=1.

Pin the decode scale at INT16_MIN, pin nanosecond truncation on a nonzero
fraction, and record why the clamp argument order in f32_to_s16le is

* backend(audio-cpp): map NaN PCM samples to silence explicitly

f32_to_s16le relied on std::min argument order to keep a NaN sample away from
std::lround, whose result is unspecified for NaN. That was too subtle to rest on
a comment, and the comment was itself wrong: it warned against a spelling that
the outer std::max already catches, while three real spellings leak, including
std::clamp, which is the idiomatic C++17 way to write the same clamp and so the
likeliest future edit.

Divert NaN before the clamp and encode it as 0. A NaN sample rendered as a
full-scale click is worse audio than a dropped one, and this unit converts audio
that may have originated off the wire.

Pin it with an exact-value check rather than a range check, since all three
outcomes the plausible spellings produce are finite and inside full scale, plus
an invalid-operation check that fails unless the NaN is diverted before any
ordered comparison. That second check is what catches modernizing the clamp and
dropping the guard together.

Also bound the seconds round-trip comment, which claimed unconditionally what
holds only below roughly 2^23 samples, and document NaN, saturation and that
bound in the header.

A segment sourced from speaker_turns re-derived its speaker by greatest
overlap. A turn's overlap with its own span is the largest possible, so a turn
nested inside another speaker's turn could only tie with the container, and the
tie went to whichever came first. sortformer_diar binarizes each speaker
independently and sorts by start sample, so the container always comes first
and the interjecting speaker was silently erased from DiarizeSegment.speaker.
choose_segment_spans now carries the label out with the span.

Also pins the nearest-segment fallback against measuring from either endpoint
or from segment position, which a trailing-only stray word could not do, and
exercises the empty-word guard in join_words. Two fixtures that pin a rule but
do not mirror any pinned family are relabelled defensive.

* backend(audio-cpp): serialize runs with a wedge-aware guard

audio.cpp sessions are not reentrant and a wedged CUDA call cannot be
cancelled, so a plain mutex would pile every worker thread behind a stuck GPU.
Callers waiting past the configured bound, or arriving while the holder has
already overrun it, fail fast instead.

A caller that queues behind a healthy run deliberately does not stamp the
clock: only the thread that takes the lock does. Stamping on arrival would
restart the wedge clock on every request and hide a stuck run from everyone
behind it, which is the pile-up this guard exists to prevent.

* backend(audio-cpp): serialize inference through an InferenceLane

One audio.cpp model is loaded per backend process and its sessions are not
reentrant, so concurrent gRPC handlers have to take turns. Serialization alone
is not enough: a wedged GPU call cannot be cancelled from userspace, so an
unbounded queue behind one stuck run would swallow every gRPC worker thread
until the process is useless.

InferenceLane gives handlers a lane with room for one runner. LaneEntry occupies
it for a scope and gives it back on every exit, including an exception, and is
the only way to take the lane at all: occupy/vacate are private with LaneEntry
as the sole friend, so a caller cannot acquire without holding something that
releases. LaneEntry is immovable on purpose, because a moved-from entry would
have to stop releasing while the lane still recorded it as occupied.

A caller either waits indefinitely or brings a millisecond budget. A bounded
caller that cannot get in fails instead of waiting on, and a bounded caller
whose budget is already shorter than the age of the run in the lane fails
immediately, which is what stops a queue forming behind a wedged run. The two
failures carry different text: one names the wait it exhausted, the other states
the measured age of the run without claiming to know why it is long, since a
short budget meeting a legitimately long run lands there too.

The run's age is stamped only after acquisition. A waiter that published itself
as holder would restart the measurement and hide a genuinely stuck holder from
every caller behind it.

Budget negotiation and the overrun decision are pure functions taking their
inputs explicitly, so both are covered without threads or sleeping. The
per-model ceiling arrives as an int of milliseconds; a request may tighten it
and may never loosen it.

Replaces the previous run_guard unit, which was a derivative of an
Apache-2.0 file upstream and could not stay in an MIT tree. Written from a
behaviour contract with no reference to the removed code.

Tests: 65 checks, standard library only, single translation unit, clean under
-Wall -Wextra. Mutation tested at 23/23 killed; two of those mutants exposed
missing coverage and the tests were extended until they died. ThreadSanitizer

* backend(audio-cpp): make the B10 test able to fail, and document LaneEntry

Review of the previous commit found the B10 test could not fail for the reason
it was named. It aged the in-flight run to about 120 ms and then tried two
budgets, 30 ms and 60 ms, both under that age, so both callers took the
fail-fast path. "The two failure modes do not share one message" was comparing
two fail-fast messages that differ only in the budget they print, and the
timeout path was never reached. The second budget is now 400 ms, well over the
run's age, so that caller queues and times out, and a new check asserts which
path each caller took instead of inferring it from inequality. A mutant that
makes the fail-fast path emit the timeout message previously died only on B4 and
B8 checks; it now also dies on B10.

Comment-only changes elsewhere. LaneEntry now says it is not reentrant and does
not detect reentrancy: a second entry on a thread that already holds the lane
surfaces as LaneUnavailable with a positive budget, but parks silently in
unbounded mode, which matters because a handler may hold one across a whole
stream. The immovability note now names the shapes that work, an optional
emplaced in place or a unique_ptr, rather than saying to hold the entry
indirectly without saying how; all three documented forms were compiled before
being written down, which is how the note came to say that an optional of an
immovable type cannot itself be returned.

The header's explanation of why fail-fast exists is reworded. Two clauses traced
back to a specification written after reading the Apache-2.0 upstream header,
and while that was judged de minimis, this unit was rewritten precisely to carry
no upstream expression at all.

The margin table in the report was also wrong about which wall-clock margins are
load-sensitive: there are four, not one, and the tightest is the B3 arrival
check, which is now flagged at the call site. No margin value changed and none

* backend(audio-cpp): gate model loading on the audio.cpp family

Refuses any GGUF without an audiocpp.model_spec.family key and any non-GGUF
path without an explicit family option, so the model loader's greedy backend
probe cannot bind an unrelated llama.cpp GGUF to this backend (#9287).

* backend(audio-cpp): load models and cache sessions per task

Loads one ILoadedVoiceModel and creates an IVoiceTaskSession lazily per
(task, mode), so the same model serves both the unary and streaming RPCs.
LoadModel derives the family from GGUF metadata or an explicit option and
fails with INVALID_ARGUMENT otherwise, so a failed load is a gRPC error the
backend probe can see.

audiocpp_backend::Task mirrors engine::runtime::VoiceTaskKind positionally,
and drift there is silent: every unit still compiles and every test still
passes while the backend runs a different task. Two mechanisms pin it. The
static_asserts in loaded_model.cpp catch an insertion or a reorder, and
-Werror=switch on that one file turns an appended upstream enumerator into a
build failure rather than a warning in a 600 file log.

* backend(audio-cpp): stop aborting the process on SIGTERM

The signal handler called grpc::Server::Shutdown directly. Shutdown takes an
absl::Mutex, which is not async-signal-safe: the handler can interrupt a thread
already holding that mutex, and abseil's deadlock detector responds by aborting.
Every SIGTERM therefore ended in exit 134 and a 'dying due to potential
deadlock' stack rather than a drained shutdown.

The handler now sets a lock-free atomic and returns. Server::Wait moves to a
helper thread so the main thread can poll that flag and call Shutdown itself,
outside any signal context. A condition variable would not have helped, because
notifying one from a handler is not async-signal-safe either.

SIGTERM and SIGINT both exit 0 with no stack trace, where both previously
exited 134.

* backend(audio-cpp): correct the status, lifetime and state contracts of LoadedModel

An environment fault during session creation was reported as UNIMPLEMENTED. A
missing libggml-cpu-*.so surfaced to the client as 'family silero_vad advertises
vad/offline but refused to create the session: Failed to initialize CPU
backend', which tells LocalAI the model cannot do this and must never be
retried, and sends an operator hunting a capability bug instead of a packaging
one. A throw from create_task_session is now a plain runtime_error, so it maps
to INTERNAL. Only a null return, where the family genuinely declined, stays a
CapabilityError.

The model.'s task: option was parsed and then dropped: it lived in a local that
died at the end of LoadModel and had no route to RequestShape::pinned_task.
LoadedModel now keeps it and exposes pinned_task().

The global model becomes a shared_ptr reached through snapshot(). An audio RPC
runs for seconds and cannot hold g_model_mu for its duration, so under a
unique_ptr a Free arriving mid-request would destroy the model underneath it.
Handlers now take a counted reference and whichever finishes last does the
teardown, outside the lock.

session_for documents the streaming state contract rather than resetting the
session itself. Resetting on a cache hit was tried first and is not possible:
silero_vad throws 'session prepare() must be called before Silero VAD reset()',
so it would turn an ordinary second fetch into a hard error. start_stream's base
implementation is already a reset, so a caller that runs prepare then
start_stream per stream gets a clean session; a probe against the bundled
silero_vad confirms an identical replay when it does and a carried-over stream
when it does not.

Also: an unknown backend: name is rejected before the model loads rather than
after; MainGPU is parsed instead of passed through std::atoi, which turned
'gpu1' into device 0 silently; and device carries a device_set flag, because 0
is both the default and a real device index, so MainGPU was overriding an
explicit device:0 that the neighbouring threads: handling promises will win.

* backend(audio-cpp): serve the VAD and Diarize RPCs

Both emit float seconds, converted from the runtime's sample-index spans, and
both take a counted reference to the loaded model through snapshot() and hold it
for the whole call: a Free arriving mid-request drops only the global's
reference, so whichever request finishes last destroys the model instead of one
of them running on freed weights. An AddressSanitizer build reproduces exactly
that heap-use-after-free inside ggml_vec_dot_f32 when the handler keeps a raw
pointer instead, which is why the shape is what it is.

The inference lane is taken before session_for, not after. session_for reads and
writes an unsynchronised session cache and the offline run calls prepare(),
which mutates the session, so both belong inside the lane.

Diarize routes before it reads the input file, so a family that cannot diarize
at all says so rather than complaining about the audio first. Its per-segment
text stays empty because audio.cpp's SpeakerTurn carries a span and a speaker
label only, and nested or overlapping turns are passed through untouched: a
sortformer turn inside another speaker's turn is correct output for overlapped
speech, and LocalAI is overlap-tolerant downstream. Duration counts frames
rather than floats, so a stereo input does not report twice its length.

Verified end to end against upstream's bundled silero_vad, which needs no
download, using the bundled 16 kHz speech asset: a synthetic tone returns
nothing, correctly, because silero detects speech and a sine is not speech.

* backend(audio-cpp): enforce ModelIdentity on VAD and Diarize

audio-cpp was the only C++ backend without the model-identity guard, and no
later task in the plan added it. pkg/grpc/server.go enforces checkModelIdentity
on exactly these two RPCs, for the reason #10952 records: in distributed mode a
worker can recycle a stopped backend's gRPC port for another model's backend,
and the controller's liveness-only probe cannot tell a stale cached route from a
live one. Without this guard a stale route gets a different model's VAD or
diarization answer back with a 200.

The loaded identity lives on LoadedModel rather than in a separate global, which
is where this differs from llama-cpp. A handler holding the model through
snapshot() then necessarily judges against the identity that model was loaded
with, and a concurrent reload cannot swap one without the other. The refusal is
NOT_FOUND carrying the verbatim grpcerrors.ModelMismatchSentinel substring.

session_for and run_offline now take a const LaneEntry & proof-of-holding
parameter. The rule that both must run under the inference lane was prose, which
is exactly how the plan came to specify the inverted order; it is now a compile
error. Restoring the inverted order fails to build rather than racing on an
unsynchronised session map with a mutating prepare().

Diarize's speaker-hint comment claimed the dropped hints were "not a silent
failure". From the caller's side that is what they are, and backend.proto
documents num_speakers as forcing, so the comment now says plainly that the
forwarding is dead for sortformer and that the family which lands must either
honour num_speakers or refuse it. read_audio_file inspects the error_code from
exists(), so an unsearchable parent directory no longer reports as a missing
file. The VAD handler records the stimulus that actually works, since silero
correctly ignores synthetic tones and the next task would otherwise rediscover
that.

* backend(audio-cpp): make the lane and identity guards structural

Two hardenings ahead of the eleven handlers still to be written, both of which
get harder to retrofit later.

The lane proof-of-holding parameter was a const reference, which binds to a
temporary, so session_for(rpc, shape, model->acquire(0)) compiled. Each such
temporary dies at the end of its own full-expression, releasing the lane between
two calls that must share one: precisely the split the parameter exists to
prevent, and the form a future author is most likely to reach for because it
reads as tidy. A non-const reference requires an lvalue, so the temporary form
now fails to compile while the named-local handlers build unchanged. The header
comment no longer implies the check is total either: it proves a lane was taken,
not that it is this model's lane.

The identity check was two lines each handler had to remember, with nothing
failing if a new one forgot them and no C++ equivalent of
model_identity_modalities_test.go to notice. snapshot() becomes
snapshot_unchecked(), whose only legitimate caller is Status, since HealthMessage
carries no ModelIdentity. Handlers go through snapshot_for(), which takes the
counted reference, refuses when nothing is loaded, and runs the identity check
before anything can route. Every handler already has to call something to obtain
the model, so the guarded call is now the shortest path and skipping it means
deliberately typing snapshot_unchecked. A convention that has to be remembered
can rot; this cannot.

Verified: the temporary-argument and inverted-order forms each fail to compile
with the expected diagnostic, the real handlers build, and bypassing the guard in
Diarize alone turns the identity test red on that RPC while VAD stays green.

* backend(audio-cpp): serve the AudioTranscription RPC

Adds result_map, the engine-to-proto boundary, and wires the offline
transcription RPC.

The handler branches on the ROUTED task: for Asr the request's prompt is
whisper-style decoding context and becomes a request option, for Alignment
the same field IS the transcript to align and becomes the text input.
Routing has already decided which.

The result text is TaskResult.text_output verbatim and is never derived
from the segments. audio.cpp carries transcript text in text_output and
nowhere else, so deriving it returns an empty transcript for every
producer that reports segments without word timing. transcript_assembly
already enforces that; this commit's job is not to undo it at the proto
boundary, and result_map_ctest pins it there.

read_audio_file now takes the sample rate the caller needs. Both file-fed
speech handlers ask for 16 kHz mono, for two reasons: silero_vad and
sortformer_diar refuse anything else outright, which turned an ordinary
44.1 kHz upload into INTERNAL, and nemotron_asr emits word timestamps in
its own 16 kHz feature domain whatever the input was, so only a 16 kHz
buffer makes the emitted nanoseconds right. Zero keeps the file's native
rate and channels, which is what source separation will need.

LoadedModel::check_can_serve answers a capability refusal before the lane
is taken and before the input file is read. Routing is a pure read of the
immutable capabilities, so a model that cannot serve an RPC no longer
waits out somebody else's run to say so. VAD and Diarize use it too.

* backend(audio-cpp): stop linking sentencepiece's vendored protobuf

engine_runtime links sentencepiece, whose default SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER
builds the protobuf-lite 3.14.0 sources it vendors. The generated
backend.pb.cc is built against the toolchain's protobuf 3.21.12. Both
ended up in the binary: 476 google::protobuf:: symbols came from the
archive, 278 of them also defined by libprotobuf.so, and the archive won,
because once ld pulls a member in for sentencepiece's own code every
reference binds to the definitions that member carries.

The visible symptom is one function.
ParseContext::ParseMessage(MessageLite*, const char*) is what a generated
_InternalParse calls for a submessage field and for nothing else, so flat
messages parsed and nested ones did not: a TranscriptResult carrying
segments serialized to correct bytes that the same process could not read
back, and TranscriptLiveRequest, a oneof of submessages, could not have
been parsed at all. Underneath that, 3.21 generated code was running 3.14
arena, ArenaStringPtr and ExtensionSet code.

-Wl,--exclude-libs does not fix it. It makes those symbols LOCAL in
.dynsym and the parse still fails, because the binding was decided at
static link time and no visibility flag revisits it.

Setting SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER to "package" before add_subdirectory points
sentencepiece at the protobuf the generated code was already built
against. Zero google::protobuf:: definitions remain in the executable
afterwards, every nested message round trips, and citrinet_asr, which
parses a SentencePiece ModelProto at load time and would break first if
this were wrong, still tokenizes and transcribes correctly.

* backend(audio-cpp): fix the segment text a transcription response is built from

Segment text is not decoration. core/http/endpoints/openai/transcription.go
routes response_format text, srt, vtt and lrc through
schema.TranscriptionResponse, which builds the entire body out of
Segments[].Text and never reads the top-level text. So for those four
formats the segment text IS the response.

nemotron_asr emits one word_timestamp per SentencePiece token, and the
word boundary is carried as a LEADING SPACE on the piece ("So", "me",
" call"). join_words inserted a space unconditionally, so
response_format=text returned "So me  call   me  na ture ," while the
correct sentence sat unread in the top-level field. The separator is now
chosen from the words themselves: whole words are space-joined, subword
pieces are concatenated, and one leading space anywhere selects the
latter. Concatenating the real nemotron pieces reproduces text_output
exactly, verified end to end.

This does not touch the top-level text, which is still text_output
verbatim. The rule that forbids deriving the transcript from the segments
is about the direction segments -> text; segment text has no source other
than its words.

Two smaller corrections in the same area:

timestamp_granularities ["word"] set only "word_timestamps", a key no
family in the pinned upstream reads. It now sets "return_timestamps",
which qwen3_asr does read and which both runs its forced aligner and
shortens its chunk window, so asking for word granularity no longer
silently returns nothing.

The request-option comment claimed more than it delivered. prompt,
translate and temperature are read by no ASR family, and are forwarded
only so a family adopting them works unchanged; the comment now says so
per key, and gives TranscriptRequest.diarize the same explicit treatment
threads already had.

Also: the shipping target now carries -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic, which it
never did, so "the build is clean" starts meaning something; and
fill_transcript_result no longer swallows a null response pointer, since
answering OK with an empty transcript is the one failure mode this unit
exists to prevent.

* backend(audio-cpp): serve the AudioTransform RPC

Covers voice conversion, singing voice conversion, speech to speech and source
separation, the four tasks LocalAI's AudioTransform can represent.

AudioTransformResult carries one dst while htdemucs and mel_band_roformer
produce several named stems from a single run, so inference runs ONCE, every
stem is written as a sibling file <dst-stem>.<name>.<ext>, and params[stem]
selects which one dst receives, defaulting to vocals and falling back to the
first output. An unknown stem name is INVALID_ARGUMENT listing the real stem
names rather than a silent substitution, and the selection happens before the
first write so a refused request leaves no files behind. params[stem] is
consumed here and is not forwarded into the engine's request options.

The stem decision lives in stem_selection, which is stdlib only and therefore
tested by backend/cpp/run-unit-tests.sh. It also validates the names, because
they come from the model (htdemucs reads them from the GGUF's config.sources)
and each becomes a component of a path this backend writes: a name carrying a
path separator would escape the caller's output directory, and two stems
sharing a name would silently overwrite one another.

Both files are read at their native rate and channel count. Separation forces
it, since demucs and roformer refuse any rate but 44.1 kHz and lose the stereo
image that separates a centred vocal from a wide mix. The conversion families
all resample internally (seed_vc, vevo2, miocodec, chatterbox were each
checked), so passing the file through unchanged is also strictly better than
band limiting it to 16 kHz first.

Verified end to end against htdemucs f16 on a 44.1 kHz stereo mix: four stems
plus dst, dst byte identical to the selected stem, params[stem] selecting a
different one, an unknown stem refused with no files written, and mono input
preserved as mono output. Also against miocodec for the single output path,
where params[stem] is refused rather than ignored.

* backend(audio-cpp): refuse an impossible stem early, and stop blaming the caller for a failed write

Four fixes from the first review of the AudioTransform RPC.

check_can_serve now returns the resolved route, so params[stem] on a route that
is not source separation is refused from the route instead of after a full
inference: 11 ms rather than the 4.5 s a miocodec conversion costs, and far
worse on seed_vc or vevo2. The post-run refusal stays as the backstop for a
separation-routed family that returns no stems anyway. The typo'd-stem-name
case still needs the run, since no framework header publishes the stem names
before one.

Stem names carrying control bytes are refused. GGUF strings are length prefixed
and demucs reads its sources from JSON, so an embedded NUL survives to here:
two names differing only after the NUL are distinct std::strings, so the
duplicate check passes them, and then path::c_str() truncates both and they
open the same file. That is exactly the silent overwrite the duplicate check
exists to prevent, with the .wav lost as well.

A failed write is now INTERNAL rather than INVALID_ARGUMENT. The destination is
LocalAI's own generated-content directory, not anything the caller named, so a
full disk or a permission fault there is a server fault and is worth retrying,
which is the opposite of what INVALID_ARGUMENT tells a client. An empty output
path stays INVALID_ARGUMENT.

Two comment corrections and one clarification: the separators' required rate is
their checkpoint's declared samplerate rather than a hardcoded 44100, seed_vc
resamples with soxr and falls back to sinc-hann, and the "no files left behind"
guarantee covers a refused request, not a write that fails partway through the
loop.

* feat(audio-transform): stop folding every upload to 16 kHz mono, and name the separation stems

Two defects that made source separation unusable through LocalAI's own API,
even though the backend served it correctly over gRPC.

/audio/transform normalized every upload to 16 kHz mono s16 through
utils.AudioToWav, with no way past it. htdemucs and mel_band_roformer refuse
any rate but their checkpoint's own and separate a centred vocal from a wide
mix using the stereo image, so every separation request through the HTTP API
died with "HTDemucs prepare() sample rate mismatch: expected 44100, got 16000"
while the same call over gRPC worked. The fold is not wrong, it is
backend-specific: LocalVQE's echo cancellation genuinely wants 16 kHz mono and
needs the reference in the same shape. So it becomes a declaration,
BackendCapability.AudioTransformInputMono16k, set for localvqe and for nothing
else. A backend that declares nothing gets its upload unchanged, which means no
backend has to opt in to work. utils.AudioToWavPreservingShape is the
non-folding conversion: a 16-bit PCM WAV passes through byte for byte at any
rate and channel count, anything else is transcoded to WAV with its rate and
channel layout kept.

The other defect is that the run-once stem design bought nothing. A separation
backend writes every stem beside dst from one inference, but AudioTransformResult
carried only dst, so the other three were files no caller could find and a
caller wanting all four had to run four separations. AudioTransformResult grows
a repeated AudioTransformStem, the backend fills it, core/backend validates that
each path really is inside the generated-content directory it handed over, and
the endpoint publishes them as an X-Audio-Stems JSON header beside the existing
X-Audio-Input-Url. JSON because a stem name is the model's own string and could
contain any separator a hand-rolled format would use.

Verified end to end through the HTTP endpoint with htdemucs f16 on a 44.1 kHz
stereo file: 200 with a 44.1 kHz stereo body, all four stems named and fetchable
through /generated-audio/, body byte identical to the selected stem, and
params[stem]=drums returning a different one. The same upload sent to a model
whose backend is localvqe still reaches the backend as 16 kHz mono, confirmed
both by the engine's own rate refusal and by the persisted input file.

* fix(audio-transform): reject extensible WAV from the passthrough, escape stem URLs, convert stems with dst

Four fixes from the second review, plus one bug they made visible.

isPCM16Wav tested only the bit depth, and go-audio's IsValidFile never looks at
the format tag, so a 16-bit WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE (0xFFFE) upload was passed
through untouched where the old fold would have transcoded it. audio.cpp's WAV
reader accepts 16-bit only when the tag is 1, so such a file died with
"unsupported WAV encoding". Extensible is what many DAWs and Windows tools
write and music files are this endpoint's new headline input, so it is a
first-contact failure rather than a corner. The check now requires tag 1, with a
spec that fails against the old implementation.

Stem URLs are percent-escaped. A stem name is the model's own string and legally
contains a space, a '#', a '?' or a '%'; an unescaped '#' truncates the URL
before the request is even sent. The name field keeps the raw name.

sample_rate and response_format are applied to the stems as well as to dst.
Applying beat documenting: dst IS one of those stems, so leaving them alone
broke the "dst duplicates the selected stem" invariant the whole design rests
on, and both conversions are no-ops when unset. A stem whose conversion fails is
dropped from the header rather than advertised in the wrong shape.

Verifying that turned up why it had never been noticed: the two fields were
never bound at all. The request arrives as multipart/form-data and echo's binder
falls back to the FIELD NAME without a form tag, matching only
case-insensitively, so "SampleRate" never matched "sample_rate" and "Format"
never matched "response_format". Both were documented in the endpoint table and
silently ignored. Two form tags fix it, and with them the conversion is
observable end to end.

Docs: audio-transform.md now documents what LocalAI does to an upload before the
backend sees it, which backend gets the 16 kHz mono fold and why, params[stem],
and the X-Audio-Stems header with a worked example.

Also records the known limitation that the fold lookup is on the bare backend
name, so pinned variants (vulkan-localvqe) do not match, and points at
IsLlamaCppBackend as the suffix-tolerant precedent.

* backend(audio-cpp): serve the TTS and SoundGeneration RPCs

TTSRequest.voice is treated as a speaker reference clip when it names an
existing regular file, which makes routing prefer VoiceCloning, and as a named
preset otherwise, in which case it travels as VoiceReference::cached_voice_id.
Both the clip and SoundGenerationRequest.src are read at the file's own rate and
channel count: upstream's own CLI and server do exactly that, every consuming
family resamples internally and mostly with a better resampler than ours, and
ace_step and stable_audio resample their input per channel, so a downmix here
would delete the stereo image they are built to consume.

The request builders live in their own unit rather than in grpc-server.cpp's
anonymous namespace so they can be tested; grpc-server.cpp has a main() and
cannot be linked into a test binary. The option keys are the whole point of
these functions, so each one was grepped against the pinned upstream and the
accounting is written down beside it. instructions maps to "instruct", which is
what upstream's own server maps the OpenAI field to and what qwen3_tts and
omnivoice read, and to "caption" for irodori_tts; the style tag is spelled
"instruct" too, because "instructions" is looked up nowhere. duration maps to
"duration_seconds", read by all three generation families, with the proto's own
name kept only as a forward-tolerant alias. Keys that no family reads say so.

Both handlers answer a capability refusal before taking the lane and before any
file read, so a model that cannot synthesise does not queue behind somebody
else's run to be told no.

* backend(audio-cpp): stop emitting an empty style language, and name the missing clip

StyleCondition::language was set whenever has_language() was true, with no
!empty() guard, while the language option twelve lines below had one.
core/backend/tts.go sets Language unconditionally, so has_language() is true on
every request LocalAI sends and carries "" when the caller named none. An
engaged-but-empty style language is worse than an absent one: supertonic reads
text_input->language behind its own !empty() guard and then overrides it from
style->language with no guard at all, so "" replaced its "en" default and its
tokenizer threw "invalid Supertonic language: ". Every /v1/audio/speech request
that set instructions and no language would have been an INTERNAL against a
supertonic model. A plain request never saw it, because the style condition only
exists when instructions are non-empty, which is why the chatterbox end to end
run did not catch it.

TTS also stops discarding the Route that check_can_serve already returns. A
family routed to voice cloning without a reference clip used to be refused from
inside its own prepare(), which meant an INTERNAL naming neither the RPC nor the
field to set; chatterbox advertises clon and no tts, so that was every
preset-only request to it. It is now an INVALID_ARGUMENT naming
TTSRequest.voice, answered in about 4 ms, and it cannot misfire because
has_voice_reference is what selected cloning in the first place. Reading
CapabilitySet::supports_speaker_reference to generalise this stays a follow-up.

The src read carries a written caveat rather than a family blocklist, because
ace_step's editing routes legitimately need src: setting src on a stable_audio
model corrupts the heap and aborts the process in the pinned upstream, and the
only thing keeping that off the network is that
schema.ElevenLabsSoundGenerationRequest has no field for it. Nobody reading that
Go schema would know why, so the reason is recorded where the field is read.

build_tts_shape is extracted so TTSStream cannot describe the same request
differently, and it arrived untested: two mutations of it survived until a
test_tts_shape case was added.

* backend(audio-cpp): serve the TTSStream and AudioTranscriptionStream RPCs

TTSStream leads with a streaming WAV header carrying 0xFFFFFFFF sizes, matching
the convention backend/go/vibevoice-cpp established, so an HTTP client can start
playback before the full PCM exists. Its chunks are read from
StreamEvent::named_audio_outputs and not audio_output: supertonic, omnivoice and
voxcpm2 all put their streamed audio there and leave audio_output empty until
the very end, so reading the obvious field yields a stream with no audio in it.
The finish_stream result is the family's own merged whole rather than a tail, so
it is emitted only when nothing was streamed.

Streaming transcription sends incremental deltas and degrades to a single delta
plus the final result on families that offer no streaming ASR, which is the same
message sequence with fewer deltas. The four streaming ASR families disagree on
what partial_text means: nemotron_asr, vibevoice_asr and higgs_audio_stt report
incremental fragments while voxtral_realtime reports the whole hypothesis and
reports it twice, so the reconciliation lives in one tested unit rather than in
the handler. nemotron_asr reports only through the stream event sink, and only
from inside finalize, so the audio driver installs one and clears it again
before returning: the session is cached and a sink left holding the caller's
frame is a use after free waiting for the next stream.

begin_stream is now the only implementation of the streaming state obligation,
prepare then start_stream. Streaming sessions are cached, and what clears the
previous stream is start_stream's reset; a family override that dropped it would
break every call site with no compile error, so there is one call site.

* backend(audio-cpp): keep streaming deltas on UTF-8 boundaries, refuse dtypes that abort

TranscriptStreamResponse.delta is a proto3 string, whose wire format requires
valid UTF-8. voxtral_realtime reports its hypothesis as a concatenation of raw
token BYTES (tokenizer_text.cpp:171-183), so the cumulative difference between
two consecutive reports is eventually a lone continuation byte, and the C++
runtime serializes that with only a logged warning while the Go runtime refuses
to unmarshal it: the client loses the remaining deltas AND the final_result.
Measured on a trace of a non-ASCII sentence, 11 of 31 messages failed to
unmarshal and every accented character was lost. TranscriptDeltaTracker now
holds back an incomplete trailing sequence and merges it into the next fragment;
reconcile flushes it, which it always can because the final text is complete.
The same trace now unmarshals in full with zero failures.

A streaming buffer whose float count is not a whole number of frames is refused
rather than truncated. The integer division dropped the tail floats from the fed
audio and therefore from the transcript, with no diagnostic; vibevoice_asr
refuses the same thing from the other side of the call.

A supertonic GGUF whose weights are not f32 is refused at load. It reaches
ggml_concat with mismatched operand types and ggml_abort takes the whole backend
process down on the first request, so nothing downstream can report it: the
model loads, then every request kills the process. Attributed rather than
assumed, the unary TTS path aborts identically, and upstream records that
package as untested. The refusal names the orig package and says what to run
before deleting the guard.

* backend(audio-cpp): stop a repeated lead byte from orphaning the next delta

The first UTF-8 fix closed the cumulative half only. Rule 2 discards a fragment
the known text already starts with, and when that fragment is the LEAD BYTE of a
new character it looks exactly like a repeat of an older character beginning
with the same byte. It was discarded rather than held, its continuation bytes
then arrived alone and began the next delta, and utf8_complete_prefix_length
only ever inspected the trailing sequence, so a delta invalid at the FRONT went
out whole. Through a real Go proto.Unmarshal the review's four-character repro
gave 3 deltas, 2 unmarshal failures and a lost transcript.

Reachable from the incremental families, not only from voxtral: nemotron_asr's
decoder cuts at a byte offset and vibevoice_asr's common_prefix_size compares
bytes, so both split characters. Measured over 30,000 randomized incremental
traces, 53.28% of Japanese traces and 9.52% of French ones carried at least one
delta the Go runtime refuses.

Two changes. Rule 2 no longer judges a fragment that ends mid-character, so the
lead byte is held instead of swallowed and the character survives intact; the
cost is a few duplicated bytes in a shrinking cumulative report, which no pinned
family produces. release() additionally drops leading orphan continuation bytes,
so no delta can begin mid-character whatever the rules above it decide. Losing a
byte keeps the stream alive; emitting one ends the RPC and takes the
final_result with it.

Post-fix all 60,000 traces produce zero unmarshal failures, and the cumulative
streams plus both pure-ASCII incremental streams are byte-identical to the
previous commit, so nothing changed for the families already working.

The weight-dtype allow list moves to family_gate, where it is stdlib-only and
pinned by a test rather than only by a comment. Two comment citations corrected.

* backend(audio-cpp): read only an exact repeat as a repeat, not any prefix

Rule 2 discarded any partial the known text merely started with. For a cumulative
family that is a duplicate; for an incremental family it is an ordinary short
fragment that happens to coincide with the start of the transcript, and it was
dropped, silently corrupting the text. Pure ASCII, no multi-byte character
anywhere: the fragments "pure ", "ascii ", "trans", "c", "ri", "p", "t" left the
client holding "pure ascii transcrit". Over 5,000 randomized traces per
transcript, 9.50% of pure-ASCII and 29.12% of French traces ended with the client
holding something other than final_result.text, with a 200 and no diagnostic.
Both incremental families emit fragments that small routinely, since nemotron_asr
cuts at a byte offset and vibevoice_asr at a common prefix.

Narrowing rule 2 to an exact repeat drives that to zero on all six transcripts
and changes no cumulative stream at all: 30,000 randomized cumulative traces are
byte-identical to the previous commit.

What rule 2 guarded was established from upstream rather than from its own
comment. The only duplicate any pinned family produces is voxtral_realtime's,
where process_available_stream_chunks feeds each event to the sink from inside
its loop and returns the last of the batch, so that event arrives twice with
byte-equal text. A duplicate is an exact repeat, so equality still covers it. The
case given up is a cumulative report that SHRINKS, which no pinned family can
produce: voxtral decodes a token vector that is only push_back'ed and cleared by
reset(), so within a stream it can only grow.

* backend(audio-cpp): serve the AudioTranscriptionLive RPC

The one bidirectional stream this backend serves. The client sends a
TranscriptLiveConfig, then TranscriptLiveAudio frames; the server acknowledges
with ready, emits deltas as the audio arrives, and sends final_result once the
read side closes. There is no offline fallback: live transcription has to
consume audio incrementally, so a family with no streaming ASR is refused
rather than served a batch run, which is what this RPC's Streaming-only
mode_candidates list already says.

The driver is a new sibling of run_streaming_audio, run_streaming_live, because
the audio does not exist yet: instead of slicing a buffer it pulls frames from
the caller until the read side closes. It installs the same ScopedStreamSink in
the same order, which is not optional, since nemotron_asr returns a bare event
from process_audio_chunk and reports every partial through the sink from inside
finalize(). It buffers the wire's frames up to the family's own preferred window
rather than feeding whatever size the client's audio callback produced, and it
does not call finish_stream at all when no audio arrived, because nemotron_asr
throws "finalize requires streamed audio" and an empty transcript is the
truthful answer to transcribing nothing.

Three things the handler had to get right and one it cannot:

  - The audio contract. A live request carries no samples, but nemotron_asr's
    streaming prepare() throws without an audio contract, and
    build_preparation_request derives it from TaskRequest::audio_input, so that
    field is an EMPTY buffer holding only the rate and the channel count.
  - 16 kHz or a refusal. The families express their spans in their own 16 kHz
    feature domain whatever the input was, and live frames cannot be resampled
    on the way in the way a file can, so an 8 kHz session would return
    timestamps 2x off with a 200. core/backend hardcodes 16000 anyway.
  - A mid-stream Config is refused. backend.proto calls it a decoder reset, but
    deltas already on the wire cannot be retracted, so a reset would leave the
    final text contradicting the transcript the client assembled. Ignoring the
    message would hand a client that believes it reset the decoder a transcript
    that silently continues the audio it thought it discarded.
  - The stale-route identity check cannot run here: TranscriptLiveRequest
    carries no ModelIdentity in either arm of its oneof, so snapshot_for does
    not instantiate for it. snapshot_unchecked's comment now names that as a
    second legitimate class of caller and says the fix is a proto change.

eou and eob stay false. They exist for cache-aware models that emit
end-of-utterance and end-of-backchannel tokens; audio.cpp's StreamEvent has no
equivalent signal, and a client uses eou to decide the speaker yielded the turn,
so a guess inferred from silence cuts people off mid-sentence.

The lane is held for the whole stream, which is as long as the user keeps
talking: the streaming session is stateful and cached, so a concurrent run would
interleave two callers' audio and corrupt both transcripts.

Verified against nemotron_asr over a real connection with a 14 s WAV in
512-sample frames: ready first, 59 incremental deltas with no repeated prefix,
concat(deltas) equal to final_result.text, word timestamps in nanoseconds, eou
and eob false. citrinet_asr answers UNIMPLEMENTED naming the family and listing
asr/offline. A config followed by a close returns an empty final_result rather
than hanging, and a first message that is not a config is INVALID_ARGUMENT. Two
concurrent streams both return the complete transcript.

Two cleanups on lines Task 12 touched, folded in. The DtypeAllowList terminator
is now asserted at compile time: the reported out-of-bounds read did not exist,
the single entry does terminate, but the loops have no other bound and any edit
that widened an entry would walk off the end. And the dtype guard now
short-circuits on "is there a table entry" through a new predicate rather than
on the emptiness of the description string, which would have skipped the check
on an entry with an empty allow list, i.e. on precisely the entry that refuses
every dtype.

* backend(audio-cpp): bound the lane a live stream can hold

AudioTranscriptionLive holds the model's inference lane for the whole stream,
which is correct (the streaming session is stateful and a concurrent run would
interleave two callers' audio) and newly dangerous. Every other RPC holds the
lane across compute, or across a write to a slow reader, and both of those
terminate on their own. A live stream instead blocks in a client-driven read,
and a peer that goes silent WITHOUT closing the stream never terminates
anything: the lane stays taken and every other request against that model queues
behind a client that stopped speaking.

live_watchdog is a one-shot idle timer that ends the stream when no frame has
arrived inside a window. It is standard library only, so it is unit tested
without an engine. gRPC's synchronous Read has no timeout and cannot be given
one, so the only way to unblock it is ServerContext::TryCancel, which decides
the wire status itself: the client sees CANCELLED rather than the
DEADLINE_EXCEEDED the handler returns, the reason is logged, and the lane coming
back is the point. When it fires the read loop throws rather than reporting
end-of-input, so the driver does not go on to finalize a decode nobody is
waiting for.

It is armed only after the lane is taken and disarmed as soon as the read side
closes, and both ends matter. Arming earlier would cover acquire(), which
legitimately blocks while another live stream runs, so a queued caller would be
cancelled for waiting its turn. Disarming later would cover our own decode,
where a window overrun is not a peer going quiet and cancelling would throw away
the transcript the client is waiting for.

The window is the new live_idle_timeout_ms option, 30 s by default, 0 meaning no
limit. core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime.go drives a 300 ms ticker and feeds
every tick that produced new audio while a turn is open, so 30 s of silence is a
hundred ticks that delivered nothing. It is also longer than any pause a speaker
takes mid-utterance, which is the case that must never be cut off, and
backend.proto lets one stream span many utterances, so a client that pauses
longer between them raises the option rather than discovering it.

Two smaller corrections in the same handler:

  - check_can_serve now runs BEFORE the sample rate check.
    pkg/grpc/grpcerrors/errors.go degrades to the file path on UNIMPLEMENTED and
    on nothing else, so a live-incapable model asked at a wrong rate was
    answering INVALID_ARGUMENT and costing the caller its fallback.
  - a negative sample rate is refused instead of silently becoming 16000. Zero
    still means 16000, which is what the proto documents; -1 is malformed rather
    than absent and gets the same refusal every other bad rate gets.

And one thing recorded rather than changed, at the handler: "live" here means
incremental INPUT, not low latency, and with the pinned families it does not yet
mean incremental OUTPUT either. nemotron_asr's process_audio_chunk only appends
to its buffer, so its whole decode and every delta happen inside finalize(),
after the client closes its send side. The policy-window buffering is inert for
that family and matters only for vibevoice_asr and higgs_audio_stt.

Verified on the wire with live_idle_timeout_ms:3000. A silent client acked at
371 ms and was cancelled at 3.371 s; a second live stream opened one second
later received its ack 2.37 s in, i.e. at the instant the first was cancelled,
and then transcribed successfully on the same cached session. Without the
watchdog it would still be waiting. Re-ran the live transcription (ready first,
59 incremental deltas, concat equal to the final text, word timestamps in
nanoseconds, eou and eob false), the citrinet refusal at both a right and a
wrong rate (UNIMPLEMENTED either way now), and Task 12's AudioTranscriptionStream
on nemotron_asr, which is unchanged.

Mutation testing the watchdog found a weakness in its own test: the destructor
test slept past the window inside the watched scope, so a destructor that
DETACHED the thread instead of joining it passed unnoticed. The test now uses a
window longer than the scope, which kills that mutant, and says why.

* backend(audio-cpp): refuse the unsupported RPCs with a reason

AudioEncode, AudioDecode, AudioTransformStream, AudioToAudioStream and
VoiceEmbed have no counterpart in audio.cpp's VoiceTaskKind. Each now returns
UNIMPLEMENTED naming the loaded family, what that family does support, and the
upstream limitation, instead of the generated base class's bare status. The
reasons live in a table in capability_routing.cpp so they are data rather than
literals copied into five handlers, and so a test can assert every one of them.

The five claims this was planned against were re-read at the pinned upstream
e800d435d130dc776baf6f3e6129bb62b1495c89, and one did not hold. "audio.cpp
streams tts and asr only" is false: silero_vad advertises vad with
RunMode::Streaming. The refusal stands on the narrower claim that survives, that
no family advertises streaming for any task AudioTransform routes to, and a test
asserts the refuted wording does not come back.

VoiceEmbed is the one refusal whose request carries a ModelIdentity, so it runs
the #10952 check before answering: a stale route must get NOT_FOUND and the
router's sentinel, not "audio.cpp cannot embed speakers" about a model that is
not loaded here. It cannot use snapshot_for, whose no-model branch would tell
the caller to load a model when no model can help, so it takes the reference
through snapshot_unchecked and checks identity itself. That function's comment
now names three classes of caller instead of two.

The two bidirectional surfaces refuse without reading their stream, verified
with a client that writes a config and eight frames first and gets the status
rather than hanging.

* backend(audio-cpp): correct the vevo2 clause, and assert the absences

Review found a false clause in the AudioToAudioStream refusal. It said s2s is
"offline voice conversion ... which converts one clip into another speaker's
voice", which is true of miocodec and false of vevo2: vevo2's s2s route is
`editing` and only `editing` (default_route_for_task and route_matches_task in
src/models/vevo2/session.cpp), documented as "Edit source speech into new target
text while using the target voice" and requiring --target-text, so it rewrites
what was said. vevo2's voice conversion is its separate vc task. It now reads
"offline clip-to-clip processing against a target voice, declared only by
miocodec (voice conversion) and vevo2 (speech editing)", and a test asserts the
miscast cannot come back. The conclusion is unchanged: neither family converses.

That defect was undetectable on the wire, since vevo2 does not load here, which
is the argument for upstream_absence_ctest.cpp. It links engine_runtime purely
to interrogate make_default_registry() and asserts the five premises the refusal
reasons rest on: no codec task kind, no family advertising spk, no streaming for
sep/vc/svc/s2s, miocodec advertising exactly vc and s2s, and s2s advertised by
exactly miocodec and vevo2. The last two are exact sets, so an addition fails
here rather than leaving a message stale. A positive control proves the registry
is populated and the query works before any absence is believed, and every
assertion has a reproduced negative control. This turns an AUDIO_CPP_VERSION
bump from "remember to re-read five prose paragraphs" into a test failure.

unsupported_surface now switches over UnsupportedRpc with no default label, so
-Wswitch reports a sixth enumerator added without a row at build time; the
runtime bounds guard it replaces is deleted.

The AudioTransformStream reason had a true premise and an overreaching
conclusion: an offline sep family could be buffered into a stream, as other
LocalAI backends do. It now says this backend declines to offer a buffered
offline call in disguise, rather than implying impossibility.

* backend(audio-cpp): make the missing-switch-case diagnostic fatal

unsupported_surface() switches UnsupportedRpc onto the table row that explains
it, with no default label, so -Wswitch reports an enumerator nobody handled. As
a warning that is not enough: adding a sixth enumerator and building the shipping
target gives exit 0, a binary and one warning, and the trailing
`return surfaces[0];` then answers the new RPC with AudioEncode's codec reason.
That is a confident, specific and false statement about audio.cpp on the wire, on
the one code path whose entire job is to be truthful about what this backend
cannot do, and it is worse than the runtime fallback it replaced, which at least
named itself as a bug in this file.

capability_routing.cpp therefore joins loaded_model.cpp on the existing
-Werror=switch pin, whose comment already made this argument for the engine enum.
The comment now covers both files. The pin stays per-file rather than
project-wide because upstream's own ace_step/vae_decoder.cpp has unhandled
-Wswitch cases of its own.

Verified: a sixth enumerator now fails `make grpc-server` with exit 2 and no
binary; appending a 14th VoiceTaskKind upstream still fails loaded_model.cpp, so
the two pins fire independently; both reverted clean.

* backend(audio-cpp): package the backend image

Bundles the dependency closure for the from-scratch image, the dlopened ggml
CPU-variant shared objects that ldd cannot see, and upstream's bundled
silero_vad and marblenet_vad assets so VAD works with no download.

The bundled loader sits in the package ROOT rather than at lib/ld.so. run.sh
execs it, which makes /proc/self/exe name the loader, and this backend has two
consumers of that path: ggml discovers the libggml-cpu-*.so by listing
dirname(/proc/self/exe), and resolve_model_path expands bundled:<name> under the
same directory. Rooting the loader makes the binary, the ggml objects and
assets/ share the one directory all three resolution mechanisms agree on.
llama-cpp's lib/ld.so layout would need assets/ moved into lib/ as well.

The image builds against apt gRPC and protobuf, like Dockerfile.ds4 and unlike
Dockerfile.privacy-filter. The from-source gRPC that install-base-deps.sh and
the base-grpc-* images supply vendors protobuf 26, which pulls abseil into
message_lite.h; with SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER=package that collides with
sentencepiece's vendored mini-abseil and every absl::internal reference becomes
ambiguous. Noble's protobuf 3.21.12 predates the abseil dependency and is the
pair every earlier verification of this backend ran against.

* backend(audio-cpp): exempt the driver libraries from the packaging gate

package.sh already left libcuda.so* and libnvidia-* to the host when copying,
because the driver has to match the kernel module on whatever host runs the
image, but the validation gate had no matching exemption. With BUILD_TYPE=cublas
ggml is static and links CUDA::cuda_driver, so grpc-server carries DT_NEEDED
libcuda.so.1 and the gate would have rejected the very absence the copy loop
created, failing every cublas build in CI. One regex now feeds both.

Building a control for that found a second defect: ld.so --list refuses to trace
an object with an unresolvable dependency at all, exiting 127 without emitting a
per-library line, so the "=> not found" rule was dead code and no exemption could
have applied to it. The gate now traces with LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which reports the missing name and exits 0, and which is also
what run.sh does at run time.

Adds a layout assertion so a future move of the loader into lib/ fails the build
instead of shipping a package that resolves bundled: models into lib/assets and
finds no ggml CPU backend, and records for Task 16 that the Darwin script must
not be a straight copy of privacy-filter-darwin.sh, which never calls package.sh
and would silently drop assets/.

* backend(audio-cpp): register the backend with CI and the gallery

Adds the five Linux matrix entries (cpu amd64/arm64 sharing a tag-suffix so the
manifest merge fires, cuda 12, cuda 13, vulkan), the path-filter case that keeps
later PRs touching backend/cpp/audio-cpp/ from getting zero CI jobs, the
bump-bot entry pointing at the AUDIO_CPP_VERSION pin in the backend Makefile,
the gallery meta plus its -development variant and the image entries for every
variant, and the Makefile docker-build wiring.

The matrix entries carry base-image only, with no builder-base-image, unlike
the llama-cpp and privacy-filter blocks they sit next to. The prebuilt
quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:base-grpc-* images ship a from-source gRPC whose
protobuf v26 depends on abseil, and this backend's sentencepiece is built with
SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER=package, so it sees real abseil's absl::lts_20240116::
internal alongside its own vendored plain absl::internal and every
absl::internal:: reference becomes ambiguous. Building against base-grpc-amd64
fails at sentencepiece-static.dir/error.cc.o with "reference to 'internal' is
ambiguous". Dockerfile.audio-cpp installs apt's gRPC/protobuf 3.21.12 itself,
which is also the pair every unit and end-to-end run of this backend has been
verified against, and the CUDA toolkit therefore has to come from base-image.

No Darwin matrix entry and no metal gallery entries: the Metal build needs
scripts/build/audio-cpp-darwin.sh, a backends/audio-cpp-darwin make target and
a routing step in backend_build_darwin.yml, none of which exist yet, so an
entry added now would be routed to build-darwin-go-backend and look for
backend/go/audio-cpp/. The inferBackendPathDarwin case and the
DARWIN_BESPOKE_BUILDERS membership are in place, inert, so that adding the
entry later is a one-line change that cannot be claimed by the generic Go path.

* backend(audio-cpp): pin the CUDA architectures, drop the vulkan variant

Upstream sets CUDA_ARCHITECTURES to `native` on the engine_runtime target
whenever CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES is unset at root scope, and docs/build/
linux.md says so outright. ggml's own default does not rescue it: it
list(APPEND)s in the ggml subdirectory scope, which never reaches the root
scope where the engine_runtime property is decided. No CI runner has a GPU for
`native` to enumerate, so both cublas entries would have gone red on the very
commit that first turns a CUDA build on.

Pin the list in backend/cpp/audio-cpp/Makefile, selected by CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION,
which Dockerfile.audio-cpp now forwards from the CI build-arg it was previously
discarding. The values are copied from ggml's own version guards rather than
invented, so engine_runtime and ggml compile for the same set: CUDA 12 keeps the
Maxwell/Pascal/Volta virtual archs and stops at 120a-real, CUDA 13 drops them
and adds 121a-real. The `a` suffix is used rather than `f` because the latter
needs CMake 3.31.8 and Ubuntu Noble ships 3.28.3. Verified by driving CMake
3.28.3's own CUDA architecture validator over both lists, with 120f-virtual as
the rejected control.

Drop the vulkan matrix entry, its two gallery entries, the vulkan capability
key on both metas and the Vulkan tag. Every other vulkan backend gets its Mesa
ICD drivers from .docker/install-base-deps.sh, which package-gpu-libs.sh then
bundles; Dockerfile.audio-cpp calls neither and installs only libvulkan-dev and
glslc, so the image would ship a Vulkan loader that finds no GPU. No CI job runs
a vulkan image against real hardware, so that would have passed green and failed
in users' hands. BUILD_TYPE=vulkan stays supported for local builds.

Also note on the cublas entries that cuda-major-version now selects the
architecture list and that cuda-minor-version and the base-image tag encode the
same toolkit, and correct the stale entry counts on matrixEntryKey.

* backend(audio-cpp): build for Darwin Metal

Bespoke C++ Darwin path like ds4 and privacy-filter: an includeDarwin matrix
entry, a backends/audio-cpp-darwin make target, a gated workflow step, and the
metal image entries plus metal/metal-darwin-arm64 capability keys in the
backend gallery.

The build script deliberately does NOT reassemble the package the way
privacy-filter-darwin.sh does. It runs the backend's own `make package` and
copies the result, so the Darwin package keeps the root-level layout the Linux
one has: grpc-server, run.sh, the ggml objects and assets/ in one directory,
with lib/ for the dylib closure. Hand-assembling would drop assets/, and
assets/ is what makes the bundled: model paths resolve with nothing downloaded.
The dylib walk is a full transitive closure rather than the single level ds4
and llama-cpp do, because Homebrew's grpc++ pulls libgrpc, abseil, upb, cares
and OpenSSL that grpc-server does not link itself, and a level-1 walk ships a
package that only works on a machine that already has Homebrew grpc.

Two fixes folded in, both in the backend Makefile:

  - an EMPTY CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION fell through to the CUDA 12 architecture list,
    which contains 120a-real and so needs nvcc >= 12.8. A local
    BUILD_TYPE=cublas build on a 12.0-12.7 host failed to compile where
    upstream's documented default (native) worked. EMPTY now maps to native,
    12 and 13 keep their lists, and any other non-empty value is an error on
    cublas builds. CI always passes a major, so CI is unaffected.

  - the Darwin branch now points CMake at Homebrew's keg-only libomp. AppleClang
    ships no OpenMP runtime and nothing is symlinked into /opt/homebrew, so
    FindOpenMP finds neither the library nor the header, and audio.cpp calls
    find_package(OpenMP REQUIRED) whenever ENGINE_ENABLE_OPENMP is on. Without
    the hint the macOS build would have died at configure time. If the keg is
    absent the build disables OpenMP instead of failing.

* backend(audio-cpp): make the Darwin fallbacks loud and the rpath walk complete

Review follow-up on the Darwin Metal build.

The OpenMP fallback was silent. If brew --prefix libomp ever comes back empty,
CI produced a green Metal package with 108 #pragma omp directives across ~30
files compiled out, and clang says nothing about an ignored omp pragma without
-Wsource-uses-openmp, so the only trace was one absent flag inside a set -x
cmake line. That regression would have been blamed on Metal. It now warns.

The @rpath arm of the dylib walk had no live candidate when it was written, on
the reasoning that a Metal build links ggml statically. The OpenMP fix in the
same commit made libomp.dylib one, and whether Homebrew records it as an
absolute opt path or as @rpath/libomp.dylib is not observable from Linux. The
walk now expands @rpath, @loader_path and @executable_path against the object's
own LC_RPATH entries, and only fails when nothing on disk answers, printing the
rpath list with the error so a failure on a machine nobody can attach to
explains itself.

Also: ADDITIONAL_LIBS now go through the closure rather than a bare cp, so they
are deduplicated and their own dependencies bundled; build/darwin/lib is
created explicitly instead of relying on package.sh pre-creating it; the libomp
probe uses nested ifneq rather than $(and ...), which needs GNU make 3.81 and
would otherwise expand empty and take the OFF branch on an older make; and
-DOpenMP_ROOT is quoted like its CUDA sibling.

Verified with a Linux harness that runs the script verbatim against a stubbed
otool: a level-2 transitive dep, an @rpath dep reachable only through LC_RPATH,
and an ADDITIONAL_LIBS dep are all bundled, a dependency cycle terminates,
system libraries are skipped, the packaged tree has assets/ at the root beside
grpc-server with the dylibs in lib/, and both failure paths exit non-zero.

* backend(audio-cpp): make bundled: reachable from a model YAML

resolve_model_path() tested the bundled: prefix on `candidate`, which prefers
ModelFile and falls back to Model. LocalAI fills ModelFile by joining ModelPath
onto the configured model string (pkg/model/loader.go, LoadModelWithFile), and
only sets it from a managed artifact otherwise, so a model YAML saying
`model: bundled:silero_vad` arrives as ModelFile "/models/bundled:silero_vad"
and Model "bundled:silero_vad". The prefix therefore never matched through the
normal load path: it matched only for a hand-written LoadModel call that left
ModelFile empty, which is exactly how task 15 verified it, and every model YAML
using the form failed with "model path does not exist:
/models/bundled:silero_vad".

Both fields are now checked, Model first, so the zero-download VAD path the
package ships assets for is reachable the way it is documented. A caller that
puts the form in ModelFile still works, so task 15's verification stands.

Compiled clean; the runtime check could not run on this host, whose system
libprotobuf/libre2 have gone missing (the pre-existing grpc-server binary no
longer resolves its libraries either), so it wants a container run.

hosts thirty families, so there is no honest auto-detect signal. Modality is a
single string and the import form chips on a fixed key set, so it registers as
tts with the other modalities named in the description rather than under an
invented key the UI would bucket as "other".

Adds a features page covering the option namespacing, the routing table per
endpoint, the RPCs this backend declines and why, the bundled VAD path, the
separation stem behaviour, and the family gotchas (supertonic needs the orig
package; chatterbox advertises cloning and no plain tts; nemotron_asr defers
its whole decode to finalize so live transcription emits nothing until the
client half-closes, unlike higgs_audio_stt and voxtral_realtime). Every option
name and family capability in it was read off the pinned upstream checkout.

* backend(audio-cpp): test resolve_model_path, and correct the family names

The bundled: fix in 842443cd7 shipped without a test, which is how the bug got
there: task 15 verified the form with a hand-written LoadModel that left
ModelFile empty, and that is the one shape the server never produces. Four cases
in streaming_driver_ctest, which already links loaded_model.cpp, pin the
PRODUCTION shapes instead. The first fails against the pre-fix source (returns
the joined /models/bundled:silero_vad); the other three are the branches the
bundled: lookup now runs in front of and must fall through for.

Three family names in the docs were the source directory rather than the
registered family, on pages whose whole argument is that these names cannot be
guessed: demucs is htdemucs (demucs/loader.cpp:22), roformer is
mel_band_roformer (roformer/assets.h:15), and moss is TWO families,
moss_tts_local and moss_tts_nano. The hyphenated ASR names are underscored to
match, here and in the compatibility table.

The supertonic dtype note claimed more than the evidence carries. The f16 abort
is a local observation, identical through TTS and TTSStream; upstream's
docs/gguf.md leaves the 16-bit column untested and records q8_0 as "No
(unsupported weight dtype)", which says unusable rather than fatal. Both are
still refused, because the allow list is what the family can run. Corrected in
family_gate.h, family_gate.cpp and the docs together, since the docs inherited
the wording from the code.

The importers tripwire says in the file that it is a tripwire: it exercises no
audio-cpp behaviour, and the registration assertion lives in backend_test.go.

* gallery: add audio.cpp models covering every served RPC

One representative model per RPC group of the audio-cpp backend, plus the two
bundled VAD models, which need no download at all because the assets ship
inside the backend package.

Every hash was computed with sha256sum on the downloaded file. Quantizations
come from upstream's tested-status table in docs/gguf.md rather than a default
of q8_0: supertonic ships the orig package (its q8_0 is recorded as an
unsupported weight dtype and its f16 aborts in ggml_concat), and nemotron_asr
and htdemucs ship f16 because their q8_0 builds are recorded with drift while
16-bit is a clean pass.

Diarization and separation use the diarization and audio_transform usecases,
not transcript: /v1/audio/diarization and /audio/transform filter the default
model on FLAG_DIARIZATION and FLAG_AUDIO_TRANSFORM respectively, so a
transcript flag would have hidden both models from their own endpoints. The
forced aligner sets parameters.language, which the transcription endpoint uses
as the fallback when no language form field is sent, because the family
requires both a transcript and a language.

All ten entries were run twice: once against the raw gRPC server, and once
installed with local-ai models install and called through the HTTP endpoint.

* gallery: correct the audio.cpp entries' licenses

Swept all ten entries against the real upstream named in audio.cpp's
tools/model_manager.py rather than against the audio.cpp repo's own license.
Three were wrong:

  supertonic   apache-2.0 -> openrail      weights come from
                                           mlx-community/supertonic-3-mlx, and
                                           both it and Supertone/supertonic are
                                           openrail
  citrinet     apache-2.0 -> other         pulled from NGC
                                           nvidia/nemo/stt_en_citrinet_256,
                                           governed by the NGC Terms of Use
  sortformer   other -> cc-by-nc-4.0       nvidia/diar_sortformer_4spk-v1 is
                                           CC BY-NC 4.0, and the gallery already
                                           uses that exact string, so there is no
                                           reason to obscure a non-commercial bar

The license field is one word, so citrinet and sortformer also gained a
sentence saying why they are restricted. The other seven were confirmed
correct against their sources.

Also drops an unverified claim from the nemotron description. It said the
model drives the realtime transcription session; that endpoint actually calls
TranscribeStream, and the live RPC reaches LocalAI only through
realtime_semantic_vad.go. Neither path was exercised here, so the description
now states only the two calls that were.

MarbleNet gains the NeMo upstream under urls: for parity with silero.

No sha256, quantization, usecase or model choice changed.

* fix(audio-transform): bound sample_rate, keep same-named uploads apart

Four defects the whole-branch review found on the Go side, plus two comment
corrections.

sample_rate is a disk-exhaustion hazard. The branch added the `form:` tag that
makes the field bind for the first time, so the resample path went from dead to
live, and utils.AudioResample interpolates the int straight into ffmpeg's -ar
with no bound. Measured with ffmpeg 7: -ar 999999999 on a 0.01 s clip writes
20 MB and exits 0, which scales linearly to the reported 3.9 GB for one second,
into a GeneratedContentDir nothing sweeps, and convertStems repeats it once per
separation stem. Clamped to 8000..192000 in the handler, before the temp dir and
before the model is touched, and rejected with a 400 outside it.

The low end was reported as "a 0-byte file". It is not: -ar 1 writes a 78-byte
header with no audio behind it, whose declared data size still claims 70 bytes,
so go-audio parses it as a 35 SECOND file and a size check does not see it. The
guard therefore compares the declared data chunk against the bytes actually on
disk, and AudioResample now fails rather than returning a WAV carrying nothing.

Both parts of a transform request land in one temp dir, and the raw copy was
named only after the client's basename, so `-F audio=@mic/clip.wav
-F reference=@loopback/clip.wav` wrote "raw-clip.wav" twice. Since
AudioToWavPreservingShape hardlinks an already-PCM16 WAV rather than copying it,
the reference part's os.Create truncated the inode audio.wav pointed at: mic and
reference came out identical, which makes an echo canceller null everything and
return near-silence with a 200. The raw copy now carries the form field name.

audio-cpp had no BackendCapabilities entry, so VoiceCloningForModel returned nil
before it ever consulted the model's tts.voice_cloning override and every
`voice: "profile:<id>"` request was refused with a 400, on a backend that ships
audio-cpp-chatterbox whose family serves cloning and not plain TTS. Registered
with its RPCs, usecases and the reference-audio contract, and deliberately
without the 16 kHz mono fold, which its separation families cannot survive.

GetBackendCapability was exact-match only, so every pinned gallery variant read
as an unknown backend: vulkan-localvqe lost the 16 kHz mono fold that used to be
unconditional and started failing inside LocalVQE, and the usecase gate does not
stand in for it because BuildFilteredFirstAvailableDefaultModel returns early
once the client names a model. Lookup now falls back to the meta name by
stripping the gallery's hardware prefix and release-channel suffix, exact match
first so nothing can be shadowed. Same class as #10945.

Also corrected: the AudioTransformRequest comment claimed echo's binder falls
back to the field name, which it does not in either direction (bindData binds
ONLY tagged fields and `continue`s otherwise; `model` arrives from
setModelNameFromRequest's c.FormValue). And the stable_audio `src` heap
corruption caveat now lives on ElevenLabsSoundGenerationRequest, where the Go
developer who would add the field can see it, instead of only in C++.

* fix(audio-cpp): refuse a task pin the RPC cannot serve, and stop empty frames holding the lane

The model's `task:` option is copied into the request shape by all nine
handlers, which is correct, but resolve_route then replaced the RPC's candidate
list with the pin WHOLESALE and never asked whether the pin was something that
RPC routes to. One pin therefore bled across all nine surfaces, and because the
family still supported the pinned task the result was a wrong 200 rather than an
error. Reproduced live: nemotron with task:asr made Vad return 200 with zero
segments after a full ASR decode, so 14 seconds of speech was reported as
silence, and Diarize did the same; silero_vad with task:vad made
AudioTranscription return 200 with empty text and four segments whose spans were
VAD segments, which combined with response_format in {text,srt,vtt,lrc} building
the body solely from Segments[].Text yields a well formed SRT of four timed
EMPTY cues. It also contradicted the documented contract, that a family which
cannot serve a request is refused rather than rerouted.

A pin is now checked against the RPC's admissible task set before it is adopted,
and the refusal names both the pin and the RPC. The set is derived from
task_candidates with every shape flag set rather than restated, so a task added
to an RPC's candidates cannot become inadmissible by omission. Every legitimate
pin survives, and the test asserts all fifteen of them alongside the eight
crossings that must not.

The live watchdog was defeated by empty frames. idle.touch() ran on ANY message,
before the has_audio and pcm.empty() filters, so a peer writing unset-oneof or
zero-length frames faster than the window held the lane indefinitely while
feeding the decoder nothing. There is one lane per model and one model per
process, so that is a single client denying the whole backend, which is what the
watchdog exists to prevent, and the thrown text already said "no audio frame
arrived". The touch moved below the filters, which are now a named predicate so
the distinction is testable rather than a call order nobody can see.

Three comments corrected against measurement rather than reasoning:

- CMakeLists claimed zero google::protobuf:: definitions remain in the
  executable. nm -C --defined-only reports 2515, and that is expected: they are
  generated code, sentencepiece::ModelProto's own _InternalParse among them. The
  claim that holds, and the one the ABI fix is actually about, is that no
  vendored protobuf RUNTIME is linked and ParseContext::ParseMessage is
  UNDEFINED in the executable, resolving to libprotobuf.so.
- refuse_cloning_without_a_clip's "cannot misfire" paragraph had its reasoning
  backwards. Routing picks VoiceCloning as the FALLBACK when there is no clip,
  which is the case being caught; chatterbox, which ships in the gallery,
  advertises clon and no tts at all, so every voice-less request lands there.
- audio_units read "2.1 min at 96 kHz" for index 11289602, which is 1.96 min.
  2.1 min is 96 kHz's OWN first failure at 12288002. Both were remeasured and
  the note is now a per-rate table.

* build(audio-cpp): exclude the upstream checkout from the C++ gate, harden the darwin walk

run-unit-tests.sh pruned */llama.cpp/* but not */audio.cpp/*. It is safe today
only by luck: upstream's 44 tests all put "test" at the FRONT of the filename
(17 test-*.cpp, 27 test_*.cpp, zero *_test.cpp), so the glob misses every one of
them, and nothing enforces that. This gate runs on every PR for every backend
and compiles each match as a standalone translation unit with nothing but
nlohmann/json on the include path, so the day upstream adds or renames one test
the gate goes red repo-wide on an Apache-2.0 file nobody here wrote.

audio-cpp-darwin.sh now logs the raw otool -L output and the parsed LC_RPATH
list unconditionally, before the walk. Both awk filters in that script assume a
column layout nobody working on this can observe, since it runs only on the CI
Mac, and a green first Darwin run proves nothing about the assumption: an awk
that silently matched nothing yields an empty dependency list, which reads
exactly like "no non-system dependencies" and packages happily. Both filters
otherwise feed process substitutions, so their input never reached the log.

It also lists every symlink in the package and fails on one that cannot resolve
inside the image. A dangling link does not fail anything else here, because
every assertion tests with -e, which follows links; it fails at dlopen on a
user's Mac. Links are NOT banned outright, which the review suggested but which
would break the libggml.dylib -> libggml.0.dylib chain the `cp -a` above exists
to preserve. What is banned is a link that resolves on the build host and will
not resolve in the image: a broken one, or an absolute one pointing outside the
package.

* fix(config): key the voice-cloning model rule on the resolved backend

Making GetBackendCapability strip the gallery hardware prefix and release
channel fixed pinned variants of /audio/transform, but VoiceCloningForModel
kept keying its per-backend switch on the caller's spelling. A pinned name
therefore resolved the capability by stripping and then missed every case in
the switch, falling through to the permissive default: cuda12-vibevoice-cpp
advertised voice cloning for the realtime 0.5B model, metal-coqui for
tacotron2, cuda12-crispasr for a pure ASR model, cpu-qwen3-tts-cpp for
CustomVoice. Each of those is a model that cannot clone, so /v1/audio/speech
accepted a profile: voice it had to fail on inside the backend rather than
rejecting it with a 400, and the UI advertised the capability too.

resolveBackendCapability now returns the key the entry was found under, and
callers that branch on backend identity use that key instead of the name they
were handed. The exact-match-first order is unchanged, so a backend genuinely
registered under a variant-looking name still keys on its own name.

* gallery(audio-cpp): declare audio_transform on the chatterbox entry

Chatterbox advertises VoiceCloning AND VoiceConversion
(src/models/chatterbox), and the entry's own description already said so, but
known_usecases listed only tts. /audio/transform selects its default model by
FLAG_AUDIO_TRANSFORM, so voice conversion was reachable only by naming the
model explicitly and was invisible to every usecase-driven surface. It is the
one audio.cpp task with a shipped gallery model and no way to find it.

Verified against the real model rather than inferred from the capability list:
AudioTransform with chatterbox-q8_0, speech as audio_path and a speaker clip
as reference_path, returns a 5.08 s 24 kHz mono WAV at -25.5 dB mean and zero
stems, which is the single-output shape voice conversion should have.

The description now says which endpoint reaches that half and warns that
installing this next to a source-separation model gives /audio/transform two
candidates, so the model should be named rather than defaulted.

* gallery(audio-cpp): add voice-design and singing-voice-conversion entries

Two of the three audio.cpp task kinds that had no gallery model now have one.
Both were driven end to end against the real weights through the backend
before being written, not inferred from the capability tables.

audio-cpp-irodori-voicedesign covers vdes. TTS carrying `instructions` routes
to the vdes task, so the voice is described in words rather than supplied as a
clip. Verified: "a calm elderly woman speaking slowly with a warm, gentle
tone" over an 8.76 s 48 kHz mono render at -16.8 dB mean, and a closed-loop
citrinet pass recovers the sentence with the accent drift expected from a
Japanese-first model read by an English recogniser.

audio-cpp-seedvc-singing covers svc, and pins task:svc because nothing else
can reach it. seed_vc advertises svc and ordinary voice conversion, no request
signal means "this input is singing", and auto-routing resolves the tie to
voice conversion every time. Verified with the pin: 5.04 s 44.1 kHz output
whose closed-loop citrinet transcription is exact.

s2s deliberately has no entry, and the reason is not effort. miocodec is the
only upstream family whose speech-to-speech route needs no text, and it
returned audio with correct duration and level but no recoverable speech in
four independent attempts: the stale build, v2 q8_0, v2 orig (the variant
upstream records as a clean Pass), both tasks, and matched 44.1 kHz inputs on
both sides. vevo2's route refuses with "Vevo2 text/prosody route requires
text_input or target_text", and session.cpp:897 fills target_text only from
request.text_input, which AudioTransform has no field to carry. The same
vevo2 weights convert voice correctly through the default route with an exact
ASR round trip, so the model and the plumbing are both healthy; it is the s2s
route specifically that this RPC cannot express.

* backend(audio-cpp): carry transform text through params, add the s2s entry

AudioTransform is audio-in / audio-out and its proto message has no text
field, but not every task it routes to is audio-only. vevo2's speech-to-speech
route is a text and prosody route: session.cpp:897 fills refs.target_text from
request.text_input and nowhere else, and the run refuses without one with
"Vevo2 text/prosody route requires text_input or target_text". The params map
is the only channel this RPC has that reaches the engine, so the text travels
through it and apply_transform_text_input unpacks it after the params have
been copied into task.options.

Before this, s2s was not awkward to reach through /audio/transform, it was
unreachable, and it was the last audio.cpp task kind with a real model and no
way to get to it.

target_text is canonical and text is its alias, the order vevo2's own option
table declares them in, so a request setting both gets the canonical one
rather than whichever the map happened to store first. An empty value falls
through to the next candidate instead of ending the search. language rides
along only when a text was found: on its own it conditions nothing, and
manufacturing a text_input for it would route a plain separation request
carrying a language hint through the text path. The keys are left in
task.options rather than erased, because vevo2's loader advertises target_text
as a request option and a family reading it there keeps working.

Nine tests, all confirmed failing on behaviour against a stub that returned
false before the implementation was written. Verified end to end afterwards:
vevo2-q8_0 with task:s2s and params[text] returns a 5.12 s 24 kHz output whose
closed-loop citrinet transcription is exact, and htdemucs separation with no
text param still returns its four stems, with and without params[stem].

audio-cpp-vevo2-speech-to-speech ships that route. Every audio.cpp task kind
with a loadable family now has a gallery entry; spk remains the only gap and
has no family upstream at all.

* docs(audio-cpp): document params[text] and the pinned transform tasks

The text channel and the two task pins are both invisible from the endpoint
contract alone: nothing in the AudioTransform form tells a reader that a
speech-to-speech model needs the line it is resynthesising, and nothing says
that asking for singing voice conversion without task:svc silently gets plain
voice conversion instead. Both are the kind of thing a user only discovers
from a refusal or, worse, from output that looks right and is not.

* fix(utils): annotate the two G304 sites this branch introduced

gosec flags os.Open on a variable path, and both new call sites in ffmpeg.go

path is a server-created temp file named from path.Base of the client name so
no traversal survives, and wavAudioBytes opens AudioResample's own dst, a name
this package derives from src and has just had ffmpeg write.

Annotated in the repo's existing style rather than restructured, with the
reason spelled out, because a bare suppression is worth nothing to the next
reader. The three other G304 sites in this file, in passthroughWAV and

* fix(audio-cpp): build arm64 with gcc-14 for the armv9.2 SME variants

The arm64 CPU image failed to build:

  cc1: error: invalid feature modifier 'sme' in
       '-march=armv9.2-a+dotprod+fp16+sve+i8mm+sve2+sme'

ggml's CPU_ALL_VARIANTS table includes armv9.2 variants compiled with +sme, and
Ubuntu Noble's default gcc-13 rejects that feature modifier. Every entry in the
table has to compile even though a host only ever dlopens the one its own CPU
supports, so a single unbuildable variant fails the whole image. gcc-14 accepts
it, which is exactly the fix llama-cpp already carries in
.docker/llama-cpp-compile.sh; this is the same problem reached by a different
Dockerfile.

Applied to every arm64 BUILD_TYPE rather than to the CPU one alone, and that
differs from llama-cpp on purpose. llama-cpp needs it only for its pure-CPU
image because its GPU builds run llama-cpp-fallback, which builds no variant
table. This backend's Makefile turns ENGINE_ENABLE_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS on for
every non-Darwin build, GPU included, so an arm64 GPU image would hit the
identical error. The matrix has no arm64 GPU entry today, which is precisely
why gating on an empty BUILD_TYPE would leave the trap armed for whoever adds
the first one.

  glb dst, seed/step/cfg_scale/texture_steps, quality and background
  enums, params map for backend-specific extras)
- pkg/grpc: thread Generate3D through client, server, embed, base and

  wrappers (in-flight tracking + file staging) included
- core/config: FLAG_3D usecase (guessed only for the trellis2cpp
  backend), '3d' canonical usecase string mapped to the Generate3D
  method, and a '3d' output modality
- REST: POST /v1/3d/generations (+ unversioned alias) returning
  OpenAIResponse with a /generated-3d URL or b64_json; conditioning
  image accepted as URL, base64, or data URI; quality/background
  validated at the edge; .glb served as model/gltf-binary

Wraps localai-org/trellis2cpp (C++/GGML port of Microsoft TRELLIS.2,
pbr-textures branch) as a Go+purego backend, following the
stablediffusion-ggml pattern:

- backend/go/trellis2cpp: purego bindings to the flat C ABI (v9,
  asserted at startup), eager pipeline load with model-set validation
  (refuses non-trellis GGUFs; degrades coarse/geometry-only/textured
  exactly like the upstream demo), Generate3D via t2_generate +
  t2_bake_glb writing a binary glTF to dst. Weight-free unit tests
  cover resolution/validation/param mapping — CI never downloads the
  multi-GB GGUF set or runs inference.
- CPU SIMD variants build into per-variant directories (the shared
  libggml sonames collide across variants, unlike sd-ggml's flat
  renamed-.so scheme); run.sh picks one via /proc/cpuinfo.
- CI wiring: backend-matrix entries (cpu, cuda12/13, vulkan
  amd64+arm64, l4t, l4t-cuda13, darwin metal), index.yaml meta +
  latest/master image entries, bump_deps tracking of the pbr-textures
  branch, changed-backends.js mapping, top-level Makefile targets.
- Importer: auto-detects trellis GGUF repos/URIs (registered before
  llama-cpp so the .gguf match isn't stolen) and expands any trellis
  URI to the full 10-file component set spanning the three LocalAI-io
  HF repos.
- Gallery: trellis2-4b (full PBR + 1024 cascade) and
  trellis2-4b-geometry (512 untextured) with verified sha256s.

  renderer (quaternion trackball, metallic-roughness PBR, ACES,
  hidden-line wireframe with a bounded index budget) and pairs it with
  a minimal GLB parser for the two forms t2_bake_glb emits — dense
  vertex-PBR (linear COLOR_0 + _METALLIC_ROUGHNESS, uploaded as
  normalized integers) and the opt-in UV-atlas textured form. Parsing
  happens before any GL so stats and errors render without WebGL2.
- use3DHistory stores past generations (params, input thumbnail, and
  the GLB blob itself) in IndexedDB with keep-newest-20 eviction —
  GLBs are multi-MB binaries localStorage can't hold — and the page
  offers a download button for the active GLB.
- Wiring: CAP_3D capability constant (FLAG_3D — the exact string
  /api/models/capabilities serves), threeDApi, router entries, Studio
  tab, vite dev proxy, en locale keys.
- e2e: render-smoke entry plus a focused spec that feeds a real
  one-triangle vertex-PBR GLB through the parser/viewer and exercises
  IndexedDB persistence, selection, deletion, and API errors.

* fix(tts): forward the OpenAI speed field to the backend (#11097)

/v1/audio/speech accepted the documented OpenAI `speed` field and then
dropped it: schema.TTSRequest had no Speed member, so the value never
reached proto.TTSRequest and the request returned 200 with an unchanged
playback rate.

Accept speed and normalise it into the existing per-request params map,
which core/backend forwards verbatim to the backend. An explicit
params["speed"] still wins, and a value outside the documented 0.25-4.0
range is now rejected with 400 instead of being silently ignored.

* fix(gallery): key meta pin recall on the installed name and detach resolved entries

Six review findings on the meta-entry install path.

Pin recall was keyed on the gallery entry name while applyModel writes the
record under the install name (req.Name when supplied), so a meta installed
under a custom name with a pin lost that pin on reinstall and was silently
re-resolved onto a different variant, possibly swapping its backend. Compute
the install name with applyModel's own precedence before the recall.

ResolveMetaModel returned a shallow struct copy, so the resolved entry's
Overrides aliased the gallery entry's map and the install path's in-place
mergo merge wrote the caller's request into the shared catalog. Detach
Overrides, ConfigFile, AdditionalFiles, URLs and Tags. Not exploitable today
only because this path re-unmarshals the gallery per call, which is a
property nobody should have to rely on.

Also: overlay the meta's name onto the persisted config for meta installs so
the gallery file no longer records the variant's name; move the pinned-VRAM
warning below the variant validation so a pin naming a nonexistent entry does
not warn about VRAM before failing for an unrelated reason; and stop seeding
config.URLs in the config_file branch, which duplicated every declared URL.

Add seven network-free specs driving InstallModelFromGallery with a meta
entry: variant payload wins over the meta's legacy url fallback, the
resolution record round-trips to disk, a pin is recorded and honored on
reinstall including under a custom install name, and the resolved entry does
not alias the gallery's maps.

* fix(gallery): deep-copy meta overrides and make two specs functional

ResolveMetaModel detached the resolved entry's Overrides and ConfigFile with
maps.Clone, which only copies the top level. Gallery overrides are nested in
practice (parameters.model is near-universal) and the install path merges the
caller's request with mergo.WithOverride, which recurses into nested maps and
overwrites them in place, so the gallery entry's own inner maps were still
reachable and still got rewritten by the last caller to install.

Copy both maps all the way down instead, recursing through the container shapes
a YAML decoder produces. ConfigFile is not mutated on the install path today,
but it carries the same kind of nested payload and leaving it shallowly cloned
would invite the bug back.

Also fix two specs that passed whether or not their target fix was present:

- "does not write the caller's overrides back into the gallery entry" re-read
  the catalog from disk, which re-unmarshals fresh structs and so cannot
  observe in-memory aliasing. It now asserts against the in-memory gallery
  entry and drives the real mergo merge.
- "round-trips the resolution record to disk under the meta's name" asserted a
  name that is already correct in the config_file branch. It now drives the url
  branch via a file:// fixture, where the meta-name overlay actually applies.

Both were verified red by reverting their fix.

* test(gallery): lint meta model entry invariants in index.yaml

Adds Ginkgo specs that parse the shipped gallery/index.yaml and enforce
the invariants that keep meta entries safe: a legacy url fallback equal
to the final candidate's url, references only to existing non-meta
entries, a min_vram floor on every candidate but the last-resort one,
a capability drawn only from the vocabulary the system can report, and
descending VRAM floors within a capability group.

The capability check is the only compensating control for a typo there.
Candidate matching is a case-sensitive exact comparison against
SystemState.DetectedCapability(), so an unknown value never matches and
falls through silently instead of erroring. The vocabulary therefore
mirrors the raw return set of getSystemCapabilities(), which notably
excludes "cpu": that is a fallback key inside Capability(capMap) on the
meta backend path, never a reported capability. A CPU-only host reports
"default".

These pass vacuously until the pilot meta entry lands; the guard is
intentionally in place before the thing it guards.

* test(gallery): close coverage gaps in the meta entry lint

The ordering invariant grouped candidates by capability and asserted floors
descend within a group. A candidate with an EMPTY capability matches every
host, so it does not belong in its own group: it dominates every later
candidate whose floor is at or above its own, across capability groups.
Track a running minimum floor over the unconditional candidates instead,
which subsumes the old same-group check for the empty capability.

Every spec skipped non-meta entries, so with zero meta entries in the index
all five bodies were no-ops. Aligning GalleryModel.IsMeta() with
GalleryBackend.IsMeta(), whose semantics are deliberately opposite, would
have made all of them pass while checking nothing. Extract each invariant
into a helper over a slice of entries returning the violations it finds, and
cover those helpers with synthetic fixtures so the logic stays tested at zero
meta entries. The index-driven specs are now a thin application of already
proven logic.

Also assert the index parses non-empty, report every violation in one run
rather than aborting on the first, and parse the index once for the suite.

* ci(gallery): add nightly denormalization of meta model candidates

Fills the read-only backend, quantization and inferred_min_vram fields on
meta gallery candidates and opens a PR, modeled on the existing
checksum_checker job. Computing these needs network access, so it happens
nightly rather than at install time.

An authored min_vram is never modified: a human who measured a real load
knows more than a pre-download estimate does.

The index is rewritten via yaml.Node rather than a document round-trip. A
full round-trip reflows all ~26k lines of gallery/index.yaml, which would
bury the computed values and make the nightly PR unreviewable. The rewrite
touches only the three derived keys, so authored styling survives and a run
that computes nothing leaves the file untouched.

* fix(ci): keep the gallery denormalize diff reviewable and self-healing

The nightly denormalization job edits YAML nodes instead of round-tripping
structs so its PR stays small enough for a human to review, but the write
path undid that: yaml.Marshal re-encoded the node tree at yaml.v3's default
4-space indent and dropped the leading document marker, reflowing roughly
6000 lines around the handful of real changes. Encode through
yaml.NewEncoder at the index's authored 2-space indent and restore the
header. A write that changes three fields now changes three lines.

Stale inferred_min_vram values were also never cleared. Both skip paths
(an authored min_vram is present, or the candidate is the last resort)
returned before touching the field, so a candidate that gained a floor or
became the last resort after a reorder kept an inferred value that
EffectiveMinVRAM reported as a real constraint, failing the meta lint with
no way for the job to self-heal. Clear the field before both skips.

The workflow discarded a whole night's work on any single failure: the
program exits 1 when a candidate cannot be estimated, which aborted the job
before the PR step, so one unreachable candidate blocked every other
refresh indefinitely. Capture the status, open the PR with what was
computed, mark the PR body as partial, and fail the run afterwards so the
problem still surfaces.

Also preserve the index's existing file mode instead of forcing 0644, and
drop the redundant //go:build ignore tag, since Go already skips dot
directories and the sibling modelslist.go carries no tag.

* feat(gallery): add nanbeige4.1-3b meta entry with hardware-resolved variants

Adds the first real meta entry to the gallery index. It resolves to the
Q8_0 build on hosts with at least 6GiB of VRAM and to the Q4_K_M build
everywhere else, installing either payload under the stable name
nanbeige4.1-3b.

The entry carries a url equal to its final candidate's url. LocalAI
releases that predate candidates support parse the index non-strictly
and drop the key silently, so without that url they would list the entry
and install nothing. A regression spec parses the index the way those
releases do and asserts every meta entry stays installable for them.

Also teaches core/schema/gallery-model.schema.json about candidates. The
schema sets additionalProperties: false at the top level, so an author
following CONTRIBUTING.md and adding the yaml-language-server comment
would otherwise get a validation error on this entry.

* feat(gallery): make candidate entries complete, installable entries

Reworks hardware-resolved gallery variants after a design pivot. There is no
longer a separate "meta" entry kind. A gallery entry is a normal, complete
entry that may additionally carry candidates:, a list of hardware-gated
upgrades over itself, and the entry is itself the last-resort candidate.

The previous design relied on a bare url: as the fallback for LocalAI releases
that predate candidates support. That fallback is empty in practice: none of
the 80 gallery/*.yaml files carry a top-level files:, and 1216 of 1281 index
entries carry their payload in the index entry itself, so a url alone yields a
config template with nothing to download. Since every released LocalAI reads
gallery/index.yaml live from master, merging a payload-less entry would have
shown every existing user a model that installs to a broken state. Making the
entry its own base candidate removes the problem at the root: old clients drop
the candidates key and install the entry exactly as they do today.

Resolution order is now explicit pin, then capability plus VRAM over the
declared upgrades, then the entry itself. The entry ALWAYS installs: when its
own min_vram or capability is unmet the installer warns and installs it
anyway, because there is nothing below it and refusing would make the gallery
behave worse the newer the client is. A pin naming the entry's own name is
valid and is how an operator declines an upgrade.

IsMeta() becomes HasCandidates(), ResolveMetaModel becomes ResolveVariant, and
the persisted meta_name record key becomes entry_name. GalleryBackend.IsMeta()
is a separate concept and is untouched.

The lint drops the three rules the pivot makes wrong (url equality with the
final candidate, no inline payload, unconstrained final candidate) and gains
one: the entry's own floor must sit strictly below every candidate's, since a
base that outranks a candidate makes that candidate unreachable.

The pilot entry is now the existing nanbeige4.1-3b-q4, which gains a 2GiB
floor of its own and a single 6GiB upgrade to nanbeige4.1-3b-q8, replacing the
separate nanbeige4.1-3b entry added in d0d441bb4.

* feat(gallery): select model variants by hardware fit, not authored order

Gallery entries could already carry a list of alternatives, but selection was
an authored, ordered, first-match policy: every candidate declared a
`capability` string and the VRAM floors had to descend in a hand-tuned order.
That pushed hardware knowledge onto whoever edits the gallery and made ordering
load-bearing, so a reordered list silently changed what users installed.

None of it was necessary. SystemState.IsBackendCompatible already derives
hardware support from a backend name alone: it knows MLX and metal are
Darwin-only, CUDA is NVIDIA-only, ROCm AMD-only, SYCL Intel-only. Selection can
read that instead of asking authors to restate it.

Authoring is now just a list of names:

    - name: qwen3.6-27b
      min_memory: 4GiB
      variants:
        - model: qwen3.6-27b-mlx-8bit
        - model: qwen3.6-27b-gguf-q8
          min_memory: 28GiB

and all the intelligence moved into the selector. Given a host it drops the
variants whose backend cannot run here, drops those whose known memory
requirement exceeds what the host has, and takes the LARGEST of what is left,
because a bigger footprint is a higher quality quantization of the same model.
A variant of unknown size is kept, since nothing proves it does not fit, but it
ranks last so a proven fit always beats a guess. An explicit pin still wins
outright, and if nothing survives the entry installs its own payload: the base
always installs, this never refuses.

Available memory is VRAM when a GPU was detected and system RAM otherwise, read
through xsysinfo so a cgroup limit is honored and a container gets its own
limit rather than the node's RAM.

Capability disappears entirely, from the types, the schema and the lint. VRAM
and RAM collapse into one `min_memory`, because a model's footprint is roughly
the same wherever it lives and one figure is compared against whichever applies.
The lint rules about ordering, the capability vocabulary and floor
relationships are deleted with the hazards they described; what remains is that
every variant names an entry that exists and does not itself declare variants,
plus that any memory figure actually parses.

* gallery: size model variants with a live probe, drop the nightly denormalizer

Selection needs each variant's size to decide whether it fits and to rank
largest-first. That figure was written into the index by a nightly job, which
made the gallery carry a derived value that could drift from the entry it was
derived from. Derive it at install time instead.

pkg/vram already sizes a model without downloading it, and the gallery UI
already uses it: a remote GGUF header range-fetch, then an HTTP HEAD for the
content length, then any declared size:. It caches its results, so reuse it
rather than writing a second probing path.

A probe failure must never fail an install, so an unprobeable variant is
treated as unknown: it survives the memory filter, because nothing proves it
does not fit, and it ranks last, so a known-good fit always beats a guess. If
every probe fails, selection still terminates on the base entry.

The probe is injected through ResolveEnv rather than called directly, for the
same reason the backend compatibility check is: specs pin an exact size, or an
exact failure, without reaching the network.

With that in place three things are dead weight and go:

- The nightly job and the fields it populated. Variant.Backend was redundant
  because the backend is resolved live from the referenced entry during
  selection, and Quantization was display-only that nothing read.
- min_memory on the base entry. The base always installs and its floor could
  only warn, so it could not change any outcome.
- The lint rules and schema entries for both.

min_memory on individual variants stays, as the override for when the probed
size is wrong. An authored figure now suppresses the probe entirely rather
than merely outranking it, so it costs no round trip.

* feat(gallery): expose model variants for selection over API, CLI and MCP

A gallery entry may carry `variants:`, alternative builds of the same model.
Selection already worked at install time, but nothing could see what an entry
offered or ask for a specific build, so the feature was undrivable.

Listing: `GET /api/models` now reports `variants` and `auto_variant` for the
entries that declare variants. Each variant carries its resolved backend, its
measured size and whether it fits this host. `auto_variant` is what installing
without a choice would pick right now.

The new gallery.DescribeVariants runs the same variantOptions + SelectVariant
pass the installer runs, so the reported default cannot drift from what
installing actually does, and HostResolveEnv is extracted so both derive the
host and share pkg/vram's probe cache from one place.

Performance: an entry that declares no variants returns early without touching
the probe, so the ~1280 ordinary entries cost exactly what they cost before.

Selection: `variant` is accepted on POST /models/apply, as a query param on
POST /api/models/install/:id, on the gallery apply file/string request, as
`local-ai models install --variant`, and as a parameter on the install_model
MCP tool (both the httpapi and inproc clients). Empty means auto-select.

An unknown variant name now fails the install naming what was requested. This
closes a real hole: an entry declaring no variants short-circuits before
selection runs, so a requested variant was previously dropped silently and the
install reported success.

startup.InstallModels ends in a variadic model list, so install options could
not be appended to it; InstallModelsWithOptions is added alongside and
InstallModels delegates to it. No caller signature changed.

* feat(gallery): drop the redundant variant min_memory field

Variant.MinMemory was an authored override for when the live probe misreads
a variant's footprint. It duplicated an existing field: probeEntryMemory
already passes the entry's declared size: into EstimateModelMultiContext,
whose cascade prefers that declared size over its own guesswork. Correcting
size: on the referenced entry fixes the figure for every consumer rather
than only for variant selection, so min_memory shadowed the right answer.

A variant is now nothing but a name. Its effective size is exactly the probe
result, and an unknown stays unknown: it survives the filter and ranks last.

EffectiveMemory loses its error return along with the field. The authored
string was the only thing that could fail to parse, so the error had no
remaining source and was propagating dead nil-checks through SelectVariant,
DescribeVariants and the pin warning.

Selection behaviour is unchanged. The specs covering probe-derived sizing,
ranking, filtering, the unknown-size path, pin recall, entry/variant
metadata split and deep-copy isolation all survive; the three install specs
that needed a definite size now declare it through the referenced entry's
own size:, which exercises the documented escape hatch directly.

gallery/index.yaml is untouched: no entry ever carried the key.

* fix(gallery): rank the entry's own build against its variants

Variant selection pulled the declaring entry's own payload, the base, out
of the candidate set and consulted it only once every declared variant had
been rejected. Two real failures followed.

A variant whose size the probe cannot determine deliberately survives the
memory filter, because nothing proves it does not fit. As the only survivor
it then won outright on any host, however small: a 2GiB machine installed an
unmeasured variant in preference to the 4GiB build the entry itself ships,
with no warning. 241 of the 1280 current index entries carry no files and no
size, which is exactly that shape.

"Largest wins" also broke whenever the base was the largest. An author
writing a Q8 entry that offers a Q4 downgrade for small hosts, a natural
shape that nothing in the lint, schema or docs discourages, had the Q4
installed on every large host instead.

Make the base an ordinary participant. It is still exempt from both filters,
so selection always terminates on something installable, but it is now
ranked against the variants: a proven fit first and largest, then the base,
then any variant whose size nothing could measure. Both failures disappear
together. The base is probed for its size accordingly, which it was not
before, because an unsized base would lose every contest to an unmeasurable
variant.

FellBackToBase is kept but narrowed to "no declared variant survived",
rather than "the base was chosen", since the base now also wins on merit and
that is not worth warning about.

A recalled variant pin also became a permanent install failure. A pin the
caller supplies on this request must stay fatal, but one recalled from
._gallery_<name>.yaml can be invalidated by any later gallery edit, and
failing on it turned one rename into a model that could never be reinstalled
or upgraded again short of deleting a dotfile the user has never heard of.
A stale recalled pin is now dropped with a warning naming it, and selection
runs as if it had never been recorded.

Also drop the last textual reference to two abandoned designs from the
DetectedCapability comment, correct the documented variants JSON example,
which showed a memory_bytes of 0 that omitempty makes impossible, and remove
an em dash from the install skill.

* fix(gallery): budget variant memory from RAM when a GPU reports no VRAM

Variant selection read its memory budget from VRAM whenever a GPU
capability was detected, and from system RAM only when none was. Apple
Silicon satisfies the first branch and fails the premise: arm64 macs report
the metal capability unconditionally, without probing anything, while
TotalAvailableVRAM has no discrete VRAM pool to find and returns zero. The
budget therefore came out as zero on every Mac.

Zero drops every variant carrying a known size, so the base build was
installed on all of them however much memory the machine had. The feature
was inert on the platform, and silently: falling back to the base is a
legitimate outcome, so nothing looked wrong.

Take VRAM only when it is actually a number, and fall back to RAM
otherwise. On a unified-memory host RAM is not an approximation of the
budget, it is the budget, since the GPU shares it. A discrete GPU whose
VRAM could not be read also lands on RAM, which overstates what the card
holds but understates nothing the host has; the previous zero understated
both.

An unreadable RAM figure still yields zero and still installs the base, so
a genuinely unknown host is not talked into a larger download.

This is what turned tests-apple red: "installs a fitting variant's payload
under the entry's own name" asserts on selection, and the runner resolved
to the base because its budget was zero. The added specs pin the branch
directly rather than relying on a macOS runner to notice again.

* feat(ui): add a model variant picker to the models gallery

PR #10943 shipped the server side: a gallery entry may declare `variants:`,
`GET /api/models` attaches `variants` and `auto_variant` to declaring
entries, and `POST /api/models/install/:id` accepts a `variant` query
parameter. Nothing in the UI consumed any of it, so the feature was not
reachable from the browser. This wires it up.

modelsApi.install takes an optional second argument and appends an encoded
`?variant=` only when one is given, so every existing call site keeps
sending exactly the request it sent before.

On the models table, an entry that declares variants gets a split button.
The primary Install still installs the auto-selected build, because auto is
the default and the point of the feature; the chevron opens a menu for a
deliberate override. It follows the Backends.jsx precedent: one shared
Popover re-anchored per row, rendering .action-menu items, which brings
Escape, outside-click and focus return along with it. An entry that
declares no variants renders exactly as it did before.

A variant that does not fit is dimmed but stays selectable, since the server
honors an explicit choice with a warning rather than refusing it.

memory_bytes is omitempty on the wire, so an absent key means the size is
unknown and never zero. A single helper guards both the menu and the detail
row, because formatBytes would otherwise render a falsy value as "0 B",
which reads as "needs nothing".

The expanded detail row gains a Variants section listing each build's
backend, size, whether it fits, which is the entry's own build, and which
one auto-selection would pick, built from the existing DetailRow helper and
.badge classes.

Eight Playwright specs cover the picker, including that plain Install sends
no variant parameter and that choosing one sends it. One pre-existing
assertion was scoped with .first(): the Variants section legitimately adds
more llama-cpp badges to the detail row, which tripped strict mode.

UI line coverage 49.42% -> 49.36% against a 40.0 baseline and 0.8pp
tolerance; branch coverage rose 72.04% -> 72.66%.

Variant description probes each referenced entry's weight files over the
network: an HTTP HEAD plus a ranged GET, serial, five seconds per probe
with no aggregate deadline. Running it inline in GET /api/models made one
listing cost (entries x variants) round trips. The Manage page fetches
with items=9999, so at 200 declaring entries that is ~1000 serial probes,
minutes of a blocked handler and gigabytes of range traffic for a single
page load. Only one entry declares variants today, but the feature exists
so that many will.

Follow the precedent already set for VRAM estimates. The listing now
reports only has_variants, a length check on loaded metadata that touches
nothing, and GET /api/models/variants/:id returns the description for one
entry, mirroring estimate/:id in route shape, auth and error handling.
DescribeVariants itself is unchanged; only its caller moved.

The picker fetches lazily at the two points where a user asks to see
variants, opening the split-button menu and expanding the detail row, and
caches per entry for the page session. An entry declaring no variants
issues no request at all.

A spec counts real HTTP hits on the weight files, so it goes red if
description becomes reachable from the listing path again through any
caller.

* feat(ui): filter the model gallery to entries that declare variants

The gallery is heading towards showing parent entries and hiding the
individual builds they reference, so a user sees one row per model
rather than six quantizations of it.

Adoption is a single entry today, so defaulting to that would leave a
one-row gallery. This ships the migration-phase inverse instead: the
default is untouched, and a toggle narrows the list to only the entries
that declare variants. It previews the end state and changes nothing
until someone asks for it.

The filter is server-side, next to term/tag/backend/capability and above
the pagination arithmetic. The listing paginates at 9 items, so
narrowing on the client would leave totalPages and availableModels
describing the unfiltered set and hand the user empty pages. It selects
on HasVariants(), which reads already-loaded metadata, so it issues no
variant probes.

The parameter is named has_variants after the listing field it selects
on, and is compared against "true" like the other boolean query params
(all_users, save_checkpoint), so has_variants=false reads as absent.
With it omitted the response is byte-for-byte what it was before.

The control is the shared Toggle component, matching the fitsFilter
toggle already on this page: same wrapper class, same icon and label
shape, same localStorage persistence. Unlike fitsFilter it resets to
page 1 on change, which a server-side filter has to do.

Stacking the toggle with a tag or backend filter easily yields nothing
while one entry declares variants, so the empty state now names the
variants filter as the cause rather than leaving a user to conclude the
gallery is broken.

* fix(ui): render gallery model descriptions as Markdown

Gallery descriptions are Markdown, but the React UI dumped them raw, so a
model whose description opens with an ATX heading showed a literal
"# Qwen3.6-27B [](https://chat.qwen.ai)" in the list.

Full-description areas now render through renderMarkdown (marked +
DOMPurify), matching how Backends.jsx and the Manage detail panels already
handle the same content:

  - Models.jsx expanded detail row
  - VoiceLibrary.jsx voice detail header

The truncated one-line previews must not render block Markdown: a leading
"#" would become an <h1> and wreck the row height and rhythm. They get a new
stripMarkdown() helper instead, which reduces Markdown to a single line of
readable plain text. It is used for the cell text and for the title tooltip,
since a tooltip full of "[](url)" is no better than a cell full of it:

  - Models.jsx gallery table description cell
  - Manage.jsx model and backend resource-row descriptions

stripMarkdown walks marked's lexer output rather than running regexes over
the source, so what it strips is by construction what renderMarkdown would
have rendered, and it needs no new dependency. Output lands in JSX text
nodes, so React escapes it; no new dangerouslySetInnerHTML beyond the two
full-description sites, both of which run DOMPurify.

* fix(ui): strip Markdown from the backends table description cell

Commit b35d630cf fixed this for gallery models but left the Backends admin
page with the same asymmetry: its detail panel renders the description
through renderMarkdown, while the collapsed table row dumped the raw gallery
string into both the cell body and the title tooltip.

That is user-visible. 40 of the 949 entries in backend/index.yaml carry
Markdown - insightface uses inline code backticks, others use lists and
links - and backend descriptions also contain embedded newlines, so the
one-line cell showed literal syntax.

The cell now runs stripMarkdown over the description once and uses the
result for the text and the title, matching Models.jsx and the
ResourceRowDesc component in Manage.jsx. The '-' placeholder is preserved,
and now also fires when a description reduces to nothing after stripping.
The detail panel is untouched and no new dangerouslySetInnerHTML is
introduced: stripMarkdown output lands in a JSX text node, so React escapes
it.

Three Playwright specs cover it: a description with a heading, inline code
and a link renders as clean text with no literal syntax and no block
element in the cell, the title tooltip carries the same stripped text, and
a backend without a description still shows the placeholder.

* ui(models): polish the variant detail view and scope rendered Markdown

The gallery detail pane rendered every field through the same two-column
label/value row, including the description. Multi-paragraph prose in a value
cell ran eight rows tall at the top of the pane on a ~1200px measure, breaking
the grid's rhythm exactly where the eye enters. Move it into its own full-width
block above the table, capped at a 68ch measure, keeping the label.

Rendered Markdown had no scoped typography anywhere in the app, so a
description opening with `#` inherited the browser default 2em inside a 13px
surface while a `##` further down was indistinguishable from body text. Add a
reusable .markdown-body block mapping h1-h6, paragraphs, lists, links, code,
blockquotes, images and tables onto the existing type scale, and apply it to
every renderMarkdown() consumer: the models detail, the backends detail, both
Manage details and the voice library detail.

Rebalance the variants list so the name leads. Backend and size drop from
badge/secondary weight to muted metadata; the FITS badge goes entirely, since
it was true of nearly every row and so said nothing, while the variant that
does not fit keeps a warning badge and a dimmed name. AUTO-SELECTED stays
marked because it answers what a plain Install produces. Rows share the
parent's grid tracks via subgrid so name, backend, size and status line up
down the list instead of raggedly following name length.

Finally, make each variant row actionable. It looked like a list of choices
but was inert text, with per-variant install hidden behind the split-button
chevron elsewhere; each row is now a button onto the existing
handleInstall(modelId, variant) path, with hover, keyboard focus and a
disabled state while an install is in flight.

* feat(gallery): collapse the listing to one row per model

The listing supported has_variants=true, which narrowed to entries that
DECLARE variants. With adoption at three entries that showed three rows,
which is useless; it was always a placeholder.

Replace it with the view that is actually useful: the deduplicated
gallery. Show every entry installable in its own right and nothing twice,
which means the parents plus every entry nobody references, and hide only
the builds another entry already offers as a variant, since those are
reachable through their parent.

The parameter is renamed to collapse_variants accordingly: the filter is
no longer a predicate on a row's own metadata but a view over the whole
gallery. Default stays off, so the response with the parameter absent is
unchanged.

VariantReferencedIDs never reports an entry that declares variants of its
own, so parents are always visible. That guarantees every hidden entry
has a visible entry offering it, and no chain can strand a row. Variant
resolution already refuses to install such a reference, but the listing
has to stay coherent in the presence of a gallery that has one rather
than silently swallowing entries. Self-references and dangling references
hide nothing.

The referenced set is computed over the whole gallery rather than over
what the other filters left, so an entry is hidden because a parent
offers it and never because of what the user searched for. The pass is
over metadata already in memory: it resolves nothing over the network and
triggers no variant description or size probe, so the listing's zero-probe
contract still holds.

The UI toggle keeps its behaviour (persistence, page reset, clear
filters) and becomes "One row per model", which says what the user gets.
Its localStorage key moves too, since the stored value meant a different
filter.

* feat(ui): show the collapsed model listing by default

The gallery listing is what a user reaches for to answer "what can I
install". Answering that with several rows for the same model, one per
build, makes the reader do the deduplication the collapsed view already
does, so the collapsed view is the one to land on.

The UI now asks for collapse_variants=true unless the toggle says
otherwise. The server default is deliberately untouched: a request with
the parameter absent still returns the full listing, because other API
clients depend on that response and collapsing it under them would be a
breaking change. Opting out omits the parameter rather than sending
false, so it asks for exactly the listing everyone else gets.

The stored preference changes vocabulary from '1'/'0' to 'on'/'off'. The
previous build wrote it from an effect that runs on mount, so a stored
'0' recorded that the page had been opened rather than that anyone chose
the expanded view, and honouring it would pin every earlier visitor to a
default they never picked. Only the new vocabulary counts as a choice;
a legacy '1' meant the collapsed view and is what the new default gives
anyway, so no earlier deliberate choice is lost.

Collapsing being the default also changes what the empty state may say
about it. An opted-into filter can be named as the cause of an empty
result; a default cannot, so the filters keep the top line and the
collapsed view drops to a hint below it, shown only once filters are
narrowing the set. For the same reason "Clear filters" now restores the
collapsed default instead of switching it off, and the toggle alone no
longer counts as a filter worth offering to clear.

The label stays "One row per model": it describes the view the user is
looking at rather than an action, so it reads the same whether it is
opted into or out of.

* gallery: group alternative builds of the same weights under variants

Sweep the gallery for entries that are alternative builds of the same
weights (different quantization, precision, or runtime format) and declare
them as variants of a single parent row, so the listing offers one row per
model instead of one row per quantization and the installer picks the
largest build that this host can actually run.

41 families over 95 entries, turning 54 entries into variants.

The parent is the bare-named entry wherever one exists, so nothing changes
about what any existing entry installs. Ranking already selects the largest
fitting build regardless of which entry is nominally the parent, so the
parent only decides the pathological case where nothing fits. For the ten
families that have no bare-named entry, the smallest build is the parent,
since that is the one that has to install when nothing fits.

Grouping was verified against the actual model filenames rather than the
entry names alone. Different parameter sizes, languages, finetunes, and
products that merely share a name prefix are left as separate rows: the
qwen3.6 APEX and pi-tune finetunes, the DFlash and MTP speculative-decoding
pairings, English-only versus multilingual Whisper, the QAT versus non-QAT
Gemma 4 weights, and the abliterated FLUX build are all distinct models.

Six parents define YAML anchors that other entries pull in with a merge key,
which would have handed their variants to every merging child. For the two
depth-anything anchors that would have made fourteen unrelated entries
advertise the base model's builds as their own. All 26 merging children
therefore carry an explicit empty variants list, which overrides the merged
key and is equivalent to the key being absent.

* feat(gallery): rank model variants by host backend preference

Variant auto-selection filtered candidates by whether their backend can
run on the host, then ranked the survivors by size alone. The backend
never influenced the choice beyond that gate, so a Mac offered both an
MLX build and a llama.cpp build kept neither filtered and installed
whichever was larger, leaving the native accelerated runtime unused. The
same held for CUDA against CPU on NVIDIA and ROCm against Vulkan on AMD.

Rank by the host's backend preference between the fit tier and size: fit
stays a filter, preference decides among the builds the host can equally
hold, and size still separates builds on equally preferred runtimes.

The preference data stays in one declarative table in pkg/system, now
read by a prefix lookup instead of a switch, so adding a capability or
reordering one host's runtimes is a one-line edit and the gallery's
ranking code carries no per-backend branching. MLX joins the metal rule
ahead of metal itself, which is inert for the existing alias-resolution
consumer because no alias group holds a candidate named for mlx.

An unrecognised backend, an unrecognised capability and an absent
preference list all collapse to the previous size-only ordering rather
than erroring or dropping candidates.

* fix(gallery): rank variants by engine name, not backend build tag

Variant auto-selection ranked candidates with
SystemState.BackendPreferenceTokens, but that function and the variant
ranker speak different vocabularies.

BackendPreferenceTokens returns BUILD TAGS ("cuda", "rocm", "sycl",
"vulkan", "metal", "cpu"). It exists to match installed backend build
directory names like "llama-cpp-cuda-12" during alias resolution in
ListSystemBackends. Variant ranking instead matches a gallery entry's
`backend:` value, which is an ENGINE NAME: "llama-cpp", "vllm",
"vllm-omni", "sglang", "mlx" and the rest. No engine name in
gallery/index.yaml contains "cuda", "rocm", "sycl" or "vulkan".

preferenceRank matches by substring, so on an NVIDIA host the tokens
[cuda, vulkan, cpu] matched neither "llama-cpp" nor "vllm", every
candidate scored identically and size alone decided. The NVIDIA, AMD,
Intel, darwin-x86 and vulkan rules were all inert. Only metal appeared
to work, and only because the token "mlx" happens to equal an engine
name. The mismatch does not error, it silently deletes the feature.

Separate the two vocabularies. backendBuildTagPreferenceRules keeps the
build tags and its original output for every capability, including
metal, whose "mlx" token is removed again; its alias-resolution consumer
is byte-identical to before. engineNamePreferenceRules is new, holds
engine names, and is read by the new EnginePreferenceTokens, which
HostResolveEnv wires into the renamed ResolveEnv.EnginePreference. Both
tables sit adjacent under one block comment naming each vocabulary and
each consumer, and share one lookup helper so their semantics cannot
drift.

On NVIDIA the order is vLLM, then SGLang, then llama-cpp: vLLM is the
throughput engine and a model published with a vLLM build is published
that way because that build is the one worth running. AMD and Intel get
the same order, since rocm and intel builds of both serving engines
ship. Metal prefers mlx over llama-cpp. Vulkan prefers llama-cpp, the
only LLM engine with a Vulkan build. darwin-x86 and unknown
capabilities are deliberately absent rather than guessed at, degrading
to the size-only ordering that predates preference.

preferenceRank stays generic and names no engine and no capability, so
adding a runtime remains a one-line table edit.

Specs pin the NVIDIA and metal rules through the live table and the real
HostResolveEnv wiring, so emptying the engine table or wiring the build
tag source back in both go red. A regression table asserts
BackendPreferenceTokens' original output per capability, and mirrored
locks assert neither table carries the other's vocabulary.

* docs: record that variant selection ranks by engine before size

A gallery entry can now declare variants, and selection ranks the builds a
host can run by engine preference before size. Nothing told a contributor
adding a backend that engineNamePreferenceRules exists, so a new engine would
silently rank below every known one and lose to whatever build happened to be
larger on hosts where it should have won.

Document the step where a backend is added, warn against the sibling
backendBuildTagPreferenceRules table (build tags, not engine names: the wrong
table matches nothing, scores every candidate equally and disables the
preference without erroring), and index it from AGENTS.md.

Fix the authoring and user docs, which still claimed the largest surviving
build wins. An author grouping builds under one entry has to be able to
predict what a user gets, and size alone no longer decides it.

wrong thing.

* fix(gallery): prefer llama.cpp over GPU serving engines on hosts with no GPU

engineNamePreferenceRules had no row for the "default" capability, which
getSystemCapabilities() returns both when no GPU is detected and when a GPU
is present but under the 4 GiB VRAM floor. A missing row yields an empty
preference list, which preferenceRank reads as "score everything equally",
collapsing variant selection to size alone.

That would be harmless if the hardware filter dropped GPU serving engines on
such a host, but it does not. IsBackendCompatible derives support from the
engine NAME, and "vllm" and "sglang" contain none of the darwin, cuda, rocm
or sycl tokens it keys on, so they fall through to its closing "return true".
A vLLM variant therefore survives on a CPU-only box and wins whenever its
build is the larger of the two on offer: the machine installs vLLM in
preference to llama.cpp.

darwin-x86 had the identical hole. It was documented as a deliberate omission
because nothing accelerates on an Intel Mac, which is true about acceleration
and wrong about consequence: with every engine tied, download size decides.

Add rows for both putting llama-cpp first. The GPU engines are enumerated
behind it rather than left unmatched: an unmatched engine already ranks below
every listed one, so llama.cpp would win either way, but unmatched engines
also tie with each other and let size decide among them. Naming them fixes
that order. MLX is left off the darwin-x86 row on purpose so it ranks last,
since IsBackendCompatible admits darwin-tokened engines on that capability
even though MLX needs Apple silicon.

Preference orders survivors and never filters, so a model published only as a
vLLM build is still installed on a host with no GPU; there is a spec for it.

Surveyed every other value getSystemCapabilities() can return. nvidia, amd,
intel and vulkan have rows; the l4t and cuda-refined values reach the nvidia
row by prefix; "apple" and "" cannot reach the vendor fallthrough because the
darwin and no-GPU branches return earlier. default and darwin-x86 were the
only live holes.

BackendPreferenceTokens and its build-tag table are untouched, and
preferenceRank stays generic, naming no engine and no capability.

* gallery: prefer speculative-decoding builds when they fit

Rank serving features between engine preference and size, so a host that can
hold a DFlash or MTP build of a model's weights installs it instead of the
plain build. Both answer faster for the same output, so whenever one survives
the filters there is no reason to take the plain build.

Precedence is now fit, then engine, then serving feature, then size. Engine
outranks the feature deliberately: a serving feature makes the right engine
faster, it does not make a wrong engine right, so a plain vLLM build still
beats a DFlash llama.cpp build on NVIDIA. Fit outranks both, and a drafter
pairing is strictly larger than the plain build, so the existing size filter
drops it on a host too small for it before this axis is consulted.

The order lives in a third preference table in pkg/system, alongside the build
tag and engine name tables. It is the odd one of the three: not keyed by
capability, because no hardware prefers a plain build over an equivalent
faster one, and matched against whole segments of a gallery ENTRY NAME rather
than as a substring of a backend value. Nothing on a gallery entry declares a
serving feature, and tags are not a usable substitute: gemma-4-e2b-it:sglang-mtp
carries an mtp tag while ornith-1.0-9b-mtp and qwen3.6-27b-nvfp4-mtp carry
none. Entry names are author-supplied free text, unlike the closed engine
vocabulary, so a short marker can turn up inside an unrelated word and whole
segment matching is what keeps smtp-assistant from ranking as an MTP build.
The block comment over the tables now documents all three together and states
what each is matched against; the ranking code names no feature, so adding one
stays a one-line edit to the table.

29c49203b rejected these entries as serving configurations rather than
alternative builds of the same weights. The definition is now "alternative ways
to serve the same model", which includes them, so regroup 14 entries under 12
parents. Judged by the files each entry points at: the qwen3.6, qwen3.5, qwen3
and deepseek pairings are the base GGUF plus a drafter, the gemma-4 QAT MTP
entries are the same QAT weights at a different quantization plus an MTP
drafter, and the two sglang MTP entries describe themselves as the same model
served with speculative decoding. Left separate: qwen3.6-27b-mtp-pi-tune, a
finetune with its own weights, and every entry whose base model LocalAI does
not ship as its own row, which is the whole Qwopus line plus gemmable-4-12b-mtp,
mimo-7b-mtp:sglang and qwen3.5-4b-dflash.

None of the twelve parents defines a YAML anchor, so no variants key can leak
through a merge key and no empty override was needed this time. The index was
edited by line insertion only.

* feat(gallery): make the mtp tag authoritative for serving-feature ranking

Variant auto-selection ranks survivors by fit, then engine, then serving
feature, then size. The serving-feature lookup read only whole alphanumeric
segments of a variant's entry name, because tags were inconsistent: every
dflash entry carried a dflash tag, but only 7 of 20 MTP entries carried an
mtp tag.

Tag the 13 untagged MTP entries, then teach the lookup to read tags as well
as names. A tag is now the authoritative signal and is compared whole and
case-insensitively, which is safe precisely because a tag is a deliberate
declaration rather than free text: there is no word-inside-a-word failure
mode, so the segment splitting the name half needs is unnecessary there.

The name check stays as a fallback rather than being replaced. Switching to
tags only would have regressed the six already-grouped entries on the day it
shipped, and would depend on tagging discipline that does not exist yet.

The lookup still names no feature, so adding one remains a one-line edit to
servingFeaturePreferenceTokens.

* feat(gallery): make a declared tag the sole serving-feature signal

Variant auto-selection ranks survivors by fit, then engine, then serving
feature, then size. The serving-feature lookup recognised a speculative build
by either a declared tag or a whole segment of its entry name. Drop the name
half: a tag is now the only signal.

A name is author-supplied free text and a naming convention is not a contract,
so reading a marker out of one infers a capability nobody declared. The gallery
already had the failure in it: the four NVFP4 entries name MTP-bearing weights
while setting no option that enables speculative decoding, and being live
variants they were winning the feature axis without answering any faster.

overrides.options was considered as the replacement and rejected. It carries
spec_type:draft-mtp / spec_type:draft-dflash, which is what actually turns the
feature on, but that spelling is llama.cpp's config vocabulary: ds4 spells the
same feature mtp_path and sglang spells it speculative_algorithm in a
referenced config. Keying a cross-backend ranking decision on one backend's
option syntax would rank the other backends' builds as plain. Options are the
curation-time check instead, and never reach the selection logic.

With no fallback left, tag correctness is load bearing, so audit every entry
against the rule "tagged when the entry configures that feature, in whatever
vocabulary its backend uses". Three entries configure MTP untagged and gain the
tag (hy3, glm-5.2, qwythos-9b-claude-mythos-5-1m, all spec_type:draft-mtp with
no marker in their names). Four carry the tag while configuring nothing and
lose it: qwen3.6-27b-nvfp4-mtp, qwen3.6-35b-a3b-nvfp4-mtp,
qwopus3.6-27b-coder-mtp-nvfp4 and qwopus3.6-27b-v2-mtp-nvfp4, whose only option
is use_jinja:true. The dflash side was checked independently rather than assumed
consistent: all five dflash entries declare spec_type:draft-dflash and all five
are tagged, so it needed no edits.

Four entries keep a tag that a literal spec_type-only reading would strip,
because they configure MTP through a different backend: deepseek-v4-flash-q2-mtp
via ds4's mtp_path/mtp_draft, and the three sglang entries via
speculative_algorithm in their referenced configs. Stripping those would
contradict the reason spec_type was rejected as the signal and would demote four
genuinely faster builds to plain.

The index was edited by line insertion and deletion only, never round-tripped
through a serializer. A resolved-tag diff across all 1272 named entries, taken
after merge keys are applied, shows exactly these 7 changing and no entry
gaining or losing a tag through an anchor.

The two specs that pinned the name fallback are inverted rather than deleted,
since a name silently promoting a build is the regression worth guarding. The
whole-token guard survives on the tag path, where smtp must still not match mtp.

* fix(gallery): make deepseek-v4-flash variant targets installable

Clicking install on deepseek-v4-flash failed with "invalid gallery model".
The parent entry is fine, but all four entries it was grouped with declared
neither url: nor config_file:, and applyModel needs one of the two to have
anything to build a config from. They carry urls: (plural), the informational
HuggingFace link list, which is a different field. None of the four was ever
independently installable, so grouping them routed a previously-working
install into a broken entry.

Give each the url: the parent already resolves through. virtual.yaml is a
no-op base, and applyModel passes overrides to InstallModel separately from
the fetched config, so backend: ds4, the parameters and the ssd/mtp options
all still land exactly as authored. This is the same pattern the parent and
many other GGUF entries in the index already use.

Add the lint rule that should have caught this. checkVariantReferences only
proved a target exists and is not itself a parent, which is structural
validity: an entry can exist, declare no variants, and still be
uninstallable. checkVariantTargetsInstallable mirrors applyModel's
precondition instead, and names the parent, the target and the missing
fields, because whoever hits it is reading a gallery entry and has no reason
to know applyModel exists.

The two index-driven resolution specs live in their own Ordered container:
an Ordered container stops at its first failure, so sharing one with the lint
rules let a lint breach skip them silently.

Nine further entries gallery-wide have the same defect and are unrelated to
variants, so they are broken installs that predate this branch. They are left
alone here rather than buried in a regression fix, and widening the rule to
cover every entry is deferred with them so the gate can ratchet up in one
step instead of needing a skip list.

* fix(gallery): install entries with no url or config_file on an empty base

applyModel had three branches: fetch a base config from url:, build one from
an inline config_file:, or fail with "invalid gallery model". An entry
declaring neither is now installed on an empty base config, with overrides:
and files: supplying everything.

This is what the ~345 entries pointing at gallery/virtual.yaml were already
getting. That stub is five lines carrying name, description and license.
description and license are overwritten from the gallery entry immediately
after the fetch, and the name never reaches disk because InstallModel prefers
the install name. Crucially applyModel passes model.Overrides to InstallModel
as a separate argument rather than merging it into the fetched config, so
nothing an author writes depends on that base existing. The fetch bought a
round trip to GitHub and nothing else.

That makes f4ef80173 the wrong fix, so it is unwound. The four url: lines it
added to the deepseek-v4-flash variants are reverted: they are a pointless
network fetch now, and the family installs without them.

Relaxing the branch would hide a real authoring mistake, so a payload rule
replaces the base-config rule. An entry with no url, no config_file, no
overrides and no files installs nothing and would leave an empty model
directory while reporting success, so it is refused by name. The caller's
request counts toward the payload, because its overrides and files are merged
into the install exactly as the entry's own are. urls: (plural) is the
informational link list and does not count, which is what the four entries
that shipped broken had and why they were still uninstallable.

checkVariantTargetsInstallable asserted every variant target declares a url:
or a config_file:, which is no longer true and would now reject correct
authoring. checkEntriesInstallSomething pins what survives instead, and covers
every entry rather than only variant targets: the hazard is a half-written
stanza and a parent can be one as easily as a target. The old rule was scoped
to targets precisely because nine unrelated entries would have failed a
gallery-wide version; those nine are valid now, so the deferred ratchet
happens here in one step. 1280 entries, zero violations.

Those nine (aurore-reveil_koto-small-7b-it, lfm2-1.2b, the six liquidai_lfm2
entries and deepseek-v4-pro-q2-ssd) become installable for free. Each carries
overrides: and files:, and one of them is driven through the real install path
in a spec.

The no-fetch spec is paired rather than bare: an assertion that nothing was
fetched proves nothing unless something could have been, so a control runs the
same fixture with a url: pointing at a base config that is not there and
asserts the install fails. Only then does the identical fixture without the
url passing mean the read was skipped.

Follow-up, deliberately not here: the ~345 entries still naming virtual.yaml
can drop their url:. That is 345 index edits with their own risk, and mixing
them in would bury this change.

* ui(models): let search bypass the variant collapse, drop the toggle

The models page collapsed the gallery to one row per model by default and
offered a toggle to see every individual build. Because the collapse composed
with the search term, a build another entry offers as a variant could not be
found by typing its name, so the toggle was the only way to reach those builds
in the UI. A user who typed a name they knew existed got "no models found",
which reads as "that model does not exist".

Collapse is for browsing; search is for finding. An explicit search term now
bypasses the collapse in the listing handler, so a name lookup returns matching
entries whether or not a parent offers them. The term is trimmed once at the
top of the handler, so whitespace is neither a search nor a bypass; previously
an untrimmed blank term also narrowed the listing to whatever contained a
space. Tag and backend deliberately do not bypass: they refine a listing the
user is still reading rather than name an entry already known to exist.

That makes the toggle redundant, so it goes, along with its i18n strings in all
six locales, its localStorage persistence, its participation in "Clear filters"
and the empty-state hint telling users to turn it off. The hint was doubly
stale: it pointed at a control that no longer exists, and it was untrue exactly
when a user has a search term, since searching now sees every build. The page
always requests the collapsed listing.

The stored preference key is left inert rather than cleaned up: nothing reads
it, so a user who had the toggle off simply gets the collapsed view.

collapse_variants stays on the API, off by default, because other clients want
either view and the UI dropping its control is no reason to remove a working
parameter.

* feat(ui): give the models gallery filter form a deliberate structure

The filter area had accreted controls into one undifferentiated flow. The
"Fits in GPU" toggle and the backend select were direct children of
.filter-bar, the same wrapping container as the 18 taxonomy chips, so their
position was decided by how many chips happened to wrap at the current width
rather than by any layout intent. At narrow widths they were pushed past the
right edge of that container's horizontal scroll and became unreachable
entirely.

Restructure into three bands inside the house .filter-bar-group wrapper that
components/FilterBar.jsx already uses on Backends and the System tabs:

  1. query scope: search plus the backend select
  2. taxonomy: the chip row, alone, free to wrap
  3. refinements: fits-in-GPU and context size, under a hairline rule

The backend select leads the chips rather than trailing them because picking a
backend disables the use cases that backend cannot serve, so it gates the row
below it. Fits-in-GPU and context size share a band because they are one
control group: the context size is the length the VRAM estimate is computed at,
and that estimate is what the fits filter tests against.

Chips had no visible keyboard focus indicator. The global focus ring is wrapped
in :where(), so it carries the specificity of a bare :focus-visible, ties with
.filter-btn and loses on source order, leaving focused chips showing their
resting drop shadow. Restate the ring where it outranks both resting and hover.

Also: aria-pressed on the chips, a real label association and aria-valuetext on
the context slider (it steps over an index, so it announced "2"), disabled chip
styling moved off inline styles, a prefers-reduced-motion block for the chip
transition, and the hard-coded English "Context:" moved into all seven locales.

No behaviour change: same filters, same state, same requests. Page reset on
change, localStorage persistence and "Clear filters" verified unchanged.

* feat(ui): let the models recommendations panel fade into the background

The "Recommended for your hardware" strip rendered at full height on every
visit regardless of how many models were already installed, costing 186px at
1600px wide (287px at 1100px, where its cards wrapped to two rows) and pushing
the first gallery row to y=554 / y=703.

Make its prominence track how much the user still needs it. The panel now
defaults to a one-line summary once anything is installed, and both the
collapse choice and the existing dismissal persist:

  collapsed = explicit user choice, if one exists
            : installedCount > 0

The preference is three-valued on purpose. A boolean cannot tell "the user
expanded it" apart from "the user has never chosen", and those need opposite
handling when the installed count later crosses zero: someone who deliberately
opened the panel on an empty instance should not have it collapse out from
under them when their first model finishes installing.

Collapsed keeps the card, icon, title and a suggestion count, so the panel is
recovered by clicking what you are already looking at rather than by hunting.
Expanded is unchanged, because for a user with nothing installed it was never
the problem. Collapsed reclaims 145px at 1600 and 420, and 246px at 1100.

Models.jsx gains a statsLoaded flag: stats initializes to installed:0, so
reading it before the fetch resolves would render expanded and collapse a frame
later, which is exactly the layout shove this removes.

The dismissal key moves to the page's localai-models-* convention; the old
localai_rec_models_dismissed is still read, never written, so an existing
dismissal is honoured rather than resurrected by the rename.

Accessibility: the disclosure is a real button whose accessible name is the
visible title alone, with state on aria-expanded and aria-controls resolving in
both states, because the grid is hidden via the hidden attribute rather than
unmounted. That also keeps the four install buttons out of the tab order while
collapsed. The app's global focus ring applies; no per-component outline is
added, per the warning in App.css. Reveal animates opacity and transform only,
never height, and both it and the chevron rotation are disabled under
prefers-reduced-motion.

Only en had a recommended block, so the other six locales were falling back to
English for the whole panel. Translated the complete block rather than adding
one orphaned key to files that would still render the title in English.

* fix(downloader): recover from a leftover .partial on non-HTTP URIs

An interrupted download leaves a `<file>.partial` behind. The partial
handling in DownloadFileWithContext gated resume on `err == nil &&
uri.LooksLikeHTTPURL()`, so for any URI that is not literally http(s)
the branch fell through to `else if !errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist)`,
which with a nil err is true. The download then failed with an error
wrapping nil:

  failed to check file ".../Ternary-Bonsai-27B-Q2_g64.gguf" existence: <nil>

Every gallery file URI uses `huggingface://`, so a single interrupted
download made that model permanently uninstallable until someone
deleted the partial by hand. The `<nil>` in the message compounded it
by pointing debugging at a filesystem failure that never happened.

Restructure the handling as an explicit switch over the four real
states: partial exists and is resumable, partial exists and is not
resumable (discard and restart, as already done for an HTTP server
without range support), no partial, and a genuine stat failure. The
error branch is now only reachable with a non-nil error, names the
path that was actually stat'd, and wraps with %w.

Discarding is required for correctness and not merely convenience: the
writer opens the partial with O_APPEND, so an un-resumed download would
concatenate a fresh body onto stale bytes.

* feat(ui): tell the models gallery's variant rows apart, and let browsing see every build

Both variant surfaces rendered name, backend and size. For two builds of one
model that is close to no information: a variant exists precisely because the
same weights are offered another way, so the backend usually matches and the
sizes usually land within a few hundred megabytes. Comparing
ternary-bonsai-27b-pq2 against ternary-bonsai-27b-q2-g64 meant reading two names
that differ by a suffix nobody has defined anywhere in the UI.

Report the quantization and the serving features on VariantView, and derive both
server-side from the referenced entry rather than parsing names in the browser,
so every client reads the same format out of the same file the installer will
hand the backend.

Quantization comes from overrides.parameters.model first, falling back to the
file list. That order is load bearing: entries routinely ship a vision tower
alongside the language model at a different quantization, so reading the file
list first reports the mmproj's format. Matching walks `-` and `.` delimited
segments right to left; `_` deliberately does not split, because it separates the
parts INSIDE a quant token and splitting on it reports Q4 for a Q4_K_M build. A
second, looser pass takes a segment's `_`-delimited tail, which catches the
gemma-4-E2B_q4_0-it.gguf style; it runs second so a precise match can never lose
to a fuzzy one further right in the name. An entry naming no format reports
nothing, which is the honest answer for a backend served from a directory of
weights.

Features are the same tag-against-vocabulary match servingFeatureRank already
ranks on, over the same host preference list. A build can therefore never be
shown as faster than one selection did not actually reward, nor rewarded without
being shown; a spec pins that agreement rather than trusting it.

The compact dropdown gets the quantization on its meta line and the bare feature
token. The detail row, which has the room, gets the quantization as its own
monospaced column so precision lines up down the list, and the feature spelled
out, because DFLASH names nothing to a user who has not met it. The referenced
entry's description stays out of both: the detail row already renders the
parent's prose above the table, and a second block per variant would push a
three-variant list past a screen to restate what the columns now say precisely.

The collapse toggle comes back. 462583f38 dropped it once search bypassed the
collapse, on the reasoning that nothing was unreachable any more. That holds for
finding a build whose name you know and does not hold for browsing: no sequence
of actions enumerated the 68 builds the default view hides. Collapse is for
browsing and search is for finding, and the toggle was the browsing half.

It goes in the refinements band 0d4823362 established, not back among the
taxonomy chips where its position depended on how many chips happened to wrap. It
leads that band because it decides how many rows the other two refine over, and
because unlike fits-in-GPU it is unconditional: a host with no GPU still browses.

The search bypass is untouched and re-checked by a spec in the toggle's default
state, since restoring the control must not restore the dead end it replaced. The
empty-state hint returns but only without a search term, because a term bypasses
the collapse and the hint would otherwise point at a control that cannot change
the result. The stored preference reads 'on'/'off' only: an older build wrote
'1'/'0' from an effect that ran on mount, so those record that the page was
opened, not that anyone chose a view.

Also fixes a latent flake it exposed. The collapse_variants spec compared whole
response bodies byte for byte, and the listing envelope carries live host
telemetry that drifts between two calls milliseconds apart, so it was asserting
on the machine's memory pressure. It now compares everything the parameter
governs -- the entries, their serialization and the paging -- and is green 25/25
where it was failing about one run in three.

* feat(ui): let the models gallery show a variant's full details

The variant list in an entry's expanded detail row says how the builds
differ: name, backend, quantization, size, and the auto-selected, base
and serving-feature markers. It cannot say what any one of them is. A
variant's own description, tags, license, source links and file list are
unreachable anywhere in the UI, because while the collapse is on a
variant has no gallery row of its own.

Give each variant row an info control that reveals its entry, rendered by
the same ModelDetail a top-level row gets, so a field added to the detail
view appears here too. variantData is withheld from the nested render: a
variant may declare variants of its own, and recursing would nest a
picker inside a picker two levels deep already.

An inline disclosure rather than a modal. The control sits inside a table
row that is already expanded, inside a variant list within that; a dialog
opened from there stacks a dismissal on a dismissal for a handful of
extra fields about the entry the user is already reading, and breaks the
page's own expand idiom. The third level is carried by an inset and a
left rule instead of another card.

The entry is fetched by exact name from the listing, once, on first use.
The listing already returns every field the detail view renders, and a
search term bypasses the variant collapse server-side, so no new endpoint
is needed and neither the listing nor DescribeVariants gains any work.
Expanding a row costs nothing; a variant nobody opens costs nothing. A
name the listing no longer returns is stated, not blanked: an empty panel
reads as a rendering fault rather than as a lookup that came back empty.

The control is a sibling of the install button, not a descendant, so
asking about a build can never install it.

The variant list keeps its content-sized columns via a trailing filler
track instead of max-content sizing, so the rows are unchanged while the
panel spanning them gets the pane width its file table needs.

* feat(gallery): let search respect the collapse instead of switching it off

The models listing collapsed to one row per model, and an explicit search term
turned that off wholesale. Searching while collapsed therefore answered with the
individual builds a parent already offers, which are exactly the rows the view
the user asked for has no place for: typing "mtp" returned
qwen3.6-27b-nvfp4-mtp, a row that is invisible the moment the box is cleared.
The bypass was the right shape of fix for the wrong half of the problem. What a
search must not do is answer "no models found" for a build the gallery does
hold; that does not require abandoning the grouping the user asked for.

So the term is now matched against every entry either way, hidden builds
included, and the collapse decides how a match is reported rather than which
matches exist. Collapsing stops being a filter that drops rows and becomes a
substitution: a match on a build another entry offers is reported as that entry,
the one installable in its own right. Nothing becomes unfindable and nothing
comes back that the requested view cannot show.

Substitution happens after search, tag and backend, so every filter is judged
against the build that really carries the name, tag or backend rather than
against a parent that merely offers it; the other order would let backend=vllm
match a parent whose own backend is something else. The price is that the
surfaced row shows the parent's own metadata while the match was on a variant,
which is what grouping means, and the alternative is claiming the gallery holds
no such build. It happens before the count and the page math, so both describe
the rows actually handed out rather than the matches that produced them.

A parent already in the result keeps its own position and absorbs its matching
variants there, which is what leaves the browsing listing ordered exactly as it
was; a parent surfaced only by a variant takes the position of the first variant
that surfaced it. Either way it appears once, however many of its builds matched
and whether or not it matched itself. Search preserves gallery order rather than
scoring, so a surfaced parent has a real position rather than an invented one.

VariantParents never reports an entry that declares variants of its own, so a
parent is never itself hidden and one hop always lands on a visible row. The
handler follows exactly one anyway: refusing the second is what makes a gallery
the linter would have rejected terminate rather than loop.

The empty-state hint pointing at the toggle goes with it for every server-side
filter. Substitution means a match is always reported as some row, so the
collapse can no longer be why a term, a chip or a backend came back empty, and
naming it there sends the user to a control that cannot change the result. It
survives for the fits filter alone, which runs in the browser after the
substitution and judges the surfaced entry's own size: there the build that fits
really can be filtered out along with a parent that does not.

Searching a build's exact name while collapsed now answers with its parent, so
the result no longer contains the string the user typed. That is intended, and
the row is the one they can act on, but it is a real rough edge: nothing on the
row explains the connection. Closing it properly means reporting which variant
matched so the UI can say so, which the listing does not do today.

ResetGalleryModelCache is added for tests. The model cache is a package global
keyed by nothing, so a background refresh one spec triggers can land in the
middle of the next and answer it with the previous spec's gallery; the extra
specs here made that fail about one run in five. It waits for the in-flight
refresh to publish before clearing, since clearing alone only narrows the
window.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto b0959d4756 feat(api): add GET /v1/models/capabilities endpoint (#10687)
Additive superset of /v1/models that enriches each model entry with the
capabilities it supports plus its input/output modalities
(text / image / audio / video). Clients that only understand /v1/models
are unaffected -- they simply never call the new route.

Audio and video *input* are derived from the model's multimodal limits
(vLLM limit_mm_per_prompt), which no single usecase FLAG expresses. That
gap is exactly why a plain capability list is insufficient and this
enriched endpoint exists: an attachment router can now decide whether an
image/audio/video file can go to the active model directly, or must be
converted/transcribed first.

Capability derivation lives in core/config as the single source of truth
(ModelConfig.Capabilities / InputModalities / OutputModalities /
VisionSupported / ...); the Ollama capability surface now delegates to
it instead of keeping a parallel copy. Vision is gated on
chat/completion capability so a MediaMarker hydrated onto a non-chat
model (e.g. a pure ASR/TTS backend) no longer reports a false vision
capability.

Read-only listing: no new FLAG_* flag, reuses the existing `models`
swagger tag, and intentionally exposes no MCP admin tool (there is
nothing to manage conversationally).

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

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

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

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

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

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 f0d0bff232 fix(llama-cpp): stop reinterpreting plain-string message content as JSON (#10524) (#10538)
The llama-cpp gRPC backend reconstructs OpenAI messages from proto for the
tokenizer-template path and blindly json::parse'd each message's content
string. LocalAI's Go layer always flattens content to a plain string, so a
user prompt that merely looks like JSON (e.g. mealie's ingredient array
["1/4 cup brown sugar", ...]) was reinterpreted as structured content parts and
rejected by oaicompat_chat_params_parse with "unsupported content[].type".

Normalize content per role instead: user/system/developer content is opaque
text and is never JSON-sniffed; assistant/tool content still collapses a literal
JSON null/object (tool-call bookkeeping) to a string, but a plain string is
never turned into an array/scalar. The array defense is role-independent, so the
role gate only governs the benign null/object case.

While here, extract the duplicated per-message reconstruction and the
pre-template content sanitization into shared, unit-tested helpers
(message_content.h) so the streaming (PredictStream) and non-streaming (Predict)
paths cannot drift. This removes ~490 lines of copy-pasted defensive code, the
dead tool-role parse branches, and the redundant Predict-only tool_calls branch,
while preserving the prior #7324 (null content -> "") and #7528 (tool array
content -> string) fixes.

Tests:
- backend/cpp/llama-cpp/message_content_test.cpp: standalone C++ unit tests for
  all three helpers (#10524, #7324, #7528, multimodal), discovered and run by
  `make test-backend-cpp` and a new generic tests-backend-cpp CI job. Also wired
  as an opt-in CMake/ctest target (-DLLAMA_GRPC_BUILD_TESTS=ON).
- core/schema/message_test.go: Go regression pinning that ToProto flattens a
  JSON-array-looking text part to the verbatim string.
- prepare.sh now copies message_content.h into the build tree.

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.

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

* 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.

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

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

Reconciled against master's independent evolution:

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

* 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

* 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.

  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
gate the check, per the supertonic exclusion precedent in secscan.yaml.

* fix(depth): bump depth-anything.cpp to v0.1.2 (CUDA cross-build arch)

v0.1.1 forced CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=native, which breaks the GPU-less
l4t/cublas CI builds (nvcc "Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_'" on
CMake 3.22). v0.1.2 (442eea4) drops the override and lets ggml pick its
default cross-build arch list.
