mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto	e4fa051ee3	refactor(distributed): put the NATS-only paths behind interfaces (#12395) ... * feat(messaging): add shared subject rules Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(messaging): cover BroadcastRoots, ControlRoots and SubjectRoot Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(messaging): add Broadcaster and enforce subject rules in every carrier Broadcaster is the fan-out half of MessagingClient. The NATS client and the in-memory FakeBus now refuse a subject outside the served roots and any wildcard other than a whole single token, and FakeBus shares MatchSubject instead of its own copy. FakeBus Unsubscribe now removes its own subscription instead of the first one with the same subject. A shared conformance suite in messagingtest runs against both carriers. The distributed e2e specs that used invented test.* subjects, and the one that subscribed with a > filter, now use subjects from subjects.go. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor: depend on Broadcaster where only publish and subscribe are used Narrowed to messaging.Broadcaster: nodes/staging_progress.go, nodes/install_progress_publisher.go, galleryop/operation.go, galleryop/service.go, agentpool/user_services.go, agentpool/agent_jobs.go, openresponses/store.go, openresponses/sync.go, syncstate/syncstate.go, finetune/service.go, quantization/service.go and failover/distsync/distsync.go. SubscribeJSON now takes a Broadcaster because it only calls Subscribe, which lets the narrowed consumers use it. Stayed wide: worker/supervisor.go, because its client field also serves the SubscribeReply handlers in worker/lifecycle.go. The request/reply, queue and wiring files (nodes/unloader.go, nodes/file_stager_s3.go, jobs/dispatcher.go, agents/dispatcher.go, agents/events.go, worker/file_staging.go, cli/agent_worker.go, http/app.go) are unchanged by design. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): name the no-route condition and confine the carrier error Consumers matched nats.ErrNoResponders, which names an absence, to demote a node. They now match ErrNoRoute, the control path maps the carrier's failure onto it, and timeouts and worker refusals are pinned as not being no-route. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs(nodes): state which FileStager implementations return ErrNoRoute Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): build backend clients through one node-aware seam Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: describe the distributed transport seams Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: correct comments that overclaim after the seams refactor Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(agent-worker): refuse an unserved LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT at startup The messaging client now refuses a subject whose root no carrier serves. An agent worker started with a custom LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT such as tenant-a.agent.execute used to start and then wait on a subject the frontend never publishes to. After the subject rules landed it exited at subscribe time with an error that did not name the setting. Behaviour change: the worker now checks LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT before it registers or connects, and exits with an error that names the variable and says to use a served subject under the agent root, for example agent.execute. The served roots are not widened: a custom root was never delivered by the frontend, and a wider set would reopen the drift the subject rules exist to close. The flag help and the agent worker docs state the constraint. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(nodes): pin the reactions to ErrNoRoute Three callers react to ErrNoRoute and had no spec: the reconciler's upgrade drain falls back to the legacy forced install, the reconciler marks the node unhealthy when a pending op has no route, and the backend-op fan-out marks the node unhealthy. Each spec drives the real caller with a scripted no-responders reply and reads the result from the registry or the recorded requests. A fourth spec pins the other side: a pending op that times out leaves the node healthy and only counts the attempt, so mapping timeouts onto ErrNoRoute would fail here. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(messaging): pin client subject checks and fail the carrier suite in CI Add specs that call Publish, Request, Subscribe, QueueSubscribe, SubscribeReply and QueueSubscribeReply on a client with no connection. Each call must return ErrUnservedSubject for bogus.thing and ErrUnsupportedWildcard for jobs.>. This proves that the subject check runs before the connection is used, and needs no server. The NATS conformance suite is the only check that runs the subject rules against a real carrier. Before this change it skipped without output when Docker was missing. Now it fails when CI is set, so a Linux runner without Docker cannot hide it. It still skips on local runs and on macOS CI, which has no Docker. Add SubjectNodeBackendInstallProgress to the list of constructors that must build served subjects, and ask contributors to extend the list. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: state what ErrNoRoute may change, and group the distributed guides The seams note said MarkUnhealthy was the only state change allowed on ErrNoRoute. A pending backend op still records the failed attempt, counts toward the reconciler's retry limit and is dead-lettered after the maximum attempts. The note now says that MarkUnhealthy is the only change to the node's own state, and that the per-op accounting is not a verdict about the node. The note also documents that the NATS conformance run fails under CI when Docker is missing. The distributed-seams row moves next to the distributed-state row in the topics table. The liveness ping spec header now says no route is a reason to skip the worker, not proof that the worker is gone. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): give the backend client factory the node id Mechanical: the method gains a nodeID parameter and the eight test fakes are updated. No behaviour change. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): drop the optional node-aware factory The node id is now in the main method, so the optional interface and its helper had no behaviour of their own. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): dial backend probes through the client factory Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): dial workers' file servers through a per-node dialer Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(http): proxy backend logs through the per-node worker dialer The admin backend-logs proxy (list, lines and the WebSocket stream) now reaches a worker through the same per-node dialer as the HTTP file stager, so every frontend-to-worker dial goes through one seam. The shared direct dialer keeps alive for 15s where the proxy used 30s. Harmless for requests bounded at 15s. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(http): keep the backend-logs proxy independent of the admin connection The proxy request had no context before the dialer change and is bounded only by its 15s timeout. Keep it that way. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor: move the worker control payloads to workerctl Mechanical move of the request and reply structs, the install progress event and the file payloads out of messaging. The verbs no longer belong to one carrier. No alias is left behind. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(worker): serve the lifecycle verbs through a controlServer The worker registers one handler per verb and a NATS server maps each verb to its subject. Registration errors now name the verb. node.stop is served with SubscribeReply, which is identical on the wire because the handler never replies. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(worker): report install progress through the control sink Install and upgrade now emit download progress through the sink the control server hands them. The debounce and the terminal flush stay in the handler path, built over that sink by the new nodes.NewDebouncedInstallProgressSink, which replaces NewDebouncedInstallProgressPublisher. The subject and payload on the wire are unchanged. The supervisor no longer holds the bus, and installFn and upgradeFn let specs drive both verbs without a gallery. The malformed-request log lines are restored for install, upgrade, backend.delete, model.unload, model.stop and model.delete, with the reply bytes unchanged. The signal adapter is renamed noReply, which also lets worker.go import os/signal without an alias again. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(worker): serve the file-staging verbs through a controlServer An empty list-dir answer is now {} rather than {"files":null}, because the typed reply omits an empty Files slice. The frontend decodes both to a nil slice in nodes/file_stager_s3.go. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(messaging): add WorkQueue and the NATS producer This is the producer side of the competing-consumer seam. The work kinds map one to one to today's subjects and queue groups: task to jobs.new and mcp-ci to jobs.mcp-ci.new (both in group workers), agent-run to agent.execute (group agent-workers). Enqueue publishes the payload as Publish does today, with one JSON marshal. FakeBus now records queue groups and keeps reply handlers so later specs can pin and drive them. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(messaging): add the NATS WorkConsumer An in-flight limit of one runs the handler inline on the delivery goroutine, as the MCP CI consumer does today. Any other limit spawns per delivery, as the agent consumer does. Queue groups are unchanged. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor: publish queued work through WorkQueue The job dispatcher, the agent pool and the agent scheduler enqueue through messaging.WorkQueue; the NATS implementation publishes to the same subjects as before. DistributedServices builds the queue next to the NATS client and hands it to the dispatcher and the agent pool, whose distributed mode switch now reads a non-nil WorkQueue. The unused AgentPoolService.SetNATSClient is removed. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor: consume queued work through WorkConsumer The agent dispatcher and the MCP CI consumer register through messaging.WorkConsumer. The NATS implementation keeps the inline one-at-a-time model for MCP CI and the per-delivery model for agent runs. handleMCPCIJob reports on the events publisher the carrier hands it instead of a captured client. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor: delete the consumers nothing in production reached jobs.new has a producer and no production consumer, and the agent dispatcher's Dispatch was only called from tests. Publishing jobs.new is unchanged. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(mcp): send MCP requests to agent workers through AgentControl Timeouts still honour only the deadline, not cancellation, exactly as today. The NATS no-responders error maps to ErrNoRoute and a timeout does not. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(agent-worker): serve MCP requests and backend.stop through agentRPCServer The agent worker's MCP tool and discovery reply subscriptions and its backend stop listener move behind an unexported agentRPCServer interface, served on NATS by nodes.NATSAgentRPCServer. The handlers become typed mcp.ToolHandler and mcp.DiscoveryHandler values that answer every failure with a reply carrying Error. Queue group (agent-workers), inline execution on the delivery goroutine, the background handler context, the unmarshal error reply texts and the reply-less backend stop subscription are unchanged. The backend stop handler takes the decoded backend name, so it can still close that backend's MCP sessions. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(messaging): remove helpers that only tests used BroadcastRoots, ControlRoots and SubjectRoot had no production caller. The roots spec now asserts every served root through ValidateSubject instead. MatchSubject moves back into the test support package, the only place that used it, with its table. NATSAgentRPCServer drops the subscription list it stored and never read, and NewNATSAgentRPCServer gets a doc comment. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(mcp): round trip the agent RPC server over a real NATS server One spec sends a tool request and a discovery request through NATSAgentControl to NATSAgentRPCServer and checks that the handlers see the decoded requests and the replies come back. It also puts an undecodable body on the tool subject and checks the server answers with an unmarshal error instead of leaving the requester to time out. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: describe the distributed transport seams The developer note now lists the final seams: fan-out, queues, both halves of the control verbs and of agent RPC, and the dial. It records the open items a second carrier has to handle. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test: pin the in-flight limit each queue consumer asks for The work queue specs pin what Consume does for a given limit, but nothing pinned which limit each production consumer passes. Changing the agent worker's MCP CI limit from 1 to 0 would have let MCP CI jobs run concurrently on each worker with every test green. Move the MCP CI Consume call into startMCPCIConsumer with the same wiring and pin that it asks for (WorkMCPCI, 1). Pin that NATSDispatcher.Start asks for (WorkAgentRun, maxConcurrent) for several limits. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor: remove helpers the branch left without a caller SubjectJobCancelWildcard lost its last subscriber when the frontend stopped listening on jobs.*.cancel; the NATS permissions and conformance suite spell the subject out, so nothing reads the constant. decodeBackendStopRequest returned a stopAll flag that production dropped and only a test read. decodeBackendStop is now the single decoder with the same semantics: an empty body is stop-all, an empty Backend is stop-all, malformed JSON is an error. stopBackends still derives stop-all from Backend, so no reply changes. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(messaging): keep an explicitly empty agent queue a plain subscription Before the work queue seam the agent worker passed LOCALAI_AGENT_QUEUE straight to QueueSubscribe, so an explicitly empty value made a plain subscription and every agent worker ran every agent run. WithAgentRunRoute replaced an empty queue with agent-workers, which silently changed that. Keep the queue as given once the option is applied. An empty subject still falls back to agent.execute, since it never had a meaning of its own. The flag default stays agent-workers, so only an explicitly empty value reaches this. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: correct comments and record the PR B notes Fix the recordingFactory comment (it also records the parallel flag), document that a negative maxInFlight is unbounded and that Unsubscribe from a handler deadlocks, and say a permanently undecodable payload returns nil. Record controlHandler's undecodable return as a kept exception, and add the second carrier notes to the developer note: the reconciler has no ClientFactory option, the logs proxy honours HTTP_PROXY, verbs one carrier serves need an opt-out, terminal replies come from the result event, and agent runs publish through the NATS-bound EventBridge, which is not an additive change.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto	878a0d00a1	fix(distributed): reaper reaps live backends, ghost model stubs, in_flight leak, sidecar staging runaway (#11142) ... * fix(distributed): stop the probe reaper from orphaning busy backends The reconciler's liveness probe is a 1s gRPC HealthCheck, and a single failed probe deleted the model's node_models row. A backend that is merely busy cannot answer it: single-threaded Python backends (video and avatar generation) block for minutes inside one request, so the reaper was deleting registry rows for backends that were alive and mid-request. The model then vanished from the nodes page while it was still generating, and because the row was gone the in-flight decrement had nothing to decrement ("DecrementInFlight: no matching row or already zero"). Every subsequent request re-routed and re-staged the full model from scratch. Two guards: - Replicas with in-flight requests are excluded in SQL. A row that is actively serving is proof of life, and the running request is exactly what stops the backend from answering the probe. - Idle replicas must miss three CONSECUTIVE probes before removal, so a transient blip cannot orphan a live replica. A successful probe resets the streak. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * fix(distributed): drop the local model stub when its last replica goes In distributed mode every routed model leaves an in-process stub in the frontend's ModelLoader, and DistributedModelStore.Range reports local stubs UNION the registry rows. Every registry removal path deletes only the DB row, so the stub outlived the replica and the model was reported as loaded forever. That is the "loaded on the home page, absent from every node" ghost: /system reads the union and still sees the stub, while /api/nodes/models reads the registry and correctly sees nothing. It never self-healed, and both frontend replicas showed it independently. The replica-removed chokepoint could not fix this as it stood, because it held a SINGLE hook that the prefix cache already owned, and it was registered only when the prefix cache was enabled. Registering a second listener would have silently displaced the first. - Turn replicaRemovedHook into a list (AddReplicaRemovedHook), so independent subsystems can each register without displacing others. - Add NewLocalStubInvalidator, which drops the local stub once no healthy replica of the model remains anywhere in the cluster, and wire it unconditionally in startup. The stub is kept while another node still serves the model: the frontend is right to consider it loaded, and each request re-routes through SmartRouter to pick a live replica anyway. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * fix(distributed): stop staging checksum sidecars back to workers The file transfer server writes a "<file>.sha256" sidecar next to every file it accepts. The sender walked the model directory with no filter, so it staged those sidecars too, and the receiver duly wrote a sidecar for each sidecar. Every staging pass multiplied the tree: config.json -> config.json.sha256 -> config.json.sha256.sha256 -> ... One LongCat snapshot had grown to 498 files, 466 of them chained, up to 29 levels deep, and the staged file count climbed on every pass. This inflates each transfer and grows disk without bound on both ends. Skip hash sidecars in stageDirectory, and mirror the skip in countStageableFiles so the progress bar still reaches 100%. The check is "a sidecar sitting next to a real file" rather than a blanket suffix ban, so a model that genuinely ships a .sha256 payload with no corresponding base file is still transferred. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * fix(distributed): classify the liveness probe instead of gating on in_flight The previous commit excluded replicas with in-flight requests from the probe reaper. That was the wrong guard, and could invert the bug it fixed. in_flight has no decrement guarantee: track() balances its increment with a defer, but a frontend killed mid-request never runs it, and the load-time reservation is released only when the first inference completes. Nothing resets a leaked counter. Gating the reaper on it therefore meant a leaked counter would shield a genuinely dead replica from ever being reaped. Nor was patience alone a fix: three misses at the default interval is ~90s of silence, while the generation that triggered this blocks for 15+ minutes. The real conflation was in the probe itself. A gRPC HealthCheck against the backend's serving port measures "is it idle enough to answer", not "does the process exist", and probeLoadedModels discarded the error that tells them apart. Because the gRPC client is lazy, the status code is decisive: - DeadlineExceeded: transport fine, nothing serviced the RPC. Busy. - Unavailable: nothing is listening. Gone. ModelProber now returns a ProbeOutcome, and only ProbeUnreachable counts toward the reap threshold. ProbeBusy clears the streak: it is evidence of life. A blackholed network reads as busy too, deliberately, since whole-node failure is the health monitor's job. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * feat(distributed): reconcile replicas against worker-reported processes Probing a backend's own serving port cannot distinguish "busy" from "gone" without inferring it from an error code. The worker can answer directly: it spawned the process, holds the handle, and its reply is not blocked by whatever that backend is doing. Adds a models.running request-reply subject. The worker answers out of its in-memory process table, reporting each live process as (modelID, replicaIndex, address) — the supervisor's process keys are `modelID#replica`, which is isomorphic to a NodeModel row, so the reconciler can diff the two directly. reconcileNodeProcesses runs before the port probe and reaps rows for models the worker is not running. Models the worker vouches for get updated_at bumped, which takes them out of the port prober's stale set entirely: that is what keeps a backend deep in a long generation away from the probe in the first place, rather than relying on classifying its silence after the fact. A worker that does not answer is skipped, not assumed empty. A messaging failure says nothing about the processes, and assuming the worst would delete a node's rows on a transient NATS blip; the port probe stays as the fallback for those nodes. Rows younger than probeStaleAfter are ignored so a freshly created row is never judged against a process table that has not caught up. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * fix(distributed): stop in_flight leaking and pin replicas against eviction A leaked in_flight counter is not cosmetic. FindLRUModel, FindGlobalLRUModelWithZeroInFlight and the router's eviction query all require in_flight = 0, so a replica whose counter never came back is pinned and its VRAM is unreclaimable for the lifetime of the process. Two halves. The source: routing reserves in_flight = 1 at load time so a freshly loaded replica is not evicted out from under the request that caused the load. That reservation was released ONLY by the first inference completing, so a route torn down before any inference ran (client disconnect, handler error, failure between load and the backend call) stranded it. newRouteResult now wires the reservation to a sync.Once fired by whichever comes first, the first inference or route teardown, and replaces three copies of the old wiring. The backstop: a sweeper for counters leaked by paths that cannot run a defer at all, such as a frontend killed mid-request. Identifying a leak by elapsed time alone is unsafe. IncrementInFlight stamps last_used at request START and nothing moves it while the request runs, so a long generation is indistinguishable from a leak by age, and resetting there would expose a serving model to eviction. The probe supplies the missing bit: a backend that answers a health check promptly is not inside a request, because that is precisely what a busy one cannot do. Requiring the row to also be idle for 30 minutes covers backends that serve in parallel and can answer while working, since those keep last_used fresh through each new increment. Two existing tests asserted the old behaviour ("No decrement on Release"). That assertion was the leak, so both now pin the release instead.

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

The previous tail-keeping logic shifted the byte offset by a non-window amount once a conversation grew past MaxDepth*WindowBytes, changing every hash each turn and silently breaking cross-turn longest-prefix matching. The reusable KV/prefix cache lives at the head of the prompt, so anchoring at offset 0 makes the chain a true prefix-chain: P and P+suffix share their full leading overlap. Add a regression spec proving cross-turn stability past the cap. Performance: Index.Decide precomputes each candidate's Weight once (decorate-sort-undecorate) instead of calling the O(tree size) Weight inside the O(n log n) sort comparator. Behavior is unchanged. Lint: encode prev with binary.LittleEndian.PutUint64 instead of a manual byte loop, clearing the modernize rangeint finding. Also add a concurrent Decide/Observe/Invalidate spec to exercise Index's documented concurrency safety under go test -race.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nodes): optional route preference in FindAndLockNodeWithModel Add a RoutePreference type and a new pref parameter so the atomic pick+lock+increment can be biased toward a preferred node without weakening atomicity. A nil preference reproduces the previous ORDER BY behavior exactly. Update the ModelRouter interface, both router.go call sites (pass nil for now; Phase 5 builds the real preference), the test doubles, and the distributed e2e caller. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(prefixcache): make Sync satisfy Provider with Evict Sync.Observe now returns whether the local index treated the assignment as new or extended, and Sync gains an Evict method that delegates to the wrapped index. Together these let SmartRouter hold a single prefixcache.Provider that broadcasts via NATS. Adds a compile-time Provider assertion and an Evict-delegates behavioral test. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nodes): prefix-cache-aware preference and observe in SmartRouter.Route Add a PrefixProvider + PrefixConfig to SmartRouterOptions/SmartRouter (nil keeps routing byte-for-byte the round-robin floor). On each request Route now calls buildPreference: it reads the prompt prefix chain from ctx (distributedhdr.PrefixChain), resolves the per-model policy/thresholds over the global config, loads candidate replica in-flight via a new registry read LoadedReplicaStats (deduped to one entry per node using the MIN in-flight across that node's replicas), asks the provider to Decide, and runs prefixcache.Select. The chosen node is passed as the RoutePreference to FindAndLockNodeWithModel on all three pick paths (cache hit, locked re-pick, cold scheduleAndLoad), and the served node is recorded via Observe only when the resolved policy is prefix_cache so round-robin models never pollute the tree. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nodes): invalidate prefix-cache entries on unload and stale removal UnloadModel and both staleness fall-through paths in Route (after a failed gRPC probe and RemoveNodeModel) now call prefixProvider.Invalidate(model, nodeID), guarded by a nil-provider check so the round-robin floor is unchanged. At runtime the provider is the *prefixcache.Sync, so invalidations also broadcast to peer frontends. Adds a test that a previously hot prefix no longer Decides to a node after UnloadModel. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(prefixcache): rolling forced-disturb pressure counter Add a concurrency-safe per-model rolling counter that tracks how many times a request had a usable hot prefix match but the load guard forced it off the warm node. Entries outside the window are dropped lazily on Count so the backing slice stays bounded. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nodes): autoscale on prefix-cache forced-disturb pressure Wire the rolling forced-disturb counter into the SmartRouter and the ReplicaReconciler. Router: in buildPreference, after Decide + Select, record a forced-disturb when a usable hot prefix match existed (d.HotNodeID != "" and d.MatchRatio >= cfg.MinPrefixMatch) but Select chose a different node (or nothing) because the load guard ruled the warm node out. This is the scale-worthy signal: the cache-warm replica is saturated. It deliberately does not fire for all-unique workloads (no hot match), avoiding false-positive scale-ups. Pressure is optional on SmartRouterOptions; nil keeps the path a no-op. Reconciler: read the same Pressure instance in reconcileModel as an extra scale-up reason, reusing the existing MaxReplicas + ClusterCapacityForModel guards and the UnsatisfiableUntil cooldown that gates the whole method. Pressure never overrides MaxReplicas and never force-evicts; a no-capacity model does not spin. Window and threshold come from prefixcache.Config (PressureWindow default 1m, PressureScaleThreshold default 1) and are configurable via ReplicaReconcilerOptions. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(prefixcache): bound Pressure slice in Record; drop dead reconciler pressureWindow Record now prunes entries older than the rolling window (the same prune Count does), via a shared pruneLocked helper, so a model that takes forced-disturb records but is never Counted (e.g. one with zero loaded replicas the reconciler skips) no longer grows its backing slice unbounded. Also removes the dead pressureWindow struct field and the ReplicaReconcilerOptions.PressureWindow option from the reconciler: they were stored but never read (the window lives inside the *prefixcache.Pressure instance). The scale block now reads pressure.Count once into a local.

Builds the prefixcache Index + NATS-backed Sync + Pressure counter, installs the distributedhdr.PrefixChainHook so core/backend/llm.go attaches a prefix chain per request, subscribes to prefixcache.observe/prefixcache.invalidate to apply peers' events to the local index (no re-broadcast), threads PrefixProvider/PrefixConfig/Pressure into the SmartRouter and Pressure/PressureThreshold into the ReplicaReconciler, and runs a background eviction ticker (every TTL/2) bound to the app context. Enabled by default; --distributed-prefix-cache=false (LOCALAI_DISTRIBUTED_PREFIX_CACHE) opts out and leaves the provider/pressure nil so routing stays round-robin. --distributed-prefix-cache-ttl (LOCALAI_DISTRIBUTED_PREFIX_CACHE_TTL, default 5m) controls entry idle-timeout and eviction cadence. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(nodes): round-robin-floor invariant for prefix-cache routing Drives Select directly: a saturated hot node (in_flight 50 vs 0) is never picked even with a perfect prefix match (round-robin floor holds), while a balanced hot node within the load slack is reused.

Consumers that score K candidates against the tree under the read lock no longer pay K full walks. Extract the per-entry contribution math into an unexported helper shared by both Weight and WeightsFor so the metric stays identical (DRY). Weight's public behavior is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(config): add ModelConfig.ModelID() single source of truth The c.Name fallback to c.Model was duplicated in core/backend/options.go (feeding model.WithModelID) and hand-copied into core/backend/llm.go (the prefix-chain salt). These MUST agree or the prefix-cache salt diverges silently from the id the model loader tracks. Consolidate both into a new config.ModelConfig.ModelID() helper and call it from both sites. Behavior is identical. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * perf(prefixcache): reuse one xxhash.Digest in ExtractChain ExtractChain allocated a fresh xxhash.New() Digest per block (up to MaxDepth per call) and grew the chain slice without preallocation. Reuse a single Digest via Reset() before each block and preallocate the chain to min(nBlocks, MaxDepth). xxhash seed 0 is stateless, so Reset()+Write produces the byte-identical value to a fresh New()+Write. Output hashes are unchanged, preserving the cross-process determinism that peers rely on over NATS. Verified by capturing ExtractChain output for the existing test inputs before and after the refactor: identical. Existing extractor tests pass unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(prefixcache): drop hot match when matched node is not a candidate; weigh cold candidates in one walk Index.Decide called radixtree.LongestMatch over the whole tree, so the deepest match could be a node that is offline, unloaded, or simply not in the passed candidate set. Honoring that as HotNodeID produced a false forced-disturb signal upstream (buildPreference records pressure when chosen != HotNodeID), making it look like a warm replica was load saturated when it was actually absent. Build the candidate set once and only set HotNodeID/MatchRatio when the matched node is an actual candidate; otherwise fall back to cold placement. A future refinement could ask the tree for the longest match restricted to the candidate nodes (shallower-but-valid) instead of dropping it. Also replace the per-candidate tree.Weight call in the cold-order sort with a single tree.WeightsFor walk, turning O(K*N) under the read lock into O(N + K). Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(prefixcache): remove Select's unreachable deterministic fallback buildPreference always passes ColdOrder as a permutation of the full candidate set, so the cold-order loop hits every eligible candidate. The trailing best/bestIF scan was dead. Replace it with a plain "return """ and document that ColdOrder is guaranteed to cover all candidates, so "" means none were eligible. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): fetch model scheduling config once per Route GetModelScheduling was read three times per request - in resolveSelectorCandidates, buildPreference, and nodeMatchesScheduling - three DB round-trips for one row that is immutable for the life of the request, and not a consistent snapshot. Fetch it once near the top of Route and thread the *ModelSchedulingConfig (may be nil) into all three helpers. scheduleNewModel keeps its own fetch since it runs outside the Route snapshot. Behavior is identical for nil sched. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(autoscale): add Pressure.Reset to consume forced-disturb signal Pressure.Count is non-draining (it prunes only by age), so a single burst of forced-disturbs stays within the rolling window for the whole window and keeps Count >= threshold on every reconciler tick. The reconciler will use Reset to clear a model's events after acting on the signal so a fresh scale-up requires fresh forced-disturbs to accumulate, rather than one burst driving the model toward MaxReplicas. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(autoscale): at most one scale-up per reconcile tick, consume pressure Two autoscale bugs: 1. Over-scaling: the pressure scale-up block read Pressure.Count but never consumed it. With a non-draining counter a single forced-disturb burst kept Count >= threshold across the whole window, firing scaleUp on every tick and pushing the model toward MaxReplicas off one transient burst. After a successful pressure-triggered scale-up the reconciler now calls Pressure.Reset to consume the signal. 2. Double scale-up in one tick: the all-replicas-busy block and the pressure block could both fire in the same reconcileModel pass, each calling scaleUp(+1) against the same `current` read once at the top, so a model that was both busy and over threshold scaled +2 and could overshoot MaxReplicas by one. A scaledUp flag now enforces at most one scaleUp(+1) per tick: the pressure block is skipped if the busy block already scaled, and scale-down is skipped in any tick that scaled up. MinReplicas enforcement, UnsatisfiableUntil backoff, and capacity guards are unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nodes): replica-removed chokepoint hook for prefix-cache invalidation Add SetReplicaRemovedHook to NodeRegistry and fire it from both RemoveNodeModel and RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas after a successful delete. This is the single chokepoint every replica-removal path funnels through (router eviction, reconciler scale-down, probe reaper, health-monitor node-down reap, RemoteUnloaderAdapter), so the prefix-cache index can be invalidated by construction rather than wiring each call site individually. The hook is stored in an atomic.Pointer so the startup wiring (setter) and the request/reconcile-time fire are race-free; it is nil-safe when unset. GORM Delete reports no error for a no-op delete, so the hook also fires when nothing was removed; the consumer's Invalidate(model, node) is idempotent so this is harmless. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(distributed): invalidate prefix-cache on any replica removal via registry hook Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(prefixcache): single source of truth for threshold bounds Extract ValidateThresholds into prefixcache/config.go so the per-model override validation (nodes.go endpoint) and Config.Validate share one implementation of the numeric bounds (min_prefix_match in [0,1], balance_abs_threshold >= 0, balance_rel_threshold == 0-or->= 1) instead of hard-coding them in two places. The route_policy allow-list stays explicit (not ParsePolicy, which maps typos to Default). Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nodes): preserve prefix-cache settings on partial scheduling update A scheduling POST that omitted route_policy/thresholds (e.g. a min_replicas-only update) full-replaced every column and silently reset the model's previously-configured prefix-cache settings to empty/zero. Make the four prefix-cache request fields pointers so omitted is distinguishable from explicit zero, and merge PATCH-style in SetSchedulingEndpoint: a provided pointer wins, an omitted one preserves the existing config value (zero default when none). Non-prefix fields keep their full-replace PUT semantics. Validation now runs on the resolved values via prefixcache.ValidateThresholds. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(prefixcache): make Invalidate a no-op for uncached models and skip empty broadcasts A registry chokepoint fires Sync.Invalidate(model, nodeID) for every replica removal of every model, including round-robin models that never used the prefix cache. Index.Invalidate previously called tree(model), which lazily created and permanently retained an empty radix tree for any model that ever lost a replica, growing the trees map without bound. Sync.Invalidate also published a NATS PrefixCacheInvalidateEvent on every call, amplifying no-op removals across the cluster. Index.Invalidate now looks the tree up read-only via existingTree and returns without allocating when none exists. The Provider interface is unchanged; Sync gates the broadcast through an optional invalidateExisting(bool) capability type-asserted from the wrapped Index, falling back to the prior always-broadcast behavior for other Provider implementations. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * perf(prefixcache): derive Decide candidacy from WeightsFor and skip trivial sort WeightsFor already returns a map keyed by every requested candidate, so the separate candidates set built to validate the hot match was redundant: a node is a candidate iff it is a key in the weights map. Drop the extra map and gate the hot-match check on weights membership. Also skip the sort when there is at most one candidate, since the input order is already the cold order. Behavior is unchanged. Deferred follow-up: skipping the WeightsFor walk entirely when a hot match wins would need lazy cross-file changes and is out of scope here. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nodes): fire replica-removed hook on bulk node_models deletes; trim LoadedReplicaStats columns Bulk node-scoped node_models deletes (Register re-register cleanup, MarkOffline, MarkDraining, Deregister) removed rows directly without firing the replica-removed hook, so the prefix-cache index kept pointing at nodes whose models were gone. Capture the DISTINCT model names before each bulk delete and fire fireReplicaRemoved once per model after a successful delete, restoring the single-chokepoint invariant for all removal paths. The pre-query is skipped when no hook is set so the no-hook path stays cheap. Also narrow LoadedReplicaStats to SELECT only node_id and in_flight (the only fields the router consumer reads), dropping the JOIN-side available_vram fetch and unused columns while keeping the []ReplicaCandidate return type unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(reconciler): consume autoscale signals only on a real scale-up scaleUp was fire-and-forget (void) yet its callers unconditionally consumed the pressure signal (Pressure.Reset) and the MinReplicas hysteresis (ClearUnsatisfiable) right after calling it. If scaleUp added nothing (ScheduleAndLoadModel errored, or no node could be loaded) the saturated warm replica got no new replica AND its accumulated forced-disturb history was wiped, forcing the signal to re-accumulate over a full PressureWindow before the next attempt. Make scaleUp return whether at least one replica was actually scheduled, and gate the side effects on it: - pressure block (2b): set scaledUp and call Pressure.Reset only on success; on failure preserve the signal so the next tick retries off the same accumulated pressure. - busy-burst block (2): set scaledUp from the return value so a failed attempt does not suppress the pressure path or scale-down. - MinReplicas block: call ClearUnsatisfiable only on success so a failed attempt does not reset the unsatisfiable counter. All existing invariants (MaxReplicas, capacity gating, UnsatisfiableUntil cooldown, at-most-one-scale-up-per-tick) are preserved. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(nodes): drop router's redundant prefix-cache Invalidate calls The NodeRegistry removal chokepoint (RemoveNodeModel / RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas) now fires SetReplicaRemovedHook, which invalidates the prefix-cache index. The router was also calling prefixProvider.Invalidate explicitly right after each registry removal on the two stale-replica health-probe fall-throughs in Route and in UnloadModel, so every router-side eviction invalidated twice (double tree-prune + double NATS broadcast). Remove the three redundant explicit Invalidate calls and their empty nil-guards. Each removed call sat immediately after a registry removal that fires the hook, so invalidation is preserved via the chokepoint. Decide/Observe usage is untouched. Re-point the unit test (fake registry fires no hook) to assert the removal chokepoint is exercised on unload instead of the router's direct invalidation. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(prefixcache): broadcast invalidations unconditionally for cross-frontend coherence Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(prefixcache): reject TTL<=0 in Config.Validate (eviction ticker would panic) Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nodes): make capture+delete atomic in bulk node_models removal paths MarkOffline, MarkDraining, and the Register re-register cleanup ran the nodeModelNames SELECT and the bulk node_models DELETE as two separate statements on r.db with no transaction. A SetNodeModel landing between the two was deleted but its replica-removed hook never fired, leaving the prefix-cache index pointing at a removed replica until TTL or candidacy self-heal. Wrap the capture and the delete in a single db.Transaction in each path (mirroring how Deregister already does it). The captured model names are collected into a slice declared outside the closure; the replica-removed hook fires for each only after the transaction commits, so a rollback never invalidates the index for a removal that did not persist. The set of fired hooks now equals exactly the set of node_models rows actually deleted, with no interleaving gap. The status flip in MarkOffline/MarkDraining (setStatus) is a separate, pre-existing operation and routing already filters non-healthy nodes, so it stays outside the transaction; return contracts are unchanged. Deregister was already correct and is untouched. The cheap-path skip (no hook -> skip the SELECT) is preserved. Adds a spec asserting MarkOffline fires hooks for exactly the rows it deletes and leaves no node_models row behind (consistent snapshot). Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * chore(nodes): debug logging for prefix-cache routing decisions and observations Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(radixtree): match shared prefixes by valuing every node on insert Insert recorded the value (node id) only on the final node of the key chain, leaving every intermediate prefix node valueless. LongestMatch returns the deepest node that hasValue, so two chains that share a leading block but diverge in the tail never matched: only exact-repeat queries hit. That broke the prefix-cache routing core use cases (shared system prompt, multi-turn extension, volatile tail), all of which rely on prefix matching rather than exact-repeat. Set value/hasValue/lastSeen at every node along the chain so each prefix-block node remembers the node id that served that prefix (SGLang/vLLM-style). The deepest match wins, and the last writer owns a shared prefix node (a recency heuristic: the most recent chain through a block is the one most likely still warm). size now counts valued nodes, which is the intended meaning. Updated radixtree tests to the new semantics: deepest-prefix test uses non-overlapping chains, a new test asserts last-writer-owns-shared-node, Evict/Remove/MaxEntries expectations recomputed for per-prefix-node counting, and a shared-prefix LongestMatch red test added. Added a prefixcache Decide test proving a prefix-only query routes to the warm node. No prefixcache .go logic changed. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(distributed): lock in prefix-cache routing behavior end to end Add a DB-backed e2e spec that drives SmartRouter against a real NodeRegistry (Postgres testcontainer) and the real prefixcache.Index radix-tree provider, using a fake gRPC backend factory so no real inference runs. Covers the five behaviors validated by hand: 1. Cold miss + observe: an unseen prefix chain cold-places and is recorded. 2. Hot-match affinity: the same chain returns to its warm node X. 3. Shared-prefix match: a divergent chain sharing X's leading prefix still routes to X (the radix-tree regression we fixed). 4. Negative control: an unrelated chain is a cold miss, not a false hot match on X. 5. Failover + invalidation: removing X's replica fires the registry chokepoint hook to invalidate the prefix entry, and the chain fails over to surviving node Y and re-homes there. Replaces the need for manual docker-compose re-runs. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * refactor(prefixcache): make prefix-cache affinity replica-granular Track prefix-cache affinity per loaded replica (a backend process with its own KV cache) instead of per node, so multiple replicas of the same model on one node each keep distinct affinity and a hot prefix routes back to the exact replica that served it. - radixtree: add RemoveFunc(pred) and reimplement Remove on top of it. - prefixcache: introduce ReplicaKey{NodeID, Replica}; Index/Candidate/ PrefixDecision/Select/Provider now key on ReplicaKey. Add InvalidateNode to drop every replica of a node; Invalidate drops one replica. Select returns (ReplicaKey, bool) and gains a deterministic least-in-flight eligible fallback (tiebreak NodeID then Replica). - messaging: carry Replica on PrefixCacheObserveEvent and PrefixCacheInvalidateEvent (Replica < 0 means all replicas of the node). - Sync delegates + broadcasts with replica; InvalidateNode broadcasts Replica=-1; ApplyInvalidate routes negative replica to InvalidateNode. This is part 1 of 2; the registry/router/wiring consumers are updated separately. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(distributed): make prefix-cache routing replica-granular Wire the SmartRouter, NodeRegistry, and distributed startup to the replica-keyed prefixcache API. Affinity is now tracked per replica (each replica is a separate process with its own KV cache), so a prefix served by (node,0) no longer leaks onto the same-node sibling (node,1). - RoutePreference gains PreferredReplica; FindAndLockNodeWithModel locks the EXACT (node_id, replica_index) row, falling through to the default ORDER BY when that replica is not loaded. - SetReplicaRemovedHook now carries replicaIndex; RemoveNodeModel fires the specific replica, RemoveAllNodeModelReplicas and the four bulk node-scoped deletes fire replica<0 (all replicas of the node). - buildPreference builds one Candidate per loaded replica and locks the exact replica the policy chose; observePrefix records the served ReplicaKey at every call site. - distributed.go routes the hook to InvalidateNode (replica<0) or Invalidate(key). - Tests updated to the replica-keyed API plus new coverage: a hot prefix on (node,0) prefers replica 0 over the same-node sibling (router unit + e2e), and FindAndLock locks the exact preferred replica. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(distributed): derive prefix chain from messages for tokenizer-template models Prefix-cache-aware routing built its prompt-prefix chain from the rendered prompt string `s` in ModelInference. For models with TemplateConfig.UseTokenizerTemplate the frontend never renders a prompt - the backend tokenizes the structured messages itself - so `s` is empty, the chain is empty, and routing silently falls back to round-robin. That covers the bulk of modern chat models (qwen3, llama3, ...), so the feature effectively never engaged for them. Fall back to messagesPrefixSource(messages): a deterministic, prefix-stable head-first serialization of the conversation (role + content per turn). Two requests sharing a leading system prompt and early turns share a leading byte prefix, which ExtractChain maps to a shared chain prefix - landing both on the same cache-warm replica. The rendered `s` is still preferred when present (higher fidelity for non-template models). Found via the multi-replica-per-node e2e: zero "prefix-cache routing decision" logs despite per-request Route calls, traced to the empty-chain guard.
