localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto bf93008ef3 fix(backends): bound temporary scratch files (#11941)
Backend processes shared the host temporary directory, so crashes could leave request images and audio behind until the filesystem filled. Give each process a locked LocalAI-owned runtime, remove scratch on exit, and sweep only marked abandoned runtimes at the next start.

Also close known request error-path leaks in the Python media backends, CrispASR, LongCat Video, and stable-diffusion.cpp.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 8b5f62cc02 fix(distributed): bound ephemeral staging (#11924)
* docs: design ephemeral staging retention

High-frequency camera and audio inputs can fill a worker before the current six-hour cleanup window expires.

Define a one-hour retention policy that preserves recently modified request payloads.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6

* docs: make ephemeral staging request-owned

Time-based retention can still fill a worker under bursty or high-rate input. Define request-lifecycle cleanup with capacity reservation and crash recovery.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6

* feat(distributed): release exact staged keys

Request inputs need transport-neutral cleanup after backend calls. Add authenticated exact-key deletion for HTTP and coordinated cache eviction before shared-object deletion for S3/NATS.

Preserve URL metacharacters as filename data, reject unsafe keys, and remove upload sidecars while pruning empty request directories.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6

* fix(distributed): release staged request inputs

Ephemeral inputs remained on workers after inference completed. Release each exact key after synchronous and streaming calls, including partial staging failures.

Use a bounded cleanup context so caller cancellation cannot suppress release. Preserve caller requests and backend results when cleanup fails.

* feat(worker): bound ephemeral staging capacity

Concurrent staging can otherwise exceed its byte limit or consume reserved filesystem headroom. Explicit states keep bytes charged through each reservation, write, and commit transition.

Use a synchronized waiter count to prove Commit blocks until bounded writers close, and retain committed baselines across re-reservation.

* feat(worker): enforce ephemeral staging bounds

Share capacity accounting across HTTP and S3 request inputs so workers
reject uploads before exhausting their filesystem. Reconcile exact release

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 44de82e7c7 docs(dco): let maintainer-operated automation sign off (#11850)
The AI-assistant policy says an AI agent must never add a Signed-off-by
trailer, because only a human can certify the DCO. That is right for the
case it was written for: an assistant helping a contributor who then
signs off themselves.

It does not fit automation a maintainer runs. Those pull requests have no
human submitter, so nothing ever signs and the DCO check blocks them
permanently. Sixty-one open pull requests from the maintenance bot are in
exactly that state, every one of them correctly following the documented
rule.

Carve out the case: automation a maintainer operates signs off with that
maintainer's identity. The maintainer certifies the DCO, as they do for a
commit they typed by hand, because they configured the automation, own
its output, and take responsibility on merge. The Assisted-by trailer
still records that a model wrote the code, so provenance is unchanged.

Keep the exception narrow. An assistant helping an outside contributor
still must not sign off, and a bot must not sign for anyone but its
operator, including on a contributor's branch it pushes to.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 9afe10ba21 fix(distributed): survive a slow control-plane database (#11837)
* fix(distributed): evict only when a node is known to be full

scheduleNewModel asked the registry for a free replica slot and treated
every error as "this node is full", so a control-plane database slow
enough to time out the lookup evicted a healthy loaded model. The
evicted process died, a peer frontend still holding its address dialled
the dead port and retried, and the model thrashed between nodes. The
comment on the branch already said it meant a full node; the code never
tested for it.

Evict only on ErrNoFreeSlot. Any other error now returns and names the
lookup that failed, so a slow database degrades into a diagnosable
load failure instead of into lost work.

An audit of the rest of the router found one branch of the same shape:
node selection discarded the error from its last-resort finder, so a
database timeout there also produced a nil node and evicted for it.
That path now returns unless the finder said gorm.ErrRecordNotFound,
which is the only answer that means the cluster had no node to give.
No other destructive branch in router.go fires on a generic error.

* fix(distributed): checkpoint heartbeat writes instead of writing every beat

Every heartbeat UPDATEd backend_nodes. Six nodes at a ten second beat is
roughly 52,000 writes a day against a six-row table, and that churn is
what turned a blocked autovacuum into a 460 MB table whose six-row scan
cost 867 ms and timed out the queries that place models.

A beat carrying only a fresher timestamp now waits for the checkpoint
interval. Each reported field is compared against the value last
persisted rather than tested for presence, because a worker sends its
disk figures on every beat and presence alone would suppress nothing.
A node's first beat, a changed total VRAM, total disk or GPU vendor,
and a free VRAM, RAM or disk reading that has moved more than 256 MiB
from the persisted value all still write at once. A node that is not
active is never suppressed, because it recovers only when the health
monitor sees a fresh timestamp.

The persisted column is up to one interval stale by design, so the
stale-node threshold moves from 60s to 5m to cover it.

* fix(distributed): fail worker readiness when a held backend is unreachable

The readiness gate tracked only the NATS link, so a worker whose backend
processes had died still answered /readyz with 200 and kept receiving
loads. One node did exactly that during an incident: it reported healthy
while its backend port refused connections, and every load routed to it
failed.

Readiness is now the NATS link and, for each backend process the worker
believes it is running, a short dial of its recorded address. A worker
holding no backends stays ready, because idle is a healthy state.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* fix(distributed): keep a starting backend out of the readiness dial set

A backend process is inserted into the supervisor map with its gRPC
address already recorded, but the address refuses connections until the
gRPC server binds, which the startup poll allows up to 30 seconds for and
which takes 10 to 15 seconds on a slow node. The new data-path readiness
probe dialled that address straight away, so a worker answered /readyz
with 503 for the whole of every cold backend start. The container
HEALTHCHECK absorbs that, but a Kubernetes readinessProbe at 10s does
not, and the worker would leave rotation each time it loaded a model.

The skip for a stopping process had no counterpart at the other end of
the lifecycle. Backend processes now carry a serving flag, set where the
startup health-check gate succeeds, and the probe dials only processes
that are serving and not yet stopping. backendStartStillValid becomes
markBackendServing: the check and the mark must share one lock hold, so
the flag can only ever land on the entry the key currently owns.

* feat(distributed): export control-plane database health gauges

Four transactions wedged on a corrupt index held the vacuum horizon open
for 42 days. Nothing measured it, so the first symptom anyone saw was
models failing to load six weeks later, by which time a six-row table
had grown to 460 MB.

Export the oldest xmin age, the longest open transaction, and the dead
tuple ratio on the registry tables. The first is the number that would
have caught it: it sits near zero in health and was 21,002,291.

Sampling is scrape-driven behind a cache, and a failed sample reports
the last good values rather than failing the scrape, because these
gauges matter most when the database is already struggling.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* fix(distributed): rate-limit failed control-plane database samples

The cache advanced its clock only on a successful sample, so once the
database started failing every scrape retried the query immediately.
That turned the cache off in the one regime it exists for: a retry
storm at scrape cadence aimed at a database already in trouble. A
catalog read that consistently exceeds the 5 second timeout also paid
that cost on every scrape, with all scrapes serialised behind the
sampler mutex.

Time every attempt rather than every success, so failures and timeouts
cost the same interval as good samples. Whether a good sample exists
moves to its own field, keeping the gauges absent until the first
success and holding the last good values through later failures.

Also note in the runbook that pg_stat_activity cannot see prepared
transactions or replication slot xmins, so a healthy-looking xmin age
does not by itself rule out a blocked horizon.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* test(distributed): pin that a failing database evicts nothing

Exercises the real distributed stack against a control-plane database that
refuses the router's slot lookup, and asserts the scheduler reports the
lookup it could not answer instead of falling through to eviction.

The failure is injected with privileges rather than a statement timeout. A
timeout set with ALTER DATABASE also breaks AutoMigrate, and it leaks into
every later spec in the suite unless it is reset, so the spec would end up
testing the migration rather than the scheduler. Instead the spec creates a
dedicated login role, points a second gorm handle at it, and revokes that
role's SELECT on node_models.replica_index. This has to be a separate role:
the test container's owner is a PostgreSQL superuser, and superusers bypass
every privilege check, so revoking from CURRENT_USER is recorded and then
ignored.

The revoke is scoped to one column on purpose. Revoking the whole table
would also blind node selection, which runs first and has a guard of its
own, so the scheduler would never reach the slot lookup this spec is about.
Leaving every other column readable lets selection succeed and lands the
refusal exactly on NextFreeReplicaIndex, which plucks replica_index. The
grant is restored from BeforeEach via DeferCleanup, so a failing assertion
or a panic cannot hand the next spec a role that cannot read.

Reverting the eviction guard fails this spec, which is the point of it: the
router then reports "no replica slot on keeper and eviction failed" for an
error that was never evidence the node was full. The surviving-row
assertions are secondary under this injection, because the eviction path
reads whole node_models rows and the same revoke blinds it too; a comment
in the spec says so, so nobody mistakes them for the load-bearing ones.

Also documents why the vector store and the control plane must not share a
database: the removable-tuple cutoff is per database, not per table, so one
transaction left open anywhere stops autovacuum reclaiming the node
registry, and a six-row table bloats into hundreds of megabytes. The note
names LOCALAI_AUTH_DATABASE_URL and LOCALAI_AGENT_POOL_DATABASE_URL as the
two knobs that must differ, and the localai_control_plane_oldest_xmin_age
gauge as the way to see it coming.

grep for StaleNodeThreshold and HealthCheckInterval in
core/config/runtime_settings_registry.go returns no matches: the
distributed duration knobs are not exposed as runtime settings, so the new
heartbeat checkpoint interval follows them and needs no registry entry.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* fix(distributed): close the review gaps in the heartbeat and health path

The stale-node threshold moved from 60 seconds to 5 minutes in this branch
because checkpointing makes last_heartbeat up to one checkpoint interval
behind by design. Two things were left inconsistent with that. NewHealthMonitor
still fell back to a hardcoded 60 seconds when handed a zero threshold, so any
future caller that stopped passing the configured value would mark every
healthy, beating node offline on every cycle. And the threshold itself had a
flag-name constant but no AppOption, no CLI field and no env binding, so an
operator who widened --node-heartbeat-checkpoint had no way to widen the
threshold to match. The fallback now tracks config.DefaultStaleNodeThreshold,
and --stale-node-threshold / LOCALAI_STALE_NODE_THRESHOLD is wired the same
way its sibling is.

Heartbeat suppression compared the RAW reported free VRAM against the
snapshot, but the column persists capAvailable(raw, ceiling). On any node with
a VRAM budget set, whose actual free VRAM oscillates above that ceiling, every
beat looked material while the persisted value never moved: suppression was
defeated on exactly the nodes an operator had configured, and the write
amplification this branch exists to remove came straight back there. The
comparison and the snapshot now both hold the capped figure, so they measure
the same quantity as the column.

Fixing that needs the ceiling, and reading it cost a SELECT on every beat,
including suppressed ones. The skip decision therefore moved ahead of the
updates map and now reuses the ceiling cached on the last durable write, while
the write path still re-reads it before capping anything. A ceiling that
changed inside the checkpoint window can cost one extra or one late write; it
cannot persist a wrong figure. A suppressed beat now costs no query at all.

Also: the operations section now says to grant pg_read_all_stats to the
LocalAI role, because PostgreSQL blanks backend_xmin and xact_start for
sessions owned by other roles, and the transaction that wedged the horizon in
the incident was a co-located vector store connecting as a different role, so
without the grant the new gauge sees only our own sessions. The compose
healthcheck comment now describes readiness covering the backend data path,
and the control-plane gauge registration records the otel.SetMeterProvider
ordering it depends on.

* fix(distributed): resolve the gauge's table names through gorm

The dead-tuple gauge queried pg_stat_user_tables against a hardcoded list
of three table names. Those three do not agree on where their name comes
from: BackendNode and NodeModel take gorm's default pluralisation, while
GalleryOperationRecord overrides TableName, and gallery_operations
already had a constant of its own that the list duplicated.

A literal list keeps compiling after any of that moves, and the query
then matches nothing. The failure is silent and it points the wrong way:
a dead-tuple ratio that matched no rows reports the same numbers as a
cluster with no bloat, so the gauge would look healthiest exactly when it
had stopped working.

Ask gorm what each model is stored as instead, which follows a TableName
override and the default pluralisation alike. A spec pins that the
override really is consulted: naive pluralisation of the type would give
gallery_operation_records, so the resolution cannot quietly stop asking
the model.

server unless the unrelated 'start on system boot' option was enabled.

- Start the LocalAI server automatically when the launcher opens and right
  after a fresh install. The new auto_start_server config key defaults to
  enabled and gets a settings checkbox; the legacy auto_start key was never
  honored nor exposed, so every existing launcher.json carries an
  unintentional false and is deliberately left behind.
- Fix the welcome window suppressing itself: its 'don't show this again'
  checkbox was initialized with the inverted value, and SetChecked fired
  the change callback which persisted ShowWelcome=false on the very first
  showing.
- Surface auto-start failures through the systray startup-error dialog,
  since there is no visible window during auto-start.
- Pass --app-version to fyne package so the app stops reporting itself as
  version 0.0.0 in the About box.
- Document the first-launch flow (menu bar app, auto-start, WebUI URL) in
  the macOS getting-started page.
- Repair two launcher specs that never ran in CI: a *bool matched against
  BeTrue and a /tmp assertion that trips on Linux where the test tempdir
  itself lives under /tmp.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 80e3240f2d feat(distributed): key scheduling rules by a model alias (#11771)
Node placement and replica rules could only name a model, so an operator
who pinned "llama3" to the GPU tier had to rewrite the rule whenever a
different model took over that job. An alias already gives a stable name
for whichever model serves it, and a rule on that name makes it a
deployment slot: repoint the alias and the placement follows.

A rule keeps the name the operator chose. Reads resolve that name through
the config loader to the model the rule governs, so the reconciler counts,
schedules and trims replicas of the target, and the router finds an
alias-keyed rule from the target it is already routing. An alias that
resolves to nothing governs nothing loadable, so the reconciler skips it
and the write paths refuse it.

A replica is shared by every name that resolves to it, so only one rule
can decide where it runs. The REST and MCP write paths reject a rule whose
target another rule already governs. A pair that arrives some other way,
such as a seed file or an alias repointed onto a model that already has a
rule, resolves in favour of the rule named after the model itself and then
the oldest, and the rest are listed as shadowed.

The eviction guard is the exception: it matches rules to replicas in raw
SQL inside a locking transaction and cannot resolve an alias. It reads a
stored target that the reconciler refreshes each tick, and falls back to
the rule's own name when that target is empty.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 29899cd1e0 fix(ui): size model fit against the cluster and move node labels into the selector (#11765)
* fix(ui): move node labels into the scheduling selector field

The scheduling page kept a node-label browser open above the rules
whether or not anyone was writing one, while the field that actually
needs labels, the rule's node selector, was two bare text inputs with no
hint of what the cluster reports.

The browser is gone. The selector's key input now completes against the
label keys the cluster uses, and the value input offers only the values
that key takes. The roster already loads for the page, so the
suggestions cost no request, and a roster that fails to load costs the
admin the hints and nothing else.

Suggestions stay suggestions: a key no node reports yet still commits as
typed, which is how an admin writes a rule before labelling the nodes
for it.

* fix(distributed): size model fit against the cluster, not the frontend

The models page asked the frontend how much memory a model may occupy.
In distributed mode the frontend is usually a GPU-less pod while every
model runs on a worker, so a fleet of GPU nodes was told it could only
run the smallest CPU build. The variant picker's fits flag and its
auto-selection came from the same place, as did the hardware
recommendations.

The registry now reports the largest single healthy backend node. The
largest node, not the fleet total: a model loads into one node, so four
16GB workers are not a home for a 40GB model. An operator-set VRAM
budget caps a node's contribution, because the scheduler refuses a load
above that ceiling anyway, and a GPU node beats a CPU node holding more
system RAM.

GET /api/resources and GET /api/models carry this as an additional
cluster object. Their aggregate and ram fields keep reporting the
frontend's own hardware, which is what the resource monitor shows.
Variant selection judges backends against the union of the capabilities
present in the cluster, the way backend discovery already did.

Every path degrades to the local host: no cluster object in single-node
mode, and none when the registry cannot be read, so a hiccup narrows the
answer back to single-node behaviour rather than marking the whole
catalog too large.

The verdicts now name the node they belong to, since a model fits
somewhere or nowhere.

Ettore Di Giacinto 3953448f60 fix(distributed): resync stored config revisions at startup
The controller pins a model's replicas to a stored revision and rejects
any request carrying a different one. Nothing ever re-derived that value
from the configuration on disk: it moved only on an edit, a gallery
install, or a peer's change broadcast. An inference request may only
establish a revision, never replace one.

So any other way for the two to diverge left the model permanently
unroutable. A configuration edited while a frontend was down lands
there, and so does a change in what the revision is computed over: an
upgrade that alters the hashed form leaves every stored revision
describing a configuration that no longer exists. The only recovery was
deleting the row by hand, which is not something a cluster should need.

Each frontend now reconciles the stored revisions against the loaded
configurations at startup and republishes the ones that disagree. Only
those: republishing quarantines every replica loaded under the old
revision, so doing it for a model that did not drift would unload a
healthy replica for nothing. A model with no stored revision has never
been served and is left for its first request to establish.

Ettore Di Giacinto e6269e3cdd fix(distributed): reclaim replica slots held by abandoned loads
A replica row in staging or loading holds its slot, because slot
allocation counts every state except unloading. Nothing ever reclaimed
such a row: every reconciler pass and the router's eviction query filter
state = "loaded", and the per-model probe skips rows without an address,
which is exactly what a row that never finished loading has.

So a worker that dropped out mid-transfer left a row that pinned the
only replica slot for that model on that node. Scheduling then found no
free slot and eviction found nothing it was allowed to evict, and the
request failed with "no replica slot on <node> and eviction failed: all
models busy". The state persisted until an operator intervened.

The reconciler now reclaims a row stuck before serving when no load job
is driving it. Ownership is decided by the job's LastProgress heartbeat,
not by elapsed time: staging a large checkpoint legitimately runs for a
long while without touching the replica row, so a deadline would either
be a model-size cliff or reclaim a healthy transfer. That heartbeat is
the same signal job takeover already trusts. Any error reading the job
leaves the slot held, because holding one for another pass costs a
scheduling opportunity while a wrong reclaim restarts a multi-gigabyte
transfer.

Ettore Di Giacinto c541dbeef4 fix(distributed): check a node answers before scheduling onto it
A node's status comes from its HTTP heartbeat. Backend installs travel
over NATS. The two are independent, so a worker that dies stops
answering on the bus at once but stays healthy in the database until its
heartbeat ages out. Inside that window the scheduler picked a node it
could not reach, and the request failed with "no responders available"
rather than moving to a node that was up.

The scheduler now probes the node it selected and, when nothing answers,
marks it unhealthy and selects again. The demotion is what makes the
retry terminate: the next selection reads only healthy nodes. It also
tells the other frontends what this one learned, so the cluster does not
rediscover a dead worker one failed request at a time.

Only nats.ErrNoResponders counts as absent. A worker that answers slowly
stays eligible, because dropping it would cost capacity that is really
there. The probe reuses the models.running subject: a new subject would
go unanswered by workers that have not been upgraded, and every one of
them would then look dead.

Ettore Di Giacinto cee87d1608 fix(distributed): expire staged request files on the worker
A request that carries a file stages it to the worker, which writes it
under its staging directory. Nothing removed it afterwards. The frontend
expires ephemeral keys from object storage, but that sweep never covered
a worker's local disk, so every image, audio clip and video a worker
ever served stayed on it.

One worker had accumulated 175 request directories over three months.
The volume reached 100 percent, and from that point every backend start
failed because the process manager could not create a state directory.

The worker now sweeps its ephemeral staging directory on a timer and
once at startup, so files left by a crash are reclaimed too. Staged
model files live beside that directory and are not touched.

Ettore Di Giacinto 04735cd1f6 fix(distributed): stamp config revision at load time
The request middleware merges the caller's prediction parameters into
its copy of the model config. core/backend.ModelOptions then hashed
that copy, so the revision identified the request body rather than the
persisted configuration.

EstablishModelConfigRevision stores the first revision it sees and
requires an exact match afterwards. The first request after a restart
therefore pinned the model to its own temperature, top_p and stop
values, and every later request that sent different ones failed with
"stale model config revision". No config edit was involved.

The loader now stamps the revision when it materializes a config,
before any request override reaches it, and ModelOptions reads that
stamp. Model administration keeps hashing the same persisted config, so
both paths agree on one revision per configuration.

* test: drop the static network lint in favour of real isolation

The offline test suite already prevents tests from reaching the network
twice over: run-test-linux-offline.sh puts the test process in a cgroup
and REJECTs egress outside the private ranges, and HardenedTransport
installs testnetwork.LocalGuard to refuse dials that resolve to a public
address. Both fail the test with a precise error at the moment of the
dial.

test-network-lint.sh added neither. Its diff stage defaulted to a HEAD
base, so on a clean checkout it compared the tree against itself and
inspected nothing; the branch's own commits were never examined. It only
produced output when an earlier job step dirtied the tree, and then it
matched a bare https?:// against whatever changed. make react-ui runs
npm install rather than npm ci, so CI rewrote
core/http/react-ui/package-lock.json and the lint reported an npm
registry URL as forbidden test network access:

  +      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/hono/-/hono-4.12.25.tgz",

Its fingerprint stage was self-defeating in a quieter way: hashing the
whole tree's network-mechanism inventory meant every rebase onto a master
that touched any _test.go needed a manual baseline bump, so the check
mostly caught its own staleness.

Remove the script, its make target and the two prerequisite edges, along
with the test-network: fixture markers that existed only to suppress it.

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.

validation rejected the pair the server itself had assembled. Zero the

request that explicitly pairs a half-life with a non-decayed scheme
still 400s.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 6fb9ab38aa feat(gallery): add vllm.cpp text-generation models (#11511)
Adds eight curated vllm-cpp entries to the model gallery. Until now the
backend had gallery coverage only for MiniMax-H3 video, so serving text on
it meant hand-writing engine_args.

The flagship tier is what vllm.cpp gates its correctness and speed claims
on: Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B in NVFP4, each with a speculative
sibling (MTP on both, DFlash on the 27B). Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B covers
agentic tool use, and Qwen3-4B / Qwen3-0.6B in bf16 are the entries that
run where NVFP4 cannot, CPU included.

Three details are load-bearing rather than incidental:

- The 27B entries pin revision 890bdef7. That repository was later
  re-quantized in place from NVFP4 to FP8 W8A8 under the same name, so an
  unpinned entry resolves to different weights and reports nothing.
- Qwen3-Coder names tool_parser: qwen3_coder explicitly. Its dialect is
  byte-identical on the wire to step3p5's, so chat-template sniffing
  cannot separate them and auto-detection picks wrong.
- enable_prefix_caching is deliberately left unset everywhere. It defaults
  on for dense models and off for the GDN hybrids, and that per-model
  default is the right answer.

num_blocks is sized per model from its real KV footprint rather than
copied between entries, which ranges from 20 KiB/token on the 35B to
144 KiB/token on the 4B.

Docs: adds features/vllm-cpp.md covering installation, the model table,
the pinning rationale and how to choose between the speculative variants,
and cross-links it from the existing engine_args reference. It also
records that the CUDA images are built for Blackwell only, which is
narrower than vllm.cpp's own ten-architecture release and makes an
otherwise cryptic "no kernel image is available" failure legible.

Verified: gallery suite green; all eight decode and validate as a
ModelConfig. qwen3-0.6b-vllm-cpp confirmed end to end on a real cluster,
chat plus engine-parsed tool_calls. The NVFP4 entries are not yet
runtime-verified: no available node has kernels for them.

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 0c9d4bf9cc fix(vllm-cpp): build every CUDA architecture the platform can host (#11512)
The vllm-cpp CUDA images were built for Blackwell only: 120a;121a on
amd64 and 121a alone on arm64. vllm.cpp's own release archive builds ten
architectures, so LocalAI shipped one or two of them.

The failure mode is the problem. An unlisted card is not slower, it dies
at the first request with "no kernel image is available for execution on
the device", long after `backends install` reported success. That covers
A100, A10/3090, L4/4090/RTX 6000 Ada, H100/H200, B200, B300, Jetson Orin
and Jetson Thor, and it is how a Jetson Thor node was found serving
nothing at all.

amd64 now builds 80;86;89;90a;100a;103a;120a;121a and arm64 builds
87;90a;100a;110;121a, split by where the silicon exists: Jetson is
arm64-only, desktop 120a is amd64-only, and 90a/100a are on both because
of GH200/GB200.

Triton-AOT stays ON for both, which the old comment said was impossible.
It is not, at the version we pin: only maintainer REGEN needs a single
arch, while the BUILDER path embeds every vendored cubin tree and selects
by exact SM, so 87/103a/110/120a take the portable CUDA kernels and can
never load a neighbouring cubin. Upstream ships its ten-SM archive that
way.

The CUDA 13 guard now covers both branches rather than amd64 alone. arm64
needs compute_121a just as much, and CI already builds it with 13.

Cost is smaller than the arch count suggests, because gencode is
per-source: fp4-mma still resolves to 120a;121a, and the CUTLASS
scaled-mm kernels to one arch each, so the added architectures do not
multiply the expensive translation units.

Verified: flag generation checked for both branches, CUDA 12 still
refused, CPU build untouched; both arch lists expanded through vllm.cpp's
own vt_cuda_gencode_options and per-feature arch gating, and all six
vendored Triton trees confirmed intact, at the exact pinned commit. A
real compile is CI-only: there is no CUDA toolchain on the dev box.
