mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 2cadf319a0 feat(realtime): LFM3-Audio speech-to-speech on llama.cpp, remove liquid-audio (#12958)
* chore(backends): remove the liquid-audio Python backend

The backend targets liquid-audio, which loads LFM2 checkpoints only.
Remove its directory, the gallery file and the LFM2.5-Audio model
entries, the library and generated backend gallery entries, the
backend matrix and CI job, the Makefile targets and the golden test
fixtures that listed it.

* refactor(config): drop liquid-audio from capabilities, importers and UI

With the liquid-audio backend gone, remove its capability entry, its
importer, its artifact-gate entry and the realtime_audio heuristic
that only matched that backend. realtime_audio is now set only
through known_usecases. Update the Talk and fine-tuning pages, the
docs and the swagger text that named the backend.

* chore(llama-cpp): bump llama.cpp to e486a4b5

Move the llama.cpp pin to e486a4b559617dc88bf79978996f6c670b6bbc9d,
the master head of 2026-10-28. It contains the LFM3-Audio support
(ggml-org/llama.cpp#31257) and the realtime server split
(ggml-org/llama.cpp#31269).

The score task patch is regenerated against the new pin. It applies
with git apply and with patch -p1, with no offset and no fuzz. Its
hunks in server-task.h and server-context.cpp were rebased by hand
next to SERVER_TASK_TYPE_REALTIME and the control dispatch.

The C++ backend was built on CPU for this change: the llama, mtmd and
server-context libraries and the grpc-server binary link.

* feat(llama-cpp): compile server-realtime.cpp into grpc-server

server-context.cpp includes server-realtime.h, and its realtime slot
type is defined in server-realtime.cpp. Upstream compiles that file
into the server library. The gRPC server is one translation unit, so
it must include the file too, or the link fails.

The include is guarded by __has_include. Forks that predate the
realtime split do not ship the file, so they keep building as before.

* chore(llama-cpp): probe realtime and TTS voice support in prepare.sh

prepare.sh writes llama_compat.h from probes on the checkout. Add two:
LOCALAI_HAS_REALTIME (SERVER_TASK_TYPE_REALTIME in server-task.h) and
LOCALAI_HAS_TTS_VOICE (set_voice in mtmd-helper.h). The probes let the
gRPC server choose the realtime and voice code paths per checkout, so
forks without them keep compiling.

* feat(llama-cpp): advertise speech recognition and speech-to-speech

llama-cpp now registers the AudioTranscription and AudioToAudioStream
RPCs, with the transcript and realtime_audio usecases. The default
usecase stays chat, so a plain GGUF is still a chat model. The
backend implements the RPCs in a follow-up change; until then the
calls return UNIMPLEMENTED.

* feat(config): add pipeline.any_to_any for speech-to-speech models

A realtime_audio model that serves the whole speech loop itself sets
pipeline.any_to_any. The flag is off by default, so chained pipelines
and existing realtime_audio configs are unchanged. The realtime_audio
heuristic stays explicit: a llama-cpp model is never a Talk-page model
unless known_usecases says so.

* feat(config): read the audio encoder and speech-to-speech projector flags

Add HasAudioEncoderProjector for clip.has_audio_encoder and
HasSpeechToSpeechProjector, which requires the LFM3 audio encoder
family together with the gen-audio decoder. Qwen3-TTS sets both encoder
flags too, so the flags alone cannot tell it apart from LFM3.

An mmproj that carries the LFM3 audio encoder and the gen-audio decoder
now imports with known_usecases realtime_audio, chat, transcript and
tts, pipeline.any_to_any: true, the parallel:2 option and the tokenizer
template. Other gen-audio projectors keep the TTS-only result, Qwen3-TTS
included. The probe runs against a local HTTP server in the tests.

* feat(llama-cpp): named-voice TTS and the LFM3 ASR prompt

Models without a speaker reference (LFM3-Audio) take a named voice
through their "tts" chat template instead of a reference file. The
request is validated with needs_reference=false, the prompt is rendered
with common_chat_get_tts_prompt(), and the voice is set on the gen-audio
input. Qwen3-TTS Base keeps the reference-file rule. The branch is
guarded by LOCALAI_HAS_TTS_VOICE, so forks without named voices keep the
old behaviour.

Transcription takes its prompt from common_chat_get_asr_prompt(). LFM3
gets a system turn that names the language and an empty user turn.
Qwen3-ASR's preset is unchanged: fixed user text, no system turn, and a
caller prompt is still appended after a newline. The preset call is
guarded by a new LOCALAI_HAS_ASR_PRESET probe.

The pure parts sit in tts_request_options.h and transcription_prompt.h,
with standalone tests run by backend/cpp/run-unit-tests.sh.

Add the test-extra-backend-llama-cpp-lfm3 target. It runs the tts,
ttsstream and transcription specs against LFM3-Audio GGUF weights. It is
a manual run and is not wired into CI.

* test(e2e): mock AudioToAudioStream and pending realtime S2S specs

The mock backend serves AudioToAudioStream deterministically: session
created, commit with RMS, a tool call on the first turn with tools, then
transcript pieces and paced 24 kHz tone frames, with response.cancel
ending a reply as cancelled.

The realtime S2S specs cover the mock and real-weights variants. They
skip until the /v1/realtime S2S path lands, so the mock suite stays
green in CI.

* feat(llama-cpp): speech-to-speech AudioToAudioStream on the realtime slot

Implement AudioToAudioStream on upstream's realtime slot, so a model
that answers after the audio (LFM3-Audio) can hold a conversation over
the existing duplex RPC. The proto schema does not change: tools travel
in the config, tool calls leave as function_call_arguments.done and tool
results arrive as a function_call_output item.

realtime_session.h keeps what needs no model: the turn text derived
from the chat template (with a tool turn), the conversation state, a
filter that keeps <tool_call> blocks out of the transcript and drops
audio produced inside them, and the translation of slot results into
events. grpc-server.cpp wires it to the slot with control tasks and
parses calls with the parser the chat template selects.

The unit test uses a fake renderer. A ctest-only check renders the real
LFM3 template and compares the slot text with the full render.

* feat(gallery): add the LFM3-Audio-2B entries

Two llama-cpp entries for LiquidAI/LFM3-Audio-2B-GGUF, the Q4_K_M
default (lfm3-audio-2b) and the Q8_0 build (lfm3-audio-2b-q8), both
with the Q8_0 audio projector. Each declares pipeline.any_to_any and the
realtime_audio, chat, transcript and tts usecases the importer writes
for an LFM3 projector, with parallel:2 and the tokenizer template. The
Q4 entry lists the Q8 one as a variant.

File sizes and sha256 come from the Hugging Face API for the pinned
repo revision. Speaker reference files and the VAD model are not part
of the entries: VAD stays optional.

* docs: describe LFM3-Audio speech-to-speech and its gallery entries

Adds a speech-to-speech section to the Realtime API page (any_to_any
configuration, VAD versus manual commit, tools, transcripts, barge-in,
limits), a pipeline.any_to_any row, a llama.cpp speech-to-speech row in
the compatibility table, and LFM3-Audio mentions on the TTS and ASR
pages. The feature is marked experimental: the behaviour follows the
backend session contract and has not been run with real weights.

* feat(realtime): run any-to-any models on AudioToAudioStream

A realtime_audio model with pipeline.any_to_any now opens one duplex
stream to the backend and keeps it for the session, replacing the
"any-to-any models not implemented" branch. The chained pipeline is
unchanged.

The endpoint forwards input audio (with a pre-roll from speech start
when a VAD model is set, otherwise every chunk and a client commit),
sends response.create, and turns the backend's events into the usual
realtime events: audio and transcript deltas, tool calls through the
existing function_call items, and a single response.done. A function
call output is forwarded before the next response. Barge-in sends
response.cancel ahead of the new speech and stops forwarding audio at
once. The user's speech is transcribed on the side and reported on the
user item; a failure there does not touch the response.

Server VAD is on only when pipeline.vad is set. Classifier mode,
compaction, streaming.llm, voice gating, sound detection and
semantic_vad are rejected for these models.

The mock backend now matches the llama.cpp contract (session.updated,
the cancel error when idle) and its VAD reports the loud stretches of
the audio, so the S2S e2e specs run a VAD turn. The specs are enabled.

* test(e2e): add the real-weights realtime S2S variant and the gRPC s2s spec

The realtime S2S specs now check reply audio on real models: duration,
loudness, clipping, and keywords found in the model transcript or in a
separate ASR of the output audio. run-realtime-lfm3.sh stages the llama-cpp
and sherpa-onnx backends, the LFM3-Audio files and the sherpa VAD, ASR
and TTS models, then runs the real variant. It is manual and never part of
CI: `make test-realtime` still filters out real-models.

The backend suite gains an s2s capability (spoken turn, tool call, tool
result, spoken answer over AudioToAudioStream) and optional TTS duration
and RMS bounds plus a transcript keyword check, all enabled for
test-extra-backend-llama-cpp-lfm3.

* test(e2e): expect the idle-cancel error from the mock S2S

The mock now answers a response.cancel with no reply running with
response_cancel_not_active, as the llama.cpp backend does. The cancel
spec still treated that cancel as a no-op and read the error as extra
data after the stream ended.

* feat(talk): show any-to-any models as one speech-to-speech model

/api/pipeline-models lists a pipeline.any_to_any model with any_to_any
set and its optional VAD. A realtime_audio model that is not any-to-any
is listed only when it has the four pipeline slots, since the session
takes the chained path for it.

The Talk page shows a speech-to-speech model as one model: no four-slot
view, the VAD slot only when a VAD model is set, and the female and male
voices offered. Without a VAD model the server does not detect turns, so
the page offers Done speaking, which sends input_audio_buffer.commit and
then response.create. Text-only replies stream through
response.output_text.delta and .done.

self_contained stays in the response for clients built before any_to_any.

* fix(realtime): refuse a llama-cpp realtime model without pipeline.any_to_any

* fix(realtime): hold manual-commit S2S audio until the commit

In manual-commit mode the endpoint streamed every appended chunk to the
backend, so input_audio_buffer.clear only emptied the Go buffer while the
model kept the audio, and idle audio filled its context between turns.
Keep the audio in the input buffer and send it, behind pending text and
tool-result items, when the client commits or asks for a response.

Frames and controls now go through one ordered write queue, so no gRPC
send happens under the audio buffer lock. A tool result created while a
VAD turn is open is refused with a clear error. When the stream ends
outside a response the session reports it and closes, and a bare EOF
from Send reports the status that Recv holds.

* test(e2e): make the mock S2S backend keep the llama-cpp session limits

The mock accepted what the real backend refuses and hid two endpoint bugs.
It now treats output_modalities from the config as a fixed session mode and
picks the default per response from the tools set at that time. A fixed text
plus audio mode with tools reads the tool call out loud. After the first
commit or message, session.update of instructions, voice or tools is an
error that does not belong to a response, committing an empty buffer is an
error, and response.create while a reply runs is refused. Errors of a
refused response.create carry response_scoped in their meta.

* fix(realtime): leave the S2S output mode to the backend unless the client sets one

The stream config sent text plus audio when the session had no tools yet.
The llama-cpp backend keeps a mode from the config as a fixed session mode,
and tools added later by session.update never cleared it. The model then
read tool calls out loud. Send output_modalities only when the client chose
them. The backend picks the default of each response from the tools it has
when the response starts.

* feat(llama-cpp): mark the realtime errors that answer a response.create

The error event now carries response_scoped: true when it ends the request
for a response (a refused response.create, a failed commit made by it, or
a stream failure). Other errors, such as a refused session.update or a
commit of an empty buffer, are not about a response and one that runs
keeps generating. The client needs the difference to know whether a
response.done is still coming.

* fix(realtime): end an S2S response only on the errors that belong to it

Every backend error ended the response in flight, although the backend
also reports errors about other things (a refused session.update, a commit
of an empty buffer) and goes on generating. The rest of the reply was lost
and the next response.create met either a refusal or the leftover events of
the old reply. End the response only on an error marked response_scoped,
forward the others to the client and keep waiting for response.done. Drop
the events buffered by an earlier response when a new one starts, and skip
the commit of a turn that forwarded no audio.

* fix(realtime): run the S2S input transcription detached from the commit slot

The commit waited for the side transcription of the user audio while it
held the commit slot, and response.create waits for that slot. The ASR
latency was added before every reply, and on a backend with few slots a
busy ASR task could stall the reply. The model already has the audio, so
run the transcription detached under the session context and release the
slot at once. The transcript is still reported on the user item.

* fix(realtime): stop an S2S reader leak and a cancel that waits on the write queue

The reader waited on a channel it closes itself when the events buffer was
full, so it outlived the session after a turn ended on an error or timed
out. It now also stops when the session closes.

Stopping a response sent the cancel through the write queue and waited for
it before the grace timer started. With backpressure on the stream the wait
never ended and nothing read the events meanwhile. The timer now starts
first and the cancel is only queued.

* feat(realtime): let a chained pipeline run without a VAD model

A pipeline that names no pipeline.vad failed to build, because the
VAD slot was always loaded, and a new session still started with
server_vad. The slot is now optional for chained pipelines as it
already is for any-to-any models: the session starts with turn
detection off and the client commits each turn. Turning server_vad on
for such a session is refused, and a switch to a pipeline without a
VAD drops turn detection.

* feat(gallery): add LFM3-Audio VAD and chained-pipeline entries

the turn detector), and lfm3-audio-2b-pipeline, -pipeline-vad and the
-q8 forms (the model chained through its own transcription, chat and
speech slots, with and without the VAD). The gallery has no
dependencies between models, so the VAD entries state that
silero-vad-ggml must be installed first.

Drop the variants list from lfm3-audio-2b: it let the installer pick
the larger Q8 build on any host with enough memory, so a plain install
of the Q4 entry did not get Q4. All entries are now independent. Tests

A response held the stream slot until it returned, and it ran the tool
calls from inside that scope. A server-side tool starts a follow-up

still held, so the client never got response.done. Run the tool calls
once the slot is free; the event order is unchanged.

* fix(realtime): end an S2S session whose stream dies, and stop queuing after close

A stream that died during a response left the session open: later
requests failed one by one and VAD frames kept being forwarded. The
response now ends the session through the transport, and enqueue drops
requests once the session is closed so the write queue cannot grow.

The writer is now the only caller of Send and of CloseSend. close()
used to call CloseSend while the writer could be inside Send, which
gRPC does not allow.

now claimed and queued under the audio lock only when no turn is open,

* feat(realtime): parse tool calls with the chat template, as upstream

Since ggml-org/llama.cpp#31287 the realtime server handles tools with
the parser and grammar of the chat template. Do the same in the
speech-to-speech stream instead of a hard-coded tag filter and a parse
of the whole text at the end.

- Each response gets a common_chat_session with the tools of the
  session and parallel calls. Its grammar and preserved tokens go into
  the sampling of the response, so the slot keeps the call tokens in
  the text and constrains the call.
- The text of the response is fed to the session piece by piece
  (task_result_state::update_chat_msg). Content deltas become the
  transcript; tool-call deltas are collected into one
  function_call_arguments.done per call at the end. Audio after the
  start of a call is dropped.
- A tool_choice of auto, none or required is accepted in the params of
  the config, in session.update and in response.create, with the
  response overriding the session.
- The tool turn is derived from a conversation in which the assistant
  called a tool, like upstream, not from a plain reply.
- response.done carries raw_text, everything the model wrote with the
  call markup, for a caller that parses it another way. If the parser
  throws, the rest of the response is content and the raw text is the
  way out.

ToolCallFilter is no longer used and goes in the next commit.

The unit tests cover the splitter contract (content, call deltas, the
final piece, whole characters only). realtime_chat_check feeds
LFM3-format text through the session in pieces of 1, 7 and all bytes
and checks the call, the transcript and the grammar.

* refactor(realtime): drop the tool-call text filter

The parser of the chat template now splits content from tool calls, so
ToolCallFilter, which looked for the literal <tool_call> tags, has no
caller. Remove it with its tests. Every case it covered (a call
between text, split tags, several calls, an unfinished call, text after
a call) is handled by the parser, and realtime_chat_check runs the
LFM3 format through it in pieces of different sizes.

* feat(realtime): fall back to the raw text for S2S tool calls

For an any-to-any model, the calls the backend parsed still win. When
there are none and the request had tools, parse the raw text that
response.done now carries the way the chained pipeline parses the text
of its LLM (CleanupLLMResult, ParseFunctionCall, ParseTextContent), so
a call format the backend parser does not know can still be served
with function.xml_format_preset or the other function settings of the
model. The content around the calls replaces the streamed transcript
only if the config captures it, as in the chained path.

Also pass tool_choice to the backend: the session mode with the stream
config and with session.update, and the mode of a response.create
override with that event. A named function cannot be forced, so it is
not sent.

* test(e2e): carry raw_text in the mock S2S response.done

for any other reply.

* fix(functions): parse tool blocks that have text between them

The iterative XML parser stopped at the first scope block that was
preceded by text, so "<tool_call>A</tool_call> then <tool_call>B" gave
one call. Skip text between blocks once a call was found; text before
the first block still ends the parse as before. Blocks that follow each
other, or only whitespace, already worked.

Tests cover three calls back to back and with text between them, with
the lfm3 preset and with auto-detection. They also pin the current
reading of argument values: the parser has no tool schema, so a value
such as 42 or true is read as JSON even when the schema types it as a
string.

Set function.xml_format_preset: lfm3 on the eight LFM3-Audio-2B entries
and in the config the importer writes for a speech-to-speech projector,
so the server parses the call format of the LFM3 chat template when the
backend returns no call (and in the chained pipeline entries, which use
the regular chat path). gallery/index.yaml is regenerated from the
library.

* fix(functions): keep earlier calls when a later block does not parse

After a valid call, text that holds the opening tag again (a prose
mention, a markdown example, a malformed second block) made the parser
treat it as a new block, fail, and return no calls at all. Remember the
state after each complete block and fall back to it when a later one
fails: the calls found so far are kept, parsing stops there and the
remaining text stays in the content.

Text skipped between two valid blocks now goes to the content instead of
being dropped, so StripToolCallMarkup keeps it.

* fix(realtime): do not drop audio after a tool call started

In mixed mode the speech for text written before a call can still be
pending when the call starts, so dropping every audio frame after the
first call delta cut the speech while its transcript was sent. The
llama.cpp server never drops audio when it reads a result; do the same.
If a model speaks the call markup aloud, that is model behaviour to
observe on real weights, not something to filter here.

* fix(realtime): flush held-back text when a response is cancelled

The parser got is_partial=true on a cancelled response, so text it held
back (a possible start of a tag) never reached the transcript. The llama.cpp
server parses a cancelled response with is_partial=false; do the same. A
cancelled response still makes no tool call. The path where the parser
throws already sends the text as content and needs no change.

* test(realtime): stop the fake S2S stream from sending after Close

The barge-in spec failed now and then with a data race and "send on
closed channel": its script pushes audio from a goroutine, and the
session closes the stream while that goroutine still runs. A push now
does nothing once the stream is closed, and Close waits for a push in
flight. The production close order is right: the writer closes the
stream only after it stops sending.

* fix(realtime): align the S2S tool-call fallback with the backend

Four gaps in how the Go side reads the tool calls of an any-to-any reply:

- With tool_choice none (the response value wins over the session value)
  the backend builds no tool parser, yet the raw-text fallback still
  turned a call the model wrote into a function_call item. Skip it.
- Without a capture regex the fallback never cleaned the transcript, so the
  stored item and transcript.done kept the raw call markup. When the call
  is XML, use the text left after the markup is cut out; a reply that is
  only a call now has an empty transcript.
- A named function as tool_choice mapped to nothing, so the backend kept
  the previous mode. Refuse it with an error in session.update and
  response.create.
- A response-level tools list changed what the fallback looked for, but
  the backend only has the tools of the session. Use those in both.

* fix(e2e): use the real llama-cpp backend in the real realtime run

The suite always registered the mock backend under the name llama-cpp, so
a run with REALTIME_S2S_MODEL set never reached the llama-cpp backend
found in REALTIME_BACKENDS_PATH. Register the mock only when that run is
off.

The real run converts the input audio with ffmpeg. Check for it in the
suite and in run-realtime-lfm3.sh before any download or backend start,
with a message that says what to install, and list it as a prerequisite
in the script header and the Makefile target.

* test(realtime): cover the tools path of a client session.update to the S2S backend

A tool call that never came back from an any-to-any model raised the
question whether the tools of the session reach the backend at all. Add a
spec that sends the session.update of the real-weights e2e (flat
Responses API tool, no session type) and checks that the backend gets
the tool in the chat-completions form.

Log the number of tools sent when the stream opens and when a
session.update carries them, so a run log shows it without reading the
wire. The "No tools received" line of the llama-cpp backend does not
show it: the server prints it for the input transcription request, which
has no tools by design.

* test(e2e): interrupt the chained pipeline reply while it is in flight

With unary stages, the default of the lfm3 pipeline gallery entries, the
chained pipeline synthesizes the whole reply and sends it as one audio
delta right before response.done. The barge-in spec waited for that
delta and then rendered the interruption with the TTS, so the first
response was already done when the speech started and ended completed
instead of cancelled. Real runs on a GPU showed it with both
quantizations.

For a pipeline, start the interruption at response.created, which comes
before the LLM and TTS stages. Render the interruption audio before the
first utterance is sent, so nothing sits between the reply and the
interruption. The any-to-any shape still waits for the first audio
delta, which that backend streams while it generates.

* test(e2e): accept a number word and its homophone in the spoken-answer check

The check that the reply audio says what the transcript says needs a
shared word of 4+ letters. A short answer failed it: the model wrote
"Four" and the ASR heard "for". Compare numbers in one spoken form, so
digits, number words and their homophones match each other. A homophone
only counts when the other text has the number itself, so "for" on both
sides still shares nothing and the check does not pass on a stop word.

* fix(llama-cpp): ask LFM3-Audio for function calls when a realtime session has tools

The default system prompt of a realtime session was "Respond with
interleaved text and audio." whatever the tools. Under that prompt
LFM3-Audio answers in words ("I'll check the weather ...") and never
writes the call. The model card, and the llama.cpp realtime example
client, use "Respond with function calls, and interleaved text and
audio." when the session has tools, and the model then calls the tool.

Pick the default by the tools of the session, and treat the plain default
that the LocalAI server sends back as no choice: it follows the tools too,
also when they arrive with a session.update before the first audio. A
prompt the client wrote is kept as it is.

* fix(realtime): transcribe the input of an any-to-any turn between responses

The input transcript of a speech-to-speech turn ran at the same time as
the reply, on the same model. llama.cpp serves both from one context: the
realtime slot wants embeddings on, the chat slot of the transcript wants
them off, and each flip makes it reserve its compute buffers again. In a
GB10 run that was two reserves of about 175 ms per step, the reply fell to
2.6 tokens per second and the transcript to 380 ms per token, until the
transcript was done.

When pipeline.transcription is the model of the stream, run the transcript
after the response, or before one that is not started yet, and keep
responses out while it runs. A separate transcription model still runs in
parallel.

The previous change moved the same-model transcript after the response.
A client that reads until response.done then never saw
conversation.item.input_audio_transcription.completed: the transcript
was made (the log shows it) but sent after the end of the window.

Run it in line with the commit instead. A VAD turn transcribes and then
responds. A client response.create already waits for the commit slot, so
it starts once the transcript is out. The transcript event now comes
before any output of the response of its turn, for a manual commit and for
a VAD turn, and never overlaps the response on the llama.cpp context. A
transcription model of its own still runs in parallel.

* feat(realtime): transcribe the input of an any-to-any model only when asked

The stream answers from the audio, so the transcript of the input is for
the client only. On the model of the stream it is costly: llama.cpp
serves the transcript request and the realtime stream from one context
and rebuilds its compute buffers on every step while both are active.
On a GB10 that was 26 to 29 reserves of about 175 ms per turn, against 0
to 1 on the llama.cpp server, and the reply ran at a few tokens per
second.

An any-to-any model no longer fills pipeline.transcription with its own
name. Without it the session does not transcribe the input; with another
model it does, in parallel with the reply; with the model itself named it
does, before the reply. The reply transcript always comes from the stream.
The gallery entries set none, so they get the fast path.

The mock configs and run-realtime-lfm3.sh name a transcription model, so
the real-weights spec still covers the input transcript.

* fix(realtime): end a response as cancelled when a barge-in lands during the LLM call

The chained pipeline cancels the response context on a barge-in. When that
happens while the model is generating, the backend call fails with the
context error, and the response ended as failed: an error event and no
response.done. A client that waits for the terminal of the interrupted
response then waits forever. On a GB10 the q4 model answered before the
barge-in arrived, so only the slower q8 model showed it: the spec read
events for 30 s and timed out.

When the context is cancelled, a failed Predict call or a failed result is
a cancel, as the TTS step and the streamed LLM path already treat it. The
response ends with response.done{cancelled} and no error.

* test(e2e): wait for the input transcript that comes from a model of its own

An any-to-any model now gets its input transcript from a separate ASR
that runs next to the reply. The reply is often over first, so a spec that
stops reading at response.done saw no transcript in the VAD shape. Keep
reading, up to 30 s, until the transcript arrives. The contract is that it
comes, not when.

Add a guard spec for what the input transcription is handed: the whole
turn, in a WAV that says the rate it was recorded at (the session rate for
a client commit, 16 kHz for a VAD turn).

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

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

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

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

* feat(config): add the forecast usecase

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat(gallery): add the Timestral forecast models

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

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

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

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto f8b7576dc7 feat(addons): install development add-ons by tag, as backends do (#12883)
A development add-on entry now names a moving tag, sets mutable and has
no digest, the same shape a development backend entry has. A release
entry stays pinned by digest.

One helper, catalog.Pin, turns a mutable entry into a digest at install:
it resolves the tag, checks the digest form and builds the version from
the first 12 hex digits. The backend library installer and the add-on
installer both call it. The add-on installer then verifies the signature
against the resolved digest and records that digest in the receipt. Kind,
platform and install label checks stay in each caller.

The official index lists the development entries as <id>-development,
which the publish workflow already moves in its promote job. The catalog
command renders the development channel as mutable entries. The update
check reports no state for a mutable entry until it resolves the tag too.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto b8f5453cc1 ci(addons): publish every add-on to one repository (#12881)
All add-ons now publish to ADDON_OCI_REPOSITORY as tags of one
repository. Each tag starts with the add-on id: <id>-sha-<short sha> for
a commit, <id>-<version> for a release, <id>-development and
<id>-latest for the channel aliases.

The publish step, the alias promotion and the catalog renderer add the
prefix, so the per-add-on repository step of the workflow is gone. A new
addonpkg target command prints the reference an add-on publishes to
without a network request. The workflow policy now refuses a derived
repository.

The host parser already reads a tag reference and a repository with a
nested path, so both the new form and the old per-repository form
install. A test covers each.

The artifact fields in gallery/addons/index.yaml were changed by hand to
the tag form. The digests are unchanged and stay until the add-ons are
published again.

The variant proposer decodes the library shape (the body under
model:) and splices variants into the model body through a library
layout in galleryedit. The anchor refusal goes: the library has no
anchors. Its tests use library entries.

Both workflows run modelcatalog after the bot and before the pull
request step, and use the Go version from go.mod.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto f1ff707b97 feat(addons): list and install backends from a library (#12816)
* feat(addons): add the add-on runtime, navigation and first-party add-ons

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

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

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

* fix(gosec): tighten file modes and annotate false positives

Write job state, configs and imported models with mode 0600, clean
the paths that are read from disk, and mark the route tables, the
header name and the retry jitter as reviewed false positives.

* fix(addons): keep API keys off recovery mutations and same-site cookies

POST /api/addons/dispatch forwarded the recovery and update
mutations to the owner for any administrator key, which skipped the
browser-session rule of their own routes. Refuse those actions
there. Also apply the same-origin rule to the legacy token cookie,
not only the session cookie, because the global CSRF check lets
same-site requests through.

Do not fail the start of LocalAI when an add-on library cannot be
refreshed; log it and keep the installed add-ons up.

* fix(addons): refuse a reinstall that would migrate retained data unbacked

An upgrade takes a verified backup before the new package migrates
the data. A reinstall over retained data has no running generation
to stop, so the new package would migrate it without one. Refuse a
reinstall whose data format differs from the retained one.

* fix(addons): release the manager lock while a release is fetched

Submit held the state lock across the catalog lookup and the package
download, so the apps list and status reads stalled for the whole
install. Serialize Submit and Reconcile with their own lock and drop
the state lock around the fetch only.

* feat(ui): move settings under the operate hub

The Operate hub already has Settings as a tab, so the sidebar no longer shows a separate Settings entry. The /app/settings route stays, and the hub tab still reaches it. The navigation test now expects Chat, Models and Add-ons as the primary items.

* fix(addons): accept same-host browser requests that carry no fetch metadata

Browsers do not send Sec-Fetch-* headers over plain HTTP on an address
that is not localhost, so every add-on request from a LAN address was
refused as cross-site. Keep refusing a Sec-Fetch-Site value other than
same-origin. When the header is absent, accept the request only if its
Origin, or failing that its Referer, names the same host and port as
the request.

* fix(ui): show the server's reason when an add-on request is refused

A 403 or 400 answer showed a generic message and hid the reason in the
response body, so a refusal by the browser guard could not be told from
a missing permission. Show error.message from the body as the server
sent it, and keep the generic text when the body has none.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Give the built-in tile the same classes as the placeholder box, and
check in a browser that the icon is centred.

Replace the built-in list (now empty) with the Studio and Talk add-on
sections, the new targets of the old links, the Home command, and the
seven packaged add-ons. Describe the SDK additions the pages use:
components, hooks, icons, openApp and portal. Say on the Studio page
that it is installed from the drawer.

* fix(addons): read the loopback port file through os.Root

The persisted port file was read with a path built from the add-on
root, which gosec reports as a file inclusion through a variable. Open
it through os.Root so the name cannot leave the root, even by a
symbolic link, and require a regular file with no group or other
access. A looser file now fails closed instead of being trusted.

Settings entry, and that the Operate hub opens Settings as a tab.

* test(ui): drive the media history and TTS specs through the Studio add-on

the specs run against the page that exists.

* test(ui): fail the node refresh by state, not by call count

shows it, then fail the refreshes.

A server without authentication has no accounts, so named-user left

environment value still wins, and an unknown value is still refused.

* feat(addons): register an official add-on library by default

Add gallery/addons/index.yaml, a YAML index of the four first-party
add-ons (fine-tuning, quantization, voice, face) in the library format.
The entries come from addonpkg catalog over locally built linux/amd64
packages, so the digests pin those images.

On the first start, when the owner has no sources.json, register the
raw GitHub URL of that index on master as the "official" library and
write the file. The file is then the record: a library the admin
removes stays removed, and an existing file is never changed.
--addons-official-library=false skips the default.

* feat(addons): add a real icon to each first-party add-on

Each icon is a 256 by 256 PNG: a rounded square in one colour of the

speech, and the drawer listed two of them. It now has one page, "voice",
and one drawer entry. Recognition, Library, Text to speech and From a
recording are tabs of that page, drawn with the same tab strip the
recognition page already used. The tab is the first path segment
(voice/library), as in the Studio add-on, and the form that adds a voice
is a view of the Library tab (voice/library/new).

The old page names stay declared in the manifest. Each one redirects to
its tab and keeps the query string, so saved links still open.

* feat(ui): send the old voice routes to the Voice tabs

/app/voice, /app/voice-library and /app/voice-library/new now open the
matching tab of the Voice add-on page while the add-on is installed and
running, and the core pages otherwise. The moved-page helper compares
the first segment of the target with the declared pages, so a target

* test(ui): build the add-on bundles once for the whole run

Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist
directory, and the build empties that directory first. A worker that
started, or restarted after a failure, removed the files another worker

not be loaded". Build once in a global setup before the workers start.

* test(ui): register the worker when the add-node spec says so

The mocked roster added the worker on the third read of /api/nodes. The

The spec asserts that the page shows no alert. The Home page raises its
own alert when the model list fails or a staging operation has failed,

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

With the CPU throttled to 8x, the spec failed on 20 of 20 runs, and the

the next assertion had the default five seconds. The load takes about
two seconds on an idle run and seven to ten under CPU load, so the spec
failed on a loaded machine with the hand-off note not yet drawn.

With the CPU throttled to 6x and eight busy loops running, it failed on

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

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

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

The rules for narrow screens (single-column pairs, smaller tool padding,

The pins come from GET /api/addons/pins through the navigation context, and the apps from the add-on registry, which the drawer feeds on every list read, so the links follow the drawer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat(backends): report the steps of a library install as a job

A backend install from a library ran inside the request and showed
nothing until it ended. It is now a job of the gallery service, the
kind the backend gallery installs use. The request answers with the job
ID and GET /backends/jobs/{id} reports the step as the phase of the job:
resolving, verifying, size, fetching and writing, with the byte progress
of the fetch. A job that fails keeps the phase of the step that failed
and gives the reason. A second install of the same name is refused while
one runs.

The downloader and the gallery install report their stages through an
optional hook, so the steps are the real ones and not a guess. The
Browse tab lists the steps of the entry being installed, marks the one
that failed, and omits the signature step for a library that does not
require one.

The library installer also gets Updates and a route that lists the
installed library backends with a newer build in their library, for the
next change.

reinstall is not offered for a library backend, because the gallery does
not list it.

When the cached index of the library lists another build in the channel
of the installed version, the row says "Update available" and offers an
Update button. The button starts the same install as the Browse tab, and
the detail shows its steps. Nothing is upgraded on its own. The check
says nothing when the library no longer lists the installed version and
has several channels, instead of guessing one.

* feat(gallery): add the model library entry shape and its reader

A model library entry is the shared library envelope (kind, id, name,
version, description, license, urls, tags, icon, channel, policy,
schemaVersion) plus a model body: url, backend, size, files,
configFile, overrides, variants and promptTemplates. The envelope lives
in the catalog package so the other kinds can move to it.

A gallery entry converts to a library entry and back to the same
gallery entry. Floats are written so they read back as floats, and an
empty variants list stays distinct from an absent one, because both
occur in the real index.

The reader is strict: unknown fields, duplicate ids, a second document
and a flow-style list are refused. An entry of another kind is skipped
and reported, as in the add-on reader. The gallery index stays the
default and is not changed.

* feat(gallery): render the model library from the model gallery

scripts/models/cmd/modelcatalog reads gallery/index.yaml with the same
structs the host reads it with, converts every entry to a library entry
and back, and fails if any entry does not come back equal. It writes
gallery/models/index.yaml and the golden files for the tests. The
output is deterministic, and the gallery is only read.

The golden files are a digest pair for every entry (the gallery entry
and the library entry made from it) and a readable gallery and library
pair for each kind of entry: plain, with variants, with an empty
variants list, with a config file, with a size, with a backend, with
floats in the overrides, without a url, without files and with a
multiline description.

All 2212 entries of the index round trip. The gallery struct does not
read a few keys (last_checked, parameters and four stray capitalised
keys); the host drops them when it loads the index, so the library does
not carry them, and the command reports them.

* feat(gallery): add --model-index-source to read the model library

--model-index-source selects the file the host reads the models of the
official gallery from: gallery (the default) or library. With library
the gallery named localai reads the model library, from
--model-library-url or the file in the repository, and keeps its
configured name and URL on every entry. A gallery the owner added keeps
its own index, and add-on and backend galleries never take this path. A
library that cannot be fetched or read is an error and not a fall back
to the gallery, so the setting is never silent.

The tests round trip every entry of the real gallery index, compare it
with the golden files, check the rendered library file reads and agrees
with itself, and cover the strict reader, the kinds it skips, prompt
templates, number types, empty lists and the setting.

* feat(cli): add local-ai library to manage library sources

local-ai library has list, add, remove, enable and disable. It works on
the source store the server reads (addons/sources.json under the data
path), so it also works with the server stopped. A source has a kind
(addon, backend or model); the store records whether it is a shipped
default, and removing a default leaves a tombstone so it does not come
back at the next start.

The shipped model and backend gallery indexes are default sources next
to the official add-on library. Defaults are added at every start when
they have no record yet, and an existing file that holds no default is
left alone as before.

The --model-index-source and --model-library-url flags are removed: a
model library is added as a model source, and the gallery entry says it
is a library.

ignored for that entry. When two sources the user added list it, search
and resolve are refused with an error that names the entry and both
sources, and nothing is picked silently. Among shipped defaults nothing
changes.

The tests cover a user source over a default, a tie between two user
sources, a default ignored once a user source wins, and the case where
disabling a source ends the conflict.

* feat(cli): map the gallery flags to library sources at startup

--galleries and --backend-galleries keep loading the same JSON. At
startup each entry they name also becomes a source the user owns, of
kind model or backend, so local-ai library list shows it. The mapping is
additive: an entry whose kind and URL is already a source (a shipped
default, one added with the CLI, or one mapped at an earlier start) is
not added twice, and a derived id never collides with another source.

The sources then decide which galleries the server reads: a gallery
whose source is disabled or removed is left out, and a model library or
gallery added with local-ai library add is added. A list set by the flags
still replaces the shipped defaults. If the store cannot be opened, the
galleries stay as the flags set them. The autoload switches are not
touched.

* refactor(library): use id for every kind and seed the default libraries

The backend entries of the library used addonId while the model
entries use id. Release now has the field ID, written as id for every
kind. ReadIndex reads addonId as a legacy alias for one release, for
add-ons and backends, and refuses an entry that holds both names. The
backend index and the catalog generator write id.

The shipped libraries are default sources. The pilot backend library is
now on by default, like the official add-on library, and the model
library is a new default model source, official-models. The server
reads it next to the localai gallery. A source the user removed stays
removed, and a source the user adds is added to the defaults.

The model catalog header held a backtick that ended its raw string, so
the generator did not build. The header no longer has it.

* feat(library): choose the default model source by build

A build read both the localai gallery and the official-models library
by default, so every model was listed twice. Now a build reads one of
them. library.ModelSource names it: "library" or "gallery". The model
source that is not chosen is still shipped, as a disabled default, and
local-ai library enable turns it on.

The value is a Go variable set at link time with -ldflags, because the
same source tree makes both kinds of build and a constant would need a
commit to change. It is "library" in the source, so a build from
master, go build and go test read the library. Only the exact value
"gallery" selects the gallery, so a mistyped value cannot leave a build
without a model source.

The Makefile sets it from LOCALAI_MODEL_SOURCE. When that is not set, a
commit that carries a tag gets "gallery" and any other commit gets
"library". .goreleaser.yaml passes the same variable and defaults to
"gallery". The release workflow sets it to "library" on a tag, which is
the cutover.

A default source is seeded once, so a data directory that an earlier
build seeded keeps its enabled flags. Switch it with local-ai library
enable and disable.

Tests assert the master default, the tagged default before the cutover
and after it, and that a mistyped value reads the library. The model
library header now says that CI checks it and when a build reads it.

* ci(library): check the model library and cut over on tag

No workflow checked gallery/models/index.yaml, so it could go stale
when gallery/index.yaml changed. A new workflow, model-library.yml, runs
on pull requests and on master when the gallery, the library, the
generator or core/gallery change. It runs the generator tests and the
library shape tests (the file decodes, it has the library shape, every
real entry round trips), then renders the library again from
gallery/index.yaml and fails on any difference with git diff
--exit-code. The error message gives the command that fixes it.

release.yaml gets the cutover. On a tag, a step sets
LOCALAI_MODEL_SOURCE=library before GoReleaser runs, and
.goreleaser.yaml links it into the binary. Without that step a tagged
build reads the gallery. The step is the one place to remove when the
gallery is retired.

* feat(library): make the model library the source of the gallery

The library, gallery/models/index.yaml, was rendered from the gallery.
Now it is the source and models are edited there. modelcatalog reads
the library and writes gallery/index.yaml, a generated copy that stays
only so releases before the cutover keep working.

The gallery file is written in the shape the host reads: the same
field order, floats such as 1.0 keep their form, and an empty variants
list stays apart from an absent one. The command converts every
library entry to a gallery entry and back, loads its own output the way
the host does, and fails when an entry comes back different.

The gallery copy drops what the library cannot carry: last_checked,
parameters and four capitalised keys (Base Model, Context Length,
License, Training Data). The gallery struct has no field for any of
them, so the host ignored them on load. Every run lists these keys and
how often the file being replaced still had each. Loading the old and
the new gallery with the host structs gives equal entries for all
2212 models.

The tests that read the library and the golden files follow in the
next commit.

* ci(library): check the library and that the gallery is its copy

The model-library workflow assumed the gallery was the source. It now
checks the library file, the new source. The library decodes, every
entry has the library shape, every entry converts to a gallery entry
and back, and the gallery reader loads the generated gallery and sees
the same names, file uris and digests. The workflow then generates
gallery/index.yaml again and fails on any diff with git diff
--exit-code. The message says the file is generated, not to edit it by
hand, and gives the command that regenerates it.

The tests in core/gallery read the library file now. The round trip
runs library to gallery and back on all 2212 real entries, a new test
compares the checked-in gallery with the generated copy so go test finds
a hand edit too, and the golden digests and samples are written from
the library. The version of an entry is no longer compared with a digest
of its content, since an edit to the library does not change it.

The docs say the library is the source, the gallery file is a generated
copy for releases before the cutover, and edits go to the library. The
agent guide for adding models says the same.

* feat(library): add admin routes for library sources and an official libraries switch

The library sources of the add-on, backend and model kinds had a CLI
but no HTTP routes. Add them for administrators, on the same store and
the same functions as `local-ai library`, so the two cannot drift:

  GET    /api/library/sources
  POST   /api/library/sources
  POST   /api/library/sources/{id}/enable
  POST   /api/library/sources/{id}/disable
  DELETE /api/library/sources/{id}

The list carries kind, default, removed (a tombstone), suspended and the
conflict message of a source that clashes with another one. A change to
a model or backend source applies to the running server. A deleted
source drops its gallery by address; a removed default keeps its record.

Add the runtime setting official_libraries (default on), with the flag
--official-libraries. When it is off, every shipped default source of
the three kinds is suspended: it is not read, stays in the store marked
default, and comes back when the setting is on again. Sources the user
added are not affected.

* feat(ui): list library sources of all three kinds in the Libraries tab

The Libraries tab of the Add-ons page now lists the sources of the
add-on, backend and model kinds from the new library routes. It has a
kind filter with counts, a Default badge, the state of each source
(enabled, disabled, removed, or off while the official libraries are
off), turn on and off, a Restore button for a removed default, and the
conflict message next to a source that clashes. Adding a source takes a
kind and, for backends and models, an index format.

Settings gets the toggle "Use official libraries" for the
official_libraries setting.

Add unit tests for the list and the kind filter, and a Playwright spec
that runs on a fresh test server started with --library-sources (its own
config, port 8097): it lists the three kinds, adds a model source,
disables and removes a default, checks the conflict message and the
official libraries toggle.

* feat(library): extend the backend body to carry what the gallery carries

The backend library entry only held an image and its digest. The backend
gallery holds more that matters at install and in the UI, so the library
could not replace it. Add the missing fields to the backend kind and keep
the strict reader.

New fields, all refused on an add-on entry:

- mirrors: ordered fallback images of the same backend, each oci://.
  The install pins them with the digest of the artifact.
- capabilities: a map from a host capability to a backend id. An entry
  with capabilities and no artifact is a meta backend. It has no digest,
  os or arch, is listed for every platform, and installing it installs the
  backend its capability names, in the same library and channel.
- license, urls, tags: display metadata, bounded and checked as text.
- icon: an https URL. The add-on ui.icon stays a path in the package. The
  host never fetches the icon.
- mutable: the artifact is a moving tag, such as a development image. The
  entry has no digest. The install resolves the tag to a digest, verifies
  that image and records the digest it installed.
- schemaVersion: the envelope version. A higher one is refused.

The index bounds grow to 8 MiB and 4000 entries, because the backend
library lists every image for every platform. Release now holds lists, so
the add-on staging compares it with Equal instead of ==.

* feat(library): render the backend library from the whole backend gallery

Add the conversion between a gallery backend and its library entries in
core/gallery, and make scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog build the
library from the gallery and the gallery from the library.

The library now holds all 1093 gallery entries as 1088 backends, because
five names appear twice in the gallery with the same content and are
folded. That is 934 concrete backends and 154 meta backends, written as
1240 entries: a backend built for several platforms has one entry for
each, with the digest of that platform image.

- 539 release entries are pinned by the digest the registry serves for the
  platform.
- 543 development entries (master-* tags) keep their tag and are mutable.
  The install pins them.
- 4 release entries are not pinned, because the registry has no image for
  them: cpu-qdrant-store, metal-qdrant-store, cpu-gemxcpp and
  vulkan-gemxcpp. They are marked mutable and no digest is invented.
  Render them again with --repin once the images exist.

The generator can import a gallery once, pin the release images again, and
write the gallery file from the library without the network. Before it
writes it converts every backend to the library and back and fails if one
does not come back equal. A policy is no longer written on each entry,
because the host takes the policy of the library source.

* test(library): check that every backend gallery entry round trips

Prove that the backend library can replace the backend gallery. The golden
input is the real backend gallery from before the library became the
source: 1093 entries, kept under core/gallery/testdata/backend_library
with the pins the library holds and the digest of each generated entry.

TestBackendLibraryRoundTripsEveryRealGalleryEntry converts each entry to
library entries, writes them as an index, reads them as a host does,
validates them and converts them back. It asserts that all 1093 entries
come back equal on every field the gallery reader uses, and logs the
count. The five names that appear twice in the gallery have the same
content, so the twin is checked against the first one and folded.

The other tests check the library file in the repository: every entry
passes the host checks, every backend round trips, every meta backend
names concrete backends the library has, a development entry keeps its
master-* tag and has no digest, and the golden digests still match. Unit
tests cover each field, the fields the library cannot carry, which are
refused rather than dropped, and entries of one backend that disagree.

An entry with no artifact, digest, os or arch no longer writes them as
empty strings, so a meta backend and a mutable entry stay short.

* feat(library): make the backend library the source of the backend gallery

Flip the source the way the model library did. The backend library,
gallery/backends/index.yaml, is where backends are edited. The backend
gallery, backend/index.yaml, is now generated from it by
scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog and stays only so releases before the
cutover keep working. It no longer has anchors or hand-written order, and
it holds 1088 backends: the five names that were listed twice with the same
content are folded.

Which source a build reads is set at build time, like the model source:

- core/library.BackendSource is "library" or "gallery". Only the exact value
  "gallery" selects the gallery, so a mistyped value cannot leave a build
  with no backend source.
- A build from master reads the library. The Makefile reads the gallery for
  a commit that carries a tag (LOCALAI_BACKEND_SOURCE), and GoReleaser
  defaults to the gallery.
- A step in release.yaml sets LOCALAI_BACKEND_SOURCE=library, so a tagged
  build cuts over by itself.
- Both sources are shipped and one is enabled. With
  --addons-backend-library=false every build reads the gallery.

The server hands the shipped backend library to the gallery reader as a
library, so the Backends page lists it and installs from it the way it did
from the gallery. A backend library the user adds stays with the add-on
catalog. The shipped library is now a backend source, not an add-on one.

The new workflow backend-library.yml runs the tests, regenerates
backend/index.yaml and fails on a diff. It never reads the registry.
backendcatalog --add merges backends written in the gallery shape into the
library, so adding a backend does not mean writing platform entries by
hand; the agent guide says so.

* docs(library): describe the backend library as the source of the backends

Rewrite the backends and add-ons pages for the backend library. The library
file is the source of truth and the backend gallery is a generated copy that
is never edited by hand.

- backends.md: the library and the generated gallery, which source a build
  reads (master, tagged before the cutover, tagged after it), the
  --addons-backend-library switch, how to add a backend and generate the
  gallery, and what CI checks.
- addons.md: the full backend entry with the new fields (mirrors,
  capabilities, license, urls, tags, icon URL, mutable, schemaVersion),
  meta backends, development images pinned at install, and the backend
  library section in place of the pilot one.

* feat(library): mirrors on library sources, editable through the API

github:, oci:// and file://, at most eight per source.

Libraries tab lists add-on sources only.

The generators wrote generated files and sample folders with 0644 and

0600 and 0750. The library path read in mergeLibrary is the operator's
own argument, so that read is annotated.

admin gating by account role, the add-on UI bundle builder and the SDK

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

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

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

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

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

start. The owner stores its address in its identity file and refuses to
start when the address differs, so every start after the first failed
with "invalid addon owner configuration".

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist

not be loaded". Build once in a global setup before the workers start.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

in the style of the MCP dropdown. It lists each running add-on that ships
tools with a switch, and a badge shows how many are on.

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

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

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

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

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

* feat(ui): add the Upgrade add-ons automatically toggle to Settings

The toggle sits beside Upgrade backends automatically and is off by
default. It saves the auto_upgrade_addons runtime setting. The English
locale gets the label key, and the Settings test fixture lists the new
field.

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

* test(addons): cover the automatic upgrade setting and document it

The setting defaults to off in the config, the runtime settings and the
flag, and is read back from the saved settings file. With it on, a real
owner upgrades an installed add-on through the manager; with it off,
nothing changes, and a change of the setting at run time takes effect on
the next pass. The manager specs show the upgrade goes through the same
pinned path as the manual one, and that a corrupted package, a failed
signature policy, an incompatible release, a missing update checker and
a caller who is not an administrator each leave the installed version in
place. The new specs are added to the lifecycle case inventory.

The add-ons page describes the setting, its schedule and its default.

* refactor(addons): name the library entry identifier id

The library entry of an add-on used addonId while the shared envelope
and the model entries use id. Release now has the field ID, written as
id, and every writer emits it: the index encoder, the package workflow
templates, the catalog generator and gallery/addons/index.yaml. The
digests in the index did not change.

DecodeIndex still reads addonId as a legacy alias for one release, so
an existing library and a library served by an older tool keep
working. An entry that holds both names is refused. The Apps UI reads
id and falls back to addonId.

* test(addons): use the id field in the auto-upgrade test release

named the release field AddonID, so the application tests did not
build.

* fix(systemone): preserve HTTP wire-byte validation limit

Keep structural validation separate from the serialized internal request bound so HTML escaping cannot reject valid HTTP payloads.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:gpt-5

* feat(systemone): bound images and account native decisions

Preserve public wire limits independently from router serialization. Reject unsupported NER images, map native request/capability errors, and stamp explicit usage once. Advertise decisions for stock llama-cpp.

Assisted-by: OpenAI

* fix(systemone): record usage on registered native route

Exercise real registration and billing with a mock native backend. Reject empty native responses, malformed image URLs, trailing JSON, and wire overflow including whitespace.

* feat(router): classify overlapping policies with native decisions

Ask independent noul questions, validate probabilities and preserve first-superset routing. Wire the central factory with config-sensitive invalidation and cancellation-safe resolution. Document native framing and bounded operation limits.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:gpt-5

* feat(gallery): add pinned Julia-1 native decision model

Add a separate text-only llama-cpp Q8 entry with pinned Apache-2.0 source provenance and checksum. Installed using the gallery installer and exercised choice, score and noul on CPU.

Assisted-by: OpenAI

* test(router): verify native decisions through central factory

Add an opt-in real-model Ginkgo integration covering the native Go loader and C++ transport, token usage, independent overlapping labels, and candidate selection. Document owned-server execution and the intentionally non-quality threshold.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* fix(llama-cpp): align upstream pin and preserve decision signatures

Advance to bed0a856 without losing the automated upstream bump. Detect full-request fill_task support at compile time and forward every question for Nimble framing while retaining the earlier native signature. Preserve reconciled SCORE/TTS patches; add standalone compatibility coverage.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* feat(gallery): add native decision family defaults

Assisted-by: OpenAI:API-assistant

* fix(systemone): bound admission lifetimes and validate complete images

Retain shared admission leases through actual work completion, including abandoned internal operations. Decode bounded image pixels, cap public native responses before usage stamping, and preserve oversized malformed text status precedence.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:API-assistant

* fix(router): classify images before media fetching

Preserve ordered structured probes for native decisions. Defer OpenAI
media preparation until routing selects the served model, so rejected
decision URLs cannot trigger downloads before shared validation.

Guard direct image collection with context-aware shared admission.
Keep text classifiers and embedding caches from discarding image input.
Retain fail-closed classifier configuration and runtime fallback policy.

Add middleware, typed-content, admission, cancellation and cache tests.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:API-assistant

* fix(router): bound extraction before serialization

Check probe budgets before copying text or marshaling message state.
Count JSON escaping so oversized internal inputs fail before allocation.

Preserve typed Anthropic blocks through selected-model conversion and
fallback. Keep retry coverage in Ginkgo without global test registration.

Assisted-by: OpenAI

* fix(router): bound supported probe serialization

Arbitrary structs can bypass the probe budget through pointer marshalers,
string tags, and promoted fields. Accept concrete chat schema types and
plain JSON values instead of emulating arbitrary struct serialization.

Budget escaped direct prompts before marshaling so raw length cannot hide
serialized expansion. Preserve runtime fallback and reject oversized
input before invoking the decision runner.

Add Ginkgo allocation, boundary, and marshaler invocation regressions.
Six-package tests, three-package race tests, and full-T2 delta lint pass.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:GPT-5 golangci-lint

* feat(decisions): enable bounded OpenJev images

Validate native decision images before permissive media parsing and pixel
allocation. Require both decision image support and a vision projector;
missing or audio-only projectors cannot silently become text decisions.

Pin the OpenJev Q8 projector and document its license and disk footprint.
Add native safety tests, canonical limit parity, gallery and load-option
checks, and a reproducible CPU direct-RPC contrasting-image smoke.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:GPT-5

* fix(decisions): reject incomplete image streams

stb accepts corrupt PNG Adler checksums and truncated JPEG scans.
Use bounded zlib validation and strict libjpeg decoding before parsing.
Keep dimension and aggregate pixel checks ahead of decoder allocations.

Wire decoder dependencies into native builds and runtime packaging.
Add regressions for appended EOI and embedded marker bypasses.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:GPT-5

* fix(ci): gate native decision image validation

Run the decoder security tests outside the stdlib-only native suite.
Fetch vendor headers at the backend pin and provision decoder dependencies.
Gate Go limit parity and production CMake wiring without model downloads.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:GPT-5

* test(decisions): cover multimodal public API paths

Exercise shared image contracts through the registered HTTP routes and
external mock backend. Add opt-in cached gallery installation and real
OpenJev image decisions through SystemOne and both routing APIs.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* test(decisions): assert isolation and cache bypass

Observe external RPC calls and compare complete classifier history.
Winner-only and cache-miss checks could hide dropped history or cache use.

Give real inference its own application and model directory so shared
backend mappings and loaded processes cannot affect mixed suite order.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:ChatGPT

* test(decisions): isolate fixture globals

Disable optional global services in the isolated HTTP fixture and register
cleanup before setup assertions. Verify meter provider identity survives
fixture creation and destruction.

Snapshot observed usage before assertions so failures cannot retain the
mutex. Require a successful usage stamp before checking error responses.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5 golangci-lint

* fix(application): honor optional telemetry controls

Skip failover gauge registration when metrics are disabled. Register
against the application meter rather than looking up the global provider.

Allow embedders to retain the bounded routing log without billing stats.
Keep the existing default when stats are disabled. The isolated HTTP
fixture uses this option without losing its native router assertions.

b1ce35bf87 fix(ci): sign backends in the format we verify (#12166)
* fix(ci): sign backends in the format we verify

Published backend images carry legacy simplesigning signatures: config
application/vnd.dev.cosign.artifact.sig.v1+json, layer
application/vnd.dev.cosign.simplesigning.v1+json, attached as referrers with
no artifactType. pkg/oci/cosignverify accepts only new-format Sigstore
bundles and refuses the legacy format on purpose, so LOCALAI_REQUIRE_BACKEND_INTEGRITY
and any gallery verification: block reject our own backends.

The cause is one missing flag. backend-signing.md has prescribed
`--new-bundle-format` all along; backend_merge.yml never passed it, and the
comment beside the cosign pin claims v2.4.1 emits the current bundle format
by default, which it does not. The flag arrives in v2.5.0, so the pin moves
to v2.6.5 and both sign calls pass it.

Verified against a published image today
(quay.io/go-skynet/local-ai-backends:latest-gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-llama-cpp):
both referrers are simplesigning, so nothing verifies.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 7a234473e8 fix(ci): unbreak the e2e build and the darwin vllm-metal pin (#11849)
Two independent breakages on master make every open pull request red,
for reasons unrelated to the changes under review.

The e2e backend suite stopped compiling. Reply.message is `bytes` in
backend.proto, so res.GetMessage() returns []byte, and strings.ToUpper
wants a string. Every other call site in the file already converts.
tests/e2e-backends sits behind a build tag, so `go build ./...` never
compiled it and the breakage reached master unnoticed.

The darwin vllm build stopped resolving. Upstream vllm-metal deleted
its old dev tags and re-versioned to track the vLLM release it targets,
so the pinned wheel 404s. The coupled vLLM release also moved out of
upstream's install.sh into .github/vllm-release-tag.commit, and the
wheel's platform tag moved from macosx_11_0 to macosx_15_0.

Read the wheel name from the release's own asset listing rather than
composing it from a hardcoded platform segment, so a platform-tag
change cannot silently 404 again, and resolve the vLLM version from
the new metadata file with a fallback to the legacy installer. The
bump script and the extractor learn the same two-source lookup, so the
next nightly run converges on the pin checked in here instead of
reintroducing the break.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto b4e16b963f fix(ci): stop the e2e teardown from failing a green suite (#11816)
* fix(ci): remove the e2e container before removing its image

`docker stop` returns as soon as the container exits, but the daemon
reaps a `--rm` container asynchronously after that. The `docker rmi
localai-tests` that follows teardown-e2e then loses the race against the
reaper and fails with "conflict: ... is using its referenced image", so
make exits 1 and the job goes red after every spec has passed.

This is why the E2E Backend Tests job fails at random across pull
requests. Runs 33435319093, 33435332991, 33412165884 and 33444669207 all
report "SUCCESS! -- 235 Passed | 0 Failed" and then die in teardown.

`docker rm -f` is synchronous, so the image reference is gone before
teardown-e2e returns. It also covers the case where no container is
running, which `docker stop` could not because it rejects an empty
argument list.

* fix(ci): open a tmate session only when a PR asks for one

The tmate step runs on every failure and then holds the runner until
GitHub cancels the job at the 6 hour limit. A one second cleanup race in
the e2e teardown therefore costs a whole ubuntu-latest slot. The recent
run list is full of 6h, 7h and 12h cancelled runs for that reason.

The step now needs the `ci-debug` label on the pull request, so a
session opens when somebody wants to debug and never otherwise. The
30 minute step timeout caps the cost when the label is left behind.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 572a127682 feat(stablediffusion-ggml): build a ROCm variant (#11774)
The Makefile already had a hipblas branch, but no CI row built it and
the gallery's `amd:` mapping stayed commented out. On an AMD host the
capability lookup found no `amd` key and fell back to `default`, so
these users silently ran the CPU build.

Add the hipblas row to the backend matrix and the two gallery entries
it publishes, then point `amd:` at them.

Drop `-DGGML_HIPBLAS=ON` while here. `SD_HIPBLAS` sets `GGML_HIP`
itself, and `GGML_HIPBLAS` is the name ggml used before the rename, so
the flag only produced an unused-variable warning. Add gfx1151 to the
local target list to match the value the workflows pass in.

* 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.
The isolation itself is untouched.

* ci: keep hidden files in the offline test bundle artifact

Cherry-picked from 15a37b0ac on the remote branch. The offline bundle lives
under .cache/, which actions/upload-artifact skips by default, so the Linux
job packed an artifact missing the very file the next step restores.

The other half of 15a37b0ac moved test-network-lint out of the `test` and
`test-coverage` prerequisite lists into a recipe line, so parallel make could
not fingerprint the tree while generated fixtures were still changing. That
is dropped: the preceding commit removes the lint entirely, and the race it
worked around is one more reason a whole-tree fingerprint was the wrong
mechanism.

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.

An intermittent post-merge validation failure surfaced as an opaque 400

pooling fields at the failure point so the next occurrence identifies
whether the request or the stored config carried the bad value.

* fix(embeddings): scheme override must not inherit the config's half-life

A model config defaulting to decayed_mean pooling carries
pooling_half_life_tokens; a request overriding the scheme to mean/last
without its own half-life inherited that value, and post-merge
validation rejected the pair the server itself had assembled. Zero the
inherited half-life when the overridden scheme is not decayed_mean; a
request that explicitly pairs a half-life with a non-decayed scheme
still 400s.

The 2025.3.0 base image ships an older libsycl/UR loader pair and fails while importing torch with an undefined urDeviceWaitExp symbol. Use the current repository-wide 2025.3.2 Intel basekit patch level, which carries the compatible loader.

* fix(vllm): pin Intel source build to release

Build the Intel XPU backend from vLLM 0.26.0 instead of the moving main branch, and use the Triton XPU version required by that release's torch 2.12 dependency.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 5ff25d9d14 fix(ci): remove unsupported cosign bundle flag (#11413)
Cosign v2.4.1 emits the current Sigstore bundle format by default and rejects --new-bundle-format. Keep recursive OCI 1.1 referrer signing, and update the producer contract test to reject the unsupported option.
