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.

* 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

* 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

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.

The real run converts the input audio with ffmpeg. Check for it in the

* 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

* 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.

* feat(addons): generate and load a static carrier key set

A split deployment needs the owner and the frontends to share
certificates and a signing key that outlive a process. The loopback
carrier makes fresh keys at every start, so it cannot serve that.

GenerateCarrierKeys writes a CA certificate, an owner leaf and a
frontend leaf, and the frontend signing key pair. It drops the CA key,
so nobody can issue a third leaf, and it refuses to overwrite any file.
LoadCarrierConfig reads only the files of one role and refuses key
files that group or other users can access.

The owner never forwards, but NewCarrier still requires a signing key,
so the owner config gets a throwaway key in memory instead of the

volume fight over the owner lock.

--addons-role selects combined (today's behaviour, the default), owner
or frontend. The owner and frontend roles also take --addons-owner-address
and --addons-carrier-dir, and the owner takes --addons-owner-listen. They
use the fixed carrier identities and the key set from the carrier key
directory. The frontend role has no add-on root, so it never creates the

sources file of the data path, which is the owner's file. The frontend
role now skips the library option and reads only the galleries named by
the flags, and logs a warning when it has no account database, because
its pins are then kept per frontend.

The add-on manager rejects a relative root even for a forwarding
frontend, so the frontend config names the absolute path where an owner
would keep its state. Nothing creates or opens it, and a spec checks

It covers a frontend that lists apps and reads add-on status through the
owner, two frontends on one key set, a frontend that starts while the

One function, Application.AddonsFeature, decides whether the add-on

enabled and the owner manager exists. A frontend answers true when the
owner answered the carrier's audience call within 2 s, and keeps that
answer for 10 s so /api/features does not dial the owner per request.

/api/features reports the result as "addons", and fine_tuning and
quantization take the same value, because both are add-ons. The
frontend cache is per-instance state.

prefix answers the typed unavailable response of an absent owner, for
any path under it, so a client cannot tell which routes exist. The
response is the one the gateway already writes (gateway.WriteUnavailable
over typedError), not a second format.

With add-ons on, the same routes sit behind RequireAddonsFeature, which
reads Application.AddonsFeature, so a frontend that cannot reach the
owner gives the same answer. The per-user feature middleware still runs

no owner address or key directory. The fine-tuning and quantization

* fix(addons): give a frontend no add-on state root

OwnerConfig.validate required an absolute root for every role, so a

the instance is the owner, and the frontend role leaves Root empty.
Nothing on a frontend reads or creates it.

NewCarrier required an Ed25519 signing key of every instance, so the

NewCarrier accepts an empty key when the instance is the owner and
still requires a whole key from a frontend, and a malformed key is
refused for both. LoadCarrierConfig no longer generates one. The owner
still verifies frontend signatures with frontend-sign.pub.

* fix(addons): refuse library-source routes on a frontend

A frontend must keep no owner state, but the library-source routes, the
ApplyLibraries call and the startup official-libraries step still opened
and wrote addons/sources.json in its data path.

Mark the frontend role in the add-on config, also when add-ons are off.
On a frontend, LibrarySources returns the unavailable error,
ApplyLibraries does nothing and the startup step skips the store. The
six /api/library/sources routes answer 503 with the body that the add-on
feature gate writes, and an X-LocalAI-Reason header names the cause.
Reads are refused too: the carrier has no verb for them. Owner and

library-source refusal put its reason in an X-LocalAI-Reason header.

Write the LocalAI error envelope instead, with a message, a type and the
code "unavailable", and keep the 503 status. The message names the
cause: add-ons are off on this instance, the add-on owner is not
reachable, or library sources are managed on the owner. Remove the

* feat(addons): serve library calls on the add-on owner

Add the carrier verbs a frontend needs to work on the library through
the owner: library-list, library-add, library-update, library-enable,
library-disable, library-remove, library-backend-resolve and
library-backend-releases. A call carries the operation in one
LibraryCall field of the wire request, so an old owner rejects it as an
invalid binding. Every verb but the three reads is a mutation, and the
reply is an envelope of data or a typed error, so a frontend gives the
status the owner's own routes give.

The owner serves them through gateway.LibraryAdmin, implemented in the
application on the same LocalAdmin as the owner's HTTP routes. It runs
the owner's administrator check before any store call.

Add two peer-authenticated reads that take no actor and leave the
audience reply unchanged: GET /addons/capabilities (protocol, calls and
the owner's OS and architecture) and GET /addons/library/snapshot (the
gallery-relevant source list and its version).

Split the backend install: Installer.Resolve is the owner's half
(resolve, pick the meta backend for the asker's capability, pin by
digest) and returns a Plan; the node that installs runs the collision
check and the gallery install itself. Move the source administration
behind library.Admin and add library.ReconcileInfos for a source list
read from the owner.

* feat(addons): forward library routes from a frontend to the owner

A frontend refused the library-source routes and did not serve the
backend library routes. Forward them instead, and keep the owner the
only writer of the sources.

The library-source routes work on library.Admin: the local store on a
combined or owner process, the carrier on a frontend. The frontend
checks the calling account (a legacy API key is refused with 401), and
the owner checks the administrator right again before any store call.
With add-ons off, a frontend answers these routes with a 503.

A frontend asks the owner for its source list every 60 seconds through
the peer-authenticated snapshot call and rebuilds its model and backend
gallery lists, and the official-libraries switch, only when the version
changed. If the owner does not answer, it keeps the last lists and marks
them stale. Changing official_libraries on a frontend is refused with
409.

The backend library install is split. The owner resolves the entry and
pins the image; the frontend runs the gallery install on its own node,
with its own size limit and strict mode. A frontend refuses library
calls to an owner that does not serve them, or that runs on another OS
or architecture.

* docs(addons): document library operations on a frontend

Replace the frontend limits that said a frontend refuses the library
routes with what happens now: the library sources and the backend
library go through the owner, the gallery lists follow the owner every
60 seconds, official_libraries is set on the owner, and the owner and
the frontends must run on one OS and architecture.

Add specs for the split owner: a frontend lists sources through the
owner, a source added on a frontend reaches the owner and then the other
frontend after a refresh, a write with the owner down answers 503 with
the error envelope, official_libraries answers 409 on a frontend and a
change on the owner reaches the frontend's gallery lists, the lists are
kept and marked stale while the owner is down, a platform mismatch and a
legacy API key are refused, and a frontend installs a backend into its
own path from the owner's plan.

* feat(addons): check the shared models path with a probe

Exports write into the models path of the owner, and frontends load
models from their own path. A wrong mount fails silently: the export
succeeds and the model never appears.

The owner writes a probe file with a random nonce into its models path
at start. A frontend fetches the nonce over the carrier and checks at
start, then every 60 seconds, that the same file is visible at the same
absolute path. On a mismatch it logs an error, reports model_exports
false and blocks its export and import routes. The owner refuses an
export or import while its own probe is missing, and keeps running if
it cannot write the probe. An unreachable or older owner gives
"unknown" and leaves exports on.

* feat(addons): let frontends run the backend update check through the owner

In named-user mode a frontend has no user to act as, so the background
backend update check failed there. Add one read-only system call for
the release lookup. The owner accepts it only on the peer-authenticated
route from a pinned frontend, only for backend-releases, and without an
actor. Calls through /addons/forward cannot carry the mark, and every
user-facing call still goes through the administrator check.

hit the refusal of the export route. Add GET /api/fine-tuning/status and
GET /api/quantization/status. Each returns {"model_exports": bool}, from
the same check that drives the model_exports key of /api/features.

The routes sit behind the add-ons gate, so they answer 503 when add-ons
are off. They are listed in the swagger spec, the instructions registry,
the route-feature registry and the feature docs.

fix(httpclient): validate redirect targets and pin dialed addresses for user URLs

Clients that fetch user-supplied URLs followed redirects without checking
the target, so a public host could send them to a loopback, link-local
or private address. The host was also resolved twice, once to validate
it and once to connect, so a changing DNS answer could bypass the check.

Add httpclient.WithExternalOnly. It validates every redirect hop against
the external URL policy and, for the default transport, resolves the
host, refuses it if any address is non-public, and dials the validated
address. Environment proxies are not used for such clients.

Move the policy (ValidateExternalURL, IsPublicIP) into pkg/httpclient
so it can be used without an import cycle; pkg/utils keeps delegating
to it. IsPublicIP now also refuses 100.64.0.0/10, 0.0.0.0/8,
192.0.0.0/24, 198.18.0.0/15, 240.0.0.0/4, multicast, and NAT64
addresses that wrap a non-public IPv4 address.

Use the option for the base64, image, audio and video downloads, and
drop the video client's own per-hop check.

The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the

* 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.

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.

* feat(addons): make the Voice add-on one page with tabs

The Voice add-on had four pages: recognition, library, create and
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.

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

* 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.

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

* 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(backends): upgrade library backends with the auto-upgrade switch

The upgrade checker now installs the newer build of a library backend
when auto_upgrade_backends is on, on the same check that upgrades the
gallery backends. With the switch off nothing is installed and the
Update button stays manual. The switch is read on every check, so a
change in the runtime settings applies at the next one. There is no
second toggle.

The tests cover both states and a host without a library.

* 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.

* feat(addons): let a source of your own win an entry over a default

When two enabled sources list the same entry (same kind and id), the
source the user added wins over a shipped default, and the default is
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.

- addons.md: the full backend entry with the new fields (mirrors,
  capabilities, license, urls, tags, icon URL, mutable, schemaVersion),

the local backend directory on a single node, the workers' listings on a

so a normal run answered every add-on request as unavailable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The drawer drew the icon of a built-in tile (Studio's palette was one)

the size of the page text.

Give the built-in tile the same classes as the placeholder box, and

* fix(ui): hide the pinned apps in the icon rail

When the window is narrower than 1024 px the sidebar shrinks to the icon rail by CSS alone, without the collapsed class. The pinned app links were still drawn there, with the indent meant for the full sidebar, so their icons sat to the right of the rail and were cut off. Hide the pinned app links in both rail states. The Apps entry keeps its centred icon. The e2e spec checks that the rail shows no pinned app and that every icon is centred at 1280 px collapsed and at 1000 px.

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

The test reads the redirected URL right after the path changes. The
Backends page then loads the installed list and drops a selected backend
that is not installed, so the backend parameter was sometimes already gone
when the test read it. The mock server has no llama-cpp, and about 15 of
40 repeated runs failed on the backend assertion. The redirect itself was
correct, including show_all.

Serve the selected backend in the installed list, so the page keeps the
selection and the assertions stay as strict as before.

* fix(addons): accept a same-host Referer or Origin for human confirmation

Browsers send no Sec-Fetch-* headers over plain HTTP on an address that
is not localhost, so creating a resource from a LAN address failed with
"Creating a resource requires your own browser session".

When Sec-Fetch-Site is present it must still be same-origin with an
empty destination, as before. When it is absent, Origin or, failing
that, Referer must name the request host and port. A destination or
mode that is present must still be the expected one. This matches the
rule in BrowserProtection. The credential, token cookie, API key and
tool-context checks are unchanged.

Apps entry is active there. The hubs keep their own routes, and the
legacy navigation still gives /app/addons to the Build hub.

The app decides what its page shows. The shell drew the add-on name as a

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

this way; this change states the rule beside the unavailable state and
pins it in the specs.

The shell spec now expects exactly one title in the unavailable states.

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

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

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

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

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

Stefan Walcz b56b903c92 feat(config): let model aliases carry an opt-in profile block (system prompt, MCP, client tools) (#12661)
* feat(config): let model aliases carry an opt-in profile block

An alias can now act as a profile of its target through an explicit
`profile:` block carrying system_prompt, mcp (remote/stdio servers, plus
the new mcp.auto) and the new client_tools. ResolveAlias applies only
that block on top of a copy of the target, while Name, Model, Backend
and the persisted revision stay the target's. The loader key is
therefore unchanged and every profile runs on the target's backend
process; today a persona needs a separate model config, which loads the
weights a second time.

The block is opt-in so existing aliases never change: top-level fields
on an alias stay ignored, and an alias without a profile block resolves
to exactly the target. A profile block on a non-alias config is
rejected.

A profile with its own MCP servers caches its sessions under the alias
name (MCPSessionKey), because the cache slot keyed on the target's name
is invalidated whenever its config hash changes and two server sets
would tear each other's sessions down.

mcp.auto enables all configured servers on /v1/chat/completions when the
request does not name any in metadata.mcp_servers, which plain OpenAI
clients cannot send. client_tools: drop discards client tools and
tool_choice before the request is merged (chat completions, responses,
Anthropic messages), so only the model's own MCP tools are offered.
Both keys work on any model and inside an alias's profile block.

* fix(openai): only auto-enable model MCP when MCP is enabled and permitted

mcp.auto turns a plain /v1/chat/completions request into a server-side
MCP request. It now applies the same controls as the dedicated MCP
routes before any server is selected: the instance switch
(LOCALAI_DISABLE_MCP) and, with auth on, the caller's "mcp" feature,
checked with auth.HasFeatureAccess against the auth database that the
chat route now passes to ChatEndpoint.

A denied request is answered as a plain chat, without contacting a
server or adding tools, rather than rejected: the client did not ask
for MCP, it only reached a model that offers it.

Endpoint specs drive ChatEndpoint against a counting MCP fixture server:
MCP disabled and a user with chat but without mcp see no tools and no
connection; MCP enabled and a user with mcp get the fixture tool. The
user specs need the auth build tag (SQLite auth database).

GET /v1/mcp/servers/:model, /v1/mcp/prompts/:model and
/v1/mcp/resources/:model looked the model up with GetModelConfig, which
returns the alias stub. A profile alias carries its servers in its
profile block, so the stub has none of its own and the endpoints
reported an empty list for an alias whose chat requests do use tools.

Resolve the alias the way the request middleware does before reading the
MCP config, and open the sessions under MCPSessionKey so discovery shares
the profile's session cache slot instead of tearing down the target's.

* feat(config): opt-in evidence check for profile aliases

A profile with server-side MCP tools (profile.mcp, mcp.auto) runs its
tools on the server and returns only the answer text. On the next turn
the client sends the history back without those tool calls and results,
and the model then tends to skip the tool and answer from nothing. In a
measurement on a follow-up question, 0 of 12 turns called the tool and
the answers carried invented numbers (e.g. "0" where the true value was
9); with the tool trail kept in the history the tool was called 12 of
12 times. A prompt instruction does not reliably prevent this, so the
check sits at the output.

New profile keys:

  profile:
    evidence_check:
      numbers: true   # enables the check
      note: "..."     # optional, defaults to an English note

Rule, per request and stateless: when the check is on, no MCP tool call
succeeded on the server during this request (a call that returned an
error delivers no evidence and does not count), and the final answer contains a
number (\b\d+([.,]\d+)?\b) that occurs in none of the request's input
(the profile's system prompt and every message as received, before
compression), the note is appended after a blank line. "3,5" and "3.5"
count as the same number. In a streamed response the note is one extra
content delta before the finish chunk. Choices that hand tool calls to
the client are not checked. The setting is only read from a profile
block, so plain models and aliases behave as before; a note without
numbers: true is rejected at validation.

Tests (Ginkgo): the number rule (invented number, number from the input,
no numbers, comma/dot decimals, system prompt as evidence, tool ran),
the overlay into the resolved config with plain alias, target and a
top-level key as counter-checks, validation, and ChatEndpoint specs on a
stubbed backend for both paths: note on an invented number, none for a
number from the request, none for a profile without the check, none
after a successful MCP tool call against an in-process MCP server, and
the note again after a failed tool call (arguments that are not JSON).

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

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

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

The build flags (--tags, --coverpkg) are quoted correctly so values

eval.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

useChat now probes /api/conversations on mount. When the endpoint
responds 200, the server becomes the authoritative source: the hook
merges remote conversations into local state and pushes per-chat PUT
updates on each debounced save. When the endpoint 404s - older LocalAI
deploys or the feature disabled - the hook silently keeps the old
localStorage-only behaviour, so the change is backward-compatible.

Migration: when the server is reachable but empty and the browser has
local conversations with history, the hook fires a single
PUT /api/conversations/bulk to seed the server. The atomic bulk endpoint
avoids partial-upload states where a retry would skip already-uploaded
entries.

Delete operations propagate to the server when it's available; failures
are silently swallowed so the local UI stays responsive on transient
network errors.

.golangci.yml — LocalAI mandates Ginkgo/Gomega for all Go tests (see
.agents/coding-style.md).

Restructured the same six scenarios into Describe / Context / It blocks,
with a chathistory_suite_test.go bootstrap that registers the Ginkgo
fail handler. Test coverage is unchanged: basic CRUD round-trip, cross-
instance persistence, user isolation, unsafe ID rejection (now via
DescribeTable), bulk replace overwrite, and the anonymous fallback
path.

* refactor(chathistory): switch store to GORM-backed authDB

Addresses mudler's review on #9902. Chat history was the only per-user
state in LocalAI sitting in a separate filesystem store instead of the
shared GORM database — AgentStore and JobStore both live there. Move
it onto Application.authDB so per-user state stays in one place.

* ConversationRecord (GORM model) with composite primary key
  (user_id, conv_id) — React mints IDs locally with no global
  coordination so per-user uniqueness is the natural shape.
* Store.New(db *gorm.DB) replaces Store.New(baseDir string).
  Save / Get / List / Delete / DeleteAll / ReplaceAll keep their
  signatures so HTTP handlers and the React UI are untouched.
* ReplaceAll runs in a transaction with an Unscoped() pre-clear so a
  future retention sweep cannot resurrect a stale ID on re-upload.
* gorm.DeletedAt in the schema means a future retention pruner is a
  one-line query — addresses the second half of the review (unbounded
  in-memory map). The map is gone: reads go straight to the DB.

Trade-off worth flagging in the PR reply: chat history persistence
now requires auth.Enabled = true (that's what initialises
Application.authDB). With auth disabled the React UI transparently
falls back to localStorage, the same path the original PR took on
404. Consistent with AgentStore / JobStore; if a "chat history
always on" mode is preferred we can pull DB init out of auth.InitDB
into a shared helper.

* test(chathistory): switch tests to testutil.SetupTestDB

Mirror the AgentStore test setup: spin up a PostgreSQL 16 container
via testutil.SetupTestDB(), construct a Store on top of it, exercise
CRUD round-trips. The previous file-based fixtures (TempDir,
filepath.Join checks) are no longer meaningful now that the store
talks GORM.

Tests are skipped on macOS (testcontainers needs Docker) and run on
CI, same as the other GORM-backed suites in the repo.

Also reframed two cases:
* "unsafe IDs" → "malformed IDs" — the DB-backed store doesn't care
  about path traversal, but idRegex still rejects whitespace /
  control characters so IDs stay safe in logs and HTTP responses.
* "anonymous user" no longer pins a directory path (no directory
  exists anymore); instead it checks the round-trip plus the
  per-user isolation guarantee.

Added a DeleteAll round-trip to cover the bulk-clear endpoint.

* test(chathistory): cover the conversation HTTP handlers

The seven /api/conversations handlers had no tests. Inject the
*chathistory.Store into the handlers instead of the whole Application and
move the route table into RegisterChatHistoryRoutes, so a spec can drive
the real registration and middleware chain (auth.Middleware plus the
chat_history feature gate) against an in-memory SQLite auth database.

The new specs cover 401 without credentials on every route, 403 when an
admin revoked chat_history, the CRUD round trip, path id over body id,
400 on malformed ids and bodies, per-user isolation, bulk replace and
delete-all, and that a nil store registers nothing (the UI then falls
back to localStorage).

The handlers' nil-store branches are gone: the routes are only
registered with a store, so those branches could never run.

* fix(chathistory): make deletions final with tombstones and versions

A conversation deleted on one device came back as soon as a client with
a stale copy wrote it again: Delete soft-deleted the row, and the next
Save went through GORM's upsert, which cleared deleted_at and resurrected
it for every device. The lookup that recovered CreatedAt also ran outside
any transaction, so concurrent writers raced on it.

The server is now authoritative over deletions:

* Delete turns the row into a tombstone: content dropped, deleted_at
  set. It is idempotent, and deleting an id the server has not seen yet
  still records a tombstone, so a delete that overtakes the UI's
  in-flight debounced save of the same chat still wins.
* Save runs in a transaction, refuses a tombstoned id with ErrDeleted
  (HTTP 410 Gone), and bumps the version with a single
  UPDATE ... SET version = version + 1 guarded by deleted_at IS NULL,
  so concurrent writers each count and a delete committed between the
  lookup and the write still wins. Two concurrent first writes of the
  same id retry once (ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, then update).
* Every row carries a server-assigned version (1 on the first save,
  +1 per write including the delete), returned to the client. A non-zero
  version tells the UI the server has seen a conversation, which is how
  it can tell a never-synced draft from a server-side deletion.
* GET /api/conversations returns the tombstones under "deleted".
* DeleteAll and ReplaceAll leave tombstones too. ReplaceAll no longer
  hard-deletes everything first; it upserts the payload, skips ids that
  were deleted (reported in "skipped"), and tombstones the rest.
* createdAt/updatedAt are stored as the client sends them (only zero
  values are stamped), so clients compare updatedAt from their own
  clocks rather than against the server's.

The store specs now run against PostgreSQL (testcontainers) and, with
the auth tag, SQLite through auth.InitDB, since both back the auth
database. The API specs cover a stale client reconnecting after a remote
deletion. Swagger is regenerated with swag v1.16.6 (json.RawMessage
fields get swaggertype), and the feature is documented, including that
it needs user auth.

* fix(react-ui): let the server decide which chats were deleted

mergeRemoteAndLocal kept every chat that was only in the browser and
let the server copy win for every shared id. A stale browser therefore
uploaded chats deleted on another device as if they were new drafts,
and a message sent while the list request was still in flight was
replaced by the older server copy and then lost from localStorage too.

The first load now reconciles with the server's tombstones and versions:

* a chat the server lists under "deleted" is dropped locally;
* a chat on both sides keeps the copy with the newer updatedAt, so an
  edit made during the load wins and is uploaded afterwards;
* a chat only in the browser is uploaded only if it was never synced
  (no version). With a version the server has seen it and no longer
  has it, so it is dropped instead of resurrected (this also keeps one
  account's cached chats out of another account on a shared browser);
* deletes made while the list is loading are queued and sent once it
  arrives.

Saves record the version the server returns, and a 410 on save drops
the chat locally instead of retrying it forever. Chats received from
the server count as already sent, so adopting a server copy no longer
echoes it straight back. The bulk localStorage migration is gone: it
replaced the whole server set from a possibly stale browser, and the
per-chat saves already upload never-synced drafts through the tombstone
check.

The Playwright spec drives each case against a stubbed
/api/conversations that follows the server contract.

* fix(react-ui): scope chat cache per account, retry unconfirmed deletes

Two gaps in the client half of server-side chat history, both found in
review:

The browser cache was one shared localStorage key. A draft that one
account could not upload (a failed first save) stayed in it, and after
that account signed out and another signed in, the reconcile kept the
unversioned draft and the save pass uploaded it into the second
account. The cache now lives under localai_chats_data:<user id>, Chat
remounts its state when the account changes, and nothing is synced
without a signed-in account. The shared key is left for browser-only
use without auth and is not uploaded when signed in, because nothing
tells which account it belongs to.

Deletes were dropped locally and their DELETE errors swallowed; only
deletes made while the first list was loading were queued, and not
persisted. A delete made while the server was unreachable therefore
came back with the next list. Deletes (single, delete all, and deletes
on the Home page) are now kept as pending deletes in the account's
cache until the server confirms them, override the server list in the
reconcile, and are sent again on the next change, on the online event
and on the next load. While a delete-all is pending no conversation is
uploaded, so a chat started after it is not caught by it.

The Playwright specs replay both review scenarios (account switch after
a failed first save; delete and delete-all while offline) with
counter-checks that the same account keeps and uploads its own draft
and that a confirmed delete is neither re-sent nor resurrected.

- "a delete the server confirmed is not sent again" reopened the page as

* feat(llama-cpp): add slot prompt-cache save and restore API

Add POST /v1/slots/save and POST /v1/slots/restore. They write one
llama.cpp slot's prompt cache (KV state) to a file and load it back,
so a client can warm a long system prompt in a few hundred
milliseconds instead of re-running prefill. Refs #12685.

The new SlotCache gRPC call posts the same slot save and restore
tasks the llama-server /slots endpoint uses. It is off unless the
model sets the new slot_save_path option, so existing models are not
affected. The /slots monitoring endpoint is not needed here: the
backend has no HTTP server.

The file name comes from the caller, so it is checked twice, in Go
and again in the backend. It must be one path component: no empty
name, "/", "\", "..", NUL, control characters or absolute path. The
resolved path, with symbolic links followed, must be a direct child
of slot_save_path. The routes are admin only because they write
files on the backend host.

* fix(llama-cpp): answer 501 when a backend lacks slot cache

UNIMPLEMENTED. The API passed that text through, so the client saw
"unknown method SlotCache". Map the status to a typed error in
core/backend and return 501 with a fixed message instead. Every other
error path is unchanged.

Make the SlotCache comments in backend.proto backend-neutral: slot is
the backend's state slot, filename must stay inside the save directory,
and an empty model_identity means the backend does not check it. Only
comments change, no field or name.

* fix(llama-cpp): issue slot cache IDs on the server

The slot save and restore API let the client pick the file name.
Restore could load any file in slot_save_path, and the symlink check
ran before llama.cpp opened the file.

The backend now issues the name. A save returns a random 128-bit ID
(32 lowercase hex characters, read from /dev/urandom) and never
overwrites an existing file. Files live in a 0700 directory per model,
named from the SHA-256 of the model identity, with a manifest.json
that records each save. The manifest is written atomically and a
corrupt one stops both save and restore.

A restore takes the ID, finds it in the manifest, refuses an entry of
another model, builds the path from the entry and checks with lstat
that it is a plain file of the recorded size. The directory mode is
the main defence against another local user, since llama.cpp still
opens the path itself.

Each model keeps at most 32 saves and the oldest is deleted first. A
file over 8 GiB is deleted after the save, because llama.cpp does not
report the size before it writes. Responses carry no host path.

The HTTP bodies change: save takes {model, slot}, restore takes
{model, slot, id}, and an unknown ID returns 404. In the proto,
SlotCacheRequest.filename and SlotCacheResponse.filename become id.
SlotCache no longer calls checkModelIdentity, which reads a field this
request does not have.

Tailwind CDN and jQuery. The global CSP is unchanged. The iframe keeps
sandbox="allow-scripts" without allow-same-origin.

Previews are kept in memory for 10 minutes and are never written to

* feat(stablediffusion-ggml): run MiniMax-H3 video with reference conditioning

Bump stable-diffusion.cpp to 2988060 and follow its tiling rename
(tile_size_x/y -> tile_size_w/h, rel_size_x/y -> rel_size_w/h).

GenerateVideo now passes params["ref_image"] and the request audio to
the MiniMax-H3 Ref2VA inputs (ref_images, ref_audios). The audio must
be a WAV file. params["ref_video"] is refused, since the proto cannot
carry a frame sequence yet.

stable-diffusion.cpp cannot tell the FL2VA and REF2VA DiTs apart, and a
reference input on FL2VA renders a wrong video without an error. The
backend now reads the video_partition option, or the model file name,
and fails early on that mix. Keyframes plus references are refused too.

Add gallery entries for the FL2VA and REF2VA Q4_K_M sets. They do not
enable any bf16 dequantisation.

* feat(stablediffusion-ggml): take several reference images, videos and audio clips

Phase 1 passed one reference image and one reference audio clip to
stable-diffusion.cpp and refused ref_video. Add repeated reference fields
to GenerateVideoRequest (ref_images, ref_videos, ref_audios) so the
MiniMax-H3 Ref2VA path can use as many references as upstream accepts. A
reference video is a directory of frames with an fps and an optional
paired audio clip.

The /video endpoint stages the new inputs through the same path as
start_image, end_image and audio. Frames of one reference video are
written to a private directory under zero-padded names so the backend can
read them in order. The input count and frame count per request are
bounded.

The backend merges the new fields with params.ref_image, params.ref_video
and audio, which keep working. The FL2VA partition refuses any reference
input, REF2VA accepts all of them, and keyframes stay exclusive with
references. Reference audio is still WAV only.

model page lists: pruned Q8_0 (renders), pruned Q6_K, Q5_0, Q4_K, Q3_K and
Q2_K (load only), and the pruned FL2VA NVFP4 file (loads only). The
earlier names minimax-h3-fl2va-q4 and minimax-h3-ref2va-q4 stay as
aliases. The two stable-diffusion.cpp entries become
minimax-h3-fl2va-unpruned-q4-ggml and minimax-h3-ref2va-pruned-q4-ggml,
and the latter now lists video input.

Fix two bad sources. The stable-diffusion.cpp entries took the VAEs from
a path that does not exist in the GGUF repository; they now use the
Comfy-Org copies. The vllm.cpp entries paired the fp16 video VAE weights
with a config from a different directory; they now use the official
weights and config from FL2VA/video_vae/source/.

Drop video_dequant_bf16 from every vllm.cpp entry. Expanding a quantised
DiT to bf16 is the suspected cause of a host out-of-memory error, so the
quantised weights stay resident. The model page records its renders with
the expansion on, and each description says so.

Plamen K. Kosseff addcec0c28 fix(models): resolver-gated queueing and editor polling for manual imports
Review round at aec658a99:
- [P1] acquisition is decided by PrimaryArtifactSpec: managed artifacts
  (hf:// repos, bare owner/repo, explicit artifacts:) enqueue with no
  file entries so the worker's InstallModel runs the artifact binding
  and repository materializer — flattening them into file entries routed
  repositories through the single-file downloader and skipped the
  materializer. Plain remote files keep the legacy file path; malformed
  references fail at admission. Covered by endpoint specs and a
  worker-level materializer spec.
- [P2] both ModelEditor create paths wait on the returned job before
  announcing success and navigating; download failures surface as save
  errors instead of after a success toast.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 6343a2dc6f feat(voice-detect): report the encoder family so audio-registered voices are fingerprinted (#12499)
* feat(voice-detect): report the encoder family so audio-registered voices are fingerprinted

A voice registered from audio through the voice-detect backend had no
encoder fingerprint, so the parakeet-cpp backend could not tell whether
it was comparable with the loaded speaker model and could only fall back
to the file-name rule.

The voice-detect backend now binds the three new libvoicedetect accessors
with a symbol probe (an older library still loads and reports nothing),
copies the borrowed strings at once and never frees them. It also hashes
the model file once at load. VoiceEmbedResponse gains two optional
fields, encoder_family and encoder_weights ("sha256:<hex>", empty when
the model is not a plain file).

/v1/voice/register stores them as encoder_family and a new
encoder_weights field in the registry entry; model keeps the encoder
name, so the 1:N identify filter by name is unchanged for old entries.
A voice with a family is sent to the backend whatever its file name, and
the backend decides by family. /v1/voice/identify compares the family
when both the stored voice and the probe have one. Old entries load
without the fields and stay unfingerprinted.

* feat(diarization): return sound events with include_sounds

A client that wants text, speakers, voice prints and sound events had to
make a diarization call and a separate sound call. Add an include_sounds
request field to /v1/audio/diarization that adds a sounds array of closed
events {start, end, label, confidence}, in seconds.

The parakeet-cpp backend runs a tagger-only scene stream over the clip,
the same stream and thresholds the live path uses, so a clip gives the
same events offline and live. A model with no sound_model companion, or a
backend that does not report sound events, fails with 501 and the stable
code include_sounds_unsupported instead of an empty list. The proto
carries sounds_included so an empty list still means "nothing heard".

The localai-proxy backend forwards the field. Swagger, docs and the
e2e mock backend are updated.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): encoder fingerprint for speaker naming, vad_trim and guard_* options

Speaker naming. A registered voice now carries the encoder that made it:
the embedding family (voicedetect:<arch>:<name>:<dim>) and the sha256 of
the weights. The backend reports the family of the loaded speaker model in
Status, voice enrollment from speaker_profiles stores it as encoder_family
(old entries load without it), and the registry sent to parakeet.cpp is
built with parakeet_capi_speaker_registry_add_embedding_fp. The library
then refuses a registry of another encoder family and the error names both
families; another quantization of the same family only warns. A voice with
only a weights hash gets the loaded family when the hashes are equal.

Voices without a fingerprint (registered from audio: libvoicedetect cannot
report one) keep the file-name rule and are used with a warning. The
library cannot mix them with fingerprinted voices in one registry, so a
request that has any uses the old registry for all. speaker_strict:true
drops them instead. A library without the symbols behaves as before.

Transcription. vad_trim (seconds, 0 keeps the whole cuts) goes through the
VAD options JSON, so it reaches /v1/vad and the segmenter. The guard_*
options guard_min_local_conf, guard_local_radius and guard_drop_punct_only
turn on the word filter through parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json_with,
or through the segmenter with vad:true. They are off by default, bad
values fail the load, and a library without the symbol fails it with a
clear message. The dropped word count is logged at debug level.

Stefan Walcz 5f5feea15a fix(agentpool): keep the conversation in the agent web chat (#12410)
* feat(agents): keep the web chat history between messages

The agent chat endpoint ran every message as a fresh job
(ag.Ask(WithText(message))), so a follow-up such as "add two days to
item 3 and recalculate" never saw the answer it referred to. Agents
then rebuilt their reply from scratch instead of changing it.

Use the agent's own conversation tracker, as the Telegram and Slack
connectors already do: send the earlier turns with the new message and
record successful answers. Failed, cancelled or empty runs are not
recorded, and the tracker drops a conversation after the agent's
last_message_duration of inactivity. The distributed (NATS) chat path is
unchanged.

* fix(agents): keep each web chat conversation's history separate

Review on this PR: the first version kept the history in the agent's
conversation tracker under one fixed key per agent. The web UI keeps
several conversations per agent (New Chat, switching, Clear) and did not
send which one a message belongs to, so the hidden history mixed them:
a new chat received the previous chat's turns, and Clear only cleared
the screen.

The client now sends the earlier turns of the conversation it is
showing as `history` with POST /api/agents/:name/chat, and the server
keeps no web chat history of its own. Each conversation only ever sees
its own turns; New Chat and Clear start without history. The server
uses only user and assistant turns with text, bounded to the most
recent 40 turns and 64,000 characters. `history` is optional, so
existing callers keep the previous behaviour (no history); the
distributed (NATS) path does not forward it yet.

Tests: two conversations of one agent stay apart, an empty history
(New Chat or Clear) starts fresh, system/tool/empty turns are dropped,
the bounds keep the most recent turns; the UI helper that builds the
history from the visible messages has node --test coverage. Docs:
features/agents.md describes `history` and the web UI behaviour.

frontend never publishes to. After the subject rules landed it exited
at subscribe time with an error that did not name the setting.

Behaviour change: the worker now checks LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT before it
registers or connects, and exits with an error that names the variable
and says to use a served subject under the agent root, for example
agent.execute. The served roots are not widened: a custom root was
never delivered by the frontend, and a wider set would reopen the

backend-op fan-out marks the node unhealthy. Each spec drives the real
caller with a scripted no-responders reply and reads the result from
the registry or the recorded requests.

A fourth spec pins the other side: a pending op that times out leaves
the node healthy and only counts the attempt, so mapping timeouts onto
ErrNoRoute would fail here.

runs before the connection is used, and needs no server.

The NATS conformance suite is the only check that runs the subject rules
against a real carrier. Before this change it skipped without output
when Docker was missing. Now it fails when CI is set, so a Linux runner
without Docker cannot hide it. It still skips on local runs and on macOS

the maximum attempts. The note now says that MarkUnhealthy is the only
change to the node's own state, and that the per-op accounting is not
a verdict about the node.

The note also documents that the NATS conformance run fails under CI
when Docker is missing. The distributed-seams row moves next to the

* refactor(http): proxy backend logs through the per-node worker dialer

The admin backend-logs proxy (list, lines and the WebSocket stream) now reaches a worker through the same per-node dialer as the HTTP file stager, so every frontend-to-worker dial goes through one seam. The shared direct dialer keeps alive for 15s where the proxy used 30s. Harmless for requests bounded at 15s.

* refactor(worker): report install progress through the control sink

Install and upgrade now emit download progress through the sink the control server hands them. The debounce and the terminal flush stay in the handler path, built over that sink by the new nodes.NewDebouncedInstallProgressSink, which replaces NewDebouncedInstallProgressPublisher. The subject and payload on the wire are unchanged. The supervisor no longer holds the bus, and installFn and upgradeFn let specs drive both verbs without a gallery.

The malformed-request log lines are restored for install, upgrade, backend.delete, model.unload, model.stop and model.delete, with the reply bytes unchanged. The signal adapter is renamed noReply, which also lets worker.go import os/signal without an alias again.

Enqueue publishes the payload as Publish does today, with one JSON marshal. FakeBus now records queue groups and keeps reply handlers so later specs can pin and drive them.

* refactor: publish queued work through WorkQueue

The job dispatcher, the agent pool and the agent scheduler enqueue through messaging.WorkQueue; the NATS implementation publishes to the same subjects as before.

* refactor(agent-worker): serve MCP requests and backend.stop through agentRPCServer

The agent worker's MCP tool and discovery reply subscriptions and its backend stop listener move behind an unexported agentRPCServer interface, served on NATS by nodes.NATSAgentRPCServer. The handlers become typed mcp.ToolHandler and mcp.DiscoveryHandler values that answer every failure with a reply carrying Error.

Queue group (agent-workers), inline execution on the delivery goroutine, the background handler context, the unmarshal error reply texts and the reply-less backend stop subscription are unchanged. The backend stop handler takes the decoded backend name, so it can still close that backend's MCP sessions.

concurrently on each worker with every test green.

Move the MCP CI Consume call into startMCPCIConsumer with the same wiring

* refactor: remove helpers the branch left without a caller

SubjectJobCancelWildcard lost its last subscriber when the frontend
stopped listening on jobs.*.cancel; the NATS permissions and conformance
suite spell the subject out, so nothing reads the constant.

decodeBackendStopRequest returned a stopAll flag that production dropped
and only a test read. decodeBackendStop is now the single decoder with the
same semantics: an empty body is stop-all, an empty Backend is stop-all,
malformed JSON is an error. stopBackends still derives stop-all from
Backend, so no reply changes.

* fix(messaging): keep an explicitly empty agent queue a plain subscription

Before the work queue seam the agent worker passed LOCALAI_AGENT_QUEUE
straight to QueueSubscribe, so an explicitly empty value made a plain
subscription and every agent worker ran every agent run.
WithAgentRunRoute replaced an empty queue with agent-workers, which
silently changed that.

Keep the queue as given once the option is applied. An empty subject still
falls back to agent.execute, since it never had a meaning of its own. The
flag default stays agent-workers, so only an explicitly empty value
reaches this.

second carrier notes to the developer note: the reconciler has no
ClientFactory option, the logs proxy honours HTTP_PROXY, verbs one carrier

agent runs publish through the NATS-bound EventBridge, which is not an

* feat(voice): list registered voices and record which encoder made them

The voice registry could register, identify and forget but not list, and
it did not remember which speaker encoder produced an embedding. Add
Metadata.Model and Registry.List, answered from the index the store
registry already keeps for Forget. Needed so a backend can be given the
registered voices that match its own speaker encoder.

When a diarization model has a speaker_model option, the endpoint sends
the registered voices made by that encoder to the backend. The backend's

SPEAKER_NN speaker, and the speakers summary carries the first name seen
for each speaker. RTTM output and results without names are unchanged.

* feat(live): pass registered voices to a live session and surface speaker names

Live sessions now send the registered voices that match the model's

* feat(parakeet-cpp): name the speakers in Diarize from the known voices

Diarize builds a per-request speaker registry from the known voices when a

path. A library without ABI 10 reports Unimplemented instead of dropping
the names.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): name speakers in the live scene stream

The live scene stream now begins with a known-voice registry when a
speaker model is loaded and the live config carries voices, and each
closed speaker segment takes its slot's current name from the feed's
names map. A segment that closes before its slot is identified has an
empty name. The registry is freed after the stream, on every path.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): skip an unusable registered voice instead of failing the request

A registered voice with the wrong embedding size, or one the C side
refused, failed the whole diarization request, so one legacy voice broke
the model for every user. Skip such voices with a warning that does not
carry the voice name, and take the plain path when none is left.

Also map an exact 0 speaker threshold or margin to a tiny positive value,
since the C side reads 0 as "use the default", and fix a stale comment
about which contexts Free() walks.

The different-encoder warning fired on every request. Log it once per

in parakeet.cpp since: the voice identification change (C-API v9, #78) and
raw-embedding enroll plus diarize-only speaker naming (C-API v10, #79).

New real-library specs (gated on PARAKEET_BACKEND_TEST_SPEAKER_MODEL,
_DIAR_MODEL, _WAV and, for the live path, _STREAM_MODEL) name the two
speakers of two_speakers.wav from a committed pair of WeSpeaker embeddings,
with the voices passed in reversed order. They also check that the float32
threshold reaches C through purego. The shared test loader now registers
the v9/v10 and scene symbols as main.go does.

The rebase onto origin/master had no conflicts.

* feat(vllm-cpp): unify decision pipeline through Score RPC with vllm_decide ABI v29

Replace the model-specific SystemOne gRPC approach with a generic Score
RPC extension. The pre-existing Score RPC (previously unused by any
backend) now carries question_type and response_json fields:

- question_type="systemone" routes kev/laya decision-pipeline requests
  through the unified vllm_decide C ABI (v29), returning the full
  response JSON in response_json.
- question_type empty routes cua-s1-forms candidate scoring through the
  same vllm_decide ABI, returning CandidateScore probabilities.

The vllm-cpp backend's Score() method calls vllm_decide and dispatches
by architecture internally. The /v1/systemone HTTP endpoint checks
whether the model's backend supports Score; if so, it forwards the raw
request JSON and returns the backend response as-is. Other backends
fall through to the existing NER-based path.

This mirrors the vllm.cpp C ABI refactor (PR #3301) that replaced
vllm_systemone + vllm_score with a single vllm_decide function. The
purego bindings bump abiVersion from 27 to 29 and resolve vllm_decide
and vllm_decide_free symbols.

Also fixes validModelPath to accept cua-s1-forms.json and
rl_agent_config.json alongside config.json, matching the engine's
model_loader.cpp config-filename ordering.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 543fb4bd24 fix(gallery): verification follow-ups for oci:// galleries (#12243)
* fix(gallery): verification follow-ups for oci:// galleries

Follow-ups from the post-merge review of #12238 and #12239.

Only a policy decision is a refusal now. cosignverify wraps
ErrPolicyRejected around a failed signature check, an identity or
source-repository mismatch, a not_before cutoff and a missing or
unparseable bundle. A TUF, registry or network failure during
verification, or a timeout, is an outage: the gallery falls back to the
copy verified under the current policy, as it does when the registry is
down.

An oci:// gallery with a verification block, or any oci:// gallery under
strict integrity, is no longer answered by an https://, github: or
file:// mirror. Such a mirror is ignored with a warning, because nothing
can check its signature. The index of an HTTP gallery, whose policy only
covers its backend images, is cached under the URL-only name again, so no
unchecked body is stored under a policy-keyed name.

The in-memory index cache key now includes the policy. After a runtime
policy change the index is fetched again, and entries with a relative url
install again.

The registry digest lookups after install and upgrade, and in the
upgrade check, run only for real registry references (new
URI.LooksLikeRegistryOCI), not for ollama:// or ocifile://.

The refusal message names strict integrity when that is the cause, and
the gallery name is no longer repeated.

Specs pin the URL-only cache name for galleries without a policy, a fixed
key for a fixed policy, and that every GalleryVerification field changes
the key. The docs describe refusal, outage, mirrors and strict integrity.

* fix(gallery): reset listings on gallery changes, classify referrer outages

Review follow-ups for this PR.

The React UI lists from AvailableGalleryModelsCached, which is keyed by
nothing. A gallery change through the settings API or a
runtime_settings.json edit now drops that listing when the model or
backend gallery configuration differs. Before, the UI kept the old list,
with local paths into the old policy's tree, until the next background
refresh, or for good when the new policy refused the gallery.

In cosignverify, a referrer the registry fails to serve now makes the
lookup an outage whatever other referrers failed and in any order, since
the unread one may be the valid signature. An invalid policy (Validate in
NewVerifier, an unparseable not_before) is ErrPolicyRejected, because no
fetch can make it usable.

The docs say that only an oci:// gallery with a verification block skips
non-OCI mirrors, and list an unusable policy as a refusal.

21c5495a99 feat(vllm-cpp): add GLiNER2.5 NER via TokenClassify (#12140)
* feat(vllm-cpp): add GLiNER2.5 NER via TokenClassify

Wire the vllm-cpp backend to the C ABI NER surface (vllm_gliner_ner,
ABI v27) so LocalAI can serve zero-shot named entity recognition through
the existing TokenClassify gRPC method.

backend.go: TokenClassify method on *VllmCpp calls vllm_gliner_ner with
the text and labels, copies the C-owned entity array into protobuf
TokenClassifyEntity messages, and frees the result.

govllmcpp.go: cNerEntity and cNerResult Go POD mirrors matching the C
structs; vllmGlinerNer and vllmNerResultFree purego bindings; abiVersion
bumped 26 -> 27.

options.go: ner_labels, ner_threshold, ner_max_width parsed from
engine_args.

pkg/grpc: ClassifyModel interface and TokenClassify server handler
(follows the Embedding locking pattern).

core/config: vllm-cpp backend declares MethodTokenClassify and
UsecaseTokenClassify.

* feat(vllm-cpp): add kev-compatible SystemOne API endpoints

Add POST /v1/systemone, /v1/systemone/permute, and
/v1/systemone/separate to LocalAI, mirroring the kev project's
structured-extraction API. Each endpoint runs zero-shot NER over the
rendered state text and builds kev-compatible answers for three question
types: noul (binary entity presence), choice (pick one option), and
score (pick one level).

The TokenClassifyRequest proto gains a `repeated string labels` field so
each question can supply its own labels at inference time, and
TokenClassifier gains TokenClassifyWithLabels for per-call label
selection. The vllm-cpp backend uses request labels when non-empty,
falling back to configured ner_labels then the built-in defaults.

Helpers (renderState, softmax, choiceConfidence, scoreConfidence, r2)
are ported from kev/api.py and mirrored in vllm.cpp's api_server.cpp so
both servers produce the same answer shape.

* fix(vllm-cpp): use instruction text as NER label in SystemOne handler

The SystemOne handler was passing question IDs as NER labels for noul
questions and bare key names for choice questions, so the model never
matched any entities. Port the label mapping from vllm.cpp's
ParseSystemOneBody:

- noul: use the rendered instructions field (with instr alias) as the
  NER label, not the question ID
- choice: use optionText(name, desc) — "name: description" or "name"
  when the description is null/empty — not the bare key
- score: already correct (rendered criteria text)
- permute: shuffle indices and build parallel key/label arrays so the
  NER call uses the optionText labels while the response is keyed by
  the original option names

Also add the instructions field to the SystemOneQuestion schema struct
(accepted alongside the instr backward-compat alias).

Verified end-to-end against the real GLiNER2.5 model: noul questions
now find "Apple Inc. is" (organization, 0.999) and "Tim Cook is"
(person, 0.852) where they previously returned zero entities.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto c0b7e64973 feat(ui): show running models and host gauges on single-node installs (#12189)
On a single-node install nothing in Operate listed the models loaded on
this machine or let an admin stop one. The System page that did was
retired in #11548, and its replacements (the Nodes workbench) only work
in distributed mode. The Nodes page also mis-detected single-node mode:
the cluster routes are not registered there, so /api/nodes answers 404,
but only 503 was treated as "distributed off", which sent every
single-node install to the empty worker-registration card. The rail hid
the entry anyway.

Nodes route on a single node becomes "This machine":
- the Nodes page's VRAM / RAM / CPU / models-disk gauges, fed from this
  host by mapping /api/resources onto the worker heartbeat fields
- a memory bar splitting host RAM by running model
- a running-models table (backend, RSS, CPU share, uptime, PID) with
  search, sorting, logs and a confirmed Stop
- the distributed setup behind an "Add machines" button

The Operate overview gains a "Running now" preview (heaviest five, with
Stop) on single node and a pointer to Nodes > Running models on a
cluster. The rail shows "This machine" in Runtime with a running count.

Backend, additive only:
- /system: each loaded model carries a `process` block (pid, rss_bytes,
  memory_percent, cpu_percent, started_at). A sampler keeps one gopsutil
  handle per PID so CPU is the share since the previous poll rather than
  the lifetime average; it is omitted on the first reading.
- /api/resources: host `cpu` and models-path `disk`, the same readings
  workers send in their heartbeat.

Also fixes the fleet tables widening the page on phones: the headers'
absolutely positioned sr-only labels escaped the scroll wrapper.
