mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 7c74d26555 feat(addons): run the add-on owner as its own workload (#12867)
* 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
frontends' private key.

* feat(addons): add util addons-carrier-keys

An operator who runs the add-on owner and its frontends as separate
workloads needs a way to make the shared key set. The command wraps
GenerateCarrierKeys: --out names the directory and --owner-host, which
can repeat, sets the names the owner certificate is valid for. It prints
which files belong on the owner and which on the frontends.

* feat(addons): add the owner and frontend roles to local-ai run

Every local-ai run process is its own add-on owner, so a distributed
deployment cannot scale its frontends: replicas that share a data
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
add-ons folder. A bad role setup stops startup with a message that names
the flag.

* feat(addons): keep the frontend role away from owner state

A frontend holds no add-on state, but it still wrote the library
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
that the data path stays empty.

* test(addons): run the owner and frontends as separate applications

The split roles are only useful if an owner and its frontends work as
separate processes that share nothing but the carrier keys and the owner
address. A spec now builds them as separate Application values with
their own data paths and keys from GenerateCarrierKeys.

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
owner is down and answers unavailable, a second owner refused on the
same root, and an owner that restarts on the same root and address and
still serves the installed add-on to the same frontend.

* docs(addons): describe running the owner as its own workload

An operator who runs several frontend replicas had no documented way to
stop each one from being its own add-on owner. The add-ons page now has
a section for the owner and frontend roles: one owner replica with its
own volume and a recreate-style rollout, a stable owner address, key
generation and per-role mounts, a Compose example, what a restart and an
owner outage look like, the models-path limit, and the frontend limits.
The singleton section names the roles and the distributed-state mode,
and the distributed mode page links to the new section.

* feat(addons): gate the addons feature in /api/features

One function, Application.AddonsFeature, decides whether the add-on
side is on. A combined or owner process answers true when add-ons are
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.

* feat(addons): answer 503 on every add-on route when add-ons are off

With --addons-enabled=false the real add-on, fine-tuning and
quantization routes and services are not registered. One catch-all per
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
after the gate. No endpoint is added, so the swagger, /api/instructions
and RouteFeatureRegistry surfaces do not change.

* feat(addons): build no carrier for a frontend with add-ons off

addonConfigFor already returned the zero config before it read a role
flag when add-ons are disabled. Say so on the way out: when a role,
owner address, listen address or carrier directory flag is set, log one
info line that the flags are ignored. A frontend with
--addons-enabled=false needs no owner address and no key directory,
loads no keys and builds no carrier.

* feat(ui): hide add-on entries when the addons feature is off

The UI reads features.addons from /api/features. When it is false:
the sidebar shows no Add-ons entry and no pinned apps, the 404 page
lists no add-on destination, the shell does not call /api/addons/pins
or /api/addons/builtin, and /app/addons, /app/addons/*, /app/fine-tune
and /app/quantize lead back to /app. The Build hub tabs for add-ons,
fine-tuning and quantization were already keyed on features and now
follow the gate. An absent key (an older server) counts as on.

no owner address or key directory. The fine-tuning and quantization
pages say they are off with --addons-enabled=false.

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

OwnerConfig.validate required an absolute root for every role, so a
frontend named a path under the data directory that nothing was allowed
to open. Only the owner has a state root now: validate checks it when
the instance is the owner, and the frontend role leaves Root empty.
Nothing on a frontend reads or creates it.

* fix(addons): make the carrier signing key optional for the owner

NewCarrier required an Ed25519 signing key of every instance, so the
owner role loaded a throwaway key in memory that it never used. The
owner never signs an outbound request, so it now needs none:
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.

* Keep the owner address out of the add-on identity file

The owner address is runtime configuration, so storing it and comparing
the whole file made a moved owner refuse its own root. The identity file
now holds the owner ID and storage ID only. An older file that still has
an address loads, and the address is ignored. A different owner ID or
storage ID is still refused.

* 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
combined roles are unchanged.

WriteUnavailable wrote the plain text "addon request failed", and the
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
header.

* 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.

* feat(mcp): expose the backend update check as a tool

Add list_backend_library_updates, a read-only tool for
GET /backends/library/updates. The in-process client reads the

library source routes stay out of the catalog: the assistant has no
per-call actor and no approval card for library changes.

* feat(api): add export status routes for fine-tuning and quantization

The add-on UIs could not know that model exports are blocked until a user
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.

The fine-tuning and quantization pages now read the new status route

to the control. A failed or slow answer leaves the controls on, as the
server does for an unknown check.

Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode

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

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

* 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.

A library entry now has an optional kind: addon (the default when it is

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.

The backend library route installs a backend from an add-on library

Add the install_library_backend tool with an in-process and an HTTP
client, the route map entry, the safety-rule listing and a skill recipe.

Listing library entries stays on the add-on routes, which the assistant

* 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.

* feat(ui): mark library backends and offer their updates on the Backends page

A backend installed from a library now shows the library ID next to its
name and, in the detail, the library and the digest that metadata.json
pinned. Gallery backends look and behave as before, and the gallery
reinstall is not offered for a library backend, because the gallery does
not list it.

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

* fix(mcp): match the library installer to the progress type

* 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.

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

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

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

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

The single-node loopback transport took a new ephemeral port at each

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

* 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat(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 6fc2bc4967 fix(chat-history): create the store after the auth database is opened (#12788)
The conversation routes are only registered when the chat history store
exists, and the store needs the auth database. It was created in start(),
which New() runs before it opens the auth database, so the store was always
nil and /api/conversations answered 404 with auth enabled; the React UI fell
back to localStorage and nothing was synced between devices.

The route tests register the routes with a store directly and never went
through New(). Create the store right after the auth database is opened,
and cover it through New(): with auth the store exists, without auth or with
the WebUI disabled it stays nil.

* feat(schema): add Conversation schema for chat history (#9432)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* refactor(schema): drop now-unused ConversationsFile envelope

ConversationsFile was the JSON wrapper for the old file-based chat
history store — a {Conversations: [...], UpdatedAt: ...} pair
serialised to disk under {baseDir}/{userID}/conversations.json. The
previous commit replaced that store with a GORM-backed one that
writes rows directly as ConversationRecord, leaving the envelope
without a consumer.

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

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

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

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

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

* test(chathistory): cover the conversation HTTP handlers

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

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

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

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

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

The server is now authoritative over deletions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

master's createNewChat sets localaiAssistant, but serializeChat did not

round-trips all of them, and the UI spec checks the toggle on the way up
and in the local cache.

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

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

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

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

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

- "clear all persists before navigation" opened a single chat, and the menu

  now opens two unsynced chats and checks that neither survives. Reverting
  03cd9c115's save in clearAllChats turns it red again.
- "a delete the server confirmed is not sent again" reopened the page as
  soon as the server had the request, before the page had the answer; the
  unconfirmed delete was then rightly sent again (4 of 5 runs). It now waits
  until the cache holds no pending delete.

reasoningEffort (#12700, #12716) is part of the chat the UI syncs since the

dropped it and a reload from the server reset the setting. Add the field.

The handler spec that round-trips every chat field now includes
reasoningEffort. A schema test reads serializeChat in useChat.js and fails
for any key the UI sends that schema.Conversation cannot hold, so the next
such drift shows up as a failing test rather than in review (it reports
reasoningEffort on the previous head). Swagger and docs updated.

Stefan Walcz e3341d21a0 feat(pii): extend a detection over the previous word (extend_to_previous_word)
The mirror of extend_to_next_word. A name model often tags the surname with
high confidence and scores the first name in front of it below min_score,
so "Gast Greta Waldmeister" became "Gast Greta [REDACTED:ner:LASTNAME]".

extend_to_previous_word lists entity groups whose accepted detections also
cover the word directly before them on the same line. The preceding word
must consist of letters (plus '-' and the apostrophe): a word with digits -
an amount, a date, a room number - is never taken, nor is a protected term,
and the search never crosses a line break.

Stefan Walcz e16b9d04cc feat(pii): protected terms that pass the NER filter unchanged
A name model reads many business names as surnames. Measured with
privacy-filter-multilingual on 24 synthetic German receipts and
invoices: the supplier name ("Hotel Seeblick", "Café Lindenhof", ...)
was masked as LASTNAME (0.78-0.98) or FIRSTNAME in 9 of 12 receipts
that carried one. The supplier is exactly what the upstream model needs
to categorise a receipt, and no score floor helps at those confidences.

pii_detection.protected_terms (inline) and
pii_detection.protected_terms_files (files inside the models path, one
term per line, '#' comments, re-read when size or mtime change) list
values that must pass unchanged. Each whole-word, case-insensitive
occurrence is replaced by a neutral placeholder before the detector
runs; every detection is mapped back onto the original text with the
placeholder parts cut out, so a protected term is never masked or
blocked, the detector never sees it as context, and event offsets keep
addressing the original text. A word extension (extend_to_next_word)
is dropped rather than run into a protected term.

Terms shorter than three characters are ignored. A missing or
unreadable file is logged and skipped: fewer protected terms means more
masking, never less. Paths are verified to stay inside the models path.

Opt-in, empty by default. Covered by Ginkgo specs in
core/services/routing/pii/protected_test.go (detector-visible text,
exact restoration, straddling detections, whole-word/case/line-wrap
matching, the segment path, file loading and reload), a YAML round-trip
spec, registry entries and the middleware/model-configuration docs.

Stefan Walcz 9b13408c94 feat(pii): extend a detection over the next word (extend_to_next_word)
Address models tend to tag a postal code with high confidence but miss
or under-score the town right after it. Measured with
privacy-filter-multilingual on 24 synthetic German invoices: the postal
code was masked every time, while the town after it stayed in the clear
in 6 of 18 cases (4 not detected at all, 2 tagged CITY at 0.43/0.47,
below the configured floor). Masking the code alone leaves the pair half
redacted: "[REDACTED:ner:ZIPCODE] Ludwigshafen".

pii_detection.extend_to_next_word lists entity groups whose accepted
detections also cover the word that directly follows them on the same
line, with the same action and group. Horizontal whitespace is skipped,
a line break ends the search, and nothing is extended when no word
follows, so a hit never grows over bare whitespace or onto the next
line (or across the segment separator on the multi-message path).

The option is opt-in and empty by default; existing detector configs
behave exactly as before. Covered by Ginkgo specs in

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 217038d4fe fix(agents): share the collection list across frontends (#12536)
With the PostgreSQL vector engine, each frontend kept the collections it
had opened in an in-memory map and answered "collection not found" for
any other. A collection created through one frontend was unknown to the
others until they restarted, and each frontend listed a different set.

Wrap the in-process collections backend in distributed mode so that the
database is the source of truth:

- lists come from the registry,
- a lookup miss checks the registry before it returns 404, and opens a
  collection that exists there (once per name, even under concurrency),
- a cached collection that left the registry is dropped and closed, with
  a re-check at most every 5 seconds,
- create and reset publish an event on the existing collection
  invalidation subject, so other frontends re-check at once.

Without the postgres engine, or outside distributed mode, nothing changes.

Preserve text wire limits while admitting bounded PNG/JPEG decision input. Share collection and header validation across internal and public callers and keep the native runner response budget independent.

Assisted-by: OpenAI:API-assistant

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

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

Assisted-by: OpenAI:API-assistant

* fix(router): classify images before media fetching

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

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

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

* fix(router): bound extraction before serialization

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

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

* fix(router): bound supported probe serialization

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

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

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

* feat(decisions): enable bounded OpenJev images

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

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

* fix(decisions): reject incomplete image streams

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

Winner-only and cache-miss checks could hide dropped history or cache use.

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

* test(decisions): isolate fixture globals

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

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

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

* fix(application): honor optional telemetry controls

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

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

* feat(messaging): add Broadcaster and enforce subject rules in every carrier

Broadcaster is the fan-out half of MessagingClient. The NATS client and
the in-memory FakeBus now refuse a subject outside the served roots and any
wildcard other than a whole single token, and FakeBus shares MatchSubject
instead of its own copy. FakeBus Unsubscribe now removes its own
subscription instead of the first one with the same subject.

A shared conformance suite in messagingtest runs against both carriers.
The distributed e2e specs that used invented test.* subjects, and the one
that subscribed with a > filter, now use subjects from subjects.go.

* refactor: depend on Broadcaster where only publish and subscribe are used

Narrowed to messaging.Broadcaster: nodes/staging_progress.go,
nodes/install_progress_publisher.go, galleryop/operation.go,
galleryop/service.go, agentpool/user_services.go, agentpool/agent_jobs.go,
openresponses/store.go, openresponses/sync.go, syncstate/syncstate.go,
finetune/service.go, quantization/service.go and
failover/distsync/distsync.go. SubscribeJSON now takes a Broadcaster
because it only calls Subscribe, which lets the narrowed consumers use it.

Stayed wide: worker/supervisor.go, because its client field also serves
the SubscribeReply handlers in worker/lifecycle.go. The request/reply,
queue and wiring files (nodes/unloader.go, nodes/file_stager_s3.go,
jobs/dispatcher.go, agents/dispatcher.go, agents/events.go,
worker/file_staging.go, cli/agent_worker.go, http/app.go) are unchanged by

* fix(agent-worker): refuse an unserved LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT at startup

The messaging client now refuses a subject whose root no carrier serves.
An agent worker started with a custom LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT such as
tenant-a.agent.execute used to start and then wait on a subject the
frontend never publishes to. After the subject rules landed it exited
at subscribe time with an error that did not name the setting.

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

* test(nodes): pin the reactions to ErrNoRoute

Three callers react to ErrNoRoute and had no spec: the reconciler's
upgrade drain falls back to the legacy forced install, the reconciler
marks the node unhealthy when a pending op has no route, and the
backend-op fan-out marks the node unhealthy. Each spec drives the real
caller with a scripted no-responders reply and reads the result from
the registry or the recorded requests.

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

* test(messaging): pin client subject checks and fail the carrier suite in CI

Add specs that call Publish, Request, Subscribe, QueueSubscribe,
SubscribeReply and QueueSubscribeReply on a client with no connection.
Each call must return ErrUnservedSubject for bogus.thing and
ErrUnsupportedWildcard for jobs.>. This proves that the subject check
runs before the connection is used, and needs no server.

The NATS conformance suite is the only check that runs the subject rules
against a real carrier. Before this change it skipped without output
when Docker was missing. Now it fails when CI is set, so a Linux runner
without Docker cannot hide it. It still skips on local runs and on macOS
CI, which has no Docker.

Add SubjectNodeBackendInstallProgress to the list of constructors that
must build served subjects, and ask contributors to extend the list.

* docs: state what ErrNoRoute may change, and group the distributed guides

The seams note said MarkUnhealthy was the only state change allowed
on ErrNoRoute. A pending backend op still records the failed attempt,
counts toward the reconciler's retry limit and is dead-lettered after
the maximum attempts. The note now says that MarkUnhealthy is the only
change to the node's own state, and that the per-op accounting is not
a verdict about the node.

The note also documents that the NATS conformance run fails under CI
when Docker is missing. The distributed-seams row moves next to the
distributed-state row in the topics table. The liveness ping spec
header now says no route is a reason to skip the worker, not proof
that the worker is gone.

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.

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.

SubjectJobCancelWildcard lost its last subscriber when the frontend

decodeBackendStopRequest returned a stopAll flag that production dropped
and only a test read. decodeBackendStop is now the single decoder with the

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

Record controlHandler's undecodable return as a kept exception, and add the
second carrier notes to the developer note: the reconciler has no
ClientFactory option, the logs proxy honours HTTP_PROXY, verbs one carrier
serves need an opt-out, terminal replies come from the result event, and
agent runs publish through the NATS-bound EventBridge, which is not an
additive change.

Richard Palethorpe d10374f849 feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus (#10652)
* feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus

Add `classifier: knn` — similarity-weighted voting over labelled
example prompts. Unlike score/colbert it needs no classifier model:
label knowledge lives in a corpus seeded and curated through the
admin API, so routing decisions are deterministic, auditable, and
grounded in graded experience rather than a model's opinion.

Epistemic gate: corpus entries below knn.similarity_threshold cannot
vote; when none clears it the classifier activates no labels and the
router uses the fallback — a prompt unlike all labelled experience is
treated as undecidable, not guessed. Decisions record
nearest_similarity (also on fallback rows) so admins can see how far
the nearest labelled experience was; the Routing tab explains
out-of-corpus fallbacks and shows per-label corpus counts.

Persistence: one JSONL file per router under
<data path>/router-corpus (text, labels, vector, embedder
fingerprint). The file is the source of truth; the local-store index
is rebuilt from it at classifier build time and stays a pure
in-memory index. Entries recorded under a different embedding model
re-embed on load. Also corrects the docs' false claim that
local-store collections persist — the embedding cache never survived
restarts (and still doesn't); the corpus does.

Corpus input is API-only by design (entries may contain example user
content): POST /api/router/{name}/corpus seeds (labels validated
against declared policies, embedded server-side, indexed
immediately), GET .../corpus/stats inspects — label counts only,
entry texts are never returned by any surface — DELETE .../corpus
wipes. Admin-gated like the sibling router endpoints, and exposed as
MCP tools (seed_router_corpus / get_router_corpus_stats /
clear_router_corpus) in both the httpapi and inproc clients with
coverage-test route mappings.

Plumbing: VectorStore gains SearchK (top-K was hardcoded to 1);
local-store gets InsertBatch/Delete as optional fast paths;
RouterConfig gains a knn block (embedding_model, k,
similarity_threshold, vote_threshold, store_name) with meta-registry
fields; the classifier dropdown now offers knn and the
previously-missing colbert; embedding_cache is ignored (with a
warning) for knn — it IS an embedding-KNN lookup; the stale
/api/instructions intelligent-routing entry is rewritten (it
described a classifier that no longer exists); swagger regenerated.

Tests: KNN vote/gate specs with hand-computed vote shares, corpus
manager suite (restart reload without re-embedding, fingerprint
re-embed, dedupe, hostile store names), middleware specs (corpus
routing, gate fallback, config validation, cache-wrap refusal),
corpus endpoint specs pinning the texts-never-returned contract, MCP
catalog + route-mapping gates, and a Playwright spec for corpus
stats and the out-of-corpus decision detail.

* feat(router): name consulted corpus neighbours in knn decisions

Every knn decision (decision log rows and the /api/router/decide
response) now carries neighbors: the K retrieved corpus entries by
descending similarity - including ones below the epistemic gate, which
is what makes fallback decisions diagnosable - each as {id, similarity,
labels}. The id is the entry's content hash (first 8 bytes of the
SHA-256 of its text, hex): stable across reseeds and re-embeds, and
text-free, so an external platform that seeded the corpus can recompute
text->id on its own copy and bucket decisions by corpus region (per-
region reliability accounting) without corpus text ever leaving the
server. A corrupt index payload surfaces as an id-less neighbour at a
real similarity instead of disappearing.

* refactor(router): deduplicate knn plumbing and cut corpus hot-path waste

Post-review cleanup of the knn-first-class-router branch; no behaviour
changes on the API surface.

Reuse/altitude:
- RouterKNNConfig.ResolvedStoreName is now the single source of the
  router-corpus-<name> default (was hand-derived in four files).
- corpus.ResolveKNNRouter + corpus.Seed carry the shared model
  resolution and seed validation; the REST endpoints and the assistant
  MCP client are thin transport adapters over them, with sentinel
  errors mapped to HTTP statuses at the echo boundary.
- middleware.NewClassifierDeps assembles the classifier dependency set
  once for all five entry points (OpenAI, Anthropic, realtime, decide,
  corpus) instead of five hand-copied literals.
- router.AllClassifiers feeds both the status endpoint and the
  unknown-classifier error, ending the classifier-list drift.
- Per-classifier requirements moved out of validateRouterPolicies into
  their buildClassifier arms; the knn arm owns its embedding_cache
  opt-out instead of a name-check in the shared wrap tail.
- adminOnly replaces four inline copies of the admin gate in the
  middleware routes.
- localVectorStore.Search delegates to SearchK (identical traces).

Efficiency:
- Manager.Add embeds outside the manager mutex and appends to the
  JSONL file (O(new) instead of O(corpus) rewrite); a torn tail from a
  crash mid-append is tolerated on read and repaired on next write.
- Stats memoises per store keyed on the file's stat fingerprint and no
  longer takes the manager mutex, so the 5s status poll stops parsing
  vector-laden JSONL and stops blocking behind seeds.
- KNN Classify decodes each neighbour payload once (was twice) and
  builds refs and votes in a single pass with one fallback return.
- Corpus file writes fsync before rename/close.
- The corpus manager is built eagerly in newApplication (sync.Once
  dropped); test helper dead branch removed.

* chore(middleware): name the failing fields when post-merge validation 400s

An intermittent post-merge validation failure surfaced as an opaque 400
during integration (pooling scheme mismatch that no client had sent).
Log the model, the request's pooling override, and the merged config's
pooling fields at the failure point so the next occurrence identifies
whether the request or the stored config carried the bad value.

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

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

localai-org-maint-botandDaria Korenieva 9bfd71387b feat(stores): add Valkey Search vector store backend (#11196)
* feat: add Valkey Search vector store backend

Add a new built-in Go gRPC store backend 'valkey-store' that implements the
four Stores RPCs (Set/Get/Delete/Find) against the Valkey Search module (FT.*)
using the pure-Go github.com/valkey-io/valkey-go client. It is selected via the
existing per-request 'backend' field on /stores, so there is no proto or HTTP
API change, and it mirrors the in-memory local-store while adding persistence
across restarts and opt-in HNSW.

Each vector is a Valkey HASH keyed by hex(little-endian float32); the index is
created lazily on first Set (FLAT+COSINE by default), cosine similarity is
derived as 1-distance, and namespaces get a collision-resistant token. Includes
unit tests (valkey-go mock) and env-gated integration tests against
valkey/valkey-bundle, plus build/matrix/gallery wiring and docs.

* Address review feedback: recover persisted index dimension, harden Find

- Load now recovers the persisted vector DIM from FT.INFO (not just index
  existence), so a post-restart Set/Find validates against the real DIM
  instead of silently re-learning a wrong one and dropping mismatched
  vectors from the index. This also restores Find's dimension check after
  a restart.
- StoresFind treats a dropped/missing index as an empty store (empty
  result, no error) and clears the stale indexCreated flag, matching
  local-store's empty-store behaviour.
- StoresSet reuses checkDims for its per-key length check so the four RPCs
  share one dimension-guard implementation.
- Add unit tests for FT.INFO dimension recovery, loadIndexState, and the
  dropped-index Find path.

* Address review feedback: TLS ServerName/CA, Find nil-check, config fail-fast

Addresses external review comments on the valkey-store backend:

- StoresFind now rejects a nil/empty query Key before dereferencing it,
  so a malformed gRPC request can no longer panic the backend.
- TLS: derive ServerName (SNI) from the VALKEY_ADDR host so certificate
  verification works for IP-addressed endpoints, and add VALKEY_TLS_CA_CERT
  (custom CA bundle) and VALKEY_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY (testing-only) knobs.
- Config integer parsing now fails fast on a malformed value (e.g.
  VALKEY_HNSW_M=1x6) instead of silently defaulting, matching the
  fail-fast behaviour of the index-algo/distance-metric validation.
- Add VALKEY_DB (SELECT n) support for logical-DB isolation.
- Cap the human-readable part of a namespace token at 64 chars so a very
  long model name cannot produce an unbounded key prefix / index name
  (the appended short hash keeps distinct namespaces collision-free).
- Document the KNN-query injection-safety invariant (fields are constants)
  and why StoresGet uses a single aggregate DoMulti deadline for reads.
- Unit tests for the Find nil/empty-key guard, fail-fast HNSW parsing,
  and VALKEY_DB parsing/validation; docs + .env updated for the new vars.

* Address review feedback: configure valkey-store via model config

richiejp asked that the valkey-store backend take its configuration from
a model config rather than process-wide VALKEY_* environment variables,
so multiple stores can each have their own Valkey config within one
LocalAI process. This removes every env access from the backend and
routes config through the model-config seam every other backend uses.

- config.go: loadConfig(opts *pb.ModelOptions) now parses the model
  config `options:` list (key:value strings, split on the first ':')
  instead of os.Getenv. Option keys mirror the old VALKEY_* names without
  the prefix (addr, index_algo, distance_metric, ...). Defaults, fail-fast
  validation and the mandatory client name are unchanged.
- store.go: Load threads opts into loadConfig; TLS comments/errors renamed
  off the VALKEY_* names.
- core/backend/stores.go: StoreBackend and NewVectorStore take a
  *config.ModelConfigLoader, resolve the per-store ModelConfig by store
  name, and pass its Options (and Backend when unset) to the backend via
  WithLoadGRPCLoadModelOpts. No config -> default backend + built-in
  defaults, preserving the zero-config experience.
- Endpoints/routes/application: thread the config loader to StoreBackend.
- Unit + integration tests: configure via options; the integration test
  passes addr through the model-config path (VALKEY_ADDR is now only the
  test harness locating the server).
- docs + .env: document the model-config options, drop the env var table.

* fix: correct rebase artifacts in backend-matrix.yml and Makefile Fix two issues introduced by the conflict-resolution script during the rebase onto master: 1. .github/backend-matrix.yml: valkey-store entries were merged INTO the cloud-proxy entries (duplicate keys in same YAML map items) instead of being separate list items. This broke cloud-proxy Linux builds and the cloud-proxy darwin entry lost its build-type/lang. Fixed by making them standalone entries and restoring cloud-proxy exactly as on master. 2. Makefile: duplicated .NOTPARALLEL and docker-build-backends lines. Collapsed to single lines that are master's current content plus the valkey-store additions. Also adds the three optional pickups from #10801: - /valkey-store in .gitignore (the built binary) - valkey-store row in docs/content/reference/compatibility-table.md - valkey-store line in backend/README.md

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 65bdbc4ee3 fix(http): make /readyz reflect startup readiness, plus gitignore and coverage-ratchet fixes (#10989)
* fix(http): make /readyz reflect startup readiness instead of always 200

/readyz was registered as a static handler returning 200 unconditionally,
so it carried no information: it was green whenever it could be reached at
all. Readiness could not distinguish "serving" from "still starting", and
any future change that started the HTTP listener earlier would silently
turn the probe into a lie.

Track startup completion on the Application (atomic flag, flipped at the
very end of New() on the success path only) and have the readiness handler
consult it per request, returning 503 with a small JSON body while startup
is in progress. A nil readiness source fails open so embedders keep the
historical behaviour.

/healthz is deliberately left readiness-independent. Liveness and readiness
answer different questions, and failing liveness during a long preload makes
an orchestrator restart the pod mid-download so the preload never finishes.

This matters because since #10949 the startup preload materializes
HuggingFace artifacts for managed backends: tens of GB for a large model
(31 GB observed on a live cluster). Both probes stay in quietPaths and stay
exempt from auth.

Note the listener is still started only after New() returns, so today the
not-ready state is not observable over HTTP. Moving the listener earlier is
a separate, deliberate decision and is not made here.

* chore(gitignore): anchor the mock-backend pattern so its source dir is traversable

The bare `mock-backend` pattern matched the *directory*
tests/e2e/mock-backend/, not just the binary built into it. Git will not
descend into an ignored directory even for tracked files, so
`git add tests/e2e/mock-backend/main.go` required -f. This was hit while
working on #10970.

Anchor it to the artifact's full path. The built binary stays ignored (it is
also covered by tests/e2e/mock-backend/.gitignore) while the source directory
becomes traversable again.

Verified with `git check-ignore -v`: a new source file under
tests/e2e/mock-backend/ is no longer ignored, and the binary produced by
`make build-mock-backend` still is.

* chore(coverage): raise the coverage ratchet from 48.5% to 54.2%

The committed baseline had drifted well below reality: it still read 48.5%
while a full instrumented run measures 54.2%. A stale-low baseline makes the
gate meaningless — coverage could regress by more than 5 percentage points
and still pass.

Raising a ratchet is a deliberate act, not something to fold into an
unrelated fix, so it gets its own commit. The headroom was earned by tests
landed in #10946, #10947, #10948, #10949, #10956, #10967, #10968, #10970 and
#10975.

Measured with `make test-coverage` on this branch (the same instrumented run
`make test-coverage-baseline` uses: ginkgo over ./pkg and ./core plus the
in-process tests/e2e suite, --covermode=atomic, --coverpkg over core/... and
pkg/..., generated protobuf excluded). The run completed with exit 0 and zero
spec failures; the total was then written with the exact command the
test-coverage-baseline target uses:

  go tool cover -func=coverage/coverage.out \
    | awk '/^total:/{gsub(/%/,"",$NF); print $NF}' > coverage-baseline.txt

Verified afterwards with scripts/coverage-check.sh, which reports OK.

Note the measured figure includes the readiness specs added earlier on this
branch, so it is a demonstrated floor rather than an estimate.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 97175f4b5a feat(model): debounce model loads after a failure to stop retry-storms (#10728)
A client that keeps polling a model whose load fails (e.g. a backend that
crashes deterministically on init) triggered a fresh backend start on
every request: request -> load -> crash in ~10s -> 500, repeat on the
next poll. Each attempt could leak GPU/CUDA state, and under
LOCALAI_SINGLE_ACTIVE_BACKEND it kept stealing the active slot from
healthy models. The existing loading-coalesce map only dedups
*concurrent* loads, so sequential polls were never covered.

Track load failures per modelID in ModelLoader. After a load fails,
refuse fresh load triggers for that model until a cooldown elapses,
returning a typed ModelLoadCooldownError that the HTTP layer maps to 503
with a Retry-After header. The cooldown grows exponentially per
consecutive failure (base, doubling, capped at 5m) and resets on a
successful load. The coalesced follower-retry of an in-flight burst
bypasses the gate, so a genuinely concurrent burst still gets its one
retry -- only new, independent triggers are refused, matching the
report's "refuse new load-triggers" wording.

Configurable via --model-load-failure-cooldown /
LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_FAILURE_COOLDOWN (default 10s, 0 disables), plumbed
through ApplicationConfig and applied unconditionally at startup.

Closes #10719

Richard Palethorpe 5d0c43ec6e feat(realtime): Semantic VAD EOU token (#10444)
* feat(realtime): EOU-driven semantic_vad turn detection

Add a `semantic_vad` turn-detection mode to the realtime API that feeds
the transcription model live and decides "the user finished speaking"
from the `<EOU>` end-of-utterance token rather than from silence alone.
When EOU fires the turn commits immediately (~0.3s); otherwise it falls
back to an eagerness-scaled silence threshold (low/med/high = 8/4/2s).

Plumbing, bottom to top:

- proto: `AudioTranscriptionLive` bidirectional RPC (config-first oneof,
  mono float PCM @16k, ready-ack / Unimplemented degrade signal) plus
  `TranscriptResult.eou` for the unary retranscribe gate.
- pkg/grpc: client/server/base/embed scaffolding for the bidi stream,
  modeled on AudioTransformStream; release stream conns on terminal Recv.
- parakeet-cpp: live transcription RPC with per-C-call engine locking
  (one live stream per turn, finalize+free at commit); bump parakeet.cpp
  to ABI v5 — incremental StreamingMel (no more quadratic per-feed mel
  recompute that delayed EOU on long turns) and the <EOU>/<EOB> split;
  strip the literal <EOU>/<EOB> from offline text and set Eou.
- core/backend: LiveTranscriptionSession wrapper + pipeline
  `turn_detection:` config block (type/eagerness/retranscribe).
- realtime: semantic_vad integration — live input captions streamed as
  transcription deltas while the user speaks, EOU-immediate commit with
  eagerness fallback, optional retranscribe gate (batch re-decode must
  also end in <EOU> to confirm), clause synthesis off the LLM token
  callback, and per-turn live-transcription / model_load telemetry.
- UI: show the realtime pipeline components as a vertical list.

Docs and tests included; opt-in via the pipeline YAML or per-session
`session.update`. Non-streaming STT backends degrade to silence-only.

* feat(realtime): explicit formally-verified state machines + parakeet streaming driver

The realtime API had several implicit state machines whose state was inferred
from scattered booleans, channels, and five separate mutexes, leaving
illegal/inconsistent states reachable. Make them explicit and keep the
implementation in step with a formal design; rework the parakeet streaming
backend along the same lines.

Realtime state machines (M1-M5). Each is a sealed sum-type State/Event/Effect
with a total, pure Next(state,event)->(state,[]effect) behind a single-writer
Coordinator:

  M1 conncoord    connection lifecycle: VAD toggle + once-only teardown
                  (replaces vadServerStarted + a `done` channel closed from
                  two sites).
  M2 turncoord    turn detection: collapses speechStarted and the live-stream
                  "turn open" flag into one state, so discardTurn can no longer
                  desync them and suppress the next onset.
  M3 respcoord    response coordination: serializes the dual-writer
                  start/cancel so at most one response is live; one
                  response.done per response.create.
  M4 compactcoord conversation compaction: single-flight (replaces the
                  `compacting atomic.Bool` CAS).
  M5 ttscoord     TTS pipeline: open->closing->closed, idempotent wait(),
                  rejects enqueue-after-close (was a silent drop).

The Coordinator/Sink/Next plumbing — only the sealed types and Next differed
per machine — is extracted once into core/http/endpoints/openai/coordinator as
a generic Coordinator[S,E,F]; each machine keeps its public API via type
aliases, so no sink, call-site, or test moved.

Hierarchy. session_lifecycle.fizz models M1 as the parent region with its
children (M2/M3/M4) as one statechart and asserts ChildrenDieWithParent (conn
torn => all children terminal, none start after teardown). respcoord and
compactcoord gain an absorbing Terminated state + Shutdown event; conncoord's
teardown drives the children terminal. This closes a compaction teardown gap: a
fire-and-forget compaction could outlive a torn session — compactionSink now
takes a session-scoped cancellable context + WaitGroup and joins the in-flight
summarize+evict on shutdown.

Formal verification. formal-verification/ holds one authoritative FizzBee spec
per machine plus the composition spec, each with an always-assertion and a
documented one-line edit that makes the checker fail (verified non-vacuous).
scripts/realtime-conformance.sh is fail-closed: all Go conformance suites under
-race AND a model-check of every .fizz spec; a missing FizzBee is a hard error
(only the loud REALTIME_CONFORMANCE_SKIP_FIZZBEE=1 bypasses it, never in CI).
FizzBee is pinned by sha256 and installed via scripts/install-fizzbee.sh into
.tools/ (gitignored). Wired as make test-realtime-conformance, a CI workflow,
and a pre-commit path filter. Go conformance tests are Ginkgo/Gomega (per the
repo's forbidigo lint): transition tables + fixed-seed property walks +
concurrent/-race specs, no rapid dependency. Design map:
docs/design/realtime-state-machines.md.

Parakeet streaming backend. The same treatment applied to the parakeet-cpp
streaming paths:
- AudioTranscriptionStream returns codes.Unimplemented for non-streaming models
  instead of decoding offline and emitting it as one delta + final. A client
  that asked for streaming learns the model cannot stream rather than receiving
  a batch result shaped like a stream. New grpcerrors.StreamTranscriptionUnsupported
  carries that signal; the HTTP /v1/audio/transcriptions stream path surfaces it
  as an SSE error event. Mirrors AudioTranscriptionLive, which already did this.
- utteranceBoundary (boundary.go): a single definition of the end-of-utterance
  latch, replacing three open-coded finalEou toggles. Modelled as a two-valued
  type so illegal states are unrepresentable.
- Shared decode driver (driver.go): streamFeedResult (one per-feed event) +
  feedChunk (hides the ABI v4 JSON vs text-only split) + feedSlices + flushTail.
  The feed loop is written once.
- AudioTranscriptionLive becomes a bidi adapter: it streams the per-feed
  {delta,eou,eob,words} the realtime turn detector consumes and a terminal
  FinalResult carrying only Text. Segments/duration/eou are offline-only and no
  longer produced (nor read) on the live path; liveTraceState drops the terminal
  eou and keeps the per-feed eou_events count.
- AudioTranscriptionStream + streamJSON merge into one driver-based function;
  streamSegmenter is generalized to the unified event with a text-only fallback
  that preserves the legacy (no-words) library's per-utterance segmentation.

Verified: build/vet/gofumpt clean, golangci-lint 0 issues, all coordinator and
parakeet packages under -race, the fail-closed conformance gate green, and
make test-realtime (12 e2e WS+WebRTC).

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto d7d7721eae feat(distributed): SyncedMap component + migrate finetune/quant/agent-tasks to cross-replica state (#10542)
* feat(distributed): add SyncedMap cross-replica in-memory state component

Introduce core/services/syncstate.SyncedMap[K,V]: a thread-safe in-memory map
that keeps itself consistent across frontend replicas via NATS, with an optional
pluggable durable Store and hydrate-from-source convergence.

Several features keep process-local state surfaced to the API (finetune/quant
jobs, agent tasks, model configs) and each hand-wired the same in-memory + NATS
broadcast + read-through-store legs - or forgot to, reintroducing cross-replica
staleness. SyncedMap makes that consistency a configuration choice:

- local writes mutate the map, write through the Store, then broadcast a delta;
- the apply path is memory-only and never re-publishes or re-writes the Store
  (structural echo-loop guard, mirroring galleryop.mergeStatus);
- on Start and on NATS reconnect the map re-hydrates from the source (Store, else
  Loader); an optional periodic Reconcile repairs silent drift;
- standalone mode (nil NATS client) is a strict in-memory no-op.

Reconnect re-hydrate is wired via a new *messaging.Client.OnReconnect callback,
consumed through an optional type-assertion so MessagingClient stays minimal.
Adds messaging.SubjectSyncStateDelta and a reusable testutil.FakeBus (synchronous
in-process MessagingClient with wildcard matching) for adopter tests.

Component only; service migrations follow in subsequent commits.

* refactor(finetune): back jobs with SyncedMap for cross-replica consistency

FineTuneService kept jobs in a process-local map and, although it wrote them to
Postgres, ListJobs/GetJob never read the store back and the wired natsClient was
never used - so in distributed mode a job created on one replica was invisible to
the others. Replace the map and the dead client with a syncstate.SyncedMap keyed
by job ID, value *schema.FineTuneJob (the exact REST shape, so responses are
unchanged).

- Add a Store adapter (core/services/finetune/syncstore.go) over FineTuneStore,
  plus FineTuneStore.ListAll (global hydrate; per-user List kept) and an
  idempotent Upsert (create-or-update; Create alone fails on dup key).
- Writes go through SyncedMap.Set/Delete (write-through + broadcast); reads use
  List/Get. The on-disk state.json path becomes the standalone Loader, keeping
  single-node restart recovery (stale->stopped / exporting->failed fixups).
- Fold SetNATSClient/SetFineTuneStore into NewFineTuneService; app.go passes the
  distributed NATS client + store when distributed, nil otherwise.

* refactor(agentpool): back agent tasks with SyncedMap for cross-replica consistency

AgentJobService.ListTasks read the process-local tasks map only, while ListJobs
already read through the DB persister + dispatcher NATS - so in distributed mode
a task created on one replica was invisible to the others. Back tasks with a
syncstate.SyncedMap keyed by task ID (value schema.Task, the exact REST shape);
jobs are left untouched.

- Store adapter (task_syncstore.go) over the existing JobPersister
  (LoadTasks/SaveTask/DeleteTask); reads svc.persister/userID live so a persister
  swap needs no rebuild. No new persister methods required.
- Task reads -> SyncedMap.List/Get; create/update -> Set (write-through +
  broadcast); delete -> Delete. The file persister now owns its own task set so
  the write-through path does not re-enter the SyncedMap lock (deadlock guard).
- The distributed NATS client is not available at construction (start() precedes
  initDistributed), so it is injected via SetTaskSyncNATS, which rebuilds the
  still-empty map before Start/hydrate. Wired at the main, restart, and per-user
  (UserServicesManager) distributed sites.

* refactor(quantization): back jobs with SyncedMap + durable QuantStore

QuantizationService kept jobs in a process-local map persisted only to a local
state.json, so in distributed mode jobs were neither visible across replicas nor
durable cluster-wide. Back jobs with a syncstate.SyncedMap keyed by job ID
(value *schema.QuantizationJob, the exact REST shape).

- New distributed.QuantStore (GORM, table quantization_jobs) mirroring
  FineTuneStore: Create/Get/ListAll/Upsert(idempotent)/Delete, registered for
  AutoMigrate via distributed.InitStores (Stores.Quant).
- New adapter (quantization/syncstore.go) over QuantStore implementing
  syncstate.Store, with record<->schema conversion.
- Reads go through List/Get, writes through Set/Delete (write-through +
  broadcast); state.json is kept as the standalone Loader for single-node restart
  recovery (stale-job fixups preserved).
- app.go passes the distributed NATS client + QuantStore when distributed, nil
  otherwise; Start/Close lifecycle mirrors finetune.

* fix(syncstate): annotate gosec G118 false positive on lifeCtx

gosec flagged the WithCancel in Start as "cancellation function not called"
because the returned cancel is stored on the struct rather than called/deferred
in scope. It is invoked in Close (covered by tests), and lifeCtx must outlive
Start to drive the reconnect/reconcile goroutines. Suppress the verified false
positive with a justified #nosec G118.

* test(distributed): e2e two-replica SyncedMap sync over real NATS + Postgres

Adds the real-infrastructure counterpart to the fake-bus unit tests, in the
existing distributed e2e suite (testcontainers NATS + PostgreSQL). Two SyncedMap
instances stand in for two frontend replicas - each with its OWN NATS connection
to a shared server and a SHARED Postgres store (the distributed-mode invariant) -
and assert, over the wire:

- a create on replica A is observed by replica B;
- an update and a delete propagate A -> B (delete prunes, which a reload cannot);
- a late-joining replica recovers a job it never received a delta for, via store
  hydrate on Start (the at-most-once gap a fake bus cannot exercise);
- a local Set is written through to the shared Postgres store.

Richard Palethorpe 63bcbf6c12 fix(pii): post-merge review fixes + live NER e2e for the privacy-filter tier (#10401)
* fix(pii): post-merge review fixes + live NER e2e for the privacy-filter tier

Follow-up to the NER tier engine (#10360), already on master. This carries
only the incremental review fixes and tests that postdate that merge — the
feature itself is not re-introduced.

Review fixes:
- openai_completion.go: remove the dead `elem >= 0` conjunct in applyAnyText
  (the `elem < 0` guard above already returns).
- application.go: collapse ResolvePIIPolicy's inline re-implementation of
  PIIIsEnabled to a single cfg.PIIIsEnabled() call (sole source of the
  "explicit pii.enabled wins, else cloud-proxy default" rule) and return true
  past the !enabled guard where it is provable.
- pattern.go: hoist the triple `appConfig != nil && EnableTracing` check in
  patternDetector.Detect into one local.
- grammar.go: MaxQuantifier was 4096, but Go's regexp/syntax rejects repeat
  bounds above 1000 at Parse time, so walk()'s {n,m} guard could never fire —
  dead code shadowed by the parser. Lower it to 512 so a bound in (512,1000]
  is rejected here with an actionable error; >1000 still fails closed via
  Parse. Specs pin the relationship so the guard can't silently revert.
- PatternListEditor.jsx: clamp a directly-typed negative min_len to >=0 and
  force the DOM value back when clamping (min={0} only constrained the spinner,
  so a negative reached saved config and silently disabled the length filter).

Tests:
- piipattern_test.go: MaxQuantifier guard specs (must stay live, not dead).
- model-config.spec.js: assert the min_len clamp, and that entity_actions
  collapses a duplicate group to a single row (map semantics; regression guard
  against emitting an array that drops a row on save).
- tests/e2e-backends: token_classify capability driving the TokenClassify gRPC
  RPC against the backend image, asserting byte-correct, UTF-8 rune-aligned
  spans (entity.Text == text[start:end]) at threshold 0. Verified on CPU via
  `make test-extra-backend-privacy-filter` (3/3 specs).
- Makefile: test-extra-backend-privacy-filter wrapper.
- tests/e2e: e2e_pii_ner_test.go drives /api/pii/analyze + /api/pii/redact
  (mask + block) through the full HTTP -> detector -> redactor path; gated on
  PII_NER_MODEL_GGUF so the default suite is unaffected.
- .github/workflows/tests-pii-ner-e2e.yml: path-filtered / nightly CI job
  running the container harness on CPU.

* feat(gallery): add privacy-filter-nemotron (f16 + q8)

GGUF conversions of OpenMed/privacy-filter-nemotron — a fine-grained English
PII token-classifier (55 categories / 221 BIOES classes), fine-tuned from
openai/privacy-filter on NVIDIA's Nemotron-PII dataset. Sibling to the existing
privacy-filter-multilingual entry, trading language breadth for category depth.

- privacy-filter-nemotron: F16 reference artifact (~2.8 GB).
- privacy-filter-nemotron-q8: Q8_0 quant (~1.64 GB) for RAM-constrained / edge
  use; description notes the size/speed tradeoff and to validate on your own
  data (a single dropped span is a PII leak).

Both run on the privacy-filter backend with known_usecases [token_classify] and
a default mask policy (min_score 0.5); operators add per-category entity_actions
as needed. sha256s taken from the HF repo's LFS object ids.

Richard Palethorpe 3fa7b2955c feat(pii): NER tier engine — privacy-filter.cpp backend + NER-centric PII filter (#10360)
Squashed feat/pii-ner-tier-engine rebased onto master (was 45 commits; see
backup/pii-ner-tier-engine-prerebase). Net change:

- privacy-filter.cpp: standalone GGML engine for the openai-privacy-filter
  PII/NER token classifier, wired as a LocalAI gRPC backend (CPU/CUDA/Vulkan).
  TokenClassify moves off the patched llama.cpp path onto this backend.
- PII filter reworked to be NER-centric (encoder/NER detection tier scanning
  whole conversations as one document), with a recreated bounded restricted-
  regex secret-matching pattern detector tier alongside it (per-model
  pii_detection.builtins / .patterns + core/services/routing/piipattern).
- Detection labelled by source (ner vs pattern); backend trace / confidence /
  debug observability; analyze/redact exposed as a synchronous API.
- Instance-wide default detector policy + per-usecase default-on; request
  filtering extended to completions, embeddings, edits & Ollama.
- React UI: NER-centric PII editor, detector-models table, pattern/builtins
  editor, middleware default-policy UI.
- Gallery: privacy-filter-multilingual token-classify model + NER install
  filter; token_classify known_usecase; batch sized to context for NER models.
  privacy-filter backend registered in the backend gallery (cpu/vulkan/cuda-13
  meta + image entries with a capabilities map) matching its CI matrix jobs,
  and an /import-model auto-detect importer (PrivacyFilterImporter, narrow
  privacy-filter GGUF detection) replacing the prior pref-only registration.

Reconciled against master's independent evolution:

- Dropped master's PIIPatternOverrides feature (global-pattern runtime
  overrides + /api/pii/patterns API + runtime_settings.json persistence). The
  per-model NER + pattern-detector design supersedes it; it was built on the
  global redactor pattern set this branch replaced.
- Reverted the llama.cpp Score carry-patch (0006-server-task-type-score):
  removed the patch and restored master's grpc-server.cpp Score RPC (direct
  llama_decode, slot-loop bypass) and LLAMA_VERSION pin, plus master's
  model_config validation forbidding score + chat/completion/embeddings on
  llama-cpp. token_classify is unaffected (it runs on the privacy-filter
  backend, not llama-cpp).

Richard Palethorpe fbcd886a47 fix(application): stop backend processes synchronously on shutdown (#10058)
application.New wires a fire-and-forget goroutine that runs
StopAllGRPC + distributed.Shutdown when the app context is cancelled.
Callers (tests, CLI signal handler) cancel the context and then exit
immediately, so the test binary / process can terminate before that
goroutine kills the spawned backend children. go-processmanager sets no
Pdeathsig, so the orphans are reparented to init and survive — leaving
dozens of stray mock-backend processes after an e2e run.

Add Application.Shutdown(), which runs the same cleanup synchronously on
the caller's stack and is idempotent via sync.Once. The context-cancel
goroutine, the CLI signal handler, and the test suites all call it, so
cleanup is deterministic and the duplicated teardown logic collapses to
one place. The async goroutine remains as a safety net for callers that
forget; sync.Once dedupes the double call.

Wire e2e_suite_test and the two mock-backend Contexts in app_test to
call Shutdown in their AfterSuite/AfterEach.

* refactor(modeladmin): extract model-admin helpers into a service package

Lift the bodies of EditModelEndpoint, PatchConfigEndpoint,
ToggleStateModelEndpoint, TogglePinnedModelEndpoint and
VRAMEstimateEndpoint into core/services/modeladmin so the same logic can
be called by non-HTTP clients (notably the in-process MCP server that
backs the LocalAI Assistant chat modality, landing in a follow-up commit).

The HTTP handlers shrink to thin shells that parse echo inputs, call the
matching helper, map typed errors (ErrNotFound, ErrConflict,
ErrPathNotTrusted, ErrBadAction, ...) to the existing HTTP status codes,
and render the existing response shapes. No REST-surface behaviour change;
the existing localai endpoint tests cover the regression net.

Adds focused unit tests for each helper against tmp-dir-backed
ModelConfigLoader fixtures (deep-merge patch, rename + conflict, path
separator guard, toggle/pin enable/disable, sync callback).

* feat(assistant): LocalAI Assistant chat modality with in-memory MCP server

Adds a chat modality, admin-only, that wires the chat session to an
in-memory MCP server exposing LocalAI's own admin/management surface as
tools. An admin can install models, manage backends, edit configs and
check status by chatting; the LLM calls tools like gallery_search,
install_model, import_model_uri, list_installed_models, edit_model_config
and surfaces the results.

Same Go package powers two modes:

  pkg/mcp/localaitools/

    NewServer(client, opts) builds an MCP server that registers the
    19-tool admin catalog. The LocalAIClient interface has two impls:

    - inproc.Client — calls services directly (no HTTP loopback,
      no synthetic admin API key). Used in-process by the chat handler.
    - httpapi.Client — calls the LocalAI REST API. Used by the new
      `local-ai mcp-server --target=…` subcommand to control a remote
      LocalAI from a stdio MCP host.

    Tools and their embedded skill prompts are agnostic to which client
    backs them. Skill prompts are markdown files under prompts/, embedded
    via go:embed and assembled into the system prompt at server init.

Wiring:

  - core/http/endpoints/mcp/localai_assistant.go — process-wide holder
    that spins up the in-memory MCP server once at Application start
    using paired net.Pipe transports, then reuses LocalToolExecutor
    (no fork) for every chat request that opts in.

  - core/http/endpoints/openai/chat.go — small branch ahead of the
    existing MCP block: when metadata.localai_assistant=true,
    defense-in-depth admin check + executor swap + system-prompt
    injection. All downstream tool dispatch is unchanged.

  - core/http/auth/{permissions,features}.go — adds
    FeatureLocalAIAssistant; gating happens at the chat handler entry
    plus admin-only `/api/settings`.

  - core/cli/{run.go,cli.go,mcp_server.go} —
    LOCALAI_DISABLE_ASSISTANT flag (runtime-toggleable via Settings, no
    restart), plus `local-ai mcp-server` stdio subcommand.

  - core/config/runtime_settings.go — `localai_assistant_enabled`
    runtime setting; the chat handler reads `DisableLocalAIAssistant`
    live at request entry.

UI:

  - Home.jsx — prominent self-explanatory CTA card on first run
    ("Manage LocalAI by chatting"); collapses to a compact
    "Manage by chat" button in the quick-links row once used,
    persisted via localStorage.
  - Chat.jsx — admin-only "Manage" toggle in the chat header,
    "Manage mode" badge, dedicated empty-state copy, starter chips.
  - Settings.jsx — "LocalAI Assistant" section with the runtime
    enable toggle.
  - useChat.js — `localaiAssistant` flag on the chat schema; injects
    `metadata.localai_assistant=true` on requests when active.

Distributed mode: the in-memory MCP server lives only on the head node;
inproc.Client wraps already-distributed-aware services so installs
propagate to workers via the existing GalleryService machinery.

Documentation: `.agents/localai-assistant-mcp.md` is the contributor
contract — when adding an admin REST endpoint, also add a LocalAIClient
method, an inproc + httpapi impl, a tool registration, and a skill
prompt update; the AGENTS.md index links to it.

Out of scope (follow-ups): per-tool RBAC granularity for non-admin
read-only access; streaming mcp_tool_progress for long installs;
React Vitest rig for the UI changes.

* refactor(assistant): extract tool/capability/MiB/server-name constants

The MCP tool surface, capability tag set, server-name default, and the
chat-handler metadata key were repeated as bare string literals across
seven files. Renaming any one required hand-editing every call site and
risked code/test/prompt drift.

This pulls them into typed constants:

- pkg/mcp/localaitools/tools.go — Tool* constants for the 19 MCP tools,
  plus DefaultServerName.
- pkg/mcp/localaitools/capability.go — typed Capability + constants for
  the capability tag set the LLM passes to list_installed_models. The
  type rides through LocalAIClient.ListInstalledModels and replaces the
  triplet of "embed"/"embedding"/"embeddings" with the single
  CapabilityEmbeddings.
- pkg/mcp/localaitools/inproc/client.go — bytesPerMiB constant for the
  VRAMEstimate byte→MB conversion.
- core/http/endpoints/mcp/tools.go — MetadataKeyLocalAIAssistant for the
  "localai_assistant" request-metadata key consumed by the chat handler.

Tool registrations, the test catalog, the dispatch table, the validation
fixtures, and the fake/stub clients all reference the constants. The
embedded skill prompts under prompts/ keep their bare strings (go:embed
markdown can't import Go constants); the existing TestPromptsContain
SafetyAnchors guards the alignment.

No behaviour change. All tests pass with -race.

* refactor(modeladmin): typed Action for ToggleState/TogglePinned

The toggle/pin verbs were bare strings everywhere — handler signatures,
service implementations, MCP tool args, the fake/stub clients, the
inproc and httpapi LocalAIClient impls, plus 4 test files. A typo in
any caller silently fell through to the runtime "must be 'enable' or
'disable'" check.

Introduce core/services/modeladmin.Action (string alias) with
ActionEnable, ActionDisable, ActionPin, ActionUnpin and a small Valid
helper. The compiler now catches mismatches at every boundary; renames
ripple through one source of truth.

LocalAIClient.ToggleModelState/Pinned signatures change to take
modeladmin.Action. The package is brand-new and unreleased so this is
a free public-API tightening.

* fix(assistant): respect ctx cancellation on gallery channel sends

InstallModel, DeleteModel, ImportModelURI, InstallBackend and
UpgradeBackend all pushed onto galleryop channels with bare sends. If the
worker was paused or the buffer full, the chat-handler goroutine blocked
forever — the LLM kept polling and the request leaked.

Wrap the five sends in a sendModelOp/sendBackendOp helper that selects
on ctx.Done() so a cancelled chat completion surfaces context.Canceled
back to the LLM instead of hanging.

Adds inproc/client_test.go with a pre-cancelled-ctx regression test on
InstallModel; the helpers are shared so the same guarantee covers the
other four call sites.

* fix(assistant): graceful shutdown for in-memory holder and stdio CLI

Two related leaks:

- Application.start() built the LocalAIAssistantHolder but never wired
  Close() into the graceful-termination chain — the in-memory MCP
  transport pair stayed alive until process exit, and the goroutines
  behind net.Pipe() didn't drain. Hook into the existing
  signals.RegisterGracefulTerminationHandler chain (same pattern as
  core/http/endpoints/mcp/tools.go:770).

- core/cli/mcp_server.go ran srv.Run with context.Background(); a
  Ctrl-C from the host (Claude Desktop, mcphost, npx inspector) or a
  SIGTERM from process supervision left the stdio loop reading from a
  closed pipe. Switch to signal.NotifyContext to surface the signal
  through ctx and let srv.Run drain.

* fix(assistant): typed HTTPError + propagate prompt walk error

The httpapi client detected "no such job" by substring-matching on the
error string ("404", "could not find") — brittle to status-code
formatting changes and to LocalAI fixing /models/jobs/:uuid to return a
proper 404. Replace with a typed *HTTPError whose Is() method honours
errors.Is(err, ErrHTTPNotFound). The 500-with-"could not find" branch
stays as a transitional fallback documented in Is().

Same change covers ListNodes' 404 fallback for the /api/nodes endpoint.

Adds httptest tests for both 404 and the legacy 500 path, plus a
direct errors.Is exposure test so external callers (the standalone
stdio CLI host) can match without re-string-parsing.

Also tightens prompts.SystemPrompt: panic when fs.WalkDir on the
embedded FS fails. The only realistic cause is a build-time //go:embed
misconfiguration; serving an empty system prompt to the LLM is much
worse than crashing init. TestSystemPromptIncludesAllEmbeddedFiles
catches regressions in CI.

* fix(modeladmin): atomic writes for model config files

The five sites that wrote model YAML used os.WriteFile, which opens
with O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY|O_CREATE. A crash mid-write left the destination
truncated and the model unloadable until manual repair. Pre-existing
behaviour inherited from the original endpoint handlers — fix once now
that there's a single helper.

Adds writeFileAtomic: writes to a sibling temp file, chmods, syncs via
Close(), then os.Rename. Same-directory temp keeps the rename atomic on
the same filesystem; cleanup runs on every error path so stray temps
don't accumulate. No new dependency.

Applied to:
- ConfigService.PatchConfig
- ConfigService.EditYAML (both rename and in-place branches)
- mutateYAMLBoolFlag (drives ToggleState + TogglePinned)

atomic_test.go covers the happy path plus a read-only-dir failure case
that asserts the original file is preserved (skipped on Windows where
the chmod trick is POSIX-specific).

* chore(assistant): prune dead code, mark stub, document conventions

Three small cleanups landing together:

- Drop the unused errNotImplemented sentinel from inproc/client.go.
  All five methods that used to return it are wired to modeladmin
  helpers since the Phase B commit; the package var is dead.

- Annotate httpapi.Client.GetModelConfig as a known stub. LocalAI's
  /models/edit/:name returns rendered HTML, not JSON, so the standalone
  CLI's get_model_config tool surfaces a clear error to the LLM. A
  future JSON-only /api/models/config-yaml/:name endpoint is tracked in
  the agent contract; FIXME points at it.

- Extend `.agents/localai-assistant-mcp.md` with a "Code conventions"
  section that documents the audit-driven rules: tool/Capability/Action
  constants, errors.Is over substring matching, ctx-aware channel
  sends, atomic writes, and graceful shutdown. Refresh the file map so
  it lists tools.go and capability.go and drops the removed
  tools_bootstrap.go.

The tools_models.go diff is a comment-only change explaining why the
ModelName empty-string check stays at the tool layer (consistency
across LocalAIClient implementations, since the SDK schema validator

* test(assistant): convert test files to ginkgo + gomega

The repo convention (per core/http/endpoints/localai/*_test.go,
core/gallery/**, etc.) is Ginkgo v2 with Gomega assertions. The tests I
introduced for the assistant feature used vanilla testing.T, which made
them stand out and stripped the BDD structure the rest of the suite
relies on.

Convert every test file in the assistant scope to Ginkgo:

  pkg/mcp/localaitools/
    dto_test.go            — Describe("DTOs round-trip through JSON")
    prompts_test.go        — Describe("SystemPrompt assembler")
    server_test.go         — Describe("Server tool catalog"),
                              Describe("Tool dispatch"),
                              Describe("Tool error surfacing"),
                              Describe("Argument validation"),
                              Describe("Concurrent tool calls")
    parity_test.go         — Describe("LocalAIClient parity"),
                              hosts the suite's single RunSpecs (the file
                              is package localaitools_test so it can
                              import httpapi without an import cycle;
                              Ginkgo aggregates Describes from both the
                              internal and external test packages into
                              one run).
    httpapi/client_test.go — Describe("httpapi.Client against the
                              LocalAI admin REST surface"),
                              Describe("ErrHTTPNotFound"),
                              Describe("Bearer token")
    inproc/client_test.go  — Describe("inproc.Client cancellation")

  core/services/modeladmin/
    config_test.go         — Describe("ConfigService") with sub-Describes
                              for GetConfig, PatchConfig, EditYAML
    state_test.go          — Describe("ConfigService.ToggleState")
    pinned_test.go         — Describe("ConfigService.TogglePinned")
    atomic_test.go         — Describe("writeFileAtomic")

  core/http/endpoints/mcp/
    localai_assistant_test.go — Describe("LocalAIAssistantHolder")

Each package gets a `*_suite_test.go` with the standard
`RegisterFailHandler(Fail) + RunSpecs(t, "...")` boilerplate. Helpers
that previously took *testing.T (newTestService, writeModelYAML,
readMap, sortedStrings, sortGalleries, etc.) drop the *T receiver and
use Gomega Expectations directly. tmp dirs come from GinkgoT().TempDir().

No semantic change to test coverage — every original assertion has a
direct Gomega counterpart. All suites pass with -race.

* test+docs(assistant): drift detector for Tool ↔ REST route mapping

Honest gap from the audit: the parity_test.go suite only checks four
methods, and uses the same httpapi.Client for both sides — it asserts
stability of the DTO shapes, not equivalence between in-process and
HTTP. If a contributor adds an admin REST endpoint without an MCP tool,
or a tool without a matching httpapi route, both surfaces silently
diverge.

Add a coverage test plus stronger docs:

- pkg/mcp/localaitools/coverage_test.go introduces a hand-maintained
  toolToHTTPRoute map: every Tool* constant must list the REST endpoint
  the httpapi.Client hits (or "(none)" with a documented reason). Two
  Ginkgo specs assert the map and the published catalog stay in sync —
  one fails when a Tool is added without a route entry, the other fails
  when a route entry references a tool that no longer exists. Verified
  by removing the ToolDeleteModel entry locally; the test fired with a
  clear message pointing the contributor at the file.

  Deliberate non-test: we don't enumerate live admin REST routes from
  here. Walking the route registry requires booting Application;
  parsing core/http/routes/localai.go is brittle. The "new admin REST
  endpoint → MCP tool" direction stays a PR checklist item — see below.

- AGENTS.md gets a new Quick Reference bullet that calls out the rule
  and points at the test by name.

- .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md tightens the existing "Companion:
  MCP admin tool surface" subsection from "if useful, consider..." to
  "MUST be considered, with three concrete outcomes (tool added,
  deliberately skipped with documented reason, or forgot — which
  breaks the contract)". Adds a checklist item at the bottom of the
  file's authoritative checklist.

* refactor(assistant): drop duplicate DTOs, surface canonical types

Audit feedback: localaitools/dto.go reinvented several types that already
existed in the codebase. Replace the duplicates with the canonical types
so the LLM-visible wire format stays aligned with the rest of LocalAI by
construction (no parallel structs to keep in sync).

Removed (and the canonical type now used by the LocalAIClient interface):

  localaitools.Gallery          → config.Gallery
  localaitools.GalleryModelHit  → gallery.Metadata
  localaitools.VRAMEstimate     → vram.EstimateResult

Tightened scope:

  localaitools.Backend          → kept, but reduced to {Name, Installed}.
                                  ListKnownBackends now returns
                                  []schema.KnownBackend (the canonical
                                  type already used by REST /backends/known).

Kept with documented rationale:

  localaitools.JobStatus       — galleryop.OpStatus has Error error which
                                 marshals to "{}". JobStatus is the
                                 JSON-friendly mirror.
  localaitools.Node            — nodes.BackendNode carries gorm internals
                                 + token hash; we expose only the
                                 LLM-relevant fields.
  ImportModelURIRequest/Response — schema.ImportModelRequest and
                                   GalleryResponse are wire-shaped, mine
                                   are LLM-shaped (BackendPreference flat,
                                   AmbiguousBackend exposed).

Side wins:

  - Drop bytesPerMiB; vram.EstimateResult already carries human-readable
    display strings (size_display, vram_display) the LLM uses directly.
  - Drop the handler-private vramEstimateRequest in
    core/http/endpoints/localai/vram.go and bind directly into
    modeladmin.VRAMRequest (now JSON-tagged).

Both clients pass through these types now where possible (e.g.
ListGalleries in inproc.Client is a one-liner returning
AppConfig.Galleries; httpapi.Client.GallerySearch decodes straight into
[]gallery.Metadata).

All tests green with -race.

* refactor(assistant): extract REST route paths into named constants

httpapi.Client had 18 bare-string path sites scattered across methods.
Pull them into pkg/mcp/localaitools/httpapi/routes.go: static paths as
package-private constants, dynamic paths as small builders that handle
url.PathEscape on segment values.

No behaviour change. Drops the now-unused net/url import from client.go
since path escaping moved into routes.go alongside the path it applies to.

Local-only by design: the server-side registrations in
core/http/routes/localai.go remain bare strings. Sharing constants across
the pkg/ ↔ core/ boundary would invert the layering today; the existing
Tool↔REST drift-detector in coverage_test.go is the safety net for that
direction.

* docs(assistant): align with shipped UI and dropped bootstrap env vars

The LocalAI Assistant doc still described the older iteration:

- The in-chat toggle was renamed from "Admin" to "Manage" (the badge is
  now "Manage mode" and the home page exposes a "Manage by chat" CTA).
- LOCALAI_ASSISTANT_BOOTSTRAP_MODEL / --localai-assistant-bootstrap-model
  and the bootstrap_default_model tool were removed — admins pick a model
  from the existing selector instead, no env-var configuration required.
- The shipped tool catalog includes import_model_uri but didn't appear in
  the doc; bootstrap_default_model appeared but no longer exists.
- The Settings → LocalAI Assistant runtime toggle wasn't mentioned as the
  preferred way to disable without restart.

Ettore Di Giacinto 4906cbad04 feat: add biometrics UI (#9524)
* feat(react-ui): add Face & Voice Recognition pages

Expose the face and voice biometrics endpoints
(/v1/face/*, /v1/voice/*) through the React UI. Each page has four
tabs driving the six endpoints per modality: Analyze (demographics
with bounding boxes / waveform segments), Compare (verify with a
match gauge and live threshold slider), Enrollment (register /
identify / forget with a top-K matches view), Embedding (raw
vector inspector with sparkline + copy).

MediaInput supports file upload plus live capture: webcam
snap-to-canvas for face, MediaRecorder -> AudioContext ->
16-bit PCM mono WAV transcode for voice (libsndfile on the
backend only handles WAV/FLAC/OGG natively).

Sidebar gets a new Biometrics section feature-gated on
face_recognition / voice_recognition; routes are wrapped in
<RequireFeature>. No new dependencies -- Font Awesome icons
picked from the Free set.

* fix(localai): accept data URI prefixes with codec/charset params

Browser MediaRecorder produces data URIs like
  data:audio/webm;codecs=opus;base64,...
so the pre-';base64,' section can carry multiple parameter
segments. The `^data:([^;]+);base64,` regex in pkg/utils/base64.go
and core/http/endpoints/localai/audio.go only matched exactly one
segment, so recordings straight from the React UI's live-capture
tab failed the strip and then tripped the base64 decoder on the
leading 'data:' literal, surfacing as
  "invalid audio base64: illegal base64 data at input byte 4"

Widened both regexes to `^data:[^,]+?;base64,` so any number of
';param=value' segments between the mime type and ';base64,' are
tolerated. Added a regression test covering the MediaRecorder
shape.

* fix(insightface): scope pack ONNX loading to known manifests

LocalAI's gallery extracts buffalo_* zips flat into the models
directory, which inevitably mixes with ONNX files from other
backends (opencv face engine, MiniFASNet antispoof, WeSpeaker
voice embedding) and older buffalo pack installs. Feeding those
foreign files into insightface's model_zoo.get_model() blows up
inside the router -- it assumes a 4-D NCHW input and indexes
`input_shape[2]` on tensors that aren't shaped like a face model,
raising IndexError mid-load and leaving the backend unusable.

The router's dispatch isn't amenable to per-file try/except alone
(first-file-wins picks det_10g.onnx from buffalo_l even when the
user asked for buffalo_sc -- alphabetical order happens to favour
the wrong pack). Instead, ship an explicit manifest of the
upstream v0.7 pack contents and scope the glob to that when the
requested pack is known. The manifest is small and stable; future
packs can be added alongside or fall through to the tolerance
loop, which also swallows any remaining IndexError / ValueError
from foreign files with a clear `[insightface] skipped` stderr
line for diagnostics.

* fix(speaker-recognition): extract FBank features for rank-3 ONNX encoders

Pre-exported speaker-encoder ONNX graphs come in two shapes:

  rank-2  [batch, samples]           -- some 3D-Speaker exports,
                                        take raw waveform directly.
  rank-3  [batch, frames, n_mels]    -- WeSpeaker and most Kaldi-
                                        lineage encoders, expect
                                        pre-computed Kaldi FBank.

OnnxDirectEngine unconditionally fed `audio.reshape(1, -1)` --
correct for rank-2, IndexError-on-input_shape[3] on rank-3, which
surfaced to the UI as
  "Invalid rank for input: feats Got: 2 Expected: 3"

Detect the input rank at session init and run Kaldi FBank
(80-dim, 25ms/10ms frames, dither=0.0, per-utterance CMN) before
the forward pass when rank>=3. All knobs are configurable via
backend options for encoders that deviate from defaults.

torchaudio.compliance.kaldi is already in the backend's
requirements (SpeechBrain pulls torchaudio in), so no new
dependency.

* fix(biometrics): isolate face and voice vector stores

Face (ArcFace, 512-D) and voice (ECAPA-TDNN 192-D / WeSpeaker
256-D) biometric embeddings were colliding inside a single
in-memory local-store instance. Enrolling one after the other
failed with
  "Try to add key with length N when existing length is M"
because local-store correctly refuses to mix dimensions in one
keyspace.

The registries were constructed with `storeName=""`, which in
StoreBackend() is just a WithModel() call. But ModelLoader's
cache is keyed on `modelID`, not `model` -- so both registries
collapsed to the same `modelID=""` slot and reused the same
backend process despite looking isolated on paper.

Three complementary fixes:

  1. application.go -- give each registry a distinct default
     namespace ("localai-face-biometrics" /
     "localai-voice-biometrics"). The comment claimed
     isolation, now it's actually enforced.

  2. stores.go -- pass the storeName as both WithModelID and
     WithModel so the ModelLoader cache key separates
     namespaces and the loader spawns distinct processes.

  3. local-store/store.go -- drop the Load() `opts.Model != ""`
     guard. It was there to prevent generic model-loading loops
     from picking up local-store by accident, but that auto-load
     path is being retired; the guard now just blocks legitimate
     namespace isolation. opts.Model is treated as a tag; the
     per-tuple process isolation upstream handles discrimination.

* fix(gallery): stale-file cleanup and upgrade-tmp directory safety

Two related robustness fixes for backend install/upgrade:

pkg/downloader/uri.go
  OCI downloads passed through
      if filepath.Ext(filePath) != "" ...
          filePath = filepath.Dir(filePath)
  which was intended to redirect file-shaped download targets
  into their parent directory for OCI extraction. The heuristic
  misfires on directory-shaped paths with a dot-suffix --
  gallery.UpgradeBackend uses
      tmpPath = "<backendsPath>/<name>.upgrade-tmp"
  and Go's filepath.Ext treats ".upgrade-tmp" as an extension.
  The rewrite landed the extraction at "<backendsPath>/", which
  then **overwrote the real install** (backends/<name>/) with a
  flat-layout file and left a stray run.sh at the top level. The
  tmp dir itself stayed empty, so the validation step that
  checked "<tmpPath>/run.sh" predictably failed with
      "upgrade validation failed: run.sh not found in new backend"
  Every manual upgrade silently corrupted the backends tree this
  way. Guard the rewrite behind "target isn't already an existing
  directory" -- InstallBackend / UpgradeBackend both pre-create
  the target as a directory, so they get the correct behaviour;
  existing file-path callers with a genuine dot-extension still
  get the parent redirect.

core/gallery/backends.go
  InstallBackend's MkdirAll returned ENOTDIR when something at
  the target path was already a file (legacy dev builds dropped
  golang backend binaries directly at `<backendsPath>/<name>`
  instead of nesting them under their own subdir). That
  permanently blocked reinstall and upgrade for anyone carrying
  that state, since every retry hit the same error. Detect a
  pre-existing non-directory, warn, and remove it before the
  MkdirAll so the fresh install can write the correct nested
  layout with metadata.json + run.sh.

Assisted-by: Claude:Opus 4.7

* fix(galleryop): refresh upgrade cache after backend ops

UpgradeChecker caches the last upgrade-check result and only
refreshes on the 6-hour tick or after an auto-upgrade cycle.
Manual upgrades (POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name) go through
the async galleryop worker, which completes the upgrade
correctly but never tells UpgradeChecker to re-check -- so
/api/backends/upgrades continued to list a just-upgraded backend
as upgradeable, indistinguishable from a failed upgrade, for up
to six hours.

Add an optional `OnBackendOpCompleted func()` hook on
GalleryService that fires after every successful install /
upgrade / delete on the backend channel (async, so a slow
callback doesn't stall the queue). startup.go wires it to
UpgradeChecker.TriggerCheck after both services exist. Result:
the upgrade banner clears within milliseconds of the worker
finishing.

* build: prepend GOPATH/bin to PATH for protogen-go

install-go-tools runs `go install` for protoc-gen-go and
protoc-gen-go-grpc, which writes them into `go env GOPATH`/bin.
That directory isn't on every dev's PATH, and protoc resolves
its code-gen plugins via PATH, so the immediately-following
protoc invocation fails with
  "protoc-gen-go: program not found"
which in turn blocks `make build` and any
`make backends/%` target that depends on build.

Prepend `go env GOPATH`/bin to PATH for the protoc invocation
so the freshly-installed plugins are found without requiring a
shell-profile change.

Assisted-by: Claude:Opus 4.7

* refactor(ui-api): non-blocking backend upgrade handler with opcache

POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name used to send the ManagementOp
directly onto the unbuffered BackendGalleryChannel, which blocked
the HTTP request whenever the galleryop worker was busy with a
prior operation. The op also didn't show up in /api/operations,
so the Backends UI couldn't reflect upgrade progress on the
affected row.

Register the op in opcache immediately, wrap it in a cancellable
context, store the cancellation function on the GalleryService,
and push onto the channel from a goroutine so the handler
returns right away. Response gains a `jobID` field and a
`message` string so clients have a consistent handle regardless
of whether the op is queued or running.

Pairs with the OnBackendOpCompleted hook added in the galleryop
commit — together the UI sees the upgrade start, watches
progress via /api/operations, and drops the "upgradeable" flag
the moment the worker finishes.

Ettore Di Giacinto 181ebb6df4 feat: voice recognition (#9500)
* feat(voice-recognition): add /v1/voice/{verify,analyze,embed} + speaker-recognition backend

Audio analog to face recognition. Adds three gRPC RPCs
(VoiceVerify / VoiceAnalyze / VoiceEmbed), their Go service and HTTP
layers, a new FLAG_SPEAKER_RECOGNITION capability flag, and a Python
backend scaffold under backend/python/speaker-recognition/ wrapping
SpeechBrain ECAPA-TDNN with a parallel OnnxDirectEngine for
WeSpeaker / 3D-Speaker ONNX exports.

The kokoros Rust backend gets matching unimplemented trait stubs —
tonic's async_trait has no defaults, so adding an RPC without Rust
stubs breaks the build (same regression fixed by eb01c772 for face).

Swagger, /api/instructions, and the auth RouteFeatureRegistry /
APIFeatures list are updated so the endpoints surface everywhere a
client or admin UI looks.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7

* feat(voice-recognition): add 1:N identify + register/forget endpoints

Mirrors the face-recognition register/identify/forget surface. New
package core/services/voicerecognition/ carries a Registry interface
and a local-store-backed implementation (same in-memory vector-store
plumbing facerecognition uses, separate instance so the embedding
spaces stay isolated).

Handlers under /v1/voice/{register,identify,forget} reuse
backend.VoiceEmbed to compute the probe vector, then delegate the
nearest-neighbour search to the registry. Default cosine-distance
threshold is tuned for ECAPA-TDNN on VoxCeleb (0.25, EER ~1.9%).

As with the face registry, the current backing is in-memory only — a
pgvector implementation is a future constructor-level swap.

* feat(voice-recognition): gallery, docs, CI and e2e coverage

- backend/index.yaml: speaker-recognition backend entry + CPU and
  CUDA-12 image variants (plus matching development variants).
- gallery/index.yaml: speechbrain-ecapa-tdnn (default) and
  wespeaker-resnet34 model entries. The WeSpeaker SHA-256 is a
  deliberate placeholder — the HF URI must be curl'd and its hash
  filled in before the entry installs.
- docs/content/features/voice-recognition.md: API reference + quickstart,
  mirrors the face-recognition docs.
- React UI: CAP_SPEAKER_RECOGNITION flag export (consumers follow face's
  precedent — no dedicated tab yet).
- tests/e2e-backends: voice_embed / voice_verify / voice_analyze specs.
  Helper resolveFaceFixture is reused as-is — the only thing face/voice
  share is "download a file into workDir", so no need for a new helper.
- Makefile: docker-build-speaker-recognition + test-extra-backend-
  speaker-recognition-{ecapa,all} targets. Audio fixtures default to
  VCTK p225/p226 samples from HuggingFace.
- CI: test-extra.yml grows a tests-speaker-recognition-grpc job
  mirroring insightface. backend.yml matrix gains CPU + CUDA-12 image
  build entries — scripts/changed-backends.js auto-picks these up.

* feat(voice-recognition): wire a working /v1/voice/analyze head

Adds AnalysisHead: a lazy-loading age / gender / emotion inference
wrapper that plugs into both SpeechBrainEngine and OnnxDirectEngine.

Defaults to two open-licence HuggingFace checkpoints:
  - audeering/wav2vec2-large-robust-24-ft-age-gender (Apache 2.0) —
    age regression + 3-way gender (female / male / child).
  - superb/wav2vec2-base-superb-er (Apache 2.0) — 4-way emotion.

Both are optional and degrade gracefully when transformers or the
model can't be loaded — the engine raises NotImplementedError so the
gRPC layer returns 501 instead of a generic 500.

Emotion classes pass through from the model (neutral/happy/angry/sad
on the default checkpoint); the e2e test now accepts any non-empty
dominant gender so custom age_gender_model overrides don't fail it.

Adds transformers to the backend's CPU and CUDA-12 requirements.

* fix(voice-recognition): soundfile loader + honest analyze default

Two issues surfaced on first end-to-end smoke with the actual backend
image:

1. torchaudio.load in torchaudio 2.8+ requires the torchcodec package
   for audio decoding. Switch SpeechBrainEngine._load_waveform to the
   already-present soundfile (listed in requirements.txt) plus a numpy
   linear resample to 16kHz. Drops a heavy ffmpeg-linked dep and the
   codepath we never exercise (torchaudio's ffmpeg backend).

2. The AnalysisHead was defaulting to audeering/wav2vec2-large-robust-
   24-ft-age-gender, but AutoModelForAudioClassification silently
   mangles that checkpoint — it reports the age head weights as
   UNEXPECTED and re-initialises the classifier head with random
   values, so the "gender" output is noise and there is no age output
   at all. Make age/gender opt-in instead (empty default; users wire
   a cleanly-loadable Wav2Vec2ForSequenceClassification checkpoint via
   age_gender_model: option). Emotion keeps its working Superb default.
   Also broaden _infer_age_gender's tensor-shape handling and catch
   runtime exceptions so a dodgy age/gender head never takes down the
   whole analyze call.

Docs and README updated to match the new policy.

Verified with the branch-scoped gallery on localhost:
- voice/embed    → 192-d ECAPA-TDNN vector
- voice/verify   → same-clip dist≈6e-08 verified=true; cross-speaker
                   dist 0.76–0.99 verified=false (as expected)
- voice/register/identify/forget → round-trip works, 404 on unknown id
- voice/analyze  → emotion populated, age/gender omitted (opt-in)

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7

* fix(voice-recognition): real CI audio fixtures + fixture-agnostic verify spec

Two issues surfaced after CI actually ran the speaker-recognition e2e
target (I'd curl-tested against a running server but hadn't run the
make target locally):

1. The default BACKEND_TEST_VOICE_AUDIO_* URLs pointed at
   huggingface.co/datasets/CSTR-Edinburgh/vctk paths that return 404
   (the dataset is gated). Swap them for the speechbrain test samples
   served from github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/raw/develop/ —
   public, no auth, correct 16kHz mono format.

2. The VoiceVerify spec required d(file1,file2) < 0.4, assuming
   file1/file2 were same-speaker. The speechbrain samples are three
   different speakers (example1/2/5), and there is no easy un-gated
   source of true same-speaker audio pairs (VoxCeleb/VCTK/LibriSpeech
   are all license- or size-gated for CI use). Replace the ceiling
   check with a relative-ordering assertion: d(pair) > d(same-clip)
   for both file2 and file3 — that's enough to prove the embeddings
   encode speaker info, and it works with any three non-identical
   clips. Actual speaker ordering d(1,2) vs d(1,3) is logged but not
   asserted.

Local run: 4/4 voice specs pass (Health, LoadModel, VoiceEmbed,
VoiceVerify) on the built backend image. 12 non-voice specs skipped
as expected.

* fix(ci): checkout with submodules in the reusable backend_build workflow

The kokoros Rust backend build fails with

    failed to read .../sources/Kokoros/kokoros/Cargo.toml: No such file

because the reusable backend_build.yml workflow's actions/checkout
step was missing `submodules: true`. Dockerfile.rust does `COPY .
/LocalAI`, and without the submodule files the subsequent `cargo
build` can't find the vendored Kokoros crate.

The bug pre-dates this PR — scripts/changed-backends.js only triggers
the kokoros image job when something under backend/rust/kokoros or
the shared proto changes, so master had been coasting past it. The
voice-recognition proto addition re-broke it.

Other checkouts in backend.yml (llama-cpp-darwin) and test-extra.yml
(insightface, kokoros, speaker-recognition) already pass
`submodules: true`; this brings the shared backend image builder in
line.

Ettore Di Giacinto 20baec77ab feat(face-recognition): add insightface/onnx backend for 1:1 verify, 1:N identify, embedding, detection, analysis (#9480)
* feat(face-recognition): add insightface backend for 1:1 verify, 1:N identify, embedding, detection, analysis

Adds face recognition as a new first-class capability in LocalAI via the
`insightface` Python backend, with a pluggable two-engine design so
non-commercial (insightface model packs) and commercial-safe
(OpenCV Zoo YuNet + SFace) models share the same gRPC/HTTP surface.

New gRPC RPCs (backend/backend.proto):
  * FaceVerify(FaceVerifyRequest) returns FaceVerifyResponse
  * FaceAnalyze(FaceAnalyzeRequest) returns FaceAnalyzeResponse

Existing Embedding and Detect RPCs are reused (face image in
PredictOptions.Images / DetectOptions.src) for face embedding and
face detection respectively.

New HTTP endpoints under /v1/face/:
  * verify     — 1:1 image pair same-person decision
  * analyze    — per-face age + gender (emotion/race reserved)
  * register   — 1:N enrollment; stores embedding in vector store
  * identify   — 1:N recognition; detect → embed → StoresFind
  * forget     — remove a registered face by opaque ID

Service layer (core/services/facerecognition/) introduces a
`Registry` interface with one in-memory `storeRegistry` impl backed
by LocalAI's existing local-store gRPC vector backend. HTTP handlers
depend on the interface, not on StoresSet/StoresFind directly, so a
persistent PostgreSQL/pgvector implementation can be slotted in via a
single constructor change in core/application (TODO marker in the
package doc).

New usecase flag FLAG_FACE_RECOGNITION; insightface is also wired
into FLAG_DETECTION so /v1/detection works for face bounding boxes.

Gallery (backend/index.yaml) ships three entries:
  * insightface-buffalo-l   — SCRFD-10GF + ArcFace R50 + genderage
                              (~326MB pre-baked; non-commercial research use only)
  * insightface-opencv      — YuNet + SFace (~40MB pre-baked; Apache 2.0)
  * insightface-buffalo-s   — SCRFD-500MF + MBF (runtime download; non-commercial)

Python backend (backend/python/insightface/):
  * engines.py — FaceEngine protocol with InsightFaceEngine and
    OnnxDirectEngine; resolves model paths relative to the backend
    directory so the same gallery config works in docker-scratch and
    in the e2e-backends rootfs-extraction harness.
  * backend.py — gRPC servicer implementing Health, LoadModel, Status,
    Embedding, Detect, FaceVerify, FaceAnalyze.
  * install.sh — pre-bakes buffalo_l + OpenCV YuNet/SFace inside the
    backend directory so first-run is offline-clean (the final scratch
    image only preserves files under /<backend>/).
  * test.py — parametrized unit tests over both engines.

Tests:
  * Registry unit tests (go test -race ./core/services/facerecognition/...)
    — in-memory fake grpc.Backend, table-driven, covers register/
    identify/forget/error paths + concurrent access.
  * tests/e2e-backends/backend_test.go extended with face caps
    (face_detect, face_embed, face_verify, face_analyze); relative
    ordering + configurable verifyCeiling per engine.
  * Makefile targets: test-extra-backend-insightface-buffalo-l,
    -opencv, and the -all aggregate.
  * CI: .github/workflows/test-extra.yml gains tests-insightface-grpc,
    auto-triggered by changes under backend/python/insightface/.

Docs:
  * docs/content/features/face-recognition.md — feature page with
    license table, quickstart (defaults to the commercial-safe model),
    models matrix, API reference, 1:N workflow, storage caveats.
  * Cross-refs in object-detection.md, stores.md, embeddings.md, and
    whats-new.md.
  * Contributor README at backend/python/insightface/README.md.

Verified end-to-end:
  * buffalo_l: 6/6 specs (health, load, face_detect, face_embed,
    face_verify, face_analyze).
  * opencv: 5/5 specs (same minus face_analyze — SFace has no
    demographic head; correctly skipped via BACKEND_TEST_CAPS).

* fix(face-recognition): move engine selection to model gallery, collapse backend entries

The previous commit put engine/model_pack options on backend gallery
entries (`backend/index.yaml`). That was wrong — `GalleryBackend`
(core/gallery/backend_types.go:32) has no `options` field, so the
YAML decoder silently dropped those keys and all three "different
insightface-*" backend entries resolved to the same container image
with no distinguishing configuration.

Correct split:

  * `backend/index.yaml` now has ONE `insightface` backend entry
    shipping the CPU + CUDA 12 container images. The Python backend
    bundles both the non-commercial insightface model packs
    (buffalo_l / buffalo_s) and the commercial-safe OpenCV Zoo
    weights (YuNet + SFace); the active engine is selected at
    LoadModel time via `options: ["engine:..."]`.

  * `gallery/index.yaml` gains three model entries —
    `insightface-buffalo-l`, `insightface-opencv`,
    `insightface-buffalo-s` — each setting the appropriate
    `overrides.backend` + `overrides.options` so installing one
    actually gives the user the intended engine. This matches how
    `rfdetr-base` lives in the model gallery against the `rfdetr`
    backend.

The earlier e2e tests passed despite this bug because the Makefile
targets pass `BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS` directly to LoadModel via gRPC,
bypassing any gallery resolution entirely. No code changes needed.

* feat(face-recognition): cover all supported models in the gallery + drop weight baking

Follows up on the model-gallery split: adds entries for every model
configuration either engine actually supports, and switches weight
delivery from image-baked to LocalAI's standard gallery mechanism.

Gallery now has seven `insightface-*` model entries (gallery/index.yaml):

  insightface (family)  — non-commercial research use
    • buffalo-l   (326MB)  — SCRFD-10GF + ResNet50 + genderage, default
    • buffalo-m   (313MB)  — SCRFD-2.5GF + ResNet50 + genderage
    • buffalo-s   (159MB)  — SCRFD-500MF + MBF + genderage
    • buffalo-sc  (16MB)   — SCRFD-500MF + MBF, recognition only
                             (no landmarks, no demographics — analyze
                             returns empty attributes)
    • antelopev2  (407MB)  — SCRFD-10GF + ResNet100@Glint360K + genderage

  OpenCV Zoo family — Apache 2.0 commercial-safe
    • opencv       — YuNet + SFace fp32 (~40MB)
    • opencv-int8  — YuNet + SFace int8 (~12MB, ~3x smaller, faster on CPU)

Model weights are no longer baked into the backend image. The image
now ships only the Python runtime + libraries (~275MB content size,
~1.18GB disk vs ~1.21GB when weights were baked). Weights flow through
LocalAI's gallery mechanism:

  * OpenCV variants list `files:` with ONNX URIs + SHA-256, so
    `local-ai models install insightface-opencv` pulls them into the
    models directory exactly like any other gallery-managed model.

  * insightface packs (upstream distributes .zip archives only, not
    individual ONNX files) auto-download on first LoadModel via
    FaceAnalysis' built-in machinery, rooted at the LocalAI models
    directory so they live alongside everything else — same pattern
    `rfdetr` uses with `inference.get_model()`.

Backend changes (backend/python/insightface/):

  * backend.py — LoadModel propagates `ModelOptions.ModelPath` (the
    LocalAI models directory) to engines via a `_model_dir` hint.
    This replaces the earlier ModelFile-dirname approach; ModelPath
    is the canonical "models directory" variable set by the Go loader
    (pkg/model/initializers.go:144) and is always populated.

  * engines.py::_resolve_model_path — picks up `model_dir` and searches
    it (plus basename-in-model-dir) before falling back to the dev
    script-dir. This is how OnnxDirectEngine finds gallery-downloaded
    YuNet/SFace files by filename only.

  * engines.py::_flatten_insightface_pack — new helper that works
    around an upstream packaging inconsistency: buffalo_l/s/sc zips
    expand flat, but buffalo_m and antelopev2 zips wrap their ONNX
    files in a redundant `<name>/` directory. insightface's own
    loader looks one level too shallow and fails. We call
    `ensure_available()` explicitly, flatten if nested, then hand to
    FaceAnalysis.

  * engines.py::InsightFaceEngine.prepare — root-resolution order now
    includes the `_model_dir` hint so packs download into the LocalAI
    models directory by default.

  * install.sh — no longer pre-downloads any weights. Everything is
    gallery-managed now.

  * smoke.py (new) — parametrized smoke test that iterates over every
    gallery configuration, simulating the LocalAI install flow
    (creates a models dir, fetches OpenCV files with checksum
    verification, lets insightface auto-download its packs), then
    runs detect + embed + verify (+ analyze where supported) through
    the in-process BackendServicer.

  * test.py — OnnxDirectEngineTest no longer hardcodes `/models/opencv/`
    paths; downloads ONNX files to a temp dir at setUpClass time and
    passes ModelPath accordingly.

Registry change (core/services/facerecognition/store_registry.go):

  * `dim=0` in NewStoreRegistry now means "accept whatever dimension
    arrives" — needed because the backend supports 512-d ArcFace/MBF
    and 128-d SFace via the same Registry. A non-zero dim still fails
    fast with ErrDimensionMismatch.

  * core/application plumbs `faceEmbeddingDim = 0`, explaining the
    rationale in the comment.

Backend gallery description updated to reflect that the image carries
no weights — it's just Python + engines.

Smoke-tested all 7 configurations against the rebuilt image (with the
flatten fix applied), exit 0:

    PASS: insightface-buffalo-l    faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000
    PASS: insightface-buffalo-sc   faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000

* fix(face-recognition): pre-fetch OpenCV ONNX for e2e target; drop stale pre-baked claim

CI regression from the previous commit: I moved OpenCV Zoo weight
delivery to LocalAI's gallery `files:` mechanism, but the
test-extra-backend-insightface-opencv target was still passing
relative paths `detector_onnx:models/opencv/yunet.onnx` in
BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS. The e2e suite drives LoadModel directly over
gRPC without going through the gallery, so those relative paths
resolved to nothing and OpenCV's ONNXImporter failed:

    LoadModel failed: Failed to load face engine:
    OpenCV(4.13.0) ... Can't read ONNX file: models/opencv/yunet.onnx

Fix: add an `insightface-opencv-models` prerequisite target that
fetches the two ONNX files (YuNet + SFace) to a deterministic host
cache at /tmp/localai-insightface-opencv-cache/, verifies SHA-256,
and skips the download on re-runs. The opencv test target depends on
it and passes absolute paths in BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS, so the backend
finds the files via its normal absolute-path resolution branch.

Also refresh the buffalo_l comment: it no longer says "pre-baked"
(nothing is — the pack auto-downloads from upstream's GitHub release
on first LoadModel, same as in CI).

Locally verified: `make test-extra-backend-insightface-opencv` passes
5/5 specs (health, load, face_detect, face_embed, face_verify).

* feat(face-recognition): add POST /v1/face/embed + correct /v1/embeddings docs

The docs promised that /v1/embeddings returns face vectors when you
send an image data-URI. That was never true: /v1/embeddings is
OpenAI-compatible and text-only by contract — its handler goes
through `core/backend/embeddings.go::ModelEmbedding`, which sets
`predictOptions.Embeddings = s` (a string of TEXT to embed) and never
populates `predictOptions.Images[]`. The Python backend's Embedding
gRPC method does handle Images[] (that's how /v1/face/register reaches
it internally via `backend.FaceEmbed`), but the HTTP embeddings
endpoint wasn't wired to populate it.

Rather than overload /v1/embeddings with image-vs-text detection —
messy, and the endpoint is OpenAI-compatible by design — add a
dedicated /v1/face/embed endpoint that wraps `backend.FaceEmbed`
(already used internally by /v1/face/register and /v1/face/identify).

Matches LocalAI's convention of a dedicated path per non-standard flow
(/v1/rerank, /v1/detection, /v1/face/verify etc.).

Response:

    {
      "embedding": [<dim> floats, L2-normed],
      "dim": int,           // 512 for ArcFace R50 / MBF, 128 for SFace
      "model": "<name>"
    }

Live-tested on the opencv engine: returns a 128-d L2-normalized vector
(sum(x^2) = 1.0000). Sentinel in docs updated to note /v1/embeddings
is text-only and point image users at /v1/face/embed instead.

* fix(http): map malformed image input + gRPC status codes to proper 4xx

Image-input failures on LocalAI's single-image endpoints (/v1/detection,
/v1/face/{verify,analyze,embed,register,identify}) have historically
returned 500 — even when the client was the one who sent garbage.
Classic example: you POST an "image" that isn't a URL, isn't a
data-URI, and isn't a valid JPEG/PNG — the server shouldn't claim
that's its fault.

Two helpers land in core/http/endpoints/localai/images.go and every
single-image handler is switched over:

  * decodeImageInput(s)
      Wraps utils.GetContentURIAsBase64 and turns any failure
      (invalid URL, not a data-URI, download error, etc.) into
      echo.NewHTTPError(400, "invalid image input: ...").

  * mapBackendError(err)
      Inspects the gRPC status on a backend call error and maps:
        INVALID_ARGUMENT     → 400 Bad Request
        NOT_FOUND            → 404 Not Found
        FAILED_PRECONDITION  → 412 Precondition Failed
        Unimplemented        → 501 Not Implemented
      All other codes fall through unchanged (still 500).

Before, my 1×1 PNG error-path test returned:
    HTTP 500 "rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = failed to decode one or both images"
After:
    HTTP 400 "failed to decode one or both images"

Scope-limited to the LocalAI single-image endpoints. The multi-modal
paths (middleware/request.go, openresponses/responses.go,
openai/realtime.go) intentionally log-and-skip individual media parts
when decoding fails — different design intent (graceful degradation
of a multi-part message), not a 400-worthy failure. Left untouched.

Live-verified: every error case in /tmp/face_errors.py now returns
4xx with a meaningful message; the "image with no face (1x1 PNG)"
case specifically went from 500 → 400.

* refactor(face-recognition): insightface packs go through gallery files:, drop FaceAnalysis

Follows up on the discovery that LocalAI's gallery `files:` mechanism
handles archives (zip, tar.gz, …) via mholt/archiver/v3 — the rhasspy
piper voices use exactly this pattern. Insightface packs are zip
archives, so we can now deliver them the same way every other
gallery-managed model gets delivered: declaratively, checksum-verified,
through LocalAI's standard download+extract pipeline.

Two changes:

1. Gallery (gallery/index.yaml) — every insightface-* entry gains a
   `files:` list with the pack zip's URI + SHA-256. `local-ai models
   install insightface-buffalo-l` now fetches the zip, verifies the
   hash, and extracts it into the models directory. No more reliance
   on insightface's library-internal `ensure_available()` auto-download
   or its hardcoded `BASE_REPO_URL`.

2. InsightFaceEngine (backend/python/insightface/engines.py) — drops
   the FaceAnalysis wrapper and drives insightface's `model_zoo`
   directly. The ~50 lines FaceAnalysis provides — glob ONNX files,
   route each through `model_zoo.get_model()`, build a
   `{taskname: model}` dict, loop per-face at inference — are
   reimplemented in `InsightFaceEngine`. The actual inference classes
   (RetinaFace, ArcFaceONNX, Attribute, Landmark) are still
   insightface's — we only replicate the glue, so drift risk against
   upstream is minimal.

   Why drop FaceAnalysis: it hard-codes a `<root>/models/<name>/*.onnx`
   layout that doesn't match what LocalAI's zip extraction produces.
   LocalAI unpacks archives flat into `<models_dir>`. Upstream packs
   are inconsistent — buffalo_l/s/sc ship ONNX at the zip root (lands
   at `<models_dir>/*.onnx`), buffalo_m/antelopev2 wrap in a redundant
   `<name>/` dir (lands at `<models_dir>/<name>/*.onnx`). The new
   `_locate_insightface_pack` helper searches both locations plus
   legacy paths and returns whichever has ONNX files. Replaces the
   earlier `_flatten_insightface_pack` helper (which tried to fight
   FaceAnalysis's layout expectations; now we just find the files
   wherever they are).

Net effect for users: install once via LocalAI's managed flow,
weights live alongside every other model, progress shows in the
jobs endpoint, no first-load network call. Same API surface,
cleaner plumbing.

* fix(face-recognition): CI's insightface e2e path needs the pack pre-fetched

The e2e suite drives LoadModel over gRPC without going through LocalAI's
gallery flow, so the engine's `_model_dir` option (normally populated
from ModelPath) is empty. Previously the insightface target relied on
FaceAnalysis auto-download to paper over this, but we dropped
FaceAnalysis in favor of direct model_zoo calls — so the buffalo_l
target started failing at LoadModel with "no insightface pack found".

Mirror the opencv target's pre-fetch pattern: download buffalo_sc.zip
(same SHA as the gallery entry), extract it on the host, and pass
`root:<dir>` so the engine locates the pack without needing
ModelPath. Switched to buffalo_sc (smallest pack, ~16MB) to keep CI
fast; it covers the same insightface engine code path as buffalo_l.

Face analyze cap dropped since buffalo_sc has no age/gender head.

* feat(face-recognition): surface face-recognition in advertised feature maps

The six /v1/face/* endpoints were missing from every place LocalAI
advertises its feature surface to clients:

  * api_instructions — the machine-readable capability index at
    GET /api/instructions. Added `face-recognition` as a dedicated
    instruction area with an intro that calls out the in-memory
    registry caveat and the /v1/face/embed vs /v1/embeddings split.
  * auth/permissions — added FeatureFaceRecognition constant, routed
    all six face endpoints through it so admins can gate them per-user
    like any other API feature. Default ON (matches the other API
    features).
  * React UI capabilities — CAP_FACE_RECOGNITION symbol mapped to
    FLAG_FACE_RECOGNITION. Declared only for now; the Face page is a
    follow-up (noted in the plan).

Instruction count bumped 9 → 10; test updated.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m]

* docs(agents): capture advertising-surface steps in the endpoint guide

Before this change, adding a new /v1/* endpoint reliably missed one or
more of: the swagger @Tags annotation, the /api/instructions registry,
the auth RouteFeatureRegistry, and the React UI CAP_* symbol. The
endpoint would work but be invisible to API consumers, admins, and the
UI — and nothing in the existing docs said to look in those places.

Extend .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md with a new "Advertising
surfaces" section covering all four surfaces (swagger tags, /api/
instructions, capabilities.js, docs/), and expand the closing checklist
so it's impossible to ship a feature without visiting each one. Hoist a
one-liner reminder into AGENTS.md's Quick Reference so agents skim it
before diving in.

Ettore Di Giacinto 8ab0744458 feat: backend versioning, upgrade detection and auto-upgrade (#9315)
* feat: add backend versioning data model foundation

Add Version, URI, and Digest fields to BackendMetadata for tracking
installed backend versions and enabling upgrade detection. Add Version
field to GalleryBackend. Add UpgradeAvailable/AvailableVersion fields
to SystemBackend. Implement GetImageDigest() for lightweight OCI digest
lookups via remote.Head. Record version, URI, and digest at install time
in InstallBackend() and propagate version through meta backends.

* feat: add backend upgrade detection and execution logic

Add CheckBackendUpgrades() to compare installed backend versions/digests
against gallery entries, and UpgradeBackend() to perform atomic upgrades
with backup-based rollback on failure. Includes Agent A's data model
changes (Version/URI/Digest fields, GetImageDigest).

* feat: add AutoUpgradeBackends config and runtime settings

Add configuration and runtime settings for backend auto-upgrade:
- RuntimeSettings field for dynamic config via API/JSON
- ApplicationConfig field, option func, and roundtrip conversion
- CLI flag with LOCALAI_AUTO_UPGRADE_BACKENDS env var
- Config file watcher support for runtime_settings.json
- Tests for ToRuntimeSettings, ApplyRuntimeSettings, and roundtrip

* feat(ui): add backend version display and upgrade support

- Add upgrade check/trigger API endpoints to config and api module
- Backends page: version badge, upgrade indicator, upgrade button
- Manage page: version in metadata, context-aware upgrade/reinstall button
- Settings page: auto-upgrade backends toggle

* feat: add upgrade checker service, API endpoints, and CLI command

- UpgradeChecker background service: checks every 6h, auto-upgrades when enabled
- API endpoints: GET /backends/upgrades, POST /backends/upgrades/check, POST /backends/upgrade/:name
- CLI: `localai backends upgrade` command, version display in `backends list`
- BackendManager interface: add UpgradeBackend and CheckUpgrades methods
- Wire upgrade op through GalleryService backend handler
- Distributed mode: fan-out upgrade to worker nodes via NATS

* fix: use advisory lock for upgrade checker in distributed mode

In distributed mode with multiple frontend instances, use PostgreSQL
advisory lock (KeyBackendUpgradeCheck) so only one instance runs
periodic upgrade checks and auto-upgrades. Prevents duplicate
upgrade operations across replicas.

Standalone mode is unchanged (simple ticker loop).

* test: add e2e tests for backend upgrade API

- Test GET /api/backends/upgrades returns 200 (even with no upgrade checker)
- Test POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name accepts request and returns job ID
- Test full upgrade flow: trigger upgrade via API, wait for job completion,
  verify run.sh updated to v2 and metadata.json has version 2.0.0
- Test POST /api/backends/upgrades/check returns 200
- Fix nil check for applicationInstance in upgrade API routes

Ettore Di Giacinto fc5b9ebfcc feat(loader): enhance single active backend to support LRU eviction (#7535)
* feat(loader): refactor single active backend support to LRU

This changeset introduces LRU management of loaded backends. Users can
set now a maximum number of models to be loaded concurrently, and, when
setting LocalAI in single active backend mode we set LRU to 1 for
backward compatibility.

Ettore Di Giacinto 9c7f92c81f feat(p2p): automatically sync installed models between instances (#6108)
* feat(p2p): sync models between federated nodes

This change makes sure that between federated nodes all the models are
synced with each other.

Note: this works exclusively with models belonging to a gallery. It does
not sync files between the nodes, but rather it synces the node setup.
E.g. All the nodes needs to have configured the same galleries and
install models without any local editing.

Ettore Di Giacinto 089efe05fd feat(backends): add system backend, refactor (#6059)
- Add a system backend path
- Refactor and consolidate system information in system state
- Use system state in all the components to figure out the system paths
  to used whenever needed
- Refactor BackendConfig -> ModelConfig. This was otherway misleading as
  now we do have a backend configuration which is not the model config.
