docs(readme): announce native voice-detect + face-detect backends in Latest News

Add a Latest News entry for the new from-scratch C++/ggml biometric backends
(voice-detect.cpp + face-detect.cpp) that replace the Python insightface and
speaker-recognition backends: no Python/onnxruntime at inference, self-contained
GGUF, bit-exact parity, GPU cuDNN parity. Mirrors the parakeet.cpp /
locate-anything.cpp native-backend news entries. Refs PR #10441.

 Entries whose `dockerfile` is `./backend/Dockerfile.{llama-cpp,ik-llama-cpp,turboquant}` must also set a `builder-base-image` field pointing at a prebuilt base from `quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:base-grpc-*` (CI builds these via `.github/workflows/base-images.yml`). The mapping is by `(build-type, platforms)` — see existing entries for the pattern. CI uses these prebuilt bases to skip the gRPC compile (~25–35 min cold). Local `make backends/<name>` ignores `builder-base-image` and uses the from-source path inside the Dockerfile, so you don't need quay access for local builds.
 
-### Cover every OS the project supports (Linux **and** Darwin)
-
-`.github/backend-matrix.yml` has two matrices, and they are the source of truth for which OS a backend ships on:
-
-- `include:` — the **Linux** matrix (x86_64 + arm64; CPU and CUDA / ROCm / SYCL / Vulkan).
-- `includeDarwin:` — the **macOS / Apple Silicon** matrix (arm64; Metal where the engine supports it, otherwise a native arm64 CPU build).
-
-**A new backend must target every OS it can build for — do not ship Linux-only by default.** A backend that appears only under `include:` is silently unavailable on macOS even when its code would run there. Most C/C++/GGML engines build on Darwin out of the box (ggml defaults `GGML_METAL=ON` on Apple, so a plain build is Metal-enabled), and many Python backends do too (CPU / MPS wheels). If a backend genuinely cannot support an OS (e.g. CUDA-only, no CPU variant), state that in the PR description instead of omitting it silently.
-
-Wiring a backend into `includeDarwin:` is more than the matrix entry:
-
-1. **`includeDarwin:` entry** — `tag-suffix: "-metal-darwin-arm64-<backend>"`, `build-type: "metal"`, `lang: "go"` for go+ggml backends; omit `build-type` for the bespoke C++ ones (llama-cpp / ds4 / privacy-filter). Match an existing entry of the same shape.
-2. **`backend/index.yaml`** — add `metal:` to the backend's `capabilities` map (main and `-development`) and concrete `metal-<backend>` / `metal-<backend>-development` image entries pointing at the `-metal-darwin-arm64-<backend>` images.
-3. **C/C++ backends only** — add an `inferBackendPathDarwin` case in `scripts/changed-backends.js` returning `backend/cpp/<backend>/` (the generic fallthrough assumes `backend/<lang>/`, which is wrong for a C++ source tree driven with `lang: go`), and give `run.sh` a Darwin branch that exports `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` instead of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. If the build is bespoke (single `grpc-server` + dylib bundling), model it on `scripts/build/ds4-darwin.sh` and add a `backends/<backend>-darwin` make target plus a gated step in `.github/workflows/backend_build_darwin.yml`.
-4. **C++ proto gotcha** — if the backend compiles the generated gRPC/protobuf in a separate CMake target (e.g. `hw_grpc_proto`), that target must link `protobuf::libprotobuf` + `gRPC::grpc++` so the Homebrew include dirs propagate; otherwise macOS fails with `google/protobuf/runtime_version.h not found` (Linux hides this because apt headers sit in `/usr/include`).
-
-The CI path filter only builds a backend on a PR when a file under its directory changes, so a darwin-only YAML edit builds nothing — touch a file under `backend/<lang>/<backend>/` (a one-line comment is enough) in the same PR.

 **Step 3a: Add Meta Definition**
@@ -243,7 +225,6 @@ After adding a new backend, verify:
 
 - [ ] Backend directory structure is complete with all necessary files
 - [ ] Build configurations added to `.github/backend-matrix.yml` for all desired platforms (per-arch entries with `platform-tag` for multi-arch; `builder-base-image` for llama-cpp / ik-llama-cpp / turboquant)
-- [ ] **OS coverage considered**: added to `includeDarwin:` (macOS/Apple Silicon) if the backend can build there — with the `backend/index.yaml` `metal:` capability + `metal-<backend>` image entries, a `run.sh` Darwin/DYLD branch and `inferBackendPathDarwin` case for C++ backends — or the PR explains why an OS is unsupported.

@@ -43,5 +43,4 @@ LocalAI follows the Linux kernel project's [guidelines for AI coding assistants]
 - **New API endpoints**: LocalAI advertises its capability surface in several independent places — swagger `@Tags`, `/api/instructions` registry, auth `RouteFeatureRegistry`, React UI `capabilities.js`, docs. Read [.agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md](.agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md) and follow its checklist — missing any surface means clients, admins, and the UI won't know the endpoint exists.
 - **Admin endpoints → MCP tool**: every admin endpoint that an admin would manage conversationally (install/list/edit/toggle/upgrade) MUST also be exposed as an MCP tool in `pkg/mcp/localaitools/`. The LocalAI Assistant chat modality and the standalone `local-ai mcp-server` consume that package; drift between REST and MCP is a real risk. Read [.agents/localai-assistant-mcp.md](.agents/localai-assistant-mcp.md) — the `TestToolHTTPRouteMappingComplete` test fails until you wire the new tool and update the route map.
 - **Build**: Inspect `Makefile` and `.github/workflows/` — ask the user before running long builds
-- **Backend OS coverage**: a new backend must target every OS it can build for, not just Linux. `.github/backend-matrix.yml` has two matrices — `include:` (Linux) and `includeDarwin:` (macOS / Apple Silicon). Most C/C++/GGML and many Python backends build on Darwin too — wire the `includeDarwin` entry + `backend/index.yaml` `metal:` entries, or say in the PR why an OS is unsupported. See the darwin checklist in [.agents/adding-backends.md](.agents/adding-backends.md).
 - **UI**: The active UI is the React app in `core/http/react-ui/`. The older Alpine.js/HTML UI in `core/http/static/` is pending deprecation — all new UI work goes in the React UI

+- **June 2026**: New native biometric backends from the LocalAI team: [voice-detect.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/voice-detect.cpp) for speaker recognition and voice analysis (ECAPA-TDNN, WeSpeaker, ERes2Net, CAM++, wav2vec2 age/gender/emotion) and [face-detect.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/face-detect.cpp) for face detection, recognition, demographics and anti-spoofing (SCRFD/ArcFace, YuNet/SFace). Both are from-scratch C++/ggml engines with no Python or onnxruntime at inference, self-contained GGUF weights, bit-exact parity with the reference, and GPU cuDNN parity, replacing the heavier Python `insightface` and `speaker-recognition` backends ([PR #10441](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10441)).
 - **June 2026**: New [realtime voice assistant demo](https://github.com/localai-org/localai-realtime-demo) (a tiny Go client for the Realtime API with a full talk-back voice loop and tool calling), plus [streaming of the realtime LLM / TTS / transcription pipeline stages](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10176) and [configurable WebRTC ICE candidates](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10231).
 - **June 2026**: Big speech push: the [parakeet.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/parakeet.cpp) ASR engine gains [NeMo-faithful segment timestamps](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10207), a [multilingual streaming Nemotron-3.5 model](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10199), [dynamic batching for concurrent transcription](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10112) and [CUDA graphs](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10273); the new [CrispASR backend](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10099) adds multi-architecture ASR + TTS, and [60 Piper TTS voices across 42 languages](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10296) land in the gallery (plus [per-request TTS instructions and params](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10172)).
 - **June 2026**: New backends and models: [locate-anything.cpp](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10264) for open-vocabulary object detection via ggml, [Ideogram4 image generation](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10201) in stablediffusion-ggml, [llama.cpp video input](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10216), and the [Gemma 4 QAT family with MTP speculative-decoding pairs](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10215). Plus an [interactive CLI chat mode](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10226) and [RAG source citations in agent responses](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/10228).
