chore: bump RFDETR_VERSION to ecf64d7 (current rf-detr.cpp main)

The previous pin (5d5549e) was overwritten by an amend+force-push on
rf-detr.cpp main when the video example was added. Current HEAD on
rf-detr.cpp is ecf64d7 (still single-commit 'Initial release.').

-### 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/lib/backend-filter.mjs` 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`).

-candidate scores equal and the next sort key decides, so the preference silently
-stops existing. The block comment above all three tables spells the contract out.

-Leaving your backend out is a valid choice when no ordering can be justified for
-it. It then ranks below every known engine and selection falls back to size,
-which is the behaviour that predates preference.
-
-**Leaving a whole capability out is not.** A missing row gives that host an

-support from the engine NAME, so `vllm` and `sglang` carry no darwin, cuda, rocm
-or sycl token and are never dropped on a host with no GPU. That is why `default`
-(no usable accelerator, including a GPU under the 4 GiB VRAM floor) and
-`darwin-x86` both have rows putting `llama-cpp` first. Every capability
-`getSystemCapabilities()` can return needs a row unless every engine really is

-rather than relying on them falling through unmatched: unmatched engines all tie
-with each other, so size decides among them.

-## Documenting the backend (README + docs)
-
-A backend is not "added" until it is discoverable. Update the user-facing docs:
-
-- **`docs/content/features/backends.md`** - add the backend to the right
-  category in the "LocalAI supports various types of backends" list (and add a
-  new category if it introduces a new modality, e.g. sound classification).
-- If the backend introduces a **new API surface** (a new endpoint or a realtime
-  capability), document it under `docs/content/` where its area lives (audio,
-  vision, etc.) and follow the api-endpoints checklist in
-  [api-endpoints-and-auth.md](api-endpoints-and-auth.md).
-
-**If the backend is a native C/C++/GGML engine created and maintained by the
-LocalAI team** (a from-scratch port like `parakeet.cpp`, `ced.cpp`,
-`vibevoice.cpp`, `rf-detr.cpp`, not a wrapper around a third-party runtime), it
-ALSO belongs in the top-level **`README.md`** table under "native C/C++/GGML

 ## 5. Verification Checklist
 
 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 (in `scripts/lib/backend-filter.mjs`) for C++ backends — or the PR explains why an OS is unsupported. Do not ship Linux-only by default.
 - [ ] Meta definition added to `backend/index.yaml` in the `## metas` section

Backends that load a real artefact get this for free (the load fails); backends with no artefact must gate on the name: `opus` accepts only its own name (or none), `local-store` requires the `store.NamespacePrefix` namespace marker sent by `core/backend/stores.go`.

-## Offering several builds of one model (`variants`)
-
-When the same model is published in more than one quantization, or is also
-servable by another engine, add each build as its own ordinary gallery entry and
-then point one of them at the others with `variants`:

-  variants:
-    - model: nanbeige4.1-3b-q8
-```
-
-Rules:
-
-- The declaring entry is a **complete, normal entry**. It keeps its own
-  `files`/`overrides` and stays installable on every host and by every older
-  LocalAI release, which simply ignore `variants`.
-- A variant references another gallery entry **by name**. That entry must exist
-  and must not declare `variants` of its own.
-- **A referenced entry keeps its own gallery row by default.** It is hidden only
-  in the collapsed listing (`collapse_variants=true`, which the web UI requests
-  by default), where the declaring entry stands in for it. Searching there still
-  matches the referenced entry and answers with the entry declaring it, so
-  referencing an entry never makes it unfindable; turning the collapse off
-  returns it under its own name.
-- **Order carries no meaning.** Do not try to encode a preference; write the
-  list in whatever order reads best.
-- **A variant may be smaller than the declaring entry.** Offering a downgrade
-  for small hosts is a normal shape: the declaring entry's own build competes
-  like every other candidate, so a large host keeps the large build.
-- **Do not describe hardware.** At install time LocalAI drops variants whose
-  backend cannot run on the host, then drops those that do not fit available
-  memory. The declaring entry's own build is exempt from both filters, so
-  selection always terminates on something installable. Sizes are measured live
-  from the weights and cached, so nothing has to be written down.
-- **Engine preference outranks size.** Among the builds that survive the
-  filters, the host's preferred engine wins first and only then does the larger
-  footprint win. On NVIDIA a vLLM build beats a larger llama.cpp one; on Apple
-  silicon an MLX build beats a larger GGUF one; on a host with no preference for
-  either engine the larger build wins, since a bigger footprint is a higher
-  quality quantization of the same weights. Predict what a user gets by asking
-  which engine the host prefers before asking which build is biggest. The
-  per-capability order lives in `engineNamePreferenceRules`
-  (`pkg/system/capabilities.go`); see
-  [adding-backends.md](adding-backends.md) for how a backend gets into it.
-- **Serving feature preference sits between engine and size.** Among builds on
-  an equally preferred engine, one that speculates or predicts several tokens
-  per step beats the plain build of the same weights, because it answers faster
-  for the same output: a `dflash` build beats an `mtp` one, and either beats a
-  plain build. The order lives in `servingFeaturePreferenceTokens`
-  (`pkg/system/capabilities.go`) and is matched against the entry's `tags:` and
-  **nothing else**: not the entry name, not `overrides.options`. See
-  [the tagging rule](#the-dflash--mtp-tagging-rule) below. Engine deliberately
-  outranks it: a serving feature makes the right engine faster, it does not make
-  a wrong engine right. Fit still outranks both, so a drafter pairing (strictly
-  larger than the plain build, since it ships a drafter alongside it) is dropped
-  on a host too small for it before this order is ever consulted.
-- A variant is nothing but a name; there is no per-variant memory field. When
-  the measured size for a build is wrong, correct it on the referenced entry by
-  setting that entry's own `size:` (e.g. `size: "20GiB"`). The estimator prefers
-  a declared size over its own guesswork, so the fix applies everywhere the size
-  is shown or compared rather than only to variant selection.
-
-Users can override the automatic choice with `variant` on `POST /models/apply`,
-`local-ai models install --variant`, or the `install_model` MCP tool. See
-`docs/content/features/model-gallery.md`.
-
-The gallery lint specs live in `core/gallery`, so run that suite after adding a
-`variants` list.
-
-### The `dflash` / `mtp` tagging rule
-
-**Tag an entry `dflash` or `mtp` when the entry actually configures that
-feature. Variant ranking reads the tag and nothing else.**
-
-Decide by looking at what the entry configures, in whatever vocabulary its
-backend uses:
-
-| Backend | Configures the feature when it declares |
-|---------|------------------------------------------|
-| `llama-cpp` | `overrides.options` contains `spec_type:draft-dflash` or `spec_type:draft-mtp` |
-| `ds4` | `overrides.options` contains `mtp_path:` / `mtp_draft:` |
-| `sglang` | the referenced `gallery/*.yaml` sets `speculative_algorithm:` |
-
-That check is curation-time only. `spec_type` is llama.cpp's config vocabulary,
-and a cross-backend ranking decision must not depend on one backend's option
-syntax, which is precisely why the ranker reads the tag instead of the options.
-
-Two mistakes the rule exists to prevent:
-
-- **Weights that carry the heads are not an entry that enables them.** The
-  NVFP4 GGUF entries ship MTP-bearing weights but set only `use_jinja:true`, so
-  they enable no speculative decoding and must NOT be tagged. Tagging them wins
-  them the feature axis without being any faster.
-- **A name is not a declaration.** An entry whose name spells `-mtp` while
-  configuring nothing gets no tag, and an entry that configures the feature is
-  tagged even when its name says nothing (`hy3`, `glm-5.2`). Ranking never reads
-  the name, so an untagged build that does enable the feature is simply ranked
-  as plain rather than promoted on a marker nobody meant.

 - **Browser:** the flake dev shell ships `chromium` and exports `PLAYWRIGHT_CHROMIUM_PATH`; `playwright.config.js` uses it via `launchOptions.executablePath`, and the Makefile skips `playwright install` when it's set. This avoids Playwright's downloaded browser, which can't resolve system libs (`libglib-2.0`, …) on NixOS. In CI (no `PLAYWRIGHT_CHROMIUM_PATH`) the Makefile falls back to `playwright install --with-deps chromium`.
 - The app is a React SPA, so coverage accumulates across in-app navigation within a test; a full `page.goto`/reload resets it.
 - `.nycrc.json` uses `all: true`, so **every `src/**` file is in the report**, including 0%-coverage ones — that's how you spot features with no test at all (sort the HTML report or `coverage-summary.json` by line% ascending). 
-- **UI coverage gate:** `make test-ui-coverage-check` runs the suite then `scripts/ui-coverage-check.sh`, failing if total line coverage drops more than `UI_COVERAGE_TOLERANCE` below `core/http/react-ui/coverage-baseline.txt`. `make test-ui-coverage-baseline` regenerates the baseline. Runs in CI (`tests-ui-e2e.yml`).
-- **Why it has a tolerance (unlike the strict Go gate):** UI e2e coverage is *non-deterministic*. Specs that assert on state and end while async/lazy render work is still in flight collect those lines only when the render beats the coverage teardown — so the total drifts with machine speed/load (a fast local box reads higher than a slow CI runner), diffusely across many specs. The tolerance absorbs that drift, so set the baseline *below* the slow-CI floor, never to a fast-local `make test-ui-coverage-baseline` number, or CI flaps.
-- **Raising coverage is cheap:** a *render-smoke* spec (navigate to a route, assert its header renders) mounts a lazy page and runs its full render + initial effects, capturing most of its lines in a few lines of test — see `e2e/page-render-smoke.spec.js`. Auth is disabled in the test server (`isAdmin=true`), so `RequireAdmin`/`RequireFeature` routes render without a mock. The most *deterministic* win is removing a race: make a spec `await` a rendered element before ending (see `e2e/agents.spec.js` → AgentCreate) so its lines count every run.
+- **UI coverage gate:** `make test-ui-coverage-check` runs the suite then `scripts/ui-coverage-check.sh`, failing if total line coverage drops more than `UI_COVERAGE_TOLERANCE` (default **1.0pp**) below `core/http/react-ui/coverage-baseline.txt`. `make test-ui-coverage-baseline` regenerates the baseline. **Why a tolerance (unlike the strict Go gate):** UI e2e line coverage is *non-deterministic* — async/debounced paths (e.g. the VRAM estimate's 500ms debounce) make identical specs vary ~0.5pp run-to-run, so a zero-tolerance gate would flake. Keep the tolerance just above the observed jitter. Run in CI (`tests-ui-e2e.yml`) and pre-commit on `core/http/react-ui/` changes.
 
-Rules (both gates):
-- **Don't weaken the gate:** never hand-lower a baseline or widen a tolerance to turn a red gate green. The ratchet only moves up.
-- If a change drops coverage, **add tests** (sort `coverage-summary.json` by line% ascending to find untested code) rather than editing the baseline. When coverage legitimately rises, commit the regenerated baseline (`make test-coverage-baseline` / `test-ui-coverage-baseline`).
-- The Go gate is **strict — no tolerance**; `covermode=atomic` keeps it deterministic. The UI gate keeps a small tolerance only because its e2e coverage isn't.
+Rules:
+- The gate is **strict — there is no tolerance**. Any decrease fails, regardless of how many lines a PR adds or deletes. `covermode=atomic` makes line coverage deterministic, so there's no run-to-run jitter to excuse.
+- When a change legitimately **raises** coverage, run `make test-coverage-baseline` and **commit** the updated `coverage-baseline.txt` so the ratchet moves up. Never lower the baseline by hand.
+- If you can't get coverage back to baseline, the fix is to **add tests**, not to edit the baseline.

The weekly cron is the safety net.

 This is enforced by `golangci-lint` via the `forbidigo` linter (see `.golangci.yml`); calls like `t.Errorf` / `t.Fatalf` / `t.Run` / `t.Skip` / `t.Logf` are flagged. Run `make lint` locally before submitting; the same check runs in CI (`.github/workflows/lint.yml`).
 
-## Outbound HTTP
-
-All outbound HTTP must go through `github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pkg/httpclient` rather than the standard library's default client. Use `httpclient.New(...)` (no body deadline — safe for streaming/SSE) or `httpclient.NewWithTimeout(d, ...)` (simple request/response). Both **refuse redirects by default** and set a TLS 1.2 floor.
-
-The reason is GHSA-3mj3-57v2-4636: the std default client follows redirects, and on a *cross-host* redirect Go forwards custom credential headers (e.g. Anthropic's `x-api-key`) to the redirect target, leaking the secret. `httpclient` fails closed instead.
-
-- Need to follow redirects (download CDNs, registry blobs, GitHub asset URLs)? Pass `httpclient.WithFollowRedirects()` — it still strips credential headers on any cross-host hop.
-- Have a custom transport (IP-pinned dialer, HTTP/2 tuning, a credential-injecting `RoundTripper`)? Pass `httpclient.WithTransport(rt)`, basing the transport on `httpclient.HardenedTransport()` to keep the TLS floor. Handed a `*http.Client` by a library? `httpclient.Harden(c)` applies the policy in place.
-
-This is enforced by `forbidigo` (see `.golangci.yml`): `http.DefaultClient` and `http.Get`/`Post`/`PostForm`/`Head` are flagged. The `&http.Client{}` composite literal can't be matched precisely by forbidigo without also flagging legitimate `*http.Client` type references, so that form is caught by review — don't construct raw clients.

 ## Documentation
 
 The project documentation is located in `docs/content`. When adding new features or changing existing functionality, it is crucial to update the documentation to reflect these changes. This helps users understand how to use the new capabilities and ensures the documentation stays relevant.
 
-- **Docs-with-code rule**: When you change user-facing behavior (API endpoints, CLI flags, config keys, or features), update the corresponding page under `docs/content/` in the SAME change, not as a follow-up. A user-facing change without a matching docs update is incomplete. The PR template carries a checklist item for this.
 - **Feature Documentation**: If you add a new feature (like a new backend or API endpoint), create a new markdown file in `docs/content/features/` explaining what it is, how to configure it, and how to use it.
 - **Configuration**: If you modify configuration options, update the relevant sections in `docs/content/`.
 - **Examples**: providing concrete examples (like YAML configuration blocks) is highly encouraged to help users get started quickly.

-`options: ["ssd_streaming"]`; size the routed-expert cache with

-
-ds4 supports **layer-split** distributed inference (a model too big for one host,
-split by transformer layer; the GGUF must be present on every machine, each loads
-only its slice). Topology is **inverted** vs llama.cpp: the coordinator listens,
-workers dial in.
-
-- **`ds4-worker` binary**: built and packaged next to `grpc-server` (`package.sh`
-  copies it into `package/`). Links the same engine objects plus `ds4_distributed.o`;
-  **no gRPC/protobuf dependency** (speaks ds4's own TCP transport), so it builds
-  even where `grpc-server` can't. Runs the worker serving loop (`ds4_dist_run`).
-- **Coordinator wiring**: the ds4 `grpc-server` acts as coordinator when `LoadModel`
-  `ModelOptions.Options` (from model-YAML `options:`) carry:
-  - `ds4_role:coordinator` (enables distributed mode; absent → single-node, back-compat)
-  - `ds4_layers:0:19` (coordinator's own slice, inclusive; `N:output` includes the head)
-  - `ds4_listen:0.0.0.0:1234` (address workers dial into)
-  - `ds4_route_timeout:60` (optional; seconds Predict/PredictStream wait for the route
-    to form before returning gRPC `UNAVAILABLE`; default 60)
-- **Worker CLI**: `local-ai worker ds4-distributed -- <ds4-worker args>` resolves the
-  ds4 backend and execs the packaged `ds4-worker` (raw passthrough), e.g.
-  `--role worker --model /models/ds4flash.gguf --layers 20:output --coordinator <host> 1234`.

-under that one name: the APEX imatrix rungs, the unsloth quant rungs and any
-speculative build. A separate `qwen3.6-35b-a3b-apex` hub competing with the base
-entry would split the family in two and leave whichever half the user did not
-search for effectively invisible.
-
-So the generator resolves the hub by stripping the `-APEX`, `-MTP` and `-TQ`
-markers and looking the result up in the index, trying both the repo-derived and
-the stem-derived candidate the same way `CounterpartCandidates` does. Then:
-
-- **The hub exists** (14 of the 45 repos, resolving to 10 distinct entries).
-  Nothing new is emitted for the family root. A `variants:` block is spliced into
-  the entry that is already there, textually, leaving its description, icon,
-  tags, overrides and files untouched. The line editing is shared with the
-  `variantproposals` job via `.github/ci/galleryedit`.
-- **The hub is absent** (the other 31). A new hub is emitted, named for the base
-  model and never for the APEX repo. It carries one of the discovered builds as
-  its own payload so it is a complete installable entry rather than a bare index,
-  and that payload is what gives it an `overrides.backend`. Without a declared
-  backend the verifier would skip it, so a hub carrying feature tags would escape
-  the tagging check in silence.
-
-Several APEX repos routinely resolve to one base model, so both paths accumulate
-by hub name rather than assuming one family per hub.
-
-Two references are always filtered out of a hub's list: anything the entry
-already declares, and the hub's own name. The self reference is not merely
-redundant. An unsloth rung whose weights the gallery already ships under the base
-name resolves, through the merge, straight back to the hub, and the verifier
-reads a self reference as a variant that declares variants of its own.
-
-The four hand-written `*-apex` entries (`qwen3.6-35b-a3b-apex`,
-`gemma-4-26b-a4b-it-apex`, `qwen3.5-35b-a3b-apex`,
-`nemotron-3-nano-omni-30b-a3b-reasoning-apex`) are **ordinary builds**, not hubs.
-They are referenced from their hub's variants list like any other rung, and are
-never deleted or renamed.
-
-## Flags
-
-| Flag | Default | Meaning |
-|------|---------|---------|
-| `-index <path>` | `gallery/index.yaml` | Gallery index to dedup against. Read only, unless `-apply` is passed. |
-| `-only <a,b,c>` | (all) | Comma-separated full repo names (`mudler/Foo-APEX-GGUF`) to restrict generation to. A name that matches nothing is reported as a warning, since it is a typo rather than an empty result. |
-| `-out <path>` | (none) | Write the entries to add to this file. Nothing is written to the gallery. |
-| `-apply` | `false` | Splice the variants into `-index` and append the new entries to it. |
-| `-verify <path>` | (none) | Verify a gallery index and exit. Ignores every other flag. |
-
-Either `-out` or `-apply` is required, otherwise the run has nothing to do.
-
-`-apply` splices variant lines into existing entries and **appends** new ones. It
-never re-serialises the index: it is roughly 40,000 lines, and a YAML round trip
-would reflow the whole file, drop the anchors and merge keys the gallery relies
-on, and produce a diff nobody can review. On the three-family sample the splice
-is 24 added lines across 3 hunks with zero deletions.
-
-## Discovery is by filename suffix, never by repo name
-
-Builds come from the files a repo actually publishes. A filename is never
-constructed from a repo name, because the two disagree:
-`mudler/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-APEX-GGUF` ships `gemma-4-26B-A4B-APEX-*.gguf`, and
-five other repos likewise drop a suffix (`-it`, `-2603`) or a vendor prefix
-(`NVIDIA-`) that the repo name carries. Composing a URL from the repo name would
-produce a 404 for every one of them, and the 404 would only surface after the
-entry shipped.
-
-The quality ladder is matched on the trailing tier marker, `-(I-)?(Quality|
-Balanced|Compact|Mini|Nano).gguf`. The `I-` prefix marks the imatrix ladder. The
-imatrix ladder is emitted when it is non-empty and the plain ladder is used only
-as a fallback, because two of the 45 repos publish no imatrix tiers at all and
-must still contribute. Eleven repos carry a fifth `I-Nano` rung, so nothing
-assumes a fixed number of rungs.
-
-Every run prints, per repo, the counts that discovery accounted for. If the
-number of classified files is short of the number of `.gguf` files the repo
-publishes, the shortfall is printed as `UNCLASSIFIED`. That check is a set
-difference on counts rather than a second pass over filenames: a second matcher
-would duplicate the tier regex and the two copies would drift. The failure it
-catches is quiet. A publishing-script typo that breaks every imatrix filename in
-a repo does not produce a short ladder; it makes the imatrix ladder empty, and
-the fallback then downgrades the whole family to the plain ladder with nothing
-said. A downstream HTTP check cannot catch it either, because it validates the
-URLs that were emitted, and an undiscovered tier emits none.
-
-The same reasoning applies to `UNACCOUNTED QUANT`, printed when the unsloth
-counterpart demonstrably publishes a wanted quant that produced no build. It is
-reported at discovery time because a dropped quant leaves no trace at all in the
-finished gallery file.
-
-## sha256 always comes from the API
-
-Every file stanza takes its `sha256` from the HuggingFace models API
-(`lfs.sha256`). A GGUF the API describes without one is a fatal error for that
-family: the repo is reported by name and the run ends non-zero. It is never
-substituted from another field, because that is exactly how a Xet hash ends up
-masquerading as a content hash.
-
-## The dflash / mtp tagging rule
-
-An entry is tagged `dflash` or `mtp` **if and only if** it configures the
-matching `spec_type:draft-<feature>`. Variant ranking reads tags and nothing
-else, so a tag that does not match the configuration either promotes a build
-that is no faster or hides one that genuinely is.
-
-A repo name is not configuration. `mudler/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-APEX-MTP-GGUF` ships
-weights that carry MTP heads; an entry that does not enable them is not an MTP
-entry and is not tagged as one.
-
-A generated hub inherits the tags of the build it carries as its payload, rather
-than rebuilding them from the base set, so a hub whose payload configures a
-`spec_type` stays tagged consistently with the overrides copied alongside it.
-
-## Reuse reporting: two categories, not one
-
-Generated entries are deduped against the gallery and against the batch itself.
-The run prints the result under two separate headings, because the two cases are
-not equivalent:
-
-- **URI MATCHES** mean the gallery, or an earlier entry in this batch, already
-  ships exactly these weights. Pointing the hub at the existing entry is correct
-  and needs no thought.
-- **NAME COLLISIONS** mean an entry already owns the name but holds different
-  weights. Referencing it would point the hub at a build other than the one
-  generated. Every one of these must be inspected by hand.
-
-The run then prints `HUBS SPLICED`, listing every reference that will be added to
-an entry the gallery already ships along with the line it will be added at, and
-`HUBS CREATED` for the families that get a new hub. The splices are the part a
-review has to read closely, because they modify entries somebody else wrote.
-
-Hubs are deliberately kept out of the merge. A new hub carries the family's top
-rung as its own payload, so URI dedup would fold the hub into that rung and the
-family would lose the very entry point this command exists to create.
-
-## Workflow: sample first, then the full set
-
-Never run the full generation straight into the gallery. Generate a small,
-deliberately awkward sample, have it reviewed, then run the rest.
-
-```bash
-# 1. Sample three families that between them cover the awkward shapes:
-#    a standard four-rung repo, one with the extra I-Nano rung AND a file stem
-#    that differs from its repo name, and one whose unsloth counterpart shards
-#    its quants across subdirectories.
-go run ./.github/ci/apexentries \
-  -index gallery/index.yaml \
-  -only mudler/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-APEX-GGUF,mudler/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-APEX-GGUF,mudler/Step-3.7-Flash-APEX-GGUF \
-  -out /tmp/sample.yaml
-
-# 2. Verify the sample against the gallery it would join, splices included. Apply
-#    to a COPY, never to the real index, and check that the diff is only the
-#    intended variant lines. Compare the verifier output to the gallery's own
-#    baseline: what matters is that the sample adds no new problem, not that the
-#    total is zero.
-cp gallery/index.yaml /tmp/index-copy.yaml
-go run ./.github/ci/apexentries -index /tmp/index-copy.yaml -only <same list> -apply
-diff -u gallery/index.yaml /tmp/index-copy.yaml   # expect zero deletions
-
-go run ./.github/ci/apexentries -verify gallery/index.yaml > /tmp/baseline.log 2>&1
-go run ./.github/ci/apexentries -verify /tmp/index-copy.yaml > /tmp/spliced.log 2>&1
-diff /tmp/baseline.log /tmp/spliced.log
-
-# 3. Have a human review /tmp/sample.yaml and every reported name collision.
-
-# 4. Only then, the full set.
-go run ./.github/ci/apexentries -index gallery/index.yaml -apply
-```
-
-## Tests
-
-```bash
-go test ./.github/ci/apexentries/
-```
-
-The shared line editor has its own package:
-
-```bash
-go test ./.github/ci/galleryedit/
-```
-
-`.github/ci/` is invisible to `go list ./...`, so these specs are not covered by
-`make lint` or the repository test run. `.github/workflows/ci-tools-tests.yaml`
-names the package explicitly; keep that workflow in step with any package added
-under `.github/ci/`.

 ## Quick Reference
 
-- **Coverage gates**: Never lower a coverage baseline or widen a gate's tolerance to turn a red gate green — the coverage ratchet only moves up. If a change drops coverage, add tests to raise it (e.g. render-smoke specs). See [.agents/building-and-testing.md](.agents/building-and-testing.md).
 - **Logging**: Use `github.com/mudler/xlog` (same API as slog)
 - **Go style**: Prefer `any` over `interface{}`
 - **Comments**: Explain *why*, not *what*
-- **Docs (docs-with-code rule)**: When you change user-facing behavior (API endpoints, CLI flags, config keys, or features), update the corresponding page under `docs/content/` in the SAME change, not as a follow-up. A user-facing change without a matching docs update is incomplete. See also the documentation conventions in [.agents/coding-style.md](.agents/coding-style.md).
+- **Docs**: Update `docs/content/` when adding features or changing config
 - **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).
-- **Gallery variant ranking**: a gallery entry can declare `variants` (alternative builds of the same weights), and LocalAI ranks the ones a host can run by engine preference first, size second. A new backend that should be preferred on some hardware must be listed in `engineNamePreferenceRules` in `pkg/system/capabilities.go`; the sibling `backendBuildTagPreferenceRules` speaks build tags rather than engine names, and using the wrong table matches nothing without erroring. See [.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

-### React UI tests and coverage
-
-The React UI (`core/http/react-ui/`) is covered by Playwright e2e specs, gated by a **monotonic line-coverage ratchet** (`make test-ui-coverage-check`, run in CI). The metric is non-deterministic — a fast local box reads higher than a slow CI runner for the same code — so a small tolerance is unavoidable.
-
-**If your change lowers UI coverage, raise it back by adding specs — do not widen the tolerance or hand-lower the baseline.** A *render-smoke* spec (navigate to a page, assert its header is visible) cheaply covers an entire lazy page. See `core/http/react-ui/e2e/page-render-smoke.spec.js` and the full policy in [.agents/building-and-testing.md](.agents/building-and-testing.md#react-ui-coverage).

 **LocalAI** is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required.
 
-**A small core, not a bundle.** Each backend wraps a best-in-class engine (llama.cpp, vLLM, whisper.cpp, stable-diffusion, MLX...) in its own image, pulled only when a model needs it. You install nothing you don't use.
-
-- **Composable by design**: backends are separate and pulled on demand, so you install only what your model needs
-- **Open and extensible**: load any model, or build your own backend in any language against an open interface
-- **Drop-in API compatibility**: OpenAI, Anthropic, and ElevenLabs APIs across every backend
-- **Any model, any modality**: LLMs, vision, voice, image, and video behind one API
-- **Any hardware**: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple Silicon, Vulkan, or CPU-only
-- **Multi-user ready**: API key auth, user quotas, role-based access
-- **Built-in AI agents**: autonomous agents with tool use, RAG, MCP, and skills
-- **Privacy-first**: your data never leaves your infrastructure

-# Apply the bonsai patch series to a cloned PrismML llama.cpp (prism branch) checkout.
-#
-# The prism fork branched from upstream llama.cpp before a number of API changes that the
-# shared backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp depends on. We carry those upstream commits
-# as patch files under backend/cpp/bonsai/patches/ and apply them here so the reused
-# grpc-server source compiles against the fork unmodified.
-#
-# Drop the corresponding patch from patches/ whenever the fork catches up with upstream —
-# the build will fail fast if a patch stops applying, which is the signal to retire it.
