-### Exception: automation operated by a maintainer
-
-The rule above addresses the common case, an AI assistant helping a human
-contributor who then signs off. It does not fit automation that a
-maintainer runs themselves, which opens pull requests with no human
-submitter to sign. Applied literally there, nothing ever signs and the
-DCO check blocks the pull request permanently.
-
-A maintainer-operated bot MUST therefore add a `Signed-off-by` trailer
-naming **the maintainer who operates it**, not the bot and not the model:
-
-```
-Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5
-Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
-```
-
-This is not the AI certifying the DCO. The maintainer is, exactly as they
-do for a commit they typed by hand: they configured the automation, they
-own its output, and they take responsibility for it when they merge it.
-The `Assisted-by` trailer still records that a model produced the code, so
-the provenance trail is unchanged.
-
-The exception is narrow and does not widen the rule for anyone else:
-
-- It applies only to automation a LocalAI maintainer operates and whose
-  output that maintainer reviews before merge.
-- The sign-off names a real person who accepts DCO responsibility.
-- An AI assistant helping an outside contributor still MUST NOT sign off.
-  That contributor adds their own trailer.
-- A bot MUST NOT sign off on behalf of anyone other than its operator, and
-  MUST NOT add a trailer for a contributor whose branch it pushes to. If
-  automation contributes to someone else's branch, it leaves the sign-off
-  to that contributor.

-## Control-plane database health metrics
-
-In distributed mode the frontend registers three OpenTelemetry gauges over the
-PostgreSQL control-plane database (`core/services/monitoring/control_plane_db.go`,
-wired in `core/application/distributed.go`). They reach `/metrics` through the
-same Prometheus exporter as the rest of the API metrics.
-
-| Metric | Meaning | Page when |
-|--------|---------|-----------|
-| `localai_control_plane_oldest_xmin_age` | Transactions elapsed since the oldest snapshot any backend still holds | above a few million, and rising |
-| `localai_control_plane_longest_transaction_seconds` | Age of the longest open transaction | above 3600 |
-| `localai_control_plane_dead_tuple_ratio` | Dead tuples per live tuple, labelled by `table`, on `backend_nodes`, `node_models` and `gallery_operations` | sustained above ~10 on a small table |
-
-A sustained high `localai_control_plane_oldest_xmin_age` is the one to page on.
-While it grows, autovacuum can reclaim nothing anywhere in the database no
-matter how often it runs, so the dead tuple ratio keeps climbing and a six-row
-registry table can reach hundreds of megabytes. Tuning autovacuum does not help.
-The fix is to find the transaction holding the horizon open and clear it:
-
-```sql
-SELECT pid, state, age(backend_xmin) AS xmin_age, now() - xact_start AS xact_age, query
-FROM pg_stat_activity
-WHERE backend_xmin IS NOT NULL
-ORDER BY age(backend_xmin) DESC;
-```
-
-Then `pg_terminate_backend(pid)` on the offenders, and `VACUUM (VERBOSE)` the
-bloated tables once the horizon has moved.
-
-**A healthy-looking xmin age does not on its own prove the horizon is free.**
-The gauge reads `pg_stat_activity`, which only sees live backends. Two other
-things pin the very same horizon and are invisible there, so either one can hold
-vacuum back while the gauge reads 0:
-
-```sql
-SELECT gid, prepared, database, transaction FROM pg_prepared_xacts;
-SELECT slot_name, active, xmin, catalog_xmin FROM pg_replication_slots;
-```
-
-An orphaned prepared transaction is cleared with `ROLLBACK PREPARED '<gid>'`,
-and a stale slot with `pg_drop_replication_slot('<slot_name>')`. Check both
-before concluding that a bloated table has some other cause.
-
-Sampling is scrape-driven behind a 30 second cache, so scrape frequency does not
-translate into database load. Failed and timed-out samples cost the same interval
-as successful ones, so a database that is already struggling is not retried on
-every scrape. A failed sample reports the last good values rather than failing the
-scrape, because these gauges matter most when the database is struggling. Before
-the first successful sample the gauges are absent rather than zero, since a zero
-xmin age would read as a healthy horizon: alert on `absent()` too if you need to
-distinguish "healthy" from "never sampled".
-
 ## Advertising surfaces — where to register a new capability
 
 Beyond routing and auth, LocalAI publishes its capability surface in **four independent places**. When you add an endpoint — especially one introducing a net-new capability like a new media type or a new auth-gated feature — you must update every relevant surface. These aren't optional: missing them means the endpoint works but is invisible to clients, admins, and the UI.

-## CUDA architecture (do not build without one)
-
-`backend/cpp/ds4/Makefile` drives upstream's **object targets** directly
-(`$(MAKE) -C ds4 ds4.o ds4_cuda.o ...`), which bypasses upstream's own guard:
-its `cuda` target refuses to build unless `CUDA_ARCH` is set, and offers
-`cuda-spark` (sm_121, DGX Spark / GB10) and `cuda-generic` (native) instead.
-Built with no `-arch`, nvcc targets its default architecture and the kernels run
-as JIT'd PTX. On GB10 that silently corrupted every prefill batch of >=128
-tokens - the model emitted text unrelated to the prompt and never closed its
-thinking block, so `content` came back empty - and cost close to two orders of
-magnitude of prefill throughput (4.21 t/s vs 325.70 t/s, same box, same model).
-Short prompts stayed correct, which is why it went unnoticed.
-
-The Makefile therefore picks a gencode list from `CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION` (a build
-arg the backend matrix already declares, forwarded by `Dockerfile.ds4`) and
-`uname -m`, and passes it as `NVCC_ARCH_FLAGS` to the sub-make. Upstream's
-`CUDA_ARCH` accepts a single value, so it cannot express the fat binary the
-shipped images need; a command-line assignment beats its `:=`. An empty
-`CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION` falls back to upstream's `native` for local developer
-builds, and an unrecognised one is a hard error - no CI runner has a GPU, so a
-silent `native` there is exactly the failure mode this guards against.
-
-`DS4_CUDA_HAVE_MXF4` is deliberately unset: upstream defines it only for
-single-arch sm_120/sm_121 builds and guards it with a plain `#ifdef` rather than
-`__CUDA_ARCH__`, so it cannot be combined with older archs. It gates an optional
-MXFP4 indexer fast path whose `#ifndef` branch returns 0, so omitting it costs
-speed, not correctness.
-
-### Verifying a build
-
-Check which flags a configuration resolves to, without compiling anything:
-
-```
-make -C backend/cpp/ds4 BUILD_TYPE=cublas CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=13 NATIVE=false \
-  --eval='show: ; @echo [$(DS4_ARCH_MAKEVARS)]' show
-```
-
-Do not use `make -n` for this: the recipe is `+$(MAKE) ...`, and the `+` prefix
-makes it run even under `-n`.
-
-Then exercise the failure mode itself against a built backend. It only appears
-above one prefill batch, so the ordinary `predict` spec cannot catch it:
-
-```
-BACKEND_BINARY=$(pwd)/backend/cpp/ds4/package/run.sh \
-BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_FILE=/path/to/ds4flash.gguf \
-BACKEND_TEST_CAPS=health,load,predict,long_prefill \

-## Design Context
-
-### Users
-
-LocalAI serves both single-host users who want to install and try models quickly and experienced developers, ML engineers, system administrators, and DevOps operators who manage production hosts or distributed clusters. The interface must support first-time discovery without hiding the runtime state, configuration, and control that returning operators need.
-
-### Brand Personality
-
-Capable, easy to use, and trustworthy. The interface should make sophisticated local-AI infrastructure feel understandable and under control. It should be direct and calm rather than playful, ornamental, or intimidating.
-
-### Aesthetic Direction
-
-Use LocalAI's established technical, editorial design language: Geist typography, compact information density, sharp geometry, deep blue-black surfaces, action blue, mint for healthy/local/live state, and amber only for decisions requiring attention. Support both dark and light themes. Avoid generic card dashboards, decorative gradients, glass effects, and visual noise.
-
-### Design Principles
-
-1. Use progressive disclosure to serve newcomers and operators in the same workflow: make the common path obvious, then reveal operational depth in context.
-2. Organize navigation around user intent and lifecycle state, not implementation concepts or nested containers.
-3. Give each resource one canonical home; expose discovery, installed state, and runtime state as clear views of that resource instead of duplicating management surfaces.
-4. Keep operational status visible and trustworthy through precise labels, explicit scope, and actionable state—not decoration.
-5. Preserve information density for expert use while flattening navigation and reducing repeated summaries, tabs, rails, and panels.

-# nvcc must be told the target architecture explicitly for a cublas build, and
-# this is not a tuning knob. Upstream's Makefile leaves CUDA_ARCH empty and its
-# `cuda` target REFUSES to build without one, offering `cuda-spark`
-# (CUDA_ARCH=sm_121) and `cuda-generic` (CUDA_ARCH=native) instead. We drive its
-# object targets directly, which bypasses that guard: nvcc then compiles with no
-# -arch at all, and the kernels run as JIT'd PTX for its default architecture.
-# On GB10 (sm_121) that silently produced corrupt inference output above a
-# ~128-token prefill batch and ~77x slower prefill (4.21 t/s vs 325.70 t/s,
-# measured on the same box with the same model). No CI runner has a GPU, so
-# `native` has nothing to enumerate there.
-#
-# Upstream's CUDA_ARCH takes a SINGLE value (see its sm_120/sm_121 special cases
-# and the `-arch=$(CUDA_ARCH)` fallback), so it cannot express the fat binary
-# these images need. NVCC_ARCH_FLAGS is overridden instead: a command-line
-# assignment wins over the `:=` in upstream's Makefile, and its NVCCFLAGS
-# expands whatever we pass.
-#
-# The architecture lists are copied from backend/go/vllm-cpp/Makefile rather
-# than invented, so the two CUDA images cover the same GPUs: amd64 datacenter +
-# consumer, and l4t/arm64 covering Orin (87), Thor (110) and GB10 (121a).
-#
-# -DDS4_CUDA_HAVE_MXF4=1 is deliberately NOT set. Upstream only defines it for
-# single-arch sm_120/sm_121 builds and guards the code with a plain #ifdef
-# rather than __CUDA_ARCH__, so it cannot be combined with older archs in one
-# fat binary. It gates an optional MXFP4 indexer fast path whose #ifndef branch
-# returns 0 and falls back to the generic path, so omitting it costs some speed
-# on GB10, not correctness. Revisit if upstream adds __CUDA_ARCH__ guards.
-#
-# An EMPTY CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION means a local developer build, not CI: fall back
-# to upstream's own `native` handling, which needs a GPU present but is what a
-# developer building on their own machine wants. Both variables are `?=` so an

+# Carries the server-side half of ggml-org/llama.cpp#26603 (POST /tts), which
+# adds SERVER_TASK_TYPE_TTS to the shared server_context. LocalAI's gRPC
+# adapter rides on that same server_context and cannot drive the mtmd gen-audio
+# loop directly: server_context owns the llama_context and schedules slots on
+# its own thread, so a handler calling llama_decode would corrupt state.
+#
+# The upstream HTTP route (tools/server/server.cpp) and the README/CLI hunks are
+# intentionally excluded - LocalAI does not serve llama.cpp's HTTP surface.
+#
+# Rebased against LLAMA_VERSION 9de0fcf2b with 0001-add-server-task-type-score.patch
+# already applied: the SERVER_TASK_TYPE_TTS case in the tokenize switch lands
+# after the SCORE case that patch adds, so this patch must stay second in ls order.
+#
+# Three fixes on top of the draft, all ours, all candidates to send back to #26603:
+#
+#  1. Its lone SRV_WRN call passes only a format string, but the macro expands
+#     __VA_ARGS__ without the GNU comma-elision extension, so the expansion ends
+#     in a trailing comma and does not compile. The "%s" wrapper added here is the
+#     same idiom upstream already uses for its other argument-less SRV_WRN calls;
+#     drop it if the draft fixes the call before it merges.
+#
+#  2. The slot.prompt_clear() added to the SERVER_TASK_TYPE_TTS branch of
+#     launch_slot_with_task. Without it only the FIRST TTS request in a server
+#     process succeeds and every later one fails instantly in step_prompt. TTS
+#     slots never enter the shared batch (pre_decode() returns early for them and
+#     process_tts_slots() drives them), so they skip the prompt-cache bookkeeping
+#     that would otherwise clear the sequence between requests; meanwhile the
+#     gen-audio pipeline always decodes from position 0 and its reset() only
+#     clears host-side buffers, never the KV cache. The result is that request 2
+#     decodes over request 1's tokens. This one is a genuine defect in the draft,
+#     not a LocalAI integration artifact, and should be reported upstream.
+#
+#  3. The is_supported() guard in server_slot::tts_ctx::reset(). The draft calls
+#     mtmd_helper_gen_audio_reset() unconditionally, but it only ever init()s the
+#     gen-audio pipeline for models that carry a gen-audio mmproj, so the handle
+#     stays null for every ordinary model. Upstream's implementation
+#     (tools/mtmd/mtmd-helper-gen.cpp) reads ctx->pipeline before it null-checks
+#     anything, so the slot-init call to server_slot::reset() segfaults the
+#     process on any non-TTS model - which is every chat model LocalAI loads
+#     through this backend. The missing null check on mtmd_helper_gen_audio_*
+#     is upstream's bug, so carry this guard until they add one, even if the
+#     draft's own reset() call is fixed.
+#
+# REMOVE THIS PATCH once #26603 merges upstream and LLAMA_VERSION is bumped past
+# the merge commit. It exists only because that PR is still a draft. If it merges
+# without fixes 2 and 3 above, those hunks still need carrying.
