A `-development` backend variant (e.g. `cuda12-llama-cpp-development`)
shares its `alias` with the stable counterpart and is meant to be a
drop-in replacement via ListSystemBackends alias resolution. Two paths
in the auto-upgrade flow let the stable variant slip back in on top of
the user's explicit dev pick:
1. ListSystemBackends emits a synthetic alias row keyed by the alias
name that re-uses the chosen concrete's metadata pointer. In
distributed mode, the worker's handleBackendList serialised that
row over NATS as `{Name: <alias>, URI: <dev URI>, Digest: <dev>}`
— the frontend can't reconstruct the alias relationship, and the
wire-rebuilt row then carried `Metadata.Name = <alias>` and
resolved against an unrelated gallery entry on the next upgrade
check.
2. CheckUpgradesAgainst happily iterated the synthetic row in
single-node too. Today the duplicate gallery lookup is harmless
because both rows share the same `Metadata.Name`, but any gallery
change that gives a meta backend a version, or any concrete
sharing its alias with a dev counterpart, would surface a phantom
non-dev upgrade and auto-upgrade would install it — shadowing the
dev one through alias-token preference.
Two layered fixes:
- `core/services/worker/lifecycle.go` (`handleBackendList`): drop
rows where the map key differs from `b.Metadata.Name`. Concrete
and meta entries always have `key == Metadata.Name`; only synthetic
aliases violate it. Workers now report only what's actually on disk;
the per-node UI listing and CheckUpgrades both stop seeing phantoms.
- `core/gallery/upgrade.go` (`CheckUpgradesAgainst`): iterate by key,
skip rows where `key != Metadata.Name` (belt-and-suspenders for any
caller-supplied installed set), and apply the dev-aware rule —
build a set of installed `Metadata.Name`s and drop any non-dev
candidate `X` whose `X-<devSuffix>` counterpart is installed. Uses
the configured dev suffix from `getFallbackTagValues(systemState)`.
Manual `POST /api/backends/upgrade/<name>` is unaffected: it goes
straight through `bm.UpgradeBackend(name)` without consulting the
suppression list, so users who genuinely want the stable variant
upgraded can still trigger it explicitly.
Tests in core/gallery/upgrade_test.go cover three cases under
"CheckUpgradesAgainst (distributed)": dev-only installed → only the
dev surfaces; both variants installed → dev still wins; synthetic
alias row is ignored. Generic backend names are used to avoid the
capability filter dropping cuda-prefixed entries on a CPU-only host.
