Richard Palethorpe 5a0013defe test(react-ui): add page render-smoke specs, reset the coverage gate (#10122) 
The UI coverage gate was tightened to 0.1pp against a fast-local
measurement (39.86% baseline); CI's slower runners measure ~0.9pp lower,
so tests-ui-e2e failed there. UI e2e coverage is diffusely
non-deterministic and tracks machine speed — a 0.1pp band can't hold
across environments.

Rather than loosen the gate, raise the floor under it: a render-smoke
spec mounts each lazy page (navigate + assert the header renders),
covering a dozen previously-untested pages and lifting coverage from
~39% to ~42.7% locally. Restore the tolerance to 0.8pp and set the
baseline conservatively (40.0), below the slow-CI floor, so the ratchet
holds without flapping.

Document the coverage policy — install the git hooks and don't bypass
them (no --no-verify, no hand-lowering the baseline or widening the
tolerance); raise coverage by adding tests instead; set the UI baseline
below the slow-CI floor — in AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and
.agents/building-and-testing.md.

LocalAI Agent Instructions

This file is the entry point for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Aider, etc.) working on LocalAI. It is an index to detailed topic guides in the .agents/ directory. Read the relevant file(s) for the task at hand — you don't need to load all of them.

Human contributors: see CONTRIBUTING.md for the development workflow.

Policy for AI-Assisted Contributions

LocalAI follows the Linux kernel project's guidelines for AI coding assistants. Before submitting AI-assisted code, read .agents/ai-coding-assistants.md. Key rules:

  • No Signed-off-by from AI. Only the human submitter may sign off on the Developer Certificate of Origin.
  • No Co-Authored-By: <AI> trailers. The human contributor owns the change.
  • Use an Assisted-by: trailer to attribute AI involvement. Format: Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2].
  • The human submitter is responsible for reviewing, testing, and understanding every line of generated code.

Quick Reference

  • Git hooks & coverage gates: Run make install-hooks once per clone so the pre-commit lint + coverage gates run. Never bypass them with git commit --no-verify, and 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.
  • Logging: Use github.com/mudler/xlog (same API as slog)
  • Go style: Prefer any over interface{}
  • Comments: Explain why, not what
  • 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 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 — 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
  • 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
