* feat(ds4): add standalone ds4-worker distributed worker binary Add worker_main.c, a minimal standalone worker that owns a slice of the model's transformer layers and serves activations over ds4's own TCP transport via ds4_dist_run(). It links the same engine objects the backend already builds (including ds4_distributed.o) and has NO gRPC/protobuf dependency, so it builds even on hosts lacking protobuf/grpc dev headers. Launched by `local-ai worker ds4-distributed`. Wire the ds4-worker CMake target (mirrors grpc-server's object/GPU/native handling) and have the Makefile copy + clean the binary alongside grpc-server. Ignore the built ds4-worker artifact.

Distributed inference is an engine backend: when LoadModel receives 'ds4_role:coordinator', the process populates ds4_engine_options.distributed (role, layer slice, listen host/port) before ds4_engine_open, then the normal ds4_session_* generation path runs transparently once the worker route covers all layers. - New LoadModel options: ds4_role, ds4_layers (START:END or START:output), ds4_listen (host:port), ds4_route_timeout. - parse_layers_spec() maps the layer spec onto ds4_distributed_layers. - wait_route_ready() blocks generation until ds4_session_distributed_route_ready() reports full coverage (or timeout), gating both Predict and PredictStream; returns UNAVAILABLE on timeout/error. - No ds4_role => g_distributed stays false and wait_route_ready is a no-op, so single-node behavior is unchanged.

Unlike worker_llamacpp.go, ds4 bundles its own dynamic loader (lib/ld.so) for glibc compatibility, so when present we exec ds4-worker through that loader with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<backend>/lib, mirroring backend/cpp/ds4/run.sh; otherwise we exec it directly.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 [Claude Code] * docs(ds4): document layer-split distributed inference Add a ds4 section to the distributed-mode feature docs (coordinator model YAML, manual worker command, layer-range semantics, the 'GGUF on every machine' requirement, coordinator-listens dial direction vs llama.cpp) and a terse Distributed mode section to the ds4 backend agent guide. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 [Claude Code] * test(ds4): opt-in hardware-gated distributed e2e spec Add a self-contained, opt-in Ginkgo spec to the backend e2e suite that spins a ds4 coordinator (via the packaged run.sh, loaded with ds4_role/ds4_layers/ds4_listen options) plus a ds4-worker process for the upper layers, then uses Eventually to assert a short successful Predict once the layer route forms, before tearing the worker down. Gated by BACKEND_TEST_DS4_DISTRIBUTED=1 (plus the existing BACKEND_BINARY + BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_FILE and optional layer/listen/accel knobs); compiles and skips cleanly with no env, hardware, or model.

The nvcc-built ds4_cuda.o (and Obj-C++ ds4_metal.o) reference the C++ runtime, so the CUDA/Metal builds failed with undefined libstdc++ symbols (std::__throw_length_error). The CPU build passed because ds4_cpu.o is pure C. Force LINKER_LANGUAGE CXX so libstdc++ is linked.
