Plamen K. Kosseff 7b9ef6a0f8 feat(backends): --disable-backend-install disables backend downloads. (#12754)
feat(backends): --disable-backend-install refuses every backend acquisition

A hardening switch for deployments that must run exactly the backend set they
were tested with (production, air-gapped, immutable images, package-managed
hosts). With LOCALAI_DISABLE_BACKEND_INSTALL=1 every install and upgrade path
refuses — gallery, OCI/URL/path, node-scoped, auto-upgrade, boot-time external
backends — HTTP routes answer 403 up front, and a model whose backend is
missing is refused before any download: 409 on the API, an error on preload
and import. Whether a backend is present is asked of the execution target:
the local backend directory on a single node, the workers' listings on a
distributed frontend, which installs nothing itself. Backends already
present, including system-path ones, keep working.

// Config is the configuration for the distributed agent worker.

// Field tags are kong/kong-env metadata read by core/cli/worker.go's WorkerCMD,
// which embeds Config; this package does NOT import kong and the tags are inert

//
// Workers are backend-agnostic — they wait for backend.install NATS events
// from the SmartRouter to install and start the required backend.
//
// NATS is required. The worker acts as a process supervisor:
// - Receives backend.install → installs backend from gallery, starts gRPC process, replies success
// - Receives backend.stop → stops the gRPC process
// - Receives stop → full shutdown (deregister + exit)
//
// Model loading (LoadModel) is always via direct gRPC — no NATS needed for that.
