21c5495a99 feat(vllm-cpp): add GLiNER2.5 NER via TokenClassify (#12140)
* feat(vllm-cpp): add GLiNER2.5 NER via TokenClassify

Wire the vllm-cpp backend to the C ABI NER surface (vllm_gliner_ner,
ABI v27) so LocalAI can serve zero-shot named entity recognition through
the existing TokenClassify gRPC method.

backend.go: TokenClassify method on *VllmCpp calls vllm_gliner_ner with
the text and labels, copies the C-owned entity array into protobuf
TokenClassifyEntity messages, and frees the result.

govllmcpp.go: cNerEntity and cNerResult Go POD mirrors matching the C
structs; vllmGlinerNer and vllmNerResultFree purego bindings; abiVersion
bumped 26 -> 27.

options.go: ner_labels, ner_threshold, ner_max_width parsed from
engine_args.

pkg/grpc: ClassifyModel interface and TokenClassify server handler
(follows the Embedding locking pattern).

core/config: vllm-cpp backend declares MethodTokenClassify and
UsecaseTokenClassify.

docs/content/features/vllm-cpp.md: NER section documenting the
engine_args keys and the host-forward contract.

* fix(vllm-cpp): correct NER pointer lint directive

Use the govet directive for the C-owned NER array, matching the other
purego pointer conversions. The array remains valid until its deferred
free; the misspelled directive caused CI to flag this conversion.

* feat(vllm-cpp): add kev-compatible SystemOne API endpoints

Add POST /v1/systemone, /v1/systemone/permute, and
/v1/systemone/separate to LocalAI, mirroring the kev project's
structured-extraction API. Each endpoint runs zero-shot NER over the
rendered state text and builds kev-compatible answers for three question
types: noul (binary entity presence), choice (pick one option), and
score (pick one level).

The TokenClassifyRequest proto gains a `repeated string labels` field so
each question can supply its own labels at inference time, and
TokenClassifier gains TokenClassifyWithLabels for per-call label
selection. The vllm-cpp backend uses request labels when non-empty,
falling back to configured ner_labels then the built-in defaults.

Helpers (renderState, softmax, choiceConfidence, scoreConfidence, r2)
are ported from kev/api.py and mirrored in vllm.cpp's api_server.cpp so
both servers produce the same answer shape.

* fix(vllm-cpp): suppress gosec G404 on seeded permutation RNG

The SystemOne permute endpoint uses math/rand with a caller-supplied
seed for reproducible option permutations, matching kev's random.seed.
gosec flags this as G404 (weak RNG). Add #nosec with a comment naming
the intent: this is reproducibility, not cryptography.

* chore(vllm-cpp): bump vllm.cpp pin to GLiNER2.5 merge commit

Advance VLLM_CPP_VERSION from f3cd97e to 5058268d, the commit that
landed GLiNER2.5 zero-shot NER support (PR #3224) in vllm.cpp. This
brings the DeBERTa v2 encoder, GLiNER2 boundary head, C ABI NER
functions, and server endpoints into the LocalAI vllm-cpp backend.
The ABI version (27) and Go struct mirrors already match.

* fix(vllm-cpp): use instruction text as NER label in SystemOne handler

The SystemOne handler was passing question IDs as NER labels for noul
questions and bare key names for choice questions, so the model never
matched any entities. Port the label mapping from vllm.cpp's
ParseSystemOneBody:

- noul: use the rendered instructions field (with instr alias) as the
  NER label, not the question ID
- choice: use optionText(name, desc) — "name: description" or "name"
  when the description is null/empty — not the bare key
- score: already correct (rendered criteria text)
- permute: shuffle indices and build parallel key/label arrays so the
  NER call uses the optionText labels while the response is keyed by
  the original option names

Also add the instructions field to the SystemOneQuestion schema struct
(accepted alongside the instr backward-compat alias).

Verified end-to-end against the real GLiNER2.5 model: noul questions
now find "Apple Inc. is" (organization, 0.999) and "Tim Cook is"
(person, 0.852) where they previously returned zero entities.
