Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 d41104a452 Merge C21 quality suites and gating
Conflicts: docs.go (manual, OpenAPI and suites all kept), modelserve Job
(trace and eval both kept). The eval routes are added to the OpenAPI route
table, update and promote documented with their optional body, and the
document regenerated.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 f0477f140d Quality suites, and new weights held to one: ctl eval, model update/promote --eval, model gate
A suite is a set of cases in YAML or JSON lines, each scored by exact,
contains, regex, a number within a tolerance, a JSON Schema subset, or a
judge model with a rubric; weighed into one score against a threshold.
internal/bench/eval runs one on the control plane through Router.Replay, as
the gateway's own requests, and keeps every run and its cases in the store
(migration 0028: eval_runs, eval_cases).

- llmgw ctl eval MODEL --suite FILE|NAME, --history, --run, --suites; exits
  non-zero below the score. Suites by name from control.eval_dir, or the
  two built in from deploy/eval (arithmetic, json-format).
- model update and promote take --eval SUITE --min-score N, or a model's
  standing gate (ctl model gate, eval: in the catalog): a promote asks the
  canary first and leaves it below the score; an update tries the new
  weights as a canary given no share, then promotes or removes it.
- The console's model menu: ask a suite with its progress, its runs, its
  gate.
- The audit middleware no longer hands a handler a body cut off at 64 KiB.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 e725adc2f0 Tracing beyond the router: reconcile passes, placement and a replica's start traced down to the node
A reconcile pass that does something is a trace, with placement (where it
went, or every candidate turned down), scale-up/down, drain, stop, eviction,
preemption, reaping and restarts beneath it. A replica's start is a span open
from placement until it serves; the start command carries its context in a
new ControlMessage.trace field, and the agent continues the trace through
the weights fetch, engine launch, rendezvous and readiness wait. Stops,
drains, adoption and engine installs are traced on the node, model jobs are
a trace with a span per step linked to the replica's start, and agent.yaml
takes the same tracing block as server.yaml. Off, every span is the no-op one
and commands carry nothing.

Members' etcd speaks TLS to peers and clients with a certificate from the
cluster's authority and asks clients for one; Patroni reaches it with the
member's certificate and serves its API over TLS. A running plain-HTTP
cluster is moved with Patroni paused, so PostgreSQL serves throughout:
Patroni's lease-free keys are carried over to the new etcd.

Without agent_tls the control plane served plaintext h2c on every

server now refuses to start that way unless agent_insecure: true, and then
binds loopback when agent_listen names only a port.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 54db7aecb7 Plan a repository's files against the fleet, and serve the one that suits it the way it fits
The control plane reads the model's shape from one GGUF header or its
config.json and lists, for every file, the best way it runs here: one card,
several of a node's (by layer for llama.cpp, tensor-parallel for vLLM),
several nodes' over one fabric (vLLM, pipeline-parallel between them), or a
CPU node; what each card holds and whether it is free now. ctl model plan
prints it; model serve takes its file and way unless told, gives a GGUF on
GPUs a GPU profile, and with --fallbacks adds the next best ways. The
console shows it per file and asks for the way and the fallback.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 44425193bd Track the registry's new weights for served models, and move a model to them or back
A model served from the registry records its origin: repository, commit and
each file's checksum; one served before is worked out from the mirror's
record of where it fetched the file. Every mirror.update_check (6h) the
control plane asks whether those files changed there. ctl model updates
lists it, ctl model update fetches beside the old files, checks, swaps and
replaces replicas one at a time, ctl model rollback goes back. The console
shows it on Models and offers the same.

server add gives another machine this llmgw, a certificate, the
configuration and store address, lets it into the store through Patroni, and
starts it; --vip keeps a floating address on the leader with keepalived,
following a new /leader endpoint. Nodes learn every control plane from the
leader and notice a dead one by HTTP/2 ping instead of after the kernel's
fifteen minutes. The setup, console, node and init screens are drawn full
screen in one frame: title bar, sidebar, bordered panel, key bar, dialogs.

init --patroni user@host ... installs PostgreSQL, Patroni and etcd on the
given machines over ssh, with this one as the third etcd vote, makes the role

first, so it changes nothing on a cluster that is up. For a store of several
hosts the control plane publishes each member's role, state and lag from
Patroni, a stopped member as missing, prints it in ctl status, and alerts on
it. Making an administrator on PostgreSQL sent a bool to an integer column;
it sends an integer now.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 4f280a3546 Give each GPU node a vLLM build it can run, chosen on the cluster page
A node that cannot run the CUDA 13 build installs the same version's
CUDA 12.9 build from vLLM's GitHub release, with PyTorch's cu129 torch;
the install computes on the GPU before it counts. The build can be
chosen per node — auto, cu13, cu129, none — on the cluster page, with
ctl engine-build, or over the admin API; the control plane keeps the
choice and tells the node at once.

Stored ctl bench results reach the reconciler: requests per replica past
the measured SLO concurrency scale a model up, a replica is taken back only
if the rest stay under 70% of theirs, and among profiles of equal priority
the most measured tokens per GPU or core is tried first. ctl model target
sizes a model for a throughput against the room there is.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 9dc1b62fdc Guarantee and limit capacity per part of the tenancy tree
A model has an owner (org, team or project). Quotas guarantee a scope
GPUs, cores and memory and may limit it; what a scope holds is summed from
its models' replicas and those beneath it. A replica within its owner's
guarantee is not taken for another scope; what is held beyond a guarantee
is borrowed and taken back for a scope within its own. A limit stops a
model before it starts, and headroom stops there too. ctl quota and ctl
model owner set them; metrics and a CapacityAtLimit alert report them.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 62657f4c2a Release v0.10.4: CPU threads, tracing, and the rest of the review
CPU replicas start on half the machine's CPUs, not all of them: two busy
llama.cpp servers each spinning on all 8 vCPUs fell to 0.8 tok/s apiece,
where at 4 threads they keep 5.5. llamacpp.threads sets it per node.

Inference requests can be traced over OTLP/HTTP (tracing.endpoint), with
admission, schedule and upstream spans and traceparent sent to the engine.

Security: onboarding no longer puts the cluster root in the system trust
store and removes it where it was; the mirror's mutual-TLS API can be
limited to named certificates (--api-client); init.log no longer keeps the
administrator's password; a warning when auth is off on a public listen;
the recorded actor is sanitised and sudo-aware; Ray's dashboard is off, and
the remaining engine gaps are documented.

reconciler.go and agent.go are split by topic, the status mapping of each
failure is tested, and the plan's checklist is brought up to date.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 bd12b0909a Serve a model from the registry with one command
Adding a model took four steps and a YAML file — plan it, fetch it into the
mirror, write its catalog entry with a memory figure somebody estimated,
scale it — and whether it would load was found out at the end.

`llmgw ctl model serve OWNER/REPO` does it as one job in the control plane,
where the registry, the mirror, the catalog and the fleet already are:

- the registry: the GGUF file set matching --quant (Q4_K_M by default) or
  --file, leaving out vision projectors and importance matrices, and naming
  what the repository does have when nothing matches; gated repositories are
  refused;
- the mirror: fetched at the repository's revision, with progress, and each
  file's sha256 compared with what the registry published — the mirror is
  the one place a corrupted download is caught once rather than loaded on
  every node;
- the check: whether the nodes' llama.cpp loads the architecture, and the
  memory it needs from its own header;
- the catalog, then a wait for a replica that stops early, with the reason,
  when the model is parked or fits on no node;
- a smoke test: one short request to the replica, with its engine key, and
  the answer and tokens per second.

ctl starts the job and prints each step as it changes; a download of hours
does not depend on the terminal. --on-demand adds the model without starting
a replica. Jobs are kept in memory until the control plane restarts.

The catalog name a repository suggests moved into the registry package, so
the mirror page and this agree on it.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 116e75f8cb Upgrade the cluster with one command, over the agents' own streams
Every upgrade so far has been a script of mine copying a binary to each
machine over ssh, restarting it and polling until it came back — which is
the job, but not something the product could do, and which needed ssh into
every node.

`sudo llmgw ctl upgrade VERSION` on the control plane does it. This machine
first: the release for its platform, checked against the release's
checksums, the old binary kept beside it, llmgw-server restarted, and a wait
until every node that was ready has reconnected. Then each node in turn: the
control plane tells its agent the version over the stream it already holds;
the agent fetches and checks the release itself, swaps it in with a rename,
answers, and exits with status 75 so systemd starts the new binary. Engines
keep running, as for any agent restart, and are adopted again.

A node is done when it is back on the new version, ready, with as many ready
replicas as before; one that is not within the timeout stops the run before
the next node, so a bad release reaches one machine. Nodes already on the
version are skipped, so running it again resumes.

The fetch-and-verify is one package now, shared with onboarding's idea of
what a release version looks like.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 1da4a2e1ef Back up the store and the certificate authority, and alert when it stops
There were no backups: docs/install.md gave a pg_dump command, and nothing
ran it. The store holds every key, person, quota and usage record, the models
added at runtime, and now the secret each engine's key is derived from; the
certificate authority's key sits in /etc/llmgw/pki beside it. Losing the disk
lost all of it.

`llmgw server backup` writes both to one archive: pg_dump's custom format, or
a VACUUM INTO snapshot for SQLite, plus /etc/llmgw. The archive holds the CA's
key, so it is 0600; the directory is listable, so the control plane — not
root — can see when the newest was written. pg_dump is given the connection
through its environment, since a DSN carries the password and a process's
arguments are readable by every user. Written beside its name and renamed,
so an interrupted backup is never the newest; the newest 14 are kept, and
nothing the command did not write is ever removed.

llmgw-backup.timer runs it nightly and catches up after downtime. The control
plane publishes the newest archive's time, and BackupTooOld fires past 26
hours — or when there has never been one. The install guide now covers
restoring, and says to copy archives off the machine, since they share its
disk.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 37a80a9b44 Park a model that fails every time it starts, and say so everywhere
On the live cluster kev-0.5b — an architecture the nodes' llama.cpp did not
know — was started 155 times in eight hours, failing the same way each time,
and phi-4, which fitted on no node, logged "no placement" 250 times in two
days. Neither showed up anywhere an operator looked: the backoff never gave
up, no metric said a model was failing or unplaceable, and the one alert for
a model with nothing serving could not fire, because its series was published
only while a replica was ready.

After five failures in a row a model is parked: not placed again until its
definition changes — a new source or profile — or `llmgw ctl retry` is run.
Status, the model list and the admin API show it with its last error. The
placement warning is logged when its reason changes or every ten minutes.

A request for a parked or unplaceable model is answered at once with why,
rather than "loading; retry shortly", which a client retries forever. Each
request still clears the previous placement result and triggers a fresh
attempt, so a model that fits once room is made is not refused on a stale
answer; the router waits for that attempt, not for its full activation
window.

Metrics now cover model health (desired, ready at 0 for what should run,
consecutive start failures, parked, unplaceable), engine installs per node,
leadership, and certificate expiry read from disk at each scrape, with alerts
for each. `ctl status` counts a model against what it should have now, so an
on-demand model that was asked for and fitted nowhere no longer reads as
satisfied.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 9853936e0b Give every engine a key only the router holds
Engines listen on every address their node has, with no key. Checked on the
live cluster: from a neighbouring node, a request straight to an engine's
port was answered — past the gateway's authentication, quotas and
accounting, by anyone who could reach the node.

Each replica's engine is now started with a key and refuses requests without
it. The key is derived from the replica id with an HMAC over a secret kept
in the store, rather than stored per replica: the router has to send the
right key to replicas this process never started — adopted after a restart,
or placed by the other control plane — and a function of a shared secret
gives that without a table to keep in step. A key taken from one node opens
that replica only. The secret is made on first use and copied with the rest
of the store when moving to PostgreSQL; a new one would lock the router out
of every running engine at the moment of the move.

The key reaches llama.cpp and vLLM through their environment
(LLAMA_API_KEY, VLLM_API_KEY) rather than their command line, which every
user on the node can read; SGLang only takes it as an argument. The agent's
readiness check, the router's proxy and its metrics scrape send it, the
client's own Authorization still never reaches the engine, and `ctl bench`
fetches the key of the replica it is pointed at from the admin API.

Engines started before this keep running without a key until their replica
is next started. With no store there is nowhere to keep the secret, and
engines start without one, with a warning.

Also formats two files that went in unformatted.

The admin listener has no login. Reaching it is meant to mean holding the

ssh tunnel — and so does every page open in that operator's browser. The
API decoded JSON whatever the Content-Type said, so a page could POST a
text/plain model definition, no preflight needed. A model's profile env
reached an engine the agent runs as root, unfiltered: LD_PRELOAD in a
definition was code execution on every node. A page that rebound its own
name to 127.0.0.1 could also read pprof's heap, which holds API keys.

The admin listener now answers only when Host is an address or localhost,
refuses requests a browser marks as cross-site (Origin, Sec-Fetch-Site),
and takes changes only as application/json, which no page can send across
origins without a preflight nobody grants. ctl sends that on every change,
bodiless DELETEs included; curl and ctl are otherwise unaffected.

Profile env that changes what runs rather than how — the dynamic loader's
LD_*, PATH, Python's PYTHON* start-up variables, BASH_ENV and their like —
is refused when a model is defined, and dropped again by the engine adapter
before the process starts, whatever sent the profile. None of the live
catalog's models sets any.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 7bb360fc78 Measure two nodes' fabric rail by rail: llmgw ctl fabric-test
doctor checks a node alone, and every check can pass while two nodes still
cannot reach each other. ctl fabric-test A B asks B's agent for an
ib_write_bw server and A's for the client, adapter by adapter as NCCL pairs
them, one rail at a time, and grades each against its link's rate. It goes
through the agents' streams, so there is no SSH between nodes; the agent
installs perftest the first time, and names the RoCE v2 GID itself.

The result is read from perftest's table by its heading, not a column
number. Agents now list the requests they answer beyond the usual
(Register.features), and the control plane refuses a test on one too old to
answer instead of waiting minutes for it. The forwarding dispatcher carries
the new capability, and its test says so: a missing forward would have made
the command quietly unavailable in production.

Not yet run over real InfiniBand or RoCE; this cluster has neither.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 20479a2d5f Find multi-node NVLink domains, place across them, and show them as racks
A GB200 NVL72 rack or an NVLink Switch system is a scale-up island: its
GPUs reach each other over NVLink whatever node they are in. Each GPU
now reports its fabric from nvidia-smi -q - state, status, ClusterUUID,
CliqueId, bandwidth - at registration and once a minute after, since a
fabric manager restarting drops every card out at once; and each node
reports nvidia-imex and its channels, without which the domain's GPUs
cannot share memory across nodes. A single machine's NVSwitch, which
reports a cluster of zeros, is no domain.

A replica spanning nodes is placed inside one domain first, on nodes
whose every card is joined and whose IMEX is up, and its shards are
told NCCL_MNNVL_ENABLE=1; InfiniBand is the fallback.

/admin/nvlink draws each domain as a rack - the NVLink Switch band on
top, light running down a backplane, trays of GPU chips that glow when
joined, pulse red when not, turn amber on degraded bandwidth - and
lists what keeps a tray out. A node's page shows its GPU-by-GPU NVLink
matrix, each card's NUMA node and nearest adapter, and its domain and
IMEX. doctor checks joining, bandwidth, IMEX and its channel; metrics
llmgw_gpu_nvlink_joined and llmgw_imex_up; /api/v1/nvlink.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 5bbc619a31 Map every InfiniBand fabric, draw it, and place replicas by it
The control plane asks one node on each physical fabric to run
ibnetdiscover every five minutes and parses the text itself, so a
format the parser has not met is a control plane upgrade, not one on
every node. From the map it works out the switch tiers (leaf, spine,
core, by distance from the adapters), which adapter is which node's,
which cables trained below the rate the rest of their kind run at, and
whether the rails line up: every node's Nth adapter on its own leaf.

A page per fabric (/admin/fabrics) draws it: switches in their tiers,
adapters fanned out under their leaves, cables coloured by rate and
bundled, degraded ones marching red with a marker, and the cluster's
own adapters live - down ports glowing red, and particles running each
cable as fast as its adapter is sending and receiving, from the
counters. It zooms, pans, fades what a hovered switch or adapter does
not touch, opens a panel of detail on a click, colours by rail, finds a
node, and refreshes every fifteen seconds. The data is also at
/api/v1/fabrics/{id}/topology.

Placement reads the map: a replica spanning nodes takes nodes of one
leaf together when it can, and nodes whose cable trained short last.

Static assets are named by their content, as the stylesheet already
was.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 daed835d88 Measure each node's CPU and memory, and give every node a page
The nodes are CPU machines, and nothing measured how busy one was: the
heartbeat carried GPU memory and disk, and llmgw_node_memory_bytes is the
total. The agent now reads /proc between heartbeats - CPU across all
cores, load averages, memory used and available, and each engine's
process group's cores and resident memory - and sends it with the
heartbeat. Nothing new runs on the nodes and Prometheus needs no new
target: the control plane exports it with the rest of the fleet, as
llmgw_node_cpu_utilization_percent, llmgw_node_cpus, llmgw_node_load,
llmgw_node_memory_used_bytes, llmgw_node_memory_available_bytes,
llmgw_shard_cpu_cores and llmgw_shard_memory_bytes. A measurement more
than a minute old is left out rather than repeated.

The cluster page's node table shows CPU and RAM as bars, and each node
links to a page of its own: current CPU, RAM, load and disk, the engines
on it with their cores and memory, and an hour of CPU, RAM, load,
per-model cores and memory and queue depth from Prometheus. It refreshes
in place.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 f13b18149a Refuse weights the nodes' llama.cpp cannot load, before fetching them
kev-0.5b declared architecture "ggmlc", which llama.cpp does not know.
It was fetched, catalogued and placed, and failed on every node — while
the answer was in the first kilobytes of the file.

internal/gguf reads a GGUF header (v1-v3) up to general.architecture,
over HTTP with a Range request, and judges it against the architectures
llama.cpp b10991 lists in LLM_ARCH_NAMES (152, copied from the source at
that tag); a vision projector is not a model on its own. An unknown
build is not refused, only not vouched for, and a header that cannot be
fetched does not refuse anything.

Checked in three places: the registry listing (from the architecture
Hugging Face reports with expand[]=gguf, so one request per repository)
shows it and withholds the fetch button; a fetch reads the header and
refuses unless "fetch anyway"; and the model service refuses to add
such a model, which covers the serve form and ctl model add.

Tried on real files: the mirror's qwen2.5-1.5b (qwen2) and bge-m3
(bert), and Qwen2.5-0.5B on Hugging Face through its redirect.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 2a381ad669 Set up a control plane with one command
`llmgw server init` does what install.md's steps 2 and 3 asked of the
operator: the llmgw user and directories, a certificate authority, the
control plane's certificate for every address the machine has, a
configuration, the default project, an administrator with a generated
password, and the systemd unit — then starts it and waits for /health.

Every step looks before it acts, so a second run changes nothing, and
--host later reissues the certificate with the old names kept. It never
overwrites server.yaml or an authority, and leaves alone certificates
issued by an authority kept on another machine.

The configuration install.md showed could not start: an empty catalog
without control.enabled is refused as having nothing to serve. The one
init writes sets it, and a test holds that.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 33e678ab84 Show a node's logs on the admin page
Seeing what a node did meant ssh through a jump host, to a machine whose
address nobody remembers, to read a journal only root may open. When an
engine install failed on a new node today, the reason was one line — and it
was four steps away from the page that said the install had failed.

Each node's row on the cluster page now links to its logs: the agent's own,
and every engine running there, chosen from the list the node itself sends.
The page can follow, refreshing every five seconds, and is on both the admin
listener and /admin. `llmgw ctl logs NODE [--source SHARD] [-n N]` reads the
same.

They travel over the stream the agent already holds, so they need nothing
the control plane does not already have: a request goes down, the lines come
back, and a reply that does not come in ten seconds is an agent too old to
answer. The agent keeps its last 2000 lines in memory as well as writing them
wherever it did before; the engines' last few hundred lines were already kept
and sent only when one crashed.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 7d97c6b74f Install a node's engines on the node, instead of trusting what is there
A node ran whatever llama-server somebody had once unpacked on it. Onboarding
checked an engine only when told its path, installed none, and a node with
nothing on it registered as ready. The one time that went wrong it went wrong
invisibly: the binary was there, executable, and could not start for want of
libgomp1, while the node reported healthy.

The control plane now says which engines every node has, at which version —
`engines:` in server.yaml, defaulting to the llama.cpp build this release was
checked against — and each agent converges on it. What only the node can
know, the node works out: the build for its processor and driver (CUDA with
its runtime when an NVIDIA driver is loaded, CPU otherwise), the OS packages
that build needs from its own package sources, and whether the result runs.
Every archive is checked against the sha256 GitHub publishes for it and
unpacked refusing any path or link that leaves the install directory. ldd
names a missing library outright; running `--version` proves the rest. Only
then is a directory marked installed, and it is checked again every ten
minutes, because an unrelated upgrade can remove a library.

An engine is reported only once installed and seen to run, or when the
agent's configuration names it on purpose — never because something happened
to be on PATH. The agent now says when it has probed, so an empty list means
"has none" rather than "too old to say": a node rebuilt from nothing is no
longer a candidate for every model at the moment it can run none of them.
Placement's refusal carries the node's own words, "installing: downloading
llama-b10991-bin-ubuntu-x64.tar.gz (16 MB)", and so do `ctl nodes` and the
cluster page, along with a warning for a CPU without AVX2 — the VM CPU type
that makes everything five times slower and nothing look wrong.

Agents also report their OS, architecture, vector extensions and NVIDIA
driver. Onboarding installs llmgw itself from the CI release for the node's
architecture, checked against the release's checksums, rather than copying
whatever binary the operator's machine had.

vLLM and SGLang are not installed yet: they are Python environments of
several gigabytes, not an archive, and still have to be named in the agent's
configuration.

Also fixes a race on the weights fingerprint, which two heartbeat loops touch
during a failover.
