auth.pricing takes per_image, charged on top of a prompt's tokens; a model
priced only per picture is not free, so a spent budget still stops it.
Each usage row keeps how many pictures were made (migration 0041), and
ctl request and the admin API's request view show them.

An external model with api: comfyui is a ComfyUI server. A request for
pictures goes through the same key, allowlist, limit, admission and guard
checks as any other; at the replica it becomes a workflow — a built-in
(flux-schnell, flux-dev) or a JSON file in API format, with {{prompt}},
{{width}}, {{seed}} and the like filled in — queued, waited on, and its
pictures sent back as b64_json. A client that leaves takes its workflow
off the queue or interrupts it. ComfyUI is never scraped for metrics.

agents.default and agents.nodes.<id> in the cluster's settings hold
everything agent.yaml can say but the agent's id, control planes, address and
certificate, which stay in the file and are refused there. The control plane
sends each node its settings on register and, a second apart, when they
change; an agent whose settings changed checks they load beside its file,
keeps them and starts again on them, engines serving throughout. An edited
agent.yaml that loads restarts the agent too. History, audit, ctl config, the
console and the portal's settings page cover them as the rest of the
settings.

Issue #3 asked for commands to stop and start the system, and 05aa21c gave
only one machine's services. Now:
- llmgw stop sets serving.stopped in the cluster's settings, live: the
reconciler wants every model at no replicas, freeing every GPU, and the
gateway answers every POST under /v1/ with 503 system_stopped. The control
planes, agents and mirror keep running, and no model's definition changes.
- llmgw start clears it; every model is placed again as it asks.
- llmgw restart has every agent restart over its stream (RestartAgent), then
the other control planes over ssh, standbys before a leader, then this
one; engines keep serving.
- llmgw status is the cluster's summary, saying when it is stopped.
One machine's services moved to llmgw service status|start|stop|restart.

/forgot mails a link to set a new password when the cluster's mail settings
say how - SMTP relay, sender, and the public base_url the link points at,
never the request's Host - and says the same whether or not the address has
an account. /reset sets it once, closing every session. Links are kept by
their hash in password_resets, good for an hour, a newer one replacing an
older. Without mail, /forgot says to ask an operator, and llmgw users
reset-link makes the link to hand over. Single sign-on accounts get none.

firewall.enabled (default true) is a cluster setting, applied live: the
leader sends a Firewall message to every agent when it registers and when
the setting or firewall_networks changes, and the agent (root) takes llmgw's
nft table out or installs it. A control plane writes the state to
/var/lib/llmgw/firewall.json, which llmgw-firewall-sync.path applies as root
with `llmgw firewall sync`; server init and server add install the units,
`llmgw firewall sync --install` on one set up before. node add and server
add put no firewall on a machine while the setting is off.
`llmgw wipe` removes llmgw from a machine after listing what goes and asking
for its name: units, engines' processes, the nft table, /etc/llmgw,
/var/lib/llmgw, the agent's state, the sudo grant, the CA from the trust
store, keepalived's configuration when llmgw wrote it, and the users.
--models, --store (Patroni member, etcd, or the local database) and --all
take more. The console has it under Do.

Everything in server.yaml that is not one machine's own is now a versioned
document in the store (cluster_settings), the same on every control plane.
The first start against a store imports the file's cluster keys, with the
baseline guard policy when there is none; after that those keys in a file
are ignored, with a warning.
Each control plane polls the document's version and its own server.yaml's
hash. A change is validated and applied: guard live (Gate.Replace), anything
else by a graceful restart that systemd brings back, standbys first and the
leader 30s later. A version that does not load on a machine is not applied;
at start the newest one that loads is used, so a bad edit cannot keep every
control plane down.
llmgw ctl config show/get/set/unset/edit/history/rollback, the admin API
under /api/v1/settings, and the console's Settings screen, which layers the
store's document over the machine's file, write it. Commands beside the
control plane that read cluster keys (init, node add, server add, backup,
upgrade) read the layered configuration; init --bundle writes offline to
the store once it holds the settings.
A standby that becomes the leader re-reads models, engine choices and
facility holds from the store.
Retires appendGuardIfMissing: the import does it.

ctl federation add/list/remove/sync keeps peers in the store (migration
0029); their /v1/models are offered here as external models named
PEER/MODEL and kept in step, a model still named by a fallback kept
withdrawn. Peers are checked at /ready, timed, and taken out of routing
while down. Requests to a peer carry x-llmgw-hop and are refused (508) when
they come back to a cluster they passed through; residency and no_store
keep requests off peers; X-Request-Id and, with --send-tags, attribution
tags go along. ctl model fallbacks sets overflow to a peer. Console view,
metrics, admin API routes and docs.

Plan §7.5 tier 2, opt-in per profile with kv_events. The agent starts vLLM
publishing KV cache events to a loopback port it listens on (pure-Go zmq4,
msgpack in both of vLLM's encodings), with sha256_cbor hashing and a fixed
PYTHONHASHSEED; it mirrors each engine's blocks and sends net changes up the
existing stream, with a full copy on every new one and a reset on gaps,
restarts and clears. The control plane hands them to the router, for the
sending node's own replicas only. The router tokenizes through a replica's
/tokenize, hashes the tokens as vLLM does (checked against cbor2/hashlib
golden values), and scores replicas by the share of leading blocks held,
falling back to the approximate tree. New metrics beside
llmgw_prefix_decisions_total. Untested against a running vLLM.

Nodes say where they are with llmgw.io/site, room, row, rack and pdu labels,
from agent.yaml or `llmgw ctl label` (kept in the store, over the agent's).
Placement spreads a model's replicas across racks and PDUs, keeps a
multi-node replica within one domain when its profile says keep_within,
places nothing in a domain held with `llmgw ctl facility hold` (optionally
draining it), and refuses a shard that would take a domain past its power
cap from facility.budgets, counting declared, derived and measured draw.
Explain-placement names the domain, and keeps the rejections of a placed
replica; `ctl nodes` gains LOCATION and --domain; `ctl facility` lists the
domains; the console's Nodes view shows and sets location and holds.

A bundle carries what a cluster would download — llmgw's release with its
signed checksums, every llama.cpp build per architecture with GitHub's
checksums, model files pinned and checked against Hugging Face's — into a
directory or a tar whose manifest sha256 is carried apart. Import checks
everything, the release against the signing key, before anything is put in
the mirror. With offline.mirror set, nodes install llama.cpp from the
mirror against checksums the control plane holds and sends over the agent
stream; releases default to the mirror for node add, ctl upgrade and agent
upgrades. server init and the setup form install from a bundle.
The Helm chart runs one control plane with SQLite on a claim or an external
PostgreSQL, Secrets for the agent certificate and admin token, Services,
Ingress and ServiceMonitor; deploy/container/Dockerfile builds its image.
GPU nodes stay outside Kubernetes, as docs/kubernetes.md explains.

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.

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.

llmgw keys cache --project P --ttl 1h [--any] | --off, and Cache answers… on
the console's project menu. The same request — project, endpoint, canonical
model and the body without stream, stream_options, user, metadata, store and
service_tier, keys sorted — is answered from the gateway's memory for the
TTL. Only reproducible answers (temperature 0 or a seed; embeddings, rerank,
score) unless --any; only a whole 200 from the model asked for, not a
fallback's, a canary's, or one a guardrail changed.
Looked up after the limits and the input guardrails; the output policy
judges a reused answer; no_store and stored conversations bypass it.
Streamed answers are kept put back together and streamed back as chunks.
x-llmgw-cache: hit|miss|bypass, Age on a hit, Cache-Control: no-cache or
x-llmgw-cache: no to bypass. A hit is recorded with no tokens and no cost,

llmgw_cache_bytes, llmgw_cache_entries.

Public by default; landing.docs_sign_in sends visitors to sign in first.

Without agent_tls the control plane served plaintext h2c on every

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.

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.

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.

The first backup on the live control plane was written, and the control
plane reported none: /var/backups/llmgw already existed, made by an earlier
move to PostgreSQL for its own dumps, owned by postgres and 0700. MkdirAll
leaves an existing directory as it is, so the archive landed where the
llmgw user could not list it, and llmgw_backup_last_success_timestamp_seconds
said 0.
Opening that directory up would have exposed the dumps already in it, so
backups get their own, /var/backups/llmgw-server. And `llmgw server backup`
now warns when the directory it wrote to is one the control plane cannot
list, rather than leaving that to be found from an alert.
