A model whose profiles run engine comfyui is placed on a node's card like
any other, and makes pictures there. ComfyUI asks for no key, so the agent
starts it behind llmgw comfyui-gate: ComfyUI on the loopback, the gate on
the replica's port demanding the replica's key and letting through only
what the router asks — queueing, waiting, fetching, cancelling. The gate
answers the agent's /health and /v1/models, shows ComfyUI the fetched
weights by their own names, and gives each replica its own base directory.
ComfyUI runs as the gate's child, so its card memory is the replica's.
A node offers the engine when agent.yaml names its ComfyUI
(engines.comfyui.dir). The model's comfyui: block names the workflow and,
for a source that is a set of files, the checkpoint.

/images offers the models that make pictures, and the chat no longer
offers them. Like the chat, the browser holds a session and never a key;
the page's request is rebuilt from its own fields and sent down the path
every /v1/images/generations request takes. Size, how many, seed, steps
and a negative prompt; each picture shown with its seed, a download link
and a way to make it again. Nothing is kept but the usage. The menu
offers the page while some model makes pictures.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

Qwen3-Embedding and models like it are trained with an instruction on the
query side only. The prefix goes before the question a knowledge-base
search embeds, at answer time and in the admin API's search; documents
reach /v1/embeddings from llmgw-kb as they are.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
llmgw-kb sends many passages in one /v1/embeddings request. Their sizes
were added together and compared with the context, so a batch of passages
that each fit was refused as one over-long prompt. The longest input is
what has to fit; the total still counts for usage and limits.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
An adapter now has an owner (org, team, project, user or key): only callers
there see it, and to anyone else it is a model that does not exist, absent
from /v1/models too. A training job's owner defaults to the one collection
its pairs come from, must be able to read every collection they come from,
and pairs from a knowledge base are never made public. ctl train publish
keeps the GGUF or PEFT files on the mirror, which accepts uploads now, and
sets the owned adapter after the usual architecture check.
The knowledge bases' cache_salt follows the collections searched rather
than the organization, so two teams of one organization no longer share
cached passages.

/admin/settings edits the document llmgw ctl config edit opens: checked as a
control plane would load it, refused when made from a version since replaced
(the edit kept), its history viewed and rolled back as a new version, every
change audited by size and never by contents, since it can hold webhook
secrets. Administrators only; in English and Turkish.

A request given passages carries a cache_salt derived from its organization
when the replica chosen is vLLM, so how fast an answer starts cannot say what
another tenant's documents held. Other engines are not sent the field.

A Documents picker on /chat offers the collections the person may read in
the chosen project, the default when there is one, or none; the sources an
answer was given are listed under it. The page's choice becomes the
X-Llmgw-Knowledge header; one the page sent itself is dropped. In English
and Turkish.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
On an organization, team, project or key, the narrowest winning: llmgw ctl
kb default, POST /api/v1/kb/defaults, and the console's Knowledge screen. A
request's own X-Llmgw-Knowledge overrides it and none turns it off. A default
never refuses a request: a collection the caller cannot read is left out, and
a failed search answers without passages. Removing a collection takes it out
of every default.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A request naming collections in X-Llmgw-Knowledge has its last question
embedded on the caller's account, the best passages found and added to the
system message, numbered, with an instruction to cite them and to say when
they do not hold the answer; x-llmgw-sources says which were given. Done
before the guardrails judge the request, never served from the answer cache,
and a collection the key may not read is answered as one that does not
exist. Metrics llmgw_kb_retrievals_total and llmgw_kb_retrieval_seconds.

Its own binary for Windows, macOS and Linux, carrying no server code. It reads
the files there, cuts them, has the gateway embed them with the person's key
and sends text and vectors for what changed only: a SQLite ledger on the
machine remembers each document's file, size, time, digest and what happened,
so a rerun reads nothing unchanged, a file skipped stays skipped until
--retry, and --delete removes only what this machine sent under the paths
given. --dry-run says what would leave the machine. Commands: login,
collections, sync, status, history, formats.

What llmgw-kb, run by a person with their own key, reads and writes. A
collection the key may not read answers as one that does not exist; writing
needs ownership or a write grant on the key's chain; a personal key names its
project in X-Llmgw-Project and must be a member of it. Changes are audited by
document name.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
guard.enabled (unset is on) makes every policy check nothing while false,
live: llmgw ctl guard off/on set it in the cluster's settings, and ctl
status, ctl guard list and the guardrails page say when they are off.
A refusal by a judge names the hazard it saw - judge: S6,Specialized
Advice - and the verdict is kept with the request in a new usage column,
guard_rule, shown by ctl request, the request log and the guardrails page.
llmgw ctl guard judge ask has a judge read a text, past the cache, and shows
its raw answer and how it is read; the endpoint is kept out of the audit so
no text is recorded.

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.

A --context-length 32768 --ctx-pool 32768 model got llama.cpp's default four
slots of 8192, and refused what the gateway admitted; --parallel is now
what the pool holds of the context. max_output was 1024 for every model,
which cut an editor's agent off mid-file; it is now a quarter of the
context, from 1024 to 8192. --tools writes capabilities.tools, which the
Continue configuration now reads, as it reads max_output.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
It told Continue every model uses tools and nothing of its context: a model
whose calls come back as text stalled Continue's agent, and Continue sent
prompts far over a CPU replica's 4096 tokens, each refused. tool_use is now
written for a model whose catalog entry says tools, and the context length
with a fitting maxTokens whenever the catalog knows 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A vLLM model can carry PEFT adapters, registered at start, or with
max_loaded_adapters held at most N per replica: the router loads an adapter
through vLLM's runtime LoRA API when a request first wants it, sends the
adapter's requests to a replica that holds it while that one is not
saturated, loads each cold adapter once, and unloads the least recently used
idle one to make room. llama.cpp keeps loading every adapter at start.

The router read SGLang replicas with vLLM's names, and SGLang was started
without --enable-metrics, so it served no /metrics: every scrape failed as
if unreachable and the replica was routed to blind. It now gets
--enable-metrics and a mapping of its own (sglang:num_running_reqs,
num_queue_reqs, token_usage, the token counters and num_requests_total, as
0.5.21 publishes them). engine-check asks python -m sglang.launch_server
--help instead of Python's own help, and SGLang is given --tp-size rather
than the --tp argparse only takes as an abbreviation.

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.

Engine trtllm runs trtllm-serve on one node, through a launcher of
llmgw's that demands the replica's key and turns on the Prometheus
endpoint its queue and cache gauges are read from; the router reads it

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
