G3, the part that needs no model: a ComfyUI model's comfyui.output (or
external.output) says pictures or meshes. A request for a 3D model — a
job at /v1/3d/generations — carries the picture as base64; at the replica
it is uploaded to ComfyUI's input directory (the gate lets /upload/image
through), the workflow is filled in with its name, the seed and the
resolution, and the mesh the workflow saves comes back with its type,
which is the file the job keeps. comfy.Client reads every list of files an
output names, not "images" only, and types a file by its extension where
ComfyUI sends octet-stream.
A model's license (name, url, notice) is said in /v1/models and in the
job, and written into a GLB's asset.extras, since the file travels without
the API; a mesh it cannot be written into is refused. per_mesh in
auth.pricing, usage.meshes in the rows, the sums and the export
(migration 0045). A picture asked of a mesh model, or a mesh of a picture
model, is refused saying which it makes.

The catalog had one source a model, so an embedding model served by vLLM
from its repository on a card and by llama.cpp from a GGUF on CPUs had its
entry swapped by hand halfway through the metallurgy import. A profile's
source is what its engine loads and placement looks for; the model's is
the default, and what updates and canaries move. ctl model add checks
every source, the GGUF check reads each llama.cpp profile's, and ctl
weights collects none a profile loads. An empty source leaves a profile's
fingerprint as it was, so running replicas do not read as stale.

A knowledge-base import sends far more than the cluster can take at once,
and every band waited the same 30 s. A band now has its own queue_ttl, so
one for bulk work waits behind people instead of being turned away.
And a request turned away because the cluster stayed busy — the queue
full (503) or waited as long as its band may (504) — now carries
Retry-After: 10. Without it llmgw-kb, which retries only what says when
to, counted each such passage as failed; that is what turned parts of the
metallurgy import away.

POST /v1/3d/generations answers 202 with a job; GET says its status,
progress and result file; cancel stops it in the engine's queue too. The
request is kept as sent and replayed by whichever gateway holds the lease
through the path a client's request takes, so it is charged and judged
like any request (tagged job=<id>), and a model still loading is waited
out for as long as the job has. Migration 0044. Nothing makes 3D models
yet; the door refuses every model until the ComfyUI adapter learns meshes.

The five-minute, hourly and daily sums gain images (migration 0042), and
the CSV and JSON exports a column for them: once request rows were past
their retention, an export said what pictures cost but not how many there
were. The pictures made before are added to the sums from their rows.

engines.comfyui in the cluster's settings has every NVIDIA node build
ComfyUI: the release's source archive from GitHub, checked against the
digest the recipe holds — GitHub publishes none for a tag's archive, so a
version without one is refused — unpacked beside a Python environment
whose dependencies are its requirements file resolved as PyPI stood the
day after the release. torch is PyPI's CUDA 13 build, or PyTorch's CUDA
12.9 one on an older driver, and the install is checked on the card.
A requirements file that names anything but PyPI packages is refused.

ctl models said "not placed" for a model with min 0 woken by a request and
serving; it now says "ready (on demand)". And the docs: pictures on the
cluster's own cards, with engine comfyui behind its gate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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

The leading control plane tells the mirror over its API (PUT /v1/firewall,
kept as .firewall.json beside the models and applied by the same path unit
control planes use), and keeps the state in the store's cluster_state for
members that run no llmgw, which a root timer reads from the member's own
copy. The mirror also lets in the network of every node and control plane
the leader knows. Tried on the PoC: off, on and a network added, on every
kind of machine.

What llmgw org, keys and users did against the store on a control plane
can now be done remotely and by automation: the tree read, added to,
renamed, moved and emptied; keys issued (the key in the answer, once),
listed and revoked, with the scopes' lifetime limits; people put in and
taken out of the tree, their keys in projects they no longer reach
revoked with it.

A search asking for more than 10 passages got at most 40 candidates from
HNSW, pgvector's default ef_search. The full-text arm scored every chunk
holding a word of the question before limiting, over the whole

collection's own partial index and scores those. New collections index
halfvec on pgvector 0.7 and later (up to 4000 dimensions).

Each Patroni member gets a share of its own RAM in its own config.yml:
shared_buffers a quarter (15% beside a control plane or agent),
effective_cache_size, maintenance_work_mem and work_mem scaled to it, all
clamped. It is read again on every server init --patroni, so a machine
given more memory gets the use of it. A single-machine PostgreSQL init
installs is sized the same way, as a shared machine, instead of a fixed
96MB.
The step itself went in with 85025df by accident, in an early form that
restarted PostgreSQL before Patroni had taken the reload, leaving the old
shared_buffers with a restart pending. It now waits for Patroni to report
the restart pending, restarts with restart_pending (replicas first, the
leader last), and restarts a member it finds pending from an earlier run.
Applied to the PoC: pg01 978MB, ctl02 (control plane beside it) 587MB,
both from 128MB; streaming, lag 0, gateways unaffected.

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.

A job names the catalog model the adapter is for, the safetensors weights to
train on, the node and the MiB of a card it needs, and question/answer pairs.
The control plane sends it when the node's agent is there and nothing else
trains on it; the agent trains with its installed vLLM's torch and a pinned
overlay of peft and accelerate (no second environment), as the engines'
user, on the card with that much free — beside an engine, if it leaves that
much — converts the adapter to GGUF with the installed llama.cpp's own
conversion code when the model is served by llama.cpp, and sends what it
made back in pieces, kept in the store to download. Progress, loss and peak
card memory are reported as it goes; a node that goes fails its job.

A chat model of the cluster reads each chunk and writes questions a person
might ask of it with the answers it holds, streamed as NDJSON a chunk at a
time, for people to correct before an adapter is trained on it. A chunk that
gave no pairs says so on its own line.

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.

A request given passages carries a cache_salt derived from its organization

A Documents picker on /chat offers the collections the person may read in

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.

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.

Llama Guard 3 1B could not tell ordinary coding requests from harmful ones:
on the PoC it scored "continue" 0.51, "continue the code above" 0.89 and
"how do I kill all child processes in bash" 0.92 unsafe, against 0.97 to
1.00 for harmful requests, at Q4_K_M and Q8_0 alike, with its own template.
A site had "continue" refused. Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B gave the ordinary ones
0.15 at the most and the harmful ones 1.00, in 0.8 GB on CPUs.
- format qwen3guard: its prompt written out as its template writes it, for
requests and answers, and its Safe / Unsafe / Controversial verdict read;
controversial counts as the policy's judge.controversial says, safe by
default.
- judge.models: judges asked in turn, the first that answers deciding; a
failure is recorded against the judge that failed. guard judge use sets
the order, replacing categories none of the judges names.
- known judges (Qwen3Guard 0.6B/4B/8B, Llama Guard 1B/8B): guard judge
enable serves any of them, --gpu the 4B on the roomiest GPU class as a
standard model; the leader fetches and serves one a policy names that the
catalog lacks.
- server init installs qwen3guard-0.6b with the baseline's categories.
- a judge reads a long text by its start and end, which fit its context,
rather than overflowing it and refusing the request under fail: closed.

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.

There was no command to stop or start llmgw on a machine (issue #3). These

/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.

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

no text is recorded.

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.

A proxy left pointing at a standby showed an empty cluster: the portal and

passes the dashboard as well as the API. The leader trusts the control
