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 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.

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.

Every template and handler message in internal/web goes through a JSON
catalogue under internal/web/locales/<code>/, with English as the fallback.
The language is the person's choice (a cookie set by /_lang/{code}), else
Accept-Language, else landing.language. Tests refuse a key some language
lacks, a translation with other arguments than English, and template text
left in English.

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.

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
at /prometheus/metrics. Brought by the operator (engines.trtllm.python),
not installed; checked by ctl engine-check trtllm. Written against the
documented CLI, server and metrics and tested with stand-ins: not yet
run on a datacenter GPU.
mirror import-ollama copies a model's GGUF, and a vision model's
projector, from Ollama's directory into the mirror, checked against the
digest Ollama named each blob by; mirror import does the same for any
local file. The console's Mirror view imports from Ollama with I.

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,
marked cache_hit (migration 0027) and shown by ctl request. An LRU bounded
by router.cache.max_bytes and max_entry_bytes; llmgw_cache_requests_total,
llmgw_cache_bytes, llmgw_cache_entries.

The manual the binary carries, rendered on the client port: a sidebar of
the documents in the console's reading order (now one list, llmgw.Manual,
for both), heading anchors, links between documents kept in the portal and
links to files outside the binary sent to the repository, no script.
Public by default; landing.docs_sign_in sends visitors to sign in first.
docs/clients.md shows the official OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs against
llmgw in Python, TypeScript, Go and curl, with llmgw's headers; the
portal's index, the landing page and the account page link to it.

A new internal/clientip says who sent a request and how: the connection's
address, scheme and Host, or through a configured proxy what it forwarded.
The base URL in pages and setup scripts, isHTTPS for cookies, and the
per-address limits of auth and the sign-in forms use it. /setup scripts are
no-store.

The admin listener answered any local process: models added, nodes
upgraded, engine keys listed, the heap dumped. /api and /debug now demand
the token the server writes 0600 to its state directory on first start;
ctl, the console and node add send it (sudo, LLMGW_ADMIN_TOKEN or
--token-file). pprof is off unless debug_pprof. admin_listen off loopback
is refused unless admin_remote. Dashboard pages, /metrics and /health are
unchanged.

The supervisor drops to the run_as user (default llmgw-engine) when the
agent is root: its credential and groups, a 0700 home under the work
directory as the working directory, HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME there. A node
without the user keeps engines as root and logs why. node add creates the
user in the video and render groups.

Without agent_tls the control plane served plaintext h2c on every
interface, and any machine reaching it could register as any node. The
server now refuses to start that way unless agent_insecure: true, and then
binds loopback when agent_listen names only a port.

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.

The console gains live views of nodes, GPUs, models, replicas, usage and
agent logs, and a settings tree over every key of server.yaml (agent.yaml on
a node), generated from the configuration structs: values with their
defaults and doc comments, edited in dialogs, saved only once the service's
own loader accepts them, comments kept. The generator now tells blocks apart
by package, which brings the TLS, engine and supervisor settings back into
the reference.

Requests by outcome, tokens and first-token time per tenant, at the level
router.tenant_label names (team by default), and every budget's share spent
this period. Rules alert on budgets at 80% and 100%, tenants hitting limits,
failing, spiking past their weekly average, or waiting on first tokens.

Charts, totals and budgets summed the request table on every view. Usage is
now also summed in the writing transaction into five-minute, hourly and daily
tables per key, person, project and model, with latency and first-token
histograms. Charts read the coarsest tier their slices allow; totals and
budgets compose rows, slices, hours and days, and stay exact. Request records
can be given a retention without moving any total.

engine_overrides give nodes picked by GPU class, id or labels their own
engine versions; node add --disable-engine keeps one off a node; what
vLLM cannot do on a node is a warning rather than a refused node; the
CUDA requirement follows the version; a hand-named binary is no longer
replaced by an installed one.

A model's adapters are fetched by each node with its weights and loaded
unapplied at start; a request naming an adapter reaches the model's
replicas with llama.cpp's per-request lora field. Adapter names share the
model namespace, are listed, and follow allowlists on their own. The
router's config seed and pushed catalog now build the name map in one place.

A catalog model with external {url, model, api_key_file} and no profiles
is published as an endpoint by the control plane, the key read from its
file each time; the router rewrites the request's model to the provider's
name and sends its key. It is never scraped nor stale, and nothing is
placed for it. Named in fallbacks, it serves when the cluster has no room.

A total bound across bands (admission.queue_capacity_total, default half of
all bands' capacity together); reached, a request is not refused while a
lower band has requests queued, and the newest of the lowest band gets a 503
with Retry-After instead.

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.
