auth.ldap checks a username and password against the domain controllers
over LDAPS or StartTLS: found with a service account, checked by binding
as the person. Groups, nested ones included, give staff roles and places
in the tree. Accounts are tied to the objectGUID; the leader reads the
directory every 15 minutes, suspends whom it disabled or removed and
reinstates them after, and refuses a sync that would suspend most.
Entra ID sends no groups for someone in more than 200, only where to
fetch them; that was read as none and took an administrator's role away.
It is now left as it was, and logged. An account made by SCIM or OIDC
can be reinstated again.

Measured on three VMs: cutting the store primary's power cost about 45 s of
hanging requests. New connections tried the dead member first with no
connect timeout, and Patroni kept its 30 s leader key. Cutting the leader of
both cost a further 17 s of 503s while the new leader knew no judge.
The store dials each member for 3 s and closes connections to a machine that
is gone within about 10 s (keepalive, TCP_USER_TIMEOUT). Patroni runs with
ttl 20, loop_wait 5 and retry_timeout 5, applied in place to existing
clusters through its API. Judges that all fail at once are asked again
every 250 ms while the policy's budget lasts, and reported once.

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.

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.

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
and database, and moves the store in use into the cluster. Each step checks
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.

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.

Once server init's screen closed, the whole run was printed again under the
frame that had just shown it. Now the password and the next steps are, the
whole run goes to /var/lib/llmgw/init.log (0600: it holds the password), and
it is printed in full only when init fails. Seen in a draft of the install
video, where it scrolled the screen away.
The spinner and the text field are written here instead of taken from
bubbles, whose packages query the terminal's colours as they load. bubbletea
does the same deliberately, so the query stays; the dependency goes.

Adding a node was deploy/bootstrap/onboard-node.sh, which is not installed
anywhere and wanted the node's name, the control plane's address and a
dozen flags. It is now in the binary, run on the control plane:
sudo llmgw node add ubuntu@10.0.0.21
The node id is the machine's hostname, and the address its agent dials is
this machine's on the route to it, checked against the server certificate.
It installs llmgw there (the release for its architecture, fetched and
checked by the node; uname rather than dpkg, so RHEL works), runs doctor
there and stops on a problem before changing anything, issues and installs
the certificate, writes agent.yaml and the unit, starts the agent, and waits
for it to join and install llama.cpp. The authority is read first, so a
missing one is said before the node is touched.
The steps are events. In a terminal they draw a checklist (bubbletea) that
asks what a script cannot: which fabric each group of active adapters is on,
grouped by the subnet manager or RoCE network they report, and whether to go
on past a problem. Elsewhere, one line per step.
Found by running it on an empty VM: ssh's "Permanently added" warning on
stderr was read as the machine's hostname, so standard error is now kept
apart; and a node added again while cordoned never counted as joined, so
joining now means a heartbeat since the restart.
llmgw node remove forgets a lost node, which otherwise stays listed until
the control plane restarts. ctl nodes no longer lists vLLM as skipped on
every CPU node. The quick install, install and onboarding docs use it.

Opening a repository shows its model card, rendered from markdown, with
its base model, license and languages above it; the listing names each
repository's base model and license under its name. The card is a
stranger's text: raw HTML and dangerous links are dropped, images are
shown as links rather than loaded, and relative links point into the
repository.
Adds github.com/yuin/goldmark for the markdown.

A path is still SQLite and a postgres:// URL is PostgreSQL, so every existing
configuration keeps working untouched and moving is one line changed rather
than a new setting to find. An address of the form @/path/to/file reads the
real one out of that file, which is how a DSN carrying a password stays out of
a configuration that gets copied, diffed and pasted into issues.
The driver is pgx, which is pure Go. That is not a preference: the whole binary
is built with CGO_ENABLED=0 so it runs on a node whose libc is older than the
builder's, and a cgo driver would take that away from every deployment,
including the ones still on SQLite.
Tested against a real PostgreSQL, which found two things nothing else could.
The schema_migrations table is created in Go rather than in a migration file,
so it escaped the port and still said INTEGER — 64 bits in SQLite, 32 in
PostgreSQL, and a millisecond timestamp does not fit, so the very first
migration failed to record that it had run. And the memory migration uses an
FTS5 virtual table with three triggers keeping it in step, which has no
counterpart: PostgreSQL derives a tsvector from the row, so there is nothing
to keep in step and no trigger to forget.
That leaves exactly one query that is not the same sentence in both dialects —
the note search, MATCH against @@ — and it is written out twice rather than
hidden behind a shared spelling that would mean something subtly different in
each. Everything else is one set of queries.
The text search uses the 'simple' configuration rather than English. These are
an agent's own notes, in whatever language it chose, and stemming English
rules over Turkish would quietly stop finding things.

Issuing a key worked; getting it to the person it was issued for did not. The
operator had a secret on their terminal and no way to send it that did not
leave a bearer credential in a chat log forever.
`keys create --claim` prints a link instead. GET shows a button and consumes
nothing; POST reveals the key and burns the link. That split is not politeness
— chat clients, mail scanners and link previewers fetch URLs the moment they
are posted, so a GET that consumed the claim would mean the first thing to
unfurl the link destroys the key before anyone reads it.
A pending claim has to hold the key somewhere, which would otherwise put a
working credential in the database and undo what hashing bought. So the key is
sealed with a key derived from the link's own token, and the token is never
stored — only its hash. A database leak yields two useless hashes and a blob
nothing in the database can open. HKDF rather than the raw token, so the value
used for lookup can never become the value that decrypts.
Consuming is one UPDATE moving claimed_at off NULL, so two people opening the
same link produce one key rather than two copies. A used link, an expired one
and a token that was never real all render identically, because saying which
confirms that a token was once valid. The page is no-store, no-referrer and
noindex: the URL is itself the credential.
`GET /me` reports a key's own limits and spend, so nobody has to ask an
operator to read a dashboard they cannot reach. Outside /v1, because it is not
part of the OpenAI API.
docs/onboarding.md is written for whoever operates this, including the parts
that are deliberately absent — no self-service, no SSO, and why.

Phase 5 begins. This is the persistence layer for the things the cluster
cannot reconstruct — who may call, what they are allowed, what they used.
Everything else llmgw knows is still derived from the fleet, which cannot be
wrong about itself the way a database can (§6.5).
SQLite behind an interface. The plan justified that by write volume, which was
the wrong argument: the write path is batched anyway, and a 500-row
transaction every 200ms is nothing for either engine. The real argument is the
failure mode. Postgres is a second service, and a gateway that stops serving
because its accounting database is unreachable is worse than one that buffers
some accounting. Embedded means the store shares the gateway's fate instead of
adding an independent way to be down. That reasoning stops holding at two
instances, where budgets have to be counted somewhere shared — so the
interface is here from the start, the SQL is portable, and migrations are per
dialect with shared version numbers.
Keys are stored as sha256 and nothing else, so a database leak hands over no
working credential. The fast hash is deliberate: the input is 256 random bits
with no dictionary to attack, so argon2 would buy nothing and charge tens of
milliseconds per request. That assumption is written down next to the code
that depends on it.
Two things the schema now says that it did not: budgets are integer
micro-units, because repeated addition of floats drifts; and an empty model
allowlist forbids everything while an absent one permits everything, which the
resolver has to keep distinct.

One bidirectional connect-go stream per node, carrying registration, heartbeats
and shard status up, and start, stop and drain down. The agent dials out: GPU
nodes sit behind firewalls far more often than a control plane does, and an
outbound connection needs no inbound rule on every node in the fleet.
- registration carries the whole hardware inventory, so there is no separate
discovery call and a reconnecting agent refreshes what the scheduler knows.
The fabric labels travel with it; they cannot be inferred from the wire, so
losing them in transit would silently disable multi-node placement.
- agentsvc is both the stream handler and the reconciler's dispatcher, because
it holds the open streams and is therefore the only thing that can deliver a
command to a node.
- the agent validates a profile before launching anything, since an engine that
refuses a profile does so after minutes of loading, then supervises the
process and reports every transition with the engine's output tail on failure.
- reconnects forever with jittered backoff. A control plane restart must not
require touching every GPU node, and a fleet must not reconnect in lockstep
and knock it over again. Engines keep serving throughout, because the router
talks to them directly.
llmgw agent is real now, and llmgw server runs a control plane whenever any
model declares a profile. The static endpoint list stays for router-only runs.
Verified with real binaries as separate processes: the agent registers, a
replica is placed, an engine launches through the vLLM adapter's actual argument
construction, streaming traffic is served, and killing the agent moves the node
through unreachable to lost with placement explaining why nothing can run.
config.Model and catalog.Model were the same thing described twice, so the
router now reads catalog entries directly and the validation rules live in one
place.
Still missing: mTLS. The stream is plaintext HTTP/2 and must stay on a trusted
network until that lands.

NVML is the only source of NVLink topology, and that topology is what keeps a
tensor-parallel group off the slow path inside a node. It needs cgo, so it sits
behind the nvml tag and the default build keeps using nvidia-smi.
Discover() picks the backend and falls back to nvidia-smi when NVML fails,
logging the fallback rather than performing it silently: on a node that is meant
to have working NVML, a quiet downgrade hides a broken driver installation and
costs the scheduler its topology.
CI now compiles the tagged build. That immediately paid for itself: ErrNoNVML
was declared only in the untagged file, so the tests did not compile under
-tags nvml. It is now declared where both builds can see it.
Not verified: the NVML path has never run against a driver, because there is no
GPU machine available. The NVLink domains it reports should be treated as
unverified until someone runs `llmgw agent inventory` on a real node.

llmgw server is real now. It fronts a static set of engine replicas with an
OpenAI-compatible API, scoring endpoints through the pipeline added in the
previous commit.
- proxy: SSE relayed event by event with a flush after each, cancellation
propagated upstream, and separate deadlines for dial, headers, first token,
inter-token idle and total. The idle watchdog is what distinguishes a wedged
engine from a slow one.
- router: dispatch with retry and model fallback. Retry only happens while
nothing has reached the client; after that, splicing two responses together
would be worse than the short stream the client already sees.
- config: YAML via koanf overlaid on defaults, with LLMGW_ env overrides.
Validation rejects duplicate endpoint ids and aliases that shadow a model,
because both misroute silently at request time rather than failing loudly.
- metrics: requests, duration, TTFT, tokens, plus per-scorer values and
per-filter drops on a separate admin listener with health and pprof.
Phase 1 exit criterion, measured in test/e2e: 1000 concurrent streams across
3 sim-engines complete at ~6800 req/s; every client disconnect frees the KV
blocks on every engine; router overhead p99 is about 0.9 ms against the plan's
2 ms budget.
The handlers live in internal/router rather than an internal/router/openai
package as the plan's tree sketched: they need the dispatch loop, and splitting
them apart would have meant an interface with exactly one implementation. Plan
§4 updated to match.

The code behind plan §7.3-7.6:
- breaker: folds cooldown and circuit breaking into one component
(FailureThreshold=1 gives LiteLLM-style cooldown), with exponential backoff
and half-open probes.
- endpoint: live state registry. Inflight counting, staleness detection, drain
rate derived from counters. A scrape failure does not trip the breaker — the
engine may be serving fine while only its metrics endpoint is down.
- scrape: parses the §7.6 metric contract. Errors when any of the mandatory
three is missing; the metric name mapping is overridable, since names drift
between versions (plan §14).
- scheduler: the filter -> score -> pick pipeline. A "strategy" is now just a
set of scorer weights; chat, batch and long-context are the same code with
different weights. Scorers: queue, kv (hard penalty above the ceiling),
inflight, load, weight, session (bounded-load consistent hashing). Pickers:
max-score, p2c, softmax, round-robin.
Decision carries the rationale — which scorer produced what, which filter
dropped how many. Tuning the weights without that is guesswork.
