A site's nodes stayed a release behind after its control plane was
upgraded, with nothing printed to say so. ctl upgrade checks every node's
version once the waves are done, fails naming any not on the release, and
says when the control plane has no nodes registered. llmgw upgrade on a
control plane, which looks like the cluster's upgrade and is not, says how
many nodes it left behind and the command that upgrades them.

A binary installed by hand made ctl upgrade say this machine already ran
the release and leave the old server running. And a node had 15 seconds
to answer an upgrade the control plane gives five minutes, so a node that
was upgrading stopped the run.

Run on the standby, it upgraded the leader first, then itself, and the
leadership moved twice.

One node at a time was hours on a fleet of hundreds. Nodes now go one, then
two, four, up to --parallel at once, each wave waited on whole; a wave that
does not come back stops it. The other control plane is upgraded first over
ssh, so a leader restarted last hands over to a standby on the release.

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.

Collects rc.1 to rc.14: the mirror page in tabs with a card per model,
one line per record in every admin table, reserved CPU cores and required
memory, capacity classes and preemption, tenant capacity quotas, sizing by
measured throughput, and node sensor readings. Adds `llmgw upgrade` for the
mirror host, which `ctl upgrade` does not reach, and says so when it ends.

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.
