Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5 e86457cf02 Make the model mirror a file you can copy, not an idea you have to have
CI / test (push) Successful in 1m39s
"Set up a local mirror" was advice. This is the nginx config, the directory
layout and the reason the layout has a date in it — a repository that changes
upstream changes what you are running, and the first sign is a prompt that
worked last week answering differently this week.

It says what the mirror is not, because both mistakes are easy. It is not a
caching proxy: nothing populates it on demand, deliberately, since a mirror
that reaches the internet at the least convenient moment fails in a way that
looks like llmgw being broken. And it is not needed at all if you already run
a shared filesystem — put the models there, use a path, and nothing is fetched.

It also says when a mirror stops being enough, and that llmgw is positioned to
distribute between nodes because it already knows which of them hold which
weights. That is not built, and the page says so rather than implying it is
coming.

Every behaviour it relies on was checked against the source: an http:// source
is fetched and a path is not, a killed download resumes, a partial file is
never visible under the model's name, and a shared filesystem is not counted
once per node.

CI / test (push) Successful in 1m34s
Neither had a page. "We have GPUs, now what" was left to the reader, and what
llmgw stores was scattered across four documents and a changelog — which is
the same as not being written down when somebody is doing a security review.

docs/data.md describes the behaviour and leaves the legal mapping to whoever
holds the obligation. Every claim in it was checked against the source, and it
names where to look for each: usage rows carry no text field, keys are stored
hashed, conversations are off until a named project turns them on and cannot be
turned on without a retention window.

It also states the egress exactly, which took reading every outbound call to
say honestly: nothing on the serving path leaves the cluster, and the two
things that can reach outside — fetching weights, and ctl plan reading a model's
architecture — are both started by an operator. Weight fetching points wherever
you tell it, including an internal mirror.

docs/choosing-models.md is the opinion llmgw itself does not have. Three jobs
rather than one model, with the third — embeddings — being the one that gets
forgotten and the one that decides whether the deployment can answer questions
about your company or only questions in general.
