+## F. Company documents: knowledge bases (RAG), then adapters (2026-10-08)
+
+A company wants a model to answer from its own documents. Retrieval is the
+tool for *knowledge* (sources shown, re-indexed in minutes, access per
+tenant); LoRA training is for *behaviour* (vocabulary, format) and has no
+access control — whatever goes into weights reaches everyone who may use the
+adapter. RAG first. Decisions taken: access per collection (no per-document
+ACL yet); a personal key or session names a project or team and gets that
+chain only, never the union of its person's memberships; PostgreSQL store
+only, off on SQLite with a sentence saying why.
+
+### F1. Store: collections, grants, chunks (M) — done 2026-10-08 (branch `rag`)
+Built (`internal/store/knowledge.go`, migration 0035 PostgreSQL only):
+- `kb_collections` (owner scope/id, org, embed_model, dims), `kb_grants`
+  (read|write, any scope, never across organizations; a key needs a
+  project; a person needs a membership in the organization),
+  `kb_documents` (digest: the same again is no change, a new one replaces
+  in one transaction).
+- `kb_chunks` is created when the store opens, not in a migration (a
+  migration needing an extension would stop the control plane; one that
+  skipped it would never run again): partitioned by organization (hashed
+  partition name), `tsv` generated (`simple`), GIN on the parent, one
+  partial HNSW index per collection on its organization's partition
+  (`embedding::vector(dims)`, `WHERE collection = '<id>'`). EXPLAIN on
+  20k rows: partition pruned, that index used, policy applied.
+  Later (scale, 2026-10-08): a partial GIN per collection too
+  (`kb_tsv_<id>`, backfilled at open); `vec_type` per collection, `halfvec`
+  on pgvector ≥ 0.7 (up to 4000 dims); `SET LOCAL hnsw.ef_search` to
+  candidates(k) clamped 40..1000 (EXPLAIN: 40 rows without it, all with
+  it); the text arm takes candidates by `ts_rank` in a subquery and scores
+  only those.
+- RLS FORCEd on `kb_chunks` against `llmgw.kb_org`/`llmgw.kb_collections`
+  (set with set_config per transaction), one role — the table owner — not
+  a separate one. Chunks are deleted by the foreign-key cascade from their
+  document, which RLS does not block.
+- `CollectionsFor(Effective, write)`: owner or grant anywhere on the chain;
+  no organization (personal key without a project) reads nothing.
+- `SearchChunks`: per collection nearest-neighbour (literal id and cast so
+  the partial index is used) plus a full-text arm with any word
+  (`a | b`, lowercased by the database, not Go), fused by reciprocal rank.
+- Deleting a project/team/org that owns collections is refused like one
+  with members (changed from "deleted with them": every other delete in the
+  tree refuses); DeleteUser/ForgetUser delete the person's collections;
+  deleting an organization drops its partition; grants to a deleted scope go.
+- `server init` installs `postgresql-N-pgvector` / `pgvector_N` and enables
+  it; pgha installs it on every member at setup and enables it on the
+  leader on every run. Neither stops on failure.
+Left: a cluster set up before (the PoC) gets no package from a rerun of
+pgha on a running cluster — install by hand or add an upgrade step;
+`server restore`/`CopyTo` do not carry kb tables (SQLite → PostgreSQL only,
+and SQLite has none); tests need `LLMGW_TEST_POSTGRES` pointing at a
+pgvector database as a non-superuser (a superuser bypasses RLS).
+
+### F2. Ingest on the user's machine (L) — done 2026-10-08 (branch `rag`)
+Uploading whole files to the control plane was dropped: a PDF is 20–100×
+its text, and the work belongs where the files are. Instead a small client,
+`llmgw-kb`, run by the person on their own machine with their own key:
+- **Its own binary** (`cmd/llmgw-kb`), for Windows, macOS and Linux on amd64
+  and arm64. `llmgw` itself does not build on Windows (agent syscalls), and
+  employees' laptops should not carry the server, agent and setup screens. A
+  test keeps server packages out of its imports.
+- `llmgw-kb sync <collection> <dir|file…> [--include/--exclude globs]
+  [--dry-run] [--delete]`: scan → local catalog (path, size, mtime, sha256;
+  cache under os.UserCacheDir, digests not recomputed for unchanged files)
+  → the collection's manifest from the gateway (name → digest only) → diff
+  → for new/changed files only: extract, chunk, embed through the gateway's
+  `/v1/embeddings` with the person's key (its accounting, limits, guard and
+  band apply), and send name, digest, chunk texts and vectors; `--delete`
+  removes documents whose files are gone. `--dry-run` lists what would leave
+  the machine and how much. A file that cannot be read (locked, unsupported,
+  no text) is skipped with the reason; the run goes on.
+- **Formats, as many as possible.** Built in, pure Go: PDF (text layer),
+  DOCX/XLSX/PPTX, ODT/ODS/ODP, RTF, EPUB, HTML/XHTML, EML (text and HTML
+  parts), Jupyter notebooks, subtitles (SRT/VTT), CSV/TSV, JSON/YAML/XML,
+  Markdown/RST/AsciiDoc/Org, plain text and source code; ZIP archives
+  recursed into. With a helper found on the machine: legacy DOC/XLS/PPT, RTF
+  and anything else LibreOffice opens (`soffice --headless --convert-to`),
+  images and scanned PDFs through Tesseract (`tur+eng`). Text in UTF-8,
+  UTF-16 (BOM) or Windows-1254/1252 is converted to UTF-8.
+- **Across systems:** document names relative to the synced root, `/`
+  separated, Unicode NFC (macOS hands out NFD), a warning for two names that
+  differ only in case; CRLF → LF; key from `LLMGW_API_KEY` or `llmgw-kb
+  login` (os.UserConfigDir, 0600 where that means something); the system's
+  CA store, `--ca` for another.
+- **Gateway endpoints** (client listener, person's key):
+  `GET /v1/kb/collections` (what this key may read/write),
+  `GET /v1/kb/collections/{id}/manifest`, `PUT
+  /v1/kb/collections/{id}/documents` (one document per request: name,
+  digest, bytes, chunks with text and embedding; dims checked, chunk count
+  and size bounded), `DELETE …/documents?name=`. Write needs a write grant
+  or ownership on the key's chain (`CollectionsFor(…, write)`); otherwise
+  404.
+- **Administration** stays with operators: `llmgw ctl kb
+  create|list|delete|grant|revoke|docs`, admin API `/api/v1/kb`, audit,
+  console screen; `docs/knowledge.md`.
+- Trade-off accepted: vectors come from the client, so a writer could store
+  vectors that do not match their text — only in collections they may
+  already write.
+Built: `internal/kb/extract` (formats above; helpers found on PATH and in
+each system's install places), `internal/kb/chunk` (≈1800 characters under
+the heading path, a paragraph of overlap, sections kept apart once a chunk
+is a third full), `internal/kb/kbsync` (ledger in SQLite at
+os.UserConfigDir/llmgw-kb/ledger.db: documents keyed by gateway, collection
+and name with file, size, mtime, digest, state, reason; runs), `cmd/llmgw-kb`
+(login, collections, sync, status, history, formats), `internal/router/kb.go`
+(the four gateway endpoints, `X-Llmgw-Project` for personal keys, audit),
+`internal/control/adminapi/kb.go` + `llmgw ctl kb` + console Knowledge
+screen, `docs/knowledge.md`; CI builds the client for all six targets and
+releases attach it. Tested: every format from generated fixtures and a
+Turkish PDF (OCR path with Tesseract here), sync against a fake gateway and
+end to end against the router on pgvector.
+Tried on the PoC 2026-10-08 (control planes 140 and 150 on a dev build of
+this branch; their previous binary is /usr/local/bin/llmgw.pre-rag): Ubuntu's
+pgvector 0.6.0 installed on 149/150 and enabled; bge-m3's weights were never
+in the mirror (fetched from CompendiumLabs/bge-m3-gguf@1864f47f) and it is
+held at 1 replica; tree Demo/ik/belgeler and Demo/satis/crm with a key each;
+collection Demo/politikalar filled from a Mac through an SSH tunnel with ten
+Turkish files in nine formats (9 sent in 5 s, the .doc skipped for want of
+LibreOffice; a rerun sent nothing in 0 s; a changed file alone was sent).
+Nine Turkish questions each found their page first once search scored by
+similarity plus word coverage (rank fusion had got two wrong). The other
+team's key saw no collection and got 404 by id; with a read grant it read
+and could not write; revoked, nothing again. On the live store the llmgw
+role (not superuser, no BYPASSRLS) sees 0 chunks with no scope set and 0
+with the organization alone.
+Left: the gateway's collection list shows the owner as team:ID, not its
+path; no LibreOffice on the dev machine, so the legacy
+Office path is untested beyond its error; the client is unsigned (Gatekeeper
+and SmartScreen warn); Outlook `.msg` is not read; one document over ~60 MiB
+of JSON (a few thousand pages) is refused rather than split.
+PostgreSQL tests of store, router and adminapi share LLMGW_TEST_POSTGRES and
+the store's TRUNCATE each test; run them with `go test -p 1` or one package
+at a time, or a router test loses its rows mid-run.
+
+### F3. Retrieval on the request path (M) — done 2026-10-08 (branch `rag`)
+- `llmgw.knowledge: [collections]` in the body (stripped before the
+  engine), or default collections per project/key.
+- Allowed set from the caller's chain (§7.9.2), cached like limits; grants
+  add up down the tree. Personal keys and sessions need `x-llmgw-project`
+  (or the playground's picker) naming a scope the person is a member of.
+- A collection not allowed answers 404, exactly as a missing one.
+- Hybrid search with the filter inside the query (per collection, its own
+  partial index; pgvector 0.6 is enough —
+  scored by similarity plus the share of the question's words held (built
+  in F1/F2 as SearchChunks), `/v1/rerank` when a reranker is in the catalog. Top
+  chunks into a system message with document and position;
+  `x-llmgw-sources` lists them.
+- Leaks closed: answer-cache key includes the allowed set; per-organization
+  `cache_salt` on RAG requests; injected passages under `no_store` and the
+  guard's prompt-injection check; returned doc ids in the audit.
+- Done: router tests that tenant B never receives tenant A's chunks
+  (including via cache), that a personal key without a project is refused,
+  metrics (retrieval latency, chunks returned), docs.
+
+Built (`internal/router/rag.go`): `X-Llmgw-Knowledge` (header, as the
+other llmgw extensions are, not a body field), `X-Llmgw-Knowledge-K`;
+collections from the key's chain (kbEffective, shared with the kb
+endpoints), 404 for one not readable; the question embedded through the
+ordinary path on the caller's principal; SearchChunks; passages trimmed to
+the model's context; added to the one leading system message (or a new
+one); `x-llmgw-sources`; before guardInput; never cached; metrics. Default collections built (kb_defaults on org/team/project/key, narrowest
+wins, 30 s cache, `ctl kb default`, console action; never refuse); the
+portal chat's Documents picker (collection, default or none; sources listed
+under the answer; a header the page sends itself is dropped). `cache_salt` per organization on requests given passages, sent to vLLM
+replicas only (chosen replica's engine). Checked on the PoC 2026-10-08:
+vLLM 0.30.0 (cuda01) with TinyLlama-1.1B AWQ run by hand beside the 35B in
+the card's last 2.3 GB — a 668-token prompt reused 656 tokens under the same
+salt and 0 under another's, with identical text (llmgw cannot place it
+there: placement takes whole GPUs). Live on the PoC: a team default answers
+a request without the header, `none` turns it off, an explicit header with
+k=2 gives two sources and no more, llmgw-kb lists owners by path. Left: returned passages
+are not audited per request (the header and the kept request record them).
+
+### F4. Adapter training (L, after F1–F3) — done 2026-10-08 (branch `adapters-f4`)
+A run-to-completion job placed by the control plane like a replica and
+supervised by the agent like an engine, in a Python environment the agent
+installs (TRL + PEFT, QLoRA). Data: Q/A pairs generated from a collection by
+a cluster model through `/v1/batches`, reviewed by people. Output to the
+mirror, into the model's `adapters`, through canary and a quality suite.
+Runs when the scaling schedule frees a GPU; 8–14B dense bases on one card.
+Never train on a collection some users of the adapter may not read.
+Tried 2026-10-08 on the PoC, by hand: Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct (fp16) with a
+LoRA (r=16, every linear layer, 8.8M trainable), trained beside the 35B in
+cuda01's last 2.3 GB (peak 2158 MiB on the card, 64 s for 138 steps, PEFT in a
+venv over the vLLM engine's torch). Data: 90 Turkish Q/A pairs a cluster
+model wrote from the nine Demo/politikalar documents, through the gateway.
+On nine questions it had not seen, phrased otherwise: base 0/9, 6 epochs
+4/9, 4 epochs at a lower rate 2/9. Wrong answers mixed facts across
+documents (the meal card's amount, the office day). The same nine through
+retrieval: 9/9 with sources. So F4 is for format, vocabulary and tone, and
+facts come from F1–F3; a bigger base on a free card would do better but not
+change that. The training itself fits a small slot on a shared card, which
+the job design can rely on for small bases.
+
+Built: `ctl kb dataset` (POST /api/v1/kb/collections/{id}/dataset, NDJSON
+with each pair's collection); train_jobs/train_artifacts (migrations 0037,
+0038 owner); internal/control/train (queue, one job per node, artifacts in
+1 MiB pieces, a node that goes fails its job); internal/agent/train (the
+newest vLLM's python3 + `uv pip install --no-deps --target` peft 0.21.2 and
+accelerate 1.15.0; llama.cpp's conversion code for the installed release,
+untarred from its source; the card with the most free memory, if enough;
+runs as llmgw-engine); `ctl train start|list|show --follow|cancel|rm|
+download|publish`; the mirror's PUT /v1/models/{model}/{version}/{file};
+publish uploads the GGUF (llama.cpp) or PEFT files (vLLM) and sets the
+adapter after checkAdapters. Owners: catalog.Adapter.Owner, enforced in the
+router (404, hidden from /v1/models); a job's owner defaults to its single
+collection's owner, must be able to read every collection the pairs came
+from, and pairs from a knowledge base are never public. Tried on the PoC:
+dataset of 90 pairs in 89 s; a job trained beside the 35B (peak 2214 MiB,
+138 steps in about a minute) and sent back PEFT and GGUF.
+Left: a job dies with its agent's stream (no resume); no console screen for
+training yet; quality gating of a published adapter is by hand (ctl eval).

+
+### F5. Large imports (M) — measured 2026-10-09, open
+The metallurgy corpus (2,314 files, 108,779 chunks, bge-m3 on the one
+GPU) went in at about 25 chunks/s, the same over a phone hotspot and the
+LAN. The engine's slots were the limit: llama.cpp `--parallel 4` embeds
+four texts per pass, while llmgw-kb sends 32 a request from 6 workers. The
+usage rows show 4.6 s a request on average, 1.8 s of it in the gateway's
+queue and 0.04 s in the guard. The GPU sat at 18–50% and the store machine
+at a third of its CPUs.
+- An embedding model's profile with many slots by default (`--parallel`
+  32–64, `--ctx-size` to match, `--batch-size`/`--ubatch-size` at least the
+  longest chunk), or `ctl model serve` choosing that for a model with
+  `capabilities.embeddings`. With the default 512, one 516-token chunk failed.
+- Embedding on the gateway's side of a document PUT, so the client sends
+  text only: today an embeddings answer is ~21 KB of JSON a chunk, and
+  the text and vector go up again (~11 KB).
+- The store next: HNSW inserts took half of one of pg01's two cores; at a
+  million chunks the vectors alone outgrow its 4 GB. halfvec (pgvector ≥
+  0.7) and a larger store machine.
+- Done: a batch of embeddings checked text by text against the context
+  (branch `embeddings-batch`); it was refused as one over-long prompt.
+- Done: `query_prefix` on an embedding model, before questions only.
+- Qwen3-Embedding-4B on the RTX 6000 (2026-10-09): llama.cpp Q8 1,575
+  tok/s as first set up (32k cache, 16 slots), 2,700 with a 16k cache,
+  FlashAttention and ubatch 1–2k; f16 no better. vLLM fp16 (`--runner
+  pooling`) 6,200 direct, 4,700–4,900 through the gateway in the import,
+  and its vectors match llama.cpp's (cosine 0.9995). The 103,579 chunks
+  took 3 h. Wanted: an embedding model's GPU profile on vLLM and CPU
+  profile on llama.cpp, which needs a source per profile (the catalog has
+  one per model; the import swapped the entry by hand), and an admission
+  queue limit that suits bulk imports (30 s turned some away).
+- Retrieval on 40 questions written from the corpus, document in the top
+  5: bge-m3 31/40 (Turkish questions 13/21), Qwen3-Embedding-4B 37/40
+  (18/21), with its query prefix 36/40 and first place 31/40 instead of
+  28 (MRR 0.738 → 0.789 → 0.838). Next: translating the question with the
+  chat model, and a reranker.

+## Unreleased
+
+## v0.14.1 — 2026-10-09
+
+Adapters trained on the nodes from a knowledge base and kept private to
+their owners; the cluster's and the agents' settings edited in one place;
+the tenancy tree and keys over the admin API and in Terraform; knowledge
+bases that hold up with many documents; the firewall setting on every
+machine.
+
+**Upgrading.**
+- **Nodes** need this release to follow `agents.*` in the cluster's
+  settings; until a node is upgraded its agent.yaml is what it runs on.
+- **A separate mirror machine and store members that run nothing else**
+  follow the firewall setting once what reads it is installed: run `sudo
+  llmgw mirror init` on the mirror again with the flags it was set up with,
+  and `llmgw server init --patroni` again for the store's members. A control
+  plane set up before v0.12.0 needs `sudo llmgw firewall sync --install`.
+- **The store's PostgreSQL memory** applies after each member is restarted,
+  one at a time, the leader last; until then it runs as before.
+- The store gains tables and columns; nothing to do. Existing knowledge-base
+  collections get their full-text index when a control plane starts, and
+  keep `vector` storage; only new collections use `halfvec`, and only on
+  pgvector 0.7 or later.
+- Cached knowledge-base passages in vLLM are made again once, under the new
+  `cache_salt`.
+
+### Added
+
+- **The cluster's settings on the portal** (BACKLOG E4): `/admin/settings`
+  for administrators. It edits the document `llmgw ctl config edit` opens:
+  checked as a control plane would load it, refused when made from a
+  version since replaced, with the history to view and roll back. Changes
+  are audited by size, never by contents.
+- **The nodes' agent settings in the cluster's settings** (BACKLOG E3):
+  `agents.default` and `agents.nodes.<id>` hold everything agent.yaml can
+  say but the agent's id, control planes, address and certificate. They are
+  sent to the agents as they change; an agent starts again on new settings,
+  or on an edited agent.yaml, with its engines serving throughout. Settings
+  that would not load are refused on save, and set aside on a node rather
+  than keep its agent from starting. Nodes need this release to follow
+  them.
+- **LoRA adapters trained on the nodes** (BACKLOG F4): `llmgw ctl kb dataset`
+  writes question/answer pairs from a collection with a model of the
+  cluster. `llmgw ctl train start` trains an adapter on a node with its
+  installed vLLM's torch and a small overlay, on a card with enough memory
+  free (beside an engine, if it leaves that much), converting to GGUF for
+  llama.cpp. `llmgw ctl train publish` keeps it on the mirror (which now
+  accepts uploads) and makes it the model's adapter.
+- **Adapters with owners.** An adapter's `owner` (org, team, project, user
+  or key) is the only part of the tree that sees it; to anyone else it is a
+  model that does not exist. An adapter trained on a knowledge base belongs
+  to a part of the tree that may read it, and is never made public.
+- The knowledge bases' vLLM `cache_salt` follows the collections searched,
+  not the organization, so two teams of one organization no longer share
+  cached passages.
+- **Organizations, teams, projects, API keys and memberships in the admin
+  API**: `/api/v1/orgs` (the tree), `POST /api/v1/teams` and `projects`,
+  `PATCH` to rename or move, `DELETE` for what is empty; `/api/v1/keys` to
+  issue (the key is in the answer, once), list and revoke; `/api/v1/users`
+  and `/api/v1/users/{id}/memberships`. They were only `llmgw org`, `keys`
+  and `users` on a control plane before. The Terraform provider manages them
+  as `llmgw_org`, `llmgw_team`, `llmgw_project`, `llmgw_key` (the key in a
+  sensitive `secret`) and `llmgw_membership`.
+- **The firewall setting reaches every machine.** A separate mirror and the
+  store's members follow `firewall.enabled` and `firewall_networks` as nodes
+  and control planes did: the leading control plane tells the mirror over
+  its API, and keeps the state in the store for members that run no llmgw,
+  which a timer on each reads. The mirror also lets in the network of every
+  node the leader knows. `mirror init` and `server init --patroni` install
+  what follows it; run them again on a cluster set up before.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The store's PostgreSQL is sized to its machine's memory.** Before, it ran
+  on PostgreSQL's defaults (128MB cache) under Patroni, or on 96MB on one
+  machine. Now each member gets a share of its own RAM, a smaller one where
+  a control plane or agent shares the machine, and the share is read again
+  every time `server init --patroni` runs. The new cache is applied by
+  restarting one member at a time, the leader last.
+- **Knowledge-base searches hold up with many documents.** New collections
+  store their index as `halfvec` where pgvector is 0.7 or later (half the
+  memory, and embeddings up to 4000 dimensions instead of 2000); older
+  collections, and clusters on pgvector 0.6, keep `vector`. Each collection
+  has its own full-text index, as it has its own vector index, made for
+  existing collections when the control plane starts. The text arm ranks by
+  the cheap measure first and scores only those candidates.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A knowledge-base search asking for more than 10 passages
+  (`X-Llmgw-Knowledge-K`) got at most 40 candidates per collection from the
+  vector index, whatever it asked for: pgvector's `hnsw.ef_search` is now
+  raised to the number wanted, up to 1000.
+- `llmgw server backup` and `restore` against a replicated store over TLS
+  failed looking for `~/.postgresql/root.crt`: pg_dump was given
+  `sslmode=verify-full` without the cluster's authority.
+
+## v0.14.0 — 2026-10-08
+
+Knowledge bases: a company's documents, put in by people from their own
+machines, kept apart per tenant, and answered from.
+
+**Upgrading.**
+- **pgvector on a cluster set up before this release.** Knowledge bases
+  need pgvector, which `server init` and the high-availability database
+  setup now install, but a rerun on a running cluster does not:
+  1. Install `postgresql-<version>-pgvector` on every database machine.
+  2. As postgres, run `CREATE EXTENSION vector` in llmgw's database.
+  3. Restart the control planes.
+  Until then everything else works, and `llmgw ctl kb list` says why
+  knowledge bases are off. On a SQLite store they stay off.
+- **An embedding model.** A collection needs a catalog model with
+  `capabilities.embeddings`, for example bge-m3, whose weights are in the
+  mirror.
+- **The client.** People download `llmgw-kb` for their system from this
+  release.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Collections and who may read them.** A collection is owned by an
+  organization, team, project or person. Grants add up down the tenancy
+  tree and never cross an organization. A collection a key may not read is
+  answered as one that does not exist. Chunks are kept in PostgreSQL with
+  pgvector, partitioned by organization, with an HNSW index per collection,
+  and row-level security on the table as a second line behind every
+  query's own filter. A project, team or organization that owns collections
+  is not deleted; a person's collections go with their account.
+- **`llmgw-kb`**, its own download for Windows, macOS and Linux, run by
+  people with their own key. It reads documents where they are and sends
+  text and vectors, never the files, for what changed only; a SQLite ledger
+  on the machine remembers what it did.
+  - It reads PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, HTML,
+    MHTML, mail with attachments, notebooks, subtitles, ZIP archives, and
+    text and source code in any common encoding.
+  - Legacy Office files are read with LibreOffice, and scanned pages with
+    Tesseract, when those are installed.
+  - `--dry-run` says what would leave the machine; `--delete` removes only
+    what that machine sent.
+- **Answers from documents.** A chat request names collections in
+  `X-Llmgw-Knowledge`, or its part of the tree has a default (`llmgw ctl kb
+  default`). The best passages, chosen by meaning plus a little for the
+  question's words, are added to the system message, numbered, and
+  `x-llmgw-sources` says which were used. This happens before the
+  guardrails judge the request, and the answer is never served from the
+  answer cache. On vLLM replicas the organization's `cache_salt` keeps
+  tenants' prefix caches apart. It works through the Responses and Messages
+  APIs too.
+- **Administration**: `llmgw ctl kb` (create, list, grant, revoke, default,
+  docs, rm, search, delete), `/api/v1/kb`, the console's Knowledge screen,
+  and a Documents picker on the portal's chat page.
+- Metrics `llmgw_kb_retrievals_total` and `llmgw_kb_retrieval_seconds`;
+  [docs/knowledge.md](docs/knowledge.md).
+
+## v0.13.0 — 2026-10-08
+
+The whole system stopped, started and restarted from one command, a
+guardrails judge that no longer refuses ordinary coding requests, and the
+rest of the field report from v0.10.6.
+
+**Upgrading.** A cluster keeps the judge its policies name: one installed
+before this release goes on asking Llama Guard 3 1B until `llmgw ctl guard
+judge use qwen3guard-0.6b`, which the leader then fetches and serves by
+itself, and which replaces the policies' Llama Guard category codes.
+
+### Added
+
+- **A judge on a GPU and one on CPUs together**: a policy's `judge.models`
+  is a list asked in turn, the first that answers giving the verdict; the
+  next is asked when one has no replica serving, fails, or misses its
+  `latency_budget`. `llmgw ctl guard judge use qwen3guard-4b
+  qwen3guard-0.6b` sets the order for every policy with a judge, and
+  `guard judge status` says which judge stands in for which. A judge on a
+  GPU is served as a `standard` model, so it takes a card only from what
+  may give one up.
+- **A judge a policy names is fetched if it is missing**: the leader
+  fetches the weights of a judge llmgw knows (`qwen3guard-0.6b`, `-4b`,
+  `-8b`, `llama-guard-3-1b`, `-8b`) into the mirror and serves it, when a
+  policy names it and the catalog does not have it — and again if it is
+  removed. `guard judge enable --gpu` serves Qwen3Guard-Gen 4B on the class
+  with the most free cards.
+- **The whole system stops, starts and restarts from one command**: `llmgw
+  stop` takes every model down and answers every request for one with 503
+  (`system_stopped`), keeping the control planes, agents and mirror running
+  and no model's definition changed; `llmgw start` brings every model back.
+  It is the cluster's setting `serving.stopped`, live on every control plane.
+  `llmgw restart` restarts every node's agent and every control plane, the
+  leader last, with the engines serving throughout. `llmgw status` says
+  whether the system serves. One machine's services are `llmgw service
+  status|start|stop|restart`.
+- **A replica says what it computes on**: `ctl replicas` (ON), the console
+  and the admin API show `CUDA` with the GPUs its processes hold memory on
+  and how much, as nvidia-smi sees them, or `CPU` — for every engine, kept by
+  the agent across its own and the control plane's restarts. llama.cpp's
+  layer count is added when it says it, which it does only at `-lv 4`.
+- **`ctl engine-check llamacpp` computes a token on the GPU**: a small GGUF
+  (`--model`, or the smallest in the weights cache) is loaded with every layer
+  on the GPU at `-lv 4` and asked for one token; a build whose CUDA backend
+  does not load fails, by llama.cpp's own account of its layers. With no
+  `--bin` it checks the build the agent installed.
+- **Engine versions and compute capability on nodes**: `ctl nodes` shows
+  `llamacpp b10991` and `6000-24g (7.5)`; the admin API gives
+  `engine_versions` and `compute_capabilities`. A profile's `engine_version`
+  restricts it to nodes whose engine version starts with it, and
+  explain-placement says which version a node has, or which engines.
+- **`ctl restart --max-surge N` and `--max-unavailable N`**: that many of a
+  model's replicas restart at once, beside themselves or stopped first.
+- **Multi-node readiness apart from the node's**: doctor gives both, with
+  fabric findings in a section of their own; `node add` says the multi-node
+  one; `ctl nodes` shows a declared fabric's adapters that are down.
+- **A forgotten password is set through a link**: `/forgot` mails one when
+  the cluster's `mail` settings say how (SMTP, sender, the public
+  `base_url` it points at), saying the same whether or not the address has an
+  account; `/reset` sets the password once and closes every session. Without
+  mail, `llmgw users reset-link` makes the link for an operator to hand over.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A replica restarted in place keeps its room**: the replica was stopped
+  and the pass went on to other models before placing its replacement, so a
+  model waiting for room took the freed cards. On the reference cluster a
+  GPU judge waiting for the only card took it from the model being
+  restarted there. The replacement is now placed in the same step.
+- **The judge no longer refuses ordinary coding requests**: Llama Guard 3
+  1B, the judge `server init` installed, could not tell "continue", "devam
+  et" or "how do I kill all child processes in bash" (0.51 to 0.92 unsafe)
+  from harmful requests (0.97 to 1.00), at any quantisation. The judge is
+  now Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B (format `qwen3guard`), which gave the same
+  ordinary requests 0.15 at the most and the harmful ones 1.00, on CPUs,
+  in 0.8 GB. Its third verdict, controversial, counts as safe unless the
+  policy says `controversial: unsafe`. `guard judge use qwen3guard-0.6b`
+  moves an installed cluster to it, and replaces Llama Guard's category
+  codes, which Qwen3Guard never names, with the baseline's.
+- **A long message is judged rather than refused**: a judge read the whole
+  last user message, and one with a file pasted into it overflowed the
+  judge's context, so it gave no verdict and `fail: closed` refused the
+  request. It now reads the start and the end, about 6000 characters.
+- **A replica no longer stays "starting" while it serves after a restart**:
+  an agent that registered before its adopted engines had answered their
+  health check never said they had, so the control plane kept them starting
+  and routed nothing to them — on the reference cluster, after `llmgw
+  restart`, the only replica of a model. The agent now reports each shard
+  the registration called not ready once it is.
+- **A failover no longer replaces healthy replicas**: a standby that took
+  over placed at once, before the agents had reconnected and said what runs,
+  so it started a second copy of replicas it did not know of and then drained
+  the healthy ones as surplus — on the reference cluster the guardrails'
+  judge and a model's replica, within twenty seconds of a leader restarting.
+  Placement now waits after a takeover as it does at start.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **A GPU placement llama.cpp says it cannot compute on is refused** when it
+  warns that it found no usable GPU, even where nvidia-smi cannot be asked;
+  where it can, holding no memory on its GPUs refuses it as before.
+
+## v0.12.2 — 2026-10-06
+
+The guardrails turned off and on as a whole, and a judge that refuses
+ordinary requests explained: the hazard it saw is told to the client and
+kept with the request, and `llmgw ctl guard judge ask` shows what it says of
+any text. Nothing to do to upgrade; the store gains a column.
+
+### Added
+
+- **The guardrails turn off and on as a whole**: `llmgw ctl guard off` /
+  `on`, which is `guard.enabled` in the cluster's settings — in force within
+  seconds, the policies and their attachments kept. `ctl status`, `ctl guard
+  list` and the guardrails page say when they are off.
+- **`llmgw ctl guard judge ask TEXT`** has the judge read a text and shows
+  its answer as given and as read — for finding out why ordinary requests
+  are refused. Nothing of the text is kept, not even in the audit.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **A judge's refusal names the hazard**: the client is told `(judge:
+  S6,Specialized Advice)` rather than `(judge)`, and the verdict is kept with
+  the request (`guard_rule`): `ctl request`, the server's log and the
+  guardrails page show it. Llama Guard 3's codes come with their names,
+  S9 Indiscriminate Weapons, without a categories list.

+
+### Which judge
+
+| judge | runs on | size | |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `qwen3guard-0.6b` | CPUs | 0.8 GB | the default: about 2 s a check on two threads |
+| `qwen3guard-4b` | a GPU | 2.5 GB | for a cluster with a card to spare |
+| `qwen3guard-8b` | a GPU | 4.7 GB | |
+| `llama-guard-3-1b` | CPUs | 0.9 GB | the earlier default: refuses ordinary coding requests |
+| `llama-guard-3-8b` | a GPU | 4.6 GB | |
+
+Measured on the reference cluster, as the judge's probability of "unsafe"
+for ordinary coding requests against harmful ones, Llama Guard 3 1B could
+not tell them apart: "continue" 0.51, "continue the code above" 0.89, "how
+do I kill all child processes in bash" 0.92, against 0.97 to 1.00 for
+harmful requests, at any quantisation. Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B gave the
+ordinary ones 0.15 at the most and the harmful ones 1.00. Its verdicts are
+safe, unsafe and **controversial**; controversial counts as safe unless the
+policy says `controversial: unsafe`.
+
+A policy that names one of these is enough: the leader fetches its weights
+into the mirror and serves it as a judge, and serves it again if it is
+removed from the catalog. Another judge is served by hand with `--repo`.

+
+### A GPU and CPUs together
+
+`judge.models` is a list asked in turn: the first judge that answers gives
+the verdict. The next is asked when one has no replica serving, fails, or
+does not answer within `latency_budget`; a judge with no replica at all is
+passed over at once. A judge on a GPU first and one on CPUs after it is
+the GPU's speed while it has its card, and the CPUs' when it does not.
+
+```yaml
+judge:
+  models: [qwen3guard-4b, qwen3guard-0.6b]
+  input: block
+  output: block
+  latency_budget: 5s           # each judge's wait
+```
+
+A judge on a GPU is served as a `standard` model, on one card: it takes a
+card only from what may give one up, and waits while every card is busy,
+the judge on CPUs standing in. A judge on CPUs is `critical`, with two
+replicas, because every judged request waits on one. `llmgw ctl guard judge
+status` says, for each judge, which is asked when it gives no verdict.
+
+### When it refuses ordinary requests
+
+A refusal by a judge names the hazard it saw — the client is told `refused
+by the gateway's policy (judge: Violent)` — and the same is kept with the
+request: `llmgw ctl request <id>`, the server's log (`guard_rule`) and the
+guardrails page show it. To see what the judge says of any text, without
+anything being kept:
+
+```
+llmgw ctl guard judge ask 'How do I sort a list in Python?'
+# qwen3guard-0.6b: safe, 1900 ms
+# it answered: "Safety: Safe\nCategories: None"
+```
+
+A judge that says `unsafe` to ordinary text is usually Llama Guard 3 1B
+(`llmgw ctl guard judge use qwen3guard-0.6b`), the wrong weights (another
+repository's, without the judge's template: `judge enable --replace` serves
+the right ones), or a policy counting every category: give its judge
+`categories`. The baseline counts Violent, Non-violent Illegal Acts, Sexual
+Content or Sexual Acts, Suicide & Self-Harm and Jailbreak; PII is the
+patterns', and copyright, unethical acts and politically sensitive topics
+refuse too much ordinary work. While finding out, `judge.input: flag`
+records instead of refusing.
+
+A judge's file served from the mirror page — Llama Guard, Qwen3Guard,
+ShieldGemma — is served as a judge too, under the name the policies ask.
+By hand, the catalog entry is:

+
+A ComfyUI server is an external model with `api: comfyui`. Clients ask it for

+
+```yaml

+    api: comfyui
+    workflow: flux-schnell                       # or flux-dev, or a JSON file
+```
+
+`flux-schnell` (the default) and `flux-dev` are built in. They suit the
+single-file FLUX checkpoints that ComfyUI loads with `CheckpointLoaderSimple`.
+For any other model, export the workflow from ComfyUI with **Save (API)** and

+
+- `{{prompt}}` and `{{negative_prompt}}` are the prompts.
+- `{{width}}` and `{{height}}` are the size.

+- `{{steps|4}}` and `{{guidance|3.5}}` take the value after the `|` when the
+  request leaves them out.
+- `{{checkpoint}}` is the `model` above.
+
+A request is OpenAI's: `prompt`, `n` (at most 4), `size` (each side a multiple
+of 16, from 256 to 2048) and `response_format: b64_json`. Beyond those, it may
+send `seed`, `steps`, `negative_prompt` and `guidance`. The seed used comes
+back in `x-llmgw-seed`. `url` is not offered, because pictures are kept
+nowhere. ComfyUI also writes the workflow into each PNG; llmgw strips it
+before the picture is sent.
+
+Requests for pictures pass the same checks as any other request: keys,
+allowlists, limits, admission, and the guardrails on the prompt. A client that
+leaves takes its workflow off the ComfyUI queue. Usage is recorded, but for
+now it is charged as the prompt's tokens; a per-picture price is not yet

+
+`llmgw stop` frees every GPU and answers requests for a model with 503
+(`system_stopped`, with Retry-After) until `llmgw start`. The control planes,
+agents and mirror keep running, so the console, the admin pages and `llmgw
+start` keep working, and no model's definition changes. It is the cluster's

+# Knowledge bases
+
+A knowledge base is a collection of a company's documents that the cluster
+can answer from. People put their documents into it from their own machines
+with `llmgw-kb`. The tool reads the files on that machine, cuts them into
+passages ("chunks"), has the gateway embed each passage with the person's own
+key, and sends the text and the vectors. The files themselves never leave
+the machine.
+
+## Why retrieval, and not training
+
+Retrieval is the tool for *knowledge*: policies, procedures, contracts. The
+answer can name its source, a changed document is sent again in minutes, and
+a passage only ever reaches people allowed to read its collection.
+
+Training a model on the documents (LoRA) changes how it *writes*, not what it
+reliably *knows*. It has no access control: whatever goes into the weights
+is available to everyone who may use them.
+
+## What it needs
+
+- **The PostgreSQL store with pgvector.** On a SQLite store knowledge bases
+  are off, and `llmgw ctl kb list` and the console say why.
+  - `llmgw server init` and the high-availability database setup install
+    pgvector and enable it.
+  - A cluster set up before this build needs it by hand, once:
+    1. Install the package on every database machine:
+       `sudo apt-get install postgresql-16-pgvector` (use the server's
+       version number).
+    2. On the leader, enable it in llmgw's database:
+       `sudo -u postgres psql -d llmgw -c 'CREATE EXTENSION vector'`.
+    3. Restart the control planes: `llmgw restart`.
+- **An embedding model in the catalog**, with `capabilities.embeddings`.
+  Two good choices handle Turkish and run on CPUs: `BAAI/bge-m3` (1024
+  dimensions) and `Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B`.
+
+  Add it as any model is added (**Serve a model** in the console, or the
+  catalog), with its entry saying that it embeds:
+
+  ```yaml
+  capabilities:
+    embeddings: true
+  ```
+
+  A collection stays with the model it was made with: vectors from two
+  models cannot be compared.
+
+  Some embedding models are trained with an instruction before the
+  question and none before the documents. Give it as the entry's
+  `query_prefix`; llmgw puts it before questions only. For
+  Qwen3-Embedding:
+
+  ```yaml
+  query_prefix: "Instruct: Given a web search query, retrieve relevant passages that answer the query\nQuery: "
+  ```
+
+  With pgvector 0.7 or later a collection's index is kept at half
+  precision (`halfvec`), which halves its memory and takes models of up to
+  4000 dimensions; with an older pgvector the limit is 2000. A collection
+  keeps the kind it was made with.
+
+## For administrators
+
+### Make a collection
+
+A collection belongs to one part of the tenancy tree: an organization, a
+team, a project or a person. Whoever is in the owner, at any level below it,
+may read it and add to it.
+
+```sh
+llmgw ctl kb create team:Acme/hr policies bge-m3
+llmgw ctl kb create user:USER-ID notes bge-m3 --org Acme
+```
+
+The model's dimension is asked of the model itself, so the model has to be
+able to serve when the collection is made. `--dims 1024` gives it instead.
+
+In the console: **Knowledge**, then **A**.
+
+### Who may read and add
+
+The owner, and everything below it, may read and add. A **grant** gives the
+same to another part of the same organization, to a person, or to one key:
+
+```sh
+llmgw ctl kb grant Acme/policies project:Acme/sales/crm           # read
+llmgw ctl kb grant Acme/policies team:Acme/legal --write          # read and add
+llmgw ctl kb revoke Acme/policies project:Acme/sales/crm
+```
+
+How access works:
+
+- **Grants add up down the tree.** A grant to a team reaches its projects
+  and their keys.
+- **Nothing crosses organizations.** A grant to another organization's
+  team, project, key or person is refused.
+- **A person's own key** (a key with no project) reads nothing by itself.
+  The person names the project they act in (`llmgw-kb login` asks for it,
+  or `--project`) and must be a member of it. Joining a second team
+  therefore does not quietly widen what every key of theirs can read.
+- **No access looks like no collection.** A collection a key may not read
+  is answered exactly as one that does not exist, so even its name does not
+  leak.
+
+### Answer from collections by default
+
+Clients that cannot add a header still get answers from the documents when
+their part of the tree has a default:
+
+```sh
+llmgw ctl kb default team:Acme/hr Acme/policies Acme/forms
+llmgw ctl kb default key:KEY-ID Acme/policies
+llmgw ctl kb default team:Acme/hr --clear
+```
+
+- **Which default applies.** The narrowest one: a key's over its project's,
+  a project's over its team's, a team's over its organization's.
+- **A request can override it.** A request that names collections uses
+  those instead, and `X-Llmgw-Knowledge: none` turns the default off for
+  that request.
+- **A default never refuses a request.** A collection the caller may not
+  read is left out for them. If the search fails (the embedding model is
+  down, say), the request is answered without passages and the failure is
+  logged.
+- **Changes take effect within 30 seconds.**
+
+In the console: **Knowledge**, Enter on a collection, then **Answer from it
+by default…**.
+
+### Look after it
+
+```sh
+llmgw ctl kb list                          # collections, owners, documents, grants
+llmgw ctl kb docs Acme/policies            # its documents, who added each and when
+llmgw ctl kb rm Acme/policies old/form.pdf # one document out
+llmgw ctl kb search Acme/policies how many days of annual leave
+llmgw ctl kb delete Acme/policies          # the collection, its documents and grants
+```
+
+Rules that apply:
+
+- A project, team or organization that owns a collection is not deleted
+  until its collections are. This is the same rule as for one with members.
+- A person's own collections go with their account (`users delete`,
+  `users forget`).
+- Every document added or removed is in the audit log (`llmgw ctl audit`),
+  by name. The text is never recorded.
+
+## For everyone: `llmgw-kb`
+
+### Get it
+
+Download `llmgw-kb` for your system from the release page, next to `llmgw`:
+
+| System | File |
+|---|---|
+| Windows (Intel/AMD) | `llmgw-kb-VERSION-windows-amd64.exe` |
+| Windows (ARM) | `llmgw-kb-VERSION-windows-arm64.exe` |
+| macOS (Apple silicon) | `llmgw-kb-VERSION-darwin-arm64` |
+| macOS (Intel) | `llmgw-kb-VERSION-darwin-amd64` |
+| Linux | `llmgw-kb-VERSION-linux-amd64` / `-arm64` |
+
+Rename it to `llmgw-kb` (`llmgw-kb.exe` on Windows) and put it somewhere on
+your PATH. You do not need to install anything else.
+
+On macOS, a downloaded program that is not signed is stopped the first time.
+Either right-click it and choose Open, or run
+`xattr -d com.apple.quarantine llmgw-kb`.
+
+### Log in once
+
+```sh
+llmgw-kb login
+```
+
+It asks for three things, checks them, and saves them where only you can
+read them:
+
+- **The gateway's address.**
+- **Your API key.** It is typed without being shown.
+- **A project.** Needed only for a personal key.
+
+Instead of logging in you can set `LLMGW_URL`, `LLMGW_API_KEY` and
+`LLMGW_PROJECT`.
+
+```sh
+llmgw-kb collections        # what your key may read, and which you may add to
+```
+
+### Send your documents
+
+```sh
+llmgw-kb sync policies ~/Documents/HR
+llmgw-kb sync policies "C:\Users\ayse\Documents\İK" --include "*.pdf,*.docx"
+llmgw-kb sync policies ./handbook ./forms --exclude "drafts/**"
+```
+
+Run it as often as you like. The first run sends everything. Later runs
+send only what changed, and do not even read files whose size and time have
+not changed.
+
+| Option | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `--dry-run` | Reads and cuts everything, sends nothing, and lists what would leave the machine and how much. |
+| `--delete` | Also removes documents whose files are gone. Only those this machine sent, from these folders; never anything someone else sent. |
+| `--retry` | Reads again files skipped before, for example after installing LibreOffice. |
+| `--include`, `--exclude` | Glob patterns. `*.pdf` matches a file name; `reports/**/*.xlsx` matches a path. |
+| `--hidden` | Reads hidden files and folders too (left out by default). |
+| `-v` | Lists unchanged files too. |
+
+Documents are named by their path under the folder, with forward slashes,
+on every system. With several folders, each folder's own name comes first.
+
+```sh
+llmgw-kb status policies    # what this machine sent and skipped, and why
+llmgw-kb history            # the latest runs
+llmgw-kb formats            # what can be read here
+```
+
+### What it reads
+
+| Read here | Formats |
+|---|---|
+| Documents | PDF (text), Word (`.docx`), Excel (`.xlsx`), PowerPoint (`.pptx`, with speaker notes), OpenDocument (`.odt`, `.ods`, `.odp`), RTF, EPUB |
+| Web and mail | HTML, MHTML, e-mail (`.eml`, with its attachments) |
+| Text | Markdown, plain text, CSV, JSON, YAML, XML, subtitles, notebooks (`.ipynb`), source code |
+| Archives | ZIP, with every file inside it read in turn |
+
+| Read with a helper on your machine | Helper |
+|---|---|
+| Word, Excel and PowerPoint 97–2003 (`.doc`, `.xls`, `.ppt`), Pages, Numbers, Keynote and others | [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org) |
+| Images and scanned PDFs | [Tesseract](https://tesseract-ocr.github.io) (with the Turkish language data), plus Poppler's `pdftoppm` for PDFs |
+| PDFs the built-in reader cannot parse | Poppler's `pdftotext` |
+
+`llmgw-kb formats` says which helpers it found. Text in UTF-8, UTF-16, or
+the Windows Turkish and Western code pages is read correctly.
+
+A file that cannot be read is skipped with the reason, and the run goes on.
+Reasons include a locked Office file, a format with no helper, and a
+scanned page with no OCR.
+
+### What leaves your machine
+
+For each new or changed document, two things leave the machine, both over
+the gateway's TLS connection:
+
+- **The passages, to be embedded.** They go through `/v1/embeddings` like
+  any request of yours. Your key's limits, budget and guardrails apply.
+- **The document itself.** Its name, its file's SHA-256 digest and size,
+  and the passages with their vectors.
+
+The file itself is never sent. `--dry-run` shows exactly what would be.
+
+### The ledger
+
+`llmgw-kb` keeps a small SQLite database of what it did with every
+document: the file it came from, its size, time and digest, and whether it
+was sent, skipped or failed, with the reason.
+
+| System | Where it is |
+|---|---|
+| Windows | `%AppData%\llmgw-kb\ledger.db` |
+| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/llmgw-kb/ledger.db` |
+| Linux | `~/.config/llmgw-kb/ledger.db` |
+
+Deleting the ledger is safe: the next run hashes every file once, finds what
+the collection already has, and sends nothing that is unchanged. `--ledger`
+uses another file.
+
+## Asking questions of a collection
+
+A chat request names the collections to answer from in a header. Any client
+that can add a header can do it: the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs, Continue, or
+curl.
+
+```sh
+curl https://llm.example.com/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLMGW_API_KEY" \
+  -H "X-Llmgw-Knowledge: politikalar" \
+  -d '{"model": "qwen2.5-coder-14b-instruct",
+       "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Kaç gün yıllık iznim var?"}]}'
+```
+
+```python
+client.chat.completions.create(
+    model="qwen2.5-coder-14b-instruct",
+    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Kaç gün yıllık iznim var?"}],
+    extra_headers={"X-Llmgw-Knowledge": "politikalar"},
+)
+```
+
+What the gateway does with such a request:
+
+1. **It finds the collections.** It looks up the ones named, by name or ID,
+   among those the key may read. A collection it may not read is answered
+   404, the same as one that does not exist.
+2. **It embeds the question.** The last user message is embedded by the
+   collection's model, on the caller's own account: their limits, budget and
+   guardrails apply.
+3. **It searches.** The collections are searched by meaning and by words
+   (below).
+4. **It adds the passages.** The best passages are numbered and added to the
+   system message, with an instruction to answer from them, cite them as
+   [1], [2], and say so when they do not hold the answer. The system message
+   is created if the request has none. Passages that would not fit the
+   model's context are left out, the weakest first.
+5. **It judges and sends the request.** The request, passages included, then
+   goes through the guardrails and to the model as usual. A document
+   carrying instructions aimed at its reader is judged like anything else
+   the model reads.
+
+On the portal's chat page, **Documents** picks a collection the person may
+read in the chosen project, the default, or none. Under each answer, the
+sources it was given are listed by number.
+
+How it is shaped:
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `X-Llmgw-Knowledge` | Collections, comma separated; `none` for no passages, whatever the default. |
+| `X-Llmgw-Knowledge-K` | How many passages, 1 to 20; 5 by default. |
+| `X-Llmgw-Project` | For a personal key: the project it acts in. |
+| `x-llmgw-sources` (answer) | The passages given, as `document#chunk`, in their numbered order; empty when nothing matched. |
+
+Behaviour to know about:
+
+- **No passages matched.** The model is told that nothing in the documents
+  answers the question, and asked to say so rather than answer from general
+  knowledge.
+- **Other APIs.** Requests through `/v1/responses` and `/v1/messages`
+  (Codex, Claude Code) work the same way, since they are answered as chat
+  completions.
+- **Separate prefix caches.** On vLLM replicas, a request given passages
+  carries a `cache_salt` derived from the collections they came from.
+  Requests that could be given the same passages still share cached blocks,
+  and no one else's do: not another organization's, nor another team's of
+  the same one. How fast an answer starts therefore says nothing about what
+  someone else asked.
+- **No answer cache.** Answers from knowledge bases are never served from
+  the answer cache, because two keys of one project can read different
+  collections.
+
+### How a passage is chosen
+
+Each passage scores the following, and the highest scores win:
+
+- its similarity in meaning to the question (cosine, 0 to 1), plus
+- up to 0.3 for the share of the question's words it contains.
+
+Words almost every passage has ("ne", "için", "the", "of") are not counted.
+The meaning does most of the work: "how much leave do fathers get" finds the
+paternity page, not the annual-leave page that shares more of its words.
+The word match helps with what meaning cannot carry, such as a form number,
+a product code or a name.
+
+Metrics: `llmgw_kb_retrievals_total{result}` (found, nothing, refused) and
+`llmgw_kb_retrieval_seconds`.
+
+## Training an adapter on a collection
+
+An adapter (LoRA) changes how a model *writes*: the organisation's words,
+format and tone. It does not reliably teach facts. On the PoC, a small
+model trained on nine policy documents answered 4 of 9 rephrased questions
+right and mixed facts up on the rest, while the same questions through the
+knowledge base got 9 of 9. Use both: the knowledge base for what answers
+say, an adapter for how they sound.
+
+```sh
+# 1. Questions and answers from the collection, written by a model of the
+#    cluster. Read the file through and correct it.
+llmgw ctl kb dataset Acme/policies --model qwen2.5-coder-14b-instruct --out policies.jsonl
+
+# 2. Train on a node. --gpu-memory is what the job needs of a card; it
+#    runs beside an engine when the engine leaves that much free.
+llmgw ctl train start policies-tone --model qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct \
+  --base-repo Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct --node cuda01 --gpu-memory 2300 --data policies.jsonl
+llmgw ctl train show JOB --follow
+
+# 3. Make it the model's adapter, kept on the mirror.
+llmgw ctl train publish JOB --restart
+```
+
+The node trains with its installed vLLM's torch and a small overlay (peft
+and accelerate), as the engines' user. For a model llama.cpp serves, it also
+converts the adapter to GGUF with the installed llama.cpp's own code. What
+it makes is kept by the control plane (`llmgw ctl train download`).
+
+An adapter is private like its collection:
+
+- **It has an owner.** An adapter trained on a collection carries some of
+  what the collection says in its weights, so it belongs to a part of the
+  tree.
+  - By default the owner is the collection's owner.
+  - `--owner` names another, which must be able to read every collection
+    the pairs came from.
+  - Only callers in the owner's part of the tree see the adapter. To anyone
+    else it is a model that does not exist, absent from `/v1/models` too.
+- **It is public only by choice.** `--public` makes an adapter every
+  caller's. It is refused for pairs from a knowledge base, so it is only for
+  pairs written by hand.
+
+## How it is kept apart
+
+Passages live in PostgreSQL, partitioned by organization, with an index per
+collection. Every search and every write names the organization and the
+collections the caller may use. On top of that, row-level security on the
+table checks the same thing again, so a query that forgot its filter
+returns nothing rather than another tenant's passages.
