feat: localai assistant chat modality (#9602)
* fix(tests): inline model_test fixtures after tests/models_fixtures removal
The previous reorg removed tests/models_fixtures/ but core/config/model_test.go
still read CONFIG_FILE/MODELS_PATH env vars pointing into that directory, so
`make test` failed with "open : no such file or directory" on the readConfigFile
spec (the suite ran with --fail-fast and bailed before openresponses_test).
Inline the YAMLs (config/embeddings/grpc/rwkv/whisper) directly into the test
file, materialise them into a per-test tmpdir via BeforeEach, and drop the
env-var lookups. The test no longer depends on Makefile plumbing.

* refactor(modeladmin): extract model-admin helpers into a service package
Lift the bodies of EditModelEndpoint, PatchConfigEndpoint,
ToggleStateModelEndpoint, TogglePinnedModelEndpoint and
VRAMEstimateEndpoint into core/services/modeladmin so the same logic can
be called by non-HTTP clients (notably the in-process MCP server that
backs the LocalAI Assistant chat modality, landing in a follow-up commit).
The HTTP handlers shrink to thin shells that parse echo inputs, call the
matching helper, map typed errors (ErrNotFound, ErrConflict,
ErrPathNotTrusted, ErrBadAction, ...) to the existing HTTP status codes,
and render the existing response shapes. No REST-surface behaviour change;
the existing localai endpoint tests cover the regression net.
Adds focused unit tests for each helper against tmp-dir-backed
ModelConfigLoader fixtures (deep-merge patch, rename + conflict, path
separator guard, toggle/pin enable/disable, sync callback).

* feat(assistant): LocalAI Assistant chat modality with in-memory MCP server
Adds a chat modality, admin-only, that wires the chat session to an
in-memory MCP server exposing LocalAI's own admin/management surface as
tools. An admin can install models, manage backends, edit configs and
check status by chatting; the LLM calls tools like gallery_search,
install_model, import_model_uri, list_installed_models, edit_model_config
and surfaces the results.
Same Go package powers two modes:
pkg/mcp/localaitools/
NewServer(client, opts) builds an MCP server that registers the
19-tool admin catalog. The LocalAIClient interface has two impls:
- inproc.Client — calls services directly (no HTTP loopback,
no synthetic admin API key). Used in-process by the chat handler.
- httpapi.Client — calls the LocalAI REST API. Used by the new
`local-ai mcp-server --target=…` subcommand to control a remote
LocalAI from a stdio MCP host.
Tools and their embedded skill prompts are agnostic to which client
backs them. Skill prompts are markdown files under prompts/, embedded
via go:embed and assembled into the system prompt at server init.
Wiring:
- core/http/endpoints/mcp/localai_assistant.go — process-wide holder
that spins up the in-memory MCP server once at Application start
using paired net.Pipe transports, then reuses LocalToolExecutor
(no fork) for every chat request that opts in.
- core/http/endpoints/openai/chat.go — small branch ahead of the
existing MCP block: when metadata.localai_assistant=true,
defense-in-depth admin check + executor swap + system-prompt
injection. All downstream tool dispatch is unchanged.
- core/http/auth/{permissions,features}.go — adds
FeatureLocalAIAssistant; gating happens at the chat handler entry
plus admin-only `/api/settings`.
- core/cli/{run.go,cli.go,mcp_server.go} —
LOCALAI_DISABLE_ASSISTANT flag (runtime-toggleable via Settings, no
restart), plus `local-ai mcp-server` stdio subcommand.
- core/config/runtime_settings.go — `localai_assistant_enabled`
runtime setting; the chat handler reads `DisableLocalAIAssistant`
live at request entry.
UI:
- Home.jsx — prominent self-explanatory CTA card on first run
("Manage LocalAI by chatting"); collapses to a compact
"Manage by chat" button in the quick-links row once used,
persisted via localStorage.
- Chat.jsx — admin-only "Manage" toggle in the chat header,
"Manage mode" badge, dedicated empty-state copy, starter chips.
- Settings.jsx — "LocalAI Assistant" section with the runtime
enable toggle.
- useChat.js — `localaiAssistant` flag on the chat schema; injects
`metadata.localai_assistant=true` on requests when active.
Distributed mode: the in-memory MCP server lives only on the head node;
inproc.Client wraps already-distributed-aware services so installs
propagate to workers via the existing GalleryService machinery.
Documentation: `.agents/localai-assistant-mcp.md` is the contributor
contract — when adding an admin REST endpoint, also add a LocalAIClient
method, an inproc + httpapi impl, a tool registration, and a skill
prompt update; the AGENTS.md index links to it.
Out of scope (follow-ups): per-tool RBAC granularity for non-admin
read-only access; streaming mcp_tool_progress for long installs;
React Vitest rig for the UI changes.

* refactor(assistant): extract tool/capability/MiB/server-name constants
The MCP tool surface, capability tag set, server-name default, and the
chat-handler metadata key were repeated as bare string literals across
seven files. Renaming any one required hand-editing every call site and
risked code/test/prompt drift.
This pulls them into typed constants:
- pkg/mcp/localaitools/tools.go — Tool* constants for the 19 MCP tools,
plus DefaultServerName.
- pkg/mcp/localaitools/capability.go — typed Capability + constants for
the capability tag set the LLM passes to list_installed_models. The
type rides through LocalAIClient.ListInstalledModels and replaces the
triplet of "embed"/"embedding"/"embeddings" with the single
CapabilityEmbeddings.
- pkg/mcp/localaitools/inproc/client.go — bytesPerMiB constant for the
VRAMEstimate byte→MB conversion.
- core/http/endpoints/mcp/tools.go — MetadataKeyLocalAIAssistant for the
"localai_assistant" request-metadata key consumed by the chat handler.
Tool registrations, the test catalog, the dispatch table, the validation
fixtures, and the fake/stub clients all reference the constants. The
embedded skill prompts under prompts/ keep their bare strings (go:embed
markdown can't import Go constants); the existing TestPromptsContain
SafetyAnchors guards the alignment.
No behaviour change. All tests pass with -race.

* refactor(modeladmin): typed Action for ToggleState/TogglePinned
The toggle/pin verbs were bare strings everywhere — handler signatures,
service implementations, MCP tool args, the fake/stub clients, the
inproc and httpapi LocalAIClient impls, plus 4 test files. A typo in
any caller silently fell through to the runtime "must be 'enable' or
'disable'" check.
Introduce core/services/modeladmin.Action (string alias) with
ActionEnable, ActionDisable, ActionPin, ActionUnpin and a small Valid
helper. The compiler now catches mismatches at every boundary; renames
ripple through one source of truth.
LocalAIClient.ToggleModelState/Pinned signatures change to take
modeladmin.Action. The package is brand-new and unreleased so this is
a free public-API tightening.

* fix(assistant): respect ctx cancellation on gallery channel sends
InstallModel, DeleteModel, ImportModelURI, InstallBackend and
UpgradeBackend all pushed onto galleryop channels with bare sends. If the
worker was paused or the buffer full, the chat-handler goroutine blocked
forever — the LLM kept polling and the request leaked.
Wrap the five sends in a sendModelOp/sendBackendOp helper that selects
on ctx.Done() so a cancelled chat completion surfaces context.Canceled
back to the LLM instead of hanging.
Adds inproc/client_test.go with a pre-cancelled-ctx regression test on
InstallModel; the helpers are shared so the same guarantee covers the
other four call sites.

* fix(assistant): graceful shutdown for in-memory holder and stdio CLI
Two related leaks:
- Application.start() built the LocalAIAssistantHolder but never wired
Close() into the graceful-termination chain — the in-memory MCP
transport pair stayed alive until process exit, and the goroutines
behind net.Pipe() didn't drain. Hook into the existing
signals.RegisterGracefulTerminationHandler chain (same pattern as
core/http/endpoints/mcp/tools.go:770).
- core/cli/mcp_server.go ran srv.Run with context.Background(); a
Ctrl-C from the host (Claude Desktop, mcphost, npx inspector) or a
SIGTERM from process supervision left the stdio loop reading from a
closed pipe. Switch to signal.NotifyContext to surface the signal
through ctx and let srv.Run drain.

* fix(assistant): typed HTTPError + propagate prompt walk error
The httpapi client detected "no such job" by substring-matching on the
error string ("404", "could not find") — brittle to status-code
formatting changes and to LocalAI fixing /models/jobs/:uuid to return a
proper 404. Replace with a typed *HTTPError whose Is() method honours
errors.Is(err, ErrHTTPNotFound). The 500-with-"could not find" branch
stays as a transitional fallback documented in Is().
Same change covers ListNodes' 404 fallback for the /api/nodes endpoint.
Adds httptest tests for both 404 and the legacy 500 path, plus a
direct errors.Is exposure test so external callers (the standalone
stdio CLI host) can match without re-string-parsing.
Also tightens prompts.SystemPrompt: panic when fs.WalkDir on the
embedded FS fails. The only realistic cause is a build-time //go:embed
misconfiguration; serving an empty system prompt to the LLM is much
worse than crashing init. TestSystemPromptIncludesAllEmbeddedFiles
catches regressions in CI.

* fix(modeladmin): atomic writes for model config files
The five sites that wrote model YAML used os.WriteFile, which opens
with O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY|O_CREATE. A crash mid-write left the destination
truncated and the model unloadable until manual repair. Pre-existing
behaviour inherited from the original endpoint handlers — fix once now
that there's a single helper.
Adds writeFileAtomic: writes to a sibling temp file, chmods, syncs via
Close(), then os.Rename. Same-directory temp keeps the rename atomic on
the same filesystem; cleanup runs on every error path so stray temps
don't accumulate. No new dependency.
Applied to:
- ConfigService.PatchConfig
- ConfigService.EditYAML (both rename and in-place branches)
- mutateYAMLBoolFlag (drives ToggleState + TogglePinned)
atomic_test.go covers the happy path plus a read-only-dir failure case
that asserts the original file is preserved (skipped on Windows where
the chmod trick is POSIX-specific).

* chore(assistant): prune dead code, mark stub, document conventions
Three small cleanups landing together:
- Drop the unused errNotImplemented sentinel from inproc/client.go.
All five methods that used to return it are wired to modeladmin
helpers since the Phase B commit; the package var is dead.
- Annotate httpapi.Client.GetModelConfig as a known stub. LocalAI's
/models/edit/:name returns rendered HTML, not JSON, so the standalone
CLI's get_model_config tool surfaces a clear error to the LLM. A
future JSON-only /api/models/config-yaml/:name endpoint is tracked in
the agent contract; FIXME points at it.
- Extend `.agents/localai-assistant-mcp.md` with a "Code conventions"
section that documents the audit-driven rules: tool/Capability/Action
constants, errors.Is over substring matching, ctx-aware channel
sends, atomic writes, and graceful shutdown. Refresh the file map so
it lists tools.go and capability.go and drops the removed
tools_bootstrap.go.
The tools_models.go diff is a comment-only change explaining why the
ModelName empty-string check stays at the tool layer (consistency
across LocalAIClient implementations, since the SDK schema validator
only enforces presence, not non-empty).

* test(assistant): convert test files to ginkgo + gomega
The repo convention (per core/http/endpoints/localai/*_test.go,
core/gallery/**, etc.) is Ginkgo v2 with Gomega assertions. The tests I
introduced for the assistant feature used vanilla testing.T, which made
them stand out and stripped the BDD structure the rest of the suite
relies on.
Convert every test file in the assistant scope to Ginkgo:
pkg/mcp/localaitools/
dto_test.go — Describe("DTOs round-trip through JSON")
prompts_test.go — Describe("SystemPrompt assembler")
server_test.go — Describe("Server tool catalog"),
Describe("Tool dispatch"),
Describe("Tool error surfacing"),
Describe("Argument validation"),
Describe("Concurrent tool calls")
parity_test.go — Describe("LocalAIClient parity"),
hosts the suite's single RunSpecs (the file
is package localaitools_test so it can
import httpapi without an import cycle;
Ginkgo aggregates Describes from both the
internal and external test packages into
one run).
httpapi/client_test.go — Describe("httpapi.Client against the
LocalAI admin REST surface"),
Describe("ErrHTTPNotFound"),
Describe("Bearer token")
inproc/client_test.go — Describe("inproc.Client cancellation")
core/services/modeladmin/
config_test.go — Describe("ConfigService") with sub-Describes
for GetConfig, PatchConfig, EditYAML
state_test.go — Describe("ConfigService.ToggleState")
pinned_test.go — Describe("ConfigService.TogglePinned")
atomic_test.go — Describe("writeFileAtomic")
core/http/endpoints/mcp/
localai_assistant_test.go — Describe("LocalAIAssistantHolder")
Each package gets a `*_suite_test.go` with the standard
`RegisterFailHandler(Fail) + RunSpecs(t, "...")` boilerplate. Helpers
that previously took *testing.T (newTestService, writeModelYAML,
readMap, sortedStrings, sortGalleries, etc.) drop the *T receiver and
use Gomega Expectations directly. tmp dirs come from GinkgoT().TempDir().
No semantic change to test coverage — every original assertion has a
direct Gomega counterpart. All suites pass with -race.

* test+docs(assistant): drift detector for Tool ↔ REST route mapping
Honest gap from the audit: the parity_test.go suite only checks four
methods, and uses the same httpapi.Client for both sides — it asserts
stability of the DTO shapes, not equivalence between in-process and
HTTP. If a contributor adds an admin REST endpoint without an MCP tool,
or a tool without a matching httpapi route, both surfaces silently
diverge.
Add a coverage test plus stronger docs:
- pkg/mcp/localaitools/coverage_test.go introduces a hand-maintained
toolToHTTPRoute map: every Tool* constant must list the REST endpoint
the httpapi.Client hits (or "(none)" with a documented reason). Two
Ginkgo specs assert the map and the published catalog stay in sync —
one fails when a Tool is added without a route entry, the other fails
when a route entry references a tool that no longer exists. Verified
by removing the ToolDeleteModel entry locally; the test fired with a
clear message pointing the contributor at the file.
Deliberate non-test: we don't enumerate live admin REST routes from
here. Walking the route registry requires booting Application;
parsing core/http/routes/localai.go is brittle. The "new admin REST
endpoint → MCP tool" direction stays a PR checklist item — see below.
- AGENTS.md gets a new Quick Reference bullet that calls out the rule
and points at the test by name.
- .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md tightens the existing "Companion:
MCP admin tool surface" subsection from "if useful, consider..." to
"MUST be considered, with three concrete outcomes (tool added,
deliberately skipped with documented reason, or forgot — which
breaks the contract)". Adds a checklist item at the bottom of the
file's authoritative checklist.

* refactor(assistant): drop duplicate DTOs, surface canonical types
Audit feedback: localaitools/dto.go reinvented several types that already
existed in the codebase. Replace the duplicates with the canonical types
so the LLM-visible wire format stays aligned with the rest of LocalAI by
construction (no parallel structs to keep in sync).
Removed (and the canonical type now used by the LocalAIClient interface):
localaitools.Gallery → config.Gallery
localaitools.GalleryModelHit → gallery.Metadata
localaitools.VRAMEstimate → vram.EstimateResult
Tightened scope:
localaitools.Backend → kept, but reduced to {Name, Installed}.
ListKnownBackends now returns
[]schema.KnownBackend (the canonical
type already used by REST /backends/known).
Kept with documented rationale:
localaitools.JobStatus — galleryop.OpStatus has Error error which
marshals to "{}". JobStatus is the
JSON-friendly mirror.
localaitools.Node — nodes.BackendNode carries gorm internals
+ token hash; we expose only the
LLM-relevant fields.
ImportModelURIRequest/Response — schema.ImportModelRequest and
GalleryResponse are wire-shaped, mine
are LLM-shaped (BackendPreference flat,
AmbiguousBackend exposed).
Side wins:
- Drop bytesPerMiB; vram.EstimateResult already carries human-readable
display strings (size_display, vram_display) the LLM uses directly.
- Drop the handler-private vramEstimateRequest in
core/http/endpoints/localai/vram.go and bind directly into
modeladmin.VRAMRequest (now JSON-tagged).
Both clients pass through these types now where possible (e.g.
ListGalleries in inproc.Client is a one-liner returning
AppConfig.Galleries; httpapi.Client.GallerySearch decodes straight into
[]gallery.Metadata).
All tests green with -race.

* refactor(assistant): extract REST route paths into named constants
httpapi.Client had 18 bare-string path sites scattered across methods.
Pull them into pkg/mcp/localaitools/httpapi/routes.go: static paths as
package-private constants, dynamic paths as small builders that handle
url.PathEscape on segment values.
No behaviour change. Drops the now-unused net/url import from client.go
since path escaping moved into routes.go alongside the path it applies to.
Local-only by design: the server-side registrations in
core/http/routes/localai.go remain bare strings. Sharing constants across
the pkg/ ↔ core/ boundary would invert the layering today; the existing
Tool↔REST drift-detector in coverage_test.go is the safety net for that
direction.

* docs(assistant): align with shipped UI and dropped bootstrap env vars
The LocalAI Assistant doc still described the older iteration:
- The in-chat toggle was renamed from "Admin" to "Manage" (the badge is
now "Manage mode" and the home page exposes a "Manage by chat" CTA).
- LOCALAI_ASSISTANT_BOOTSTRAP_MODEL / --localai-assistant-bootstrap-model
and the bootstrap_default_model tool were removed — admins pick a model
from the existing selector instead, no env-var configuration required.
- The shipped tool catalog includes import_model_uri but didn't appear in
the doc; bootstrap_default_model appeared but no longer exists.
- The Settings → LocalAI Assistant runtime toggle wasn't mentioned as the
preferred way to disable without restart.

feat(distributed): per-node backend installation from the gallery
In distributed mode the Backends gallery used to fan every install out to every worker — fine for auto-resolving (meta) backends like llama-cpp where each node picks its own variant, but wrong for hardware-specific builds like cpu-llama-cpp that would silently land on every GPU node. Adds a node-targeted install path through the existing POST /api/nodes/:id/backends/install plumbing, with two entry points: - Backends gallery row gets a split-button in distributed mode. Auto- resolving keeps "Install on all nodes" as the primary; chevron menu opens the picker. Hardware-specific routes the primary directly to the picker — no fan-out path on the row. - Nodes-page drawer gets a "+ Add backend" button that navigates to /app/backends?target=<node-id>; the gallery scopes itself to that node (banner, single per-row install button, Reinstall/Remove for already- installed). One gallery, two scopes — no second UI to maintain. The picker (new NodeInstallPicker) shows a 3-state suitability column (Compatible / Override / Installed), an auto-expanding variant override disclosure that fires when selected nodes have no working GPU, parallel per-node installs with inline status and Retry-failed-nodes, and a mismatch confirm that names the consequence on the button itself. A 409 fan-out guard on /api/backends/apply protects CLI/Terraform/script users from the same footgun: hardware-specific installs in distributed mode now return code "concrete_backend_requires_target" with a human- readable error and a meta_alternative pointer. The gallery list payload now surfaces capabilities, metaBackendFor and per-row nodes (NodeBackendRef) so the picker and the new Nodes column have everything they need without re-walking the gallery client-side. GODEBUG=netdns=go is set on the compose services because the cgo DNS resolver follows the container's nsswitch.conf to host systemd-resolved (127.0.0.53), unreachable from inside the container; the pure-Go resolver reads /etc/resolv.conf directly and uses Docker's embedded DNS.

feat(react-ui): polish Manage page with kebab menus and gallery rows
Bring the System / Manage page up to the visual standard of the Install
gallery so installed models and backends stop reading like a debug dump.
- Unified ResourceRow anatomy (icon, name+description, badges, status,
expandable detail) shared across both tabs.
- Gallery enrichment cross-references installed names against the gallery
list endpoints to surface icons, descriptions, license, tags, and links
with a graceful "no description" fallback for custom imports.
- Header summary with four StatCards (Models / Backends / Running /
Updates) — clickable to switch tab + pre-set filter.
- Backends meta + development entries hidden by default; "Show meta &
development" paired toggle in the FilterBar with hidden-count hint.
- Kebab (three-dot) ActionMenu replaces the inline button cluster on
every row; restrained until hover, keyboard-navigable, danger items
separated by a divider.
- Backend "Version" cell now falls back to short digest, OCI tag, or
ocifile basename when no semver is set, instead of showing "—" for
every OCI install. Detail panel exposes full Source URI + Digest.
- Drop redundant column headers ("Actions", "On") — kebabs and toggles
carry their own affordance; screen readers still get a label.
- Inline System / User / Meta / Dev badges next to the backend name so
the dedicated Type column doesn't reserve space for "USER" repeated.
- Tightened the spacing between the System Resources card and the
StatCards so they no longer crowd the RAM bar.
Extracted StatCard and GalleryLoader from Nodes.jsx and Models.jsx into
shared components so the visual language is one source of truth.

feat: add biometrics UI (#9524)
* feat(react-ui): add Face & Voice Recognition pages
Expose the face and voice biometrics endpoints
(/v1/face/*, /v1/voice/*) through the React UI. Each page has four
tabs driving the six endpoints per modality: Analyze (demographics
with bounding boxes / waveform segments), Compare (verify with a
match gauge and live threshold slider), Enrollment (register /
identify / forget with a top-K matches view), Embedding (raw
vector inspector with sparkline + copy).
MediaInput supports file upload plus live capture: webcam
snap-to-canvas for face, MediaRecorder -> AudioContext ->
16-bit PCM mono WAV transcode for voice (libsndfile on the
backend only handles WAV/FLAC/OGG natively).
Sidebar gets a new Biometrics section feature-gated on
face_recognition / voice_recognition; routes are wrapped in
<RequireFeature>. No new dependencies -- Font Awesome icons
picked from the Free set.

* fix(localai): accept data URI prefixes with codec/charset params
Browser MediaRecorder produces data URIs like
data:audio/webm;codecs=opus;base64,...
so the pre-';base64,' section can carry multiple parameter
segments. The `^data:([^;]+);base64,` regex in pkg/utils/base64.go
and core/http/endpoints/localai/audio.go only matched exactly one
segment, so recordings straight from the React UI's live-capture
tab failed the strip and then tripped the base64 decoder on the
leading 'data:' literal, surfacing as
"invalid audio base64: illegal base64 data at input byte 4"
Widened both regexes to `^data:[^,]+?;base64,` so any number of
';param=value' segments between the mime type and ';base64,' are
tolerated. Added a regression test covering the MediaRecorder
shape.

* fix(insightface): scope pack ONNX loading to known manifests
LocalAI's gallery extracts buffalo_* zips flat into the models
directory, which inevitably mixes with ONNX files from other
backends (opencv face engine, MiniFASNet antispoof, WeSpeaker
voice embedding) and older buffalo pack installs. Feeding those
foreign files into insightface's model_zoo.get_model() blows up
inside the router -- it assumes a 4-D NCHW input and indexes
`input_shape[2]` on tensors that aren't shaped like a face model,
raising IndexError mid-load and leaving the backend unusable.
The router's dispatch isn't amenable to per-file try/except alone
(first-file-wins picks det_10g.onnx from buffalo_l even when the
user asked for buffalo_sc -- alphabetical order happens to favour
the wrong pack). Instead, ship an explicit manifest of the
upstream v0.7 pack contents and scope the glob to that when the
requested pack is known. The manifest is small and stable; future
packs can be added alongside or fall through to the tolerance
loop, which also swallows any remaining IndexError / ValueError
from foreign files with a clear `[insightface] skipped` stderr
line for diagnostics.
Assisted-by: Claude:Opus 4.7
* fix(speaker-recognition): extract FBank features for rank-3 ONNX encoders
Pre-exported speaker-encoder ONNX graphs come in two shapes:
rank-2 [batch, samples] -- some 3D-Speaker exports,
take raw waveform directly.
rank-3 [batch, frames, n_mels] -- WeSpeaker and most Kaldi-
lineage encoders, expect
pre-computed Kaldi FBank.
OnnxDirectEngine unconditionally fed `audio.reshape(1, -1)` --
correct for rank-2, IndexError-on-input_shape[3] on rank-3, which
surfaced to the UI as
"Invalid rank for input: feats Got: 2 Expected: 3"
Detect the input rank at session init and run Kaldi FBank
(80-dim, 25ms/10ms frames, dither=0.0, per-utterance CMN) before
the forward pass when rank>=3. All knobs are configurable via
backend options for encoders that deviate from defaults.
torchaudio.compliance.kaldi is already in the backend's
requirements (SpeechBrain pulls torchaudio in), so no new
dependency.

* fix(biometrics): isolate face and voice vector stores
Face (ArcFace, 512-D) and voice (ECAPA-TDNN 192-D / WeSpeaker
256-D) biometric embeddings were colliding inside a single
in-memory local-store instance. Enrolling one after the other
failed with
"Try to add key with length N when existing length is M"
because local-store correctly refuses to mix dimensions in one
keyspace.
The registries were constructed with `storeName=""`, which in
StoreBackend() is just a WithModel() call. But ModelLoader's
cache is keyed on `modelID`, not `model` -- so both registries
collapsed to the same `modelID=""` slot and reused the same
backend process despite looking isolated on paper.
Three complementary fixes:
1. application.go -- give each registry a distinct default
namespace ("localai-face-biometrics" /
"localai-voice-biometrics"). The comment claimed
isolation, now it's actually enforced.
2. stores.go -- pass the storeName as both WithModelID and
WithModel so the ModelLoader cache key separates
namespaces and the loader spawns distinct processes.
3. local-store/store.go -- drop the Load() `opts.Model != ""`
guard. It was there to prevent generic model-loading loops
from picking up local-store by accident, but that auto-load
path is being retired; the guard now just blocks legitimate
namespace isolation. opts.Model is treated as a tag; the
per-tuple process isolation upstream handles discrimination.

* fix(gallery): stale-file cleanup and upgrade-tmp directory safety
Two related robustness fixes for backend install/upgrade:
pkg/downloader/uri.go
OCI downloads passed through
if filepath.Ext(filePath) != "" ...
filePath = filepath.Dir(filePath)
which was intended to redirect file-shaped download targets
into their parent directory for OCI extraction. The heuristic
misfires on directory-shaped paths with a dot-suffix --
gallery.UpgradeBackend uses
tmpPath = "<backendsPath>/<name>.upgrade-tmp"
and Go's filepath.Ext treats ".upgrade-tmp" as an extension.
The rewrite landed the extraction at "<backendsPath>/", which
then **overwrote the real install** (backends/<name>/) with a
flat-layout file and left a stray run.sh at the top level. The
tmp dir itself stayed empty, so the validation step that
checked "<tmpPath>/run.sh" predictably failed with
"upgrade validation failed: run.sh not found in new backend"
Every manual upgrade silently corrupted the backends tree this
way. Guard the rewrite behind "target isn't already an existing
directory" -- InstallBackend / UpgradeBackend both pre-create
the target as a directory, so they get the correct behaviour;
existing file-path callers with a genuine dot-extension still
get the parent redirect.
core/gallery/backends.go
InstallBackend's MkdirAll returned ENOTDIR when something at
the target path was already a file (legacy dev builds dropped
golang backend binaries directly at `<backendsPath>/<name>`
instead of nesting them under their own subdir). That
permanently blocked reinstall and upgrade for anyone carrying
that state, since every retry hit the same error. Detect a
pre-existing non-directory, warn, and remove it before the
MkdirAll so the fresh install can write the correct nested
layout with metadata.json + run.sh.

* fix(galleryop): refresh upgrade cache after backend ops
UpgradeChecker caches the last upgrade-check result and only
refreshes on the 6-hour tick or after an auto-upgrade cycle.
Manual upgrades (POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name) go through
the async galleryop worker, which completes the upgrade
correctly but never tells UpgradeChecker to re-check -- so
/api/backends/upgrades continued to list a just-upgraded backend
as upgradeable, indistinguishable from a failed upgrade, for up
to six hours.
Add an optional `OnBackendOpCompleted func()` hook on
GalleryService that fires after every successful install /
upgrade / delete on the backend channel (async, so a slow
callback doesn't stall the queue). startup.go wires it to
UpgradeChecker.TriggerCheck after both services exist. Result:
the upgrade banner clears within milliseconds of the worker
finishing.

* build: prepend GOPATH/bin to PATH for protogen-go
install-go-tools runs `go install` for protoc-gen-go and
protoc-gen-go-grpc, which writes them into `go env GOPATH`/bin.
That directory isn't on every dev's PATH, and protoc resolves
its code-gen plugins via PATH, so the immediately-following
protoc invocation fails with
"protoc-gen-go: program not found"
which in turn blocks `make build` and any
`make backends/%` target that depends on build.
Prepend `go env GOPATH`/bin to PATH for the protoc invocation
so the freshly-installed plugins are found without requiring a
shell-profile change.

* refactor(ui-api): non-blocking backend upgrade handler with opcache
POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name used to send the ManagementOp
directly onto the unbuffered BackendGalleryChannel, which blocked
the HTTP request whenever the galleryop worker was busy with a
prior operation. The op also didn't show up in /api/operations,
so the Backends UI couldn't reflect upgrade progress on the
affected row.
Register the op in opcache immediately, wrap it in a cancellable
context, store the cancellation function on the GalleryService,
and push onto the channel from a goroutine so the handler
returns right away. Response gains a `jobID` field and a
`message` string so clients have a consistent handle regardless
of whether the op is queued or running.
Pairs with the OnBackendOpCompleted hook added in the galleryop
commit — together the UI sees the upgrade start, watches
progress via /api/operations, and drops the "upgradeable" flag
the moment the worker finishes.
