Align LocalAI with the Linux kernel project's policy for AI-assisted
contributions (https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html).
- Add .agents/ai-coding-assistants.md with the full policy adapted to
LocalAI's MIT license: no Signed-off-by or Co-Authored-By from AI,
attribute AI involvement via an Assisted-by: trailer, human submitter
owns the contribution.
- Surface the rules at the entry points: AGENTS.md (and its CLAUDE.md
symlink) and CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Publish a user-facing reference page at
docs/content/reference/ai-coding-assistants.md and link it from the
references index.

New .agents/vllm-backend.md with everything that's easy to get wrong
on the vllm/vllm-omni backends:
- Use vLLM's native ToolParserManager / ReasoningParserManager — do
not write regex-based parsers. Selection is explicit via Options[],
defaults live in core/config/parser_defaults.json.
- Concrete parsers don't always accept the tools= kwarg the abstract
base declares; try/except TypeError is mandatory.
- ChatDelta.tool_calls is the contract — Reply.message text alone
won't surface tool calls in /v1/chat/completions.
- vllm version pin trap: 0.14.1+cpu pairs with torch 2.9.1+cpu.
Newer wheels declare torch==2.10.0+cpu which only exists on the
PyTorch test channel and pulls an incompatible torchvision.
- SIMD baseline: prebuilt wheel needs AVX-512 VNNI/BF16. SIGILL
symptom + FROM_SOURCE=true escape hatch are documented.
- libnuma.so.1 + libgomp.so.1 must be bundled because vllm._C
silently fails to register torch ops if they're missing.
- backend_hooks system: hooks_llamacpp / hooks_vllm split + the
'*' / '' / named-backend keys.
- ToProto() must serialize ToolCallID and Reasoning — easy to miss
when adding fields to schema.Message.
Also extended .agents/adding-backends.md with a generic 'Bundling
runtime shared libraries' section: Dockerfile.python is FROM scratch,
package.sh is the mechanism, libbackend.sh adds ${EDIR}/lib to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and how to verify packaging without trusting the
host (extract image, boot in fresh ubuntu container).

* feat: add fine-tuning endpoint

* feat(experimental): add fine-tuning endpoint and TRL support
This changeset defines new GRPC signatues for Fine tuning backends, and
add TRL backend as initial fine-tuning engine. This implementation also
supports exporting to GGUF and automatically importing it to LocalAI
after fine-tuning.

* fix(realtime): Send delta and done events for tool calls and audio transcripts
Ensure that content is sent in both deltas and done events for function call arguments and audio transcripts. This fixes compatibility with clients that rely on delta events for parsing.

* fix(realtime): Improve tool call handling and error reporting
- Refactor Model interface to accept []types.ToolUnion and *types.ToolChoiceUnion
instead of JSON strings, eliminating unnecessary marshal/unmarshal cycles
- Fix Parameters field handling: support both map[string]any and JSON string formats
- Add PredictConfig() method to Model interface for accessing model configuration
- Add comprehensive debug logging for tool call parsing and function config
- Add missing return statement after prediction error (critical bug fix)
- Add warning logs for NoAction function argument parsing failures
- Improve error visibility throughout generateResponse function

* feat(function): Add XML Tool Call Parsing Support
Extend the function parsing system in LocalAI to support XML-style tool calls, similar to how JSON tool calls are currently parsed. This will allow models that return XML format (like <tool_call><function=name><parameter=key>value</parameter></function></tool_call>) to be properly parsed alongside text content.
