* server: fix tool calls getting silently stripped with --prefill-assistant
Last assistant carries tool_calls + --prefill-assistant is on → request
flips into continuation mode, add_generation_prompt forced off, tail
rebuilt from reasoning_content + content only. Tool calls just vanish.
- Auto-continuation now skips trailing assistant msgs that have tool calls
- continue_final_message on those throws a clear error instead of
silently corrupting the prompt
- Regression tests included, red before / green after
Fixes#27588
Developed with AI assistance, disclosed per the contribution policy.
* server : address review: fail on prefill-assistant + trailing tool_calls
Move validation into oaicompat_chat_params_parse (next to the existing
two-or-more-assistant check) and remove it from common_chat_templates_apply,
which has no precedent for validation. Drop the regression tests.
Per review: --prefill-assistant with a trailing assistant message
containing tool calls is not supported and should fail loudly.
* fit: also take into account n_streams
* server: make the draft context follow the target context
With a non-unified KV cache the target context now holds n_ctx_train
tokens per sequence, while the draft context was still created with
n_ctx = 0 and fell back to n_ctx_train / n_streams per sequence. A slot
filled beyond that point makes the draft batch fail to decode, and the
server answers 500 on the request.
The draft context now takes its size from the target context, so both
hold the same number of tokens per sequence. Contexts that share their
cells with the target no longer need the kv_size override.
The memory reserved for the draft model before fitting is measured at
the largest context the target can take, since the draft context grows
with the target and a fixed byte margin cannot express that.
* fit: take an optional second model into account
Illustrates the alternative discussed on the draft context fix. The
memory of a draft or MTP context is currently handed to the fit as a
fixed byte margin, which cannot express a memory that grows with the
context the fit is still deciding on.
common_fit_params now takes an optional second model that shares the
devices of the main one. Its context follows the main context and its
memory is measured again whenever that context changes, so the reduce
path stays exact instead of conservative. A model that cannot be
measured on its own, such as a shared cell MTP context, is skipped with
a warning and the main model is fitted alone.
This drops the reservation block in the server, which no longer has to
probe the trained context size of the target to guess an upper bound.

* doc: document MCP stdio servers and CORS defaults in the server README
The MCP arguments were listed but nothing explained what an MCP server
is or how to declare one. Cover the stdio transport, the config keys,
the tool naming, and add a POSIX shell echo server as a minimal
example.
Also document the CORS behavior: the default reflected origin, the
switch to localhost once tools are enabled, and the recommended setting
per deployment.
* doc: drop the inline MCP shell example from the server README
The example parsed JSON-RPC by hand and sat in a page people copy paste
from, into servers spawned with the privileges of llama-server. Point to
the specification instead.
Link the pull request that introduced the feature, and keep a short
mcp.json snippet so the table of configuration keys has a declaration to
refer to.
* ui: move get_datetime tool to frontend
* clarify docs
* server: drop the now unused ctime include
strftime() and gmtime_r() were the only users, both went away with the
get_datetime tool. Also make the renderer's catch inert: the browser
executor always emits JSON, so a non-JSON result is no longer a date to
display.

index.html was served with `max-age=31536000, immutable` like the hashed assets, but its name is stable while its contents change every build, so a cached copy pins the UI to an old build. It now revalidates via its existing ETag, which keeps the 304 for unchanged builds.
* server : save serialized image chunks at the end of the llama state
* server : support multimodal slot state save/restore with packed payload
* server : refine image slot state serialization
* server : support media slot state and centralize media validation
* server : remove unnecessary comment
* server : remove defensive media checks and move the chunk type check to validate()
* server: add read_image tool (#25875)
Adds a server-tool that allows vision models to analyze server-side images.
This tool is reading a single file for now:
The image data is base64 encoded and passed to the UI, which
decodes it, fills the <img> tag and removes the data URI before
passing the tool result back to the model.
* cleanup read_image tool: move magic strings to constants
* Add dedicated constants file: tools/ui/src/lib/constants/read-image.ts
with PREFIX_IMAGE, PREFIX_SIZE, PREFIX_MIME constants
* Use ATTACHMENT_SAVED_REGEX from agentic.ts in ChatMessageToolCallBlockReadImage.svelte
* Use NEWLINE constant from code.ts instead of hardcoded '\n'
* Use PREFIX_SIZE in regex pattern for size parsing
* Add SERVER_TOOL_READ_IMAGE_PREFIX_* constants in C++ server-tools.cpp
to match the TypeScript PREFIX_* constants for consistency
* server: rename read_image tool to read_media for images and audio
* Rename server_tool_read_image to server_tool_read_media in C++
* Rename enum BuiltInTool.READ_IMAGE to READ_MEDIA
* Rename UI constants, parser, and Svelte component files
* Update display label from 'Read image' to 'Read media'
* ui: consolidate audio data URI handling into shared utility
* Extract getAudioInputFormat to a shared utility (was duplicated inline)
* Store raw base64 in base64Data on the message object
* Use base64Data to construct data URIs for audio rendering
* Update agentic store to build INPUT_AUDIO parts from base64Data
* server: read_media: restrict audio to wav/mp3 and minor fixes
* Server get_mime_from_extension now only advertises audio/wav and
audio/mpeg (the only formats the model's input_audio API accepts)
* Case-insensitive extension matching (fixes .MP3, .Wav, etc.)
* Unknown extensions return an error instead of a multi-MB data URI
that inflates model context with garbage
* Updated tool description to document supported formats
* Frontend AUDIO_MIME_TO_EXTENSION trimmed to match server
* fix a missing import in tools/ui/src/lib/stores/agentic.svelte.ts
* server: read_media: add to --tools help text and README tool list
* ui: fix indentation in ChatMessageToolCallBlockDefault.svelte
* server: read_media tool: fix a cast to use the correct type
* server: read_media: multiple fixes
* server-tools.cpp import cctype, remove UTF-8 char, check mime before reading file
* ui: add MimeTypePrefix.AUDIO and use it in agentic.svelte.ts
* server: make read_media inherit from read_file and add uses_cwd
* ui: fix formating issues
* rm from server
* move it to frontend-only tool
* correct partial commit
* rm unused
* ui: address review from allozaur
Replace the magic strings, regexes and number in the read_media parser
and service with named constants. Path splitting reuses
FILE_PATH_SEPARATOR_REGEX, the size header regex moves to
READ_MEDIA_SIZE_REGEX derived from PREFIX_SIZE, and
FILE_EXTENSION_SEPARATOR lands next to it in constants/code.ts.

* server: add an ssh transport to the tools runtime
--tools-runtime ssh:<target> runs the built-in tools on a remote host,
where target is whatever ssh already resolves, a user@host or a config
alias, so no credentials live in llama.cpp.
Only build_argv and upload differ from the docker transport: the remote
shell re-parses the command line, so the argv travels through
shell_quote_join, and files go over scp with the same quoting on the
remote path. Authentication is key-based and the host key must already
be trusted, since the tools run without a console and any prompt would
hang them.
The target is validated before use. The spec can reach us from the
x-tool-runtime header, and a leading dash would turn it into an ssh
option, which is enough to run a command back on the host.
Nothing is created and nothing is reclaimed, so an ssh spec goes
straight to the tool call instead of through the container runtime.
Note that this is remoting rather than isolation: the tools can do
whatever the target account can do, and the isolation is whatever runs
them on the far side.
* server: support podman in the tools runtime
docker and podman expose the same run, exec, cp and inspect verbs with the
same argument order, so a single implementation drives both and the engine
is carried by the spec prefix: podman:<image> and podman-container:<id> sit
next to the docker forms.
tools_io_docker becomes tools_io_container and the runtime spawner becomes
server_tools_container_runtime, both holding the client binary chosen at
parse time. A single parse_container_runtime() resolves every spec, so
adding another engine is one string in the table.
make_tools_io() now rejects the spawning forms. The spec also reaches it
from the x-tool-runtime header, which is client controlled, and only the
runtime that owns a container is allowed to create one: a tool call can
attach to a running container, nothing more.
* ./build/bin/llama-gen-docs
* server: simplify the tools runtime and drop the file copy step
A server_tools_runtime base with one virtual spec() replaces the
container runtime and the bare spec string that ssh needed next to it,
so server_tools is back to a single pointer and neither setup nor the
handler tests which of the two is set.
write_file used to spill its content into a temporary file on the host
and copy it in, because run_subprocess had no way to feed a child. It
now takes an optional stdin payload and creates the parent directory
and the file in a single round trip through a shell in the isolate.
That removes the upload virtual and both implementations: no more
container cp or scp, no second binary on the host, no sftp subsystem on
the target, no predictable temporary in a shared tmp, and none of the
content reaching an argv the remote shell re-parses. It also fixes
write_file over ssh, which never worked: scp speaks sftp and takes the
remote path literally, so quoting it kept the quotes in the file name.
Writing the payload before reading the output relies on the child
draining stdin as it goes, which holds for cat, its only user today.
* ./build/bin/llama-gen-docs
* server: harden the tools runtime against argv injection and a stdin stall
Validate the container id from x-tool-runtime and --tools-runtime the
same way the ssh target already is, so an id shaped like an option
(docker-container:--privileged) is rejected before it reaches the
engine's exec command line instead of running against a hardened
container. Feed the child's stdin after the watchdog is armed, so a
transport that stalls mid-write is terminated at the deadline rather
than blocking the request forever.
Cover both guards and fix the unknown-scheme test, which used ssh: as
its example and now names a real runtime.
* tests: exercise the tools runtime tests on podman as well as docker
Follow-up #26507. The container runtime drives docker and podman
through one implementation, so parametrize the availability helper,
the container fixture and the attach test on the engine, and cover
both engine prefixes in the container id injection test. Each engine
skips on its own when it is not installed.
The spawn cleanup test stays docker only: it recovers the spawned id
from the container hostname, which docker sets to the short id and
podman rootless does not guarantee. Podman keeps its coverage through
the attach path.
* server: release the container handle before respawning
Follow-up #26507. create() writes over the handle it is given, so a
respawn after the container died on its own leaked the pipes and the
process handle of the previous one.
* server: trim the tools runtime comments
* server: read tool output as raw bytes and harden the runtime on Windows
The stdout pipe is read with read() instead of fgets(), so a chunk
can hold any byte, including NUL, and still streams as soon as data
is available. Past the size cap the pipe keeps draining so the child
never blocks on a full pipe. Both pipe fds are forced to binary mode
on Windows, where the CRT defaults them to text mode and translates
line endings in both directions. Stdin is now always closed after
the feed: the child reads a deterministic EOF, and the Windows
docker and ssh clients stop outliving their command on a stdin pipe
that never closes.
The attach form of --tools-runtime has no lifecycle to own, so it
becomes a static target validated once at startup. This removes the
subprocess that ran on every tool call and
serialized calls behind a mutex; a stopped container now surfaces
the engine's own error at exec time.
The cidfile path is passed as UTF-8, matching the encoding the
subprocess layer expects for the CreateProcessW command line, so
the spawn form works from a non-ASCII Windows profile.
The SIGPIPE note in server.cpp now names the tools runtime children
as well as the MCP ones.
* clean up comments
* less pollute global scope
* nits
* tests: name the container image after both engines

docker info only proves the daemon answers, so the Windows CI passes
the check and then dies trying to run a linux image. The hosted
Windows runners cannot run one: GitHub states the VMs are not enabled
for nested virtualization and will not be, since they already sit one
level deep and the hypervisor does not support more levels
(https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/25491). Probing the
image itself skips those tests there, and pulls it before the server
waits for the container id.
* server: report the isolate working directory from get_info
Without an explicit cwd, get_info fell back to the server process
working directory even when a tools runtime was configured. That named a
host path no tool would ever run in, since an isolate starts in a
directory of its own.
It now asks the isolate for its working directory in that case, and
keeps the process one only when the tools run on the host.
* remove redundant comment

The working directory chip showed up as soon as the server exposed any
builtin tool, so a server started with just get_datetime, or a user who
turned every filesystem tool off in the settings, still got a control
that nothing would read.
Tools now declare whether they resolve their paths and run against the
working directory, next to the write permission they already publish in
the /tools listing. The WebUI shows the chip and enables the /cwd
command only when at least one such tool is both served and left
enabled.
* server: don't walk Windows junctions in file_glob_search
std::filesystem reports a junction as a plain directory, so the symlink
guard misses it and a junction pointing back at an ancestor is walked
until the path length gives out
read the reparse tag and treat a symlink and a mount point as links,
leaving any other reparse point walkable so cloud placeholders and dedup
stubs still get searched
look junk directory names up case insensitively on Windows, where NTFS
makes Build the same directory as build
test that a junk directory stays selectable while its contents stay out
of search results
* server: report a directory the walk could not read
a directory that fails to open or to iterate was skipped in silence, so
a caller got a listing that looked complete while a whole subtree was
missing: a path over the platform limit, a volume going away, a name the
filesystem rejects
skip_permission_denied never reaches this path, so an error here is an
incomplete answer rather than a deliberate omission, and it now sets the
truncated flag
* server: simplify the file_glob_search listing plumbing
return a small result struct instead of two out params and a caller path
that only fed an error string, taking list_entries from six parameters
down to three
scope the error code to the directory being read, act on the status code
the entry lookups already returned, and treat an unreadable link state as
a link so the walk never descends on a guess
check the deadline when a directory is popped, not only per entry, so a
tree of empty directories cannot outlive the budget
read the path parameter once, and reject an invalid limit the way an
invalid type is already rejected, instead of silently falling back
normalize the resolved path, so a "." or ".." a caller typed reaches
neither git nor the client, and return the generic path form with '/'
separators on every platform, so the base sent to clients no longer needs
a local fixup
* ui: expire cached picker searches
the cache grew for the lifetime of the component: entries went stale
after the TTL but were never removed, so every distinct query typed in a
session stayed in memory
drop expired entries when a new result is stored
* server: address review from @ngxson
trim comments to one line each, and drop two that restate the code
rename junk_lookup_name to get_effective_name, and move it and the link
check to private static members next to junk_dir_names
merge the Windows and Linux link checks into one is_link, so symlinks are
checked everywhere and junctions only add to it on Windows
* server: convert tool paths as UTF-8 on Windows
a narrow path uses the active code page there, so a file name came back
mangled and a path with an accent could not be opened at all
convert explicitly at every crossing between a std::string, which always
carries UTF-8 here, and fs::path
read the home directory through the wide environment, since the narrow
one returns the profile path in the active code page too
the walker no longer normalizes separators by hand, since paths now come
back in generic form
* server: fold the platform branch inside console_output_to_utf8
match the shape of the other helpers, one definition with the #if inside,
instead of two definitions wrapped in #if and #else
inline the single caller helper and trim the comment
a child process writes in the OEM code page, which is not UTF-8 on a
western Windows install, so accented output reaches the JSON layer as
invalid bytes and gets replaced there, silently losing the characters
run() spawns without a console, so the child never inherits the console
code page and GetOEMCP is the one that applies
decode with MB_ERR_INVALID_CHARS so a wrong code page returns the text
untouched instead of emitting replacement characters, and pass text that
already decodes as UTF-8 through so a child emitting UTF-8 is never
decoded twice
the check drops an incomplete trailing sequence before validating, since
a streamed chunk can end in the middle of a multi-byte character
* Resolve -1 to 1024 instead of ctx-len for samplers
Because of backend-sampling we initialize samplers before the complete
llama_context is there. Therefore, we cannot infer the resolved context
length yet at the time we construct the samplers.
* Shared default of 64 for history-based samplers, remove context_size
* server : extend file_glob_search for UI pickers
* ui : add per-conversation working directory with picker
* ui : add path navigation and search scope to cwd picker
Treat path-like queries (starting with / or ~) as directory navigation
instead of glob-matching the whole query: search the parent for the last
segment, and descend into an exactly-typed directory by listing its
children. Show the effective search scope in the footer and auto-search
on open so the current directory and its siblings appear immediately.

recognize a drive root (C:) and a UNC share (//host/share) as path
navigation, alongside the POSIX root and ~, so a query like D:\repos
lists that directory instead of glob-matching it under the home dir
split below the root, so a bare drive resolves to its root rather than
to a drive-relative prefix
rewrite backslashes into forward slashes only when the query carries a
Windows root, since a backslash is a legal POSIX filename character
paths keep travelling with forward slashes, which is what the server
returns and what Windows accepts
