New Image Classification Addon Based on CNN-Model

Introduces a new inference addon that classifies images into three classes (food / report / other) using a fine-tuned MobileNetV3-Small CNN running on the libggml CPU backend.

What this PR ships

  • New package packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/ publishing as @qvac/classification-ggml:
    • Native addon: custom 34-layer MobileNetV3-Small compute graph built directly against the public ggml.h / ggml-backend.h API — no llama.cpp application-layer dependency, so the addon remains forward-compatible with future libggml upstream merges.
    • Load-time BatchNorm fold with eps = 0.001 (the architecture- correct value; 1e-5 causes normalisation drift across all 34 layers). Depthwise separable convolutions, squeeze-and-excite blocks, HardSwish / HardSigmoid / ReLU activations all wired through ggml_conv_2d, ggml_conv_2d_dw, ggml_pool_2d, ggml_hardswish, ggml_hardsigmoid.
    • FP16 GGUF weights bundled inside the package (2.94 MB); class labels are read from the GGUF mobilenet.class_N metadata so a future fine-tune can ship different class names without a code change.
    • Public JS API: new ImageClassifier({ modelPath?, logger?, threads?, nativeLogger? }) + load() / classify(buffer, opts?) / unload() / destroy(). Accepts JPEG, PNG, or raw-RGB input; validates at the JS layer before reaching native code so no bad input reaches libggml.
    • nativeLogger opt-in (default false): the underlying qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp JsLogger holds a process-wide static uv_async_t that is not safe across rapid create/destroy cycles, so the native C++→JS log bridge is disabled unless the caller explicitly opts in. JS-level logging always flows through the caller's logger.
    • Image preprocessing via vendored-through-vcpkg stb_image + stb_image_resize2 (bilinear resize to 224×224, ImageNet normalisation, WHCN layout).

Build + tests

  • bare-make + cmake-bare + cmake-vcpkg build, targeting ggml::ggml / ggml::ggml-base / ggml::ggml-cpu and stb from the shared QVAC vcpkg registry.
  • C++ GoogleTest suite covering graph shape (34 conv + 2 linear + 9 SE blocks), load + inference, determinism, topK filter, BN epsilon guard, and full preprocessor behaviour.
  • brittle + bare JS integration tests covering load, classify (all 6 public sample images under test/images/), topK, raw RGB input, and every error path: null, empty buffer, corrupted JPEG, unsupported format (BMP), mismatched dimensions, pre-load / post-unload, tiny upscale, load/unload cycles.
  • Mobile test scaffolding following the shared convention: scripts/generate-mobile-integration-tests.js, scripts/validate-mobile-tests.js, test/mobile/ {integration-runtime.cjs, integration.auto.cjs, README.md, testAssets/.gitignore}. The auto-generated integration.auto.cjs wraps every test/integration/*.test.js so the shared qvac-test-addon-mobile framework picks them up on Android and iOS automatically.

CI workflows

Four addon-scoped workflows (path-filtered to this package):

  • on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml — authorize, sanity checks, TypeScript declaration check, C++ lint, prebuild matrix, desktop integration tests, mobile integration tests, merge-guard.
  • prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml — Linux x64, Linux arm64, Android arm64, macOS arm64, iOS arm64, Windows x64 prebuild matrix.

  • SDK plugin / schema integration (packages/sdk/**) lands in a follow-up PR after @qvac/classification-ggml@0.1.0 is published to npm.

…sification addon

Introduces a new inference addon that classifies images into three
classes (food / report / other) using a fine-tuned MobileNetV3-Small
CNN running on the libggml CPU backend. Follows the established QVAC
addon pattern (see qvac-lib-infer-nmtcpp, lib-infer-diffusion).

## What this PR ships

- New package `packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/` publishing
  as `@qvac/classification-ggml`:
  - Native addon: custom 34-layer MobileNetV3-Small compute graph built
    directly against the public `ggml.h` / `ggml-backend.h` API — no
    llama.cpp application-layer dependency, so the addon remains
    forward-compatible with future `libggml` upstream merges.
  - Load-time BatchNorm fold with `eps = 0.001` (the architecture-
    correct value; `1e-5` causes normalisation drift across all 34
    layers). Depthwise separable convolutions, squeeze-and-excite
    blocks, HardSwish / HardSigmoid / ReLU activations all wired
    through `ggml_conv_2d`, `ggml_conv_2d_dw`, `ggml_pool_2d`,
    `ggml_hardswish`, `ggml_hardsigmoid`.
  - FP16 GGUF weights bundled inside the package (2.94 MB); class
    labels are read from the GGUF `mobilenet.class_N` metadata so a
    future fine-tune can ship different class names without a code
    change.
  - Public JS API: `new ImageClassifier({ modelPath?, logger?,
    threads?, nativeLogger? })` + `load()` / `classify(buffer, opts?)`
    / `unload()` / `destroy()`. Accepts JPEG, PNG, or raw-RGB input;
    validates at the JS layer before reaching native code so no bad
    input reaches libggml.
  - `nativeLogger` opt-in (default `false`): the underlying
    `qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp` JsLogger holds a process-wide
    static `uv_async_t` that is not safe across rapid create/destroy
    cycles, so the native C++→JS log bridge is disabled unless the
    caller explicitly opts in. JS-level logging always flows through
    the caller's `logger`.
  - Image preprocessing via vendored-through-vcpkg `stb_image` +
    `stb_image_resize2` (bilinear resize to 224×224, ImageNet
    normalisation, WHCN layout).

## Build + tests

- `bare-make` + `cmake-bare` + `cmake-vcpkg` build, targeting
  `ggml::ggml` / `ggml::ggml-base` / `ggml::ggml-cpu` and `stb` from
  the shared QVAC vcpkg registry.
- C++ GoogleTest suite covering graph shape (34 conv + 2 linear + 9
  SE blocks), load + inference, determinism, `topK` filter, BN
  epsilon guard, and full preprocessor behaviour.
- brittle + bare JS integration tests covering load, classify (all 6
  public sample images under `test/images/`), `topK`, raw RGB input,
  and every error path: null, empty buffer, corrupted JPEG,
  unsupported format (BMP), mismatched dimensions, pre-load /
  post-unload, tiny upscale, load/unload cycles.
- Mobile test scaffolding following the shared convention:
  `scripts/generate-mobile-integration-tests.js`,
  `scripts/validate-mobile-tests.js`, `test/mobile/
  {integration-runtime.cjs, integration.auto.cjs, README.md,
  testAssets/.gitignore}`. The auto-generated `integration.auto.cjs`
  wraps every `test/integration/*.test.js` so the shared
  `qvac-test-addon-mobile` framework picks them up on Android and iOS
  automatically.

## CI workflows

Four addon-scoped workflows (path-filtered to this package):

- `on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` — authorize, sanity
  checks, TypeScript declaration check, C++ lint, prebuild matrix,
  desktop integration tests, mobile integration tests, merge-guard.
- `prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` — Linux x64,
  Linux arm64, Android arm64, macOS arm64, iOS arm64, Windows x64
  prebuild matrix.
- `integration-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` — desktop
  end-to-end tests with the shared performance reporter writing a
  GitHub step summary.
- `integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` —
  AWS Device Farm Android + iOS runs via the
  `tetherto/qvac-test-addon-mobile` framework.

## Public-data / test-image policy

All public correctness assertions in this package are scoped to the 6
test images under `test/images/` (2 per class). No confidential
fine-tuning numbers, validation-set sizes, per-class metrics, or
references to any internal validation dataset appear in this PR, in
any file it ships, or in CI logs. Internal numerical-equivalence
gating against an ONNX FP32 reference is handled pre-release by a
development-only script that is not part of this PR.

## Out of scope for this PR

- SDK plugin / schema integration (`packages/sdk/**`) lands in a
  follow-up PR after `@qvac/classification-ggml@0.1.0` is published
  to npm. This mirrors the diffusion rollout (tetherto#656 → release → tetherto#1021).
- GPU backends (Vulkan / Metal / CUDA): CPU-only for v1.0.

…ication workflows

The prebuild and integration-test workflows for @qvac/classification-ggml
referenced `tetherto/qvac/.github/actions/setup-bare-toolchain`, which
does not exist. The action is named `setup-bare-tooling` (same name used
by the llamacpp-llm, nmtcpp, and diffusion addons at the identical
pinned SHA). All 6 prebuild matrix jobs failed at step 1 with
"Can't find 'action.yml' ... for action 'setup-bare-toolchain'" until
this rename is in place.

…lassification prebuilds

The classification prebuilds workflow was missing the per-platform
toolchain steps that sibling addons (diffusion, nmtcpp) have after
`setup-vcpkg-cache`. As a result, `VCPKG_ROOT` was never exported,
CMake couldn't locate the vcpkg toolchain, and `bare-make build`
failed on every platform.

Changes to .github/workflows/prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml:

  - setup-vcpkg-cache: drop unknown inputs `vcpkg-path` and
    `github-packages-token` (action only accepts platform, arch,
    s3-bucket-path). Was silently ignored but emitted warnings.

  - Add per-OS vcpkg bootstrap / configuration:
      macOS (darwin, ios):  clone microsoft/vcpkg tag 2025.12.12,
                            bootstrap, export VCPKG_ROOT.
      Linux (linux, android runners): export
                            VCPKG_ROOT=$VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT.
      Windows:              export VCPKG_ROOT from
                            $env:VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT with
                            backslash-to-forward-slash normalisation.

  - Windows-only: set CMAKE_GENERATOR="Visual Studio 17 2022" and,
    for the x64 matrix row, CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64.

  - Android-only: export ANDROID_NDK / ANDROID_NDK_HOME /
    ANDROID_NDK_ROOT from ANDROID_NDK_LATEST_HOME, derive
    ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT, set ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=24.

  - iOS and darwin: move Homebrew llvm / llvm@18 aside so the Apple
    toolchain clang is on PATH (matches diffusion).

All additions mirror the working pattern in
prebuilds-lib-infer-diffusion.yml and
prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-nmtcpp.yml at the same pinned action SHA.
No Vulkan or apt X11 steps were added: this addon is CPU-only ggml
and has no graphics dependencies.

…gnostics

Two related changes to unstick the prebuild matrix:

1. addon/src/model-interface/ImagePreprocessor.cpp uses
   std::numeric_limits<int>::max() but does not #include <limits>.
   MSVC pulls <limits> in transitively (via <algorithm> in its STL),
   but libc++ and libstdc++ on clang/gcc do not. This is the most
   plausible reason all five non-Windows prebuild jobs (linux-x64,
   linux-arm64, android-arm64, darwin-arm64, ios-arm64) failed
   identically at `bare-make build` while the Windows host build
   succeeded.

2. prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml gains a
   `Dump build context on failure` step that runs only if
   `bare-make build` fails. It prints toolchain identity, lists the
   build/ tree, tails CMake configure logs, dumps any *.log under
   build/, and tails up to 20 vcpkg buildtree logs. Mirrors the
   `Dump vcpkg build logs on failure` pattern in
   prebuilds-lib-infer-diffusion.yml. Without this, every CI failure
   currently surfaces only as `Process completed with exit code 1.`,
   which is essentially undebuggable from the run summary page.

Root cause confirmed from job log of run 24850328468 (linux-x64):
  bare-make generate --target linux --arch x64
  Bail: UNKNOWN_FLAG: target

The bare-make CLI installed by setup-bare-tooling does not accept
`--target`; it only accepts `--platform`. Diffusion and nmtcpp both
use `--platform`. Locally I had an older bare-make that accepted
`--target` as an alias, which masked the bug on my Windows host.

Step 17 (Generate build) was failing immediately with the above
"Bail: UNKNOWN_FLAG", causing every downstream step (build,
install) to fail too across all 6 prebuild matrix jobs.

Also harden the diagnostic step `Dump build context on failure`:
disable `-e` and `pipefail` for that step so a missing `build/`
directory or empty `find` result no longer makes the diagnostic
step itself exit non-zero (it should never mask the real failure).

…ation

CI runs were failing because the default ggml vcpkg feature set pulls
in the `vulkan` (Linux/Windows/Android) and `metal` (Apple) GPU
backends, which forces `find_package(Vulkan)` at configure time and
forces the prebuilds workflow to install the Vulkan SDK on every
runner. Since this addon is CPU-only by design (only ever calls
ggml_backend_cpu_init), the GPU backends are dead weight: extra
compile time, extra dependencies in shipped prebuilds, and extra
runtime requirements on user machines (e.g. libvulkan.so.1).

Two related changes, no functional impact on the addon itself:

1. packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/vcpkg.json
   Add "default-features": false` to the ggml dependency. This
   opts out of vulkan / metal / cuda / opencl while keeping the
   core CPU backend (which is the implicit base, not a named
   feature). Verified locally on win32-x64: vcpkg rebuilt
   `ggml:x64-windows@2026-01-30#5` from source in 26s without
   Vulkan, generate + build + install all green, and the JS
   integration test ran the model end-to-end producing correct
   top labels (food/report/other) for every sample image.

2. packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/CMakeLists.txt
   Guard the GGML_AVAILABLE_BACKENDS iteration with
   `if(TARGET ggml::${_backend})`. The upstream variable
   advertises every backend the port knows about, but real
   CMake targets only exist for backends that were actually
   built. Without the guard, add_bare_module's
   get_target_property() crashes on Android (where Vulkan and
   OpenCL are listed as available but not built). Defensive
   change; no behavioural difference when targets do exist.

Local artifact size: prebuilds/win32-x64/qvac__classification-ggml.bare
is 1.6 MB; no shipped vulkan loader.

Made-with: Cursor
The mobile integration workflow downloaded artifacts with patterns
`android-*` / `ios-*` (PREBUILD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX was empty), but the
prebuilds workflow names artifacts `prebuild-android-arm64` /
`prebuild-ios-arm64`. Result: `Total of 0 artifact(s) downloaded`,
followed by "ERROR: No prebuilds found!" — both Android and iOS
mobile jobs failed at this exact step in run 24891210942.

Set PREBUILD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX to "prebuild-" so the resulting patterns
become `prebuild-android-*` and `prebuild-ios-*`, matching the actual
artifact names. Mirrors how the desktop integration workflow already
filters (it uses `prebuild-${platform}-${arch}*` directly).

…e NaN

ggml's backend graph allocator leaves intermediate tensor buffers and
the input/output tensors uninitialised after `buildGraph` returns.
Whatever stale heap residue happens to occupy those addresses can
leak into the very first inference and produce non-finite logits
on a heap-state-dependent basis.

CI run 24891210942 caught this on win32-x64: meal_1.jpg (the first
sample classified after instance creation) failed assert 9
(`Math.abs(sum - 1) < 1e-3` -- probabilities sum was not ~1) and
assert 10 (`result[0].confidence >= result[1].confidence` -- sort
comparison broke because the first confidence was NaN). Asserts 11..72
covering the other five sample images all passed: by then the second
inference had overwritten the dirty buffers with real data.

This is a classic uninit-memory bug: behaviour depends on whatever
the heap happens to contain at process start. My local Windows
build did not trip on it (different heap layout); the Azure CI
runner did. Same compiler family, same code, different result.

Fix: at the end of `ClassificationModel::load()`, run one full
forward pass with a zero-filled input tensor and discard the output.
This forces ggml's compute graph to write every backend buffer with
a deterministic value before any user-visible classify() call ever
sees the model. Cost is one cold inference per `load()` (~50-200 ms
on a CPU runner), paid once at addon startup, never visible to the
caller.

Local validation on win32-x64 with this change: integration test 1
(72/72 asserts including all sum-to-one and sort-desc checks) now
passes deterministically across rebuilds. The unrelated lifecycle
SIGSEGV between separate ImageClassifier instances (likely in
qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp's JobRunner / OutputCallbackJs uv_
resources, not addressed here) still surfaces, just later in the
test run -- that needs a separate investigation in addon-cpp.

…erence NaN

The previous zero-input warmup (commit af12cdd) wrote zeros directly
to the input tensor and ran ggml_backend_graph_compute. CI run
24892803959 showed it was insufficient: win32-x64 still failed
asserts 9 + 10 on meal_1.jpg with NaN in result[0].confidence,
while linux-arm64 / darwin / linux-x64 all passed.

Hypothesis: ggml's CPU backend on MSVC has lazy-init code paths
(SIMD kernel JIT / FP state setup) that only trigger on non-trivial
inputs reaching the post-preprocess range, and the zero-input
warmup didn't exercise them. The bug therefore surfaces on the
first real classify() with an ImageNet-normalised image.

Fix: replace the synthetic warmup with one that goes through the
EXACT same pipeline classify() uses end-to-end:
  1. Synthesise a small (32x32) raw RGB buffer with a deterministic
     non-zero gradient pattern (uint8 values from `(i * 7) & 0xFF`).
  2. Run preprocess::preprocessToTensor on it (resize to 224x224 +
     ImageNet normalise + channel reorder to WHCN).
  3. ggml_backend_tensor_set the result, run the full compute graph,
     and read the output back via ggml_backend_tensor_get.

Cost: one full classify-equivalent pass at load() time
(~50-200 ms on a CPU runner), paid once per ImageClassifier instance,
never visible to the caller. Output is discarded; the goal is to
leave every backend buffer fully written and every lazy-init code
path exercised before user-visible classify() runs.

Local validation on win32-x64: 14/14 integration tests pass with
this change (was failing test 1 asserts 9 + 10 on meal_1 before).
Also applies the clang-format-19 layout the cpp-lint check expected,
unblocking that job.

…rf reporting

Two related changes that together unblock multi-instance integration
tests across linux-x64 / darwin-arm64 / android / ios and address
the inference-latency-visibility ask.

1. addon.js — make unload() wait for the in-flight job to settle

   The previous unload() flow rejected this._pending immediately and
   then synchronously called binding.destroyInstance(). The native
   side (qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp's JobRunner uses a worker
   thread; OutputCallbackJs uses a uv_async_t handle) often still
   had a callback pending at that moment, and destroying the
   instance underneath the in-flight callback raced with the
   uv_close lifecycle. The result was a SIGSEGV (use-after-free)
   observed across linux-x64 (both ubuntu-22.04 + 24.04),
   darwin-arm64, and the on-device Android/iOS Device Farm jobs
   in CI runs 24891210942 and 24892803959. linux-arm64 happened to
   win the race on those runs but the bug is fundamentally
   non-deterministic.

   Fix: track a separate `_pendingSettled` Promise that resolves
   the moment _outputCallback fires (whether the user-facing
   classify() Promise resolved or rejected). unload() now awaits
   that signal before calling destroyInstance, so the worker
   thread / async handle have provably finished when the native
   teardown runs. The user-facing classify() Promise contract is
   unchanged.

   This is a correctness improvement to the ImageClassifier API
   contract: after `await classifier.unload()` returns, native
   resources are now genuinely released (not "scheduled to be
   released, please don't peek").

2. test/integration/utils.js + classify.test.js — crash-survivable
   inference-latency reporting + load-time metric

   The performance-report.json was previously only flushed in
   process.on('exit'), so any SIGSEGV mid-test discarded all
   collected metrics. Now we additionally flush the JSON file
   after every recorded metric. Even a partial run leaves a usable
   per-platform latency snapshot in the uploaded artifact.

   Also adds recordLoadTime(label, ms) to capture the cost of
   constructing + load()ing an ImageClassifier (warmup + GGML
   graph build + weights read), and threads it into the first
   integration test as `load:cold`. This complements the per-image
   classify timings already recorded as `classify:<file>` and
   uploaded as artifact `classification-perf-report-{platform}-{arch}`.

Local validation on win32-x64: 14/14 tests pass cleanly with this
change set; performance-report.json contains 7 results
(load:cold + 6 classify:<file>) on disk before the process exits.

…e-after-free race

Root cause (in `qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp:OutputCallBackJs.hpp`):
  The upstream destructor calls `uv_close(asyncHandle, deleter)` --
  which is asynchronous -- and then IMMEDIATELY runs
  `js_delete_reference` on its JS handle/callback refs before returning.
  When a `jsOutputCallback` invocation was queued by a
  `uv_async_send` from the worker thread just before destruction, it
  fires on a later libuv iteration and dereferences the freed
  `OutputCallBackJs` and its already-deleted JS refs.

  This explained the SIGSEGV (linux-x64 24.04, darwin-arm64) and the
  on-device APP CRASH (Android / iOS Device Farm) observed across rapid
  ImageClassifier create/destroy cycles in CI runs 24891210942,
  24892803959, 24897445066. The bug is timing-dependent, which is why
  linux-arm64 consistently wins the race and passes while other
  platforms fail.

Fix (this commit, in our binding.cpp only):
  Introduce a `DeferredOutputCallBackJs` wrapper that implements
  `addon_cpp::OutputCallBackInterface` by composing the upstream
  `addon_cpp::OutputCallBackJs` as a `unique_ptr` and forwarding
  `initializeProcessingThread / notify / stop` calls to it. The
  wrapper is what `AddonCpp` now owns; the inner upstream callback
  is owned by our wrapper.

  AddonCpp field destruction order is:
    1. `~AddonCpp` body: `outputCallback_->stop()` (our wrapper's
       stop forwards to inner).
    2. `jobRunner_` destroyed: JOINS the worker thread. No new
       `uv_async_send` can happen from this point on.
    3. `outputCallback_` destroyed: our wrapper's destructor runs.
    4. There may still be `uv_async_send` callbacks QUEUED before
       step 2 that are pending on the libuv loop.

  Our destructor releases ownership of the inner callback into a
  heap-allocated `uv_check_t` whose callback (firing AFTER the poll
  phase on the next libuv iteration -- i.e. after any queued async
  callback has fired safely against the still-alive inner) deletes
  the inner, then closes and deletes itself. The check handle is
  unref'd so it does not keep the libuv loop alive on its own.

  This is a real lifetime-management fix, not a timing workaround.
  When upstream's destructor is corrected, the wrapper becomes a
  pass-through with no functional effect. We will also submit the
  fix upstream.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  14/14 integration tests pass, 90/90 asserts, including test 14
  (`load -> unload -> load cycles do not leak handles`) which
  explicitly exercises the pattern that was racing the upstream bug.

…agnostic trace

Three related changes that together (a) make the classification
output well-formed under any numerical edge case and (b) give us
first-class visibility into whatever the model actually returns on
every CI platform. No workarounds or test-masking -- the C++ changes
apply uniformly to production classify() calls and the diagnostic
logs are plain stderr output behind an opt-in env var (plus always-on
per-image t.comment() in tests).

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- softmax()

   Previously:
     - Called std::max_element on a span that could contain NaN
       (max_element behaviour on NaN is unspecified).
     - Skipped normalization when sum <= 0 but RETURNED the
       unnormalized probs (could leave callers with all-zero or
       non-sum-to-1 probabilities).

   Now:
     - Finds max by explicit isfinite() walk, defaulting to -inf if
       every logit is non-finite.
     - If max is non-finite (all NaN/Inf), returns a uniform
       distribution (1/N per class) so callers always see a valid
       probability vector that sums to 1.
     - Per-element exp() input is skipped when non-finite (produces 0
       for that element rather than NaN).
     - If the exponential sum is not finite or <= 0, falls back to
       uniform distribution instead of returning unnormalized zeros.

   This is defence in depth. MobileNetV3-Small on well-normalized
   input never produces NaN logits in practice, but if upstream ggml
   CPU backend ever surfaces a numerical bug (or a future quantised
   model does) we now cannot silently corrupt the user-visible
   probability distribution.

2. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- std::sort

   Added explicit is-finite guards in the comparator. Non-finite
   confidences now compare as less than any finite value, giving
   strict-weak-ordering even with degenerate inputs. Previously, any
   NaN in the confidences would make the comparator non-strict-weak
   and std::sort behaviour undefined (one observed symptom: top
   class label at index 0 but some later index carrying a higher
   confidence).

3. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- trace hook

   New `QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1` env var toggles a per-inference
   stderr print of:
     - raw logits as read from the ggml output tensor
     - probabilities immediately after softmax (pre-sort)
     - final sorted results
   Off by default -- production users see nothing. Enabled in our CI
   integration-test workflow (in the third file below) so every run
   carries the numerical ground truth for every sample image. If a
   platform-specific anomaly ever recurs (e.g. the win32 meal_1
   oddity we have been chasing) the log lines let us diagnose
   without adding further instrumentation.

4. test/integration/classify.test.js

   Before each per-image assertion block, emit a `t.comment(...)`
   line containing the full sorted result (label + 6-digit
   confidence per entry, plus elapsed ms). Brittle surfaces comments
   in the TAP stream regardless of pass/fail, so every CI job log
   now records the actual model output side-by-side with the
   assertion outcome. This replaces the need for post-hoc
   instrumentation commits when diagnosing numerical issues.

5. .github/workflows/integration-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml

   Set `QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1` on the integration-test step so
   the C++ trace lines land in CI logs by default. Bounded output
   (3 lines per inference, ~20 inferences per job), negligible cost.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  14/14 integration tests pass, 90/90 asserts. Trace output verified:
  all 6 sample images produce sensible logits and sum-to-1
  probabilities; top class matches expected label in every case.
  Trace lines and t.comment()s visible in both the pass and
  (hypothetically) fail paths, as intended.

…ertions

Three coordinated changes that (a) unblock cpp-lint, (b) make the
C++ -> JS marshalling robust against compiler code-gen quirks, and
(c) make every test failure self-diagnostic so we never have to add
post-hoc instrumentation again.

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- clang-format

   Apply the exact diff that cpp-lint reported in run 24900278513:
   drop the blank line between <gguf.h> and the addon-cpp include,
   wrap the std::sort args one-per-line, and split the multi-arg
   static_cast<double>(...) chain in the trace fprintf to one arg
   per line. Pure formatting; no behaviour change.

2. addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp -- defensive marshalling +
   per-entry trace inside JsClassifyOutputHandler

   The lambda now reads the label and the confidence into named
   local variables (`labelString`, `confidenceFloat`, then
   `confidenceDouble = static_cast<double>(confidenceFloat)`)
   BEFORE handing them to `jsu::String::create` / `jsu::Number::create`.
   The previous inline expression
       jsu::Number::create(env, static_cast<double>(cppOut.results[i].confidence))
   produced 0 in JavaScript for index 0 only on win32-x64
   (clang-cl), while indices 1..N marshalled correctly --
   visible in run 24900278513 win32 log: C++ trace shows
   {food:0.707883} but JS receives {food:0.000000}, all other
   entries OK. Materialising the values into named locals
   forces the compiler to commit the values to memory before
   the call sequence and dodges that code-gen pattern. Linux,
   macOS, and Windows continue to pass; this is risk-free
   defence-in-depth even if Windows turns out to have a deeper
   issue.

   Also adds an opt-in trace line per array element (gated by
   the same QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1 env var as
   ClassificationModel::process()), printing label, float, and
   double values as the lambda actually sees them. Combined
   with the existing process()-level trace, we now get the full
   pipeline view -- raw logits -> probs -> sorted results ->
   per-entry marshalling -- on every CI run with no manual
   instrumentation needed.

3. test/integration/classify.test.js -- finer assertions

   Replace coarse "confidence is in [0,1]" with split assertions
   that distinguish: typeof number / Number.isFinite (NaN/Inf
   detection) / range check. Per-entry assertion messages now
   include the array index AND the actual value so a failure
   line tells you exactly what went wrong. Same treatment for
   the sum and the sort-desc checks.

   Topk / sequential / raw-RGB tests gain explicit
   Number.isFinite checks plus t.comment() output of the full
   result, so they no longer silently swallow the kind of
   value-corruption bug that was hidden in test 2 of the
   previous CI run.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  14/14 tests pass; assertion count went from 90/90 to 140/140
  with the new finite-checks. Marshalling trace verified emitting
  label / float / double per element under
  QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1.

…lint uv.h order

- `test/integration/utils.js`: add `resolveModelPath()` that resolves
  the GGUF weights via `global.assetPaths` on iOS/Android (the bare
  worklet runs from a packed `app.bundle/...` virtual root and cannot
  read the npm package's `weights/` directory), and falls back to the
  bundled desktop path otherwise. Throw a clear synchronous error when
  the asset is missing so it surfaces as a brittle assertion instead of
  an unhandled-promise-rejection that aborts the bare worklet.
- `test/integration/classify.test.js`, `test/integration/error-cases.test.js`:
  use `resolveModelPath()` for every `ImageClassifier` instance.
- `scripts/copy-mobile-test-assets.js`: replace the inline shell
  `mobile:copy-prebuilds` script with a portable Node script that
  fans out the single arm64 prebuild into the per-flavour directories
  the qvac-test-addon-mobile framework expects.
- `package.json`: wire the new script in as `mobile:copy-prebuilds`.
- `addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp`: include `<uv.h>` and reorder includes
  to satisfy `clang-format-19`'s grouping rules so cpp-lint passes in CI.
- `.gitignore`: keep downloaded Device Farm logs (`remote_logs/`) and
  ad-hoc validation scripts out of the working tree.

…burn-one js_create_double

- `scripts/copy-mobile-test-assets.js` + `test/integration/utils.js`:
  copy the GGUF weights into `test/mobile/testAssets/` with a `.gguf.bin`
  suffix and look them up by that key. The qvac-test-addon-mobile
  framework's metro.config.js does not register `.gguf` as an asset
  extension, so a raw `.gguf` file is treated as a JS-source request
  and the bundler aborts at `:app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets`.
  `.bin` is in the framework's accepted list and ggml's
  `gguf_init_from_file` does not validate the file extension.
- `addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp`: add a defensive "burn one"
  `js_create_double(env, 0.0, &dummy)` call at the top of the
  classification result lambda. On Win32 (clang-cl + bare runtime
  + V8) the very first `js_create_double` call inside a fresh handle
  scope returned 0 for index 0 even though the C++ side passed the
  correct value; consuming that slot unblocks every subsequent call.
  Gated trace output behind `QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1`.

…Android/iOS ENOENT

`test/integration/utils.js:loadImage()` previously read every test
image with `fs.readFileSync(path.join('test','images',name))`. On
mobile that resolves into the packed `app.bundle/...` virtual root,
where `test/images/` is not present, and the bare runtime aborts
with `FileError: ENOENT, open "/app.bundle/backend/test/images/<file>"`
right after the model loads (Pixel 9 Pro logcat from the previous CI
run pinpointed this).

Fixed by:

- `scripts/copy-mobile-test-assets.js`: also copy every
  `test/images/*.{jpg,jpeg,png}` into `test/mobile/testAssets/`. JPEG
  and PNG are part of metro's default `assetExts`, so no rename is
  needed (unlike the GGUF blob).
- `test/integration/utils.js`: add `_resolveImagePath()` that on
  mobile reads from `global.assetPaths['../../testAssets/<name>']`
  with the same key fallbacks as `resolveModelPath()`, and on desktop
  returns `test/images/<name>`. Throw with sample asset keys when the
  lookup fails so the failure is a brittle assertion.
- `test/mobile/testAssets/.gitignore`: also ignore `*.jpg`/`*.jpeg`/
  `*.png` so the populated images are not committed.

…rose reflow

- Document new `npm run mobile:copy-prebuilds` flow that populates
  `test/mobile/testAssets/` with prebuilds, the `.gguf.bin` weights blob,
  and the integration test images (fixes mobile ENOENT crash).
- Replace the obsolete "Cold start" claim with a "First-call overhead"
  note that reflects the full-pipeline warmup added in `load()` and the
  remaining JS/JIT/decoder/page-cache effects.
- Add a "Why FP16 weights?" subsection capturing the precision-vs-size
  rationale (FP16 matches FP32 accuracy on the validation set; more
  aggressive quantizations degraded noticeably).
- Expand the topK section with a plain-language one-liner.
- Add a runtime trade-off paragraph under "Why a custom GGML graph?":
  GGML CPU is slower than PyTorch/ONNX at this scale, but the absolute
  gap is negligible for a ~2.5 M-param model; larger classifiers would
  need extra graph-level optimisation.
- Fix `funetuned` -> `fine-tuned` typo.
- Reflow paragraphs to single lines so markdown viewers can soft-wrap.

[BUG] Hardcoded kNumClasses=3 is not validated against GGUF's num_classes

The classifier weight is statically declared [1024, 3]; if a GGUF with a different class count is loaded, label/logit mismatches occur silently, and ggml_backend_tensor_get(..., logits, sizeof(logits)) reads OOB or truncates.

Fix: validate numClasses == kNumClasses after load and assert ggml_nelements(output) == kNumClasses. See inline comments for the two affected sites.

….7#1

Aligns the addon's C++ deps with what `embed-llamacpp` / `llm-llamacpp` on
main already ship.

Version bumps (vcpkg.json):

- qvac-fabric                  : 7248.2.3#1 → 8189.0.2 (default-features
                                 stays false: CPU-only, no GPU backends,
                                 no llama)
- qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp : 1.1.6      → 1.1.7#1
- qvac-lint-cpp                : 1.4.4#2    → 1.4.4#3

Baseline (vcpkg-configuration.json):

- 2c38cd3160fe9e5ae6cb2b91d1bd45b1db592116
  → 803c0d119ea002694963e89237c207ff6ecf47f6  (matches embed-llamacpp on main)

Source-side migration forced by the addon-cpp port-version bump:

- Upstream PR tetherto#1860 ("simplify package folders, files and
  paths") renamed `packages/qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp/` →
  `packages/inference-addon-cpp/`. The 1.1.7#1 port-version installs
  headers under `include/inference-addon-cpp/...` instead of
  `include/qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp/...`, so all includes need to be
  updated. The C++ namespace `qvac_lib_inference_addon_cpp::` is
  preserved upstream and stays unchanged here.
- Same PR renamed the lint-cpp install root from `share/qvac-lint-cpp/`
  to `share/lint-cpp/`.

Touched files:

- vcpkg.json, vcpkg-configuration.json: pins + baseline.
- CMakeLists.txt: `share/qvac-lint-cpp/...` → `share/lint-cpp/...`,
  `find_path(... qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp/JsInterface.hpp ...)` →
  `find_path(... inference-addon-cpp/JsInterface.hpp ...)`. Variable
  name `QVAC_LIB_INFERENCE_ADDON_CPP_INCLUDE_DIRS` kept to mirror
  `embed-llamacpp` on main.
- addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp: 9 include rewrites.
- addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.{hpp,cpp},
  ImagePreprocessor.cpp, MobileNetGraph.cpp: include rewrites.
- test/unit/CMakeLists.txt: `${QVAC_LIB_INFERENCE_ADDON_CPP_INCLUDE_DIRS}`
  is reused — only the upstream include path under it changed.

Doc-level references to the legacy "qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp" name in
CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/data-flow.md and
test/mobile/README.md are intentionally kept: the vcpkg port name and the
C++ namespace are unchanged upstream, and these docs reference the library
by name, not by include path.

Local validation (win32-x64, clean rebuild):

- vcpkg install: qvac-fabric:x64-windows@8189.0.2 +
  qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp@1.1.7 installed cleanly (46 s).
- bare-make generate: configuring done (99.7 s), generating done.
- bare-make build: clean (only pre-existing C++98-compat + getenv warnings).
- bare-make install: prebuilds/win32-x64/qvac__classification-ggml.bare
  + .exports produced.
- npm run test:integration: 14/14 tests, 140/140 asserts.
- npm run test:cpp: 29/29 tests.
- npm run test:unit: 10/10 tests, 24/24 asserts.

DmitryMalishev added a commit that referenced this pull request May 19, 2026
The `test-cpp` job in `cpp-tests-classification.yml` calls
`setup-aws-prebuild` (which assumes an AWS IAM role via OIDC) and
`setup-vcpkg` (which configures the S3-backed vcpkg binary cache via
`VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES=x-aws,s3://...`). Both actions require GitHub to
issue an OIDC token for the job, which only happens when the job (or its
workflow) declares `id-token: write`.

The workflow's top-level `permissions` block only has `contents: read`.
Without `id-token: write`, `aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials` cannot
exchange a GitHub OIDC token for AWS credentials, so every `test-cpp`
matrix leg fails immediately with:

  Credentials could not be loaded, please check your action inputs:
  Could not load credentials from any providers

This bug was hidden until now because the label-gate that was added in
#2087 was missing from the original addon PR (#1727), so the `cpp-tests`
job had always been skipped on PRs.

Fix: add a job-level `permissions` block with `id-token: write` on the
`test-cpp` job. This matches the existing pattern in
`cpp-test-coverage-tts-ggml.yml`, which has the same AWS OIDC requirement
and declares the permission identically.

Other cpp-tests workflows (embed, llm, diffusion) are not affected: they
bootstrap vcpkg directly from GitHub and do not use the S3 binary cache,
so they have no OIDC dependency.

…ape (review #1727)

Addresses two `[BUG]` review comments from @olyasir on #1727
about the hardcoded `kNumClasses = 3` not being validated against either
the loaded GGUF's `mobilenet.num_classes` metadata or the actual element
count of the constructed output tensor. Both are downstream-safety
problems for the per-inference path:

  float logits[graph::kNumClasses] = {0.0F};
  ggml_backend_tensor_get(impl_->compute.output, logits, 0, sizeof(logits));

`sizeof(logits)` is fixed at compile time. With a mismatched GGUF, this
either reads OOB (numClasses < kNumClasses) or silently truncates
(numClasses > kNumClasses); on the FC-weight-upload side the
`classifier.3.weight = [1024, kNumClasses]` shape would also fail to
match the GGUF tensor and corrupt the classifier.

Changes:

1. addon/src/model-interface/MobileNetGraph.cpp -- graph::loadWeights()

   Right after reading `numClasses` from `mobilenet.num_classes`,
   compare against `kNumClasses` and `throw StatusError(InvalidArgument, ...)`
   with a descriptive message (actual vs expected count, plus a hint to
   rebuild the addon or use a matching GGUF). This is the primary fix
   olyasir requested in `MobileNetGraph.cpp`.

   The error path is reachable from `ClassificationModel::load()`'s call
   to `graph::loadWeights(...)`, which already runs inside the JS-side
   `await classifier.load()` Promise; the `StatusError(InvalidArgument)`
   propagates as a structured rejection on the JS side, matching how
   every other config-time validation error in this addon surfaces.

2. addon/src/model-interface/MobileNetGraph.cpp -- graph::buildGraph()

   At the end of the graph build, before we hand the
   `ComputeGraph::output` tensor over to the backend allocator, assert
   `ggml_nelements(cg.output) == kNumClasses` and `raise(...)` (which
   throws `StatusError(InternalError, ...)`) if the invariant is
   violated. This is the defence-in-depth fix olyasir requested in the
   second `[BUG]` comment in `ClassificationModel.cpp`: it makes the
   12-byte stack-array `ggml_backend_tensor_get` read provably safe
   regardless of how the output tensor was constructed.

   This second check is not redundant with #1: it also catches a future
   accidental edit to the classifier wiring above (where the tail
   `classifier.3` linear is what determines the output element count),
   an upstream ggml change to how `mul_mat` shapes its result, or a
   GGUF that lacks the `mobilenet.num_classes` metadata key entirely
   and falls back to `kNumClasses` but ships mismatched FC weights.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- 15/15 C++ unit tests pass (BnEpsilonGuard, classification graph
  determinism, preprocessor suite -- they all exercise the validated
  load + build paths against the bundled FP16 GGUF, where
  `num_classes == 3` so neither check fires).
- 14/14 JS integration tests pass, 140/140 asserts (no behaviour
  change for the supported model; new error paths are unreachable
  with the bundled weights).

…memory (review #1727)

Addresses jesusmb1995's review comment on #1727:

> Could we check this before decoding? `stbi_info_from_memory()` would
> let us reject oversized images / total pixel count before
> `stbi_load_from_memory()` allocates

Why it matters: `stbi_load_from_memory` allocates the full decoded RGB
buffer (width * height * 3 bytes) before any caller-provided dimension
limit is enforced. For a 16384x16384 image at the upper edge of
`kMaxImageDimension`, that is ~768 MB of heap allocated before we see
the dimension and reject -- enough to OOM a memory-constrained device
or trigger an oversized free.

`stbi_info_from_memory` parses only the image header (a few hundred
bytes) and reports the dimensions cheaply, so we can reject oversized
inputs up-front. The post-decode dimension check is kept as
belt-and-braces in case `stbi_info` and `stbi_load` ever disagree
(e.g. truncated streams that parse a valid header but fail mid-decode);
it is a correctness check, not the primary OOM defence.

Behaviour:

- If `stbi_info` succeeds and reports dimensions over
  `kMaxImageDimension`, `decodeToRgb` throws
  `StatusError(InvalidArgument, ...)` with the actual reported size in
  the message, before any decode allocation runs.
- If `stbi_info` fails (header could not be parsed), we fall through
  to `stbi_load_from_memory`. That path already throws with
  `stbi_failure_reason()` attached, which is a more user-actionable
  message than a generic "header bad" we would emit ourselves.

Adds the following PreprocessorTest cases (14 new tests, taking the
suite from 10 to 24 -- all 29 cases across the addon's two C++ test
binaries pass on win32-x64):

decodeToRgb:
- DecodeToRgbDecodesValidJpeg            -- happy path against test/images/meal_1.jpg
- DecodeToRgbRejectsEmptyBuffer
- DecodeToRgbRejectsCorruptedBytes
- DecodeToRgbRejectsTruncatedJpeg

preprocessToTensor (full pipeline):
- PreprocessToTensorAcceptsEncodedJpeg   -- JPEG happy path with finite-output check
- PreprocessToTensorAcceptsRawRgb         -- raw RGB happy path with finite-output check
- PreprocessToTensorRejectsBmpWithoutDimensions
- PreprocessToTensorRejectsRawWithMissingDims

validateRawRgb edges:
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsEmptyBuffer
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsZeroWidth
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsZeroHeight
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsOverKMaxImageDimensionWidth
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsOverKMaxImageDimensionHeight

normalizeToWhcn:
- NormalizeToWhcnRejectsWrongInputSize

Adds a `readTestImage(name)` helper that walks up from the current
binary location to find `test/images/<name>`, mirroring the
`findWeightsPath()` helper already in
classification_model_test.cpp. JPEG-using tests skip cleanly via
GTEST_SKIP() if the image is not present, so the C++ test suite still
passes when run from a packed tarball that does not include the test
images.

…hole (review #1727)

> makes it harder to track. I would prefer a straightforward class

The PIMPL was originally there to keep ggml types out of the public
header. In practice this header is only included by the addon's own
`AddonJs.hpp`, which already pulls in the entire
qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp framework, so there is no header-fanout
benefit from hiding ggml. Flattening the impl removes one level of
heap indirection, lets all members be visible at a glance, and lets
clang-tidy / IDE navigation jump straight to the field declarations.

Changes:

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.hpp

   - Pull in `<ggml-backend.h>` and the local `MobileNetGraph.hpp`
     (which exposes `WeightsBundle` / `ComputeGraph` definitions
     used by the new direct members).
   - Replace `struct Impl;` forward declaration and
     `std::unique_ptr<Impl> impl_;` with the eight direct private
     members the Impl previously held: `modelPath_`, `backend_`,
     `weights_`, `compute_`, `labels_`, `numThreads_`, `loaded_`,
     `lastInferenceUs_`. Member ordering is documented in a comment:
     ggml requires every backend buffer to be released BEFORE the
     backend it was allocated on, and `~ClassificationModel`
     enforces that ordering explicitly with `compute_.reset();
     weights_.reset();` before `ggml_backend_free(backend_)`.

2. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp

   - Remove the `struct ClassificationModel::Impl { ... };`
     definition and the `std::make_unique<Impl>()` from the
     constructor body.
   - Replace every `impl_->X` with `X_` (34 references). No
     functional change.
   - Drop redundant `if (!impl_)` guards in `setNumThreads()`,
     `load()`, `runtimeStats()`, and `process()`. The class is non-
     copyable and non-movable (it carries a `std::mutex` member,
     which suppresses implicit move ctors/assignment), so `impl_`
     was always non-null between construction and destruction;
     the guards were dead code.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- `bare-make build` clean (warnings unchanged from before refactor;
  no new errors).
- `npm run test:cpp` -- 29/29 tests pass (3 ClassificationModelTest +
  24 PreprocessorTest + 1 BnEpsilonGuard + 1 architecture sanity).
- `npm run test:integration` -- 14/14 tests pass, 140/140 asserts.

…+ AddonJs (review #1727)

Addresses jesusmb1995's review comments on #1727:

> Why normalizing here instead of just throwing at `AddonJs` and
> having a central place where to do the validation? I had previous
> conversations with Gianfranco (and Nidhin) on LLM we agreed it
> makes sense to do parsing/validation at on place, namely at AddonJs

> For construction/config arguments, `createInstance()` should be the
> place that parses and validates the JS values before building the
> native model: model path, threads, and any other config should
> either produce a valid C++ configuration or throw immediately

> different sources of truth for what is valid.
>
> For per-call image arguments, the same principle applies at the
> native job boundary before `ClassificationModel`: parse the JS
> input once, construct an explicit validated `ClassifyInput`, and
> then let the model/preprocessor operate on that clean shape. That
> removes the duplicated JS normalization/magic-byte checks and
> avoids relying on weak `0` sentinel values for "not provided".

Changes:

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.hpp

   - Replace the four sentinel-zero fields (`width = 0`, `height = 0`,
     `channels = 0`, `topK = 0` overloaded as "not provided") with an
     explicit `std::optional<RawRgbDims>` member that captures the
     "is the input raw RGB or encoded?" decision in a type the
     compiler can check.
   - `topK = 0` stays only because it has a meaningful "no filter"
     interpretation; non-zero values are validated > 0 at the
     binding boundary.

2. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp

   - Translate `optional<RawRgbDims>` -> the existing
     `(declaredWidth, declaredHeight, declaredChannels)` triplet
     consumed by `preprocess::preprocessToTensor`. The preprocessor's
     internal "0 means not-provided" convention is preserved (it is
     a private API; the JS-facing one is the explicit optional).

3. addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp

   - `createInstance` now validates:
       * `path` must be a non-empty string,
       * `config.threads` (when provided) must be a positive integer.
     These were previously not enforced; non-positive thread counts
     would have silently passed through to libggml and raw negatives
     would int-truncate.
   - `runJob` is now the single source of truth for per-call
     validation:
       * `content` rejection message rephrased to include the
         substring "required" so the JS test
         `t.exception.all(..., /required|null|undefined/i)` keeps
         passing without relying on a separate JS-side TypeError.
       * Dimension triplet enforcement: caller must provide either
         all of {width, height, channels} or none of them; partial
         shapes are rejected with an explicit message rather than
         leaking through as a buffer-size mismatch downstream.
       * Each dim is range-checked as int32_t before being committed
         to ClassifyInput's optional<RawRgbDims>, so a negative
         JS Number cannot wrap to ~4 billion via uint32_t cast and
         tunnel into validateRawRgb.
       * `topK` is range-checked > 0 if provided.

4. test/unit/classification_model_test.cpp

   - Migrate the three `input.width = ...; input.height = ...;
     input.channels = ...;` blocks to the new
     `input.rawRgb = qcc::RawRgbDims{...};` shape. No behavioural
     change.

5. index.js

   - Strip every JS-side validation helper that duplicated C++ work:
     `assertBuffer`, `normaliseDimensionOptions`, `isSupportedEncoded`,
     `startsWith`, `JPEG_MAGIC`, `PNG_MAGIC`. The classify() body now
     literally builds `{ type, content, [width, height, channels,
     topK] }` from the caller's arguments and forwards to the
     binding.
   - Lifecycle checks (`!this._addon || !this.state.configLoaded`)
     and the file-existence check in `load()` stay in JS:
       * lifecycle is a JS-managed state, not a value-shape
         question;
       * the existence-check delivers a more actionable error
         message ("MobileNet GGUF weights not found at: <path>")
         than letting the load reach C++ and throw "Failed to open
         GGUF file: <path>" downstream.
   - Module-level comment documents the JS-as-thin-pass-through
     contract so a future contributor cannot re-introduce the
     duplicated validation by mistake.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- `bare-make build` clean.
- `npm run test:cpp` -- 29/29 (incl. the migrated raw-RGB
  ClassificationModelTest cases).
- `npm run lint` -- clean.
- `npm run test:integration` -- 14/14 tests, 140/140 asserts. All
  existing brittle regex matchers in `error-cases.test.js`
  (`/required|null|undefined/i`, `/empty/i`, `/format|invalid/i`,
  `/decode|jpeg|invalid/i`, `/match|size|width|height|raw/i`,
  `/format|jpeg|png|bmp/i`, `/not loaded|load\(\)/i`,
  `/not loaded|destroyed|state/i`) match the new C++-issued error
  messages, so no test regex needed updating.

Re-shape the JS layer so request orchestration mirrors the LLM addon
(closes T5-T9 from PR #1727 review):

- addon.js becomes a thin C++ binding wrapper (mirrors LlamaInterface):
  constructor takes `(binding, configurationParams, outputCb, logger)`,
  exposes `activate()` / `runJob()` / `cancel()` / `unload()`. The
  bespoke `_pending` Promise + `_outputCallback` are gone; export a
  shared `mapAddonEvent(rawEvent, rawData, rawError)` instead.
- index.js becomes the orchestration layer (mirrors LlmLlamacpp): one
  `exclusiveRunQueue()` serialises load/classify/unload, one
  `createJobHandler()` owns the active QvacResponse, and the output
  callback fans events through `_handleAddonOutputEvent`.
- load() now does try/catch around `activate()` and best-effort
  `_addon.unload()` on failure so a partial init never leaves a
  zombie native handle (T6).
- classify() resolves on the terminal stats event rather than the
  first ClassifyOutput, eliminating the orphan-callback risk that
  motivated the `_pending` drain on the previous design (T7, T8).
  Public shape unchanged: still `Promise<Array<{label,confidence}>>`.
- unload() runs through the same queue, calls native `cancel()` on
  in-flight work, fails the active JS request with `Model was unloaded`,
  then destroys the native handle (T9).

mapAddonEvent is keyed on payload shape (Array → Output, plain object
→ JobEnded terminal) because the upstream JobRunner emits the stats
trailer with a raw `std::vector<std::pair<...>>` RTTI name rather than
a literal `*JobEnded` event. Documented inline.

Local validation: 14/14 integration + 140/140 asserts in 2.8s
(down from 8.2s in Group A — the LLM-style cancel/unload is much
faster than the prior drain-then-destroy pattern); 29/29 C++ unit
tests; standard lint clean.

…ssification-ggml

Adds the two missing top-level workflow files so the addon now has the
full 5-file layout used by every other modern addon in the monorepo
(`decoder-audio`, `diffusion-cpp`, `ocr-onnx`, `bci-whispercpp`):

- `on-pr-classification-ggml.yml` -- canonical PR trigger router.
  authorize -> changes -> sanity / ts-checks / cpp-lint / prebuild ->
  integration / mobile -> merge-guard. Path filters scope to
  `packages/classification-ggml/**` and the addon's own workflow files.
- `on-pr-close-classification-ggml.yml` -- mirror of
  `on-pr-close-decoder-audio.yml`. Triggers `public-delete-npm-versions`
  with `packages: classification-ggml` to clean up per-PR npm pre-releases
  on PR close.

Closes T11 from PR #1727 review (olyasir: "rename in same format as other
pipelines"). The legacy-named `on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml`
on the fork PR-1 branch will be removed at sync-to-PR-1 time.

The hack-branch dispatch swap (`on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm.yml`
hijacked + `*-temp.yml` parking) is intentionally left untouched here:
new workflows aren't dispatchable from the GitHub Actions UI until they
exist on `main`, so the swap is still our only working dispatch path
for hack-branch CI runs.

Validation: both files parse with `yaml.safe_load`; every workflow /
composite-action reference resolves on disk.

Closes T2/T3/T4 from PR #1727 (jesusmb1995: "Please remove this
comment, its unnecessary... LLM's are too verbose"), and applies the
same four cleanup rules across the rest of the addon's 8 native files
and 3 main JS files:

  R1 - delete comments that restate the next 1-3 lines of code
  R2 - delete comments that defend a non-question or repeat an
       architectural decision at consuming sites
  R3 - keep external-constraint warnings, but inline at the exact
       affected line (footgun proximity)
  R4 - mirror the LLM addon's comment density and tone

Specifically removed:

- T2: ClassificationModel.hpp's 10-line "Direct members instead of a
  PIMPL struct..." block. The ggml destruction-ordering note moves
  to ~ClassificationModel() in the .cpp where the ordering matters.
- T3: AddonJs.hpp's "Single-place parsing & validation..." preamble
  above runJob().
- T4: AddonJs.hpp's same-shaped preamble above createInstance().
- All "// Stem", "// Tail", "// Inverted residual blocks" section
  headers in MobileNetGraph.cpp - the function/loop names are clear.
- The 16-line warmup essay in ClassificationModel::load() trimmed to
  the 4-line external-constraint summary that justifies it.
- Multiple verbose JSDoc blocks in addon.js / index.js / utils.js
  reduced to one-line summaries.

Specifically kept (R3 footgun-proximity):

- bare-runtime `as<int32_t>` truncation note (tunnels negative
  Numbers to ~4B silently).
- ggml NHWC-vs-WHCN one-liner in normalizeToWhcn (load-bearing for
  the index math).
- BN epsilon "never trust 1e-5" in loadWeights.
- num_classes mismatch-corrupts-tensor warning.
- stbi_info pre-decode header check rationale (~300 MB OOM bound).
- mapAddonEvent's payload-shape-keying explanation (differs from
  LLM's name-based mapping for a real reason).
- Test-contract wording note on the "is required / null / undefined"
  error message in runJob.

Density before/after, against the LLM addon (the reviewer's
reference):

  Native files (8 files): 282 -> 88 lines (-69%)
  JS main files (3 files):  ~75 -> 72 lines (-4%)

  LLM addon for comparison:
    AddonJs.hpp + LlamaModel.hpp + LlamaModel.cpp = 116
    addon.js + index.js                            = 101

Local validation: 14/14 integration tests in 3.9s, 29/29 C++ unit
tests, standard lint clean.

…assification (#1727)

* QVAC-17481 feat: add @qvac/classification-ggml MobileNetV3 image classification addon

Introduces a new inference addon that classifies images into three
classes (food / report / other) using a fine-tuned MobileNetV3-Small
CNN running on the libggml CPU backend. Follows the established QVAC
addon pattern (see qvac-lib-infer-nmtcpp, lib-infer-diffusion).

## What this PR ships

- New package `packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/` publishing
  as `@qvac/classification-ggml`:
  - Native addon: custom 34-layer MobileNetV3-Small compute graph built
    directly against the public `ggml.h` / `ggml-backend.h` API — no
    llama.cpp application-layer dependency, so the addon remains
    forward-compatible with future `libggml` upstream merges.
  - Load-time BatchNorm fold with `eps = 0.001` (the architecture-
    correct value; `1e-5` causes normalisation drift across all 34
    layers). Depthwise separable convolutions, squeeze-and-excite
    blocks, HardSwish / HardSigmoid / ReLU activations all wired
    through `ggml_conv_2d`, `ggml_conv_2d_dw`, `ggml_pool_2d`,
    `ggml_hardswish`, `ggml_hardsigmoid`.
  - FP16 GGUF weights bundled inside the package (2.94 MB); class
    labels are read from the GGUF `mobilenet.class_N` metadata so a
    future fine-tune can ship different class names without a code
    change.
  - Public JS API: `new ImageClassifier({ modelPath?, logger?,
    threads?, nativeLogger? })` + `load()` / `classify(buffer, opts?)`
    / `unload()` / `destroy()`. Accepts JPEG, PNG, or raw-RGB input;
    validates at the JS layer before reaching native code so no bad
    input reaches libggml.
  - `nativeLogger` opt-in (default `false`): the underlying
    `qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp` JsLogger holds a process-wide
    static `uv_async_t` that is not safe across rapid create/destroy
    cycles, so the native C++→JS log bridge is disabled unless the
    caller explicitly opts in. JS-level logging always flows through
    the caller's `logger`.
  - Image preprocessing via vendored-through-vcpkg `stb_image` +
    `stb_image_resize2` (bilinear resize to 224×224, ImageNet
    normalisation, WHCN layout).

## Build + tests

- `bare-make` + `cmake-bare` + `cmake-vcpkg` build, targeting
  `ggml::ggml` / `ggml::ggml-base` / `ggml::ggml-cpu` and `stb` from
  the shared QVAC vcpkg registry.
- C++ GoogleTest suite covering graph shape (34 conv + 2 linear + 9
  SE blocks), load + inference, determinism, `topK` filter, BN
  epsilon guard, and full preprocessor behaviour.
- brittle + bare JS integration tests covering load, classify (all 6
  public sample images under `test/images/`), `topK`, raw RGB input,
  and every error path: null, empty buffer, corrupted JPEG,
  unsupported format (BMP), mismatched dimensions, pre-load /
  post-unload, tiny upscale, load/unload cycles.
- Mobile test scaffolding following the shared convention:
  `scripts/generate-mobile-integration-tests.js`,
  `scripts/validate-mobile-tests.js`, `test/mobile/
  {integration-runtime.cjs, integration.auto.cjs, README.md,
  testAssets/.gitignore}`. The auto-generated `integration.auto.cjs`
  wraps every `test/integration/*.test.js` so the shared
  `qvac-test-addon-mobile` framework picks them up on Android and iOS
  automatically.

## CI workflows

Four addon-scoped workflows (path-filtered to this package):

- `on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` — authorize, sanity
  checks, TypeScript declaration check, C++ lint, prebuild matrix,
  desktop integration tests, mobile integration tests, merge-guard.
- `prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` — Linux x64,
  Linux arm64, Android arm64, macOS arm64, iOS arm64, Windows x64
  prebuild matrix.
- `integration-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` — desktop
  end-to-end tests with the shared performance reporter writing a
  GitHub step summary.
- `integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml` —
  AWS Device Farm Android + iOS runs via the
  `tetherto/qvac-test-addon-mobile` framework.

## Public-data / test-image policy

All public correctness assertions in this package are scoped to the 6
test images under `test/images/` (2 per class). No confidential
fine-tuning numbers, validation-set sizes, per-class metrics, or
references to any internal validation dataset appear in this PR, in
any file it ships, or in CI logs. Internal numerical-equivalence
gating against an ONNX FP32 reference is handled pre-release by a
development-only script that is not part of this PR.

## Out of scope for this PR

- SDK plugin / schema integration (`packages/sdk/**`) lands in a
  follow-up PR after `@qvac/classification-ggml@0.1.0` is published
  to npm. This mirrors the diffusion rollout (#656 → release → #1021).
- GPU backends (Vulkan / Metal / CUDA): CPU-only for v1.0.

* QVAC-17481 fix(ci): correct setup-bare-tooling action name in classification workflows

The prebuild and integration-test workflows for @qvac/classification-ggml
referenced `tetherto/qvac/.github/actions/setup-bare-toolchain`, which
does not exist. The action is named `setup-bare-tooling` (same name used
by the llamacpp-llm, nmtcpp, and diffusion addons at the identical
pinned SHA). All 6 prebuild matrix jobs failed at step 1 with
"Can't find 'action.yml' ... for action 'setup-bare-toolchain'" until
this rename is in place.

* QVAC-17481 fix(ci): add per-platform vcpkg/NDK/Apple-clang setup to classification prebuilds

The classification prebuilds workflow was missing the per-platform
toolchain steps that sibling addons (diffusion, nmtcpp) have after
`setup-vcpkg-cache`. As a result, `VCPKG_ROOT` was never exported,
CMake couldn't locate the vcpkg toolchain, and `bare-make build`
failed on every platform.

Changes to .github/workflows/prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml:

  - setup-vcpkg-cache: drop unknown inputs `vcpkg-path` and
    `github-packages-token` (action only accepts platform, arch,
    s3-bucket-path). Was silently ignored but emitted warnings.

  - Add per-OS vcpkg bootstrap / configuration:
      macOS (darwin, ios):  clone microsoft/vcpkg tag 2025.12.12,
                            bootstrap, export VCPKG_ROOT.
      Linux (linux, android runners): export
                            VCPKG_ROOT=$VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT.
      Windows:              export VCPKG_ROOT from
                            $env:VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT with
                            backslash-to-forward-slash normalisation.

  - Windows-only: set CMAKE_GENERATOR="Visual Studio 17 2022" and,
    for the x64 matrix row, CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64.

  - Android-only: export ANDROID_NDK / ANDROID_NDK_HOME /
    ANDROID_NDK_ROOT from ANDROID_NDK_LATEST_HOME, derive
    ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT, set ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=24.

  - iOS and darwin: move Homebrew llvm / llvm@18 aside so the Apple
    toolchain clang is on PATH (matches diffusion).

All additions mirror the working pattern in
prebuilds-lib-infer-diffusion.yml and
prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-nmtcpp.yml at the same pinned action SHA.
No Vulkan or apt X11 steps were added: this addon is CPU-only ggml
and has no graphics dependencies.

* QVAC-17481 fix: add missing <limits> include and CI build-failure diagnostics

Two related changes to unstick the prebuild matrix:

1. addon/src/model-interface/ImagePreprocessor.cpp uses
   std::numeric_limits<int>::max() but does not #include <limits>.
   MSVC pulls <limits> in transitively (via <algorithm> in its STL),
   but libc++ and libstdc++ on clang/gcc do not. This is the most
   plausible reason all five non-Windows prebuild jobs (linux-x64,
   linux-arm64, android-arm64, darwin-arm64, ios-arm64) failed
   identically at `bare-make build` while the Windows host build
   succeeded.

2. prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml gains a
   `Dump build context on failure` step that runs only if
   `bare-make build` fails. It prints toolchain identity, lists the
   build/ tree, tails CMake configure logs, dumps any *.log under
   build/, and tails up to 20 vcpkg buildtree logs. Mirrors the
   `Dump vcpkg build logs on failure` pattern in
   prebuilds-lib-infer-diffusion.yml. Without this, every CI failure
   currently surfaces only as `Process completed with exit code 1.`,
   which is essentially undebuggable from the run summary page.

* QVAC-17481 fix(ci): use --platform (not --target) for bare-make generate

Root cause confirmed from job log of run 24850328468 (linux-x64):
  bare-make generate --target linux --arch x64
  Bail: UNKNOWN_FLAG: target

The bare-make CLI installed by setup-bare-tooling does not accept
`--target`; it only accepts `--platform`. Diffusion and nmtcpp both
use `--platform`. Locally I had an older bare-make that accepted
`--target` as an alias, which masked the bug on my Windows host.

Step 17 (Generate build) was failing immediately with the above
"Bail: UNKNOWN_FLAG", causing every downstream step (build,
install) to fail too across all 6 prebuild matrix jobs.

Also harden the diagnostic step `Dump build context on failure`:
disable `-e` and `pipefail` for that step so a missing `build/`
directory or empty `find` result no longer makes the diagnostic
step itself exit non-zero (it should never mask the real failure).

* QVAC-17481 fix: pin ggml to CPU-only feature set + guard backend iteration

CI runs were failing because the default ggml vcpkg feature set pulls
in the `vulkan` (Linux/Windows/Android) and `metal` (Apple) GPU
backends, which forces `find_package(Vulkan)` at configure time and
forces the prebuilds workflow to install the Vulkan SDK on every
runner. Since this addon is CPU-only by design (only ever calls
ggml_backend_cpu_init), the GPU backends are dead weight: extra
compile time, extra dependencies in shipped prebuilds, and extra
runtime requirements on user machines (e.g. libvulkan.so.1).

Two related changes, no functional impact on the addon itself:

1. packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/vcpkg.json
   Add "default-features": false` to the ggml dependency. This
   opts out of vulkan / metal / cuda / opencl while keeping the
   core CPU backend (which is the implicit base, not a named
   feature). Verified locally on win32-x64: vcpkg rebuilt
   `ggml:x64-windows@2026-01-30#5` from source in 26s without
   Vulkan, generate + build + install all green, and the JS
   integration test ran the model end-to-end producing correct
   top labels (food/report/other) for every sample image.

2. packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/CMakeLists.txt
   Guard the GGML_AVAILABLE_BACKENDS iteration with
   `if(TARGET ggml::${_backend})`. The upstream variable
   advertises every backend the port knows about, but real
   CMake targets only exist for backends that were actually
   built. Without the guard, add_bare_module's
   get_target_property() crashes on Android (where Vulkan and
   OpenCL are listed as available but not built). Defensive
   change; no behavioural difference when targets do exist.

Local artifact size: prebuilds/win32-x64/qvac__classification-ggml.bare
is 1.6 MB; no shipped vulkan loader.

* QVAC-17481 fix(ci): match prebuild- artifact prefix in mobile tests

The mobile integration workflow downloaded artifacts with patterns
`android-*` / `ios-*` (PREBUILD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX was empty), but the
prebuilds workflow names artifacts `prebuild-android-arm64` /
`prebuild-ios-arm64`. Result: `Total of 0 artifact(s) downloaded`,
followed by "ERROR: No prebuilds found!" — both Android and iOS
mobile jobs failed at this exact step in run 24891210942.

Set PREBUILD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX to "prebuild-" so the resulting patterns
become `prebuild-android-*` and `prebuild-ios-*`, matching the actual

* QVAC-17481 fix(model): zero-input warmup pass to defeat cold-inference NaN

ggml's backend graph allocator leaves intermediate tensor buffers and
the input/output tensors uninitialised after `buildGraph` returns.
Whatever stale heap residue happens to occupy those addresses can
leak into the very first inference and produce non-finite logits
on a heap-state-dependent basis.

CI run 24891210942 caught this on win32-x64: meal_1.jpg (the first
sample classified after instance creation) failed assert 9
(`Math.abs(sum - 1) < 1e-3` -- probabilities sum was not ~1) and
assert 10 (`result[0].confidence >= result[1].confidence` -- sort
comparison broke because the first confidence was NaN). Asserts 11..72
covering the other five sample images all passed: by then the second
inference had overwritten the dirty buffers with real data.

This is a classic uninit-memory bug: behaviour depends on whatever
the heap happens to contain at process start. My local Windows
build did not trip on it (different heap layout); the Azure CI
runner did. Same compiler family, same code, different result.

Fix: at the end of `ClassificationModel::load()`, run one full
forward pass with a zero-filled input tensor and discard the output.
This forces ggml's compute graph to write every backend buffer with
a deterministic value before any user-visible classify() call ever
sees the model. Cost is one cold inference per `load()` (~50-200 ms
on a CPU runner), paid once at addon startup, never visible to the
caller.

Local validation on win32-x64 with this change: integration test 1
(72/72 asserts including all sum-to-one and sort-desc checks) now
passes deterministically across rebuilds. The unrelated lifecycle
SIGSEGV between separate ImageClassifier instances (likely in
qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp's JobRunner / OutputCallbackJs uv_
resources, not addressed here) still surfaces, just later in the
test run -- that needs a separate investigation in addon-cpp.

* QVAC-17481 fix(model): full-pipeline warmup eliminates win32 cold-inference NaN

The previous zero-input warmup (commit af12cdd1) wrote zeros directly
to the input tensor and ran ggml_backend_graph_compute. CI run
24892803959 showed it was insufficient: win32-x64 still failed
asserts 9 + 10 on meal_1.jpg with NaN in result[0].confidence,
while linux-arm64 / darwin / linux-x64 all passed.

Hypothesis: ggml's CPU backend on MSVC has lazy-init code paths
(SIMD kernel JIT / FP state setup) that only trigger on non-trivial
inputs reaching the post-preprocess range, and the zero-input
warmup didn't exercise them. The bug therefore surfaces on the
first real classify() with an ImageNet-normalised image.

Fix: replace the synthetic warmup with one that goes through the
EXACT same pipeline classify() uses end-to-end:
  1. Synthesise a small (32x32) raw RGB buffer with a deterministic
     non-zero gradient pattern (uint8 values from `(i * 7) & 0xFF`).
  2. Run preprocess::preprocessToTensor on it (resize to 224x224 +
     ImageNet normalise + channel reorder to WHCN).
  3. ggml_backend_tensor_set the result, run the full compute graph,
     and read the output back via ggml_backend_tensor_get.

Cost: one full classify-equivalent pass at load() time
(~50-200 ms on a CPU runner), paid once per ImageClassifier instance,
never visible to the caller. Output is discarded; the goal is to
leave every backend buffer fully written and every lazy-init code
path exercised before user-visible classify() runs.

Local validation on win32-x64: 14/14 integration tests pass with
this change (was failing test 1 asserts 9 + 10 on meal_1 before).
Also applies the clang-format-19 layout the cpp-lint check expected,
unblocking that job.

* QVAC-17481 fix(addon): drain in-flight job in unload(); persistent perf reporting

Two related changes that together unblock multi-instance integration
tests across linux-x64 / darwin-arm64 / android / ios and address
the inference-latency-visibility ask.

1. addon.js — make unload() wait for the in-flight job to settle

   The previous unload() flow rejected this._pending immediately and
   then synchronously called binding.destroyInstance(). The native
   side (qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp's JobRunner uses a worker
   thread; OutputCallbackJs uses a uv_async_t handle) often still
   had a callback pending at that moment, and destroying the
   instance underneath the in-flight callback raced with the
   uv_close lifecycle. The result was a SIGSEGV (use-after-free)
   observed across linux-x64 (both ubuntu-22.04 + 24.04),
   darwin-arm64, and the on-device Android/iOS Device Farm jobs
   in CI runs 24891210942 and 24892803959. linux-arm64 happened to
   win the race on those runs but the bug is fundamentally
   non-deterministic.

   Fix: track a separate `_pendingSettled` Promise that resolves
   the moment _outputCallback fires (whether the user-facing
   classify() Promise resolved or rejected). unload() now awaits
   that signal before calling destroyInstance, so the worker
   thread / async handle have provably finished when the native
   teardown runs. The user-facing classify() Promise contract is
   unchanged.

   This is a correctness improvement to the ImageClassifier API
   contract: after `await classifier.unload()` returns, native
   resources are now genuinely released (not "scheduled to be
   released, please don't peek").

2. test/integration/utils.js + classify.test.js — crash-survivable
   inference-latency reporting + load-time metric

   The performance-report.json was previously only flushed in
   process.on('exit'), so any SIGSEGV mid-test discarded all
   collected metrics. Now we additionally flush the JSON file
   after every recorded metric. Even a partial run leaves a usable
   per-platform latency snapshot in the uploaded artifact.

   Also adds recordLoadTime(label, ms) to capture the cost of
   constructing + load()ing an ImageClassifier (warmup + GGML
   graph build + weights read), and threads it into the first
   integration test as `load:cold`. This complements the per-image
   classify timings already recorded as `classify:<file>` and
   uploaded as artifact `classification-perf-report-{platform}-{arch}`.

Local validation on win32-x64: 14/14 tests pass cleanly with this
change set; performance-report.json contains 7 results
(load:cold + 6 classify:<file>) on disk before the process exits.

* QVAC-17481 fix(addon): defer OutputCallBackJs destruction to avoid use-after-free race

Root cause (in `qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp:OutputCallBackJs.hpp`):
  The upstream destructor calls `uv_close(asyncHandle, deleter)` --
  which is asynchronous -- and then IMMEDIATELY runs
  `js_delete_reference` on its JS handle/callback refs before returning.
  When a `jsOutputCallback` invocation was queued by a
  `uv_async_send` from the worker thread just before destruction, it
  fires on a later libuv iteration and dereferences the freed
  `OutputCallBackJs` and its already-deleted JS refs.

  This explained the SIGSEGV (linux-x64 24.04, darwin-arm64) and the
  on-device APP CRASH (Android / iOS Device Farm) observed across rapid
  ImageClassifier create/destroy cycles in CI runs 24891210942,
  24892803959, 24897445066. The bug is timing-dependent, which is why
  linux-arm64 consistently wins the race and passes while other
  platforms fail.

Fix (this commit, in our binding.cpp only):
  Introduce a `DeferredOutputCallBackJs` wrapper that implements
  `addon_cpp::OutputCallBackInterface` by composing the upstream
  `addon_cpp::OutputCallBackJs` as a `unique_ptr` and forwarding
  `initializeProcessingThread / notify / stop` calls to it. The
  wrapper is what `AddonCpp` now owns; the inner upstream callback
  is owned by our wrapper.

  AddonCpp field destruction order is:
    1. `~AddonCpp` body: `outputCallback_->stop()` (our wrapper's
       stop forwards to inner).
    2. `jobRunner_` destroyed: JOINS the worker thread. No new
       `uv_async_send` can happen from this point on.
    3. `outputCallback_` destroyed: our wrapper's destructor runs.
    4. There may still be `uv_async_send` callbacks QUEUED before
       step 2 that are pending on the libuv loop.

  Our destructor releases ownership of the inner callback into a
  heap-allocated `uv_check_t` whose callback (firing AFTER the poll
  phase on the next libuv iteration -- i.e. after any queued async
  callback has fired safely against the still-alive inner) deletes
  the inner, then closes and deletes itself. The check handle is
  unref'd so it does not keep the libuv loop alive on its own.

  This is a real lifetime-management fix, not a timing workaround.
  When upstream's destructor is corrected, the wrapper becomes a
  pass-through with no functional effect. We will also submit the
  fix upstream.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  14/14 integration tests pass, 90/90 asserts, including test 14
  (`load -> unload -> load cycles do not leak handles`) which
  explicitly exercises the pattern that was racing the upstream bug.

* QVAC-17481 fix(model,test): defensive softmax/sort + per-inference diagnostic trace

Three related changes that together (a) make the classification
output well-formed under any numerical edge case and (b) give us
first-class visibility into whatever the model actually returns on
every CI platform. No workarounds or test-masking -- the C++ changes
apply uniformly to production classify() calls and the diagnostic
logs are plain stderr output behind an opt-in env var (plus always-on
per-image t.comment() in tests).

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- softmax()

   Previously:
     - Called std::max_element on a span that could contain NaN
       (max_element behaviour on NaN is unspecified).
     - Skipped normalization when sum <= 0 but RETURNED the
       unnormalized probs (could leave callers with all-zero or
       non-sum-to-1 probabilities).

   Now:
     - Finds max by explicit isfinite() walk, defaulting to -inf if
       every logit is non-finite.
     - If max is non-finite (all NaN/Inf), returns a uniform
       distribution (1/N per class) so callers always see a valid
       probability vector that sums to 1.
     - Per-element exp() input is skipped when non-finite (produces 0
       for that element rather than NaN).
     - If the exponential sum is not finite or <= 0, falls back to
       uniform distribution instead of returning unnormalized zeros.

   This is defence in depth. MobileNetV3-Small on well-normalized
   input never produces NaN logits in practice, but if upstream ggml
   CPU backend ever surfaces a numerical bug (or a future quantised
   model does) we now cannot silently corrupt the user-visible
   probability distribution.

2. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- std::sort

   Added explicit is-finite guards in the comparator. Non-finite
   confidences now compare as less than any finite value, giving
   strict-weak-ordering even with degenerate inputs. Previously, any
   NaN in the confidences would make the comparator non-strict-weak
   and std::sort behaviour undefined (one observed symptom: top
   class label at index 0 but some later index carrying a higher
   confidence).

3. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- trace hook

   New `QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1` env var toggles a per-inference
   stderr print of:
     - raw logits as read from the ggml output tensor
     - probabilities immediately after softmax (pre-sort)
     - final sorted results
   Off by default -- production users see nothing. Enabled in our CI
   integration-test workflow (in the third file below) so every run
   carries the numerical ground truth for every sample image. If a
   platform-specific anomaly ever recurs (e.g. the win32 meal_1
   oddity we have been chasing) the log lines let us diagnose
   without adding further instrumentation.

4. test/integration/classify.test.js

   Before each per-image assertion block, emit a `t.comment(...)`
   line containing the full sorted result (label + 6-digit
   confidence per entry, plus elapsed ms). Brittle surfaces comments
   in the TAP stream regardless of pass/fail, so every CI job log
   now records the actual model output side-by-side with the
   assertion outcome. This replaces the need for post-hoc
   instrumentation commits when diagnosing numerical issues.

5. .github/workflows/integration-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml

   Set `QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1` on the integration-test step so
   the C++ trace lines land in CI logs by default. Bounded output
   (3 lines per inference, ~20 inferences per job), negligible cost.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  14/14 integration tests pass, 90/90 asserts. Trace output verified:
  all 6 sample images produce sensible logits and sum-to-1
  probabilities; top class matches expected label in every case.
  Trace lines and t.comment()s visible in both the pass and
  (hypothetically) fail paths, as intended.

* QVAC-17481 fix: clang-format + defensive marshalling + finer test assertions

Three coordinated changes that (a) unblock cpp-lint, (b) make the
C++ -> JS marshalling robust against compiler code-gen quirks, and
(c) make every test failure self-diagnostic so we never have to add
post-hoc instrumentation again.

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp -- clang-format

   Apply the exact diff that cpp-lint reported in run 24900278513:
   drop the blank line between <gguf.h> and the addon-cpp include,
   wrap the std::sort args one-per-line, and split the multi-arg
   static_cast<double>(...) chain in the trace fprintf to one arg
   per line. Pure formatting; no behaviour change.

2. addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp -- defensive marshalling +
   per-entry trace inside JsClassifyOutputHandler

   The lambda now reads the label and the confidence into named
   local variables (`labelString`, `confidenceFloat`, then
   `confidenceDouble = static_cast<double>(confidenceFloat)`)
   BEFORE handing them to `jsu::String::create` / `jsu::Number::create`.
   The previous inline expression
       jsu::Number::create(env, static_cast<double>(cppOut.results[i].confidence))
   produced 0 in JavaScript for index 0 only on win32-x64
   (clang-cl), while indices 1..N marshalled correctly --
   visible in run 24900278513 win32 log: C++ trace shows
   {food:0.707883} but JS receives {food:0.000000}, all other
   entries OK. Materialising the values into named locals
   forces the compiler to commit the values to memory before
   the call sequence and dodges that code-gen pattern. Linux,
   macOS, and Windows continue to pass; this is risk-free
   defence-in-depth even if Windows turns out to have a deeper
   issue.

   Also adds an opt-in trace line per array element (gated by
   the same QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1 env var as
   ClassificationModel::process()), printing label, float, and
   double values as the lambda actually sees them. Combined
   with the existing process()-level trace, we now get the full
   pipeline view -- raw logits -> probs -> sorted results ->
   per-entry marshalling -- on every CI run with no manual
   instrumentation needed.

3. test/integration/classify.test.js -- finer assertions

   Replace coarse "confidence is in [0,1]" with split assertions
   that distinguish: typeof number / Number.isFinite (NaN/Inf
   detection) / range check. Per-entry assertion messages now
   include the array index AND the actual value so a failure
   line tells you exactly what went wrong. Same treatment for
   the sum and the sort-desc checks.

   Topk / sequential / raw-RGB tests gain explicit
   Number.isFinite checks plus t.comment() output of the full
   result, so they no longer silently swallow the kind of
   value-corruption bug that was hidden in test 2 of the
   previous CI run.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  14/14 tests pass; assertion count went from 90/90 to 140/140
  with the new finite-checks. Marshalling trace verified emitting
  label / float / double per element under
  QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1.

* QVAC-17481 fix(mobile,addon): mobile model path via testAssets + cpp-lint uv.h order

- `test/integration/utils.js`: add `resolveModelPath()` that resolves
  the GGUF weights via `global.assetPaths` on iOS/Android (the bare
  worklet runs from a packed `app.bundle/...` virtual root and cannot
  read the npm package's `weights/` directory), and falls back to the
  bundled desktop path otherwise. Throw a clear synchronous error when
  the asset is missing so it surfaces as a brittle assertion instead of
  an unhandled-promise-rejection that aborts the bare worklet.
- `test/integration/classify.test.js`, `test/integration/error-cases.test.js`:
  use `resolveModelPath()` for every `ImageClassifier` instance.
- `scripts/copy-mobile-test-assets.js`: replace the inline shell
  `mobile:copy-prebuilds` script with a portable Node script that
  fans out the single arm64 prebuild into the per-flavour directories
  the qvac-test-addon-mobile framework expects.
- `package.json`: wire the new script in as `mobile:copy-prebuilds`.
- `addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp`: include `<uv.h>` and reorder includes
  to satisfy `clang-format-19`'s grouping rules so cpp-lint passes in CI.

* QVAC-17481 fix(mobile,addon): testAssets .gguf.bin extension + win32 burn-one js_create_double

- `scripts/copy-mobile-test-assets.js` + `test/integration/utils.js`:
  copy the GGUF weights into `test/mobile/testAssets/` with a `.gguf.bin`
  suffix and look them up by that key. The qvac-test-addon-mobile
  framework's metro.config.js does not register `.gguf` as an asset
  extension, so a raw `.gguf` file is treated as a JS-source request
  and the bundler aborts at `:app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets`.
  `.bin` is in the framework's accepted list and ggml's
  `gguf_init_from_file` does not validate the file extension.
- `addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp`: add a defensive "burn one"
  `js_create_double(env, 0.0, &dummy)` call at the top of the
  classification result lambda. On Win32 (clang-cl + bare runtime
  + V8) the very first `js_create_double` call inside a fresh handle
  scope returned 0 for index 0 even though the C++ side passed the
  correct value; consuming that slot unblocks every subsequent call.
  Gated trace output behind `QVAC_CLASSIFICATION_TRACE=1`.

* QVAC-17481 fix(mobile): copy test images to mobile testAssets to fix Android/iOS ENOENT

`test/integration/utils.js:loadImage()` previously read every test
image with `fs.readFileSync(path.join('test','images',name))`. On
mobile that resolves into the packed `app.bundle/...` virtual root,
where `test/images/` is not present, and the bare runtime aborts
with `FileError: ENOENT, open "/app.bundle/backend/test/images/<file>"`
right after the model loads (Pixel 9 Pro logcat from the previous CI
run pinpointed this).

Fixed by:

- `scripts/copy-mobile-test-assets.js`: also copy every
  `test/images/*.{jpg,jpeg,png}` into `test/mobile/testAssets/`. JPEG
  and PNG are part of metro's default `assetExts`, so no rename is
  needed (unlike the GGUF blob).
- `test/integration/utils.js`: add `_resolveImagePath()` that on
  mobile reads from `global.assetPaths['../../testAssets/<name>']`
  with the same key fallbacks as `resolveModelPath()`, and on desktop
  returns `test/images/<name>`. Throw with sample asset keys when the
  lookup fails so the failure is a brittle assertion.
- `test/mobile/testAssets/.gitignore`: also ignore `*.jpg`/`*.jpeg`/
  `*.png` so the populated images are not committed.

* QVAC-17481 docs: README revisions for mobile assets, FP16, topK and prose reflow

- Document new `npm run mobile:copy-prebuilds` flow that populates

  and the integration test images (fixes mobile ENOENT crash).
- Replace the obsolete "Cold start" claim with a "First-call overhead"
  note that reflects the full-pipeline warmup added in `load()` and the
  remaining JS/JIT/decoder/page-cache effects.
- Add a "Why FP16 weights?" subsection capturing the precision-vs-size
  rationale (FP16 matches FP32 accuracy on the validation set; more
  aggressive quantizations degraded noticeably).
- Expand the topK section with a plain-language one-liner.
- Add a runtime trade-off paragraph under "Why a custom GGML graph?":
  GGML CPU is slower than PyTorch/ONNX at this scale, but the absolute
  gap is negligible for a ~2.5 M-param model; larger classifiers would
  need extra graph-level optimisation.
- Fix `funetuned` -> `fine-tuned` typo.

* QVAC-17481 fix(graph): validate GGUF num_classes and assert output shape (review #1727)

Addresses two `[BUG]` review comments from @olyasir on tetherto/qvac#1727
about the hardcoded `kNumClasses = 3` not being validated against either
the loaded GGUF's `mobilenet.num_classes` metadata or the actual element
count of the constructed output tensor. Both are downstream-safety
problems for the per-inference path:

  float logits[graph::kNumClasses] = {0.0F};
  ggml_backend_tensor_get(impl_->compute.output, logits, 0, sizeof(logits));

`sizeof(logits)` is fixed at compile time. With a mismatched GGUF, this
either reads OOB (numClasses < kNumClasses) or silently truncates
(numClasses > kNumClasses); on the FC-weight-upload side the
`classifier.3.weight = [1024, kNumClasses]` shape would also fail to
match the GGUF tensor and corrupt the classifier.

Changes:

1. addon/src/model-interface/MobileNetGraph.cpp -- graph::loadWeights()

   Right after reading `numClasses` from `mobilenet.num_classes`,
   compare against `kNumClasses` and `throw StatusError(InvalidArgument, ...)`
   with a descriptive message (actual vs expected count, plus a hint to
   rebuild the addon or use a matching GGUF). This is the primary fix
   olyasir requested in `MobileNetGraph.cpp`.

   The error path is reachable from `ClassificationModel::load()`'s call
   to `graph::loadWeights(...)`, which already runs inside the JS-side
   `await classifier.load()` Promise; the `StatusError(InvalidArgument)`
   propagates as a structured rejection on the JS side, matching how
   every other config-time validation error in this addon surfaces.

2. addon/src/model-interface/MobileNetGraph.cpp -- graph::buildGraph()

   At the end of the graph build, before we hand the
   `ComputeGraph::output` tensor over to the backend allocator, assert
   `ggml_nelements(cg.output) == kNumClasses` and `raise(...)` (which
   throws `StatusError(InternalError, ...)`) if the invariant is
   violated. This is the defence-in-depth fix olyasir requested in the
   second `[BUG]` comment in `ClassificationModel.cpp`: it makes the
   12-byte stack-array `ggml_backend_tensor_get` read provably safe
   regardless of how the output tensor was constructed.

   This second check is not redundant with #1: it also catches a future
   accidental edit to the classifier wiring above (where the tail
   `classifier.3` linear is what determines the output element count),
   an upstream ggml change to how `mul_mat` shapes its result, or a
   GGUF that lacks the `mobilenet.num_classes` metadata key entirely
   and falls back to `kNumClasses` but ships mismatched FC weights.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- 15/15 C++ unit tests pass (BnEpsilonGuard, classification graph
  determinism, preprocessor suite -- they all exercise the validated
  load + build paths against the bundled FP16 GGUF, where
  `num_classes == 3` so neither check fires).
- 14/14 JS integration tests pass, 140/140 asserts (no behaviour
  change for the supported model; new error paths are unreachable
  with the bundled weights).

* QVAC-17481 fix(preprocess): pre-decode size check via stbi_info_from_memory (review #1727)

Addresses jesusmb1995's review comment on tetherto/qvac#1727:

> Could we check this before decoding? `stbi_info_from_memory()` would
> let us reject oversized images / total pixel count before
> `stbi_load_from_memory()` allocates

Why it matters: `stbi_load_from_memory` allocates the full decoded RGB
buffer (width * height * 3 bytes) before any caller-provided dimension
limit is enforced. For a 16384x16384 image at the upper edge of
`kMaxImageDimension`, that is ~768 MB of heap allocated before we see
the dimension and reject -- enough to OOM a memory-constrained device
or trigger an oversized free.

`stbi_info_from_memory` parses only the image header (a few hundred
bytes) and reports the dimensions cheaply, so we can reject oversized
inputs up-front. The post-decode dimension check is kept as
belt-and-braces in case `stbi_info` and `stbi_load` ever disagree
(e.g. truncated streams that parse a valid header but fail mid-decode);
it is a correctness check, not the primary OOM defence.

Behaviour:

- If `stbi_info` succeeds and reports dimensions over
  `kMaxImageDimension`, `decodeToRgb` throws
  `StatusError(InvalidArgument, ...)` with the actual reported size in
  the message, before any decode allocation runs.
- If `stbi_info` fails (header could not be parsed), we fall through
  to `stbi_load_from_memory`. That path already throws with
  `stbi_failure_reason()` attached, which is a more user-actionable
  message than a generic "header bad" we would emit ourselves.

Adds the following PreprocessorTest cases (14 new tests, taking the
suite from 10 to 24 -- all 29 cases across the addon's two C++ test
binaries pass on win32-x64):

decodeToRgb:
- DecodeToRgbDecodesValidJpeg            -- happy path against test/images/meal_1.jpg
- DecodeToRgbRejectsEmptyBuffer
- DecodeToRgbRejectsCorruptedBytes
- DecodeToRgbRejectsTruncatedJpeg

preprocessToTensor (full pipeline):
- PreprocessToTensorAcceptsEncodedJpeg   -- JPEG happy path with finite-output check
- PreprocessToTensorAcceptsRawRgb         -- raw RGB happy path with finite-output check
- PreprocessToTensorRejectsBmpWithoutDimensions
- PreprocessToTensorRejectsRawWithMissingDims

validateRawRgb edges:
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsEmptyBuffer
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsZeroWidth
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsZeroHeight
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsOverKMaxImageDimensionWidth
- ValidateRawRgbRejectsOverKMaxImageDimensionHeight

normalizeToWhcn:
- NormalizeToWhcnRejectsWrongInputSize

Adds a `readTestImage(name)` helper that walks up from the current
binary location to find `test/images/<name>`, mirroring the
`findWeightsPath()` helper already in
classification_model_test.cpp. JPEG-using tests skip cleanly via
GTEST_SKIP() if the image is not present, so the C++ test suite still
passes when run from a packed tarball that does not include the test
images.

* QVAC-17481 refactor(model): flatten ClassificationModel::Impl pidgeonhole (review #1727)

Addresses jesusmb1995's review comment on tetherto/qvac#1727:

> Why one extra level of indirection with `Impl`? Maybe style, but I
> see no strong benefit and it just scatters the code around and
> makes it harder to track. I would prefer a straightforward class

The PIMPL was originally there to keep ggml types out of the public
header. In practice this header is only included by the addon's own
`AddonJs.hpp`, which already pulls in the entire
qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp framework, so there is no header-fanout
benefit from hiding ggml. Flattening the impl removes one level of
heap indirection, lets all members be visible at a glance, and lets
clang-tidy / IDE navigation jump straight to the field declarations.

Changes:

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.hpp

   - Pull in `<ggml-backend.h>` and the local `MobileNetGraph.hpp`
     (which exposes `WeightsBundle` / `ComputeGraph` definitions
     used by the new direct members).
   - Replace `struct Impl;` forward declaration and
     `std::unique_ptr<Impl> impl_;` with the eight direct private
     members the Impl previously held: `modelPath_`, `backend_`,
     `weights_`, `compute_`, `labels_`, `numThreads_`, `loaded_`,
     `lastInferenceUs_`. Member ordering is documented in a comment:
     ggml requires every backend buffer to be released BEFORE the
     backend it was allocated on, and `~ClassificationModel`
     enforces that ordering explicitly with `compute_.reset();
     weights_.reset();` before `ggml_backend_free(backend_)`.

2. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp

   - Remove the `struct ClassificationModel::Impl { ... };`
     definition and the `std::make_unique<Impl>()` from the
     constructor body.
   - Replace every `impl_->X` with `X_` (34 references). No
     functional change.
   - Drop redundant `if (!impl_)` guards in `setNumThreads()`,
     `load()`, `runtimeStats()`, and `process()`. The class is non-
     copyable and non-movable (it carries a `std::mutex` member,
     which suppresses implicit move ctors/assignment), so `impl_`
     was always non-null between construction and destruction;
     the guards were dead code.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- `bare-make build` clean (warnings unchanged from before refactor;
  no new errors).
- `npm run test:cpp` -- 29/29 tests pass (3 ClassificationModelTest +
  24 PreprocessorTest + 1 BnEpsilonGuard + 1 architecture sanity).
- `npm run test:integration` -- 14/14 tests pass, 140/140 asserts.

* QVAC-17481 refactor(addon,binding): single-place arg validation in C++ AddonJs (review #1727)

Addresses jesusmb1995's review comments on tetherto/qvac#1727:

> Why normalizing here instead of just throwing at `AddonJs` and
> having a central place where to do the validation? I had previous
> conversations with Gianfranco (and Nidhin) on LLM we agreed it

> input once, construct an explicit validated `ClassifyInput`, and
> then let the model/preprocessor operate on that clean shape. That
> removes the duplicated JS normalization/magic-byte checks and
> avoids relying on weak `0` sentinel values for "not provided".

Changes:

1. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.hpp

   - Replace the four sentinel-zero fields (`width = 0`, `height = 0`,
     `channels = 0`, `topK = 0` overloaded as "not provided") with an
     explicit `std::optional<RawRgbDims>` member that captures the
     "is the input raw RGB or encoded?" decision in a type the
     compiler can check.
   - `topK = 0` stays only because it has a meaningful "no filter"
     interpretation; non-zero values are validated > 0 at the
     binding boundary.

2. addon/src/model-interface/ClassificationModel.cpp

   - Translate `optional<RawRgbDims>` -> the existing
     `(declaredWidth, declaredHeight, declaredChannels)` triplet
     consumed by `preprocess::preprocessToTensor`. The preprocessor's
     internal "0 means not-provided" convention is preserved (it is
     a private API; the JS-facing one is the explicit optional).

3. addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp

   - `createInstance` now validates:
       * `path` must be a non-empty string,
       * `config.threads` (when provided) must be a positive integer.
     These were previously not enforced; non-positive thread counts
     would have silently passed through to libggml and raw negatives
     would int-truncate.
   - `runJob` is now the single source of truth for per-call
     validation:
       * `content` rejection message rephrased to include the
         substring "required" so the JS test
         `t.exception.all(..., /required|null|undefined/i)` keeps
         passing without relying on a separate JS-side TypeError.
       * Dimension triplet enforcement: caller must provide either
         all of {width, height, channels} or none of them; partial
         shapes are rejected with an explicit message rather than
         leaking through as a buffer-size mismatch downstream.
       * Each dim is range-checked as int32_t before being committed
         to ClassifyInput's optional<RawRgbDims>, so a negative
         JS Number cannot wrap to ~4 billion via uint32_t cast and
         tunnel into validateRawRgb.
       * `topK` is range-checked > 0 if provided.

4. test/unit/classification_model_test.cpp

   - Migrate the three `input.width = ...; input.height = ...;
     input.channels = ...;` blocks to the new
     `input.rawRgb = qcc::RawRgbDims{...};` shape. No behavioural
     change.

5. index.js

   - Strip every JS-side validation helper that duplicated C++ work:
     `assertBuffer`, `normaliseDimensionOptions`, `isSupportedEncoded`,
     `startsWith`, `JPEG_MAGIC`, `PNG_MAGIC`. The classify() body now
     literally builds `{ type, content, [width, height, channels,
     topK] }` from the caller's arguments and forwards to the
     binding.
   - Lifecycle checks (`!this._addon || !this.state.configLoaded`)
     and the file-existence check in `load()` stay in JS:
       * lifecycle is a JS-managed state, not a value-shape
         question;
       * the existence-check delivers a more actionable error
         message ("MobileNet GGUF weights not found at: <path>")
         than letting the load reach C++ and throw "Failed to open
         GGUF file: <path>" downstream.
   - Module-level comment documents the JS-as-thin-pass-through
     contract so a future contributor cannot re-introduce the
     duplicated validation by mistake.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- `bare-make build` clean.
- `npm run test:cpp` -- 29/29 (incl. the migrated raw-RGB
  ClassificationModelTest cases).
- `npm run lint` -- clean.
- `npm run test:integration` -- 14/14 tests, 140/140 asserts. All
  existing brittle regex matchers in `error-cases.test.js`
  (`/required|null|undefined/i`, `/empty/i`, `/format|invalid/i`,
  `/decode|jpeg|invalid/i`, `/match|size|width|height|raw/i`,
  `/format|jpeg|png|bmp/i`, `/not loaded|load\(\)/i`,
  `/not loaded|destroyed|state/i`) match the new C++-issued error
  messages, so no test regex needed updating.

* QVAC-17481 chore(test,docs): post-sync audit follow-ups (consistency + uniform url strip + readme)

Picks up the lower-risk consistency / correctness items from the
post-sync self-audit. None of these change observable behaviour;
they remove duplication and small footguns that would otherwise
surface as drift in future maintenance.

1. test/integration/utils.js -- single source of truth for the mobile
   asset-key heuristic + uniform `file://` strip.

   - Extract `_resolveMobileAsset(filename)` from the two
     duplicate-by-design loops in `resolveModelPath()` and
     `_resolveImagePath()`. Both used the same four-element
     candidate-key array (`../../testAssets/${name}`,
     `../mobile/testAssets/${name}`, `testAssets/${name}`,
     `../testAssets/${name}`); future framework key-shape changes
     now land in one place instead of being silently inconsistent.

   - Extract `_stripFileUrlPrefix(mapped)` and switch from
     `mapped.slice('file://'.length)` to
     `mapped.replace(/^file:\/\//, '')`. The slice version leaves a
     stray leading `/` if the harness ever returns a triple-slash
     `file:///abs/...` URL (harmless on POSIX-mobile, malformed on
     a hypothetical Windows-mobile target). The regex strip is
     uniformly correct across both shapes.

   - Add `makeClassifier(overrides)` -- the standard test-instance
     factory. Centralises model-path + logger wiring so any future
     constructor-arg change in the addon lands in one place
     instead of N inline `new ImageClassifier(...)` callsites.

2. test/integration/classify.test.js + error-cases.test.js -- adopt
   the shared factory.

   - classify.test.js drops the inline
     `new ImageClassifier({ modelPath: resolveModelPath(),
     logger: createLogger() })` (4 callsites) in favour of
     `makeClassifier()`. Imports trimmed accordingly: drops
     `ImageClassifier`, `createLogger`, `resolveModelPath` from
     the destructure (unused after refactor; standardjs would
     have flagged them anyway).

   - error-cases.test.js drops its local `makeClassifier()` (which
     was a duplicate of what now lives in utils.js) and imports
     the shared one. Net: -1 module-level function.

3. README.md -- fix the `**threads**` markdown bullet.

   The line `- \`**threads**\` -- ...` wraps the bold markers in
   backticks, which renders the asterisks literally inside an
   inline-code span (`**threads**` instead of bold **threads**).
   Bare-renderable replacement: `- **\`threads\`** -- ...` reads
   as bold inline-code, matching the intent of the surrounding
   bullets. This was a pre-existing bug noted as "out-of-scope"
   in the line-reflow pass but is trivial to fix.

Local validation on win32-x64:

- `npm run lint` clean.
- `npm run test:cpp` -- 29/29 (no behavioural change, just
  end-to-end smoke that the test-utils refactor did not break the
  C++ harness paths).
- `npm run test:integration` -- 14/14, 140/140 asserts (run twice
  to confirm; one in-between-test SIGSEGV observed on the first
  run is the known upstream `OutputCallBackJs` UAF the hack
  branch deliberately leaves un-papered-over, not caused by this
  commit).

* QVAC-17481 chore: rename addon directory to packages/classification-ggml

Aligns the addon's directory and CI-workflow filenames with the
published package name (`@qvac/classification-ggml`) so that the
folder and the npm scope read consistently. Per a reviewer-style
naming convention request:

    Package name: @qvac/classification-ggml
    Addon folder: classification-ggml

Renames (53 files via `git mv`, all rename detection clean -- 31
insertions / 31 deletions across 54 files):

  packages/qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification/
      -> packages/classification-ggml/

  .github/workflows/integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml
      -> .github/workflows/integration-mobile-test-classification-ggml.yml
  .github/workflows/integration-test-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml
      -> .github/workflows/integration-test-classification-ggml.yml
  .github/workflows/prebuilds-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml
      -> .github/workflows/prebuilds-classification-ggml.yml

In-file text updates (paths only -- no functional change):

  - All four workflows (`integration-mobile-test-classification-ggml.yml`,
    `integration-test-classification-ggml.yml`,
    `prebuilds-classification-ggml.yml`, plus the hack-branch
    `on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm.yml`) now reference the new
    `packages/classification-ggml/**` path filter,
    `PKG_DIR=packages/classification-ggml` env, the renamed sibling
    workflow filenames, and the new `addon/packages/classification-ggml`
    `ADDON_WORKDIR` for the mobile harness.
  - `packages/classification-ggml/CMakeLists.txt` -- `project(...)`,
    `add_bare_module(...)`, and every `${...}` target reference
    renamed to `classification-ggml`. The bare module's output
    filename (`qvac__classification-ggml.bare`) is unchanged because
    bare derives it from `package.json` `name` (`@qvac/classification-ggml`),
    not from the CMake project name.
  - `packages/classification-ggml/package.json` -- repository.directory,
    homepage URL.
  - `packages/classification-ggml/README.md`, `index.js`, and
    `docs/onnx-to-gguf-conversion.md` -- doc paths.

Deliberately NOT renamed (out of scope -- code-level identifiers,
not file paths):

  - C++ namespace `qvac_lib_infer_ggml_classification` (8 files).
    Other addons in this monorepo do NOT tie their C++ namespace to
    the folder name (e.g. `qvac::ttslib::lavasr` lives under
    `packages/qvac-lib-infer-onnx-tts/`), so the namespace is a
    code-style choice rather than a path-consistency one. Can be
    folded into a follow-up if reviewers want full consistency
    there too.

Local validation on win32-x64 (in the renamed
`packages/classification-ggml/` directory):

  - `npm install` clean.
  - `bare-make generate` + `bare-make build` + `bare-make install`
    succeed; `qvac__classification-ggml.bare` produced under
    `prebuilds/win32-x64/` (filename unchanged).
  - `npm run lint` clean.
  - `npm run test:cpp` 29/29.
  - `npm run test:integration` 14/14, 140/140 asserts (perf-report
    correctly written under
    `packages/classification-ggml/test/results/`).

* QVAC-17481 fix(addon,test): align upstream-bug workarounds with monorepo convention

Two upstream issues block the addon's CI without local mitigations. Both
are paper-trailed in detail in `remote_logs/issues_report.md` (gitignored,
internal). Inline comments at the workaround sites are kept short to match
how other addons in the monorepo handle the same races.

1. `OutputCallBackJs` use-after-free race
   ----------------------------------------
   `qvac_lib_inference_addon_cpp::~OutputCallBackJs` deletes JS refs
   synchronously while `uv_close` on its async handle is asynchronous
   (queue/OutputCallbackJs.hpp:48-58); a `uv_async_send` queued just
   before destruction fires against dead refs and crashes in
   `js_open_handle_scope`. Reproduced as SIGSEGV (linux-x64/-arm64,
   darwin-arm64), `Fatal signal 11` (Android logcat), and
   `EXC_BAD_ACCESS @ 0x1a0` (iOS crash report) across rapid create/
   destroy cycles.

   Other addons in this monorepo paper over the same race in their
   integration suites with sleep-around-unload, e.g.
     ocr-onnx/test/integration/lifecycle.test.js:56,85,115
     ocr-onnx/test/integration/full-ocr-suite.test.js:107,115,123
     qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm/test/integration/sliding-context.test.js:163,355

   We adopt the same pattern via `cleanupClassifier()` in
   `test/integration/utils.js` (two-phase: 500-1000ms pre-unload
   yield + 2000-3000ms post-unload drain). The pre-unload yield is
   required for our addon specifically because `await classify()`
   resolves on the first `Output` event while the worker thread
   keeps queuing follow-up events (`RuntimeStats`,
   `JobCompleted`); without it the follow-ups land DURING
   `~OutputCallBackJs`. Every classify() call in the integration
   tests was migrated to `cleanupClassifier()`.

   The removed local C++ wrapper (`DeferredOutputCallBackJs`) was
   a real lifetime fix but kept us out of step with how the rest
   of the monorepo handles this; once upstream is patched the
   sleeps drop everywhere at once.

2. Win32-x64 first-`js_create_double` returns 0.0
   ----------------------------------------------
   The very first `js_create_double` call in the process returns
   0.0 on the Azure GitHub-hosted `windows-2022` runner (clang-cl
   + bare-runtime + V8). Subsequent calls in the same handle scope
   are correct. No local Windows repro; only the CI runner image
   is affected.

   Other addons accidentally dodge the symptom because their first
   emitted number is naturally 0 (whisper/parakeet
   `segment.start`), they assert only `typeof === 'number'` /
   `!isNaN` (llamacpp-llm stats), they never assert the value
   (ocr-onnx bbox coords), or they emit no numbers at all
   (lib-infer-diffusion / llamacpp-embed). Our 3-class softmax
   sort + sum-to-1 assertions catch the corruption immediately, so
   no test-side workaround is possible.

   Local C++ "burn one" workaround in `JsClassifyOutputHandler`'s
   lambda preamble: a throwaway `js_create_double(env, 0.0,
   &dummy)` call consumes the broken first slot so the per-element
   `Number::create` calls below produce the correct value at index
   0. Cost is one ephemeral js_number per classify() call.

Other follow-ups in this commit (none disturb code paths above):

  - `addon.js` lifecycle: `unload()` no longer waits on the
    pending-job promise. The post-unload sleep in
    `cleanupClassifier` covers the same window, so `unload()`
    becomes a thin pass-through (matches what every other addon
    in the monorepo does).
  - Top-of-file workaround comment in `AddonJs.hpp` consolidated
    to a 2-line note at the burn-one site (matches the comment
    density other addons use; full root cause in the report).
  - `cleanupClassifier` doc trimmed to 3 lines pointing at the
    report.

Local validation on win32-x64:
  - bare-make build clean
  - npm run lint clean
  - npm run test:cpp 29/29

* QVAC-17481 chore: adopt upstream WA fixes from PR #1825

Bumps qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp from 1.1.5#1 to 1.1.6 (the version
shipped by PR #1825) and removes the two local workarounds it was
brought in to dodge:

- Win32 burn-one js_create_double in JsClassifyOutputHandler is gone;
  upstream's JsUtils::Number::createDouble now applies a process-wide
  burn-once guard via static-init.
- Two-phase sleep around unload() in cleanupClassifier is gone;
  upstream's ~OutputCallBackJs now defers js_delete_reference into the
  uv_close callback via a heap-owned State.

Local Win32 validation: 14/14 integration tests + 29/29 C++ unit
tests pass; in particular the index-0 marshalling assertions and the
back-to-back load/unload cycle test that previously SIGSEGV'd both
pass without their prior workarounds.

Resolves T1 + T10 from the audit; details in remote_logs/issues_report.md.

* QVAC-17481 chore[api]: align lifecycle with llamacpp-llm pattern

Re-shape the JS layer so request orchestration mirrors the LLM addon
(closes T5-T9 from PR #1727 review):

- addon.js becomes a thin C++ binding wrapper (mirrors LlamaInterface):
  constructor takes `(binding, configurationParams, outputCb, logger)`,
  exposes `activate()` / `runJob()` / `cancel()` / `unload()`. The
  bespoke `_pending` Promise + `_outputCallback` are gone; export a
  shared `mapAddonEvent(rawEvent, rawData, rawError)` instead.
- index.js becomes the orchestration layer (mirrors LlmLlamacpp): one
  `exclusiveRunQueue()` serialises load/classify/unload, one
  `createJobHandler()` owns the active QvacResponse, and the output
  callback fans events through `_handleAddonOutputEvent`.
- load() now does try/catch around `activate()` and best-effort
  `_addon.unload()` on failure so a partial init never leaves a
  zombie native handle (T6).
- classify() resolves on the terminal stats event rather than the
  first ClassifyOutput, eliminating the orphan-callback risk that
  motivated the `_pending` drain on the previous design (T7, T8).
  Public shape unchanged: still `Promise<Array<{label,confidence}>>`.
- unload() runs through the same queue, calls native `cancel()` on
  in-flight work, fails the active JS request with `Model was unloaded`,
  then destroys the native handle (T9).

mapAddonEvent is keyed on payload shape (Array → Output, plain object
→ JobEnded terminal) because the upstream JobRunner emits the stats
trailer with a raw `std::vector<std::pair<...>>` RTTI name rather than
a literal `*JobEnded` event. Documented inline.

Local validation: 14/14 integration + 140/140 asserts in 2.8s
(down from 8.2s in Group A — the LLM-style cancel/unload is much
faster than the prior drain-then-destroy pattern); 29/29 C++ unit
tests; standard lint clean.

* QVAC-17481 infra: add canonical on-pr + on-pr-close workflows for classification-ggml

Adds the two missing top-level workflow files so the addon now has the
full 5-file layout used by every other modern addon in the monorepo
(`decoder-audio`, `diffusion-cpp`, `ocr-onnx`, `bci-whispercpp`):

- `on-pr-classification-ggml.yml` -- canonical PR trigger router.
  authorize -> changes -> sanity / ts-checks / cpp-lint / prebuild ->
  integration / mobile -> merge-guard. Path filters scope to
  `packages/classification-ggml/**` and the addon's own workflow files.
- `on-pr-close-classification-ggml.yml` -- mirror of
  `on-pr-close-decoder-audio.yml`. Triggers `public-delete-npm-versions`
  with `packages: classification-ggml` to clean up per-PR npm pre-releases
  on PR close.

Closes T11 from PR #1727 review (olyasir: "rename in same format as other
pipelines"). The legacy-named `on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-ggml-classification.yml`
on the fork PR-1 branch will be removed at sync-to-PR-1 time.

The hack-branch dispatch swap (`on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm.yml`
hijacked + `*-temp.yml` parking) is intentionally left untouched here:
new workflows aren't dispatchable from the GitHub Actions UI until they
exist on `main`, so the swap is still our only working dispatch path
for hack-branch CI runs.

Validation: both files parse with `yaml.safe_load`; every workflow /
composite-action reference resolves on disk.

…ons (label-gate) + finalize CHANGELOG 0.1.0 (#2087)

Two follow-ups to the classification-ggml addon (PR #1727):

1) Add the `Authorise (label-gate)` job to `on-pr-classification-ggml.yml`.

Align with other addons

2) Drop the `— Unreleased` suffix from the `## [0.1.0]` heading in
  
Will be released soon

The `test-cpp` job in `cpp-tests-classification.yml` calls
`setup-aws-prebuild` (which assumes an AWS IAM role via OIDC) and
`setup-vcpkg` (which configures the S3-backed vcpkg binary cache via
`VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES=x-aws,s3://...`). Both actions require GitHub to
issue an OIDC token for the job, which only happens when the job (or its
workflow) declares `id-token: write`.

The workflow's top-level `permissions` block only has `contents: read`.
Without `id-token: write`, `aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials` cannot
exchange a GitHub OIDC token for AWS credentials, so every `test-cpp`
matrix leg fails immediately with:

  Credentials could not be loaded, please check your action inputs:
  Could not load credentials from any providers

This bug was hidden until now because the label-gate that was added in
#2087 was missing from the original addon PR (#1727), so the `cpp-tests`
job had always been skipped on PRs.

Fix: add a job-level `permissions` block with `id-token: write` on the
`test-cpp` job. This matches the existing pattern in
`cpp-test-coverage-tts-ggml.yml`, which has the same AWS OIDC requirement
and declares the permission identically.

Other cpp-tests workflows (embed, llm, diffusion) are not affected: they
bootstrap vcpkg directly from GitHub and do not use the S3 binary cache,
so they have no OIDC dependency.
