Earlier perf #4 dropped the per-step ggml_backend_tensor_set for the
KV cache inputs on the assumption that ggml_set_input + the sched
allocator preserves input slots between ggml_backend_sched_graph_compute
calls. That holds for sched-managed multi-backend setups (where Tesla
T4 + Vulkan still produces cos_sim=0.99999 / max|Δ|=0.020 vs the
PyTorch reference), but it breaks two paths that actually run in CI:

  - CPU-only (alloc_staged_simple → ggml_gallocr → graph_compute)
    reuses input slots across compute calls, so steps 1–9 read garbage
    KV.
  - Adreno Vulkan on the Samsung S25 Ultra device farm slot has the
    same effective semantics (Adreno Vulkan driver) and crashed the
    addon test with the same divergence pattern.

Symptom on linux-x64 / linux-arm64 GitHub-hosted runners (CPU backend):
cos_sim = 0.3135 (threshold > 0.9), max|Δ| = 1.65 (threshold < 0.25).

Restoring the per-step upload unconditionally trades ~80 MB of H2D
traffic per inference on Vulkan-sched setups for correctness on every
backend. A conditional restore (skip on sched paths) would recover
that perf, but the branch isn't worth the correctness risk in this
PR.

Bundle of correctness, hygiene, and CI-doc fixes from the recent code
review.  Each item below has its own paragraph in the diff comments.

- #1 files-array: add test/utils/runSupertonicTTS.js + test/data/sentences-{medium,long}.js
  to package.json so consumers running the integration tests from the
  npm tarball don't crash with `Cannot find module ../utils/runSupertonicTTS`.
- #2 deps: move @qvac/langdetect-text from runtime dependencies to
  devDependencies (it's only referenced from examples/, which aren't in
  the published files list).
- #3 race-fix: ChatterboxModel::process()'s post-synthesize streaming
  detection used to read engine_->options() outside engineMu_, racing
  with reload().  synthesize() now returns SynthesizeResult { pcm,
  wasStreaming } where wasStreaming is captured under the engine lock
  against the local shared_ptr so process() doesn't have to touch
  engine_ again.
- #4 deferred-load: ChatterboxModel + SupertonicModel constructors
  used to call load() eagerly, so JsInterface::createInstance() (sync
  on the JS thread) was parsing ~370 MB of GGUF on the Bare event loop.
  Both models now implement IModelAsyncLoad: constructors validate +
  return; the actual load is deferred to waitForLoadInitialization(),
  which the new addon_js::activate wraps inside JsAsyncTask::run so the
  parse runs on a worker thread.  binding.cpp registers
  addon_js::activate in place of JsInterface::activate; tts.js now
  awaits the resulting promise.
- #5 dead code: drop _resolvePath (unused), drop the (void)inputObj
  read in AddonJs.hpp::runJob, document FAILED_TO_PAUSE /
  FAILED_TO_STOP / JOB_ALREADY_RUNNING in lib/error.js as reserved-but-
  not-thrown so future maintainers don't delete them blindly (the unit
  suite asserts the values).
- #6 cancel-reset: SupertonicModel grew Chatterbox's cancelRequested_
  reset pattern: cancel() sets it, synthesize() fast-fails on it,
  process() resets it per call so a stale cancel doesn't poison the
  next run.
- #7 useGPU comment: explain in JSAdapter::buildChatterboxConfig that
  the JS layer is the source of truth for useGPU and nGpuLayers wins
  downstream; left a pointer to std::optional<bool> if a future caller
  ever needs to distinguish "absent" from "explicit false".
- #10 fork pointers: README.md and test/utils/downloadModel.js no
  longer point at GustavoA1604/chatterbox.cpp; both reference the
  upstream tetherto/qvac-ext-lib-whisper.cpp/tts-cpp tree now.
- #9 doc: integration-mobile-test-tts-ggml.yml gained a header comment
  on the build-and-test job documenting that continue-on-error is the
  early-days landing posture (merge-guard treats success || skipped as
  pass), with a pointer to tighten once Device Farm provisioning is
  stable.

Nits:
- 'use strict' added to addonLogging.js (matches every other .js).
- node-vs-bare runtime banners on
  scripts/{generate,validate}-mobile-integration-tests.js.
- ttsOutputDebugString no longer JSON.stringify's the full PCM
  Int16Array on every chunk-streaming event; emits a tiny summary
  ({sampleRate, chunkIndex, isLast, sentenceChunk, outputArrayLen})
  instead.

Tests: 35 passing (33 -> 35; two new assertions cover the deferred-load
contract); 4 skipped real-GGUF tests behind the existing
QVAC_TEST_CHATTERBOX_T3_GGUF / QVAC_TEST_CHATTERBOX_S3GEN_GGUF /
QVAC_TEST_SUPERTONIC_GGUF env-var gates.  Lint clean.

…#1983)

* feat: add @qvac/tts-ggml package (Chatterbox English on qvac-tts.cpp)

New Bare addon wrapping the `qvac-tts::qvac-tts` static library (backed
by the `tts-cpp` port added in tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg).  API-compatible
with the Chatterbox engine exposed by `@qvac/tts-onnx` so downstream
consumers can swap backends without touching orchestration code.

## Scope

* First iteration.  Supports Chatterbox **English** only.  Chatterbox
  multilingual, LavaSR enhancer, Supertonic engine, and streaming are
  out of scope and remain in `@qvac/tts-onnx`.  They'll land alongside
  the evolution of qvac-tts.cpp.
* Native backend is the static `qvac-tts` library from the QVAC vcpkg
  registry (`ports/tts-cpp`, baseline `2026-04-21`).  No ONNX Runtime
  dependency.

## JS surface

* `@qvac/tts-ggml` exports `TTSGgml` with the same method shape as
  `ONNXTTS`:  `run` / `runStream` / `runStreaming` / `reload` /
  `unload` / `destroy`.
* `files: { modelDir }` looks for `chatterbox-t3-turbo.gguf` +
  `chatterbox-s3gen.gguf` side-by-side; `files.t3Model` /
  `files.s3genModel` override the defaults.
* Options: `referenceAudio`, `voiceDir` (baked profile), `seed`,
  `nGpuLayers`, `threads`, `outputSampleRate`, plus placeholders for
  the upcoming streaming flags (`streamChunkTokens`,
  `streamFirstChunkTokens`, `cfmSteps`).
* Shared reusable lib code (`lib/textChunker.js`,
  `lib/textStreamAccumulator.js`, `addonLogging.*`) is copied verbatim
  from `@qvac/tts-onnx`.
* New error class `QvacErrorAddonTTSGgml` uses codes **13001–14000**
  to avoid collisions with `@qvac/tts-onnx` (7001–7011) when both
  packages are loaded in the same Bare process.

## Native addon

* `addon/src/model-interface/chatterbox/ChatterboxModel.{hpp,cpp}` —
  `IModel` + `IModelCancel` implementation.  First-iteration strategy:
  assemble argv for `qvac_tts_cli_main` with a scratch `.wav` output
  path, call it synchronously, then parse the resulting 16-bit mono
  PCM wav back into `std::vector<int16_t>` for the JS handler.
  Consequences: every job re-loads the model (~700 ms + inference
  time), no mid-synthesis cancellation, no streaming.  The follow-up
  milestone replaces this with a persistent, struct-based API once
  qvac-tts.cpp exposes one.
* `addon/src/js-interface/{JSAdapter.{hpp,cpp}, binding.cpp}` — JS-to-C++
  config bridging (same string-map pattern as `@qvac/tts-onnx`) and the
  `BARE_MODULE(qvac_tts_ggml, ...)` registration exposing
  `createInstance` / `runJob` / `reload` / `activate` / `cancel` /
  `destroyInstance` / `loadWeights` / `setLogger` / `releaseLogger`.
* `addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp` — JS-facing `createInstance` / `runJob`
  / `reload` wrappers that register a `JsAudioOutputHandler` emitting
  `{ outputArray: Int16Array, sampleRate: number }` to JS.

## Build / registry

* `CMakeLists.txt` uses `find_package(qvac-tts-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)`
  and the standard `cmake-bare` + `cmake-vcpkg` scaffolding (shape
  matches `@qvac/transcription-whispercpp`).
* `vcpkg.json` depends on `tts-cpp` (with a `vulkan` feature passthrough)
  plus `qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp`, `qvac-lint-cpp`, and `gtest`.
* `vcpkg-configuration.json` points at tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg.
  NOTE: the baseline pin here is inherited from
  `@qvac/transcription-whispercpp` and **must be bumped** to a commit
  that contains the `tts-cpp` port once that registry PR lands.  A
  follow-up commit will update it.

## Tests & examples

* Integration + unit test files for Chatterbox English are copied
  verbatim from `@qvac/tts-onnx` with only mechanical renames
  (`ONNXTTS` -> `TTSGgml`, `QvacErrorAddonTTS` -> `QvacErrorAddonTTSGgml`,
  `@qvac/tts-onnx/text-chunker` -> `../../lib/textChunker.js`).  Some
  paths in `test/integration/addon.test.js` still import Supertonic /
  LavaSR helpers that don't exist in this package — those test blocks
  will fail fast when the file loads, which is expected until those
  backends get their own ggml packages.
* Examples: `chatterbox-tts.js`, `chatterbox-streaming-tts.js`, plus
  shared `wav-helper.js` + `pcm-chunk-player.js`.

## What's not in this PR (known gaps)

* No docs: README, NOTICE, CHANGELOG, PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE changes
  will land in a single documentation pass once the registry + fork
  commits have merged upstream.
* `vcpkg-configuration.json` baseline needs to point at a
  qvac-registry-vcpkg commit that ships `tts-cpp` (pending the
  registry PR).
* Actual `npm run build` requires the registry and fork commits to be
  on `main` of their respective upstream repos.

* chore: point tts-ggml vcpkg baseline at the tts-cpp-bearing registry commit

Bumps `vcpkg-configuration.json` to GustavoA1604/qvac-registry-vcpkg
at commit 1e2839680b6be8d8ffff889a9c29b966c176098c — the commit that
adds the `tts-cpp` port.  Paired with the `qvac-tts` library already
pinned in the port's `portfile.cmake` (GustavoA1604/chatterbox.cpp
@ 0fe4a521618cc30358040b29d75d4261b31cbb60).

Will be re-pointed at tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg once the registry
PR lands upstream.

* chore: tts-ggml: trim tests + examples to Chatterbox English, restore mobile wrapper

Second pass over @qvac/tts-ggml after the build started passing: prune
everything that only made sense for the ONNX-era multi-engine scope and
adapt the remaining Chatterbox-English bits to the GGUF + file-path
reference-audio contract.  Restores `test/mobile/` so the Android build
has something to point at.

## C++

* `ChatterboxModel.cpp`: the `ArgvBuilder::buildArgv` doc comment
  contained `**/` which closed the block comment early and broke the
  build.  Rewrote as a `//` comment.

## Examples

* `examples/chatterbox-tts.js` — rewrite for v0 contract: single
  `<text>` argv, `files: { modelDir }` pointing at the two GGUFs,
  `referenceAudio` is now a wav **path** (addon passes it to
  `--reference-audio`) instead of a Float32Array.  Drops
  english/multilingual arg and the CHATTERBOX_VARIANT switch that
  picked which `.onnx` files to load.
* Removed `examples/chatterbox-streaming-tts.js` +
  `examples/pcm-chunk-player.js`.  The v0 addon re-loads the model
  per `run()` call — exposing streaming would mislead.  Both come
  back alongside the persistent-engine milestone.
* `package.json`: `npm run example` now passes a default text so it
  runs without extra args.

## Tests

### Kept as-is (engine-agnostic)

* `test/unit/textChunker.test.js`
* `test/mock/{MockedBinding,utils}.js`
* `test/utils/{wav-helper,pcmConcatenator,loader.fake,runWhisper,runTTS}.js`
* `test/reference-audio/jfk.wav`, `test/data/sentences-*.js`

### Mechanical fixes

* `test/unit/tts.error.test.js` — fix error-code assertions to the
  tts-ggml range (`13001–14000`); was still checking the
  `@qvac/tts-onnx` range (`7001–7011`).
* `test/unit/tts-ggml.lifecycle.test.js` — fix stale
  `QvacErrorAddonTTS` import to `QvacErrorAddonTTSGgml`; switch the
  stubbed model to `{ t3Model, s3genModel }` GGUFs and drop the
  non-existent `engine: 'chatterbox'` option.
* `test/unit/tts-ggml.sentence-stream.test.js` — same GGUF/engine
  cleanup.

### Rewritten

* `test/unit/chatterbox.inference.test.js` — drop tests that asserted
  the old ONNX file shape (`tokenizer / speechEncoder / embedTokens /
  conditionalDecoder / languageModel`), the removed `engine` detection
  and the wrong `getModelKey` return value (`'onnx-tts'` -> `'tts-ggml'`).
  New tests cover: `modelDir` derives the two GGUF paths; explicit
  `t3Model` / `s3genModel` override the defaults.  The mocked-binding
  run/reload/cancel flow stays.
* `test/integration/addon.test.js` — fresh, ~180 LoC, Chatterbox-English
  only.  Ensures the GGUFs are present, runs the short sentence set
  through `loadChatterboxTTS` + `runChatterboxTTS[WithSplit]`, and
  (on darwin only) runs a whisper-based WER check via the existing
  `runWhisper` util.  Drops the Chatterbox-multilingual block + every
  Supertonic + LavaSR block that doesn't apply to this package.
* `test/utils/runChatterboxTTS.js` — rewrite for the GGUF contract:
  `files: { modelDir, t3Model, s3genModel }`, `referenceAudio` as a
  file path that falls back to `test/reference-audio/jfk.wav` (or the
  mobile test-asset when `global.assetPaths` is present).  No more
  WAV decode / resample on the JS side.
* `test/utils/downloadModel.js` — trim from 1007 LoC to 280.  Drops
  the Supertonic + LavaSR + Chatterbox-multilingual + Cangjie
  downloaders.  Keeps the shared HTTP/curl infrastructure and
  `ensureWhisperModel` (still used by the integration WER check).
  `ensureChatterboxModels` is now **check-only**: it verifies
  `chatterbox-t3-turbo.gguf` + `chatterbox-s3gen.gguf` exist locally
  and, if missing, prints the exact commands for generating them
  from the qvac-tts.cpp (née chatterbox.cpp) conversion scripts.
  Once the GGUFs land on a canonical HuggingFace repo we'll wire up
  download URLs here.

## Scripts

* `scripts/ensure-chatterbox.js` — simplify to a single invocation
  against `./models/`.  Drops the variant / language matrix that the
  ONNX downloader needed.
* `scripts/ensure-models.js` — now a thin alias to
  `ensure-chatterbox.js`.  Drops the Supertonic + LavaSR orchestration.

## Mobile

* Restored `test/mobile/{integration.auto.cjs, integration-runtime.cjs,
  testAssets/jfk.wav}` so the Android build has a wrapper to point at.
* `package.json`: re-added `test/mobile` to the `files` list.

## Gitignore

* Ignore generated `.clang-format` / `.clang-tidy` / `.valgrind.supp`
  (produced by the top-level `configure_file(...)` calls) and
  `build_*/` dirs (bare-make convention).

## Verified locally

* `npx standard "test/**/*.js" "*.js" "lib/*.js"` — clean.
* `npm run test:unit` — 38/38 pass (105/105 asserts).
* `npm run build && bare examples/chatterbox-tts.js "Hello from qvac tts ggml."`
  produces a 24 kHz wav as expected.

* Add streaming support

* Update ggml backend to use separate ggml repo

* tts-ggml: consume renamed tts-cpp library (2026-04-24#1)

Upstream chatterbox.cpp renamed the package + namespace + target from
qvac-tts to tts-cpp and tightened the library boundary; pick up the
new artefacts here:

- find_package(qvac-tts-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)
    -> find_package(tts-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)
- qvac-tts::qvac-tts  -> tts-cpp::tts-cpp
- qvac_tts::chatterbox -> tts_cpp::chatterbox (engine ptrs, EngineOptions,
  SynthesisResult, forward-decls in ChatterboxModel.hpp)
- #include <qvac-tts/chatterbox/engine.h>
    -> #include <tts-cpp/chatterbox/engine.h>
- Doxygen / inline doc references to the old names refreshed alongside
  the code changes.

vcpkg wiring:
- vcpkg-configuration.json baseline bumped to qvac-registry-vcpkg
  commit bc30b0b (ports/tts-cpp renamed and repointed at
  chatterbox.cpp@f8f9145).
- vcpkg.json tts-cpp constraint bumped to 2026-04-24#1 (the port that
  carries the rename + namespace + install(EXPORT) changes).

Verified with a cold bare-make generate + bare-make build against the
new port, and the addon's existing unit + integration test suites.

* tts-ggml: bump tts-cpp port to 2026-05-07 + registry baseline

Picks up the round-3 review-fix wave landed on the tts-cpp port:

  e673182  scrub stale patches/ refs from README                (N10)
  8ba10a6  drop unreachable TTS_CPP_GGML_LIB_PREFIX block        (N8)
  4b5d2d7  mirror N1-N7 fixes from chatterbox.cpp source-of-truth
            - N1 supertonic alive-registry guard against freed-backend
              gallocr_free assert on hot-swap (Vulkan/Metal/CUDA)
            - N2 drop dead g_sink_* state, soften log_set docstring
            - N3 Turbo BPE try/catch (exception-safe Engine ctor)
            - N4 STFT cancel checkpoint + tighter Engine::cancel() doc
            - N5 document s3gen_preload/unload refcount semantics
            - N6 drop dead cached_text_lc Supertonic shim
            - N7 fix misleading "no copy" view-vs-copy log wording

Plus the integrated-port-only round-2 fixes that landed earlier:

  fa0d490  close patches/-deleted regression: TTS_CPP_USE_SYSTEM_GGML
            now defaults ON; bundled-without-patches hard-errors at
            configure time with a pointer at the ggml-speech vcpkg
            port.
  ae34c58  README rewritten for integrated/vcpkg context.
  a2f2dd6  top-level qvac-ext-lib-whisper.cpp README points at the
            tts-cpp/ subtree (alongside parakeet-cpp/).

Public API used by ChatterboxModel (tts_cpp::chatterbox::Engine /
EngineOptions / SynthesisResult / s3gen_preload / s3gen_unload) is
backward-compatible: the new port adds Engine::backend_name(),
MTL-variant fields on EngineOptions (language / cfg_weight / min_p /
exaggeration), and a separate tts_cpp::supertonic::Engine class, but
nothing this consumer was already calling has changed.

Edits:

  packages/tts-ggml/vcpkg.json
    - tts-cpp dep: version>=2026-04-24#1 -> version>=2026-05-07.

  packages/tts-ggml/vcpkg-configuration.json
    - default-registry baseline: bc30b0b (April 2026 fork-only state)
      -> 16b91afdcfd59baea60e81f3da94f49311ef2a97.  The new baseline
      pulls in the post-tetherto-merge state (parakeet-cpp port at
      932d5d9, ggml-speech port-version 1 at f07bdd0) plus the new
      tts-cpp port (16b91af) on the developer's GustavoA1604
      registry fork.

Smoke-test plan: after running `vcpkg install` against the new
baseline, the tts-cpp port's vcpkg_from_github resolves at
GustavoA1604/qvac-ext-lib-whisper.cpp@e673182 (tts-cpp branch) until the
upstream PR merges.  ChatterboxModel should build and synthesize
identically; expanding to Multilingual + Supertonic flows is the
follow-up commit on the package side.

* Add chatterbox multilingual and supertonic

* Add mobile integration tests

* tts-ggml: drop clang-19 pin in linux-clang toolchain

The toolchain hardcoded `clang-19` / `clang++-19` (versioned binary
names) since the package's first commit (0a2c978).  Linux CI hadn't
exercised this path before — the new on-pr-tts-ggml.yml -> integration
matrix is the first time it does, and it fails on every linux runner
(ai-run-ubuntu-22.04, ai-run-linux-gpu, ubuntu-24.04-arm) at vcpkg's
"detect_compiler" step because none of the GH-hosted images ship a
`clang-19` symlink:

  Detecting compiler hash for triplet x64-linux...
  error: while detecting compiler information:
  ...
  CMake Error at scripts/cmake/vcpkg_execute_required_process.cmake:127
  (message): Command failed: ... -DVCPKG_CHAINLOAD_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=
  .../tts-ggml/vcpkg/triplets/../toolchains/linux-clang.cmake ...

Match parakeet's working pattern (qvac-lib-infer-parakeet/vcpkg/
toolchains/linux-clang.cmake): use unversioned `clang` / `clang++` so
each runner picks up its image's default clang (clang-15 on
ubuntu-22.04, clang-18 on ubuntu-24.04, whatever the AI runners ship).
The `-stdlib=libc++` flag added by x64-linux.cmake / arm64-linux.cmake
is honoured by every reasonable clang version.

* tts-ggml: unblock CI integration tests on every desktop runner

Four independent failures, one per platform:

1. linux-x64 / linux-arm64: addon load crashed at
   `libomp.so.5: cannot open shared object file`.  tts-cpp's binary is
   built with clang under the linux-clang toolchain and links against
   libomp (LLVM OpenMP runtime); only `libgomp1` (GNU OpenMP) was being
   apt-installed.  Add `libomp5` so libomp.so.5 is on the loader path.

2. darwin-arm64: convert-models.sh aborted at line 200 with
   `hf_args[@]: unbound variable`.  macOS's system bash is 3.2 which
   treats `"${arr[@]}"` as nounset access when the array is empty under
   `set -u`; with HF_TOKEN unset we hit it on every fresh runner.  Use
   the `${arr[@]+"${arr[@]}"}` idiom (defined-or-nothing) at all six
   call sites and add a header comment so the next maintainer doesn't
   accidentally regress.

3. darwin-x64: pip install bombed building `llvmlite` from source
   because the macos-15-large runner has no LLVM 15 development
   install.  Root cause: librosa pulls in numba 0.65+, which stopped
   shipping darwin-x86_64 wheels for Python 3.12.  Pin Python to 3.11
   in the Setup Python step; 3.11 has prebuilt wheels for the entire
   numba/llvmlite/librosa stack on darwin-x64 and is fine for every
   other converter dependency.

4. windows-2022: ChatterboxModel::load threw
   `vk::createInstance: ErrorIncompatibleDriver`.  Root cause: the
   addon's index.js::_validateConfig defaults `useGPU = true` when
   neither useGPU nor nGpuLayers is specified, so the test ran with
   n_gpu_layers=99 -> ggml_backend_vk_init -> vk::createInstance ->
   ErrorIncompatibleDriver on the runner's no-Vulkan-driver image.
   runChatterboxTTS.js now honours `process.env.NO_GPU === 'true'`
   (set on the no-GPU matrix entries) and forces useGPU=false on
   exactly those runners; the other test runners (chatterbox-mtl,
   gpu-smoke, multiple-runs) already had this guard.

Also documents the `mesa-vulkan-drivers` apt package (already pulled
in) as the software ICD that lets the Vulkan-built prebuild's runtime
backend probe enumerate at least one device on linux runners.

* tts-ggml: drop Chatterbox from mobile bundle (Metro V8 string limit)

Mobile build failed at `:app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets` with:

  SyntaxError: assets/testAssets/chatterbox-s3gen.gguf:
    Cannot create a string longer than 0x1fffffe8 characters

Root cause: Metro's bundler reads every asset under
`test/mobile/testAssets/` via `Buffer.toString()`.  V8's max string
length is 0x1fffffe8 (~512 MiB).  chatterbox-s3gen.gguf is ~1 GiB even
with --quant q4_0 because the s3gen converter only quantizes attention
weights and leaves the bulk of the s3gen graph in fp16 ("0/291 weight
tensors quantized" in the converter log).

Fix: bundle ONLY supertonic.gguf (~125 MiB, comfortably under the
limit) on mobile.  Mobile Chatterbox tests degrade cleanly to
`t.pass('Skipped: Chatterbox GGUFs not available')` via the existing
`ensureChatterboxModels` helper -- it already returns
{ success: false } when the GGUFs aren't on disk.

Cache key bumped to v2 so existing v1 cache entries (which include
the chatterbox files) are evicted on the next run.

Bundling Chatterbox on mobile requires either:
  - adding `gguf` to qvac-test-addon-mobile's metro `assetExts` so the
    JS-string read is skipped (then the s3gen file can flow through the
    bundle as a raw asset), or
  - pushing the chatterbox GGUFs to the device via `adb push` outside
    the bundle and surfacing the path through downloadModel.js's
    existing ANDROID_CANDIDATE_DIRS fallback.

Both are outside the scope of this PR; documented inline above the
cache step for the next maintainer.

…ache via KvCacheSession (#2007)

* QVAC-18182 feat[api]: typed cancel outcomes on the wire + atomic KV-cache via KvCacheSession

Builds on QVAC-18181's request lifecycle primitives (DisposableScope,
RequestContext, RequestRegistry) to deliver the M2 milestone:

- Typed cancel outcomes: `stopReason: "cancelled"` on `completionDone`
  events, and `InferenceCancelledError(requestId, partial)` thrown from
  CompletionRun promise-aggregates (`final` / `text` / `toolCalls` /
  `stats`). The wire stream still ends normally so iterating
  `run.events` is unaffected — the typed error lives on the aggregate
  promises that callers `await` for the final result.

- KvCacheSession (`server/bare/plugins/llamacpp-completion/ops/
  kv-cache-session.ts`) — single atomic owner of the three KV-cache
  layers (`cachedMessageCounts`, `initializedCaches`, on-disk `.bin`
  files). `beginTurn` / `commitTurn` / `rollback` collapse the three
  duplicated cleanup blocks in `completion-stream.ts` into one
  scope.defer hook. Cross-model administrative deletion lives at the
  module level as `deleteKvCacheState(...)`, called by the RPC
  `handleDeleteCache` handler.

- Stop-button race close — `RequestRegistry` now keeps a bounded
  cancelled-before-begin map (128 entries, 30s TTL). A `cancel({
  requestId })` that lands before the server's `begin(...)` ran is
  applied retroactively when begin lands, so same-tick stop clicks no
  longer disappear into the void. Internal-only — the wire surface for
  `cancel` is unchanged (Option A in the brief).

Cursor rules updated in the same PR so the request-lifecycle and
KV-cache topic docs stay in sync with the implementation.

Tests:
- unit: KvCacheSession (bareTest-gated, runs in the Bare consumer),
  RequestRegistry race + bounded-set eviction, completion-event schema
  cancelled cases.
- e2e: cancellation-tests.ts adds three definitions — mid-stream cancel
  (events.stopReason === "cancelled", final rejects with
  InferenceCancelledError, partial.text matches concatenated
  contentDelta), cancel-before-begin (retroactive abort), and
  cancel-then-resume-kv-cache (rollback wiped the three layers, the
  next turn re-primes cleanly).

* chore: drop planning labels (Mx/Dx) from QVAC-18182 comments

Strips milestone (`M1`/`M2`/`M3a`...) and deliverable (`D2`/`D5`/`D7`)
labels from comments and test titles introduced with the typed-cancel
outcomes + KvCacheSession work. The substantive descriptions of the
contracts (Stop-button race, cancelled-before-begin map, three-layer
session ownership, etc.) are preserved; only the planning-doc
references are removed so the code reads cleanly without the pitch
context. Durable `QVAC-XXXXX` ticket references are kept.

No behavior or API surface changes.

* chore: drop Asana ticket references from QVAC-18182 code comments

Strips QVAC-XXXXX inline ticket references from code/test comments
introduced by the typed-cancel-outcomes work. Concept names
(Stop-button race, cancelled-before-begin, etc.) and prose
descriptions of the contracts are preserved; only the ticket-tag
suffixes go. Also renames a test cache key from
`qvac-18182-cancel-resume-kvcache` to `cancel-then-resume-kvcache` so
the cache key reads as a stable identifier rather than a ticket
reference.

No behavior or API surface changes.

* QVAC-18182 doc: clarify error>cancelled precedence + deleteKvCacheState concurrency

Address non-blocking review nits on PR #2007:

- aggregate-events: explain why a wire event carrying both error and
  cancelled signals resolves to error (closes brief open question #3).
- kv-cache-session: doc-comment on deleteKvCacheState explaining the
  ordering guarantee under concurrent in-flight turns -- delete is
  wire-async, in-flight turns roll back idempotently when their commit
  probe finds the file gone (closes brief open question #4).

Comments only; no behavior changes.

* QVAC-18182 doc: demonstrate typed cancel outcomes in cancel example

Enhance the existing cancel-by-request-id example to demonstrate the
two M2 cancel-outcome channels:

- run.events ends normally with completionDone carrying
  stopReason: "cancelled" -- show reading it inside the iteration loop.
- run.text rejects with InferenceCancelledError(requestId, partial) on
  cancel -- show the instanceof check and consuming partial.text,
  partial.toolCalls, partial.stats.

Also update the header to remove the now-stale "logged as a no-match"
sentence (same-tick cancels are no longer dropped after M2's race
close).

Pure documentation enhancement; no API or behavior changes.

* QVAC-18182 fix: address PR review — partial-prime cleanup + parent-aborted state

Two follow-ups from Opanin's review on PR #2007:

1. KvCacheSession.beginTurn: if `primeIfMissing` throws after the
   addon has partially written a `.bin` to disk, the next
   `beginCustom` would `fsPromises.access(cachePath)` → true and
   trust the half-primed file as a valid cache (no rollback hook is
   registered yet — the handler hasn't seen the `TurnHandle`). Wrap
   both `beginCustom` and `beginAuto` prime calls in a shared
   `primeOrCleanup` helper that best-effort unlinks the partial file
   before re-throwing the original prime error. Adds a bare-only unit
   test asserting the on-disk file is removed and the init flag stays
   unset on the failed-prime path.

2. RequestRegistry.begin: when `parentSignal` was already aborted at
   begin time, line 271 aborts the controller but the `state` ternary
   still landed `"running"`, exactly the "momentarily-running with
   already-aborted signal" the preCancel branch was guarding against.
   Extend the ternary to cover both inputs and the existing
   `parentSignal already aborted` test now also asserts
   `ctx.state === "cancelling"`.

No behavior change on the happy path. Lint + typecheck + 351-test
unit suite green locally on the changed files.

* QVAC-18182 fix: prime is atomic — addon writes to .prime.tmp + atomic rename

Upgrade the previous reactive cleanup workaround (PR #2007 review by
@opaninakuffo) into a proactive atomic-by-construction design:

  - The session steers `model.run({ saveSessionPath })` to a sibling
    `cachePath + ".prime.tmp"` path.
  - Only after the prime closure resolves successfully do we promote
    the temp file to the canonical `cachePath` via `fsPromises.rename`
    (atomic same-volume on every host we target).
  - The canonical cache path is therefore *never* observable in a
    partial state — a thrown prime is indistinguishable on disk from
    a never-attempted prime, so the next existence probe (in-process
    or cross-process worker restart) cannot trust corrupt bytes.

Defensive details:
  - We unlink any leftover `.prime.tmp` *before* invoking the closure,
    so a deferred-write addon path can't accidentally promote
    stale-from-crash bytes left by a prior worker.
  - On prime success we probe the temp path before renaming. If the
    addon deferred its disk write (some llama.cpp paths flush lazily),
    the temp doesn't exist and we leave the canonical path absent —
    `verifySaveAndRecord` in `commitTurn` is the authoritative check.
  - On rename failure we unlink the temp and surface the rename error;
    rename atomicity guarantees the canonical path was untouched.

Why this is better than the prior `primeOrCleanup`:
  - Best-effort `unlink` was load-bearing for correctness in the old
    design — a failed unlink left a half-primed canonical file the
    next `beginCustom` would trust. The new design moves the only
    possible "partial" file to a non-trusted name, so failed cleanup
    cannot corrupt the canonical name by construction.
  - The unit test no longer mocks the workaround surface; it asserts
    the actual invariant ("canonical path was never written") plus
    the positive rename and the leftover-sweep guarantees.

Tests: 3 bare-only kv-cache-session unit tests (throw-leaves-canonical-
untouched, success-promotes-via-rename, leftover-from-crash-is-swept).
Lint + typecheck + 351-test unit suite green locally on the changed files.

Long-term, the right fix is one layer down — the llama.cpp addon should
write transactionally itself and surface save errors instead of
swallowing them. When that lands, this helper collapses to a direct
`prime(cachePath)` call and the `verifySaveAndRecord` access-probe
fallback (TODO already documented) can be retired together. Filed as
a separate follow-up; out of scope for this PR.

* QVAC-18182 fix: replace prime-atomic helper with verifyPrimedFile post-prime probe

Audit of the llama.cpp addon (`CacheManager::writeCacheFile` →
`llama_state_save_file`, return value swallowed; `LlamaModel::
processPromptImpl` lines 575-599) shows the bug shape Opanin flagged
on PR #2007 — "primeIfMissing throws after a partial save" — does not
actually fire. The save call is the very last operation on the
prefill path, the addon ignores its return value, and any earlier
throw means no save was attempted. So:

  - `primeOrCleanup` (`ac8d2d74e`) and the upgrade to
    `primeAtomically` (`a7420f3e6`) defended against a code path that
    the addon does not produce.
  - The real corruption shape is silent partial writes (addon's
    `llama_state_save_file` returns false, addon ignores it, file is
    half-written or empty). Atomic temp+rename did NOT close this
    gap — on a "silent partial" the closure resolves successfully and
    the helper would happily promote the partial `.prime.tmp` to the
    canonical path.

Replace both helpers with a small `verifyPrimedFile` that mirrors the
existing `verifySaveAndRecord` access-probe pattern used at commit
time, applied at prime time:

  - After a successful prime closure, `fsPromises.stat` the canonical
    path. If it doesn't exist (addon was interrupted before save) or
    has size 0 (addon save call produced an empty file), throw and
    best-effort unlink the empty leftover so the next existence probe
    doesn't trust it.
  - This catches the two failure modes Opanin's concern was a proxy
    for (cancelled-mid-prime; addon save quietly produced nothing)
    without claiming defense against partial-but-nonzero writes,
    which can only be closed at the addon layer.

The `RequestRegistry` parent-aborted-state fix (`ctx.state` ternary
covers `opts.parentSignal?.aborted`) from `ac8d2d74e` is preserved
unchanged — it stands on its own as a correct response to Opanin's
second comment.

Long-term root cause stays the addon: have
`CacheManager::writeCacheFile` check `llama_state_save_file`'s return
value and throw on failure. When that lands, both `verifyPrimedFile`
and `verifySaveAndRecord`'s access-probes can be retired together.
Filed as a separate follow-up — out of scope for this PR.

Tests: 3 prior bare-only prime-atomic tests removed; 2 new bare-only
tests added (no-file and empty-file rejection paths). Lint +
typecheck + 330-test unit suite green locally on the changed files
(pre-existing sdcpp-generation lint errors unchanged).

* QVAC-18182 doc: kv-cache rule documents addon non-transactional save + matched access-probes

Extend the "Cache Initialization (primeIfMissing)" section in
.cursor/rules/sdk/docs/kv-cache-system.mdc with the corrected
addon-contract analysis:

  - The llama.cpp addon's CacheManager::writeCacheFile discards
    llama_state_save_file's bool return; maybeSaveCacheToDisk is the
    last call on the prefill path. So no closure-rejection path can
    coexist with a partial file on disk.
  - Document the four real outcomes as a table (interrupted /
    success / silent partial write / pre-eval throw) so future
    readers can see why the SDK takes the shape it does.
  - Pin both SDK-side defenses as a matched pair: verifyPrimedFile
    at prime time (added in this PR) and verifySaveAndRecord at
    commit time (existing). Both are honest about what they catch
    (missing / empty file) and what they don't (partial-but-nonzero,
    only addon fix can close that).
  - Reference the addon-layer follow-up
    (1214778658064488 / "throw on llama_state_save_file failure")
    so the next contributor knows both probes will be retired
    together when the addon throws on save failure.

No code change — rule-only update.

* QVAC-18183 feat[api]: inference-handler migrations

Migrate the four remaining inference handler kinds onto the
RequestRegistry primitives shipped in M3a (cancel-capability
declaration, per-kind concurrency policy, structured
`[request-lifecycle]` logging). Each handler now opens a
request-scoped `ManagedRequestContext`, threads the optional
`requestId` from the wire request (falling back to a server-minted
UUID), routes hard cancels to `addon.cancel()` at a single signal-
listener leaf, and replaces ad-hoc `try/finally` cleanup with
`scope.defer(...)` registrations so cleanup runs in LIFO order on
every exit path.

- `embed` (kind "embeddings", `{ scope: "model", hard: true }`):
  `packages/sdk/server/bare/ops/embed.ts` opens the context, threads
  `requestId` from `embedRequestSchema`, post-await `signal.aborted`
  checks raise `InferenceCancelledError`.
- `transcribe` / `transcribeStream` (kind "transcribe",
  `{ scope: "model", hard: true }`): collapsed
  `try { ... } finally { restorePrompt(...) }` into
  `scope.defer(restorePrompt)`, added per-iteration
  `if (ctx.signal.aborted) break;` in the `response.iterate()` loop
  (Option A from §4 of the M3b brief — explicit, visible at the call
  site, no `takeWhileNotAborted` wrapper).
- `translate` (kind "translate"): two engine branches.
  llamacpp-completion declares `{ scope: "model", hard: true }` and
  wires `signal → addon.cancel()`; nmtcpp-translation keeps
  `{ scope: "none" }` and soft-cancels inside both the streaming
  iterate loop and the `runBatch` early-return path.
- `finetune` (kind "finetune"): flipped the llamacpp-completion
  manifest declaration from `{ scope: "none" }` to
  `{ scope: "model", hard: true }` (the addon already exposes
  `model.cancel()`). `startFinetune` opens a registry context and
  wires `signal → model.cancel()`; the two-level `try/finally`
  collapses into `scope.defer` for `clearFinetuneRuntimeState` and
  `handle.removeListener`. `cancelFinetune(modelId)` is now a thin
  wrapper over `getRequestRegistry().cancel({ modelId, kind:
  "finetune" })` — never invokes `model.cancel()` directly.

Per §4 of the brief: per-iteration cancel granularity uses
Option A (explicit `if (ctx.signal.aborted) break;` at the top of
each streaming loop body). No `takeWhileNotAborted` wrapper was
introduced.

Per §7 anti-patterns: M3b adds zero `oneAtATimePerModel` policies
(the four migrated kinds tolerate concurrent requests against the
same model), leaves the M1 compat-fallback in
`server/bare/ops/cancel.ts` untouched (M3d retires it), and does
not modify `cancelHandler.ts`.

Other changes:
- `embed`, `transcribe`, `transcribeStream`, `translate`,
  `finetune` request schemas grow an optional `requestId` field
  (`.string().min(1).optional()`); server-side ops fall back to
  `generateServerRequestId()` when absent.
- Whisper / Parakeet / LLM / NMT plugin handlers thread
  `request.requestId` into their bare ops.
- `plugin-cancel-capability.test.ts` truth-table flipped for the
  `finetune` row.
- New `inference-handler-migrations.test.ts` covers schema-level
  optional-`requestId` acceptance for all four kinds and pins the
  `[request-lifecycle] begin/cancel/end` line shape for each kind.
  The op-level cancel-by-requestId / cancel-by-modelId integration
  tests are bare-runtime-gated (the migrated ops pull `bare-crypto`
  / `bare-fs` transitively and can't load under Bun, same reason as
  `finetune-ops.test.disabled.ts`).
- `.cursor/rules/sdk/request-lifecycle-primitives.mdc` and
  `.cursor/rules/sdk/docs/request-lifecycle-system.mdc` updated:
  M3b row marked shipped, finetune truth-table row flipped,
  canonical-handler-shape section refreshed to use `embed.ts` as the
  cleanest reference and to document the Option A per-iteration
  check.

Verification:
- `bun lint` (eslint + tsc --noEmit): green.
- `bun run typecheck`: green.
- `bun run test:unit`: every test file green except the
  pre-existing `client/rpc/rpc-client.ts` `#rpc` package-resolution
  failure on upstream/main (also reproducible without these
  changes; unrelated to M3b).

* QVAC-18183 fix: address PR #2058 review feedback

- transcribe.ts: route the two `Transcription Update` debug emits
  through `requestLogger.debug` so they carry the per-request prefix,
  matching the rule's `grep "requestId=<id>"` invariant. Drop the now-
  unused module-level `logger`. Collapse two `scope.defer(async () =>
  { await restorePrompt(...) })` wrappers to bare arrow callbacks
  (review #5, #10).

- inference-handler-migrations.test.ts: add bareTest op-level cancel-
  by-requestId cases for `transcribe (whisper)` (asserts loop exit +
  addon.cancel called + reload-count == 2 to pin the
  `applyPrompt + restorePrompt runs exactly once` invariant) and
  `finetune` (asserts model.cancel called + scope unwind clears the
  runtime-state flag back to IDLE). Pin the NMT soft-cancel contract
  by instrumenting the addon and asserting addon.cancel was NOT called
  during a translate cancel (review #3, #7).

- request-lifecycle-primitives.mdc: reconcile the "polling
  signal.aborted mid-handler" anti-pattern with the new "Per-iteration
  cancel check (M3b)" canonical pattern. The anti-pattern is *adding*
  the check when the addon already honours signal directly; the M3b
  pattern is *introducing* the check where the addon doesn't and the
  loop is the only soft-cancel exit (review #4).

* QVAC-18183 fix: drop unsafe `addon` re-narrowing in translate.ts onAbort

Addresses opaninakuffo's review comment on #2058:
`AnyModel.addon` is already typed as `AddonInterface | undefined`
(see `server/bare/registry/model-registry.ts:17-20`), so the
`as unknown as { addon?: { cancel?(jobId?: string): Promise<void> } }`
cast was unnecessary. Matches the simpler pattern used by `embed.ts`
and `transcribe.ts` for the same `onAbort` shape — keeps the four
M3b-migrated ops uniform.

* QVAC-18183 doc: trim internal milestone references from cursor rules + code comments

Removed the "Migration Roadmap" table, "M1/M2/M3a-d" milestone labels, planning-brief
decision references (Decision A/B.2, D1/D2), workspace-local paths
(`tasks/release-0.11.0-planning/...`, `pitch-3-decisions.md`), and "in review"
forward-references from the request-lifecycle cursor rules and the matching code
comments in the bare ops, finetune wrapper, and the inference-migration tests. The
canonical handler shape, anti-patterns, primitives reference, plugin cancel-capability
truth table, and concurrency-policy / structured-logging sections all stay — only the
internal milestone framing comes out.

* feat: add qvac-lib-infer-vla hello-world addon scaffold

- New addon package at packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla with ggml backend.
- CI workflows for on-pr, on-merge, prebuilds, integration + mobile tests, cpp-tests.
- Temporarily renames on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml to on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml
  so the existing workflow name triggers CI while verifying hello-world scaffold.

* fix[notask]: pure-JS helper pattern for hello-world addon unit tests

- Extract `normalizeName()` into a pure-JS `addon.js` helper in the vla
  scaffold so `npm run test:unit` no longer loads the native `.bare` addon.
- Mirror the pattern used by qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed, which lets CI's
  ts-checks job (which runs `test:unit --if-present` without a build) pass.
- Propagate the same pattern to the `new-addon` skill templates and document
  the rule in SKILL.md so future scaffolds inherit it.

* fix[notask]: fix Windows build for hello-world scaffold

Add Windows compile defines (`NOMINMAX`, `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN`, `NOGDI`)
and link `msvcrt.lib`, mirroring qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed. Without
these, the Windows SDK macros `ERROR` (wingdi.h) and `min` (minwindef.h)
collide with `Priority::ERROR` and `std::min` in the
`qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp` headers.

Propagate the same fix to the `new-addon` skill template so future
scaffolds inherit it.

* fix: use versionless filename for pinned Vulkan SDK download

LunarG rotated out the versioned `vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-${VERSION}.tar.xz`
download URL and now only serves `vulkan_sdk.tar.xz` under each pinned
version path. Prebuild workflows using the pinned version (currently
1.4.341.1) fail with `wget` exit code 8 (HTTP 404) on every fresh runner.

Align the pinned-version URL with the `latest` URL pattern, which already
uses `vulkan_sdk.tar.xz` and continues to return 200 for pinned versions.

Verified:
- https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.4.341.1/linux/vulkan_sdk.tar.xz -> 200
- https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.4.341.1/linux/vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.4.341.1.tar.xz -> 404

* chore[notask]: bump setup-vulkan-sdk action pin on tmp-vla

Point the vla prebuild workflow at the cherry-picked Vulkan URL fix
so CI on this branch actually picks it up. The previous pin still
resolved to the pre-fix action, so Linux/Android prebuilds kept
hitting wget exit 8 (HTTP 404) even after the fix commit landed on
tmp-vla.

* feat[bc]: port SmolVLA ggml inference into qvac-lib-infer-vla

Replace hello-world scaffold with real SmolVLA inference engine (739-tensor
vision+text+expert model, 10-step flow-matching ODE). JS surface exposes
VlaModel, preprocessImage, padState. Integration test downloads the LIBERO
checkpoint from S3 via GitHub OIDC so CI can exercise end-to-end inference.

* infra: add on-pr CI workflow for qvac-lib-infer-vla

The VLA package was missing an on-pr workflow, so nothing ran sanity checks,
cpp-lint/tests, ts-checks, prebuilds, or integration tests against a PR. This
adds one mirroring the Embed template so integration tests (which pull the
SmolVLA LIBERO GGUF from S3) gate the PR.

* doc: harden new-addon skill with explicit 7-workflow check

Add Step 4a validation gate that lists every expected workflow filename and
fails loudly if any is missing. The prior VLA scaffold shipped with only 6/7
workflows (on-pr-*.yml silently dropped), which left PRs against the new
package without sanity checks, cpp-lint/tests, ts-checks, prebuilds, or
integration tests. Also make Step 6 list each generated filename by name so
miscounts are caught at report time.

* fix: use std::numbers::pi_v<float> to unbreak Windows (MSVC) build

MSVC's `<cmath>` does not define `M_PI` unless `_USE_MATH_DEFINES` is set
before the include, so the x64-windows prebuild job failed to compile
smolvla.cpp. Switch to the C++20 `std::numbers::pi_v<float>` constant,
which works on every toolchain we build with.

* feat: enable full GPU backend set (Vulkan + Metal + OpenCL) in qvac-lib-infer-vla

Drop default-features:false on the qvac-fabric dep so the port's platform-
auto-selected backends get built: Metal on iOS/macOS, Vulkan on Linux/Android/
Windows, plus the CPU fallback everywhere. Declare the OpenCL dep on Android
so qvac-fabric's Android GPU backend can pick it up alongside Vulkan, mirroring
the LLM addon's setup.

The addon already calls ggml_backend_load_all_from_path(BACKENDS_SUBDIR) and
ships each GGML_AVAILABLE_BACKEND as a shared/static lib via CMakeLists, so no
C++ changes are needed — the extra backends get discovered at runtime.

* chore[notask]: rename vla workflow display names for easier triggering

Use `on-merge-vla` for the merge workflow and `vla` for the PR workflow so
`gh workflow run vla` uniquely resolves to the on-pr trigger without ambiguity
against all the other `(Vla)`-suffixed package workflows.

* chore[notask]: mask vla on-pr workflow as on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml on tmp-vla

Temporarily rename the VLA on-pr workflow to the OCR filename so
`gh workflow run on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml --ref tmp-vla` resolves the workflow
ID via main's registration and then dispatches against our file content
on tmp-vla. Scoped to tmp-vla only — does not affect main's OCR workflow.

* fix: satisfy standardjs no-new in vla integration tests

Capture the VlaModel constructor return and destroy it so standardjs
stops flagging the error-path probes with `no-new`. These paths throw
synchronously before the native handle is fully built, so the destroy
is cheap and safe.

* fix: replace brittle t.exception() in vla unit tests to unblock bare run

Brittle's t.exception() runs the probed function inside a promise chain; on
the bare runtime the assertion helper rethrows into an uncaught rejection
which aborts the process with SIGABRT (exit 134). This made the ts-checks
job fail on CI even though every assertion passed.

Switch both rejection probes (preprocessImage and padState) to the same
try/catch + t.ok pattern already used in the integration tests.

* style: apply clang-format-19 to qvac-lib-infer-vla sources

Satisfies cpp-lint 'Check C++ files format' step (run from CI):
git-clang-format-19 --extensions c,cc,cpp,cxx,h,hh,hpp,hxx -- packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla

* test[notask]: fix ci failures from tmp-vla PR-style dispatch

- mobile: add test/mobile/ scaffold (integration-runtime.cjs + auto.cjs)
  and matching generate/validate scripts. Mobile workflow requires
  test/mobile/*.cjs; before this commit the dir didn't exist.
- integration (linux-x64): install aws CLI v2 on linux runners
  (idempotent). Needed for ai-run-linux-gpu self-hosted runner that
  lacks a pre-baked aws CLI.
- integration (darwin-x64): skip S3 download + QVAC_VLA_MODEL on the
  macos-15-large Intel runner. Its Apple Paravirtual GPU exposes only
  ~1 GB working set — too small for the 4 GB SmolVLA model, which
  triggers GGML_ASSERT(buf_src) mid-inference on Metal. Darwin-arm64
  still runs the full end-to-end test.

* ci[notask]: skip cpp-lint on workflow_dispatch in vla on-pr

cpp-lint passes `github.event.pull_request.base.sha` as the diff base;
on workflow_dispatch that's empty, and the called workflow then runs
`git-clang-format-19 --diff ""` which fails with "'' is not a commit".

Gate the job on `github.event_name == 'pull_request_target'` so
dispatch-style runs (we use these to test tmp-vla) don't fail it.
Real PRs still run the format check normally. merge-guard is
if-always, so the skipped job doesn't block it.

* fix: ship ggml core libs on Android and add AWS CLI to PATH on self-hosted linux

Two independent CI fixes for the VLA addon:

1. Android mobile integration tests were failing because the prebuild
   shipped only backend shared libs (libqvac-ggml-vulkan.so,
   libqvac-ggml-cpu-*.so, libqvac-ggml-opencl.so) and the addon .bare
   itself. qvac-fabric builds ggml with GGML_BACKEND_DL=ON on Android,
   which makes ggml::ggml and ggml::ggml-base shared libraries too, so
   without them the addon's dlopen fails with unresolved ggml_* symbols.
   Install them alongside the backend libs when GGML_BACKEND_DL is set.

2. linux-x64 integration tests were failing on the self-hosted
   ai-run-linux-gpu runner because AWS CLI v2 installs to
   /usr/local/bin/aws but that directory is not on PATH for subsequent
   steps. Append it to $GITHUB_PATH so later steps (aws s3 sync, etc.)
   can resolve the binary. Also simplified the install block to early-
   exit when aws is already present.

* fix[notask]: VLA Android ggml backend-DL compat + linux AWS CLI perms

Two fixes for remaining tmp-vla CI failures:

1. Android addon failed to dlopen the .bare because qvac-fabric builds
   ggml with GGML_BACKEND_DL=ON, which keeps the core ggml_backend_*
   registry symbols in the addon but puts `ggml_backend_cpu_init` in the
   separately-loaded CPU backend .so. Switch to the device-registry API
   (`ggml_backend_dev_by_type` + `ggml_backend_dev_init`) so the CPU
   backend is obtained from whichever backend was loaded at runtime via
   `ggml_backend_load_all_from_path`. Also revert the CMakeLists hack
   that shipped ggml::ggml / ggml::ggml-base alongside the addon — those
   ship as static .a under this vcpkg triplet and are useless at dlopen.

2. linux-x64 integration jobs were hitting `aws: Permission denied` on
   the self-hosted `ai-run-linux-gpu` runner because a leftover install
   at /usr/local/bin/aws had mode bits the runner user couldn't execute.
   Add an `[ -x /usr/local/bin/aws ]` early-return path so we reuse a
   good existing install, and `chmod -R a+rX` after any fresh install to
   harden against the same footgun next time.

* fix[notask]: tolerate Vulkan teardown SIGSEGV on ai-run-linux-gpu

The Linux x64 integration matrix runs on two Ubuntu runners: a plain
ubuntu-22.04 (CPU only) and a self-hosted ai-run-linux-gpu (Tesla T4
Vulkan). Tests all pass cleanly on both, but the GPU runner's bare
process exits with SIGSEGV (exit 139) ~0.5s after the final test
completes — inside ggml-vulkan's static-destructor chain interacting
with the NVIDIA Vulkan ICD.

Fixing that upstream is out of scope for this branch, but we still want
GPU coverage in CI. Wrap the `npm run test:integration` invocation so
that exit 139 is tolerated IFF the captured TAP output shows all tests
passed (the `# ok` end marker and the `# tests = N/N pass` summary).
Any other non-zero exit, and any missing TAP pass marker, still fails
the job.

* feat[api]: expose per-stage timings and PyTorch reference assertion in VLA

- VlaModel.run() now returns { actions, stats } where stats carries
  vision_ms, smollm2_compute_ms, smollm2_total_ms, ode_ms, total_ms
  captured during inference. C ABI of smolvla_inference is preserved;
  C++ callers use new smolvla_inference_with_timing.
- Integration test: tolerance-based comparison against a committed
  PyTorch reference (test/integration/assets/pt_actions_libero_fixed.json,
  generated by scripts/generate_reference.py), plus wiring of the shared
  performance reporter (vla addon type). Uploads perf-report.json as
  a per-platform artifact in the integration-test workflow.

* test: regenerate VLA PyTorch reference at action_dim=7

The committed reference was generated at action_dim=6 but the current
smolvla-libero-f32-fixed.gguf reports action_dim=7, so the tolerance
asserts were skipped in CI with "shape mismatch (ref=50x6, actual=50x7)".
Regenerated with `generate_reference.py --action-dim 7`; local run now
exercises both new asserts with max|Δ|=0.0009, cos=1.0000.

* feat: bundle SmolVLA GGUF on mobile via presigned S3 URL

Ports the presigned-URL-on-mobile pattern used by qvac-lib-infer-nmtcpp so
the VLA end-to-end test actually runs on AWS Device Farm. Without a GGUF
on device the mobile test skipped, leaving the Step Summary empty.

- scripts/generate-smolvla-presigned-url.sh: resolve the latest date dir
  under s3://MODEL_S3_BUCKET/qvac_models_compiled/vla/smolvla-libero/,
  presign smolvla-libero-f32-fixed.gguf for 6h, export to GITHUB_ENV.
- integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml: OIDC auth to
  eu-central-1, run the presign script, and bundle the URL into
  test/mobile/testAssets/smolvla-urls.json before the addon is packed.
- test/integration/addon.test.js: on mobile, load the URL from
  global.assetPaths, download into global.testDir/vla-models/ (with
  retry/redirect handling and a ≥100MB cache-hit shortcut) and use that
  as the modelPath instead of relying on QVAC_VLA_MODEL.
- package.json: add bare-fetch devDep, same version range as nmtcpp.

* fix: stream SmolVLA GGUF download on mobile via bare-https

The mobile end-to-end test was crashing the Bare runtime at
after-test:runAddonTest with State=1 on both iOS and Android. Root cause
was the _downloadFile helper loading the entire 2.1 GiB GGUF into memory
via bare-fetch + response.arrayBuffer() + Buffer.from(buffer), which
peaked at ~4.5 GB and got OOM-killed by the mobile kernel.

Replace the buffered download with a bare-https streaming pipe:
https.get + fs.createWriteStream + res.on('data', chunk => write(chunk)).
Same pattern Parakeet, TTS/Chatterbox, and Diffusion use for their
multi-GB Device Farm models. Preserves redirect handling (301/302/
307/308), retry+backoff, and adds progress logs every 50 MB. Failed
attempts unlink the partial file before retrying.

Drop bare-fetch from devDependencies — bare-https is a Bare runtime
module, so no new dep is needed.

* ci: align darwin-arm64 integration runner with prebuild SDK

Prebuilds for darwin-arm64 are built on macos-14 (macOS 14 SDK), but the
integration test job was running on macos-15-xlarge. The .bare binary —
including its linked Metal/MPSGraph frameworks — was compiled against the
macOS 14 SDK then loaded on a macOS 15 host. That cross-SDK mismatch is a
plausible cause of the Metal correctness divergence we are seeing on CI
(max|Δ|=1.9789 on CI darwin-arm64 vs max|Δ|=0.0006 on a macos-15.5 M3
Max running the same GGUF locally). Match the runner OS to the prebuild
runner (macos-14-xlarge) so the binary executes on the SDK it was built
against.

Also tighten the end-to-end mobile test: remove the t.comment + t.pass()
graceful-skip branches that silently masked iOS CI failures. On mobile
the presigned S3 URL is bundled at build time, so a fetch/load/inference
failure is now a hard t.fail(), and we assert the downloaded GGUF exists
and is at least 100 MB before proceeding.

* ci: run darwin-arm64 VLA integration on self-hosted mac-mini-m4

GitHub's hosted macos-*-xlarge runners are Apple Virtualization VMs —
their Metal driver reports "Apple Paravirtual device" with
`simdgroup reduction = false` and `simdgroup matrix mul. = false`. ggml
falls back to a scalar Metal path that is ~40x slower and produces
different f32 accumulation, which is what caused the darwin-arm64
correctness failure (max|Δ|=1.97, cos=0.15) and a ~12s vs ~0.3s
inference time versus the same GGUF on a real M3 Max.

macos-14-xlarge has the same paravirt signature (confirmed in
run 24887526194: max|Δ|=1.07 on SDK-aligned runner), so the earlier
fix didn't help.

Switch darwin-arm64 integration to the self-hosted mac-mini-m4 runner
(label: mac-mini-m4-gpu), the same setup the diffusion addon uses for
Metal-backed correctness tests.

* ci: install AWS CLI on darwin-arm64 self-hosted runner

The mac-mini-m4 self-hosted runner doesn't ship with aws CLI preinstalled,
so the "Download SmolVLA model from S3" step fails with
`aws: command not found` (run 24888672009, job 72877826352). GHA's Linux
matrix entry had an idempotent aws install; darwin had none. Add the
equivalent macOS step that checks PATH, then /usr/local/bin/aws, then
installs via the official AWSCLIV2.pkg installer. Scoped to darwin-arm64
since darwin-x64 runs on a GHA-hosted Intel Mac that already has aws.

* ci: install AWS CLI user-local on mac-mini-m4 (no sudo)

The self-hosted mac-mini-m4-gpu runner doesn't have passwordless sudo,
so `sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /` fails with
`sudo: a terminal is required to read the password` (run 24889823710,
job 72880523559).

Pivot to a user-local install: `pkgutil --expand-full` unpacks the
official pkg without sudo, and the payload at
`aws-cli.pkg/Payload/aws-cli/aws` is a real Mach-O universal binary
(verified: aws-cli/2.34.36 runs standalone from that path). Move it
to `$HOME/.local/aws-cli` and add that dir to `$GITHUB_PATH`.

Also widen the preflight check to pick up `/opt/homebrew/bin/aws` and
the user-local path, so the step is a no-op on subsequent runs.

* test: fix mobile model download — bare-https has no .get()

Mobile Device Farm runs were failing at test 4 (`end-to-end inference
runs (needs GGUF)`) with `[vla-model] download failed after 3 attempts:
https.get is not a function` on iPhone 16 Pro / 16e / 17 and Pixel 9 Pro /
Galaxy S25 Ultra (run 24891028803).

Root cause: `bare-https` only exports `.request()` — there is no
Node-compatible `.get()`. Switch to the same pattern
`qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed/test/integration/utils.js` uses:
`https.request(url, cb)` followed by an explicit `req.end()`, since
`.request()` returns a writable that must be closed before the request
is actually sent.

t.fail() hardening surfaced this correctly — desktop remains green
(real M4 Metal: max|Δ|=0.0006, cos=1.0000).

* test: fix mobile VLA download crash — use response.pipe(file)

Mobile Device Farm runs were still failing after the https.get→request fix.
Android (Pixel 9 Pro) crashed at 50MB / 2.4% of the 2.2GB download with
SIGABRT on the mqt_v_js thread inside libbare-kit.so; iOS exhibited the
same APP CRASHED pattern (run 24899187856, job 72913667435).

Root cause: the download was using `res.on('data', chunk =>
writeStream.write(chunk))` with no backpressure — V8 + file stream
queue grew until the JS bridge aborted. `qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed`
downloads with `response.pipe(file)`, which applies backpressure
automatically. Switch to the same pattern, plus the full safeResolve/
safeReject error hygiene (destroy file + unlink on error, follow
redirects cleanly).

Progress logging is preserved (`res.on('data')` is kept for byte
counting only; the pipe does the actual writing).

Desktop remained green through both prior fix attempts (real M4 Metal:
max|Δ|=0.0006, cos=1.0000) — this only affects the mobile fetch path.

* test: raise mobile GGUF e2e test timeout to 20 min

The backpressure fix (6021b43b, res.pipe(file)) successfully resolved the
50MB SIGABRT on Android — download now progresses past 50MB cleanly
(logcat: [vla-model] progress: 50MB (2.4%) at 18:07:10 then keeps going
with no crash in libbare-kit.so).

New failure mode surfaced: brittle's default 30-second per-test timeout
fires before a 2.2GB mobile download + model load + inference can
complete. On Pixel 9 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra the test timed out at
30s → Uncaught (in promise) Error: Test timed out after 30000 ms →
SIGABRT on mqt_v_js as the unhandled rejection propagates through the
bare bridge.

Only the end-to-end inference test needs the long budget — the other
three tests (module exports, empty path rejection, missing GGUF
rejection) stay at 30s. 20 min is conservative for:
  - 2.2GB HTTPS download over mobile carrier (5-10 min)
  - SmolVLA model load (vision 12L + text 32L + expert 32L, ~1 min)
  - Vision x2 + SmolLM2 prefix + 10-step ODE (~15s on CPU/Vulkan)
  - Headroom for Device Farm variability

Desktop is unaffected: it uses QVAC_VLA_MODEL from a pre-staged path
and finishes in ~15 sec (max|Δ|=0.0006 on M4 Metal, cos=1.0000).

* fix: mmap+host_ptr GGUF load to fix iOS Metal alloc crash

Mobile run 24905749242 (commit 8bdc077e) confirmed all download/timeout
fixes worked: Pixel 9 Pro reaches `runAddonTest passed (4/4)`. Two new
unrelated bugs surfaced; this fixes the iOS one.

iOS root cause
On iPhone 16 Pro / 16e / 17, every load attempt crashed at model load
with EXC_BAD_ACCESS in `ggml_metal_buffer_is_shared` at NULL+0x10. The
faulting stack:

  ggml_metal_buffer_is_shared
  ggml_backend_metal_buffer_type_shared_alloc_buffer
  alloc_tensor_range
  ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft
  smolvla_load_model+51156

`smolvla_load_model` was hand-rolling a load path that did:
  1. gguf_init_from_file(no_alloc=false) — heap-allocate full 2.2 GB on CPU
  2. ggml_init(no_alloc=true) — duplicate context for GPU
  3. ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors() — single 2.2 GB Metal shared-mode
     allocation, which iOS Metal cannot service. The internal
     allocator returned NULL, then dereffed it.

Why the LLM and diffusion addons don't hit this on iOS
Both delegate model loading to a library (llama_load_model_from_file in
qvac-fabric, new_sd_ctx in stable-diffusion-cpp) that uses the
ggml_backend_dev_buffer_from_host_ptr() path on devices reporting
`caps.buffer_from_host_ptr=true` (Apple Metal, CPU). That path wraps an
mmap'd region in a backend buffer and the Metal backend internally
slices it into per-tensor sub-buffers each ≤ max_tensor_size — no
giant single shared-mode allocation.

Fix — mirror llama-model.cpp:6648 create_backend_buffers
- gguf_init_from_file(no_alloc=true): metadata only (~few MB), no 2.2 GB
  heap copy.
- Probe device caps (buffer_from_host_ptr, is_default_buft).
- FAST PATH (Apple Metal, CPU): mmap the GGUF file with PROT_READ |
  MAP_PRIVATE; call ggml_backend_dev_buffer_from_host_ptr() with
  ggml_get_max_tensor_size(ctx) as the slicer hint; wire each tensor
  to its mmap-relative position via ggml_backend_tensor_alloc().
  Zero-copy: process memory stays around tensor metadata + lazily-paged
  mmap, no second allocation.
- FALLBACK (Vulkan / Android, Windows, no-host-ptr device): allocate
  via ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft() then read from disk
  with fseek/fread and upload via ggml_backend_tensor_set(). Same path
  as before but without the duplicate-context dance, and emits a clear
  failure message if the alloc returns NULL.
- Replace single `buf_w` with `std::vector<ggml_backend_buffer_t>
  bufs_w` (Metal will create multiple sub-buffers; CPU/Vulkan keep one).
- Track mmap_addr/mmap_size on the model and munmap in
  smolvla_free_model AFTER backend buffers are released.
- Mirror diffusion's CMake: define GGML_BACKEND_DL on Android so the
  addon's TUs see the same flag the qvac-fabric ggml port was built
  with.

The previous duplicate-context-+-remap-pointers code is removed
entirely. Tensors stay in the single ctx_data, and either the mmap or
alloc+copy path populates their data pointers in place.

Validation
Linux desktop (Vulkan device probed but CPU path engaged):
  - 4/4 integration tests pass, 23/23 asserts pass
  - alloc+copy fallback exercised: total weights 2127.2 MB, 739 tensors
  - Quality vs PyTorch HuggingFaceVLA/smolvla_libero:
      max|Δ|=0.0009, mean|Δ|=0.00003, cos=1.0000 (350 values)
    matches the prior baseline (max|Δ|=0.0006 on M4 Metal).
  - 2/2 C++ unit tests pass.

The mmap path needs Device Farm iOS to validate end-to-end; the
fallback is exercised on every desktop run today.

* fix: use 64-bit fseek for >2GB GGUF read on Windows + 32-bit POSIX

Win32 integration test in run 24980777510 (commit 46c55b30) failed at:
  smolvla_load_model: failed to read tensor 'v.enc.blk.7.ffn_down.bias'
  at offset 2149428256

Root cause: the fallback alloc+copy path used fseek() with a (long)
cast on the offset. On Windows long is 32-bit (LLP64), so any offset
above 2^31-1 (≈2.15 GB) silently truncates. The smolvla GGUF is
~2.13 GB of weight data, so tensors past the ~2 GB mark cannot be
seeked to. Same trap exists on 32-bit POSIX targets where off_t
defaults to 32-bit unless _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.

Fix:
- Define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 at the top of smolvla.cpp before any
  system header so off_t / fseeko / ftello are 64-bit on POSIX.
- In the fallback path use _fseeki64() on Windows and fseeko() on
  POSIX (both 64-bit-clean).
- Add explicit <cstdio>/<cstdint> includes since we now reference
  the 64-bit variants directly.

The mmap fast path (Apple Metal, CPU-with-host-ptr) is unaffected —
it never calls fseek; mmap addresses are pointer-sized.

Validation
- Linux desktop alloc+copy fallback path still passes:
  - 4/4 integration tests, 23/23 asserts
  - 739 tensors, total 2127.2 MB loaded, all tensors past the
    2 GB boundary read correctly
  - Quality vs PyTorch HuggingFaceVLA/smolvla_libero unchanged:
    max|Δ|=0.0009, mean|Δ|=0.00003, cos=1.0000 (350 values)

Win32 needs a CI roundtrip to confirm the fix end-to-end.

* refactor[bc]: align qvac-lib-infer-vla with canonical addon shape

- index.js: replace synchronous VlaModel(ggufPath) with the canonical
  constructor ({ files, config, logger, opts }) and add load / run / unload /
  pause / cancel / getState built on @qvac/infer-base's createJobHandler +
  exclusiveRunQueue and @qvac/logging. run() returns a QvacResponse and the
  underlying synchronous binding is driven through job.start/output/end.
- index.d.ts: update typings to match the new async API.
- package.json: declare @qvac/logging, @qvac/infer-base, bare-fs, bare-path
  runtime deps; add top-level test, coverage:cpp* scripts; rewire
  test:integration to generate test/integration/all.js (and chain
  test:mobile:generate); replace scaffold description with the real one;
  pin cmake-bare to 1.7.5 and bump brittle to ^3.16.5.
- CMakeLists.txt: add ENABLE_COVERAGE / VK_PROFILING options and replace the
  ENV-probe ANDROID_STL block with the canonical option().
- on-merge workflow: rename display name to "On Merge Trigger (Vla)".
- integration tests: switch to the new constructor + await load/run/unload
  flow.

* feat[notask]: scaffold new addons in canonical shape

Update the new-addon skill so a freshly scaffolded addon ships with the
canonical shape used across the monorepo, removing the consistency-fix
round-trip that qvac-lib-infer-vla just had to absorb.

- templates/index.js: replace the synchronous sayHello() wrapper with a
  canonical class. Constructor `({ files, config, logger, opts })` validates
  `files.model` like every other addon; lifecycle is `load` / `run` / `unload`
  / `pause` / `cancel` / `getState`; `run()` returns a `QvacResponse` driven
  through `createJobHandler` + `exclusiveRunQueue` from `@qvac/infer-base`,
  with logging via `@qvac/logging`. The hello-world `binding.sayHello()` call
  is driven inline so synchronous backends still flow through the standard
  job interface.
- templates/index.d.ts: typings updated to match the new async surface.
- templates/package.json: declare the canonical runtime deps
  (`@qvac/infer-base`, `@qvac/logging`, `bare-fs`, `bare-path`); add
  top-level `npm test`, `coverage:cpp:*` scripts; rewire `test:integration`
  through `test:integration:generate` (which also chains
  `test:mobile:generate`); pin `cmake-bare` to exact `1.7.5` and bump
  `brittle` to `^3.16.5` to match `qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm`. The
  backend-specific deps placeholder is renamed `BACKEND_NPM_DEPS` and is
  appended inside the canonical dependencies block (with a leading comma).
- templates/CMakeLists.txt: add `option(ANDROID_STL ...)`,
  `option(ENABLE_COVERAGE ...)`, `option(VK_PROFILING ...)` so the
  prebuild workflow's `vk-profiling` input and the `coverage:cpp` scripts
  actually reach CMake.
- templates/test/integration/addon.test.js: switch to the new constructor
  + await load/run/unload flow; add a constructor-validation test.
- SKILL.md: document the canonical class shape contract, update the
  substitution table for `BACKEND_NPM_DEPS`, expand the verification step
  to include `npm test`, and update the next-step hint so the developer
  preserves the constructor signature and lifecycle when filling in the
  real model logic.

* Revert "feat[notask]: scaffold new addons in canonical shape"

This reverts commit 8f84f1c1a56dd0c731ee4142b5253b66b3f44a55.

* fix: address VLA review feedback — JS/CI consistency, correctness, perf

Consistency

- package.json: add `build:pack` and `mobile:copy-prebuilds` scripts so the
  mobile workflow stops falling back to its inline `npm pack` and warning
  about missing prebuild fan-out.
- integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml: rename the Device Farm log
  artifact from `devicefarm-logs-llamacpp-embed-` to `devicefarm-logs-vla-`
  and pin `actions/upload-artifact` to the canonical SHA used elsewhere in
  the repo. Document that the `_LLAMACPP_EMBED` Device Farm secrets are
  intentionally shared (no dedicated `_VLA` secrets are provisioned yet).

Correctness

- index.js: clear `_hasActiveResponse` synchronously on both the success
  and failure paths. Previously the catch re-threw before the trailing
  `.finally(...)` cleanup wired up, so a native-side inference error left
  the model permanently `RUN_BUSY` until `unload()`. The success path's
  cleanup ran one microtask late, leaving a window where chained `run()`
  calls could observe the stale flag.
- index.js: `pickPrimaryGgufPath` now matches `-0*1-of-N.gguf` instead of
  any shard index, so multi-shard models always pick shard 1 regardless of
  the input array order.
- test/integration/addon.test.js: drain the redirect / non-2xx response
  body via `res.resume()` so `bare-https` releases the underlying socket
  before we follow the redirect or fail.

Performance

- addon.js: rewrite `preprocessImage` to do bilinear resize, letterbox-pad
  and the [0,1]→[-1,1] shift in a single pass over the output buffer. Drops
  the `src` and `resized` intermediates (3 × 3 MB allocations → 1) and
  hoists the per-output-pixel coordinates out of the channel loop so all
  three channels share one set of weights. Adds an optional `opts.scale`
  override so callers that already know the pixel range skip the
  256-element scan in `detectScale`.
- test/integration/addon.test.js: replace the per-chunk float division +
  `toFixed` percentage compare in `_streamDownload`'s `'data'` handler
  with a byte-threshold check; the 2.2 GB GGUF download no longer pays
  per-chunk floating-point overhead just to gate a log every 50 MB.

* fix: address VLA review feedback — C++ correctness + perf

Correctness

- AddonJs.hpp: introduce a `VlaHandle` indirection wrapper so an explicit
  `destroyVlaModel` can null out the inner `VlaModel*` while the GC
  finalizer still owns the heap-allocated wrapper. Previously the eager
  `delete` in `destroyVlaModel` left a dangling pointer in the JS external
  slot that the GC finalizer would then re-`delete` (use-after-free /
  double-free). `unwrap` now throws when the model has been destroyed
  rather than dereferencing a freed pointer.
- smolvla.cpp (mmap fast path): reject the host-ptr buffer path when
  `data_offset >= file_size` (would underflow `tensor_data_size` to a
  huge `size_t`) or when `st.st_size > SIZE_MAX` (would truncate the
  mapping length on 32-bit targets where the GGUF won't fit anyway).
  Falls through to the alloc+copy path with a clearer diagnostic.

Performance

- AddonJs.hpp / AddonCpp.hpp: switch the `runVlaModel` JS→C++ boundary to
  zero-copy. `typedArrayPtr<T>()` returns the underlying ArrayBuffer
  pointer + length via `js_get_typedarray_info` directly; `VlaModel::run`
  now takes raw `const T*` + lengths instead of `std::vector` copies.
  Drops one `std::vector<float>` copy per image (~3 MB each at
  3×512×512 f32) plus state/tokens/noise copies on every inference call.
  The mask still copies into a small `bool` buffer because the inference
  signature requires `const bool*`; the copy is 48 bytes so it's not
  worth restructuring smolvla_inference_with_timing's ABI.
- smolvla.cpp (ODE loop): hoist the per-step `te_single` allocation out
  of the loop and replace the 50-iteration `memcpy` broadcast with a
  doubling pattern (~7 memcpy calls instead of 50). Drop the redundant
  per-step KV cache re-upload — the KV inputs are uploaded once before
  the loop via `ggml_set_input`, and `ggml_backend_sched` preserves
  input-tagged tensors between `ggml_backend_sched_graph_compute` calls
  while the scheduler is not reset.

Not addressed in this commit

- The post-sg2 KV mini-graph re-extraction (16 separate per-layer
  graphs after the main SmolLM2 forward). Eliminating this requires
  pinning the K/V output tensors to a host-allocated CPU buffer so
  gallocr cannot overwrite them between compute calls — a deeper
  graph-allocator restructure that needs end-to-end validation against
  the PyTorch reference assertion. Tracking as a follow-up; the perf
  win there is large (roughly 2× SmolLM2 stage cost).

* fix: guard te_single broadcast against chunk_size=0

The doubling-pattern memcpy in the ODE loop unconditionally copied one
row of te_single before checking chunk_size. With chunk_size == 0 the
te_expanded buffer is empty and that initial memcpy would overflow.
The pre-existing per-step loop didn't have this hazard because the
for-loop simply didn't run.

In production chunk_size is always 50, but adding the guard keeps the
fast path defensive.

* feat: gate VLA GPU backend selection on Adreno < 800

Mirrors lib-infer-diffusion / qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm: when the loaded
ggml plugins expose an Adreno GPU below the 800 series, fall back to the
CPU backend instead of `ggml_backend_dev_init`-ing it. The Qualcomm
OpenCL ICD on Adreno < 800 has incomplete OpenCL 3.0 support, broken
kernel compilation for several ggml ops, and shared-memory OOMs;
Vulkan on those generations also has driver issues that misbehave on
some ggml ops. Older Snapdragon devices that get added to the Device
Farm pool will now run on CPU rather than crashing on `init`.

Adds:
- `addon/src/utils/BackendSelection.{hpp,cpp}` with
  `parseAdrenoModel(description)` and `pickBestGpuDevice()`. Pure logic,
  testable without the JS bridge.
- `test/unit/test_backend_selection.cpp` exercising the Adreno parser
  on the description shapes ggml emits ("Adreno (TM) 830", "Adreno 740",
  case variations, non-Adreno).
- `smolvla_load_model` now uses `pickBestGpuDevice()` instead of
  `ggml_backend_dev_by_type(GPU)`, so Adreno < 800 falls through to
  the CPU init below.

Tests: 7/7 C++ unit (was 2), 6/6 JS unit, 4/4 integration; lint clean.

* feat: tag VLA perf-report rows with execution provider and ship a
       dedicated mobile perf artifact

Without these, the Adreno < 800 gate that just landed has no observable
signature in CI: a Samsung S22/S23 falling from Vulkan to CPU shows up
only as a 5–20× total_ms increase in the perf-report tables, with no
column saying *why*. You'd have to scrape stderr to attribute the
regression. This change closes both gaps.

(a) Backend-name plumbing

- `AddonCpp.hpp::VlaModel::backendName()` returns the ggml backend name
  ("CPU", "Vulkan", "OpenCL", "Metal", …) via `ggml_backend_name(...)`,
  with fallbacks for the unloaded / nameless cases.
- `AddonJs.hpp::getVlaBackendName(handle)` exposes it as a JS string
  binding; `binding.cpp` registers it.
- `index.js`: `_load()` reads `binding.getVlaBackendName(this._handle)`
  and stashes it in `this._backendName`; `get backendName()` exposes it;
  `unload()` clears it.
- `index.d.ts`: documented as `readonly backendName: string | null`.
- `test/integration/addon.test.js`: passes the value as
  `execution_provider` to `_perfReporter.record(...)`. Step Summary
  tables (and the JSON artifact) now show one of `CPU`/`Vulkan`/
  `OpenCL`/`Metal`/`unknown` per row, so a Vulkan→CPU regression is
  immediately visible.

(b) Dedicated mobile perf artifact

`integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml` already uploaded
`devicefarm-logs-vla-…` containing everything Device Farm produced, but
the perf-report was buried in there as either a file in
customer-artifacts or a `[PERF_REPORT_*]` marker run on stdout. Added a
post-download step that:

- Walks the downloaded `devicefarm-logs/<platform>` tree.
- First tries to find `perf-report.json` shipped directly as a Device
  Farm file artifact (the test writes it to writable paths on Android
  / iOS, which Device Farm packs into customer-artifacts).
- Falls back to single-block `[PERF_REPORT_START]…[PERF_REPORT_END]`
  marker scraping.
- Falls back to chunked `[PERF_CHUNK:id:i:n]…` reassembly (sorts by
  index, validates the resulting JSON parses).
- Writes `mobile-perf/perf-report-<platform>.json` and uploads it as
  artifact `vla-perf-mobile-<platform>` (mirrors the desktop workflow's
  `vla-perf-<platform>-<arch>-<os>` naming for symmetry).
- Emits `::warning::` rather than failing the job when no perf data is
  found, so this never breaks an otherwise-green CI run.

Verified: lint clean, 6/6 JS unit, 4/4 JS integration, 7/7 C++ unit;
workflow YAML parses.

* fix: restore per-step KV cache upload in VLA ODE loop

Earlier perf #4 dropped the per-step ggml_backend_tensor_set for the
KV cache inputs on the assumption that ggml_set_input + the sched
allocator preserves input slots between ggml_backend_sched_graph_compute
calls. That holds for sched-managed multi-backend setups (where Tesla
T4 + Vulkan still produces cos_sim=0.99999 / max|Δ|=0.020 vs the
PyTorch reference), but it breaks two paths that actually run in CI:

  - CPU-only (alloc_staged_simple → ggml_gallocr → graph_compute)
    reuses input slots across compute calls, so steps 1–9 read garbage
    KV.
  - Adreno Vulkan on the Samsung S25 Ultra device farm slot has the
    same effective semantics (Adreno Vulkan driver) and crashed the
    addon test with the same divergence pattern.

Symptom on linux-x64 / linux-arm64 GitHub-hosted runners (CPU backend):
cos_sim = 0.3135 (threshold > 0.9), max|Δ| = 1.65 (threshold < 0.25).

Restoring the per-step upload unconditionally trades ~80 MB of H2D
traffic per inference on Vulkan-sched setups for correctness on every
backend. A conditional restore (skip on sched paths) would recover
that perf, but the branch isn't worth the correctness risk in this
PR.

* test: pin bare-tls/bare-https to 2.x for VLA mobile tests

bare-tls@3.0.0 (published 2026-04-28) flips on default certificate
verification with the commit "Load default trust store and reject
untrusted certificates by default", and bare-https@3.0.0 (same day)
widens its dep from bare-tls@^2.0.0 to ^3.0.0. With no populated
trust store inside the Bare Android/iOS runtime, every TLS handshake
to the SmolVLA presigned S3 URL fails:

  [vla-model] downloading: https://tether-ai-dev.s3.eu-central-1...
  [vla-model] retry 1/2 after 500ms (last: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: Handshake failed)
  not ok 1 - mobile model fetch failed
  runAddonTest: FAIL (3/4 passed)

Confirmed across both Pixel 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra on
runs 25066695862 and 25074966624. Same root cause would hit any
addon whose mobile suite installs after 2026-04-28; NMTCPP and
Parakeet's last green runs predate the publish.

Pin both packages to the highest published 2.x (2.2.3 / 2.1.3) via
npm overrides until upstream ships a CA-bundle-aware bare-tls. If
the npm install layer is what bare-pack resolves at app-build time,
this restores the previous (non-validating) behavior and unblocks
mobile CI; if BareKit's baked-in bare-tls wins instead, we'll see
the same handshake error and need a runtime-level fix.

* Revert "test: pin bare-tls/bare-https to 2.x for VLA mobile tests"

The override block placed in this addon's package.json had no effect
on the failing mobile run (25092791397 logcat shows the same
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED). The reason is that bare-link / bare-pack
both run from tetherto/qvac-test-addon-mobile's node_modules at
app-build time, and npm's `overrides` only apply in the root project
of `npm install` — when this addon is installed transitively from
that repo, the overrides are silently dropped.

The fix lives in tetherto/qvac-test-addon-mobile#38 instead. Reverting
here to keep dead config out of the addon.

* refactor: rename packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla -> packages/vla

Match the directory name to the npm package name (`@qvac/vla`),
mirroring the diffusion-cpp rename done in #1786. The previous
`packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla` carried over from the lib-infer-*
naming era and no longer matched what gets published.

Renamed:
  - packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla/                       -> packages/vla/
  - .github/workflows/on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml               -> on-pr-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/integration-mobile-test-...vla.yml -> integration-mobile-test-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/integration-test-...vla.yml      -> integration-test-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/on-merge-...vla.yml              -> on-merge-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/on-pr-close-...vla.yml           -> on-pr-close-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/prebuilds-...vla.yml             -> prebuilds-vla.yml

`on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml` was the source of yesterday's pull_request_target
mix-up — its content is the VLA workflow but the filename meant
GitHub kept resolving the OCR workflow from main on PR events.
Renaming it to `on-pr-vla.yml` fixes that.

Updated path/slug references inside workflows + package metadata:
  - `packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla` -> `packages/vla`
  - artifact prefix `qvac-lib-infer-vla-` -> `vla-`
  - `package-slug: qvac-lib-infer-vla` -> `vla`
  - `package.json` `repository.directory` + `homepage`
  - `vcpkg.json` top-level `name`
  - perf reporter addon name in `test/integration/addon.test.js`
  - SKILL.md references in `packages/ocr-onnx/.agent/`

Kept (mirroring diffusion-cpp's rename):
  - C++ internal symbols (`BARE_MODULE("qvac-lib-infer-vla", ...)`,
    `add_bare_module(qvac-lib-infer-vla ...)` in CMakeLists). These
    are stable native-binding identifiers, not paths.

* refactor: keep on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml filename until tmp-vla merges to main

Reverting just the `on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml` -> `on-pr-vla.yml` rename
from the previous commit. Reason: GitHub Actions requires
`workflow_dispatch` workflow files to exist on the default branch
to be registered; until tmp-vla lands in main, the new
`on-pr-vla.yml` is unknown to the API and `gh workflow run` 404s.

Keeping the file at the historical `on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml` path on
tmp-vla means:
  - `gh workflow run on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml --ref tmp-vla` continues to
    work (it was the dispatch target throughout this branch).
  - The file's *content* is still the VLA workflow as before; only
    the filename is preserved for dispatch compatibility.

The proper rename to `on-pr-vla.yml` should be a follow-up PR opened
after tmp-vla is merged into main, mirroring the timing diffusion-cpp
used in #1786 (the rename happened on main, where its workflows were
already registered). Other workflow renames in this branch
(integration-test-vla, on-merge-vla, prebuilds-vla, etc.) are kept
because they're consumed via `uses:` from the dispatch workflow, not
dispatched directly — file existence on the default branch isn't
required for those.

* feat: run VLA integration tests on CPU and GPU side-by-side

Add a `backend` matrix dimension to integration-test-vla and
integration-mobile-test-vla so every GPU-equipped runner is
exercised twice — once with the runner's preferred accelerator
(Metal / Vulkan) and once forced onto CPU. Result: a clean
per-platform "GPU vs CPU" delta in the perf-report artifact set
for the same hardware, the same model, the same test vector.

Plumbing:
  - smolvla.cpp: read VLA_FORCE_CPU env var (any non-empty,
    non-"0" value) before vla_backend_selection::pickBestGpuDevice.
    When set, skip GPU pick and fall through to the existing CPU
    init path. One getenv + one if-guard.
  - integration-test-vla.yml: dual rows for ai-run-linux-gpu /
    mac-mini-m4 / ai-run-windows11-gpu (the runners with a real
    GPU). Linux arm64 + Linux x64 hosted + macOS x64 hosted have
    no GPU prebuild; one row each (auto == cpu effectively).
    `VLA_FORCE_CPU` plumbed via env: matrix.backend == 'cpu'.
    perf-report artifact name now includes the backend so both
    rows of the same os land separate files.
  - integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: 4 rows total (Android+iOS
    × auto+cpu). The bundled smolvla-urls.json now carries a
    `forceCpu` flag derived from matrix.backend, since env vars
    don't propagate to BareKit's child process the way they do
    on desktop. devicefarm-logs and vla-perf-mobile artifact
    names include the backend.
  - addon.test.js: when running on mobile, read forceCpu from the
    bundled config and set process.env.VLA_FORCE_CPU before
    VlaModel.load(). The C++ side reads the env identically on
    every platform.

Cost:
  - +5 desktop matrix rows (-> 10 total). Three new GPU runners
    × ~5 min each = ~15 extra runner-minutes per CI cycle.
  - +2 mobile matrix rows (-> 4 total). Doubles Device Farm spend
    for VLA mobile, but VLA mobile only ran one config before so
    this is the first time we'll see CPU vs GPU on phone.

Notable: Pixel 9 Pro's Adreno 730 already falls through to CPU
under `auto` (gated by Adreno < 800 in BackendSelection.cpp), so
its `cpu` row is redundant in practice. Kept for matrix symmetry
and uniform artifact set; can be pruned later if Device Farm
spend matters.

* refactor: run VLA CPU/GPU comparison in one process per runner

Replace the workflow-level `backend: [auto, cpu]` matrix with an
explicit `backend` argument on `VlaModel.load()`. The integration
test now loads + runs the model twice in a single Bare process —
once on the runner's preferred backend (Metal/Vulkan/Adreno/…) and
once forced onto CPU — so each CI runner produces one perf-report
artifact carrying both rows. Halves CI runner-minutes, drops the
duplicated model download/install, and gives a single artifact per
host with a clean side-by-side comparison.

JS surface:
  - `VlaModel.load({ backend: 'auto' | 'cpu' })`. Default `'auto'`.
  - Plumbed into `binding.createVlaModel(ggufPath, backend)` →
    `VlaModel(ggufPath, forceCpu)` → `smolvla_load_model(..., force_cpu)`.

C++:
  - `smolvla_load_model` gains an explicit `bool force_cpu` parameter;
    `pickBestGpuDevice` is skipped when set. The `VLA_FORCE_CPU` env-var
    fallback is removed — the param is the only knob now.

Test:
  - addon.test.js loops `['auto', 'cpu']` inside the same e2e test.
    Each iteration owns its own VlaModel and `unload()`s before the
    next one starts, so memory-constrained mobile devices don't hold
    two copies of the weights at once. Two perf-report rows per
    artifact, distinguished by both `test` name and `execution_provider`.

CI:
  - integration-test-vla.yml drops the `backend` matrix dimension —
    7 rows total instead of 10 (3 GPU runners × 2 + 4 CPU-only × 1).
  - integration-mobile-test-vla.yml drops the dual-row mobile matrix
    (4 → 2). The `forceCpu` field in `smolvla-urls.json` is gone since
    the bundled config no longer needs to communicate the backend choice.
  - Artifact names lose the `-${backend}` suffix.

Verified locally on linux-x64 (Vulkan): auto=2.55s, cpu=10.4s; both
rows quality-clean (cos sim ≈ 1.0 vs PyTorch reference).

* fix: surface VLA mobile perf-report (mirror OCR's working path)

Two pre-existing breakages converged to give us empty
`vla-perf-mobile-*` artifacts on every prior run:

1. addon.test.js's mobile inline reporter only flushed via
   `process.on('exit')`. On Device Farm the BareKit-hosted process is
   torn down before that handler fires, so the
   `[PERF_REPORT_START]…[PERF_REPORT_END]` markers never reach
   logcat / iOS console — and the perf-report.json file is never
   written to the device.
2. The workflow's inline Node extractor only handled clean text. It
   didn't strip the Android logcat line prefix
   (`MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm PID TID …:`) or the BareKit ReactNativeJS
   bridge wrapper (`'[Bare]', '...'`), so even when chunked markers
   *did* land in a log they failed to parse.

Replicate OCR's canonical mobile perf-report path:

- addon.test.js: after each `_perfReporter.record(...)` on mobile,
  call `writeReport()` + `writeToConsole()` immediately, mirroring
  packages/ocr-onnx/test/integration/utils.js. The exit-handler
  flush stays for desktop. Each call is idempotent — overwriting
  the file with N records is fine since the report is cumulative.
- integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: replace the inline Node
  extractor with a call to `scripts/perf-report/extract-from-log.js`
  (the same script OCR mobile uses). It already handles logcat
  prefix stripping, ReactNativeJS bridge unwrapping, JS-string
  `\'` escapes, chunk reassembly, and `schema_version` validation.

Verified locally (linux-x64) that the test still emits the
two-backend perf-report with both rows; quality unchanged.

* fix: render VLA quality Step Summary table correctly

Two bugs in the quality table emitted to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY:

1. The `Max |Δ|` and `Mean |Δ|` column labels contain literal pipe
   characters that markdown parses as column separators, so the
   3-column quality table was rendered as if it had 5 columns. Escape
   the pipes (`\|`) so they render as text.

2. Cosine similarity was rendered with `(v * 100).toFixed(1) + '%'`,
   which collapses any value at or above ~0.99995 to "100.0%" — losing
   the precision that makes the metric useful for spotting regressions.
   Add a `cos-sim` column unit that prints raw `toFixed(8)`
   (e.g. `0.99999999`) so identical-looking near-perfect runs stay
   distinguishable.

Applies to both the desktop reporter (writeStepSummary) and the
mobile render-step-summary script.

* feat: render mobile VLA perf-report into GitHub Step Summary

The mobile job uploaded `vla-perf-mobile-Android` for the first time
on commit f41a0f3c, but nothing was rendering it into the Actions
Step Summary tab — so the per-device CPU-vs-GPU table only showed
up for desktop runners. Wire `scripts/perf-report/render-step-summary.js`
into the mobile workflow so each device's report (Pixel 9 Pro,
Galaxy S25 Ultra, …) emits the same compact markdown table the
desktop reporter writes.

`extract-from-log.js` writes per-device subdirs when Device Farm
runs more than one phone in the pool, so the new step loops over
every `performance-report.json` under `mobile-perf/` and appends a
fresh table per device, matching OCR's mobile pattern.

* feat: optimize VLA inference with op fusion and KV-projection hoist

Three measurable graph-level changes in `build_transformer_layer` and
`build_denoise_step_graph`, validated against the existing PyTorch
reference (`pt_actions_libero_fixed.json`, 350 values):

- **Hoist cross-attn K/V projections out of the ODE loop.** The action
  expert's `k_proj`/`v_proj` against the VLM KV cache only depend on
  inputs that are invariant across the 10 ODE denoise steps. Project
  once after SmolLM2 forward and overwrite `kv_keys_data[i]` /
  `kv_vals_data[i]` for cross-attn layers in place — eliminates 16
  layers x 9 redundant steps = 144 matmul-pairs per inference.
- **Replace `scale -> +mask -> soft_max` triples with `ggml_soft_max_ext`**
  at the 4 live attention sites. Bit-for-bit equivalent, fewer graph
  nodes, helps backends with non-trivial kernel-launch overhead.
- **Replace `silu(gate) * up` with `ggml_swiglu_split`** at the 2 live
  SwiGLU MLP sites.

Final cumulative speed (warm bench, median of iter 2-5, vs baseline tip):

| Backend | total baseline | total final | Delta |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| auto (Vulkan / Intel Iris Xe) | 2345 ms | 2247 ms | -4.2% |
| cpu | 10084 ms | 9921 ms | -1.6% |

ODE inner loop specifically: -6.9% auto, -2.6% cpu - that's where the
cross-attn KV hoist lands. Accuracy unchanged: max|delta|=0.0032 auto /
0.0009 cpu, cos=1.00000.

Also adds:

- `test/bench.js`: warm-bench harness (loads model once, runs N
  inferences, reports per-stage min/med/max). Single-run integration
  timings showed up to 2x variance from system load on this dev box,
  unsuitable for A/B comparison.
- `test/unit/test_flash_attn.cpp`: gtest comparing `ggml_flash_attn_ext`
  against the unfused reference on synthetic Q/K/V at the SmolLM2
  prefill shapes. Documents the **F16-mask + `GGML_PREC_F32` recipe**
  required to call flash-attn correctly (F32 mask is silently accepted
  but produces structured-but-shifted output, cos~0.28). The recipe
  works correctness-wise; it's currently 3x slower than the unfused
  matmul on Intel Iris Xe Vulkan (no matrix cores) but plausibly faster
  on Adreno/Metal. To be re-evaluated on the mobile device farm before
  enabling, ideally gated on `has_matrix_cores`.
- `opt.md`: per-optimization log with implementation, accuracy, speed,
  and the failed/skipped attempts (drop-GQA-repeat broke CPU mul_mat
  broadcast; time-MLP split linears regress on strided weight matmul;
  flash-attn-ext requires F16 mask, see above).

* fix[ci]: address HIGH security findings in vla CI workflows

- prebuilds-vla.yml: drop unconditional `printenv` step that dumped
  AWS_OIDC_ROLE_ARN, NPM_TOKEN, PAT_TOKEN, and other resolved env-var
  secrets to public CI logs.
- integration-test-vla.yml: drop `npm config list` from the run-state
  diagnostics; it printed the just-written .npmrc, leaking the npm and
  GPR _authToken values. Replaced `npm list` with `npm list --depth=0`
  to keep dependency visibility without the dump.
- integration-test-vla.yml, cpp-tests-vla.yml: route ${{ github.token }}
  through a `GH_TOKEN` env var instead of inline shell interpolation in
  `git config` invocations, so it gets standard secret masking and
  doesn't end up in the runner process listing.

* chore: drop opt.md, untrack vla performance-report.json

- opt.md was a 497-line scratch log of the VLA op-fusion / KV-projection
  optimization work. The summary belongs in the PR description, not in
  the repo tree.
- packages/vla/test/results/performance-report.json is regenerated by
  every CI run and uploaded as a workflow artifact; it has no business
  living in source control. Gitignore the directory and stop tracking
  the file (file kept on disk for any local working sessions).

* fix: address review quick-wins for vla addon

Correctness:
- action_dim default is now 7 across the C++ hparams struct, the GGUF
  fallback, and generate_reference.py. The integration test now hard-fails
  on a (chunk_size, action_dim) shape mismatch instead of skipping the
  PyTorch quality gate with a comment, so a regression in either side
  shows up as a failed assertion. Added an explicit hparams unit-test
  assertion for action_dim.
- mmap loader bails out cleanly when ggml_backend_tensor_alloc fails for
  any tensor: it frees the buffer, munmaps the file, and falls through
  to the alloc+copy path instead of leaving partially-wired tensors with
  invalid pointers and pretending success.
- smolvla_inference_with_timing rejects out-of-range n_images, lang_len,
  and state_dim before they feed into n_visual_tokens / prefix_len /
  tensor sizing, where bad values would underflow int math and cause
  out-of-bounds writes during graph build.

Security:
- mmap loader validates every per-tensor (offset, nbytes) against the
  mapped region before wiring, so a crafted GGUF cannot point a tensor
  past the end of the mapping.
- Mobile workflow builds smolvla-urls.json with `jq` so the presigned
  URL cannot break out of its JSON string, and replaces the partial
  `head -c 120` echo (which leaked the bucket host and X-Amz-Credential
  prefix) with a byte-count confirmation.

Performance:
- Precompute the sinusoidal time-embedding period table at load time.
  The per-ODE-step embedding now does 360 multiply / sinf / cosf calls
  instead of paying for 360 powf evaluations per step (~3,600 powf calls
  per inference eliminated). Hint the kernel with MADV_WILLNEED on the
  zero-copy mmap path so first inference doesn't demand-page through
  the 2+ GB GGUF.

Dead code:
- Drop the unused smolvla_rope helper (whose comment claimed RoPE mode 0
  while the body called NEOX), the unused to_bf16_precision helper, and
  the leaky run_graph stub in test_flash_attn.cpp.

* refactor: adopt QvacErrorBase / ERR_CODES pattern in vla addon

Every other inference addon (parakeet, whispercpp, nmtcpp, ocr-onnx,
onnx-tts, llamacpp-llm, …) ships a lib/error.js with a package-specific
QvacErrorBase subclass and a frozen ERR_CODES map registered with
@qvac/error. VLA was the only one still throwing bare Error / TypeError /
RangeError, which prevents callers from branching on err.code and
breaks the localized message registry.

Adds packages/vla/lib/error.js with QvacErrorAddonVla and 9 codes in
the previously-unused 30001..31000 range:

  FAILED_TO_LOAD_WEIGHTS, FAILED_TO_DESTROY, MODEL_NOT_FOUND,
  INVALID_CONFIG, MISSING_REQUIRED_PARAMETER, INVALID_INPUT,
  JOB_ALREADY_RUNNING, INSTANCE_NOT_INITIALIZED, MODEL_UNLOADED.

index.js threads structured errors through the public surface: input
validation in validateRunInput now throws INVALID_INPUT; constructor
files.model checks raise MISSING_REQUIRED_PARAMETER / INVALID_CONFIG;
load() backend validation raises INVALID_CONFIG; binding load failures
are wrapped as FAILED_TO_LOAD_WEIGHTS with `cause` preserving the
underlying error; binding.destroyVlaModel failures during unload now
raise FAILED_TO_DESTROY instead of being swallowed; run-before-load and
run-while-busy raise INSTANCE_NOT_INITIALIZED and JOB_ALREADY_RUNNING;
in-flight jobs cancelled by unload see MODEL_UNLOADED on the failure
side. ERR_CODES and QvacErrorAddonVla are exported alongside VlaModel,
matching the OCR / parakeet pattern.

index.d.ts gains the QvacErrorAddonVla class and ERR_CODES literal-type
map. package.json declares @qvac/error ^0.1.0 as a dependency and adds
lib/ to the published files list.

Existing test assertions on /non-empty array/ and /absolute path/
continue to match the new structured messages — verified by running
test:unit (6/6 pass), test:integration sans GGUF (4/4 pass), and
test:dts.

* test: switch vla integration fixture to vision-Q8-quantized GGUF

Bumps the integration-test model from smolvla-libero-f32-fixed.gguf
(2026-04-21) to smolvla-libero-vision-q8.gguf (2026-04-30) — same
LIBERO checkpoint with Q8_0 quantization on the vision-encoder linear
weights. Cuts vision-stage time roughly in half on Vulkan and ~4× on
CPU (see test/results/perf reports).

Q8 on the vision encoder occasionally flips the gripper dim (action[6],
near-binary in [-1, 1]) at decision boundaries on the synthetic gray
fixture — measured max |Δ| ~0.6 on Vulkan, ~1.2 on CPU. Position /
rotation dims stay tight (mean |Δ| ≈ 0.01). LIBERO closed-loop eval
shows equivalent task success vs the F32 GGUF (60% vs 70% across 30
episodes — within statistical noise). Tolerances loosen to max |Δ| 1.5
to absorb gripper sign flips and cosine >0.95 as the structural sanity
check.

Updates the S3 path in integration-test-vla.yml and the mobile presign
script to match.

* fix[ci]: prevent artifact poisoning in vla integration workflows

CodeQL (rule "Artifact poisoning") flagged 19 alerts on the VLA
workflows: actions/download-artifact was writing directly into the
workspace path (packages/vla/prebuilds, addon/packages/vla/prebuilds),
and subsequent steps (npm install, npm run bundle, npm run build:pack,
xcodebuild, npm run test:integration, …) execute code from that same
workspace. Combined with workflow_dispatch.inputs being user-controlled,
that's a path for a poisoned artifact to land code that then runs with
the workflow's secrets.

Fix mirrors the pattern PR #1728 applied to OCR / parakeet / nmtcpp /
diffusion / etc.: download into a runner.temp staging directory, then
add an explicit copy step to move the contents into the workspace.
CodeQL recognises the explicit cp as a maintainer-controlled boundary
and stops the dataflow trace.

Touches three download-artifact sites:
- integration-test-vla.yml: prebuilds → workspace
- integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: Android prebuilds → workspace
- integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: iOS prebuilds → workspace

* feat: add LIBERO sim eval driver + QVAC HTTP bridge under packages/vla/sim

Drops in a self-contained eval pipeline that scores SmolVLA on LIBERO
through either the QVAC GGUF addon (over HTTP) or the original PyTorch
policy, so the two are directly comparable on the same env seeds and
noise sequence.

Files:
  packages/vla/sim/eval_libero_sim.py    Python entry, --backend {qvac,pytorch}
  packages/vla/sim/qvac_http_policy.py   lerobot SmolVLAPolicy subclass that
                                         routes the forward pass over HTTP
  packages/vla/sim/smolvla_http.py       binary-protocol HTTP client
  packages/vla/sim/server/server.js      Bare HTTP host for @qvac/vla
  packages/vla/sim/server/package.json   server runtime deps
  packages/vla/sim/requirements.txt      pinned Python deps (lerobot, libero,
                                         robosuite, mujoco, etc.)
  packages/vla/sim/README.md             setup + run + compare runbook

Verified end-to-end on libero_spatial (10 tasks x 3 episodes = 30):
  QVAC F32 GGUF (Vulkan): 18/30 = 60.0%
  QVAC Q8 vision (Vulkan): 21/30 = 70.0%
  PyTorch (CUDA):          21/30 = 70.0%

All within the n=30 noise band; Q8-vision matches PyTorch task-for-task on
9/10. lerobot itself is unmodified — the bridge works through its
public make_policy extension point + a Python class swap.

* chore: drop new-addon skill from vla branch

The new-addon skill scaffolding (added in earlier tmp-vla commits) is
unrelated to the SmolVLA addon work in PR #1784 and was being carried
along by accident. Removing it from this branch so the PR diff focuses
on the vla addon and the LIBERO sim eval driver only.

The skill itself can be re-introduced on its own branch / PR if still
wanted.

* chore: drop test_flash_attn.cpp + tighten the comment that referenced it

The attention path uses unfused mul_mat → soft_max_ext → mul_mat. The
flash-attn alternative was ~3× slower per layer on Intel Iris Xe Vulkan
when measured, so we never wired it into the production path. The test
existed only to keep a "side-by-side correctness vs the unfused path"
harness around in case we wanted to re-evaluate flash-attn on Adreno or
Mali later.

Removing 389 lines of test code that exercises a dead path; the pointer
in smolvla.cpp's attention block is rewritten so it captures the
"measured 3× slower on Iris Xe" finding without referring to the
deleted file.

* fix: address security + correctness findings from code review

Security (4):
* sim/server/server.js: cap request bodies at 32 MB (prevents heap-exhaust DoS
  via unbounded POST). Reject early in the data-event handler with
  req.destroy() instead of buffering until oom.
* sim/server/server.js: validate every header field that flows into a typed
  array length (state_dim, n_images, img_w, img_h, n_tokens). Without bounds,
  a crafted client could ask for state_dim=2**30 and allocate gigabytes
  before the C++ side even saw the request. Also bound the JSON header_len
  itself to 64 KB and add a body-truncation check after the per-section reads.
* sim/server/server.js: drop model_path from /info response — it leaked the
  on-disk GGUF location to anything that could reach the port.
* sim/server/server.js: adopt the published @qvac/vla async API
  (`new VlaModel({ files: { model: [...] } })` + `await model.load()` +
  `await model.run(...)`). The previous code used an older sync signature
  that happened to match the version installed on the dev server but does
  not match the API this PR ships, so /predict would 500 on every request
  against a fresh install. Server now boots inside an async IIFE that awaits
  load() before listen() begins accepting connections.

Correctness (3):
* smolvla.cpp: smolvla_create now calls smolvla_free_model() before delete on
  load failure. The struct has no destructor, so the previous `delete model`
  leaked any backend buffers / mmap regions / ggml contexts / backend handles
  that smolvla_load_model had already initialised before failing.
* smolvla.cpp: replace the inline ODE-loop dispatch
  (`sg3.sched ? sched_compute : graph_compute(backend_cpu, ...)`) with the
  shared compute_staged helper. Avoids the foot-gun of hardcoding backend_cpu
  on the fallback branch — if alloc_staged_sched ever returned with
  sched==nullptr on a GPU build, the inline form would silently fire CPU
  compute on GPU-allocated tensors.
* sim/qvac_http_policy.py: surface a clear RuntimeError when the batch has
  no camera images, instead of crashing on `images_chw[-1]` while filling
  dummy frames for empty cameras.

Verified:
* C++ rebuild + integration test: 4/4 tests pass, 41/41 asserts. Quality
  numbers unchanged (Vulkan max|Δ|=0.588 cos=0.997; CPU max|Δ|=1.131
  cos=0.989).

Two reviewer findings were verified as non-issues and intentionally not
fixed: the pos_ids = -1 bug doesn't trigger because n_images>=1 is enforced
upstream (so n_visual_tokens >= 64, so pos >= 64 before the lang loop), and
the GGUF mmap data_offset overflow is already caught by the existing strict
`<` check against st.st_size.

* fix: server.js — use response.await() pattern + opts.stats:true

Two issues introduced by the previous review-fix commit (43f1f875):

1. `model.run()` returns a QvacResponse, not `{ actions, stats }`. The
   destructure was awaiting the call once and pulling `actions`/`stats`
   directly off the response object, but those fields don't exist on
   QvacResponse — they live behind `response.await()`. Result: every POST
   /predict crashed encodeResponse with `Cannot read properties of
   undefined (reading 'buffer')`. Switching to the canonical two-step
   p…
Proletter pushed a commit that referenced this pull request May 24, 2026
Earlier perf #4 dropped the per-step ggml_backend_tensor_set for the
KV cache inputs on the assumption that ggml_set_input + the sched
allocator preserves input slots between ggml_backend_sched_graph_compute
calls. That holds for sched-managed multi-backend setups (where Tesla
T4 + Vulkan still produces cos_sim=0.99999 / max|Δ|=0.020 vs the
PyTorch reference), but it breaks two paths that actually run in CI:

  - CPU-only (alloc_staged_simple → ggml_gallocr → graph_compute)
    reuses input slots across compute calls, so steps 1–9 read garbage
    KV.
  - Adreno Vulkan on the Samsung S25 Ultra device farm slot has the
    same effective semantics (Adreno Vulkan driver) and crashed the
    addon test with the same divergence pattern.

Symptom on linux-x64 / linux-arm64 GitHub-hosted runners (CPU backend):
cos_sim = 0.3135 (threshold > 0.9), max|Δ| = 1.65 (threshold < 0.25).

Restoring the per-step upload unconditionally trades ~80 MB of H2D
traffic per inference on Vulkan-sched setups for correctness on every
backend. A conditional restore (skip on sched paths) would recover
that perf, but the branch isn't worth the correctness risk in this
PR.

…#1983)

* feat: add @qvac/tts-ggml package (Chatterbox English on qvac-tts.cpp)

New Bare addon wrapping the `qvac-tts::qvac-tts` static library (backed
by the `tts-cpp` port added in tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg).  API-compatible
with the Chatterbox engine exposed by `@qvac/tts-onnx` so downstream
consumers can swap backends without touching orchestration code.

## Scope

* First iteration.  Supports Chatterbox **English** only.  Chatterbox
  multilingual, LavaSR enhancer, Supertonic engine, and streaming are
  out of scope and remain in `@qvac/tts-onnx`.  They'll land alongside
  the evolution of qvac-tts.cpp.
* Native backend is the static `qvac-tts` library from the QVAC vcpkg
  registry (`ports/tts-cpp`, baseline `2026-04-21`).  No ONNX Runtime
  dependency.

## JS surface

* `@qvac/tts-ggml` exports `TTSGgml` with the same method shape as
  `ONNXTTS`:  `run` / `runStream` / `runStreaming` / `reload` /
  `unload` / `destroy`.
* `files: { modelDir }` looks for `chatterbox-t3-turbo.gguf` +
  `chatterbox-s3gen.gguf` side-by-side; `files.t3Model` /
  `files.s3genModel` override the defaults.
* Options: `referenceAudio`, `voiceDir` (baked profile), `seed`,
  `nGpuLayers`, `threads`, `outputSampleRate`, plus placeholders for
  the upcoming streaming flags (`streamChunkTokens`,
  `streamFirstChunkTokens`, `cfmSteps`).
* Shared reusable lib code (`lib/textChunker.js`,
  `lib/textStreamAccumulator.js`, `addonLogging.*`) is copied verbatim
  from `@qvac/tts-onnx`.
* New error class `QvacErrorAddonTTSGgml` uses codes **13001–14000**
  to avoid collisions with `@qvac/tts-onnx` (7001–7011) when both
  packages are loaded in the same Bare process.

## Native addon

* `addon/src/model-interface/chatterbox/ChatterboxModel.{hpp,cpp}` —
  `IModel` + `IModelCancel` implementation.  First-iteration strategy:
  assemble argv for `qvac_tts_cli_main` with a scratch `.wav` output
  path, call it synchronously, then parse the resulting 16-bit mono
  PCM wav back into `std::vector<int16_t>` for the JS handler.
  Consequences: every job re-loads the model (~700 ms + inference
  time), no mid-synthesis cancellation, no streaming.  The follow-up
  milestone replaces this with a persistent, struct-based API once
  qvac-tts.cpp exposes one.
* `addon/src/js-interface/{JSAdapter.{hpp,cpp}, binding.cpp}` — JS-to-C++
  config bridging (same string-map pattern as `@qvac/tts-onnx`) and the
  `BARE_MODULE(qvac_tts_ggml, ...)` registration exposing
  `createInstance` / `runJob` / `reload` / `activate` / `cancel` /
  `destroyInstance` / `loadWeights` / `setLogger` / `releaseLogger`.
* `addon/src/addon/AddonJs.hpp` — JS-facing `createInstance` / `runJob`
  / `reload` wrappers that register a `JsAudioOutputHandler` emitting
  `{ outputArray: Int16Array, sampleRate: number }` to JS.

## Build / registry

* `CMakeLists.txt` uses `find_package(qvac-tts-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)`
  and the standard `cmake-bare` + `cmake-vcpkg` scaffolding (shape
  matches `@qvac/transcription-whispercpp`).
* `vcpkg.json` depends on `tts-cpp` (with a `vulkan` feature passthrough)
  plus `qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp`, `qvac-lint-cpp`, and `gtest`.
* `vcpkg-configuration.json` points at tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg.
  NOTE: the baseline pin here is inherited from
  `@qvac/transcription-whispercpp` and **must be bumped** to a commit
  that contains the `tts-cpp` port once that registry PR lands.  A
  follow-up commit will update it.

## Tests & examples

* Integration + unit test files for Chatterbox English are copied
  verbatim from `@qvac/tts-onnx` with only mechanical renames
  (`ONNXTTS` -> `TTSGgml`, `QvacErrorAddonTTS` -> `QvacErrorAddonTTSGgml`,
  `@qvac/tts-onnx/text-chunker` -> `../../lib/textChunker.js`).  Some
  paths in `test/integration/addon.test.js` still import Supertonic /
  LavaSR helpers that don't exist in this package — those test blocks
  will fail fast when the file loads, which is expected until those
  backends get their own ggml packages.
* Examples: `chatterbox-tts.js`, `chatterbox-streaming-tts.js`, plus
  shared `wav-helper.js` + `pcm-chunk-player.js`.

## What's not in this PR (known gaps)

* No docs: README, NOTICE, CHANGELOG, PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE changes
  will land in a single documentation pass once the registry + fork
  commits have merged upstream.
* `vcpkg-configuration.json` baseline needs to point at a
  qvac-registry-vcpkg commit that ships `tts-cpp` (pending the
  registry PR).
* Actual `npm run build` requires the registry and fork commits to be
  on `main` of their respective upstream repos.

* chore: point tts-ggml vcpkg baseline at the tts-cpp-bearing registry commit

Bumps `vcpkg-configuration.json` to GustavoA1604/qvac-registry-vcpkg
at commit 1e2839680b6be8d8ffff889a9c29b966c176098c — the commit that
adds the `tts-cpp` port.  Paired with the `qvac-tts` library already
pinned in the port's `portfile.cmake` (GustavoA1604/chatterbox.cpp
@ 0fe4a521618cc30358040b29d75d4261b31cbb60).

Will be re-pointed at tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg once the registry
PR lands upstream.

* chore: tts-ggml: trim tests + examples to Chatterbox English, restore mobile wrapper

Second pass over @qvac/tts-ggml after the build started passing: prune
everything that only made sense for the ONNX-era multi-engine scope and
adapt the remaining Chatterbox-English bits to the GGUF + file-path
reference-audio contract.  Restores `test/mobile/` so the Android build
has something to point at.

## C++

* `ChatterboxModel.cpp`: the `ArgvBuilder::buildArgv` doc comment
  contained `**/` which closed the block comment early and broke the
  build.  Rewrote as a `//` comment.

## Examples

* `examples/chatterbox-tts.js` — rewrite for v0 contract: single
  `<text>` argv, `files: { modelDir }` pointing at the two GGUFs,
  `referenceAudio` is now a wav **path** (addon passes it to
  `--reference-audio`) instead of a Float32Array.  Drops
  english/multilingual arg and the CHATTERBOX_VARIANT switch that
  picked which `.onnx` files to load.
* Removed `examples/chatterbox-streaming-tts.js` +
  `examples/pcm-chunk-player.js`.  The v0 addon re-loads the model
  per `run()` call — exposing streaming would mislead.  Both come
  back alongside the persistent-engine milestone.
* `package.json`: `npm run example` now passes a default text so it
  runs without extra args.

## Tests

### Kept as-is (engine-agnostic)

* `test/unit/textChunker.test.js`
* `test/mock/{MockedBinding,utils}.js`
* `test/utils/{wav-helper,pcmConcatenator,loader.fake,runWhisper,runTTS}.js`
* `test/reference-audio/jfk.wav`, `test/data/sentences-*.js`

### Mechanical fixes

* `test/unit/tts.error.test.js` — fix error-code assertions to the
  tts-ggml range (`13001–14000`); was still checking the
  `@qvac/tts-onnx` range (`7001–7011`).
* `test/unit/tts-ggml.lifecycle.test.js` — fix stale
  `QvacErrorAddonTTS` import to `QvacErrorAddonTTSGgml`; switch the
  stubbed model to `{ t3Model, s3genModel }` GGUFs and drop the
  non-existent `engine: 'chatterbox'` option.
* `test/unit/tts-ggml.sentence-stream.test.js` — same GGUF/engine
  cleanup.

### Rewritten

* `test/unit/chatterbox.inference.test.js` — drop tests that asserted
  the old ONNX file shape (`tokenizer / speechEncoder / embedTokens /
  conditionalDecoder / languageModel`), the removed `engine` detection
  and the wrong `getModelKey` return value (`'onnx-tts'` -> `'tts-ggml'`).
  New tests cover: `modelDir` derives the two GGUF paths; explicit
  `t3Model` / `s3genModel` override the defaults.  The mocked-binding
  run/reload/cancel flow stays.
* `test/integration/addon.test.js` — fresh, ~180 LoC, Chatterbox-English
  only.  Ensures the GGUFs are present, runs the short sentence set
  through `loadChatterboxTTS` + `runChatterboxTTS[WithSplit]`, and
  (on darwin only) runs a whisper-based WER check via the existing
  `runWhisper` util.  Drops the Chatterbox-multilingual block + every
  Supertonic + LavaSR block that doesn't apply to this package.
* `test/utils/runChatterboxTTS.js` — rewrite for the GGUF contract:
  `files: { modelDir, t3Model, s3genModel }`, `referenceAudio` as a
  file path that falls back to `test/reference-audio/jfk.wav` (or the
  mobile test-asset when `global.assetPaths` is present).  No more
  WAV decode / resample on the JS side.
* `test/utils/downloadModel.js` — trim from 1007 LoC to 280.  Drops
  the Supertonic + LavaSR + Chatterbox-multilingual + Cangjie
  downloaders.  Keeps the shared HTTP/curl infrastructure and
  `ensureWhisperModel` (still used by the integration WER check).
  `ensureChatterboxModels` is now **check-only**: it verifies
  `chatterbox-t3-turbo.gguf` + `chatterbox-s3gen.gguf` exist locally
  and, if missing, prints the exact commands for generating them
  from the qvac-tts.cpp (née chatterbox.cpp) conversion scripts.
  Once the GGUFs land on a canonical HuggingFace repo we'll wire up
  download URLs here.

## Scripts

* `scripts/ensure-chatterbox.js` — simplify to a single invocation
  against `./models/`.  Drops the variant / language matrix that the
  ONNX downloader needed.
* `scripts/ensure-models.js` — now a thin alias to
  `ensure-chatterbox.js`.  Drops the Supertonic + LavaSR orchestration.

## Mobile

* Restored `test/mobile/{integration.auto.cjs, integration-runtime.cjs,
  testAssets/jfk.wav}` so the Android build has a wrapper to point at.
* `package.json`: re-added `test/mobile` to the `files` list.

## Gitignore

* Ignore generated `.clang-format` / `.clang-tidy` / `.valgrind.supp`
  (produced by the top-level `configure_file(...)` calls) and
  `build_*/` dirs (bare-make convention).

## Verified locally

* `npx standard "test/**/*.js" "*.js" "lib/*.js"` — clean.
* `npm run test:unit` — 38/38 pass (105/105 asserts).
* `npm run build && bare examples/chatterbox-tts.js "Hello from qvac tts ggml."`
  produces a 24 kHz wav as expected.

* Add streaming support

* Update ggml backend to use separate ggml repo

* tts-ggml: consume renamed tts-cpp library (2026-04-24#1)

Upstream chatterbox.cpp renamed the package + namespace + target from
qvac-tts to tts-cpp and tightened the library boundary; pick up the
new artefacts here:

- find_package(qvac-tts-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)
    -> find_package(tts-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)
- qvac-tts::qvac-tts  -> tts-cpp::tts-cpp
- qvac_tts::chatterbox -> tts_cpp::chatterbox (engine ptrs, EngineOptions,
  SynthesisResult, forward-decls in ChatterboxModel.hpp)
- #include <qvac-tts/chatterbox/engine.h>
    -> #include <tts-cpp/chatterbox/engine.h>
- Doxygen / inline doc references to the old names refreshed alongside
  the code changes.

vcpkg wiring:
- vcpkg-configuration.json baseline bumped to qvac-registry-vcpkg
  commit bc30b0b (ports/tts-cpp renamed and repointed at
  chatterbox.cpp@f8f9145).
- vcpkg.json tts-cpp constraint bumped to 2026-04-24#1 (the port that
  carries the rename + namespace + install(EXPORT) changes).

Verified with a cold bare-make generate + bare-make build against the
new port, and the addon's existing unit + integration test suites.

* tts-ggml: bump tts-cpp port to 2026-05-07 + registry baseline

Picks up the round-3 review-fix wave landed on the tts-cpp port:

Plus the integrated-port-only round-2 fixes that landed earlier:

  fa0d490  close patches/-deleted regression: TTS_CPP_USE_SYSTEM_GGML
            now defaults ON; bundled-without-patches hard-errors at
            configure time with a pointer at the ggml-speech vcpkg
            port.
  ae34c58  README rewritten for integrated/vcpkg context.
  a2f2dd6  top-level qvac-ext-lib-whisper.cpp README points at the
            tts-cpp/ subtree (alongside parakeet-cpp/).

Public API used by ChatterboxModel (tts_cpp::chatterbox::Engine /
EngineOptions / SynthesisResult / s3gen_preload / s3gen_unload) is
backward-compatible: the new port adds Engine::backend_name(),
MTL-variant fields on EngineOptions (language / cfg_weight / min_p /
exaggeration), and a separate tts_cpp::supertonic::Engine class, but
nothing this consumer was already calling has changed.

      registry fork.

Smoke-test plan: after running `vcpkg install` against the new
baseline, the tts-cpp port's vcpkg_from_github resolves at
GustavoA1604/qvac-ext-lib-whisper.cpp@e673182 (tts-cpp branch) until the
upstream PR merges.  ChatterboxModel should build and synthesize
identically; expanding to Multilingual + Supertonic flows is the
follow-up commit on the package side.

* tts-ggml: drop clang-19 pin in linux-clang toolchain

The toolchain hardcoded `clang-19` / `clang++-19` (versioned binary
names) since the package's first commit (0a2c978).  Linux CI hadn't
exercised this path before — the new on-pr-tts-ggml.yml -> integration
matrix is the first time it does, and it fails on every linux runner
(ai-run-ubuntu-22.04, ai-run-linux-gpu, ubuntu-24.04-arm) at vcpkg's
"detect_compiler" step because none of the GH-hosted images ship a
`clang-19` symlink:

  Detecting compiler hash for triplet x64-linux...
  error: while detecting compiler information:
  ...
  CMake Error at scripts/cmake/vcpkg_execute_required_process.cmake:127
  (message): Command failed: ... -DVCPKG_CHAINLOAD_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=
  .../tts-ggml/vcpkg/triplets/../toolchains/linux-clang.cmake ...

Match parakeet's working pattern (qvac-lib-infer-parakeet/vcpkg/
toolchains/linux-clang.cmake): use unversioned `clang` / `clang++` so
each runner picks up its image's default clang (clang-15 on
ubuntu-22.04, clang-18 on ubuntu-24.04, whatever the AI runners ship).
The `-stdlib=libc++` flag added by x64-linux.cmake / arm64-linux.cmake
is honoured by every reasonable clang version.

* Add C++ tests and coverage; fix linux build

* tts-ggml: address PR review feedback

Bundle of correctness, hygiene, and CI-doc fixes from the recent code
review.  Each item below has its own paragraph in the diff comments.

- #1 files-array: add test/utils/runSupertonicTTS.js + test/data/sentences-{medium,long}.js
  to package.json so consumers running the integration tests from the
  npm tarball don't crash with `Cannot find module ../utils/runSupertonicTTS`.
- #2 deps: move @qvac/langdetect-text from runtime dependencies to
  devDependencies (it's only referenced from examples/, which aren't in
  the published files list).
- #3 race-fix: ChatterboxModel::process()'s post-synthesize streaming
  detection used to read engine_->options() outside engineMu_, racing
  with reload().  synthesize() now returns SynthesizeResult { pcm,
  wasStreaming } where wasStreaming is captured under the engine lock
  against the local shared_ptr so process() doesn't have to touch
  engine_ again.
- #4 deferred-load: ChatterboxModel + SupertonicModel constructors
  used to call load() eagerly, so JsInterface::createInstance() (sync
  on the JS thread) was parsing ~370 MB of GGUF on the Bare event loop.
  Both models now implement IModelAsyncLoad: constructors validate +
  return; the actual load is deferred to waitForLoadInitialization(),
  which the new addon_js::activate wraps inside JsAsyncTask::run so the
  parse runs on a worker thread.  binding.cpp registers
  addon_js::activate in place of JsInterface::activate; tts.js now
  awaits the resulting promise.
- #5 dead code: drop _resolvePath (unused), drop the (void)inputObj
  read in AddonJs.hpp::runJob, document FAILED_TO_PAUSE /
  FAILED_TO_STOP / JOB_ALREADY_RUNNING in lib/error.js as reserved-but-
  not-thrown so future maintainers don't delete them blindly (the unit
  suite asserts the values).
- #6 cancel-reset: SupertonicModel grew Chatterbox's cancelRequested_
  reset pattern: cancel() sets it, synthesize() fast-fails on it,
  process() resets it per call so a stale cancel doesn't poison the
  next run.
- #7 useGPU comment: explain in JSAdapter::buildChatterboxConfig that
  the JS layer is the source of truth for useGPU and nGpuLayers wins
  downstream; left a pointer to std::optional<bool> if a future caller
  ever needs to distinguish "absent" from "explicit false".
- #10 fork pointers: README.md and test/utils/downloadModel.js no
  longer point at GustavoA1604/chatterbox.cpp; both reference the
  upstream tetherto/qvac-ext-lib-whisper.cpp/tts-cpp tree now.
- #9 doc: integration-mobile-test-tts-ggml.yml gained a header comment
  on the build-and-test job documenting that continue-on-error is the
  early-days landing posture (merge-guard treats success || skipped as
  pass), with a pointer to tighten once Device Farm provisioning is
  stable.

Nits:
- 'use strict' added to addonLogging.js (matches every other .js).
- node-vs-bare runtime banners on
  scripts/{generate,validate}-mobile-integration-tests.js.
- ttsOutputDebugString no longer JSON.stringify's the full PCM
  Int16Array on every chunk-streaming event; emits a tiny summary
  ({sampleRate, chunkIndex, isLast, sentenceChunk, outputArrayLen})
  instead.

Tests: 35 passing (33 -> 35; two new assertions cover the deferred-load
contract); 4 skipped real-GGUF tests behind the existing
QVAC_TEST_CHATTERBOX_T3_GGUF / QVAC_TEST_CHATTERBOX_S3GEN_GGUF /
QVAC_TEST_SUPERTONIC_GGUF env-var gates.  Lint clean.

* tts-ggml: unblock CI integration tests on every desktop runner

Four independent failures, one per platform:

1. linux-x64 / linux-arm64: addon load crashed at
   `libomp.so.5: cannot open shared object file`.  tts-cpp's binary is
   built with clang under the linux-clang toolchain and links against
   libomp (LLVM OpenMP runtime); only `libgomp1` (GNU OpenMP) was being
   apt-installed.  Add `libomp5` so libomp.so.5 is on the loader path.

2. darwin-arm64: convert-models.sh aborted at line 200 with
   `hf_args[@]: unbound variable`.  macOS's system bash is 3.2 which
   treats `"${arr[@]}"` as nounset access when the array is empty under
   `set -u`; with HF_TOKEN unset we hit it on every fresh runner.  Use
   the `${arr[@]+"${arr[@]}"}` idiom (defined-or-nothing) at all six
   call sites and add a header comment so the next maintainer doesn't
   accidentally regress.

3. darwin-x64: pip install bombed building `llvmlite` from source
   because the macos-15-large runner has no LLVM 15 development
   install.  Root cause: librosa pulls in numba 0.65+, which stopped
   shipping darwin-x86_64 wheels for Python 3.12.  Pin Python to 3.11
   in the Setup Python step; 3.11 has prebuilt wheels for the entire
   numba/llvmlite/librosa stack on darwin-x64 and is fine for every
   other converter dependency.

4. windows-2022: ChatterboxModel::load threw
   `vk::createInstance: ErrorIncompatibleDriver`.  Root cause: the
   addon's index.js::_validateConfig defaults `useGPU = true` when
   neither useGPU nor nGpuLayers is specified, so the test ran with
   n_gpu_layers=99 -> ggml_backend_vk_init -> vk::createInstance ->
   ErrorIncompatibleDriver on the runner's no-Vulkan-driver image.
   runChatterboxTTS.js now honours `process.env.NO_GPU === 'true'`
   (set on the no-GPU matrix entries) and forces useGPU=false on
   exactly those runners; the other test runners (chatterbox-mtl,
   gpu-smoke, multiple-runs) already had this guard.

Also documents the `mesa-vulkan-drivers` apt package (already pulled
in) as the software ICD that lets the Vulkan-built prebuild's runtime
backend probe enumerate at least one device on linux runners.

* tts-ggml: drop Chatterbox from mobile bundle (Metro V8 string limit)

Mobile build failed at `:app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets` with:

  SyntaxError: assets/testAssets/chatterbox-s3gen.gguf:
    Cannot create a string longer than 0x1fffffe8 characters

Root cause: Metro's bundler reads every asset under
`test/mobile/testAssets/` via `Buffer.toString()`.  V8's max string
length is 0x1fffffe8 (~512 MiB).  chatterbox-s3gen.gguf is ~1 GiB even
with --quant q4_0 because the s3gen converter only quantizes attention
weights and leaves the bulk of the s3gen graph in fp16 ("0/291 weight
tensors quantized" in the converter log).

Fix: bundle ONLY supertonic.gguf (~125 MiB, comfortably under the
limit) on mobile.  Mobile Chatterbox tests degrade cleanly to
`t.pass('Skipped: Chatterbox GGUFs not available')` via the existing
`ensureChatterboxModels` helper -- it already returns
{ success: false } when the GGUFs aren't on disk.

Cache key bumped to v2 so existing v1 cache entries (which include
the chatterbox files) are evicted on the next run.

Bundling Chatterbox on mobile requires either:
  - adding `gguf` to qvac-test-addon-mobile's metro `assetExts` so the
    JS-string read is skipped (then the s3gen file can flow through the
    bundle as a raw asset), or
  - pushing the chatterbox GGUFs to the device via `adb push` outside
    the bundle and surfacing the path through downloadModel.js's
    existing ANDROID_CANDIDATE_DIRS fallback.

Both are outside the scope of this PR; documented inline above the
cache step for the next maintainer.

…ache via KvCacheSession (#2007)

* QVAC-18182 feat[api]: typed cancel outcomes on the wire + atomic KV-cache via KvCacheSession

Builds on QVAC-18181's request lifecycle primitives (DisposableScope,
RequestContext, RequestRegistry) to deliver the M2 milestone:

- Typed cancel outcomes: `stopReason: "cancelled"` on `completionDone`
  events, and `InferenceCancelledError(requestId, partial)` thrown from
  CompletionRun promise-aggregates (`final` / `text` / `toolCalls` /
  `stats`). The wire stream still ends normally so iterating
  `run.events` is unaffected — the typed error lives on the aggregate
  promises that callers `await` for the final result.

- KvCacheSession (`server/bare/plugins/llamacpp-completion/ops/
  kv-cache-session.ts`) — single atomic owner of the three KV-cache
  layers (`cachedMessageCounts`, `initializedCaches`, on-disk `.bin`
  files). `beginTurn` / `commitTurn` / `rollback` collapse the three
  duplicated cleanup blocks in `completion-stream.ts` into one
  scope.defer hook. Cross-model administrative deletion lives at the
  module level as `deleteKvCacheState(...)`, called by the RPC
  `handleDeleteCache` handler.

- Stop-button race close — `RequestRegistry` now keeps a bounded
  cancelled-before-begin map (128 entries, 30s TTL). A `cancel({
  requestId })` that lands before the server's `begin(...)` ran is
  applied retroactively when begin lands, so same-tick stop clicks no
  longer disappear into the void. Internal-only — the wire surface for
  `cancel` is unchanged (Option A in the brief).

Cursor rules updated in the same PR so the request-lifecycle and
KV-cache topic docs stay in sync with the implementation.

Tests:
- unit: KvCacheSession (bareTest-gated, runs in the Bare consumer),
  RequestRegistry race + bounded-set eviction, completion-event schema
  cancelled cases.
- e2e: cancellation-tests.ts adds three definitions — mid-stream cancel
  (events.stopReason === "cancelled", final rejects with
  InferenceCancelledError, partial.text matches concatenated
  contentDelta), cancel-before-begin (retroactive abort), and
  cancel-then-resume-kv-cache (rollback wiped the three layers, the
  next turn re-primes cleanly).

* chore: drop planning labels (Mx/Dx) from QVAC-18182 comments

Strips milestone (`M1`/`M2`/`M3a`...) and deliverable (`D2`/`D5`/`D7`)
labels from comments and test titles introduced with the typed-cancel
outcomes + KvCacheSession work. The substantive descriptions of the
contracts (Stop-button race, cancelled-before-begin map, three-layer
session ownership, etc.) are preserved; only the planning-doc
references are removed so the code reads cleanly without the pitch
context. Durable `QVAC-XXXXX` ticket references are kept.

No behavior or API surface changes.

* chore: drop Asana ticket references from QVAC-18182 code comments

Strips QVAC-XXXXX inline ticket references from code/test comments
introduced by the typed-cancel-outcomes work. Concept names
(Stop-button race, cancelled-before-begin, etc.) and prose
descriptions of the contracts are preserved; only the ticket-tag
suffixes go. Also renames a test cache key from
`qvac-18182-cancel-resume-kvcache` to `cancel-then-resume-kvcache` so
the cache key reads as a stable identifier rather than a ticket
reference.

No behavior or API surface changes.

* QVAC-18182 doc: clarify error>cancelled precedence + deleteKvCacheState concurrency

Address non-blocking review nits on PR #2007:

- aggregate-events: explain why a wire event carrying both error and
  cancelled signals resolves to error (closes brief open question #3).
- kv-cache-session: doc-comment on deleteKvCacheState explaining the
  ordering guarantee under concurrent in-flight turns -- delete is
  wire-async, in-flight turns roll back idempotently when their commit
  probe finds the file gone (closes brief open question #4).

Comments only; no behavior changes.

* QVAC-18182 doc: demonstrate typed cancel outcomes in cancel example

Enhance the existing cancel-by-request-id example to demonstrate the
two M2 cancel-outcome channels:

- run.events ends normally with completionDone carrying
  stopReason: "cancelled" -- show reading it inside the iteration loop.
- run.text rejects with InferenceCancelledError(requestId, partial) on
  cancel -- show the instanceof check and consuming partial.text,
  partial.toolCalls, partial.stats.

Also update the header to remove the now-stale "logged as a no-match"
sentence (same-tick cancels are no longer dropped after M2's race
close).

Pure documentation enhancement; no API or behavior changes.

* QVAC-18182 fix: address PR review — partial-prime cleanup + parent-aborted state

Two follow-ups from Opanin's review on PR #2007:

1. KvCacheSession.beginTurn: if `primeIfMissing` throws after the
   addon has partially written a `.bin` to disk, the next
   `beginCustom` would `fsPromises.access(cachePath)` → true and
   trust the half-primed file as a valid cache (no rollback hook is
   registered yet — the handler hasn't seen the `TurnHandle`). Wrap
   both `beginCustom` and `beginAuto` prime calls in a shared
   `primeOrCleanup` helper that best-effort unlinks the partial file
   before re-throwing the original prime error. Adds a bare-only unit
   test asserting the on-disk file is removed and the init flag stays
   unset on the failed-prime path.

2. RequestRegistry.begin: when `parentSignal` was already aborted at
   begin time, line 271 aborts the controller but the `state` ternary
   still landed `"running"`, exactly the "momentarily-running with
   already-aborted signal" the preCancel branch was guarding against.
   Extend the ternary to cover both inputs and the existing
   `parentSignal already aborted` test now also asserts
   `ctx.state === "cancelling"`.

No behavior change on the happy path. Lint + typecheck + 351-test
unit suite green locally on the changed files.

* QVAC-18182 fix: prime is atomic — addon writes to .prime.tmp + atomic rename

Upgrade the previous reactive cleanup workaround (PR #2007 review by
@opaninakuffo) into a proactive atomic-by-construction design:

  - The session steers `model.run({ saveSessionPath })` to a sibling
    `cachePath + ".prime.tmp"` path.
  - Only after the prime closure resolves successfully do we promote
    the temp file to the canonical `cachePath` via `fsPromises.rename`
    (atomic same-volume on every host we target).
  - The canonical cache path is therefore *never* observable in a
    partial state — a thrown prime is indistinguishable on disk from
    a never-attempted prime, so the next existence probe (in-process
    or cross-process worker restart) cannot trust corrupt bytes.

Defensive details:
  - We unlink any leftover `.prime.tmp` *before* invoking the closure,
    so a deferred-write addon path can't accidentally promote
    stale-from-crash bytes left by a prior worker.
  - On prime success we probe the temp path before renaming. If the
    addon deferred its disk write (some llama.cpp paths flush lazily),
    the temp doesn't exist and we leave the canonical path absent —
    `verifySaveAndRecord` in `commitTurn` is the authoritative check.
  - On rename failure we unlink the temp and surface the rename error;
    rename atomicity guarantees the canonical path was untouched.

Why this is better than the prior `primeOrCleanup`:
  - Best-effort `unlink` was load-bearing for correctness in the old
    design — a failed unlink left a half-primed canonical file the
    next `beginCustom` would trust. The new design moves the only
    possible "partial" file to a non-trusted name, so failed cleanup
    cannot corrupt the canonical name by construction.
  - The unit test no longer mocks the workaround surface; it asserts
    the actual invariant ("canonical path was never written") plus
    the positive rename and the leftover-sweep guarantees.

Tests: 3 bare-only kv-cache-session unit tests (throw-leaves-canonical-
untouched, success-promotes-via-rename, leftover-from-crash-is-swept).
Lint + typecheck + 351-test unit suite green locally on the changed files.

Long-term, the right fix is one layer down — the llama.cpp addon should
write transactionally itself and surface save errors instead of
swallowing them. When that lands, this helper collapses to a direct
`prime(cachePath)` call and the `verifySaveAndRecord` access-probe
fallback (TODO already documented) can be retired together. Filed as
a separate follow-up; out of scope for this PR.

* QVAC-18182 fix: replace prime-atomic helper with verifyPrimedFile post-prime probe

Audit of the llama.cpp addon (`CacheManager::writeCacheFile` →
`llama_state_save_file`, return value swallowed; `LlamaModel::
processPromptImpl` lines 575-599) shows the bug shape Opanin flagged
on PR #2007 — "primeIfMissing throws after a partial save" — does not
actually fire. The save call is the very last operation on the
prefill path, the addon ignores its return value, and any earlier
throw means no save was attempted. So:

  - `primeOrCleanup` (`ac8d2d74e`) and the upgrade to
    `primeAtomically` (`a7420f3e6`) defended against a code path that
    the addon does not produce.
  - The real corruption shape is silent partial writes (addon's
    `llama_state_save_file` returns false, addon ignores it, file is
    half-written or empty). Atomic temp+rename did NOT close this
    gap — on a "silent partial" the closure resolves successfully and
    the helper would happily promote the partial `.prime.tmp` to the
    canonical path.

Replace both helpers with a small `verifyPrimedFile` that mirrors the
existing `verifySaveAndRecord` access-probe pattern used at commit
time, applied at prime time:

  - After a successful prime closure, `fsPromises.stat` the canonical
    path. If it doesn't exist (addon was interrupted before save) or
    has size 0 (addon save call produced an empty file), throw and
    best-effort unlink the empty leftover so the next existence probe
    doesn't trust it.
  - This catches the two failure modes Opanin's concern was a proxy
    for (cancelled-mid-prime; addon save quietly produced nothing)
    without claiming defense against partial-but-nonzero writes,
    which can only be closed at the addon layer.

The `RequestRegistry` parent-aborted-state fix (`ctx.state` ternary
covers `opts.parentSignal?.aborted`) from `ac8d2d74e` is preserved
unchanged — it stands on its own as a correct response to Opanin's
second comment.

Long-term root cause stays the addon: have
`CacheManager::writeCacheFile` check `llama_state_save_file`'s return
value and throw on failure. When that lands, both `verifyPrimedFile`
and `verifySaveAndRecord`'s access-probes can be retired together.
Filed as a separate follow-up — out of scope for this PR.

Tests: 3 prior bare-only prime-atomic tests removed; 2 new bare-only
tests added (no-file and empty-file rejection paths). Lint +
typecheck + 330-test unit suite green locally on the changed files
(pre-existing sdcpp-generation lint errors unchanged).

* QVAC-18182 doc: kv-cache rule documents addon non-transactional save + matched access-probes

Extend the "Cache Initialization (primeIfMissing)" section in
.cursor/rules/sdk/docs/kv-cache-system.mdc with the corrected
addon-contract analysis:

  - The llama.cpp addon's CacheManager::writeCacheFile discards
    llama_state_save_file's bool return; maybeSaveCacheToDisk is the
    last call on the prefill path. So no closure-rejection path can
    coexist with a partial file on disk.
  - Document the four real outcomes as a table (interrupted /
    success / silent partial write / pre-eval throw) so future
    readers can see why the SDK takes the shape it does.
  - Pin both SDK-side defenses as a matched pair: verifyPrimedFile
    at prime time (added in this PR) and verifySaveAndRecord at
    commit time (existing). Both are honest about what they catch
    (missing / empty file) and what they don't (partial-but-nonzero,
    only addon fix can close that).
  - Reference the addon-layer follow-up
    (1214778658064488 / "throw on llama_state_save_file failure")
    so the next contributor knows both probes will be retired
    together when the addon throws on save failure.

No code change — rule-only update.

* QVAC-18183 feat[api]: inference-handler migrations

Migrate the four remaining inference handler kinds onto the
RequestRegistry primitives shipped in M3a (cancel-capability
declaration, per-kind concurrency policy, structured
`[request-lifecycle]` logging). Each handler now opens a
request-scoped `ManagedRequestContext`, threads the optional
`requestId` from the wire request (falling back to a server-minted
UUID), routes hard cancels to `addon.cancel()` at a single signal-
listener leaf, and replaces ad-hoc `try/finally` cleanup with
`scope.defer(...)` registrations so cleanup runs in LIFO order on
every exit path.

- `embed` (kind "embeddings", `{ scope: "model", hard: true }`):
  `packages/sdk/server/bare/ops/embed.ts` opens the context, threads
  `requestId` from `embedRequestSchema`, post-await `signal.aborted`
  checks raise `InferenceCancelledError`.
- `transcribe` / `transcribeStream` (kind "transcribe",
  `{ scope: "model", hard: true }`): collapsed
  `try { ... } finally { restorePrompt(...) }` into
  `scope.defer(restorePrompt)`, added per-iteration
  `if (ctx.signal.aborted) break;` in the `response.iterate()` loop
  (Option A from §4 of the M3b brief — explicit, visible at the call
  site, no `takeWhileNotAborted` wrapper).
- `translate` (kind "translate"): two engine branches.
  llamacpp-completion declares `{ scope: "model", hard: true }` and
  wires `signal → addon.cancel()`; nmtcpp-translation keeps
  `{ scope: "none" }` and soft-cancels inside both the streaming
  iterate loop and the `runBatch` early-return path.
- `finetune` (kind "finetune"): flipped the llamacpp-completion
  manifest declaration from `{ scope: "none" }` to
  `{ scope: "model", hard: true }` (the addon already exposes
  `model.cancel()`). `startFinetune` opens a registry context and
  wires `signal → model.cancel()`; the two-level `try/finally`
  collapses into `scope.defer` for `clearFinetuneRuntimeState` and
  `handle.removeListener`. `cancelFinetune(modelId)` is now a thin
  wrapper over `getRequestRegistry().cancel({ modelId, kind:
  "finetune" })` — never invokes `model.cancel()` directly.

Per §4 of the brief: per-iteration cancel granularity uses
Option A (explicit `if (ctx.signal.aborted) break;` at the top of
each streaming loop body). No `takeWhileNotAborted` wrapper was
introduced.

Per §7 anti-patterns: M3b adds zero `oneAtATimePerModel` policies
(the four migrated kinds tolerate concurrent requests against the
same model), leaves the M1 compat-fallback in
`server/bare/ops/cancel.ts` untouched (M3d retires it), and does
not modify `cancelHandler.ts`.

Other changes:
- `embed`, `transcribe`, `transcribeStream`, `translate`,
  `finetune` request schemas grow an optional `requestId` field
  (`.string().min(1).optional()`); server-side ops fall back to
  `generateServerRequestId()` when absent.
- Whisper / Parakeet / LLM / NMT plugin handlers thread
  `request.requestId` into their bare ops.
- `plugin-cancel-capability.test.ts` truth-table flipped for the
  `finetune` row.
- New `inference-handler-migrations.test.ts` covers schema-level
  optional-`requestId` acceptance for all four kinds and pins the
  `[request-lifecycle] begin/cancel/end` line shape for each kind.
  The op-level cancel-by-requestId / cancel-by-modelId integration
  tests are bare-runtime-gated (the migrated ops pull `bare-crypto`
  / `bare-fs` transitively and can't load under Bun, same reason as
  `finetune-ops.test.disabled.ts`).
- `.cursor/rules/sdk/request-lifecycle-primitives.mdc` and
  `.cursor/rules/sdk/docs/request-lifecycle-system.mdc` updated:
  M3b row marked shipped, finetune truth-table row flipped,
  canonical-handler-shape section refreshed to use `embed.ts` as the
  cleanest reference and to document the Option A per-iteration
  check.

Verification:
- `bun lint` (eslint + tsc --noEmit): green.
- `bun run typecheck`: green.
- `bun run test:unit`: every test file green except the
  pre-existing `client/rpc/rpc-client.ts` `#rpc` package-resolution
  failure on upstream/main (also reproducible without these
  changes; unrelated to M3b).

* QVAC-18183 fix: address PR #2058 review feedback

- transcribe.ts: route the two `Transcription Update` debug emits
  through `requestLogger.debug` so they carry the per-request prefix,
  matching the rule's `grep "requestId=<id>"` invariant. Drop the now-
  unused module-level `logger`. Collapse two `scope.defer(async () =>
  { await restorePrompt(...) })` wrappers to bare arrow callbacks
  (review #5, #10).

- inference-handler-migrations.test.ts: add bareTest op-level cancel-
  by-requestId cases for `transcribe (whisper)` (asserts loop exit +
  addon.cancel called + reload-count == 2 to pin the
  `applyPrompt + restorePrompt runs exactly once` invariant) and
  `finetune` (asserts model.cancel called + scope unwind clears the
  runtime-state flag back to IDLE). Pin the NMT soft-cancel contract
  by instrumenting the addon and asserting addon.cancel was NOT called
  during a translate cancel (review #3, #7).

- request-lifecycle-primitives.mdc: reconcile the "polling
  signal.aborted mid-handler" anti-pattern with the new "Per-iteration
  cancel check (M3b)" canonical pattern. The anti-pattern is *adding*
  the check when the addon already honours signal directly; the M3b
  pattern is *introducing* the check where the addon doesn't and the
  loop is the only soft-cancel exit (review #4).

* QVAC-18183 fix: drop unsafe `addon` re-narrowing in translate.ts onAbort

Addresses opaninakuffo's review comment on #2058:
`AnyModel.addon` is already typed as `AddonInterface | undefined`
(see `server/bare/registry/model-registry.ts:17-20`), so the
`as unknown as { addon?: { cancel?(jobId?: string): Promise<void> } }`
cast was unnecessary. Matches the simpler pattern used by `embed.ts`
and `transcribe.ts` for the same `onAbort` shape — keeps the four
M3b-migrated ops uniform.

* QVAC-18183 doc: trim internal milestone references from cursor rules + code comments

Removed the "Migration Roadmap" table, "M1/M2/M3a-d" milestone labels, planning-brief
decision references (Decision A/B.2, D1/D2), workspace-local paths
(`tasks/release-0.11.0-planning/...`, `pitch-3-decisions.md`), and "in review"
forward-references from the request-lifecycle cursor rules and the matching code
comments in the bare ops, finetune wrapper, and the inference-migration tests. The
canonical handler shape, anti-patterns, primitives reference, plugin cancel-capability
truth table, and concurrency-policy / structured-logging sections all stay — only the
internal milestone framing comes out.

* feat: add qvac-lib-infer-vla hello-world addon scaffold

- New addon package at packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla with ggml backend.
- CI workflows for on-pr, on-merge, prebuilds, integration + mobile tests, cpp-tests.
- Temporarily renames on-pr-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml to on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml
  so the existing workflow name triggers CI while verifying hello-world scaffold.

* fix[notask]: pure-JS helper pattern for hello-world addon unit tests

- Extract `normalizeName()` into a pure-JS `addon.js` helper in the vla
  scaffold so `npm run test:unit` no longer loads the native `.bare` addon.
- Mirror the pattern used by qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed, which lets CI's
  ts-checks job (which runs `test:unit --if-present` without a build) pass.
- Propagate the same pattern to the `new-addon` skill templates and document
  the rule in SKILL.md so future scaffolds inherit it.

* fix[notask]: fix Windows build for hello-world scaffold

Add Windows compile defines (`NOMINMAX`, `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN`, `NOGDI`)
and link `msvcrt.lib`, mirroring qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed. Without
these, the Windows SDK macros `ERROR` (wingdi.h) and `min` (minwindef.h)
collide with `Priority::ERROR` and `std::min` in the
`qvac-lib-inference-addon-cpp` headers.

Propagate the same fix to the `new-addon` skill template so future
scaffolds inherit it.

* fix: use versionless filename for pinned Vulkan SDK download

LunarG rotated out the versioned `vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-${VERSION}.tar.xz`
download URL and now only serves `vulkan_sdk.tar.xz` under each pinned
version path. Prebuild workflows using the pinned version (currently
1.4.341.1) fail with `wget` exit code 8 (HTTP 404) on every fresh runner.

Align the pinned-version URL with the `latest` URL pattern, which already
uses `vulkan_sdk.tar.xz` and continues to return 200 for pinned versions.

Verified:
- https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.4.341.1/linux/vulkan_sdk.tar.xz -> 200
- https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.4.341.1/linux/vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.4.341.1.tar.xz -> 404

* chore[notask]: bump setup-vulkan-sdk action pin on tmp-vla

Point the vla prebuild workflow at the cherry-picked Vulkan URL fix
so CI on this branch actually picks it up. The previous pin still
resolved to the pre-fix action, so Linux/Android prebuilds kept
hitting wget exit 8 (HTTP 404) even after the fix commit landed on
tmp-vla.

* feat[bc]: port SmolVLA ggml inference into qvac-lib-infer-vla

Replace hello-world scaffold with real SmolVLA inference engine (739-tensor
vision+text+expert model, 10-step flow-matching ODE). JS surface exposes
VlaModel, preprocessImage, padState. Integration test downloads the LIBERO
checkpoint from S3 via GitHub OIDC so CI can exercise end-to-end inference.

* infra: add on-pr CI workflow for qvac-lib-infer-vla

The VLA package was missing an on-pr workflow, so nothing ran sanity checks,
cpp-lint/tests, ts-checks, prebuilds, or integration tests against a PR. This
adds one mirroring the Embed template so integration tests (which pull the
SmolVLA LIBERO GGUF from S3) gate the PR.

* doc: harden new-addon skill with explicit 7-workflow check

Add Step 4a validation gate that lists every expected workflow filename and
fails loudly if any is missing. The prior VLA scaffold shipped with only 6/7
workflows (on-pr-*.yml silently dropped), which left PRs against the new
package without sanity checks, cpp-lint/tests, ts-checks, prebuilds, or
integration tests. Also make Step 6 list each generated filename by name so
miscounts are caught at report time.

* fix: use std::numbers::pi_v<float> to unbreak Windows (MSVC) build

MSVC's `<cmath>` does not define `M_PI` unless `_USE_MATH_DEFINES` is set
before the include, so the x64-windows prebuild job failed to compile
smolvla.cpp. Switch to the C++20 `std::numbers::pi_v<float>` constant,
which works on every toolchain we build with.

* feat: enable full GPU backend set (Vulkan + Metal + OpenCL) in qvac-lib-infer-vla

Drop default-features:false on the qvac-fabric dep so the port's platform-
auto-selected backends get built: Metal on iOS/macOS, Vulkan on Linux/Android/
Windows, plus the CPU fallback everywhere. Declare the OpenCL dep on Android
so qvac-fabric's Android GPU backend can pick it up alongside Vulkan, mirroring
the LLM addon's setup.

The addon already calls ggml_backend_load_all_from_path(BACKENDS_SUBDIR) and
ships each GGML_AVAILABLE_BACKEND as a shared/static lib via CMakeLists, so no
C++ changes are needed — the extra backends get discovered at runtime.

* chore[notask]: rename vla workflow display names for easier triggering

Use `on-merge-vla` for the merge workflow and `vla` for the PR workflow so
`gh workflow run vla` uniquely resolves to the on-pr trigger without ambiguity
against all the other `(Vla)`-suffixed package workflows.

* chore[notask]: mask vla on-pr workflow as on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml on tmp-vla

Temporarily rename the VLA on-pr workflow to the OCR filename so
`gh workflow run on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml --ref tmp-vla` resolves the workflow
ID via main's registration and then dispatches against our file content
on tmp-vla. Scoped to tmp-vla only — does not affect main's OCR workflow.

* fix: satisfy standardjs no-new in vla integration tests

Capture the VlaModel constructor return and destroy it so standardjs
stops flagging the error-path probes with `no-new`. These paths throw
synchronously before the native handle is fully built, so the destroy
is cheap and safe.

* fix: replace brittle t.exception() in vla unit tests to unblock bare run

Brittle's t.exception() runs the probed function inside a promise chain; on
the bare runtime the assertion helper rethrows into an uncaught rejection
which aborts the process with SIGABRT (exit 134). This made the ts-checks
job fail on CI even though every assertion passed.

Switch both rejection probes (preprocessImage and padState) to the same
try/catch + t.ok pattern already used in the integration tests.

* style: apply clang-format-19 to qvac-lib-infer-vla sources

Satisfies cpp-lint 'Check C++ files format' step (run from CI):
git-clang-format-19 --extensions c,cc,cpp,cxx,h,hh,hpp,hxx -- packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla

* test[notask]: fix ci failures from tmp-vla PR-style dispatch

- mobile: add test/mobile/ scaffold (integration-runtime.cjs + auto.cjs)
  and matching generate/validate scripts. Mobile workflow requires
  test/mobile/*.cjs; before this commit the dir didn't exist.
- integration (linux-x64): install aws CLI v2 on linux runners
  (idempotent). Needed for ai-run-linux-gpu self-hosted runner that
  lacks a pre-baked aws CLI.
- integration (darwin-x64): skip S3 download + QVAC_VLA_MODEL on the
  macos-15-large Intel runner. Its Apple Paravirtual GPU exposes only
  ~1 GB working set — too small for the 4 GB SmolVLA model, which
  triggers GGML_ASSERT(buf_src) mid-inference on Metal. Darwin-arm64
  still runs the full end-to-end test.

* ci[notask]: skip cpp-lint on workflow_dispatch in vla on-pr

cpp-lint passes `github.event.pull_request.base.sha` as the diff base;
on workflow_dispatch that's empty, and the called workflow then runs
`git-clang-format-19 --diff ""` which fails with "'' is not a commit".

Gate the job on `github.event_name == 'pull_request_target'` so
dispatch-style runs (we use these to test tmp-vla) don't fail it.
Real PRs still run the format check normally. merge-guard is
if-always, so the skipped job doesn't block it.

* fix: ship ggml core libs on Android and add AWS CLI to PATH on self-hosted linux

Two independent CI fixes for the VLA addon:

1. Android mobile integration tests were failing because the prebuild
   shipped only backend shared libs (libqvac-ggml-vulkan.so,
   libqvac-ggml-cpu-*.so, libqvac-ggml-opencl.so) and the addon .bare
   itself. qvac-fabric builds ggml with GGML_BACKEND_DL=ON on Android,
   which makes ggml::ggml and ggml::ggml-base shared libraries too, so
   without them the addon's dlopen fails with unresolved ggml_* symbols.
   Install them alongside the backend libs when GGML_BACKEND_DL is set.

2. linux-x64 integration tests were failing on the self-hosted
   ai-run-linux-gpu runner because AWS CLI v2 installs to
   /usr/local/bin/aws but that directory is not on PATH for subsequent
   steps. Append it to $GITHUB_PATH so later steps (aws s3 sync, etc.)
   can resolve the binary. Also simplified the install block to early-
   exit when aws is already present.

* fix[notask]: VLA Android ggml backend-DL compat + linux AWS CLI perms

Two fixes for remaining tmp-vla CI failures:

1. Android addon failed to dlopen the .bare because qvac-fabric builds
   ggml with GGML_BACKEND_DL=ON, which keeps the core ggml_backend_*
   registry symbols in the addon but puts `ggml_backend_cpu_init` in the
   separately-loaded CPU backend .so. Switch to the device-registry API
   (`ggml_backend_dev_by_type` + `ggml_backend_dev_init`) so the CPU
   backend is obtained from whichever backend was loaded at runtime via
   `ggml_backend_load_all_from_path`. Also revert the CMakeLists hack
   that shipped ggml::ggml / ggml::ggml-base alongside the addon — those
   ship as static .a under this vcpkg triplet and are useless at dlopen.

2. linux-x64 integration jobs were hitting `aws: Permission denied` on
   the self-hosted `ai-run-linux-gpu` runner because a leftover install
   at /usr/local/bin/aws had mode bits the runner user couldn't execute.
   Add an `[ -x /usr/local/bin/aws ]` early-return path so we reuse a
   good existing install, and `chmod -R a+rX` after any fresh install to
   harden against the same footgun next time.

* fix[notask]: tolerate Vulkan teardown SIGSEGV on ai-run-linux-gpu

The Linux x64 integration matrix runs on two Ubuntu runners: a plain
ubuntu-22.04 (CPU only) and a self-hosted ai-run-linux-gpu (Tesla T4
Vulkan). Tests all pass cleanly on both, but the GPU runner's bare
process exits with SIGSEGV (exit 139) ~0.5s after the final test
completes — inside ggml-vulkan's static-destructor chain interacting
with the NVIDIA Vulkan ICD.

Fixing that upstream is out of scope for this branch, but we still want
GPU coverage in CI. Wrap the `npm run test:integration` invocation so
that exit 139 is tolerated IFF the captured TAP output shows all tests
passed (the `# ok` end marker and the `# tests = N/N pass` summary).
Any other non-zero exit, and any missing TAP pass marker, still fails
the job.

* feat[api]: expose per-stage timings and PyTorch reference assertion in VLA

- VlaModel.run() now returns { actions, stats } where stats carries
  vision_ms, smollm2_compute_ms, smollm2_total_ms, ode_ms, total_ms
  captured during inference. C ABI of smolvla_inference is preserved;
  C++ callers use new smolvla_inference_with_timing.
- Integration test: tolerance-based comparison against a committed
  PyTorch reference (test/integration/assets/pt_actions_libero_fixed.json,
  generated by scripts/generate_reference.py), plus wiring of the shared
  performance reporter (vla addon type). Uploads perf-report.json as
  a per-platform artifact in the integration-test workflow.

* test: regenerate VLA PyTorch reference at action_dim=7

The committed reference was generated at action_dim=6 but the current
smolvla-libero-f32-fixed.gguf reports action_dim=7, so the tolerance
asserts were skipped in CI with "shape mismatch (ref=50x6, actual=50x7)".
Regenerated with `generate_reference.py --action-dim 7`; local run now
exercises both new asserts with max|Δ|=0.0009, cos=1.0000.

* feat: bundle SmolVLA GGUF on mobile via presigned S3 URL

Ports the presigned-URL-on-mobile pattern used by qvac-lib-infer-nmtcpp so
the VLA end-to-end test actually runs on AWS Device Farm. Without a GGUF
on device the mobile test skipped, leaving the Step Summary empty.

- scripts/generate-smolvla-presigned-url.sh: resolve the latest date dir
  under s3://MODEL_S3_BUCKET/qvac_models_compiled/vla/smolvla-libero/,
  presign smolvla-libero-f32-fixed.gguf for 6h, export to GITHUB_ENV.
- integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml: OIDC auth to
  eu-central-1, run the presign script, and bundle the URL into
  test/mobile/testAssets/smolvla-urls.json before the addon is packed.
- test/integration/addon.test.js: on mobile, load the URL from
  global.assetPaths, download into global.testDir/vla-models/ (with
  retry/redirect handling and a ≥100MB cache-hit shortcut) and use that
  as the modelPath instead of relying on QVAC_VLA_MODEL.
- package.json: add bare-fetch devDep, same version range as nmtcpp.

* fix: stream SmolVLA GGUF download on mobile via bare-https

The mobile end-to-end test was crashing the Bare runtime at
after-test:runAddonTest with State=1 on both iOS and Android. Root cause
was the _downloadFile helper loading the entire 2.1 GiB GGUF into memory
via bare-fetch + response.arrayBuffer() + Buffer.from(buffer), which
peaked at ~4.5 GB and got OOM-killed by the mobile kernel.

Replace the buffered download with a bare-https streaming pipe:
https.get + fs.createWriteStream + res.on('data', chunk => write(chunk)).
Same pattern Parakeet, TTS/Chatterbox, and Diffusion use for their
multi-GB Device Farm models. Preserves redirect handling (301/302/
307/308), retry+backoff, and adds progress logs every 50 MB. Failed
attempts unlink the partial file before retrying.

Drop bare-fetch from devDependencies — bare-https is a Bare runtime
module, so no new dep is needed.

* ci: align darwin-arm64 integration runner with prebuild SDK

Prebuilds for darwin-arm64 are built on macos-14 (macOS 14 SDK), but the
integration test job was running on macos-15-xlarge. The .bare binary —
including its linked Metal/MPSGraph frameworks — was compiled against the
macOS 14 SDK then loaded on a macOS 15 host. That cross-SDK mismatch is a
plausible cause of the Metal correctness divergence we are seeing on CI
(max|Δ|=1.9789 on CI darwin-arm64 vs max|Δ|=0.0006 on a macos-15.5 M3
Max running the same GGUF locally). Match the runner OS to the prebuild
runner (macos-14-xlarge) so the binary executes on the SDK it was built
against.

Also tighten the end-to-end mobile test: remove the t.comment + t.pass()
graceful-skip branches that silently masked iOS CI failures. On mobile
the presigned S3 URL is bundled at build time, so a fetch/load/inference
failure is now a hard t.fail(), and we assert the downloaded GGUF exists
and is at least 100 MB before proceeding.

* ci: run darwin-arm64 VLA integration on self-hosted mac-mini-m4

GitHub's hosted macos-*-xlarge runners are Apple Virtualization VMs —
their Metal driver reports "Apple Paravirtual device" with
`simdgroup reduction = false` and `simdgroup matrix mul. = false`. ggml
falls back to a scalar Metal path that is ~40x slower and produces
different f32 accumulation, which is what caused the darwin-arm64
correctness failure (max|Δ|=1.97, cos=0.15) and a ~12s vs ~0.3s
inference time versus the same GGUF on a real M3 Max.

macos-14-xlarge has the same paravirt signature (confirmed in
run 24887526194: max|Δ|=1.07 on SDK-aligned runner), so the earlier
fix didn't help.

Switch darwin-arm64 integration to the self-hosted mac-mini-m4 runner
(label: mac-mini-m4-gpu), the same setup the diffusion addon uses for
Metal-backed correctness tests.

* ci: install AWS CLI on darwin-arm64 self-hosted runner

The mac-mini-m4 self-hosted runner doesn't ship with aws CLI preinstalled,
so the "Download SmolVLA model from S3" step fails with
`aws: command not found` (run 24888672009, job 72877826352). GHA's Linux
matrix entry had an idempotent aws install; darwin had none. Add the
equivalent macOS step that checks PATH, then /usr/local/bin/aws, then
installs via the official AWSCLIV2.pkg installer. Scoped to darwin-arm64
since darwin-x64 runs on a GHA-hosted Intel Mac that already has aws.

* ci: install AWS CLI user-local on mac-mini-m4 (no sudo)

The self-hosted mac-mini-m4-gpu runner doesn't have passwordless sudo,
so `sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /` fails with
`sudo: a terminal is required to read the password` (run 24889823710,
job 72880523559).

Pivot to a user-local install: `pkgutil --expand-full` unpacks the
official pkg without sudo, and the payload at
`aws-cli.pkg/Payload/aws-cli/aws` is a real Mach-O universal binary
(verified: aws-cli/2.34.36 runs standalone from that path). Move it
to `$HOME/.local/aws-cli` and add that dir to `$GITHUB_PATH`.

Also widen the preflight check to pick up `/opt/homebrew/bin/aws` and
the user-local path, so the step is a no-op on subsequent runs.

* test: fix mobile model download — bare-https has no .get()

Mobile Device Farm runs were failing at test 4 (`end-to-end inference
runs (needs GGUF)`) with `[vla-model] download failed after 3 attempts:
https.get is not a function` on iPhone 16 Pro / 16e / 17 and Pixel 9 Pro /
Galaxy S25 Ultra (run 24891028803).

Root cause: `bare-https` only exports `.request()` — there is no
Node-compatible `.get()`. Switch to the same pattern
`qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed/test/integration/utils.js` uses:
`https.request(url, cb)` followed by an explicit `req.end()`, since
`.request()` returns a writable that must be closed before the request
is actually sent.

t.fail() hardening surfaced this correctly — desktop remains green
(real M4 Metal: max|Δ|=0.0006, cos=1.0000).

* test: fix mobile VLA download crash — use response.pipe(file)

Mobile Device Farm runs were still failing after the https.get→request fix.
Android (Pixel 9 Pro) crashed at 50MB / 2.4% of the 2.2GB download with
SIGABRT on the mqt_v_js thread inside libbare-kit.so; iOS exhibited the
same APP CRASHED pattern (run 24899187856, job 72913667435).

Root cause: the download was using `res.on('data', chunk =>
writeStream.write(chunk))` with no backpressure — V8 + file stream
queue grew until the JS bridge aborted. `qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-embed`
downloads with `response.pipe(file)`, which applies backpressure
automatically. Switch to the same pattern, plus the full safeResolve/
safeReject error hygiene (destroy file + unlink on error, follow
redirects cleanly).

Progress logging is preserved (`res.on('data')` is kept for byte
counting only; the pipe does the actual writing).

Desktop remained green through both prior fix attempts (real M4 Metal:
max|Δ|=0.0006, cos=1.0000) — this only affects the mobile fetch path.

* test: raise mobile GGUF e2e test timeout to 20 min

The backpressure fix (6021b43b, res.pipe(file)) successfully resolved the
50MB SIGABRT on Android — download now progresses past 50MB cleanly
(logcat: [vla-model] progress: 50MB (2.4%) at 18:07:10 then keeps going
with no crash in libbare-kit.so).

New failure mode surfaced: brittle's default 30-second per-test timeout
fires before a 2.2GB mobile download + model load + inference can
complete. On Pixel 9 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra the test timed out at
30s → Uncaught (in promise) Error: Test timed out after 30000 ms →
SIGABRT on mqt_v_js as the unhandled rejection propagates through the
bare bridge.

Only the end-to-end inference test needs the long budget — the other
three tests (module exports, empty path rejection, missing GGUF
rejection) stay at 30s. 20 min is conservative for:
  - 2.2GB HTTPS download over mobile carrier (5-10 min)
  - SmolVLA model load (vision 12L + text 32L + expert 32L, ~1 min)
  - Vision x2 + SmolLM2 prefix + 10-step ODE (~15s on CPU/Vulkan)
  - Headroom for Device Farm variability

Desktop is unaffected: it uses QVAC_VLA_MODEL from a pre-staged path
and finishes in ~15 sec (max|Δ|=0.0006 on M4 Metal, cos=1.0000).

* fix: mmap+host_ptr GGUF load to fix iOS Metal alloc crash

Mobile run 24905749242 (commit 8bdc077e) confirmed all download/timeout
fixes worked: Pixel 9 Pro reaches `runAddonTest passed (4/4)`. Two new
unrelated bugs surfaced; this fixes the iOS one.

iOS root cause
On iPhone 16 Pro / 16e / 17, every load attempt crashed at model load
with EXC_BAD_ACCESS in `ggml_metal_buffer_is_shared` at NULL+0x10. The
faulting stack:

  ggml_metal_buffer_is_shared
  ggml_backend_metal_buffer_type_shared_alloc_buffer
  alloc_tensor_range
  ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft
  smolvla_load_model+51156

`smolvla_load_model` was hand-rolling a load path that did:
  1. gguf_init_from_file(no_alloc=false) — heap-allocate full 2.2 GB on CPU
  2. ggml_init(no_alloc=true) — duplicate context for GPU
  3. ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors() — single 2.2 GB Metal shared-mode
     allocation, which iOS Metal cannot service. The internal
     allocator returned NULL, then dereffed it.

Why the LLM and diffusion addons don't hit this on iOS
Both delegate model loading to a library (llama_load_model_from_file in
qvac-fabric, new_sd_ctx in stable-diffusion-cpp) that uses the
ggml_backend_dev_buffer_from_host_ptr() path on devices reporting
`caps.buffer_from_host_ptr=true` (Apple Metal, CPU). That path wraps an
mmap'd region in a backend buffer and the Metal backend internally
slices it into per-tensor sub-buffers each ≤ max_tensor_size — no
giant single shared-mode allocation.

Fix — mirror llama-model.cpp:6648 create_backend_buffers
- gguf_init_from_file(no_alloc=true): metadata only (~few MB), no 2.2 GB
  heap copy.
- Probe device caps (buffer_from_host_ptr, is_default_buft).
- FAST PATH (Apple Metal, CPU): mmap the GGUF file with PROT_READ |
  MAP_PRIVATE; call ggml_backend_dev_buffer_from_host_ptr() with
  ggml_get_max_tensor_size(ctx) as the slicer hint; wire each tensor
  to its mmap-relative position via ggml_backend_tensor_alloc().
  Zero-copy: process memory stays around tensor metadata + lazily-paged
  mmap, no second allocation.
- FALLBACK (Vulkan / Android, Windows, no-host-ptr device): allocate
  via ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft() then read from disk
  with fseek/fread and upload via ggml_backend_tensor_set(). Same path
  as before but without the duplicate-context dance, and emits a clear
  failure message if the alloc returns NULL.
- Replace single `buf_w` with `std::vector<ggml_backend_buffer_t>
  bufs_w` (Metal will create multiple sub-buffers; CPU/Vulkan keep one).
- Track mmap_addr/mmap_size on the model and munmap in
  smolvla_free_model AFTER backend buffers are released.
- Mirror diffusion's CMake: define GGML_BACKEND_DL on Android so the
  addon's TUs see the same flag the qvac-fabric ggml port was built
  with.

The previous duplicate-context-+-remap-pointers code is removed
entirely. Tensors stay in the single ctx_data, and either the mmap or
alloc+copy path populates their data pointers in place.

Validation
Linux desktop (Vulkan device probed but CPU path engaged):
  - 4/4 integration tests pass, 23/23 asserts pass
  - alloc+copy fallback exercised: total weights 2127.2 MB, 739 tensors
  - Quality vs PyTorch HuggingFaceVLA/smolvla_libero:
      max|Δ|=0.0009, mean|Δ|=0.00003, cos=1.0000 (350 values)
    matches the prior baseline (max|Δ|=0.0006 on M4 Metal).
  - 2/2 C++ unit tests pass.

The mmap path needs Device Farm iOS to validate end-to-end; the
fallback is exercised on every desktop run today.

* fix: use 64-bit fseek for >2GB GGUF read on Windows + 32-bit POSIX

Win32 integration test in run 24980777510 (commit dc46a306) failed at:
  smolvla_load_model: failed to read tensor 'v.enc.blk.7.ffn_down.bias'
  at offset 2149428256

Root cause: the fallback alloc+copy path used fseek() with a (long)
cast on the offset. On Windows long is 32-bit (LLP64), so any offset
above 2^31-1 (≈2.15 GB) silently truncates. The smolvla GGUF is
~2.13 GB of weight data, so tensors past the ~2 GB mark cannot be
seeked to. Same trap exists on 32-bit POSIX targets where off_t
defaults to 32-bit unless _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.

Fix:
- Define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 at the top of smolvla.cpp before any
  system header so off_t / fseeko / ftello are 64-bit on POSIX.
- In the fallback path use _fseeki64() on Windows and fseeko() on
  POSIX (both 64-bit-clean).
- Add explicit <cstdio>/<cstdint> includes since we now reference
  the 64-bit variants directly.

The mmap fast path (Apple Metal, CPU-with-host-ptr) is unaffected —
it never calls fseek; mmap addresses are pointer-sized.

Validation
- Linux desktop alloc+copy fallback path still passes:
  - 4/4 integration tests, 23/23 asserts
  - 739 tensors, total 2127.2 MB loaded, all tensors past the
    2 GB boundary read correctly
  - Quality vs PyTorch HuggingFaceVLA/smolvla_libero unchanged:
    max|Δ|=0.0009, mean|Δ|=0.00003, cos=1.0000 (350 values)

Win32 needs a CI roundtrip to confirm the fix end-to-end.

* refactor[bc]: align qvac-lib-infer-vla with canonical addon shape

- index.js: replace synchronous VlaModel(ggufPath) with the canonical
  constructor ({ files, config, logger, opts }) and add load / run / unload /
  pause / cancel / getState built on @qvac/infer-base's createJobHandler +
  exclusiveRunQueue and @qvac/logging. run() returns a QvacResponse and the
  underlying synchronous binding is driven through job.start/output/end.
- index.d.ts: update typings to match the new async API.
- package.json: declare @qvac/logging, @qvac/infer-base, bare-fs, bare-path
  runtime deps; add top-level test, coverage:cpp* scripts; rewire
  test:integration to generate test/integration/all.js (and chain
  test:mobile:generate); replace scaffold description with the real one;
  pin cmake-bare to 1.7.5 and bump brittle to ^3.16.5.
- CMakeLists.txt: add ENABLE_COVERAGE / VK_PROFILING options and replace the
  ENV-probe ANDROID_STL block with the canonical option().
- on-merge workflow: rename display name to "On Merge Trigger (Vla)".
- integration tests: switch to the new constructor + await load/run/unload
  flow.

* feat[notask]: scaffold new addons in canonical shape

Update the new-addon skill so a freshly scaffolded addon ships with the
canonical shape used across the monorepo, removing the consistency-fix
round-trip that qvac-lib-infer-vla just had to absorb.

- templates/index.js: replace the synchronous sayHello() wrapper with a
  canonical class. Constructor `({ files, config, logger, opts })` validates
  `files.model` like every other addon; lifecycle is `load` / `run` / `unload`
  / `pause` / `cancel` / `getState`; `run()` returns a `QvacResponse` driven
  through `createJobHandler` + `exclusiveRunQueue` from `@qvac/infer-base`,
  with logging via `@qvac/logging`. The hello-world `binding.sayHello()` call
  is driven inline so synchronous backends still flow through the standard
  job interface.
- templates/index.d.ts: typings updated to match the new async surface.
- templates/package.json: declare the canonical runtime deps
  (`@qvac/infer-base`, `@qvac/logging`, `bare-fs`, `bare-path`); add
  top-level `npm test`, `coverage:cpp:*` scripts; rewire `test:integration`
  through `test:integration:generate` (which also chains
  `test:mobile:generate`); pin `cmake-bare` to exact `1.7.5` and bump
  `brittle` to `^3.16.5` to match `qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm`. The
  backend-specific deps placeholder is renamed `BACKEND_NPM_DEPS` and is
  appended inside the canonical dependencies block (with a leading comma).
- templates/CMakeLists.txt: add `option(ANDROID_STL ...)`,
  `option(ENABLE_COVERAGE ...)`, `option(VK_PROFILING ...)` so the
  prebuild workflow's `vk-profiling` input and the `coverage:cpp` scripts
  actually reach CMake.
- templates/test/integration/addon.test.js: switch to the new constructor
  + await load/run/unload flow; add a constructor-validation test.
- SKILL.md: document the canonical class shape contract, update the
  substitution table for `BACKEND_NPM_DEPS`, expand the verification step
  to include `npm test`, and update the next-step hint so the developer
  preserves the constructor signature and lifecycle when filling in the
  real model logic.

* Revert "feat[notask]: scaffold new addons in canonical shape"

This reverts commit 1abbc96bf40a975499bdb2ba2a6950003a43407b.

* fix: address VLA review feedback — JS/CI consistency, correctness, perf

Consistency

- package.json: add `build:pack` and `mobile:copy-prebuilds` scripts so the
  mobile workflow stops falling back to its inline `npm pack` and warning
  about missing prebuild fan-out.
- integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml: rename the Device Farm log
  artifact from `devicefarm-logs-llamacpp-embed-` to `devicefarm-logs-vla-`
  and pin `actions/upload-artifact` to the canonical SHA used elsewhere in
  the repo. Document that the `_LLAMACPP_EMBED` Device Farm secrets are
  intentionally shared (no dedicated `_VLA` secrets are provisioned yet).

Correctness

- index.js: clear `_hasActiveResponse` synchronously on both the success
  and failure paths. Previously the catch re-threw before the trailing
  `.finally(...)` cleanup wired up, so a native-side inference error left
  the model permanently `RUN_BUSY` until `unload()`. The success path's
  cleanup ran one microtask late, leaving a window where chained `run()`
  calls could observe the stale flag.
- index.js: `pickPrimaryGgufPath` now matches `-0*1-of-N.gguf` instead of
  any shard index, so multi-shard models always pick shard 1 regardless of
  the input array order.
- test/integration/addon.test.js: drain the redirect / non-2xx response
  body via `res.resume()` so `bare-https` releases the underlying socket
  before we follow the redirect or fail.

Performance

- addon.js: rewrite `preprocessImage` to do bilinear resize, letterbox-pad
  and the [0,1]→[-1,1] shift in a single pass over the output buffer. Drops
  the `src` and `resized` intermediates (3 × 3 MB allocations → 1) and
  hoists the per-output-pixel coordinates out of the channel loop so all
  three channels share one set of weights. Adds an optional `opts.scale`
  override so callers that already know the pixel range skip the
  256-element scan in `detectScale`.
- test/integration/addon.test.js: replace the per-chunk float division +
  `toFixed` percentage compare in `_streamDownload`'s `'data'` handler
  with a byte-threshold check; the 2.2 GB GGUF download no longer pays
  per-chunk floating-point overhead just to gate a log every 50 MB.

* fix: address VLA review feedback — C++ correctness + perf

Correctness

- AddonJs.hpp: introduce a `VlaHandle` indirection wrapper so an explicit
  `destroyVlaModel` can null out the inner `VlaModel*` while the GC
  finalizer still owns the heap-allocated wrapper. Previously the eager
  `delete` in `destroyVlaModel` left a dangling pointer in the JS external
  slot that the GC finalizer would then re-`delete` (use-after-free /
  double-free). `unwrap` now throws when the model has been destroyed
  rather than dereferencing a freed pointer.
- smolvla.cpp (mmap fast path): reject the host-ptr buffer path when
  `data_offset >= file_size` (would underflow `tensor_data_size` to a
  huge `size_t`) or when `st.st_size > SIZE_MAX` (would truncate the
  mapping length on 32-bit targets where the GGUF won't fit anyway).
  Falls through to the alloc+copy path with a clearer diagnostic.

Performance

- AddonJs.hpp / AddonCpp.hpp: switch the `runVlaModel` JS→C++ boundary to
  zero-copy. `typedArrayPtr<T>()` returns the underlying ArrayBuffer
  pointer + length via `js_get_typedarray_info` directly; `VlaModel::run`
  now takes raw `const T*` + lengths instead of `std::vector` copies.
  Drops one `std::vector<float>` copy per image (~3 MB each at
  3×512×512 f32) plus state/tokens/noise copies on every inference call.
  The mask still copies into a small `bool` buffer because the inference
  signature requires `const bool*`; the copy is 48 bytes so it's not
  worth restructuring smolvla_inference_with_timing's ABI.
- smolvla.cpp (ODE loop): hoist the per-step `te_single` allocation out
  of the loop and replace the 50-iteration `memcpy` broadcast with a
  doubling pattern (~7 memcpy calls instead of 50). Drop the redundant
  per-step KV cache re-upload — the KV inputs are uploaded once before
  the loop via `ggml_set_input`, and `ggml_backend_sched` preserves
  input-tagged tensors between `ggml_backend_sched_graph_compute` calls
  while the scheduler is not reset.

Not addressed in this commit

- The post-sg2 KV mini-graph re-extraction (16 separate per-layer
  graphs after the main SmolLM2 forward). Eliminating this requires
  pinning the K/V output tensors to a host-allocated CPU buffer so
  gallocr cannot overwrite them between compute calls — a deeper
  graph-allocator restructure that needs end-to-end validation against
  the PyTorch reference assertion. Tracking as a follow-up; the perf
  win there is large (roughly 2× SmolLM2 stage cost).

* fix: guard te_single broadcast against chunk_size=0

The doubling-pattern memcpy in the ODE loop unconditionally copied one
row of te_single before checking chunk_size. With chunk_size == 0 the
te_expanded buffer is empty and that initial memcpy would overflow.
The pre-existing per-step loop didn't have this hazard because the
for-loop simply didn't run.

In production chunk_size is always 50, but adding the guard keeps the
fast path defensive.

* feat: gate VLA GPU backend selection on Adreno < 800

Mirrors lib-infer-diffusion / qvac-lib-infer-llamacpp-llm: when the loaded
ggml plugins expose an Adreno GPU below the 800 series, fall back to the
CPU backend instead of `ggml_backend_dev_init`-ing it. The Qualcomm
OpenCL ICD on Adreno < 800 has incomplete OpenCL 3.0 support, broken
kernel compilation for several ggml ops, and shared-memory OOMs;
Vulkan on those generations also has driver issues that misbehave on
some ggml ops. Older Snapdragon devices that get added to the Device
Farm pool will now run on CPU rather than crashing on `init`.

Adds:
- `addon/src/utils/BackendSelection.{hpp,cpp}` with
  `parseAdrenoModel(description)` and `pickBestGpuDevice()`. Pure logic,
  testable without the JS bridge.
- `test/unit/test_backend_selection.cpp` exercising the Adreno parser
  on the description shapes ggml emits ("Adreno (TM) 830", "Adreno 740",
  case variations, non-Adreno).
- `smolvla_load_model` now uses `pickBestGpuDevice()` instead of
  `ggml_backend_dev_by_type(GPU)`, so Adreno < 800 falls through to
  the CPU init below.

Tests: 7/7 C++ unit (was 2), 6/6 JS unit, 4/4 integration; lint clean.

* feat: tag VLA perf-report rows with execution provider and ship a
       dedicated mobile perf artifact

Without these, the Adreno < 800 gate that just landed has no observable
signature in CI: a Samsung S22/S23 falling from Vulkan to CPU shows up
only as a 5–20× total_ms increase in the perf-report tables, with no
column saying *why*. You'd have to scrape stderr to attribute the
regression. This change closes both gaps.

(a) Backend-name plumbing

- `AddonCpp.hpp::VlaModel::backendName()` returns the ggml backend name
  ("CPU", "Vulkan", "OpenCL", "Metal", …) via `ggml_backend_name(...)`,
  with fallbacks for the unloaded / nameless cases.
- `AddonJs.hpp::getVlaBackendName(handle)` exposes it as a JS string
  binding; `binding.cpp` registers it.
- `index.js`: `_load()` reads `binding.getVlaBackendName(this._handle)`
  and stashes it in `this._backendName`; `get backendName()` exposes it;
  `unload()` clears it.
- `index.d.ts`: documented as `readonly backendName: string | null`.
- `test/integration/addon.test.js`: passes the value as
  `execution_provider` to `_perfReporter.record(...)`. Step Summary
  tables (and the JSON artifact) now show one of `CPU`/`Vulkan`/
  `OpenCL`/`Metal`/`unknown` per row, so a Vulkan→CPU regression is
  immediately visible.

(b) Dedicated mobile perf artifact

`integration-mobile-test-qvac-lib-infer-vla.yml` already uploaded
`devicefarm-logs-vla-…` containing everything Device Farm produced, but
the perf-report was buried in there as either a file in
customer-artifacts or a `[PERF_REPORT_*]` marker run on stdout. Added a
post-download step that:

- Walks the downloaded `devicefarm-logs/<platform>` tree.
- First tries to find `perf-report.json` shipped directly as a Device
  Farm file artifact (the test writes it to writable paths on Android
  / iOS, which Device Farm packs into customer-artifacts).
- Falls back to single-block `[PERF_REPORT_START]…[PERF_REPORT_END]`
  marker scraping.
- Falls back to chunked `[PERF_CHUNK:id:i:n]…` reassembly (sorts by
  index, validates the resulting JSON parses).
- Writes `mobile-perf/perf-report-<platform>.json` and uploads it as
  artifact `vla-perf-mobile-<platform>` (mirrors the desktop workflow's
  `vla-perf-<platform>-<arch>-<os>` naming for symmetry).
- Emits `::warning::` rather than failing the job when no perf data is
  found, so this never breaks an otherwise-green CI run.

Verified: lint clean, 6/6 JS unit, 4/4 JS integration, 7/7 C++ unit;
workflow YAML parses.

* fix: restore per-step KV cache upload in VLA ODE loop

Earlier perf #4 dropped the per-step ggml_backend_tensor_set for the
KV cache inputs on the assumption that ggml_set_input + the sched
allocator preserves input slots between ggml_backend_sched_graph_compute
calls. That holds for sched-managed multi-backend setups (where Tesla
T4 + Vulkan still produces cos_sim=0.99999 / max|Δ|=0.020 vs the
PyTorch reference), but it breaks two paths that actually run in CI:

  - CPU-only (alloc_staged_simple → ggml_gallocr → graph_compute)
    reuses input slots across compute calls, so steps 1–9 read garbage
    KV.
  - Adreno Vulkan on the Samsung S25 Ultra device farm slot has the
    same effective semantics (Adreno Vulkan driver) and crashed the
    addon test with the same divergence pattern.

Symptom on linux-x64 / linux-arm64 GitHub-hosted runners (CPU backend):
cos_sim = 0.3135 (threshold > 0.9), max|Δ| = 1.65 (threshold < 0.25).

Restoring the per-step upload unconditionally trades ~80 MB of H2D
traffic per inference on Vulkan-sched setups for correctness on every
backend. A conditional restore (skip on sched paths) would recover
that perf, but the branch isn't worth the correctness risk in this
PR.

* test: pin bare-tls/bare-https to 2.x for VLA mobile tests

bare-tls@3.0.0 (published 2026-04-28) flips on default certificate
verification with the commit "Load default trust store and reject
untrusted certificates by default", and bare-https@3.0.0 (same day)
widens its dep from bare-tls@^2.0.0 to ^3.0.0. With no populated
trust store inside the Bare Android/iOS runtime, every TLS handshake
to the SmolVLA presigned S3 URL fails:

  [vla-model] downloading: https://REMOVED-S3-BUCKET.s3.eu-central-1...
  [vla-model] retry 1/2 after 500ms (last: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: Handshake failed)
  not ok 1 - mobile model fetch failed
  runAddonTest: FAIL (3/4 passed)

Confirmed across both Pixel 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra on
runs 25066695862 and 25074966624. Same root cause would hit any
addon whose mobile suite installs after 2026-04-28; NMTCPP and
Parakeet's last green runs predate the publish.

Pin both packages to the highest published 2.x (2.2.3 / 2.1.3) via
npm overrides until upstream ships a CA-bundle-aware bare-tls. If
the npm install layer is what bare-pack resolves at app-build time,
this restores the previous (non-validating) behavior and unblocks
mobile CI; if BareKit's baked-in bare-tls wins instead, we'll see
the same handshake error and need a runtime-level fix.

* Revert "test: pin bare-tls/bare-https to 2.x for VLA mobile tests"

The override block placed in this addon's package.json had no effect
on the failing mobile run (25092791397 logcat shows the same
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED). The reason is that bare-link / bare-pack
both run from tetherto/qvac-test-addon-mobile's node_modules at
app-build time, and npm's `overrides` only apply in the root project
of `npm install` — when this addon is installed transitively from
that repo, the overrides are silently dropped.

The fix lives in tetherto/qvac-test-addon-mobile#38 instead. Reverting
here to keep dead config out of the addon.

* refactor: rename packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla -> packages/vla

Match the directory name to the npm package name (`@qvac/vla`),
mirroring the diffusion-cpp rename done in #1786. The previous
`packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla` carried over from the lib-infer-*
naming era and no longer matched what gets published.

Renamed:
  - packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla/                       -> packages/vla/
  - .github/workflows/on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml               -> on-pr-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/integration-mobile-test-...vla.yml -> integration-mobile-test-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/integration-test-...vla.yml      -> integration-test-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/on-merge-...vla.yml              -> on-merge-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/on-pr-close-...vla.yml           -> on-pr-close-vla.yml
  - .github/workflows/prebuilds-...vla.yml             -> prebuilds-vla.yml

`on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml` was the source of yesterday's pull_request_target
mix-up — its content is the VLA workflow but the filename meant
GitHub kept resolving the OCR workflow from main on PR events.
Renaming it to `on-pr-vla.yml` fixes that.

Updated path/slug references inside workflows + package metadata:
  - `packages/qvac-lib-infer-vla` -> `packages/vla`
  - artifact prefix `qvac-lib-infer-vla-` -> `vla-`
  - `package-slug: qvac-lib-infer-vla` -> `vla`
  - `package.json` `repository.directory` + `homepage`
  - `vcpkg.json` top-level `name`
  - perf reporter addon name in `test/integration/addon.test.js`
  - SKILL.md references in `packages/ocr-onnx/.agent/`

Kept (mirroring diffusion-cpp's rename):
  - C++ internal symbols (`BARE_MODULE("qvac-lib-infer-vla", ...)`,
    `add_bare_module(qvac-lib-infer-vla ...)` in CMakeLists). These
    are stable native-binding identifiers, not paths.

* refactor: keep on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml filename until tmp-vla merges to main

Reverting just the `on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml` -> `on-pr-vla.yml` rename
from the previous commit. Reason: GitHub Actions requires
`workflow_dispatch` workflow files to exist on the default branch
to be registered; until tmp-vla lands in main, the new
`on-pr-vla.yml` is unknown to the API and `gh workflow run` 404s.

Keeping the file at the historical `on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml` path on
tmp-vla means:
  - `gh workflow run on-pr-ocr-onnx.yml --ref tmp-vla` continues to
    work (it was the dispatch target throughout this branch).
  - The file's *content* is still the VLA workflow as before; only
    the filename is preserved for dispatch compatibility.

The proper rename to `on-pr-vla.yml` should be a follow-up PR opened
after tmp-vla is merged into main, mirroring the timing diffusion-cpp
used in #1786 (the rename happened on main, where its workflows were
already registered). Other workflow renames in this branch
(integration-test-vla, on-merge-vla, prebuilds-vla, etc.) are kept
because they're consumed via `uses:` from the dispatch workflow, not
dispatched directly — file existence on the default branch isn't
required for those.

* feat: run VLA integration tests on CPU and GPU side-by-side

Add a `backend` matrix dimension to integration-test-vla and
integration-mobile-test-vla so every GPU-equipped runner is
exercised twice — once with the runner's preferred accelerator
(Metal / Vulkan) and once forced onto CPU. Result: a clean
per-platform "GPU vs CPU" delta in the perf-report artifact set
for the same hardware, the same model, the same test vector.

Plumbing:
  - smolvla.cpp: read VLA_FORCE_CPU env var (any non-empty,
    non-"0" value) before vla_backend_selection::pickBestGpuDevice.
    When set, skip GPU pick and fall through to the existing CPU
    init path. One getenv + one if-guard.
  - integration-test-vla.yml: dual rows for ai-run-linux-gpu /
    mac-mini-m4 / ai-run-windows11-gpu (the runners with a real
    GPU). Linux arm64 + Linux x64 hosted + macOS x64 hosted have
    no GPU prebuild; one row each (auto == cpu effectively).
    `VLA_FORCE_CPU` plumbed via env: matrix.backend == 'cpu'.
    perf-report artifact name now includes the backend so both
    rows of the same os land separate files.
  - integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: 4 rows total (Android+iOS
    × auto+cpu). The bundled smolvla-urls.json now carries a
    `forceCpu` flag derived from matrix.backend, since env vars
    don't propagate to BareKit's child process the way they do
    on desktop. devicefarm-logs and vla-perf-mobile artifact
    names include the backend.
  - addon.test.js: when running on mobile, read forceCpu from the
    bundled config and set process.env.VLA_FORCE_CPU before
    VlaModel.load(). The C++ side reads the env identically on
    every platform.

Cost:
  - +5 desktop matrix rows (-> 10 total). Three new GPU runners
    × ~5 min each = ~15 extra runner-minutes per CI cycle.
  - +2 mobile matrix rows (-> 4 total). Doubles Device Farm spend
    for VLA mobile, but VLA mobile only ran one config before so
    this is the first time we'll see CPU vs GPU on phone.

Notable: Pixel 9 Pro's Adreno 730 already falls through to CPU
under `auto` (gated by Adreno < 800 in BackendSelection.cpp), so
its `cpu` row is redundant in practice. Kept for matrix symmetry
and uniform artifact set; can be pruned later if Device Farm
spend matters.

* refactor: run VLA CPU/GPU comparison in one process per runner

Replace the workflow-level `backend: [auto, cpu]` matrix with an
explicit `backend` argument on `VlaModel.load()`. The integration
test now loads + runs the model twice in a single Bare process —
once on the runner's preferred backend (Metal/Vulkan/Adreno/…) and
once forced onto CPU — so each CI runner produces one perf-report
artifact carrying both rows. Halves CI runner-minutes, drops the
duplicated model download/install, and gives a single artifact per
host with a clean side-by-side comparison.

JS surface:
  - `VlaModel.load({ backend: 'auto' | 'cpu' })`. Default `'auto'`.
  - Plumbed into `binding.createVlaModel(ggufPath, backend)` →
    `VlaModel(ggufPath, forceCpu)` → `smolvla_load_model(..., force_cpu)`.

C++:
  - `smolvla_load_model` gains an explicit `bool force_cpu` parameter;
    `pickBestGpuDevice` is skipped when set. The `VLA_FORCE_CPU` env-var
    fallback is removed — the param is the only knob now.

Test:
  - addon.test.js loops `['auto', 'cpu']` inside the same e2e test.
    Each iteration owns its own VlaModel and `unload()`s before the
    next one starts, so memory-constrained mobile devices don't hold
    two copies of the weights at once. Two perf-report rows per
    artifact, distinguished by both `test` name and `execution_provider`.

CI:
  - integration-test-vla.yml drops the `backend` matrix dimension —
    7 rows total instead of 10 (3 GPU runners × 2 + 4 CPU-only × 1).
  - integration-mobile-test-vla.yml drops the dual-row mobile matrix
    (4 → 2). The `forceCpu` field in `smolvla-urls.json` is gone since
    the bundled config no longer needs to communicate the backend choice.
  - Artifact names lose the `-${backend}` suffix.

Verified locally on linux-x64 (Vulkan): auto=2.55s, cpu=10.4s; both
rows quality-clean (cos sim ≈ 1.0 vs PyTorch reference).

* fix: surface VLA mobile perf-report (mirror OCR's working path)

Two pre-existing breakages converged to give us empty
`vla-perf-mobile-*` artifacts on every prior run:

1. addon.test.js's mobile inline reporter only flushed via
   `process.on('exit')`. On Device Farm the BareKit-hosted process is
   torn down before that handler fires, so the
   `[PERF_REPORT_START]…[PERF_REPORT_END]` markers never reach
   logcat / iOS console — and the perf-report.json file is never
   written to the device.
2. The workflow's inline Node extractor only handled clean text. It
   didn't strip the Android logcat line prefix
   (`MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm PID TID …:`) or the BareKit ReactNativeJS
   bridge wrapper (`'[Bare]', '...'`), so even when chunked markers
   *did* land in a log they failed to parse.

Replicate OCR's canonical mobile perf-report path:

- addon.test.js: after each `_perfReporter.record(...)` on mobile,
  call `writeReport()` + `writeToConsole()` immediately, mirroring
  packages/ocr-onnx/test/integration/utils.js. The exit-handler
  flush stays for desktop. Each call is idempotent — overwriting
  the file with N records is fine since the report is cumulative.
- integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: replace the inline Node
  extractor with a call to `scripts/perf-report/extract-from-log.js`
  (the same script OCR mobile uses). It already handles logcat
  prefix stripping, ReactNativeJS bridge unwrapping, JS-string
  `\'` escapes, chunk reassembly, and `schema_version` validation.

Verified locally (linux-x64) that the test still emits the
two-backend perf-report with both rows; quality unchanged.

* fix: render VLA quality Step Summary table correctly

Two bugs in the quality table emitted to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY:

1. The `Max |Δ|` and `Mean |Δ|` column labels contain literal pipe
   characters that markdown parses as column separators, so the
   3-column quality table was rendered as if it had 5 columns. Escape
   the pipes (`\|`) so they render as text.

2. Cosine similarity was rendered with `(v * 100).toFixed(1) + '%'`,
   which collapses any value at or above ~0.99995 to "100.0%" — losing
   the precision that makes the metric useful for spotting regressions.
   Add a `cos-sim` column unit that prints raw `toFixed(8)`
   (e.g. `0.99999999`) so identical-looking near-perfect runs stay
   distinguishable.

Applies to both the desktop reporter (writeStepSummary) and the
mobile render-step-summary script.

* feat: render mobile VLA perf-report into GitHub Step Summary

The mobile job uploaded `vla-perf-mobile-Android` for the first time
on commit 1d605a2d, but nothing was rendering it into the Actions
Step Summary tab — so the per-device CPU-vs-GPU table only showed
up for desktop runners. Wire `scripts/perf-report/render-step-summary.js`
into the mobile workflow so each device's report (Pixel 9 Pro,
Galaxy S25 Ultra, …) emits the same compact markdown table the
desktop reporter writes.

`extract-from-log.js` writes per-device subdirs when Device Farm
runs more than one phone in the pool, so the new step loops over
every `performance-report.json` under `mobile-perf/` and appends a
fresh table per device, matching OCR's mobile pattern.

* feat: optimize VLA inference with op fusion and KV-projection hoist

Three measurable graph-level changes in `build_transformer_layer` and
`build_denoise_step_graph`, validated against the existing PyTorch
reference (`pt_actions_libero_fixed.json`, 350 values):

- **Hoist cross-attn K/V projections out of the ODE loop.** The action
  expert's `k_proj`/`v_proj` against the VLM KV cache only depend on
  inputs that are invariant across the 10 ODE denoise steps. Project
  once after SmolLM2 forward and overwrite `kv_keys_data[i]` /
  `kv_vals_data[i]` for cross-attn layers in place — eliminates 16
  layers x 9 redundant steps = 144 matmul-pairs per inference.
- **Replace `scale -> +mask -> soft_max` triples with `ggml_soft_max_ext`**
  at the 4 live attention sites. Bit-for-bit equivalent, fewer graph
  nodes, helps backends with non-trivial kernel-launch overhead.
- **Replace `silu(gate) * up` with `ggml_swiglu_split`** at the 2 live
  SwiGLU MLP sites.

Final cumulative speed (warm bench, median of iter 2-5, vs baseline tip):

| Backend | total baseline | total final | Delta |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| auto (Vulkan / Intel Iris Xe) | 2345 ms | 2247 ms | -4.2% |
| cpu | 10084 ms | 9921 ms | -1.6% |

ODE inner loop specifically: -6.9% auto, -2.6% cpu - that's where the
cross-attn KV hoist lands. Accuracy unchanged: max|delta|=0.0032 auto /
0.0009 cpu, cos=1.00000.

Also adds:

- `test/bench.js`: warm-bench harness (loads model once, runs N
  inferences, reports per-stage min/med/max). Single-run integration
  timings showed up to 2x variance from system load on this dev box,
  unsuitable for A/B comparison.
- `test/unit/test_flash_attn.cpp`: gtest comparing `ggml_flash_attn_ext`
  against the unfused reference on synthetic Q/K/V at the SmolLM2
  prefill shapes. Documents the **F16-mask + `GGML_PREC_F32` recipe**
  required to call flash-attn correctly (F32 mask is silently accepted
  but produces structured-but-shifted output, cos~0.28). The recipe
  works correctness-wise; it's currently 3x slower than the unfused
  matmul on Intel Iris Xe Vulkan (no matrix cores) but plausibly faster
  on Adreno/Metal. To be re-evaluated on the mobile device farm before
  enabling, ideally gated on `has_matrix_cores`.
- `opt.md`: per-optimization log with implementation, accuracy, speed,
  and the failed/skipped attempts (drop-GQA-repeat broke CPU mul_mat
  broadcast; time-MLP split linears regress on strided weight matmul;
  flash-attn-ext requires F16 mask, see above).

* fix[ci]: address HIGH security findings in vla CI workflows

- prebuilds-vla.yml: drop unconditional `printenv` step that dumped
  AWS_OIDC_ROLE_ARN, NPM_TOKEN, PAT_TOKEN, and other resolved env-var
  secrets to public CI logs.
- integration-test-vla.yml: drop `npm config list` from the run-state
  diagnostics; it printed the just-written .npmrc, leaking the npm and
  GPR _authToken values. Replaced `npm list` with `npm list --depth=0`
  to keep dependency visibility without the dump.
- integration-test-vla.yml, cpp-tests-vla.yml: route ${{ github.token }}
  through a `GH_TOKEN` env var instead of inline shell interpolation in
  `git config` invocations, so it gets standard secret masking and
  doesn't end up in the runner process listing.

* chore: drop opt.md, untrack vla performance-report.json

- opt.md was a 497-line scratch log of the VLA op-fusion / KV-projection
  optimization work. The summary belongs in the PR description, not in
  the repo tree.
- packages/vla/test/results/performance-report.json is regenerated by
  every CI run and uploaded as a workflow artifact; it has no business
  living in source control. Gitignore the directory and stop tracking
  the file (file kept on disk for any local working sessions).

* fix: address review quick-wins for vla addon

Correctness:
- action_dim default is now 7 across the C++ hparams struct, the GGUF
  fallback, and generate_reference.py. The integration test now hard-fails
  on a (chunk_size, action_dim) shape mismatch instead of skipping the
  PyTorch quality gate with a comment, so a regression in either side
  shows up as a failed assertion. Added an explicit hparams unit-test
  assertion for action_dim.
- mmap loader bails out cleanly when ggml_backend_tensor_alloc fails for
  any tensor: it frees the buffer, munmaps the file, and falls through
  to the alloc+copy path instead of leaving partially-wired tensors with
  invalid pointers and pretending success.
- smolvla_inference_with_timing rejects out-of-range n_images, lang_len,
  and state_dim before they feed into n_visual_tokens / prefix_len /
  tensor sizing, where bad values would underflow int math and cause
  out-of-bounds writes during graph build.

Security:
- mmap loader validates every per-tensor (offset, nbytes) against the
  mapped region before wiring, so a crafted GGUF cannot point a tensor
  past the end of the mapping.
- Mobile workflow builds smolvla-urls.json with `jq` so the presigned
  URL cannot break out of its JSON string, and replaces the partial
  `head -c 120` echo (which leaked the bucket host and X-Amz-Credential
  prefix) with a byte-count confirmation.

Performance:
- Precompute the sinusoidal time-embedding period table at load time.
  The per-ODE-step embedding now does 360 multiply / sinf / cosf calls
  instead of paying for 360 powf evaluations per step (~3,600 powf calls
  per inference eliminated). Hint the kernel with MADV_WILLNEED on the
  zero-copy mmap path so first inference doesn't demand-page through
  the 2+ GB GGUF.

Dead code:
- Drop the unused smolvla_rope helper (whose comment claimed RoPE mode 0
  while the body called NEOX), the unused to_bf16_precision helper, and
  the leaky run_graph stub in test_flash_attn.cpp.

* refactor: adopt QvacErrorBase / ERR_CODES pattern in vla addon

Every other inference addon (parakeet, whispercpp, nmtcpp, ocr-onnx,
onnx-tts, llamacpp-llm, …) ships a lib/error.js with a package-specific
QvacErrorBase subclass and a frozen ERR_CODES map registered with
@qvac/error. VLA was the only one still throwing bare Error / TypeError /
RangeError, which prevents callers from branching on err.code and
breaks the localized message registry.

Adds packages/vla/lib/error.js with QvacErrorAddonVla and 9 codes in
the previously-unused 30001..31000 range:

  FAILED_TO_LOAD_WEIGHTS, FAILED_TO_DESTROY, MODEL_NOT_FOUND,
  INVALID_CONFIG, MISSING_REQUIRED_PARAMETER, INVALID_INPUT,
  JOB_ALREADY_RUNNING, INSTANCE_NOT_INITIALIZED, MODEL_UNLOADED.

index.js threads structured errors through the public surface: input
validation in validateRunInput now throws INVALID_INPUT; constructor
files.model checks raise MISSING_REQUIRED_PARAMETER / INVALID_CONFIG;
load() backend validation raises INVALID_CONFIG; binding load failures
are wrapped as FAILED_TO_LOAD_WEIGHTS with `cause` preserving the
underlying error; binding.destroyVlaModel failures during unload now
raise FAILED_TO_DESTROY instead of being swallowed; run-before-load and
run-while-busy raise INSTANCE_NOT_INITIALIZED and JOB_ALREADY_RUNNING;
in-flight jobs cancelled by unload see MODEL_UNLOADED on the failure
side. ERR_CODES and QvacErrorAddonVla are exported alongside VlaModel,
matching the OCR / parakeet pattern.

index.d.ts gains the QvacErrorAddonVla class and ERR_CODES literal-type
map. package.json declares @qvac/error ^0.1.0 as a dependency and adds
lib/ to the published files list.

Existing test assertions on /non-empty array/ and /absolute path/
continue to match the new structured messages — verified by running
test:unit (6/6 pass), test:integration sans GGUF (4/4 pass), and
test:dts.

* test: switch vla integration fixture to vision-Q8-quantized GGUF

Bumps the integration-test model from smolvla-libero-f32-fixed.gguf
(2026-04-21) to smolvla-libero-vision-q8.gguf (2026-04-30) — same
LIBERO checkpoint with Q8_0 quantization on the vision-encoder linear
weights. Cuts vision-stage time roughly in half on Vulkan and ~4× on
CPU (see test/results/perf reports).

Q8 on the vision encoder occasionally flips the gripper dim (action[6],
near-binary in [-1, 1]) at decision boundaries on the synthetic gray
fixture — measured max |Δ| ~0.6 on Vulkan, ~1.2 on CPU. Position /
rotation dims stay tight (mean |Δ| ≈ 0.01). LIBERO closed-loop eval
shows equivalent task success vs the F32 GGUF (60% vs 70% across 30
episodes — within statistical noise). Tolerances loosen to max |Δ| 1.5
to absorb gripper sign flips and cosine >0.95 as the structural sanity
check.

Updates the S3 path in integration-test-vla.yml and the mobile presign
script to match.

* fix[ci]: prevent artifact poisoning in vla integration workflows

CodeQL (rule "Artifact poisoning") flagged 19 alerts on the VLA
workflows: actions/download-artifact was writing directly into the
workspace path (packages/vla/prebuilds, addon/packages/vla/prebuilds),
and subsequent steps (npm install, npm run bundle, npm run build:pack,
xcodebuild, npm run test:integration, …) execute code from that same
workspace. Combined with workflow_dispatch.inputs being user-controlled,
that's a path for a poisoned artifact to land code that then runs with
the workflow's secrets.

Fix mirrors the pattern PR #1728 applied to OCR / parakeet / nmtcpp /
diffusion / etc.: download into a runner.temp staging directory, then
add an explicit copy step to move the contents into the workspace.
CodeQL recognises the explicit cp as a maintainer-controlled boundary
and stops the dataflow trace.

Touches three download-artifact sites:
- integration-test-vla.yml: prebuilds → workspace
- integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: Android prebuilds → workspace
- integration-mobile-test-vla.yml: iOS prebuilds → workspace

* feat: add LIBERO sim eval driver + QVAC HTTP bridge under packages/vla/sim

Drops in a self-contained eval pipeline that scores SmolVLA on LIBERO
through either the QVAC GGUF addon (over HTTP) or the original PyTorch
policy, so the two are directly comparable on the same env seeds and
noise sequence.

Files:
  packages/vla/sim/eval_libero_sim.py    Python entry, --backend {qvac,pytorch}
  packages/vla/sim/qvac_http_policy.py   lerobot SmolVLAPolicy subclass that
                                         routes the forward pass over HTTP
  packages/vla/sim/smolvla_http.py       binary-protocol HTTP client
  packages/vla/sim/server/server.js      Bare HTTP host for @qvac/vla
  packages/vla/sim/server/package.json   server runtime deps
  packages/vla/sim/requirements.txt      pinned Python deps (lerobot, libero,
                                         robosuite, mujoco, etc.)
  packages/vla/sim/README.md             setup + run + compare runbook

Verified end-to-end on libero_spatial (10 tasks x 3 episodes = 30):
  QVAC F32 GGUF (Vulkan): 18/30 = 60.0%
  QVAC Q8 vision (Vulkan): 21/30 = 70.0%
  PyTorch (CUDA):          21/30 = 70.0%

All within the n=30 noise band; Q8-vision matches PyTorch task-for-task on
9/10. lerobot itself is unmodified — the bridge works through its
public make_policy extension point + a Python class swap.

* chore: drop new-addon skill from vla branch

The new-addon skill scaffolding (added in earlier tmp-vla commits) is
unrelated to the SmolVLA addon work in PR #1784 and was being carried
along by accident. Removing it from this branch so the PR diff focuses
on the vla addon and the LIBERO sim eval driver only.

The skill itself can be re-introduced on its own branch / PR if still
wanted.

* chore: drop test_flash_attn.cpp + tighten the comment that referenced it

The attention path uses unfused mul_mat → soft_max_ext → mul_mat. The
flash-attn alternative was ~3× slower per layer on Intel Iris Xe Vulkan
when measured, so we never wired it into the production path. The test
existed only to keep a "side-by-side correctness vs the unfused path"
harness around in case we wanted to re-evaluate flash-attn on Adreno or
Mali later.

Removing 389 lines of test code that exercises a dead path; the pointer
in smolvla.cpp's attention block is rewritten so it captures the
"measured 3× slower on Iris Xe" finding without referring to the
deleted file.

* fix: address security + correctness findings from code review

Security (4):
* sim/server/server.js: cap request bodies at 32 MB (prevents heap-exhaust DoS
  via unbounded POST). Reject early in the data-event handler with
  req.destroy() instead of buffering until oom.
* sim/server/server.js: validate every header field that flows into a typed
  array length (state_dim, n_images, img_w, img_h, n_tokens). Without bounds,
  a crafted client could ask for state_dim=2**30 and allocate gigabytes
  before the C++ side even saw the request. Also bound the JSON header_len
  itself to 64 KB and add a body-truncation check after the per-section reads.
* sim/server/server.js: drop model_path from /info response — it leaked the
  on-disk GGUF location to anything that could reach the port.
* sim/server/server.js: adopt the published @qvac/vla async API
  (`new VlaModel({ files: { model: [...] } })` + `await model.load()` +
  `await model.run(...)`). The previous code used an older sync signature
  that happened to match the version installed on the dev server but does
  not match the API this PR ships, so /predict would 500 on every request
  against a fresh install. Server now boots inside an async IIFE that awaits
  load() before listen() begins accepting connections.

Correctness (3):
* smolvla.cpp: smolvla_create now calls smolvla_free_model() before delete on
  load failure. The struct has no destructor, so the previous `delete model`
  leaked any backend buffers / mmap regions / ggml contexts / backend handles
  that smolvla_load_model had already initialised before failing.
* smolvla.cpp: replace the inline ODE-loop dispatch
  (`sg3.sched ? sched_compute : graph_compute(backend_cpu, ...)`) with the
  shared compute_staged helper. Avoids the foot-gun of hardcoding backend_cpu
  on the fallback branch — if alloc_staged_sched ever returned with
  sched==nullptr on a GPU build, the inline form would silently fire CPU
  compute on GPU-allocated tensors.
* sim/qvac_http_policy.py: surface a clear RuntimeError when the batch has
  no camera images, instead of crashing on `images_chw[-1]` while filling
  dummy frames for empty cameras.

Verified:
* C++ rebuild + integration test: 4/4 tests pass, 41/41 asserts. Quality
  numbers unchanged (Vulkan max|Δ|=0.588 cos=0.997; CPU max|Δ|=1.131
  cos=0.989).

Two reviewer findings were verified as non-issues and intentionally not
fixed: the pos_ids = -1 bug doesn't trigger because n_images>=1 is enforced
upstream (so n_visual_tokens >= 64, so pos >= 64 before the lang loop), and
the GGUF mmap data_offset overflow is already caught by the existing strict
`<` check against st.st_size.

* fix: server.js — use response.await() pattern + opts.stats:true

Two issues introduced by the previous review-fix commit (f9d0f4d3):

1. `model.run()` returns a QvacResponse, not `{ actions, stats }`. The
   destructure was awaiting the call once and pulling `actions`/`stats`
   directly off the response object, but those fields don't exist on
   QvacResponse — they live behind `response.await()`. Result: every POST
   /predict crashed encodeResponse with `Cannot read properties of
   undefined (reading 'buffer')`. Switching to the canonical two-step
…

…l registry PR lands

  Drops the previous shortcut of pointing the addon's vcpkg
  `default-registry` baseline at my personal fork. Instead, the
  vcpkg port files being added in the companion
  qvac-registry-vcpkg PR tetherto#169 are vendored into the addon as an
  overlay port so CI can validate the addon-side migration
  end-to-end against the WIP port without depending on the fork
  staying alive.

  Layout: vcpkg-overlays/whisper-cpp/ — verbatim copy of the
  qvac-registry-vcpkg PR tetherto#169 port tree (portfile.cmake +
  vcpkg.json + patches/0001-move-gnuinstalldirs-before-
  add-subdirectory-src.patch). vcpkg-configuration.json:
  default-registry is restored to tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg
  at HEAD (6df36b4f), and a new top-level "overlay-ports"
  entry points at the vendored copy.

  Process this unblocks (per Gustavo's merge protocol):
    1. THIS commit  — addon validates against WIP port via
       overlay (no fork dependency).
    2. CI greens on the addon PR — proves the migration is
       safe.
    3. Merge order is now flexible: registry PR tetherto#169 (and any
       follow-up registry PRs) can be merged independently.
    4. After registry merges, the next commit on the addon
       branch removes vcpkg-overlays/whisper-cpp/, bumps the
       default-registry baseline to the new tetherto/main SHA,
       and re-runs CI to prove the addon still resolves the
       port from the merged registry.
    5. Then the addon PR is merged.

Wires Zbig9000/qvac-ext-ggml@QVAC-18992-merge-ggml-from-whisper-cpp@d39c0d29
(qvac-ext-ggml PR tetherto#13) into the addon's vcpkg-configuration.json as an
overlay port, alongside the existing whisper-cpp overlay (registry PR tetherto#169).

This lets the addon's full CI matrix exercise BOTH:
  - whisper-cpp 1.8.5 from registry PR tetherto#169 (already present)
  - ggml-speech 2026-05-26 from qvac-ext-ggml PR tetherto#13 (new)

before either underlying PR is merged to its respective registry/branch.

Overlay diff vs registry's ggml-speech@2026-04-09 tetherto#4:
  - REF/SHA512 → PR tetherto#13 HEAD (d39c0d29)
  - new vulkan dep on spirv-headers
  - new patch 0001-ggml-vulkan-find-spirv-headers.patch wiring SPIRV-Headers
    into ggml-vulkan (PR tetherto#13's v0.10.2 sync adds #include <spirv/unified1/spirv.hpp>
    but upstream ggml-vulkan CMakeLists.txt never finds SPIRV-Headers; the
    same fix should be pushed upstream later and the patch dropped)
  - version-date / port-version bumped so vcpkg picks overlay over registry

Local validation with both overlays active:

… feature + GPU backend identity (QVAC-19236, QVAC-18992, QVAC-18993) (#2270)

* transcription-whispercpp 0.9.0: ggml-speech migration + metal feature + GPU backend identity in runtime stats

  Three ticket deliverables combined into a single coordinated 0.9.0
  release of the addon (paired with the whisper-cpp 1.8.5 + metal-feature
  port rewrite landing in qvac-registry-vcpkg companion PR):

  QVAC-18992 — Migrate to use ggml speech branch
  ----------------------------------------------
  Addon now consumes `whisper-cpp 1.8.5#0` which links the system-
  installed `ggml-speech` (port-version 4) via WHISPER_USE_SYSTEM_GGML=ON.
  Whisper + parakeet + tts all share the same libqvac-speech-ggml-*
  binary set on every triplet (was: whisper-cpp brought a separate
  libqvac-ggml-* set).

  CMakeLists.txt: rewritten to mirror transcription-parakeet exactly —
  two-branch BACKEND_DL_LIBS / BACKEND_DL_LOOSE_SOS collection so the
  per-arch CPU IMPORTED targets and the MODULE Vulkan/OpenCL .so files
  (which ggml-config deliberately omits from GGML_AVAILABLE_BACKENDS)
  both get staged into prebuilds/<bare_target>/<module_name>/ for the
  runtime ggml_backend_load_all_from_path() scan. The old whisper-
  specific find_library fallback (created SHARED IMPORTED targets from
  raw .so paths to work around bundled-ggml's MODULE-target export gap)
  is removed — ggml-speech port surfaces what it can, BACKEND_DL_LOOSE_SOS
  catches the rest.

  vcpkg-configuration.json default-registry baseline pinned to my fork
  for CI; will be re-pinned to tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg HEAD after
  the companion vcpkg-registry PR merges.

  vcpkg.json override bumped to whisper-cpp 1.8.5#0.

  QVAC-19236 — Expose backend selection as features
  -------------------------------------------------
  Addon's vcpkg.json now selects whisper-cpp[metal] for osx (was
  unconditionally on via the portfile; now declarative). iOS dep entry
  stays without the [metal] feature until the separate iOS
  Metal/MTLCompiler XPC crash is investigated — iOS continues to ship
  on the CPU backend by simply not asking for [metal].

  QVAC-18993 — Android dynamic-backend + per-device GPU assertion
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  Added a one-shot device introspection step at model load time:
  `WhisperModel::captureActiveBackendInfo()` enumerates the ggml
  backend registry (after ensureBackendsLoadedAndroid() loads the
  dynamic .so modules on Android) and records the first GPU/IGPU
  device's identity + memory snapshot. Result is surfaced through
  the existing runtimeStats() pipeline as three new keys (the
  RuntimeStats variant only takes double|int64_t, so backend
  identity is encoded as a stable numeric enum):

    gpuBackendId   0=CPU, 1=Metal, 2=Vulkan, 3=OpenCL, 4=CUDA, 99=other
    gpuMemTotalMb  -1 when the device does not expose memory accounting
    gpuMemFreeMb   -1 when the device does not expose memory accounting

  The selected backend's full name + device description are also
  logged once via QLOG(INFO) so they're recoverable from the Android
  Device-Farm logcat capture for the human-readable assertion side
  (S25 -> "OpenCL" / "Adreno (TM) …", Pixel 9 -> "Vulkan" / "Mali-…").

  Mobile-perf-runner.js now asserts the new keys are present and, on
  Android with use_gpu=true, that gpuBackendId resolves to either
  Vulkan (2) or OpenCL (3) — the union covers both Device-Farm device
  families without needing a per-device branch from inside the bare
  spec (the device capabilities split lives in the wdio config, not
  here).

  index.d.ts: extended RuntimeStats with the three new keys + the
  enum documentation. CHANGELOG.md: consolidated 0.9.0 entry covering
  all three tickets.

  Verified locally on linux-x64:
    - npx bare-make generate succeeds (whisper-cpp 1.8.5 + ggml-speech
      2026-04-09#4 resolve cleanly via my fork baseline)
    - npx bare-make build succeeds (.bare module + libqvac-speech-
      ggml-cpu.a + libqvac-speech-ggml-vulkan.a linked into prebuilds)
    - test:cpp passes: 106 / 107 (1 streaming case skipped, pre-
      existing; 0 failures, 0 regressions). Backend capture verified
      from the test log: `Active GPU backend: id=2 name='Vulkan'
      device='NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090' mem_total_mb=32607 mem_free_mb=31342`.

* transcription-whispercpp: clang-format + clang-tidy fixes on captureActiveBackendInfo()

  Caught locally by running the exact CI cpp-lint commands against
  this branch:

    git-clang-format --binary clang-format --extensions c,cc,cpp,...
      --diff "$(git merge-base HEAD upstream/main)" -- packages/transcription-whispercpp

    clang-tidy-19 -p build addon/src/model-interface/whisper.cpp/WhisperModel.cpp
      --header-filter='^.../packages/transcription-whispercpp/addon/...'
      --warnings-as-errors='*'

  Two findings, both in code added by the previous commit fab6888:

  1. clang-format (8 hunks): include ordering (now grouped
     alphabetically per the project's IncludeBlocks rule),
     allman-style brace wrapping around the single-statement
     `if` bodies in gpuBackendIdFromName() and on the
     `dev == nullptr` early-continue in captureActiveBackendInfo(),
     and the column-limit-driven multi-line spread on the
     std::transform() call and the two
     gpu_mem_{total,free}_mb_ ternary assignments.

  2. clang-tidy readability-identifier-naming on the new
     `K_BYTES_PER_MB` local constexpr: project convention enforced
     by .clang-tidy is `kBytesPerMb` (lower-camel with a `k`
     prefix) for function-scope constants, not SCREAMING_SNAKE.
     Renamed to kBytesPerMb at all three use sites.

  Re-validated after the fix:
    - clang-format --diff: no remaining diffs
    - clang-tidy-19 --warnings-as-errors='*': 0 user-code errors
      (4137 warnings, all suppressed as non-user-code per the
       header-filter regex)
    - npx bare-make generate + build + install: clean
    - npm run test:cpp: 107 / 107 pass (kBytesPerMb rename is a
      pure identifier change; behaviour is byte-for-byte identical
      and the Vulkan backend identity log still reports
      `Active GPU backend: id=2 name='Vulkan'
       device='NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090'
       mem_total_mb=32607 mem_free_mb=31178`).
    - npm run test:dts: clean
    - npm run lint (standardJS): clean
    - npm run test:unit / test:integration / test:integration:multiple
      / test:integration:chunking / test:integration:accuracy
      (multi-lang incl. Japanese WER 0.00%) / test:integration:live-stream-simultion
      / test:unit:reload:esraw / test:integration:model-file-validation
      / test:integration:corrupted-model — all pass with the new
      formatted source.

  Confirms the new captureActiveBackendInfo() introduced in
  fab6888 would have been caught by CI on the first push;
  fixing locally before re-trigger avoids one CI cycle.

* transcription-whispercpp: bump ggml-speech overlay to PR #13 HEAD e31785e4

Picks up the Apple-Metal build fix pushed to qvac-ext-ggml PR #13
(restores the lost 'typedef struct {' before
ggml_metal_kargs_supertonic_depthwise_1d in src/ggml-metal/ggml-metal-impl.h).

Without this bump the Apple-Metal prebuild matrix (darwin-arm64,
ios-arm64, ios-arm64-simulator, ios-x64-simulator) fails to compile
against PR #13's source.

Local linux-x64 re-validation: vcpkg downloads the new tarball
(e31785e4), applies the spirv-headers patch, builds clean, 107/107
C++ tests pass.

* vcpkg-overlays: sync ggml-speech overlay to registry post-merge state; bump version>=ggml-speech in whisper-cpp overlay

Two related overlay corrections so the overlay tree is a verbatim
mirror of what qvac-registry-vcpkg PR #169 will publish:

1. vcpkg-overlays/ggml-speech/ was still pinned to the pre-merge fork
   (Zbig9000/qvac-ext-ggml@QVAC-18992-merge-ggml-from-whisper-cpp@e31785e4,
   version-date 2026-05-26#0) from the days before tetherto/qvac-ext-ggml
   PR #13 merged. Synced wholesale to qvac-registry-vcpkg/ports/ggml-speech:
     REF      e31785e4 -> c9126afc (merge commit of PR #13 on @speech)
     SHA512   <fork SHA> -> <tetherto SHA>
     HEAD_REF QVAC-18992-merge-ggml-from-whisper-cpp -> speech
     version-date 2026-05-26#0 -> 2026-05-27#0
     description updated to drop "LOCAL OVERLAY" language

   Source-wise this is a no-op (c9126afc on @speech contains e31785e4
   as its single PR-side parent, so the tree is identical), but the
   overlay must declare the exact REF/version that will land in the
   registry so the build is provably what gets published.

2. vcpkg-overlays/whisper-cpp/vcpkg.json: version>=ggml-speech bumped
   2026-04-09#4 -> 2026-05-27. whisper-cpp@1.8.5 only works against the
   new ggml-speech (v0.10.2 vendored sources, new symbol set,
   spirv-headers Vulkan wiring), so the constraint must reflect that
   minimum. In practice the resolver always picked 2026-05-27 from the
   addon's own override, so this is metadata-only and not a behavior
   change.

Local validation on x64-linux (vulkan feature) with synced overlays:
  - bare-make generate resolves ggml-speech[core,vulkan]@2026-05-27
    (was 2026-05-26 with the stale overlay) + whisper-cpp[core,vulkan]@1.8.5
    + spirv-headers (transitive from ggml-speech vulkan dep)
  - build links clean
  - npm run test:cpp        -> 107/107 pass
  - npm run test:unit       -> 30/30 pass
  - npm run test:dts        -> clean

* vcpkg-overlays/ggml-speech: pin spirv-headers vulkan dep to version>=1.4.341.0

Mirrors the same fix in qvac-registry-vcpkg PR #169 so the overlay
stays a verbatim copy of what the registry will publish. Without a
version>= constraint, the resolved spirv-headers version depends
entirely on the consumer's microsoft/vcpkg baseline; 1.4.341.0 is
the version already used by qvac-fabric.

Local validation on x64-linux: vcpkg upgrades spirv-headers from the
addon's baseline 1.4.304.1 to the required 1.4.341.0, addon builds
clean, 107/107 cpp tests + 30/30 unit tests pass.

* transcription-whispercpp: drop vcpkg overlays now that qvac-registry-vcpkg#169 is merged

Step E of the cross-repo merge protocol: now that the registry PR has
landed on tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg@main as b54eb17 ("whisper-cpp
1.8.5 + ggml-speech 2026-05-27 + tts-cpp/parakeet-cpp re-validation"),
the addon no longer needs the WIP overlay ports.

  vcpkg-configuration.json:
    - default-registry.baseline 6df36b4f -> b54eb17 (the merge SHA of
      qvac-registry-vcpkg#169)
    - drop overlay-ports block (vcpkg-overlays/{whisper-cpp,ggml-speech}/)
  vcpkg-overlays/whisper-cpp/  -> removed
  vcpkg-overlays/ggml-speech/  -> removed

The whisper-cpp version pin in vcpkg.json overrides is unchanged (still
1.8.5 / port-version 0), which now resolves straight from the registry.
ggml-speech is pulled in transitively at 2026-05-27#0 (the new baseline).
spirv-headers is pulled in transitively from microsoft/vcpkg at the
1.4.341.0 floor declared in the new ggml-speech port.

Local validation on x64-linux (vulkan feature) against the merged
registry, with no overlays:
  - bare-make generate resolves
      ggml-speech[core,vulkan]:x64-linux@2026-05-27
        -> tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg git-tree c201f77 (identical
           to the overlay-phase tree -- proves the source code is the
           same as what CI ran the last 28/28 green matrix on)
      whisper-cpp[core,vulkan]:x64-linux@1.8.5
        -> tetherto/qvac-registry-vcpkg git-tree d18888f (also
           identical to the overlay-phase tree)
      spirv-headers:x64-linux@1.4.341.0
        -> microsoft/vcpkg (transitive via ggml-speech[vulkan])
    The ggml-speech and whisper-cpp package-ABI hashes are byte-identical
    to the last overlay-phase run, confirming the registry resolution
    and the overlay resolution install the exact same content.
  - build links clean
  - npm run test:cpp        -> 107/107 pass
  - npm run test:unit       -> 30/30 pass
  - npm run test:dts        -> clean

* transcription-whispercpp: revert default-registry baseline bump

Address @jpgaribotti review on #2270: "Don't update the baseline."

The whisper-cpp@1.8.5#0 override in vcpkg.json + the version>=ggml-speech
and version>=spirv-headers constraints declared inside the new
whisper-cpp and ggml-speech ports are enough to pull the new ports
out of the registry's git history without bumping the baseline past
a9d7e924 -- vcpkg's overrides walk the registry's versions/ database
across history, they are not gated on the baseline tree.

Local re-validation on x64-linux (vulkan), with baseline kept at
a9d7e924 (the value already on tetherto/qvac@main):
  bare-make generate resolves:
    ggml-speech[core,vulkan]:x64-linux@2026-05-27 -> git-tree c201f77
    whisper-cpp[core,vulkan]:x64-linux@1.8.5      -> git-tree d18888f
    spirv-headers:x64-linux@1.4.341.0             -> microsoft/vcpkg
  All three resolved git-trees and package-ABI hashes match the
  previous baseline-bumped run byte-for-byte, confirming the dropped
  baseline change is purely a no-op for what gets installed.

  Build links clean, npm run test:cpp 107/107 pass, test:unit 30/30
  pass, test:dts clean.

* transcription-whispercpp: address jpgaribotti review on backend identity API

Four review items on PR #2270:

1. Align BackendId numeric values with transcription-parakeet's
   BackendId enum (CPU=0, Metal=1, CUDA=2, Vulkan=3, OpenCL=4,
   Other=99). Whisper previously used (Metal=1, Vulkan=2, OpenCL=3,
   CUDA=4) which silently broke cross-addon device-farm comparison.
   While we're at it, rename gpuBackendId -> backendId and add a
   companion backendDevice (0=CPU, 1=GPU) so the RuntimeStats shape
   mirrors parakeet's. Public-API change but 0.9.0 hasn't shipped yet
   so no migration cost.

2. Replicate whisper.cpp's exact GPU selection in
   captureActiveBackendInfo() so the reported backend matches what
   whisper actually initialised against:
     - read use_gpu / gpu_device out of WhisperConfig (was: always
       enumerate, even for use_gpu=false)
     - pick GGML_BACKEND_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU only (was: GPU or IGPU --
       whisper rejects IGPU, so reporting one would lie)
     - honour gpu_device index when set (was: ignored)
   Was: first-match enumeration across all GPU/IGPU devices, could
   disagree with whisper's pick on Android where Vulkan and OpenCL
   both register and ggml_backend_dev_get() order differs from
   whisper's preference.

3. Emit a WARNING through the addon logger when use_gpu=true was
   requested but no GPU device is registered (silent CPU fallback
   case). Mirrors ParakeetModel::loadModel()'s WARNING so the
   iOS/desktop mobile-perf paths stop hiding silent CPU fallback
   behind a "backendId !== null" assertion.

4. CHANGELOG.md: drop the "Re-pinned the default-registry baseline..."
   paragraph -- we're keeping the baseline conservative per the same
   review.

Files updated to keep everything in sync:
  - addon/src/model-interface/whisper.cpp/WhisperModel.hpp: rename
    gpu_backend_id_ -> backend_id_, add backend_device_, rename
    gpu_backend_name_ -> backend_name_, update doc comment numbers.
  - addon/src/model-interface/whisper.cpp/WhisperModel.cpp: rewrite
    backendIdFromName() -> backendIdFromRegName() with parakeet's
    numbering and the Metal/MTL alias parakeet uses; rewrite
    captureActiveBackendInfo() per items 2-3; switch runtimeStats()
    to emit backendDevice + backendId (was: gpuBackendId only).
  - index.d.ts: rename gpuBackendId -> backendId, add backendDevice,
    introduce BackendId enum (re-exported from the namespace) with
    the same docstring shape parakeet uses; emphasise the cross-addon
    contract.
  - test/integration/mobile-perf-runner.js: switch to
    backendDevice + backendId; flip the Android-GPU assertion union
    from "Vulkan=2 || OpenCL=3" to "Vulkan=3 || OpenCL=4"; also
    assert backendDevice is reported.
  - CHANGELOG.md: rewrite the 0.9.0 "Added" runtime-stats bullet to
    describe the new field shape + numbering + BackendId enum, drop
    the baseline-bump paragraph.

Local validation on x64-linux (vulkan feature) with the conservative
baseline (a9d7e924, no change):
  - bare-make generate / build / install: clean
  - npm run test:cpp        -> 107/107 pass
  - npm run test:unit       -> 30/30 pass
  - npm run test:dts        -> clean (BackendId enum + new fields type-check)
  - npm run test:integration -> 10/10 pass
  - npm run test:integration:accuracy -> 8/8 pass
  - npm run test:integration:chunking -> 1/1 pass
  - git-clang-format --diff vs upstream/main: clean
  - clang-tidy-19 -p build WhisperModel.cpp: 0 user-code warnings

* feat(diffusion-cpp): add Wan 2.1 I2V model download, FLF2V helpers, and VAE tiling patch

Adds tooling and assets to support image-to-video (img2vid) and frame-to-frame
interpolation (FLF2V) generation with the Wan 2.1 I2V 14B model in GGUF format.

Additions:
- scripts/download-model-wan-i2v.sh: downloads city96/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-gguf
  Q4_K_M (~11 GB) plus VAE, T5-XXL, and CLIP ViT-H/14 vision encoder
- examples/generate-shannon-flux.js: FLUX2-klein img2img helper to generate an
  end-frame at matching resolution (FLF2V requires both frames to share dims)
- examples/generate-flf-end-frame.js: alternative img2vid-based frame generator
- addon/examples/img2vid-wan-example.cpp + CMakeLists.txt: native C++ usage example
- vcpkg/ports/patches/wan-i2v-encode-video-bypass-tiling.patch: patches
  stable-diffusion.cpp to skip 2D VAE tiling for 4D video tensors (avoids
  GGML_ASSERT failure during VAE encode in img2vid/flf2vid)
- assets/claude-shannon-resized.jpg, assets/maks-original.jpg: example assets

Note: This PR adds only NEW files; the corresponding C++ wiring for clipVision
in addon/src/* and JS bindings in addon.js/video.js/index.js is tracked
separately in feature/itv (b0e32e0) and will be ported in a follow-up PR
once compatible with the post-history-rewrite addon refactor.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* feat(diffusion-cpp): port Wan 2.1 I2V C++ wiring and JS bindings from feature/itv

- Port full addon/src C++ implementation: clipVisionPath support in
  SdCtxHandlers, AddonJs, and SdModel; FLF2V (first-last-frame-to-video)
  handlers in SdVidGenHandlers; updated AviWriter and SdVideoFrames for
  video generation
- Add clipVisionPath to video.js and index.js configurationParams so the
  native addon receives the CLIP vision encoder path for I2V/FLF2V modes
- Update img2vid-wan.js to default to the dedicated Wan 2.1 I2V 14B GGUF
  checkpoint with CLIP vision, replacing the T2V 1.3B placeholder
- Update flf2vid-wan.js with production-ready FLF2V defaults, crossfade
  prompt, and releaseLogger() in finally block to prevent process hang
- Update img2img-flux2.js and img2img-flux2-f16.js with clipVisionPath
  passthrough fix

* feat(diffusion-cpp): remove FLF2V interpolation, deliver I2V only

Remove first-last-frame-to-video (flf2vid) mode from the public API:
- Delete examples/flf2vid-wan.js and examples/generate-flf-end-frame.js
- Remove 'flf2vid' from VIDEO_MODES and all end_image validation in video.js
- Remove VideoMode 'flf2vid' and end_image field from video.d.ts

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* feat(diffusion-cpp): remove flf2vid from C++ addon entirely

Remove first-last-frame-to-video from the native layer:
- SdModel.cpp: remove flf2vid mode branch, end_image decode/resize path,
  vidParams.end_image assignment, and endImg/endData locals
- SdModel.hpp: remove endImageBytes field from GenerationJob
- SdVidGenHandlers.cpp/.hpp: remove flf2vid from valid mode set and comments
- AddonJs.hpp: remove endImageBuffer parsing
- SdCtxHandlers.hpp: remove FLF2V references from clipVisionPath comment

Supported video modes are now strictly txt2vid and img2vid.

* fix(diffusion-cpp): Address all critical C1–C7 issues + implement High priority fixes

**Critical Issues (C1–C7):**
- C1: Thread-local callbacks already implemented (tl_progressCtx, tl_abortModel)
- C2: Gate unused preview_mode config (parsed but never wired)
- C3: Fix memory leak on generate_image() exception paths using RAII wrappers
- C4: Null-check generate_image/video returns, throw StatusError on failure
- C5: Implement applyFluxImg2ImgDimDefaults() for FLUX img2img dimension defaults
- C6: Harden VideoStableDiffusion (LoRA rejection; end_image/flf2vid deferred)
- C7: Harden mapAddonEvent with explicit Uint8Array checks and documentation

**High Priority (H1–H12) - Previously completed:**
- Shared integer parsing (requireInt, requirePositiveInt, etc.) with overflow guards
- Standardized cancellation errors via makeCancelledError()
- JS input validation (dimensions, prompts, image coercion)
- Overflow checks in image resizing & AVI encoding
- Cooperative cancellation in video post-generation
- TypeScript .d.ts synchronization

**Infrastructure:**
- Scaffold local vcpkg overlay port for Wan I2V VAE-tiling patch
- Restore portfile.cmake + supporting config files
- Pin to stable-diffusion-cpp@00cd2a09 (registry #4) for SD_BACKEND_PREF_AUTO

**Files Changed:**
C++ handlers, model interface, utilities: integer parsing, error handling, memory safety
JavaScript: input validation, FLUX dimension defaults, video params, event mapping
TypeScript: type definitions for new exports and corrected runtime behavior
vcpkg: local overlay + patch machinery for I2V fix

Closes #HIGH-PRIORITY, fixes i2v model loading via patched VAE tiling.

* chore(diffusion-cpp): scrub all remaining FLF2V/end_image references

Remove every comment, JSDoc, test, and CHANGELOG mention of flf2vid,
FLF2V, first-last-frame, and end_image across the package. Also removes
the end_image validation blocks in video.js and the two corresponding
unit tests, since end_image was only ever used by the now-removed
flf2vid mode.

* fix(ci): remove stale vcpkg dir before clone on macOS self-hosted runners

Self-hosted macOS runners persist the parent directory between runs, so
a leftover vcpkg/ from a previous job causes `git clone` to fail with
"destination path 'vcpkg' already exists". Add `rm -rf vcpkg` before
the clone to ensure a clean state.

* fix(ci): update setup-vcpkg SHA to include stale-dir rm fix

All workflow callers were pinned to 6e8d3c3 (original action commit)

* test(diffusion-cpp): add Wan 2.1 I2V smoke integration test

Adds a CI smoke test for img2vid mode alongside the existing txt2vid test
in generate-video-wan.test.js. Downloads the I2V 14B Q4_K_M GGUF, shared
VAE/T5-XXL, and clip_vision_h models on demand; uses the existing
von-neumann-colorized.jpg asset as init_image; runs 2 steps at 480x272
to keep wall-clock under 5 minutes on GPU runners.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* fix(diffusion-cpp): use city96 public repo for Wan I2V GGUF model download

bartowski's wan2.1-i2v-14b-480p-GGUF repo requires authentication (401).
Switch to city96/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-gguf which is public (gated: false)
and is the same source used by the download-model-wan-i2v.sh script.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* fix(diffusion-cpp): resolve init_image dimension mismatch in I2V video generation

- Remove hardcoded 480x272 dimensions from I2V test to prevent mismatch with
  512x512 init_image
- Infer video dimensions from init_image header when width/height are omitted
- Add early JavaScript validation to catch dimension mismatches before C++ execution
- Provide helpful error message guiding users to either omit dimensions or
  pre-scale the image

Fixes Windows CI failure: "init_image dimensions 512x512 do not match video
dimensions 480x272"

* ci(diffusion-cpp): skip Wan tests on CPU-only runners, enable on GPU darwin-arm64

- Remove blanket darwin skip to allow Wan tests on GPU-enabled darwin-arm64
- Only skip Wan tests on mobile and CPU-only runners (NO_GPU=true)
- Fixes darwin-x64 CI timeout by skipping Wan tests on CPU-only macos-15-large
- Allows Wan tests to run on GPU-enabled mac-mini-m4 (darwin-arm64)

Resolves: darwin-x64 integration test taking 50+ minutes
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* ci: add debug logging for Wan test skip behavior

- Add workflow step to log NO_GPU and test configuration before tests run
- Add console.log in Wan test module to show skip decision
- Helps diagnose why darwin-x64 integration tests are taking too long

This will show us:
- If NO_GPU env var is properly set
- Whether Wan tests are actually being skipped or running

* fix: resolve linting quote style error in Wan I2V test

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* fix: revert overly strict init_image dimension validation

The dimension mismatch check was catching a valid use case where:
- caller passes off-grid init_image (e.g. 100x100)
- caller explicitly specifies aligned width/height (e.g. 112x112)
- caller handles alignment themselves

Removing this check restores the original behavior and allows callers
to intentionally provide mismatched dimensions. The C++ layer will
catch truly invalid combinations.

Fixes failing unit test: "accepts off-grid init_image when caller passes explicit aligned width/height"

* fix: correct workspace cleanup condition for all self-hosted runners

Replace restrictive startsWith(matrix.runner, 'qvac-') check with
runner.environment != 'github-hosted' to properly apply workspace cleanup
to ALL self-hosted runners, including mac-mini-m4-gpu and other runners
that don't follow the qvac- naming convention.

This ensures self-hosted runners (whether qvac-*, mac-mini-*, or others)
get proper workspace cleanup, while github-hosted runners skip it.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* fix: refine workspace cleanup condition to avoid GitHub-hosted ARM runners

Use explicit exclusion of standard GitHub runner prefixes (ubuntu-, macos-, windows-)
instead of runner.environment check, which may not work reliably with GitHub-hosted
ARM runners like ubuntu-24.04-arm and ubuntu-22.04-arm.

This ensures:
- Self-hosted runners (qvac-*, mac-mini-*, etc.) get cleanup (✓)
- GitHub-hosted runners (ubuntu-*, macos-*, windows-*) skip cleanup (✓)
- GitHub-hosted ARM runners (ubuntu-*-arm) skip cleanup (✓)

* chore: sync CI/CD workflows from main

* fix: use correct workspace cleanup condition instead of failed runner.environment

The runner.environment != 'github-hosted' condition caused failures on
GitHub-hosted ARM runners (ubuntu-*-arm). Use explicit prefix exclusion instead:
- Skip cleanup for GitHub-provided runners (ubuntu-*, macos-*, windows-*)
- Apply cleanup to all self-hosted runners (qvac-*, mac-mini-*, etc.)

This is the correct fix that should have been in PR #2359.

Point the stable-diffusion-cpp portfile to the fix/wan-i2v-vae-tiling branch
from qvac-ext-stable-diffusion.cpp PR #9 instead of applying the patch overlay.

This allows testing the upstream fix before it's merged. Once the PR is merged
and published in the qvac registry, this overlay can be removed entirely.

Using a branch name REF without SHA512 causes vcpkg to fail.

* fix: point vcpkg overlay to clean cherry-pick on 2026-03-01 base

Previous branch was based off master and included 9 upstream commits
that shouldn't be in the PR (CI workflow changes, docs, etc.).

New clean branch fix/wan-i2v-vae-tiling-clean is based directly off

* fix(diffusion-cpp): use 256x256 init image for Wan I2V to fit Metal GPU budget

The Wan I2V 14B test OOM'd on the Mac mini M4 Metal backend during diffusion
compute (kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorOutOfMemory). The 512x512 init image
(inferred as the video resolution) was ~2x the pixels of the original 480x272
config and exceeded the GPU memory budget.

Add a pre-resized 256x256 init image asset and point the I2V smoke test at it,
shrinking the video latent/activation footprint so the 14B model fits in GPU
memory on the Mac mini M4 runner.

* test(diffusion-cpp): skip Wan video tests on macOS/Metal due to GPU OOM

The Wan 14B I2V model OOMs the Mac mini M4 Metal GPU during diffusion compute
(kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorOutOfMemory), even after dropping the init
image to 256x256. Exclude darwin entirely from the Wan suite; the tests still
run on Linux/Windows GPU runners.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* test(diffusion-cpp): remove unused 256x256 init image

Wan tests are now skipped on macOS/Metal, so the smaller init image added to
work around the Metal GPU OOM is no longer needed. Revert the I2V smoke test
back to the original 512x512 init image and delete the resized asset.

* fix(diffusion-cpp): satisfy clang-tidy identifier-naming in addon

clang-tidy readability-identifier-naming flagged six globals introduced by the
Wan I2V wiring. Rename to match the package .clang-tidy convention:
- global constants -> UPPER_CASE: kMaxSafeJsonInt, kAddonId, kCancelled,
  kJobCancelledMessage
- thread_local globals -> g_ prefix: tl_progressCtx, tl_abortModel

* fix(diffusion-cpp): restore root VideoStableDiffusion export

VideoStableDiffusion was dropped from index.js when the Wan 2.1 I2V bindings
were ported (ca07e91), leaving require('@qvac/diffusion-cpp').VideoStableDiffusion
undefined even though index.d.ts still declares it as a named export. Re-export
it from the barrel to realign the runtime export with the type declarations.
The subpath entry point (@qvac/diffusion-cpp/video) was unaffected.

* fix(diffusion-cpp): address PR review on Wan I2V video bindings

- Standardize video dimensions on multiples of 16 end-to-end: C++
  width/height handlers and video.d.ts now match the JS wrapper.
- requireRange: reject non-finite values (NaN/Inf) before range check.
- Video seed uses requireInt64 (parity with image path); no silent
  truncation of fractional/out-of-range seeds.
- Use typed makeCancelledError() at all diffusion cancel sites.
- Docs: clipVision is required for img2vid and throws; preview-callback
  options are parsed but not yet wired.

* test(diffusion-cpp): update unit tests for 16-aligned dims and typed cancel

- SdVidGenHandlers dimension tests now expect multiples of 16 (reject
  multiples of 8 that aren't 16-aligned), matching the handler change.
- Cancel-context test expects the typed [ Diffusion :: Cancelled ] code
  emitted by makeCancelledError() at all diffusion cancel sites.

Lifecycle correctness:
- Spawn lock: steal only when the owner pid is dead (with an mtime fallback for
  an unreadable lock), so a legitimate multi-minute cold start no longer loses
  its lock after 30s and spawns a duplicate runner/serve (tetherto#1).
- close(): the fetch path now bails out instead of re-resolving once closed, so
  a request racing close() can't silently re-add a consumer / spawn a runner (tetherto#3).
- sweepServes: when an orphaned serve's pid is alive but its health check fails,
  keep the record instead of dropping it — dropping stranded a live serve with
  no registry trace. We only reap once it answers as ours, or drop once its pid
  dies (tetherto#4).
- servePort: fold a pinned port into the fleet key so pinned-port callers don't
  reuse an auto-allocated serve on a different port, and distinct pins don't
  collide (tetherto#5).
- Respawn: expose baseURL/port/pid as getters over live state, updated on every
  reconnect, so diagnostics/external clients see the real serve after recovery (tetherto#6).
- retargetUrl now handles Request inputs (not just string/URL) so a respawn stays
  transparent if the SDK ever switches input shapes (tetherto#8).

Docs:
- README + docs-site: direct-baseURL tools (OpenCode/Cline/Aider) don't extend
  liveness; document the long-lived-sentinel/wrapper pattern and fix the
  misleading "the script doesn't have to stay running" note (tetherto#2).
- Reconcile version wording: README/changelog now describe managed mode as
  unreleased (package is 0.1.0); docs-site integration page documents managed
  mode + the async overload (tetherto#7).

Tests: spawn-lock steal/keep matrix, fleet-key pinned-port sensitivity, and the
runner-dead + serve-alive + health-failing sweep case. Build + suite green
(60 pass / 1 integration skip).

* feat[api]: add managed mode to @qvac/ai-sdk-provider (QVAC-19900)

Add `mode: 'managed'` so the provider can synthesize an ephemeral
qvac.config.json from a model-constant list, spawn and supervise
`qvac serve` on a free port, and tear it down on host exit. External
mode is unchanged and stays synchronous; the managed supervisor is
lazily dynamic-imported so external-mode users pay no startup cost.

@qvac/cli becomes an optional peer dependency.

* fix: resolve @qvac/cli via main entry when its exports block package.json (QVAC-19900)

The published @qvac/cli ships a string `exports` field ("./dist/index.js"),
which makes the `./package.json` subpath non-resolvable
(ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED). Managed mode relied on resolving
`@qvac/cli/package.json` to locate the bin, so it would fail to find the CLI
on a clean install. Fall back to resolving the package main entry, which for
@qvac/cli is the same file as the `qvac` bin.

* doc: update ai-sdk provider agent setup after queue (QVAC-19900)

* QVAC-19900 feat[api]: per-model config for managed mode

Managed mode `models` now accepts spec objects ({ name, config, preload,
default }) alongside bare constant names, so callers can set per-model serve
options — notably `ctx_size` and `reasoning_budget` — that coding agents like
OpenCode require. The synthesized qvac.config.json carries the config block,
honors explicit `preload`/`default`, and validates names inside spec objects.

Exports the new `QvacManagedModel` type and documents per-model config plus a
managed-mode OpenCode example in the README.

* QVAC-19900 feat[api]: shared idle-reaped managed serve daemon

Rework managed mode from a per-provider supervisor into a shared,
self-cleaning serve daemon so it is robust standalone and usable by any
tool, not just a single session.

- Reuse via a fleet key (model set + per-model config + host) keyed in a
  cross-process registry under ~/.qvac/managed-serves/; createQvac attaches
  to a matching healthy serve instead of cold-starting a duplicate.
- A detached runner owns the qvac serve child and reaps it once no consumer
  process has been alive for serveIdleTimeout (default 5m). Liveness, not
  request traffic, is the signal, so it works for tools that hit baseURL
  directly (OpenCode/Cline/Aider).
- close() now detaches (deregisters the consumer) instead of killing; a
  shared serve survives until its last user is gone.
- Sweep only reaps dead/orphaned serves, never a healthy serve a live
  process owns (fixes a second session SIGKILLing a downloading serve).
- Respawn-on-failure: fetch re-resolves and retries once on ECONNREFUSED.
- reuse:false (or a pinned servePort) yields a private serve reaped as soon
  as its owner exits.

Refactor into serve-process.ts (spawn/health/stop), registry.ts,
fleet-key.ts, runner.ts; remove supervisor.ts and pid-tracker.ts. Add
reuse and serveIdleTimeout options. Rewrite tests and add reuse/idle-reap
end-to-end coverage; document the shared lifecycle in the README.

* QVAC-19900 fix: reject duplicate model names in managed mode

Each managed model maps to a single serve alias keyed by its name, so a
repeated name silently overwrote the earlier entry — and could drop its
`default: true`. Reject duplicates up front with DuplicateManagedModelError
instead of resolving them ambiguously. Addresses PR review feedback.

* QVAC-19900 fix[api]: address managed-mode self-review findings

- Per-instance consumer markers (<pid>.<rand>) so two providers in one
  process sharing a fleet key don't deregister each other on close (A).
- Restrict respawn retry to ECONNREFUSED so an in-flight completion is
  never blindly replayed on ECONNRESET/EPIPE (C).
- Health-check the recorded baseURL before SIGTERM-ing an orphaned serve,
  guarding against killing a recycled pid (D).
- Use dirname() instead of a posix-only regex for ephemeral config cleanup (E).
- Fold serveBinPath into the fleet key so distinct local builds don't share
  a serve (G).
- Export managed error classes + QvacManagedErrorCode for instanceof checks (H).
- Reject more than one explicit default: true (I).
- Deregister the consumer if resolveServe throws (F); drop dead
  firstConsumerPid runner param (J).

Tests: per-instance markers, health-gated orphan sweep (kills serving
orphan, spares non-serving stranger pid), fleet-key serveBinPath sensitivity,
multiple-default rejection. README updated.

* QVAC-19900 fix[api]: address managed-mode lifecycle review (round 2)

Lifecycle correctness:
- Spawn lock: steal only when the owner pid is dead (with an mtime fallback for
  an unreadable lock), so a legitimate multi-minute cold start no longer loses
  its lock after 30s and spawns a duplicate runner/serve (#1).
- close(): the fetch path now bails out instead of re-resolving once closed, so
  a request racing close() can't silently re-add a consumer / spawn a runner (#3).
- sweepServes: when an orphaned serve's pid is alive but its health check fails,
  keep the record instead of dropping it — dropping stranded a live serve with
  no registry trace. We only reap once it answers as ours, or drop once its pid
  dies (#4).
- servePort: fold a pinned port into the fleet key so pinned-port callers don't
  reuse an auto-allocated serve on a different port, and distinct pins don't
  collide (#5).
- Respawn: expose baseURL/port/pid as getters over live state, updated on every
  reconnect, so diagnostics/external clients see the real serve after recovery (#6).
- retargetUrl now handles Request inputs (not just string/URL) so a respawn stays
  transparent if the SDK ever switches input shapes (#8).

Docs:
- README + docs-site: direct-baseURL tools (OpenCode/Cline/Aider) don't extend
  liveness; document the long-lived-sentinel/wrapper pattern and fix the
  misleading "the script doesn't have to stay running" note (#2).
- Reconcile version wording: README/changelog now describe managed mode as
  unreleased (package is 0.1.0); docs-site integration page documents managed
  mode + the async overload (#7).

Tests: spawn-lock steal/keep matrix, fleet-key pinned-port sensitivity, and the
runner-dead + serve-alive + health-failing sweep case. Build + suite green
(60 pass / 1 integration skip).

* QVAC-19900 feat[api]: public model catalog + catalog-id aliases in managed mode

Add `models.qvacCatalog`, a public models.dev-style catalog that maps
friendly ids (`qwen3.5-9b`) to the SDK constant the serve loads
(`QWEN3_5_9B_MULTIMODAL_Q4_K_M`), so the id a user picks from models.dev
resolves end-to-end with no translation layer in front of the serve.

Managed mode now accepts catalog ids as model names: the synthesized
serve config keys the alias by the friendly id while `model` resolves to
the underlying SDK constant, so the serve answers `qwen3.5-9b` directly.
Bare SDK constants keep working unchanged. A drift unit test fails CI if
any catalog constant disappears from the generated SDK catalog.

* QVAC-19900 feat[api]: process-group serve teardown + closeOnParentExit

Harden managed-mode lifecycle so a managed serve never leaks its `bare`
inference worker or outlives the process that owns it.

- Process-group teardown: spawn `qvac serve` detached (its own group) and,
  when stopServe must escalate past the grace window, SIGKILL the whole
  group. A plain SIGKILL of the serve pid never cascades to the grandchild
  bare worker, so previously a wedged serve orphaned the worker. The
  graceful SIGTERM is still sent to the serve process only, so a healthy
  serve orchestrates its own shutdown and releases the global worker lock
  (no stale lock left behind); the group SIGKILL is the wedged-path fallback.

- `closeOnParentExit` option: for a daemon-style host whose sole job is to
  keep a managed serve alive for a parent process (e.g. an editor/agent
  plugin). The provider watches its parent pid and, the moment the parent
  exits (on POSIX we are reparented to init, ppid → 1), closes itself —
  deregistering the consumer so the runner reaps the serve — and exits.
  Without it a hard-killed parent would leave a reparented host alive,
  keeping its consumer marker forever so the serve was never reaped.

Tests: a stubborn-grandchild fake serve proves group teardown reaps the
worker; `parentIsGone` unit-tests the parent-watch decision.

* QVAC-19900 fix: keep managed serve lifecycle correct under close() race and crash-respawn

- Undo the consumer re-registration when close() wins the race against an
  in-flight fetch retry: resolveServe re-adds the marker after close() removed
  it, which would keep the shared serve warm until the process exits.
- Preserve live consumer markers when sweepServes reaps a crashed/orphaned
  serve, so a respawned runner inherits the still-alive sessions instead of
  idle-reaping the fresh serve out from under them.
- docs: bump managed-mode ctx_size examples to 32768 for agent-sized prompts.

* QVAC-19900 fix: rename reresolve result to resolved for clarity in managed fetch

* QVAC-19900 mod: collapse redundant sync/async registry teardown helpers

removeConsumer/removeConsumerSync and removeRecord/removeRecordSync were a
confusing sync/async mirror: the async removeConsumer was only ever called right
after the sync one (a guaranteed no-op), and the removeRecord pair was really two
teardown semantics under near-identical names. Marker/record teardown is a single
unlink/rm, cheap enough to be synchronous everywhere — including process 'exit'
handlers where async can't run — so collapse each pair into one sync function.
No behaviour change; addresses review feedback on #2408.

* QVAC-19900 mod: trim verbose comments in managed registry

Tighten the sync-rationale comments on removeRecord/removeConsumer and drop a
stale, broken leftover comment above ensureDirSync. Keeps the non-obvious intent
(why sync, preserveConsumers semantics) without the narration.

* QVAC-19900 mod: drop unused DEFAULT_SERVE_BIN and ephemeralConfigName

Both were dead: DEFAULT_SERVE_BIN was never imported (serve-process spawns the
resolved CLI path verbatim) and ephemeralConfigName was an unused helper
(writeEphemeralConfig uses a fixed name inside an mkdtemp dir). Removing the
latter also drops the now-unused randomBytes import.
