Fifteen changes aimed at the first day of real use:
- Import and media jobs persist to <data>/jobs-*.json and reload on start
(running ones settle as errors); the Register button no longer vanishes
because the gateway restarted.
- Docker ships the cortiq binary (built in the builder stage) — local .cmf
chat models and image/video generation now work in containers, where
auto-install never could (no cargo in the runtime image). libvulkan1 added
for optional GPU offload.
- Open admin console on 0.0.0.0 without a token now warns in the log and
shows a dismissible banner — the VPS footgun is at least labeled.
- "Restart gateway" button in Settings: stops managed model servers, spawns
a fresh copy (bind retried while the port frees), Docker relies on the
container restart policy instead.
- Dashboard "System" panel: CPU sparkline + load, RAM (with the gateway's
own RSS), free disk at the models dir — sampled by sysinfo every 2 s.
- Featured model cards warn "not enough disk" / "may not fit in RAM" before
the download, from the same live snapshot.
- Log viewer in the sidebar: a 500-line in-memory ring fed by a second
ANSI-free tracing layer; filter, level, pause, copy.
- Update check: crates.io polled twice a day, the console shows an
"update available" notice.
- Media generations queue up (with position shown) instead of being
rejected; progress gained an honest ETA from measured throughput.
- Generation gallery under the image/video tabs: lazy PPM thumbnails,
click to reopen with seed/steps, delete.
- Playground chat is a real dialogue now: history is resent, bubbles,
Clear, Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.
- "Connect your app" snippets (curl / Python / JS) on the keys page, with
the real key inlined right after creation.
- One-click benchmark on the Models page via `cortiq bench --json`.
- Config export now downloads the actual gateway.toml (comments intact);
import accepts TOML (validated, hot-reloaded) and the legacy JSON.
- Streaming token counts are exact when the model server provides usage
(cortiq-server patch, shipped separately); the gateway fallback now
counts content chunks (1/token on cortiq) instead of chars/4.
Wizard's Finish lands on the Playground. 37 new strings in all 7 languages.
- The model id is now auto-filled from the model name as you type, and if left
blank it's derived on save (slug of the last path segment, e.g.
"qwen/qwen3.7-max" → "qwen3-7-max") — saving no longer errors on a blank id.
- probe/test auth failures (401 / "User not found" / "No auth") now append a
hint to check the API key (for OpenRouter: use an inference key, not a
provisioning/management key).
- ui.js: mount() now wraps non-node children in text nodes (like h()), so
mount(el, "") no longer throws in appendChild — this is what broke the
"Add model" form (applyDefaults cleared a status via mount(x,"")).
- probe_model: resolve managed local models too (they are synthesized into the
registry, not [[models]]) — probing them no longer returns "model not found".
- models.js: await reload() after delete so the row is removed immediately.
- Providers: add openrouter (https://openrouter.ai/api/v1) and lmstudio
(http://localhost:1234/v1), both OpenAI-compatible. Selecting a provider now
auto-fills its verified base URL, cost tier and default capabilities.
- API key is typed directly in the form and stored securely as a secret under the
provider's env name — no manual env var to manage.
- New POST /admin/api/provider/models validates the key and lists the provider's
models; a "Test & load models" button fills a searchable dropdown. The model
field now sits below the key (some providers list models from the key).
- Fuller capability set: tools, vision, audio, reasoning, json, caching.
- A pinned playground model that is unavailable now errors clearly instead of
silently answering from the managed local model (route_source no longer lies).
- The managed CMF model is surfaced in GET /admin/api/models (marked "managed",
shown read-only in the UI) so the real running model is visible and pinnable
without a hand-maintained [[models]] entry; a fresh install still lists nothing.
- Deleting a model now removes its local .cmf physically (file or tensor-dir);
deleting the managed model also stops the server and clears the [cmf] config.
Routing is stripped of the deleted id so the config still validates.
