* server/webui: add server-side WebUI config support
Add CLI arguments --webui-config (inline JSON) and --webui-config-file
(file path) to configure WebUI default settings from server side.
Backend changes:
- Parse JSON once in server_context::load_model() for performance
- Cache parsed config in webui_settings member (zero overhead on /props)
- Add proper error handling in router mode with try/catch
- Expose webui_settings in /props endpoint for both router and child modes
Frontend changes:
- Add 14 configurable WebUI settings via parameter sync
- Add tests for webui settings extraction
- Fix subpath support with base path in API calls
Addresses feedback from @ngxson and @ggerganov
* server: address review feedback from ngxson
* server: regenerate README with llama-gen-docs
* webui: introduce OpenAI-compatible model selector in JSON payload
* webui: restore OpenAI-Compatible model source of truth and unify metadata capture
This change re-establishes a single, reliable source of truth for the active model:
fully aligned with the OpenAI-Compat API behavior
It introduces a unified metadata flow that captures the model field from both
streaming and non-streaming responses, wiring a new onModel callback through ChatService
The model name is now resolved directly from the API payload rather than relying on
server /props or UI assumptions
ChatStore records and persists the resolved model for each assistant message during
streaming, ensuring consistency across the UI and database
Type definitions for API and settings were also extended to include model metadata
and the onModel callback, completing the alignment with OpenAI-Compat semantics
* webui: address review feedback from allozaur
* webui: move model selector into ChatForm (idea by @allozaur)
* webui: make model selector more subtle and integrated into ChatForm
* webui: replaced the Flowbite selector with a native Svelte dropdown
* webui: add developer setting to toggle the chat model selector
* webui: address review feedback from allozaur
Normalized streamed model names during chat updates
by trimming input and removing directory components before saving
or persisting them, so the conversation UI shows only the filename
Forced model names within the chat form selector dropdown to render as
a single-line, truncated entry with a tooltip revealing the full name
* webui: toggle displayed model source for legacy vs OpenAI-Compat modes
When the selector is disabled, it falls back to the active server model name from /props
When the model selector is enabled, the displayed model comes from the message metadata
(the one explicitly selected and sent in the request)

* webui: refactor model selector and persistence helpers
- Replace inline portal and event listeners with proper Svelte bindings
- Introduce 'persisted' store helper for localStorage sync without runes
- Extract 'normalizeModelName' utils + Vitest coverage
- Simplify ChatFormModelSelector structure and cleanup logic
Replaced the persisted store helper's use of '$state/$effect' runes with
a plain TS implementation to prevent orphaned effect runtime errors
outside component context

* refactor: unify reasoning handling via backend reasoning_content, drop frontend tag parsing
- Updated the chat message component to surface backend-supplied reasoning via message.thinking while showing the raw assistant content without inline tag scrubbing
- Simplified chat streaming to append content chunks directly, stream reasoning into the message model, and persist any partial reasoning when generation stops
- Refactored the chat service SSE handler to rely on server-provided reasoning_content, removing legacy <think> parsing logic
- Refreshed Storybook data and streaming flows to populate the thinking field explicitly for static and streaming assistant messages
* refactor: implement streaming-aware universal reasoning parser
Remove the streaming mode limitation from --reasoning-format by refactoring
try_parse_reasoning() to handle incremental parsing of <think> tags across
all formats.
- Rework try_parse_reasoning() to track whitespace, partial tags, and
multiple reasoning segments, allowing proper separation of reasoning_content
and content in streaming mode
- Parse reasoning tags before tool call handling in content-only and Llama 3.x
formats to ensure inline <think> blocks are captured correctly
- Change default reasoning_format from 'auto' to 'deepseek' for consistent
behavior
- Add 'deepseek-legacy' option to preserve old inline behavior when needed
- Update CLI help and documentation to reflect streaming support
- Add parser tests for inline <think>...</think> segments
The parser now continues processing content after </think> closes instead of
stopping, enabling proper message.reasoning_content and message.content
separation in both streaming and non-streaming modes.
Fixes the issue where streaming responses would dump everything (including
post-thinking content) into reasoning_content while leaving content empty.
* refactor: address review feedback from allozaur
- Passed the assistant message content directly to ChatMessageAssistant to drop the redundant derived state in the chat message component
- Simplified chat streaming updates by removing unused partial-thinking handling and persisting partial responses straight from currentResponse
- Refreshed the ChatMessage stories to cover standard and reasoning scenarios without the old THINK-tag parsing examples

* refactor: restore forced reasoning prefix to pass test-chat ([chat] All tests passed)
- store the exact sequence seen on input when 'thinking_forced_open' enforces a reasoning block
- inject this prefix before the first accumulated segment in 'reasoning_content', then clear it to avoid duplication
- repeat the capture on every new 'start_think' detection to properly handle partial/streaming flows
* refactor: address review feedback from ngxson
* debug: say goodbye to curl -N, hello one-click raw stream
- adds a new checkbox in the WebUI to display raw LLM output without backend parsing or frontend Markdown rendering
* Update tools/server/webui/src/lib/components/app/chat/ChatMessages/ChatMessage.svelte

* webui: add Storybook example for raw LLM output and scope reasoning format toggle per story
- Added a Storybook example that showcases the chat message component in raw LLM output mode with the provided trace sample
- Updated every ChatMessage story to toggle the disableReasoningFormat setting so the raw-output rendering remains scoped to its own example
* npm run format
* chat-parser: address review feedback from ngxson

* webui: allow viewing conversations and sending messages even if llama-server is down
- Cached llama.cpp server properties in browser localStorage on startup, persisting successful fetches and reloading them when refresh attempts fail so the chat UI continues to render while the backend is unavailable.
- Cleared the stored server properties when resetting the store to prevent stale capability data after cache-backed operation.
- Kept the original error-splash behavior when no cached props exist so fresh installs still surface a clear failure state instead of rendering stale data.
* feat: Add UI for `props` endpoint unavailable + cleanup logic
* webui: extend cached props fallback to offline errors
Treat connection failures (refused, DNS, timeout, fetch) the same way as
server 5xx so the warning banner shows up when cache is available, instead
of falling back to a full error screen.
* webui: Left the chat form enabled when a server warning is present so operators can keep sending messages
e.g., to restart the backend over llama-swap, even while cached /props data is in use
* chore: update webui build output
