In streaming mode when prompt exceeds context length, the server returns
HTTP 200 status code with a JSON error in the body. This is very
confusing and inconsistent with all other inference engines which return
HTTP 4xx error in this case.
This patch fixes this problem and makes the server return HTTP 400 in
such cases.

* 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

* 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

This commit adds support for using an externally started llama-server
instance for the server tests. This can be enabled by setting the
DEBUG_EXTERNAL environment variable.
The motivation for this is to allow debugging of the server itself
when investigating a test failure. Instructions for how to do this are
added to the README.md file in the tests directory.
* server: fix SSE and OpenAI compatibility for error messages when streaming
* server: remove obsolete event parameter and use required data fieldname instead
* server : include usage statistics only when user request them
When serving the OpenAI compatible API, we should check if
{"stream_options": {"include_usage": true} is set in the request when
deciding whether we should send usage statistics
closes: #16048
* add unit test
* requirements : update transformers/torch for Embedding Gemma
This commit updates the requirements to support converting
Embedding Gemma 300m models.
The motivation for this change is that during development I had a local
copy of the transformers package which is what I used for converting
the models. This was a mistake on my part and I should have also updated
my transformers version to the official release.
I had checked the requirements/requirements-convert_legacy_llama.txt
file and noted that the version was >=4.45.1,<5.0.0 and came to the
conculusion that no updated would be needed, this assumed that
Embedding Gemma would be in a transformers release at the time
Commit fb15d649ed ("llama : add support
for EmbeddingGemma 300m (#15798)) was merged. So anyone wanting to
convert themselves would be able to do so. However, Embedding Gemma is
a preview release and this commit updates the requirements to use this
preview release.

This does not yet do the part to identify the invocation tokens and only

* feat: Identify alora invocation sequences
This currently limits to a single enabled alora per slot. Multiple aloras
with different invocation sequences would be possible, but it would require
a more complex integration of the adapter toggling and is not really a well
studied case for alora since it's unclear if one alora can reuse cache from
previous prefill computed with a different alora.

Signed-off-by: Gabe Goodhart <ghart@us.ibm.com>
* feat: Only reuse cache for tokens before the alora invocation start
This is a bit of an edge case, but theoretically a user could try the same
query with the alora disabled (just using the base model), then retry with
the alora. The cached tokens from the first pass should be invalid.
Branch: gabe-l-hart/alora-support
Signed-off-by: Gabe Goodhart <ghart@us.ibm.com>
* feat: Handle un-cached tokens that come before the alora activation
The solution is to only fill up to the token before the invocation start in
the batch if there are any tokens to be prefilled between those pulled from
cache and the invocation start. When this is detected, the alora is
temporarily disabled with a scale of 0.0, then immediately re-enabled after
it has been initialized for the internal graph. Since the batch does not
complete the prompt tokens, the remaining prompt tokens are handled in the
next task, pulling all of the non-alora tokens from cache and proceeding
with prefill for the alora tokens.

* fix: Support backwards-compatibility for "invocation_string" in adapter_config.json
While this has been replaced in the PEFT PR in favor of
alora_invocation_tokens, the existing adapters in the ibm-granite org on HF
use "invocation_string," so this will enable backwards compatibility and
enable testing now (before PEFT PR changes have percolated everywhere).

From what I can tell, this started as a Qwen3-specific keyword, but from
the use in `chat.cpp` translates this inputs.enable_thinking to the right
thinking kwarg for the given model, this is now more of a standardized
kwarg, so it should always override the default value when sent as part of
the chat_template_kwargs field in the API.

a 422 (Unprocessable Entity), but right now it's coming back as a 500.
