ODS 2.6.0 updates the stable line with remote-provider support, Model Switchboard and context selection, GPU reassignment rollback, rootless Linux repair, Windows/macOS native-runtime fixes, dashboard polish, and security hardening.

Highlights

• Remote provider direct/SSH egress, tunnel supervision, dashboard status, and peer model operations.
• Model Switchboard stable routing and verified context propagation across LLM applications.
• Verified NVIDIA and Linux AMD/ROCm GPU reassignment with rollback.
• Rootless Docker bind-mount ownership repair for Linux installs.
• Windows native llama-server metrics and reasoning flags, plus safer Lemonade stale-PID handling.
• Remote-provider DNS-rebinding/SSRF hardening through validated address pinning with preserved TLS identity.

Validation

• Product candidate: 07e2a21e3ccab197360009ebd3d66b4e6d4d0af2
• Base product commit: c292e00d5b60f6e4e6b331b2867346f9e9748a2c
• Gate result: green through six-host full-model finalize; strict User Green is not claimed because the long six-cycle model-management matrix was intentionally waived.
• Release-prep fleet run id: 2026-07-28T12-58-00Z-release-product-07e2a21e3cca-harness-19d43e6f9f25-hosts-tower2-strix-halo-spark-m5-mbp-windows-laptop-strixy
• Passed: regressions 16/16, zero-prereq bootstrap 6/6, fresh install, verify, cloud-mode contracts, dashboard, Hermes, UI policy, capabilities, lifecycle reinstall/restart, ods doctor, and full-model finalize across Tower2, Strix Halo, Spark, M5 MacBook Pro, Windows laptop, and Strixy.
• Known skipped/deferred surfaces: dgx-gpu01 excluded for unverified SSH host key; full model-management matrix intentionally stopped after cycle 1 passed on tower2 and strix-halo.
