0.5.2.0: mesh routing hardening, telemetry, and Linux swarm ops
Minor release since v0.5.1.0 (2026-08-11 DMG). Rolls up routing pool fixes, opt-in gateway-led mesh capacity coordination, windowed telemetry, discovery probe hygiene, and Linux swarm helper scripts. Includes everything in 0.5.1.0.
New
- Gateway-led mesh capacity coordinator (opt-in, PR #71) —
mesh_coordinatorgateway mode with heartbeatrouting_capacitygossip,mesh_capacityselection helpers, and localagent.max_concurrencyself-admission. Dashboard and macOS Settings expose the controls. Default off preserves legacy decentralized selection. - Windowed telemetry traffic rows (PR #66) —
GET /netllm/v1/telemetryand dashboard Home / Serving views show windowed source/scenario throughput; scroll position preserved across dashboard tab refreshes. - Linux swarm ops helpers (PR #53) —
packaging/linux/install-swarm-firewall.shandinstall-ollama-concurrency.shfor LAN mesh firewall rules and Ollama concurrency tuning on Debian/RPM installs.
Fixed
- Pool-scoped overflow (PR #71) — Separate model pools on one host no longer union into cross-capability overflow (chat requests could rewrite to embedding models). Overflow is scoped to pools listing the requested name, filtered by capability, with one served model bound per
(pool, host). - Sticky host binding (PR #71) — Pool effectiveness checks on dashboard and macOS align with alias-aware candidacy.
- Symmetric pool spillover on gateways (PR #70) —
local_spillovertiered overflow among pool hosts works symmetrically when the gateway's local tier is saturated. - Mesh candidacy for pool overflow (PR #68) — Unified mesh candidacy so pool overflow reaches LAN peers instead of collapsing to local-only substitution.
- Discovery best-probe selection (PR #52) — Prefer the probe URL with the richest model catalog; skip zero-model URL merge when
provider_urlslists multiple ports. - macOS pool model matcher (PR #71) —
@MainActorSettings helper markednonisolatedfor menubar-lifecycle CI.
