Declare provider settings, and give the context figure a denominator
Two things a session could not say, and one it was saying wrongly.
**Every provider setting is reachable.** `-np 1`, the MTP draft depth, the
tool set, the sampling parameters -- most were hardcoded to what measured
best on this machine, which is right as a default and wrong as a constant:
the next machine has a different GPU and a different core count, and
nobody running this app can edit the source. `DriverKind::params` now
declares what a provider takes -- key, label, shape, what blank means, and
whether a change waits for a restart -- and the phone renders whatever
arrives, on the spawn form and in the session settings dialog. Adding a
setting to a driver is one entry in that table and no app change.
`POST /sessions/{id}/params` takes the whole map, so an absent key is the
instruction to unset; the sampling half applies at once and the session is
told in words which of the rest are waiting for a restart.
`tools` is one of them, because it is the biggest lever on a tight
context: the seven built-in definitions are ~1,300 tokens of every prompt
(2,191 against 887 with none). `"none"` omits the flag rather than passing
it on, since `--tools none` is `unknown tool "none"` and a server that
exits.
**The context figure has a denominator.** `Event::ContextWindow` carries
it, read from `llama-server`'s `/props` once the model is up -- the
measurement rather than the request, since a session that named no context
size gets the model's own. Neither coding CLI states its window, so those
keep the bare figure: "2,042" and "2,042 / 8,192" are deliberately
different-looking, and a missing ceiling is never drawn as a proportion of
an assumed one.
**And the numerator was wrong**, by the length of the last reply: it was
the prompt alone, so a five-word answer reported 2,042 against a slot
holding 2,355. It is the turn's total now, which matches `llama-server`'s
own `n_tokens` to within a token.
Two defects the review found, both of which would have shipped: changing
settings on a *stopped* session reported "no process running, so it can't
take new settings", when a stopped session is exactly when you would set
them for the next start; and `GET /tools` answers **403** rather than an
empty list on a server started without `--tools`, so reading it as a
failure made the no-tools session one that never started.
Verified against real models: settings spawned and changed live, the
restart note, a session with two tools and one with none, and the counter
checked against the server's own slot occupancy each time.

Give llama.cpp sessions tools, web search and a model picker
A llama session was a chat box: no tools, a fixed model, no permission
mode, and a model name drawn as the path the file sits at. It now runs the
agent loop itself, which is what the pieces below all hang off.
Tools are `llama-server`'s own (`--tools all`), which that server both
publishes and runs -- `GET /tools` for the definitions, `POST /tools` to
call one. Web search is Exa's MCP server, reached from this backend rather
than from the machine serving the model: that is what llama.cpp's own web
UI does, and it puts the search on the machine with a route out instead of
the one with the GPU. `llama-server`'s `--mcp-servers-json` can only spawn
local commands, so using it would have meant a Node bridge on every
machine that serves a model.
Driving the loop is what makes the permission gate ours. Two modes,
`manual` and `bypassPermissions`, which is what the mechanism has: the web
UI asks before every call and remembers the tools you say "always" to. The
allowances fold back out of the transcript's own answers, so they survive
a restart and a model change without being stored anywhere else.
Also here, because tools made each of them matter:
- **Loading is a state.** A 12 GB model takes twenty seconds to reach
memory and refuses everything until it has; the session used to report
`running` for that whole time, and a message sent meanwhile came back as
an error. It is `loading` now, and the message waits.
- **The model can be changed.** A `llama-server` holds one model, so this
stops it and starts another. The conversation survives because it was
never in the server.
- **Models are named, not pathed.** `general.name` read out of the file
itself -- over ssh too, in the round trip the spawn was already making.
Where two models share a name the file name breaks the tie.
- **`-np 1`, and the MTP draft head where the file has one.** Measured on
the 27B here: 41.5 tok/s plain, 61.4 with `--spec-type draft-mtp` at one
slot, and 28 with it at four -- speculating against a split KV cache is
worse than not speculating. The flag is conditional because asking for a
head that is not there makes `llama-server` exit.
- **A refusal says what to do.** Tool results are thousands of tokens, so
an overrun context is now ordinary; it was "http status: 400" and is now
the server's own "exceeds the available context size, try increasing it".
`GET /machines/{id}/models` is gone: the provider models route answers the
same question, and two answers to one question is how a picker comes to
offer a model the spawn screen does not.
Verified end to end against real models: a tool call asked and allowed, an
Exa search, a shell command, a 27B loaded while a message waited on it, a
model switch mid-session, a second message queued behind a running turn,
and the whole of it again on a session running over ssh.
