Add the add-on runtime to LocalAI: manifests, the host operation broker, admin gating by account role, the add-on UI bundle builder and the SDK for add-on pages. Move the navigation to Chat, Models, Add-ons and Settings, with pinned add-ons in the sidebar and an Add-ons drawer. Ship the first-party add-ons (voice, face, fine-tuning, quantization) as packages for linux/amd64, linux/arm64 and darwin/arm64. Intel macOS (darwin/amd64) is enabled in the platform files. Squashed from the review branch. The tree is unchanged; the pre-squash history is kept on a local backup branch. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Write job state, configs and imported models with mode 0600, clean the paths that are read from disk, and mark the route tables, the header name and the retry jitter as reviewed false positives. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 gosec Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
POST /api/addons/dispatch forwarded the recovery and update mutations to the owner for any administrator key, which skipped the browser-session rule of their own routes. Refuse those actions there. Also apply the same-origin rule to the legacy token cookie, not only the session cookie, because the global CSRF check lets same-site requests through. Do not fail the start of LocalAI when an add-on library cannot be refreshed; log it and keep the installed add-ons up.

…cked An upgrade takes a verified backup before the new package migrates the data. A reinstall over retained data has no running generation to stop, so the new package would migrate it without one. Refuse a reinstall whose data format differs from the retained one. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 go Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Submit held the state lock across the catalog lookup and the package download, so the apps list and status reads stalled for the whole install. Serialize Submit and Reconcile with their own lock and drop the state lock around the fetch only. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 go Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

The Operate hub already has Settings as a tab, so the sidebar no longer shows a separate Settings entry. The /app/settings route stays, and the hub tab still reaches it. The navigation test now expects Chat, Models and Add-ons as the primary items. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
…tadata Browsers do not send Sec-Fetch-* headers over plain HTTP on an address that is not localhost, so every add-on request from a LAN address was refused as cross-site. Keep refusing a Sec-Fetch-Site value other than same-origin. When the header is absent, accept the request only if its Origin, or failing that its Referer, names the same host and port as the request. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 go Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
A 403 or 400 answer showed a generic message and hid the reason in the response body, so a refusal by the browser guard could not be told from a missing permission. Show error.message from the body as the server sent it, and keep the generic text when the body has none. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The owner was only enabled when an embedding host set the add-on config, so a normal run answered every add-on request as unavailable. Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode (default named-user, or local-owner; anything else stops startup). The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the carrier uses loopback keys made at each start and kept in memory. --addons-enabled=false turns the owner off completely. Named-user mode needs the account database. With authentication off the owner stays off and a warning says how to use local-owner. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 go Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The single-node loopback transport took a new ephemeral port at each start. The owner stores its address in its identity file and refuses to start when the address differs, so every start after the first failed with "invalid addon owner configuration". Choose the port once, keep it in the add-on state root (loopback-port, mode 0600) and reuse it. If the port is taken at a later start, stop with an error that names the port and --addons-enabled=false, because another port would break the identity check. The keys and certificate stay in memory.

…n against A page written for the web UI imports React, the router, i18next and a few shared components. The add-on builder refuses a bundle that holds a host file, so moving such a page into an add-on meant rewriting it. Add a compat mode to the shared builder. It answers those imports from a directory of stand-ins that read the SDK, bundles the dynamic import of the page code into the one output file, and collects the style sheets the page imports. A relative import that is not in the add-on's own source resolves to the file at the same path under the compat directory. Widen the SDK for these pages, without a version change: more host components (spinner, modal, lightbox, model picker) and hooks (models, resources, voice profiles, operations, MCP client), a style on icons, the icon names the pages draw, sdk.navigation.openApp to open a page of the app (only addresses under /app, and the way back as the only state) and sdk.portal. The shell passes the query string to the page. The stand-ins cover the router (the tab in the path, the model in the query), the translator over the host locale files, the core API calls through sdk.core.fetch, and byte copies of the pure helpers, with tests that keep the copies equal to the originals.

Studio and Talk were compiled into the web bundle and always listed in the Add-ons drawer. They are add-ons now, like Voice, Face, fine-tuning and quantization: a person installs and removes them, the drawer lists them only while they are installed, and they are packaged the same way. Move the pages, their components, hooks and helpers into addons/studio and addons/talk. Each has a manifest, a UI bundle, a release platform matrix and a catalog template, and is built by the compat mode of the shared builder. The core API stays where it is: the pages call it with the signed-in person's session. The history keeps its browser storage keys. The unit tests of the moved helpers move with them. In the core, drop the two pages, the Create group of the sidebar (Chat joins Home and Models in the old layout), the built-in catalog entries (the catalog is empty) and the talk locale namespace. The old addresses (/app/studio, /app/talk and the generator links) redirect to the add-on pages, with the model as ?model=. The Home /studio command is offered only while the Studio add-on is installed and opens it. The release workflow and its tests now list seven add-ons. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 go node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The pages are add-ons now, so a spec that draws one installs the real built bundle first: the apps list names it and its module and style sheet are served from the build output, the way the add-on owner serves them. studio-addon.js holds that helper, and the Studio and Talk fixtures call it. Update the specs for the new addresses (/app/addons/studio/studio, the model as ?model=), the session permission the add-on route needs, the legacy redirects, the Home /studio command that appears only while the add-on is installed, and the sidebar without a Create group. Add specs for the add-ons themselves: every tab draws with no script error, the shell titles the page once, the old addresses say so when the add-on is not installed, a button of the page reaches a core page with the way back, and the drawer lists both only after they are installed. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The drawer drew the icon of a built-in tile (Studio's palette was one) in a bare 40px box. Only the placeholder box was laid out as a centred grid with the 20px size, so the real icon sat in the top-left corner at the size of the page text. Give the built-in tile the same classes as the placeholder box, and check in a browser that the icon is centred. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Replace the built-in list (now empty) with the Studio and Talk add-on sections, the new targets of the old links, the Home command, and the seven packaged add-ons. Describe the SDK additions the pages use: components, hooks, icons, openApp and portal. Say on the Studio page that it is installed from the drawer. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The add-on shell titles the page, and the Studio overview no longer draws a second title, but the generator tabs keep theirs, so a bare h1 locator matched two elements. Click the first, which is the shell's. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The persisted port file was read with a path built from the add-on root, which gosec reports as a file inclusion through a variable. Open it through os.Root so the name cannot leave the root, even by a symbolic link, and require a regular file with no group or other access. A looser file now fails closed instead of being trusted. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Settings moved out of the sidebar into the Operate hub. The navigation spec still expected a sidebar link. Assert that the sidebar has no Settings entry, and that the Operate hub opens Settings as a tab. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 playwright Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Settings is a tab of the Operate hub and not a destination of its own, so the 404 page does not list it. Assert that it is absent. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 playwright Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
…d-on The image, video, sound and speech generators are pages of the Studio add-on now, and the old addresses redirect to it. Install the add-on with the Studio fixtures, open its pages and use its compose card, so the specs run against the page that exists. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 playwright Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The recommended models are a list inside the second step, so counting all list items read 3 only while the models were still loading. Count the step elements, which does not depend on the load order. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 playwright Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The spec served the list to the first request and failed the rest. The first request is not always the one from the page, so the page could get the failure first and show no list. Serve the list until the page shows it, then fail the refreshes. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 playwright Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
A server without authentication has no accounts, so named-user left the add-on owner off. Resolve the unset mode in one place: local-owner when authentication is off, named-user when it is on. A flag or environment value still wins, and an unknown value is still refused. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 go Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Add gallery/addons/index.yaml, a YAML index of the four first-party add-ons (fine-tuning, quantization, voice, face) in the library format. The entries come from addonpkg catalog over locally built linux/amd64 packages, so the digests pin those images. On the first start, when the owner has no sources.json, register the raw GitHub URL of that index on master as the "official" library and write the file. The file is then the record: a library the admin removes stays removed, and an existing file is never changed. --addons-official-library=false skips the default.

Each icon is a 256 by 256 PNG: a rounded square in one colour of the UI kit palette with a white outline glyph from the kit sprite. Fine-tuning uses sliders, quantization layers, voice waveform, face user, studio palette, talk phone and tables database. They were rendered with headless Chrome from the sprite paths.

The shared UI builder and the Tables builder copy ui/icon.png from the add-on source tree to the package unchanged when the file exists. They write the generated placeholder only when it does not.

The Voice add-on had four pages: recognition, library, create and speech, and the drawer listed two of them. It now has one page, "voice", and one drawer entry. Recognition, Library, Text to speech and From a recording are tabs of that page, drawn with the same tab strip the recognition page already used. The tab is the first path segment (voice/library), as in the Studio add-on, and the form that adds a voice is a view of the Library tab (voice/library/new). The old page names stay declared in the manifest. Each one redirects to its tab and keeps the query string, so saved links still open. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
/app/voice, /app/voice-library and /app/voice-library/new now open the matching tab of the Voice add-on page while the add-on is installed and running, and the core pages otherwise. The moved-page helper compares the first segment of the target with the declared pages, so a target can name a tab. The docs and the navigation spec list the new addresses. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The add-on unit tests render the tabs instead of the four pages. The Playwright spec checks the tab strip, the address of each tab, the missing Library tab for a member, and that the old page addresses of the add-on redirect to their tab with the query string kept. The migration table test follows the new targets. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The Home model picker sizes its menu from the viewport, and assumes the picker sits at the page gutter. In the Studio composer card the field is further in, so on a 390px screen the menu of the Sound expansion picker ended 7px past the right edge. Size the menu from the field it opens under instead. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist directory, and the build empties that directory first. A worker that started, or restarted after a failure, removed the files another worker was serving, so a Studio spec saw "the style sheet of the add-on could not be loaded". Build once in a global setup before the workers start. A run without the setup still builds per worker. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The mocked roster added the worker on the third read of /api/nodes. The shell and the page both read it, and which one asks first depends on load, so the page could take the new worker as part of the roster it opened with and never show it as found. The worker now joins after the page shows it is listening. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The spec delayed the answer by a fixed 800 ms and then looked for the skeleton. The assertion polls at growing intervals, so on a slow machine it could step over that window. The answer now waits until the skeleton has been seen, and the spec then checks that the skeleton goes away. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
pdf.js and its worker load on first use. The other specs in this file wait up to ten seconds for the result of that load. The first one waited five, and missed the tag on a busy machine. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The navigation spec serves the built Fine-tuning bundle, but nothing built it, so two specs failed on a fresh checkout when the dist folder was missing. The spec also built the Face bundle in a hook that every worker runs, and a build rewrites the folder the other workers serve. The global setup now builds Studio, Talk, Face and Fine-tuning once, before the workers start. The spec builds the two bundles itself only when it runs without the global setup. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The spec asserts that the page shows no alert. The Home page raises its own alert when the model list fails or a staging operation has failed, and both answers come from the shared test server. A slow reply or a failed install left there counted as an alert about the pin. The spec now fixes both answers, so the alert count tells only about the pin. The assertions are unchanged. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
The spec expected the register address to carry port 8089, so it failed on any other port. It now expects the origin the page was opened from. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-5-5 node Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

foundation, Tables, recovery, packaging, update detection and an end-to-end
Tables acceptance suite. A few residual items are listed under "Open items".
What
An add-on is an installable extension that runs as a managed process next to
LocalAI, and can bring tools for models, services, and UI. This PR adds:
journal and a single designated owner that supervises add-on processes.
assets through the owner over mutual TLS. If the owner is down, requests
fail closed; nothing runs locally.
host-owned admission and revocation that waits for admitted work.
Models, agents and tool calls can propose but never approve.

development(master only) andlatest(published release).Upgrade.
and an administrator view to browse, install, activate and manage add-ons.
slots (chat composer actions, per-message actions, navigation, settings
sections), plus approval-card and tool-result renderers.
operations, structured queries and row changes (no raw SQL), whole-database
sharing, a native UI, a "Select database" chat action, tools for models, and
private CSV export.
Why
LocalAI users want to extend it with tools and small apps without rebuilding
the host or giving every extension access to everything. The design keeps
authority in the host (identity, roles, approval, quotas) and keeps the add-on
code narrow.
