+## 1. Overview
+
+### Context
+
+Commit `49be664` ("bump pom.xml version 4.1.0 -> 4.20", 2025-06-20) was the last commit made by the original project author (Konstantin Herud) before Claude took over maintenance. It corresponded to llama.cpp version **b4916** and library version **4.2.0**.
+
+The first Claude-authored commit (`f7dfc20a`, PR #1, 2026-03-22) added `CLAUDE.md` and began a long series of incremental improvements across CI, tests, C++ internals, and Java API surface.

+## 2. llama.cpp Version Upgrades
+
+The project went through 23 llama.cpp upgrades, starting from b4916 (baseline) up to b8913 (current). Each upgrade required compatibility fixes to the C++ bridge layer.
+

+
+**Current pinned version: b8913.**
+
+### Key Breaking Changes Encountered and Fixed
+
+- **b7217–b7433**: `common_init_result` became `common_init_result_ptr`; access changed to `->model()` / `->context()`.
+- **b7433**: `n_parallel` default changed to sentinel `-1`; Java bindings must resolve to `1`.
+- **b7783**: `build_info` string moved — local definition removed, replaced by call to `std::string(llama_build_info())` from new `build-info.h`.
+- **b7858**: `common_chat_syntax` renamed to `common_chat_parser_params`; `to_json_oaicompat<json>()` template removed; `ensure_tool_call_ids_set()` → `set_tool_call_ids()`.
+- **b7864**: Full speculative decoding redesign.
+- **b8808–b8831**: CMake target `common` renamed to `llama-common`; required updating `target_link_libraries`.
+- **b8854–b8887**: `common_chat_msg_diff_to_json_oaicompat` removed from header; project now defines it locally in the bridge layer.
+- **Windows x86 (b8831)**: `__InterlockedIncrement64` unavailable on 32-bit MSVC; fixed via `src/main/cpp/compat/ggml_x86_compat.c`.
+
+## 3. C++ Architecture Overhaul — server.hpp Replacement
+
+### The Fundamental Change
+
+At baseline, the project maintained `server.hpp` — a 3,271-line hand-ported fork of the entire llama.cpp server. This file duplicated enormous amounts of logic from upstream and had to be manually updated on every llama.cpp upgrade, which was the single biggest maintenance burden.
+
+**This file was deleted entirely** (PR #96, phase 1). Instead the project now compiles the upstream server source files directly:
+
+```cmake
+# Old: had to port/maintain server.hpp in-tree
+# New: upstream sources compiled directly into jllama
+target_sources(jllama PRIVATE
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-context.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-queue.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-task.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-models.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-common.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-chat.cpp
+)
+```
+
+### Migration Path (PRs #96, #97)
+
+The migration happened in multiple phases:
+
+1. **Phase 1** (PR #96): Compiled upstream server TUs into `jllama`; replaced hand-ported `server.hpp` shim with minimal upstream includes. Rewrote `jllama.cpp` to use the upstream reader-based server API.
+2. **Phase 2** (PR #96): Replaced manual task dispatch loops with upstream `post_tasks()` / reader registration pattern; fixed embedding batches and rerank batches.
+3. **Phase 3** (PR #96): Deleted dead code from `utils.hpp` (base64 copy, slot macros); deleted `server.hpp` shim entirely; inlined upstream includes directly.
+4. **Phase 4–7** (PR #96): Eliminated duplication patterns, extracted helpers, removed dead code (format_logit_bias, parse_lora_request wrapper, require_single_task_id_impl, etc.).
+5. **Post-merge refactoring** (PR #97): Extracted `build_indexed_token_task`, replaced local `format_rerank`/`format_infill` with upstream equivalents, routed FIM-token check through `server_context_meta`, applied runtime `n_threads` in `configureParallelInference`.
+
+### File Size Evolution
+
+| File | At 49be664 | At HEAD |
+|------|-----------|---------|
+| `server.hpp` | 3,271 lines | **DELETED** |
+| `jllama.cpp` | 853 lines | 1,259 lines (+48% but covers 26 methods vs 15) |
+| `utils.hpp` | 855 lines | 74 lines (−91%: most content moved upstream) |
+| `jni_helpers.hpp` | — | 196 lines (new) |
+| `json_helpers.hpp` | — | 196 lines (new) |
+| `compat/ggml_x86_compat.c` | — | 11 lines (new, Windows x86 fix) |
+
+### utils.hpp Cleanup
+
+The original `utils.hpp` (855 lines) contained many symbols that were duplicated from or superseded by upstream. Claude's refactoring removed:
+- Local `base64_decode` / `base64_encode` (switched to upstream versions)
+- Local `tokens_to_str` overloads (switched to upstream `const`-ref versions)
+- Local `format_embeddings_response_oaicompat` (switched to upstream)
+- Local `format_response_rerank` → `format_prompt_rerank` (upstream)
+- Local `format_infill` → `format_prompt_infill` (upstream)
+- Slot macros, dead commented blocks
+
+What remains (74 lines) is genuinely project-specific: `str_to_bytes`, `token_piece_value`, `token_piece_oai_fields`, `is_valid_utf8`, `strip_flag_from_argv`.
+
+## 4. JNI Bridge Redesign — JSON-based Communication
+
+### Old Architecture (at 49be664)
+
+The original JNI bridge constructed Java objects directly in C++:
+- `receiveCompletion(int taskId)` returned a `jobject` (`LlamaOutput`) built in JNI by calling Java constructors via `NewObject` / `SetObjectField`.
+- `rerank(String query, String... documents)` returned a `LlamaOutput` constructed in JNI.
+- The bridge held a reference to the hand-ported `server.hpp` context directly.
+
+### New Architecture (at HEAD)
+
+Every method that previously returned a constructed Java object now returns a **JSON string** (`jstring`). Java then parses it with Jackson:
+
+| Old JNI signature | New JNI signature |
+|-------------------|-------------------|
+| `jobject receiveCompletion(int taskId)` | `jstring receiveCompletionJson(int taskId)` |
+| `jobject rerank(String, String...)` | `jstring handleRerank(String, String...)` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleCompletions(String)` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleCompletionsOai(String)` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleInfill(String)` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleEmbeddings(String, boolean)` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleTokenize(String, boolean, boolean)` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleDetokenize(int[])` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleSlotAction(int, int, String)` |
+| (new) | `jstring getModelMetaJson()` |
+| (new) | `jstring handleChatCompletions(String)` |
+| (new) | `jint requestChatCompletion(String)` |
+| (new) | `jboolean configureParallelInference(String)` |
+
+**Total JNI methods: 15 (old) → 26 (new)**
+
+### Benefits of JSON-string Bridge
+
+- No JNI field mapping fragility — adding fields to the result only requires updating the Java-side parser.
+- Upstream server result types (`server_task_result_cmpl_final`, etc.) call their own `to_json()` methods; the bridge simply serialises the result.
+- Java-side parsing is testable without a JVM/model (pure unit tests with Jackson).
+- The `jllama_context` wrapper struct manages the `server_context` value member, background worker thread, cached `vocab`, saved `params`, and a `readers` map for streaming tasks — all cleanly encapsulated.
+
+## 5. New C++ Helper Files
+
+Three new C++ files were added that did not exist at baseline:
+
+### `src/main/cpp/json_helpers.hpp` (196 lines)
+
+Pure data-transform layer. Takes `nlohmann::json` / `server_task_result_ptr` / plain C++ types as input; returns `json`, `std::vector`, `std::optional`, plain C++ types. Zero JNI calls, zero llama state. Fully unit-testable.
+
+Functions:
+- `get_result_error_message` — extracts error string from a result
+- `results_to_json` — converts a vector of completion results to JSON
+- `rerank_results_to_json` — converts rerank results to JSON
+- `parse_encoding_format` — parses embedding encoding format string
+- `extract_embedding_prompt` — extracts prompt for embedding requests
+- `is_infill_request` — checks if request is a fill-in-the-middle request
+- `parse_slot_prompt_similarity` — parses slot prompt similarity threshold
+- `parse_positive_int_config` — validated positive integer config parsing
+
+### `src/main/cpp/jni_helpers.hpp` (196 lines)
+
+JNI bridge helpers split into two layers:
+
+**Layer A** (no server headers required): handle management
+- `jllama_context` struct — owns `server_context`, background thread, `vocab`, `params`, `readers` map
+- `get_jllama_context_impl` — reads Java handle, returns `jllama_context*`
+- `require_json_field_impl` — throws if key absent
+- `jint_array_to_tokens_impl` — Java `int[]` → `std::vector<int32_t>`
+
+**Layer B** (requires upstream server headers): orchestration
+- `json_to_jstring_impl` — serialises `json` to JNI string via `dump()`
+- `results_to_jstring_impl` — delegates to `results_to_json` then `json_to_jstring_impl`
+- `vec_to_jarray_impl<JArray,JElem,CppElem>` — generic vector → JNI primitive array
+- `embedding_to_jfloat_array_impl` — `std::vector<float>` → `jfloatArray`
+- `tokens_to_jint_array_impl` — `std::vector<int32_t>` → `jintArray`
+
+### `src/main/cpp/compat/ggml_x86_compat.c` (11 lines)
+
+Windows x86 compatibility shim. The upstream `ggml_graph_next_uid()` calls `_InterlockedIncrement64` via `<intrin.h>` on x86, but that intrinsic is unavailable on 32-bit MSVC. This file provides `__cdecl _InterlockedIncrement64` via `InterlockedIncrement64` (CMPXCHG8B), added to `ggml-base` via `target_sources` guarded by `MSVC AND CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 4`.
+
+## 6. Java API Additions and Changes
+
+### 6.1 LlamaModel — New Methods
+
+The `LlamaModel` API grew significantly. Methods that were present at baseline are preserved; new methods were added:
+
+**New high-level convenience methods:**
+- `chatComplete(InferenceParameters)` — single-turn OAI chat completion; returns full response as `String`
+- `chatCompleteText(InferenceParameters)` — same but returns only the text content (strips JSON envelope)
+- `generateChat(InferenceParameters)` — streaming chat via `LlamaIterable` (same pattern as `generate()`)
+- `getModelMeta()` — returns a `ModelMeta` object with model architecture, name, description fields
+- `getMetrics()` — returns server metrics as JSON string
+- `eraseSlot(int slotId)` — erases a KV cache slot
+- `saveSlot(int slotId, String filepath)` — saves a slot to disk
+- `restoreSlot(int slotId, String filepath)` — restores a slot from disk
+- `configureParallelInference(String configJson)` — runtime reconfiguration
+
+**New raw endpoint methods (JSON in / JSON out):**
+- `handleCompletions(String paramsJson)` — non-OAI-compat completions
+- `handleCompletionsOai(String paramsJson)` — OAI-compatible completions
+- `handleInfill(String paramsJson)` — fill-in-the-middle
+- `handleEmbeddings(String paramsJson, boolean oaiCompat)` — embeddings with optional OAI format
+- `handleTokenize(String content, boolean addSpecial, boolean withPieces)` — tokenization
+- `handleDetokenize(int[] tokens)` — detokenization
+
+**Changed signatures:**
+- `receiveCompletion(int)` returning `LlamaOutput` → `receiveCompletionJson(int)` returning `String` (JSON); `LlamaOutput` is reconstructed in Java via `CompletionResponseParser`
+- `rerank(String, String...)` returning `LlamaOutput` → now delegates to `handleRerank(String, String...)` which returns JSON; `RerankResponseParser` handles parsing
+
+**Original methods preserved (all present):**
+`complete()`, `generate()`, `embed()`, `encode()`, `decode()`, `setLogger()`, `close()`, `cancelCompletion()`, `encode()`, `jsonSchemaToGrammar()`, `applyTemplate()`, `rerank(boolean, String, String...)`
+
+### 6.2 ModelMeta — GGUF Metadata Exposure
+
+New class `ModelMeta.java` (added in PR #91 alongside b8841 upgrade):
+- `architecture` — model architecture string from GGUF metadata
+- `name` — model name
+- `description` — model description
+- Accessible via `LlamaModel.getModelMeta()`
+- Native method `getModelMetaJson()` returns JSON; Jackson deserialises into `ModelMeta`
+
+### 6.3 StopReason Enum
+
+New enum `StopReason.java`:
+- Values: `EOS` (end of sequence token), `WORD` (stop word match), `LIMIT` (token limit), `NONE`
+- Added `stopType` field to `LlamaOutput`
+- `StopReason.fromStopType(String)` factory — replaces earlier `fromJson()` that was brittle
+- Previously no stop reason was exposed to the caller at all
+
+### 6.4 LlamaOutput Changes
+
+At baseline `LlamaOutput` had: `text`, `probabilities` (Map<String,Float>), `stop` (boolean).
+
+At HEAD `LlamaOutput` also has:
+- `stopReason` field of type `StopReason`
+- `probabilities` is now correctly populated via `CompletionResponseParser.parseProbabilities()` — the original `parseProbabilities()` was a **silent no-op stub** (it returned without parsing anything)
+
+### 6.5 LlamaIterator / LlamaIterable — AutoCloseable
+
+At baseline neither `LlamaIterator` nor `LlamaIterable` implemented `AutoCloseable`. If a caller abandoned iteration early, the server task slot was never released — a resource leak.
+
+Both classes now implement `AutoCloseable`. The `close()` method calls `model.cancelCompletion(taskId)` followed by `model.releaseTask(taskId)`, releasing the slot even if iteration did not run to completion. Usage with try-with-resources is now safe and idiomatic.
+
+### 6.6 ModelParameters Expansion
+
+Original: 964 lines. Current: 1,418 lines.
+
+Major additions not present at baseline:
+- `enableEmbedding()`, `enableReranking()` — explicit mode flags
+- `setChatTemplate(String)`, `setChatTemplateKwargs(Map)` — chat template wiring
+- `setVocabOnly()` — lightweight tokenization-only mode
+- `setParallel(int)`, `enableContBatching()`, `disableContBatching()` — parallel slots
+- `setCacheReuse(int)`, `setSlotSavePath(String)`, `setSlotPromptSimilarity(float)` — slot management
+- `setModelUrl(String)`, `setHfRepo(String)`, `setHfFile(String)`, `setHfToken(String)` — remote model download
+- `setModelDraft(String)`, `setDraftMax/Min/PMin(...)`, `setCtxSizeDraft(int)` — speculative decoding
+- `enableJinja()` — Jinja chat template support
+- `setCacheTypeK/V(CacheType)`, `setDefragThold(float)` — KV cache configuration
+- `setKvUnified(boolean)`, `setCacheRamMib(int)` — memory management
+- `setClearIdle(boolean)` → mapped to `cache_idle_slots` in b8854+
+- `setFlag(ModelFlag)` — unified flag application via `ModelFlag` enum
+- Logging: `disableLog()`, `setLogFile()`, `setVerbose()`, `setLogVerbosity()`, `enableLogPrefix()`, `enableLogTimestamps()`
+- GPU: `setDevices()`, `setGpuLayers()`, `setSplitMode()`, `setTensorSplit()`, `setMainGpu()`
+- NUMA: `setNuma(NumaStrategy)`
+- Control vectors: `setControlVectorLayerRange()`
+- All sampling params migrated from `InferenceParameters` into `ModelParameters` (DRY principle; they were duplicated before)
+
+### 6.7 InferenceParameters — Chat Support
+
+At baseline: 546 lines. Current: 554 lines (minimal net change — inference params are deliberately kept slim).
+
+Additions:
+- `setMessages(String systemMessage, List<Pair<String,String>> messages)` — already existed at baseline
+- `setUseChatTemplate(boolean)` — already existed at baseline
+- Internal plumbing for chat completion wiring
+- Serialization now uses Jackson's `ParameterJsonSerializer` instead of manual string concatenation
+
+## 7. Enum Refactoring — CliArg Interface and ModelFlag
+
+### CliArg Interface
+
+New interface `CliArg.java` (19 lines):
+```java
+public interface CliArg {
+    String getArgValue();
+}
+```
+All enums that produce CLI flag values (`CacheType`, `GpuSplitMode`, `MiroStat`, `NumaStrategy`, `PoolingType`, `RopeScalingType`, `Sampler`, `LogFormat`) now implement `CliArg`. This unifies enum serialization: `ModelParameters` and `InferenceParameters` can call `arg.getArgValue()` generically instead of each enum having its own ad-hoc serialization path.
+
+**Bug fixed by PoolingType refactor**: `setPoolingType(UNSPECIFIED)` previously emitted `--pooling unspecified` which caused llama.cpp to error. It now skips the flag entirely (upstream uses the absence of `--pooling` to mean unspecified).
+
+### ModelFlag Enum
+
+New enum `ModelFlag.java` (115 lines) centralises all boolean flag arguments that are written as standalone CLI flags (e.g., `--flash-attn`, `--mlock`, `--no-mmap`, `--embedding`, `--reranking`, etc.).
+
+At baseline these were scattered as individual boolean fields in `ModelParameters` with separate serialization logic per field. `ModelFlag` consolidates them and `setFlag(ModelFlag)` is the single write path.
+
+All 20+ boolean flags from the original `ModelParameters` are mapped to `ModelFlag` values, with the old `enableX()` / `disableX()` methods delegating to `setFlag(ModelFlag.X)` for backward compatibility.
+
+### Enum Test Coverage
+
+All existing enums gained dedicated test classes in `src/test/java/de/kherud/llama/args/`:
+- `CacheTypeTest`, `GpuSplitModeTest`, `MiroStatTest`, `NumaStrategyTest`, `PoolingTypeTest`, `RopeScalingTypeTest`, `SamplerTest`, `LogFormatTest`, `ModelFlagTest`
+
+Each test verifies `getArgValue()` returns the exact CLI string expected by llama.cpp, protecting against typos in flag names.
+
+## 8. JSON Layer — New java/json/ Package
+
+Four new classes in `src/main/java/de/kherud/llama/json/` replace the original brittle manual JSON parsing:
+
+### CompletionResponseParser (128 lines)
+Parses JSON responses from `receiveCompletionJson()` into `LlamaOutput`. Key responsibilities:
+- Extracts `content` field as the text output
+- Parses `stop_type` into `StopReason`
+- Parses `probabilities` from the `completion_probabilities` array — **this was a no-op in the original code**
+- Returns `null` for non-stop tokens (streaming delimiter)
+
+### ChatResponseParser (89 lines)
+Parses OAI-compatible chat completion responses:
+- Handles streaming delta format (`choices[0].delta.content`)
+- Handles non-streaming format (`choices[0].message.content`)
+- Extracts finish reason, usage stats
+
+### RerankResponseParser (67 lines)
+Parses rerank results:
+- Extracts `relevance_score` from each result object
+- Maps back to original document order
+- Returns `List<Pair<String, Float>>` matching the original API contract
+
+### ParameterJsonSerializer (244 lines)
+Serialises `InferenceParameters` and `ModelParameters` to JSON strings using Jackson. Replaces the original manual string-building approach (`StringBuilder` appending `"key": value` fragments), which was fragile and hard to test. Now Jackson handles escaping, null omission, and type conversion.
+
+## 9. Jackson Dependency Added
+
+`jackson-databind` was added to `pom.xml` as a runtime dependency (current version 2.21.2). This is the only new production dependency added since baseline. The JNA dependency that was present in some older iterations was not in the baseline `pom.xml` and was not added.
+
+At baseline `pom.xml` had only:
+- `junit` (test scope)
+- `annotations` (JetBrains, compile scope)
+
+At HEAD:
+- `junit` (test scope) — preserved
+- `annotations` (JetBrains, compile scope) — preserved
+- `jackson-databind` 2.21.2 (compile scope) — **new**
+
+The pom.xml `<source>/<target>` compiler setting was also changed from `11` to `1.8` (Java 8 compatibility) to ensure the library runs on older JVMs. Version number was bumped from `4.2.0` to reflect the new feature releases.
+
+## 10. Chat Completion Integration
+
+Chat completion was the largest new feature added (PR #61, b8611 era). It required:
+
+**C++ side:**
+- New JNI methods `handleChatCompletions(String)` and `requestChatCompletion(String)` in `jllama.cpp`
+- The FIM-token compatibility check (`handleInfill`) was routed through `server_context_meta` in a later refactor
+- Chat parameters are dispatched through the upstream `server_context` using the same reader-based task system as completions
+
+**Java side:**
+- `chatComplete(InferenceParameters)` — single-turn, returns full response text
+- `chatCompleteText(InferenceParameters)` — convenience wrapper returning only the text content
+- `generateChat(InferenceParameters)` — streaming via `LlamaIterable` (same `Iterator` pattern as `generate()`)
+- `ChatResponseParser` handles JSON → string extraction
+- `InferenceParameters.setMessages()` and `setUseChatTemplate()` were present at baseline for template application; now they drive the new OAI chat endpoint as well
+
+**Chat template kwargs** (`setChatTemplateKwargs(Map<String,String>)`): added to `ModelParameters` to pass custom Jinja template variables (e.g., for models that use `enable_thinking`).
+
+**`@Ignore`-annotated `ChatExample.java`**: an example file was added showing basic chat usage, annotated `@Ignore` in test context so it doesn't run in CI without a model.
+
+**Test coverage**: `ChatScenarioTest.java` (complex multi-turn scenarios) and `ChatAdvancedTest.java` (16 tests for untested inference parameters) cover the chat path comprehensively.
+
+## 11. Server Management API
+
+New server management capabilities not present at baseline:
+
+### Metrics
+`getMetrics()` calls `handleSlotAction(METRICS, ...)` and returns the server's JSON metrics blob (timing info, slot utilisation, etc.). Exposed directly as a JSON string; callers can parse with Jackson if needed.
+
+### Slot Management
+- `eraseSlot(int slotId)` — erases a KV cache slot, freeing memory without unloading the model
+- `saveSlot(int slotId, String filepath)` — serialises a slot's KV cache state to disk
+- `restoreSlot(int slotId, String filepath)` — restores a previously saved slot from disk
+
+These map to `handleSlotAction(action, slotId, filename)` in JNI.
+
+### Runtime Parallel Inference Configuration
+`configureParallelInference(String configJson)` — reconfigures the number of parallel inference slots at runtime without reloading the model. Returns `true` on success. The method validates its inputs (non-null, positive values) even though it is currently a no-op in the implementation (documented as such).
+
+### Context Shifting and Prompt Cache Tests
+`MemoryManagementTest.java` covers:
+- Context shifting (what happens when KV cache fills up)
+- Prompt-cache prefix reuse (verifying the cache reuse path works correctly)
+
+## 12. Direct Endpoint API (Raw JSON Handlers)
+
+At baseline there was no way to call the server endpoints directly with raw JSON. All access went through the higher-level Java API methods. The new raw handlers expose the full upstream server API:
+
+| Method | Endpoint equivalent | Returns |
+|--------|-------------------|---------|
+| `handleCompletions(String)` | POST /completions | JSON string |
+| `handleCompletionsOai(String)` | POST /v1/completions | JSON string (OAI-compat) |
+| `handleInfill(String)` | POST /infill | JSON string |
+| `handleEmbeddings(String, boolean)` | POST /embeddings or /v1/embeddings | JSON string |
+| `handleTokenize(String, boolean, boolean)` | POST /tokenize | JSON string |
+| `handleDetokenize(int[])` | POST /detokenize | JSON string |
+
+These are particularly useful for:
+- Passing request parameters that don't have Java-side wrappers yet
+- Integrating with existing HTTP-client code that already produces JSON request bodies
+- Testing and introspection of raw server behavior
+- Implementing custom middleware layers on the Java side
+
+All return raw JSON strings that callers can parse with any JSON library. `ResponseJsonStructureTest.java` verifies the structural shape of each endpoint's response JSON.
+
+## 13. Testing — Java (2 files → 36 files, 673+ @Test methods)
+
+At baseline there were exactly **2 test files** (`LlamaModelTest.java`, `RerankingModelTest.java`) with a combined ~14 test methods, all requiring a loaded model.
+
+At HEAD there are **36 test files** with **673 @Test annotations**.
+
+### Test Files Added (not present at baseline)
+
+**Model-dependent integration tests (require loaded model):**
+- `LlamaModelTest.java` — greatly expanded (was 12 tests; now covers more scenarios)
+- `LlamaEmbeddingsTest.java` — embedding-specific tests (OAI compat, batched, fit param)
+- `ChatAdvancedTest.java` — 16 tests for inference parameters in chat context
+- `ChatScenarioTest.java` — multi-turn complex scenarios
+- `MemoryManagementTest.java` — context shifting, prompt-cache prefix reuse, 382 lines
+- `ErrorHandlingTest.java` — error path coverage (empty input, invalid params)
+- `ResponseJsonStructureTest.java` — raw endpoint JSON structure verification
+- `ConfigureParallelInferenceTest.java` — parallel inference configuration
+- `JsonEndpointParametersTest.java` — JSON endpoint parameter verification
+- `ModelMetaTest.java` — model metadata (architecture, name)
+
+**Model-free unit tests (no model required):**
+- `LlamaOutputTest.java` — output parsing, probabilities
+- `LlamaLoaderTest.java` — library extraction and path logic
+- `LlamaExceptionTest.java` — exception construction and messages
+- `ModelParametersTest.java` — parameter serialization
+- `ModelParametersExtendedTest.java` — 1,077 lines, exhaustive parameter coverage
+- `InferenceParametersTest.java` — inference parameter serialization
+- `StopReasonTest.java` — stop reason parsing
+- `OSInfoTest.java` — OS/arch detection
+- `PairTest.java` — Pair utility class
+- `LogLevelTest.java` — log level enum
+- `TestConstants.java` — shared constants (ngl, model paths)
+
+**Enum tests (all model-free):**
+- `CacheTypeTest`, `GpuSplitModeTest`, `LogFormatTest`, `MiroStatTest`, `ModelFlagTest`, `NumaStrategyTest`, `PoolingTypeTest`, `RopeScalingTypeTest`, `SamplerTest`
+
+**JSON parser tests (all model-free):**
+- `ChatResponseParserTest.java` — OAI chat response parsing
+- `CompletionResponseParserTest.java` — completion response parsing, probabilities
+- `ParameterJsonSerializerTest.java` — parameter serialization round-trips
+- `RerankResponseParserTest.java` — rerank result parsing
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+- `ClaudeGenerated.java` — `@Retention(RUNTIME)` annotation marking Claude-generated tests for traceability
+
+### Key Testing Improvements
+
+1. **`@ClaudeGenerated` annotation**: All Claude-written tests are annotated for easy identification and regeneration.
+2. **`TestConstants.java`**: Shared `NGL` constant and model path constants eliminate duplication across test classes.
+3. **Model-skip guard**: `LlamaModelTest` now uses `@BeforeClass` to skip gracefully if no model is present, rather than failing.
+4. **Comprehensive probabilities coverage**: `CompletionResponseParserTest` verifies the probabilities parsing that was a no-op at baseline.
+5. **`@Parameterized` data-provider pattern**: Enum tests use parameterized runners for clean coverage of all values.
+
+## 14. Testing — C++ (0 files → 4 files, 413 tests)
+
+At baseline there were **zero C++ tests**. At HEAD there are **413 C++ tests** across 4 files, built with GoogleTest and run via CTest.
+
+The tests require **no JVM and no model file**. They test pure data structures using mock objects.
+
+### Test Files
+
+| File | Tests | What it covers |
+|------|-------|---------------|
+| `test_utils.cpp` | 156 | Upstream helpers: `server_tokens`, `server_grammar_trigger`, `gen_tool_call_id`, `json_value`, `json_get_nested_values`, UTF-8 helpers, `format_response_rerank`, `format_embeddings_response_oaicompat`, `oaicompat_completion_params_parse`, `oaicompat_chat_params_parse`, `are_lora_equal`, `strip_flag_from_argv`, `token_piece_value`, SSE formatters |
+| `test_server.cpp` | 179 | Upstream result types and `to_json()` methods: `result_timings`, `task_params::to_json()`, `completion_token_output`, all `server_task_result_cmpl_partial` variants (non-OAI, OAI, chat, anthropic, stream), all `server_task_result_cmpl_final` variants (non-OAI, OAI, OAI-chat, OAI-chat-stream, anthropic, anthropic-stream, tool_calls, dispatcher), `server_task_result_embd`, `server_task_result_rerank`, `server_task_result_metrics`, slot save/load/erase/lora, error, `format_error_response`, `server_task::need_sampling()`, `n_tokens()`, `params_from_json_cmpl()` (full parsing pipeline + grammar routing + error paths), `response_fields` projection |
+| `test_json_helpers.cpp` | 42 | All 8 functions in `json_helpers.hpp`: `get_result_error_message`, `results_to_json`, `rerank_results_to_json`, `parse_encoding_format`, `extract_embedding_prompt`, `is_infill_request`, `parse_slot_prompt_similarity`, `parse_positive_int_config` |
+| `test_jni_helpers.cpp` | 36 | All functions in `jni_helpers.hpp` using a zero-filled `JNINativeInterface_` mock; tests `jllama_context` default values, readers map lifecycle, `get_jllama_context_impl`, `require_json_field_impl`, `json_to_jstring_impl`, `embedding_to_jfloat_array_impl`, `tokens_to_jint_array_impl` |
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
+cmake --build build --config Release -j$(nproc)
+ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
+```
+
+Upstream server TUs are linked into `jllama_test`, so all tests compile against the real upstream types.
+
+### Mock JNI Pattern
+
+Tests in `test_jni_helpers.cpp` use a zero-filled `JNINativeInterface_` struct as a mock JNI environment. Only the specific function pointers needed for each test are patched. Any unpatched call crashes immediately (null function pointer), so missing stubs are caught as test failures rather than silently skipped.
+
+### CI Integration
+
+C++ tests run in CI on Linux, macOS, and Windows (see section 15). The test binary is built as part of the native library build step in every CI job.
+
+## 15. CI/CD Pipeline Overhaul
+
+### Before (at 49be664)
+
+- `ci.yml` (105 lines) — Linux-only CI; macOS and Windows jobs were present but commented out
+- `release.yaml` (230 lines) — release workflow; CUDA job was commented out
+- Only Linux x86_64 received automated test runs
+- No model validation step before running tests
+
+### After (at HEAD)
+
+`ci.yml` was deleted and merged into `release.yaml` (now 621 lines). One unified workflow covers CI, testing, and release.
+
+**Build jobs (cross-compilation + native):**
+- Cross-Compile manylinux_2_28 x86_64 (CUDA) — gated behind `enable_cuda_build` flag
+- Cross-Compile manylinux2014 x86_64 — Linux x86_64 release binary
+- Cross-Compile Linux aarch64 (LTS)
+- Cross-Compile Android aarch64
+- Build and Test macOS 15 arm64 (no Metal)
+- Build and Test macOS 14 arm64 (Metal)
+- Build and Test Windows 2022 x86_64
+- Build and Test Windows 2022 x86
+
+**Test jobs (separate from build, download pre-built artifacts):**
+- C++ Tests Ubuntu Latest x86_64
+- Build and Test macOS 15 arm64 (Metal)
+- Java Tests Ubuntu Latest x86_64
+- Java Tests macOS 14 arm64 (Metal)
+- Java Tests macOS 15 arm64 (no Metal)
+- Java Tests Windows Latest x86_64
+- Package JARs — assembles downloadable JARs including CUDA variant
+
+### Key CI Improvements
+
+**CUDA pipeline**: Re-enabled and fully wired. Added `enable_cuda_build` workflow_dispatch boolean input (default `false`) to gate the slow CUDA job — it always runs on `release` events but can be skipped during PR feedback loops.
+
+**macOS Metal**: Two macOS jobs — one with Metal GPU (macos-14 arm64) and one without (macos-15 with `ngl=0`). The Metal crash on macOS was fixed by setting `ngl=0` for the non-Metal job.
+
+**Windows x86**: Added 32-bit Windows build; required the `ggml_x86_compat.c` shim for the `__InterlockedIncrement64` symbol.
+
+**CPU detection**: All build and test jobs run CPU detection commands at the start (Linux: `/proc/cpuinfo`, macOS: `sysctl`, Windows: `Get-WmiObject`) to aid debugging of CPU-specific crashes in CI.
+
+**Model validation**: `.github/validate-models.sh` and `.github/validate-models.bat` (new files) validate downloaded GGUF files before running tests, preventing opaque native crashes from corrupt downloads.
+
+**Error artifacts**: On test failure, CI uploads error logs (JVM crash files, surefire dump streams, core dumps) as artifacts for post-mortem analysis.
+
+**Java version**: Test jobs use Java 8 (`zulu` distribution) to verify Java 8 compatibility.
+
+**Memory reporting**: All test jobs report available memory before and after running tests.
+
+**Dockcross images**: Updated to current versions (`.github/dockcross/` files updated).
+
+**Node.js 24**: All GitHub Actions updated to Node.js 24-compatible versions to fix deprecation warnings.
+
+**`@Ignore`-free `RerankingModelTest`**: Restored; skip logic added via `@BeforeClass` model validation rather than blanket `@Ignore`.
+
+## 16. Build System — CMakeLists.txt
+
+The `CMakeLists.txt` grew from a simple fetch-and-link script to a feature-rich build definition. Key changes:
+
+### llama.cpp Version
+`GIT_TAG` updated from `b4916` to `b8913`.
+
+### nlohmann/json Version
+Updated from `v3.11.3` to `v3.12.0`.
+
+### New: LLAMA_CURL=ON
+Enabled HTTPS model downloads via curl. On Windows, also sets `LLAMA_BUILD_BORINGSSL ON` to include OpenSSL DLLs for HTTPS support. The CURL flag was `OFF` by default at baseline.
+
+### New: Upstream Server TU Compilation
+The biggest CMake change: upstream server source files are now compiled directly into `jllama`:
+```cmake
+target_sources(jllama PRIVATE
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-context.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-queue.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-task.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-models.cpp  # excluded on Android
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-common.cpp
+    ${llama_src}/tools/server/server-chat.cpp
+)
+```
+`server-models.cpp` is excluded on Android (uses `getifaddrs`).
+
+### New: Android Build Fixes
+- `LLAMA_BUILD_TOOLS` and `LLAMA_BUILD_SERVER` set to `OFF` on Android
+- `__ANDROID_API__=24` compile definition to expose `getifaddrs`
+- Android API 24 enforcement in CI
+
+### New: Instruction-Set Policy (Haswell baseline)
+Added explicit CPU instruction-set flags: SSE4.2, AVX, FMA, F16C for x86-64. AVX-512 is explicitly disabled to prevent SIGILL on CPUs that report AVX-512 support but crash on certain instructions (known issue with AMD runners). GGML_BMI2 disabled on 32-bit targets.
+
+### New: GCC < 9 Compatibility
+`link_libraries(stdc++fs)` added for GCC < 9 cross-compilation toolchains.
+
+### New: BUILD_TESTING Support
+When `BUILD_TESTING=ON`, CMake builds `jllama_test` binary using GoogleTest, linking all upstream server TUs plus the project helpers.
+
+### CMake Target Rename (b8831)
+`target_link_libraries` updated from `common` to `llama-common` after upstream renamed the CMake target.
+
+### Windows x86 compat
+`target_sources(ggml-base PRIVATE compat/ggml_x86_compat.c)` guarded by `MSVC AND CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 4`.
+
+### LLAMA_INSTALL_VERSION Fallback
+Added `set(LLAMA_INSTALL_VERSION "0.0.0" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)` fallback to fix Android standalone build when `mtmd` is consumed via FetchContent without a version set.
+
+## 17. New Documentation Files
+
+The following documentation files were added (none existed at baseline):
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `CLAUDE.md` | Primary guide for Claude Code: build commands, architecture overview, llama.cpp upgrade procedure, API compatibility tables, CUDA upgrade instructions, C++ test methodology. 540+ lines. Kept continuously up-to-date as the project evolved. |
+| `REFACTORING.md` | Chronological record of all refactoring phases (server.hpp replacement, duplication elimination, helper extraction). 423 lines. Serves as an audit trail of architectural decisions. |
+| `CHAT_INTEGRATION_SUMMARY.md` | Detailed notes on the chat completion integration: what was added, how the threading model works, API usage examples. 128 lines. |
+| `CLAUDE_TEST_GENERATION_PROMPT.md` | A reusable prompt template for regenerating or extending Claude-generated tests. 210 lines. Enables reproducible test generation for future contributors. |
+| `llama-cpp.patch.md` | Documents a patch proposal submitted upstream to llama.cpp. Tracks the status of the proposal and what workaround the project uses in the meantime. 255 lines. |
+| `.claude/commands/find-cpp-duplication.md` | Skill definition for the `/find-cpp-duplication` Claude Code command. Enables Claude to scan for C++ duplication patterns on demand. |
+
+**README.md** was also updated to reflect the current llama.cpp version badge, new API examples, and updated code snippets.
+

+### Architecture Quality
+
+The most significant architectural change is the **deletion of `server.hpp`**. The 3,271-line hand-ported fork was the single biggest upgrade burden — every llama.cpp release required manually reconciling diverged code. By compiling upstream server TUs directly, future upgrades only need to handle API-level breaking changes (tracked in `CLAUDE.md`), not implementation-level drift.
+
+The introduction of `json_helpers.hpp` and `jni_helpers.hpp` with their strict semantic split (pure transforms vs. JNI bridge) enables **C++ unit testing without a JVM or model** — a capability the project previously had no path toward.
+
+The Jackson-based JSON layer on the Java side makes response parsing **testable, type-safe, and maintainable** without fragile substring scanning or JNI field construction.
+
+### Nothing Is Missing
+
+All 22 original Java source files are present in evolved form. All original test methods are present (some moved to dedicated test classes). All CI platforms that were active at baseline are still active; the commented-out macOS, Windows, and CUDA jobs are now fully operational.
+
+The project has grown from a minimal Java wrapper (~1,900 lines total production C++) into a comprehensive, well-tested binding (~1,725 lines C++ in project files + upstream server TUs) with an expanded Java API surface covering chat, server management, metadata, and direct endpoint access.
