metal : fix NORM/RMS_NORM for row lengths that leave a partial simdgroup (#26708)
ggml_metal_op_norm sized the threadgroup with
`nth = std::min(nth, args.ne00_t)`, which can leave nth not a multiple of
the simdgroup size. The kernels finish their row reduction with a
cross-simdgroup step where each lane of the last simdgroup reads one
per-simdgroup partial sum out of shmem_f32:
When the last simdgroup is partial it has fewer lanes than the
threadgroup has simdgroups, so the tail of the partial sums is never
read and the row sum is too small. For ne00_t = 33 nth becomes 33: two
simdgroups, but only one lane in the second, so one of the two partial
sums is dropped. The mean and variance are then wrong for the whole row.
Round ne00_t up to a whole number of simdgroups instead. Rounding up
rather than dropping the clamp keeps the threadgroup as small as
possible: deleting the line would raise nth to the next power of two
(ne00_t = 544 -> 1024 instead of 544), which costs idle lanes on 26 row
lengths below 8192 that were already correct, including 1536 and 3584.
GGML_OP_NORM is affected as well as GGML_OP_RMS_NORM - both dispatch
through ggml_metal_op_norm.
No mainstream LLM hidden size hits this: ne00_t is ne00/4 on the
vectorized path, so 4096, 8192, 2048 and friends all give a multiple of
32. It is reachable from other norm shapes, e.g. 320-channel norms.
Add NORM and RMS_NORM cases for ne0 = 33, 132 and 260 across the
existing eps values. 33 exercises the scalar path and 132/260 the
vectorized one, since only those divide by 4.

* webui: load the model selected via ?model=
Opening the WebUI with ?model= selects the model but doesn't load it. The load only starts when you send your first message, so you wait for it then.
This loads it as soon as the page opens, while you're still typing your prompt. It's what the model dropdown already does, and it isn't awaited, so the UI still works while the model loads.
This is the path the Llama macOS app uses to open the WebUI, so it's a common way in.

metal : avoid `threadgroup` matrix array instantiation in kernel_lightning_indexer (#26646)
- In MSL, declaring an array of matrix types like `threadgroup half4x4` causes
a 'no matching constructor' compilation error because MSL matrix types do not
have zero-argument default constructors and threadgroup variables cannot have
initializers.
- Fix this by declaring a POD `threadgroup half` array instead and casting
to `threadgroup half4x4 *` for matrix indexing.
On integrated GPUs (APUs), the scheduler can legitimately place a graph
node's output on the host-visible buffer, which ggml_cuda_compute_forward
already handles. The debug assert in ggml_cuda_graph_evaluate_and_capture
required every node output to be on the device buffer, so a debug build
aborts on such a node (e.g. attn_residual ADD -> ROCm_Host on RDNA3.5).
The source-tensor assert directly below already permits this via the
integrated + cuda_host exception; apply the same exception to the node's
own output buffer. Debug-only; no effect on release/compute.
Fixes test-recurrent-state-rollback on gfx1151 (Strix Halo).
* ci: enable unified memory for ROCm gfx1151 job

coherence. Remove once the underlying ROCm/HIP issue is fixed.
* test-llama-archs: skip jamba on HIP backend
jamba produces incorrect output (~0.55 NMSE vs CPU) on the HIP backend on
RDNA3.5 (gfx1151); the SSM kernels need separate investigation. Skip it
for now, matching the existing per-backend carve-outs (WebGPU), so the
ROCm CI can run the test for the remaining architectures.
* ci: use HIP_LAUNCH_BLOCKING for ROCm gfx1151 job
The gfx1151 ROCm CI job produced incorrect inference output (qwen3 perplexity ~88 vs ~9.4) due to an async-execution correctness issue in the HIP path. Serializing kernel launches with HIP_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 restores correctness. This replaces the earlier GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY workaround, which did not fix batched inference.
* test-backend-sampler: skip top-k subtests on HIP backend
The ROCm backend does not support the TOP_K/ARGSORT op at vocab scale (no CUB; bitonic argsort is capped at ncols <= 1024), so top-k/top-p backend samplers cannot be offloaded. The penalties, set_sampler, mixed, and top_p subtests assert that offload happened, so they fail on HIP. Skip them until TOP_K is supported on the ROCm backend.

* sampling: add fix to ensure stable numerical results. Preserve masked logits as -Inf and no longer generate NaN.
* sampling: enhance penalty comparison tests with masking penalties logic
* add comments on padding
* sampling: add comments on modifications
* add the unit test to cover masked-out token as -INF
* validate repeat penalty to ensure it is finite and greater than 0; add tests for invalid values
* refactor: test functions to share logic and be less verbose
* add test to cover case where previously penalized token is not part of candidates
* remove comments
* remove redundant penalty_last_n initialization and validation in common_sampler_init
* add support for penalties in sampler chain with configurable positions
* add validation for penalty parameters and enhance tests for non-finite values
* add context parameter to common_sampler_init and set default for penalty_last_n
* add llama_n_ctx parameter to common_sampler_init for improved sampler initialization
* replace penalty_last_n x n_candidates comparison matrix with a vocabulary-sized count tensor
* add tests for backend penalties sampling without filler entries , token_count.size() == n_active == n_max == 64
* add test for backend penalties sampling after top-p with large history window

metal: implement DSv4 Lightning Indexer (#25893)
* metal: implement F16 Lightning Indexer
- Implement GGML_OP_LIGHTNING_INDEXER for 128-dimensional, 64-head inputs
with F32 queries and weights plus F16 keys and masks.
- Add tiled and tail kernels and test KV lengths around 8- and 64-element
boundaries.
Assisted-by: Codex
* metal: stage Lightning Indexer K tiles
- Stage and dequantize K in F16 threadgroup memory before simdgroup matrix loads.
- Zero-fill partial tiles and guard stores so all KV segments use the same numerical path.
- Support F32, F16, BF16, Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, Q5_1, and Q8_0 K caches.
llama-bench (--mmap 1, -fa on, -p 512, -n 128; d=0/10k/20k):
- Implement GGML_OP_DSV4_HC_COMB, GGML_OP_DSV4_HC_PRE, and
GGML_OP_DSV4_HC_POST with SIMDgroup register and shuffle optimized kernels.
- Add Metal dispatch and support plumbing and test the production Sinkhorn
iteration count and embedding width.

common: support the DSpark sidecar resolution (#26458)
The dspark- files resolve like the other speculative sidecars: the
-hfd tag applies to them, a requested sidecar resolves without a full
model at the tag, and an explicit -md selection disables the discovery.
When no type is requested, dspark outranks dflash in the auto-selection
since its sidecar carries the extra Markov head.

opencl: bugfix increment ref_count in ggml_backend_opencl_init() (#26162)
Incrementing `ref_count` at the beginning is important later
in the `free()` method of the `ggml_backend_opencl_context` at program end.
If we do not increment the `ref_count`, the result would be -1 here,
and consequently, the profiling data would not be flushed and written.
