server: (webui) add --webui-config (#18028)
* server/webui: add server-side WebUI config support
Add CLI arguments --webui-config (inline JSON) and --webui-config-file
(file path) to configure WebUI default settings from server side.
Backend changes:
- Parse JSON once in server_context::load_model() for performance
- Cache parsed config in webui_settings member (zero overhead on /props)
- Add proper error handling in router mode with try/catch
- Expose webui_settings in /props endpoint for both router and child modes
Frontend changes:
- Add 14 configurable WebUI settings via parameter sync
- Add tests for webui settings extraction
- Fix subpath support with base path in API calls

arg: allow -kvu flag for llama-perplexity (#18117)
The -kvu (--kv-unified) flag is required for hellaswag and winogrande
benchmarks which use coupled sequences. Without unified KV cache,
these benchmarks fail with:
split_equal: sequential split is not supported when there are
coupled sequences in the input batch (you may need to use the -kvu flag)
This change adds LLAMA_EXAMPLE_PERPLEXITY to the allowed examples for
the -kvu argument, enabling its use with llama-perplexity.

server: fix crash when batch > ubatch with embeddings (#17912)
* server: fix crash when batch > ubatch with embeddings (#12836)
Fixes #12836 where the server crashes with GGML_ASSERT failure when
running with embeddings enabled and n_batch > n_ubatch.
Root cause: Embeddings use non-causal attention which requires all
tokens to be processed within a single ubatch. When n_batch > n_ubatch,
the server attempts to split processing, causing assertion failure.
Solution:
- Add parameter validation in main() after common_params_parse()
- When embeddings enabled and n_batch > n_ubatch:
* Log warnings explaining the issue
* Automatically set n_batch = n_ubatch
* Prevent server crash
This follows the approach suggested by @ggerganov in issue #12836.
Note: This supersedes stalled PR #12940 which attempted a runtime fix
in the old examples/server/server.cpp location. This implementation
validates at startup in tools/server/server.cpp (current location).
Testing:
- Build: Compiles successfully
- Validation triggers: Warns when -b > -ub with --embedding
- Auto-correction works: Adjusts n_batch = n_ubatch
- No false positives: Valid params don't trigger warnings
- Verified on macOS M3 Pro with embedding model
* Update tools/server/server.cpp

Some backend depends on CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to create temporary file like metal backened.
Missing CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY will cause some cmake error like permission denied (try to copy file to root).
