Why this matters

Model selection requires comparing download size, estimated memory, catalog context, reported speed and quantization before spending time or disk space on a download.

Behavior and beta integration

Updated the original comparison PR onto current public-beta. Compare up to three catalog models side by side, prevent duplicate selection and clear the comparison. Unknown values are explicitly "Not reported" and fit/throughput estimates are not runtime guarantees. Both compact portal and full library are covered; no download, activation or provider route is changed.

Overlap check

Searched all-state compare-model PRs and Models.jsx/ModelComparison production paths. This is the original canonical model-comparison PR. Catalog/model benchmark work such as #4885 measures throughput; it does not provide side-by-side selection, and its beta behavior is retained. No duplicate was created.

Validation

• npm test -- --maxWorkers=2 src/pages/Models src/hooks/__tests__/useModels: 5 suites, 94 passed.
• Rendered-page regressions in compact and full views verify table values, unknown fields, clearing, and no download/activation calls. Follow-up c1266e9f99a7f02d617b3bbaae2e38109638e27c explicitly exercises duplicate selection against the current catalog.
• Focused ESLint: zero errors, existing JSX warnings. Focused pre-commit and diff check passed.
• Baseline dashboard tests/build and Linux smoke/simulation passed; full make gate/BATS retain existing environment/fixture failures. No model download or hardware throughput validation is claimed.

Tradeoffs and rollback

Comparison is local view state and uses current catalog metadata, not new benchmarks. Removing the component has no persisted state, service restart or rollback migration. Ready for independent review, not approval to merge.

Final beta-batch receipt — 2026-09-16

Candidate: c1266e9f99a7f02d617b3bbaae2e38109638e27c. GitHub check audit at 11:07:47 UTC: 37 successful, 4 skipped, 0 failed, 0 pending, matching this exact head; OPEN, public-beta base, Ready (not Draft). Skipped checks are not counted as passed tests.

The combined integration head, 5b9877184ceab0751c6c9fe3564c73303e78f0a3, contains all 30 exact candidate heads on public-beta 3c186f3f12ba21dad7b7266ec5449393529abb00. At this exact final SHA: full dashboard 171 files / 1,274 tests passed; full dashboard API 3,124 passed, 2 skipped; advice boundary suite 23 passed; Bark request/legacy-empty cases 9 passed; changed-file secret/key/size hooks and diff check passed. Shell-only hooks had no matching changed files.

Additional combined checks ran at predecessor 28adf1aa5c0710d3c0de13df7870629e24977fec: Token Spy 130 passed, 1 skipped; CLI contracts 16 passed; real backup/restore round trip passed; Open Interpreter HTTP/runner cases 4 passed; make lint smoke simulate, frontend lint (zero errors, 624 warnings) and production build passed. The only final-head differences are two test files (advice dialog fixtures and Bark's empty-text expectation); production files are identical. These results are not live GPU/model or service rollout qualification.

Qualified merge order: #5490 → #5494 → #5495 → #3848 → #3846 → #3845 → #3844 → #3843 → #3841 → #3838 → #3837 → #3836 → #3835 → #3834 → #3809 → #3808 → #3807 → #3806 → #3804 → #3803 → #3802 → #3801 → #3800 → #3712 → #3711 → #3710 → #3709 → #3708 → #3852 → #3849. Branches are independently useful. Shared-file merging required only preserving the union of four adjacent Makefile registrations: provider-probe redirects, healthcheck error-body, Milvus persistence and healthcheck latency. Production code in these 30 merged without manual conflict resolution. External advice/Bark overlaps have separate pairwise receipts in #5494/#3808. Recheck the combined tree if other shared-file PRs land first; do not drop test registrations.

Full release qualification remains not green: baseline make gate fails a no-sudo Docker fallback fixture; 5 of 428 BATS cases fail in this environment; all-files private-key scanning flags two pre-existing dummy-key fixtures. No checks were disabled. CI success and Ready status do not replace independent human review, especially for auth backups and Milvus data migration. No upstream merge or deployment was performed.

Thanks for this contribution. public-beta was promoted into main on 2026-09-24 and no longer receives changes, so we're closing pull requests that target it. This isn't a judgment on the change itself. If it's still needed, please rebase onto main and open a focused PR. See #7253 for details and the contribution policy.
