Roadmap N: AMQP Cluster Nervous System [COMPLETE]

All 15 tasks are done. Final commit: f0689ac feat: Roadmap N — AMQP cluster nervous system complete.

Backlog

B1 — Context loss in follow-up questions (investigation)
B2 — Bang-prefixed (!) search routing
B3 — Docker distribution (planning doc at docker.md)
B4 — RAG Corpus Management UI (NEXT) — browse, search, edit, delete individual RAG entries. Backend endpoints at routers/rag_admin.py, frontend panel in templates/index.html
B5 — Default model auto-pull on first start — download the default GGUF model from HuggingFace (or configured mirror) if models/ is empty when llama-server first starts. Configurable via CAIC_DEFAULT_MODEL_URL or similar. Needs a startup probe that checks model availability and a download-with-progress endpoint.
HTTPS / reverse proxy (Caddy)
Conversation search/filter and export tooling
B6 — Waterfall direction toggle — add a setting to flip message order between top-down (newest at top, waterfall) and bottom-up (newest at bottom, standard chat). Needs localStorage persistence and a UI toggle (maybe in settings modal or topbar).
B7 — Apple Silicon worker support — no Apple hardware needed for implementation; llama.cpp Metal backend exposes the same OpenAI-compat API. Changes:
- gpu.py — add get_gpu_stats_macos() path using system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType for VRAM, sysctl hw.memsize for unified memory
- hardware.py — platform.system() == "Darwin" branch skips rocm-smi, calls macOS VRAM probe instead
- node_agent/agent.py — detect macOS, register with platform: darwin, backend: metal
- routers/models.py — get_gpu_stats() dispatch to Metal stats on macOS
- Tests — add test fixture mocking a darwin worker registration + ping/pong; coordinator treats it identically to CUDA/ROCm workers
