ui-svelte: package updates

This improves the support for activity logging from the v1/responses and
v1/messages endpoints.

- add chat endpoint selection to Playground > Chat > Settings
- improve metrics extraction for streaming v1/messages and v1/responses
endpoints (tested with llama-server)

Fixes #742

+## Project Description:
+
+llama-swap is a light weight, transparent proxy server that provides automatic model swapping to llama.cpp's server.
+
+## Tech stack
+
+- golang
+- typescript, vite and svelt5 for UI (located in ui/)
+
+## Workflow Tasks
+
+- when summarizing changes only include details that require further action
+- just say "Done." when there is no further action
+- use the github CLI `gh` to create pull requests and work with github
+- Rules for creating pull requests:
+  - keep them short and focused on changes.
+  - never include a test plan
+  - write the summary using the same style rules as commit message
+
+## Testing
+
+- Follow test naming conventions like `TestProxyManager_<test name>`, `TestProcessGroup_<test name>`, etc.
+- Use `go test -v -run <name pattern for new tests>` to run any new tests you've written.
+- Run `gofmt -l .` before committing to verify formatting. Fix any reported files with `gofmt -w <file>`.
+- Use `make test-dev` after running new tests for a quick over all test run. This runs `go test` and `staticcheck`. Fix any static checking errors. Use this only when changes are made to any code under the `proxy/` directory
+- Use `make test-all` before completing work. This includes long running concurrency tests.
+- Use `make test-ui` after making changes to the UI in ui-svelte/
+
+### Commit message example format:
+
+```
+proxy: add new feature
+
+Add new feature that implements functionality X and Y.
+
+- key change 1
+- key change 2
+- key change 3
+
+fixes #123
+```
+
+## Code Reviews
+
+- use three levels High, Medium, Low severity
+- label each discovered issue with a label like H1, M2, L3 respectively
+- High severity are must fix issues (security, race conditions, critical bugs)
+- Medium severity are recommended improvements (coding style, missing functionality, inconsistencies)
+- Low severity are nice to have changes and nits
+- Include a suggestion with each discovered item
+- Limit your code review to three items with the highest priority first
+- Double check your discovered items and recommended remediations

 # llama-swap
 
-llama-swap is a light weight, transparent proxy server that provides automatic model swapping to llama.cpp's server.
+Run multiple generative AI models on your machine and hot-swap between them on demand. llama-swap works with any OpenAI and Anthropic API compatible server and is used by thousands of people to power their local AI workflows.
 
-Written in golang, it is very easy to install (single binary with no dependancies) and configure (single yaml file). To get started, download a pre-built binary or use the provided docker images.
+Built in Go for performance and simplicity, llama-swap has zero dependencies and is incredibly easy to set up. Get started in minutes - just one binary and one configuration file.
 
 ## Features:
 
-- ✅ Easy to deploy: single binary with no dependencies
-- ✅ Easy to config: single yaml file
+- ✅ Easy to deploy and configure: one binary, one configuration file. no external dependencies
 - ✅ On-demand model switching
+- ✅ Use any local OpenAI compatible server (llama.cpp, vllm, tabbyAPI, stable-diffusion.cpp, etc.)
+  - future proof, upgrade your inference servers at any time.
 - ✅ OpenAI API supported endpoints:
   - `v1/completions`
   - `v1/chat/completions`
+  - `v1/responses`
   - `v1/embeddings`
-  - `v1/rerank`
+  - `v1/models` - list available models
   - `v1/audio/speech` ([#36](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/36))
   - `v1/audio/transcriptions` ([docs](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/41#issuecomment-2722637867))
-- ✅ llama-swap custom API endpoints
-  - `/log` - remote log monitoring
-  - `/upstream/:model_id` - direct access to upstream HTTP server ([demo](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/pull/31))
-  - `/unload` - manually unload running models ([#58](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/58))
+  - `v1/audio/voices`
+  - `v1/images/generations`
+  - `v1/images/edits`
+- ✅ Anthropic API supported endpoints:
+  - `v1/messages`
+  - `v1/messages/count_tokens`
+- ✅ llama-server (llama.cpp) supported endpoints
+  - `v1/rerank`, `v1/reranking`, `/rerank`
+  - `/infill` - for code infilling
+  - `/completion` - for completion endpoint
+- ✅ SDAPI via [stable-diffusion.cpp's server](https://github.com/leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp/tree/master/examples/server)
+  - `/sdapi/v1/txt2img`
+  - `/sdapi/v1/img2img`
+  - `/sdapi/v1/loras` - requires `model` in request body to fetch the correct loras
+- ✅ llama-swap API
+  - `/ui` - web UI
+  - `/upstream/:model_id` - direct access to upstream server ([demo](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/pull/31))
   - `/running` - list currently running models ([#61](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/61))
-- ✅ Run multiple models at once with `profiles` ([docs](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/53#issuecomment-2660761741))
-- ✅ Automatic unloading of models after timeout by setting a `ttl`
-- ✅ Use any local OpenAI compatible server (llama.cpp, vllm, tabbyAPI, etc)
-- ✅ Docker and Podman support
-- ✅ Full control over server settings per model
+  - `POST /api/models/unload` - manually unload all running models ([#58](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/58))
+  - `POST /api/models/unload/:model_id` - unload a specific model
+  - `/logs` - remote log monitoring
+    - `GET /logs` returns buffered plain text logs.
+      - If `Accept: text/html` is sent, `/logs` redirects to `/ui/`.
+    - `GET /logs/stream` keeps the connection open for live log streaming.
+      - Stream endpoints send buffered history first by default; add `?no-history` to stream only new lines.
+    - `GET /logs/stream/proxy` streams proxy logs only.
+    - `GET /logs/stream/upstream` streams upstream process logs only.
+    - `GET /logs/stream/{model_id}` streams logs for one model (including IDs with slashes, like `author/model`).
+  - `/health` - just returns "OK"
+  - `/metrics` - system and GPU metrics for prometheus
+- ✅ API Key support - define keys to restrict access to API endpoints
+- ✅ Customizable
+  - Run concurrent models with a custom DSL swap matrix ([#643](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/643))
+  - Automatic unloading of models after timeout by setting a `ttl`
+  - Docker and Podman support using `cmd` and `cmdStop` together
+  - Preload models on startup with `hooks` ([#235](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/pull/235))
+  - Apply filters to requests to control inference with `stripParams`, `setParams` and `setParamsByID`
 
-## How does llama-swap work?
+### Web UI
 
-When a request is made to an OpenAI compatible endpoint, lama-swap will extract the `model` value and load the appropriate server configuration to serve it. If the wrong upstream server is running, it will be replaced with the correct one. This is where the "swap" part comes in. The upstream server is automatically swapped to the correct one to serve the request.
+llama-swap includes a real time web interface with a playground for testing out all sorts of local models:
 
-In the most basic configuration llama-swap handles one model at a time. For more advanced use cases, the `profiles` feature can load multiple models at the same time. You have complete control over how your system resources are used.

+## Installation
 
-    # where to reach the server started by cmd, make sure the ports match
-    proxy: http://127.0.0.1:8999
+llama-swap can be installed in multiple ways
 
-    # aliases names to use this model for
-    aliases:
-      - "gpt-4o-mini"
-      - "gpt-3.5-turbo"
+1. Docker
+2. Homebrew (OSX and Linux)
+3. WinGet
+4. From release binaries
+5. From source
 
-    # check this path for an HTTP 200 OK before serving requests
-    # default: /health to match llama.cpp
-    # use "none" to skip endpoint checking, but may cause HTTP errors
-    # until the model is ready
-    checkEndpoint: /custom-endpoint
+### Docker Install ([download images](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/pkgs/container/llama-swap))
 
-    # automatically unload the model after this many seconds
-    # ttl values must be a value greater than 0
-    # default: 0 = never unload model
-    ttl: 60
+Two types of container images are built nightly for llama-swap:
 
-    # `useModelName` overrides the model name in the request
-    # and sends a specific name to the upstream server
-    useModelName: "qwen:qwq"
+1. A unified container with llama-server, ik-llama-server, stable-diffusion.cpp, whisper.cpp and llama-swap built from source. This is only available for cuda and vulkan but has more capabilities. This one is recommended for use.
+2. A legacy image that is based on llama.cpp's images and llama-swap copied into the container. Use this one if you prefer to stay close to llama.cpp's container images.
 
-  # unlisted models do not show up in /v1/models or /upstream lists
-  # but they can still be requested as normal

-#  - each model must be listening on a unique address and port

-## Monitoring Logs
+## Configuration
 
-Open the `http://<host>/logs` with your browser to get a web interface with streaming logs.
-
-Of course, CLI access is also supported:
+```yaml
+# minimum viable config.yaml
 
+models:
+  model1:
+    cmd: llama-server --port ${PORT} --model /path/to/model.gguf
 ```
-# sends up to the last 10KB of logs
-curl http://host/logs'
 
-# streams logs
-curl -Ns 'http://host/logs/stream'
+That's all you need to get started:
+
+1. `models` - holds all model configurations
+2. `model1` - the ID used in API calls
+3. `cmd` - the command to run to start the server.
+4. `${PORT}` - an automatically assigned port number
+
+Almost all configuration settings are optional and can be added one step at a time:
+
+- Advanced features
+  - `matrix` to run concurrent models with a custom swap logic DSL
+  - `hooks` to run things on startup
+  - `macros` reusable snippets
+- Model customization
+  - `ttl` to automatically unload models
+  - `aliases` to use familiar model names (e.g., "gpt-4o-mini")
+  - `env` to pass custom environment variables to inference servers
+  - `cmdStop` gracefully stop Docker/Podman containers
+  - `useModelName` to override model names sent to upstream servers
+  - `${PORT}` automatic port variables for dynamic port assignment
+  - `filters` rewrite parts of requests before sending to the upstream server
+
+See the [configuration documentation](docs/configuration.md) for all options.
+
+## How does llama-swap work?
+
+When a request is made to an OpenAI compatible endpoint, llama-swap will extract the `model` value and load the appropriate server configuration to serve it. If the wrong upstream server is running, it will be replaced with the correct one. This is where the "swap" part comes in. The upstream server is automatically swapped to handle the request correctly.
+
+In the most basic configuration llama-swap handles one model at a time. For more advanced use cases, using a `matrix` allows multiple models to be loaded at the same time. You have complete control over how your system resources are used.
+
+## Reverse Proxy Configuration (nginx)
+
+If you deploy llama-swap behind nginx, disable response buffering for streaming endpoints. By default, nginx buffers responses which breaks Server‑Sent Events (SSE) and streaming chat completion. ([#236](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/236))
+
+Recommended nginx configuration snippets:
+
+```nginx
+# SSE for UI events/logs
+location /api/events {
+    proxy_pass http://your-llama-swap-backend;
+    proxy_buffering off;
+    proxy_cache off;
+}
+
+# Streaming chat completions (stream=true)
+location /v1/chat/completions {
+    proxy_pass http://your-llama-swap-backend;
+    proxy_buffering off;
+    proxy_cache off;
+}
+```
+
+As a safeguard, llama-swap also sets `X-Accel-Buffering: no` on SSE responses. However, explicitly disabling `proxy_buffering` at your reverse proxy is still recommended for reliable streaming behavior.
+
+## Monitoring Logs on the CLI
+
+```sh
+# sends up to the last 10KB of logs
+$ curl http://host/logs
+
+# streams combined logs
+curl -Ns http://host/logs/stream
+
+# stream llama-swap's proxy status logs
+curl -Ns http://host/logs/stream/proxy
+
+# stream logs from upstream processes that llama-swap loads
+curl -Ns http://host/logs/stream/upstream
+
+# stream logs only from a specific model
+curl -Ns http://host/logs/stream/{model_id}
 
 # stream and filter logs with linux pipes
 curl -Ns http://host/logs/stream | grep 'eval time'
 
-# skips history and just streams new log entries
+# appending ?no-history will disable sending buffered history first

+# Replace ring.Ring with Efficient Circular Byte Buffer
+
+## Overview
+
+Replace the inefficient `container/ring.Ring` implementation in `logMonitor.go` with a simple circular byte buffer that uses a single contiguous `[]byte` slice. This eliminates per-write allocations, improves cache locality, and correctly implements a 10KB buffer.
+
+## Current Issues
+
+1. `ring.New(10 * 1024)` creates 10,240 ring **elements**, not 10KB of storage
+2. Every `Write()` call allocates a new `[]byte` slice inside the lock
+3. `GetHistory()` iterates all 10,240 elements and appends repeatedly (geometric reallocs)
+4. Linked list structure has poor cache locality and pointer overhead
+
+## Design Requirements
+
+### New CircularBuffer Type
+
+Create a simple circular byte buffer with:
+- Single pre-allocated `[]byte` of fixed capacity (10KB)
+- `head` and `size` integers to track write position and data length
+- No per-write allocations
+
+### API Requirements
+
+The new buffer must support:
+1. **Write(p []byte)** - Append bytes, overwriting oldest data when full
+2. **GetHistory() []byte** - Return all buffered data in correct order (oldest to newest)
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+```go
+type circularBuffer struct {
+    data []byte  // pre-allocated capacity
+    head int     // next write position
+    size int     // current number of bytes stored (0 to cap)
+}
+```
+
+**Write logic:**
+- If `len(p) >= capacity`: just keep the last `capacity` bytes
+- Otherwise: write bytes at `head`, wrapping around if needed
+- Update `head` and `size` accordingly
+- Data is copied into the internal buffer (not stored by reference)
+
+**GetHistory logic:**
+- Calculate start position: `(head - size + cap) % cap`
+- If not wrapped: single slice copy
+- If wrapped: two copies (end of buffer + beginning)
+- Returns a **new slice** (copy), not a view into internal buffer
+
+### Immutability Guarantees (must preserve)
+
+Per existing tests:
+1. Modifying input `[]byte` after `Write()` must not affect stored data
+2. `GetHistory()` returns independent copy - modifications don't affect buffer
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+- `proxy/logMonitor.go` - Replace `buffer *ring.Ring` with new circular buffer
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+Existing tests in `logMonitor_test.go` should continue to pass:
+- `TestLogMonitor` - Basic write/read and subscriber notification
+- `TestWrite_ImmutableBuffer` - Verify writes don't affect returned history
+- `TestWrite_LogTimeFormat` - Timestamp formatting
+
+Add new tests:
+- Test buffer wrap-around behavior
+- Test large writes that exceed buffer capacity
+- Test exact capacity boundary conditions
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [ ] Create `circularBuffer` struct in `logMonitor.go`
+- [ ] Implement `Write()` method for circular buffer
+- [ ] Implement `GetHistory()` method for circular buffer
+- [ ] Update `LogMonitor` struct to use new buffer
+- [ ] Update `NewLogMonitorWriter()` to initialize new buffer
+- [ ] Update `LogMonitor.Write()` to use new buffer
+- [ ] Update `LogMonitor.GetHistory()` to use new buffer
+- [ ] Remove `"container/ring"` import
+- [ ] Run `make test-dev` to verify existing tests pass
+- [ ] Add wrap-around test case
+- [ ] Run `make test-all` for final validation

+# Improve Testability (#655)
+
+## Current Pain Points
+
+1. **Tests bypass config loading** - ~80% of tests build `config.Config` structs directly, skipping YAML parsing, env var substitution, macro expansion, and `${PORT}` assignment. Config bugs in those paths go untested.
+
+2. **simple-responder is everywhere** - Every proxy/routing test launches a real subprocess, waits for health checks (~healthCheckTimeout: 15), and manages process lifecycle just to test HTTP routing. Most of that overhead is wasted.
+
+3. **Port counter is fragile** - A global `nextTestPort` counter starting at 12000 with a mutex. Parallel tests or leftover processes can collide.
+
+## Stages
+
+### Stage 1: YAML-based test config helper
+
+**Goal:** Tests go through the real `LoadConfigFromReader` path instead of hand-building structs.
+
+**Effort:** Low | **Impact:** Config bugs caught earlier | **Risk:** None
+
+Create a test helper in `proxy/helpers_test.go`:
+
+```go
+// testConfigFromYAML substitutes simple-responder paths and loads through
+// the real config pipeline (env vars, macros, port assignment, etc.)
+func testConfigFromYAML(t *testing.T, yamlTmpl string) config.Config {
+    t.Helper()
+    yamlStr := strings.ReplaceAll(yamlTmpl, "{{RESPONDER}}", filepath.ToSlash(simpleResponderPath))
+    cfg, err := config.LoadConfigFromReader(strings.NewReader(yamlStr))
+    require.NoError(t, err)
+    return cfg
+}
+```
+
+Tests would then look like:
+
+```go
+func TestProxyManager_SwapProcessCorrectly(t *testing.T) {
+    config := testConfigFromYAML(t, `
+healthCheckTimeout: 15
+logLevel: error
+models:
+  model1:
+    cmd: {{RESPONDER}} --port ${PORT} -silent -respond model1
+  model2:
+    cmd: {{RESPONDER}} --port ${PORT} -silent -respond model2
+`)
+    proxy := New(config)
+    // ... same assertions
+}
+```
+
+**Why this stage first:** Zero production code changes. Pure test-side refactoring. Can be done incrementally - migrate tests one at a time. Each migrated test now validates the full config pipeline.
+
+**Scope:** ~20-30 tests in `proxymanager_test.go`, `processgroup_test.go`, `peerproxy_test.go`.
+
+### Stage 2: Injected test handler (eliminate simple-responder for routing tests)
+
+**Goal:** Replace simple-responder subprocess launches with an injected `http.Handler` for tests that don't specifically test process lifecycle.
+
+**Effort:** Medium | **Impact:** 10-100x faster routing tests | **Risk:** Low (additive, no existing code broken)
+
+Add a `testHandler http.Handler` field to `Process`. When set, `ProxyRequest` delegates directly to this handler instead of going through the reverse proxy. No subprocess, no health checks, no TCP roundtrip.
+
+**2a. Add testHandler to Process:**
+
+```go
+// In Process struct (process.go):
+testHandler http.Handler  // set only in tests; bypasses subprocess and reverse proxy
+```
+
+In `Process.Start()`, skip subprocess + health check when handler is set:
+
+```go
+func (p *Process) start() error {
+    if p.testHandler != nil {
+        p.setState(StateReady)
+        return nil
+    }
+    // existing subprocess logic...
+}
+```
+
+In `Process.ProxyRequest()`, delegate directly to the handler:
+
+```go
+// Before the reverseProxy.ServeHTTP call:
+if p.testHandler != nil {
+    p.testHandler.ServeHTTP(w, r)
+    return
+}
+```
+
+**2b. Test helper to create the handler:**
+
+```go
+// newTestHandler returns an http.Handler that mimics llama.cpp's API
+// (same endpoints as simple-responder).
+func newTestHandler(respond string) http.Handler {
+    mux := http.NewServeMux()
+    mux.HandleFunc("/v1/chat/completions", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { ... })
+    mux.HandleFunc("/health", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { ... })
+    // ... other endpoints
+    return mux
+}
+```
+
+Tests for routing/auth/CORS/streaming then become:
+
+```go
+func TestProxyManager_AuthRequired(t *testing.T) {
+    handler := newTestHandler("model1")
+
+    config := testConfigFromYAML(t, `
+healthCheckTimeout: 15
+logLevel: error
+requiredAPIKeys: [test-key]
+models:
+  model1:
+    cmd: {{RESPONDER}} --port ${PORT} -silent -respond model1
+`)
+    pm := NewProxyManager(config)
+    // inject handler — skips subprocess, health check, port allocation
+    pm.processGroups["model1"].process.testHandler = handler
+}
+```
+
+**Why this matters:** The handler is called directly in-process. No subprocess spawn, no health check timeout, no port allocation, no TCP roundtrip, no reverse proxy overhead. Routing tests go from ~100ms each (process startup + health check) to ~1ms. Unlike an `httptest.Server` approach, there are zero network hops.
+
+**Why not blank-cmd + proxy URL:** A blank `cmd` with a `proxy` field pointing at `httptest.Server` still requires a real TCP roundtrip through the reverse proxy and introduces "external process" semantics to the config schema. Injecting the handler directly keeps it purely a test concern with no config changes.
+
+**Scope:** Most tests in `proxymanager_test.go` (auth, CORS, model listing, streaming, peer proxy), `peerproxy_test.go`, `metrics_monitor_test.go`.
+
+### Stage 3: Migrate tests incrementally
+
+**Goal:** Convert existing tests to use the Stage 1 + Stage 2 helpers.
+
+**Effort:** Medium | **Impact:** Cleaner, more reliable tests | **Risk:** None
+
+Priority order:
+1. `proxymanager_test.go` routing tests (highest count, most repetition)
+2. `peerproxy_test.go` (straightforward, all HTTP routing)
+3. `metrics_monitor_test.go` (capture logic doesn't need real processes)
+4. `processgroup_test.go` swap tests (keep simple-responder for actual swap lifecycle tests)
+
+Tests that **must keep simple-responder:**
+- Process lifecycle: start/stop, SIGKILL, SIGTERM, TTL expiry, health check failures, failed start counting
+- ProcessGroup swap concurrency (the port-collision test in `TestProcessGroup_ProxyRequestSwapIsTrueParallel`)
+
+**Scope:** ~60-70% of tests can drop simple-responder.
+
+### Stage 4 (optional): Process interface for ProcessGroup
+
+**Goal:** Enable pure unit tests of ProcessGroup's swap/exclusive/concurrency logic without any HTTP server at all.
+
+**Effort:** High | **Impact:** Pure unit tests possible | **Risk:** Medium (refactor core code)
+
+```go
+type ProcessController interface {
+    Start() error
+    Stop(StopStrategy)
+    ProxyRequest(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) error
+    CurrentState() ProcessState
+    ID() string
+    SetState(ProcessState)  // for test setup
+}
+```
+
+This requires:
+- Extracting the interface
+- A `MockProcess` implementation
+- Refactoring `ProcessGroup` to use the interface instead of `*Process`
+
+**Recommendation:** Only do this if ProcessGroup grows significantly more complex. Stages 1-3 give 80% of the benefit for 20% of the effort.
+
+## Effort/Impact Summary
+
+| Stage | Effort | Impact | Risk |
+|-------|--------|--------|------|
+| 1. YAML config helper | Low | Config bugs caught earlier | None |
+| 2. Injected test handler | Medium | 10-100x faster routing tests | Low |
+| 3. Migrate tests | Medium | Cleaner, more reliable tests | None |
+| 4. Process interface | High | Pure unit tests possible | Medium |
+
+**Recommended approach:** Do stages 1-3 in order. Each stage is independently valuable and can ship on its own. Stage 4 is deferred unless there's a specific need.

+# Add Model Metadata Support with Typed Macros
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement support for arbitrary metadata on model configurations that can be exposed through the `/v1/models` API endpoint. This feature extends the existing macro system to support scalar types (string, int, float, bool) instead of only strings, enabling type-safe metadata values.
+
+The metadata will be schemaless, allowing users to define any key-value pairs they need. Macro substitution will work within metadata values, preserving types when macros are used directly and converting to strings when macros are interpolated within strings.
+
+## Design Requirements
+
+### 1. Enhanced Macro System
+
+**Current State:**
+
+- Macros are defined as `map[string]string` at both global and model levels
+- Only string substitution is supported
+- Macros are replaced in: `cmd`, `cmdStop`, `proxy`, `checkEndpoint`, `filters.stripParams`
+
+**Required Changes:**
+
+- Change `MacroList` type from `map[string]string` to `map[string]any`
+- Support scalar types: `string`, `int`, `float64`, `bool`
+- Implement type-preserving macro substitution:
+  - Direct macro usage (`key: ${macro}`) preserves the macro's type
+  - Interpolated usage (`key: "text ${macro}"`) converts to string
+- Add validation to ensure macro values are scalar types only
+- Update existing macro substitution logic in [proxy/config/config.go](proxy/config/config.go) to handle `any` types
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+
+- Create a generic helper function to perform macro substitution that:
+  - Takes a value of type `any`
+  - Recursively processes maps, slices, and scalar values
+  - Replaces `${macro_name}` patterns with macro values
+  - Preserves types for direct substitution
+  - Converts to strings for interpolated substitution
+- Update `validateMacro()` function to accept `any` type and validate scalar types
+- Maintain backward compatibility with existing string-only macros
+
+### 2. Metadata Field in ModelConfig
+
+**Location:** [proxy/config/model_config.go](proxy/config/model_config.go)
+
+**Required Changes:**
+
+- Add `Metadata map[string]any` field to `ModelConfig` struct
+- Support YAML unmarshaling of arbitrary structures (maps, arrays, scalars)
+- Apply macro substitution to metadata values during config loading
+
+**Schema Requirements:**
+
+- Metadata is optional (default: empty/nil map)
+- Supports nested structures (objects within objects, arrays, etc.)
+- All string values within metadata undergo macro substitution
+- Type preservation rules apply as described above
+
+### 3. Macro Substitution in Metadata
+
+**Location:** [proxy/config/config.go](proxy/config/config.go) in `LoadConfigFromReader()`
+
+**Process Flow:**
+
+1. After loading YAML configuration
+2. After model-level and global macro merging
+3. Apply macro substitution to `ModelConfig.Metadata` field
+4. Use the same merged macros available to `cmd`, `proxy`, etc.
+5. Process recursively through all nested structures
+
+**Substitution Rules:**
+
+- `port: ${PORT}` → keeps integer type from PORT macro
+- `temperature: ${temp}` → keeps float type from temp macro
+- `note: "Running on ${PORT}"` → converts to string `"Running on 10001"`
+- Arrays and nested objects are processed recursively
+- Unknown macros should cause configuration load error (consistent with existing behavior)
+
+### 4. API Response Updates
+
+**Location:** [proxy/proxymanager.go:350](proxy/proxymanager.go#L350) `listModelsHandler()`
+
+**Current Behavior:**
+
+- Returns model records with: `id`, `object`, `created`, `owned_by`
+- Optionally includes: `name`, `description`
+
+**Required Changes:**
+
+- Add metadata to each model record under the key `llamaswap_meta`
+- Only include `llamaswap_meta` if metadata is non-empty
+- Preserve all types when marshaling to JSON

+
+### 5. Validation and Error Handling
+
+**Macro Validation:**
+
+- Extend `validateMacro()` to accept values of type `any`
+- Verify macro values are scalar types: `string`, `int`, `float64`, `bool`
+- Reject complex types (maps, slices, structs) as macro values
+- Maintain existing validation for macro names and lengths
+
+**Configuration Loading:**
+
+- Fail fast if unknown macros are found in metadata
+- Provide clear error messages indicating which model and field contains errors
+- Ensure macros in metadata follow same rules as macros in cmd/proxy fields
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+### Test 1: Model-Level Macros with Different Types
+
+**File:** [proxy/config/model_config_test.go](proxy/config/model_config_test.go)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+- Define model with macros of each scalar type
+- Verify metadata correctly substitutes and preserves types
+- Test direct substitution (`port: ${PORT}`)
+- Test string interpolation (`note: "Port is ${PORT}"`)
+- Verify nested objects and arrays work correctly
+
+### Test 2: Global and Model Macro Precedence
+
+**File:** [proxy/config/config_test.go](proxy/config/config_test.go)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+- Define same macro at global and model level with different types
+- Verify model-level macro takes precedence
+- Test metadata uses correct macro value
+- Verify type is preserved from the winning macro
+
+### Test 3: Macro Validation
+
+**File:** [proxy/config/config_test.go](proxy/config/config_test.go)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+- Test that complex types (maps, arrays) are rejected as macro values
+  - Verify error message includes: macro name and type that was rejected
+- Test that scalar types (string, int, float, bool) are accepted
+  - Each type should load without error
+- Test macro name validation still works with `any` types
+  - Invalid characters, reserved names, length limits should still be enforced
+
+### Test 4: Metadata in API Response
+
+**File:** [proxy/proxymanager_test.go](proxy/proxymanager_test.go)
+
+**Existing Test:** `TestProxyManager_ListModelsHandler`
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+- Model with metadata → verify `llamaswap_meta` key appears
+- Model without metadata → verify `llamaswap_meta` key is absent
+- Verify all types are correctly marshaled to JSON
+- Verify nested structures are preserved
+- Verify macro substitution has occurred before serialization
+
+### Test 5: Unknown Macros in Metadata
+
+**File:** [proxy/config/config_test.go](proxy/config/config_test.go)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+- Use undefined macro in metadata
+- Verify configuration loading fails with clear error
+- Error should indicate model name and that macro is undefined
+
+### Test 6: Recursive Substitution
+
+**File:** [proxy/config/config_test.go](proxy/config/config_test.go)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+- Metadata with deeply nested structures
+- Arrays containing objects with macros
+- Objects containing arrays with macros
+- Mixed string interpolation and direct substitution at various nesting levels

+
+### Inconsistencies
+
+None identified. The plan references the correct existing example in [config.example.yaml:149-171](config.example.yaml#L149-L171).
+
+### Design Decisions
+
+1. **Why `llamaswap_meta` instead of merging into record?**
+
+   - Avoids potential collisions with OpenAI API standard fields
+   - Makes it clear this is llama-swap specific metadata
+   - Easier for clients to distinguish standard vs. custom fields
+
+2. **Why support nested structures?**
+
+   - Provides maximum flexibility for users
+   - Aligns with the schemaless design principle
+   - Example config already demonstrates this capability
+
+3. **Why validate macro types?**
+   - Prevents confusing behavior (e.g., substituting a map)
+   - Makes configuration errors explicit at load time
+   - Simpler implementation and testing

+# Improve macro-in-macro support
+
+**Status: COMPLETED ✅**
+
+## Title
+
+Fix macro substitution ordering by preserving definition order using ordered YAML parsing
+
+## Overview
+
+The current macro implementation uses `map[string]any` which does not preserve insertion order. This causes issues when macros reference other macros - if macro `B` contains `${A}` but `B` is processed before `A`, the reference won't be substituted, leading to "unknown macro" errors.
+
+**Goal:** Ensure macros are substituted in definition order (LIFO - last in, first out) to allow macros to reliably reference previously-defined macros.
+
+**Outcomes:**
+- Macros can reference other macros defined earlier in the config
+- Macro substitution is deterministic and order-dependent
+- Single-pass substitution prevents circular dependencies
+- Use `yaml.Node` from `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` to preserve macro definition order
+- All existing tests pass
+- New tests validate substitution order and self-reference detection
+
+## Design Requirements
+
+### 1. YAML Parsing Strategy
+- **Continue using:** `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` (current library)
+- **Use:** `yaml.Node` for ordered parsing of macros
+- **Reason:** `yaml.Node` preserves document structure and order, avoiding need for migration
+
+### 2. Data Structure Changes
+
+#### Current Implementation (config.go:19)
+```go
+type MacroList map[string]any
+```
+
+#### New Implementation
+```go
+type MacroList []MacroEntry
+
+type MacroEntry struct {
+    Name  string
+    Value any
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation Note:** Parse macros using `yaml.Node` to extract key-value pairs in document order, then construct the ordered `MacroList`.
+
+### 3. Macro Substitution Order Rules
+
+The substitution must follow this hierarchy (from most specific to least):
+
+1. **Reserved macros** (last): `PORT`, `MODEL_ID` - substituted last, highest priority
+2. **Model-level macros** (middle): Defined in specific model config, overrides global
+3. **Global macros** (first): Defined at config root level
+
+Within each level, macros are substituted in **reverse definition order** (LIFO):
+- The last macro defined is substituted first
+- This allows later macros to reference earlier ones
+- Single-pass substitution prevents circular dependencies
+
+### 4. Macro Reference Rules
+
+**Allowed:**
+- Macro can reference any macro defined **before** it (earlier in the file)
+- Model macros can reference global macros
+- Macros can reference reserved macros (`${PORT}`, `${MODEL_ID}`)
+
+**Prohibited:**
+- Macro cannot reference itself (e.g., `foo: "value ${foo}"`)
+- Macro cannot reference macros defined **after** it
+- No circular references (prevented by single-pass, ordered substitution)
+
+### 5. Validation Requirements
+
+Add validation to detect:
+- **Self-references:** Macro value contains reference to its own name
+- **Unknown macros:** After substitution, any remaining `${...}` references
+
+Error messages should be clear:
+```
+macro 'foo' contains self-reference
+unknown macro '${bar}' in model.cmd
+```
+
+### 6. Implementation Changes

+
+3. **All test files**
+   - Update test fixtures to use ordered macro definitions
+   - Ensure tests specify macro order explicitly
+
+#### Core Algorithm
+
+Replace the macro substitution logic in [config.go:181-252](proxy/config/config.go#L181-L252) with:
+
+```go
+// Merge global config and model macros. Model macros take precedence
+mergedMacros := make(MacroList, 0, len(config.Macros)+len(modelConfig.Macros)+2)
+
+// Add global macros first
+for _, entry := range config.Macros {
+	mergedMacros = append(mergedMacros, entry)
+}
+
+// Add model macros (can override global)
+for _, entry := range modelConfig.Macros {
+	// Remove any existing global macro with same name
+	found := false
+	for i, existing := range mergedMacros {
+		if existing.Name == entry.Name {
+			mergedMacros[i] = entry // Override
+			found = true
+			break
+		}
+	}
+	if !found {
+		mergedMacros = append(mergedMacros, entry)
+	}
+}
+
+// Add reserved MODEL_ID macro at the end
+mergedMacros = append(mergedMacros, MacroEntry{Name: "MODEL_ID", Value: modelId})
+
+// Check if PORT macro is needed
+if strings.Contains(modelConfig.Cmd, "${PORT}") || strings.Contains(modelConfig.Proxy, "${PORT}") || strings.Contains(modelConfig.CmdStop, "${PORT}") {
+	// enforce ${PORT} used in both cmd and proxy
+	if !strings.Contains(modelConfig.Cmd, "${PORT}") && strings.Contains(modelConfig.Proxy, "${PORT}") {
+		return Config{}, fmt.Errorf("model %s: proxy uses ${PORT} but cmd does not - ${PORT} is only available when used in cmd", modelId)
+	}
+
+	// Add PORT macro to the end (highest priority)
+	mergedMacros = append(mergedMacros, MacroEntry{Name: "PORT", Value: nextPort})
+	nextPort++
+}
+
+// Single-pass substitution: Substitute all macros in LIFO order (last defined first)
+// This allows later macros to reference earlier ones
+for i := len(mergedMacros) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
+	entry := mergedMacros[i]
+	macroSlug := fmt.Sprintf("${%s}", entry.Name)
+	macroStr := fmt.Sprintf("%v", entry.Value)
+
+	// Substitute in command fields
+	modelConfig.Cmd = strings.ReplaceAll(modelConfig.Cmd, macroSlug, macroStr)
+	modelConfig.CmdStop = strings.ReplaceAll(modelConfig.CmdStop, macroSlug, macroStr)
+	modelConfig.Proxy = strings.ReplaceAll(modelConfig.Proxy, macroSlug, macroStr)
+	modelConfig.CheckEndpoint = strings.ReplaceAll(modelConfig.CheckEndpoint, macroSlug, macroStr)
+	modelConfig.Filters.StripParams = strings.ReplaceAll(modelConfig.Filters.StripParams, macroSlug, macroStr)
+
+	// Substitute in metadata (recursive)
+	if len(modelConfig.Metadata) > 0 {
+		var err error
+		modelConfig.Metadata, err = substituteMacroInValue(modelConfig.Metadata, entry.Name, entry.Value)
+		if err != nil {
+			return Config{}, fmt.Errorf("model %s metadata: %s", modelId, err.Error())
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Add this new helper function to replace `substituteMetadataMacros`:
+
+```go
+// substituteMacroInValue recursively substitutes a single macro in a value structure
+// This is called once per macro, allowing LIFO substitution order
+func substituteMacroInValue(value any, macroName string, macroValue any) (any, error) {
+	macroSlug := fmt.Sprintf("${%s}", macroName)
+	macroStr := fmt.Sprintf("%v", macroValue)
+
+	switch v := value.(type) {
+	case string:
+		// Check if this is a direct macro substitution
+		if v == macroSlug {
+			return macroValue, nil
+		}
+		// Handle string interpolation
+		if strings.Contains(v, macroSlug) {
+			return strings.ReplaceAll(v, macroSlug, macroStr), nil
+		}
+		return v, nil
+
+	case map[string]any:
+		// Recursively process map values
+		newMap := make(map[string]any)
+		for key, val := range v {
+			newVal, err := substituteMacroInValue(val, macroName, macroValue)
+			if err != nil {
+				return nil, err
+			}
+			newMap[key] = newVal
+		}
+		return newMap, nil
+
+	case []any:
+		// Recursively process slice elements
+		newSlice := make([]any, len(v))
+		for i, val := range v {
+			newVal, err := substituteMacroInValue(val, macroName, macroValue)
+			if err != nil {
+				return nil, err
+			}
+			newSlice[i] = newVal
+		}
+		return newSlice, nil
+
+	default:
+		// Return scalar types as-is
+		return value, nil
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Self-Reference Detection
+
+Add to `validateMacro` function:
+
+```go
+func validateMacro(name string, value any) error {
+    // ... existing validation ...
+
+    // Check for self-reference
+    if str, ok := value.(string); ok {
+        macroSlug := fmt.Sprintf("${%s}", name)
+        if strings.Contains(str, macroSlug) {
+            return fmt.Errorf("macro '%s' contains self-reference", name)
+        }
+    }
+
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+### 1. Migration Tests
+- **Test:** All existing macro tests still pass after YAML library migration
+- **Files:** All `*_test.go` files with macro tests
+
+### 2. Macro Order Tests
+
+#### Test: Macro-in-macro substitution order
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "A": "value-A"
+  "B": "prefix-${A}-suffix"
+
+models:
+  test:
+    cmd: "echo ${B}"
+```
+**Expected:** `cmd` becomes `"echo prefix-value-A-suffix"`
+
+#### Test: LIFO substitution order
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "base": "/models"
+  "path": "${base}/llama"
+  "full": "${path}/model.gguf"
+
+models:
+  test:
+    cmd: "load ${full}"
+```
+**Expected:** `cmd` becomes `"load /models/llama/model.gguf"`
+
+#### Test: Model macro overrides global
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "tag": "global"
+  "msg": "value-${tag}"
+
+models:
+  test:
+    macros:
+      "tag": "model-level"
+    cmd: "echo ${msg}"
+```
+**Expected:** `cmd` becomes `"echo value-model-level"` (model macro overrides global)
+
+### 3. Reserved Macro Tests
+
+#### Test: MODEL_ID substituted in macro
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "podman-llama": "podman run --name ${MODEL_ID} ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-cuda"
+
+models:
+  my-model:
+    cmd: "${podman-llama} -m model.gguf"
+```
+**Expected:** `cmd` becomes `"podman run --name my-model ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-cuda -m model.gguf"`
+
+### 4. Error Detection Tests
+
+#### Test: Self-reference detection
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "recursive": "value-${recursive}"
+```
+**Expected:** Error: `macro 'recursive' contains self-reference`
+
+#### Test: Undefined macro reference
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "A": "value-${UNDEFINED}"
+```
+**Expected:** Error: `unknown macro '${UNDEFINED}' found in macros.A` (or similar)
+

+## Bug Example (Original Issue)
+
+```yaml
+macros:
+  "podman-llama": >
+    podman run --name ${MODEL_ID}
+    --init --rm -p ${PORT}:8080 -v /home/alex/ai/models:/models:z --gpus=all
+    ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-cuda
+
+  "standard-options": >
+    --no-mmap --jinja
+
+  "kv8": >
+    -fa on -ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0
+```
+
+**Current Bug:**
+- During macro substitution, if `${MODEL_ID}` is processed before `${podman-llama}`, the `${MODEL_ID}` reference inside `podman-llama` remains unsubstituted
+- Results in error: `unknown macro '${MODEL_ID}' found in model.cmd`
+
+**After Fix:**
+- Macros substituted in LIFO order: `kv8` → `standard-options` → `podman-llama`
+- `MODEL_ID` is a reserved macro, substituted last (after all user macros)
+- `${MODEL_ID}` inside `podman-llama` is correctly replaced with the model name

+# wol-proxy
+
+wol-proxy automatically wakes up a suspended llama-swap server using Wake-on-LAN when requests are received.
+
+When a request arrives and llama-swap is unavailable, wol-proxy sends a WOL packet and holds the request until the server becomes available. If the server doesn't respond within the timeout period (default: 60 seconds), the request is dropped.
+
+This utility helps conserve energy by allowing GPU-heavy servers to remain suspended when idle, as they can consume hundreds of watts even when not actively processing requests.
+
+## Usage
+
+```shell
+# minimal
+$ ./wol-proxy -mac BA:DC:0F:FE:E0:00 -upstream http://192.168.1.13:8080
+
+# everything
+$ ./wol-proxy -mac BA:DC:0F:FE:E0:00 -upstream http://192.168.1.13:8080 \
+    # use debug log level
+    -log debug \
+    # altenerative listening port
+    -listen localhost:9999 \
+    # seconds to hold requests waiting for upstream to be ready
+    -timeout 30
+```
+
+## API
+
+`GET /status` - that's it. Everything else is proxied to the upstream server.

+# Note:
+# A config must use either a matrix or legacy groups, not both. A configuration error
+# will occur if both are defined. Configuration examples for legacy Groups can be found:
+# https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/blob/40e39f7/config.example.yaml#L334-L396
+#
+# The matrix declares valid combinations of models that can run concurrently.
+# When a model is requested, the solver finds the cheapest way to make it
+# available by evicting as few (and least costly) running models as possible.
+#
+# Solver behavior:
+#   1. Request arrives for model X
+#   2. If X is already running, forward immediately. Done.
+#   3. Find all sets containing X
+#   4. For each candidate set, compute cost: sum of evict_costs for

+# config.yaml
+
+llama-swap is designed to be very simple: one binary, one configuration file.
+
+## minimal viable config
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  model1:
+    cmd: llama-server --port ${PORT} --model /path/to/model.gguf
+```
+
+This is enough to launch `llama-server` to serve `model1`. Of course, llama-swap is about making it possible to serve many models:
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  model1:
+    cmd: llama-server --port ${PORT} -m /path/to/model.gguf
+  model2:
+    cmd: llama-server --port ${PORT} -m /path/to/another_model.gguf
+  model3:
+    cmd: llama-server --port ${PORT} -m /path/to/third_model.gguf
+```
+
+With this configuration models will be hot swapped and loaded on demand. The special `${PORT}` macro provides a unique port per model which is useful if you want to run multiple models at the same time with the `matrix` feature.
+
+## Advanced control with `cmd`
+
+llama-swap is also about customizability. You can use any CLI flag available:
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  model1:
+    cmd: | # support for multi-line
+      llama-server --PORT ${PORT} -m /path/to/model.gguf
+      --ctx-size 8192
+      --jinja
+      --cache-type-k q8_0
+      --cache-type-v q8_0
+```
+
+## Support for any OpenAI API compatible server
+
+llama-swap supports any OpenAI API compatible server. If you can run it on the CLI llama-swap will be able to manage it. Even if it's run in Docker or Podman containers.
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  "Q3-30B-CODER-VLLM":
+    name: "Qwen3 30B Coder vllm AWQ (Q3-30B-CODER-VLLM)"
+    # cmdStop provides a reliable way to stop containers
+    cmdStop: docker stop vllm-coder
+    cmd: |
+      docker run --init --rm --name vllm-coder
+        --runtime=nvidia --gpus '"device=2,3"'
+        --shm-size=16g
+        -v /mnt/nvme/vllm-cache:/root/.cache
+        -v /mnt/ssd-extra/models:/models -p ${PORT}:8000
+        vllm/vllm-openai:v0.10.0
+        --model "/models/cpatonn/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-AWQ"
+        --served-model-name "Q3-30B-CODER-VLLM"
+        --enable-expert-parallel
+        --swap-space 16
+        --max-num-seqs 512
+        --max-model-len 65536
+        --max-seq-len-to-capture 65536
+        --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9
+        --tensor-parallel-size 2
+        --trust-remote-code
+```
+
+## Many more features..
+
+llama-swap supports many more features to customize how you want to manage your environment.
+
+| Feature   | Description                                    |
+| --------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `ttl`     | automatic unloading of models after a timeout  |
+| `macros`  | reusable snippets to use in configurations     |
+| `matrix`  | run multiple models at a time                  |
+| `hooks`   | event driven functionality                     |
+| `env`     | define environment variables per model         |
+| `aliases` | serve a model with different names             |
+| `filters` | modify requests before sending to the upstream |
+| `...`     | And many more tweaks                           |

+## Container Security
+
+For convenience, the default container images use the **root** user within the container. This permits simplified access to host resources including volume mounts and hardware devices under `/dev/dri` (_for Vulkan support_). But this can widen the attack surface to privilege escalation exploits.
+
+Alternative images, tagged as `non-root`, are also available. For example, `llama-swap:cpu-non-root` uses the unprivileged **app** user by default. Depending on deployment requirements, additional configuration may be necessary to ensure that the container retains access to required hosts resources. This might entail customizing host filesystem permissions/ownership appropriately or injecting host group membership into the container.
+
+Docker offers a [system-wide option enabling user namespace remapping](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/userns-remap/) to accommodate situations were a **root** container user is required but also mentions that _"The best way to prevent privilege-escalation attacks from within a container is to configure your container's applications to run as unprivileged users."_ Podman offers similar capability, per-container, to [set UID/GID mapping in a new user namespace](https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-run.1.html#set-uid-gid-mapping-in-a-new-user-namespace).
+
+The Large Language Model (_LLM/AI_) ecosystem is rapidly evolving and [serious security vulnerabilities have surfaced in the past](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-pickle). These alternative _non-root_ images could reduce the impact of future unknown problems. However, proper planning and configuration is recommended to utilize them.

+# aider, QwQ, Qwen-Coder 2.5 and llama-swap
+
+This guide show how to use aider and llama-swap to get a 100% local coding co-pilot setup. The focus is on the trickest part which is configuring aider, llama-swap and llama-server to work together.
+
+## Here's what you you need:
+
+- aider - [installation docs](https://aider.chat/docs/install.html)
+- llama-server - [download latest release](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases)
+- llama-swap - [download latest release](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/releases)
+- [QwQ 32B](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Qwen_QwQ-32B-GGUF) and [Qwen Coder 2.5 32B](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-GGUF) models
+- 24GB VRAM video card
+
+## Running aider
+
+The goal is getting this command line to work:
+
+```sh
+aider --architect \
+    --no-show-model-warnings \
+    --model openai/QwQ \
+    --editor-model openai/qwen-coder-32B \
+    --model-settings-file aider.model.settings.yml \
+    --openai-api-key "sk-na" \
+    --openai-api-base "http://10.0.1.24:8080/v1" \
+```
+
+Set `--openai-api-base` to the IP and port where your llama-swap is running.
+
+## Create an aider model settings file
+
+```yaml
+# aider.model.settings.yml
+
+#
+# !!! important: model names must match llama-swap configuration names !!!
+#

+      -ngl 99
+      --model /mnt/nvme/models/bartowski/Qwen_QwQ-32B-Q4_K_M.gguf
+```
+
+## Advanced, Dual GPU Configuration
+
+If you have _dual 24GB GPUs_ you can use llama-swap profiles to avoid swapping between QwQ and Qwen Coder.
+
+In llama-swap's configuration file:
+
+1. add a `profiles` section with `aider` as the profile name
+2. using the `env` field to specify the GPU IDs for each model
+
+```yaml
+# config.yaml
+
+# Add a profile for aider
+profiles:
+  aider:
+    - qwen-coder-32B
+    - QwQ
+
+models:
+  "qwen-coder-32B":
+    # manually set the GPU to run on
+    env:
+      - "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0"
+    proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:8999"
+    cmd: /path/to/llama-server ...
+
+  "QwQ":
+    # manually set the GPU to run on
+    env:
+      - "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1"
+    proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:9503"
+    cmd: /path/to/llama-server ...
+```
+
+Append the profile tag, `aider:`, to the model names in the model settings file
+
+```yaml
+# aider.model.settings.yml
+- name: "openai/aider:QwQ"
+  weak_model_name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B-aider"
+  editor_model_name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B-aider"
+
+- name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B"
+  editor_model_name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B-aider"
+```
+
+Run aider with:
+
+```sh
+$ aider --architect \
+    --no-show-model-warnings \
+    --model openai/aider:QwQ \
+    --editor-model openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B \
+    --config aider.conf.yml \
+    --model-settings-file aider.model.settings.yml
+    --openai-api-key "sk-na" \
+    --openai-api-base "http://10.0.1.24:8080/v1"
+```

+The code in `event` was originally a part of https://github.com/kelindar/event (v1.5.2)
+
+The original code uses a `time.Ticker` to process the event queue which caused a large increase in CPU usage ([#189](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/issues/189)). This code was ported to remove the ticker and instead be more event driven.
