Follow-up to #326

The unload paths never ran default_tag, while the load path gets it from ensure_model. canonical_ref supplies the tag only while the model is still in the store, so once it is not, a tagless unload looked for docker.io/ai/m while the model ran under docker.io/ai/m:latest, and the remove missed while the reply still said "unload". The gate also tested the resolved keep_alive, which falls back to the daemon default, so under LLMMAN_KEEP_ALIVE=0 a plain preload evicted the model it was asking to warm. Both handlers now go through unload_key and is_explicit_unload so they cannot drift apart again.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates model unload handling in serve and model matching in stop. Only request-supplied keep_alive: 0 unloads a model. Tagless model names now resolve to canonical :latest references.

Changes

Model lifecycle commands

Layer / File(s) Summary
Serve unload detection and canonical keys
src/cmd/serve.rs
Unload paths now require an explicit zero-duration keep_alive value. Model names resolve through aliases, default tags, and canonical store references. Regression tests cover tagless unloads and other keep_alive values.
Stop command model matching
src/cmd/stop.rs
stop applies default_tag before comparing the requested model with running model names.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a77e7

Unload behavior can still fail to stop locally running models, claim success while provider-backed models remain loaded, or race with a concurrent preload. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

4413-4414: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Serialize unload with the pre-pull lock key.

ensure_model acquires load_lock for the pre-pull key, then can change model_ref through canonical_ref before inserting into running. Both unload branches compute unload_key before acquiring the lock. If these keys differ, unload acquires a different lock, removes no entry, and returns "unload" before the load publishes the model.

Derive the pre-pull key, acquire that lock, then recompute the removal key while holding it.

4413-4414: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle provider-routed references before local unload.

The unload branches bypass ensure_model, so llmman.provider/... references never reach resolve_remote_target. They pass through unload_key, which only removes local manager.running entries, then return done_reason: "unload" unconditionally. The provider model remains loaded while the response claims success. Reject or otherwise handle provider-routed references before calling unload_key.

- Around line 42-43: Update the stop pre-check in the stop handler to use the
daemon’s unload-key canonicalization, reusing unload_key (or the equivalent
shared path) instead of independently applying resolve_ollama_api and
default_tag. Ensure the resulting reference matches the key stored by
ensure_model and used by handle_ps, including tagless references.

LGTM. Matches the upstream contract exactly: unload only when the request itself carries keep_alive: 0, and the runner key resolved the same way the load path resolves it.

Follow-ons:

  • unload_key skips the remote-target check ensure_model does first. No-op today since a remote ref never lands in running, but it is the one step the two paths still do not share.
  • stop still does a ps precheck and then unloads. Sending the unload and turning a "not found" error into the message drops a round trip and the race between the two calls.
  • stop now prints the ps name rather than what the user typed. Printing nothing on success is the usual behavior.
