* studio: load cached GGUF models when fully offline
When huggingface.co is unreachable, GGUF model loads fail in three distinct
places even though the bits are already in ~/.cache/huggingface/hub. Each
failure has a different surface symptom:
1. list_gguf_variants() raises straight through HTTPException(500), so the
variant dropdown shows 'Failed to list GGUF variants'.
2. detect_gguf_model_remote() silently returns None after retries fail. The
caller then treats a GGUF-only repo as non-GGUF and routes it through the
transformers/MLX path. On Apple Silicon this surfaces as 'Unsloth currently
only works on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs.'
3. _download_gguf() loses list_repo_files() to the network and falls back to a
filename heuristic ('{repo}-{variant}.gguf'). When the repo name does not
echo the filenames (e.g. repo 'Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF' contains a file
'Qwen3.6-27B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf' with no MTP), hf_hub_download cannot find
that invented filename in the cache and aborts.
Fix in three layers:
- list_gguf_variants / detect_gguf_model_remote: honor HF_HUB_OFFLINE and
fall back to scanning the local HF cache snapshot when the API throws.
detect_gguf_model_remote still keeps its retry loop for transient flakes;
the cache fallback only kicks in after every attempt fails.
- _download_gguf: when list_repo_files() fails, look up variant -> real
filename inside the cached snapshot before resorting to the heuristic.
- llama_cpp.load_model / inference worker startup: when DNS for
huggingface.co fails (2s probe), set HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 for the process so
every hf_hub_download call below resolves from cache instantly instead of
spending ~25s on five exponential retries.
Online behavior is unchanged: the API is tried first and only used to fail
over. The cache scan is a strict subset of what list_local_gguf_variants
already does today for local paths.

* studio: tighten inline comments on offline GGUF fallback
* studio: address review feedback on offline GGUF fallback
Fixes from the review pass on #5505:
* ruff F823 (lint CI red): the late `import os` at the bottom of
LlamaCppBackend.load_model made `os` a function-local name, so my
new `os.environ` reference at the top of the same method was a
use-before-bind. Surfaces at runtime as
'cannot access local variable os where it is not associated with a value'
and is why the Mac/Windows Studio API jobs were failing too. The
env-var mutation has been moved into a module-level contextmanager,
so load_model no longer touches `os` directly.
* Codex P1: cache variant match now uses the relative path, not the
basename. Layouts like `BF16/foo.gguf` (variant token only in
parent dir) were silently skipped, falling through to the bogus
`{repo}-{variant}.gguf` heuristic and failing offline loads of
models stored under quant-named subdirs.
* Codex P1: HF_HUB_OFFLINE no longer persists past one model load.
llama_cpp.load_model now uses a contextmanager that probes DNS,
sets HF_HUB_OFFLINE/TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE only when DNS is dead,
and pops them in finally (preserving any prior user setting of
TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE). Pre-existing user-set HF_HUB_OFFLINE is
respected as a no-op. worker.py keeps the startup probe because the
orchestrator spawns a fresh worker per load -- comment updated to
make that lifecycle explicit, and a warning is now logged.
* Gemini: cache-dir lookup centralized in `_iter_hf_cache_snapshots`.
Three near-identical copies (in list/detect helpers and the
llama_cpp offline scan) now go through one helper.
* Gemini: `huggingface_hub.utils.is_offline_mode` does not exist in
1.x (verified locally); `huggingface_hub.constants.HF_HUB_OFFLINE`
is snapshot-at-import-time and does not reflect runtime mutations.
Manual env-var parsing kept.
* socket probe now saves and restores the prior default timeout
instead of unconditionally setting None on exit, so it composes
with caller code that already configured a timeout.
* worker.py probe now logs a warning when offline mode is auto-enabled
so debugging the case isn't blind.
* studio: regression tests for offline GGUF cache fallback
Lock in the offline fallback path from #5505 so future refactors can't
silently regress either bug. 26 tests, 0.55 s, no network/GPU/subprocess.
Covers:
* _iter_hf_cache_snapshots: missing cache, missing repo, missing
snapshots/, newest-mtime ordering, case-insensitive repo match.
* _list_gguf_variants_from_hf_cache and the list_gguf_variants
online/offline-env/API-exception/reraise paths.
* _detect_gguf_from_hf_cache and detect_gguf_model_remote 3x-fail
fallback. Pre-existing RepositoryNotFoundError early-return preserved.
* Codex P1 #1 regression: BF16/foo.gguf (quant only in subdir name)
must resolve via _detect_gguf_from_hf_cache, which now matches the
snapshot-relative path rather than the basename.
* _probe_dns_dead: returns True/False, restores prior socket timeout.
* Codex P1 #2 regression: _hf_offline_if_dns_dead sets env only inside
the block, restores on exit (including on exception), re-probes DNS
on the next call so a transient hiccup cannot lock the long-lived
LlamaCppBackend singleton offline. Honors a user-set HF_HUB_OFFLINE
as a no-op. Preserves a user-set TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE across exit.
Follows the existing studio backend test stub pattern (loggers /
structlog / httpx stubs + backend dir on sys.path).

* studio: extend offline cache fallback to _download_mmproj and quant label
Two follow-up fixes from the review pass on #5505:
* _download_mmproj() now mirrors _download_gguf()'s offline path:
when list_repo_files() fails, scan the local HF cache snapshot for
any GGUF whose basename starts with mmproj-. Without this, offline
vision GGUF loads succeed at the main weight (the existing PR fix)
but the mmproj returns None and llama-server starts without vision
support. Same _iter_hf_cache_snapshots helper, F16 preference and
fallback to the first match are preserved.
* _extract_quant_label() now considers parent directory segments when
the basename has no quant token. Layouts like BF16/foo.gguf are
already documented in this file and are returned by the new
snapshot-relative-path filter in _download_gguf; before this fix
their variant label collapsed to "foo" (the last hyphen segment of
the basename). Regex is the same; the search just walks parent
segments innermost-first if the basename misses.
Tests (studio/backend/tests/test_offline_gguf_cache_fallback.py):
* TestExtractQuantLabelSubdir: basename quant unchanged, quant-only-
in-parent, UD- prefix in parent, deeper nesting picks the
innermost matching segment.
* TestDownloadMmprojOfflineCacheFallback: cache fallback returns the
mmproj when list_repo_files fails, F16 preference holds when both
variants are in cache, no-mmproj cache returns None.
* httpx stub now prefers the real package when installed (the CI
install list already includes it) and falls back to the stub only
when httpx is genuinely missing. Newer huggingface_hub imports
HTTPError/Response/Request at module load, so the previous
fixed-set stub broke when those names were added upstream.
26 existing cases plus 7 new = 33 pass in 0.74s.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Fix/adjust offline cache + DNS probe per PR #5505 review
Four review findings tightened, with regression tests:
- list_local_gguf_variants subdir collapse (P1 codex 10:08): pass the
snapshot-relative path to _extract_quant_label so BF16/foo.gguf and
Q4_K_M/foo.gguf produce distinct labels instead of folding to the same
basename pseudo-quant.
- list_gguf_variants cache fallback (P2 codex 12:10): surface
RepositoryNotFoundError / GatedRepoError / RevisionNotFoundError /
EntryNotFoundError to the caller instead of masking with stale cache,
matching detect_gguf_model_remote.
- _detect_gguf_from_hf_cache mmproj (P2 codex 12:10): exclude mmproj
files from the candidate list so a partial cache with only a vision
projector cannot route the projector as the main model.
- _probe_dns_dead global timeout (P2 codex 13:06): run the gethostbyname
on a daemon thread with join timeout so concurrent sockets in the same
interpreter never inherit a process-wide socket.setdefaulttimeout
mutation. Same shape applied in worker.py's startup probe.
* Make llama-server health check tolerant of warmup races
Two layered fixes for the Windows GGUF smoke CI Tool calling Tests
flake that exit-22'd on a single httpx.ReadError during llama-server
warmup. The 'windows-latest -> windows-2025-vs2026' image rollout is
hitting main with the identical symptom.
A. _wait_for_health: catch httpx.ReadError, RemoteProtocolError,
WriteError alongside ConnectError and TimeoutException. A TCP RST
mid-read while llama-server is still binding the port (WinError
10054) is a 'still warming up' signal, not fatal. The existing
_process.poll() check still wins for real crashes.
B. _drain_stdout + spawn: tee llama-server stdout/stderr to a
per-launch log file at ~/.unsloth/studio/logs/llama-server/
<port>.log. Any future subprocess crash leaves a forensic trace
on disk even when Studio's traceback only captures the symptom
(ReadError) and not the cause. Best-effort: a logging-side OSError
never blocks the load.
Regression coverage: TestWaitForHealthRetriesOnReadError pins the
retry behaviour for the three new exception types and verifies that a
real process exit still short-circuits the loop.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* ci(windows): retry inference/load + collect llama-server logs
Composite fix for the Tool calling Tests flake that exit-22'd on a
single httpx.ReadError during llama-server warm-up. The
windows-latest -> windows-2025-vs2026 runner image rollout has been
hitting main with the identical symptom.
- All three jobs (openai-anthropic, tool-calling, json-images) now
retry POST /api/inference/load up to 3 times with 10s backoff and
preserve the response body for post-mortem. One transient 500 no
longer fails the whole job.
- A new "Collect llama-server logs" step copies the per-launch
llama-server stdout teed by Studio under ~/.unsloth/studio/logs/
llama-server/ into the workspace, and the upload-artifact step
now includes logs/llama-server/*.log so any future subprocess
crash leaves a forensic trace.
