- Bind 127.0.0.1 by default instead of 0.0.0.0; doctor warns when a non-loopback bind has no api_key set - Make CORS opt-in via server.cors_origins (unset = no CORS headers, ["*"] = permissive, otherwise an explicit origin allow-list) instead of unconditionally permissive; doctor validates entries - Write config and PID files with 0o600 permissions; doctor warns when an existing config containing API keys is group/world-accessible - Truncate upstream error bodies before embedding them in proxy errors and metrics, so upstream responses cannot leak echoed credentials - Fuel-limit chat template execution (templates load from third-party model directories) https://claude.ai/code/session_01Rko86UGb3GKp84joEs5E5c
Both streaming engines re-decoded the entire completion token buffer on every generated token and rescanned the full text for stop sequences, making streaming O(n^2) in completion length. Replace with a shared IncrementalDetok that decodes only a bounded trailing token window per step and emits the diff; stop sequences are scanned over the new tail plus the maximum stop-sequence overlap only. UTF-8 sequences split across tokens are held back until complete (and flushed at finish), which also stops replacement-char corruption in streamed chunks. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Rko86UGb3GKp84joEs5E5c

✅ Action performedReview finished.

Previously the first generated token was decoded with a raw tokenizer call, bypassing IncrementalDetok. This caused two bugs: 1. Partial UTF-8 sequences in the first token were never held back (they would appear as replacement characters instead of waiting for the next token to complete the codepoint). 2. When a stop sequence appeared mid-first-token, the prefix text before the stop was dropped entirely (batch_engine sent "" instead of the valid prefix). Site A (simple.rs generate_streaming_inner): initialize detok with empty state, run the first token through detok.append(), mirror the main loop's find_stop_in_tail stop check, and flush on EOS/max finish. Site B (batch_engine.rs prefill_request): same empty-init + append approach; fix the dropped-prefix bug by extracting the pre-stop slice from detok.text instead of sending ""; flush on non-stop finish. check_stop_sequences_simple (and its tests) removed — now unused. Also fix detach() PID file write in daemon.rs: replace fs::write with config::write_private_file so the PID file gets mode 0600 (private), consistent with write_pid_file() higher in the same file. New regression tests added to simple.rs: - incremental_detok_first_token_partial_utf8_held_back - incremental_detok_flush_emits_pending - find_stop_in_tail_first_token_prefix_and_stop https://claude.ai/code/session_01Rko86UGb3GKp84joEs5E5c
In `generate_streaming_inner` (simple.rs), the first-token block used `new_text` and `emitted_before` as binding names, which were then reused in the main decode loop — triggering `-D clippy::shadow_unrelated`. Rename the first-token block's bindings (lines ~2218-2234) to `first_new_text` and `first_emitted_before` throughout that section (`detok.append` result, `detok.text.len()` subtraction, both arms of the `find_stop_in_tail` map_or, and the range in `.get()`). The main loop's bindings at lines 2389-2390 are unchanged. No logic change; no other shadowing candidates found in commits 722218d or deefbe3 (batch_engine.rs `prefill_request` binds `first_chunk`/`emitted_before` once each; `materialize_decode_step` uses `new_text`/`emitted_before` in a separate function scope). https://claude.ai/code/session_01Rko86UGb3GKp84joEs5E5c
