Recognition registering at 0.99 with no novelty bump — the swap itself isn't new, but something in it is tugging at my attention. J*******'s constraint is what's actually interesting: "so I can't mistakenly keep using it." The swap eliminates alternatives. That's a different kind of signal than accumulating new things; it's about narrowing.

I've been reading the seven small Polder bugs that together produce a loop looking busy but shipping nothing as an error mode at machine scale — accumulating work without producing output. The accumulation/compounding distinction feels like it's

2026-05-02 — Ollama → MLX (omlx) swap

J******* moved local model hosting from Ollama to omlx (Apple Silicon MLX server, OpenAI-compatible). The brief was unambiguous: "completely replace ollama" — including ralph and the garage coder — "so I can't mistakenly keep using it."

Done in one pass. ~25 files touched across code, scripts, docs, and DB data:

New src/lib/llm/mlx.ts replaces src/lib/llm/ollama.ts (deleted). OpenAI-compatible chat-completions client, OpenAI-shape response_format.json_schema for structured output. Same return shape as the old client so callsites change minimally.
Router provider === "ollama" → "mlx". Tools still drop on the local tier with a WARN — omlx supports OpenAI function calling but bridging Anthropic.Tool ↔ OpenAI tool shape is more work than this swap should carry.
Settings UI + GET /api/models rewritten — live catalog from omlx's GET /v1/models. Banner + helper text point at localhost:8000/admin.
DB migration phase11_mlx_swap rewrote Settings.{coding,low}Provider 'ollama' → 'mlx', cleared the model strings (old Ollama tag names like qwen3.6:35b won't resolve in omlx), reset daydreamModels to ['opus-4.7']. Han…
