sd-server (stable-diffusion.cpp, Vulkan) serving Qwen-Image 2.1 on this
machine. It already speaks OpenAI's image API, which is the vocabulary
`ImageRequest` is written in, so there is no translation layer — only the parts
that are true of a local GPU and not of a hosted one.
── keyless is a category, not an exception ──
`credentials.ts` decided a provider was usable by asking whether a key existed,
so a service that takes none read as unconfigured forever. The fix is an
adapter declaring `keyless`, not a dummy secret: a dummy would record a
credential that does not exist and make the secret store lie about what is
configured, and that store is the one place meant to be the truth about them.
A keyless adapter never reaches `keyFor` at all. That function's own comment
says why it uses `getSecret` rather than `getKey` — so a missing FOREIGN
credential is never minted — and a provider with no credential by design has no
business in that path.
whisper, OCR and TTS already run on this machine, so this will not be the last.
── measured, not assumed ──
The integration doc said "tens of seconds, not two". The server's own log says
512x512 completes in ~185s and 1024x1024 samples at ~41.4s/step over 20 steps,
about 14 minutes. And it serialises strictly: a second caller waits for the
first to finish entirely, so a queued 512 can wait 17 minutes before a byte
comes back.
So: 512 is the default and the substitute for `auto`, 1024 is offered with the
cost in its label, and `timeout: false` is a requirement rather than caution —
every default anyone would reach for is far under 17 minutes. The caller's
`signal` still aborts, because a user cancelling is not a client giving up.
── the model id moved, because only it could ──
`GET /v1/models` returns `sd-cpp-local`, hardcoded in sd-server with no
override. The catalogue now agrees with the server and carries "Qwen-Image 2.1
(local)" in the label, so requests name a model the server knows while the UI
still says something meaningful.
── not shipped: edit() ──
Same GPU, same queue. It doubles the ways generation can be blocked while the
generate path is unproven in anger, and `ImageAdapter` makes absence the way to
say so — the route answers 400 instead of the queue finding out late.
Verified: /v1/models answers, provider statuses report qwen-local as
configured/keyless/usable, and the shipped entry survives the merge with the
stored catalogue.json. NOT verified end to end — a generation is occupying the
GPU and I left it alone.
