Shared compute now has exactly two model choices: MeshLLM's virtual `mesh` model, or a model you name. Buzz picks between them in one place, and buzz-agent no longer knows meshes exist. ## What changed - **MeshLLM v0.74.0 → v0.75.1.** v0.75.0 added `degrade_to_single_model`, so a `model=mesh` request is answered by one served model when there is no committee to form, instead of failing. v0.75.1 adds Mesh-LLM#1196, which skips stale pre-0.75 runtime cache entries rather than aborting startup on them — without it, anyone who had run mesh on 0.73/0.74 could not start. - **Deleted the client-side mesh catalog probe.** buzz-agent used to poll `/v1/models` (5s TTL, 30s cooldown, two-observation debounce) to decide whether `mesh` was safe to send. MeshLLM now decides per request, so the polling, its hysteresis, and its 503 fallback are gone. - **One mapping point.** `relay_mesh_wire_model()` turns the stored value into a wire name: `auto` becomes `mesh`, a named model passes through. The spawn env, the ACP harness, and the readiness probe all use it, so they cannot disagree — previously `BUZZ_ACP_MODEL` and the probe both said `auto`, a name the mesh does not advertise. - **Removed the `nostr-relay-pool` advisory exception.** #5404 allowed RUSTSEC-2026-0243 "after mesh-llm migrates to nostr-sdk >= 0.45". v0.75.1 does, so the retired crate is gone from both lockfiles and the exception would only mask a future advisory for it. - **Deleted `scripts/ensure-mesh-native-runtime.sh`** and its six justfile call sites. It built llama.cpp from source into the runtime cache; the app already downloads the signed release runtime itself, and CI never called it. ## Why it is better **−639 lines of Rust.** Availability is decided by the node that knows the answer, per request, instead of by a client cache that could be stale for up to 30 seconds. A second worker joining now takes effect on the next request rather than after two confirming probes. ## Behaviour change A 503 on an explicit `mesh` request takes the ordinary transport retry under the same model instead of failing over to a second one — there is no second model to fail over to now. MoA repairs partial committee results internally before it reaches that point. ## Validation `crates/buzz-relay/examples/mesh_agent_e2e.rs` now sends `mesh` where it previously sent `auto` or the physical model id, so no leg was covering what Buzz actually puts on the wire. 4/4 on gemma-4-E4B, gemma-4-26B-A4B, and Qwen3-8B — including a real ACP tool call through `mesh` into buzz-dev-mcp, asserted by reading the written file back off disk. Hand-tested in the desktop app on both gemma-4 sizes: picked Auto, agent logged `model_id=mesh`, replied in channel. ## Not covered A committee that forms and then loses a worker returns 502, and that needs two workers to reproduce — not testable on one machine. --------- Signed-off-by: Michael Neale <michael.neale@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Michael Neale <michael.neale@gmail.com>
