* server: add get_info tool
* fix --rpc in docs
* server: harden get_info probe result handling
Report the OS as unknown when the probe process fails to spawn or times
out, so the diagnostic text from run() is never returned as an OS name.
Strip the probe output on both ends, which also drops the blank line
that ver prints before the version on Windows. Name the output and
timeout limits, and report an unreadable working directory as unknown
instead of an empty string.
* server: simplify get_info result handling
Drop the named limits and the working directory error branch, keeping
the probe result handling to a single expression.

* add a direct size condition for `large` weights; the original
dimension condition is insufficient -- q6_K lm_head for gemma-4 E2B
has [1536, 262144], which is big enough to slowdown gemv_noshuffle but
does not satisfy the dimension condition (ne0 >= 2048)

The dspark- files resolve like the other speculative sidecars: the
-hfd tag applies to them, a requested sidecar resolves without a full
model at the tag, and an explicit -md selection disables the discovery.
When no type is requested, dspark outranks dflash in the auto-selection
since its sidecar carries the extra Markov head.
Incrementing `ref_count` at the beginning is important later
in the `free()` method of the `ggml_backend_opencl_context` at program end.
If we do not increment the `ref_count`, the result would be -1 here,
and consequently, the profiling data would not be flushed and written.

* cli : persist reasoning_content in chat history
llama-cli collected reasoning from the stream for display but only
stored assistant content in messages, so --reasoning-preserve could
not re-inject prior thoughts on later turns.

Declared data structures needed for POOL1D OP, which are the vk_op_pool1d_push_constants struct and pipeline_pool1d_f32 field.

* SYCL: add oneMKL GEMM flash attention for XMX-accelerated prompt processing
* fattn-mkl: fix interleaved dst layout in normalize kernel
- Fix mkl_fa_normalize_head: use interleaved dst layout
((query * n_q_heads + head) * DV) matching TILE's
flash_attn_combine_results. Previously used dense head-major
layout which wrote head outputs to wrong addresses, corrupting
attention for all models except Qwen3.6-27B (where GQA=6 heads
were sparse enough to avoid visible overlap).
- Remove 7 redundant stream->wait() calls — SYCL in-order queue
already serializes pure SYCL kernel dependencies. Retain only
the 4 MKL GEMM ↔ SYCL handshake barriers (oneMKL GEMM uses its
own internal queue that does not respect SYCL in-order).
- Remove unused dst_row_stride, diagnostic clutter, and dead
K/V hex dump (fa_diag block in fattn-mkl.cpp).
- Add MKL_FA_DISABLE=1 env var for A/B testing.
- Add FA-DISP watchdog (MKL_FA_DEBUG=1) and FA-DIAG output
fingerprint (MKL_FA_DIAG=1) in fattn.cpp.
Tested: Gemma-4-26B, Gemma-4-31B, Qwen3.6-27B, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
Perf (B70/Battlemage, 32K, q8_0 KV):
Gemma-4-26B: 1473 t/s MKL vs 746 TILE (1.97x)
Qwen3.6-27B: 609 t/s MKL vs 330 TILE (1.85x)

- Rename MKL_FA_DEBUG → GGML_SYCL_MKL_FA_DEBUG
- Rename MKL_FA_DIAG → GGML_SYCL_MKL_FA_DIAG
- Replace fprintf(stderr, ...) / fflush(stderr) with GGML_LOG_INFO() macro
- Document all three env vars in docs/backend/SYCL.md under Runtime
- Add comment explaining MKL FA activation trigger (flash-attn + quantized
KV cache + batch-size >= 1024 + n_kv >= 1024)
Resolves review feedback from arthw.

* Thank you for the review feedback round 2: use ggml_sycl_get_env, remove dup waits, gate perf macros
- Replace raw getenv() with ggml_sycl_get_env() in all 4 env-var checks

GGML_SYCL_MKL_FA_DIAG; fattn-mkl.cpp: GGML_SYCL_MKL_FA_DEBUG)
- Remove duplicated stream->wait() before ev.wait_and_throw() in GEMM
KQ and GEMM VKQ — ev.wait_and_throw() already waits for completion
- Gate MKL_ACCUM macro behind do_print so timing accumulators are
no-ops in normal operation
- Remove redundant MIT/Intel copyright header from fattn-mkl.cpp
- Remove unused #include <cfloat>
- Expand SYCL.md MKL FA docs with step-by-step activation trigger
and example llama-cli command

* fattn-mkl: enable MKL FA for all KV cache types
Remove the quantized-only restriction on MKL activation — the MKL
kernel converts any non-F16 K/V to F16 via to_fp16_sycl before GEMM,
so F16 (default), BF16, and F32 caches all benefit from XMX hardware
acceleration. The type restriction was an unnecessary gate.
Before (F16/BF16 default cache + FA on at 32K prefill): ~356 t/s (TILE path)
After: ~670 t/s (MKL path, matching quantized-cache baseline)
Minimal change: two conditions removed, one comment updated in fattn.cpp.
No kernel or conversion code changes — the dequant pipeline already
covers all types.
* fattn-mkl: rename mkl_disable -> mkl_enable for clarity
* fattn-mkl: refine MKL FA dispatch gates
Three changes:
1. Remove quantized-only restriction - MKL FA activates for all
KV cache types (F16 default, BF16, F32, quantized). The MKL
kernel converts non-F16 K/V via to_fp16_sycl before GEMM.
2. Rename mkl_disable -> mkl_enable to match env var
(GGML_SYCL_ENABLE_MKL_FA).
3. Replace batch-size threshold with Q->ne[1] >= 32 gate.
Keeps TG (Q=1) and MTP drafts (Q=3-8) on VEC path where
fused kernel beats MKL launch overhead. Routes all
multi-token prefill through XMX-accelerated GEMM.
Production data confirms Q patterns: 1-8 TG, 32-127 cache reuse,
128+ full reprocess. At 32K F16/BF16 FA-on: 356 -> 670 t/s.
* ggml-sycl: fix F16 cache + MKL FA multi-turn corruption; add gate guards
Two changes:
1. Always copy F16 K/V to dense row-major buffers before MKL GEMM.
Previously F16 was read in-place with raw tensor strides. During
multi-turn conversations, the accumulated KV cache had different
stride properties than a fresh prefill, producing corrupted outputs.
Now dense F16 gets a fast memcpy; interleaved (Gemma) gets a strided
copy kernel. This matches what the quantized paths already did through
to_fp16_sycl.
2. Gate MKL FA on unsupported op params (max_bias, logit_softcap, batch
dim mismatch) and pathological F16 strides (nb[1] not a multiple of
ne[0]*2). These conditions would previously crash inside the MKL
kernel. Pathological strides (test-only) and ALiBi/softcap fall
through to TILE/VEC which handle them correctly.
The stride check uses modulo rather than equality, so both dense
(nb1 == ne0*2) and interleaved (nb1 == H * ne0*2) pass — all real
models use these layouts. Only test cases with overlapping rows
(nb1=32 or nb1=75 for ne0=40) are blocked.
Thanks to hmscider for the oneDNN FA PR (#25222) which surfaced the
same insight: always normalize inputs to contiguous F16 before GEMM.

* fattn-mkl: fix quant+GQA KV strides, tighten MKL gate, add K>=1024 tests
Adding K>=1024 flash-attn test cases surfaced several MKL bugs:
- Quant K/V with a padded seq-view (real KV cache) used the wrong
strides in the dequant path... only the true Gemma interleave
layout should reconstruct strides. nb[2] vs ne[1]*nb[1]
- Gate was firing on shapes the kernel doesn't handle: head_dim < 64
or not a multiple of 64, MHA, attention sinks, and
bf16 decode... fell through to vec which no bf16 case.
Gate MKL to the validated envelope: gqa>=2, head_dim 64 through 512
(has to be a multiple of 64) with matching K/V head size, mask,
no sinks/alibi/softcap... everything else falls back to tile.
Covers Qwen Dense/MoE and Gemma4 Dense/MoE
Ran test-backend-ops -o FLASH_ATTN_EXT: 3641/3641 pass.
Perplexity unchanged... 6.7267 MKL vs 6.7290 stock using
