Add an SVE256+I8MM Q8 validation lane and close the #149 audit notes #145
Description
Carried over from #135.
- Patch 0003:
validate_wrapper.ymlstill has a v0.7.0 row in every lane, and v0.7.0 segfaults without 0003 (exit 139 on real weights, [0.17.1] Retire carried patch 0003 on llama.cpp v0.8.0 #140). Once core has shipped on v0.8.0 (0.17.1), drop the v0.7.0 rows and delete 0003. The retirement test intests/test_llama_cpp_patches.pyreads the 0003 series entry and must change with it. - SVE256+I8MM Q8 kernels: no lane runs them (
docs/v080_android_isa_qualification.md). A lane needs QEMU withsve-default-vector-length=32,sme=off, or Neoverse V1 hardware. - #149 audit notes:
tools/expected_tts_model_types.pyreturns0xaif upstream renamescommon_chat_get_tts_prompt, so a probe going false with it would pass a release without LFM3 (add a floor for known tags); thelinux_dlopen_smoke.ccomparison has no failure-path test; no mask assertion on macOS, iOS or Android;COMMAND_ERROR_IS_FATALneeds CMake 3.19 against a 3.14 minimum; the tool'sread_text()has noencoding=;llamadart_tts_lfm3_smokereports "no backends are loaded" in a Release build until backends are preloaded.

Triage: P3. No user-facing failure: the patch only applies to v0.7.0 builds, and the kernel gap is qualification coverage. Starts after core 0.17.1 ships.
Retire patch 0003 and the v0.7.0 qualification row (#185)
leehack commentedon Nov 8, 2026
First bullet done: #185 (merged as
b9985944) deletes patch 0003 and thev0.7.0LLAMADART_UPSTREAMSrow, with the matching tests and docs. CI passed 34/34 at head679f9339. Two KleidiAI source downloads returned HTTP 504 on the first attempt and passed on rerun.The issue's trigger was met: core v0.17.1–v0.17.5 pin native
v0.8.0-1, v0.18.0 pinsv0.8.0-3, and main pinsv0.9.0. Patch 0004 and thev0.8.0row stay, because core 0.18 still ships on v0.8.0.Still open here: the SVE256+I8MM Q8 lane and the #149 audit notes.
