Local LLM:
- user_settings.py: per-user hosts/models config (local_llm.json)
- routers/local_llm.py + static/local_llm.html: dedicated settings page
- llm_client.py: local OpenAI-compatible backend via httpx
- config.py: LOCAL_API_URL/KEY/MODEL + per-backend timeouts
- Active model shown near backend toggle (amber hint text)
Memory distillation:
- memory_distiller.py: DISTILL_BACKEND_MID/LONG .env overrides
- scheduler.py + notification.py: notify NC Talk after mid/long distill
- notification.py: outbound channel abstraction (NC Talk, extensible)
Session search:
- routers/files.py: GET /sessions/search?q= with excerpts grouped by date
- static/index.html + app.js: search UI in file sidebar with highlight
- _esc() helper to prevent XSS in search results
Proactive cron:
- cron_runner.py: new job types — message (send directly) and brief (LLM + send)
- Both support optional per-job channel override
Channels:
- routers/nextcloud_talk.py: consolidated using notification._send_nct_message()
- routers/auth.py: local backend status in /auth/status
- routers/chat.py: /backend returns {primary, fallback, local_model} object
UI / UX:
- Copy button for user messages (matching assistant)
- Autocomplete disabled on sensitive form fields
- settings.html: local model section replaced with link to /settings/local
Docs overhaul:
- MASTER.md hub + ARCH__SYSTEM/BACKENDS/PERSONA/CHANNELS/FUTURE.md
- ARCH__Intelligence_Layer.md replaced with redirect table
- CORTEX.md trimmed to vision only; README updated
- OPEN_WEBUI_API.md added to docs/

## What It Is
|
|
|
|
Cortex is a self-hosted personal AI platform. It routes messages from any input channel to AI backends, manages a resident agent (Inara) with persistent memory, and coordinates across a fleet of machines. It is infrastructure, not a product.
|
|
|
|
**Running at:** `https://cortex.dgrzone.com` | `systemctl --user restart cortex`
