Summary

Two things an air-gapped operator needs from core, plus a doc correction.

GOMODEL_OFFLINE=true (offline: true in config.yaml) is one switch that disables every outbound call the gateway makes on its own: the update check and the remote model catalog download. It is applied after every other config source, so neither config.yaml nor GOMODEL_VERSION_CHECK_ENABLED=true can re-enable a call underneath it. Calls to configured providers and operator-declared endpoints (OTLP, MCP upstreams, vector stores) are untouched. Startup logs the mode. Default: false, nothing changes for existing deployments.

MODEL_LIST_URL accepts a local file. A bare path (/etc/gomodel/models.json) or file:// URL is read on startup and every cache refresh, and re-parsed only when its content changes (validator is a SHA-256 of the file, reusing the existing ETag path so NotModified short-circuits exactly like a 304). A local file involves no network request, so it stays active under GOMODEL_OFFLINE=true. This lets air-gapped sites keep pricing and budgets without running an HTTP mirror.

Doc fix. docs/guides/production.mdx claimed "no update check", but the version check ships enabled by default. The air-gap section now lists both outbound calls with their defaults, the single switch, and the three ways to keep pricing offline.

Docs

  • docs/guides/production.mdx: rewritten "Air-gapped and offline deployments" section, updated checklist.
  • docs/advanced/model-metadata.mdx: file source under "Offline behavior".
  • docs/advanced/version-awareness.mdx: pointer to the offline switch.
  • docs/advanced/configuration.mdx: MODEL_LIST_URL and GOMODEL_OFFLINE rows.
  • .env.template, config/config.example.yaml.

Testing

  • config: offline drops remote and mirror URLs, keeps file and bare-path sources, wins over an explicit version_check.enabled: true; default stays online; IsLocalModelListSource table.
  • internal/modeldata: local file read for path and file://, NotModified on unchanged content, re-read on change, missing file and invalid JSON errors, localPath table.
  • Full make test-race and make lint pass via pre-commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added offline mode to disable gateway-initiated update checks and remote model catalog downloads.
    • Added support for loading model catalogs from local files, including file:// paths.
    • Preserved configured providers and local catalog access while offline mode is enabled.
  • Documentation

    • Documented offline configuration, local catalogs, per-call controls, and air-gapped deployment options.
    • Added startup logging that indicates offline mode and catalog status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The gateway adds GOMODEL_OFFLINE support, disables unsolicited remote calls, and preserves local model catalogs. The model-data fetcher now reads local paths and detects unchanged content with SHA-256 validators. Configuration, startup logging, tests, and deployment documentation were updated.

Changes

Offline model catalog

Layer / File(s) Summary
Offline configuration and enforcement
config/config.go, config/env.go, config/config_test.go, config/config.example.yaml, .env.template, docs/advanced/configuration.mdx
Adds the Offline setting and applies it after other overrides. Offline mode disables version checks and remote model catalog URLs while preserving local sources.
Local model catalog loading
internal/modeldata/fetcher.go, internal/modeldata/fetcher_test.go
Adds support for bare paths and file:// URLs. Local catalogs use SHA-256 content digests as ETags and return NotModified when unchanged.
Startup reporting and operational guidance
internal/app/bootstrap.go, docs/advanced/model-metadata.mdx, docs/advanced/version-awareness.mdx, docs/guides/production.mdx
Logs offline startup behavior and documents local catalogs, remote-call controls, and air-gapped deployment options.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 71f5c

An oversized local model catalog can consume substantial memory before being rejected, potentially disrupting gateway startup or refresh. The read should be bounded before merge.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Not ready to merge until local catalog reads are bounded before file contents are fully allocated.

The affected production path was exercised directly with boundary-sized and oversized local catalog files. The oversized case showed full-file-scale allocation before the loader returned its size error.

  1. General comment

    P2 Local catalog size limit is enforced only after full-file allocation

    • Bug
      • At internal/modeldata/fetcher.go:140-145, readLocal calls os.ReadFile(path) and only then rejects content larger than maxBodySize (10 MiB). The executable repro created a 67,108,864-byte local catalog and invoked FetchIfChanged; the call returned model list file too large while its allocation counter increased by 67,118,528 bytes.
    • Cause
      • The local-file path uses an unbounded whole-file read instead of checking file metadata before reading or reading through a maxBodySize + 1 limited reader.
    • Fix
      • Check os.Stat(path).Size() against maxBodySize before opening/reading, and preferably also read via io.LimitReader(file, maxBodySize+1) to remain bounded if the file changes between stat and read.

P2 Local catalog size limit follows an unbounded read

readLocal calls os.ReadFile before checking maxBodySize, so an oversized configured catalog is fully allocated before it is rejected. A 64 MiB local catalog consumed approximately 64 MiB through FetchIfChanged and only then returned the size error. Check the file size before reading and use a bounded reader as a race-safe backstop so catalog refreshes cannot consume memory proportional to an invalid local file.

Artifacts

Reproduction source

  • A Go test creates controlled local catalog fixtures and invokes FetchIfChanged while measuring allocations, with the takeaway that production local-file loading is directly exercised.

At-limit control output

  • The executed 10 MiB control run completed without a size error, with the takeaway that the boundary catalog is accepted.

Oversized output

  • The executed 64 MiB run allocated 67,118,528 bytes before returning the size error, with the takeaway that the limit is checked after full-file-scale allocation.

Addressed the bounded-read finding (Greptile, CodeRabbit): readLocal now rejects an oversized catalog from Stat before allocating, and reads through io.LimitReader(maxBodySize+1) as a backstop if the file grows between stat and read. New TestFetchIfChanged_LocalFileOversizedIsRejectedBeforeAllocation uses an 80 MiB sparse file and asserts total allocation stays under the 10 MiB limit.
