Conversation
send() checked `generating` but only set it after awaiting cancelBackgroundTask(). A conversation summary still reading its prompt can take tens of seconds to stop, and every tap on Send in that window passed the check and queued the question again. When the summary stopped, the queued sends resumed in the same millisecond with the same Date.now() message ids, and saving them failed with "UNIQUE constraint failed: chat_messages.id" (11 times on a Pixel 6a). A ref now marks the send as started before any await, the input clears and the busy state shows at once, and message ids get a random suffix. A failure before generation puts the question back in the input box. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Android chat sent the last 6 messages verbatim, counted in messages.
With the detailed personality each answer is ~500 tokens, so history
grew to ~1,700 tokens and the first word of a later question took up
to 48 s on a Pixel 6a (Qwen2.5-1.5B), against 1.6 s in a new chat. The
background conversation summary read the whole older history the same
way, and the next question waited for it.
budgetHistory (src/routing/historyBudget.ts, pure) keeps the newest turns
within 400 tokens: questions whole, earlier answers cut to their opening
sentences (~80 tokens), the latest exchange always. Used for the
answer's history and for the summary's input.
Measured on the Pixel 6a, same six questions in one chat, detailed:
first word 1.6-5.4 s (was 1.6-48 s), prompt under ~530 tokens (was up
to 1,916), decode 13-16 tok/s (was halving to 7 as the phone heated).
Follow-ups still resolve their topic ("What are the side effects?"
after a vaccines answer, "What did he publish?" after Darwin).

The warm-up that keeps the answer prompt's fixed start (persona, source rules, grounding) in the KV cache asked llama.rn for n_predict 0. On llama.rn 0.13 rc.6 that returns before the prompt is decoded: the warm-up logged "1 tokens in 0 ms" every time, even right after the session title had replaced the cache, and every answer re-read its whole prompt although 229 of its first tokens matched the prefix (checked by tokenizing both with the model's own chat template, Pixel 6a, Qwen3-4B). WARM_N_PREDICT = 1 makes the decode loop run; the one token is discarded. Measured on the same phone: the warm-up now processes the 240-token prefix, and answers read only what follows it (116 of 345 tokens, 374 of 603). On the 4B that is ~11 s less to the first word when the user pauses before asking; on the 1.5B a few seconds. The engine is shared, so iOS gets it too.

Retrieval saw only the question's own words, so follow-ups found nothing:
"What did he publish?" after a Darwin answer, "What are the side
effects?" after a vaccines answer (Pixel 6a, Qwen2.5-1.5B and Qwen3-4B:
no sources). The model resolved the reference from the history and
answered from memory, uncited.
followUpSearch (src/routing/followUp.ts, pure), from the previous
question in the history:
- a question that points back ("he", "it", "that"; Portuguese "ele",
"isso"...) is searched together with the previous question, then with
the previous question alone if that finds nothing;
- a short question with no name of its own is searched as written first,
and with the previous question only when that finds nothing;
- a question that names its own subject never borrows another topic.
Used by the router's retrieve step and the fixed-model path. On the
Pixel 6a, "What are the side effects?" now gets the Vaccine article, and
"What is the capital of Australia?" right after it doesn't pull vaccine
sources.

Two hard stops cut answers mid-sentence: Max Output Tokens (512 by default; detailed answers from Qwen2.5-1.5B hit it) and the 120 s step timeout (Qwen3-4B on a Pixel 6a writes ~4 tok/s, so every detailed answer stopped at ~450 tokens). Raising them would trade a cut answer for minutes of waiting, so both stay. answerLength (src/routing/answerLength.ts, pure) sets the length to min(max tokens, measured decode speed x 90 s), from the per-model speed the chat already records, and the style reminder asks for "about N words, and finish it". A model never measured on the phone gets the max-tokens target only. Pixel 6a, Qwen3-4B, detailed: the target came out at ~210 words; the vaccines and French/Industrial Revolution answers ended on their own (247 tokens each, 68 s and 85 s total) instead of being cut at 120 s. Read as complete, shorter than before. Qwen2.5-1.5B (~15 tok/s) gets ~310 words, the 512-token setting being its limit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The answer length used the model's median decode speed and a fixed 90 s of writing. Over one conversation on a Pixel 6a (Qwen3-4B, detailed) the phone heated and decode fell from 4.9 to 2.5 tok/s, while the first word took up to 32 s of the 120 s step timeout: two answers were still cut. The length now comes from the model's latest successful answer when it is from the last 15 minutes (its speed and its time to the first word), else the median as before. Writing time = 120 s - time to the first word - 15 s of margin, between 30 and 90 s. Same conversation, same phone: the targets went from ~220 words to ~160 as the phone warmed, and every answer they sized finished within the limit (63-101 s). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
send() adds the new question to the chat before building the history, and messagesRef can already hold it when the history is read. The question then went into the prompt twice (as the last history turn and as the question), and the follow-up search took it as the previous question: "What did he publish? What did he publish?" found nothing (Pixel 6a). The race exists on main too. The history now leaves out this send's own messages, and the follow-up search never takes the current question as the previous one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The KV cache is the one allocation mmap can't page out. llama.rn takes cache_type_k / cache_type_v; a quantized V cache needs flash attention, so Android gets K and V at q8_0 with flash attention on, and iOS (flash attention off, see initWithCpuFallback) and the CPU fallback get K only, keeping V at f16. memoryFit sizes the cache with the matching bytes per element. Pixel 6a, Qwen3-4B, n_ctx 3072: the app's resident anonymous memory after a fresh start went from ~1.27-1.31 GB to ~1.18 GB. Smaller than the ~200 MB the cache sizes predict; part of the app was in swap in both measurements. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
On ARM, llama.cpp repacks the weights at load for its fast CPU kernels. The repacked copies live in the app's own (anonymous) memory, not the mmap'd file, so Android can't drop and re-read them; it compresses them into swap. On a Pixel 6a (6 GB) with Qwen3-4B that meant ~300-700 MB free and 1.9 GB of the app in swap; about one answer in six stalled at 0.1 tok/s while weights came back from swap, and Android killed the app twice while it loaded (2.8 GB anonymous at the load peak). shouldRepack (memoryFit.ts) repacks only when the whole file plus the buffers fits the memory budget with 0.75 GB to spare; otherwise no_extra_bufts keeps the weights as the mapped file. The 1.5B on the same phone and the 4B on 8-12 GB phones still repack. No RAM readouts: repack, as before. Pixel 6a, Qwen3-4B kept as the mapped file: ~2.7 GB free instead of ~0.3-0.7 GB, no stalls (slowest answer 3.6 tok/s), no kills. Decode as fast (3.6-5.3 tok/s); prompt reading ~2x slower, so the first word comes later (median 23-26 s vs 13 s in a six-question conversation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The answer length used the previous answer's time to the first word, set before retrieval. A question with more sources or history reads longer before its first word: on a Pixel 6a (Qwen3-4B), a comparison question took 56 s against the previous answer's 11.5 s, and was cut at the 120 s step timeout. The engine now records the last answer's prompt reading speed (tokens evaluated / time to the first token) and how many tokens the warm prefix covers. The router step, once the sources are known, tokenizes the prompt it is about to send, subtracts the cached prefix, estimates the first word from that speed, and sets the length target from it (the previous answer's first word remains the fallback). The fixed-model fallback keeps the up-front target. Same six-question conversation on the Pixel 6a: estimated vs actual first word 19/23, 27/30, 54/57, 47/45 s; all six answers finished (longest 98 s), the first run where none was cut.

msisfirstTokenAt - startedAt. It is the wall time fromcompletion()call to the first token.tokensisprompt_n, which counts only the evaluated tokens. If the model emits a thinking block, the first token arrives after the prompt is read, somsis still prompt time plus time to the first emitted token. That bias is small. The larger issue is that the rate is also stored whenprompt_nis at least 32, even if the call was a stop or timeout. A stopped run still setsfirstTokenAt. This is acceptable. No change is required, but the rate also includes JS bridge latency thattimings.prompt_mswould exclude.

Size adaptive answers using the selected model’s speed.
When adaptive routing selects a model other than baseModelId, ChatScreen still passes the base model’s speed to the executor. The executor uses that speed to set the selected model’s answer target. If the selected model is slower, the target can exceed what it can generate before the step timeout, cutting the answer.
Pass recent execution records and per-model typical speeds to the executor. Compute the speed for step.modelId before calling answerLength.

Raw results behind this PR: seven conversation runs driven through the real chat screen over adb (Qwen3-4B: main, three intermediate states, final; Qwen2.5-1.5B: main, final) and the eval:device standard (17) and Vitalik (6) sets on main and the branch, with JSONL, reports and answers. The README gives the method, the code each run used, the results and the caveats, including that single questions on the 4B are slower on a 6 GB phone with the final code (the repack rule keeps it as a mapped file there).

The stricter rule (file + buffers + 0.75 GB) kept Qwen3-4B as a mapped file on a 6 GB Pixel 6a: stable in long conversations, but prompt reading ~2x slower, so single questions on the eval:device standard set took 23.0 s to the first word instead of 9.0 s on main. shouldRepack now keeps the mapped file only when the model file itself doesn't fit the memory budget, the case where repacking can't work at all (an 11 GB mixture of experts on 12 GB must stream its experts). The 4B on 6 GB repacks again: standard set, first word 11.6 s median, total 26.0 s average (main: 9.0 s, 25.3 s). Switching to the mapped file under memory pressure is left for a follow-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 8-bit KV cache (with the flash attention it needs) slowed prompt reading: on a Pixel 6a the 4B's first word on the eval:device standard set was 11.6 s median with it and 9.5 s without (main: 9.0 s; slower than main on 16 of 17 questions with it, 9 of 17 without), for ~100 MB. It now applies only when the weights are kept as the mapped file, i.e. a model too big for memory that streams from storage (the 35B deep tier on 12 GB), where a half-size cache matters. Every other model keeps the default f16 cache and llama.cpp's default flash attention, as on main. The pre-load fit check sizes the cache as f16, the larger case.

The router can answer with another model than the chat's base model, but the length target used the base model's speed. The executor now asks for the picked model's latest speed. The engine also forgets the last prompt-reading rate when it unloads a model, so the first-word estimate never uses another model's rate.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve fallback measurements when model-specific measurements are missing.
If speedFor(step.modelId) returns {} or a partial measurement, speed discards the available input.length.tokPerSec and input.length.ttftMs. answerLength then sizes the answer without those fallback values. Merge the model-specific fields with the fallback fields before calling answerLength.

The length target used the max-tokens setting, but generation stops at the step's own cap (step.maxTokens ?? 512); when that is lower, the model was asked for more words than it can write. The conversation driver also stops when the database pull fails instead of exporting an empty file. (CodeRabbit review on rferrari#72) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Hey @bgrana! Yeah, fully on board with this as we discussed in today's team meeting. I’m holding off on the final review until the current batch of in-progress tests finishes up. Once those results land, we'll dive back in and review again. Awesome work as always - let’s keep building BOAR together! 🐗 |

"there" points back only as a place ("What happened there?"), not in an existential "is there"
or "there are" ("Is there an effective treatment for malaria in adults?"), which could otherwise
search the unrelated previous question when the combined search found nothing. A name as the first
word ("Australia capital?", "EIP-1559?") counts as the question's own subject unless it is a word
questions open with. Same change as in the native port (rferrari#80, from CodeRabbit's review).

ChatViewModel sent the last 6 messages verbatim. With detailed answers that reached ~1,700 tokens, read again for every question, since the history comes after the retrieved sources in the prompt. HistoryBudget ports src/routing/historyBudget.ts from #72 (brought here with its vitest tests): newest turns first within 400 tokens, questions whole, earlier answers cut to their opening sentences (80 tokens), the latest exchange always kept. Used for the answer's history and for the summary's input. Golden test against the TypeScript: scripts/export-native-golden-history.mjs (438 leadSentences cases on corpus passages and edge cases, 34 conversations at two budgets).

Retrieval searched only the question's own words, so a follow-up ("What did he publish?", "What
are the side effects?") found no sources and was answered from the model's memory, uncited.
FollowUp ports src/routing/followUp.ts from #72 (brought here with its vitest tests): a question that
points back (he, it, isso...) is searched with the previous question, then the previous question
alone; a short question with no name of its own falls back to it when it finds nothing; one that
names its own subject never borrows. Used by the default path (AnswerPipeline) and adaptive routing
(PlanExecutor), which compress against the words that found the sources. The recorded executor
golden has no history, so it's unchanged. Golden test: scripts/export-native-golden-followup.mjs
(55 questions from the eval sets, the conversation runs and edge cases; 330 plans, 804 searches).

Android chat: faster follow-ups and complete answers in conversations
Changes to the Android chat and the shared engine, found and measured on a Pixel 6a (6 GB RAM, Tensor G1) running the dev build. On a six-question conversation with Qwen3-4B in detailed mode, all six answers now finish (0 of 6 on
main), the time to the first word drops from a median of 45 s to 9.1 s, and the run had no 0.1 tok/s stalls. Single questions (eval:device) are unchanged frommain: first word 9.5 s vs 9.0 s median.What changed
fix(chat): one send per tap while a background task stopscancelBackgroundTask(). A summary still reading its prompt can take tens of seconds to stop, so each tap in that window queued the question again, and the resumed sends collided onDate.now()ids (UNIQUE constraint failed: chat_messages.id, 11 times in one test). A ref now marks the send before any await, the input clears at once, and ids get a random suffix.perf(chat): keep conversation history within a token budgetbudgetHistorykeeps the newest turns within 400 tokens: questions whole, earlier answers cut to their opening sentences, the latest exchange always kept. Also bounds the background summary's input.fix(engine): make the answer-prefix warm-up actually prefilln_predict: 0, which on 0.13 rc.6 returns before the prompt is decoded. It logged "1 tokens in 0 ms" every time, and every answer re-read its whole prompt although its first 229 tokens matched the prefix (checked by tokenizing both with the model's chat template).WARM_N_PREDICT = 1makes it run; the token is discarded.feat(chat): search follow-up questions with the previous questionfeat(chat): give the model an answer length this phone can write in timefeat(chat): size the answer to the phone's current speedfix(chat): keep the question being sent out of its own historysetMessagesandmessagesRef), so it went into the prompt twice and a follow-up searched for itself.

Numbers are from the app's ownexecution_telemetrytable and fromnpm run eval:device.Conversation (real chat screen driven over adb; detailed personality; six questions in one chat with a 30 s pause after each answer: vaccines, side effects, evolution, "What did he publish?", French vs Industrial Revolution, capital of Australia):

mainthe shortest answer was 9 tokens ("Vaccines are generally safe, with side"). The 0.1 tok/s stalls in rows 1 and 3 happened with repacked weights while the phone had ~300 MB free and swap was full; rows 4–5 (mapped file) kept ~2.7 GB free but read prompts at half the speed. The final row is repacked again and had no stall; it was started from the app as opened by hand with cached background apps stopped, not from a scripted restart (see the evidence README).Same conversation on Qwen2.5-1.5B (the default on 6–8 GB phones; the repack rule keeps repacking it on this phone):
The two cut answers on the branch hit the 512-token cap: the 1.5B writes past the word target it's given, where the 4B follows it.

main. Per question, the final code's first word is slower thanmainon 9 of 17 and faster on 8 (median ratio 1.00×). An earlier version of this PR used a stricter repack rule that kept the 4B as a mapped file on 6 GB phones and made the first word 2.5× slower; that's fixed inskip repacking only when the model file doesn't fit. The Vitalik set wasn't rerun on the final code (the final code repacks the 4B like the "branch before the repack rule" column).Still open on 6 GB phones (same as
main): with repacked weights the 4B's load peaks at ~2.8 GB of anonymous memory. When little memory is free, Android's low-memory killer can stop the app while loading (three times in a row on 5 Oct, after which the crash guard fell back to the 1.5B), and earlier repacked runs had occasional 0.1 tok/s stalls. I'll send a separate PR that picks repack or mapped file from the memory actually free at load, and switches to the mapped file after a stall.All raw results (JSONL, reports, answers, per-answer telemetry of every conversation run, and the adb driver) are in
