//! ferrox-server: OpenAI-compatible HTTP surface (`/health`,
//! `/v1/models`, `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/completions`,
//! `/v1/tokenize`, `/v1/detokenize`, `/v1/embeddings`) over the
//! ferrox-models decoder, plus a whole-response cache for exact-repeat
//! requests (see `cache` module). Loads a real GGUF checkpoint and its
//! own real tokenizer when `-m`/`--model` or `FERROX_MODEL_PATH` is set
//! (see `model` module). Supports sampling
//! (temperature/top_p/top_k/repetition_penalty), stop sequences, and SSE
//! streaming (see `generate` module).
//!
//! Concurrency: the loaded model
//! (`Model`) is immutable once loaded and shared via `Arc`, not locked
//! behind a `Mutex` -- there is no shared mutable decoder state for
//! concurrent requests to contend on or for one panicking request to
//! poison. The *pointer* to it is swappable (`AppState::active`, behind
//! an `RwLock` held only long enough to clone one `Arc`), which is what
//! `/admin/models/load` swaps; a request that has already cloned its
//! handle finishes against the exact weights it started on, and the old
//! model is freed when the last such request lets go.
//! Each request builds its own KV cache (see `generate::generate`)
//! and runs its decode loop on tokio's blocking-thread pool via
//! `spawn_blocking`, so CPU-bound generation no longer blocks the async
//! reactor threads -- multiple requests can decode genuinely
//! concurrently, bounded by that pool rather than serialized through one
//! lock. Only the small whole-response cache is still mutable shared
//! state, and it's locked only for the brief get/put around it, never
//! across a decode.
//!
//! Streaming scope: when `stream: true` and tools are inactive, each
//! decoded chunk is pushed through a bounded `mpsc` channel from the
//! blocking generate task into the SSE writer so time-to-first-byte
//! overlaps with ongoing decode. Under continuous batching the batch
//! worker emits the same incremental chunks as the private decode loop.

    ///   on even when the caller said nothing, because some encoders
