# Changelog
+## 2.0.1 — 2025-11-28
+
+**Bug Fix & Enhancement Release**: CLI exit code propagation fixes + Portfolio Discovery for stop token validation.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **CLI `run` command exit codes** (GitHub Issue #38): `mlxk run` now correctly returns exit code 1 when model execution fails, enabling proper error detection in shell scripts and automation workflows
+ - **Both modes fixed**: Text mode and JSON mode now properly propagate errors
+ - **JSON mode**: Returns `{"status": "error", "error": {...}}` with exit code 1
+ - **Text mode**: Prints `"Error: ..."` message and returns exit code 1
+ - **Affects**: Shell scripts using `mlxk run && next_step`, batch processing, model validation workflows
+ - **Root cause**: `run_model()` returned `None` in text mode instead of error strings; CLI had no way to detect text-mode failures
+ - **Fix**:
+ - Modified `mlxk2/operations/run.py` to return `"Error: ..."` strings in both modes (lines 50-86, 125-129)
+ - CLI error detection in `mlxk2/cli.py:273-288` now catches errors for both modes
+ - **Examples of fixed scenarios**:
+ - Nonexistent model: `mlxk run bad-model "hi"` → exit 1 (was: exit 0)
+ - Incompatible model: Runtime version mismatch → exit 1 (was: exit 0)
+ - Runtime exceptions: OOM, loading failures → exit 1 (was: exit 0)
+
+- **Stop token validation Portfolio Discovery** (GitHub Issue #32, ADR-009): Live stop token tests now support dynamic model discovery and HF_HOME-optional testing
+ - **Portfolio Discovery**: Auto-discovers all MLX chat models in `HF_HOME` cache (filter: MLX + healthy + runtime_compatible + chat)
+ - **RAM-Aware Testing**: Progressive RAM budgets (40-70%) prevent OOM during multi-model validation
+ - **Empirical Reporting**: Generates `stop_token_config_report.json` with cross-model stop token findings
+ - **Fallback Support**: Tests work without `HF_HOME` using 3 predefined models (MXFP4, Qwen, Llama)
+ - **Marker-Required**: Tests excluded from default suite, use `pytest -m live_stop_tokens` to run
+ - **Implementation**: `tests_2.0/test_stop_tokens_live.py` (~110 LOC for discovery + RAM gating)
+
+### Testing
+
+- 306 passed, 20 skipped (including 4 live stop token tests, marker-required)
+- **New test files**:
+ - `tests_2.0/test_cli_run_exit_codes.py` validates both text and JSON mode exit codes (+9 tests)
+ - `tests_2.0/test_stop_tokens_live.py` implements Portfolio Discovery with HF_HOME-optional fallback (+4 tests)
+- **Updated tests**: `tests_2.0/test_run_complete.py` reflects new error contract
+- Zero regressions in full test suite
+

+### Upgrade from 2.0.0-beta.x
+
+If you've been using beta versions, use a clean reinstall to avoid conflicts:
+
+```bash
+# Clean upgrade from beta
+pip uninstall mlx-knife -y
+pip install mlx-knife
+
+# Verify version
+mlxk --version # Should show: mlxk 2.0.0
+mlxk2 --version # Should show: mlxk2 2.0.0 (alias)
+```
+
+**Why clean reinstall for beta users?**
+Beta versions used `mlxk2` as the primary command. A clean reinstall ensures all command aliases are properly installed.

+## Real-Model Testing (Implemented)
+
+**Status:** ✅ Live in 2.0.1 (Portfolio Discovery, ADR-009)
+
+### Portfolio Discovery
+
+Auto-discovers and tests all MLX chat models in user cache.
+
+**Location:** `test_stop_tokens_live.py` (Category 2: Live Tests)
+**Marker:** `live_stop_tokens`
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# With HF_HOME: Auto-discovers all MLX chat models
+export HF_HOME=/path/to/cache
+pytest -m live_stop_tokens -v
+
+# Without HF_HOME: Uses 3 predefined models (must exist in cache)
+pytest -m live_stop_tokens -v # → Runs if models present, else fails
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ **Model Filtering:** MLX + healthy + runtime_compatible + chat only
+- ✅ **Portfolio Discovery:** Scans `HF_HOME/hub/models--*/` for all qualifying models
+- ✅ **RAM-Aware:** Progressive budgets prevent OOM (40%-70% of system RAM)
+- ✅ **Empirical Report:** Generates `stop_token_config_report.json` with findings
+- ✅ **Fallback:** Uses 3 predefined models (MXFP4, Qwen, Llama) if HF_HOME not set - models must exist in HF cache
+
+### RAM-Aware Model Selection
+
+**Implementation:** `get_safe_ram_budget_gb()`, `should_skip_model()`
+
+**Progressive RAM Budgets:**
+
+| System RAM | Budget | Available for Models |
+|------------|--------|---------------------|
+| 16GB | 40% | 6.4GB |
+| 32GB | 50% | 16GB |
+| 64GB | 60% | 38.4GB |
+| 96GB+ | 70% | 67GB+ |
+
+**Rationale:** OS overhead is ~4-6GB (constant), larger systems have more headroom.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Models exceeding budget → Auto-skipped
+- Skip reason: "Model requires XGB but only YGB available"
+- Empirical report tracks skipped models
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+# 32GB system → 16GB budget
+# Qwen-0.5B (1GB) → ✅ RUN
+# Llama-3.2-3B (4GB) → ✅ RUN
+# Mistral-7B (8GB) → ✅ RUN
+# Mixtral-8x7B (32GB) → ⏭️ SKIP (exceeds 16GB budget)

This testing framework validates MLX Knife 2.0's JSON-first architecture through comprehensive isolated testing with minimal live dependencies.
-## Future: Real-Model Server Testing (TODO)
+## Future: Server E2E Testing (TODO, ADR-011)
-**Status:** Currently not implemented in 2.0, but valuable for comprehensive model validation
+**Status:** Planned for post-2.0.1
-### Rationale
-While 2.0 uses MLX stubs for fast testing, real-model server tests validate:
-- Model compatibility across different architectures (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, etc.)
-- Memory management with actual model weights
-- Generation quality and stop token behavior
-- Performance characteristics under load
+### Scope
-### RAM-Aware Model Selection Strategy
+End-to-end validation of Server/HTTP/CLI with real models:
+- **HTTP API:** `/v1/chat/completions` (streaming + non-streaming)
+- **SSE Format:** Server-Sent Events validation
+- **CLI Integration:** `mlxk run`, `mlxk server` subprocess tests
+- **Streaming Parity:** Issue #20 regression protection
-**Methodology:** Automatically select test models based on available system RAM to ensure tests don't fail due to insufficient memory.
+### Planned Implementation
-**Model RAM Requirements (Rough Estimates):**
+**Location:** `tests_2.0/live/test_server_e2e.py`, `test_streaming_parity.py`, `test_cli_e2e.py`
+**Marker:** `live_e2e` (future)
+**Infrastructure:** Reuses Portfolio Discovery + RAM-Aware logic from ADR-009
+
+**Example:**
```python
-MODEL_RAM_ESTIMATES = {
- "0.5B-4bit": 1, # ~1GB RAM needed
- "1B-4bit": 2, # ~2GB RAM needed
- "3B-4bit": 4, # ~4GB RAM needed
- "7B-4bit": 8, # ~8GB RAM needed
- "8x7B-4bit": 32, # ~32GB RAM needed (MoE)
- "30B-4bit": 40, # ~40GB RAM needed
- "70B-4bit": 80, # ~80GB RAM needed

+ # Validate SSE format, stop tokens, no visible EOS

-**Test Model Matrix by System RAM:**
-
-| System RAM | Test Models | Purpose |
-|------------|-------------|---------|
-| **16GB** | Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-4bit
Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-4bit
Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-4bit | Basic functionality, small model validation |
-| **32GB** | + Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-4bit
+ Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-4bit
+ Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-4bit | Medium model validation, MoE architecture |
-| **64GB** | + Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-4bit
+ Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-4bit | Large model validation, context handling |
-| **96GB+** | + Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct-4bit | Huge model validation, memory limits |
-
-### Implementation Approach (Future)
-
-**Test Structure:**
-```python
-@pytest.mark.server_real # Future marker for real-model tests
-@pytest.mark.parametrize("model", get_safe_models_for_system())
-def test_model_generation_quality(model_name: str, ram_needed: int):
- """Validate model generates appropriate responses."""
- # Auto-skip if insufficient RAM
- # Test actual generation quality
- # Validate stop tokens work correctly
- # Check memory cleanup
-```
-
-**Benefits:**
-- ✅ **Real-world validation** - Catches issues MLX stubs cannot
-- ✅ **Architecture diversity** - Tests across different model families
-- ✅ **Memory management** - Validates actual RAM usage patterns
-- ✅ **Performance benchmarking** - Real generation speed metrics
-- ✅ **RAM-aware** - Tests adapt to available system resources
-
-**Implementation Status:**
-- 🚧 **TODO for post-beta.4** - Requires real MLX integration in test environment
-- 📋 **Design preserved** - RAM-aware filtering logic documented for future use
-- 🎯 **Target**: Optional `pytest -m server_real` for comprehensive model validation
+**See:** ADR-011 for detailed architecture

### Portfolio Discovery (Production Validation)
-Instead of hard-coded models, iterate over all MLX-compatible models in user cache:
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented (2.0.1)
+Instead of hard-coded models, tests iterate over all MLX-compatible models in user cache.

+- **Function:** `discover_mlx_models_in_user_cache()` (~40 LOC)

- RAM-aware: Estimates model size, skips if exceeds budget
- Returns: List of discovered models with metadata
+ Returns: List of models with: model_id, ram_needed_gb, snapshot_path

- Auto-skip models exceeding available RAM
- See `get_safe_ram_budget_gb()`, `should_skip_model()` helpers
**Safety:**
- Read-only cache access (no pull/rm)
-- Sentinel protection (`TEST-CACHE-SENTINEL`)
-- See ADR-007 for CoW constraints
+- No isolated cache needed (Category 2 pattern)
