# Changelog
+## [1.0.4] - 2025-08-19
+
+### Fixed
+- **Issue #14**: Interactive chat self-conversation bug resolved
+ - MLX models no longer continue generating conversation turns after their response
+ - Added context-sensitive chat stop tokens: `\nHuman:`, `\nAssistant:`, `\nYou:`, `\nUser:`
+ - Smart priority system: native model stop tokens checked first, chat tokens as fallback
+ - Affects both `mlxk run` and `mlxk server` modes
+ - Comprehensive regression test suite added with 15 tests across 7+ MLX models
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Web UI Complete Overhaul** (simple_chat.html):
+ - ๐ฆซ Branding update: Replaced ๐ช with ๐ฆซ (Beaver) emoji for friendlier appearance
+ - ๐พ Model persistence: Selected model survives browser reload via localStorage
+ - ๐ Chat history persistence: Full conversation history preserved across sessions
+ - ๐ Smart model switching: Choice to keep or clear chat history when switching models
+ - ๐ Responsive design: Full viewport height utilization, optimized screen space usage
+ - ๐ฏ Clear UX: "Clear Chat" instead of ambiguous "Clear" button
+ - ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ English dialogs: Custom modal dialogs replace German OS dialogs
+
+### Added
+- **Automated Server Testing Infrastructure**:
+ - RAM-aware model filtering: Automatic model selection based on available system RAM
+ - Self-contained server management: Automatic MLX Knife server lifecycle in tests
+ - macOS compatible: Graceful handling of permission restrictions
+ - Opt-in testing: Server tests marked `@pytest.mark.server`, excluded from default `pytest`
+ - Comprehensive testing guide with RAM-based model recommendations
+
+### Technical
+- Context-aware token decoding maintains backward compatibility
+- Native model stop tokens preserved, chat tokens only as fallback
+- Exception-safe server test infrastructure with automatic cleanup
+- Complete TESTING.md documentation for server-based regression testing
+- All existing tests continue to pass (114/114)
+

+This comprehensive testing framework validates MLX Knife's **production readiness** through local testing on real Apple Silicon hardware with actual MLX models.
+
+## Server-Based Testing (Advanced)
+
+Some tests require a running MLX Knife server with loaded models. These tests are marked with `@pytest.mark.server` and are **not run by default** with `pytest`.
+
+### Why Separate Server Tests?
+
+- **Test count varies** by loaded models (makes CI reporting inconsistent)
+- **Large memory requirements** - need different models for different RAM sizes
+- **Longer execution time** - each model needs to load individually
+- **Manual setup required** - need to download appropriate models first
+
+### Prerequisites for Server Tests
+
+| System RAM | Recommended Models | Commands |
+|------------|-------------------|----------|
+| **16GB** | Small models only | `mlxk pull mlx-community/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-4bit`
`mlxk pull mlx-community/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-4bit`
`mlxk pull mlx-community/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-4bit` |
+| **32GB** | + Medium models | `mlxk pull mlx-community/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-4bit`
`mlxk pull mlx-community/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-4bit`
`mlxk pull mlx-community/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-4bit` |
+| **64GB** | + Large models | `mlxk pull mlx-community/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506-4bit`
`mlxk pull mlx-community/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-4bit`
`mlxk pull mlx-community/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-4bit` |
+| **96GB+** | + Huge models | `mlxk pull mlx-community/Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct-4bit` |
+
+### Running Server Tests
+
+**Issue #14 Regression Tests** (Chat Self-Conversation Bug):
+
+```bash
+# Set environment
+export HF_HOME=/path/to/your/cache
+
+# Smoke test first (see which models are available)
+python tests/integration/test_issue_14.py
+
+# Run server tests only (excluded from default pytest)
+pytest -m server -v
+
+# Run specific Issue #14 tests
+pytest tests/integration/test_issue_14.py -m server -v
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```

+[...6 more model tests...]
+========== 7 passed in 45.23s ==========
+```
+
+### Future Server Tests (Planned)
+
+**Issue #15** - Token Limit vs Stop Token Race Condition:
+```bash
+pytest tests/integration/test_issue_15.py -m server -v
+```
+
+**Issue #16** - Interactive vs Server Token Policies:
+```bash
+pytest tests/integration/test_issue_16.py -m server -v
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Server Tests
+
+**Permission warnings are normal:**
+```
+WARNING: โ ๏ธ Cannot scan network connections (permission denied)
+INFO: ๐ง Falling back to process-based cleanup only
+```
+This is expected on macOS - the tests continue with process-based cleanup.
+
+**Memory issues:**
+- Tests automatically skip models exceeding 80% available RAM
+- Use smaller models if you see consistent memory failures
+- Consider external SSD for model cache to reduce memory pressure
+
+**Server startup failures:**
+```bash
+# Debug server manually
+python -m mlx_knife.cli server --port 8000
+
+# Check model health
+mlxk health
+
+# Verify environment
+echo $HF_HOME
+```
+
+### Adding New Server Tests
+
+When contributing server-based tests:
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.server
+def test_new_feature(mlx_server, model_name: str, size_str: str, ram_needed: int):
+ """Test new feature with MLX models."""
+ # Use mlx_server fixture for automatic server management
+ # Test implementation here
+```
+
+1. **Mark with `@pytest.mark.server`** - excludes from default `pytest`
+2. **Use `mlx_server` fixture** - automatic server lifecycle management
+3. **Test RAM requirements** - use `get_safe_models_for_system()` helper
+4. **Document in TESTING.md** - add to this guide
