What

Web model loading rejected contextLength, dropped backend preferences, and could route loads or embedding calls to the wrong WASM module or worker.

This PR forwards supported load options, selects a registered backend that supports the model type, and keeps runtime ownership consistent.

Changes

• Forward contextLength, ordered backend preferences, and forceReload, including the deprecated framework alias.
• Reject retired threads and unsupported required: true preferences with structured configuration errors.
• Check backend capabilities before selecting a route, retaining the catalog backend as a fallback candidate.
• Use consistent routing across synchronous loads, asynchronous loads, OPFS hydration, retries, and workers.
• Preserve the actual worker framework for model lookups and embedding reloads.
• Clear stale worker ownership after successful main-thread loads, including retries.
• Add regression coverage for backend fallback, embedding reloads, ownership transitions, and failed loads.

Verification

• 310 tests passed across 60 Web test files.
• Full Web workspace typecheck, build, and lint passed, including browser, NodeNext, and Node ESM checks.
• TypeScript protobuf regeneration produced no tracked changes.
• git diff --check passed.
• All 23 GitHub checks passed, including swift-spm.

Walkthrough

Model loading now validates supported options and encodes context length and backend preferences in ModelLoadRequest. Lifecycle loading selects framework-compatible adapters and worker routes. Worker ownership records the framework used for a load, and embedding loading can use that framework.

Align the import specifier with the mocked specifier.

Line 29 imports getActiveBackendWorkerHost from '../../../../src/runtime/BackendWorkerHost'. Line 34 mocks '../../../../src/runtime/BackendWorkerHost.js'. Vitest keys the mock registry by resolved module id. If the resolver does not unify the extensionless and .js specifiers, the binding imported at line 29 is the real function while RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts receives the mock. vi.mocked(...).mockImplementation at line 158 would then configure the wrong function and the assertions at lines 174-181 would not describe the code under test.

The coding guidelines also require relative imports in this package to name the emitted .js path.

 import type * as BackendWorkerHostModule from '../../../../src/runtime/BackendWorkerHost.js';

202-205: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Snapshot validated load options before the asynchronous acceleration step.

models.load validates options before await Runtime.setAcceleration(...), but this code later rereads options.contextLength and the caller-owned backendPreferences reference. If the caller mutates options during that await, the request can contain values that did not pass validation or a different backend order.

Copy the validated request inputs into ResolvedLoadOptions and build the request only from that snapshot.

Thanks for this, @shubhamsinnh! Web models.load() now honors contextLength and an ordered backendPreferences fallback instead of rejecting or silently dropping them, which also fixes a real base bug where a llama.cpp GGUF embedding model could load on the ONNX worker while inference went to the llama worker.

Before we merge, a couple of things to sort out:

1. bindings/web/packages/core/src/Public/Extensions/RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:108 — selectModelLoadRoute picks the first backendPreferences entry whose WASM module is registered at all, without checking the module can actually serve the request's category. An STT load with backendPreferences: [llamaCpp, sherpa] locks onto the llama.cpp module (if it's registered) and never falls through to Sherpa/ONNX, even though llama.cpp has no STT primitive. Could you add the same modality check onnxWorkerModality/isLlamaWorkerEligible already do, before a candidate is picked as the route?
2. bindings/web/packages/core/src/Public/Extensions/RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:300 — a worker-routed load discards result.framework (the proto's own comment calls it "the actual backend that executed the load, not the catalog/request pin"). Once backendPreferences can route a model to a different WASM module than its catalog framework, currentModel()/ensureLoaded() keep matching against the stale catalog value — e.g. an ONNX-catalogued embedding model force-routed to llama.cpp is later looked up under ONNX and dispatched to the wrong backend. Threading result.framework back into the registry snapshot (or keying lookups off listBackendWorkerOwnedModels()'s backendId) would fix it.

Not blocking this PR: I opened #881 for the native contextLength-on-already-loaded-model gap, #882 for the Swift LoadOptions parity gap, and #883 for GPU acceleration silently no-oping on non-llama.cpp backends — you're welcome to pick any of these up if you're interested.

Once that's in we'll take another look. Thanks again!

Hi @shubhamsinnh — I merged the current main into your branch (resolved a small conflict in bindings/web/packages/core/src/Public/API/Namespaces/models.ts) and retargeted the PR from temp/development to main.

The conflict was in the __testing__ export block, and it was worth being careful about: main exports probeAvailableRamBytes / probeAvailableStorageBytes / KNOWN_EXHAUSTED_BYTES_SENTINEL (consumed by models.probes.test.ts), while your branch exports makeModelLoadRequest / resolveLoadOptions / validateLoadOptions. Keeping only one side would have broken the other's test file, so I kept both and ran the suite on the merged result: npm run typecheck + eslint --max-warnings 0 + vitest → 60 files / 284 tests passed (up from 282, because both your new tests and main's probe tests now run).

I also retargeted the base to main. Your branch descends from main and the change lands there — your React Native and Swift counterparts of this are already in via #950 — so the base is now the branch you are actually building on.

One thing still open from my earlier review, which is the reason this is a needs-author rather than an approval — both items are in RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:

1. selectModelLoadRoute (:108) picks the first backendPreferences entry whose WASM module is registered without checking it can serve the request's category, so an STT load pinned to llama.cpp never falls through to Sherpa/ONNX.
2. A worker-routed load (:300) discards result.framework, so once preferences can route a model to a different module than its catalog framework, currentModel()/ensureLoaded() keep matching the stale catalog value.

Nothing needed from you on the merge itself; CI is re-running on the refreshed head.

Thanks for this, @shubhamsinnh! Forwarding contextLength and the ordered backendPreferences onto ModelLoadRequest closes a real gap — the pre-flight rejection was wrong, and the deprecated framework alias, the retired threads rejection and the honest refusal of BackendPreference.required are all handled well.

Before we merge, two things to sort out:

1. bindings/web/packages/core/src/Public/Extensions/RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:108 — selectModelLoadRoute adopts the first candidate whose WASM is registered, with no test that it can serve the request's category. That route framework is then passed as loadFramework into backendWorkerLoadRoute (:612), where onnxWorkerModality (:156) and isLlamaWorkerEligible (:135) treat it as an override of request.framework/model.framework — so an STT load with [llamaCpp, sherpa] locks to llama.cpp, and because each WASM has its own plugin registry and MEMFS (see the comment at :600-605) the load hard-fails instead of falling through. Could you gate each candidate on whether the module serves the request's primitive, using the capability slots that already exist (getModuleForCapability, runtime/EmscriptenModule.ts:1192), keeping the catalog module as a candidate so an onnx-first preference for an LLM still resolves to the llama WASM? A test with a LANGUAGE model and an onnx-first preference list would pin it.

2. RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:300 — the worker load path decodes ModelLoadResult (which carries the framework that actually executed the load, idl/model_types.proto:557) but records only the ownership and the module, so currentModelFromBackendWorker (:233-241) keeps matching the catalog framework and reports it back (:248). Concretely: your new test at RunAnywhere+CrossWasmModelLifecycle.test.ts:134-183 loads an ONNX-catalogued embedding onto the llama worker, and afterwards Embeddings.ensureLoaded (RunAnywhere+Embeddings.ts:92-106) gets found: true with ONNX, so requireAdapter('onnx') (:164) dispatches embedBatch to the backend that does not own the model. Recording result.framework on the ownership entry (or keying the lookup off the owner's backendId) would close it.

CodeRabbit has one optional point still open that we're happy to leave for later: #785 (review) (snapshot the validated options before the await).

Not blocking this PR: I opened #{issue} for surfacing the native fallback_reason in models.load, and #{issue} for the missing registered-but-can't-serve routing test — you're welcome to pick either up.

One housekeeping note: swift-spm is currently red on main's own pre-existing #979 breakage (a Swift file this PR does not touch). You'll need to merge current main into the branch before the checks can go green.

Once that's in we'll take another look. Thanks again!

Minor · Clear worker ownership for both backends after a main-thread… · RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:720

bindings/web/packages/core/src/Public/Extensions/RunAnywhere+ModelLifecycle.ts:720
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear worker ownership for both backends after a main-thread load.

clearModelOwnedByBackendWorker(request.modelId) uses the default backendId of 'llamacpp'. If the same model ID was previously owned by the 'onnx' worker, that ownership entry stays after the main-thread load succeeds.

This PR makes the scenario reachable. A request-level backend preference can now move one model between the ONNX worker, the llama worker, and the main thread. For example, you load an embedding on the ONNX worker. You then reload it with a llama.cpp preference while no llama worker host is active. The stale entry stays. currentModelFromBackendWorker keeps reporting the model as loaded under the old framework. getBackendWorkerModelFramework returns the old framework to Embeddings.ensureLoaded.

Clear the entry for both backends in both places.

Proposed fix

-        clearModelOwnedByBackendWorker(request.modelId);
+        clearModelOwnedByBackendWorker(request.modelId, 'llamacpp');
+        clearModelOwnedByBackendWorker(request.modelId, 'onnx');

Thanks a lot for this, @shubhamsinnh, and for your patience through the review rounds! models.load on Web now sends contextLength and the full ordered backendPreferences, picks the WASM module and BackendWorker from the requested framework (checking each module can actually serve the model's category), and records the framework that really loaded so currentModel() and embeddings stay on the right backend.

Checked: CodeRabbit reviewed the latest commit · CI green · built and linted locally merged into main (Web core typecheck, lint, 310 unit tests, and the repo's fast gates) · two independent code reviews.

Optional, small: Embeddings.ensureLoaded (RunAnywhere+Embeddings.ts:101) only reuses a preference-routed owner when a BackendWorker holds the model; a main-thread load into a non-catalog WASM would be reloaded via the catalog framework on the next embed call. Handled in the follow-ups below rather than here.

Follow-ups, not blocking: #1178 (unload the previous owner when a model's backend changes), #1179 (resolve the main-thread owner in Embeddings.ensureLoaded) — you're welcome to pick these up.

Approved from my side — it merges as soon as a second maintainer signs off.
