Phase 4 of the NOMAD Score v2 effort (stacked on #1089). Captures the raw
channel values the leaderboard scores from, computes the uncapped v2 score
in-app (byte-matching the leaderboard's server-side recompute), submits the
v2 payload, and surfaces it in the benchmark UI.
- Capture raws: per-channel sysbench values + O_DIRECT disk (W4), single/multi
thread CPU + memory, W6 consistency companions, and run-environment metadata
(run_environment, storage_path_type, gpu_compute_detected, #1016).
- AI hardening: reference model llama3.1:8b, num_predict=256, VRAM eviction
before the run + unload own model after, pre-flight disk check (~6.5GB, only
when the model is uncached), median-of-3 run (W7).
- Score: _calculateNomadScoreV2 (uncapped, reference->1000) byte-matches the
leaderboard recompute. nomad_score_v2 stays null unless a full run with AI.
- Payload: submitToRepository sends the v2 raws + score alongside legacy v1.
- UI: v2 headline score, legacy v1 as secondary, raws/env in details.
- Migration: 13 nullable columns; double (not knex float(8,2)) so millions-scale
raws keep full precision and don't break the leaderboard byte-match.
Reference constant REFERENCE_SCORES_V2.ai_tokens_per_second is still the stale
40.5 placeholder (TODO in source); locking it to the measured 13.2 is a
follow-up gated on the AMD iGPU fix (#1074). Live prod v2 submit is separately
blocked by the leaderboard TTFT floor (tracked in the leaderboard follow-up).
Verified on NOMAD3 (RTX 5060) dev env: migration applies, raws recorded,
v2 score computed, backend + benchmark.tsx typecheck clean.

Score v2 Phase 1. Safe under v1 — no scoring, weight, reference, or
submission-payload changes; only the benchmark's failure behavior and
forensic metadata.
- Fail-on-parse-miss (W3): the four SCORED sysbench metrics (CPU
events/sec, memory ops/sec, disk read/write MiB/s) now THROW when the
regex misses or the value is <= 0, instead of silently returning 0.
A parse failure (e.g. an upstream image output-format change) now
fails the run with a clear error via the existing _runBenchmark
try/catch, rather than submitting a phantom zero sub-score. Secondary/
informational fields keep their existing defaults.
- Pin sysbench by digest (W3): severalnines/sysbench@sha256:64cd003b...
(was :latest), so a latest-tag format change can't break the parsers
fleet-wide. Digest validated on the NOMAD6 reference build.
- Record provenance (W7): sysbench_digest + ollama_version (from Ollama
/api/version, null-tolerant) stored on each result. New nullable
columns + additive migration.
Verified: pinned digest pulls/runs/parses on NOMAD3; migration applies
(columns present); typecheck clean.
Part of the NOMAD Score v2 effort.

Phase 3 of the live benchmark run experience.
- ScoreReveal: replaces the abrupt run-view unmount with a deliberate
end-of-run "REPORT" card -- animated NOMAD score gauge + odometer
count-up number, sub-score gauges cascading in, Continue button +
5s auto-dismiss. Takes score scale as a prop so it survives Score v2.
- GPU-util overlay (NVIDIA): during the AI stage, a ~1Hz nvidia-smi poll
inside the Ollama container feeds live GPU utilization + VRAM into the
telemetry frames; shown in the AI hero, hidden when absent (AMD/none).
Poller is side-effect-only and cleared in a finally -- scored numbers
unchanged.
- Disk polish: reset in-test buffers on stage transition so the write
stage no longer briefly shows the carried disk-read value.
Browser-validated on NOMAD3 (RTX 5060): GPU overlay live (1% util,
0.2/8.0 GB VRAM during model load); reveal cascade + count-up; AI-only
score 39.8 (scored path unchanged).
Part of #1082 (tracker stays open).

Phase 1 of the live benchmark-run experience. Replaces the opaque (and
in sync mode, simulated) progress bar with a real-time run view driven by
actual host telemetry.
- Async run path: the UI now dispatches to the queue worker and keys off
SSE instead of faking stage progress with client-side timers.
- New BenchmarkTelemetrySampler broadcasts per-core CPU load, CPU temp
(best-effort, hidden when unavailable), and disk MB/s at 1 Hz over a new
benchmark-telemetry SSE channel. Runs in the orchestration process, never
the sysbench container, so it cannot affect scores.
- BenchmarkProgress carries the ordered stage plan + index so the frontend
renders a live stage rail.
- AI benchmark streams /api/generate for live tokens/sec and true TTFT; the
scored numbers still come from Ollama's authoritative final eval fields.
- Frontend: useBenchmarkRun hook owns both subscriptions; self-contained SVG
components (StageRail, CoreGrid, Sparkline, LiveReadout) + BenchmarkRunView,
styled in the desert palette. No chart library added.

* feat(benchmark): Require full benchmark with AI for community sharing
Only allow users to share benchmark results with the community leaderboard
when they have completed a full benchmark that includes AI performance data.
Frontend changes:
- Add AI Assistant installation check via service API query
- Show pre-flight warning when clicking Full Benchmark without AI installed
- Disable AI Only button when AI Assistant not installed
- Show "Partial Benchmark" info alert for non-shareable results
- Only display "Share with Community" for full benchmarks with AI data
- Add note about AI installation requirement with link to Apps page
Backend changes:
- Validate benchmark_type is 'full' before allowing submission
- Require ai_tokens_per_second > 0 for community submission
- Return clear error messages explaining requirements

* fix(benchmark): UI improvements and GPU detection fix
- Fix GPU detection to properly identify AMD discrete GPUs
- Fix gauge colors (high scores now green, low scores red)
- Fix gauge centering (SVG size matches container)
- Add info tooltips for Tokens/sec and Time to First Token

* fix(benchmark): Extract iGPU from AMD APU CPU name as fallback
When systeminformation doesn't detect graphics controllers (common on
headless Linux), extract the integrated GPU name from AMD APU CPU model
strings like "AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M".

* feat(benchmark): Add Builder Tag system for community leaderboard
- Add builder_tag column to benchmark_results table
- Create BuilderTagSelector component with word dropdowns + randomize
- Add 50 adjectives and 50 nouns for NOMAD-themed tags (e.g., Tactical-Llama-1234)
- Add anonymous sharing option checkbox
- Add builder tag display in Benchmark Details section
- Add Benchmark History section showing all past benchmarks
- Update submission API to accept anonymous flag
- Add /api/benchmark/builder-tag endpoint to update tags

* feat(benchmark): Add HMAC signing for leaderboard submissions
Sign benchmark submissions with HMAC-SHA256 to prevent casual API abuse.
Includes X-NOMAD-Timestamp and X-NOMAD-Signature headers.
Note: Since NOMAD is open source, a determined attacker could extract
the secret. This provides protection against casual abuse only.
