97d9041455 docs(plan): fold Virgil review into design and implementation plan
Virgil review items integrated:
- context.Context on Generate/Chat (required for HTTP cancellation)
- Err() error on TextModel (distinguish EOS from OOM)
- Chat() on TextModel (model owns its chat template)
- Memory control functions exposed at root package level
- Functional options convention confirmed
- pkg/process confirmed — no changes needed for mlxlm

28e2a07316 docs(plan): backend abstraction implementation plan (12 tasks)
Detailed step-by-step plan for restructuring go-mlx:
- Tasks 1-8: mechanical migration to internal/metal/
- Task 9: new Generate loop with iter.Seq[Token] streaming
- Task 10: deterministic memory cleanup (fixes leak)
- Tasks 11-12: integration tests and doc updates

Critical checkpoint at Task 7: all 148 tests must pass.

c881813872 docs(design): backend abstraction with internal/metal reorganisation
Approved design for restructuring go-mlx:
- Root package becomes clean interface (TextModel, LoadModel, Token)
- All CGO code moves to internal/metal/
- Deterministic memory management (Close + per-step cleanup)
- Error propagation instead of silent logging
- mlxlm/ backend placeholder for Python subprocess support

Includes API breaking change communication in FINDINGS.md and
memory management research tasks in cpp/TODO.md.

See: docs/plans/2026-02-19-backend-abstraction-design.md

3b155f6ca7 chore(cpp): set up standalone CLion project for parallel C++ sessions
cpp/ now has its own CMakeLists.txt that independently fetches mlx-c
v0.4.1, allowing a CLion Claude to build and explore the C API surface
without conflicting with the Go-side CMake build. Updated CLAUDE.md to
reflect cpp/ as the project root with standalone build instructions.

Added priority tasks to cpp/TODO.md: mlx_contiguous search, eval
semantics verification, mlx_cumsum check for TopP sampling.

28b5c5bb47 test(sub-packages): add 33 tests for cache, sample, tokenizer
- cache_test.go (10): KVCache and RotatingKVCache — creation, single/multi
  update, bounded sliding window, reset, state access
- sample_test.go (8): greedy, temperature (high/low), topK (single/multi),
  chain composition, TopP/MinP stub pass-through
- tokenizer_test.go (15): Load (valid/missing/invalid), BOS/EOS detection,
  encode produces tokens, decode skips specials, decode regular tokens,
  DecodeToken (regular/special/space/unknown), FormatGemmaPrompt,
  GPT-2 byte maps (round-trip, printable ASCII, control chars)

Total test count: 29 → 148 across 10 test files.

37abc496ba test(core): add 86 tests for ops, array, nn, fast kernels
Phase 1 hardening: cover all previously-untested core operations.

- array_test.go (25): scalar/array creation, shape, clone, free, data access
- ops_test.go (44): arithmetic, math, matmul, reductions, shape ops, indexing, slicing, random
- nn_test.go (8): Linear (dense/bias/LoRA), Embedding, RMSNormModule, RepeatKV
- fast_test.go (9): RMSNorm, LayerNorm, RoPE, ScaledDotProductAttention

Found: Floats()/DataInt32() return wrong data on non-contiguous arrays
(transpose, broadcast, slice views). Documented in FINDINGS.md.

Also: cpp/ workspace docs for CLion Claude session, Go 1.26 impact
assessment, verified go generate → test round-trip (29→115 tests).

cae7ef05e8 feat: extract go-mlx from go-ai as standalone Metal inference package
Split mlx/ directory from forge.lthn.ai/core/go-ai into its own module.
Rewrites import paths, adds CLAUDE.md/TODO.md/FINDINGS.md for dedicated
Claude sessions. Zero external Go deps — pure CGO + mlx-c v0.4.1.
