From 244df7ae5fba74ecefb3680624711246ecd96aa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hung-Chun Tseng Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 23:08:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] Let the report calls reach a local model The report and interim-review calls always went to Google, so trying a model on one's own GPU meant editing the URL by hand. They now go to CODETRIAL_GEMINI_REST_BASE when it is set, read from the process environment like INTERVIEW_ROOM_NAME; unset, nothing changes. The live socket is untouched. scripts/gemini-shim.py answers generateContent from llama-server's OpenAI-compatible endpoint: it turns the Gemini schema into the JSON Schema llama.cpp compiles to a grammar, turns thinking off when the request asks for a zero budget, and passes upstream status codes through so the retry rules still see a 503 as a 503. tests/local_report.rs is an ignored check that makes one real generate_report call through that base. Against Qwen3.5-9B Q6_K on an RTX 5070 Ti, 3 of 8 reports passed validation; the failures were the improvementPlan rules, not the transport. --- scripts/gemini-shim.py | 225 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/gemini.rs | 23 ++++- tests/local_report.rs | 25 +++++ 3 files changed, 271 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100755 scripts/gemini-shim.py create mode 100644 tests/local_report.rs diff --git a/scripts/gemini-shim.py b/scripts/gemini-shim.py new file mode 100755 index 00000000..8e8f264b --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/gemini-shim.py @@ -0,0 +1,225 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +"""Answer Gemini `generateContent` calls from a local llama.cpp server. + +CodeTrial's report and interim-review calls speak Gemini's REST API.

The wait now defaults to the same 45 seconds, and --upstream-timeout changes it.
