Delete the 96-line local copy of format_infill (utils.hpp:83-178).
The upstream server-common.h:356 exports format_prompt_infill with an
identical signature and byte-for-byte identical implementation.

Call site in handleInfill (jllama.cpp) is a pure rename — no logic change.
Future infill improvements in llama.cpp land automatically on upgrade.

Delete the 19-line local format_rerank from utils.hpp.  Upstream
server-common.h:368 exports format_prompt_rerank with the same
[BOS]q[EOS][SEP]doc[EOS] fallback logic plus support for models that
ship a dedicated rerank chat template (llama_model_chat_template).

handleRerank simplified:
- Remove the tokenize_mixed + tokenize_input_prompts pre-processing step
  (upstream format_prompt_rerank calls tokenize_input_subprompt internally).
- Pass the raw query and document strings directly.
- task.tokens receives server_tokens from the upstream function; the
  manual server_tokens(..., false) wrap is gone.

Also prune two now-unused includes from utils.hpp (build-info.h and
mtmd-helper.h were only needed by the deleted format_infill/format_rerank).

…batch loops

Both handleRerank and handleEmbeddings build a vector of tasks with the
same id/tokens/index/res_type assignment pattern.  Extract it into a
named helper and reduce each loop body to a single call.

Makes the shared batch-dispatch shape visually identical across both
handlers and keeps task construction in one testable place.

Replace direct llama_vocab_fim_pre/suf/mid calls with the equivalent
fields on server_context_meta (fim_pre_token, fim_sub_token,
fim_mid_token).  Upstream populates these from the exact same
llama_vocab_fim_* calls in server-context.cpp:3120, so behaviour is
unchanged.

Brings the FIM check into the same idiom every other read of model
state in handleInfill already uses (the meta.slot_n_ctx access right
below).  No size change; consistency win.

…ACTORING_2.md

configureParallelInference was a documented validate-and-no-op stub.
This commit makes it actually reconfigure the live llama_context for
the two fields that already have a public upstream setter:

  - n_threads        → llama_set_n_threads(ctx, n, nb)
  - n_threads_batch  → same call, second argument

Single-field updates fill the missing value from the cached
common_params captured at load time, and the cache is written back so
follow-up partial updates read the just-applied value rather than the
original.

slot_prompt_similarity remains validated (so the existing out-of-range
exception contract still holds) but is not yet applied — the field is
private inside server_context_impl and upstream b8913 exposes no
setter. The future call site is reserved as a comment; once the
proposed upstream patch (tracked in llama-cpp.patch.md) lands and the
pin advances past b8913, a follow-up commit uncomments the block.

Also fixes a build regression introduced by commit e2c6d04 (which
removed the build-info.h include from utils.hpp): jllama.cpp:668
calls llama_build_info() and now includes "build-info.h" directly
instead of relying on the transitive include.

Adds REFACTORING_2.md documenting the five commits in this branch and
the remaining gap.

C++ tests: 413 passing.

Companion document to REFACTORING_2.md.  Holds the proposed unified
diff against ggerganov/llama.cpp tag b8913 that adds a public
get_slot_prompt_similarity() / set_slot_prompt_similarity() pair on
server_context, so embedders can mutate the slot-selection threshold
at runtime instead of only at load_model() time.

Tracked artefact, not a build input.  Referenced from
REFACTORING_2.md and from the reserved comment block in
jllama.cpp::configureParallelInference.  Once the PR merges and the
pin advances past b8913, a tiny follow-up commit uncomments the
block, completing the third configurable field.

Includes:
  - rationale paragraph (PR description)
  - two-hunk unified diff (server-context.h + server-context.cpp)
  - manual-verification recipe with a self-contained C++ driver
  - land sequence covering pin bump and follow-up wire-up

…entinel

Fixes the CI failure on Ubuntu and macOS:
  RerankingModelTest.testRerankScoreRange:129 Score must be >= 0: -0.0013...

The previous assertion required score in [0, 1] under the wrong mental
model that rerank scores are probabilities.  They are not — upstream
returns the raw classification-head logit embd[0] (server-context.cpp
send_rerank()) with no sigmoid applied.  Negative logits are valid for
weakly-matched (query, document) pairs.

The CI break was triggered by commit e2c6d04 switching handleRerank
from a doubled-BOS/EOS token sequence (produced by the deleted
format_rerank + tokenize_input_prompts(..., add_special=true) chain)
to upstream's canonical [BOS?] q [EOS?] [SEP?] doc [EOS?] format.  The
new format is correct; the old test bound was overly strict.

Two changes to RerankingModelTest:

1. testRerankScoreRange — drop the [0, 1] bound; keep NaN/Inf checks;
   add |score| < 10 magnitude bound that catches token corruption
   without making any probability claim.

2. testRerankSpreadAndSign_canonicalFormatSentinel (new) — regression
   sentinel that asserts the canonical format produces a wide logit
   spread (max - min > 0.3) and that document sign tracks relevance
   (ML doc > 0; Paris doc < machine doc).  A regression to the
   doubled-token format would compress scores into a narrow positive
   band and trip this test.

Also clarifies the "Behavioural delta" paragraph in REFACTORING_2.md's
Commit-2 entry to explain the doubled-BOS/EOS history, and adds a
Commit-6 entry summarising this change.

No production code modified.

CI on Ubuntu and macOS reported

  Score spread implausibly small (0.19975334) — possible regression to
  doubled-token format

The 0.3 threshold was an estimate; empirically the Jina-Reranker-v1-tiny
model produces a canonical-format spread of ~0.20 across the four test
documents (measured 0.19975 on Ubuntu, 0.19972 on macOS — bit-identical
modulo quantisation rounding).

Lower the threshold to 0.1.  Comfortably below the observed ~0.20 (no
sensitivity to per-platform rounding), well above any plausible
noise-floor cluster, still aussagekräftig as "scores aren't all
collapsed onto one point".

The two other sentinel assertions (mlScore > 0; parisScore < machineScore)
already passed — sign and ordering are correct.  Only the absolute
spread bound was too optimistic.

… threshold)

Stale claims fixed:

  - "Done — five commits" → "seven commits" (Commit 6 added in 718fbd1,
    Commit 7 added in 3b6c47b).
  - Commit 6 bullet: "max − min > 0.3" → describes initial 0.3 guess +
    calibration to 0.1 in Commit 7.
  - Tests section: "unchanged across all five commits" → "seven commits".
  - Tests section: removed wrong claim that Commit 2 produces
    "bit-identical output" for models without a rerank template — the
    canonical [BOS?] q [EOS?] [SEP?] doc [EOS?] sequence is
    deliberately NOT bit-identical to the doubled-BOS/EOS chain; that
    difference is exactly why testRerankScoreRange and the new sentinel
    were needed.

New section:

  - Commit 7 — describes the empirical calibration of the sentinel
    spread threshold from 0.3 to 0.1, with the measured Ubuntu/macOS
    values (0.19975 / 0.19972).

No code change.

…ecord

The two-file split made sense while Pass 2 was in flight; now that all
seven Pass-2 commits have landed it reads more naturally as one
continuous record.  Restructured REFACTORING.md:

  - Header/Why/Baseline preserved.
  - "Current state" updated to the post-Pass-2 numbers (1,725 lines
    total; jllama.cpp 1,259; utils.hpp 74).
  - "Phase log" renamed to "Pass 1 — server.hpp removal" so the existing
    Phase 0-7 entries sit under a parent heading.
  - New "Pass 2 — Second-pass deduplication at b8913" section absorbs
    everything from REFACTORING_2.md: the why, the seven commits in a
    single table, the Pass-2 reduction table, the
    investigated-and-kept list, and the forward references to
    llama-cpp.patch.md.
  - "Code reduction achieved" replaced with a combined Pass-1 + Pass-2
    table showing both intermediate and final line counts.
  - "Known acceptable gap" updated to reflect the partial closure
    (n_threads / n_threads_batch live; slot_prompt_similarity parked
    behind the upstream patch).

Net change: REFACTORING_2.md (270 lines) deleted; REFACTORING.md grew
from 326 to 423 lines (the rest is dropped chrome / repeated
introductions).

No code change.
