Landed with the design call resolved per the owner's pick — **option 1**: the synced store is now endpoint-agnostic (persistDiscoveredModels and managedModelImport no longer drop non-chat models at write time), and chat selectability moved to read time (auto-pool expansion in autoStrategy applies filterChatSelectableModels; the models-route projection already had its chatOnly filter). Your discovery test now passes end-to-end (3/3): /api/show capabilities persist per connection and image/embedding requests route through the advertising host. Reconciliation notes: conflicted areas merged onto the current tip (adobe discovery import, requestedModel preflight signature, resolvedProvider fast-path coexists with the synced-route override — explicit resolution wins); carried base-red drains (#10055 memoization, #11071 test variants) dropped as already-landed; the managed-model-import exclusion test was propagated to the new contract (image/video models persist; the read filter still hides them from chat pickers — pinned by a new assertion). Full battery: 205/206 focused (the one red is a confirmed periodic-timer timing flake on the loaded devbox — 20/20 isolated), autoCombo vitest 30/30, combo suites 46/46, gates + typecheck clean. Thank you @yourspraveen — the capability probe + routing design was right; it just needed the store contract opened up. Fixes #11087.

| SQLite Runtime Resolution |
SQLite Runtime Resolution
OmniRoute resolves its SQLite driver at startup through a 5-step fallback chain:
-
Bundled
better-sqlite3(viadependenciesinpackage.json) — fastest, native binary, installed bynpm installwhen build tools are present. -
Runtime-installed
better-sqlite3(in~/.omniroute/runtime/) — installed lazily on first run OR byscripts/build/postinstall.mjs → scripts/postinstall.mjs. Validates native.nodemagic bytes (ELF / Mach-O / PE) before loading to guard against corrupt or wrong-platform binaries. -
node:sqlite(Node ≥22.5 stdlib) — no native build needed; used when both better-sqlite3 paths fail. Limited feature set. -
sql.js(WASM) — final fallback. Works everywhere but is slower and writes data on an interval rather than synchronously.
Why this complexity?
- Windows EBUSY:
npm install -g omniroute@latestcan fail if the previous version'sbetter_sqlite3.nodeis locked by a running process. The runtime install in~/.omniroute/runtime/sidesteps the global npm cache. - No build tools: Some environments (corporate Windows without VS Build
Tools, minimal Docker images) cannot compile
better-sqlite3. The runtime installer resolves a pre-built binary from the npm registry; the fallback drivers ensure OmniRoute still boots even if that fails. - Air-gapped systems: If the npm registry is unreachable,
node:sqliteorsql.jsguarantee baseline functionality.
Magic-byte validation
Before loading a runtime-installed .node file, OmniRoute reads the first 8
bytes and matches against known platform magics:
| Platform | Bytes (hex) | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | 7F 45 4C 46 |
elf |
| macOS 64-bit BE | FE ED FA CF |
macho |
| macOS 64-bit LE | CF FA ED FE |
macho-le |
| macOS fat (universal) | CA FE BA BE |
macho-fat |
| Windows | 4D 5A (MZ) |
pe |
A mismatched magic → file is ignored, fallback continues to the next step.
Checking the active driver
import { getDriverInfo } from "@/lib/db/core";
const info = getDriverInfo();
// { source: "bundled" | "runtime" | "runtime-installed-now" | "node-sqlite" | "sql-js",
// kind: "better-sqlite3" | "node-sqlite" | "sql-js" }
Manual control
# Skip postinstall warm-up (for fast CI installs)
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 npm install -g omniroute
# Force-reinstall runtime better-sqlite3
rm -rf ~/.omniroute/runtime
omniroute # will reinstall on next start
# Check what driver is active
omniroute config db-info # (if CLI command exists)

Single-writer topology (HA unsupported)
The driver fallback chain above still runs in one process. Default SQLite OmniRoute is a single writer:
- Do not attach two OmniRoute replicas to the same
storage.sqlitefile. - A container restart, Recreate deploy, OOM kill, or HEALTHCHECK restart drops every in-flight SSE session. There is no session drain on the stock path.
- Orchestrator liveness that treats a slow
/healthzas dead will kill the only replica. Prefer TCP liveness + HTTP/healthzreadiness. See Docker Guide — availability and Kubernetes probe recommendations.
