+- Local model speculative decoding support. For Odysseus-tuned local models,
+  plan to ship or recommend a small same-tokenizer draft model when the serving
+  backend supports it. Early vLLM testing showed a generic `Qwen3-0.6B` draft
+  beside `Qwen3-8B` can materially reduce wall time, while an unsupported

+  grammar, and unchanged target output, not tokens/sec alone.
 - Skill/tool prompt-injection audit. User-editable skills, notes, documents,
   fetched pages, and memories should be treated as untrusted data. Keep testing
   whether models follow malicious instructions from those surfaces.

   • Searching for a model → `search_hf_models`.
   • Downloading or serving a model → these run on a SERVER. If the user names one ("on gpu-box", "on the gpu box") pass `host=`. If they DON'T name one, the tool defaults to the cookbook's currently-selected server (NOT localhost). When there are multiple servers and it's genuinely ambiguous which they mean, call `list_cookbook_servers` and ask. Only download to localhost when the user explicitly says "locally" / "on this machine" (pass `local=true`).

Do NOT invent modules like `diffusers_api_server`, and do NOT use bash/ssh/pip directly. The Cookbook route copies `scripts/diffusion_server.py` to remote hosts and registers the image endpoint.

+  • Image/inpainting/diffusion serve requests ("serve inpaint", "SDXL inpainting", "image model") → use `serve_model` with a built-in image command. Apple/MLX image repos use `python3 scripts/mlx_image_server.py --model <repo> --port 8100`; non-MLX Diffusers repos use `python3 scripts/diffusion_server.py --model <repo> --port 8100`. Do NOT use `mlx_lm.server` for image models, do NOT invent modules like `diffusers_api_server`, and do NOT use bash/ssh/pip directly.

Do NOT fabricate a tmux command — the user already saved working ones from the UI. Only fall back to raw `serve_model` if no preset matches and the autonomous launch tool is not appropriate.
   • Launching a model the user names ("serve minimax m2.7 on gpu-box") with NO preset → `serve_model {repo_id, cmd, host}`. The cookbook route OWNS tmux session creation AND state-file registration AND UI live-refresh — bypassing it produces an orphan the UI can never see. After launching, call `list_served_models` to verify readiness. If it reports a diagnosis and suggested adjusted command, retry with `serve_model` using that command instead of asking the user to debug raw tmux logs.
   • Adopting an already-running tmux session (someone or a prior bash launch started a server, but it's not in the cookbook) → `adopt_served_model {host, tmux_session, model, port}`. This registers it in cookbook_state.json AND adds it as a chat endpoint so the user can pick it in the model dropdown. Use this whenever you find a running server that the cookbook doesn't know about.
   • After ANY successful serve (preset or raw or adopted), the cookbook's serve flow auto-adds the model as an endpoint. If for some reason it didn't (e.g. the launch was external), call `adopt_served_model` to fix both at once, or `manage_endpoints` with action=add to register the URL manually.
