llama.cpp b11960 → b11968 (8 upstream commits), no source change here.

• Upstream: SVE-256 kernels for the Q6_K gemm (#27472) and the MXFP4 gemv (#28141) on ARM CPUs, CUDA MMQ fuses a MoE's gate/up projections with the GLU (#31188), a SYCL work-group argmax for short TOP_K rows (#31110), DeepSeek-V4's KV cache without the simple batch split (#31300), a gguf-py rounding fix, CODEOWNERS, s390x CI on Ubuntu 26.04 (#31317).
• No new file, no CMake / license / lockfile / WebUI change, request schema and response keys unchanged, the ggml defaults of the root CMakeLists.txt unchanged. All 14 patches apply; no patch-target file is in the range.
• Pin moved in the usual places: JLLAMA_GIT_TAG + JLLAMA_GIT_COMMIT (ac8e1694d), LlamaCppVersion, CLAUDE.md, README badge, NOTICE.md; CHANGELOG and docs/history/llama-cpp-breaking-changes.md rows.
• TODO's z17 item notes that upstream now compiles -march=arch15 with GCC 15.1 / binutils 2.44 on native Ubuntu 26.04 s390x runners.

Test plan

• Native build (Docker, GCC 13.3, build.sh -DBUILD_TESTING=ON): pin check 11968 = b11968, all 14 patches applied, 0 compiler warnings
• ctest: 728/728
• Model-backed Java tests: LlamaModelTest, TtsIntegrationTest, MultimodalIntegrationTest, ToolCallingIntegrationTest, RerankingModelTest, RouterModeIntegrationTest, RouterModeMemoryMarginIntegrationTest, NativeServerAttachSleepIntegrationTest, NativeLibraryLoadSmokeTest, LlamaCppVersionTest — 97 run, 0 failures (1 skipped)
• check-patches.py: 14 patches, 0 problems, docs/patches.md current

Walkthrough

The llama.cpp pin advances from b11960 to b11968. The Java version constant, repository version references, and release records are updated to match. The TODO also records upstream build details for the z17 variant.

Changes: llama.cpp revision update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pin and version identifiers llama/CMakeLists.txt, llama/src/main/java/net/ladenthin/llama/value/LlamaCppVersion.java, llama/legal/natives/NOTICE.md	The CMake pin, Java version constant, and recorded native revision change to b11968. The NOTICE also updates the WebUI npm bundle reference.
Upstream release records CHANGELOG.md, docs/history/llama-cpp-breaking-changes.md	The changelog records upstream changes for b11968. The history records the b11960–b11968 changes, build and test results, and patch status.
Documentation references CLAUDE.md, README.md, TODO.md	Version references and the README badge change to b11968. The z17 TODO records upstream build details and retains a check for clang support.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2eb34

The pinned dependency is aligned, but the release-history wording should clarify that the local CMake pin update is excluded.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 2eb34

The public API shape and existing version checks remain unchanged, and the native dependency stays pinned to a specific commit. No introduced security concern was established, but the upstream native-code changes were not independently verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is dependency code selected for subsequent native builds. The inspected pin and version-marker edits do not themselves add attacker-controlled inputs, grant privileges, or create a network entrypoint; they do not establish the security impact of the upstream implementation changes.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The normal fetch path retains a full commit-hash pin rather than relying on a movable tag. The existing build-number consistency check fails on a detected mismatch but is skipped when a full Git checkout is unavailable; neither behavior is introduced by this PR.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states the primary change: the llama.cpp dependency moves from b11960 to b11968. The raw summary and PR objectives confirm that the pin is updated across the CMake file, the version constant, the README badge, the NOTICE table, and the docs. The title is specific and matches the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Clarify the scope of the CMake statement.

This row says “no CMake ... change”, but the same upgrade changes llama/CMakeLists.txt to update JLLAMA_GIT_TAG and JLLAMA_GIT_COMMIT. (github.com)

Change the wording to “No upstream CMake change” or state that the local pin update is excluded. This prevents future upgrade checks from overlooking the project-side CMake change.
