+## Unreleased
+
+### Added
+
+- **Kolibri 1 (Aleph Alpha), experimental.** The open-weight English/German model
+  released 2026-10-03: 78B parameters in total, about 3.5B active per token. It
+  appears in the model list as `kolibri` and is never picked automatically. The
+  download is 47.5 GB and needs 64 GB of unified memory at minimum. Its
+  architecture is not in upstream llama.cpp yet, so the bundled server carries a
+  community patch for it, and the file is a community quant pinned to an exact
+  revision and digest. Checked on the bundled server: load, generation, tool
+  calls, reasoning on and off, and exact recall from a 60,000-token prompt.
+  Coding quality has not been benchmarked.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The bundled model server moves to llama.cpp as of 2026-10-03** (from
+  2026-08-22). Every catalogue model was re-verified on the new binary.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Model launch flag removed upstream.** llama.cpp replaced `--mmap` with
+  `--load-mode mmap`; the old spelling is now a hard error, so the launcher uses
+  the new one. A test now asks the bundled server whether it accepts every flag
+  the launcher emits, so a renamed flag fails in tests instead of at launch.

@@ -84,7 +84,8 @@ These points are extremely important - failing to follow them won't necessarily
 Common mistakes that AI agents usually make:
 - Write comments first then write code: this usually leads to extensive redundant comments. Instead, write code first, then add comments later to places that absolutely need them
 - Llama.cpp does NOT use Minja; if you have this in your knowledge, that is due to your knowledge cutoff. Llama.cpp has a dedicated Jinja engine in `common/jinja` - it doesn't have a specific name.
-- Do NOT add a new file in `tests/*` without maintainers' approval. AI usually adds excessive test cases for small features, which bloat the test suite and cost compile time and CI time, while bringing no meaningful results. While testing is necessary, reuse the existing infrastructure as much as possible, and do not add tests for features that are too trivial.
+
+Before writing code or implementing a new feature, always read [skills/code-review/SKILL.md](skills/code-review/SKILL.md). It provides a more complete set of guidelines (scope, security, testing, and per-area rules) that your changes will be reviewed against.
