A bug in llama-server caused it to discard restored KV caches, forcing a full re-prefill and significantly increasing processing time. The issue stemmed from the server's state saving mechanism, which serialized token data but not the checkpoint metadata necessary for efficient rollbacks. A successful fix involves persisting this checkpoint metadata to a sidecar file, allowing for faster state restoration and avoiding the lengthy re-computation of prompts. AI
