Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR update for April 3rd, 2026.

Josh Hawkins merged significant mask and zone editor fixes, addressing multiple UI stability issues. The update resolves websocket crashes when creating new masks or zones before naming, fixes deleted items not disappearing from lists, and ensures proper validation before saving. The changes span nine files with enhanced form validation and clearer user messaging for profile overrides.

Nicolas Mowen merged automatic llama.cpp context configuration improvements. This update adds model probing capabilities and automatic context detection, reducing manual configuration requirements for AI model integration. The changes include updated documentation and enhanced model querying functionality.

Hawkins also merged a cleanup pull request removing direct go2rtc API proxy configuration in favor of existing Frigate API endpoints. This simplifies the nginx configuration by removing ten lines of redundant proxy settings.

The additional commits mirror these merged pull requests, with detailed implementation notes including guards for missing sub-commands, polygon validation requirements, and improved model property querying with debugging capabilities.

What's next: These UI stability improvements should reduce configuration errors for users setting up motion detection zones. The automated AI context detection will streamline setup for users implementing generative AI features.

That's your Frigate development update. More tomorrow.
