Models settings plugin: the provider configuration page and official-DeepSeek conditional onboarding step. It joins three wire domains into one shared snapshot — `llm.providers` (the configurable-provider directory with each route's live/dormant state), `settings.describe` (serialized schemas, layered redacted values, secret slots), and `credentials.describe` (value-free configured/source/writable badges) — and renders provider rows with one editor card at a time, without presenting route liveness as provider status.

Rows are the *configured* providers (their profile resolves in the owning namespace); a whole-section provider whose key is not configured anywhere (the first-run DeepSeek posture) renders as its open setup card instead of a row, and the add flow is a card carrying the dormant-directory provider select — a bare-mounted `llm-pi-ai` offers its whole installed catalog before any route exists. The pi-ai card additionally edits that route's **model list** and can ask the provider what it serves. A row labels API-key state with a green solid dot only when a literal key or referenced credential is confirmed configured, and with a red solid dot only when a named reference is confirmed missing; reference-free provider-native authentication and unavailable credential enrichment remain unmarked. The editor is a hand-written card per adapter family: the primary field is a single **API key** input — the page never asks for an environment-variable name; a typed key stores **write-only** through `credentials.set` under the profile's reference, deriving `<ROUTE>_API_KEY` when the profile has none, and the pi-ai profile records that derivation as `apiKeyEnv`, so `settings.yaml` never carries a key value. Leaving a new pi-ai provider's key blank saves a reference-free profile and therefore preserves provider-native authentication such as the Bedrock credential chain or Vertex ADC. A successful Apply emits a local accessible status message without echoing secret material. The collapsed 自定义设置 fold carries the curated extras — `baseURL` for both families (the deepseek placeholder shows the public endpoint) and each adapter's model catalog. Reasoning effort is deliberately NOT among them: it is a per-model capability and the models under one provider disagree about which levels they accept, so a provider-scoped control could only be set to a value some of them reject — which took the whole provider out of the model picker. The composer's model picker offers each model its own levels, and a switch there records provider, model, and effort together as the default for the next session. The profile field stays in `settings.yaml` for a deployment that knows its route. Each DeepSeek row edits `id`, optional display `name`, and optional `contextWindow`; existing fields outside that curated set survive edits, while every other profile field stays owned by `settings.yaml`. A row is deletable only when the user layer alone carries it (removal restores the composition base), and its localized confirmation dialog names the provider in the title, description, and final action. A row is tagged **Custom** when the directory entry says the owning adapter ships nothing under that key. The tag follows that answer alone: having a stored profile does not make a route custom — narrowing a shipped provider's models stores one too — and an adapter that reports nothing leaves its rows untagged rather than being read as shipped.

The DeepSeek step projects `deepseek-official` readiness from that same joined snapshot after earlier onboarding pages complete. It recognizes the official adapter through its `llm-deepseek` configurable-provider declaration, so an undeclared live route with the same provider id is not treated as repairable configuration. A configured literal `apiKey` secret sidecar or configured credential reference completes the step without rendering, including a read-only launch-environment credential. Only a mounted, active adapter with a missing writable reference shows the page that opens Settings on Models, whose existing setup card exclusively owns key input and `credentials.set`; the step never holds a secret. An absent adapter, inactive route, failed join, read-only deployment, or unusable settings or credential capability completes the step without rendering so onboarding cannot block the product; Models remains the diagnostic surface.

Every edit lands as `settings.mutate` path ops against the stored section — a set per changed field, an unset per cleared one, and a single unset for a deleted provider row. The page only ever holds the REDACTED descriptor, so it names the fields it can see rather than rebuilding a section: a stored literal secret it never received is mentioned by no op and survives. DeepSeek's `models` is one replace-by-value array: the editor shows inherited effective rows until the first model edit materializes the complete array in the user layer, while reset unsets that override. A row carries the model id and display name; its context window and output cap sit behind the row's own disclosure, the same shape the pi-ai provider form uses. Either capacity is typed as a count with an optional decimal `K` or `M` suffix (`256K`, `1M`; `1M` is 1000K) and stored as the plain count, spelled back in the shortest form that round-trips. Empty ids, duplicate ids, empty explicit names, and unreadable, non-positive, or fractional capacities fail before any write. A typed API key is judged on its own field the same way: after trimming, it must be non-empty and every character must be printable ASCII (`[\x21-\x7E]`), which is exactly what an HTTP header value can carry — the twin of `normalizeApiKey` in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm`, mirrored here because the source-plane split forbids importing it. A value shaped like a pasted `NAME=value` environment line or wrapped in matching quotes is refused as the same format failure; that paste-shape heuristic runs only in the browser, since a false positive in a resolver would leave the environment refusing the key as well. A field holding only whitespace fails rather than being silently dropped, while an empty field is not a failure at all: it means keep the stored key on an editor card, and authenticate some other way on a create card. A refused key blocks both the write and the endpoint interrogation, so the page never spends a round trip to be told what the field already says. Each settings write carries the card's current `revision`, so a concurrent write from another tab or an external `settings.yaml` edit is refused as `settings-conflict`; after settings commit, the card adopts the returned redacted user subtree and revision before storing the credential, which makes a failed credential stage retry only that stage. Deletion removes a configured, writable credential only when the profile names the page's derived `<ROUTE>_API_KEY` target, then unsets the profile; both operations are idempotent, and a partial failure remains in the identified confirmation dialog for retry. Environment credentials, custom references, and credentials whose target cannot be identified remain untouched. The page refetches on the pushed invalidations (`settings/changed`, `credentials/changed`, `models/changed`, and `connection/reset`) once it has loaded, so an external `settings.yaml` edit, a second tab, or a settings-born route converges without polling.

## Model list and endpoint interrogation

A pi-ai profile's `models` list is edited on the card: one row per model showing its id and display name, with the context window and output cap behind a per-row disclosure and two label-free actions — expand and delete — on the right. An empty list means "serve this route's built-in catalog", so a row is only ever added deliberately; clearing a capacity drops it rather than storing a value the schema would reject, and the adapter's route-level fallbacks size whatever configuration leaves out — an empty capacity shows those fallbacks' magnitude as its placeholder, a hint rather than a mirror, since the field counts `K` as 1000 and a deployment may override them. A capacity that is not a positive integer is simply not stored.

**Fetch available models** asks `llm.discoverModels` about the endpoint the form **currently shows**, including a base URL edited but not yet saved and a key typed but not yet stored, so adding a provider is one pass instead of save-then-return. The reply opens a picker rather than being written: candidates already configured start unchecked, so adopting a selection never overwrites a capacity the user corrected. A provider that cannot be interrogated is a detour, not a dead end — the adapter's own message appears beside the rows, which stay editable by hand.

**Add a custom provider** declares a route pi-ai does not ship. It is its own card rather than the editor with extra fields, because the route id is being chosen here and the settings address does not exist until it is: one `settings.mutate` sets the whole profile at `providers.<route>`, and the key travels separately through `credentials.set` under the same `<ROUTE>_API_KEY` derivation an existing provider uses. What a hand-declared route cannot default gates the create button — a unique **Provider ID**, an endpoint, a protocol, and at least one uniquely-identified model — so the failure names the field while the user is still looking at it. The id must start with a lowercase letter, because it is also the stem of the derived credential reference and a reference is a POSIX shell identifier: a digit-leading id otherwise passes every check this card makes and then fails at the credential seam with a raw regular expression. Capacities do not gate it: the adapter's fallbacks size a model the endpoint described by id alone, which is what most listings return. The protocol choices are read out of the namespace's own schema rather than a wire field or a constant, so they cannot drift from the ones the adapter accepts. The card records the conventional `apiKeyEnv` reference only when a key is typed, the same rule the editor applies, so a route declared for provider-native authentication is not born pointing at a reference nothing will ever set. When the profile write lands but the key write fails, the provider already exists: the card settles the fields describing it, retries the credential alone — re-running the profile write would carry the revision that write just superseded, so the Host would answer `settings-conflict` and the key could never be stored from here — and reports the created provider even if the user then cancels.

## Model Experience

None, as the section renders a browser configuration UI; nothing here reaches a model request.

#### KV Cache effect

None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work

- **Only the API key and curated fold fields are editable on the card** — the hand-written editor traded schema-generic field coverage for the mockup layout ([Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-web-config-plane.md)). DeepSeek exposes `baseURL`, `reasoningEffort`, and model `id`/`name`/`contextWindow`/`maxTokens`; pi-ai exposes `baseURL` and `reasoning`. Retry policy, timeouts, DeepSeek model descriptions, and other advanced fields remain in `settings.yaml`; existing model fields the editor does not show are preserved. A profile schema without the conventional fields renders the hint alone, and the two curated layouts key on the `llm-deepseek`/`llm-pi-ai` namespaces by name.
- **Credential cleanup is intentionally narrow** — deleting a row removes the configured, writable credential only when its reference is the exact `<ROUTE>_API_KEY` target this page derives. Custom references, environment credentials, and unidentifiable targets are retained because the row cannot prove ownership of them.
- **Only pi-ai routes can be hand-declared** — the custom-provider card writes into `llm-pi-ai`, the one namespace whose profiles describe a whole provider. A `llm-deepseek` route is a composition fact, not something this page can create.
- **Interrogation covers OpenAI-compatible endpoints** — the adapter reads only that listing shape, so a gateway speaking another protocol reports that it cannot be asked and its models are entered by hand.
- **Undeclared live routes render nowhere** — a route registered without a configurable-provider declaration has no settings address; it stays visible in pickers but not on this page's rows.
