 Provider and model discovery uses small provider-neutral descriptors. A model catalog is advisory: routing still keys on a registered provider, and an adapter may accept unlisted model ids.
 
+Registering an adapter returns a handle: the disposer, plus the atomic route replacement a plugin whose route set is user-configurable needs.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/**
+ * What {@link LlmService.registerAdapter} returns: the disposer, plus an
+ * atomic route replacement for the same adapter instance.
+ */
+interface AdapterRegistrationHandle {
+  /** Release every route this registration currently holds. */
+  (): void
+  /**
+   * Replace this registration's routes with `providers`, keeping the same
+   * adapter instance. The candidate set is validated in full first — a
+   * conflict with another adapter, an invalid name, or bad provider metadata
+   * throws and leaves the current routes untouched — and the swap itself is
+   * one synchronous section, so no request can observe a gap. An empty array
+   * is legal here (a settings section that emptied holds zero routes while
+   * staying registered), unlike an empty initial registration.
+   *
+   * Throws `LlmError` with code `REGISTRATION_DISPOSED` once the registration
+   * has been released: its routes are gone and its disposer has already run,
+   * so anything registered afterwards would have no owner left to release it.
