The policy scenario now expects the user-only quadrant in the menu with
its marker (riding the description — the hint field is claim-state ghost
text, which the menu never renders), and a new skill-user-invoke scenario
drives /name args through the composer against the real host: the claim
lands skill.invoke, the transcript shows the dedicated card with the
collapsed <skill_content> body, and a paced replay answers the injected
turn deterministically.
The user guide's model-catalog section teaches the three new knobs at
task altitude — declare levels per model, pick the reasoning dialect,
reshape catalog models with modelOverrides — with the settings.yaml
example exercising all of them, plus an UNSUPPORTED_REASONING_EFFORT
troubleshooting row. The generated plugin config catalog picks up the
new Config fields, and the bilingual Agent Note records the decision,
the alternatives considered, and the schemastery materialization
constraint that chose false over {} as the disable spelling.
A user/message carrying the skill-invocation source materializes as its
own conversation node (name/args lifted off the source metadata, never
re-parsed from the body) and renders as a right-aligned bubble: the /name
chip plus the user's trailing text, with the injected <skill_content>
collapsed behind a disclosure. A record with an unreadable name degrades
to the injected-context row.
A menu pick or an entered /name line now claims the composer into an
args-tolerant skill.invoke transaction instead of shipping the literal
text and hoping the model loads the skill. This gives every user-invocable
skill a deterministic entry point — including disable-model-invocation
skills the catalog never shows the model (issue #1470). Candidates carry
a user-only hint, and the unreached legacy <skill> reference codec is
removed (decision 21 removal cut).
A route's modelOverrides dict customizes individual installed-catalog
models — key = catalog model id, value = the same fields a models entry
takes — while the rest of the catalog keeps serving, which a models list
cannot express because declaring one replaces the served set. An
override becomes the catalog entry's configuration and resolves through
the existing entry path, so capacities, reasoningEfforts, compat, and
request-default semantics are identical to a models entry's. Unlike
Pi's config layer, which ignores unknown ids, every override that lands
nowhere is refused at the write that produced it: beside a models list,
on a hand-declared route, naming a model the catalog does not describe,
or smuggling an id through the schema's unknown-key tolerance.
Both catalog renderings now tell the model that a directly invoked skill
arrives as an inline <skill_content> block to follow without re-loading it
through the skill tool — the seam rule that keeps the user-explicit path
and the model-autonomous path from double-injecting one skill.
A model entry's reasoningEfforts dict declares its selectable thinking
levels — key = offered level, value = the wire spelling dispatch sends;
only off may leave the value empty (supported, send nothing). false
strips reasoning from a catalog model; every level is materialized
explicitly into pi-ai's thinkingLevelMap so nobody has to know pi-ai's
asymmetric absent-key defaulting. compat.thinkingFormat and
compat.supportsReasoningEffort become configurable on the route and per
model (model > route > catalog entry > pi-ai's URL-derived guess),
openai-completions only, so a private gateway speaking the DeepSeek
reasoning dialect no longer depends on its URL being recognizable.
Record-typed drift gates pin both enums to pi-ai's, and an unserviceable
declaration is refused at the write that produced it, naming route,
model, and level.
skill.list now serves every user-invocable skill and carries modelInvocable
so menus can mark user-only entries; the old model-and-user intersection
hid disable-model-invocation skills from their only legitimate entry point
(issue #1470). skill.invoke enforces user-invocation policy at the host
boundary, renders the canonical <skill_content> body, and injects it as a
user-role message carrying the skill-invocation source before starting a
turn. The connection fixture mirrors both faces for client tests.
The model-facing <skill_content> rendering moves from dsh-tool-skill to the
dsh-skill seam so the skill tool result and the upcoming user-explicit
invocation injection share one canonical shape. The seam also declares the
skill-invocation MessageSource kind that injection will stamp on its
user-role messages.
Adapter schemas now carry only credential references, but the Models join, onboarding readiness, shipped overlays, SDK scaffolding, fixtures, and active decision prose still treated a redacted literal apiKey as a supported compatibility state. That residue made an unsupported field look contractual and pinned Schemastery silent-dropping as behavior.
Delete those branches and examples, and let compositions and scaffolds use adapter-owned reference and environment resolution. Do not add a tombstone validator or change generic unknown-key behavior: literal adapter credentials have no migration contract to preserve.
Source-level environment and credential tests prove the individual loaders, but they do not prove that the published launcher runs them before Loader evaluates a shipped profile.
Start the built dsh binary with the shipped base bundle and a test-only LLM probe. Put the endpoint in $DSH_HOME/.env, put the bearer token only in $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml, remove inherited DeepSeek overrides, and assert the mock request received both without leaking the token. This covers launch order, profile composition, the adapter, and the credential seam without a real API.
Code already treats $DSH_HOME/.env as ordinary launch environment and stores managed credentials in .credentials.yaml, but public docs still described the old store, old precedence, removed literal adapter keys, and the deleted TUI. That directed users to the wrong file and overstated the supported configuration surface.
Update the existing English and Chinese owners in place, document inherited > managed > project > user credential resolution, and record the loadLayeredEnv export. Regenerate only pairing records and the source-line catalog; add no new section or site route.
