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.
The /client entry of a UI plugin exports no values beyond what cordis
loading needs; the theme constants block returns to type-only re-exports,
the per-namespace schemas move into the shared *-settings modules instead
of widening the host entries, and same-package specs import those internals
directly per the export discipline in packages/client/AGENTS.md.
bindSettingsScope mirrors the Host-side settings owner seam in the browser:
one scope per namespace publishes a snapshot store (status, section value,
revision, writability, host/memory mode), validates sections against the
namespace's serialized wire schema via dsh-client-schema-form, and keeps the
controller's listener-before-read, revisioned serialized writes, latest-wins
publication, conflict recovery, and disposal quiescence. Theme, locale, and
busy-Enter services now take the scope as a constructor collaborator, which
removes the bindPersistence/syncPreference two-phase callback pair and the
defaulted no-op persist writers; hand-written wire guards fall away in favor
of the registered schema. test-runtime gains a stubSettingsScope double.
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.
