llm.discoverModels was reachable from any declared trusted host. The
method takes a caller-supplied baseURL and makes the host issue a GET to
it, then reports the status or the parsed body — so on a LAN deployment
an anonymous caller had a probe for whatever the host can reach and the
browser cannot, plus a path that carries a draft credential. The
PRIVILEGED_METHODS doc already states the rule this broke: trustedHosts
is a DNS-rebinding fence, not authentication, so the configuration plane
stays loopback-same-origin. It is in that set now, asserted both against
the hand-built fence and over real HTTP beside the catalog reads that
deliberately stay reachable.
supportsDiscovery and listModelDiscoveryNamespaces are gone. The field
was required on the wire and read by nobody: its own contract said a
surface should offer the action "instead of naming an adapter family it
would have to hardcode", while the surface hardcodes llm-pi-ai in two
places and gates the button on whether there is anything to probe. Its
shape did not fit the second caller either — the create card has no row
to read a per-row field from. Keeping a required field alive for a
consumer that may never arrive costs every producer and fixture a value
nobody consults, which is exactly how the fixtures drifted. The registry
that fed it had no other production consumer, so registration and
disposal are now observed through the offer itself.
The Agent Note claimed the key is never logged, which the wire schema
beside it already contradicts, and predated both the provider field and
the catalog-answer path. The two new public types pointed at core.md
without a type-equiv block or manifest entry, so the generated service
catalog named documentation that did not exist.
pi-ai resolves a request's apiKey override only through a provider that
declares an api-key method: resolveProviderAuth short-circuits to that
method when the override is present, and otherwise falls through to the
credential store and then to ambient discovery. A provider with no
api-key method at all therefore resolves to nothing, and the request
fails with "Provider is not configured" before any network I/O.
Two routes hit that. openai-codex ships OAuth alone, so moving off the
/compat dispatch broke a profile that names a key for it — the old path
handed the token straight to the provider. And a catalog route naming an
api was being rebuilt with the harness's own auth, so `openai: {api:
openai-completions}` stopped reading OPENAI_API_KEY, contradicting the
documented promise that omitting a credential keeps provider-native
discovery.
Auth is now one decision for both constructions. A catalog route keeps
its installed provider's auth, through an api override too: which
environment a provider reads belongs to the provider, not to the wire
format its models speak. A catalog provider with no api-key method gets
the harness method beside its own, but only when the profile names a
credential — a keyless codex profile keeps the honest refusal, since
this adapter holds no OAuth store to resolve through.
Materialization now spreads the installed entry instead of enumerating
the result, so a Model field this package does not model survives a
pi-ai upgrade; headers went missing from an nvidia route exactly that
way once already. providerInfo reports the configured displayName, which
also joins the registration facts so a rename re-registers rather than
leaving the old label in every selector. A refused registration swap
gets its own diagnostic naming the route, matching the directory swap
beside it.
The README documented endpoint interrogation this layer does not
implement, and still described unknown providers as kept-last-good after
they became legal declarations refused at the write point. The Agent
Note claimed per-model reasoning configurability the schema never had,
required capacities the route now defaults, and stated an apiKey
override that short-circuits unconditionally.
Three defects surfaced while driving the Models page.
A hand-declared model needed an explicit contextWindow and maxTokens,
but a provider listing usually returns ids and nothing else — so the
page happily wrote a profile the adapter then rejected, which took the
whole namespace down silently. Capacities now fall back to the route's
`defaultContextWindow` (262,144) and `defaultMaxTokens` (32,768). Both
are guesses by construction, which is why they are route fields a
deployment corrects once rather than constants buried in the adapter;
the fallback sizes the model and never becomes a per-request cap.
That silent failure was the second defect. A schema-valid profile the
adapter could not serve was stored and only rejected later, disabling
every route in the namespace with nothing said. `dsh-settings` gains an
optional `validate` on registration — a check for what a schema cannot
express — and `llm-pi-ai` refuses an unserviceable section at the write
that produced it. A stored section that fails keeps the namespace's last
good value, as a schema failure already did, so an externally edited
document still cannot strand the owner. The plugin's own last-good
fallback goes with it: nothing reaching it can fail any more.
Third, a model with no reasoning metadata advertised the single level
`off`, which pi-ai translates to *omitting* the reasoning option — the
same request naming no effort produces. Selecting it disabled nothing,
so a provider whose default is to think kept thinking with `off` shown
as selected. Such a model now reports no reasoning capability at all,
which is the seam's way of saying the control is unavailable, and the
per-model `reasoning` flag is gone: without a thinkingLevelMap to spell
levels it could only invent them.
The protocol table narrows to the three a hand-declared route reaches
today, most-reached first so a surface offering a choice defaults to the
one gateways actually speak.
core-data-structures/bash.md now names dsh-bash as owner of the shared
exit-status contract parseExitStatus/ParsedExitStatus provide to both
shell tools' presentResult (mirroring the README seam paragraph); the
windows-pwsh-default roadmap no longer claims composition-first ordering
while the rendering stage ships first; the terminal-card-model JSDoc
covers the shell tools, not just bash. Re-record both bilingual pairs.
- gen-cordis-catalog / gen-persistence-catalog / gen-doc-graphs after the
error-reason and steering/message changes (line anchors and event
producer/consumer graph drifted).
- verify-translation-pairing --write --all: every bilingual pair touched
by the PR (agent notes, session/core docs, READMEs) plus the merge.
- queue-actions preserved golden re-recorded against the rebuilt client
(branch disabled on non-completed-turn tails is back in effect).
TurnEndReasonMap.error now carries a single `error: LlmFailure` field:
an LlmError keeps its structured facts, any other error flattens to
errorChain text under the UNKNOWN code. Consumers read message/code
directly instead of defending against an unknown union — this also fixes
errorChain() rendering structured failures as '[object Object]' in the
TUI and ACP error paths. Document the turn-stopping contract: a
concludesTurn result never short-circuits already-submitted next-step
work (same-step additionalContexts or racing steering still runs), data
decides.
- agent/error: drop the stale "(plus the logger)" claim; the machine only
emits the event.
- agent/inbox/claimed: document that a rejected turn boundary ends the
claimed message without discard or re-emission, and that a later batch
may reuse the turn number.
- steer(): document that a rejected step leaves steering parked until the
next wake.
- Fix stray double-space in the inbox inserted/discarded callbacks.
- Sync core.md/core.zh.md mirrors and regenerate the cordis catalog.
Steer, inject, and followup now land as durable user/message events on the
session surface; the steering/message event type and its ConversationNode
kind are removed from the client projection. Update tests, docs, generated
catalogs, and agent notes to match, and align the steering e2e fixture and
prompt inventory assertions with the durable user/message landing.
