Invocation is an ordinary session.prompt again: the pre-step gesture
boundary makes it deterministic host-side for every front end, so the
dedicated RPC (handler, wire schema, error codes, client face, fixtures)
and ui-skill's claim machinery are net deletions. The menu keeps decision
21 exactly — a pick lands literal /name text — plus the user-only marker
from skill.list's modelInvocable flag.
Review findings on #1977, each verified before acting: the 2026-08-03
declared-provider-catalog note is updated in place and cross-linked both
ways now that reasoningEfforts/compat reopened half of its rejected
alternative; resolveModelCompat inherits the catalog entry's compat only
while the resolved api still is the entry's own, so a route-level api
repoint no longer merges another protocol's shape as a completions base;
the off-with-value promise gains a request-boundary test proving pi-ai
reads thinkingLevelMap.off when the reasoning option is absent (and the
catalog-level test name stops overclaiming); the cannot-stop-thinking
wording narrows to what is actually enforced (no Off offered, explicit
Off refused — an effortless request goes out bare); the z.const(null)
comment attributes null passthrough to schemastery's nullable
short-circuit; the baseten drift-gate claim names its verification
source; and the layered-merge delete gap for dict keys is documented
under Known Limitations with the atomic-leaf follow-up in #2003.
Bilingual README updates for the four touched packages (ui-skill's claim
flow and deterministic-injection model experience, the apiproxy skills
domain, the shared renderSkillContent seam export, the catalog stitch
sentence), the implemented Agent Note triplet recording the decision and
its peer-product evidence, and the regenerated catalogs/graphs.
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.
