 Connection facts are not frozen at load. `resolveAdapterOptions` is the one explicit resolve step from raw config to validated facts, and the adapter re-reads them through a thunk **once per operation**: base URL, catalog, request defaults, and idle budget all take effect on the next request, while an in-flight stream keeps the facts it started with. Two optional seams feed that thunk:
 
 - **`ctx.settings`** — the plugin registers the `llm-deepseek` namespace with this same `Config` schema and its `cordis.yml` entry as the composition `base`, so a `llm-deepseek:` section in the user settings document overrides any field without a restart. Without a mounted settings service the entry config alone drives the adapter, unchanged. A live settings snapshot that passes the schema but fails a beyond-schema bound (a duplicate catalog id, a broken thinking/effort pair) keeps the last good facts and logs the failure; the entry config itself still fails plugin load.
-- **`ctx.credentials`** — the API key resolves per stream call, from the *same* resolved snapshot that supplies the endpoint: a non-empty literal `apiKey` wins, then `apiKeyEnv` through the credential seam (`$DSH_HOME/.env` under the live environment), then — only without a mounted seam — the raw environment variable. Because credential facts travel with the connection facts, a settings snapshot the resolver rejects contributes neither its endpoint nor its key: the whole previous generation keeps serving. A request with no key anywhere fails with `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` naming every configuration entry point, while the route stays registered and the catalog stays browsable — first-run onboarding is "browse models, store the key, prompt again", with no restart between.
+- **`ctx.credentials`** — the API key resolves per stream call, from the *same* resolved snapshot that supplies the endpoint: a trimmed, non-empty literal `apiKey` wins, then `apiKeyEnv` through the credential seam (`$DSH_HOME/.env` under the live environment), then — only without a mounted seam — the raw environment variable. Whitespace-only literals are absent rather than Authorization values. Because credential facts travel with the connection facts, a settings snapshot the resolver rejects contributes neither its endpoint nor its key: the whole previous generation keeps serving. A request with no key anywhere fails with `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` naming every configuration entry point, while the route stays registered and the catalog stays browsable — first-run onboarding is "browse models, store the key, prompt again", with no restart between.
 
 The one registration-captured fact is the retry policy: when its resolved value changes, the plugin re-registers the route in place (same adapter instance, one synchronous section), so `ctx.llm.providerRetryPolicy('deepseek-official')` always reports the current policy.
