- resolveLlmRoute: reuse the yml pi-ai row for providers it already routes
(DUPLICATE_ADAPTER boot failure) and detect an unset model by origin, not
by comparison against one deployment default; covered by a new spec.
- LlmService.resolveModelInfoFor preserves (and validates) modality
metadata, arming the host image preflight for exact-route resolution.
- session.selectModel refuses a text-only target once the session log
carries an image on any replayed route; an accepted switch would strand
every later turn with no in-product recovery.
- The composer no longer gates image intake on the handshake activeModel
snapshot (wrong authority for a per-session decision); the host preflight
plus the error strip own capability, deployment limits stay client-side.
- InputHub shell teardown releases the scope's draft images (File objects
and object URLs leaked for the page lifetime).
- session.prompt image parts carry optional alt into the durable block;
ImageBlock documents assistant-side rendering as forward compatibility.
- Assembled built-client lane apps/web/tests/image-display.snapshot.ts pins
the history galleries over the authorized attachment route, the lightbox,
and the composer paste rail; the attachment rail is an accessible group.
- Docs: validateImage on the seam page, fixture byte metadata matches its
PNG, and the Agent Note claims now match the shipped coverage.
ctx.llm gains 'llm/adapters-updated' — a payload-free registry notification
emitted at every topology commit point (adapter routes registering or
disposing, directory entries appearing or withdrawing) with contained
observers and INVARIANT rethrow — plus registerConfigurableProviders/
listConfigurableProviders, the directory of routes an adapter plugin can
activate through configuration. llm-deepseek declares deepseek-official
(whole llm-deepseek section as profile); llm-pi-ai declares the full
installed catalog under providers.<provider> even while dormant, so the
web settings surface can offer every provider before any route exists.
The invariant companion asserts the registry stays readable at each
notification.
The native adapter's route was named deepseek, colliding with pi-ai's
catalog provider of the same name, so the two DeepSeek paths could never
be mounted side by side. The web settings page needs both configurable at
once. Compositions, fixtures, goldens, scaffolding defaults, and docs all
move together (pre-release, no shim); TUI/session-query-spill/
missing-credential goldens re-recorded through their keyless refresh
modes because provider-name length shifts box padding and spill
truncation points.
An empty or omitted providers dict is now the valid dormant posture: the
adapter mounts with zero routes and no catalog entries, registers routes
the moment the llm-pi-ai settings section supplies profiles, and drops
them when it empties. The TUI demo mounts the adapter bare, so adding an
openai/anthropic provider is purely a settings.yaml (or, next PR, web
form) operation with per-request apiKeyEnv credential resolution.
New credentials data-structure page (type-equiv manifested), group README,
rewritten llm-deepseek/llm-pi-ai READMEs (dynamic configuration, dict
profiles, credential chain), capability-seams/service-role registration,
Agent Note (bilingual), demo compositions mounting settings-local +
credentials-local with no inline key plumbing, installSettingsSection
consumer helper on the settings seam (deduplicating both adapters' wiring),
jscpd symmetry markers for the provider twins, runtime-closure additions for
python/sdk-runtime, and doc-budget ceilings AGENTS.md 1750→1755 /
packages/README.md 850→865 for the structural one-line group rows.
llm-deepseek gains a Loader+Include composition spec proving external
settings.yaml/.env edits reach the very next request, and a real-API e2e
where only a credentials-local document holds the key. The headless example
pins the first-run missing-credential UX as a keyless stream-json snapshot
(new credentials.cordis.snapshot.yml scenario); runLoaderSmoke learns
expectedExitCode so a designed failure surface can be pinned instead of
masked.
providers becomes a dict keyed by provider route, so the composition base
and the llm-pi-ai settings section merge per provider and the route set is
structural; the pre-release array shape and per-profile provider field fail
loud with migration directions. The adapter reads a profiles thunk once per
operation and resolves the credential per stream call (literal apiKey, then
apiKeyEnv through ctx.credentials with an ambient env fallback, then pi-ai's
provider-native discovery), so key, endpoint, and knob changes reach the
next request without restarts. Route-set or captured-retry-policy changes
re-register the same adapter instance in one synchronous section; an invalid
settings snapshot keeps the last good profiles.
The adapter takes an options thunk and a per-stream credential resolver
instead of frozen construction facts: base URL, catalog, defaults, idle
budget, and the API key re-resolve at each operation, so a settings or
credential change reaches the very next request while in-flight streams
keep the facts they started with. resolveAdapterOptions is the one explicit
resolve step (entry config fails loud at load; a live snapshot failing a
beyond-schema bound keeps the last good options). The plugin layers its
entry config under the optional llm-deepseek settings section and resolves
keys literal-first through ctx.credentials with an ambient env fallback; a
missing key now registers the route, warns, and fails each request with
actionable MISSING_CREDENTIAL instead of failing plugin load. The
registration-captured retry policy re-registers the route in place when it
changes.
