feat(ui): make a session that cannot send refuse to accept one

A default naming a route the Models page has since removed left the
composer saying 选择模型 while the input still accepted a message, which
then failed inside the adapter mid-turn.

`session.prompt` now refuses with `model-unavailable` before opening a
turn. That is the enforcement boundary: the method stays callable no
matter what a client disables. `session.models` reports the same fact as
`routable`, and ui-model pushes a block through the new
`ctx.conversation.blocks` registry so the bar renders the disabled
textarea it already renders without a workspace, carrying the blocker's
own reason. The push direction is forced — ui-model already depends on
ui-conversation, so ui-conversation cannot read it back.

The gate is `routable`, not "matches no advertised group": catalog
membership is advisory, so a route serving a model it stopped advertising
is missing from the groups yet perfectly usable, and `null` before the
first load never blocks so a slow Host cannot lock a working composer.

The scaffold gains a route-only adapter for fixture-less keyless
scenarios. Registering zero providers is a test artifact — every product
composition mounts one — and the goldens that froze the seat's fallback
label now show the model those scenarios actually route to.

 The resident conversation shell survives no-session and session transitions. Without a current session it renders a disabled input bar; its root-scoped `conversation.hero.workspace` slot hosts the Workspace picker. Selecting a Workspace connects or reuses its Host-owned blank session and opens that session without replacing the shell. The root always owns the same scrollport and Hero/composer subtree; separate strict-session header and body outlets fill their regions when the first Session arrives, so the Workspace picker, scroll body, composer seat, and textarea retain their React and DOM identity. Blank sessions render the same composer body as active sessions, while the InputHub carries drafts across Workspace switches and mirrors them into the session store. In the active phase the session header shows only the current session title and view tabs as ordinary column chrome; fork lineage remains session data and is not projected into the header. Beneath it the scrollport (`data-conversation-scroll`) holds the flowing views and the sticky composer stack (stats dock + input docks + bar). That scrollport reserves its scrollbar gutter unconditionally, and a view opting into a composer overlay leaves it a scroll container, so the input card keeps one horizontal position whether or not the transcript scrolls and whichever view tab is shown ([decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/bug-fix/2026-08-04-composer-tab-gutter-reservation.md)). Wheel over the textarea chains: the capped draft scrolls locally until its edge, then forwards to that host.
 
+Another plugin can make one session's composer inert through `ctx.conversation.blocks`: it sets a block carrying its own localized reason, and the bar renders the same disabled textarea with that reason as the placeholder — the no-workspace posture, reused. The push direction is the constraint, not a preference: the plugins that know a session cannot send (ui-model, when no adapter serves its route) already depend on this package, so this package cannot read them. A block is an affordance only; the Host refuses a prompt it cannot route regardless of what any client disables. The no-workspace state wins when both hold, because picking a workspace is the earlier prerequisite.
+
 The view ring is a slot: the strict session-body registration declares the session-scoped `'conversation.view'` list in its `children` table, that body renders the active entry through its renderSlot share (`only: <active id>`), and view tabs project from registration options (`id`/`order`/`label`). The chat view is this package's own entry; plugins such as ui-trajectory contribute tabs through `ctx.slots.register`, and each view owns its chrome.
 
 Approvals take over the composer through the chain this package declares: `ApprovalPanel` registers as a selector-routed `'conversation.composer'` entry (the ui-question pattern) and occupies the composer in place of the InputBar while an approval wait is pending (amber strip, justification headline, paired command line from the running call's args, one-shot refuse/allow). The `PendingApproval` domain face in `contract/slots.ts` owns the wire encoding — the `ApprovalResponsePayload` value with the audit correlation — over the runtime's `PendingWait` carrier; the broadcast `approval/resolved` frame settles the wait and restores the composer. The runtime manager projects every approval or question wait through `SessionSummary.pendingInteraction`, including sessions never instantiated; `ui-workspace` owns its sidebar presentation. Pending waits leave the message flow entirely: questions (ui-question) and approvals (ApprovalPanel) both answer through the composer takeover, so no display-only placeholder card remains. The composer's bottom-row Access seat mounts `PermissionSelect`, fed by the host-computed `permissions` projection through the standard-kit `useProjection` (key absence hides the chip); the chip opens a Menu-primitive dropdown whose kebab-case preset names render as title-case labels. Safe preset picks submit `/permission <preset>` immediately through the bar's injected `command` callback, while `danger-full-access` is presented as `Full access` and first opens an in-page Modal risk confirmation. The enabling action stays disabled until the user checks the acknowledgement; cancel, Escape, close, and mask click submit nothing.

 常驻会话壳会跨无会话与会话状态切换而保留。没有当前会话时，它会渲染禁用输入栏；其根作用域的 `conversation.hero.workspace` slot 承载 Workspace 选择器。选择 Workspace 会连接或复用由 Host 拥有的空白会话，并在不替换会话壳的情况下打开该会话。根组件始终拥有同一个滚动容器与 Hero／编辑器子树；首个会话到达时，彼此独立的严格会话页头和主体 outlet 只填入各自区域，因此 Workspace 选择器、滚动主体、编辑器 seat 与 textarea 都保留原有 React 和 DOM identity。空白会话与活跃会话渲染相同的输入区主体；InputHub 则在 Workspace 切换间携带草稿，并将草稿镜像到会话 store。活跃阶段，会话标题栏作为普通列 chrome，仅显示当前会话标题和视图标签；fork 谱系仍保留为会话数据，不投影到标题栏。其下滚动容器（`data-conversation-scroll`）承载流动排版的各视图与 sticky 编辑器栈（统计 dock＋输入区 dock＋输入栏）。该滚动容器无条件预留自己的滚动条槽，选用编辑器 overlay 的视图也仍把它保留为滚动容器，因此无论对话记录是否滚动、无论展示哪个视图标签，输入卡片都保持同一个横向位置（[决策](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/bug-fix/2026-08-04-composer-tab-gutter-reservation.md)）。textarea 上的滚轮会链式处理：限高草稿先在本地滚动，到达边缘后再转交给该宿主。
 
+别的插件可以经 `ctx.conversation.blocks` 让某个会话的编辑器变为惰性：它设置一个携带自己本地化理由的 block，输入栏就渲染同一个禁用的 textarea，并把该理由作为 placeholder——复用无 Workspace 时的那套姿态。推送方向是约束而非偏好：知道某会话发不出消息的插件（ui-model，在没有适配器服务其路由时）本就依赖本包，因此本包读不到它们。block 只是提示性设计；无论客户端禁用了什么，宿主都会拒绝一个它路由不了的 prompt。两者同时成立时以无 Workspace 姿态为准，因为选 Workspace 是更靠前的前提。
+
 视图环是一个 slot：严格会话主体注册在 `children` 表中声明 Session scope 的 `'conversation.view'` 列表，并通过自身的 renderSlot share 渲染活跃配置项（`only: <active id>`）；视图标签页则从注册选项（`id`／`order`／`label`）投影而来。聊天视图是该包自身的配置项；ui-trajectory 等插件通过 `ctx.slots.register` 贡献标签页，每个视图负责自己的 chrome。
 
 会话页头会在标题旁声明并渲染 Session scope 的 `'conversation.session.header.actions'` 列表，使功能插件无需进入骨架即可贡献控件。编辑器链的 currency 包含当前对话 `session`；ui-subagent 会选取 one-shot 或 parent 不可用的已寻址会话，并按原因显示只读文案，而普通 InputBar 会让所有已寻址 child 仅保留 Send，因为继续执行服务不公开逐 Activation 取消操作，`session.cancel` 也会绕过其所有权。
