feat(llm): declare pi-ai providers instead of looking them up

A pi-ai route had to name an installed catalog provider, served that
catalog's models verbatim, and could override only the endpoint. An
OpenAI-compatible gateway, a self-hosted server, or a model newer than
the pinned pi-ai release was therefore unreachable, and a stale context
window could not be corrected without upgrading the package.

A route is now a declaration whose defaults come from the installed
catalog. `catalog.ts` merges that catalog under the profile's own model
entries, `provider.ts` builds the pi-ai Provider (reusing the catalog
provider when the route keeps its protocol, so implementations this
package cannot reconstruct keep working), and the adapter serves every
operation from one `createModels()` collection. That also retires the
`@earendil-works/pi-ai/compat` import, which pi-ai documents as a
temporary entry point it deletes with its ModelManager migration.

Credentials stay on the harness seam: the resolved key rides the request
as pi-ai's highest-priority auth override, so `Models` holds no
credential store and a named-but-missing reference still fails loud
instead of falling back to an unrelated ambient key.

A model's configured maxTokens now reaches the seam as defaultMaxTokens.

+# Agent Note: pi-ai routes are declared providers, not catalog lookups
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-03-pi-ai-declared-provider-catalog.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` treated the pi-ai package's generated catalog as the boundary of what could be configured. A route key had to name an installed provider (`resolveProfiles` rejected anything else), model listing returned `getBuiltinModels(provider)` verbatim, and request-time model resolution looked the id up in that same catalog and overrode only `baseURL`. Three consequences followed, and all three were dead ends rather than gaps: an OpenAI-compatible gateway, a self-hosted server, or a provider newer than the installed catalog could not be configured at all; a model the catalog had not caught up with failed with `UNKNOWN_MODEL` even against a correct endpoint; and a model's context window and output cap were whatever the pinned pi-ai release said, so a deployment could neither correct a stale value nor supply one for a model pi-ai had never described. Upgrading the package was the only way to move any of it.
+
+The adapter also streamed through `streamSimple` from `@earendil-works/pi-ai/compat`, an entry point whose own module documentation declares it a temporary compatibility surface — its catalog reads are `@deprecated`, and it is deleted when pi-ai finishes its `ModelManager` migration. The three configuration limits and the deprecated dependency have the same fix, because pi-ai's supported runtime (`createModels()` / `createProvider()`) is built around a provider being *declared* rather than looked up.
+
+## Decision
+
+A provider route is a **declaration**, and the installed catalog is its default. `resolveProfiles` no longer checks route keys against `getBuiltinProviders()`. Instead each route resolves to a materialized model list plus the pi-ai `Provider` that serves it:
+
+- `catalog.ts` merges the installed catalog under the profile's own entries. A profile's `models` list *replaces* the route's catalog (an absent or empty list serves it unchanged), and each entry defaults its unset fields from the installed model of the same `id`. Only the fields the harness consumes are configurable — `id`, `name`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `reasoning`. Pricing and input modalities are absent from the surface because nothing reads them: `replay.ts` zeroes pi-ai's cost metadata and `context.ts` keeps only text blocks. Reasoning-level spellings, OpenAI-compatibility quirks, and model headers ride the installed entry, because restating them in configuration could not be validated.
+- `provider.ts` builds the route's `Provider`. A catalog route that keeps its catalog protocol **reuses** the installed provider with `getModels()` replaced; every other route is built by `createProvider()` over a protocol table whose entries are the same `@earendil-works/pi-ai/api/*.lazy` factories pi-ai's own provider factories use.
+- `adapter.ts` owns one `createModels()` collection, re-synced when resolution produces a new profile map, and serves `listModels`, `resolveModel`, and `stream` from it. A model's configured `maxTokens` becomes the seam's `defaultMaxTokens`, so a request naming no output cap now carries the configured one.
+
+Resolution fails loud and names the route and model at fault: a model the catalog does not describe needs an explicit `contextWindow` and `maxTokens`; a route the catalog does not ship needs `api`, `baseURL`, and a non-empty `models` list. Because the built `Provider` is part of the resolution result, a protocol or model error keeps the last good route set serving, exactly as a bad settings snapshot already did.
+
+The configurable-provider directory is now the installed catalog **joined with** every route the current profiles declare, re-registered when that set changes. Without the join a hand-declared route would have no settings address and no configuration surface could show or edit it.
+
+### Credentials stay outside pi-ai
+
+pi-ai's `Models` carries its own credential concept — a `CredentialStore` keyed by provider id, with `envApiKeyAuth` resolving `credential.key ?? env(VAR)`. Adopting it would have created a second credential source of truth beside `ctx.credentials` and, worse, reintroduced the ambient fallback the harness deliberately forbids: a named-but-missing `apiKeyEnv` must fail with `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` rather than authenticate with whatever unrelated key the environment holds.
+
+`ModelsImpl.applyAuth` treats `options.apiKey` as the highest-priority auth override, short-circuiting resolution entirely. The harness therefore resolves the route's key through its own seam, as before, and passes the result as the request's `apiKey`; the collection is constructed with no credential store. A catalog route reuses the installed provider's `auth`, which preserves its provider-native ambient discovery for a profile naming no credential. A hand-declared route gets a harness-owned `ApiKeyAuth` that reports configured-but-keyless rather than unconfigured, leaving the requirement to the protocol — which is where it lives: pi-ai's OpenAI-compatible implementation still demands a key or an `Authorization` header, and says so itself.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep `createProvider()` but skip the `Models` collection**, streaming through `provider.streamSimple(model, ctx, {apiKey})`. Smallest diff and the credential path is untouched, but `createProvider`'s `auth` is a required field that this path never invokes — a required-by-signature implementation with no caller. It also leaves `refreshModels` needing a hand-built `RefreshModelsContext`, and keeps the adapter off the runtime pi-ai actually supports.
+- **Reuse the installed provider for catalog routes and `createProvider()` only for declared ones**, with no shared resolution. Zero risk to catalog behavior, but catalog materialization, endpoint override, and per-model configuration would each exist twice, and a catalog route that repoints its protocol would have to jump paths mid-resolution. The chosen split confines the asymmetry to provider construction, where it is forced by pi-ai not exposing a built provider's API implementations.
+- **Rebuild every route through `createProvider()`**, including catalog ones. Fully symmetric, but a built `Provider` does not expose its `api`, so the protocol table would become the ceiling on which providers work — Bedrock loads its Smithy module through a separate entry point and would silently stop working.
+- **Expose pi-ai's whole `Model` shape** (cost, input modalities, `thinkingLevelMap`, `compat`). Maximum configurability, but no current consumer reads those fields, so a configured price or modality would change nothing while reading as supported.
+- **A runtime dynamic catalog** — `fetchModels` plus `ModelsStore`, refreshed in the background. Rejected for this change: it makes the model list external mutable state needing cache, invalidation, and an offline path, and the product need is a one-shot discovery action whose result the user adopts into `settings.yaml`. That action belongs to the configuration surface and is deferred with it; `settings.yaml` stays the single source of truth for what a route serves.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Configuring a provider no longer depends on a pi-ai release. A gateway, a self-hosted server, or a model newer than the pinned catalog is a `settings.yaml` edit, and a stale context window can be corrected in place. The deprecated `/compat` import is gone, so pi-ai deleting it is no longer a breaking event. `defaultMaxTokens` now flows from configuration, closing the case where a request carried no output cap at all.
+
+What it costs: `settings.yaml` grows for a declared route, because a model the catalog cannot default must state its own capacity. `api` applies to a whole route, so a mixed-protocol catalog route cannot host a model of the other protocol — splitting it across two route keys is the workaround. Nothing queries a provider's `/models`, so a model list is only as current as its last edit. Reported error shape shifts in one case: a route whose auth resolves to nothing now surfaces pi-ai's own diagnostic as an error `finish` chunk before any network call, where the previous adapter sent a keyless request and surfaced the provider's 401.
+
+## Testing
+
+`tests/catalog.spec.ts` covers the contract end to end against local mock servers: a hand-declared route streaming to its own endpoint with its own credential, its appearance in the configurable-provider directory, per-model overrides defaulting from the installed catalog, a model added to a catalog route, protocol repointing with and without an endpoint override, catalog-only metadata surviving an override, the keyless posture and its `Authorization`-header workaround, and every resolution failure that names a route or model. `tests/sdk-options.spec.ts` re-targets the SDK boundary from the removed `/compat` import to the protocol table's lazy api module, which also pins that a setup failure arrives as a terminal error chunk rather than a throw. The twin's [design-verification role](2026-06-13-twin-llm-adapters.md) is unchanged.

+# Agent Note: pi-ai 路由是被声明的提供方，而不是 catalog 查表
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-03-pi-ai-declared-provider-catalog.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 把 pi-ai 包生成的 catalog 当成了可配置范围的边界。路由键必须点名一个已安装提供方（`resolveProfiles` 拒绝其余一切），模型列举原样返回 `getBuiltinModels(provider)`，请求期的模型解析又在同一份 catalog 里查这个 id、且只覆盖 `baseURL`。由此产生三个后果，而且三个都是死路而非缺口：OpenAI 兼容网关、自建服务，或比已安装 catalog 更新的提供方，根本无法配置；catalog 尚未跟上的模型即便端点正确也会以 `UNKNOWN_MODEL` 失败；模型的上下文窗口与输出上限完全由锁定的 pi-ai 版本决定，部署既无法更正过期值，也无法为 pi-ai 从未描述过的模型补上。要动其中任何一条，只能升级依赖。
+
+适配器还经 `@earendil-works/pi-ai/compat` 的 `streamSimple` 发起流式请求，而该入口自己的模块文档声明它是临时兼容面——其 catalog 读取标了 `@deprecated`，并会在 pi-ai 完成 `ModelManager` 迁移时被删除。这三条配置限制与这个废弃依赖的解法是同一个，因为 pi-ai 受支持的运行时（`createModels()` / `createProvider()`）正是围绕「提供方是被*声明*出来的，而非查出来的」建立的。
+
+## Decision
+
+提供方路由是一份**声明**，已安装 catalog 是它的默认值。`resolveProfiles` 不再拿路由键去核对 `getBuiltinProviders()`，而是把每条路由解析成一份物化模型列表，外加服务它的 pi-ai `Provider`：
+
+- `catalog.ts` 把已安装 catalog 合并到 profile 自身条目之下。profile 的 `models` 列表*替换*该路由的 catalog（列表缺席或为空则原样服务），每个条目从同 `id` 的已安装模型继承自身未设置的字段。只有 harness 会消费的字段可配置——`id`、`name`、`contextWindow`、`maxTokens`、`reasoning`。定价与输入模态不出现在配置面，因为没有任何读取方：`replay.ts` 把 pi-ai 的成本元数据清零，`context.ts` 只保留文本块。思考级别拼写、OpenAI 兼容性怪癖与模型标头沿用已安装条目，因为在配置里重述它们无法被校验。
+- `provider.ts` 构造路由的 `Provider`。保持 catalog 协议不变的 catalog 路由会**复用**已安装提供方，只替换 `getModels()`；其余路由都由 `createProvider()` 基于一张协议表构造，表中条目正是 pi-ai 自己的提供方工厂所用的 `@earendil-works/pi-ai/api/*.lazy` factory。
+- `adapter.ts` 持有一个 `createModels()` 集合，在解析产出新的 profile 映射时重新同步，并由它服务 `listModels`、`resolveModel` 与 `stream`。模型已配置的 `maxTokens` 会成为 seam 的 `defaultMaxTokens`，因此未点名输出上限的请求现在会携带已配置的那一个。
+
+解析失败得响亮，并点名出问题的路由与模型：catalog 未描述的模型需要显式的 `contextWindow` 与 `maxTokens`；catalog 未提供的路由需要 `api`、`baseURL` 和非空的 `models` 列表。由于构造出的 `Provider` 是解析结果的一部分，协议或模型出错时最后可用的路由集合会继续服务——与此前坏的 settings 快照的行为完全一致。
+
+可配置提供方目录现在是已安装 catalog **与**当前 profile 声明的每条路由的并集，并在该集合变化时重新登记。没有这个并集，手工声明的路由就没有 settings 地址，任何配置界面都无法展示或编辑它。
+
+### 凭据留在 pi-ai 之外
+
+pi-ai 的 `Models` 自带一套凭据概念——按提供方 id 索引的 `CredentialStore`，配合 `envApiKeyAuth` 解析 `credential.key ?? env(VAR)`。采用它会在 `ctx.credentials` 之外制造第二个凭据事实源，更糟的是会把 harness 明确禁止的环境回落重新引进来：点名了却取不到的 `apiKeyEnv` 必须以 `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` 失败，而不是用环境里恰好持有的某个无关密钥完成认证。
+
+`ModelsImpl.applyAuth` 把 `options.apiKey` 视为优先级最高的 auth 覆盖，会整条短路掉解析。因此 harness 一如既往经自身 seam 解析路由密钥，并把结果作为请求的 `apiKey` 传入；该集合构造时不带任何凭据存储。catalog 路由复用已安装提供方的 `auth`，从而为不点名凭据的 profile 保住其提供方原生环境发现。手工声明的路由则获得一个 harness 自有的 `ApiKeyAuth`，它报告「已配置但无密钥」而非「未配置」，把该要求留给协议——那才是它真正所在的位置：pi-ai 的 OpenAI 兼容实现仍要求密钥或 `Authorization` 标头，并且会自己说出来。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **保留 `createProvider()` 但不建 `Models` 集合**，改由 `provider.streamSimple(model, ctx, {apiKey})` 发起。改动最小且凭据路径原封不动，但 `createProvider` 的 `auth` 是必填字段，这条路上它永远不会被调用——一份因签名而必填、却没有调用方的实现。它还让 `refreshModels` 需要手工构造 `RefreshModelsContext`，并使适配器始终不在 pi-ai 真正支持的运行时上。
+- **catalog 路由复用已安装提供方，只有声明式路由走 `createProvider()`**，且两者不共享解析。对 catalog 行为零风险，但 catalog 物化、端点覆盖与每模型配置这三件事都要各写两遍，而改指协议的 catalog 路由还得在解析中途跳到另一条路径。已采纳的拆法把不对称收敛在提供方构造这一处——那里的不对称是 pi-ai 不暴露已构造提供方的 API 实现所强加的。
+- **让每条路由都经 `createProvider()` 重建**，包括 catalog 路由。完全对称，但已构造的 `Provider` 不暴露自己的 `api`，于是协议表会成为「哪些提供方能用」的天花板——Bedrock 经独立入口加载其 Smithy 模块，会因此静默失效。
+- **完整暴露 pi-ai 的 `Model` 形状**（成本、输入模态、`thinkingLevelMap`、`compat`）。可配置性最大，但这些字段当前没有任何读取方，因此配了价格或模态什么也不会改变，却看起来像是受支持的。
+- **运行时动态 catalog**——`fetchModels` 加 `ModelsStore`，后台刷新。本次变更拒绝：它把模型列表变成需要缓存、失效与离线路径的外部可变状态，而产品需求是一次性的发现动作、其结果由用户采纳进 `settings.yaml`。该动作属于配置界面，与之一并暂缓；`settings.yaml` 始终是「路由服务什么」的唯一事实源。
+
+## Consequences
+
+配置一个提供方不再取决于 pi-ai 的发布节奏。网关、自建服务，或比锁定 catalog 更新的模型，都是一次 `settings.yaml` 编辑，过期的上下文窗口也能就地更正。废弃的 `/compat` 导入已经消失，因此 pi-ai 删除它不再是破坏性事件。`defaultMaxTokens` 现在自配置流出，堵上了「请求完全不带输出上限」的情形。
+
+代价是：声明式路由会让 `settings.yaml` 变长，因为 catalog 无法默认的模型必须自报容量。`api` 作用于整条路由，因此混合协议的 catalog 路由无法承载另一种协议的模型——把它拆成两个路由键是变通办法。没有任何环节查询提供方的 `/models`，因此模型列表的新鲜度只到最近一次编辑为止。有一种情形下报错形状发生变化：auth 解析不出任何值的路由，现在会在任何网络调用之前把 pi-ai 自己的诊断作为错误 `finish` 分片呈现，而此前的适配器会发出无密钥请求并呈现提供方的 401。
+
+## Testing
+
+`tests/catalog.spec.ts` 针对本地 mock 服务器端到端覆盖该契约：手工声明的路由带着自己的凭据流向自己的端点、它在可配置提供方目录中的出现、每模型覆盖从已安装 catalog 继承默认值、向 catalog 路由添加模型、带与不带端点覆盖的协议改指、catalog 独有元数据在覆盖后存活、无密钥姿态及其 `Authorization` 标头变通，以及每一种点名路由或模型的解析失败。`tests/sdk-options.spec.ts` 把 SDK 边界从已移除的 `/compat` 导入改指到协议表的 lazy api 模块，同时钉住「setup 失败以终止性错误分片而非抛出的形式抵达」。twin 的[设计验证角色](2026-06-13-twin-llm-adapters.md)不变。
