The Agent Note claimed the plugin inventory page already exposed every
mounted plugin's effective configuration to the same browser, so the
removed allowlist blocked nothing a caller could not already read. That
is false: PluginInventoryEntry carries entryId, moduleName, enabled, and
fiberPhase, and the page's configuration row renders an enabled tag, not
a stored value. The allowlist did keep an unlisted namespace's resolved,
base, and user values off the wire; the note now says so and rests the
decision on the loopback pin, secret redaction, the user's own document,
and the fact that permission and agent-presets were already served.
The post-await disposal check reads through an opaque method, mirroring
the settings seam's isStopped(): control flow narrowed the field to false
across the await, so the lint gate saw the guard as dead.
The per-file coverage gate flagged four uncovered locations the new
section directory introduced: refresh() after disposal, a read superseded
by a newer one, and the two invalidation handlers that make the served
namespaces re-read (settings/document-updated and connection/reset).
A plugin that registered a settings namespace could not reach the browser
configuration page: the api-proxy filtered every read and gated every
write through two hardcoded namespace lists, and the plugin configuration
section rendered an unordered list of cards carrying an opaque id rather
than the namespace they edit. Both gates lived in this repository, so a
user-authored plugin was configurable only by hand-editing settings.yaml.
The proxy now serves whatever ctx.settings.describe() returns and adds no
boundary of its own; a name no registration answers folds into the seam's
own settings-rejected, and the settings-not-exposed code retires. The
settings seam is untouched: which client may read a namespace, and which
page renders it, are facts about consumers.
settings.plugin.item becomes a keyed slot whose key is the namespace a
card edits, following tool.call.toolview. The section reads describe once
and dispatches the intersection of the slot ledger and the served set, so
a namespace another surface owns renders nothing without declaring
anything, and a card for an uncomposed plugin is never dispatched.
Keep both Remote contributions master and this branch add: the mount loop
now carries commandsRemote, goalsRemote, pluginInventoryRemote, and
messageFeedbackRemote, with both new tsconfig references retained.
The declared-provider-catalog note still recorded modalities as closed
because "nothing reads them: context.ts keeps only text blocks" — the
same reasoning this change disproves. Rewrite that fact in place, keep
pricing closed for its own still-current reason, and cross-link both
directions.
The new resolver cases never crossed the config schema, so neither
acceptance path this change adds had an executable gate: config.spec.ts
now refuses an unknown modality at both levels, pins the empty route
list to the namespace validator the settings seam actually runs, and
pins the `[]` materialization the inheritance rule depends on. A
catalog.spec.ts case re-asserts every rung through a written settings
section and `ctx.llm`, which is what the note's Testing section claimed.
Also export PiAiModality from the package entry — it types two public
config fields and consumers could not name it — record the unverified
declaration as a Known Limitation, and stop sharing one fallback array
across a route's models.
A model the installed pi-ai catalog does not describe was reported as
text-only with no way to say otherwise, so a vision model added through
the custom-provider form was refused at every image admission point.
The justification in the source described the DeepSeek chat-completions
serializer, which does reject image blocks; the pi-ai request converter
and every wire protocol it speaks carry images.
Modalities now resolve entry `input` -> installed catalog entry -> route
`defaultInput`, the chain the two capacity fallbacks already use, so the
route value is a fallback and never narrows a catalog model. Its default
stays `[text]`: nothing can interrogate a gateway for its modalities, and
over-claiming admits an image the provider rejects mid-turn, after prompt
admission has already committed the message.
