Invocation is an ordinary session.prompt again: the pre-step gesture
boundary makes it deterministic host-side for every front end, so the
dedicated RPC (handler, wire schema, error codes, client face, fixtures)
and ui-skill's claim machinery are net deletions. The menu keeps decision
21 exactly — a pick lands literal /name text — plus the user-only marker
from skill.list's modelInvocable flag.
A whitespace-bounded /name token anywhere in a claimed user message,
naming a user-invocable skill in the workspace directory, now injects that
skill's renderSkillContent as instructions context appended after every
other injection of the step — the same agent/pre-step seam the catalog,
workspace instructions, and the runtime snapshot ride. Closed-set matching
mirrors the command registry (a miss stays plain prose), only user-source
messages are scanned, the policy check runs on the loaded definition, and
this is the sole entry point for disable-model-invocation skills. The
catalog's no-reload sentence now names the gesture boundary.
The user-turn predicate (opensUserTurn) unifies the three parallel
consumers a new node kind silently missed — produced-files turn reset,
retry liveness, own-words force-scroll — so a skill invocation behaves as
the turn opener it is. The menu marker resolves through ctx.locale.bind
instead of a hand-rolled snapshot lookup; the dead legacy <skill> render
arm goes with the removal cut; command-over-skill name precedence is now
documented at the matchEnter seam; and the emptied replacement catalog
keeps the no-reload sentence, with the never-published residual recorded
in the Agent Note.
Review fixes: recheck isUserInvocable on the loaded definition (list and
get collect independently, so a provider change between them could swap in
a user-disabled body — the skill-tool execute template's second check);
thread the carrier signal through the lookup and refuse an abandoned
caller's turn as cancelled; fold lookup/loader failures into the
structured internal error the list face already uses; refuse cwd-less
sessions with the skill.list stance; and reject blank trailing text at the
wire schema instead of relying on client trimming.
Maintainer ruling on the review's merge-semantics warning: per-model
reasoning fields belong to the settings document, not cordis.yml entry
config (the shipped composition mounts the adapter dormant), so the
recursive-merge delete gap is a documented posture rather than a tracked
fix; the Known Limitations entry now states the assumption instead of
pointing at the closed#2003.
The duplication gate caught the two schema literals diverging only by
the id field; the shared dict is now the single home, with the id added
where it lives (the entry) and omitted where the dict key carries it.
Review findings on #1977, each verified before acting: the 2026-08-03
declared-provider-catalog note is updated in place and cross-linked both
ways now that reasoningEfforts/compat reopened half of its rejected
alternative; resolveModelCompat inherits the catalog entry's compat only
while the resolved api still is the entry's own, so a route-level api
repoint no longer merges another protocol's shape as a completions base;
the off-with-value promise gains a request-boundary test proving pi-ai
reads thinkingLevelMap.off when the reasoning option is absent (and the
catalog-level test name stops overclaiming); the cannot-stop-thinking
wording narrows to what is actually enforced (no Off offered, explicit
Off refused — an effortless request goes out bare); the z.const(null)
comment attributes null passthrough to schemastery's nullable
short-circuit; the baseten drift-gate claim names its verification
source; and the layered-merge delete gap for dict keys is documented
under Known Limitations with the atomic-leaf follow-up in #2003.
Bilingual README updates for the four touched packages (ui-skill's claim
flow and deterministic-injection model experience, the apiproxy skills
domain, the shared renderSkillContent seam export, the catalog stitch
sentence), the implemented Agent Note triplet recording the decision and
its peer-product evidence, and the regenerated catalogs/graphs.
turnAgentFor owns the addressed-agent resolution and the model-unavailable
refusal both turn-starting methods repeat; the duplication gate flagged the
copied block.
The policy scenario now expects the user-only quadrant in the menu with
its marker (riding the description — the hint field is claim-state ghost
text, which the menu never renders), and a new skill-user-invoke scenario
drives /name args through the composer against the real host: the claim
lands skill.invoke, the transcript shows the dedicated card with the
collapsed <skill_content> body, and a paced replay answers the injected
turn deterministically.
