The /client entry of a UI plugin exports no values beyond what cordis
loading needs; the theme constants block returns to type-only re-exports,
the per-namespace schemas move into the shared *-settings modules instead
of widening the host entries, and same-package specs import those internals
directly per the export discipline in packages/client/AGENTS.md.
bindSettingsScope mirrors the Host-side settings owner seam in the browser:
one scope per namespace publishes a snapshot store (status, section value,
revision, writability, host/memory mode), validates sections against the
namespace's serialized wire schema via dsh-client-schema-form, and keeps the
controller's listener-before-read, revisioned serialized writes, latest-wins
publication, conflict recovery, and disposal quiescence. Theme, locale, and
busy-Enter services now take the scope as a constructor collaborator, which
removes the bindPersistence/syncPreference two-phase callback pair and the
defaulted no-op persist writers; hand-written wire guards fall away in favor
of the registered schema. test-runtime gains a stubSettingsScope double.
Adapter schemas now carry only credential references, but the Models join, onboarding readiness, shipped overlays, SDK scaffolding, fixtures, and active decision prose still treated a redacted literal apiKey as a supported compatibility state. That residue made an unsupported field look contractual and pinned Schemastery silent-dropping as behavior.
Delete those branches and examples, and let compositions and scaffolds use adapter-owned reference and environment resolution. Do not add a tombstone validator or change generic unknown-key behavior: literal adapter credentials have no migration contract to preserve.
Code already treats $DSH_HOME/.env as ordinary launch environment and stores managed credentials in .credentials.yaml, but public docs still described the old store, old precedence, removed literal adapter keys, and the deleted TUI. That directed users to the wrong file and overstated the supported configuration surface.
Update the existing English and Chinese owners in place, document inherited > managed > project > user credential resolution, and record the loadLayeredEnv export. Regenerate only pairing records and the source-line catalog; add no new section or site route.
