Both provider READMEs state what actually holds: credentials-local now
documents the physical-line editor, the read-modify-write under the
writer lock, and a Security boundary section saying plainly that the file
mode stops other OS users and not the model. sandbox-policy documents
readDenyPaths and its per-backend enforcement. The llm READMEs carry the
registration handle, pi-ai's credential-miss semantics, and DeepSeek's
same-generation snapshot; app-boot and the CLI README stop describing
$DSH_HOME/.env as an environment layer.
A new Agent Note records the round (and the prior seam note cross-links
it); the sandbox and core catalog pages gain readDenyPaths and
AdapterRegistrationHandle with their manifest entries. The headless
missing-credential snapshot re-records for the reworded guidance, pi-ai
gains the Loader-composition guard its twin already had, and the
deliberate provider symmetry is marked for the clone detector.
llm-deepseek gains a Loader+Include composition spec proving external
settings.yaml/.env edits reach the very next request, and a real-API e2e
where only a credentials-local document holds the key. The headless example
pins the first-run missing-credential UX as a keyless stream-json snapshot
(new credentials.cordis.snapshot.yml scenario); runLoaderSmoke learns
expectedExitCode so a designed failure surface can be pinned instead of
masked.
