ImageBlock had no production producer and every consumer dropped it: the deepseek serializer skipped it, the pi-ai converter skipped it as unrepresentable, the ACP bridge neither advertises image prompt capability nor forwards image blocks, and compact-basic charged a flat 85-token estimate and rendered an [image] placeholder. A block constructed today would silently vanish from the wire — the vocabulary advertised a capability no path honors, the silent-data-loss shape the defensive patterns warn against. The only constructors were tests pinning the skip/estimate branches. Remove ImageBlock and its ContentBlockMap entry (its cache?: CacheHint field leaves with it; CacheHint itself and the other two cache? fields are out of scope). compact-basic loses its explicit image estimate and placeholder arms (the merge-extensible default arms absorb the case); the deepseek serializer, pi-ai converter, and ACP codec already handled image in their default arms, so only their image-naming comments change. The codec's inbound rejection of ACP-protocol image prompt content stays — that guards wire content a client can send regardless of our vocabulary. Tests that constructed harness image blocks to pin the removed branches are dropped (the 85-token estimate pin) or retargeted onto plugin-added block types / other non-text blocks, which the surviving default arms own. Docs, the type-equiv pastes, and the content-block vocabulary RFC's block list and multimodal-home consequence are updated in the same change; the RFC moves to implemented/ and the index is regenerated. A real multimodal feature reintroduces image via declaration merging together with the adapter mapping, ACP advertisement, and compaction pricing that honor it.
llm/ — LLM capability family
The LLM seam and its provider adapters. The interface package (llm) owns the abstract service, the content-block vocabulary, and the stream-chunk assembler; the adapters are concrete implementations that register on ctx.llm. All product packages.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
llm/ |
Abstract LLM service + content-block vocabulary + chunk assembler | ctx.llm |
llm-deepseek/ |
DeepSeek API adapter (hand-rolled fetch/SSE) | (registers on ctx.llm) |
llm-pi-ai/ |
DeepSeek adapter via @earendil-works/pi-ai (design twin) |
(registers on ctx.llm) |
The interface lives at llm/llm/; adapters are flat siblings under the group. A new provider adapter joins here and registers on ctx.llm without touching the interface. See twin LLM adapters for why two adapters exist.
