Three defects surfaced while driving the Models page. A hand-declared model needed an explicit contextWindow and maxTokens, but a provider listing usually returns ids and nothing else — so the page happily wrote a profile the adapter then rejected, which took the whole namespace down silently. Capacities now fall back to the route's `defaultContextWindow` (262,144) and `defaultMaxTokens` (32,768). Both are guesses by construction, which is why they are route fields a deployment corrects once rather than constants buried in the adapter; the fallback sizes the model and never becomes a per-request cap. That silent failure was the second defect. A schema-valid profile the adapter could not serve was stored and only rejected later, disabling every route in the namespace with nothing said. `dsh-settings` gains an optional `validate` on registration — a check for what a schema cannot express — and `llm-pi-ai` refuses an unserviceable section at the write that produced it. A stored section that fails keeps the namespace's last good value, as a schema failure already did, so an externally edited document still cannot strand the owner. The plugin's own last-good fallback goes with it: nothing reaching it can fail any more. Third, a model with no reasoning metadata advertised the single level `off`, which pi-ai translates to *omitting* the reasoning option — the same request naming no effort produces. Selecting it disabled nothing, so a provider whose default is to think kept thinking with `off` shown as selected. Such a model now reports no reasoning capability at all, which is the seam's way of saying the control is unavailable, and the per-model `reasoning` flag is gone: without a thinkingLevelMap to spell levels it could only invent them. The protocol table narrows to the three a hand-declared route reaches today, most-reached first so a surface offering a choice defaults to the one gateways actually speak.
llm/ — LLM capability family
English | 中文
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/ |
LLM service and shared streaming vocabulary | ctx.llm |
token-meter/ |
Replay-aware token measurement | ctx.tokenMeter |
llm-retry/ |
Provider-scoped retry policy | listens to agent/request-error |
llm-deepseek/ |
Direct DeepSeek adapter | registers on ctx.llm |
llm-pi-ai/ |
Multi-provider pi-ai adapter | registers on ctx.llm |
Adapters register provider routes on the seam; retry and token measurement remain separate consumers. The child READMEs own routing, metadata, replay, and provider-wire details; the LLM architecture decisions own the rationale.
