 # Changelog
 
+## 3.18.3 - 2026-08-17
+
+- **dsh: a `(modlens vision)` route now inherits the retry policy its upstream already had ([#57](https://github.com/liustack/modlens/issues/57)).** A user set `maxRetries: 50` on their route and watched the vision group give up after 2, the harness default. The wrapper registers an adapter of its own, and the method dsh reads that policy from was returning nothing, which asks for the default on a synthetic route that ultimately calls the real one. It delegates now.
+  This was the second time the wrapper had been found dropping something the upstream had, after [#49](https://github.com/liustack/modlens/issues/49) and its reasoning state, and both were reported by users rather than found here. So the fix went through every method the host calls on an adapter instead of the one that got reported, and four more came out of that. dsh captures a route's display name and retry policy when it registers, so editing your config mid-session left the wrapper on the old values; the wrappers refresh now. A revoked upstream left its wrapper behind as a route to nowhere. The duplicate-registration check matched any error containing the word "already", which is wider than the one error it was meant to catch. And a wrapper overwrote the upstream's declared input modalities instead of adding to them.
+  One deliberate behaviour change: when the upstream cannot list its models, that failure now travels instead of becoming an empty catalogue. dsh files it per provider and the model selector shows a load warning with a retry, which is both survivable and more honest than a route that appears to have no models. Thanks to @ZzAltMan, whose report came with the session log showing the wrapper's own retry event, which is what made the cause unambiguous.
+- **A wrapped route is named after the route it wraps.** Pointing the single-route configuration at anything other than DeepSeek still produced a model group labelled DeepSeek, and the refresh added above could never correct it, because the name it compared against was a constant.
+- **A route that turns out to read images itself explains itself.** The wrapper declines to bridge a model with native image input, which is right: bridging would claim work it does not do and hand the model text where it could have had the picture. But the refusal named an internal scope and offered no way out, while a session already holding that entry fails every turn. It now says what changed and which entry to pick instead, and only in that case; a model that has simply left the configured families is a different situation and keeps its own message.

 ## 3.18.2 - 2026-08-17
 
 - **dsh: the settings card no longer sets off Safari's password manager ([#56](https://github.com/liustack/modlens/issues/56)).** Safari's iCloud Keychain offers to enable autofill for any site carrying a password input, then shows its bubble whenever that field is focused. Here it did so for a field that is always empty: API keys live in `~/.modlens/config.json` and the host route reports only whether one is stored, never the key itself. `autocomplete="off"` cannot turn it off either, because WebKit ignores it on password fields on purpose. The field is masked with `-webkit-text-security` now, which hides the characters without ever being a password field, and it keeps a key meant for one machine out of a synced keychain. Where a browser lacks that property the field stays a password input: the nuisance is worth more than an API key rendered in clear text while somebody types it.

Updating is the same command again. The version is named rather than `@latest` on purpose: pnpm 11 holds back releases published in the last 24 hours and resolves the tag against what survives, so `@latest` would install whatever shipped a day ago ([details](docs/harness-setup.md#keeping-it-up-to-date)).

 Pasting an image works two ways. **① Just paste.** On a text-only model the pasted image lands as a private temp file and its path enters the composer — the same interaction OpenCode and Pi ship — and the `modlens_read_image` tool takes it from there. **② Pick a `(modlens vision)` entry** in the model selector (it remembers your choice, so once is enough), then paste: the thumbnail stays visible in your message, closer to the Codex app feel, and the image is converted to structured evidence at request time, answered by the same underlying route. The plugin auto-discovers every provider route carrying text-only DeepSeek or GLM models and adds a wrapped entry per route (a stock install gets **`DeepSeek-V4-Flash (modlens vision)`** and **`DeepSeek-V4-Pro (modlens vision)`**; extra routes like opencode-go or zai get their own); the two families' own vision models are excluded automatically. Which paste route applies is the host's per-model call: only a model its metadata positively confirms text-only is taken over, anything unconfirmed is left alone, so vision models keep their native paste ([details](docs/harness-setup.md)).
