 	"keybindings.md": "# Keybindings\n\nRun `/hotkeys` inside an `skc` session to see the active chords for your current build. The list reflects any remaps loaded from disk and any bindings added by extensions.\n\n## Customize keybindings\n\nUser remaps live in `~/.skc/agent/keybindings.json`. The file is a JSON object whose keys are keybinding action IDs and whose values are either one chord string or an array of chord strings. It is not read from `~/.skc/agent/config.yml`, and there is no nested `keybindings` object.\n\n```json\n{\n  \"app.commandPalette.open\": \"ctrl+p\",\n  \"app.model.cycleForward\": \"alt+n\",\n  \"app.model.selectTemporary\": \"alt+p\",\n  \"app.plan.toggle\": \"alt+shift+p\"\n}\n```\n\nChord names are case-insensitive. New configuration should use canonical textual IDs rather than matching the labels shown in the UI.\nConfiguration uses portable canonical key IDs, not the labels printed by a particular host: use `ctrl`, `alt`, `shift`, and `super` with a key name, for example `ctrl+p`, `alt+enter`, `shift+tab`, and `super+c`. Matching is case-insensitive, but new configuration should use this canonical textual form so the same file remains portable.\n\nRuntime UI labels are platform-native. On macOS, `Ctrl`, `Alt`, `Shift`, and `Super` display as `⌃`, `⌥`, `⇧`, and `⌘`; MacBook keycaps such as Return, Escape, Tab, Delete, and the arrow keys display as `↩`, `⎋`, `⇥`, `⌫`/`⌦`, and arrows. These glyphs are display labels only: configure `super+c`, not `⌘C`, and `alt+enter`, not `⌥↩`.\nOn macOS, Option shortcuts work only when the terminal sends Option as Meta/Esc or uses an enhanced keyboard protocol that reports the modifier. Command/Super is usually handled by the terminal or operating system and does not reach SKC. Windows Alt and macOS Option both use the canonical `alt` ID in configuration. Text produced by an Option key as composed Unicode cannot be reverse-inferred as an Option chord.\n\nFor terminals that do not forward Option, remap the queue actions to canonical Control chords (choose unclaimed chords appropriate for your terminal), for example:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"app.message.queue\": \"ctrl+q\",\n  \"app.message.dequeue\": [\"ctrl+pageup\", \"ctrl+pagedown\"]\n}\n```\nStatic onboarding and generated reference material describe shipped defaults and must stay host-independent. The active runtime surface is authoritative for effective bindings after user remaps and extensions load: use `/hotkeys` to see those bindings on the current platform.\n\nSet an action to an empty array to disable it:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"app.stt.toggle\": []\n}\n```\n\n## Common action IDs\n\n| Action ID | Default | Meaning |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `app.commandPalette.open` | `ctrl+p` | Open the command palette |\n| `app.model.cycleForward` | `alt+n` | Cycle role models forward |\n| `app.model.cycleBackward` | `alt+shift+n` | Cycle role models backward |\n| `app.model.selectTemporary` | `alt+p` | Pick a model temporarily for this session |\n| `app.model.select` | `ctrl+l` | Open the model selector and set roles |\n| `app.plan.toggle` | `alt+shift+p` | Toggle plan mode |\n| `app.history.search` | `ctrl+r` | Search prompt history |\n| `app.tools.expand` | `ctrl+o` | Toggle tool-output expansion |\n| `app.thinking.toggle` | `ctrl+t` | Toggle thinking-block visibility |\n| `app.thinking.cycle` | `shift+tab` | Cycle thinking level |\n| `app.editor.external` | `ctrl+g` | Edit the draft in `$VISUAL` / `$EDITOR` |\n| `app.message.followUp` | _(none)_ | Optional remap for a follow-up message; `ctrl+enter` is reserved for editor newline |\n| `app.message.queue` | `alt+enter` (`alt+q` on darwin/win32) | Explicitly queue a message for the next turn |\n| `app.message.dequeue` | `alt+up`, `alt+down` | Open the queue and select a queued message to edit |\n\n| `app.clipboard.copyLine` | `alt+shift+l` | Copy the current line |\n| `app.clipboard.copyPrompt` | `alt+shift+c` | Copy the whole prompt |\n| `app.stt.toggle` | `alt+h` | Toggle speech-to-text recording |\n| `app.irc.sidebar.toggle` | `alt+i` | Toggle IRC sidebar |\n\nOlder unqualified action names are migrated when `keybindings.json` is loaded, but new docs and new configs should use the namespaced action IDs above.\n\nOn macOS, Option+Q queues a message for the next turn; on native Windows terminals, the equivalent default is Alt+Q. Windows Terminal and PowerShell commonly reserve Alt+Enter for fullscreen before SKC can receive it. Users who prefer another chord can remap `app.message.queue` in `~/.skc/agent/keybindings.json`.\n\nWhen messages are queued, use Option+Up/Down on macOS (Alt+Up/Down on Windows) to open the queue and select a message. In the queue, Return edits the selected message, Forward Delete (`⌦`; Fn+Delete on compact Mac keyboards) removes it, Control+Up/Down reorders it within its delivery group, and Escape closes the queue. Reordering does not convert compaction, steer, and follow-up messages into one another.\n\nIn the main SKC composer, plain `PageUp` / `PageDown` page the visible transcript lane instead of browsing prompt history; the status line and composer remain fixed at the bottom while manually scrolled. When SKC owns mouse input (`mouse.enabled: true`), the wheel moves the transcript by three rows per notch. Ordinary typing or paste keeps editor focus and returns to live output before editing; use `Up` / `Down` or `Ctrl+R` for prompt history. Autocomplete and selector surfaces still use `PageUp` / `PageDown` for list paging while they have focus.\n\n## Auditing default-key collisions\n\nSome default chords are intentionally reused across different UI contexts, where the focused component disambiguates them at dispatch time. For example `Enter` maps to both input submit and selection confirm, and `Ctrl+C` maps to both input copy and selection cancel. These are not conflicts — only one context is active at a time.\n\nTo audit the registry for keys whose default binding is claimed by more than one action, use `detectDefaultKeyCollisions(definitions)` from `@sayknow-cli/tui/keybindings`. It returns one entry per colliding key with the list of claiming action IDs, which is useful when adding new defaults or reviewing the surface. User-remap conflicts (multiple actions bound to the same chord in `keybindings.json`) continue to be reported separately by `KeybindingsManager.getConflicts()`.\n\nTwo audit clarifications for the current surface:\n\n- `app.clipboard.copyLine` is registry-backed and dispatched through the input controller's custom key handlers, not hardcoded.\n- `tui.input.copy` is declared in the registry but is not currently dispatched by `Editor.handleInput`.\n\nThe editor's configurable action defaults (including the platform-aware `app.clipboard.pasteImage` default) are derived directly from the central `KEYBINDINGS` registry, so there is a single source of truth for those defaults.\n\n## Current surface audit\n\nAuthoritative inventory of the keybinding registry, one row per action. Generated from `TUI_KEYBINDINGS` (`packages/tui/src/keybindings.ts`) and `KEYBINDINGS` (`packages/coding-agent/src/config/keybindings.ts`). Every action ID below is remappable via `~/.skc/agent/keybindings.json` unless noted. A drift test (`packages/coding-agent/test/keybindings-audit.test.ts`) asserts every registry action ID appears in this table.\n\n### Editor context (`tui.editor.*`)\n\n| Action ID | Default | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `tui.editor.cursorUp` | `up` | |\n| `tui.editor.cursorDown` | `down` | |\n| `tui.editor.cursorLeft` | `left`, `ctrl+b` | `ctrl+b` also `app.tool.backgroundFold` (other context) |\n| `tui.editor.cursorRight` | `right`, `ctrl+f` | |\n| `tui.editor.cursorWordLeft` | `alt+left`, `ctrl+left`, `alt+b` | `ctrl+left` also `app.tree.foldOrUp` |\n| `tui.editor.cursorWordRight` | `alt+right`, `ctrl+right`, `alt+f` | `ctrl+right` also `app.tree.unfoldOrDown` |\n| `tui.editor.cursorLineStart` | `home`, `ctrl+a` | |\n| `tui.editor.cursorLineEnd` | `end`, `ctrl+e` | |\n| `tui.editor.jumpForward` | `ctrl+]` | |\n| `tui.editor.jumpBackward` | `ctrl+alt+]` | |\n| `tui.editor.pageUp` | `pageUp` | |\n| `tui.editor.pageDown` | `pageDown` | |\n| `tui.editor.deleteCharBackward` | `backspace` | |\n| `tui.editor.deleteCharForward` | `delete`, `ctrl+d` | `ctrl+d` also `app.exit` / `app.session.delete` |\n| `tui.editor.deleteWordBackward` | `ctrl+w`, `alt+backspace`, `ctrl+backspace` | |\n| `tui.editor.deleteWordForward` | `alt+delete`, `alt+d` | |\n| `tui.editor.deleteToLineStart` | `ctrl+u` | |\n| `tui.editor.deleteToLineEnd` | `ctrl+k` | |\n| `tui.editor.yank` | `ctrl+y` | |\n| `tui.editor.yankPop` | `alt+y` | |\n| `tui.editor.undo` | `ctrl+-`, `ctrl+_` | |\n\n### Input context (`tui.input.*`)\n\n| Action ID | Default | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `tui.input.newLine` | `Shift+Enter` | `Ctrl+Enter` and `Ctrl+Shift+Enter` are also accepted by the editor when the terminal encodes them distinctly |\n\n| `tui.input.submit` | `enter` | also `tui.select.confirm` (other context) |\n| `tui.input.tab` | `tab` | |\n| `tui.input.copy` | `ctrl+c` | declared but not dispatched by `Editor.handleInput` |\n\n### Selection context (`tui.select.*`)\n\n| Action ID | Default | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `tui.select.up` | `up` | |\n| `tui.select.down` | `down` | |\n| `tui.select.pageUp` | `pageUp` | |\n| `tui.select.pageDown` | `pageDown` | |\n| `tui.select.confirm` | `enter` | |\n| `tui.select.cancel` | `escape`, `ctrl+c` | `escape` also `app.interrupt` |\n\n### Application context (`app.*`)\n\n| Action ID | Default | Domains |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `app.interrupt` | escape | global |\n| `app.clear` | ctrl+c | global |\n| `app.exit` | ctrl+d | global |\n| `app.suspend` | ctrl+z | global |\n| `app.thinking.cycle` | shift+tab | composer |\n| `app.thinking.toggle` | ctrl+t | composer |\n| `app.commandPalette.open` | ctrl+p | composer |\n| `app.model.cycleForward` | alt+n | composer |\n| `app.model.cycleBackward` | alt+shift+n | composer |\n| `app.model.select` | ctrl+l | composer |\n| `app.model.selectTemporary` | alt+p | composer |\n| `app.tools.expand` | ctrl+o | composer |\n| `app.todo.toggle` | alt+shift+t | composer |\n| `app.tool.backgroundFold` | ctrl+b | composer |\n| `app.editor.external` | ctrl+g | composer |\n| `app.message.followUp` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.message.queue` | alt+q (darwin/win32) / alt+enter (linux) | composer |\n| `app.message.dequeue` | alt+up, alt+down | composer |\n| `app.clipboard.pasteImage` | ctrl+v (darwin/linux) / alt+v (win32) | composer |\n| `app.clipboard.copyLine` | alt+shift+l | composer |\n| `app.clipboard.copyPrompt` | alt+shift+c | composer |\n| `app.oauth.copyUrl` | alt+shift+u | composer |\n| `app.session.new` | ctrl+n | composer |\n| `app.session.tree` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.session.fork` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.session.resume` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.session.observe` | ctrl+s | composer |\n| `app.session.dashboard` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.jobs.open` | alt+j | composer |\n| `app.session.togglePath` | ctrl+p | selector |\n| `app.session.toggleSort` | ctrl+s | selector |\n| `app.session.rename` | ctrl+r | selector |\n| `app.session.delete` | ctrl+d | selector |\n| `app.session.deleteNoninvasive` | ctrl+backspace | selector |\n| `app.tree.foldOrUp` | ctrl+left, alt+left | selector |\n| `app.tree.unfoldOrDown` | ctrl+right, alt+right | selector |\n| `app.plan.toggle` | alt+shift+p | composer |\n| `app.history.search` | ctrl+r | composer |\n| `app.stt.toggle` | alt+h | composer |\n| `app.irc.sidebar.toggle` | alt+i | composer |\n| `app.transcript.browse` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.transcript.prevTurn` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.transcript.nextTurn` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.mode.cycle` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.tasks.toggle` | alt+t | composer |\n| `app.queue.togglePane` | _(none)_ | composer |\n| `app.message.sendNow` | _(none)_ | composer |\n\n### Global engine context (`tui.global.*`)\n\n| Action ID | Default | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `tui.global.debug` | `shift+ctrl+d` | Toggle debug overlay;

 	"lsp-config.md": "# LSP configuration in SKC\n\nThis guide explains how to configure language servers for the SKC coding agent.\n\nSource of truth in code:\n\n- Server config type: `packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/types.ts` (`ServerConfig`)\n- Config loader: `packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/config.ts`\n- Built-in server definitions: `packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/defaults.json`\n\n## Auto-detection\n\nWhen no LSP config file is present, SKC auto-detects servers by intersecting two conditions:\n\n1. The project directory contains at least one of the server's `rootMarkers`.\n2. The server binary is a trusted external executable. Project-local binaries, including paths reached through symlinks, are rejected.\n\nNo configuration is required for common setups. The built-in server list covers most popular languages; see [`defaults.json`](../packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/defaults.json) for the full set.\n\n## Config file locations\n\nSKC merges LSP config from multiple files, lowest to highest priority:\n\n| Priority | Location |\n|----------|----------|\n| 5 (lowest) | `~/lsp.json`, `~/.lsp.json`, `~/lsp.yaml`, `~/.lsp.yaml` |\n| 4 | Preloaded trusted external plugin LSP config outside the project (internal loader support; no current CLI/startup producer) |\n| 3 | `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`, `~/.skc/agent/lsp.yaml`, `~/.gemini/lsp.*` |\n| 2 | `<project>/.skc/lsp.json`, `<project>/.skc/lsp.yaml`, `<project>/.gemini/lsp.*` |\n| 1 (highest) | `<project>/lsp.json`, `<project>/.lsp.json`, `<project>/lsp.yaml` |\n\nEach location accepts both `.json` and `.yaml` / `.yml` variants, as well as hidden-file versions (`.lsp.json`, `.lsp.yaml`). Configuration is merged in order, but project-controlled files can only control declarative server matching, activation, and capabilities. They cannot define or override a server's `command`, `args`, executable, client factory, `initOptions` / `initializationOptions`, or `settings`; opaque options that can instruct a trusted server belong to trusted user configuration.\n\nThe recommended trusted user configuration is `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json` (or YAML equivalent). Legacy user-wide `~/.gemini/lsp.*` and home-root `~/lsp.*` / `~/.lsp.*` files are also outside the project and may define launch settings and opaque server options, including custom servers. Project files may refine declarative matching and activation fields of built-in or user-defined servers.\n\n**Recommended locations:**\n\n- Trusted user launch settings, `initOptions`, and `settings` → `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`\n- Project-specific matching and activation → `<project>/.skc/lsp.json`\n\n> **Note:** The presence of any LSP config file disables auto-detection. When at least one file is found, SKC skips the binary-scan phase and loads matching, available, non-disabled servers using trusted launch definitions.\n\n## File shape\n\nBoth JSON and YAML are accepted. The top-level object can use either a `servers` wrapper key or a flat map directly:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"servers\": {\n    \"server-name\": { ... }\n  },\n  \"idleTimeoutMs\": 300000\n}\n```\n\nor (flat, without the `servers` wrapper):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"server-name\": { ... },\n  \"idleTimeoutMs\": 300000\n}\n```\n\nTop-level keys:\n\n- `servers` — map of server name to `ServerConfig` (optional wrapper; flat form is equivalent)\n- `idleTimeoutMs` — shut down idle language servers after this many milliseconds; disabled by default\n\n## ServerConfig fields\n\n| Field | Type | Required | Description |\n|-------|------|----------|-------------|\n| `command` | `string` | trusted user config only | Server executable name or absolute path; project configuration cannot set or override it |\n| `args` | `string[]` | no | Launch arguments; trusted user config only |\n| `fileTypes` | `string[]` | yes | File extensions this server handles, e.g. `[\".ts\", \".tsx\"]` |\n| `rootMarkers` | `string[]` | yes | Files/dirs that indicate a project root; glob patterns (e.g. `*.cabal`) are supported |\n| `initOptions` | `object` | trusted user config only | Sent as `initializationOptions` during LSP handshake |\n| `settings` | `object` | trusted user config only | Workspace settings pushed via `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` |\n| `disabled` | `boolean` | no | Set to `true` to disable this server entirely |\n| `warmupTimeoutMs` | `number` | no | Startup timeout in ms for this server (overrides the global default) |\n| `isLinter` | `boolean` | no | Mark server as linter/formatter only; excluded from type-intelligence operations (hover, go-to-definition, etc.) |\n| `capabilities` | `object` | no | Opt-in server-specific features; see [Capabilities](#capabilities) |\n\n`resolvedCommand` is populated automatically at runtime — do not set it manually.\n\n### Capabilities\n\nThe `capabilities` object enables optional server-specific features that SKC supports on a per-server basis:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"capabilities\": {\n    \"flycheck\": true,\n    \"ssr\": true,\n    \"expandMacro\": true,\n    \"runnables\": true,\n    \"relatedTests\": true\n  }\n}\n```\n\nAll fields are boolean and optional. They are currently used by `rust-analyzer`.\n\n## Common recipes\n\n### Override a built-in server's settings from trusted user configuration\n\nOpaque server settings may contain process-affecting instructions, so place these partial overrides in trusted user configuration such as `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"servers\": {\n    \"typescript-language-server\": {\n      \"settings\": {\n        \"typescript\": {\n          \"preferences\": {\n            \"quoteStyle\": \"single\"\n          }\n        }\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n  gopls:\n    settings:\n      gopls:\n        gofumpt: false\n        staticcheck: false\n```\n\n### Disable a built-in server\n\n```json\n{\n  \"servers\": {\n    \"eslint\": {\n      \"disabled\": true\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Register a custom server\n\nRegister custom servers in the canonical trusted user configuration, `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`. New servers require `command`, `fileTypes`, and `rootMarkers`; `args` is optional. Project configuration cannot register a launch definition or override a server's command, arguments, executable, or client factory.\n\n```json\n{\n  \"servers\": {\n    \"my-lsp\": {\n      \"command\": \"my-lsp-server\",\n      \"args\": [\"--stdio\"],\n      \"fileTypes\": [\".xyz\"],\n      \"rootMarkers\": [\".xyz-project\", \".git\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Set a global idle timeout\n\nShut down language servers that have been inactive for more than five minutes:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"idleTimeoutMs\": 300000\n}\n```\n\n### Disable a server for one project, keep it globally\n\nPlace the override in `<project>/.skc/lsp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"servers\": {\n    \"pylsp\": {\n      \"disabled\": true\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe user-level config in `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json` is unaffected; pylsp is only suppressed in this project.\n\nWhen multiple built-in primary servers support the same file, a default server can list lower-precedence servers in `supersedes`. For example, `csharp-ls` supersedes `omnisharp` only when both C# servers are installed and detected; if `csharp-ls` is unavailable, `omnisharp` remains the fallback.\n\n## lspmux\n\n`SKC_DISABLE_LSPMUX=1` is the canonical opt-out. `PI_DISABLE_LSPMUX=1` is a supported compatibility alias. A truthy value for either variable disables lspmux probing and wrapping.\n\n## Built-in server list\n\nThe following servers ship in `defaults.json` and are eligible for auto-detection:\n\n| Server key | Language(s) | Binary |\n|---|---|---|\n| `rust-analyzer` | Rust | `rust-analyzer` |\n| `clangd` | C, C++, ObjC | `clangd` |\n| `zls` | Zig | `zls` |\n| `gopls` | Go | `gopls` |\n| `typescript-language-server` | TypeScript, JavaScript | `typescript-language-server` |\n| `denols` | TypeScript, JavaScript (Deno) | `deno` |\n| `biome` | TS/JS/JSON (linter) | `biome` |\n| `eslint` | TS/JS/Vue/Svelte (linter) | `vscode-eslint-language-server` |\n| `vscode-html-language-server` | HTML | `vscode-html-language-server` |\n| `vscode-css-language-server` | CSS, SCSS, Less | `vscode-css-language-server` |\n| `vscode-json-language-server` | JSON | `vscode-json-language-server` |\n| `tailwindcss` | HTML, CSS, TS/JS | `tailwindcss-language-server` |\n| `svelte` | Svelte | `svelteserver` |\n| `vue-language-server` | Vue | `vue-language-server` |\n| `astro` | Astro | `astro-ls` |\n| `pyright` | Python | `pyright-langserver` |\n| `basedpyright` | Python | `basedpyright-langserver` |\n| `pylsp` | Python | `pylsp` |\n| `ruff` | Python (linter) | `ruff` |\n| `jdtls` | Java | `jdtls` |\n| `kotlin-lsp` | Kotlin | `kotlin-lsp` |\n| `metals` | Scala | `metals` |\n| `hls` | Haskell | `haskell-language-server-wrapper` |\n| `ocamllsp` | OCaml | `ocamllsp` |\n| `elixirls` | Elixir | `elixir-ls` |\n| `erlangls` | Erlang | `erlang_ls` |\n| `gleam` | Gleam | `gleam` |\n| `solargraph` | Ruby | `solargraph` |\n| `ruby-lsp` | Ruby | `ruby-lsp` |\n| `rubocop` | Ruby (linter) | `rubocop` |\n| `bashls` | Bash, Zsh | `bash-language-server` |\n| `lua-language-server` | Lua | `lua-language-server` |\n| `intelephense` | PHP | `intelephense` |\n| `phpactor` | PHP | `phpactor` |\n| `csharp-ls` | C# | `csharp-ls` |\n| `omnisharp` | C# | `omnisharp` |\n| `yamlls` | YAML | `yaml-language-server` |\n| `terraformls` | Terraform | `terraform-ls` |\n| `dockerls` | Dockerfile | `docker-langserver` |\n| `helm-ls` | Helm | `helm_ls` |\n| `nixd` | Nix | `nixd` |\n| `nil` | Nix | `nil` |\n| `ols` | Odin | `ols` |\n| `dartls` | Dart | `dart` |\n| `marksman` | Markdown | `marksman` |\n| `texlab` | LaTeX | `texlab` |\n| `graphql` | GraphQL | `graphql-lsp` |\n| `prismals` | Prisma | `prisma-language-server` |\n| `vimls` | Vim script | `vim-language-server` |\n| `emmet-language-server` | HTML, CSS, JSX | `emmet-language-server` |\n| `sourcekit-lsp` | Swift | `sourcekit-lsp` |\n| `swiftlint` | Swift (linter) | `swiftlint` |\n| `tlaplus` | TLA+ | `tlapm_lsp` |\n",
 	"memory.md": "# Autonomous Memory\n\nWhen enabled, the agent automatically extracts durable knowledge from past sessions and injects a compact summary into each new session. Over time it builds a project-scoped memory store — technical decisions, recurring workflows, pitfalls — that carries forward without manual effort.\n\nDisabled by default. Enable via `/settings` or `config.yml`:\n\n```yaml\nmemories:\n  enabled: true\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### What gets injected\n\nAt session start, if a memory summary exists for the current project, it is injected into the system prompt as a **Memory Guidance** block. The agent is instructed to:\n\n- Treat memory as heuristic context — useful for process and prior decisions, not authoritative on current repo state.\n- Pair memory-influenced decisions with current-repo evidence before acting.\n- Prefer repo state and user instruction when they conflict with memory; treat conflicting memory as stale.\n\n### Memory artifacts\n\nGenerated local-memory artifacts are private runtime state, not a public tool or URI surface. They may be summarized into the system prompt when local memory is enabled, but users and model-facing tool docs should not rely on direct `memory://` reads. The legacy internal `memory://` resolver remains only for compatibility with existing persisted guidance and is not part of the public coding harness contract; remove it after legacy local-memory prompts no longer reference it.\n### `/memory` slash command\n\n| Subcommand            | Effect                                         |\n| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |\n| `view`                | Show the current memory injection payload      |\n| `clear` / `reset`     | Delete all memory data and generated artifacts |\n| `enqueue` / `rebuild` | Force consolidation to run at next startup     |\n\n## How it works\n\nMemories are built by a background pipeline that runs at startup or when manually triggered via slash command.\n\n**Phase 1 — per-session extraction:** For each past session that has changed since it was last processed, a model reads the session history and extracts durable signal: technical decisions, constraints, resolved failures, recurring workflows. Sessions that are too recent, too old, or currently active are skipped. Each extraction produces a raw memory block and a short synopsis for that session.\n\n**Phase 2 — consolidation:** After extraction, a second model pass reads all per-session extractions and produces three outputs written to disk:\n\n- `MEMORY.md` — a curated long-term memory document\n- `memory_summary.md` — the compact text injected at session start\n- `skills/` — reusable procedural playbooks, each in its own subdirectory\n\nPhase 2 uses a lease to prevent double-running when multiple processes start simultaneously. Stale skill directories from prior runs are pruned automatically.\n\nAll output is scanned for secrets before being written to disk.\n\n### Extraction behavior\n\nMemory extraction and consolidation behavior is driven by static prompt files in `packages/coding-agent/src/prompts/memories/`.\n\n| File                  | Purpose                                     | Variables                                   |\n| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |\n| `stage_one_system.md` | System prompt for per-session extraction    | —                                           |\n| `stage_one_input.md`  | User-turn template wrapping session content | `{{thread_id}}`, `{{response_items_json}}`  |\n| `consolidation.md`    | Prompt for cross-session consolidation      | `{{raw_memories}}`, `{{rollout_summaries}}` |\n| `read_path.md`        | Memory guidance injected into live sessions | `{{memory_summary}}`                        |\n\n### Model selection\n\nMemory piggybacks on the model role system.\n\n| Phase                   | Role                                                                | Purpose                          |\n| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |\n| Phase 1 (extraction)    | `default`                                                           | Per-session knowledge extraction |\n| Phase 2 (consolidation) | `smol` (falls back to `default`, then current/first registry model) | Cross-session synthesis          |\n\nIf the requested memory role is not configured, memory model resolution falls back to the `default` role, then the active session model, then the first model in the registry.\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Setting                               | Default | Description                                               |\n| ------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `memories.enabled`                    | `false` | Master switch                                             |\n| `memories.maxRolloutAgeDays`          | `30`    | Sessions older than this are not processed                |\n| `memories.minRolloutIdleHours`        | `12`    | Sessions active more recently than this are skipped       |\n| `memories.maxRolloutsPerStartup`      | `64`    | Cap on sessions processed in a single startup             |\n| `memories.summaryInjectionTokenLimit` | `5000`  | Max tokens of the summary injected into the system prompt |\n\nAdditional tuning knobs (concurrency, lease durations, token budgets) are available in config for advanced use.\n\n## Key files\n\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/memories/index.ts` — pipeline orchestration, injection, slash command handling\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/memories/storage.ts` — SQLite-backed job queue and thread registry\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/prompts/memories/` — memory prompt templates\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/internal-urls/memory-protocol.ts` — legacy non-public `memory://` compatibility handler\n",
-	"models.md": "# Model and Provider Configuration (`models.yml`)\n\nThis document describes how the coding-agent currently loads models, applies overrides, resolves credentials, and chooses models at runtime.\n\n## What controls model behavior\n\nPrimary implementation files:\n\n- `src/config/model-registry.ts` — loads built-in + custom models, provider overrides, runtime discovery, auth integration\n- `src/config/model-resolver.ts` — parses model patterns and selects models for the default and agent roles\n- `src/config/settings-schema.ts` — model-related settings (`modelRoles`, provider transport preferences)\n- `src/session/auth-storage.ts` — API key + OAuth resolution order\n- `packages/ai/src/models.ts` and `packages/ai/src/types.ts` — built-in providers/models and `Model`/`compat` types\n\n## Config file location and legacy behavior\n\nDefault config path:\n\n- `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`\n\nLegacy behavior still present:\n\n- If `models.yml` is missing and `models.json` exists at the same location, it is migrated to `models.yml`.\n- Explicit `.json` / `.jsonc` config paths are still supported when passed programmatically to `ModelRegistry`.\n\n## `models.yml` shape\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  <provider-id>:\n    # provider-level config\nequivalence:\n  overrides:\n    <provider-id>/<model-id>: <canonical-model-id>\n  exclude:\n    - <provider-id>/<model-id>\n```\n\n`provider-id` is the canonical provider key used across selection and auth lookup.\n\n`equivalence` is optional and configures canonical model grouping on top of concrete provider models:\n\n- `overrides` maps an exact concrete selector (`provider/modelId`) to an official upstream canonical id\n- `exclude` opts a concrete selector out of canonical grouping\n\n## Provider-level fields\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  my-provider:\n    baseUrl: https://api.example.com/v1\n    apiKey: MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    headers:\n      X-Team: platform\n    authHeader: true\n    auth: apiKey\n    disableStrictTools: false  # set true for Anthropic-compatible endpoints that reject the strict field\n    cacheRetention: short  # none | short | long; model entries and modelOverrides can override this\n    discovery:\n      type: ollama\n    modelOverrides:\n      some-model-id:\n        name: Renamed model\n        cacheRetention: long\n    models:\n      - id: some-model-id\n        name: Some Model\n        api: openai-completions\n        reasoning: false\n        input: [text]\n        cost:\n          input: 0\n          output: 0\n          cacheRead: 0\n          cacheWrite: 0\n        contextWindow: 128000\n        maxTokens: 16384\n        headers:\n          X-Model: value\n        cacheRetention: none\n        thinking:\n          minLevel: low\n          maxLevel: xhigh\n          mode: effort\n          defaultLevel: high\n          levels: [low, medium, high, xhigh]\n        compat:\n          supportsStore: true\n          supportsDeveloperRole: true\n          supportsReasoningEffort: true\n          maxTokensField: max_completion_tokens\n          openRouterRouting:\n            only: [anthropic]\n          vercelGatewayRouting:\n            order: [anthropic, openai]\n          extraBody:\n            gateway: m1-01\n            controller: mlx\nmodelBindings:\n  modelRoles:\n    default: my-provider/some-model-id:high\n  agentModelOverrides:\n    executor: my-provider/some-model-id\n```\n\n### Allowed provider/model `api` values\n\n- `openai-completions`\n- `openai-responses`\n- `openai-codex-responses`\n- `azure-openai-responses`\n- `bedrock-converse-stream`\n- `anthropic-messages`\n- `bedrock-converse-stream`\n- `google-generative-ai`\n- `google-vertex`\n- `google-gemini-cli`\n- `ollama-chat`\n- `cursor-agent`\n\n\n### First-class Azure OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock examples\n\nAzure OpenAI uses canonical OpenAI model IDs in SKC and resolves those IDs to Azure deployment names at request time. Set `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME_MAP` to avoid assuming model id equals deployment name:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  azure-openai:\n    baseUrl: https://my-resource.openai.azure.com/openai/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY\n    api: azure-openai-responses\n    models:\n      - id: gpt-4.1\n      - id: o3\n```\n\n```sh\nexport AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME_MAP='gpt-4.1=gpt-41-prod,o3=o3-reasoning-prod'\n```\n\nAmazon Bedrock uses the native `bedrock-converse-stream` transport and AWS credential chain auth. Do not put AWS access keys in `models.yml`; configure `AWS_REGION` / `AWS_PROFILE` or standard static AWS credential environment variables instead:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  amazon-bedrock:\n    baseUrl: https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\n    api: bedrock-converse-stream\n    models:\n      - id: us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1\n      - id: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0\n```\n\n### MiniMax and GLM custom provider examples\n\nFor common MiniMax and GLM/zAI setup, prefer the provider presets so the OpenAI-compatible API, base URL, env var, model id, and compatibility flags are written together:\n\n```sh\nskc setup provider --preset minimax\nskc setup provider --preset minimax-cn\nskc setup provider --preset glm\nskc setup provider --preset alibaba-token-plan\n```\n\nThe same presets are available inside the TUI:\n\n```text\n/provider add --preset minimax\n/provider add --preset glm\n/provider add zai\n/provider add --preset alibaba-token-plan\n```\n\nPresets only write `models.yml` entries that reference documented environment variable names (`MINIMAX_CODE_API_KEY`, `MINIMAX_CODE_CN_API_KEY`, `ZAI_API_KEY`, or `ALIBABA_TOKEN_PLAN_API_KEY`); they do not store or validate real credentials. The GLM preset aliases (`glm`, `zai`, `z-ai`) write an OpenAI-compatible custom provider named `glm-proxy` and do not replace the first-class `zai` provider. The Alibaba Token Plan preset (aliases: alibaba, token-plan) writes an OpenAI-compatible custom provider named alibaba-token-plan with per-model API routing (qwen3.8-max-preview uses openai-responses; glm-5.2 and deepseek-v4-pro use openai-completions).\n\n## Model profiles (`--mpreset`)\n\nModel profiles are optional top-level `profiles:` entries in `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`. A profile can require provider credentials before activation and can map one or more model roles; omitted roles inherit from the active defaults.\n\n> See also: [Cross-vendor role-based profiles](./multi-vendor-profiles.md) — a curated multi-vendor `profiles:` recipe and verified selector notes that build on the mechanism described here.\n\n```yaml\nprofiles:\n  team-standard:\n    required_providers: [openai, anthropic]\n    model_mapping:\n      default: openai/gpt-5.2\n      executor: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6:medium\n      architect: openai/o3:high\n      planner: openai/o3:high\n      critic: openai/o3:high\n```\n\n`model_mapping` keys are role names (`default`, `executor`, `architect`, `planner`, `critic`). Each role maps to exactly one model selector in the form `provider/modelId[:effort]`; comma-separated fallback chains are not supported in a single role value.\n`required_providers` is the aggregate set of providers required across the profile's mapped roles, not a per-role fallback chain.\n\nBuilt-in profiles are grouped by provider mix and tier:\n\n- `codex-{eco,medium,pro}` — all roles on `openai-codex/gpt-5.5`, differing only by per-role reasoning effort\n- `opencodego` — single OpenCode Go preset (Kimi default, DeepSeek executor/architect, Qwen planner, MiMo critic)\n- `claude-opus` — Anthropic OAuth preset centered on `claude-opus-5`\n- Single-provider tiers: `glm-{eco,medium,pro}`, `kimi-coding-plan-{eco,medium,pro}`, `mimo-{eco,medium,pro}`, `grok-{eco,medium,pro}`, `cursor-{eco,medium,pro}`, `minimax-{eco,medium,pro}`\n- Combos: `opus-codex` (Claude main agent with Codex support roles), `codex-opencodego` (Codex orchestrator/architect with OpenCode Go workers)\n\nThe `eco`, `medium`, and `pro` Codex profile mappings are current product judgments: Eco assigns Terra low/Luna low/Luna high/Terra xhigh/Terra high to default/executor/planner/critic/architect; Medium assigns Sol low/Terra low/Terra high/Sol xhigh/Sol high; and Pro assigns Sol medium/Terra medium/Sol high/Sol max/Sol xhigh. `opus-codex` retains the Medium Codex executor, critic, and architect roles but uses `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` for planner; `codex-opencodego` retains the Medium Codex default and architect roles; and `fable-opus-codex` uses the Pro Codex executor and architect roles with `anthropic/claude-opus-5:medium` for planner. The descriptive repeated local exact-edit evidence informs only selected executor-style TypeScript tasks; it does not evaluate or prove default, planner, architect, or critic performance. See [GPT-5.6 Codex preset benchmark](./gpt-5.6-codex-preset-benchmark.md). Effort suffixes are clamped to each model's supported thinking range at preview and activation time. Single-provider tiers pin each provider's current flagship (`zai/glm-5.2`, `kimi-code/kimi-k2.7-code`, `xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro`, `xai/grok-4.3`, `cursor/composer-1.5`, `minimax-code/minimax-m3`). User-defined profiles override built-ins by exact profile name.\n\n\nUse `skc --mpreset <name>` to activate a profile for the current session only. Activation hard-blocks when any provider listed in `required_providers` lacks credentials. Add `--default` to persist the selected profile as `modelProfile.default` in `config.yml`, so it applies at startup:\n\n```sh\nskc --mpreset codex-medium\nskc --mpreset opencodego --default\n```\n\nThe `/model` command opens to a preset landing view: presets are grouped by provider with live auth marks (✓/✗), highlighting a group expands its tiers, and selecting a tier shows the full role→model preview before applying for the session or as default. Typing jumps straight to model search, and `Browse all models` opens the classic tabbed model selector. In `/login`, `Add custom provider` is the first option for configuring credentials needed by custom or profile-required providers; after a successful provider login, the matching preset is recommended automatically.\n\nMiniMax's OpenAI-compatible endpoint rejects multiple system messages and emits thinking in `reasoning_content`, so pin the public-safe compatibility fields when hand-authoring a custom provider:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  minimax-custom:\n    baseUrl: https://api.minimax.io/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: MINIMAX_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    compat:\n      supportsStore: false\n      supportsDeveloperRole: false\n      supportsReasoningEffort: false\n      reasoningContentField: reasoning_content\n    models:\n      - id: MiniMax-M2.5\n```\n\nGLM via z.ai is available as the first-class `zai` provider. For a private GLM-compatible proxy, keep secrets in an env var and disable OpenAI-only request fields as needed:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  glm-proxy:\n    baseUrl: https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4\n    apiKeyEnv: ZAI_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    compat:\n      supportsDeveloperRole: false\n      supportsReasoningEffort: false\n    models:\n      - id: glm-4.6\n```\n### Allowed auth/discovery values\n\n- `auth`: `apiKey` (default), `none`, or `oauth`; for `models.yml` custom models, `oauth` is accepted by schema but does not waive the `apiKey` requirement\n- `models.yml` is strict: unknown provider/model keys fail validation before provider dispatch, so stale keys such as `requestTransform` or `wireModelId` only work where this document lists them.\n- `discovery.type`: `ollama`, `llama.cpp`, `lm-studio`, `omlx`, `sglang`, or `openai-models-list`\n- `cacheRetention`: `none`, `short`, or `long`; request-time options win over model/modelOverride values, then provider values, then `SKC_CACHE_RETENTION`, then the runtime default. The runtime default is `short` for most providers, but the Anthropic provider defaults to `long` (`ttl: \"1h\"`) because the ~5m default is too fragile for long-running subagent workflows. The 1h marker is only emitted on the canonical Anthropic API (`api.anthropic.com`) for models advertising `supportsLongCacheRetention`; proxies, gateways, and incapable models fall back to the default ephemeral (~5m) breakpoint. For OpenAI Responses, this controls `prompt_cache_retention` only; it does not disable `prompt_cache_key` when a stable session id exists.\n\n## OpenAI-compatible proxy configuration\n\nOpenAI-compatible proxy providers should use schema-supported provider keys first:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  proxy-provider:\n    baseUrl: https://api.proxy.example/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: PROXY_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    auth: apiKey\n    headers:\n      User-Agent: curl/8.7.1\n    models:\n      - id: local-gpt\n        name: Local GPT\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text]\n        cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }\n        contextWindow: 400000\n        maxTokens: 128000\n```\n\nUse provider-level `headers` for proxy-required headers. Keep the provider `api` set to `openai-completions` when the proxy exposes Chat Completions-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` semantics. `auth: apiKey` sends the resolved token as bearer auth; use `auth: none` only for trusted local/no-auth endpoints.\n\n`input` is the model modality list SKC uses to decide whether image content is forwarded. When a custom model omits `input`, SKC defaults to `[text]` (unless a bundled model with the same id contributes a reference). Vision-capable upstream models therefore need an explicit `input: [text, image]`; otherwise `read`/tool images are stripped before the request and replaced with `[image omitted: model does not support vision]`, even if the remote model can see images.\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  ali:\n    baseUrl: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: ALI_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    auth: apiKey\n    models:\n      # id-only → text-only; images will be omitted\n      - id: some-text-model\n      # vision-capable hosted model must declare image input\n      - id: qwen3.8-max-preview\n        name: Qwen3.8 Max Preview\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text, image]\n```\n\n`requestTransform` and `wireModelId` remain supported for request-body shaping, but they are not needed for ordinary OpenAI-compatible proxies whose local model id is already the upstream wire id. Unknown config keys fail validation before a provider request is sent.\n\nWhen request shaping is needed:\n\n- `requestTransform.profile: openai-proxy` strips OpenAI SDK/Stainless telemetry and beta headers at final fetch time and sets a generic SKC user agent.\n- `stripHeaders` replaces the preset strip list when provided.\n- `setHeaders` is applied after stripping; use `null` to remove a header.\n- `extraBody` is shallow-merged into the JSON request body after provider compatibility fields; core transport keys such as `model`, `messages`/`input`, `stream`, `tools`, and `tool_choice` are protected and ignored.\n- Model-level `requestTransform` overrides provider-level fields and shallow-merges `setHeaders`/`extraBody`.\n- `wireModelId` changes only the upstream request body model id; local selection still uses `provider/id`.\n\n### Layofflabs-style proxy example\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  layofflabs:\n    baseUrl: https://api.layofflabs.com/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: OPENAI_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    auth: apiKey\n    headers:\n      User-Agent: curl/8.7.1\n    models:\n      - id: gpt-5.5\n        name: GPT 5.5 via Layofflabs\n        reasoning: true\n        thinking:\n          minLevel: low\n          maxLevel: xhigh\n          mode: effort\n          defaultLevel: high\n          levels: [low, medium, high, xhigh]\n        input: [text]\n        cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }\n        contextWindow: 400000\n        maxTokens: 128000\n\nmodelBindings:\n  modelRoles:\n    default: layofflabs/gpt-5.5:high\n  agentModelOverrides:\n    executor: layofflabs/gpt-5.5:high\n```\n\n## Validation rules (current)\n\n### Full custom provider (`models` is non-empty)\n\nRequired:\n\n- `baseUrl`\n- `apiKey` unless `auth: none`\n- `api` at provider level or each model\n\n### Override-only provider (`models` missing or empty)\n\nMust define at least one of:\n\n- `baseUrl`\n- `headers`\n- `compat`\n- `requestTransform`\n- `disableStrictTools`\n- `modelOverrides`\n- `discovery`\n\n### Discovery\n\n- `discovery` requires provider-level `api`.\n\n### Model value checks\n\n- `id` required\n- `contextWindow` and `maxTokens` must be positive if provided\n- unknown provider, model, override, and request-transform keys fail schema validation; remove stale keys instead of relying on them being ignored.\n\n## Merge and override order\n\nModelRegistry pipeline (on refresh):\n\n1. Load built-in providers/models from `@sayknow-cli/ai`.\n2. Load `models.yml` custom config.\n3. Apply provider overrides (`baseUrl`, `headers`, `requestTransform`, `disableStrictTools`, `cacheRetention`) to built-in models.\n4. Apply `modelOverrides` (per provider + model id).\n5. Merge custom `models`:\n   - same `provider + id` replaces existing\n   - otherwise append\n6. Load cached/runtime-discovered models (Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, plus built-in provider managers), then re-apply model overrides.\n\n### Provider-model cache and static fingerprint\n\nCached per-provider model lists are persisted in the model-cache SQLite\ndatabase (schema v3) with a `static_fingerprint` column that hashes the\nstatic catalog slice merged into the row. When `resolveProviderModels`\nskips the network fetch and the fingerprint of the in-memory static\ncatalog matches the cached one, the cached rows are returned verbatim —\nthe static + dynamic merge is bypassed entirely. The fingerprint is\nmemoized per process via a WeakMap keyed by the static-models array\nreference, so repeated cold-start calls do not re-hash.\n\n## Canonical model equivalence and coalescing\n\nThe registry keeps every concrete provider model and then builds a canonical layer above them.\n\nCanonical ids are official upstream ids only, for example:\n\n- `anthropic-model-opus-4-6`\n- `anthropic-model-haiku-4-5`\n- `gpt-5.3-openai-code`\n\n### `models.yml` equivalence config\n\nExample:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  zenmux:\n    baseUrl: https://api.zenmux.example/v1\n    apiKey: ZENMUX_API_KEY\n    api: openai-codex-responses\n    models:\n      - id: openai-code\n        name: Zenmux OpenAI code\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text]\n        cost:\n          input: 0\n          output: 0\n          cacheRead: 0\n          cacheWrite: 0\n        contextWindow: 200000\n        maxTokens: 32768\n\nequivalence:\n  overrides:\n    zenmux/openai-code: gpt-5.3-openai-code\n    p-openai-code/openai-code: gpt-5.3-openai-code\n  exclude:\n    - demo/openai-code-preview\n```\n\nBuild order for canonical grouping:\n\n1. exact user override from `equivalence.overrides`\n2. bundled official-id matches from built-in model metadata\n3. conservative heuristic normalization for gateway/provider variants\n4. fallback to the concrete model's own id\n\nCurrent heuristics are intentionally narrow:\n\n- embedded upstream prefixes can be stripped when present, for example `anthropic/...` or `openai/...`\n- dotted and dashed version variants can normalize only when they map to an existing official id, for example `4.6 -> 4-6`\n- ambiguous families or versions are not merged without a bundled match or explicit override\n\n### Canonical resolution behavior\n\nWhen multiple concrete variants share a canonical id, resolution uses:\n\n1. availability and auth\n2. `config.yml` `modelProviderOrder`\n3. existing registry/provider order if `modelProviderOrder` is unset\n\nDisabled or unauthenticated providers are skipped.\n\nSession state and transcripts continue to record the concrete provider/model that actually executed the turn.\n\nProvider defaults vs per-model overrides:\n\n- Provider `headers` are baseline.\n- Model `headers` override provider header keys.\n- `modelOverrides` can override model metadata (`name`, `reasoning`, `input`, `cost`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `headers`, `compat`, `contextPromotionTarget`).\n- `compat` is deep-merged for nested routing blocks (`openRouterRouting`, `vercelGatewayRouting`, `extraBody`).\n\n## Runtime discovery integration\n\n### Implicit Ollama discovery\n\nIf `ollama` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `ollama`\n- api: `openai-responses`\n- base URL: `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:11434`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery calls Ollama endpoints and normalizes discovered OpenAI-compatible models to `openai-responses`.\n\n### Implicit llama.cpp discovery\n\nIf `llama.cpp` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `llama.cpp`\n- api: `openai-responses`\n- base URL: `LLAMA_CPP_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery calls llama.cpp model endpoints and synthesizes model entries with local defaults.\n\n### Implicit LM Studio discovery\n\nIf `lm-studio` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `lm-studio`\n- api: `openai-completions`\n- base URL: `LM_STUDIO_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery fetches models (`GET /models`) and synthesizes model entries with local defaults.\n\n### Implicit oMLX discovery\n\nIf `omlx` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit OpenAI-compatible provider at `OMLX_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1`. Implicit discovery accepts only canonical HTTP(S) loopback URLs without userinfo, query, or fragment; redirects are refused. It discovers models through `GET /v1/models`, accepts `OMLX_API_KEY` when the loopback server requires one, and otherwise uses keyless local auth. Built-in macOS oMLX profiles select the reviewed served model ids and preserve role-specific thinking effort.\n\n### Implicit SGLang discovery\n\nIf `sglang` is not explicitly configured, its bundled OpenAI-compatible descriptor discovers models at trusted `SGLANG_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:30000/v1`. Credentialless implicit discovery accepts only HTTP(S) loopback origins, including normalized IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4-mapped loopback forms. Remote SGLang servers require an explicit provider configuration or a trusted base URL plus `SGLANG_API_KEY`; all endpoint URLs must omit userinfo, query, and fragment components, and project-local environment files cannot silently redirect implicit authenticated discovery.\n\n### Explicit provider discovery\n\nYou can configure discovery yourself:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  ollama:\n    baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:11434\n    api: openai-responses\n    auth: none\n    discovery:\n      type: ollama\n\n  llama.cpp:\n    baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8080\n    api: openai-responses\n    auth: none\n    discovery:\n      type: llama.cpp\n```\n\n### Extension provider registration\n\nExtensions can register providers at runtime (`pi.registerProvider(...)`), including:\n\n- model replacement/append for a provider\n- custom stream handler registration for new API IDs\n- custom OAuth provider registration\n\n## Auth and API key resolution order\n\nWhen requesting a key for a provider, effective order is:\n\n1. Runtime override (CLI `--api-key`)\n2. Stored API key credential in `agent.db`\n3. Stored OAuth credential in `agent.db` (with refresh)\n4. Environment variable mapping (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, etc.)\n5. ModelRegistry fallback resolver (provider `apiKey` from `models.yml`, env-name-or-literal semantics)\n\n`models.yml` `apiKey` behavior:\n\n- Value is first treated as an environment variable name.\n- If no env var exists, the literal string is used as the token.\n\nIf `authHeader: true` and provider `apiKey` is set, models get:\n\n- `Authorization: Bearer <resolved-key>` header injected.\n\nKeyless providers:\n\n- Providers marked `auth: none` are treated as available without credentials.\n- `getApiKey*` returns `kNoAuth` for them.\n\n### Broker mode\n\nWhen `SKC_AUTH_BROKER_URL` (or `auth.broker.url`) is set, the local SQLite credential store is replaced by `RemoteAuthCredentialStore`. Layers 2 and 3 above (stored API key / OAuth in `agent.db`) are served from a broker-supplied snapshot whose `refresh` tokens are redacted; expiry triggers `POST /v1/credential/:id/refresh` on the broker rather than a local refresh.\n\n`AuthStorage.setConfigApiKey` lets a `models.yml` `apiKey` win over a broker-resolved OAuth token without overriding a runtime `--api-key`. See [`auth-broker-gateway.md`](./auth-broker-gateway.md) for the full broker / gateway design and env surface (`SKC_AUTH_BROKER_URL`, `SKC_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN`, `auth.broker.url`, `auth.broker.token`).\n\n## Model availability vs all models\n\n- `getAll()` returns the loaded model registry (built-in + merged custom + discovered).\n- `getAvailable()` filters to models that are keyless or have resolvable auth.\n\nSo a model can exist in registry but not be selectable until auth is available.\n\n## Runtime model resolution\n\n### CLI and pattern parsing\n\n`model-resolver.ts` supports:\n\n- exact `provider/modelId`\n- exact canonical model id\n- exact model id (provider inferred)\n- fuzzy/substring matching\n- glob scope patterns in `--models` (e.g. `openai/*`, `*sonnet*`)\n- optional `:thinkingLevel` suffix (`off|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh`)\n\n`--provider` is legacy; `--model` is preferred.\n\nResolution precedence for exact selectors:\n\n1. exact `provider/modelId` bypasses coalescing\n2. exact canonical id resolves through the canonical index\n3. exact bare concrete id still works\n4. fuzzy and glob matching run after the exact paths\n\n### Initial model selection priority\n\n`findInitialModel(...)` uses this order:\n\n1. explicit CLI provider+model\n2. first scoped model (if not resuming)\n3. saved default provider/model\n4. known provider defaults (e.g. OpenAI/Anthropic/etc.) among available models\n5. first available model\n\n### Role aliases and settings\n\nSupported model roles:\n\n- `default` plus the agent assignment targets `executor`, `architect`, `planner`, `critic`\n\nRole aliases like `pi/default` expand through `settings.modelRoles`. Each role value can also append a thinking selector such as `:minimal`, `:low`, `:medium`, or `:high`.\n\nIf a role points at another role, the target model still inherits normally and any explicit suffix on the referring role wins for that role-specific use.\n\nRelated settings:\n\n- `modelRoles` (record)\n- `enabledModels` (scoped pattern list)\n- `modelProviderOrder` (global canonical-provider precedence)\n- `providers.kimiApiFormat` (`openai` or `anthropic` request format)\n- `providers.openaiWebsockets` (`auto|off|on` websocket preference for OpenAI code provider transport)\n\n`modelRoles` may store either:\n\n- `provider/modelId` to pin a concrete provider variant\n- a canonical id such as `gpt-5.3-openai-code` to allow provider coalescing\n\nFor `enabledModels` and CLI `--models`:\n\n- exact canonical ids expand to all concrete variants in that canonical group\n- explicit `provider/modelId` entries stay exact\n- globs and fuzzy matches still operate on concrete models\n\nGlobal `enabledModels` and `disabledProviders` entries may also be scoped to a path prefix:\n\n```yaml\nenabledModels:\n  - anthropic-model-sonnet-4-5\n  - path: ~/work\n    models:\n      - anthropic/anthropic-model-opus-4-5\ndisabledProviders:\n  - ollama\n  - path: ~/private\n    providers:\n      - anthropic\n```\n\nString entries apply everywhere. Scoped entries apply when the current working directory is the configured path or one of its subdirectories. Use `path`, `paths`, `pathPrefix`, or `pathPrefixes`; use `models` for `enabledModels`, `providers` for `disabledProviders`, or `values` for either.\n\n## `/model` and `--list-models`\n\nBoth surfaces keep provider-prefixed models visible and selectable.\n\nThey now also expose canonical/coalesced models:\n\n- `/model` includes a canonical view alongside provider tabs\n- `--list-models` prints a canonical section plus the concrete provider rows\n\nSelecting a canonical entry stores the canonical selector. Selecting a provider row stores the explicit `provider/modelId`.\n\n### Assigning a model to a detailed use\n\nThe role rows in `/model` open a second level. The first level keeps its seven\nactions in their original order; picking `executor`, `architect`, `planner` or\n`critic` then offers **General (whole role)** plus the detailed uses that role\ncan actually run:\n\n| Role | Detailed uses |\n| --- | --- |\n| `planner`, `architect` | `backendArchitecture`, `frontendDesign` |\n| `executor` | `implementation`, `testing` |\n| `critic` | `review` |\n\n`default` has no detailed uses and still assigns in one keystroke. The two bulk\nrows write canonical role models only — they never touch detailed-use settings,\nbecause a \"set everything\" action that also rewrote five overrides could not be\nundone from the same menu.\n\nDetailed-use assignments persist to `task.modelRouting.specialtyModels`, a\nrecord whose keys are restricted to the five ids above; anything else is\nrejected by config validation. A row shows the model it already holds, and\n**Clear detailed-use overrides** removes only the entries belonging to that role.\n\nA saved detailed-use model is live immediately for any spawn that **declares**\nthat work (below). Saving one while `task.modelRouting.enabled` is `false` still\npersists it and says so; that switch only governs auto-detection.\n\n### How a subagent's model is chosen\n\nThere are two ways a detailed-use model reaches a spawn. The first is\ndeterministic and needs no switch; the second is a guess and is opt-in.\n\n**Declared.** The `task` tool accepts `.specialty` per task — one of the five\nids above. When the user assigned a model to that specialty, the child runs on\nit. No classifier is consulted, `task.modelRouting.enabled` is not read, and no\nconfidence bar applies. The child leaves that model only when it **errors**:\nthe child session's fallback chain retries `fallback.maxAttempts` times on a\ntransport failure (429, 5xx, auth, quota) and then advances to the role's own\nchain composed behind it. The menu groups specialties under the roles that\nusually do that work, but the setting is one flat map, and a declared specialty\nignores that grouping on purpose: a frontend build delegated to `executor` with\n`specialty: \"frontendDesign\"` runs on the frontend model.\n\n**Auto-detected.** Without a declaration, routing is off unless\n`task.modelRouting.enabled` is true **and** there is somewhere to route to: at\nleast two of `task.modelRouting.fastModel` / `balancedModel` / `deepModel`, or a\ndetailed-use entry, or the legacy `task.modelRouting.frontendModel`. A single\ntier is not an axis — there is nowhere to move from it. It also needs typed\ndecisions (`decisions.enabled`) and a cheap model for the classifier to run on.\n\nOne classification runs per **child task**, not per `task` call. A batch shares\nan agent but not a workload, so an implementation slice and a test slice in the\nsame call are classified separately.\n\nEither way the result is dispatched as an ordered fallback chain, not a single\nmodel:\n\n1. the detailed-use model — declared, or picked by the classifier for a role that can run it\n2. the tier model, when the difficulty axis moved (auto-detected only)\n3. the role's own configured chain\n\nThe tail is always the role baseline, so a detailed-use model that cannot\nauthenticate still lands on something the role can actually run. A high-risk\nauto-detected assignment skips the detailed-use axis entirely and composes tier\nplus baseline only, because a lateral swap can move sideways into something\nweaker.\n\nReceipts record what the router **requested** separately from what the spawn ran\non. When the backend is an ordinary LLM it reports no probabilities at all, so\nthe receipt carries an ordinal clarity score and `calibrated: false` instead of\na fabricated confidence.\n\n## Context promotion (model-level fallback chains)\n\nContext promotion is an overflow recovery mechanism for small-context variants (for example `*-spark`) that automatically promotes to a larger-context sibling when the API rejects a request with a context length error. It is **off by default** (`contextPromotion.enabled` is `false`); opt in to enable it.\n\n### Trigger and order\n\nWhen a turn fails with a context overflow error (e.g. `context_length_exceeded`), `AgentSession` attempts promotion **before** falling back to compaction:\n\n1. If `contextPromotion.enabled` is true, resolve a promotion target (see below).\n2. If a target is found, switch to it and retry the request — no compaction needed.\n3. If no target is available, fall through to auto-compaction on the current model.\n\n### Target selection\n\nSelection is model-driven, not role-driven:\n\n1. `currentModel.contextPromotionTarget` (if configured)\n2. smallest larger-context model on the same provider + API\n\nCandidates are ignored unless credentials resolve (`ModelRegistry.getApiKey(...)`).\n\n### OpenAI code provider websocket handoff\n\nIf switching from/to `openai-codex-responses`, session provider state key `openai-codex-responses` is closed before model switch. This drops websocket transport state so the next turn starts clean on the promoted model.\n\n### Persistence behavior\n\nPromotion uses temporary switching (`setModelTemporary`):\n\n- recorded as a temporary `model_change` in session history\n- does not rewrite saved role mapping\n\n### Configuring explicit fallback chains\n\nConfigure fallback directly in model metadata via `contextPromotionTarget`.\n\n`contextPromotionTarget` accepts either:\n\n- `provider/model-id` (explicit)\n- `model-id` (resolved within current provider)\n\nExample (`models.yml`) for Spark -> non-Spark on the same provider:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  openai-code:\n    modelOverrides:\n      gpt-5.3-openai-code-spark:\n        contextPromotionTarget: openai-code/gpt-5.3-openai-code\n```\n\nThe built-in model generator also assigns this automatically for `*-spark` models when a same-provider base model exists.\n\n## Compatibility and routing fields\n\nThe `compat` block on a provider or model overrides the URL-based auto-detection in `packages/ai/src/providers/openai-completions-compat.ts`. It is validated by `OpenAICompatSchema` in `packages/coding-agent/src/config/model-registry.ts` and consumed by every `openai-completions` transport (`packages/ai/src/providers/openai-completions.ts`). The canonical type is `OpenAICompat` in `packages/ai/src/types.ts`.\n\n`models.yml` accepts the following keys (all optional; unset falls back to URL detection):\n\nRequest shaping:\n\n- `supportsStore` — emit `store: false` on requests. Default: auto (off for non-standard endpoints).\n- `supportsDeveloperRole` — use the `developer` system role for reasoning models instead of `system`. Default: auto.\n- `sendSessionHeaders` — forward the agent session id as `session_id` and `x-session-id` request headers so OpenAI-compatible relays/proxies can do session-affinity routing and reuse a server-side prompt cache. Default: `false`. Caller-set `headers`/`requestTransform` values are never overwritten.\n- `supportsUsageInStreaming` — send `stream_options: { include_usage: true }` to receive token usage on streaming responses. Default: `true`.\n- `maxTokensField` — `\"max_completion_tokens\"` or `\"max_tokens\"`. Default: auto.\n- `supportsToolChoice` — emit the `tool_choice` parameter when the caller forces a specific tool. Default: `true`. Set `false` for endpoints that 400 on `tool_choice` (e.g. DeepSeek when reasoning is on).\n- `disableReasoningOnForcedToolChoice` — drop `reasoning_effort` / OpenRouter `reasoning` whenever `tool_choice` forces a call. Default: auto (Kimi/Anthropic-fronted endpoints).\n- `extraBody` — extra top-level fields merged into every request body (gateway hints, controller selectors, etc.).\n\nReasoning / thinking:\n\n- `supportsReasoningEffort` — accept `reasoning_effort`. Default: auto (off for zAI; on for Grok and OpenAI-compatible hosts that advertise it).\n- `reasoningEffortMap` — partial map from internal effort levels (`minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh`) to provider-specific strings (e.g. DeepSeek maps `xhigh -> \"max\"`).\n- `thinkingFormat` — request shape for thinking: `\"openai\"` (`reasoning_effort`), `\"openrouter\"` (`reasoning: { effort }`), `\"zai\"` (`thinking: { type: \"enabled\" }`), `\"qwen\"` (top-level `enable_thinking`), or `\"qwen-chat-template\"` (`chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking`). Default: `\"openai\"`.\n- `reasoningContentField` — assistant field carrying chain-of-thought: `\"reasoning_content\"`, `\"reasoning\"`, or `\"reasoning_text\"`. Default: auto.\n- `requiresReasoningContentForToolCalls` — assistant tool-call turns must round-trip the reasoning field (DeepSeek-R1, Kimi, OpenRouter when reasoning is on). Default: `false`.\n- `requiresAssistantContentForToolCalls` — assistant tool-call turns must include non-empty text content (Kimi). Default: `false`.\n\nTool / message normalization:\n\n- `requiresToolResultName` — tool-result messages need a `name` field (Mistral). Default: auto.\n- `requiresAssistantAfterToolResult` — a user message after a tool result needs an assistant turn in between. Default: auto.\n- `requiresThinkingAsText` — convert thinking blocks to text wrapped in `<thinking>` delimiters (Mistral). Default: auto.\n- `requiresMistralToolIds` — normalize tool-call ids to exactly 9 alphanumeric chars. Default: auto.\n- `supportsStrictMode` — accept the per-tool `strict` field on tool schemas. Default: conservative auto-detect per provider/baseUrl.\n- `toolStrictMode` — `\"all_strict\"` forces strict on every tool, `\"none\"` forces it off; unset keeps the existing per-tool mixed behavior.\n\nGateway routing (only applied when `baseUrl` matches the gateway):\n\n- `openRouterRouting.only` / `openRouterRouting.order` — provider routing on `openrouter.ai` (see <https://openrouter.ai/docs/provider-routing>).\n- `vercelGatewayRouting.only` / `vercelGatewayRouting.order` — provider routing on `ai-gateway.vercel.sh` (see <https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers/provider-options>).\n\nProvider-level `compat` is the baseline; per-model `compat` is deep-merged on top, with `openRouterRouting`, `vercelGatewayRouting`, and `extraBody` merged as nested objects.\n\n### Anthropic compatibility (`anthropic-messages`)\n\nFor `anthropic-messages` models the runtime uses a separate `AnthropicCompat` shape (`packages/ai/src/types.ts`). The `models.yml` schema currently exposes only the strict-tools opt-out as a top-level provider field (see below); the remaining Anthropic-side knobs (`disableAdaptiveThinking`, `supportsEagerToolInputStreaming`, `supportsLongCacheRetention`) are set by built-in catalog metadata and are not user-configurable from `models.yml`.\n\n### Strict tool schemas (`disableStrictTools`)\n\nAnthropic's API supports a `strict` field on tool definitions that forces the model to always follow the provided schema exactly. This is enabled by default for all `anthropic-messages` providers because it guarantees schema conformance in agentic systems.\n\nThird-party providers that front the Anthropic API (AWS Bedrock, Azure, self-hosted proxies) do not always implement this field and will reject requests that include it. Set `disableStrictTools: true` at the provider level to opt out:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  bedrock-anthropic:\n    baseUrl: https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/anthropic\n    apiKey: AWS_BEARER_TOKEN\n    api: anthropic-messages\n    disableStrictTools: true\n    models:\n      - id: anthropic-model-sonnet-4-20250514\n        name: Anthropic model Sonnet 4 (Bedrock)\n        input: [text, image]\n        contextWindow: 200000\n        maxTokens: 16384\n        cost:\n          input: 3.00\n          output: 15.00\n          cacheRead: 0.30\n          cacheWrite: 3.75\n```\n\n`disableStrictTools` is a provider-level flag that applies to all models in the provider.\n\nTool schemas going on the wire are normalized by the unified flow in\n`packages/ai/src/utils/schema/normalize.ts` (Google/CCA/MCP dispatchers\nplus the OpenAI strict-mode sanitize+enforce pipeline). See\n[`ai-schema-normalize.md`](./ai-schema-normalize.md) for the strict-mode\nedge cases (local `$ref` inlining, single-item `allOf` collapse,\n`anyOf`-wrapper description hoist, enum/const primitive-type inference)\nand the per-provider dispatcher mapping.\n## Practical examples\n\n### Local OpenAI-compatible endpoint (no auth)\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  local-openai:\n    baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1\n    auth: none\n    api: openai-completions\n    models:\n      - id: Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct\n        name: Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B (local)\n```\n\n### Hosted proxy with env-based key\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  anthropic-proxy:\n    baseUrl: https://proxy.example.com/anthropic\n    apiKey: ANTHROPIC_PROXY_API_KEY\n    api: anthropic-messages\n    authHeader: true\n    disableStrictTools: true  # if the proxy doesn't support strict tool schemas\n    models:\n      - id: anthropic-model-sonnet-4-20250514\n        name: Anthropic model Sonnet 4 (Proxy)\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text, image]\n```\n\n### Override built-in provider route + model metadata\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  openrouter:\n    baseUrl: https://my-proxy.example.com/v1\n    headers:\n      X-Team: platform\n    modelOverrides:\n      anthropic/anthropic-model-sonnet-4:\n        name: Sonnet 4 (Corp)\n        compat:\n          openRouterRouting:\n            only: [anthropic]\n```\n\n## Legacy consumer caveat\n\nMost model configuration now flows through `models.yml` via `ModelRegistry`. Explicit `.json` / `.jsonc` paths remain supported only when passed programmatically to `ModelRegistry`; the default user config is `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`.\n\n## Failure mode\n\nIf `models.yml` fails schema or validation checks:\n\n- registry keeps operating with built-in models\n- error is exposed via `ModelRegistry.getError()` and surfaced in UI/notifications\n",
-	"multi-vendor-profiles.md": "# Choosing models in SKC: role-based profiles\n\nA practical guide to picking models for SKC's roles, for every subscription situation — one vendor, two vendors, or the full multi-vendor set. It adds curated cross-vendor `profiles:` for `~/.skc/agent/models.yml` and verified selector notes on top of the mechanism in [Model profiles](./models.md#model-profiles---mpreset). Everything here is **user config**; it complements the built-in `--mpreset` presets and overrides a built-in only when it shares its exact name.\n\n> Selectors, prices, and \"axis leaders\" are catalog- and time-sensitive (selectors and prices observed 2026-07 on the current bundled catalog; the measured latency and single-message-limit notes below were observed 2026-06 on `claude-opus-4-8` and have not been re-measured on `claude-opus-5`). Re-verify any selector with `skc -p --no-session --no-tools --model <selector> \"Reply OK\"`.\n\n## The five roles\n\n`default` runs the main loop and most turns; `executor` / `architect` / `planner` / `critic` are the four bundled task agents, delegated only when the work calls for it.\n\n| Role | What it optimizes for |\n| --- | --- |\n| `default` | tool-calling reliability + honesty (it routes — its quality bounds the whole system) |\n| `executor` | real coding (SWE-bench Verified) |\n| `planner` | reasoning + sequencing (GPQA / ARC-AGI-2) |\n| `architect` | large-context + multimodal review |\n| `critic` | independent adversarial review (different family from what it reviews) |\n\n## Pick by what you subscribe to\n\n| You have | Use |\n| --- | --- |\n| **One vendor** | the built-in preset for that vendor — `claude-opus` (Anthropic), `codex-{eco,medium,pro}` (OpenAI/Codex), `opencodego` (OpenCode Go), or a single-vendor flagship tier (`zai/glm-5.2`, `kimi-code/...`, `xiaomi/...`, `xai/grok-4.6`, `minimax-code/...`). These already map all five roles inside one vendor. |\n| **Claude + Codex** | the built-in `opus-codex` (Claude main loop + Codex support roles). |\n| **Three or more / all five** | the cross-vendor profiles below — each role on its axis leader, `critic` kept cross-family. |\n\nThe single guiding rule across all of these: **keep `default` on the strongest router you have** (Anthropic Opus when available). A weak `default` caps quality regardless of the delegated models.\n\n## Cross-vendor profiles (3+ vendors)\n\nNo single vendor leads every axis, so these put each role on its axis leader and keep `critic` on a different family from the `executor` it reviews.\n\n```yaml\nprofiles:\n\n  daily:                 # everyday balance\n    required_providers: [anthropic, openai-codex, google-antigravity, xai]\n    model_mapping:\n      default:   anthropic/claude-opus-5:medium\n      executor:  openai-codex/gpt-5.4:high\n      planner:   google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high\n      architect: google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high\n      critic:    xai/grok-4.6:medium\n\n  ultimate:              # cost-no-object, best per role\n    required_providers: [anthropic, openai-codex, google-antigravity, xai]\n    model_mapping:\n      default:   anthropic/claude-opus-5:high\n      executor:  anthropic/claude-opus-5:max\n      planner:   openai-codex/gpt-5.5:xhigh\n      architect: google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high\n      critic:    xai/grok-4.6:high\n\n  eco:                   # cheapest delegated work; main loop stays on Opus\n    required_providers: [anthropic, opencode-go, google-antigravity, xai]\n    model_mapping:\n      default:   anthropic/claude-opus-5:low\n      executor:  opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash\n      planner:   xai/grok-4-1-fast:high\n      architect: google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low\n      critic:    google-antigravity/gemini-3.5-flash\n\n  monorepo:              # huge codebases (openai-codex excluded: 272k context cap)\n    required_providers: [anthropic, google-antigravity, opencode-go]\n    model_mapping:\n      default:   anthropic/claude-opus-5:medium\n      executor:  anthropic/claude-opus-5:high\n      planner:   google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high\n      architect: anthropic/claude-opus-5:high\n      critic:    opencode-go/glm-5.2\n\n  reviewer:              # review/audit stance — the author-mode role split, inverted\n    required_providers: [anthropic, openai-codex, google-antigravity]\n    model_mapping:\n      default:   anthropic/claude-opus-5:high                 # aggregator restraint: preserve raw reviewer verdicts\n      executor:  openai-codex/gpt-5.5:high                      # support — repro PoCs, failing tests, harnesses\n      planner:   google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high     # review checklists / audit scoping\n      architect: anthropic/claude-opus-5:high                 # lead 1 — primary code-review judge (effective long-context)\n      critic:    openai-codex/gpt-5.5:high                      # lead 2 — merge gate, cross-family vs Claude-authored code\n```\n\n## Model cheatsheet (by need)\n\nCurrent axis leaders and the cheaper second option, with metered price ($/1M in/out; Gemini via Antigravity runs on the Google AI subscription):\n\n| Need | First pick | Cheaper option |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Router / tool-calling (`default`) | `anthropic/claude-opus-5` (5/25) | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` (3/15) |\n| Coding (`executor`) | `anthropic/claude-opus-5` (5/25) — the prior `claude-opus-4-8` scored SWE-bench Verified ~88.6; no Opus 5 measurement yet | `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` (2.5/15) · `opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash` (0.14/0.28) |\n| Reasoning (`planner`) | `openai-codex/gpt-5.5` (ARC-AGI-2) / `google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high` (GPQA) | `xai/grok-4-1-fast` (0.2/0.5) |\n| Large context (`architect`) | `anthropic/claude-opus-5` (effective long-context) | `xai/grok-4-fast` (2M nominal, 0.2/0.5) |\n| Multimodal review (`architect`) | `google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high` | `google-antigravity/gemini-3.5-flash` |\n| Independent critic | `xai/grok-4.6` (2/6) | `opencode-go/glm-5.2` · `google-antigravity/gemini-3.5-flash` |\n\nOn standard tasks, all current frontier models in the catalog are accurate; **pick by cost, latency, and role fit, not by raw accuracy on easy prompts.** As an indicative SKC-routed latency reference (`skc -p`, identical coding + reasoning prompts, all correct): `grok-4.6` / `grok-4.3` and `glm-5.2` ≈ 2–3s, `deepseek-v4-pro` ≈ 3–4s, `claude-opus-4-8` / `gpt-5.5` ≈ 4–7s, `gemini-3.1-pro-low:high` ≈ 7s. `claude-opus-5` shares Opus 4.8's published context/output envelope but has not been latency-measured here.\n\n## Verified selector notes (current catalog)\n\nObserved via live `skc -p` calls; useful when wiring the profiles above:\n\n- **Antigravity Gemini, high reasoning** → use `google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro-low:high`. The id `gemini-3.1-pro-high` returns HTTP 400 (no matching backend model); `thinkingLevel` is a per-request parameter, so raising it on `gemini-3.1-pro-low` invokes the model's native high-reasoning mode rather than a degraded one.\n- **openai-codex on a ChatGPT account** serves base GPT only (`gpt-5.5`, `gpt-5.4`). Standalone `-codex` variants (`gpt-5.3-codex`, `gpt-5.2-codex`, `gpt-5.1-codex-max` / `-mini`) return `not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account`.\n- **Single-message input limit is separate from the context window.** Measured on `claude-opus-4-8` (not yet re-measured on `claude-opus-5`, which publishes the same 1M window): the model runs with a 1M window via multi-turn accumulation, but a single `@file` message above ~400k tokens returns 400 on `anthropic` / `google-antigravity`; `xai` / `opencode-go` accept larger single messages. Chunk very large inputs across turns instead of pasting one block.\n- **Some selectors come from a provider's live catalog, not the bundled snapshot.** `opencode-go/glm-5.2` and `google-antigravity/gemini-3.5-flash` resolved in `skc -p` tests but are **not** in `packages/ai/src/models.json`; they appear only after the provider's online model discovery has populated the registry. `required_providers` verifies credentials at activation — it does **not** guarantee fresh, non-stale discovery — so activation can still fail with `selector did not resolve` until discovery runs (re-login or retry to refresh). If you hit that, substitute a bundled id: `opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro` for the critic, or `zai/glm-5.2` (add `zai` to `required_providers`) for GLM 5.2.\n\n## Activation\n\n```bash\nskc --mpreset daily               # this session only\nskc --mpreset ultimate --default  # persist as the startup default (config.yml)\n```\n\nActivation hard-blocks when any provider in `required_providers` lacks credentials, so log in first: `/login anthropic`, `/login openai-codex`, `/login google-antigravity`, `/login xai` (and `opencode-go` via `OPENCODE_API_KEY`).\n",
+	"models.md": "# Model and Provider Configuration (`models.yml`)\n\nThis document describes how the coding-agent currently loads models, applies overrides, resolves credentials, and chooses models at runtime.\n\n## What controls model behavior\n\nPrimary implementation files:\n\n- `src/config/model-registry.ts` — loads built-in + custom models, provider overrides, runtime discovery, auth integration\n- `src/config/model-resolver.ts` — parses model patterns and selects models for the default and agent roles\n- `src/config/settings-schema.ts` — model-related settings (`modelRoles`, provider transport preferences)\n- `src/session/auth-storage.ts` — API key + OAuth resolution order\n- `packages/ai/src/models.ts` and `packages/ai/src/types.ts` — built-in providers/models and `Model`/`compat` types\n\n## Config file location and legacy behavior\n\nDefault config path:\n\n- `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`\n\nLegacy behavior still present:\n\n- If `models.yml` is missing and `models.json` exists at the same location, it is migrated to `models.yml`.\n- Explicit `.json` / `.jsonc` config paths are still supported when passed programmatically to `ModelRegistry`.\n\n## `models.yml` shape\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  <provider-id>:\n    # provider-level config\nequivalence:\n  overrides:\n    <provider-id>/<model-id>: <canonical-model-id>\n  exclude:\n    - <provider-id>/<model-id>\n```\n\n`provider-id` is the canonical provider key used across selection and auth lookup.\n\n`equivalence` is optional and configures canonical model grouping on top of concrete provider models:\n\n- `overrides` maps an exact concrete selector (`provider/modelId`) to an official upstream canonical id\n- `exclude` opts a concrete selector out of canonical grouping\n\n## Provider-level fields\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  my-provider:\n    baseUrl: https://api.example.com/v1\n    apiKey: MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    headers:\n      X-Team: platform\n    authHeader: true\n    auth: apiKey\n    disableStrictTools: false  # set true for Anthropic-compatible endpoints that reject the strict field\n    cacheRetention: short  # none | short | long; model entries and modelOverrides can override this\n    discovery:\n      type: ollama\n    modelOverrides:\n      some-model-id:\n        name: Renamed model\n        cacheRetention: long\n    models:\n      - id: some-model-id\n        name: Some Model\n        api: openai-completions\n        reasoning: false\n        input: [text]\n        cost:\n          input: 0\n          output: 0\n          cacheRead: 0\n          cacheWrite: 0\n        contextWindow: 128000\n        maxTokens: 16384\n        headers:\n          X-Model: value\n        cacheRetention: none\n        thinking:\n          minLevel: low\n          maxLevel: xhigh\n          mode: effort\n          defaultLevel: high\n          levels: [low, medium, high, xhigh]\n        compat:\n          supportsStore: true\n          supportsDeveloperRole: true\n          supportsReasoningEffort: true\n          maxTokensField: max_completion_tokens\n          openRouterRouting:\n            only: [anthropic]\n          vercelGatewayRouting:\n            order: [anthropic, openai]\n          extraBody:\n            gateway: m1-01\n            controller: mlx\nmodelBindings:\n  modelRoles:\n    default: my-provider/some-model-id:high\n  agentModelOverrides:\n    executor: my-provider/some-model-id\n```\n\n### Allowed provider/model `api` values\n\n- `openai-completions`\n- `openai-responses`\n- `openai-codex-responses`\n- `azure-openai-responses`\n- `bedrock-converse-stream`\n- `anthropic-messages`\n- `bedrock-converse-stream`\n- `google-generative-ai`\n- `google-vertex`\n- `google-gemini-cli`\n- `ollama-chat`\n- `cursor-agent`\n\n\n### First-class Azure OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock examples\n\nAzure OpenAI uses canonical OpenAI model IDs in SKC and resolves those IDs to Azure deployment names at request time. Set `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME_MAP` to avoid assuming model id equals deployment name:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  azure-openai:\n    baseUrl: https://my-resource.openai.azure.com/openai/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY\n    api: azure-openai-responses\n    models:\n      - id: gpt-4.1\n      - id: o3\n```\n\n```sh\nexport AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME_MAP='gpt-4.1=gpt-41-prod,o3=o3-reasoning-prod'\n```\n\nAmazon Bedrock uses the native `bedrock-converse-stream` transport and AWS credential chain auth. Do not put AWS access keys in `models.yml`; configure `AWS_REGION` / `AWS_PROFILE` or standard static AWS credential environment variables instead:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  amazon-bedrock:\n    baseUrl: https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\n    api: bedrock-converse-stream\n    models:\n      - id: us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1\n      - id: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0\n```\n\n### MiniMax and GLM custom provider examples\n\nFor common MiniMax and GLM/zAI setup, prefer the provider presets so the OpenAI-compatible API, base URL, env var, model id, and compatibility flags are written together:\n\n```sh\nskc setup provider --preset minimax\nskc setup provider --preset minimax-cn\nskc setup provider --preset glm\nskc setup provider --preset alibaba-token-plan\n```\n\nThe same presets are available inside the TUI:\n\n```text\n/provider add --preset minimax\n/provider add --preset glm\n/provider add zai\n/provider add --preset alibaba-token-plan\n```\n\nPresets only write `models.yml` entries that reference documented environment variable names (`MINIMAX_CODE_API_KEY`, `MINIMAX_CODE_CN_API_KEY`, `ZAI_API_KEY`, or `ALIBABA_TOKEN_PLAN_API_KEY`); they do not store or validate real credentials. The GLM preset aliases (`glm`, `zai`, `z-ai`) write an OpenAI-compatible custom provider named `glm-proxy` and do not replace the first-class `zai` provider. The Alibaba Token Plan preset (aliases: alibaba, token-plan) writes an OpenAI-compatible custom provider named alibaba-token-plan with per-model API routing (qwen3.8-max-preview uses openai-responses; glm-5.2 and deepseek-v4-pro use openai-completions).\n\n## Model profiles (`--mpreset`)\n\nModel profiles are optional top-level `profiles:` entries in `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`. A profile can require provider credentials before activation and can map one or more model roles; omitted roles inherit from the active defaults.\n\n> See also: [Cross-vendor role-based profiles](./multi-vendor-profiles.md) — a curated multi-vendor `profiles:` recipe and verified selector notes that build on the mechanism described here.\n\n```yaml\nprofiles:\n  team-standard:\n    required_providers: [openai, anthropic]\n    model_mapping:\n      default: openai/gpt-5.2\n      executor: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6:medium\n      architect: openai/o3:high\n      planner: openai/o3:high\n      critic: openai/o3:high\n```\n\n`model_mapping` keys are role names (`default`, `executor`, `architect`, `planner`, `critic`). Each role maps to exactly one model selector in the form `provider/modelId[:effort]`; comma-separated fallback chains are not supported in a single role value.\n`required_providers` is the aggregate set of providers required across the profile's mapped roles, not a per-role fallback chain.\n\nBuilt-in profiles are grouped by provider mix and tier:\n\n- `codex-{eco,medium,pro}` — all roles on `openai-codex/gpt-5.5`, differing only by per-role reasoning effort\n- `opencodego` — single OpenCode Go preset (Kimi default, DeepSeek executor/architect, Qwen planner, MiMo critic)\n- `claude-opus` — Anthropic OAuth preset centered on `claude-opus-5`\n- `claude-opus-5-5` — Anthropic preset centered on `claude-opus-5-5` (`xhigh` default, `max` architect, `high` critic, `medium` planner, `claude-sonnet-5` executor). Recommended automatically after an Anthropic login; `claude-opus` stays available for the Opus 5 cost/effort shape.\n- Single-provider tiers: `glm-{eco,medium,pro}`, `kimi-coding-plan-{eco,medium,pro}`, `mimo-{eco,medium,pro}`, `grok-{eco,medium,pro}`, `cursor-{eco,medium,pro}`, `minimax-{eco,medium,pro}`\n- Combos: `opus-codex` (Claude main agent with Codex support roles), `codex-opencodego` (Codex orchestrator/architect with OpenCode Go workers)\n\nThe `eco`, `medium`, and `pro` Codex profile mappings are current product judgments: Eco assigns Terra low/Luna low/Luna high/Terra xhigh/Terra high to default/executor/planner/critic/architect; Medium assigns Sol low/Terra low/Terra high/Sol xhigh/Sol high; and Pro assigns Sol medium/Terra medium/Sol high/Sol max/Sol xhigh. `opus-codex` retains the Medium Codex executor, critic, and architect roles but uses `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` for planner; `codex-opencodego` retains the Medium Codex default and architect roles; and `fable-opus-codex` uses the Pro Codex executor and architect roles with `anthropic/claude-opus-5:medium` for planner. The descriptive repeated local exact-edit evidence informs only selected executor-style TypeScript tasks; it does not evaluate or prove default, planner, architect, or critic performance. See [GPT-5.6 Codex preset benchmark](./gpt-5.6-codex-preset-benchmark.md). Effort suffixes are clamped to each model's supported thinking range at preview and activation time. Single-provider tiers pin each provider's current flagship (`zai/glm-5.2`, `kimi-code/kimi-k2.7-code`, `xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro`, `xai/grok-4.3`, `cursor/composer-1.5`, `minimax-code/minimax-m3`). User-defined profiles override built-ins by exact profile name.\n\n\nUse `skc --mpreset <name>` to activate a profile for the current session only. Activation hard-blocks when any provider listed in `required_providers` lacks credentials. Add `--default` to persist the selected profile as `modelProfile.default` in `config.yml`, so it applies at startup:\n\n```sh\nskc --mpreset codex-medium\nskc --mpreset opencodego --default\n```\n\nThe `/model` command opens to a preset landing view: presets are grouped by provider with live auth marks (✓/✗), highlighting a group expands its tiers, and selecting a tier shows the full role→model preview before applying for the session or as default. Typing jumps straight to model search, and `Browse all models` opens the classic tabbed model selector. In `/login`, `Add custom provider` is the first option for configuring credentials needed by custom or profile-required providers; after a successful provider login, the matching preset is recommended automatically.\n\nMiniMax's OpenAI-compatible endpoint rejects multiple system messages and emits thinking in `reasoning_content`, so pin the public-safe compatibility fields when hand-authoring a custom provider:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  minimax-custom:\n    baseUrl: https://api.minimax.io/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: MINIMAX_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    compat:\n      supportsStore: false\n      supportsDeveloperRole: false\n      supportsReasoningEffort: false\n      reasoningContentField: reasoning_content\n    models:\n      - id: MiniMax-M2.5\n```\n\nGLM via z.ai is available as the first-class `zai` provider. For a private GLM-compatible proxy, keep secrets in an env var and disable OpenAI-only request fields as needed:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  glm-proxy:\n    baseUrl: https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4\n    apiKeyEnv: ZAI_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    compat:\n      supportsDeveloperRole: false\n      supportsReasoningEffort: false\n    models:\n      - id: glm-4.6\n```\n### Allowed auth/discovery values\n\n- `auth`: `apiKey` (default), `none`, or `oauth`; for `models.yml` custom models, `oauth` is accepted by schema but does not waive the `apiKey` requirement\n- `models.yml` is strict: unknown provider/model keys fail validation before provider dispatch, so stale keys such as `requestTransform` or `wireModelId` only work where this document lists them.\n- `discovery.type`: `ollama`, `llama.cpp`, `lm-studio`, `omlx`, `sglang`, or `openai-models-list`\n- `cacheRetention`: `none`, `short`, or `long`; request-time options win over model/modelOverride values, then provider values, then `SKC_CACHE_RETENTION`, then the runtime default. The runtime default is `short` for most providers, but the Anthropic provider defaults to `long` (`ttl: \"1h\"`) because the ~5m default is too fragile for long-running subagent workflows. The 1h marker is only emitted on the canonical Anthropic API (`api.anthropic.com`) for models advertising `supportsLongCacheRetention`; proxies, gateways, and incapable models fall back to the default ephemeral (~5m) breakpoint. For OpenAI Responses, this controls `prompt_cache_retention` only; it does not disable `prompt_cache_key` when a stable session id exists.\n\n## OpenAI-compatible proxy configuration\n\nOpenAI-compatible proxy providers should use schema-supported provider keys first:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  proxy-provider:\n    baseUrl: https://api.proxy.example/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: PROXY_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    auth: apiKey\n    headers:\n      User-Agent: curl/8.7.1\n    models:\n      - id: local-gpt\n        name: Local GPT\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text]\n        cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }\n        contextWindow: 400000\n        maxTokens: 128000\n```\n\nUse provider-level `headers` for proxy-required headers. Keep the provider `api` set to `openai-completions` when the proxy exposes Chat Completions-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` semantics. `auth: apiKey` sends the resolved token as bearer auth; use `auth: none` only for trusted local/no-auth endpoints.\n\n`input` is the model modality list SKC uses to decide whether image content is forwarded. When a custom model omits `input`, SKC defaults to `[text]` (unless a bundled model with the same id contributes a reference). Vision-capable upstream models therefore need an explicit `input: [text, image]`; otherwise `read`/tool images are stripped before the request and replaced with `[image omitted: model does not support vision]`, even if the remote model can see images.\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  ali:\n    baseUrl: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: ALI_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    auth: apiKey\n    models:\n      # id-only → text-only; images will be omitted\n      - id: some-text-model\n      # vision-capable hosted model must declare image input\n      - id: qwen3.8-max-preview\n        name: Qwen3.8 Max Preview\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text, image]\n```\n\n`requestTransform` and `wireModelId` remain supported for request-body shaping, but they are not needed for ordinary OpenAI-compatible proxies whose local model id is already the upstream wire id. Unknown config keys fail validation before a provider request is sent.\n\nWhen request shaping is needed:\n\n- `requestTransform.profile: openai-proxy` strips OpenAI SDK/Stainless telemetry and beta headers at final fetch time and sets a generic SKC user agent.\n- `stripHeaders` replaces the preset strip list when provided.\n- `setHeaders` is applied after stripping; use `null` to remove a header.\n- `extraBody` is shallow-merged into the JSON request body after provider compatibility fields; core transport keys such as `model`, `messages`/`input`, `stream`, `tools`, and `tool_choice` are protected and ignored.\n- Model-level `requestTransform` overrides provider-level fields and shallow-merges `setHeaders`/`extraBody`.\n- `wireModelId` changes only the upstream request body model id; local selection still uses `provider/id`.\n\n### Layofflabs-style proxy example\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  layofflabs:\n    baseUrl: https://api.layofflabs.com/v1\n    apiKeyEnv: OPENAI_API_KEY\n    api: openai-completions\n    auth: apiKey\n    headers:\n      User-Agent: curl/8.7.1\n    models:\n      - id: gpt-5.5\n        name: GPT 5.5 via Layofflabs\n        reasoning: true\n        thinking:\n          minLevel: low\n          maxLevel: xhigh\n          mode: effort\n          defaultLevel: high\n          levels: [low, medium, high, xhigh]\n        input: [text]\n        cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }\n        contextWindow: 400000\n        maxTokens: 128000\n\nmodelBindings:\n  modelRoles:\n    default: layofflabs/gpt-5.5:high\n  agentModelOverrides:\n    executor: layofflabs/gpt-5.5:high\n```\n\n## Validation rules (current)\n\n### Full custom provider (`models` is non-empty)\n\nRequired:\n\n- `baseUrl`\n- `apiKey` unless `auth: none`\n- `api` at provider level or each model\n\n### Override-only provider (`models` missing or empty)\n\nMust define at least one of:\n\n- `baseUrl`\n- `headers`\n- `compat`\n- `requestTransform`\n- `disableStrictTools`\n- `modelOverrides`\n- `discovery`\n\n### Discovery\n\n- `discovery` requires provider-level `api`.\n\n### Model value checks\n\n- `id` required\n- `contextWindow` and `maxTokens` must be positive if provided\n- unknown provider, model, override, and request-transform keys fail schema validation; remove stale keys instead of relying on them being ignored.\n\n## Merge and override order\n\nModelRegistry pipeline (on refresh):\n\n1. Load built-in providers/models from `@sayknow-cli/ai`.\n2. Load `models.yml` custom config.\n3. Apply provider overrides (`baseUrl`, `headers`, `requestTransform`, `disableStrictTools`, `cacheRetention`) to built-in models.\n4. Apply `modelOverrides` (per provider + model id).\n5. Merge custom `models`:\n   - same `provider + id` replaces existing\n   - otherwise append\n6. Load cached/runtime-discovered models (Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, plus built-in provider managers), then re-apply model overrides.\n\n### Provider-model cache and static fingerprint\n\nCached per-provider model lists are persisted in the model-cache SQLite\ndatabase (schema v3) with a `static_fingerprint` column that hashes the\nstatic catalog slice merged into the row. When `resolveProviderModels`\nskips the network fetch and the fingerprint of the in-memory static\ncatalog matches the cached one, the cached rows are returned verbatim —\nthe static + dynamic merge is bypassed entirely. The fingerprint is\nmemoized per process via a WeakMap keyed by the static-models array\nreference, so repeated cold-start calls do not re-hash.\n\n## Canonical model equivalence and coalescing\n\nThe registry keeps every concrete provider model and then builds a canonical layer above them.\n\nCanonical ids are official upstream ids only, for example:\n\n- `anthropic-model-opus-4-6`\n- `anthropic-model-haiku-4-5`\n- `gpt-5.3-openai-code`\n\n### `models.yml` equivalence config\n\nExample:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  zenmux:\n    baseUrl: https://api.zenmux.example/v1\n    apiKey: ZENMUX_API_KEY\n    api: openai-codex-responses\n    models:\n      - id: openai-code\n        name: Zenmux OpenAI code\n        reasoning: true\n        input: [text]\n        cost:\n          input: 0\n          output: 0\n          cacheRead: 0\n          cacheWrite: 0\n        contextWindow: 200000\n        maxTokens: 32768\n\nequivalence:\n  overrides:\n    zenmux/openai-code: gpt-5.3-openai-code\n    p-openai-code/openai-code: gpt-5.3-openai-code\n  exclude:\n    - demo/openai-code-preview\n```\n\nBuild order for canonical grouping:\n\n1. exact user override from `equivalence.overrides`\n2. bundled official-id matches from built-in model metadata\n3. conservative heuristic normalization for gateway/provider variants\n4. fallback to the concrete model's own id\n\nCurrent heuristics are intentionally narrow:\n\n- embedded upstream prefixes can be stripped when present, for example `anthropic/...` or `openai/...`\n- dotted and dashed version variants can normalize only when they map to an existing official id, for example `4.6 -> 4-6`\n- ambiguous families or versions are not merged without a bundled match or explicit override\n\n### Canonical resolution behavior\n\nWhen multiple concrete variants share a canonical id, resolution uses:\n\n1. availability and auth\n2. `config.yml` `modelProviderOrder`\n3. existing registry/provider order if `modelProviderOrder` is unset\n\nDisabled or unauthenticated providers are skipped.\n\nSession state and transcripts continue to record the concrete provider/model that actually executed the turn.\n\nProvider defaults vs per-model overrides:\n\n- Provider `headers` are baseline.\n- Model `headers` override provider header keys.\n- `modelOverrides` can override model metadata (`name`, `reasoning`, `input`, `cost`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `headers`, `compat`, `contextPromotionTarget`).\n- `compat` is deep-merged for nested routing blocks (`openRouterRouting`, `vercelGatewayRouting`, `extraBody`).\n\n## Runtime discovery integration\n\n### Implicit Ollama discovery\n\nIf `ollama` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `ollama`\n- api: `openai-responses`\n- base URL: `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:11434`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery calls Ollama endpoints and normalizes discovered OpenAI-compatible models to `openai-responses`.\n\n### Implicit llama.cpp discovery\n\nIf `llama.cpp` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `llama.cpp`\n- api: `openai-responses`\n- base URL: `LLAMA_CPP_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery calls llama.cpp model endpoints and synthesizes model entries with local defaults.\n\n### Implicit LM Studio discovery\n\nIf `lm-studio` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `lm-studio`\n- api: `openai-completions`\n- base URL: `LM_STUDIO_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery fetches models (`GET /models`) and synthesizes model entries with local defaults.\n\n### Implicit oMLX discovery\n\nIf `omlx` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit OpenAI-compatible provider at `OMLX_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1`. Implicit discovery accepts only canonical HTTP(S) loopback URLs without userinfo, query, or fragment; redirects are refused. It discovers models through `GET /v1/models`, accepts `OMLX_API_KEY` when the loopback server requires one, and otherwise uses keyless local auth. Built-in macOS oMLX profiles select the reviewed served model ids and preserve role-specific thinking effort.\n\n### Implicit SGLang discovery\n\nIf `sglang` is not explicitly configured, its bundled OpenAI-compatible descriptor discovers models at trusted `SGLANG_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:30000/v1`. Credentialless implicit discovery accepts only HTTP(S) loopback origins, including normalized IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4-mapped loopback forms. Remote SGLang servers require an explicit provider configuration or a trusted base URL plus `SGLANG_API_KEY`; all endpoint URLs must omit userinfo, query, and fragment components, and project-local environment files cannot silently redirect implicit authenticated discovery.\n\n### Explicit provider discovery\n\nYou can configure discovery yourself:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  ollama:\n    baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:11434\n    api: openai-responses\n    auth: none\n    discovery:\n      type: ollama\n\n  llama.cpp:\n    baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8080\n    api: openai-responses\n    auth: none\n    discovery:\n      type: llama.cpp\n```\n\n### Extension provider registration\n\nExtensions can register providers at runtime (`pi.registerProvider(...)`), including:\n\n- model replacement/append for a provider\n- custom stream handler registration for new API IDs\n- custom OAuth provider registration\n\n## Auth and API key resolution order\n\nWhen requesting a key for a provider, effective order is:\n\n1. Runtime override (CLI `--api-key`)\n2. Stored API key credential in `agent.db`\n3. Stored OAuth credential in `agent.db` (with refresh)\n4. Environment variable mapping (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, etc.)\n5. ModelRegistry fallback resolver (provider `apiKey` from `models.yml`, env-name-or-literal semantics)\n\n`models.yml` `apiKey` behavior:\n\n- Value is first treated as an environment variable name.\n- If no env var exists, the literal string is used as the token.\n\nIf `authHeader: true` and provider `apiKey` is set, models get:\n\n- `Authorization: Bearer <resolved-key>` header injected.\n\nKeyless providers:\n\n- Providers marked `auth: none` are treated as available without credentials.\n- `getApiKey*` returns `kNoAuth` for them.\n\n### Broker mode\n\nWhen `SKC_AUTH_BROKER_URL` (or `auth.broker.url`) is set, the local SQLite credential store is replaced by `RemoteAuthCredentialStore`. Layers 2 and 3 above (stored API key / OAuth in `agent.db`) are served from a broker-supplied snapshot whose `refresh` tokens are redacted; expiry triggers `POST /v1/credential/:id/refresh` on the broker rather than a local refresh.\n\n`AuthStorage.setConfigApiKey` lets a `models.yml` `apiKey` win over a broker-resolved OAuth token without overriding a runtime `--api-key`. See [`auth-broker-gateway.md`](./auth-broker-gateway.md) for the full broker / gateway design and env surface (`SKC_AUTH_BROKER_URL`, `SKC_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN`, `auth.broker.url`, `auth.broker.token`).\n\n## Model availability vs all models\n\n- `getAll()` returns the loaded model registry (built-in + merged custom + discovered).\n- `getAvailable()` filters to models that are keyless or have resolvable auth.\n\nSo a model can exist in registry but not be selectable until auth is available.\n\n## Runtime model resolution\n\n### CLI and pattern parsing\n\n`model-resolver.ts` supports:\n\n- exact `provider/modelId`\n- exact canonical model id\n- exact model id (provider inferred)\n- fuzzy/substring matching\n- glob scope patterns in `--models` (e.g. `openai/*`, `*sonnet*`)\n- optional `:thinkingLevel` suffix (`off|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh`)\n\n`--provider` is legacy; `--model` is preferred.\n\nResolution precedence for exact selectors:\n\n1. exact `provider/modelId` bypasses coalescing\n2. exact canonical id resolves through the canonical index\n3. exact bare concrete id still works\n4. fuzzy and glob matching run after the exact paths\n\n### Initial model selection priority\n\n`findInitialModel(...)` uses this order:\n\n1. explicit CLI provider+model\n2. first scoped model (if not resuming)\n3. saved default provider/model\n4. known provider defaults (e.g. OpenAI/Anthropic/etc.) among available models\n5. first available model\n\n### Role aliases and settings\n\nSupported model roles:\n\n- `default` plus the agent assignment targets `executor`, `architect`, `planner`, `critic`\n\nRole aliases like `pi/default` expand through `settings.modelRoles`. Each role value can also append a thinking selector such as `:minimal`, `:low`, `:medium`, or `:high`.\n\nIf a role points at another role, the target model still inherits normally and any explicit suffix on the referring role wins for that role-specific use.\n\nRelated settings:\n\n- `modelRoles` (record)\n- `enabledModels` (scoped pattern list)\n- `modelProviderOrder` (global canonical-provider precedence)\n- `providers.kimiApiFormat` (`openai` or `anthropic` request format)\n- `providers.openaiWebsockets` (`auto|off|on` websocket preference for OpenAI code provider transport)\n\n`modelRoles` may store either:\n\n- `provider/modelId` to pin a concrete provider variant\n- a canonical id such as `gpt-5.3-openai-code` to allow provider coalescing\n\nFor `enabledModels` and CLI `--models`:\n\n- exact canonical ids expand to all concrete variants in that canonical group\n- explicit `provider/modelId` entries stay exact\n- globs and fuzzy matches still operate on concrete models\n\nGlobal `enabledModels` and `disabledProviders` entries may also be scoped to a path prefix:\n\n```yaml\nenabledModels:\n  - anthropic-model-sonnet-4-5\n  - path: ~/work\n    models:\n      - anthropic/anthropic-model-opus-4-5\ndisabledProviders:\n  - ollama\n  - path: ~/private\n    providers:\n      - anthropic\n```\n\nString entries apply everywhere. Scoped entries apply when the current working directory is the configured path or one of its subdirectories. Use `path`, `paths`, `pathPrefix`, or `pathPrefixes`; use `models` for `enabledModels`, `providers` for `disabledProviders`, or `values` for either.\n\n## `/model` and `--list-models`\n\nBoth surfaces keep provider-prefixed models visible and selectable.\n\nThey now also expose canonical/coalesced models:\n\n- `/model` includes a canonical view alongside provider tabs\n- `--list-models` prints a canonical section plus the concrete provider rows\n\nSelecting a canonical entry stores the canonical selector. Selecting a provider row stores the explicit `provider/modelId`.\n\n### Assigning a model to a detailed use\n\nThe role rows in `/model` open a second level. The first level keeps its seven\nactions in their original order; picking `executor`, `architect`, `planner` or\n`critic` then offers **General (whole role)** plus the detailed uses that role\ncan actually run:\n\n| Role | Detailed uses |\n| --- | --- |\n| `planner`, `architect` | `backendArchitecture`, `frontendDesign` |\n| `executor` | `implementation`, `testing` |\n| `critic` | `review` |\n\n`default` has no detailed uses and still assigns in one keystroke. The two bulk\nrows write canonical role models only — they never touch detailed-use settings,\nbecause a \"set everything\" action that also rewrote five overrides could not be\nundone from the same menu.\n\nDetailed-use assignments persist to `task.modelRouting.specialtyModels`, a\nrecord whose keys are restricted to the five ids above; anything else is\nrejected by config validation. A row shows the model it already holds, and\n**Clear detailed-use overrides** removes only the entries belonging to that role.\n\nA saved detailed-use model is live immediately for any spawn that **declares**\nthat work (below). Saving one while `task.modelRouting.enabled` is `false` still\npersists it and says so; that switch only governs auto-detection.\n\n### How a subagent's model is chosen\n\nThere are two ways a detailed-use model reaches a spawn. The first is\ndeterministic and needs no switch; the second is a guess and only fires once\nthere are tiers configured for it to choose between.\n\n**Declared.** The `task` tool accepts `.specialty` per task — one of the five\nids above. When the user assigned a model to that specialty, the child runs on\nit. No classifier is consulted, `task.modelRouting.enabled` is not read, and no\nconfidence bar applies. The child leaves that model only when it **errors**:\nthe child session's fallback chain retries `fallback.maxAttempts` times on a\ntransport failure (429, 5xx, auth, quota) and then advances to the role's own\nchain composed behind it. The menu groups specialties under the roles that\nusually do that work, but the setting is one flat map, and a declared specialty\nignores that grouping on purpose: a frontend build delegated to `executor` with\n`specialty: \"frontendDesign\"` runs on the frontend model.\n\n**Auto-detected.** Without a declaration, routing needs\n`task.modelRouting.enabled` (on by default) **and** somewhere to route to: at\nleast two of `task.modelRouting.fastModel` / `balancedModel` / `deepModel`, or a\ndetailed-use entry, or the legacy `task.modelRouting.frontendModel`. The tiers\nare empty until you set them, so the default-on switch is a no-op for an\nunconfigured install. A single tier is not an axis — there is nowhere to move\nfrom it. It also needs typed decisions (`decisions.enabled`, on by default) and\na cheap model for the classifier to run on.\n\nOne classification runs per **child task**, not per `task` call. A batch shares\nan agent but not a workload, so an implementation slice and a test slice in the\nsame call are classified separately.\n\nEither way the result is dispatched as an ordered fallback chain, not a single\nmodel:\n\n1. the detailed-use model — declared, or picked by the classifier for a role that can run it\n2. the tier model, when the difficulty axis moved (auto-detected only)\n3. the role's own configured chain\n\nThe tail is always the role baseline, so a detailed-use model that cannot\nauthenticate still lands on something the role can actually run. A high-risk\nauto-detected assignment skips the detailed-use axis entirely and composes tier\nplus baseline only, because a lateral swap can move sideways into something\nweaker.\n\nReceipts record what the router **requested** separately from what the spawn ran\non. When the backend is an ordinary LLM it reports no probabilities at all, so\nthe receipt carries an ordinal clarity score and `calibrated: false` instead of\na fabricated confidence.\n\n## Context promotion (model-level fallback chains)\n\nContext promotion is an overflow recovery mechanism for small-context variants (for example `*-spark`) that automatically promotes to a larger-context sibling when the API rejects a request with a context length error. It is **off by default** (`contextPromotion.enabled` is `false`); opt in to enable it.\n\n### Trigger and order\n\nWhen a turn fails with a context overflow error (e.g. `context_length_exceeded`), `AgentSession` attempts promotion **before** falling back to compaction:\n\n1. If `contextPromotion.enabled` is true, resolve a promotion target (see below).\n2. If a target is found, switch to it and retry the request — no compaction needed.\n3. If no target is available, fall through to auto-compaction on the current model.\n\n### Target selection\n\nSelection is model-driven, not role-driven:\n\n1. `currentModel.contextPromotionTarget` (if configured)\n2. smallest larger-context model on the same provider + API\n\nCandidates are ignored unless credentials resolve (`ModelRegistry.getApiKey(...)`).\n\n### OpenAI code provider websocket handoff\n\nIf switching from/to `openai-codex-responses`, session provider state key `openai-codex-responses` is closed before model switch. This drops websocket transport state so the next turn starts clean on the promoted model.\n\n### Persistence behavior\n\nPromotion uses temporary switching (`setModelTemporary`):\n\n- recorded as a temporary `model_change` in session history\n- does not rewrite saved role mapping\n\n### Configuring explicit fallback chains\n\nConfigure fallback directly in model metadata via `contextPromotionTarget`.\n\n`contextPromotionTarget` accepts either:\n\n- `provider/model-id` (explicit)\n- `model-id` (resolved within current provider)\n\nExample (`models.yml`) for Spark -> non-Spark on the same provider:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n  openai-code:\n    modelOverrides:\n      gpt-5.3-openai-code-spark:\n        contextPromotionTarget: openai-code/gpt-5.3-openai-code\n```\n\nThe built-in model generator also assigns this automatically for `*-spark` models when a same-provider base model exists.\n\n## Compatibility and routing fields\n\nThe `compat` block on a provider or model overrides the URL-based auto-detection in `packages/ai/src/providers/openai-completions-compat.ts`. It is validated by `OpenAICompatSchema` in `packages/coding-agent/src/config/model-registry.ts` and consumed by every `openai-completions` transport (`packages/ai/src/providers/openai-completions.ts`). The canonical type is `OpenAICompat` in `packages/ai/src/types.ts`.\n\n`models.yml` accepts the following keys (all optional; unset falls back to URL detection):\n\nRequest shaping:\n\n- `supportsStore` — emit `store: false` on requests. Default: auto (off for non-standard endpoints).\n- `supportsDeveloperRole` — use the `developer` system role for reasoning models instead of `system`. Default: auto.\n- `sendSessionHeaders` — forward the agent session id as `session_id` and `x-session-id` request headers so OpenAI-compatible relays/proxies can do session-affinity routing and reuse a server-side prompt cache. Default: `false`. Caller-set `headers`/`requestTransform` values are never overwritten.\n- `supportsUsageInStreaming` — send `stream_options: { include_usage: true }` to receive token usage on streaming responses. Default: `true`.\n- `maxTokensField` — `\"max_completion_tokens\"` or `\"max_tokens\"`. Default: auto.\n- `supportsToolChoice` — emit the `tool_choice` parameter when the caller forces a specific tool. Default: `true`. Set `false` for endpoints that 400 on `tool_choice` (e.g. DeepSeek when reasoning is on).\n- `disableReasoningOnForcedToolChoice` — drop `reasoning_effort` / OpenRouter `reasoning` whenever `tool_choice` forces a call. Default: auto (Kimi/Anthropic-fronted endpoints).\n- `extraBody` — extra top-level fields merged into every request body (gateway hints, controller selectors, etc.).\n\nReasoning / thinking:\n\n- `supportsReasoningEffort` — accept `reasoning_effort`. Default: auto (off for zAI; on for Grok and OpenAI-compatible hosts that advertise it).\n- `reasoningEffortMap` — partial map from internal effort levels (`minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh`) to provider-specific strings (e.g. DeepSeek maps `xhigh -> \"max\"`).\n- `thinkingFormat` — request shape for thinking: `\"openai\"` (`reasoning_effort`), `\"openrouter\"` (`reasoning: { effort }`), `\"zai\"` (`thinking: { type: \"enabled\" }`), `\"qwen\"` (top-level `enable_thinking`), or `\"qwen-chat-template\"` (`chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking`). Default: `\"openai\"`.\n- `reasoningContentField` — assistant field carrying chain-of-thought: `\"reasoning_content\"`, `\"reasoning\"`, or `\"reasoning_text\"`. Default: auto.\n- `requiresReasoningContentForToolCalls` — assistant tool-call turns must round-trip the reasoning field (DeepSeek-R1, Kimi, OpenRouter when reasoning is on). Default: `false`.\n- `requiresAssistantContentForToolCalls` — assistant tool-call turns must include non-empty text content (Kimi). Default: `false`.\n\nTool / message normalization:\n\n- `requiresToolResultName` — tool-result messages need a `name` field (Mistral). Default: auto.\n- `requiresAssistantAfterToolResult` — a user message after a tool result needs an assistant turn in between. Default: auto.\n- `requiresThinkingAsText` — convert thinking blocks to text wrapped in `<thinking>` delimiters (Mistral). Default: auto.\n- `requiresMistralToolIds` — normalize tool-call ids to exactly 9 alphanumeric chars. Default: auto.\n- `supportsStrictMode` — accept the per-tool `strict` field on tool schemas. Default: conservative auto-detect per provider/baseUrl.\n- `toolStrictMode` — `\"all_strict\"` forces strict on every tool, `\"none\"` forces it off; unset keeps the existing per-tool mixed behavior.\n\nGateway routing (only applied when `baseUrl` matches the gateway):\n\n- `openRouterRouting.only` / `openRouterRouting.order` — provider routing on `openrouter.ai` (see <https://openrouter.ai/docs/provider-routing>).\n- `vercelGatewayRouting.only` / `vercelGatewayRouting.order` — provider routing on `ai-gateway.vercel.sh` (see <https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers/provider-options>).\n\nProvider-level `compat` is the baseline; per-model `compat` is deep-merged on top, with `openRouterRouting`, `vercelGatewayRouting`, and `extraBody` merged as nested objects.\n\n### Anthropic compatibility (`anthropic-messages`)\n\nFor `anthropic-messages` models the runtime uses a separate `AnthropicCompat` shape (`packages/ai/src/types.ts`). The `models.yml` schema currently exposes only the strict-tools opt-out as a top-level provider field (see below); the remaining Anthropic-side knobs (`disableAdaptiveThinking`, `supportsEagerToolInputStreaming`, `supportsLongCacheRetention`) are set by built-in catalog metadata and are not user-configurable from `models.yml`.\n\n### Strict tool schemas (`disableStrictTools`)\n\nAnthropic's API supports a `strict` field on tool definitions that forces the model to always follow the provided schema exactly.

It adds curated cross-vendor `profiles:` for `~/.skc/agent/models.yml` and verified selector notes on top of the mechanism in [Model profiles](./models.md#model-profiles---mpreset). Everything here is **user config**; it complements the built-in `--mpreset` presets and overrides a built-in only when it shares its exact name.\n\n> Selectors, prices, and \"axis leaders\" are catalog- and time-sensitive (selectors and prices observed 2026-07 on the current bundled catalog; the measured latency and single-message-limit notes below were observed 2026-06 on `claude-opus-4-8` and have not been re-measured on `claude-opus-5`). Re-verify any selector with `skc -p --no-session --no-tools --model <selector> \"Reply OK\"`.\n\n## The five roles\n\n`default` runs the main loop and most turns; `executor` / `architect` / `planner` / `critic` are the four bundled task agents, delegated only when the work calls for it.\n\n| Role | What it optimizes for |\n| --- | --- |\n| `default` | tool-calling reliability + honesty (it routes — its quality bounds the whole system) |\n| `executor` | real coding (SWE-bench Verified) |\n| `planner` | reasoning + sequencing (GPQA / ARC-AGI-2) |\n| `architect` | large-context + multimodal review |\n| `critic` | independent adversarial review (different family from what it reviews) |\n\n## Pick by what you subscribe to\n\n| You have | Use |\n| --- | --- |\n| **One vendor** | the built-in preset for that vendor — `claude-opus-5-5` or `claude-opus` (Anthropic), `codex-{eco,medium,pro}` (OpenAI/Codex), `opencodego` (OpenCode Go), or a single-vendor flagship tier (`zai/glm-5.2`, `kimi-code/...`, `xiaomi/...`, `xai/grok-4.6`, `minimax-code/...`). These already map all five roles inside one vendor. |\n| **Claude + Codex** | the built-in `opus-codex` (Claude main loop + Codex support roles). |\n| **Three or more / all five** | the cross-vendor profiles below — each role on its axis leader, `critic` kept cross-family. |\n\nThe single guiding rule across all of these: **keep `default` on the strongest router you have** (Anthropic Opus when available).

The id `gemini-3.1-pro-high` returns HTTP 400 (no matching backend model); `thinkingLevel` is a per-request parameter, so raising it on `gemini-3.1-pro-low` invokes the model's native high-reasoning mode rather than a degraded one.\n- **openai-codex on a ChatGPT account** serves base GPT only (`gpt-5.5`, `gpt-5.4`). Standalone `-codex` variants (`gpt-5.3-codex`, `gpt-5.2-codex`, `gpt-5.1-codex-max` / `-mini`) return `not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account`.\n- **Single-message input limit is separate from the context window.** Measured on `claude-opus-4-8` (not yet re-measured on `claude-opus-5`, which publishes the same 1M window): the model runs with a 1M window via multi-turn accumulation, but a single `@file` message above ~400k tokens returns 400 on `anthropic` / `google-antigravity`; `xai` / `opencode-go` accept larger single messages. Chunk very large inputs across turns instead of pasting one block.\n- **Some selectors come from a provider's live catalog, not the bundled snapshot.** `opencode-go/glm-5.2` and `google-antigravity/gemini-3.5-flash` resolved in `skc -p` tests but are **not** in `packages/ai/src/models.json`; they appear only after the provider's online model discovery has populated the registry. `required_providers` verifies credentials at activation — it does **not** guarantee fresh, non-stale discovery — so activation can still fail with `selector did not resolve` until discovery runs (re-login or retry to refresh). If you hit that, substitute a bundled id: `opencode-go/deepseek-v4-pro` for the critic, or `zai/glm-5.2` (add `zai` to `required_providers`) for GLM 5.2.\n\n## Activation\n\n```bash\nskc --mpreset daily               # this session only\nskc --mpreset ultimate --default  # persist as the startup default (config.yml)\n```\n\nActivation hard-blocks when any provider in `required_providers` lacks credentials, so log in first: `/login anthropic`, `/login openai-codex`, `/login google-antigravity`, `/login xai` (and `opencode-go` via `OPENCODE_API_KEY`).\n",
 	"native-ffi-optimization-policy.md": "# ADR: Native FFI Optimization Policy\n\n- Status: Accepted\n- Scope: `crates/pi-natives` algorithmic ports proposed for performance reasons\n- Related: [`porting-to-natives.md`](./porting-to-natives.md), [`natives-architecture.md`](./natives-architecture.md), [`natives-binding-contract.md`](./natives-binding-contract.md), [`cpu-hotspot-map.json`](./cpu-hotspot-map.json), [`hotspot-map-successor.md`](./hotspot-map-successor.md)\n\n## Decision\n\nA new native (Rust N-API / FFI) port proposed **to optimize a leftover hot path** does not land unless **all** of the following gates pass:\n\n1. **Corpus evidence** — a profiling-corpus trace shows the path has user-visible latency or RSS impact on a representative workload (not just a static complexity argument).\n2. **Self-time attribution** — a `profilerSelfTime` artifact identifies the proposed hotspot, **or** fallback-toggle evidence proves an end-to-end benefit without byte changes. Wall-clock proxy timing alone is never sufficient.\n3. **Measured FFI overhead** — the N-API call/marshalling overhead is measured against the JS/TS baseline, not assumed away.\n4. **Representative win** — a representative p50/p95 win exists on realistic inputs, not only microbenchmark seed results.\n5. **Byte parity** — a byte-identical corpus covers rendered, persisted, and provider-visible bytes for the changed path.\n6. **Operational cost** — fallback, packaging, and rollback costs are documented.\n\nThis policy governs **speculative algorithmic ports**. It does **not** re-litigate already-native platform/system surfaces (see [Scope boundary](#scope-boundary)).\n\n## Context\n\nThe CPU/memory hotspot program (Optimization Suites v1–v3, tracked in [`cpu-hotspot-map.json`](./cpu-hotspot-map.json)) is closed out. Its prioritization was a **static structural ranking** (algorithmic complexity × trigger frequency), and the map's own `method` field records that real CPU self-time was \"to be measured by the agreed profiling corpus during optimization.\" That corpus is being built separately; until its evidence exists, new native ports for leftover hotspots would repeat the same evidence gap.\n\nThe suites already produced concrete decisions that this policy codifies so they are not re-discovered:\n\n- **v2 (#530)** measured and **rejected the five remaining Rust port candidates** per the FFI cost gates after shipping only `diffLines` (H03) natively. Native overhead did not beat the JS/TS baseline for those candidates on realistic inputs.\n- **v3 (#558) rejected a native word-diff (H04)** \"without a fresh FFI gate\" — the TS fast paths were retained instead; a native port would need to re-clear gates 1–6 above.\n- **Hunt-Szymanski LCS (H05)** was implemented as a native/algorithmic replacement, then **reverted** because it produced byte-different rendered diffs (reproduced by red-team). Byte parity is the gate, not raw speed.\n- **The custom JSON length counter (H08)** was implemented, made exact, then **deleted** — an exact JS reimplementation was not faster than native `JSON.stringify`. \"More native\" is not automatically \"faster.\"\n\nThese four precedents share a root cause: a plausible algorithmic/native win that failed a real gate (cost, byte parity, or end-to-end benefit). The policy makes those gates a precondition rather than a post-hoc discovery.\n\n## Evidence taxonomy\n\nNative-port claims must classify their evidence using the same separated classes as the profiling corpus. These classes must never be conflated:\n\n- **`wallClockPhase`** — elapsed timing around a phase or operation. Useful for perceived-latency and regression detection; **insufficient** to confirm CPU self-time or to justify a port on its own.\n- **`processCpuUsage`** — `process.cpuUsage()` user/system deltas, optionally normalized by elapsed time. Indicates process-level CPU pressure; **cannot** attribute self-time to a specific hotspot.\n- **`profilerSelfTime`** — profiler (or equivalent sampled/trace) attribution of self-time to a function, module, or native symbol. **Required** before a hotspot may be called \"CPU-self-time confirmed.\"\n\nA native-optimization proposal that cites only `wallClockPhase` or `processCpuUsage` is **not** CPU-self-time confirmed and does not clear gate 2.\n\n## Approval checklist\n\nBefore opening a native-optimization PR, confirm and attach evidence for each:\n\n- [ ] Corpus trace shows user-visible latency or RSS impact for the path (gate 1).\n- [ ] `profilerSelfTime` artifact identifies the hotspot, **or** fallback-toggle before/after evidence proves end-to-end benefit without byte changes (gate 2).\n- [ ] FFI/marshalling overhead measured vs the JS/TS baseline in the same benchmark run (gate 3).\n- [ ] Representative p50/p95 win on realistic inputs, not only seeded microbench results (gate 4).\n- [ ] Byte-identical corpus covers rendered, persisted, and provider-visible bytes (gate 5).\n- [ ] Fallback, packaging (platform variants / embedded addon), and rollback costs documented (gate 6).\n\nIf any box is unchecked, keep the work in TypeScript or hold it as a tracked candidate; do not switch callsites. This mirrors the existing **Rule of thumb** in [`porting-to-natives.md`](./porting-to-natives.md): if native is not faster *and* behavior-compatible, do not switch callsites.\n\n## Scope boundary\n\nThis policy targets **speculative algorithmic ports**, not the established native surface. The following are **already native** by design and are explicitly out of scope (see `alreadyNativeExcluded` in [`cpu-hotspot-map.json`](./cpu-hotspot-map.json)):\n\n`grep`, `fd`/`glob`, text width/wrap/truncate/slice, syntax highlighting, HTML→Markdown, token counting, AST, summary, process/PTY/shell, SIXEL, clipboard, `Bun.hash.xxHash32/64`, and `JSON.parse`/`JSON.stringify`.\n\nThese are native because they are I/O, OS/process integration, or platform primitives — the criteria in [`porting-to-natives.md`](./porting-to-natives.md#when-to-port). Distinguishing them from algorithmic ports matters: a leftover algorithmic hotspot must clear gates 1–6, whereas adding a new OS/process/native-primitive binding follows the standard porting guide.\n\n## Consequences\n\n- New native algorithmic ports require profiling-corpus evidence and a measured cost gate before review; this slows speculative optimization but prevents byte-parity regressions and dead native code.\n- The default answer for a leftover hotspot is \"keep it in TypeScript\" until the corpus proves it matters.\n- Already-native platform/system primitives and new OS/process bindings are unaffected; they follow [`porting-to-natives.md`](./porting-to-natives.md) as before.\n- Reviewers can reject a native-optimization PR purely on a missing gate, citing this ADR, without re-deriving the rationale.\n\n## Follow-ups\n\n- Held native candidates (H04 word-diff, H05 LCS, and other v2-rejected candidates) stay held unless a future PR clears gates 1–6 with fresh corpus evidence.\n- When the profiling corpus lands, link its threshold/evidence ledger here so native-port proposals can cite concrete corpus artifacts.\n",
 	"natives-addon-loader-runtime.md": "# Natives Addon Loader Runtime\n\nThis document covers the runtime loader shipped by `@sayknow-cli/natives`: how `native/index.js` decides which `.node` file to require, how compiled-binary embedded payloads are extracted, and what startup failures report.\n\n## Implementation files\n\n- `packages/natives/native/index.js`\n- `packages/natives/native/loader-state.js`\n- `packages/natives/native/embedded-addon.js`\n- `packages/natives/scripts/embed-native.ts`\n- `packages/natives/package.json`\n\n## Scope and responsibility\n\nThe loader is intentionally narrow:\n\n- Build a platform/CPU-aware candidate list for addon filenames and directories.\n- Treat an embedded-addon manifest as the authoritative compiled-binary signal when present.\n- Optionally materialize an embedded addon into a versioned per-user cache directory.\n- Attempt candidates in deterministic order and return the first addon that `require(...)` loads.\n\nThe current loader does **not** run a separate `validateNative(...)` export-presence gate. API shape is provided by the generated N-API binding file (`native/index.d.ts`) and the loaded addon itself. A stale binary therefore normally fails as a missing property or native load error rather than as a custom \"missing exports\" validation error.\n\n## Runtime inputs and derived state\n\nAt module initialization, `native/index.js` computes:\n\n- **Platform tag**: `${process.platform}-${process.arch}` (for example `darwin-arm64`).\n- **Package version**: from `packages/natives/package.json`.\n- **Core directories**:\n  - `nativeDir`: package-local `packages/natives/native`.\n  - `execDir`: directory containing `process.execPath`.\n  - `versionedDir`: `<getNativesDir()>/<packageVersion>`.\n  - `userDataDir` fallback:\n    - Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%/skc` or `%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/skc`.\n    - Non-Windows: `~/.local/bin`.\n- **Natives cache root** (`getNativesDir()`):\n  - if `$XDG_DATA_HOME/skc` exists, `$XDG_DATA_HOME/skc/natives`;\n  - otherwise `~/.skc/natives`.\n- **Compiled-binary mode** (`detectCompiledBinary`): true if any of:\n  - embedded-addon manifest is non-null,\n  - `SKC_COMPILED` env var is set,\n  - `import.meta.url` contains Bun embedded markers (`$bunfs`, `~BUN`, `%7EBUN`).\n- **Variant override**: `SKC_NATIVE_VARIANT` (`modern`/`baseline` only; invalid values ignored).\n- **Selected variant**: explicit override, otherwise runtime AVX2 detection on x64 (`modern` if AVX2, else `baseline`).\n\n## Platform support and tag resolution\n\n`SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS` is fixed to:\n\n- `linux-x64`\n- `linux-arm64`\n- `darwin-arm64`\n- `win32-x64`\n\nUnsupported platforms are not rejected before probing. The loader first tries the computed candidate paths. If all fail and `platformTag` is unsupported, it throws an unsupported-platform error listing supported tags.\n\n## Variant selection (`modern` / `baseline` / default)\n\n### x64 behavior\n\n1. `SKC_NATIVE_VARIANT=modern|baseline` wins when valid.\n2. Otherwise AVX2 support is detected:\n   - Linux: scan `/proc/cpuinfo` for `avx2`.\n   - macOS: `sysctl -n machdep.cpu.leaf7_features`, then `machdep.cpu.features`.\n   - Windows: PowerShell `[System.Runtime.Intrinsics.X86.Avx2]::IsSupported`.\n3. AVX2 selects `modern`; unavailable or undetectable AVX2 selects `baseline`.\n\n### Non-x64 behavior\n\nNo variant suffix is used; the filename is `pi_natives.<platform>-<arch>.node`.\n\n### Filename construction\n\n`loader-state.js#getAddonFilenames` returns:\n\n- Non-x64 or no variant: `pi_natives.<tag>.node`\n- x64 + `modern`:\n  1. `pi_natives.<tag>-modern.node`\n  2. `pi_natives.<tag>-baseline.node`\n  3. `pi_natives.<tag>.node`\n- x64 + `baseline`:\n  1. `pi_natives.<tag>-baseline.node`\n  2. `pi_natives.<tag>.node`\n\nThe default unsuffixed fallback remains part of the x64 candidate list.\n\n## Candidate path construction and fallback ordering\n\n`resolveLoaderCandidates(...)` expands every filename across directories, then de-duplicates while preserving first occurrence order.\n\n### Non-compiled runtime\n\nFor each filename, candidates are:\n\n1. `<nativeDir>/<filename>`\n2. `<execDir>/<filename>`\n\n### Compiled runtime\n\nFor each filename, candidates are:\n\n1. `<versionedDir>/<filename>`\n2. `<userDataDir>/<filename>`\n3. `<nativeDir>/<filename>`\n4. `<execDir>/<filename>`\n\nAt load time, an extracted embedded candidate, when produced, is prepended ahead of these de-duplicated candidates.\n\n## Embedded addon extraction lifecycle\n\n`embedded-addon.js` is generated by `scripts/embed-native.ts`. The reset stub exports `embeddedAddon = null`. A populated manifest has:\n\n- `platformTag`\n- `version`\n- `files[]` entries with `variant`, `filename`, and `filePath`\n\nExtraction (`maybeExtractEmbeddedAddon`) runs only when:\n\n1. compiled-binary mode is true,\n2. `embeddedAddon` is non-null,\n3. manifest `platformTag` equals the runtime platform tag,\n4. manifest `version` equals the package version,\n5. a variant-appropriate embedded file exists.\n\nVariant file selection:\n\n- Non-x64: prefer `default`, then first available file.\n- x64 + `modern`: prefer `modern`, fallback to `baseline`.\n- x64 + `baseline`: require `baseline`.\n\nMaterialization:\n\n1.

 	"natives-architecture.md": "# Natives Architecture\n\n`@sayknow-cli/natives` is now a two-layer package around a loader:\n\n1. **CommonJS loader/package entrypoint** resolves and loads the correct `.node` addon and patches generated enum objects onto the export object.\n2. **Rust N-API module layer** implements the exported functions/classes and emits the generated TypeScript declarations.\n\nThis document is the foundation for deeper module-level docs. Performance-motivated native ports of leftover algorithmic hot paths are additionally gated by [`native-ffi-optimization-policy.md`](./native-ffi-optimization-policy.md).\n\n## Implementation files\n\n- `packages/natives/native/index.js`\n- `packages/natives/native/index.d.ts`\n- `packages/natives/native/loader-state.js`\n- `packages/natives/native/embedded-addon.js`\n- `packages/natives/scripts/build-native.ts`\n- `packages/natives/scripts/embed-native.ts`\n- `packages/natives/scripts/gen-enums.ts`\n- `packages/natives/package.json`\n- `crates/pi-natives/src/lib.rs`\n\n## Package entrypoint and public surface\n\n`packages/natives/package.json` points directly at generated native bindings:\n\n- `main`: `./native/index.js`\n- `types`: `./native/index.d.ts`\n- `exports[\".\"].types`: `./native/index.d.ts`\n- `exports[\".\"].import`: `./native/index.js`\n\nThere is no current `packages/natives/src` TypeScript wrapper layer. Consumers import functions/classes/enums directly from `@sayknow-cli/natives`; the type contract is the generated `native/index.d.ts` plus enum exports appended by `scripts/gen-enums.ts`.\n\nCurrent capability groups in the generated API include:\n\n- **Search/text/code primitives**: `grep`, `search`, `hasMatch`, `fuzzyFind`, `glob`, `astGrep`, `astEdit`, text width/slicing/wrapping/sanitization, syntax highlighting, token counting.\n- **Execution/process/terminal primitives**: `executeShell`, `Shell`, `PtySession`, process-tree helpers, key parsing.\n- **System/media/conversion primitives**: clipboard, image resize/encode/SIXEL, HTML-to-Markdown, macOS appearance/power helpers, work profiling, Windows ProjFS overlay helpers.\n\n## Loader layer\n\n`packages/natives/native/index.js` owns runtime addon selection and optional embedded extraction.\n\n### Candidate resolution model\n\n- Platform tag is `${process.platform}-${process.arch}`.\n- Supported tags are currently:\n  - `linux-x64`\n  - `linux-arm64`\n  - `darwin-arm64`\n  - `win32-x64`\n- x64 can use CPU variants:\n  - `modern` (AVX2-capable)\n  - `baseline` (fallback)\n- Non-x64 uses the default filename without a variant suffix.\n\nFilename strategy:\n\n- Default: `pi_natives.<platform>-<arch>.node`\n- x64 variant: `pi_natives.<platform>-<arch>-modern.node` or `...-baseline.node`\n- x64 runtime fallback includes the unsuffixed default filename after variant candidates.\n\n### Platform-specific variant detection\n\nFor x64, variant selection uses:\n\n- Linux: `/proc/cpuinfo`\n- macOS: `sysctl -n machdep.cpu.leaf7_features`, then `machdep.cpu.features`\n- Windows: PowerShell check for `System.Runtime.Intrinsics.X86.Avx2`\n\n`SKC_NATIVE_VARIANT` can force `modern` or `baseline`; invalid values are ignored.\n\n### Binary distribution and extraction model\n\n`packages/natives/package.json` publishes `native/`, which contains the loader, generated declarations, generated enum patch, embedded-addon manifest stub, and prebuilt `.node` artifacts.\n\nFor compiled binaries, loader behavior is:\n\n1. Check versioned user cache path: `<getNativesDir()>/<packageVersion>/...`.\n2. Check legacy compiled-binary location:\n   - Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%/skc` (fallback `%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/skc`)\n   - non-Windows: `~/.local/bin`\n3. Fall back to packaged `native/` and executable directory candidates.\n\n`getNativesDir()` uses `$XDG_DATA_HOME/skc/natives` when `$XDG_DATA_HOME/skc` exists; otherwise it uses `~/.skc/natives`.\n\nIf a populated embedded addon manifest is present, it is also treated as a compiled-binary signal. The loader can extract the matching embedded `.node` into the versioned cache directory before candidate probing.\n\n### Failure modes\n\nLoader failures are explicit:\n\n- **Unsupported platform tag**: after failed probing, throws with supported platform list.\n- **No loadable candidate**: throws with all attempted paths and remediation hints.\n- **Embedded extraction errors**: directory/write failures are recorded and included in final load diagnostics if no candidate loads.\n\nThe current loader does not perform a separate post-`require` export validation pass.\n\n## Rust N-API module layer\n\n`crates/pi-natives/src/lib.rs` declares exported module ownership:\n\n- `appearance`\n- `ast`\n- `clipboard`\n- `fd`\n- `fs_cache`\n- `glob`\n- `glob_util`\n- `grep`\n- `highlight`\n- `html`\n- `image`\n- `keys`\n- `language`\n- `power`\n- `prof`\n- `projfs_overlay`\n- `ps`\n- `pty`\n- `shell`\n- `task`\n- `text`\n- `tokens`\n- `utils` (crate-private helpers)\n\nN-API exports are generated from Rust `#[napi]` functions/classes/objects/enums. Snake_case Rust names are exposed as camelCase JavaScript names unless explicitly configured by napi-rs.\n\n## Ownership boundaries\n\n- **Loader/package ownership (`packages/natives/native`, `packages/natives/scripts`)**\n  - runtime binary selection\n  - CPU variant selection and override handling\n  - compiled-binary embedded extraction\n  - generated TypeScript declarations and enum export patching\n- **Rust ownership (`crates/pi-natives/src`)**\n  - algorithmic and system-level implementation\n  - platform-native behavior and performance-sensitive logic\n  - N-API symbol implementation consumed directly by package callers\n- **Consumer ownership (`packages/coding-agent`, `packages/tui`)**\n  - user-facing policy and fallbacks that are not built into the native API\n  - higher-level rendering, artifact, shell-session, and command behavior\n\n## Runtime flow (high level)\n\n1. Consumer imports from `@sayknow-cli/natives`.\n2. `native/index.js` computes platform/arch/variant and candidate paths.\n3. Optional embedded binary extraction occurs for compiled distributions.\n4. The first `require(candidate)` that succeeds becomes the exported addon object.\n5. Generated enum objects are appended to `module.exports`.\n6. Caller invokes generated N-API functions/classes directly.\n\n## Glossary\n\n- **Native addon**: A `.node` binary loaded via Node-API (N-API).\n- **Platform tag**: Runtime tuple `platform-arch` (for example `darwin-arm64`).\n- **Variant**: x64 CPU-specific build flavor (`modern` AVX2, `baseline` fallback).\n- **Generated binding declaration**: `native/index.d.ts` emitted by napi-rs during `build-native.ts`.\n- **Compiled binary mode**: Runtime mode where the CLI is bundled and native addons are resolved from embedded/cache paths before package-local paths.\n- **Embedded addon**: Build artifact metadata and file references generated into `native/embedded-addon.js` so compiled binaries can extract matching `.node` payloads.\n",
