Steering bubbles render as plain user bubbles; a mid-turn steer is
recognizable by its position in the flow. The runtime SteeringMessageNode
projection and pending-steering lifecycle are unchanged.
Partially supersedes the 2026-08-04 context-source and steer marks note;
the new simplification note owns the removal rationale.
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack
positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed
justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and
generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract
prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and
cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual
counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the
committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.
The chatFileMentions service (provided by ui-deliverables beside its
turn-tail entry, reached via ctx.get) resolves inline-code tokens in the
closing message against the turn's produced locations: exact path or
unique basename links, ambiguity and unknowns stay inert. MarkdownText
gains the optional fileMentions seam — settled renders only, never
inside anchors.
The pick target grows from the read-only textarea to the full capsule:
the card owns the click, its disabled controls let pointer events fall
through, and a dashed l4 stroke with a business-blue hover marks the
affordance (an SVG dash ring — native dashed has a fixed pattern). The
card contains pointerdown so the open picker's outside-close cannot
race the reopen, which flickered the chip's expansion echo.
**A hand-declared route must not offer a reasoning effort.** The earlier
commit read the create card's missing control as drift and added one. It
is the other way round: such a model has no reasoning capability — pi-ai's
installed catalog is what supplies one, and it ships nothing under the
route — so `resolveModel` throws UNSUPPORTED_REASONING_EFFORT for every
model on it and the whole provider drops out of the picker. Verified
against the adapter, not inferred. The create card no longer offers it and
the editor withholds it on the directory's `declared` bit, which is the
real bug: that control has always been wrong for these routes.
**A blocked composer locked the way out of the block.** Reusing the
no-workspace inert posture disabled the model seat along with everything
else, so the bar asked for a model while preventing the one control that
picks one. A block now rides its own `blocked` owner prop: the textarea,
send, commands, plan seat, and access chip all lock, and the model seat
alone stays live.
**A Provider ID could derive an illegal credential reference.** The card
accepted a digit-leading id, whose derived `123_API_KEY` then failed at
the credential seam with a raw regular expression the user cannot act on.
The id must now start with a letter, and a test pins the relation between
the two rules rather than the regex.
A default naming a route the Models page has since removed left the
composer saying 选择模型 while the input still accepted a message, which
then failed inside the adapter mid-turn.
`session.prompt` now refuses with `model-unavailable` before opening a
turn. That is the enforcement boundary: the method stays callable no
matter what a client disables. `session.models` reports the same fact as
`routable`, and ui-model pushes a block through the new
`ctx.conversation.blocks` registry so the bar renders the disabled
textarea it already renders without a workspace, carrying the blocker's
own reason. The push direction is forced — ui-model already depends on
ui-conversation, so ui-conversation cannot read it back.
The gate is `routable`, not "matches no advertised group": catalog
membership is advisory, so a route serving a model it stopped advertising
is missing from the groups yet perfectly usable, and `null` before the
first load never blocks so a slow Host cannot lock a working composer.
The scaffold gains a route-only adapter for fixture-less keyless
scenarios. Registering zero providers is a test artifact — every product
composition mounts one — and the goldens that froze the seat's fallback
label now show the model those scenarios actually route to.
ui-conversation now owns only the conversation.chat.turnTail hole; the row,
its derivation, and its copy live in @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-deliverables,
composed in or out by one cordis.yml line.
The branch control on user and consumed-steering bubbles could enable
only when a completed turn ended with no node after the message at all,
so readers saw a permanently unavailable control whose tooltip promised
a state it could not reach. An enabled one would mislead anyway: a fork
at a message seq cuts at the containing turn/end and takes the answer
along, the opposite of the branch-to-re-ask reading a control on one's
own bubble suggests.
MessageItem loses its fork props, PendingSteeringBubble loses the
showBranch special case, and messageBranchSeqs narrows to
assistantBranchSeqs: only a completed turn's transcript tail that is
the turn's own content-text assistant may fork. A steered turn keeps
its fork point under the settled answer, because fork is a log-prefix
cut and the steer is model-visible history the child inherits.
Web aria goldens drop the user-bubble disabled-branch row and its
hidden explanation text; the nested-subagent golden also loses the one
enabled user-tail fork handle, a loss the decision note accepts.
