The Models page could name a provider's key and little else. Adding an
OpenAI-compatible gateway meant opening $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml and
knowing the profile shape; correcting a stale context window meant the
same. This layer puts both on the page: a card that declares a route
pi-ai does not ship — id, endpoint, protocol, key, models — and a model
list on the pi-ai editor that can ask the provider what it serves and
adopt the answer.
It follows the DeepSeek catalog editor that landed in #1050 rather than
inventing a second look for the same job. Both editors now share the
section shell and heading, the danger-tinted delete, the add-model
button, the empty state, the per-row validator that names a bad row by
its position, and one K/M capacity vocabulary — 256K and 1M are read and
spelled back, while settings.yaml still stores plain token counts. The
row type is structurally open like that editor's, so a profile field
this card does not edit survives an edit here.
Three of that editor's decisions replaced weaker ones this branch had
made. Inheritance now reads the composition base rather than the
effective value, which would echo an override back the moment a reset
dropped it. Validation names the offending row instead of stating a
blanket problem. And emptying the list is no longer conflated with
handing the catalog back to the adapter — those are separate acts, with
separate affordances.
The create write carries the revision the card opened at, so a route
another tab declared meanwhile is a conflict rather than a silent
overwrite of its profile.
The Models page drops the generic schema renderer and the visible
environment-variable field: each editor is a curated per-family card whose
primary input is one write-only API key stored under a derived
<ROUTE>_API_KEY reference (recorded as apiKeyEnv in the pi-ai profile), an
unkeyed whole-section provider opens as its setup card, and the collapsed
customized-settings fold carries baseURL/reasoningEffort (deepseek) or
reasoning (pi-ai). dsh-client-schema-form reduces to the schema/draft model
layer (no React).
apps/cli/cordis.yml gains settings-local, credentials-local, and the bare
dormant llm-pi-ai row (manifest deps added for the resolver contract);
llm-deepseek drops its !!js apiKey inline for per-request credential
resolution. Both adapters tag apiKeyEnv role('credential-ref') so the
form mounts the credential control. The web e2e scaffold isolates a
harness home per run — an in-process boot must never touch the
developer's real ~/.dsh — and the new models-settings scenario pins the
whole loop through the shipped app: dormant directory as add vocabulary,
schema-driven editor apply landing in settings.yaml, the route
registering live (topology frame), and a write-only key landing in the
temp .env with the configured badge converging. A hermetic test-owned
reference name keeps a developer's real provider keys from flipping the
badge. schema-form joins the platform module table (seed + externals)
so client bundles share one instance.
