Keep both Remote contributions master and this branch add: the mount loop
now carries commandsRemote, goalsRemote, pluginInventoryRemote, and
messageFeedbackRemote, with both new tsconfig references retained.
The declared-provider-catalog note still recorded modalities as closed
because "nothing reads them: context.ts keeps only text blocks" — the
same reasoning this change disproves. Rewrite that fact in place, keep
pricing closed for its own still-current reason, and cross-link both
directions.
The new resolver cases never crossed the config schema, so neither
acceptance path this change adds had an executable gate: config.spec.ts
now refuses an unknown modality at both levels, pins the empty route
list to the namespace validator the settings seam actually runs, and
pins the `[]` materialization the inheritance rule depends on. A
catalog.spec.ts case re-asserts every rung through a written settings
section and `ctx.llm`, which is what the note's Testing section claimed.
Also export PiAiModality from the package entry — it types two public
config fields and consumers could not name it — record the unverified
declaration as a Known Limitation, and stop sharing one fallback array
across a route's models.
A model the installed pi-ai catalog does not describe was reported as
text-only with no way to say otherwise, so a vision model added through
the custom-provider form was refused at every image admission point.
The justification in the source described the DeepSeek chat-completions
serializer, which does reject image blocks; the pi-ai request converter
and every wire protocol it speaks carry images.
Modalities now resolve entry `input` -> installed catalog entry -> route
`defaultInput`, the chain the two capacity fallbacks already use, so the
route value is a fallback and never narrows a catalog model. Its default
stays `[text]`: nothing can interrogate a gateway for its modalities, and
over-claiming admits an image the provider rejects mid-turn, after prompt
admission has already committed the message.
The navigation bar named `/guide/` while the manifest published the guide's
first page at `guide/quickstart.md`, so the item served a 404 in both locales.
`landingLink` resolves each item against `orderedPages`, the ordering the
sidebar already renders, and a test asserts every navigation target is a route
the manifest publishes.
The VitePress config declared no position for the subsystem or other-interface
sections, so `indexOf` returned -1 and sorted them ahead of every declared
group: the reference landing page's own sidebar entry sat 1549px below the
fold. Four subsystem pages also shared `order` values with pages in the same
section, resolved only by sort stability and array concatenation order.
Section placement and collapse move into the manifest as a per-locale
declaration, and `sectionSpec` throws for an undeclared section instead of
sorting it silently to the top. Subsystem pages are grouped by concern, the
six topical groups collapse until one holds the page being read, and page
order derives from array position.
The projector drops the language-switcher line and repository badge the
canonical pages carry for their GitHub readers. The navigation bar gains the
DeepSeek wordmark, a release-stage tag, and a favicon; the sidebar scrollbar
rests invisible and appears while scrolling. Subsystem pages carry a two-level
outline, and the two plugin-development tracks now cross-link.
