feat(settings): detect stale writers with a revision, and announce raw changes
The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.

## Problem
The plane worked and was reachable by more callers, and with more authority, than its design claimed.
`trustedHosts` gated only writes, so a declared LAN client could call `settings.describe` — every exposed namespace's configuration — and `credentials.describe` , which reports whether an arbitrary environment-variable name is configured and where it resolves from. That fence is a DNS-rebinding defense and says so; treating it as an authorization boundary for reads was a category error. Separately, the proxy served every registered namespace: the settings seam is deliberately general, so the first plugin to call `settings.register()` for its own configuration would silently become remotely readable and writable, without passing anywhere near a review of the web surface.
The editor was worse than reachable — it was destructive. It reads the redacted descriptor, which by construction omits `role('secret')` fields. Clearing one field rebuilt the whole user section from that redacted copy and sent `settings.replace` , so a stored literal `apiKey` the wire had never returned was deleted as a side effect. Reproduced directly: `{baseURL, reasoning}` in, `apiKey` gone. Row removal took the same path. And nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently overwrote each other; the seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes but cannot tell a fresh writer from one replaying a stale snapshot.
Three smaller defects sat beside them. `llm/adapters-updated` documented contained observer failures but only caught synchronous ones, so an async listener's rejection escaped as an unhandled rejection. llm-deepseek's retry-policy swap disposed its registration before re-registering, publishing an empty route set between the two — an observer saw the provider disappear and come back, despite a comment claiming no such window. And a transport rejection during the page's credential enrichment escaped `load()` , stranding the page in `loading` with no error shown.
## Decision
**Reading configuration is as privileged as writing it.** `settings.describe` and `credentials.describe` join the loopback-only set, so the whole configuration plane stays same-origin until real authentication exists. The model catalog (`llm.providers` , `llm.models` ) deliberately does not: it carries provider ids, display names, and model lists — no endpoints, no key state — and a LAN client's model picker needs it. The boundary is asserted over a real HTTP server rather than a hand-assembled request, because the `Host` header a browser actually sends is what decides it.
**The plane serves exactly the namespaces a registered model provider addresses.** `ctx.llm.listConfigurableProviders()` is the allow-list, so the product boundary is enforced rather than inferred from today's plugin set, and a future namespace becomes web-configurable only by joining that directory. An unregistered namespace and an unexposed one answer identically (`settings-not-exposed` ), so probing cannot enumerate the registry.
**A caller with a partial view names the field it means.** `Settings.mutate(ns, ops)` applies `set` /`unset` path ops to the section as it stands at the front of the write queue. The client builds ops by diffing its opening snapshot against its draft, so it mentions only fields it can see: a secret absent from both sides produces no op and survives by construction, not by care. `replace` remains the deliberate wholesale reset.
**Staleness is detected, not ordered away.** Each namespace carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section; writes may carry `expectedRevision` , and a mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the wire, both revisions attached. The editor captures the revision it opened at and, on conflict, tells the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
docs: state the Host-face rule for the browser e2e and settle the follow-ups
apps/web/tests/README.md records why these e2e type-check in the Host aggregate
and why importing a Client package there pulls its project tree into the Host
build graph, with mirroring as the standing answer. The Agent Note drops the
directory-picker face split (assessed and declined) and the grep-level gate in
favour of that README.
docs: regenerate the catalogs and retarget the moved declarations
The forwarded-event change moved three owner packages' cordis `Events`
declarations and their branded types into client-safe `./types` modules, and
the settings-scope split moves the shell spec into ui-settings-general. Point
the type-equivalence manifest and the affected Agent Note at those homes,
register the new `remote/*` event scope and the `ctx.settingsScope` service in
the catalog partition, and re-run the generators.
`$on` joins the documented `TypeRTClientRemote` surface, and the two Agent Note
fences that quote a bare member signature are marked `ignore-check`: they are
declaration fragments, not compilable units.
refactor(client): make ui-settings the settings domain's base layer
The settings-namespace transport lived in client/runtime, where every feature
could value-import it because runtime is a platform module. It belongs to the
settings domain, but moving it into ui-settings as a shared function fails
twice: the client bundle purity gate forbids cross-plugin value imports, and
ui-settings reached ui-sidebar for its shell, so any feature depending on it
closed a cycle through ui-layout and ui-theme.
Both halves move. `ctx.settingsScope` is now a cordis service — the
collaboration shape the purity gate prescribes, and the service proxy binds
`this.ctx` to the caller, so a bound scope's disposer belongs to the calling
fiber. The shell ui-settings used to own (the `sidebar.settings` occupant, its
navigation, and the nav-row projection) moves to ui-settings-general, which
already owns the chrome and the General section. What stays in ui-settings is
what carries no `ui-*` dependency: the scope service and the canonical settings
slot types, `settings.general.item` included. That type was parked in the locale
package precisely because the declarer was unreachable without a cycle; every
registrant now depends on this base layer, so it comes home.
The scope CONTRACT stays in client/runtime: a feature service accepts a scope
through its own signature without depending on the surface that binds it.
The forwarded settings invalidation replaces the deleted client-side
`settings/changed` event, so the transport reads `ctx.remote.$on`. It reaches
`$on` through the gateway's Client half plus the allowlist's type-only subpath
rather than api-remotes' Client face: that face imports a Host-tsdown-generated
artifact, and this package is reachable from the Host build graph through its
callers.
refactor(client): reach the settings transport through ctx.settingsScope
Every feature that owns a preference row switches from value-importing a shared
binder to the settings domain's service, and declares the two injections that
binding needs: `settingsScope` for the transport and `remote` for the forwarded
invalidation it subscribes to on the caller's own context.
The rows stay with the features that own the preferences — Language with locale,
Appearance with ui-theme, Composer Enter with ui-conversation. Only their route
to the transport changes, so no settings surface moves and no feature gains a
dependency on the shell.
The `settings.general.item` slot type now arrives from ui-settings, the base
layer every registrant already depends on, which retires the re-export outlet
ui-theme kept and the parked declaration in the locale package.
client/runtime drops its settings-form and schemastery dependencies with the
transport that used them.
test(client): bind the settings transport in the specs that boot a preference row
Every bench that activates a plugin owning a preference row now supplies the two
services that plugin injects: the forwarded-event port and the scope service.
Specs that exercise no settings path get the minimal doubles; the ones that do
drive their refresh chains through `remote/host-event`, the same signal
client/runtime republishes from a forwarded frame, replacing the deleted
client-side `settings/changed` event.
Also fixes a publication defect the built-invariant gate catches once it runs:
api-remotes' invariant companion shared the allowlist module with the package
index, so rolldown hoisted it into a third chunk beside the two bundled entries
— a file the mechanically derived publication list does not carry, leaving an
installed companion unable to import it. The companion now reads the allowlist
through this package's own published `./types` subpath, which the bundle keeps
external, so each entry stays self-contained.
The dynamic-subscription cast in apiproxy is gone: after the vendored cordis
rescope, `on` accepts the rest-parameter handler directly, and the allowlist's
shape assertion still carries the safety argument.
fix(client): carry the settings-scope move across the release manifests
Rebasing onto the publishable release set replaced every manifest's dependency
block, so the packages this change touches restate their additions in the
workspace-protocol form: the base layer's own transport dependencies, and the
`ui-settings` plus `remote` edges each preference-row owner now needs.
ui-settings-general takes clsx with the shell it received, and client/runtime
drops the settings-form and schemastery dependencies that left with the
transport.
fix(api-gateway): give each $on subscription its own registration and containment
Two defects in the forwarded-event subscription table, both raised in review:
A set keyed on listener identity stored one entry when two callers subscribed the
same function object to the same event, so the first frame reached it once instead
of twice and either disposer silenced the surviving registration. Subscriptions are
now records addressed by registration, which is what "the disposer belongs to the
calling fiber" requires.
A listener declared void may still be `async`, and the synchronous `try/catch`
could not see its rejection: the promise was dropped and surfaced as an unhandled
rejection outside the documented containment. Delivery now attaches a rejection
handler when a listener returns a promise, so both failure modes are logged and
isolated alike.
Delivery also iterates a snapshot, so a listener that subscribes or disposes during
a frame no longer changes who receives that frame, and production matches the
TestRemote double instead of relying on live Set iteration order.
Both fixes are pinned by tests that fail against the previous implementation. The
double gains its own spec for the `$mount` refusal and the unsubscribed-name drop —
per-file coverage reaches it — plus a note that it propagates a throwing listener
where production contains one, so no spec mistakes it for the containment guarantee.
Three prose corrections: `assertJsonArgs` states where its throw actually surfaces
(the emitter's listener containment, not load or emit time), the browser e2e README
names every standing Client import rather than claiming one exception, and two
comments and a test title state the forwarded event instead of the deleted
client-side one.
refactor(remote): deliver forwarded frames through ctx.remote.$dispatch
The carrier used to relay each decoded frame over an internal
`remote/host-event` cordis event so the delivery port could stay off the Remote
contract. The relay was the wrong shape twice over: it put a client-face event
into a scan whose subject is the Host vocabulary, forcing a walk exemption for
something that is not a Host event at all, and it made a direct handoff between
two Client plugins look like a broadcast any plugin participates in.
`TypeRTClientRemote` now carries both roles of one surface — consumers subscribe
with `$on`, and whoever owns the Host frame sink hands frames over with
`$dispatch` — so client/runtime calls the Remote service directly and the event
declaration is gone. A cordis service method is the collaboration shape the
client bundle purity gate prescribes, and it needs no relay to satisfy it.
The trade is that the handoff is now developer-visible: any plugin holding
`ctx.remote` can synthesize a forwarded event. That is the exposure the relay
already had — `ctx.emit` was equally reachable — stated in the contract instead
of hidden behind a private subscriber.
runtime reaches `ctx.remote` through the gateway's Client face rather than
api-remotes': that face imports a Host-tsdown-generated artifact, and this
project sits in the Host build graph.
refactor(api-remotes): keep the allowlist value out of types.ts
`src/types.ts` carries only types by package convention, but it held the
forwarded-event array, so the type-only subpath published runtime code. The
array moves to `src/remote-events.ts` and `types.ts` derives its projection from
it; both compiler faces list both files, so the Host forwarding loop and the
consumer key face still read one declaration and the package's exports are
unchanged.
The invariant companion returns to an empty installer. Its dispatch-shape check
was the only reason the companion imported the allowlist, which made the two
bundled entries share a module: rolldown hoisted it into a third chunk that the
mechanically derived publication list does not carry, so an installed companion
could not import it. Dropping the check retires that coupling along with the
subpath-import and bundle-external workarounds it needed, and the shape the
check enforced at runtime is the part the Host face's `TypeRTForwardableEvent`
assertion already refuses at compile time.
test(ui-task): bind the locale plugin's new injections in its bench
The bench boots the real locale plugin, which now injects the settings-scope
service and the forwarded-event port, so it stayed pending and left `ctx.locale`
undefined. Supplies both doubles like the other benches that boot a plugin
owning a preference row.
docs: close the documentation gates for the forwarded-event surface
Regenerates the two graph catalogs and re-records every bilingual pair this
branch edited. Several pairs needed real work beyond the record:
- The generators write only the English side, so the Chinese sides of
`event-producer-consumer` and `module-graph` had drifted: the former still
listed the three deleted client-face events and pointed at declaration sites
this branch moved into `types.ts` modules, and the latter carried a stale
dependency graph.
- `TypeRTClientRemote`'s documented declaration gains `$dispatch` on both sides.
- The pairing contract requires both sides to link the same target, so the
apiproxy README and the design note now link the English note from both
languages, and the note's code blocks are byte-identical across the pair
(a translated comment inside a fence counts as divergence).
- `apps/web/tests/README.md` gains its Chinese counterpart; the browser e2e lane
documents a discipline reviewers apply, so it belongs in the bilingual corpus
rather than in the pairing exemption list.
- Four fences in the design note are marked `ignore-check`: each quotes a member
signature, a union arm, or a snippet that names symbols it does not import, so
none is a compilable unit.
docs(agent-note): transition the forwarded-event note to implemented
The design shipped in this PR, so the pair moves into `implemented/` and takes
that folder's skeleton: `## Proposal` becomes a present-tense `## Decision`,
and `## Acceptance criteria` plus `## Risks` fold into `## Verification` (what
pins the behavior) and `## Consequences` (what the shipped shape costs).
Facts that moved after the proposal are corrected rather than preserved: the
allowlist value now lives in `remote-events.ts` beside a type-only `types.ts`,
the delivery port is `$dispatch` rather than an internal cordis event, and the
invariant companion is an explained empty installer. `Verification` states the
two `$on` defects the review found — independent registration identity and
async-rejection containment — since those are now the properties tests pin.
Supersession is partial, so five active notes stay active and gain a
cross-link each: `web-config-plane`, `web-client-session-scope`,
`config-plane-boundaries`, `versioned-gui-welcome-onboarding`, and
`permission-default-for-new-sessions` each described a frame this change
replaced. Only the mechanism sentence is annotated; every conclusion those
notes own is untouched, and `host/models-changed` remains apiproxy's own
derived frame in all of them.
Also pins the disposer's idempotence: calling one `$on` disposer twice must not
splice a surviving twin registration out from under its owner.

**The raw layer gets its own event.** `settings/updated` stays gated on the resolved value — that is what a consumer means by change. `settings/document-updated (ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, because a configuration surface must learn that a field went from inherited to overridden (same resolved value, different meaning) and that its held revision is stale. The host frame `host/settings-changed` rode this event, and a change to an exposed provider namespace also emits `host/models-changed` : that namespace holds the provider's catalog, which no route change announces. (`settings/document-updated` is now forwarded to consumers verbatim instead of being reframed — see [forwarded Remote events ](2026-08-10-remote-event-delivery.md ) — which does not change why the raw layer needs its own event; the derived `host/models-changed` still rides it.)
feat(settings): detect stale writers with a revision, and announce raw changes
The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.

## Alternatives considered
- **A deployment-declared namespace allowlist on the proxy config** — more general, but it moves the product boundary to whoever writes cordis.yml, and an empty default would break the shipped page until every deployment opted in. The provider directory already states exactly which namespaces are model configuration.
- **Opt-in metadata at `settings.register()` ** — the most honest semantics (the namespace's owner declares its own exposure), and the largest change: the seam's public interface, both LLM plugins, and their docs. Recorded as the shape to adopt if a non-LLM namespace ever needs the plane.
- **Distinguishing "unregistered" from "registered but unexposed"** — better diagnostics, and a namespace-enumeration oracle. The uniform answer is deliberate.
- **Detecting conflicts by diffing instead of a revision** — comparing the submitted base against storage would work for whole-section writes, but the editor holds a REDACTED section: it cannot produce a comparable base, which is the same reason it cannot safely `replace` . A counter needs neither.
docs: purge chain-of-thought leakage from prose
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.

- **Fixing the redaction gaps here** — `redactSecrets` walks only `object` /`dict` /`array` , so a secret behind a union, intersection, or transform is returned verbatim with an empty `secrets` list; `schema.toJSON()` carries a secret field's `.default(...)` ; write-rejection messages return schema text that may quote the input; the client rehydrates the envelope through schemastery's `new Function` ; and pi-ai's plain-string `headers` dict can legitimately hold `Authorization` . All real, all deliberately left for a fail-closed `describeForWire()` that refuses a schema it cannot prove safe. They are recorded as `TODO(settings-wire-redaction)` and in the owning READMEs' Known Limitations rather than half-fixed here.

## Consequences
A LAN client on a `trustedHosts` deployment can no longer render the settings page at all; loopback is the configuration surface. A plugin that registers a settings namespace is not web-configurable until it also registers a configurable provider — deliberate, and the reason `settings-not-exposed` names the boundary in its message. `SettingsDescriptor` gained a required `revision` , so any programmatic constructor of a descriptor-shaped value must supply it, and `settings/document-updated` is a new event any provider-side listener may now observe. Clients that ignore `expectedRevision` keep last-write-wins semantics unchanged. Deferred: the fail-closed wire describe (with the `headers` and envelope-sanitization work it carries), and a non-executable browser schema protocol.
