python3 first-start on fresh Windows runners (AV interpreter scans) blew
the 5s/10s/30s script timeouts. Drop the incidental python3 spawns from
the bash fixtures (pure-bash JSON extraction) and give the genuinely
python tests 60s headroom.
Unknown chat/reranker models resolved through the create-from-name
fallback now inherit their provider's family rules (require_max_tokens,
reasoning defaults, etc.) from the quirks overlay, and the model
completion table marks reasoning-capable models with a brain glyph.
Add a hidden --generate-models flag that rebuilds models.yaml from
models.dev and OpenRouter merged with the hand-owned quirks overlay,
regenerate the committed catalog with it (393 -> 1090 models), and
retire the Python updater. GitHub becomes fully quirks-owned since
upstream only tracks Copilot ids, legacy ids upstream dropped are
preserved as hand-owned quirks entries, and non-chat model families
(image/tts/audio/realtime) are excluded from generation.
- use_session_applies_persisted_mcp_tools_immediately now loads a session
file from disk through the real use_session, proving the post-assignment
filter refresh applies a re-attached session's persisted allowlist.
- New use_rag_does_not_drop_role_filters loads a yaml-driver RAG through
the real use_rag and proves the tool-scope rebuild recomputes the role's
filter layer instead of dropping it.
- Seed the process-wide client/model registries in a pre-main ctor (new
ctor dev-dependency) so model resolution is deterministic across test
orderings; the seed exposes only an embedding model so tests that assert
'no chat model available' keep their premise.
The user-scope MCP config historically lived at
<config-dir>/functions/mcp.json, a leftover from when MCP support was
part of the llm-functions tooling. It now resolves through a single
choke point with these semantics:
- Preferred location: <config-dir>/mcp.json (created there on first run)
- Historical <config-dir>/functions/mcp.json still honored when the
preferred file does not exist, so existing installs are unchanged
- If both exist, the preferred location wins
--info/.info now reports the resolved location as mcp_config_file, and
the --scope help text plus config.agent.example.yaml reference the new
default. This also removes the asymmetry with the workspace scope,
which already used .coyote/mcp.json directly.
