- Skip the builtins bootstrap, function-binary build, and tool-scope
rebuild for inspection-only runs (--info/--list-*/--mcp-list/
--list-secrets without --agent/--role): a pristine COYOTE_CONFIG_DIR
now stays byte-empty (was 269 files written before dispatch)
- Tolerate a model-less default config on the inspection surface via
AppConfig::from_config_lenient + Model::default() in bootstrap;
strict 'No available model' behavior unchanged for the REPL path and
all mutating mcp/vault flags
- --list-secrets degrades to an rc=0 informational message in sandbox
mode (mutating vault flags still fail there), pinned by test
- Add the 041.7-4 regression test: a malformed COYOTE_<NAME>_GLOBAL_TOOLS
env override logs the debug message and leaves global_tools untouched
- Adopt scripts/usage-probe-inspection.sh (10 flags: rc=0 + zero writes,
output required only for --info) and add binary-level
tests/inspection_flags.rs, incl. the agent+--info still-bootstraps pin
Black-box scenarios against a built binary with dry_run configs: hook
cadence + env scoping, runtime inertness of failing hooks, --info firing
zero agent.* events, --install-builtins hooks install/force/cold-start
semantics, and end-to-end firing of the installed log-events.sh via the
documented relative-path wiring.
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.
