Plan-locked (free) installs showed only a flat "Watch only" with no way to
discover that Patrol has other modes. Add an explicit "See what Patrol can do"
affordance beside the Watch-only control that reveals the four modes (paid
ones disabled and Pro-badged) on demand, so operators can discover the
capability tiers without turning the default header into a Pro-absence matrix.
Resolves a patrol-intelligence subsystem contract conflict (a permissive line
allowing disabled paid buttons vs a prohibition on rendering them) by
codifying opt-in disclosure as the rule across the owner and dependent
contracts: the default (closed) view stays positive Watch-only, and the paid
modes appear only behind the explicit affordance. Records the product decision
in status.json resolved_decisions.
Z.ai keys on the coding subscription get 429 'Insufficient balance' on the standard /api/paas/v4 endpoint. Add a per-provider BaseURLField to the Z.ai registry entry, a ZaiBaseURL override on AIConfig (returned by GetBaseURLForProvider when set, else the standard default), the handler request/response/apply plumbing, and a 'Custom Base URL' field on the Z.ai provider card so operators can point at /api/coding/paas/v4. Mirrors the existing OpenAI custom-base-URL override; the standard endpoint remains the default for pay-as-you-go users. Adds config/handler/frontend proofs and updates the ai-runtime, api-contracts, frontend-primitives, agent-lifecycle, and storage-recovery contracts.
Add a registry-backed provider model for runtime metadata and chat-compatible transports.
Support Z.ai, Groq, Mistral, Cerebras, Together, and Fireworks through the shared chat-compatible client path while keeping native providers on their existing adapters. Expose provider metadata through settings and render the expanded provider set in the frontend.
getConfiguredHostIPs() and the new discoveryConfigSnapshot() now deep-copy config under a brief RLock and release it before resolving Proxmox/PBS/PMG hostnames via the injectable lookupConfiguredHostIP seam, so slow or blocked DNS can no longer stall monitor writers. The discovery IPBlocklist is the deduplicated merge of the operator-configured blocklist and the resolved configured-host IPs. Adds lock-freedom and merge coverage tests; updates the monitoring contract obligation.
Manifest-backed MCP tools, prompts, and resources with surface affordance contracts; agent capability manifest and governance projection; API contract tests and capability route projection; operations-loop and intelligence-funnel telemetry; release-control subsystem documentation, registry, and tooling; licensing and configuration.
