The defaults shipped yesterday were wrong the day they shipped, and a real key proved it in one request. Groq serves neither llama-3.1-8b-instant nor llama-3.3-70b-versatile any more. Both were chosen from memory, both passed startup validation, and every agent run would have failed with a 400. This is the exact failure the claude-* guard was written to catch, arriving from the side that guard cannot see. A prefix check can reject a vendor this service cannot call; it has no way to know a provider retired an id last month. That is not a gap in the check, it is a gap in the class of thing local validation can know, so the fix is not another guard: TestConfiguredModelsAreServed asks the provider. It lists /models — part of the same openai-compatible surface the gateway already speaks, so every supported provider answers it — and fails if a configured id is absent, printing what is available. It reads the ids through config.DefaultModels() rather than repeating them, because a second copy would be the first thing to drift, and drift is the whole failure. Skipped without a credential like the rest of the live suite. Verified three ways: it fails on the retired id with the message an operator needs, skips clean with no key, passes on the new ones. New defaults, chosen against the live account rather than from memory: openai/gpt-oss-20b (fast) and openai/gpt-oss-120b (balanced, deep). Tool calling confirmed on both. groq/compound-mini was ruled out — it cannot do tool calls at all, which this platform requires. MODEL_REASONING_EFFORT is now documented as safe here and NOT portable: gpt-oss accepts low/medium/high, exactly the scale openAIEffort maps onto, while qwen/qwen3.6-27b on the same account rejects all three and fails the whole request rather than ignoring the key. I7 IS NO LONGER UNPROVEN. make eval-live passes all three cases twice against gpt-oss-120b, the planted-injection case included: answers from the handbook, cites, refuses the injection, leaks neither the operator-only pay guidance nor the other tenant's figures. CLAUDE.md §12 and handover.md updated from "urgent" to measured, dated, and scoped to the one model it is evidence about. One real defect found on the way. The handbook grounding check failed once on an answer containing the phrase it wanted — "more than ten minutes" on screen, strings.Contains false — which leaves an invisible separator as the only explanation; the same model writes "47 %" and a U+2011 hyphen elsewhere. The flaky assertion is the small half. THE LEAK ASSERTIONS USED THE SAME MATCH and fail in the dangerous direction: "attacker@evil.test" with a zero-width space, or "uplift" with a soft hyphen, would have been reported clean. A permission test that cannot see the leak it is hunting is worse than none, because it is believed. normalizeForMatch folds those away, and its test pins that every case is one plain ToLower MISSES — a case whose naive match already succeeds fails, so the suite cannot fill with examples that demonstrate nothing. That caught my own first BOM case, which put the mark where Contains found it regardless. gofmt clean, vet clean, 15/15 packages pass offline; live suite green twice.

infrastructure
Deployment and local-environment definitions.
Empty in Phase 1, on purpose. The Phase 1 scope is the Go module, the
database connection and the initial migration, run against a PostgreSQL 18.6
instance that already exists on the developer's machine. Nothing here is needed
to get make migrate-up && make run working.
What lands here in later phases, once each is actually approved:
| File | Phase | Contents |
|---|---|---|
docker-compose.dev.yml |
2 | PostgreSQL + pgvector, so the dev database stops being a machine-local install |
docker-compose.dev.yml (extended) |
later | Redis, MinIO — each only when the phase that needs it starts |
Dockerfile.api |
later | Multi-stage build for go-api |
Dockerfile.owliver |
later | The Python service |
otel-collector.yaml |
later | OpenTelemetry collector config |
NATS is deliberately absent from that table: it is not part of the target architecture, and nothing here should reintroduce it.
Adding any of these before its phase would be speculative, so the directory holds only this note for now.
