createImagesModels()/ImagesProvider/createImagesProvider() give image
generation the same shape as chat: sync model reads, explicit async
refresh(provider?) with in-flight dedupe, provider-resolved auth, and
never-rejecting generateImages() (failures return AssistantImages with
stopReason error). Auth resolution is shared with the chat side via the
free-standing resolveProviderAuth() in auth/resolve.ts, which also owns
ModelsError; both collections pass their store/context as arguments.
The OpenRouter implementation moves to api/openrouter-images.ts with a
lazy wrapper; openrouterImagesProvider() factory plus
builtinImagesProviders()/builtinImagesModels() land in providers/all.
The ImagesProvider id type alias is renamed to ImagesProviderId
(mirror of Provider -> ProviderId). The old global image API
(getImageModel*, generateImages, registerImagesApiProvider) stays on
/compat, its registration shim repointed at the moved implementation.
README: Quick Start uses builtinModels(), the full streaming event
switch, image generation and the development checklist are restored in
full, image generation documents the new collections with compat noted
for the old API, plus the review fixes (builtinModels options,
credential-store mention for browsers, ImagesModels notes).
Quick Start, querying, auth, OAuth, custom providers, faux, handoffs,
browser usage, and the dev checklist now demonstrate createModels() +
provider factories: sync model reads with explicit refresh, provider-
owned auth resolution (getAuth, credential store, env tables),
OAuthAuth login/refresh with prompt()/notify() callbacks, and
createProvider() for custom/dynamic providers (replacing bare Model +
global stream). Direct API implementation calls documented under the
canonical ./api/<id> subpaths with the legacy aliases noted.
The old global API is documented once, in a migration section pointing
at /compat with an old-to-new mapping table. Image generation is
documented as living on compat for now. All import/code claims
verified with a compile-and-run smoke script.
Provider.getModels() is sync-only (last-known list; must not throw) with
an optional refreshModels() where dynamic providers fetch. The
sync-or-async union invited latent sync assumptions that would detonate
on the first dynamic provider; async-only reads would force sync
consumer surfaces (extension find/getAll) through Promises. Sync reads
plus an explicit refresh verb keeps the contract single and the
staleness visible.
Models.getModels()/getModel() are sync best-effort reads;
Models.refresh(provider?) rejects with ModelsError(model_source) for a
single provider and is concurrent best-effort across all providers.
createProvider() takes a models array plus an optional refreshModels
fetcher (stored on success, in-flight calls deduped, list unchanged on
rejection). forceRefresh options are gone.
Also finishes the in-progress AuthStorage fallbackResolver removal
(drops the now-unused includeFallback option from getApiKey).
The root barrel is now core-only and side-effect free: types,
createModels/createProvider, auth substrate, lazyStream/lazyApi, faux,
utils. Generated catalogs, api-registry, env-api-keys, images, global
stream functions, and per-API lazy wrappers leave the root.
New @earendil-works/pi-ai/compat preserves the old surface verbatim as
a strict superset of the root: api-dispatch stream/complete with env
key injection, the builtin registration side effect (skip-if-present so
it cannot clobber earlier overrides), deprecated getModel/getModels/
getProviders aliases of the new getBuiltin* reads in providers/all,
lazy api wrappers + setBedrockProviderModule, and image generation.
Compat dies with the coding-agent ModelManager migration.
Packaging: exports map gains ./compat, ./providers/*, ./api/*;
sideEffects array lists only the effectful modules.
Old-global imports across agent/coding-agent/examples and pi-ai tests
switch to /compat (path-only; compat is a superset). The coding-agent
extension loader resolves the pi-ai ROOT specifier to compat, so
existing user extensions using the old global API keep working at
runtime until compat is removed. vitest configs alias /compat to src;
browser smoke imports old globals from /compat.
anthropic, openai-codex, and github-copilot flow modules gain OAuthAuth
exports (login/refresh/toAuth) wired to the prompt()/notify() login
callbacks, making the lazyOAuth attachments on the provider factories
functional. Copilot's modifyModels baseUrl rewriting becomes toAuth()
returning ModelAuth.baseUrl derived from the token proxy endpoint.
Callback-server flows race a manual_code prompt and abort it through
AuthPrompt.signal once the flow settles; OAuthAuth has no
usesCallbackServer flag. The old OAuthProviderInterface exports stay
unchanged until the coding-agent migration.
Auth helpers in src/auth/helpers.ts: envApiKeyAuth() (stored key wins,
then env vars in order, with secret-prompt login) and lazyOAuth()
(flow loads on first use through bundler-opaque dynamic imports in
utils/oauth/load.ts; the OAuthAuth flow exports land in phase 4).
There is no OAuth factory toggle: providers that support OAuth always
attach it, advertising costs nothing until login/refresh runs.
createProvider() in models.ts builds providers from parts: single API
implementation or a map dispatched on model.api (mixed-API providers
like opencode and github-copilot); unknown api yields a stream error.
generate-models.ts now emits one providers/<id>.models.ts catalog per
provider (35 files, biome-excluded like models.generated.ts) and
models.generated.ts becomes a generated aggregator, so importing one
provider factory pulls one catalog. Typed getModel globals unchanged.
One factory per built-in provider under src/providers/: envApiKeyAuth
for standard providers, OAuth for anthropic/openai-codex/github-copilot,
ambient ApiKeyAuth for amazon-bedrock (AWS env/profile/IAM) and
google-vertex (explicit key or ADC+project+location).
providers/all.ts: builtinProviders(), builtinModels(), getBuiltin*
re-exports. fauxProvider() factory returns a real Provider for tests;
legacy registerFauxProvider() unchanged.
Picks up the Claude Fable 5 thinking-off metadata (off: null in
thinkingLevelMap) that 9ccfcd7c added to the generator without
regenerating, fixing anthropic-thinking-disable and supports-xhigh
tests. Includes upstream catalog drift; OpenRouter delisted
moonshotai/kimi-k2.6:free, so the kimi compat test now pins only the
listed variant.
Stream implementations move from src/providers/ to src/api/, renamed by
API id (anthropic.ts -> anthropic-messages.ts, google.ts ->
google-generative-ai.ts, mistral.ts -> mistral-conversations.ts,
amazon-bedrock.ts -> bedrock-converse-stream.ts). Every module now
exports exactly stream/streamSimple; shared helpers move alongside.
New ProviderStreams dispatch contract in types.ts, lazyApi() wrapper in
api/lazy.ts, and one .lazy.ts wrapper per API. Bedrock's wrapper keeps
the node-only variable-specifier import and setBedrockProviderModule()
(now taking ProviderStreams).
providers/register-builtins.ts deleted; interim until the compat
entrypoint lands, builtin api-registry registration lives in stream.ts
and lazy wrappers are exported from the root barrel. Old per-API lazy
exports (streamAnthropic, ...) are gone; package.json subpaths retarget
to dist/api/.
New Models/MutableModels/createModels collection: provider map, async
model listing (best-effort aggregation), getAuth decision tree with
double-checked locked OAuth refresh, stream/complete with per-field
auth merge over lazyStream.
Auth substrate: ProviderAuth { apiKey?, oauth? }, one type-tagged
credential per provider, CredentialStore (read/modify/delete; modify
is the only write path, serialized RMW), OAuthAuth login/refresh/toAuth
split, prompt()/notify() login callbacks, browser-safe default
AuthContext.
types.ts: Provider alias renamed to ProviderId; ApiOptionsMap and
ApiStreamOptions<TApi> for typed per-API stream options; hasApi()
runtime narrowing guard.
