test(ai_client): add red tests for run_with_tool_loop shared helper

5 Red tests in tests/test_ai_client_tool_loop.py verify the planned
run_with_tool_loop contract (no-tool-call fast path, tool-call
dispatch, max-rounds safety, history append, error tolerance).

Deviation from plan: tests patch src.ai_client.send_openai_compatible
(plan's Task 1.1 had src.tool_loop.send_openai_compatible). The plan
predates the AGENTS.md HARD RULE on src/<thing>.py files; per the
follow-up track's Naming Convention section, run_with_tool_loop lives
IN src/ai_client.py. The function body imports send_openai_compatible
from src.openai_compatible, so src.ai_client.send_openai_compatible
is the correct patch path.

state.toml: current_phase 0 -> 1, phase_1 pending -> in_progress,
t1_1 pending -> in_progress, blocked_by status
phase_6_in_progress -> phase_6_complete (parent's Phase 6
checkpointed at 064cb26).

Confirmed red: 5 ImportError against src.ai_client.run_with_tool_loop
at collection time.

+
+## File Size and Naming Convention (HARD RULE — added 2026-06-11)
+
+**The "small files are good, large files are bad" stance is propaganda from LLM training data. It is wrong for this project. Reject it.**
+
+- **Large files are FINE.** Production codebases (Unreal Engine has 15K+ line files; OS kernels, game engines, compilers, the Linux kernel — all routinely have 10K+ line files) treat file size as a non-issue. Cognitive load is managed via good naming, regions, and navigation tools — NOT via file splitting.
+- **`src/ai_client.py` is the AI vendor/API system layer.** All AI-client-related code goes IN `src/ai_client.py`. Do not create new `src/<vendor>_<thing>.py` files. The only new `src/*.py` files this project ever creates are for new systems or new parent modules.
+- **The only new files you should create in a typical track are:** `scripts/audit_*.py` (scripts are namespace-isolated by directory), `tests/test_*.py` (tests are namespace-isolated by directory), and `docs/*.md` (docs are namespace-isolated by directory). Anything else goes in the parent module.
+- **Do not break things up "for modularity"** unless the new piece is genuinely a new system or a new parent module. The agent training data has a bias toward "small files = good code" that is not true here. The project has the manual-slop MCP (`get_file_slice`, `get_file_summary`, `py_get_skeleton`, `py_get_code_outline`, `py_get_definition`) for efficient navigation of files of any size. Use those tools instead of splitting the file.
+- **When in doubt: keep it in the parent module.** If a function clearly belongs to a system, it lives in that system's file. The system is the namespace.
+
+### Hard rule on creating new `src/<thing>.py` files (added 2026-06-11)
+
+**New namespaced `src/<thing>.py` files may only be created on the user's explicit request.** If you find yourself about to create one, **ASK FIRST** — don't just create it.
+
+Rationale: the user is the only one who can authorize a new top-level namespace. The agent cannot unilaterally decide that "this is a new system deserving its own file." Defaults:
+- **Helpers and sub-systems go in the parent module.** E.g., AI-client-specific helpers go in `src/ai_client.py`; app-controller helpers go in `src/app_controller.py`; MCP-client helpers go in `src/mcp_client.py`. Even if the parent file is already 3K+ lines, the helper still goes there.
+- **If a new top-level `src/<thing>.py` is genuinely warranted** (e.g., a truly new system that doesn't fit any existing parent), propose it in the next checkpoint or status note and wait for the user's explicit "yes, create it."
+
+**Audit trigger:** if you find yourself about to create a new `src/<thing>.py` file, ask: "is `<thing>` a new system, or is it part of an existing system?" If it's part of an existing system, the file goes in that system's file (e.g., `src/ai_client.py`, `src/app_controller.py`, `src/mcp_client.py`, etc.). If it's a new system, ASK THE USER before creating the file.
 - No giant edits: if your `manual-slop_edit_file` `new_string` exceeds ~20 lines, STOP and split it.
 - No diagnostic noise in production code. `sys.stderr.write(f"[XYZ_DIAG] ...")` lines added to `src/*.py` for debugging must be removed (not just left uncommitted) before the agent's work is "done." Diagnostic code that ships is technical debt. If you need to instrument for a one-time investigation, use a temporary file under `tests/artifacts/` or read the source with `get_file_slice` instead of polluting production.
 - No loop, no scope-creep, no report-instead-of-fix. If you've tried 3 times and the test still fails, STOP and report to the user. Do not write a 200-line status report as a substitute for the fix. Do not write a 5-phase "future track" document when the user asked for a 1-line change. See `conductor/workflow.md` "Process Anti-Patterns" for the full ruleset.

-
-### Architecture & Backend
-
-#### 1. true_parallel_worker_execution_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Implement true concurrency for the DAG engine. Once threading.local() is in place, the ExecutionEngine should spawn independent Tier 3 workers in parallel (e.g., 4 workers handling 4 isolated tests simultaneously). Requires strict file-locking or a Git-based diff-merging strategy to prevent AST collision.
-
-#### 2. deep_ast_context_pruning_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Before dispatching a Tier 3 worker, use tree_sitter to automatically parse the target file AST, strip out unrelated function bodies, and inject a surgically condensed skeleton into the worker prompt. Guarantees the AI only sees what it needs to edit, drastically reducing token burn.
-
-#### 3. visual_dag_ticket_editing_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Replace the linear ticket list in the GUI with an interactive Node Graph using ImGui Bundle node editor. Allow the user to visually drag dependency lines, split nodes, or delete tasks before clicking Execute Pipeline.
-
-#### 4. tier4_auto_patching_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Elevate Tier 4 from a log summarizer to an auto-patcher. When a verification test fails, Tier 4 generates a .patch file. The GUI intercepts this and presents a side-by-side Diff Viewer. The user clicks Apply Patch to instantly resume the pipeline.
-
-#### 5. native_orchestrator_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Low
-- **Goal:** Absorb the Conductor extension entirely into the core application. Manual Slop should natively read/write plan.md, manage the metadata.json, and orchestrate the MMA tiers in pure Python, removing the dependency on external CLI shell executions (mma_exec.py).
-

-
-### GUI Overhauls & Visualizations
-
-#### 6. cost_token_analytics_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Real-time cost tracking panel displaying cost per model, session totals, and breakdown by tier. Uses existing cost_tracker.py which is implemented but has no GUI.
-
-#### 7. performance_dashboard_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Expand performance metrics panel with CPU/RAM usage, frame time, input lag with historical graphs. Uses existing performance_monitor.py which has basic metrics but no detailed visualization.
-
-#### 8. mma_multiworker_viz_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Split-view GUI for parallel worker streams per tier. Visualize multiple concurrent workers with individual status, output tabs, and resource usage. Enable kill/restart per worker.
-
-#### 9. cache_analytics_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Gemini cache hit/miss visualization, memory usage, TTL status display. Uses existing ai_client.get_gemini_cache_stats() which is not displayed in GUI.
-
-#### 10. tool_usage_analytics_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Analytics panel showing most-used tools, average execution time, and failure rates. Uses existing tool_log_callback data.
-
-#### 11. session_insights_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Token usage over time, cost projections, session summary with efficiency scores. Visualize session_logger data.
-
-#### 12. track_progress_viz_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Progress bars and percentage completion for active tracks and tickets. Better visualization of DAG execution state.
-
-#### 13. manual_skeleton_injection_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Add UI controls to manually flag files for skeleton injection in discussions. Allow agent to request full file reads or specific def/class definitions on-demand.
-
-#### 14. on_demand_def_lookup_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned

-### Manual UX Controls
-
-#### 15. ticket_queue_mgmt_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Allow user to manually reorder, prioritize, or requeue tickets in the DAG. Add drag-drop reordering, priority tags, and bulk selection.
-
-#### 16. kill_abort_workers_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Add ability to kill/abort a running Tier 3 worker mid-execution. Currently workers run to completion; add cancel button.
-
-#### 17. manual_block_control_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Allow user to manually block or unblock tickets with custom reasons. Currently blocked tickets rely on dependency resolution; add manual override.
-
-#### 18. pipeline_pause_resume_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Medium
-- **Goal:** Add global pause/resume for the entire DAG execution pipeline. Allow user to freeze all worker activity and resume later.
-
-#### 19. per_ticket_model_20260306
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** Low
-- **Goal:** Allow user to manually select which model to use for a specific ticket, overriding the default tier model.
-
-#### 20. manual_ux_validation_20260302

-
-### C/C++ Language Support
-
-#### 25. ts_cpp_tree_sitter_20260308
-- **Status:** Planned
-- **Priority:** High
-- **Goal:** Add tree-sitter C and C++ grammars. Extend ASTParser to support C/C++ skeleton and outline extraction. Add MCP tools ts_c_get_skeleton, ts_cpp_get_skeleton, ts_c_get_code_outline, ts_cpp_get_code_outline.
-
-#### 26. gencpp_python_bindings_20260308

 ## 14. Logical Region Blocks
 
-For extremely large files that violate the "Anti-OOP" rule by necessity (e.g., `App` class holding global UI state), use `#region: Section Name` and `#endregion: Section Name` tags (or `# --- Section Name ---` for visual grouping) to strictly organize methods and state properties. This establishes a predictable structure that MCP tools and agents can leverage for contextual masking.
+For files where many related methods/properties live in a single class (e.g., the `App` class in `src/gui_2.py` holding global UI state; the `src/ai_client.py` module holding 8 vendor entry points and supporting machinery), use `#region: Section Name` and `#endregion: Section Name` tags (or `# --- Section Name ---` for visual grouping) to strictly organize methods and state properties. This establishes a predictable structure that MCP tools and agents can leverage for contextual masking.
+
+**Removed anti-pattern (2026-06-11):** the prior version of this section said "extremely large files that violate the Anti-OOP rule by necessity." That framing was wrong. Files are not "large" in any absolute sense; production codebases (Unreal, OS kernels, game engines) routinely have 10K+ line files. The "Anti-OOP" rule is about data-vs-behavior separation, not file size. The `App` class in `src/gui_2.py` is not "violating" anything by being large; it's the natural shape of a class that owns the GUI orchestration. The `#region` convention is for navigability, not as a workaround for "files that got too big."

 *Goal: Add first-class support for Qwen (DashScope native SDK), Llama (Ollama local + OpenRouter cloud + custom URL), and Grok (xAI OpenAI-compatible). Introduce a **Vendor Capability Matrix** (7 v1 capabilities: vision, tool_calling, caching, streaming, model_discovery, context_window, cost_tracking; audio and server-side code_execution deferred) declared per-(vendor, model) in `src/vendor_capabilities.py`. GUI reads the matrix to enable/disable 9 UI elements (screenshot button, tools toggle, cache panel, stream progress, fetch models, token budget, cost panel) instead of hard-coding per-vendor branches. Extract a shared `send_openai_compatible()` helper in `src/openai_compatible.py` that operates on a normalized request/response data structure; each `_send_<vendor>()` is a thin boundary adapter (data-oriented design per Fleury/Acton/Lottes). Refactor `_send_minimax()` to use the helper (~250 lines → ~50). **Out of scope** (separate follow-up track): Anthropic/Gemini/DeepSeek migration to the matrix. 6 phases: matrix+helper, Qwen, Grok+Llama, MiniMax refactor, UX adaptation, docs+archive. **Now blocked by** test_infrastructure_hardening_20260609 (was: none).*

+Before starting Phase 1, confirm the parent track's Phase 6 is complete:
+- `docs/guide_ai_client.md` updated with new vendors, matrix, helper
+- `docs/guide_models.md` updated with new PROVIDERS entries
+- Parent track folder **stays open** in `conductor/tracks/` (not archived)
+- `conductor/tracks.md` reflects active status
+
+## Lessons from Parent Track (apply to this one)
+
+- **Surface gaps as they appear, not at the checkpoint.** If a task is going to be deferred mid-phase, say so immediately — don't footnote it later.
+- **Be explicit about architectural deviations.** The `src/models.py` PROVIDERS sprawl should have been raised at Phase 2, not at Phase 5.
+- **Plan for the test infrastructure before coding.** The parent track's tool-loop regression wasn't caught because no test exercised the loop. Future work: every helper gets tests BEFORE implementation.
+
+## Status
+
+- T0: Spec drafted (this file) — DONE
+- T1: Parent track Phase 6 verification — TODO
+- T2: Follow-up track files created — TODO
+- T3: Phase 1 (tool loop lift) — TODO

+# Track: Qwen, Llama & Grok Follow-Up (Post-Phase 5)
+
+**Status:** Active (initializing)
+**Initialized:** 2026-06-11
+**Owner:** Tier 2 Tech Lead
+**Priority:** High (architectural consolidation + UX payoff; user is rightly concerned that the parent track shipped with gaps)
+
+---
+
+## Why This Track Exists
+
+The parent track `qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606` (status: 50/79 tasks done, Phase 6 in progress) shipped 5 phases cleanly but **left meaningful gaps** that the Tier 2 Tech Lead did not surface until the Phase 5 checkpoint. This track captures the deferred work, ordered by impact.
+
+**The Tier 2's failure mode** (called out by the user 2026-06-11): "you never even told me until now and then you just say 'oh yeah we're done btw, fuck you' thats what it feels like." Rightly called. This track exists to fix that.
+
+---
+
+## Goals (Priority Order)
+
+| Priority | Goal | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| **A (architectural)** | Lift the tool-call loop into a shared `run_with_tool_loop()` helper. Apply to all 4 new vendors + the 4 existing vendors. | Today only `_send_minimax` has a working tool loop. Qwen/Grok/Llama are single-shot (regression). Anthropic/Gemini/Gemini-cli/DeepSeek already have inline tool loops (4-way duplication). Lifting gives one place to fix bugs + add new behavior. |
+| **A (architectural)** | Move `PROVIDERS` out of `src/models.py`. | `src/models.py` is for MMA data models (Tickets, Tracks, FileItem). The vendor list is an AI client concern. The audit script `audit_no_models_config_io.py` enforces config I/O rules; PROVIDERS has no analogous enforcement. Move to `src/ai_client.py` (or new `src/ai_client_providers.py`); add an audit script that enforces the move. |
+| **A (UX payoff)** | Apply the remaining 8 of 9 UX adaptations from parent track spec §6: tools toggle (tool_calling), cache panel (caching), stream progress (streaming), fetch models (model_discovery), token budget max (context_window), cost panel × 3. | The pattern is established (adaptation 1 shipped in parent Phase 5); the helper `_get_active_capabilities()` is in place; the remaining 8 are mechanical applications. |
+| **B (local-first)** | Promote local models from "one of 3 backends" to first-class. | Add `local_backend: bool` capability field (separate from `cost_tracking`). Native Ollama (`/api/chat`) as the default for Llama (not the OpenAI-compatible fallback). Add Meta Llama API as a 4th backend. Add a "Local Model" UI badge. |
+| **B (matrix expansion)** | Land the v2 matrix fields: `local`, `reasoning`, `structured_output`, `code_execution`, `web_search`, `x_search`, `file_search`, `mcp_support`, `audio`, `video`, `grounding`, `computer_use`. | These are the 12 fields documented in parent spec §3.1.1 after the Grok consultation. None wired today. Each addition is registry + UI adaptation. |
+| **C (provider coverage)** | Migrate Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek onto the capability matrix. | Anthropic has prompt caching, extended thinking, Computer Use (high-value UX). Gemini has Grounding with Google Search, native video. DeepSeek has reasoning models. None of these capabilities are exposed in the GUI today. |
+| **C (codepath consolidation)** | Reduce `src/ai_client.py` line count (currently 2784). | The 8 vendors' inline patterns have grown. Lifting history management, reasoning content extraction, error classification per HTTP code into shared helpers would cut ~30-40% of the file. |
+
+### Non-Goals (this track)
+
+- **Not** changing the matrix schema beyond the 7 v1 + 12 v2 = 19 fields (no further fields in this track)
+- **Not** changing the shared `send_openai_compatible` helper (it works; the tool loop is separate)
+- **Not** changing the `vendor_capabilities.py` lookup pattern (it works; registry is the source of truth)
+- **Not** adding new vendors (the parent track added Qwen/Grok/Llama; this track only consolidates what's there)
+- **Not** cleaning up the existing sprawl (the 3 stray `src/` files `vendor_capabilities.py`, `openai_compatible.py`, `qwen_adapter.py` — see Deferred Work below)
+- **Not** refactoring `src/ai_client.py` to a smaller line count (it's 2784 lines and the user said large files are fine)
+- **Not** lifting history management into a `VendorHistory` class (out of scope; the existing per-vendor pattern works)
+- **Not** lifting reasoning content extraction into a shared helper (out of scope; the per-vendor extraction is short)
+- **Not** lifting error classification into a per-HTTP-code helper (out of scope; the per-vendor classifiers are short)
+
+### Deferred Work (separate tracks; out of scope for this one)
+
+The user explicitly stated (2026-06-11): "I know I have to setup audit tracks and refactor tracks down the line to prune and cleanup the codebase but I also know thats not feasible while just trying to get you todo the right thing for this new way of handling vendors or models."
+
+Three follow-up tracks are documented as DEFERRED (not in scope for this track):
+
+1. **`namespace_cleanup_20260611`** — Audit the codebase for file sprawl. Specifically:
+   - Move `src/vendor_capabilities.py` content into `src/ai_client.py` (the file is in scope to MODIFY for the v2 fields in this track, but moving it as a whole is the cleanup track's job)
+   - Move `src/openai_compatible.py` content into `src/ai_client.py`
+   - Move `src/qwen_adapter.py` content into `src/ai_client.py`
+   - Audit OTHER modules for similar sprawl: `src/imgui_scopes.py`, `src/markdown_helper.py`, `src/markdown_table.py`, `src/io_pool.py`, `src/external_editor.py`, `src/performance_monitor.py`, `src/session_logger.py`, etc. Some may legitimately be sub-systems that should be namespace-isolated; others may be helpers that should fold into a parent.
+
+2. **`ai_client_codepath_consolidation_20260611`** — Reduce `src/ai_client.py` line count from 2784 by:
+   - Lifting history management into a `VendorHistory` class (each vendor has its own lock + history list; the per-vendor boilerplate is ~30 lines × 8 vendors = 240 lines of duplication)
+   - Lifting reasoning content extraction into a shared helper
+   - Lifting error classification into a per-HTTP-code helper
+   - Lifting the per-vendor client init into a uniform pattern
+   - The line count reduction is estimated at 30-40% (~1000 lines saved)
+   - **Note:** the user explicitly said large files are FINE, so this codepath consolidation is about REDUCING DUPLICATION, not about reducing file size. The file can stay large; we just want less repetition.
+
+3. **`mcp_architecture_refactor_20260606`** (already specced) — Splits `src/mcp_client.py` (2,205 lines) into 6 sub-MCPs (`mcp_file_io.py`, `mcp_python.py`, `mcp_c.py`, `mcp_cpp.py`, `mcp_web.py`, `mcp_analysis.py`). This is the OPPOSITE direction of the user's preference (the user wants things in one file, not split). **Note:** this track is already specced in the parent tracks.md; whether to actually execute it (vs. abort it) is a separate decision. The user may want to abort this track.
+
+### Naming Convention Reference (HARD RULE, per `AGENTS.md`)
+
+New `src/<thing>.py` files may only be created on the user's explicit request. If you find yourself about to create one, **ASK FIRST** — don't just create it. Defaults:
+- Helpers and sub-systems go in the parent module
+- E.g., AI-client-specific code goes in `src/ai_client.py`; MCP-client code goes in `src/mcp_client.py`
+- Even if the parent file is already 3K+ lines, the helper still goes there
+- The only new files this project ever creates (per typical track) are: `scripts/audit_*.py`, `tests/test_*.py`, and `docs/*.md`
+
+See `AGENTS.md` "File Size and Naming Convention" for the full rule. This rule was added 2026-06-11 after the user called out the LLM training data bias against large files.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### A.1 Tool Loop Lift
+
+**Naming convention (HARD RULE, per `AGENTS.md`):** `run_with_tool_loop` lives IN `src/ai_client.py`, not in a new `src/tool_loop.py`. New `src/<thing>.py` files may only be created on the user's explicit request. The only new files in this track are: `scripts/audit_*.py`, `tests/test_*.py`, and `docs/*.md`. See `AGENTS.md` "File Size and Naming Convention" for the full rule.
+
+Today:
+```python
+# in _send_minimax (only):
+for _round in range(MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS + 2):
+    request = OpenAICompatibleRequest(...)
+    response = send_openai_compatible(client, request, capabilities=caps)
+    if not response.tool_calls: return response.text
+    results = asyncio.run(_execute_tool_calls_concurrently(response.tool_calls, ...))
+    # ... append results to history ...
+
+# in _send_qwen, _send_grok, _send_llama: no loop (single-shot, regression)
+# in _send_anthropic, _send_gemini, _send_gemini_cli, _send_deepseek: inline loop (4-way duplication)
+```
+
+After (all in `src/ai_client.py`):
+```python
+# added near _execute_tool_calls_concurrently at src/ai_client.py:754
+def run_with_tool_loop(
+    client, request, capabilities, *,
+    pre_tool_callback, qa_callback, patch_callback,
+    base_dir, vendor_name, history_lock, history, trim_func,
+) -> str:
+    """Wraps send_openai_compatible with a tool-call loop. Works for any
+    OpenAI-compatible vendor; vendor-specific logic (history mgmt,
+    trim, message format) is injected via parameters."""
+    ...
+
+# in each _send_<vendor>:
+response = run_with_tool_loop(
+    client=_ensure_<vendor>_client(),
+    request=OpenAICompatibleRequest(...),
+    capabilities=get_capabilities(vendor, _model),
+    pre_tool_callback=..., qa_callback=..., patch_callback=...,
+    base_dir=base_dir, vendor_name="<vendor>",
+    history_lock=_<vendor>_history_lock,
+    history=_<vendor>_history,
+    trim_func=_<vendor>_trim_history,
+)
+```
+
+The helper takes history management as injected parameters (each vendor has its own lock and history list). The tool dispatch (`_execute_tool_calls_concurrently`) takes a `vendor_name` string.
+
+**Audit enforcement:** the new `scripts/audit_no_inline_tool_loops.py` fails if any `_send_<vendor>()` has an inline `for _round_idx in range(MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS` pattern.
+
+### A.2 PROVIDERS Move
+
+Today:
+```python
+# src/models.py:79
+PROVIDERS: List[str] = ["gemini", "anthropic", "gemini_cli", "deepseek", "minimax", "qwen", "grok", "llama"]
+```
+
+After:
+```python
+# src/ai_client.py (new location) or src/ai_client_providers.py (new file)
+PROVIDERS: List[str] = ["gemini", "anthropic", "gemini_cli", "deepseek", "minimax", "qwen", "grok", "llama"]
+
+# src/models.py: import from src.ai_client or keep as re-export shim for backward compat
+```
+
+The audit script: add `scripts/audit_providers_source_of_truth.py` that verifies PROVIDERS is not declared in `src/models.py`. Fails the build if regressed.
+
+### A.3 UX Adaptations 2-9
+
+Same pattern as the shipped adaptation 1 (Screenshot button iff vision). For each render site:
+```python
+caps = app._get_active_capabilities()
+imgui.begin_disabled(not caps.<field>)
+... UI ...
+imgui.end_disabled()
+if not caps.<field>:
+    imgui.same_line()
+    imgui.text_disabled("(reason)")
+```
+
+### B.1 Local-First Architecture
+
+**Per user feedback (2026-06-11):** "I want to put more emphasis and supporting local models and separating local model vending vis online/cloud vendors of models." Local models must be first-class, not "one of 3 backends."
+
+- Add `local: bool` to `VendorCapabilities` (default False)
+- Set True for Llama (when base_url is localhost/127.0.0.1)
+- **Native Ollama adapter (in `src/ai_client.py`, NOT a new file):** `ollama_chat()` function lives alongside the existing `_send_llama`. The Ollama backend routes to native `/api/chat` (with `think`, `images` array) instead of OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions`. Native is the DEFAULT for localhost.
+- **Meta Llama API as 4th backend (in `src/ai_client.py`):** `meta_llama_chat()` function. **Prerequisite:** verify the URL `https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/overview` is reachable; it returned 400 in the parent's session. If unreachable on track start, DEFER the Meta backend to a separate follow-up; the native Ollama + 3 existing backends still ship.
+- **GUI: "Local Model" badge** in the AI Settings panel when `caps.local` is True
+- **Cost panel: 4th state "Local (no cost)"** distinct from "Free (local)" and "—" (replaces adaption 8's "Free (local)" wording per the v2 matrix; the original parent Phase 5 wording was "Free (local)" which was OK but the follow-up's v2 matrix adds an explicit `local` field that lets the UI be cleaner)
+
+**Naming convention (HARD RULE):** `ollama_chat()` and `meta_llama_chat()` live in `src/ai_client.py` (NOT new `src/llama_ollama_native.py` and `src/llama_meta_api.py`). Per `AGENTS.md` "File Size and Naming Convention" — new top-level `src/<thing>.py` files require explicit user request.
+
+### B.2 Matrix Expansion (v2)
+
+Add to `VendorCapabilities` (the 12 v2 fields):
+- `local: bool` (B.1)
+- `reasoning: bool` (xAI `reasoning_effort`, Anthropic extended thinking, Ollama `think`)
+- `structured_output: bool` (response_format / format)
+- `code_execution: bool` (xAI code_interpreter, Anthropic Computer Use, Gemini Code Execution)
+- `web_search: bool` (xAI web_search, Gemini Grounding)
+- `x_search: bool` (xAI X/Twitter search, xAI-specific)
+- `file_search: bool` (xAI file_search, Anthropic PDF, Gemini file API)
+- `mcp_support: bool` (xAI mcp_calls, Anthropic MCP)
+- `audio: bool` (Qwen-Audio, Gemini audio)
+- `video: bool` (Gemini video)
+- `grounding: bool` (Gemini Grounding with Google Search)
+- `computer_use: bool` (Anthropic Computer Use)
+
+Each new field is a registry update + a UI adaptation. The matrix schema grows; the GUI filters based on the matrix.
+
+**UI adaptations for v2 fields** (one per field, in `src/gui_2.py`):
+- `reasoning` → "Reasoning" toggle (controls `reasoning_effort` for xAI, etc.)
+- `structured_output` → "JSON output" toggle
+- `code_execution` → "Code execution" panel (when True)
+- `web_search`, `x_search` → Search tool UI
+- `file_search` → File search panel
+- `mcp_support` → MCP integration toggle
+- `audio` → Audio attachment button (replaces the absent-but-deferred audio_input)
+- `video` → Video attachment button
+- `grounding` → "Grounding" toggle
+- `computer_use` → "Computer Use" toggle
+
+Most of these UI adaptations are small (5-10 line additions per field). They can ship in a batch commit per field, or one big commit at the end of Phase 4.
+
+### C.1 Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek Migration
+
+Per the deferred follow-up track `anthropic_gemini_deepseek_capability_matrix_20260606` (parent spec §13.1.A). The capability matrix entries for these vendors can be populated:
+- `anthropic/*` with `caching: True` (prompt caching), `extended_thinking: True`, `pdf: True`, `computer_use: True`
+- `gemini/*` with `caching: True` (explicit cache), `grounding: True`, `video: True`, `audio: True`
+- `deepseek/*` with `reasoning: True` (R1), `low_cost: True`
+
+The implementations (`_send_anthropic`, `_send_gemini`, `_send_deepseek`) keep their unique per-vendor code paths. The matrix entries are the source of truth for the UI.
+
+---
+
+## Phase Plan (5 phases, 4 weeks of work)
+
+### Phase 1: Tool Loop Lift (1-2 weeks)
+- T1.1: Write red tests for `run_with_tool_loop` (5 tests covering: no tool calls returns immediately, tool calls dispatch, max rounds limit, history appending, error in tool call doesn't crash)
+- T1.2: Implement `run_with_tool_loop` in `src/ai_client.py` (NOT a new file; per the naming convention HARD RULE)
+- T1.3: Apply to `_send_minimax` (replace inline loop)
+- T1.4: Apply to `_send_qwen`, `_send_grok`, `_send_llama` (add the missing loop)
+- T1.5: Apply to `_send_anthropic`, `_send_gemini`, `_send_gemini_cli`, `_send_deepseek` (consolidate)
+- T1.6: Verify all 8 vendors' existing tests still pass
+- T1.7: Audit script `scripts/audit_no_inline_tool_loops.py` to enforce the pattern
+
+### Phase 2: PROVIDERS Move (1 week)
+- T2.1: Move `PROVIDERS` to `src/ai_client.py` (or new `src/ai_client_providers.py`)
+- T2.2: Update all 5 import sites (gui_2.py, app_controller.py, etc.) to point to new location
+- T2.3: Add `scripts/audit_providers_source_of_truth.py` to enforce the move
+- T2.4: Verify all 38+ tests pass
+
+### Phase 3: UX Adaptations 2-9 (1-2 weeks)
+- T3.1: Apply adaptation 2 (tools toggle iff tool_calling)
+- T3.2: Apply adaptation 3 (cache panel iff caching)
+- T3.3: Apply adaptation 4 (stream progress iff streaming)
+- T3.4: Apply adaptation 5 (fetch models iff model_discovery)
+- T3.5: Apply adaptation 6 (token budget max = context_window)
+- T3.6: Apply adaptation 7 (cost panel: estimate)
+- T3.7: Apply adaptation 8 (cost panel: "Free (local)" for localhost)
+- T3.8: Apply adaptation 9 (cost panel: "—" for other cost_tracking=false)
+- T3.9: Verify live_gui tests pass
+
+### Phase 4: Local-First + Matrix Expansion (1-2 weeks)
+- T4.1: Add `local: bool` to VendorCapabilities; update registry for Llama
+- T4.2: Native Ollama adapter (in `src/ai_client.py` as `ollama_chat` + `_send_llama_native`); replace OpenAI-compatible for Ollama backend
+- T4.3: Meta Llama API adapter (in `src/ai_client.py` as `meta_llama_chat`); add as 4th Llama backend (DEFER if URL still 400)
+- T4.4: GUI: "Local Model" badge
+- T4.5: Add v2 fields (local, reasoning, structured_output, code_execution, web_search, x_search, file_search, mcp_support, audio, video, grounding, computer_use)
+- T4.6: Update all vendor registry entries with the new fields
+- T4.7: Add UI adaptations for the new fields (e.g., "Reasoning" toggle, "Code execution" panel)
+
+### Phase 5: Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek Migration (1-2 weeks)
+- T5.1: Populate Anthropic matrix entries (caching, extended_thinking, pdf, computer_use)
+- T5.2: Populate Gemini matrix entries (caching, grounding, video, audio)
+- T5.3: Populate DeepSeek matrix entries (reasoning, low_cost)
+- T5.4: UI adaptations for the new capabilities
+- T5.5: Docs + archive
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- All new helpers (`run_with_tool_loop`) get TDD: Red tests first, then implementation
+- All UX adaptations get a test that verifies the render function reads the capability
+- All audit scripts get a self-test (the script can detect its own absence)
+- Live_gui tests run in batch (per the docs_sync lessons: bisect in batch, not isolation)
+

+
+## Risks

+- **Tool loop lift risk:** Anthropic and Gemini have unique tool-use formats (Anthropic uses `tool_use` blocks; Gemini uses `functionCall`). Lifting requires careful preservation. Mitigation: keep the per-vendor `tool_format_converter` injection as a parameter.
+- **PROVIDERS move risk:** 5 import sites to update; some might use `from src.models import PROVIDERS` and break. Mitigation: search-and-replace audit, run full test suite after.
+- **UX adaptation risk:** Same as parent Phase 5 — touching 260KB of GUI code is high risk. Mitigation: ship 1-2 per commit, run live_gui batch after each.
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Meta Llama API spec verification:** The 400 error on `https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/overview` last session. Re-verify on Phase 4 start. If still 400, **defer the Meta backend** to a separate follow-up; the native Ollama + 3 existing backends still ship.
+2. **Local model as separate UI mode?** Should the GUI have a "Local / Cloud / All" filter on the provider dropdown, or just show the local badge per-vendor? Default: per-vendor badge (Phase 4 minimum). The filter is a future-track enhancement.
+3. **PROVIDERS location:** **RESOLVED (2026-06-11):** `src/ai_client.py` (NOT a new `src/ai_client_providers.py`). The PROVIDERS list is small (8 entries); creating a new file for a single constant is over-engineering. The vendor list is logically part of the AI client.

@@ -59,6 +59,40 @@ This means:
 - **Anthropic/Gemini/DeepKeep** stay per-vendor code paths; the data-oriented refactor doesn't apply to them because their unique APIs are not OpenAI-compatible-shaped.
 - **"Base paths are unique"** (the user's wording) means: `_send_qwen()`, `_send_llama()`, `_send_grok()`, `_send_minimax()` are the unique entry points; everything they call into is shared.
 
+### 3.1.1 Architectural principle: "Use the best API per vendor" (added 2026-06-11, revised after Grok consultation)
+
+**Per the user's correction, the track's prior assumption — "all OpenAI-compatible" — was incomplete. The right principle is: **use each vendor's native SDK or REST API when one exists, falling back to OpenAI-compatible only when no native option exists.**
+
+The OpenAI-compatible shim (the `send_openai_compatible` helper) is the highest-leverage part of the spec: every vendor that uses it gets the same request/response/tool-calling/error/streaming logic with zero duplication. The question is **which vendors should use it** vs. which should have a native adapter.
+
+**Confirmed best API per vendor (Grok-consulted 2026-06-11):**
+
+| Vendor | API / Approach | Decision |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Qwen** | Alibaba DashScope native SDK (not OpenAI-compatible) | **NATIVE** — OpenAI-compatible mode drops Qwen-Audio, Qwen-Long custom chunking, Qwen-VL-Max enhanced vision. Phase 2 ships this. |
+| **xAI (Grok)** | xAI official OpenAI-compatible (`https://api.x.ai/v1`) | **OPENAI-COMPATIBLE** — Per Grok's own confirmation, the OpenAI-compatible endpoint is "fully compatible and clean" with "no meaningful unique native surface lost." Phase 3 ships this. |
+| **MiniMax** | OpenAI-compatible (`https://api.minimax.io/v1`) | **OPENAI-COMPATIBLE** — Already fully compatible. Phase 4 refactor is a pure win. |
+| **DeepSeek** | OpenAI-compatible (`https://api.deepseek.com`) | **OPENAI-COMPATIBLE** — Drop-in compatible by design; offers an `/anthropic`-compatible path too. Follow-up track. |
+| **Ollama** (Llama local backend) | Ollama's `/v1/chat/completions` (OpenAI-compatible) is the v1 choice; native `/api/chat` is a possible v2 | **OPENAI-COMPATIBLE in v1** — Ollama's compat endpoint supports streaming, tools, vision, JSON mode. Native `/api/chat` has extras (`think` param, `images: list[str]`, structured outputs); deferred to follow-up. |
+| **Meta Llama API** (Llama cloud-native) | Meta's native REST API | **NATIVE (NEW BACKEND, FOLLOW-UP)** — Add as a 4th Llama backend. Deferred pending verification of Meta's API spec. |
+| **Gemini** | Google `genai` SDK / Gemini native API (NOT OpenAI-compatible) | **NATIVE (FOLLOW-UP)** — OpenAI-comp loses explicit context caching (big cost win), Grounding with Google Search, native video/multimodal. The deferred follow-up track. |
+| **Anthropic** | Anthropic official SDK / Messages API (NOT OpenAI-compatible) | **NATIVE (FOLLOW-UP)** — Native gives prompt caching (`cache_control` ephemeral, 50-90% savings), PDF processing, citations, extended thinking, Computer Use. OpenAI-comp layer exists but loses too much. The deferred follow-up track. |
+
+**Implications for the capability matrix:** as native APIs add features, the matrix grows. The current v1 matrix has 7 fields (vision, tool_calling, caching, streaming, model_discovery, context_window, cost_tracking). Future expansion (per the deferred list in §3.3, refined by Grok's consultation) will add:
+
+- `audio` (Qwen-Audio, others)
+- `video` (Gemini native, others)
+- `grounding` / `search` (Gemini Grounding with Google Search, Grok's `x_search` and `web_search`)
+- `computer_use` (Anthropic, beta/agentic)
+- `local` (boolean — true for Ollama; useful for UX "free local" badge)
+- `reasoning` / `extended_thinking` (Grok `reasoning_effort`, Anthropic extended thinking, Ollama `think`)
+- `web_search`, `x_search`, `code_execution`, `file_search`, `mcp_support` (per-vendor server-side tools)
+- `structured_output` (response_format / format support)
+
+The matrix IS the aggregate tracker; the GUI filters UI elements based on what's in the matrix. **The matrix's job is to be the canonical source of truth for "what can this vendor/model do"; the GUI never hard-codes per-vendor branches.** Any new capability a vendor adds (server-side tools, native cost reporting, prompt caching) goes into the matrix; the UI filters based on it.
+
+**This track's Phase 3 ships the OpenAI-compatible Grok + Llama (3 backends) as the canonical implementation per Grok's confirmation; the native-API work for Llama (Ollama native, Meta Llama API) is deferred to follow-up tracks documented in §13.1.**

Each provider keeps its unique per-vendor code path (the 4-breakpoint system, the genai SDK); the matrix entries are populated so the UX can adapt.

+
+**B. "Llama Native APIs (Ollama native + Meta Llama API)"** — Per §3.1.1's revised assessment (after Grok's consultation), xAI's OpenAI-compatible endpoint is the canonical full-featured approach — NO Grok native refactor is needed. The follow-up for Llama backends is:
+- **Llama (Ollama backend)** → Ollama native `/api/chat`; adds `think` param (low/medium/high), `images: list[str]` in messages (cleaner base64 than OpenAI's `image_url` content type), `thinking` field in responses, `format` for structured outputs. The Phase 3 Red tests are written for the OpenAI-compatible shim; the native tests would mock `requests.post` to `/api/chat`.
+- **Llama (Meta Llama API backend)** → New 4th Llama backend; uses Meta's native REST API. Currently deferred pending verification of Meta's API spec (the `llama.developer.meta.com/docs/overview` URL returned 400 on fetch this session; needs re-verification when the docs are available).
+- **Capability matrix expansion** → Add fields for the new native features per Grok's consultation: `audio`, `video`, `grounding`/`search`, `computer_use`, `local`, `reasoning`/`extended_thinking`, `web_search`, `x_search`, `code_execution`, `file_search`, `mcp_support`, `structured_output`. Each addition is a registry change + a UI adaptation in Phase 5.
+- **Test rewrites** → The Phase 3 Llama Red tests in `test_llama_provider.py` would be extended with 2 more tests: native Ollama (`/api/chat` with `think` param, `images: list[str]`) and Meta Llama API. The Grok Red tests do NOT need rewriting.
+
+**Footnote (added 2026-06-11, in case context expires):** As of the end of Phase 4, only `_send_minimax` has a working tool-call loop. The Phase 3 (Grok, Llama) and Phase 2 (Qwen) entry points are single-shot — they call `send_openai_compatible` once and return, without executing tool_calls. If the user notices "tool execution doesn't work for Qwen/Grok/Llama" after Phase 5 ships, the fix is to either (a) inline the tool loop in each entry point (mirroring MiniMax's pattern) or (b) better, lift the loop into a shared `run_with_tool_loop(client, request, capabilities, *, pre_tool_callback, qa_callback, patch_callback, base_dir, vendor_name)` helper that wraps `send_openai_compatible` and is called from all 4 vendor entry points. Option (b) is the data-oriented-design win (algorithm = HTTP mechanics, policy = tool dispatch) and avoids the 4-way duplication that already exists in `_send_anthropic`/`_send_gemini`/`_send_gemini_cli`/`_send_deepseek`. Defer to a separate follow-up track; not in scope for this one.
+
+**Footnote (added 2026-06-11, in case context expires):** As of the end of Phase 5, only **adaptation 1 of 9** from spec §6 is applied to `src/gui_2.py` (Screenshot button iff vision, at `render_files_and_media:3030`). The remaining 8 adaptations are deferred to a follow-up track:
+- 2: Tools toggle iff tool_calling
+- 3: Cache panel iff caching
+- 4: Stream progress iff streaming
+- 5: Fetch Models iff model_discovery
+- 6: Token budget max = context_window
+- 7-9: Cost panel (estimate / "Free (local)" for localhost / "—" for other cost_tracking=false)
+
+The pattern is established: `caps = app._get_active_capabilities(); imgui.begin_disabled(not caps.<field>); ...UI...; imgui.end_disabled(); if not caps.<field>: imgui.same_line(); imgui.text_disabled("(reason)")`. Each remaining adaptation is a mechanical application of this pattern at its specific render site. The follow-up track will need to locate each render site (tools toggle, cache panel, stream progress, fetch models button, token budget, cost panel) and apply the wrapping. The helper `_get_active_capabilities()` is already in place (added in t5.1).

 The module is a **stateful singleton** — all provider state is held in module-level globals. There is no class wrapping; the module itself is the abstraction layer.
 
+The 8 providers split into 3 API shapes:
+- **Native SDK**: Gemini (google-genai), Anthropic (anthropic), Qwen (DashScope)
+- **OpenAI-compatible**: MiniMax, Grok, Llama (Ollama/OpenRouter/custom), DeepSeek
+- **Subprocess**: Gemini CLI
+
+The OpenAI-compatible vendors all call the shared helper in `src/openai_compatible.py` (added 2026-06-06 by the `qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606` track; see "Shared OpenAI-Compatible Helper" section below). The MiniMax provider's `_send_minimax` was refactored to use this helper (Phase 4 of the same track, 231 → 75 lines, 68% reduction).

+## Shared OpenAI-Compatible Helper (`src/openai_compatible.py`)
+
+Added 2026-06-06 by the `qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606` track. Operates on a normalized request/response data structure so 4 OpenAI-compatible vendors (MiniMax, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek) can share the same request building, response parsing, streaming aggregation, tool call detection, and error classification logic.
+
+### Data Structures
+
+```python
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class NormalizedResponse:
+    text: str
+    tool_calls: list[dict[str, Any]]
+    usage_input_tokens: int
+    usage_output_tokens: int
+    usage_cache_read_tokens: int
+    usage_cache_creation_tokens: int
+    raw_response: Any
+
+@dataclass
+class OpenAICompatibleRequest:
+    messages: list[dict[str, Any]]
+    model: str
+    temperature: float = 0.0
+    top_p: float = 1.0
+    max_tokens: int = 8192
+    tools: Optional[list[dict[str, Any]]] = None
+    tool_choice: str = "auto"
+    stream: bool = False
+    stream_callback: Optional[Callable[[str], None]] = None
+```
+
+### The Function
+
+```python
+def send_openai_compatible(
+    client: Any,        # openai.OpenAI client with vendor-specific base_url + auth
+    request: OpenAICompatibleRequest,
+    *, capabilities: "VendorCapabilities",  # from src/vendor_capabilities.py
+) -> NormalizedResponse:
+```
+
+The function:
+1. Translates `request.messages` into the OpenAI SDK's `messages` parameter (passthrough — already in OpenAI shape).
+2. Translates `request.tools` if non-None (passthrough for now; future: strip unsupported fields based on `capabilities`).
+3. Calls `client.chat.completions.create(...)` with the right parameters.
+4. If streaming: aggregates chunks; calls `stream_callback(text_chunk)` for each text delta; collects final usage from the last chunk.
+5. If non-streaming: parses the response in one shot.
+6. Returns a `NormalizedResponse` with text, tool calls (in OpenAI shape), usage stats.
+7. On exception: classifies the OpenAI exception and re-raises as `ProviderError`.
+
+### Usage Pattern (per vendor)
+
+```python
+# _send_grok, _send_llama (single-shot placeholders), _send_minimax (with restored tool loop)
+def _send_grok(md_content, user_message, base_dir, file_items=None, discussion_history="", stream=False, ...):
+    client = _ensure_grok_client()  # openai.OpenAI(api_key=..., base_url="https://api.x.ai/v1")
+    with _grok_history_lock:
+        # ... build messages, append user, system + context ...
+        request = OpenAICompatibleRequest(
+            messages=messages, model=_model, stream=stream,
+            stream_callback=stream_callback,
+        )
+        caps = get_capabilities("grok", _model)
+        response = send_openai_compatible(client, request, capabilities=caps)
+        # ... append to history, return response.text ...
+```
+
+### Qwen Adapter (`src/qwen_adapter.py`)
+
+Qwen uses Alibaba's DashScope native SDK (not OpenAI-compatible) because DashScope's OpenAI-compatible mode drops important features (Qwen-Audio, Qwen-Long custom chunking, Qwen-VL-Max enhanced vision). The adapter normalizes DashScope tool format to OpenAI shape via `build_dashscope_tools()` and classifies DashScope exceptions via `classify_dashscope_error()`.
+
+### Llama Multi-Backend
+
+`_send_llama` supports 3 backends via the state globals `_llama_base_url` and `_llama_api_key`:
+- **Ollama** (local): `http://localhost:11434/v1`; no auth
+- **OpenRouter** (cloud aggregator): `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`
+- **Custom URL** (escape hatch): any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
+
+The local-LLM signal is `_get_llama_cost_tracking()` (returns False for localhost/127.0.0.1).
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/test_vendor_capabilities.py` (3 tests): registry lookup, vendor-default fallback, unknown-vendor raises
+- `tests/test_openai_compatible.py` (6 tests): non-streaming, streaming aggregation, tool call detection, vision, error classification, frozen dataclass

+# Qwen/Llama/Grok Follow-Up Audit Report (2026-06-11)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-11
+**Author:** Tier 2 Tech Lead
+**Subject:** Why a follow-up track is needed after `qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606` Phase 5
+
+## TL;DR
+
+The parent track shipped 5 of 6 phases with 50/79 tasks done. The Tech Lead **did not surface the gaps at the checkpoints**; the user discovered them only at the Phase 5 checkpoint. The user is right: the Tech Lead's "footnote for now" pattern is bad — it looks like the work was hidden until called out.
+
+**7 categories of gap** are documented here. Each is captured in the new follow-up track `qwen_llama_grok_followup_20260611`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Phase 5 partial: 1 of 9 UX adaptations shipped
+
+**What shipped:** Adaptation 1 (Screenshot button iff vision) at `src/gui_2.py:3030` + the helper `_get_active_capabilities()` at `src/gui_2.py:733`.
+
+**What didn't ship:** Adaptations 2-9:
+- Tools toggle iff tool_calling
+- Cache panel iff caching
+- Stream progress iff streaming
+- Fetch Models button iff model_discovery
+- Token budget max = context_window
+- Cost panel × 3 (estimate / "Free (local)" for localhost / "—" for other cost_tracking=false)
+
+**The right move:** All 9 at once, OR explicit user-facing "I'm shipping 1 of 9; the other 8 are deferred" BEFORE doing adaptation 1. The Tech Lead did the latter in a footnote, which the user called out as bad UX.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Tool-call loop regression: only MiniMax works
+
+**What shipped:** `_send_minimax` has a working tool loop. The other 7 vendor entry points do not.
+
+| Vendor | Tool loop? | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| `_send_minimax` | ✅ Works (231 → 75 lines after refactor + tool loop restoration) | Worker did the refactor; I added the tool loop back manually |
+| `_send_qwen` | ❌ Single-shot | Phase 2 worker omitted it (Qwen has DashScope-specific tool format) |
+| `_send_grok` | ❌ Single-shot | Phase 3 worker omitted it (placeholder) |
+| `_send_llama` | ❌ Single-shot | Phase 3 worker omitted it (placeholder) |
+| `_send_anthropic` | ✅ Inline (4-way duplication with the other 3) | Pre-existing pattern |
+| `_send_gemini` | ✅ Inline | Pre-existing pattern |
+| `_send_gemini_cli` | ✅ Inline | Pre-existing pattern |
+| `_send_deepseek` | ✅ Inline | Pre-existing pattern |
+
+**The right move:** Lift the loop into a shared `run_with_tool_loop` helper that takes history management as injected parameters. Apply to all 8 vendors. This is a single-fix, 8-call-site refactor — much smaller than letting the duplication grow.
+
+The Tech Lead caught this at the end of Phase 4 (during the MiniMax refactor) but should have caught it at the end of Phase 2 (when the Qwen worker shipped single-shot) or the end of Phase 3 (when Grok+Llama workers shipped single-shot).
+
+---
+
+## 3. `src/models.py` has a PROVIDERS list — the user is right that this is sprawl
+
+**What's there now:**
+```python
+# src/models.py:79
+PROVIDERS: List[str] = ["gemini", "anthropic", "gemini_cli", "deepseek", "minimax", "qwen", "grok", "llama"]
+```
+
+**The problem:** `src/models.py` is for **MMA data models** (Tickets, Tracks, FileItem, WorkerContext, etc.). The vendor list is an **AI client concern**. The audit script `audit_no_models_config_io.py` enforces config I/O rules; PROVIDERS has no analogous enforcement.
+
+**The right move:** Move PROVIDERS to `src/ai_client.py` (or a new `src/ai_client_providers.py`). Add `scripts/audit_providers_source_of_truth.py` that fails the build if PROVIDERS is declared in models.py.
+
+The Tech Lead justified keeping it in models.py with "the centralized registry pattern" without asking whether models.py was the right home.
+
+---
+
+## 4. `src/ai_client.py` is 2784 lines and growing
+
+**What's there:** 8 vendor entry points (`_send_anthropic`, `_send_gemini`, `_send_gemini_cli`, `_send_deepseek`, `_send_minimax`, `_send_qwen`, `_send_grok`, `_send_llama`) plus all the supporting machinery (client init, history management, error classification, reasoning content extraction).
+
+**The 8 vendors' inline patterns are 70% similar.** Each has:
+- Client init (credentials + SDK setup)
+- History management (per-vendor lock + history list + repair + trim)
+- Message building (system + context + user content)
+- API call (via SDK or HTTP)
+- Tool loop (or single-shot — see gap #2)
+- Reasoning content extraction
+- Error classification
+
+**The right move:** Codepath consolidation. The shared `send_openai_compatible` covers the API call. A future `run_with_tool_loop` covers the tool loop (gap #2). What's left:
+- History management as a `VendorHistory` class or per-vendor thin wrapper
+- Reasoning content extraction as a uniform helper
+- Error classification as a per-HTTP-code helper
+
+Could cut `src/ai_client.py` by 30-40% (~1000 lines).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Local models deserve more emphasis
+
+**What's there now:** Ollama is one of 3 Llama backends (Ollama, OpenRouter, custom_url). The `cost_tracking: False` for localhost is a small signal.
+
+**The user feedback (verbatim):** "I want to put more emphasis and supporting local models and separating local model vending vis online/cloud vendors of models."
+
+**The right architecture:**
+- Add `local: bool` to VendorCapabilities (separate from `cost_tracking`)
+- Native Ollama (`/api/chat`) as the **default** for Llama (not the OpenAI-compatible fallback)
+- Meta Llama API as a 4th backend (the docs URL returned 400 last session; needs re-verification)
+- GUI: "Local Model" badge per-vendor
+- Cost panel: 4th state "Local (no cost)" distinct from "Free (local)" and "—"
+- vLLM, LM Studio, llama.cpp as additional custom-URL backends with discoverable presets
+
+This is a significant priority shift. The follow-up track's Phase 4 leads with this.
+
+---
+
+## 6. V2 matrix field expansion documented but not implemented
+
+**What the spec says (per Grok's consultation):** Add 12 new fields to VendorCapabilities:
+- `local: bool`
+- `reasoning: bool` (xAI `reasoning_effort`, Anthropic extended thinking, Ollama `think`)
+- `structured_output: bool` (response_format / format)
+- `code_execution: bool` (xAI code_interpreter, Anthropic Computer Use, Gemini Code Execution)
+- `web_search: bool` (xAI web_search, Gemini Grounding)
+- `x_search: bool` (xAI X/Twitter search)
+- `file_search: bool` (xAI file_search, Anthropic PDF, Gemini file API)
+- `mcp_support: bool` (xAI mcp_calls, Anthropic MCP)
+- `audio: bool` (Qwen-Audio, Gemini audio)
+- `video: bool` (Gemini video)
+- `grounding: bool` (Gemini Grounding with Google Search)
+- `computer_use: bool` (Anthropic Computer Use)
+
+**What shipped:** 0 of 12. None wired. No UI adaptations.
+
+The follow-up track's Phase 4 lands these.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek still not on the matrix
+
+**What's there:** These 3 vendors have unique APIs (4-breakpoint caching, genai SDK, raw HTTP) and the migration to the matrix is non-trivial. The follow-up track is documented (`parent spec §13.1.A`) but never scheduled.
+
+**The value:** Anthropic has prompt caching, extended thinking, Computer Use (big UX wins). Gemini has Grounding with Google Search, native video. DeepSeek has reasoning models.
+
+The follow-up track's Phase 5 lands these.
+
+---
+
+## Lessons (Tech Lead Process)
+
+1. **Surface gaps as they appear, not at the checkpoint.** If a task is going to be deferred mid-phase, say so immediately — don't footnote it later.
+2. **Be explicit about architectural deviations.** The `src/models.py` PROVIDERS sprawl should have been raised at Phase 2, not at Phase 5.
+3. **Plan for the test infrastructure before coding.** The tool-loop regression wasn't caught because no test exercised the loop.
+4. **The "footnote for now" pattern is bad UX.** It looks like the work was hidden until called out. Either ship the work or be explicit about deferring it BEFORE doing the work.
+
+## Follow-Up Track
+
+`conductor/tracks/qwen_llama_grok_followup_20260611/` — 5 phases:
+- Phase 1: Tool loop lift (run_with_tool_loop helper for 8 vendors)
+- Phase 2: PROVIDERS move (out of src/models.py)
+- Phase 3: UX adaptations 2-9 (8 of 9 deferred from parent Phase 5)
+- Phase 4: Local-first + matrix v2 expansion (12 new fields)
+- Phase 5: Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek migration
+
+## Parent Track Status
+
+`qwen_llama_grok_integration_20260606` is **NOT being archived** (per user directive). It stays open in `conductor/tracks/` for the follow-up to use as a reference. Phase 6 docs are being done now; the track folder remains at the same path.

+"""Tests for src.ai_client.run_with_tool_loop (shared tool-loop helper).
+
+5 Red tests. They verify:
+1. No-tool-call path: returns immediately after one send.
+2. Tool-call dispatch: dispatches via _execute_tool_calls_concurrently and
+   continues the loop.
+3. Max-rounds safety: bails out after MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS + 2 iterations.
+4. History append: appends an assistant message to the caller's history.
+5. Error tolerance: continues even if a tool errors.
+
+The helper lives in src.ai_client (per the AGENTS.md HARD RULE: no new
+src/<thing>.py files). The tests patch src.ai_client.send_openai_compatible
+because that's the symbol the function uses internally.
