+# Why this exists
+#
+# praisonai-agents has ~11,900 tests. Until this gate, CI executed 15 of them:
+# one smoke step in test-optimized.yml naming two files. Everything else was
+# collected by nobody.
+#
+# The cost of that showed up as two test modules that could not even be
+# IMPORTED -- they referenced symbols moved or replaced months earlier, so 19
+# tests silently contributed nothing while still appearing to exist. A failing
+# test is loud; a test that never collects is not.
+#
+# This job started as collection-only, because running the suite would have gone
+# red on arrival: 297 pre-existing failures nothing had been enforcing, and a job
+# that is red the day it lands teaches people to ignore it. Then a curated
+# green-set, ratcheted upward.
+#
+# Both are gone. The unit suite now runs in full and passes: 9373 tests, 0
+# failures. The `collect` job stays because it is the cheaper, stricter signal --
+# it cannot pass while a test file is unimportable, and it says so in 40s.

+# workflow with `working-directory: src/praisonai-ts` builds the package and
+# checks the webview bundle; the two other mentions of `npm test` in this

+# That mattered the moment the suite grew: PR #4755 added ~880 tests for the
+# Python-parity port and not one of them would have run here. A test nobody
+# executes is worse than no test, because it is counted as cover.
+#
+# Deliberately narrow, like its webview sibling: it runs only when
+# praisonai-ts changes, installs only what it needs, and asserts two things --
+# the package typechecks, and its tests pass.

 <summary><strong>How do I use a local model (Ollama)?</strong></summary>
 
 ```bash
-# Start Ollama server first
+# Start Ollama and pull a model
 ollama serve
-
-# Set environment variable
-export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
+ollama pull llama3.2
 ```
 
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+agent = Agent(instructions="You are a helpful assistant", llm="ollama/llama3.2")
+agent.start("Why is the sky blue?")
+```
+
+The `ollama/` prefix is what selects Ollama's handling — tool-call repair,
+tool-result formatting and the streaming rules small local models need. Or set
+it by environment instead:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_MODEL_NAME=ollama/llama3.2
+```
+
+Setting only `OPENAI_BASE_URL` is not enough: with no model named, the OpenAI
+default (`gpt-4o-mini`) is sent to Ollama, which answers
+`404 model 'gpt-4o-mini' not found`. Always name the model.
+
+Point at a non-default host with `base_url=` or `OLLAMA_HOST`:
+
+```python
+agent = Agent(instructions="...", llm="ollama/llama3.2", base_url="http://192.168.1.10:11434")
+```
+
+The same shape works for other local runtimes — `lm_studio/`, `vllm/` and
+`hosted_vllm/` with their server's `base_url`.
+

+# Ground truth
+
+Every claim here was measured, not estimated. Each carries **how** it was obtained so it can
+be re-checked cheaply. Measured 2026-09-03 against `origin/main` at `2591aa405`, with a live
+Ollama 0.33.2 (`b79067b0`) on `127.0.0.1:11434`.
+
+If a work order contradicts something here, re-measure before acting. Numbers drift.

+> **Capabilities are per-model, not per-server.** An early draft of this file attributed the

+> `["completion","tools","thinking"]` — **no vision**. Always name the model when quoting a
+> capability set.
+

+
+## 1. Runtime facts, verified live
+
+| Fact | Value | How to re-verify |
+|---|---|---|
+| Ollama liveness probe | `GET /` returns `200` with body `Ollama is running` | `curl -sI 127.0.0.1:11434/` |
+| Ollama version probe | `{"version":"0.33.2"}` | `curl -s 127.0.0.1:11434/api/version` |
+| Capability probe works | `qwen3:0.6b` → `["completion","tools","thinking"]` (the 9B tamil model, separately, → `[...,"vision"]`) | `curl -s :11434/api/show -d '{"model":"qwen3:0.6b"}' \| jq .capabilities` |
+| Unknown `options` keys are silently dropped | `{"totally_bogus_key":123}` → HTTP 200, no warning | send it to `/api/chat`; response is a normal completion |
+| Tool-param schema keywords are stripped | `minLength`, `format`, `default`, `additionalProperties` all absent from the rendered prompt | `/api/chat` with `_debug_render_only: true` and those keys set |
+| `parameters.type` must be a bare string | `"type": ["object","null"]` → **HTTP 400** `cannot unmarshal array into Go struct field ToolFunctionParameters...type of type string` | send that tool definition to `/api/chat` |
+| **`format` + `tools` are mutually destructive** | Tool call silently suppressed; model fabricates. Same request without `format` calls the tool correctly. | see §2 below |
+
+### Installed on this machine
+
+`ollama` (0.33.2), `llama-server` (b7620, Homebrew), `mlx_lm.server`, `hf` CLI.
+**Not** installed: `lms` (LM Studio), `vllm`.
+Ports open at time of measurement: `11434` only.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The reproduction that matters most
+
+`format` (JSON schema) plus `tools`, sent to Ollama, produces a **confident fabrication** with
+an HTTP 200 and no warning. The JSON grammar makes the tool-call tag unemittable, so the
+model cannot call the tool and answers from nothing instead.
+
+```
+POST /api/chat   model=qwen3:0.6b   think=false
+prompt: "What is the weather in Paris? Use the tool."
+tools:  [get_weather(city: string)]
+
+WITH format + tools                     -> HTTP 200
+  message.tool_calls : null
+  message.content    : {"answer": "The weather in Paris is sunny with a temperature of 15C."}
+
+TOOLS ONLY (format removed)             -> HTTP 200
+  message.tool_calls : [{"function": {"name": "get_weather",
+                                      "arguments": {"city": "Paris"}}}]
+  message.content    : ""
+```
+
+Consequence for design: this combination must **raise**, not be silently repaired. A
+fabricated answer that looks correct is worse than an error.

+anywhere, and with the three module functions that is 12 dead items. Note also that

+method is not part of the protocol it claims to implement.

+                                             1675 L     969 L     443 L

+_format_ollama_tool_result_message           1          1         1*  (indirect)
+```
+
+`get_response_stream` has none of the seven — except `_format_ollama_tool_result_message`,
+which it reaches indirectly via `_create_tool_message` (`llm.py:6791`), so that row overstated
+the gap. A fuller re-measurement found **16** divergent compensations, not 7; three of them run
+*against* the sync path. The full matrix is in `06-adapter-revival.md` §2.6. `difflib` similarity of `get_response` against
+`get_response_async` is **22.3%**, while the file's other four sync/async pairs are 76–91% —
+so those two have diverged, not merely duplicated.
+
+### Import graph — the I6 constraint
+
+65 subpackages, 212 directed edges, **26 mutually-importing pairs**. Heaviest:
+
+```
+agent   <-> tools       53 + 1        llm/ imports: tools 10, streaming 7,
+agent   <-> approval    28 + 1                      agent 4, telemetry 2,
+agent   <-> config      25 + 1                      auth 2, compaction 2,
+agent   <-> llm         19 + 4                      context 1, thinking 1
+llm     <-> tools       10 + 1
+context <-> llm          2 + 1        15 subpackages import llm/
+```
+
+### Reachability — the A3 finding
+
+21 modules call a provider SDK directly, bypassing both clients: 23 `litellm.completion/acompletion`,
+7 `litellm.embedding/aembedding`, 16 `chat.completions.create`, 3 bare `OpenAI()`.
+
+These nine contain **zero** occurrences of `api_base` or `base_url`, so there is no parameter
+to set — "run everything locally" is currently unachievable, not merely unconfigured:
+
+```
+memory/memory.py          workflows/workflows.py     eval/judge.py
+eval/grader.py            eval/accuracy.py           context/compressor.py
+context/optimizer.py      lite/__init__.py           telemetry/performance_monitor.py
+```
+
+Worst single case, `memory/memory.py:2186-2192`:
+
+```python
+from openai import OpenAI
+client = OpenAI()                    # no base_url, no api_key
+response = client.chat.completions.create(
+    model=llm or "gpt-4o-mini", ...
+```
+
+Hardcoded defaults in code (excluding docstrings): **105** `"gpt-4o-mini"`, **17**
+`"text-embedding-3-small"`. Sixteen of the 105 are the identical line
+`self.llm if hasattr(self,'llm') else "gpt-4o-mini"` in `agent/context_agent.py`.
+
+### Stringly-typed provider identity — the A6 finding
+
+**77 occurrences of 23 distinct string predicates** across `src/`. The same provider is
+tested inconsistently, which is precisely how D3 and D4 arose:
+
+```
+ 9  startswith("anthropic/")     gemini tested 3 ways:   gpt tested 4 ways:
+ 8  startswith("ollama/")          startswith("gemini")    startswith('gpt-')
+ 7  "ollama" in                    startswith("gemini/")   startswith("gpt-")
+ 6  startswith("gemini")           startswith('gemini-')   startswith("gpt")
+ 5  startswith("openai/")                                  "gpt" in
+ 5  startswith("claude")
+ 3  ":11434" in
+```
+
+### Accretion history — why boundaries matter here
+
+| File | First | Now | Commits | Ever shrank |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `llm/llm.py` | 1,212 (Jan 2025) | 7,160 | 251 | never, in 18 sampled months |
+| `agent/agent.py` | 1,251 (Jan 2025) | 7,701 | 472 | once — the split below |
+| `agent/chat_mixin.py` | created Apr 2026 | 6,151 | 150 | — |
+
+On **2026-04-01** `agent.py` was split 8,915 → 5,030 by extracting `chat_mixin.py`. Five
+months later the two halves total **13,852 lines — 55% above the pre-split file**, growing
+~33 lines/day. Moving code did not create a boundary. This is the argument for I6 being a
+*test* rather than a convention.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Dependency facts
+
+| Package | Version present | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `httpx` | 0.28.1 | **hard transitive dep** of required `openai>=2.0.0` (`httpx<1,>=0.23.0`) |
+| `aiohttp` | 3.14.1 | direct required core dep |
+| `openai` | 2.44.0 | direct required core dep |
+| `litellm` | 1.90.2 | optional (`llm`, `memory` extras) |
+
+`pyproject.toml` declares **17 optional extras** — `a2ui, api, all, auth, autonomy, crawl,
+dakera, graph, knowledge, llm, mcp, memory, mongodb, os, sandbox, search, telemetry` — and
+**none of them is local**. `import praisonaiagents` measures 0.04 s, so imports are lazy and
+cheap; discovery latency is the only startup cost to manage.
+
+**Conclusion (superseded).** This section originally concluded `local/` should use `httpx`.
+That was reversed by the normative decision in `07-local-package-spec.md` §3: `httpx` is present
+only as an **undeclared transitive** edge (`openai -> httpx`), so building the dependency sink on
+it means a future `openai` release dropping `httpx` would silently break `local/`. The client is
+therefore stdlib `urllib.request`, and the boundary test forbids `httpx`/`requests`/`aiohttp`.
+The measurement above stands; only the recommendation drawn from it was wrong.
+
+---
+
+## 5. litellm prefix resolution vs ours
+
+litellm 1.90.2 resolves all of these; PraisonAI's `_detect_provider` recognises only `ollama/`:
+
+```
+ollama/llama3.2       -> ollama   OllamaAdapter    repairs=2
+ollama_chat/llama3.2  -> openai   DefaultAdapter   repairs=0     <- litellm's RECOMMENDED prefix
+lm_studio/qwen        -> openai   DefaultAdapter   repairs=0
+vllm/x                -> openai   DefaultAdapter   repairs=0
+hosted_vllm/x         -> openai   DefaultAdapter   repairs=0
+huggingface/x         -> openai   DefaultAdapter   repairs=0
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Known-bad environment note
+
+`mervinpraison/praisonai-qwen3.5-9b-tamil-en2ta:latest` does **not load** on Ollama 0.33.2:
+`Failed to load CLIP model from ...sha256-11540ddc21b3...`, HTTP 500. The vision projector
+blob is the failing piece. Use `qwen3:0.6b` for local verification instead. Unrelated to this
+work, but it will waste an agent's time if not known.
+
+
+---
+
+## 7. The three response paths disagree — measured, not inferred
+
+Live Ollama, `temperature=0`, identical prompt and tool, two trials, reproducible
+(script in `06-adapter-revival.md` §2.7):
+
+```
+sync    calls=2   'Paris: 21C sunny. Paris: 21C sunny.'
+async   calls=1   'Paris: 21C sunny'
+stream  calls=10  ''
+```
+
+> **Corrected 2026-09-03.** An earlier draft recorded the sync path returning
+> `'{\n\n\n}'` with one tool call. That did not reproduce; the figures above did,
+> across two trials. The finding is unchanged — the paths disagree and the stream
+> path is broken — but the `'{\n\n\n}'` sample should not be cited.
+
+Three facts follow, and they reframe the work:
+
+1. **The best-compensated path produces the worst answer.** `get_response` carries 16 of the 18
+   compensations and calls the tool twice, returning a doubled answer;
+   `get_response_async` carries 8 and returns the correct answer once. More compensation is
+   not the goal — *the same* compensation is.
+2. **The stream path is not under-compensated, it is broken.** It burns all 10 iterations of
+   `max_iter`, invokes the tool **ten times** for a one-tool question, and yields nothing. That
+   is a cost and side-effect amplifier, not a formatting defect.
+3. Leading hypothesis for the sync/async split: `OLLAMA_FINAL_ANSWER_PROMPT` (`llm.py:5302`,
+   async only). **Still a hypothesis, not a measurement** — it was not settled during order 06,
+   because the corrected baseline changed what needs explaining.
+
+## 8. Two test-infrastructure traps
+
+- **`src/praisonai-agents/tests/` is almost entirely outside CI.** The only tests any workflow
+  runs from it are `tests/smoke/test_subscription_auth.py` and
+  `tests/unit/auth/test_agent_auth_wiring.py`. `tests/unit/test_adapter_registry.py` (38 tests)
+  and all 13 files in `tests/unit/llm/` run **nowhere**. Put new tests in
+  `src/praisonai/tests/unit/llm/`, which is run.
+- **`test_ollama_tool_reliability.py` tests a copy, not the product.** Its `MockLLM`
+  re-implements `_is_ollama_provider`, `_apply_ollama_defaults`, `_validate_tool_call`,
+  `_should_force_tool_usage` and both prompt templates. It cannot fail in response to any change
+  in `llm.py`. Do not treat it as a safety net.
+
+
+## 9. Test-gating facts (order 04)
+
+- **`not network`, not `provider_ollama`, is what deselects the mocked base_url suite.** The gating
+  plugin implies `network` from *any* provider marker (`test_gating.py:235-238`) and every CI
+  expression contains `not network`. Editing the workflows' `-m` strings accomplishes nothing.
+- `tests/unit/**` is **exempt** from provider auto-detection (`test_gating.py:215`,
+  `test_type != 'unit'`). That is why `tests/unit/llm/test_ollama_tool_reliability.py` runs in CI
+  while the integration file does not — and why live tests placed under `tests/unit/` need an
+  **explicit** marker.
+- `-m provider_ollama` currently selects **32 tests across 5 files**; only 7 are Ollama tests.
+- **4 of the 7 tests in `test_base_url_api_base_fix.py` fail when actually executed** —
+  `LLMResponseError: 'str' object has no attribute 'choices'`. The mock returns a dict; the
+  tool-calling loop needs an object with `.choices`.
+- **`tests/test_double_api_fix.py` makes a real network call when forced to run.** `llm.py` routes
+  `gpt-4o-mini` through `litellm.responses` (`llm.py:6434`), not `litellm.completion`, so its patch
+  no longer intercepts (verified: 401 from `api.openai.com/v1/responses`). It is currently masked
+  by an unconditional auto-skip — **anyone who "fixes" the skip without fixing the mock gets live
+  billed calls.**
+- **`network_guard.py` disables itself** for anything under `/integration/`, `/e2e/`, `/live/`
+  (lines 103-105) and for any `provider_*`-marked test (96-100). The suite's network blocker does
+  not cover the tests most likely to make network calls.
+- **A live Ollama suite already exists** and has never run:
+  `tests/integration/test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py`, 230 lines, 7 tests, gated on
+  `PRAISONAI_TEST_OLLAMA`. It is broken against `main` — all 7 pass `verbose=True` to `Agent()`,
+  and two pass `force_tool_usage=` / `max_tool_repairs=`; all three now raise `TypeError`.
+- **`qwen3:0.6b` is 522 MB** (not ~400 MB) and reports `completion, tools, thinking` — **no
+  vision**. Reliability through `Agent`: default 3/4; `force_tool_usage="always"` + `temperature=0`
+  **6/6**; multi-step arithmetic 0/2 (one hung past 90 s).

+**Measured:** clean worktree at `origin/main` (`2591aa405`), working tree clean.
+**Owns:** `src/praisonai/tests/_pytest_plugins/test_gating.py`, both `pytest.ini` files,
+`src/praisonai/tests/conftest.py`, `tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py`,
+`tests/unit/cli/test_test_command.py`.
+**Must not edit:** any `praisonaiagents/` source; `.github/workflows/**` (order 05).
+
+> **The audit's stated root cause was wrong, and the correction changes the fix.**
+> `provider_ollama` is a red herring. **`not network` deselects all 7 tests on its own**, because
+> the plugin implies `network` from *any* provider marker and the file also matches
+> `provider_openai`. **Removing `not provider_ollama` from the workflows would change nothing.**
+> The fix must be marker-side, not workflow-side. This is why order 04 touches no YAML.

+
+## 1. Corrections to the audit
+
+| # | Claim | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 4 CI marker expressions carry `not provider_ollama` | **True but incomplete** — there is a 5th, non-CI location: `src/praisonai-code/praisonai_code/cli/commands/test.py:67` (`praisonai test --tier main`). |
+| 2 | 7 tests, all deselected | **Exactly true** (`collected 7 items / 7 deselected / 0 selected`). **Stated cause is wrong** — see the callout above. |
+| 3 | The file never inspects `litellm.completion` kwargs | **True** (only `mock_completion.assert_called()`). **And worse: 4 of the 7 tests fail outright when executed.** They are not merely toothless, they are broken. |
+| 4 | `test_double_api_fix.py`: 0 asserts, 34 prints | **True. And worse:** all 3 tests are auto-`skip`ped in every configuration, and when forced to run its `patch('litellm.completion')` no longer intercepts — `llm.py` routes `gpt-4o-mini` through `litellm.responses`, so it makes a **real network call** (verified: 401 from `api.openai.com/v1/responses`). |
+| 5 | `test_ollama_tool_reliability.py` asserts against MockLLM | **True.** 541 lines, MockLLM at 23–197, 28 tests, all pass. **Quantified:** 2 of the 8 re-implemented methods (`_apply_ollama_defaults`, `_try_parse_tool_call_json`) **do not exist on the real `LLM` at all.** |
+| 6 | agents-side ollama tests gated only by `OLLAMA_HOST` | **True**, and `test_ollama_fix_openai` is gated only by `OPENAI_API_KEY` — a live **billed** call on a plain `pytest`. Mitigating: no CI workflow runs these two files. |
+| 7 | No ollama live job | **True for CI**, but the audit **missed that the suite already exists**: `tests/integration/test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py`, 230 lines, 7 tests, gated on `PRAISONAI_TEST_OLLAMA=1`. It is **broken against current `main`**. See order 05. |

+
+## 2. Reproduce before the fix
+
+```bash
+cd src/praisonai && export PYTHONPATH=$(cd ../praisonai-agents && pwd)
+CI_M="not slow and not network and not local_service and not provider_anthropic and not provider_google and not provider_ollama and not provider_grok_xai and not provider_groq and not provider_cohere"
+```
+
+**R1 — 100% deselected:**
+```bash
+python -m pytest tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py -m "$CI_M" --collect-only -q --disable-warnings
+# collected 7 items / 7 deselected / 0 selected
+```
+
+**R2 — `provider_ollama` is a red herring.** Rerun R1 with `and not provider_ollama` **removed**:
+still `7 deselected / 0 selected`. `not network` does it alone.
+
+**R3 — the whole file is tagged.** With a marker-dump plugin, all seven items carry the identical
+set `['integration', 'network', 'provider_ollama', 'provider_openai', 'skip']` — including the six
+that never mention Ollama.
+
+**R4 — 4 of 7 fail when actually executed:**
+```bash
+PRAISONAI_ALLOW_NETWORK=1 PRAISONAI_TEST_PROVIDERS=all OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-fake-offline \
+  python -m pytest tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py -o addopts="" -q --tb=no -rA
+# 4 failed, 3 passed
+```
+All four fail with `LLMResponseError: ... 'str' object has no attribute 'choices'`. The three that
+pass are the three that never call `get_response()`.
+
+**R5 — `-m provider_ollama` selects 4× more than it should:**
+```
+   7 tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py
+   7 tests/integration/test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py
+  11 tests/integration/test_rag_integration.py
+   4 tests/integration/test_setup_integration.py
+   3 tests/test_double_api_fix.py
+```
+**32 selected; only 7 are Ollama tests.** This is why order 04 is a hard prerequisite for order 05 —
+`-m provider_ollama` is currently not a usable selector.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Root cause
+
+`test_gating.py:153-166` scans the **entire file**:
+
+```python
+153  def _detect_providers_in_file(filepath: Path) -> Set[str]:
+154      """Detect which providers are referenced in a test file."""
+...
+161      content = _get_file_content(filepath)
+162      detected = set()
+163      for marker, pattern in PROVIDER_PATTERNS.items():
+164          if pattern.search(content):
+165              detected.add(marker)
+166      return detected
+```
+
+Line 28 is `'provider_ollama': re.compile(r'\b(ollama)\b', re.IGNORECASE)`. One occurrence inside
+`test_ollama_environment_variable_compatibility` tags all seven items (applied at lines 213–230).
+
+Note line 215: `if item.fspath and test_type != 'unit'` — **`tests/unit/**` is exempt**, which is
+why `tests/unit/llm/test_ollama_tool_reliability.py` runs in CI while the integration file does not.
+
+**The second mechanism, which the audit missed**, is lines 235–238:
+
+```python
+235          # 3. Add network marker if any provider marker is present
+236          provider_markers = {m for m in existing_markers if m.startswith('provider_')}
+237          if provider_markers and 'network' not in existing_markers:
+238              item.add_marker(pytest.mark.network)
+```
+
+A mocked test that merely *mentions* `openai` gets `network`, and every CI expression contains
+`not network`. Lines 262–267 then convert it into a runtime skip.
+
+**Sub-defect 3.** Lines 59, 145, 177, 234 are all bare `mock_completion.assert_called()`. Nothing
+reads `call_args`. Measured: `LLM(model='openai/mistral', base_url='http://localhost:4000',
+api_key='sk-test').get_response("test", stream=False)` calls `litellm.completion` with
+`base_url='http://localhost:4000'` and `api_base=None`. **So the file's title is stale** — the real
+invariant is *`base_url` survives into the call*, not "maps to `api_base`".
+
+---
+
+## 4. The change
+
+**Design decision: AST per-test marking, not file splitting.**
+
+- *Split the file* — cost cheap, **benefit zero** (measured, R2): the six non-Ollama tests still
+  match `provider_openai`, still get `network`, still get deselected. It also leaves `-m
+  provider_ollama` selecting 32 tests and fixes nothing for the other 14 mixed-provider files.
+  **Rejected.**
+- *AST per-test marking* — one change in one plugin, fixes the class of problem, and is the
+  prerequisite for order 05's selector to mean anything. **Recommended.**
+
+### Sub-change 1 — per-test provider detection via AST
+
+Keep `_detect_providers_in_file` (it now serves only the `network` marker) and add:
+
+```python
+def _detect_providers_in_text(text: str) -> Set[str]:
+    """Return every provider marker whose pattern appears in ``text``."""
+    detected = set()
+    for marker, pattern in PROVIDER_PATTERNS.items():
+        if pattern.search(text):
+            detected.add(marker)
+    return detected
+
+
+def _build_per_test_provider_map(filepath: Path) -> Optional[Dict[tuple, Set[str]]]:
+    """Map ``(class_name, func_name)`` -> provider markers for one test file.
+
+    The text considered for a test is that test's own source segment plus its
+    decorators -- not the whole file. Returns ``None`` if the file cannot be
+    parsed, so callers fall back to whole-file rather than under-marking.
+    """
+    key = str(filepath)
+    if key in _file_provider_cache:
+        return _file_provider_cache[key]
+    result: Optional[Dict[tuple, Set[str]]] = None
+    try:
+        source = _get_file_content(filepath)
+        tree = ast.parse(source)
+        result = {}
+
+        def _visit(node, class_name=None):
+            for child in getattr(node, 'body', ()):
+                if isinstance(child, ast.ClassDef):
+                    _visit(child, child.name)
+                elif isinstance(child, (ast.FunctionDef, ast.AsyncFunctionDef)):
+                    segment = ast.get_source_segment(source, child) or ""
+                    for decorator in child.decorator_list:
+                        segment += "\n" + (ast.get_source_segment(source, decorator) or "")
+                    result[(class_name, child.name)] = _detect_providers_in_text(segment)
+
+        _visit(tree)
+    except (SyntaxError, ValueError, RecursionError):
+        result = None
+    _file_provider_cache[key] = result
+    return result
+
+
+def _detect_providers_for_item(item) -> Set[str]:
+    """Provider markers for a single collected item (per test, not per file)."""
+    filepath = Path(item.fspath)
+    if _is_excluded_path(str(filepath)):
+        return set()
+    per_test = _build_per_test_provider_map(filepath)
+    if per_test is None:
+        return _detect_providers_in_file(filepath)
+    parts = item.nodeid.split("::")[1:]
+    if not parts:
+        return _detect_providers_in_file(filepath)
+    func = parts[-1].split("[")[0]
+    cls = parts[-2] if len(parts) >= 2 else None
+    if (cls, func) in per_test:
+        return set(per_test[(cls, func)])
+    if (None, func) in per_test:
+        return set(per_test[(None, func)])
+    # Dynamically generated item we cannot locate in the AST: stay conservative.
+    return _detect_providers_in_file(filepath)
+```
+
+Add `import ast`, a `_file_provider_cache: Dict[str, Optional[Dict[tuple, Set[str]]]] = {}` next to
+`_file_content_cache` (line 46), and clear it in `pytest_configure` (186) and
+`pytest_sessionfinish` (294).
+
+### Sub-change 2 — `offline` opt-out, and pin `network` to the file
+
+Replace lines 213–230 with a version that (a) honours an explicit `offline` marker, (b) calls
+`_detect_providers_for_item`, and (c) **keeps `network` whole-file derived**:
+
+```python
+                offline = 'offline' in existing_markers
+                if not offline:
+                    detected_providers = _detect_providers_for_item(item)
+                    for marker, pattern in PROVIDER_PATTERNS.items():
+                        if pattern.search(item.nodeid):
+                            detected_providers.add(marker)
+                    for provider in detected_providers:
+                        if provider not in existing_markers:
+                            item.add_marker(getattr(pytest.mark, provider))
+                    # The `network` marker stays WHOLE-FILE derived. Narrowing
+                    # the provider markers must not, by itself, un-deselect a
+                    # test that is really live -- only `offline` does that.
+                    if _detect_providers_in_file(filepath) and 'network' not in existing_markers:
+                        item.add_marker(pytest.mark.network)
+```
+
+**Why `network` stays file-derived — this is the whole backward-compatibility story and is not
+optional.** Measured: if per-test narrowing were also allowed to narrow `network`, **48 currently-
+deselected integration tests would newly select, 25 of them with no `skipif` — they would actually
+execute**, across nine files including `test_rag_live.py` and `test_model_routing_real.py`, in a
+suite where the network guard is disabled for everything under `/integration/`
+(`network_guard.py:103-105`). Pinning `network` to the file makes sub-change 1 provably
+**selection-neutral** under every existing `-m` expression, while still making `-m provider_ollama`
+mean what it says.
+
+Register the marker in both `pytest.ini` files and `tests/conftest.py`:
+```
+    offline: Fully mocked - opt out of provider/network auto-marking
+```
+
+### Sub-change 3 — opt the file in, and make it guard its bug
+
+Add `pytestmark = pytest.mark.offline` plus a response factory:
+
+```python
+def make_completion_response(text="Test response"):
+    """A litellm.completion stand-in the LLM tool-calling loop can consume.
+
+    A bare dict is NOT sufficient: the loop reads ``.choices[0].message`` and a
+    dict raises ``'str' object has no attribute 'choices'``.
+    """
+    resp = MagicMock()
+    resp.choices = [MagicMock()]
+    resp.choices[0].message.content = text
+    resp.choices[0].message.tool_calls = None
+    resp.choices[0].finish_reason = "stop"
+    return resp
+```
+
+For each of the four broken tests: replace the dict `return_value` with
+`make_completion_response(...)`, pass `stream=False` to `get_response`, and replace
+`mock_completion.assert_called()` with a real kwarg assertion:
+
+```python
+        kwargs = mock_completion.call_args.kwargs
+        assert kwargs['base_url'] == 'http://localhost:4000'
+        assert kwargs['api_key'] == 'sk-test'
+        assert kwargs['model'] == 'openai/mistral'
+```
+
+- `test_koboldcpp_specific_scenario` → `kwargs['base_url'] == "http://127.0.0.1:5001/v1"`
+- `test_litellm_documentation_example_compatibility` → `kwargs['base_url'] == "http://0.0.0.0:4000"`
+- `test_ollama_environment_variable_compatibility` → `kwargs['model'] == 'ollama/llama2'` **and**
+  `'base_url' not in kwargs` (none was configured; the env path must not inject one)
+
+All four were run standalone against `main` and pass. Leave the three currently-passing tests alone.
+
+Update the stale module docstring ("maps base_url to api_base" → "base_url must reach litellm") but
+**do not rename the test functions** — the nodeids are referenced in issue discussion, and renaming
+would change what the nodeid scan at plugin lines 224–226 sees.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Backward-compatibility contract
+
+Baseline, measured (`tests/integration/`, CI ignores applied): **290 collected, 187 selected,
+103 deselected** under the CI marker expression.
+
+> Caveat for the executing agent: a cold first invocation on a fresh interpreter has been observed
+> to report `157/260`, apparently an optional-dependency import warming effect. **Run it twice**;
+> `187/290/103` is stable from the second run on. Take your own baseline before touching anything.
+
+**Tests whose selection status changes: exactly 7**, all in `test_base_url_api_base_fix.py`, all
+deselected → selected. Post-fix expectation: **194/290 (96 deselected)**. Nothing else moves in
+either direction — that is what the file-derived `network` guarantees.
+
+Intended change under `-m provider_ollama` (32 → 9):
+
+| file | before | after |
+|---|---|---|
+| `test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py` | 7 | 7 |
+| `test_base_url_api_base_fix.py` | 7 | 0 (`offline`) |
+| `test_rag_integration.py` | 11 | 1 |
+| `test_setup_integration.py` | 4 | 0 |
+| `test_double_api_fix.py` | 3 | 1 |
+
+**The risk, stated plainly.** Un-deselecting tests turns CI red if any fail. **They do: 4 of the 7
+fail today** (R4). This is not hypothetical.
+
+**Mitigation — mandatory, not optional: land the gating fix and the four repairs in the same PR.**
+Do not merge sub-changes 1+2 with the `pytestmark` but without the repairs. **Quarantining with
+`xfail` is explicitly rejected** — the repairs are ~10 lines each, verified working, and an `xfail`
+here would recreate the exact defect being fixed (a test that names a bug and does not guard it).
+
+**Escape hatch.** If the 7 prove flaky in CI for a reason not reproducible locally, revert
+**sub-change 3 only**. Selection returns to 187/290/103 and the plugin improvements stay.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Tests to add
+
+In `tests/unit/cli/test_test_command.py` (the existing home of gating-plugin tests, and already in
+`EXCLUDED_PATHS`, so these cannot be auto-marked by the thing they test), add
+`class TestProviderMarkerGranularity` with:
+
+- `test_ollama_does_not_leak_to_sibling_tests` — **THE meta-test.** If this fails, D7 has regressed.
+- `test_openai_does_not_leak_to_sibling_tests`
+- `test_plain_test_gets_no_provider_markers`
+- `test_decorators_are_scanned` — a `@pytest.mark.parametrize("m", ["ollama/llama2"])` must mark it
+- `test_unparseable_file_falls_back_to_whole_file` — conservative over-marking on a parse failure
+- `test_network_marker_remains_whole_file_derived` — pins the decision that keeps this change
+  selection-neutral for the 96 still-deselected tests
+- `test_offline_marker_is_registered` — both `pytest.ini` files, or every use warns
+
+No new dependency: `ast`, `tmp_path` and `configparser` are stdlib/pytest builtins.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Verification and acceptance
+
+```bash
+# 1. The 7 are now selected
+python -m pytest tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py -m "$CI_M" --collect-only -q
+# expect: 7 selected, 0 deselected
+
+# 2. They pass offline, with no keys and no services
+env -u OPENAI_API_KEY -u ANTHROPIC_API_KEY -u OLLAMA_HOST \
+  python -m pytest tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py -m "$CI_M" -o addopts="" -q
+# expect: 7 passed
+
+# 3. Selection neutral everywhere else
+python -m pytest tests/integration/ $IG -o addopts="" -q --collect-only -m "$CI_M" | tail -1
+# expect: 194/290 tests collected (96 deselected)
+
+# 4. `-m provider_ollama` now means Ollama  -> 7 + 1 + 1, not 32
+# 5. Meta-tests pass
+# 6. The three CI shards reproduced verbatim do not regress
+# 7. The two pytest.ini marker tables stay in sync
+```
+
+**Acceptance gate:** `tests/integration/` collects **194/290 (96 deselected)** — exactly seven more
+than baseline, all seven from `test_base_url_api_base_fix.py` — **and passes with
+`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `OLLAMA_HOST` all unset and no Ollama server running.**
+
+**PR title:** `fix(tests): mark provider tests per test function, not per file`
+
+---
+
+## 8. Filed for separate PRs
+
+- **`tests/test_double_api_fix.py`'s mock no longer intercepts.** `llm.py` routes `gpt-4o-mini`
+  through `litellm.responses` (`llm.py:6434`), not `litellm.completion`. Forced to run, it makes a
+  **real OpenAI request** (verified: 401 for `https://api.openai.com/v1/responses`). Today it is
+  masked by an unconditional auto-`skip` — **anyone who "fixes" the skip without fixing the mock
+  gets live billed calls.**
+- **`network_guard.py` disables itself for `/integration/`, `/e2e/`, `/live/`** (lines 103–105) and
+  for any `provider_*`-marked test (96–100). The suite's network blocker does not cover the tests
+  most likely to make network calls.

+# 05 — Live local-model CI job
+
+**Branch:** `feat/ci-ollama-live-job`
+**Depends on:** order `04` must merge first. Before it, `-m provider_ollama` selects 32 tests
+across 5 files (25 of which are not Ollama tests) and this job is unbuildable.
+**Owns:** `.github/workflows/test-optimized.yml`,
+`src/praisonai/tests/integration/test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py`.
+**Must not edit:** `test_gating.py` (order 04); the `smoke` / `main` / `openai-live` jobs; anything
+in `test-core.yml`; `src/praisonai-agents/tests/test_ollama_{fix,async_fix}.py`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The suite already exists — and is broken
+
+The audit concluded "no ollama live job, and no live suite". The first half is right; **the second
+is wrong**. `src/praisonai/tests/integration/test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py` is 230 lines,
+7 tests, gated at lines 19–22 on `PRAISONAI_TEST_OLLAMA`. It has never run anywhere.
+
+Measured against `main`, **it cannot run** — three `Agent()` kwargs are now rejected:
+
+```
+$ python -c "from praisonaiagents import Agent; Agent(name='C', llm='ollama/qwen3:0.6b', verbose=True)"
+TypeError: Agent.__init__() got unexpected keyword argument(s): verbose
+  verbose: verbosity moved into output=; use output='verbose' (or output=OutputConfig(verbose=True)).
+
+$ ... Agent(..., force_tool_usage="always")   -> TypeError: unexpected keyword argument(s): force_tool_usage
+$ ... Agent(..., max_tool_repairs=3)          -> TypeError: unexpected keyword argument(s): max_tool_repairs
+```
+
+All 7 tests use `verbose=True`; two also use the other two. **Every test errors on construction.**
+The modern form, verified working:
+
+```python
+Agent(name="C",
+      llm={"model": "ollama/qwen3:0.6b", "force_tool_usage": "always", "max_tool_repairs": 3},
+      tools=[calculator])
+# -> llm_instance.force_tool_usage == 'always', llm_instance.max_tool_repairs == 3
+```
+
+So this order is **"fix a dead test file and wire it up"**, not "write a live suite".
+
+---
+
+## 2. Model selection
+
+Measured on a real Ollama 0.33.2 host:
+
+```
+$ ollama list

+$ ollama show qwen3:0.6b
+  parameters       751.63M      quantization  Q4_K_M      context length  40960

+```
+
+**Two corrections:** the blob is **522 MB**, not ~400 MB; and it is **not vision capable** —
+`completion, tools, thinking` only. Tools + thinking is all this job needs.
+
+**Reliability, measured end-to-end through `praisonaiagents.Agent`:**
+
+| configuration | trials | tool invoked + correct answer | latency |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| default | 4 | **3/4** — one run returned `{}` with no tool call | 0.5–5.4 s |
+| `force_tool_usage="always"`, `temperature=0` | 6 | **6/6** | 0.4–4.0 s |
+| indirect prompt ("I know it's easy, but use the tool") | 1 | 0/1 — emitted `{"type": "calculator", ...}`, wrong key | 0.6 s |
+| multi-step `(17+25)+(8+9)` | 2 | 1 hung past 90 s; 1 answered 42 instead of 59 | — |
+
+**Conclusion: `qwen3:0.6b` is the right model, but only the forced, zero-temperature, single-call
+prompt is CI-deterministic.**
+
+Rejected alternatives: `qwen2.5:0.5b` (~400 MB, older tool calling, unmeasured — no reason to
+prefer it over a verified model); `llama3.2:1b` (~1.3 GB, 2.5× the cache for no measured gain);
+`smollm2:135m` (**no `tools` capability — disqualifying**); `olmo-3` (the file's current default,
+~7B, far too large per run). Keep `olmo-3` as the *local* default so developer workflow is
+unchanged; let CI override via env var.
+
+**Cache:** `~/.ollama/models`, keyed `${{ runner.os }}-ollama-models-${{ env.OLLAMA_TEST_MODEL }}`.
+**No `restore-keys`** — a partial restore of a *different* model's blobs is worse than a clean
+pull, and a stale key would silently test the wrong model.
+
+**Install:** pinned release tarball, not `curl https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh`. The install
+script tracks latest, so the job would silently change what it tests, and it pulls GPU runtimes a
+CPU-only runner never uses. Expect ~20–60 s tarball + ~30–90 s cold model pull, near-zero on a
+cache hit — **the executing agent must confirm real timings on the first green run and write them
+into a YAML comment.**
+
+**Gating:** `if: github.event_name == 'schedule' || github.event.inputs.tier == 'extended' ||
+github.event.inputs.tier == 'nightly'` — byte-identical to `extended-anthropic` (line 467),
+`extended-google` (525), `extended-groq` (585), `extended-xai` (644), `extended-cohere` (703).
+**It never runs on a pull request.**
+
+---
+
+## 3. One deliberate departure from the sibling jobs
+
+Every existing live job ends `|| echo "... tests completed"`, so **it can never fail**. That is
+defensible for key-dependent jobs — a rotated secret should not page anyone — but it is exactly
+the "test that cannot fail" pattern this whole effort exists to remove, and **Ollama needs no
+secret**: availability is fully under the job's control.
+
+So the job has **two run steps**:
+1. a **required** minimum-contract step with **no `|| echo`**;
+2. an **informational** step for the measured-flaky remainder, keeping the sibling style.
+
+**Do not merge them.**
+
+---
+
+## 4. Test-file changes
+
+1. After `pytestmark`, add the model indirection:
+   ```python
+   # CI overrides this with a small, fast model; local runs keep olmo-3.
+   OLLAMA_MODEL = "ollama/" + os.getenv("PRAISONAI_OLLAMA_TEST_MODEL", "olmo-3")
+   ```
+2. Replace all 7 hard-coded `llm="ollama/olmo-3"` with `llm=OLLAMA_MODEL`.
+3. Remove `verbose=True` from all 7 `Agent(...)` calls. Where verbosity is wanted: `output="verbose"`.
+4. Move `force_tool_usage="always"` and `max_tool_repairs=3` into an `llm` dict.
+5. Add the CI-minimum test as a new first class — **the only assertion in the file with a measured
+   6/6 pass rate**:
+
+```python
+class TestOllamaCIMinimum:
+    """The minimum contract a local model must satisfy: a tool call round-trips.
+
+    Deliberately narrow. Measured on qwen3:0.6b: this exact configuration
+    (forced tool usage, temperature 0, single arithmetic step) passed 6/6.
+    The default configuration passed 3/4 and multi-step prompts were worse --
+    those live in TestOllamaToolCallingLive, which CI runs informationally.
+    """
+
+    def test_tool_call_round_trips(self, ollama_available):
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+        invocations = []
+
+        def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
+            """Add two integers together.
+
+            Args:
+                a: First number to add
+                b: Second number to add
+            """
+            invocations.append((a, b))
+            return a + b
+
+        agent = Agent(
+            name="CI Calculator",
+            llm={"model": OLLAMA_MODEL, "force_tool_usage": "always", "temperature": 0},
+            tools=[add],
+        )
+        result = agent.chat("Compute 17 + 25. You MUST use the calculator tool.")
+
+        # 1. the model actually called our function, with the right arguments
+        assert invocations == [(17, 25)], f"tool was not invoked: {invocations!r}"
+        # 2. the tool's return value made it back into the model's answer
+        assert "42" in str(result), f"tool result did not round-trip: {result!r}"
+```
+
+Reuse the existing `ollama_available` fixture (lines 48–53) — it already probes
+`http://localhost:11434/api/tags` and skips cleanly. Do not add a second probe.
+
+### Why both assertions are needed
+
+`qwen3:0.6b` answers `17 + 25 = 42` **correctly with no tools at all** (measured, 1.2 s,
+`tools=[]`). So a bare `assert "42" in result` is satisfied by a model that ignores tools entirely.
+The `invocations == [(17, 25)]` half is what proves the tool call was emitted, parsed and
+dispatched with the right arguments; the `"42"` half proves the return value was fed back and
+reached the final answer. Anything beyond this — multi-step chains, repair loops, resisting
+distraction — is measured-flaky on a 0.6B model and belongs in the informational step.

+**Status:** every order below has an open PR. See §4.

+
+## 0. How to use this document
+
+This directory is a **work-order ledger**. It exists so that any agent — including one
+with no memory of the conversation that produced it — can pick up exactly one unit of
+work and execute it correctly, in isolation, without re-deriving the analysis.
+
+**If you are an agent starting work here, do this in order:**
+
+1. Read [`00-ground-truth.md`](00-ground-truth.md). It records what was measured, how, and
+   when. Do not trust a claim in any work order that contradicts it; re-measure instead.
+2. Read §2 (Invariants) and §3 (File ownership) of this file. §3 is what stops two agents
+   corrupting each other's work.
+3. Open the single work order you were assigned. Execute only that one.
+4. Update the status row in §4 of this file in the same commit as your change. That row is
+   the only shared file content; keep the edit to one line to avoid conflicts.
+
+**Do not** expand scope, batch two work orders into one PR, or "fix while you're in there".
+Each order is independently revertible by design and that property is worth more than
+convenience.
+
+> **Two corrections this ledger has already had to make.** Both were caught by measuring rather
+> than reasoning, and both would have sent an agent down the wrong path.
+>
+> **The D7 root cause is not `provider_ollama`.** The audit blamed the per-file `provider_ollama`
+> tag. Measurement (`04-test-gating.md` §2) shows `not network` deselects all seven tests **on its
+> own**, because the plugin implies `network` from *any* provider marker and the file also matches
+> `provider_openai`. **Removing `not provider_ollama` from the workflows would change nothing.**
+> That is why order `04` touches no YAML at all — the fix is marker-side.
+> Its first draft told an agent to "wire
+> the twelve dead adapter methods". Measurement (`06-adapter-revival.md` §1) says the opposite:
+> **12 of 20 items should be deleted, only 3 wired.** Six of the dead methods have no inline
+> equivalent anywhere — they are speculative API, and an agent told to "wire them up" would
+> invent an implementation that no test could ever have failed against. Read the decision table
+> before touching `llm/adapters/`; do not act on the summary in §1 of this file.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Why this work exists
+
+Every local runtime worth supporting already speaks `POST /v1/chat/completions`, and
+`litellm` already handles that transport. So the problem is not calling local models — the
+SDK can already do that. The problems are:
+
+- **Discovery.** A user with a running daemon still hand-types a URL, a port and an exact
+  model tag; getting any one wrong produces `OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable is required`.
+- **Capability.** "Does this model support tools?" is answerable by asking the server
+  (`/api/show`, `/props`, `/server_info`). The SDK asks nothing and guesses from a name prefix.
+- **Quirks.** Local stacks fail silently with HTTP 200. The sharpest: sending `format` and
+  `tools` together to Ollama suppresses the tool call and the model fabricates an answer.
+
+The layer being built is therefore a **resolver, not a transport**: it returns data about
+what is running and what it will get wrong. Compensating behaviour stays in
+`llm/adapters/`, which already declares methods for exactly this purpose.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Invariants — never break these
+
+These come from `src/praisonai-agents/AGENTS.md` §4.6 plus the structural review in
+`00-ground-truth.md`. Every work order inherits them; none may waive them.
+
+| # | Invariant | Why it binds this work specifically |
+|---|-----------|--------------------------------------|
+| I1 | **Backward compatible.** Public API changes need a deprecation cycle. | Several fixes change which code path a given input takes. Each order carries an explicit list of inputs whose behaviour must not change. |
+| I2 | **Lazy imports.** Optional deps never imported at module level. | Discovery must not import `litellm` or any runtime SDK at import time. |
+| I3 | **Safe defaults.** New features are opt-in. | Discovery must not fire unless the model spec is `"local"` or unset. Never probe the network on a fully-specified config. |
+| I4 | **Deterministic tests.** No dependence on timing or external state. | Every test must pass with **no server running**. Live-server tests go behind an explicit marker and never run in the default suite. |
+| I5 | **Protocol-driven core.** No heavy implementations in core. | `local/` returns dataclasses. It performs no chat calls, no retry, no request mutation. |
+| I6 | **`local/` is a dependency sink.** | It may import the **standard library only** — nothing from `praisonaiagents`, and no third-party distribution (`httpx`/`requests`/`aiohttp` are forbidden; use `urllib.request`). Enforced by a test. See §5 and `07` §3. |
+| I7 | **No second abstraction.** | `llm/adapters/` is the extension point. Do not add a parallel quirk/adapter registry beside it. |
+| I8 | **No new public knobs without a live consumer.** | Root `AGENTS.md`: do not add params, modules or exports that merely duplicate existing behaviour. |
+
+### I6 in detail — the import rule
+
+An AST pass over `praisonaiagents/` (595 files, 238,936 lines) found **65 subpackages, 212
+directed edges and 26 mutually-importing subpackage pairs**. `llm/` already imports upward
+into `agent/`, and 15 subpackages import `llm/` back. Consequently a shared helper placed in
+`llm/` **cannot** be adopted by `memory/` or `eval/` without deepening the existing cycles.
+
+`local/` is therefore specified as a leaf. That single property is what allows the 21
+modules which currently bypass the LLM layer to adopt it later. Treat any import of
+`praisonaiagents.*` from inside `local/` as a build break, not a style issue.
+
+The HTTP client is stdlib `urllib.request`, **not** `httpx`. An earlier draft of this ledger
+permitted `httpx` on the grounds that it is a transitive dependency of `openai>=2.0.0`. That
+was reversed in `07` §3: the edge is undeclared in `pyproject.toml`, so a future `openai`
+release that drops `httpx` would silently break the sink — precisely the class of failure this
+package exists to catalogue. The boundary test in §5 hard-forbids `httpx`/`requests`/`aiohttp`
+so the decision cannot drift.
+
+---

+## 3. File ownership — collision avoidance
+
+Two work orders that touch the same file **must not run concurrently**. This table is the
+authority. Before starting, check that no in-flight PR owns your files.
+
+| Work order | Owns (may edit) | Must not edit |
+|---|---|---|
+| `01-d1-default-model` | `agent/agent.py` (branch chain only) | `llm/llm.py`, `llm/adapters/` |
+| `02-d3-provider-detection` | `llm/llm.py` (`_detect_provider`, `_is_ollama_provider` only) | `agent/agent.py`, `llm/adapters/` |
+| `03-d2-base-url-routing` | `agent/agent.py` (base_url branch), root `README.md` | `llm/llm.py`, `llm/adapters/` |
+| `04-test-gating` | `tests/_pytest_plugins/test_gating.py`, both `pytest.ini`, `tests/conftest.py`, `tests/integration/test_base_url_api_base_fix.py`, `tests/unit/cli/test_test_command.py` | any `praisonaiagents/` source; **`.github/workflows/**` — the `-m` expressions are not the bug** |
+| `05-live-ci-job` | `.github/workflows/test-optimized.yml`, `tests/integration/test_ollama_tool_calling_live.py` | any `praisonaiagents/` source; `test_gating.py` |
+| `06-adapter-revival` | `llm/adapters/__init__.py`, `llm/llm.py` (3 response paths) | `agent/agent.py` |
+| `07-local-package` | `praisonaiagents/local/**` (new), `src/praisonai/tests/unit/llm/local/**` (new), `pyproject.toml` extras | everything else |
+| `08-reachability` | `memory/`, `eval/`, `context/`, `lite/`, `telemetry/` | `llm/`, `agent/` |
+
+### Enforced serialisation
+
+- **`01` then `03`** — both edit `agent/agent.py`. Land `01` first.
+- **`02` then `06`** — both edit `llm/llm.py`. Land `02` first; it is far smaller.
+- **`04` then `05`** — before `04`, `-m provider_ollama` selects 32 tests across 5 files (only 7
+  are Ollama tests), so `05` has no usable selector and is unbuildable.
+- **`04` and `07` are independent** of orders 01/02/03/06 and may run in parallel with them.
+- **`08` requires `07`** to have landed, because it consumes `local/`.

+D4 (local route prefixes) #4798, D5 (local embedding dimensions) #4802,
+D6 (registry accepts local providers) #4800.
+
+**Three claims in this ledger were corrected by executing it.** Each is marked
+inline where it appears, but they are collected here because a reader who trusts
+the summary would otherwise carry the wrong version:
+
+1. *"Wire the twelve dead adapter methods."* Measurement said the opposite:
+   **12 of 20 items should be deleted, only 3 wired** (`06` §1). Six had no
+   inline equivalent at all — an agent told to wire them would have invented
+   behaviour no test could fail against.
+2. *"`provider_ollama` deselects the mocked base_url suite."* It does not.
+   **`not network` deselects it on its own**, because the plugin implies
+   `network` from any provider marker (`04` §1). Editing the workflow `-m`
+   strings would have changed nothing.
+3. *"Running fully locally is unachievable, not merely unconfigured."* Not so:
+   litellm and the openai SDK both honour `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, so the bypass sites
+   **do** reach a local server. The blocker is the hardcoded model name they then
+   ask for (`00` §5, `08`).

+
+## 5. The two tests that keep this work honest
+
+Both are cheap, both are anti-regression, and both should land with their respective orders.
+
+**Import boundary (`07`).** Asserts `local/` imports nothing from `praisonaiagents`. Without
+it, I6 decays silently and the leaf property — the whole reason the package can be adopted
+by `memory/` and `eval/` — is lost.
+
+**Adapter reachability (`06`).** Asserts every method on `DefaultAdapter` has at least one
+call site. This is the test whose absence allowed 11 of 17 adapter methods to become dead code
+while `llm.py` grew 145 hand-written Ollama references. Two limits, both real: it cannot detect
+an *unreachable* call site (proven by `should_skip_streaming_with_tools`, which a caller would
+have satisfied while the branch stayed dead), and **one call site satisfies it — so it does not
+detect the three-path divergence at all.** A floor, not a ceiling.
+

+## 6. Deliberately out of scope
+
+Named here so that deferring them is a decision rather than an oversight. Do not let a work
+order quietly grow into one of these.
+
+| Deferred | Measured size | Why not now |
+|---|---|---|
+| Consolidating `LLM` and `OpenAIClient` behind one protocol | 7,160 + 2,691 lines, selected by one boolean at 6 sites | Neither is a superset of the other; the merge is larger than every order in this ledger combined. |
+| Decomposing `LLM.get_response` | 1,675 lines, 194 branch/loop/try nodes | Highest-risk file in the package. Order `06` must edit it surgically without reflowing it. |
+| Removing the sync/async divergence | ~1,628 duplicated lines across 10 pairs; `get_response` vs `_async` only 22.3% similar | Requires the consolidation above to be worth doing. |
+
+The one obligation this ledger accepts toward them: **do not make them worse.** No order may
+add a fifth copy of any compensation, and no order may add new logic inside `get_response`
+that is not a delegation to an adapter.

+"""Attachment routing for multimodal prompts.
+
+The one invariant this module exists to enforce: **an attachment is never
+dropped silently**. Every input either becomes a model-visible content part, or
+produces a loud, actionable signal that names the file and says why.
+
+Two failure classes are treated differently on purpose:
+
+``raise`` -- *addressing* errors: the path does not exist, is a directory, is
+    unreadable, or the attachment is not a type this API accepts. These are
+    always caller mistakes (a typo, a wrong working directory, a stale path).
+    They are fully actionable at the call site, there is no useful degraded
+    answer, and continuing would produce a confident answer about a file the
+    model never saw. Raising is the only way the caller can tell.
+
+``warn + visible degrade`` -- *capability* limits: the file is there and
+    readable, but the target model cannot ingest that media type. The run can
+    still be useful, so we log a warning **and** put a marker part in the
+    prompt so the model itself knows a file was withheld or converted and can
+    say so. This is environmental, not a bug in the caller's code, and hard
+    failing would make a model swap a breaking change.
+
+Escape hatches (both default to the behaviour described above):
+
+- ``PRAISONAI_ATTACHMENTS_ON_MISSING=warn`` downgrades the missing/unreadable
+  raise to a warning + visible marker part.
+- ``PRAISONAI_ATTACHMENTS_STRICT=1`` escalates capability degrades to raises,
+  for pipelines that would rather fail than get a partial answer.
+
+Part shapes emitted (OpenAI/LiteLLM chat-completions style):
+
+- image      -> ``{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:...;base64,..."}}``
+- pdf native -> ``{"type": "file", "file": {"filename": ..., "file_data": "data:application/pdf;base64,..."}}``
+- audio      -> ``{"type": "input_audio", "input_audio": {"data": "<b64>", "format": "mp3"}}``
+- text/degraded/withheld -> ``{"type": "text", "text": "[Attachment: ...] ..."}``

 Unified Execution Mixin - implements Gap 1 from Issue #1392.

-    use ``_chat_impl`` / ``_execute_unified_chat_completion`` (in ``chat_mixin.py``)
-    and ``execute_tool`` (in ``tool_execution.py``), which are distinct from this

-    emits a ``DeprecationWarning`` from its public methods during the deprecation
-    window; it will be removed from the ``Agent`` MRO after the cycle completes.
+    UnifiedExecutionMixin's *public* methods (``unified_chat``, ``unified_achat``,
+    ``unified_execute_tool``/``_async``, ``_unified_chat_impl``,
+    ``_apply_guardrails_async``) are unused by production code and scheduled for
+    removal (Issue #2644): the live execution paths use ``_chat_impl`` /
+    ``_execute_unified_chat_completion`` (in ``chat_mixin.py``) and ``execute_tool``

+    public methods emit a ``DeprecationWarning`` during the deprecation window and
+    the mixin will be removed from the ``Agent`` MRO after the cycle completes.

+    tool-calling path in ``tool_execution.py`` depends on it). It has been
+    relocated to the stable ``async_safety.run_async_in_sync_context`` so that
+    removing this deprecated mixin from the MRO is a true no-op. The method here
+    is now only a thin shim kept for the deprecated public methods above.

 This module consolidates sync/async execution paths into a single async-first 
 implementation with a thin sync bridge, eliminating code duplication between

         Returns:
-            The sent message
+            A **typed delivery outcome**. Adapters SHOULD return a
+            :class:`~praisonaiagents.bots.SendResult` — the transport-neutral
+            receipt that carries a closed, branchable ``status``
+            (``"sent"`` / ``"failed"`` / ``"queued"`` / ``"duplicate"``), the
+            platform ``message_id``/``message_ids`` (for edit-in-place, delete
+            and threading), and a classified ``error``/``error_kind`` on
+            failure. This makes a silent drop *unrepresentable*: a caller can
+            branch on ``result.status`` instead of relying on an exception that
+            may be swallowed.
+
+            A legacy :class:`BotMessage` remains an accepted return for
+            backward compatibility — treat a returned ``BotMessage`` as a
+            successful send (``status == "sent"``).
