Chunk B, item 3 of the search port + slots wave (2026-09-20): the flagged
gap closed — ExtractionModels deps were engine VALUES, keeping
extractor/auditor/labeler config-pin-bound while the job runner went
slot-native. The pipeline now takes the runner's exact treatment:
- ExtractionPipelineDeps.engineFor: (role) => PiEngine — resolved FRESH
per stage call, so a settings PUT between stages lands. Direct test
values (extractor/auditor/labeler) remain the priority seam, checked
FIRST; absent values fall to the chain; absent chain → config pins
(unchanged).
- All six stage call sites (chat + notes extract/audit, the cluster
namer x2) resolve through stageEngine(role, direct).
- chat-handler's extraction composition injects the full chain —
piEngineForSpec(resolveRoleSpec(role, readSettings(), MODEL_PINS)) —
same wiring as the job runner.
Chunk B, item 4 (session-level slot-anchored model picks): VERIFIED
already complete from Platform's model-slots wave — the conversation
engine chain (chat-handler) anchors on effective.models.strong, the
picker's default surface (catalogDefaultsFor) falls back to strong,
both pinned in tests. No phase split (user decision, 2026-09-20).
Capability-filtered pickers live in the settings UI (main 343be10).
Tests: engineFor fills the stages end-to-end (both propositions merged
through the chain, consulted in pipeline order) + the direct-value
priority pin (engineFor that throws when consulted).
Gates: typecheck, 795/795 tests, lint, build — all green.
