NeuroLink's decide() now has a second provider: Convai's open-weights Laya. A model that silently truncates instead of refusing, and a token estimator we had to calibrate ourselves, are what actually generalized the architecture.
NeuroLink's classifier-router catalogue turns a 64-model registry into a routable pool for the decide() model-choice question. Credential filtering, a 120-model cap, context-window vetoes, and a declared-vs-registry rendering rule keep it from overflowing the question budget or silently overriding a host's own routing intent.
NeuroLink now treats decide() as a peer of generate() and stream(). How a text-less decision model routes models, prunes context, and picks MCP servers — and the two bugs that produced plausible wrong answers.
A native Anthropic code path unconditionally rewrote finishReason to "stop" whenever a schema call used the synthetic final_result tool — even when the vendor's real stop_reason was max_tokens. That hid every truncated structured-output response from the jsonTruncated check that exists to catch exactly this.
A Claude request that silently falls back to a pooled Codex account used to leave two disconnected OTel traces behind. proxyTraceContext.ts fixes that by keying a trace-context registry on request ID and stripping the `:codex-fallback` suffix so a fallback record resolves to its parent's trace and span ID.
GMI Cloud joined NeuroLink's JSON-driven provider catalog as a tier-2 OpenAI-compatible entry, and its MiniMax endpoint ignores response_format entirely — every structured generate() call rides the SDK's prompt-side fallback instead of the wire-level contract it appears to use.
Cerebras shipped as NeuroLink's 32nd provider in 11m37s against a Tier-2 onboarding playbook — then a next-day live-verification commit found the scaffold's own default model already retired by the vendor.
NeuroLink's read-only git toolset never accepts a git command string — only named values like ref, path and lineStart. The design closes the same hole a shell would: a free-form argument can carry --output=
How NeuroLink's run_command_bg tool spawns with no shell, matches executables exactly against an allowlist, sandboxes cwd through realpath, and escalates a stuck process from SIGTERM to SIGKILL — all in the commit that introduced it.
NeuroLink's nightly provider sweep runs at most six small tests per row of a 30-row table, counts provider errors and hangs as skips, and exits 0 unless something fails that it does not recognise as the provider's fault. Here is what a green run proves, what it quietly skips, and the places it cannot see.
