Twin of #12022 on main: CodeQL flagged the same input-controlled checkout + npm cache pattern (cache-poisoning/poisonable-step) on main since it's the default branch. Checkouts go back to github.ref; dispatch still works via --ref (documented in the workflow's own on: contract).
Also fixes the packaged-app smoke: it now waits on /api/monitoring/health (which touches the DB) instead of /login (which doesn't), so the smoke can actually distinguish "native driver selected" from "database never opened." electron-smoke-script.test.ts 9/9 (2 new cases).
Landed with the design call resolved per the owner's pick — **option 1**: the synced store is now endpoint-agnostic (persistDiscoveredModels and managedModelImport no longer drop non-chat models at write time), and chat selectability moved to read time (auto-pool expansion in autoStrategy applies filterChatSelectableModels; the models-route projection already had its chatOnly filter). Your discovery test now passes end-to-end (3/3): /api/show capabilities persist per connection and image/embedding requests route through the advertising host.
Reconciliation notes: conflicted areas merged onto the current tip (adobe discovery import, requestedModel preflight signature, resolvedProvider fast-path coexists with the synced-route override — explicit resolution wins); carried base-red drains (#10055 memoization, #11071 test variants) dropped as already-landed; the managed-model-import exclusion test was propagated to the new contract (image/video models persist; the read filter still hides them from chat pickers — pinned by a new assertion). Full battery: 205/206 focused (the one red is a confirmed periodic-timer timing flake on the loaded devbox — 20/20 isolated), autoCombo vitest 30/30, combo suites 46/46, gates + typecheck clean.
Thank you @yourspraveen — the capability probe + routing design was right; it just needed the store contract opened up. Fixes#11087.
