Three regressions inherited by every PR rebased onto release/v3.8.51, caught and documented with the exact failing output.
The one that mattered most: src/shared/providers/webSessionCredentials.ts did not parse. The UC merge (#11513) inserted the uc: entry inside maxai.storageKeys and lost the array's closing ], plus the entry's }, leaving `ERROR: Expected "]" but found ":"` at line 351. That module is imported by the provider API routes, bulk-web-session, autoCombo's virtualFactory, keepaliveThreshold and dashboard components, so the break was live on the tip and flooded unrelated catalog tests with transform failures. That was my conflict resolution, not the contributor's code — thank you for catching it and for tracing it to the root commit rather than patching around the symptom.
Also fixed: the duplicate bin/cli/utils/volatileEnvPath.mjs entry in PACK_ARTIFACT_REQUIRED_PATHS (findMissingArtifactPaths reported it twice), and UC image models made prefix-addressable without letting them claim historical bare model ids belonging to other providers.
Reconciled on merge: #12394 landed the busy_timeout/probe work first, so src/lib/db/core.ts takes the tip's side. probeUtils.ts is the union of both rather than either side — this PR's message regex is wider (SQLite also reports "database table is locked", "database schema is locked" and "database is busy"), while #12394 added the driver code/errcode path that keeps a transient lock from being classified as corruption and renaming the database away. Taking either alone would have dropped the other half; this PR's own ENOENT test is what surfaced it.
Verified: 76/76 across uc-image, probe-9541-repro, web-session-contract, pack-artifact-policy, bulk-web-session-import and exclusive-connection-leases, and every changed .ts file parses.
Thanks @backryun.
Adds uncensored.com as two OpenAI-compatible providers mirroring UC's own surfaces: uc, the persona/subscription side over WebSocket with a durable Clerk credential minting a short-lived per-connect token (no API key, un-metered), as a full multimodal port — chat, tools, vision, doc-RAG, image, video, TTS; and uc-direct, the metered Developer API over REST with X-api-key. Same underlying models, two billing surfaces.
Reconciled on merge. 57 files conflicted; only seven carried UC content, the rest was drift from the older release line and took the tip's side.
- executors/index.ts: the tip has since refactored the executor map to lazy dynamic imports, so uc is registered in that shape. uc-direct needs no entry — it routes through the default OpenAI-compatible executor.
- imageGeneration.ts: the branch still carried the retired designerWeb import alongside ucImage; kept only the UC one.
- config/providers/index.ts, webSessionCredentials.ts and web-cookie.ts resolved additively against the MaxAI entries #11461 put on the tip an hour earlier.
- web-cookie.ts: the uc entry declared no serviceKinds, required since #11392, so provider validation would have thrown at load. Declared ["llm"]. uc-direct already declared it at the end of its own entry — an earlier pass of mine added a second one after id and TypeScript caught the duplicate (TS1117); the author's placement is what shipped.
Every count was measured against the merged tree rather than taken from the branch, and all three would have been wrong: reserved prefixes are 406, not 399; APIKEY_PROVIDERS is 237, not 234; providers are 355. PROVIDER_REFERENCE.md regenerated, the count updated across README/AGENTS.md/llm.txt and its 42 mirrors, package.json and 6 SVGs — every changed line in the protected surfaces is a digit substitution and nothing else, verified by masking digits and comparing the removed and added sets (90 lines each, identical). The executor-map golden snapshot went 134 -> 135.
The branch's file-size-baseline.json predates #12411's ratchet re-tightening and was discarded rather than merged; imageGeneration.ts (+12 for the uc-image format branch) was entered against the current baseline under a _rebaseline annotation, and no other cap moves.
Verified: typecheck:core clean, check:provider-consistency OK (271 REGISTRY entries, 355 canonical providers), check:docs-counts exit 0, check-file-size OK, check:cycles OK, 119/119 across the PR's test files, and 2/2 executor-map-golden.
Thanks @arminanton — two providers for two real billing surfaces, rather than one entry pretending to be both, is the right modelling.
