Summary

[tui].max_model_steps and [tui].turn_wall_clock_secs (the R1 finite turn
budgets) were documented only in config.example.toml comments, not in the
docs/CONFIGURATION.md key reference. Conversely, the [goal] loop was
described in prose in CONFIGURATION.md but had no commented example block in
config.example.toml. This PR closes both gaps so a user can find and set
either knob without reading source.

What changed

  • docs/CONFIGURATION.md: added two bullets to "Core keys" documenting
    tui.max_model_steps (default 200, clamp 1..=100000, 0 = default / no
    unlimited sentinel, ~80% soft landing, exhaustion → Failed after one
    bounded final-report turn, applies to every turn including a single goal
    pass) and tui.turn_wall_clock_secs (default 3600, clamp 30..=86400, human
    approval time excluded, stops before the next billable request). All values
    verified against crates/tui/src/core/engine/turn_budget.rs and
    turn_loop.rs.
  • config.example.toml: added a fully commented # [goal] example block
    (max_continuations default 0 = unlimited, continuation_delay_seconds
    default 0 / cap 86400), matching the "uncomment to enable" style of the file
    and mirroring the Goal loop section of CONFIGURATION.md.

No code changes. No behavior changes. Reviewed against the config reference
and the R1/goal sources across two review iterations (0 Critical/Major
remaining).

Add providers.openrouter.vendor with strict upstream fallback suppression.
Preserve pins across clients, model switches, config reload boundaries,
auxiliary requests, and the app-server proxy. Preserve caller restrictions.
Capture vendor routing in existing billing, child, and persisted turn receipts;
report routing-dependent unknown cost until vendor-specific pricing exists.
Correct unsupported routing suffix claims and the stale #5996 goal-step docs.

Validation on this isolated d6698f1-based worktree:
- codewhale-config lib: 648 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored.
- codewhale-protocol lib: 68 passed, 0 failed.
- codewhale-app-server lib: 101 passed, 0 failed.
- codewhale-tui lib vendor filter: 20 passed, 0 failed.
- TUI cost_status: 19 passed; protocol_parity: 5; route_receipt: 6.
  Two cost tests overlap the vendor filter; 48 unique TUI tests passed.
- web npm test: 411 passed; check:docs and check:facts passed.
- cargo fmt --all -- --check and git diff --check passed.
- Requested root npm test and npm run check:web: both failed with Missing
  script because the root package defines neither script. Logs retained.
- Mutation proof: disabling shared vendor serialization caused the gateway
  capture regression to fail (0 passed, 1 failed); exact source restored,
  then the full gateway suite passed 101/101 again.

All request tests use local fixtures. No real provider call, hosted CI,
public push, merge, deployment, tag, or release performed.

Owner

The requested goal example and turn-budget documentation are now on public main. The step policy has since changed: ordinary turns are uncapped by default, explicit ceilings remain available, and active goals use their separate step policy. This PR's 200-step default would now be inaccurate, so I am closing it as superseded while retaining its useful documentation intent. Thank you for documenting these controls.
