**The regex is gone.** The route ran a pattern over the user's message and
enqueued an image from the answer text when the model had not called the tool.
It was a compatibility path for models without tool calling and it did more harm
than good: it decided in English only, it could not see the conversation, and
"image summary" fell through it while reading as an obvious image request to the
model itself — which was measured, not assumed. A second and worse
decision-maker sitting behind the first. Whether a message deserves a picture is
now the model's call, made from the tool description, which is the only place it
ever belonged.
**Lending eyes.** The same shape, for a different capability. When someone
attaches a photograph and the chat model cannot accept image input, the
attachment was either refused by the provider or silently dropped — an answer
about a picture nobody had looked at, which is worse than a refusal.
The chat model is now offered look_at_image beside the image tool and decides
when to use it. The attachment goes to clinical_assistant.vision_model, whose
description comes back as a tool result, and the chat model answers in its own
voice with its own sources. Only the seeing is delegated; the clinical reasoning
stays with the model an administrator chose. The seeing model is told to report
and not to diagnose, because it has a picture and no context and an opinion from
it would carry weight it has not earned.
Delegation triggers only on an explicit supports_vision: false from the gateway.
An unknown is left alone — most of a roster reports nothing, and treating
silence as blindness would route good models through a detour. The capability
lookup moved to its own module, is cached for five minutes because it runs on
exactly the requests that are already slowest, and is never inferred from the
model id. liteLLMBaseUrl moved from the admin route to litellm.js, where the
other gateway helpers live.
The new setting is guarded like the slide reviewer: a model the gateway calls
text-only cannot be saved as the one that looks at images.

npm audit reports 0 vulnerabilities. It reported 2 high and 2 moderate this
morning.
@google-cloud/vertexai was the last source of findings — gaxios and a uuid with
a missing buffer bounds check, neither reachable in this deployment because
GOOGLE_VERTEX_PROJECT is unset and the require sits inside that check. Dormant
is not the same as gone, and the provider is available through the gateway
anyway, so the direct path has been removed rather than left to rot:
- the SDK client and callVertex, which without the package could never run
- the dispatch and discovery branches that reached them
- VERTEX_MODELS, a list of ids nothing could route any more, and the two
places in adminConfig that concatenated it into the built-in set
- the health endpoint's vertex line, and the env vars documented for it
AI_PROVIDER=vertex now says where to configure the model instead of quietly
becoming something else. The Google STT and TTS paths keyed off the same
variable are untouched; neither ever used this SDK.
Verified after deploy: provider litellm, the assistant answers with 8 sources,
/api/models returns 10, and @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner — which documents.js
needs for presigned MinIO URLs — is still declared and resolvable.

The view now decides only what the menu LISTS. Everything structural is shared,
so switching redraws the content and nothing else:
- One width. The app sidebar is 210px; the assistant rail was 260px, so every
switch shifted the content sideways.
- One surface. The tiled ground belongs to the shared panel rather than to one
view's empty state, so the transcript and the workspace launcher sit on the
same background.
- One menu ending. An account card closes both menus with Settings, FAQ, Log out
and — for admins only — Admin. These were unlabelled icon buttons in the old
header; log out reuses the existing flow rather than a second implementation.
The blue gradient header is now a slim white bar. Being the loudest element on
screen, it made any view without it look like a different product. Everything
measured against it follows from 66px to 52px.
The composer has room around it and centres on an empty transcript instead of
sitting at the very top, and Create image joins take home, export and attach in
the + menu — it acts on the conversation, so it belongs with them rather than as
its own button on the rail.

Translation
- Stop scrubbing markdown before sending it to LibreTranslate. The scrub
deleted ordered-list numbering ("1. Give amoxicillin" -> "Give amoxicillin"),
flattened tables into ambiguous whitespace and ate underscores inside
identifiers. Raw markdown now goes to the translator unchanged.
- Render the translation through the same markdown pipeline as the original
bubble, with the message's own sources, so [n] markers come back as the usual
clickable .assistant-cite chips instead of escaped literal text. Headings,
lists and tables survive with them.
- When the translator drops citation markers, surface the affected sources in a
recovery block rather than letting the evidence disappear.
- Image cards are live nodes: they are now re-attached on every path out of a
translation (success, failure and Show original), so a failed translation no
longer silently removes a generating image from the message.
Patient take home
- Add a language selector to the take-home modal, reusing the existing
/translate endpoint and offering only what the local LibreTranslate reports.
- Copy, Export and Email carry what the caregiver is actually reading; the
original stays canonical behind "Original".
Conversation budget
- The admin field no longer prefills with the environment value, which turned
the next Save into an accidental override and made the documented "leave
empty to use the environment" path unreachable. The effective limit is shown
as a placeholder instead.
- Report source 'default' honestly instead of naming an unset env var.
- The load-failure notice now lands on the <p> instead of an <input>'s
textContent, where it rendered nothing.
- One validator for the budget everywhere: conversationLimit() replaces a
parseInt that accepted "120000abc".
Other
- /assistant is addressed by its URL, not by ped_last_tab, so "/" no longer
reopens the assistant; the URL follows tab changes and Back leaves it.
- Remove the dead DeepL path (it referenced an undefined DEEPL_BASES) and stop
offering admins a provider the server silently ignores.
