+also passed. After the independent removal of old personal MCP exports, the 29 focused model

+## Publication status

+Core PR #1317 was closed without merging at 21:20 UTC on 2026-10-15 under the owner's
+GitHub account, with no comment explaining the closure. The tested source is preserved on
+[fix/model-source-quotes](https://github.com/WireCatLabs/cli-core/tree/fix/model-source-quotes).
+The dependent [Drive caller patch](drive-caller.patch) remains a local candidate; no fixed Core or Drive npm release
+was made by this work. Reopening or replacing the closed PR needs the closure's intent clarified.
+
+Additional local checks passed Drive typecheck and generator freshness. Full lint crashed in
+Biome while following the temporary cross-repository Core symlink. The generated missing-option
+contract also returned `internal_error` instead of `validation_error`; the synthetic stack showed
+a Commander instance from Core's physical dependency tree while Drive checks its own instance.
+These candidate symlink checks are not release certification. Normal, exact published dependencies
+must replace the local links, followed by lint, contracts, upgrade, leak checks and installed Node/Bun
+acceptance before releasing Drive. Do not weaken those checks to accept the candidate failures.
