The thresholds Part H says to tune on the real inference hardware were
hardcoded, so every adjustment would have been a PR. They now live in a
`tuning:` section of a YAML config file, which also replaces flat
environment variables as the home for structure (#32).
- The file (NISSE_CONFIG, default ./nisse-dev.yaml) carries structure
and holds no secrets: credentials are ${VAR} references resolved from
the environment, and a reference to an unset variable is an error
- The environment still wins: every existing NISSE_* variable overrides
its key, and the file is optional, so .env and CI work unchanged
- Validation stays fail-fast and reports every problem at once; unknown
keys are errors, so a misspelt knob fails at startup instead of
silently doing nothing
- The config file joins the state store and .env in the check that
refuses to start when they sit inside the workspace clone
- Tuning covers the executor's turn and failure limits, the consult
budget, the delegation caps, the command timeout and the tool output
limit, which Workspace now takes as a setting; the defaults are the
values the agent already ran with
- llm.max_output_tokens reaches both LLM clients from the config
docs/Tuning-Guide.md explains the knobs for someone learning local
model tuning: how weights, quantization and the KV cache spend VRAM,
what each knob does and what goes wrong at either extreme, and an order
to tune in. nisse-dev.example.yaml documents every key and is checked
by a test so it cannot drift.

PR 2 of the steps-3/4 plan.
- llm.py: LLMClient protocol — complete(events, tools, model) ->
canonical events — present from the first real LLM call.
LiteLLMClient renders requests via the A10 renderer, targets the
proxy's OpenAI-compatible route, and maps provider tool-call IDs
to locally-minted canonical IDs at the boundary
- RoleMap (A11): executor/planner/delegate/consultant resolved from
env; pinned() returns the mapping to record at task start
- Config strictly from env: NISSE_LLM_BASE_URL, NISSE_LLM_TOKEN;
envfile.py is a minimal .env loader where real env wins; .env now
gitignored with a committed .env.example documenting all variables
(Matrix ones included for the upcoming transport PR)
- Live smoke test against the proxy is integration-marked and skips
without credentials — CI stays credential-free per operator
decision; the test runs locally once .env exists
- httpx added as nisse-dev's HTTP client

- uv workspace tying nisse-core, nisse-dev, nisse-ops together
(src layouts, workspace-sourced nisse-core dependency)
- Placeholder hello-world entry points for both agents, calling
through nisse-core to exercise the package boundary
- pytest unit tests per package; integration tests (marker-gated)
running the installed console scripts as subprocesses
- ruff lint + format, nisse_* declared first-party
- Gitea Actions workflow running lint, format check, unit and
integration tests; scripts/check.sh mirrors it locally
