+## 2026-09-25 — A licensed instance can choose the managed model while it is being installed `api 0.113.0` `web 0.138.0`
+
+**The install screen now asks for the licence before the model, and offers the managed model
+there.** The model step used to come first and knew only your own provider. The managed model can
+only be offered to an instance your Jarvis provider has linked to its licence, that link is made by
+the instance's licence report, and an instance being installed sent none — so a licensed customer
+had to type a key for a provider they did not want, or skip the model and choose the managed one
+afterwards under **Settings → Platform → Model**.
+
+**Adding a paid or trial key on the install screen now sends the licence report straight away**,
+rather than once the install is finished — and so does opening the licence step with a key the
+instance already holds from `JARVIS_LICENSE_KEY`. That is a new moment of sending, so here is
+exactly what it is: the same report with the same fields as every other — the licence id, this
+instance's id and public key, its version, contract checksum, counts and public address, the
+timestamps and the signature; no names and no conversation content. The
+[README](README.md#licence-keys-and-what-your-instance-reports) lists every field. It goes early
+because it is what links the instance to its licence. The licence step says so beside the key field,
+and shows how the report went — linked, refused by your provider and why, or not sent and why — with
+**Report now** to try again.
+
+**Nothing else reports earlier than before.** Only the licence step sends a report while the
+instance is being installed; nothing reports on its own until the install is finished, even when
+the key and the address both come from the environment. An instance without a licence still sends
+nothing until then, and the licence step sends nothing for a licensed one whose address is not set
+yet, is `localhost` or another loopback address, or is an example address such as
+`jarvis.example.com`.
+
+**The model step is now the same choice as the settings screen**: your own provider, with the test
+button and "Skip for now" as before, or the managed model, with the same statement of what it sends
+and the same box to tick before it is selected. Choosing the managed model there is enough to
+continue, so a licensed install can be finished without a model key of your own. Without a licence,
+the managed option is shown as unavailable, with the reason and a way back to the licence step.
+Reaching the model step on a licensed instance asks your provider whether the managed model is
+offered, exactly as opening **Settings → Platform → Model** does: a signed request with no
+conversation content.
+
+**Also in this release.**
+
+- "Report now", under the managed model's option in the model settings, now says what your provider
+  answered when a report did not link the instance — a licence it does not know, one already in use
+  on as many instances as it allows, one it has withdrawn — where it used to say nothing and leave
+  the option unavailable.
+- When your provider refused to link the instance for a reason another report cannot change — the
+  licence is already in use on as many instances as it allows, or your provider does not know it —
+  the managed option now says that, on the settings screen and on the install screen, instead of
+  "available after this instance's next report". The licence step keeps saying it when you come back
+  to it.
+- "Your own provider" is marked **In use** only once an endpoint's model and key are saved. A new
+  instance used to show it over an empty form.
+- An install that has been started can be resumed from a browser that is not signed in: the install
+  screen asks you to sign in, and the sign-in page now opens instead of sending you back.
+- The Kubernetes `02-config.yaml` no longer sets `WEB_ORIGIN` to the placeholder
+  `https://jarvis.example.com`; it is commented out. Applied unedited, it was stored as the
+  instance's address until the install screen replaced it.
+
+**Self-hosters:** api and console. The schema gains one column, the licence server's answer to the
+last report, applied automatically when the api starts; it only adds, so the schema guard has
+nothing to refuse. No new environment variable. An instance that is already installed reports
+exactly as before. On Kubernetes, nothing to do either: the install screen saved your real address
+over the placeholder when you installed.
+
+**Rolling back past this version** drops that column, which the schema guard refuses once a report
+has filled it, and the api does not start. To go back anyway, set `SCHEMA_ACCEPT_DATA_LOSS=true`
+for that one deploy — in `.env` on compose, on the `jarvis-migrate` Job on Kubernetes — then put
+it back. What is lost is only that last answer, which the next report writes again.
+
+## 2026-09-25 — The model is chosen in one place, and the form you are not using is out of the way `web 0.137.1`
+
+Under **Settings → Platform → Model**, the choice between your own provider and the managed model is
+now made with the selector and nothing else. The separate "Use your own provider" button is gone:
+picking that option in the selector does the same thing, and still asks first when your own provider
+is not configured, because switching would then leave the assistant with no model.
+
+Your own provider's form now appears only while the selector is on it. While the managed model is in
+use — or has been picked and is waiting for you to confirm — the form is hidden rather than shown with
+a note saying it is not in use. Its settings, key included, are kept exactly as they were, and come
+back with the form when you switch back.
