Plus realm-and-snapshot feature matrix
Frozen fixture board. Formula / decision rule: transferable = exact realm + endpoint + snapshot + dated source; missing realm join means no capability copy Boundary: A stable alias in one realm cannot donate limits or modalities to another realm.
| Frozen fixture | Identity keys | Deterministic rule | Output / bounded state | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China stable alias | provider=Alibaba Cloud; realm=China; requested=qwen3.7-plus; endpoint=realm-qualified; snapshot=stable; evidence=2026-09-01 | copy only fields sourced for the China endpoint | China feature fields=realm-local; transferability=none without second source | RESOLVED — realm-local |
| international stable alias | provider=Alibaba Cloud; realm=international; requested=qwen3.7-plus; endpoint=realm-qualified; snapshot=stable | international stable alias needs its own capability join | use international fields only; do not copy China limits | RESOLVED — realm-local |

| legacy qwen-plus | provider=Alibaba Cloud; realm=Unknown; requested=qwen-plus; family=legacy; snapshot=not equal | legacy family string does not join to Qwen3.7-Plus | keep separate entity; no feature transfer | SEPARATED — legacy |
| unknown gateway alias | provider=gateway; realm=Unknown; requested=qwen3.7-plus-latest; resolved=Unknown | gateway aliases require gateway-specific evidence | capability=Unavailable; require exact endpoint and snapshot | FAIL CLOSED — gateway identity |

Multimodal GUI request-envelope validator
Frozen fixture board. Formula / decision rule: admit = documented media modality + known media accounting + thinking/output reserve + tool/schema join Boundary: Unknown image or video units are not zero and cannot be smuggled into a valid text-only envelope.

| short video | provider=Alibaba Cloud; realm=international; snapshot=exact; media=video; duration/bytes=Unknown | video modality and duration accounting require exact source | admission=Unavailable; do not treat video as image or text | FAIL CLOSED — video accounting |
| screenshot-to-code | provider=Alibaba Cloud; realm=US; snapshot=exact; media=screenshot; output=code; schema=optional | screenshot modality and exact US endpoint must join | conditional; no GUI capability inferred from screenshot input alone | CONDITIONAL — realm/media probe |
| image-plus-tool navigation | provider=Alibaba Cloud; realm=international; snapshot=exact; image×1; tool/schema=required; action side effect=external | media, tool schema, and side-effect controls must all pass | block until all joins and containment policy are present | BLOCKED — combined envelope |

Plus production-control readiness board
Frozen fixture board. Formula / decision rule: ready = documented requested control + required probe completed + observed state joined to realm/snapshot Boundary: Untested controls remain Untested; no pricing or tier comparison is reproduced.
