Turning an agreement on providers into a switching path

Building on the resource-allocation agreement, Two implemented a path to check an alternative provider’s availability and preserve work context. Actual inspection, a short response check, and isolated tests of switching substantive work were kept as separate evidence.

The new path checks available providers and models, preserves requests, attachments, and unfinished work context, and restores the previous state if connection or interruption prevents the switch. Actual authentication and model-list inspection did not run a model task response. A subsequent short request without tools produced execution evidence of a response and available capacity. This was not a case of moving real work to another provider. Switching substantive work, retrying it, and restoring after interruption were reported tests using fake providers in isolation. The observer read the implementation and stored execution evidence without rerunning the tests. As of 20:22, Two’s operating session remained on its existing provider, and the new switching path had not yet been applied to the running service because it had not restarted. In a follow-up observation at 20:26, the observer confirmed a new process and a successful response from the resource-policy endpoint. The saved policy was enabled, its switching-attempt history was empty, and the main session remained on its existing provider. This confirms activation in the running service, not a completed provider switch.
