Live evidence, two ways: the 9abc1623 banner never fired because D-16 hides
ungranted tools (model never calls → refused_categories always empty), and
the [[needs:id>]] marker fix failed because a small local model answers with
a workaround narrative instead of emitting structured markers.
The model's reliable, trained behavior is tool CALLING — so disabled tools
are now listed in a DISABLED prompt section and remain in the schema. A call
hits the execution gate, which refuses and records the category → the
trusted chrome offers Settings → AI Data Access. Deterministic and
model-independent. The prompt split is UX/attack-surface shaping; the
security boundary remains the server-side grant re-check in execute_tool
(loop_.rs), unchanged and now the single enforcement layer by design.
Tests: ungranted_tool_only_ever_in_disabled_section (section-aware),
disabled_tools_are_listed_as_callable_but_refused, marker extraction kept
as a harmless safety net. 127/127 assistant suite green.
