pi-ds4 configuration

To reconfigure pi-ds4/ds4, edit ~/.pi/ds4/settings.json (create it if missing). Do not edit other runtime state files in ~/.pi/ds4 unless explicitly debugging.

The file is a JSON object. Environment variables override it. Keys can be env names (DS4_READY_TIMEOUT_MS), camelCase without DS4_ (readyTimeoutMs), or lower snake_case (ready_timeout_ms). Use settings.schema.json / settings.example.json from the pi-ds4 package for validation/examples.

Minimal example:

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitsuhiko/pi-ds4/main/settings.schema.json",
  "protocol": "openai-responses",
  "modelQuant": "q2-imatrix",
  "readyTimeoutMs": 900000
}

Common settings:

protocol: openai (default), openai-responses, or anthropic
modelQuant: force q2/q2-imatrix or q4/q4-imatrix for ds4/deepseek-v4-flash
readyTimeoutMs: server startup timeout in ms
runtimeDir: existing antirez/ds4 checkout instead of ~/.pi/ds4/support
supportRepo / supportBranch: runtime checkout source
serverBinary / watchdogScript: custom executable/script paths
apiKey: token Pi sends to the local provider (default dsv4-local)

After editing, run /reload or restart pi. Use /ds4 to inspect the live ds4 log.
