 * Route accidentally removed, renamed, method-changed, or double-registered
   after a move (census / assembled-app checks).
 * OpenAPI drops an Omni HTTP path while the router still has it (or the reverse).
-* Assembly forgets to strip upstream ``/v1/chat/completions`` (batch) /

+* Assembly forgets to strip overridden upstream chat / models / profiler
+  routes, or also deletes unrelated upstream routes.
 * Profiler / Omni router not mounted; storage not started; Omni engine
   exception handlers not registered.
 * Timestamp middleware stops stamping HTTP, or starts mutating WebSocket scopes.
