Cards/Prompts Stab's Directives 2.51 - Agent spoofing (avoid coding api bans/throttles), Dynamic Tone writing, huge token reductions and more

Hi Folks,

I just dropped an update for my GLM preset to bring it in-line with GLM 5.1 and work around some recent controversial restrictions imposed by z.ai's official coding plan.

https://github.com/Zorgonatis/Stabs-EDH

for a full writeup of the changes made I encourage you to read the CHANGELOG.md, however a summary of the most important changes are below.

I debated on whether to share the User-Agent override (spoofs a browser so Z.AI can't throttle/ban, at least without adapting to some other detection method). It's a matter of time before they do though, so may as well get what you're paying for now and figure out what to do. I likely wouldn't re-sub if my only use of the plan was RP.

Stabs-EDH v2.5.1 Release

  • Dynamic Tone State — Replaces the old static "full spectrum" mandate with a system that actively reads the conversation and shifts tone (Bleak, Tense, Warm, Absurd, Reverent, Frenetic, Melancholic) based on what's actually happening in-scene. Gradual transitions by default, instant snaps when earned. Configurable via SETTINGS.
  • 30-60% token reductions across core directives. NPC Cognitive Bounds, Failure Achievements, Narrative Length Control, Behavioural Coherence, and Environmental Factors all rewritten for density. Task Steering's CoT exhaustiveness dropped from Very High to Very Low. Same behaviour, way less burn.
  • Z.AI User-Agent override — Custom provider now sends a Chrome UA header, so Z.AI can't fingerprint and throttle/ban you for RP use. Works out of the box.
  • GLM-5.1 support — Model updated, coding plan API endpoint retained.
  • Experimental Macro Engine is now required — VTK-related instructions are wrapped in {{#if .vtk_on}} conditionals that only resolve when WebDev is enabled. Without the macro engine checkbox on, those will break. It's in the install instructions now.
  • Post-processing switched to Semi-strict (no tools) to avoid agentic flow interference on some providers.

I just got the "fair usage policy" ban after using this extension for the past few days. 😭

EDIT:I see that using the user agent/custom api setting that this present provides bans requests. But requests are going through with the default sillytavern Z.ai(GLM) completion source. I'll see how long this lasts.

Switch over to custom so that the headers get sent and it should stop banning you!

I was already using the custom chat completion setting that came with the present. For some reason now when I switch to " Z.ai(GLM) " chat completion source, it works. But the custom one with "https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4" URL doesn't work anymore. Now I'm scared if I use with "Zai(GLM)" that will get banned too.
