 Issue: https://github.com/aevatarAI/aevatar/issues/3678
 
-## Backend-owned discovery
-
-The console calls `GET /api/skills/service-recommendations?skillName=...` on
-Mainnet. The backend owns Skill resolution, service discovery and evidence.
-See the [backend contract](https://github.com/aevatarAI/aevatar/blob/3da66b8813c03a7b1d87616889dd3ff343dcde1a/docs/contracts/skill-service-recommendations.md)
-for the response, source contracts, layering and limitations.
-
-The backend is delivered in [PR #3683](https://github.com/aevatarAI/aevatar/pull/3683)
-against `feature/integrate`. This console change is delivered separately in
-[PR #3679](https://github.com/aevatarAI/aevatar/pull/3679) against
-`feat/2026-08-04_workflow-activity-vnext`. The backend endpoint must be merged
-and deployed for recommendations to become available.
-
-The browser does not fetch `SKILL.md`, load the catalog for inference, or match
-service names against Skill content. Its API adapter validates the selected
-Skill identity, evidence enums and exact UserService instance IDs. A missing or
-unsupported backend result produces a retryable discovery state, with the
-manual picker still usable; there is no local inference fallback.
-
-## User behavior
-
-Binding and editing show suggestions after a Skill is selected. Reasons name the
-backend's evidence category without exposing private instructions. Account
-instances show personal/organization source, activity and availability.
-Active services available to the NyxID account determine which exact IDs are
-selectable, including services omitted at login. Account-level organization
-restrictions still apply. Login service grants do not constrain a channel
-Agent Key selection. Both Bind and Edit use this same inventory boundary; see
-[Channel service selection](2026-09-28-channel-service-access.md).
-
-Selecting an instance adds its exact UserService ID to the form; normal save
-commits it. Discovery never selects, authorizes or removes services. Changing or
-clearing the Skill preserves manual choices. Queries are keyed by scope and
-Skill name and consume abort signals, so late results do not replace the current
-Skill's recommendations.
-
-Missing connections and inactive services offer NyxID connection management in a
-new tab. Channel forms no longer show an OAuth service-access review action or
-consent instructions. Refresh reloads backend discovery and account inventory.
-Pending and failed discovery stay within the suggestion region.
-
-The current backend sources do not declare mandatory dependencies. Suggestions
-remain advisory; text mentions explicitly say they may be needed for some tasks.
-An empty result does not prove no services are required. Existing platform-
-required services keep their own behavior. Inventory is not credential-validity
-evidence.
-
-## Design and verification
-
-Retain the compact Channels form, design tokens, wrapped names, keyboard actions
-and English/Chinese locales. Excalidraw assets remain unchanged:
-`30e74d7b410ae72c4c91432355436679033679c54c10b1702908435b001577de`.
-Use real authenticated backend responses; mocks exist only in tests.
-
-Route integration tests cover rendering backend suggestions, exact instance
-selection and save, access gaps, switching/clearing, stale responses and recovery.
-API tests cover request encoding and malformed/mismatched results.
-Full frontend typecheck, suite and production build are delegated to GitHub CI.
+The service recommendation feature introduced by [PR #3679](https://github.com/aevatarAI/aevatar/pull/3679)
+is withdrawn from Bind and Edit at the user’s request on 2026-09-29.
+The backend [PR #3683](https://github.com/aevatarAI/aevatar/pull/3683), targeting
+`feature/integrate`, has not been merged or deployed with the frontend.
+
+The console does not request `/api/skills/service-recommendations` or show the
+Suggested for panel, Refresh suggestions action, discovery failure message,
+or Manage connections in NyxID link. The recommendation component, adapter,
+query key, styles and locale messages are removed.
+
+Manual service selection remains governed by
+[Channel service selection](2026-09-28-channel-service-access.md): active,
+account-available NyxID services can be selected even if omitted at login.
+Skill selection, required built-in services, explicit Bind/Save and observed
+completion retain their existing behavior.
+
+Any future reintroduction requires explicit approval and verification that the
+backend capability is deployed. Backend PR approval or deployment alone must
+not silently re-enable this frontend feature.
+
+Existing Bind and Edit route tests verify that a selected Skill produces no
+recommendation panel or request. Related channel and inventory tests protect
+manual selection and save behavior. Full frontend suite, typecheck and build
+remain delegated to GitHub CI.
