+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix missing `refusal` field on OpenAI Chat Completions responses — both the SDK and real API return `refusal: null` on non-refusal messages, but llmock was omitting it
+- Live API drift detection test suite: three-layer triangulation between SDK types, real API responses, and llmock output across OpenAI (Chat + Responses), Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini
+- Weekly CI workflow for automated drift checks
+- `DRIFT.md` documentation for the drift detection system

+# Live API Drift Detection
+
+llmock produces responses shaped like real LLM APIs. Providers change their APIs over time. **Drift** means the mock no longer matches reality — your tests pass against llmock but break against the real API.
+
+## Three-Layer Approach
+
+Drift detection compares three independent sources to triangulate the cause of any mismatch:
+
+| SDK types = Real API? | Real API = llmock? | Diagnosis                                                            |
+| --------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Yes                   | No                 | **llmock drift** — response builders need updating                   |
+| No                    | No                 | **Provider changed before SDK update** — flag, wait for SDK catch-up |
+| Yes                   | Yes                | **No drift** — all clear                                             |
+| No                    | Yes                | **SDK drift** — provider deprecated something SDK still references   |
+
+Two-way comparison (mock vs real) can't distinguish between "we need to fix llmock" and "the SDK hasn't caught up yet." Three-way comparison can.
+
+## Running Drift Tests
+
+```bash
+# All providers (requires all three API keys)
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... GOOGLE_API_KEY=... pnpm test:drift
+
+# Single provider (others skip automatically)
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... pnpm test:drift
+
+# Strict mode — warnings also fail
+STRICT_DRIFT=1 OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... pnpm test:drift
+```
+
+Required environment variables:
+
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` — OpenAI API key
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — Anthropic API key
+- `GOOGLE_API_KEY` — Google AI API key
+
+Each provider's tests skip independently if its key is not set. You can run drift tests for just one provider.
+
+## Reading Results
+
+### Severity levels
+
+- **critical** — Test fails. llmock produces a different shape than the real API for a field that both the SDK and real API agree on. This means llmock needs an update.
+- **warning** — Test passes (unless `STRICT_DRIFT=1`). The real API has a field that neither the SDK nor llmock knows about, or the SDK and real API disagree. Usually means a provider added something new.
+- **info** — Always passes. Known intentional differences (usage fields are always zero, optional fields llmock omits, etc.).
+
+### Example report output
+
+```
+API DRIFT DETECTED: OpenAI Chat Completions (non-streaming text)
+
+  1. [critical] LLMOCK DRIFT — field in SDK + real API but missing from mock
+     Path:    usage.completion_tokens_details
+     SDK:     object { reasoning_tokens: number }
+     Real:    object { reasoning_tokens: number, accepted_prediction_tokens: number }
+     Mock:    <absent>
+
+  2. [warning] PROVIDER ADDED FIELD — in real API but not in SDK or mock
+     Path:    system_fingerprint
+     SDK:     <absent>
+     Real:    string
+     Mock:    <absent>
+
+  3. [info] MOCK EXTRA FIELD — in mock but not in real API
+     Path:    choices[0].logprobs
+     SDK:     null | object
+     Real:    <absent>
+     Mock:    null
+```
+
+## Fixing Detected Drift
+
+When a `critical` drift is detected:
+
+1. **Identify the response builder** — the report path tells you which provider and field:
+   - OpenAI Chat Completions → `src/helpers.ts` (`buildTextCompletion`, `buildToolCallCompletion`, `buildTextChunks`, `buildToolCallChunks`)
+   - OpenAI Responses API → `src/responses.ts` (`buildTextResponse`, `buildToolCallResponse`, `buildTextStreamEvents`, `buildToolCallStreamEvents`)
+   - Anthropic Claude → `src/messages.ts` (`buildClaudeTextResponse`, `buildClaudeToolCallResponse`, `buildClaudeTextStreamEvents`, `buildClaudeToolCallStreamEvents`)
+   - Google Gemini → `src/gemini.ts` (`buildGeminiTextResponse`, `buildGeminiToolCallResponse`, `buildGeminiTextStreamChunks`, `buildGeminiToolCallStreamChunks`)
+
+2. **Update the builder** — add or modify the field to match the real API shape.
+
+3. **Run conformance tests** — `pnpm test` to verify existing API conformance tests still pass.
+
+4. **Run drift tests** — `pnpm test:drift` to verify the drift is resolved.
+
+## Model Deprecation
+
+The `models.drift.ts` test scrapes model names referenced in llmock's test files, README, and fixtures, then checks each provider's model listing API to verify they still exist.
+
+When a model is deprecated:
+
+1. Update the model name in the affected test files and fixtures
+2. Update `src/__tests__/drift/providers.ts` if the cheap test model changed
+3. Run `pnpm test` and `pnpm test:drift`
+
+## Adding a New Provider
+
+1. Add the provider's SDK as a devDependency in `package.json`
+2. Add shape extraction functions to `src/__tests__/drift/sdk-shapes.ts`
+3. Add raw fetch client functions to `src/__tests__/drift/providers.ts`
+4. Create `src/__tests__/drift/<provider>.drift.ts` with 4 test scenarios
+5. Add model listing function to `providers.ts` and model check to `models.drift.ts`
+6. Update the allowlist in `schema.ts` if needed
+
+## CI Schedule
+
+Drift tests run on a schedule:
+
+- **Weekly**: Monday 6:00 AM UTC
+- **Manual**: Trigger via GitHub Actions UI (`workflow_dispatch`)
+- **NOT** on PR or push — these tests hit real APIs and cost money
+
+See `.github/workflows/test-drift.yml`.
+
+## Cost
+
+~20 API calls per run using the cheapest available models (`gpt-4o-mini`, `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`, `gemini-2.5-flash`) with 10-100 max tokens each. Under $0.01/week.

 ### Testing
 
-- **Live API conformance**: The `api-conformance` tests validate response format structure but do not run against real LLM APIs. A subset of tests that hit actual OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini endpoints (gated behind API keys) would catch format drift as providers evolve their APIs.
+- **Live API drift detection**: The `drift` test suite runs against real OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs to catch response format drift. See [DRIFT.md](DRIFT.md) for details on the three-layer triangulation approach, how to run tests, and how to fix detected drift. Runs weekly in CI; requires API keys.
 - **Token counts**: Usage fields are always zero across all providers.
 - **Vision/image content**: Image content parts are not handled by any provider.
