## What changed
Add a SHA-256 identity derived from provider routing, headers, and authentication scope. Return it with each model catalog response and persist it in `ModelsCacheEntry`. ChatGPT credentials with stable account and user metadata retain the same identity across token refreshes; opaque API credentials contribute to the digest.
## Testing
Add identity tests covering account, user, email, plan, auth mode, provider routing, headers, and API credential changes, plus stability across ChatGPT token refreshes. Update cache tests to include the persisted identity.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3f51c6cabcb01bc03505150a768a61dfe5d6569f
## What changed
Remove `base_instructions` from `codex-rs/models-manager/models.json` and filter out the field in the `rust-release-prepare` workflow so automated catalog updates keep it excluded.
GitOrigin-RevId: 711d43c21a90aadc98e5622b8c24847bc4642c83
## Why
Experimental context activation previously checked the provider and account eligibility without checking model support. Child sessions also inherited token-budget activation from their parent, even when starting fresh with a different model.
## What changed
- Add `ModelInfo.supports_experimental_context`, defaulting to `false`, and enable it for the bundled `gpt-6-astra` model. Require this capability when activating experimental context.
- Snapshot configured token-budget preferences before startup activation. Restore them for fresh child sessions before applying their starting model's defaults, while history forks retain their parent's activation.
- Pass unresolved token-budget preferences to child sessions so they can use their own model's prompts.
## Testing
Extend coverage for unsupported models, model-switch guidance under explicit and experimental activation, and child configuration from both active and inactive parents. Verify that omitted capability metadata defaults to `false`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 02df9e171682267232fa923d5ea3f7af36527808
## What changed
Write Default and Plan directly into the default mode instructions and use the text without template rendering. Remove the mode-name formatting helpers and the `codex-utils-template` dependency from `codex-models-manager`.
Update the instruction test to retain checks for `request_user_input` availability guidance while removing placeholder assertions.
GitOrigin-RevId: d6afa478c30f991baa9ef4d5459e84354f29ce17
## What changed
Set GPT-6-Astra's bundled model visibility to `list` so it appears first in the interactive model picker, and update the picker snapshot for the new entry and numbering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1bbbb7cb932b53d121a2d3246343c06e120da2f7
## What changed
Update the bundled GPT-6-Astra instruction template to apply the
`functions.request_user_input_async` guidance only when the tool is available.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1dbf0299d4e5bf81e570e88c98b10c3822da99ed
## What changed
Update the GPT-6 instruction template to describe the available user-input tool directly, prohibit requests for file or screenshot uploads through its text-only interface, and allow 60 seconds for optional simple clarifications.
GitOrigin-RevId: acd186c58cee26f6dee20bd5de3a9775fe951231
## What changed
- Add optional per-model Guardian modes for computer use, shell, code mode,
file changes, MCP, network, and permission requests.
- Apply disabled, synchronous, or adaptive review by action category while
preserving legacy configuration when model policy is absent.
- Bind cached risk scores to the active model policy, thread settings, and
environment selections so outdated scores cannot approve later actions.
- Keep unknown review modes on the synchronous path and ignore unknown policy
fields for forward compatibility.
## Testing
- Cover policy serialization, legacy fallback, scoped tool classification,
disabled categories, and score invalidation after policy changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: f334a5f4fffb198da66cde3a400233e0df650516
## What changed
Describe the `gpt-6-astra` Fast service tier as providing 2x speed with
increased usage.
GitOrigin-RevId: a5b470dc598d23aea312172986823212922219f9
## What changed
- Add the hidden `gpt-6-astra` model definition, including its reasoning levels,
tool capabilities, context limits, agent instructions, and review policies.
- Reorder existing model priorities around the new catalog entry and provide the
browser-use policy to the bundled auto-review model.
- Keep TUI snapshots pinned to `gpt-5.6-sol` and make Guardian coverage read the
policy from the model selected by each test case.
- Allow the expanded `models.json` through the repository blob-size check.
GitOrigin-RevId: 039b224b91ca35c8d894cf6d23568bc6dc18ceeb
## What changed
- Add `auto_review.node_repl_policy` to model messages for `node_repl` and `cua_repl` reviews.
- Use the reviewer model's configured policy, falling back to the bundled policy when the field is absent and skipping injection when it is explicitly empty.
- Include the effective policy in Guardian session reuse checks and reject unsafe parent-model fallback transitions that would change it.
## Testing
- Cover catalog, bundled, and explicitly empty policies across Node and CUA review paths.
- Verify that policy changes invalidate cached reviewer sessions and incompatible fallback transitions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 51c0bdfed9b464091b6eb47d91ca5a0990d7a315
## What changed
- Add model metadata flags for enabling token budgeting and its history-notes extension.
- Apply those activation defaults once at thread startup when the user has not explicitly configured token budgeting, while respecting managed feature requirements.
- Continue resolving model-owned prompts for the active model so model switches can use their own token-budget guidance.
## Testing
- Update the token-budget integration test to verify that model metadata activates the feature without manual configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 73a32623eaeabb9243e240c43da7a5e7e93e9a19
## What changed
- Add model message metadata for built-in tool descriptions.
- Use the active step model's catalog description for `send_user_message_async`, including after a mid-turn model change.
- Fall back to the built-in description when catalog metadata is absent, while preserving an explicitly empty description.
## Testing
- Cover catalog serialization, fallback and empty-value behavior, and model changes within a turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: 72b953214ab9708931065321debf12133f8d2d40
## What changed
- Add an optional `proactive` multi-agent mode message to model metadata.
- Use the catalog's proactive message for `Ultra` reasoning when no general mode hint is configured. A missing value falls back to the built-in proactive instructions, while an empty value suppresses the mode message.
- Keep explicit mode behavior for other reasoning efforts and refresh the applicable catalog message when the model changes.
## Testing
- Cover proactive overrides, built-in fallback, empty-value suppression, mode-hint precedence, non-`Ultra` behavior, and model switches.
GitOrigin-RevId: da0a9ebd9b58cf04ef13a703c210e5da2eed0884
## What changed
- Allow `request_user_input` for optional questions that materially improve work quality.
- Continue with best judgment when the tool returns no answers.
- Keep permission requests, escalations, and other required input out of the tool; ask one concise plain-text question when progress cannot safely continue.
- Update the collaboration-mode preset test for the revised direct-question guidance.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8393621f0d8b59d8b164368ab7f2c8f4f6b3b14e
## What changed
- Add an optional `multi_agent_reasoning_effort` field to model metadata.
- When `Ultra` is selected, use a supported catalog override when present. Otherwise, prefer `max`, then the highest supported non-`ultra` effort, and finally `medium` when the model has no reasoning levels.
- Preserve existing request behavior for other reasoning efforts, including mapping `persistent` to `disabled`.
## Testing
- Cover configured, missing, unsupported, and empty-catalog fallbacks for both parent and spawned-agent requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: b7ef576f32e0ea95ef38bf95c25789ed16aae94e
## What changed
- Add optional Browser Use and Computer Use confirmation-policy Markdown to model catalog messages.
- Send the configured documents verbatim in `openai/confirmation_policies` metadata for `node_repl` and `cua_repl` tool calls. Send an empty object when the issuing model has no policies so runtime defaults are cleared.
- Use the issuing step's model snapshot across approval waits, and omit the metadata for other MCP servers and Guardian sessions.
## Testing
- Cover policy serialization, configuration overrides, model changes, approval waits, partial or empty policies, eligible server filtering, and Guardian exclusion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 038c4c262a31fc71986e4a2a947fe9bcbd407acc
## What changed
- Add bundled proactivity and follow-up guidance when `ReasoningEffort::Persistent` is selected.
- Allow model metadata to override or disable the guidance with `persistent_instructions`.
- Track the instructions as world state so effort and model changes replace or retire stale guidance without duplicating unchanged context.
- Tailor approval guidance to `send_user_message_async` availability, rebuild it for forked agents and rolled-back history, and exclude Guardian sessions.
## Testing
- Cover default, overridden, disabled, replaced, and retired instructions.
- Cover model changes, history transitions, agent forks, Guardian sessions, and asynchronous-message tool availability.
GitOrigin-RevId: 78e05d0335a70b385bd069b45edcd4ba570cef91
## What changed
- Add the experimental `amazonBedrockAccessKeys` app-server login flow, persist its credentials in the configured auth store, and use them for SigV4-signed Bedrock requests.
- Report `bedrockAccessKeys` as a distinct auth mode and document access-key login alongside AWS profile and environment credential setup.
- Clear the selected Bedrock provider, AWS settings, and Bedrock-specific model on logout while leaving external AWS credentials and `.env` untouched.
- Reject managed access-key login when higher-precedence configuration would prevent its region or profile settings from taking effect.
## Testing
- Cover access-key login, storage, request signing, configuration conflicts, status reporting, and logout cleanup.
GitOrigin-RevId: bbf297887c6503d3651ceb2aad85c4d626e32723
## What changed
- Use `exec_command` and `write_stdin` as the shell tool surface.
- Treat legacy `default`, `local`, and `shell_command` model metadata as `unified_exec`.
- Remove obsolete shell-selection configuration and runtime paths while preserving the feature and policy gates for zsh fork execution.
GitOrigin-RevId: d743cbe598630d73052f1fecad680c4cde17977d
## What changed
- Add the hidden Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red model definitions.
- Refresh model capabilities, instructions, plan availability, and service-tier metadata.
- Configure the auto-review model for Responses Lite and code-mode tools, and update Guardian request tests for the resulting `additional_tools` and developer-message layout.
## Testing
- Update Guardian request snapshots and assertions for initial and follow-up reviews.
- Verify MCP approval routing against the developer-message form of the Guardian prompt.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6680e9abebdcbc43224a81348591e26f8422f3ec
## What changed
- Remove the legacy `shell_command` handler and runtime, leaving `exec_command`
and `write_stdin` as the shell execution tools.
- Treat legacy `shell_command` model metadata as `unified_exec`, and normalize
legacy user opt-outs so they do not disable command execution. Managed feature
requirements and `shell_tool` can still disable it.
- Preserve shell approvals, sandboxing, zsh-fork support, and output truncation
through the unified execution path.
## Testing
- Cover legacy configuration and model-metadata compatibility.
- Exercise unified shell execution, approvals, truncation, and `apply_patch`
serialization across the app-server and core test suites.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5c2fd6164fc3519cdae4944cb9db276b8467311c
## What changed
- Add `rejection_instructions` and `timeout_instructions` to catalog-provided auto-review messages.
- Use the acting model's instructions for denied and timed-out reviews across tool approvals, shell escalation, and MCP elicitation responses.
- Fall back to the existing instructions only when a catalog value is absent, while preserving explicit empty-string overrides.
## Testing
- Cover catalog overrides, legacy fallbacks, empty values, and separation between acting-model and reviewer-model messages.
GitOrigin-RevId: c5b2c2dbdaefd45d1d658651dd1abaeb6d8c93da
## What changed
- Allow `gpt-5.6-sol`, `gpt-5.6-terra`, and `gpt-5.6-luna` context-window overrides up to 872,000 tokens.
- Build the corresponding Amazon Bedrock entries from each bundled model's metadata while preserving Bedrock-specific identifiers, availability, tool, reasoning, and service-tier settings.
## Testing
- Cover long-context override clamping for bundled and Amazon Bedrock GPT-5.6 models.
- Verify the normalized Amazon Bedrock catalog metadata and context limits.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9f530dee501222a4d280bb31bbcdc2dacbe35d7d
## What changed
- Add optional `guardian_v2` model-message defaults for classifier instructions,
review thresholds, reasoning effort, transcript selection and limits, and
action and compaction token limits.
- Apply those defaults when Guardian v2 samples a tool call, while preserving
explicit `[features.guardianv2]` settings over catalog values.
- Preserve the new catalog configuration when applying model overrides.
## Testing
- Cover model-catalog serialization and model override behavior.
- Verify that sampling uses catalog defaults while retaining local overrides.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4ae9ec235c647acbca05a20b7c4b87a4e1331161
## What changed
- Add model-catalog messages for root and subagent roles, explicit delegation, and delegation hints.
- Resolve role instructions in config, catalog, then bundled-default order, while preserving empty values as an explicit way to suppress fallback text.
- Refresh catalog-provided role and mode instructions when the model changes, and give full-history forks the selected child model's subagent role without retaining the parent's role guidance.
- Keep existing config overrides and reasoning-effort behavior, including proactive delegation for ultra reasoning effort.
## Testing
- Cover message deserialization and preservation through model overrides.
- Cover precedence, empty overrides, model switches, resumed sessions, and full-history subagent forks.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4625cf7c6a5490176adddfaa0fb99100707daea9
## What changed
- Set `parallel_tool_calls` for regular and remote compaction prompts without consulting model metadata.
- Remove `supports_parallel_tool_calls` from `ModelInfo`, the bundled model catalog, and related fixtures.
- Preserve the existing Responses Lite behavior that disables parallel tool calls at request construction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 49552bdf97e71fa57325abb49f8adc0c88f1401a
## What changed
- Parse `node_repl_auto_review_required` and `node_repl_disabled` from model catalog entries and include their values in each turn's Responses API metadata.
- Treat both fields as reserved metadata so client-provided values cannot override the selected model's policy.
- Use the selected review model's catalog entry when building metadata for review turns.
## Testing
- Cover metadata propagation across model switches, review turns, Responses API requests, and MCP tool calls.
GitOrigin-RevId: c1f63426eeb8e559abff439fbc618716a4908aff
## What changed
- Add `include_apps_usage_instructions` to model metadata, defaulting to true for compatibility with existing metadata.
- Emit generic Apps guidance only when apps are available and the selected model enables it.
- Enable the capability for interactive model presets while leaving `codex-auto-review` and local models opted out.
## Testing
- Verify that missing metadata defaults to enabled and an explicit opt-out survives serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6a20573cddfd3b80083d2b4b015829b49e6cc283
## What changed
- Propagate the optional `modelSpecialty` field through the model catalog and
app-server `model/list` response.
- When a newly selected model has the `cyber` specialty, default an active TUI
thread to workspace-write permissions with on-request approval. Use auto
review when available, otherwise keep the user as reviewer, while respecting
configured permission requirements.
- Show a notice when auto review is applied and strengthen the full-access
warning for cyber models.
- Preserve explicitly selected permissions when only reasoning settings change.
## Testing
- Cover auto-review defaults, requirement-aware fallback behavior, permission
preservation across reasoning changes, and the new warning notice.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8f25b0082d3051d9ff91f7355921236d0f82f758
## What changed
- Add the public asynchronous `ModelsCache` contract and cache entry/error types.
- Let model providers and `OpenAiModelsManager` accept caller-provided cache implementations while retaining the existing file-backed cache by default.
- Treat cache read failures as misses, keep cache write failures non-fatal, and support refreshing an entry's TTL after ETag revalidation.
- Continue to prefer an explicitly configured static model catalog over an injected cache.
## Testing
- Cover injected cache hits, read and write failures, TTL refreshes, and end-to-end model selection.
- Verify that the file-backed implementation satisfies the new cache contract and does not serve expired entries before revalidation.
GitOrigin-RevId: eef957a317910b8502a0c20f8fc112f689d5e389
## What changed
- Add `include_plugin_usage_instructions` to model metadata, defaulting to false.
- Emit generic plugin guidance only when plugins are available and the selected model enables it.
- Enable the capability for interactive model presets while leaving `codex-auto-review` opted out.
GitOrigin-RevId: 67f5a97e978033f5f1d533956c0b9deeae610283
## What changed
- Remove `ModelInfo.base_instructions` as an in-memory instruction source and use `model_messages.instructions_template` consistently for bundled, remote, fallback, and overridden model metadata.
- Preserve compatibility by promoting legacy `base_instructions` values when reading model responses and caches, and by including rendered legacy instructions when serializing `ModelsResponse` for older clients.
- Treat templates without instruction variables as literal text and retain the other model-message fields when applying instruction overrides.
This completes the consolidation proposed in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/31302.
## Testing
- Cover legacy response and cache migration, canonical-template precedence, fallback instructions, personality rendering, overrides, and model switching.
GitOrigin-RevId: 089d986ca5e30da67db2c77a1b6a046d2cff52dc
## What changed
- Add optional `default` and `plan` collaboration-mode messages to model catalog metadata.
- Prefer the active mode's catalog message, including an explicit empty value, while falling back to the existing developer instructions when the catalog variant is absent.
- Track the model in collaboration-mode world state so mode and model changes append the appropriate instructions, and clear prior instructions when no current message exists.
- Preserve catalog collaboration messages when instruction overrides remove other model instruction fields.
## Testing
- Cover catalog deserialization, variant selection, fallback and empty-message behavior, legacy snapshot migration, mode changes, and model changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: d4c6c0028423bc50b0e8175e55586f3e7bc1c3a8
## Why
Matching model ETags can arrive on every response, but a recent models cache does
not need to be rewritten each time.
## What changed
Renew the models cache timestamp only after more than half of its configured TTL
has elapsed. Matching ETags continue to avoid refetching `/models`.
## Testing
Added integration coverage that verifies a recent cache remains unchanged and an
older cache is renewed without another `/models` request.
GitOrigin-RevId: b45da3824674c6b41d982ba4a405b419b09b7715
## What changed
- Add token-budget settings to model catalog messages and apply them when the
feature is enabled without explicit token-budget configuration.
- Keep explicit user settings authoritative, reject invalid catalog defaults,
and preserve resolved defaults in exported config locks.
- Manage context-window guidance through world state so it updates once when
the active model changes while retaining prior conversation history.
## Testing
- Cover catalog defaults, explicit overrides, disabled features, invalid
values, config-lock replay, and model switching.
GitOrigin-RevId: 54544fefaa14b09f5ef5bad9967a13c52b87b0fe
## What changed
- Add the action-risk review prompt template and default generic security policy to the `codex-auto-review` catalog entry.
- Define its `never` approval and `danger_full_access`, `workspace_write`, and `read_only` permission messages.
GitOrigin-RevId: 025bb609c12ae9d5235054747267a1ee46d118ef
## Why
ChatGPT token refresh requests need to follow the same configured routing policy as other authentication traffic, including environments that use the system proxy.
## What changed
- Require an `AuthRouteConfig` throughout login, logout, token refresh, personal access token, and agent identity flows.
- Build auth HTTP clients directly from that configuration instead of falling back to a default HTTP client when routing configuration is absent.
## Testing
- Add an integration test that refreshes a token through a cached system-proxy route and verifies the proxy receives the expected request.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7d54ab3219939a49921c51faf08cd4c2eabca51c
## What changed
- Add model-catalog approval message variants for `never` and `unless_trusted`.
- Select the catalog message that matches the active approval policy, while retaining the existing built-in text when that variant is absent.
- Treat an explicitly empty variant as an instruction to suppress the built-in approval text, consistent with `on_request` messages.
## Testing
- Cover variant selection, fallback and empty-message behavior, catalog deserialization, and the initial permissions message sent to the model.
GitOrigin-RevId: a0f8d41a08645f39b80093be53f200eeee18ca25
## What changed
- Add personality instruction variables for the GPT-5.6 model variants.
- Add the GPT-5.5 availability notice.
- Remove the `auto_review` and `permissions` message fields and the legacy `supports_reasoning_summary_parameter` flag from the bundled catalog.
GitOrigin-RevId: 426b0735a78232d2f658e0124db7c45889d08286
## What changed
- Set the bundled GPT-5.6 model variants' context windows to 272,000 tokens.
- Refresh model instructions and message configuration.
- Record reasoning-summary support and update skills, permissions, and auto-review metadata across the model catalog.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8be55124bf50af14756a174033a5cb362f4db714
## What changed
- Add an optional `policy_template` field to auto-review model messages.
- Build Guardian instructions from the catalog template when present, while
preserving the existing precedence for managed and catalog policy content.
- Fall back independently to the bundled template and bundled policy, and
preserve explicit empty catalog values.
## Testing
- Cover missing and empty template deserialization, policy precedence, bundled
fallbacks, and Guardian prewarm instructions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 93116dadbc9bf40527882844a428caed4159fff6
## What changed
- Hide `gpt-5.4` and `gpt-5.4-mini` from model selection and direct existing users to `gpt-5.6-terra` and `gpt-5.6-luna`, respectively.
- Use Terra for memory consolidation and Luna for memory extraction and rate-limit switch prompts.
- Keep Amazon Bedrock GPT-5 catalog entries visible when their bundled model metadata is hidden.
## Testing
- Add coverage that all Amazon Bedrock GPT-5 models remain visible and update TUI expectations for the new model choices.
GitOrigin-RevId: fd69c8d5fb6b510c77204df6b7ac3f07e67cded2
## What changed
- Add per-sandbox-mode permission messages to `ModelMessages` and preserve them when applying model configuration overrides.
- Use the selected catalog message in permission instructions, substituting `{{ network_access }}` with the active network policy. Fall back to the existing sandbox text when no override is provided, and allow an empty override to omit only the sandbox section.
- Apply catalog permission messages when a session starts and when its model changes.
## Testing
- Cover catalog deserialization, mode selection, network substitution, fallback and empty-message behavior, remote model catalogs, and model changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: cd5ed3aee3155dca0e7b2358c0f09bae73236856
## Why
Embedding callers need to control whether model catalogs are persisted to disk.
## What changed
- Accept a shared models manager when constructing `ThreadManager` instead of always creating a cached manager internally.
- Add provider APIs for creating uncached model managers. OpenAI-compatible providers fetch on each `OnlineIfUncached` refresh without reading or writing `models_cache.json`.
- Keep existing app server, MCP server, sample, and test callers on the standard cached manager.
## Testing
- Verify an uncached manager fetches on every refresh.
- Verify an injected uncached manager controls thread refresh behavior and does not create `models_cache.json`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8bb646054ecec4ccb865b2bf56249384916ea9db
## What changed
- Add an `auto_review.policy` field to model catalog messages.
- Use the selected Guardian model's catalog policy for review-session instructions, while preserving the precedence of `guardian_policy_config` and falling back to the built-in policy when neither is present.
- Preserve auto-review messages when model instruction overrides remove catalog instruction templates.
## Testing
- Cover configured-policy precedence, explicit empty catalog policies, catalog-message preservation, and propagation of the catalog policy into a prewarmed Guardian session.
GitOrigin-RevId: 26b61ae2958ea8325a64834dcf91f47e140d74b3
## What changed
- Add `supports_reasoning_summary_parameter` to model metadata, defaulting to
`true` for backward compatibility.
- Omit `reasoning.summary` and its summary-delivery stream option when the
selected model does not support the parameter.
- Apply the capability of the final selected model when a spawned agent uses a
different model.
## Testing
- Cover unsupported models in regular requests and spawned-agent model
overrides.
GitOrigin-RevId: 72b783799fc0685cef1501ef2dbf62d1308ceead
## Why
Model catalog instructions can include a baked-in `# Personality` section. An
explicit `none` setting should omit that section instead of sending it as part
of the model's base instructions.
## What changed
- Pass the configured personality into the models manager.
- When personality support is enabled and the setting is explicitly `none`,
remove the `# Personality` section through the next level-one heading from
catalog base instructions and instruction templates.
- Preserve explicit `base_instructions` overrides and avoid warning when no
personality was requested.
## Testing
Added unit and integration coverage for section removal, heading boundaries,
CRLF input, preserved configurations, and explicit base instructions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 452c88d3ac6001c2ac7d4fef269cd75dc239fa61
## What changed
- Build a reasoning payload for every Responses request and always include `reasoning.encrypted_content`.
- Remove `supports_reasoning_summaries` from model metadata and retire the `model_supports_reasoning_summaries` configuration override.
- Use configured or model-default reasoning effort without a capability gate, including for guardian reviews and tracing.
