What does this PR do?

What was broken. The ChatGPT-subscription (OAuth) model filter in plugin/codex.ts was assembled from the models.dev catalog instead of from what the Codex backend actually serves, so it was wrong in both directions at once.

It offered three models the backend refuses. gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.6 were both in OAUTH_ALLOWED_MODELS, and gpt-5.3-codex slipped in via the modelId.includes("codex") auto-allow. Picking any of them died mid-request with an opaque 400 {"detail":"The '<id>' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}.

It also hid three models the backend does serve: gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-luna, and gpt-5.6-terra. Those are the current flagship subscription models. They had been excluded deliberately, on the untested assumption that the sol/luna/terra variants were API-tier-only, which meant subscribers could not select models they already pay for. This supersedes the narrower framing of #1132, which added plain gpt-5.6 on catalog presence alone — the backend rejects that id, and only its variants are served.

What I changed. I probed every gpt-5.x id in the catalog against POST https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses on a ChatGPT Pro credential and rebuilt the allowlist from the responses:

Accepted (HTTP 200) Rejected (HTTP 400)
gpt-5.3-codex-spark, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.5, gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra gpt-5, gpt-5.1, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.2-pro, gpt-5.3-chat-latest, gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.4-nano, gpt-5.4-pro, gpt-5.5-pro, gpt-5.6

I also removed the includes("codex") substring auto-allow rather than patching it. It cannot express the real policy — the tier accepts gpt-5.3-codex-spark but rejects gpt-5.3-codex, and accepts gpt-5.6-sol but rejects gpt-5.6. There is no derivable rule in that table, so membership is exact-match only, and the comments say so along with how to add an id later (probe it first).

On client identity. We identify as ourselves throughout. The wired plugin already sends originator: "altimate" and a User-Agent naming altimate-code with its Installation.VERSION via the chat.headers hook, and all verification above was done under that identity. Nothing here impersonates a first-party OpenAI client.

Why this list is static, and not discovered. The obvious objection to any hand-maintained allowlist is that it drifts the moment OpenAI ships a model or changes entitlements. So I went looking for a way to derive the list instead of asserting it, and there is an authoritative per-account endpoint:

GET https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models?client_version=<v>

It works, and it accepts our own identity — originator: altimate plus our own User-Agent, no impersonation required. It returns rich per-model metadata (slug, visibility, minimal_client_version, supported_in_api, context_window, …), and its visibility: "list" slugs are exactly the seven ids in the corrected OAUTH_ALLOWED_MODELS:

gpt-5.6-sol          vis=list  minver=0.144.0
gpt-5.6-terra        vis=list  minver=0.144.0
gpt-5.6-luna         vis=list  minver=0.144.0
gpt-reserve          vis=hide  minver=0.144.0
gpt-5.5              vis=list  minver=0.124.0
gpt-5.4              vis=list  minver=0.98.0
gpt-5.4-mini         vis=list  minver=0.98.0
gpt-5.3-codex-spark  vis=list  minver=0.100.0
codex-auto-review    vis=hide  minver=0.98.0

That is a useful result on its own: an independent source, reached a different way, confirms the table this PR builds by request-level probing. The two hidden entries (gpt-reserve, codex-auto-review) are internal and are not in the models.dev catalog anyway.

But it cannot be used as a runtime source of truth, so I did not wire it up. client_version is mandatory, and the backend gates each model behind its minimal_client_version — today 0.98.0 through 0.144.0. Those are Codex CLI release numbers, a numbering line we are not on, and our own versions sit below all of them. Worse, the gate fails silently:

client_version sent Result
(omitted) 400 {"detail":"Invalid client_version format"}
local (our dev builds) 400 {"detail":"Invalid client_version format"}
0.9.7 (our published version) 200 {"models":[]}
0.144.0 200 — all 9 models

So discovery returns nothing usable unless we send a Codex CLI version we are not. That is impersonating the first-party client in the one field the backend actually gates on, and a silent empty list is a worse failure mode than a stale list: it would hide every model with no error to debug. I also checked whether the entitlement data is reachable another way — /backend-api/codex/{user_info,account,entitlements,config} all 404, and /backend-api/models returns the ChatGPT web app namespace (gpt-5-6, gpt-5.6-sol-wm), not Codex API slugs.

Conclusion: derive-don't-assert is the right instinct here, and it is blocked on a version handshake we cannot honestly make. Rather than lose the investigation, I committed it as a comment on OAUTH_ALLOWED_MODELS recording the endpoint, the corroboration, the blocker, and the drop-in shape (fetch → keep visibility === "list" → fall back to the static set when empty or failed) should a legitimate client_version ever exist. That is the only code change in the second commit; there is no behavior change.

The honest alternative available today, if the maintenance burden of this list becomes real, is lazy validation: keep the picker permissive and, on the specific 400 … is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account, surface an error naming the models that do work. That trades a fast-fail at selection for never hiding a working model. I have not implemented it here — it is a different design with its own tradeoff, and this PR is already a behavior change to the picker.

What this is not. The failure initially looked like a transport problem, since the real Codex CLI negotiates a websocket (openai-beta: responses_websockets=...) while we POST over plain HTTP. That turned out to be a dead end. I probed the endpoint with escalating header sets — originator + User-Agent, then openai-beta, version, x-codex-beta-features, session-id, x-client-request-id — and every combination returned byte-identical results. Plain HTTP reaches every working model. The websocket path in the unwired plugin/openai/ refactor is a streaming optimization gated behind OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_WEBSOCKETS, off by default even there, and it is not required for model access. So this PR changes no transport code and leaves the OAuth flow and token refresh untouched.

Two caveats worth stating plainly. This table is what one Pro account was served today; OpenAI can change the served set at any time, and I did not verify against a Plus (non-Pro) credential, so it is possible Plus is served a narrower set. And because the discovery endpoint is per-account, its agreement with the probed table confirms the list is right for this account — it is corroboration, not proof that every subscription tier sees the same seven.

How did you verify your code works?

Live, end to end, through the real CLI on a ChatGPT Pro credential.

A newly-allowlisted model returns real output:

$ bun run --conditions=browser packages/opencode/src/index.ts run \
    --format json --yolo --max-turns 1 --model openai/gpt-5.6-sol "Reply with exactly OK"
{"type":"text",...,"text":"OK",...}
{"type":"step_finish",...,"reason":"stop","tokens":{"total":55675,...}}

And a second, previously-working model still does:

$ ... --model openai/gpt-5.4 "Reply with exactly OK"
{"type":"text",...,"text":"OK",...}

A removed model now fails fast at selection with a useful pointer, instead of a 400 halfway through a request:

$ ... --model openai/gpt-5.6 "hi"
Error: Model not found: openai/gpt-5.6
Did you mean: gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.3-codex-spark, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.5

Before the change, that same gpt-5.6 command reached the network and returned
400 {"detail":"The 'gpt-5.6' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}.

Gates:

  • bun test test/plugin/codex-allowlist.test.ts test/plugin/codex.test.ts test/plugin/openai-ws.test.ts test/plugin/openai-rollout.test.ts → 53 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail
  • bun run typecheck in packages/opencode → clean
  • bun run script/upstream/analyze.ts --markers --base main --strictAll custom code in upstream-shared files is properly marked

The allowlist was also checked against the discovery endpoint described above, which is an independent source reached a different way. Its visibility: "list" slugs and the CLI's picker agree exactly:

$ bun run --conditions=browser packages/opencode/src/index.ts models | grep '^openai/'
openai/gpt-5.3-codex-spark
openai/gpt-5.4
openai/gpt-5.4-mini
openai/gpt-5.5
openai/gpt-5.6-luna
openai/gpt-5.6-sol
openai/gpt-5.6-terra

All gates were re-run after the second (comment-only) commit and are still green.

The rewritten codex-allowlist.test.ts encodes the truth table as two lists and asserts both directions, so a future edit that either hides a working model or admits a rejected one fails the suite. It also pins the allowlist to exactly the verified set, so speculative additions trip a test rather than reaching users. No test added here touches the network.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes which OpenAI models OAuth subscribers see and can select; wrong entries affect UX but do not alter OAuth tokens or request auth paths.

Overview
Replaces the ChatGPT-subscription (OAuth) model filter in plugin/codex.ts with a probe-verified exact allowlist instead of catalog guesses and a "codex" substring auto-allow.

Picker behavior: Adds working ids (gpt-5.3-codex-spark, gpt-5.6-sol/luna/terra) and removes ones the backend rejects (gpt-5.2, plain gpt-5.6, and ids that only slipped in via includes("codex") like gpt-5.3-codex). Unsupported models should fail at selection rather than mid-request with HTTP 400.

Alias fix: New disallowedOAuthModelKeys judges each entry by upstream model.api.id (fallback to map key), so user config aliases of supported models are no longer dropped when the map key differs from the API id.

Tests: codex-allowlist.test.ts pins the allowlist to verified accepted/rejected sets and covers alias and cold-cache snapshot codex-id behavior.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the ChatGPT-subscription model allowlist in plugin/codex.ts so it matches what the Codex backend actually serves, and makes the filter match on the upstream api.id so config aliases of supported models survive. Users can now pick working flagship models like gpt-5.6-sol, unsupported ids like gpt-5.6 fail fast at selection instead of dying mid-request with a 400, and user-defined aliases of working models no longer vanish from the picker.

Notes

  • Every gpt-5.x id was probed against the live endpoint on a ChatGPT Pro credential; the verified accepted and rejected sets are documented in the code comments.
  • Removed the includes("codex") substring auto-allow; membership is exact-match only. That now drops stale codex ids from the bundled catalog snapshot (gpt-5.1-codex, etc.) that the old rule offered, and on a cold cache the new gpt-5.6 models stay hidden too — the snapshot has no such variants — until the catalog refreshes from models.dev.
  • The filter now matches model.api.id with a fallback to the map key, so aliases like fast-sparkgpt-5.3-codex-spark survive while aliases of rejected ids are still deleted.
  • Rewrote codex-allowlist.test.ts to pin the allowlist to the verified set and cover both filter behaviors, so speculative additions or either direction of breakage trips a test.
  • Supersedes Have GPT 5.6 with OpenAI ChatGPT Codex subscription #1132; the backend rejects plain gpt-5.6.
  • The list is a snapshot from one Pro account; Plus may be served a narrower set, and OpenAI can change it at any time.
  • Closes ChatGPT-subscription model allowlist is wrong in both directions #1178.

…e backend

The OAuth model filter was built from the models.dev catalog rather than from
what the Codex endpoint actually serves, so it was wrong in both directions.
Verified every gpt-5.x id against `POST /backend-api/codex/responses` on a
ChatGPT Pro credential and rebuilt the allowlist from the results.

Removed (offered in the picker, rejected by the backend with HTTP 400):
- `gpt-5.2` and `gpt-5.6`, both explicitly allowlisted
- `gpt-5.3-codex`, admitted by the `modelId.includes("codex")` auto-allow

Added (served by the backend, previously hidden from the picker):
- `gpt-5.6-sol`, `gpt-5.6-luna`, `gpt-5.6-terra` — the current flagship
  subscription models, excluded on an untested assumption that the
  sol/luna/terra variants were API-tier-only

Dropped the `includes("codex")` substring auto-allow. It cannot express the
real policy: the tier accepts `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` but rejects
`gpt-5.3-codex`, and accepts `gpt-5.6-sol` but rejects `gpt-5.6`. Membership
is now exact-match only.

Transport was never involved. Plain HTTP with our own `originator: altimate`
identity reaches every working model; no websocket, `openai-beta`, or
`x-codex-beta-features` header changes any outcome.

Rewrote `codex-allowlist.test.ts` around the verified truth table so both
failure directions are guarded, plus a regression barrier against
reintroducing a substring rule.

Closes #1178

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Codex OAuth model filter now uses an exact backend-verified allowlist. It filters models by upstream api.id, preserves supported aliases, removes rejected aliases, and covers accepted, rejected, and unprobed catalog models.

Changes

Codex OAuth allowlist

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exact allowlist policy
packages/opencode/src/plugin/codex.ts, packages/opencode/test/plugin/codex-allowlist.test.ts
The allowlist documents verified, rejected, and unprobed model IDs. shouldAllowOAuthModel accepts only exact matches. Tests verify the accepted and rejected sets, including exact codex IDs.
Alias-aware model filtering
packages/opencode/src/plugin/codex.ts, packages/opencode/test/plugin/codex-allowlist.test.ts
disallowedOAuthModelKeys evaluates api.id, falls back to map keys, and returns keys for removal. The OAuth loader deletes those keys.
Loader regression coverage
packages/opencode/test/plugin/codex-allowlist.test.ts
Tests cover supported aliases, rejected aliases, missing API IDs, catalog models, empty model maps, and unprobed snapshot IDs.

packages/opencode/src/plugin/codex.ts 559 The OAuth filter only deletes from provider.models, but the bundled models-snapshot.ts contains no gpt-5.6 variant (verified), and ModelsDev.Data resolves disk cache → snapshot → fetch. On a fresh install/cold cache the three newly-allowlisted flagship models (gpt-5.6-sol/luna/terra) are absent from the catalog, so the primary fix is a no-op for cold-cache users until the snapshot is regenerated.

None was probed, so their removal is unverified; now documented as a fail-closed decision and pinned by a test, but still an unprobed removal of previously-selectable models.

Comment thread packages/opencode/src/plugin/codex.ts
The obvious objection to the allowlist this PR corrects is that any static
list drifts. There is an authoritative per-account endpoint that would let us
derive it instead — `GET /backend-api/codex/models?client_version=<v>` — so I
probed it rather than leave the objection unanswered.

It works, and it accepts our own identity: `originator: altimate` plus our own
User-Agent, no impersonation. Its `visibility: "list"` slugs are exactly the
seven ids in `OAUTH_ALLOWED_MODELS`, which independently confirms the table
built by request-level probing.

It is still unusable as a runtime source of truth. `client_version` is
mandatory and is gated against each model's `minimal_client_version`, today
0.98.0 through 0.144.0 — Codex CLI release numbers, a line we are not on. Our
versions sit below all of them and the gate fails silently: our published
`0.9.7` returns `HTTP 200 {"models":[]}`, and a dev build's `local` returns
`400 {"detail":"Invalid client_version format"}`. Deriving the list would mean
asserting a Codex CLI version we are not, so the list stays static.

Comment-only; no behavior change. Records the endpoint, the corroboration, the
blocker, and the drop-in shape should a legitimate client_version ever exist,
so the next person does not repeat the investigation.

Comment thread packages/opencode/src/plugin/codex.ts Outdated
Addresses review on #1179.

`shouldAllowOAuthModel` was called with the model map KEY. For every
models.dev catalog entry the key equals `api.id`, so this was invisible —
but a user can alias a model in config:

    provider.openai.models.fast-spark.id = "gpt-5.3-codex-spark"

Config models are folded into the provider database ("extend database from
config" in `Provider.state`) BEFORE auth loaders run, so that entry reaches
this loader keyed `fast-spark` with the real id on `api.id`. Matching the
key deleted it, hiding a model the backend actually serves. The sibling
`plugin/openai/codex.ts` filter already matches on `model.api.id`.

Extracted `disallowedOAuthModelKeys`, which resolves `api.id ?? key` — the
fallback matters because the database only backfills
`model.api.id ?? model.id ?? modelID` after this hook runs, so the field is
not guaranteed populated despite the type. Behaviour is unchanged for every
catalog model (key === api.id verified against models.dev/api.json); only
aliases move, and an alias of a rejected id is still deleted.

Comment corrections, no behaviour change:

- The allowlist claimed every other gpt-5.x catalog id had been probed. It
  had not: gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano, gpt-5-pro and gpt-5.2-chat-latest are in
  the catalog and in neither list. Recorded as unprobed and fail-closed
  rather than left as an overclaim.
- Recorded that the truth table is one Pro account's entitlements and has
  not been checked against a Plus credential.
- Recorded that the codex-tagged ids reviewers keep asking about
  (gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max, gpt-5.1-codex-mini, gpt-5.2-codex,
  gpt-5.3-codex-xhigh) are absent from the models.dev catalog entirely, so
  no filter here can hide them.
- Disambiguated the two version numbers. What reaches the wire is
  `Installation.VERSION` (the npm-published 0.9.7, or `local` for a dev
  build), not the 1.17.9 in packages/opencode/package.json, which is
  inherited from upstream and never sent. Also stated that the blocker is
  not arithmetic: bumping our number would not lift it, because the field
  asserts which Codex CLI release we are.

Six new tests cover the alias fix in both directions, the missing-api.id
fallback, and that the catalog set resolves identically either way.

The allowlist membership is byte-for-byte unchanged, as is the
`originator: "altimate"` identity.

My previous commit asserted that gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max,
gpt-5.1-codex-mini, gpt-5.2-codex and gpt-5.3-codex-xhigh "are not in the
models.dev catalog at all", and concluded that no filter here could hide
them. That was wrong, and the review that caught it was right.

I had checked live https://models.dev/api.json and stopped there. There is a
second catalog: the bundled provider/models-snapshot.ts. ModelsDev.Data
resolves disk cache -> bundled snapshot -> fetch, so on a fresh install or
cold cache the snapshot IS the catalog. Its `openai` provider still carries
gpt-5-codex, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max, gpt-5.1-codex-mini and
gpt-5.2-codex. Those five did reach the loader, the removed
includes("codex") rule did offer them, and exact matching does now delete
them. None was individually probed.

They stay excluded, on the same fail-closed reasoning applied to gpt-5.2: an
unverified inclusion fails opaquely mid-request, an unverified exclusion
fails visibly at selection. But that is a decision, and it is now recorded as
one rather than dressed up as a discovery.

The same staleness cuts the other way and is also now recorded: the bundled
snapshot contains no gpt-5.6 variant at all, so on a cold cache sol/luna/terra
are absent from the catalog and this allowlist cannot conjure them — the
filter only deletes. The allowlist is necessary for them to appear but, on a
cold cache, not sufficient; they surface once the catalog refreshes from
models.dev or the snapshot is regenerated at the next release build.

Adds a test pinning the five unprobed snapshot codex ids as excluded-by-
decision, asserting they are in neither verified list, so a future probe has
an obvious place to land.

Comments and tests only. The allowlist membership is unchanged, as is
request-time behaviour.

Both retire from the ChatGPT-subscription model picker at
2026-08-31T19:00:00Z. `openai/codex`'s shipped catalog
(codex-rs/models-manager/models.json, fetched first-hand) marks both
`visibility: "hide"` with `upgrade.retirement_at: "2026-08-31T19:00:00Z"` and
names the replacements: gpt-5.4 -> gpt-5.6-terra, gpt-5.4-mini -> gpt-5.6-luna.
Both replacements are already in `OAUTH_ALLOWED_MODELS`, so affected users land
on a working model with no further change.

This is a subscription-picker retirement, NOT an API deprecation: both ids
still carry `supported_in_api: true`, neither is on OpenAI's deprecations page,
and models.dev marks neither `deprecated`. The filter only runs when
`auth.type === "oauth"`, so API-key users are unaffected.

It will not self-heal. models.dev hard-deletes an id only once it stops serving
entirely, and these remain live API models, so the catalog keeps them. Left in
the allowlist they would sit in the subscription picker past the deadline and
fail at request time with the same opaque 400 that #1179 rebuilt this list to
prevent.

Tests: gpt-5.4 / gpt-5.4-mini move out of VERIFIED_ACCEPTED into a new
RETIRED_FROM_SUBSCRIPTION constant rather than into VERIFIED_REJECTED — they
probed HTTP 200, so they stopped being offered rather than being refused, and
collapsing the two would misrepresent the evidence. Adds coverage that each
retired id is excluded and that its documented replacement is still offered.

* fix: drop gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.4-mini from the subscription allowlist

* docs: record why this removal is sequenced behind the catalog fix

Review caught a case I had not checked. The filter only ever deletes, so it
cannot add a model the catalog lacks. Release binaries built before the
release.yml MODELS_DEV_API_JSON fix (#1186/#1188) embed a 2026-03-30 fixture
that contains neither gpt-5.6-terra nor gpt-5.6-luna, so on a cold cache this
removal takes an OAuth user from three selectable models to one:

  shipped snapshot, before: gpt-5.3-codex-spark, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini
  shipped snapshot, after:  gpt-5.3-codex-spark
  live catalog, after:      gpt-5.3-codex-spark, gpt-5.5, sol, luna, terra

Released after #1188 the replacements are present and the regression does not
occur. Comment-only; records the ordering constraint where the next reader of
this allowlist will find it.

* docs: state the cold-cache model counts per artefact, not as one number

Review correctly flagged the previous note as imprecise. It said the removal
leaves "only gpt-5.3-codex-spark", which is true of shipped release binaries but
not of a source checkout: the committed models-snapshot.ts blob is newer than
the release.yml fixture and does carry gpt-5.5.

Measured against all three catalogs:

  release fixture (105 providers): 3 allowed -> 1  (spark)
  committed blob  (144 providers): 4 allowed -> 2  (spark, gpt-5.5)
  live models.dev (207 providers): 7 allowed -> 5  (spark, 5.5, sol/luna/terra)

The sequencing rationale is unchanged and holds on either reading: no pre-#1188
bundled catalog contains gpt-5.6-terra or gpt-5.6-luna, so the user loses models
with no documented replacement to move to until #1188 ships.

* docs: record the post-#1188 model counts now that the catalog fix has merged

#1188 merged as `5993471bad`, so `release.yml` no longer pins
`MODELS_DEV_API_JSON` to the 2026-03-30 test fixture and release builds embed a
release-time models.dev catalog.

The cold-cache figures in this comment were measured against pre-#1188 catalogs
and read in the present tense, so they now describe a state that no longer
exists. Re-measured by running the unmodified release build path
(`MODELS_DEV_API_JSON` unset, which makes `strictCatalog` true) and inspecting
the `models-snapshot.ts` it generates: 207 providers, 47 openai models, both
`gpt-5.6-terra` and `gpt-5.6-luna` present.

Applying the real `disallowedOAuthModelKeys` filter to that catalog, a
subscription user goes from seven selectable models to five, losing only the two
retired ids. The pre-#1188 wording is kept in the past tense because it is the
reason the sequencing existed.

The source-checkout figure (four down to two, off the committed
`models-snapshot.ts` blob) is unchanged and re-verified.

Comment only — no behaviour change.
