Resolve the model id for custom/proxy providers by ENDPOINT PROVENANCE
instead of a catalog-family guess. The old gate stripped a vendor prefix
whenever the bare id was first-party of the prefix's home vendor, which
could not distinguish a namespace the proxy actually routes on
(x-ai/grok-4.5 -> keep) from a stale cross-provider leftover on a relay
that only serves bare ids (openai/gpt-5.4 -> strip). A model graduating
into the first-party catalog (agent commit adding grok-4.5) silently
flipped a working custom-proxy id from preserved to stripped -> HTTP 400.
New _endpoint_advertised_model_ids() reads the already-published catalog
snapshot (never builds/probes/touches disk; O(1) per send via a
snapshot-identity memo) and answers what the endpoint advertised:
- full vendor/model advertised -> preserve (#5979, #3872, #548)
- only the bare id advertised -> strip the redundant prefix (#433)
- cold/unbuilt catalog -> preserve verbatim (fail-safe toward
the id the user actively selected)
The non-custom first-party-proxy strip arm is unchanged.
Rewrites the two pinned #433 tests to model provenance (bare-only
advertised) and adds #5979 coverage: advertised-full preserve (bare +
named custom), cold-catalog preserve-verbatim, and both-advertised
prefers-full.
Thanks @b3nw for the report and precise root-cause analysis.
* fix(chat): keep transcript pinned across composer auto-resize (#5514)
Reported by @JeffArcLogic.
autoResize() sets the textarea to height:'auto' before measuring scrollHeight
and restoring the height. The transient collapse grows the flex:1 #messages
viewport and the browser clamps a bottom-anchored scrollTop down by the collapse
delta, stranding the reader a few px above the bottom on every keystroke while
the composer is multi-row (delta proportional to composer height) — and the
clamp's async scroll event sticky-unpins the reader, dead-ending the #5516
grow-path re-pin and stream auto-follow. The prior #5516 fix only re-pinned on
NET growth, so a steady-state keystroke was missed.
Fix: snapshot #messages.scrollTop before the height round-trip and restore it
after, undoing the transient clamp within the same synchronous task. Protects
pinned AND near-bottom scrolled-up readers, takes no _programmaticScroll latch,
inert to iOS toolbar reflows. The grow-gated re-pin + ResizeObserver remain for
genuine net growth.
* test(#5514): make near-bottom-unpinned case non-vacuous (Codex gate nit)
The companion unpinned case used scrollTop=7900, below the transient clamp max
(7903), so it never actually clamped and passed on master too. Move it to 7990
(inside the clamp zone: 7903 < 7990 < settled-bottom 8023) so it genuinely
exercises the transient-clamp yank the fix prevents.

* fix(transparent-stream): defer settled tool-detail DOM + cap per-turn rows (#5966)
Reported by @curtisszmania-cytocync.
Transparent Stream built a DOM node for every activity event of every settled
turn at load, and eagerly materialized each tool row's full detail body — a
15+ prompt reasoning-heavy history produced thousands of subtrees and tipped the
tab into a multi-GB freeze. The #5860/#5839 lazy-worklog fix did not cover
Transparent Stream (it never collapses).
Two-part surgical fix in static/ui.js, mirroring #5860's proven machinery:
- Row-detail deferral: a settled+collapsed transparent tool row renders
header-only; its heavy .tool-card-detail body builds on first expand
(_materializeTransparentToolDetail), recovering the tool call from the scene
after an innerHTML cache round-trip. Same anchor-suppressed post-processing as
the eager path, so an expanded row is byte-identical.
- Per-turn row cap: a settled turn with >CAP+SLACK (30+10) rows renders the last
30 behind a clean 'Show earlier steps (N)' affordance that materializes the
prefix in place with viewport compensation. Just-settled turn (keep-open token)
and already-revealed turns are exempt; true Trace tool-count is stashed so the
label stays honest; Expand-all reveals capped rows; cache-restore re-wires the
affordance. Live rendering is untouched.
Server-side #5858 (scene serialize-after-messages) already covers the container
RSS half on the experimental channel; this is the browser-DOM half.
* style(#5966): compact 'Show earlier steps' pill (hug content, left-aligned)
Constrain the affordance to fit-content width + align-self:flex-start so it
reads as a light inline control on the activity rail, not a full-width bar.
* fix(#5966): address Codex gate findings + Fable UX fast-follows
Codex SHIP-ONLY-WITH-FIXES (3 SILENT defects), all fixed + browser-verified:
- F1: buildToolCard PRE-BUILDS .tool-card-detail when a tool has args/output, so
the old `!detail` defer guard skipped exactly the heavy rows. Defer now fires on
settled+collapsed+has-detail and STRIPS any prebuilt body (verified: 400 shell
tool rows -> 0 detail bodies mounted; expand still materializes byte-identically).
- F2: stamp owner rawIdx on rows + affordance; dataset recovery and cache-restore
rebind resolve the scene-owning message (multi-segment turns own it on a later
segment, not the first) with a scene-owning-segment fallback.
- F3: persist revealed-turn state in a session/owner-keyed Set + invalidate the
session HTML cache on reveal, so a rebuild/switch-away never re-caps a turn the
user expanded (verified: reveal 30->400, full re-render stays 400).
Fable SHIP-UX fast-follows: t()-with-fallback label (+ en locale keys), 640px
touch breakpoint, stale comment fixed.
Tests: 21 pass (added has-detail deferral+strip, detail-less no-defer, owner-idx
recovery, persistent-reveal, i18n).
* fix(#5966): address Codex re-gate findings (r2)
Codex re-gate SHIP-ONLY-WITH-FIXES — 2 more SILENT defects, both fixed + browser-verified:
- F1(r2): _materializeTransparentToolDetail rebuilt via the thinner
_transparentToolDetailHtml(), dropping buildToolCard's richer detail (diff
coloring / show-more / canonical shell-command lead). Now transplants
buildToolCard(tc)'s own .tool-card-detail node so an expanded deferred row is
byte-identical to the eager path (verified: canonical structure + 595-char body).
- F2(r2): after an in-session renderMessages() rebuild (next send) an already-open
settled tool row got re-deferred, and disclosure-restore only toggled .open →
open-but-empty card. _setWorklogDetailDisclosureOpen now materializes a deferred
transparent row BEFORE toggling open (verified: expand → rebuild → still open
WITH content). Likely the same defect the RegressionGate caught intermittently.
Tests: 22 pass (added canonical-detail + disclosure-restore-materialize).
* fix(review): add show_earlier_steps i18n keys to all locales (#5966)
The transparent-stream row-cap "Show N earlier steps" pill added two new
i18n keys (show_earlier_steps, show_earlier_step_one) to the English block
only, so the strict locale-parity tests (zh/ko/ru/zh-Hant/...) failed with
missing-key assertions and CI shard 0 went red across 3.11/3.12/3.13.
Add both keys to all 14 non-English locale blocks with the English string as
fallback (the repo's established add-with-English-fallback convention for new
UI keys). Inserted after each block's collapse_all anchor. All 197 locale
tests + the #5966 suite green; node --check clean.
* fix(review): extract _transparentToolRowHasDetail into the #5700 harness
#5966 added a _transparentToolRowHasDetail() call into the settled transparent
render (_anchorSceneTransparentNodeForRow) to decide whether to defer a
collapsed tool row's detail body. The pre-existing #5700 timestamp test extracts
that render fn into a node harness but didn't extract the new helper, so the
extracted fn hit a ReferenceError → node exited non-zero → 3 #5700 tests failed
(RED across CI shards; the PR updated its own #5966 harness but missed this one).
Add `eval(extractFunc('_transparentToolRowHasDetail'))` to the harness. The
helper self-guards its _toolActionKind/_toolCardAllowsDetail deps (returns true
when absent), and the #5700 timestamp lives on the row HEADER (rendered even when
detail is deferred), so all 20 #5700 assertions pass unchanged — confirming this
was a harness gap, not a timestamp regression.
* fix(#5974): hide Show-earlier-steps pill when a capped transparent turn is collapsed (Fable UX gate)
Fable UX gate SHIP-WITH-UX-FIXES: the .transparent-earlier-steps pill wasn't in the
.assistant-turn[data-transparent-turn-collapsed=1] hide rule, so collapsing a capped
turn via the name-tag toggle left an orphan pill. Added it to the hide rule.
(i18n finding was already resolved — both pill keys present in all 15 locales w/
English fallback + show_earlier_step_one is live at ui.js:12918, not dead.)

* fix(dictation): preserve composer text when server STT commits
Dictation via the server STT path (MediaRecorder → POST /api/transcribe)
replaced any text already in the composer with the recognized transcript.
Browser SpeechRecognition worked correctly; only the async path was broken.
Root cause: the MediaRecorder.onstop handler calls _setRecording(false)
before awaiting _transcribeBlob's fetch. _setRecording(false) clears the
module-level _prefix. By the time the fetch resolves and _commitTranscript
runs, _prefix is '' — so the existing append logic collapses to
'just the transcript' and overwrites the textarea.
Browser SR dodged this because sr.onend builds the merged string into a
local variable before invoking _setRecording(false). Server STT is async
and could not use that pattern without help.
Fix:
- _commitTranscript accepts an optional prefixOverride parameter.
- _transcribeBlob snapshots _prefix into a local before the await.
- Pass the snapshot through to _commitTranscript.
Add a Settings → Voice → 'Append dictation to composer' toggle (default
ON) so users can opt into replace mode if they prefer the old buggy
behavior. The bug fix changes the default to append, matching what the
browser SR path always did.
i18n: new keys dictation_append_label / dictation_append_desc added to
all 14 locale blocks in static/i18n.js (English fallback where no native
translation exists).
Files: static/boot.js (+43/-7), static/index.html (+7), static/i18n.js (+30).
* fix(dictation): snapshot _prefix in onstop, not inside _transcribeBlob
First attempt at the append-mode fix took the snapshot inside
_transcribeBlob via 'const prefixSnapshot = _prefix'. By the time
_transcribeBlob runs (awaited from recorder.onstop), the sync block
above has already called _setRecording(false), which clears _prefix
inside _setRecording's !on branch. So the snapshot was always '' and
the append path fell through to the replace branch.
Move the snapshot into recorder.onstop, before _setRecording(false)
runs. Pass it as a parameter into _transcribeBlob so the call site
doesn't need to re-read the (now-cleared) module-level _prefix.
No behavior change for the browser-SR path — sr.onend still builds
the merged string into a local variable before invoking
_setRecording(false), and was already correct.
* fix(dictation): trim comments to fit test_590_recording_stops_before_transcribe
test_bugbatch_apr2026.py::test_590_recording_stops_before_transcribe slices
700 chars from 'recorder.onstop' and asserts that _setRecording(false)
comes before _sendRawAudio(/_transcribeBlob( inside that window. With
the verbose 6-line comment block from the previous fix, the actual
call sites landed at offsets 834/890 — past the 700-char window — so
the test's .find() returned -1 and the assertion failed mechanically.
Also: the verbose comment in _transcribeBlob contained the substring
'recorder.onstop', which made the test's first .find() land in the
comment instead of the actual handler, returning a wrong onstop_start.
Trim both comment blocks to single lines that fit within the test's
window and don't contain the literal 'recorder.onstop' substring.
Functional behavior unchanged from the previous fix; this is purely
a comment-shape adjustment to satisfy the brittle test.
* fix(tests): anchor test_590 on handler definition + widen window per review
The reviewer's fix-spec for test_590_recording_stops_before_transcribe
was more thorough than my single-shot comment trim:
(1) Reword the _transcribeBlob comment so it doesn't contain the
literal 'recorder.onstop' substring.
(2) Make the test robust to the handler growing: anchor on
'recorder.onstop=async' instead of 'recorder.onstop', and
widen the fixed 700-char window to 1200.
Applied both. With these changes the test passes regardless of how
much comment text gets added in or around the handler in the future.
Also restored the verbose explanatory comments in both locations
(the previous a7f84027 had trimmed them to fit the brittle 700-char
window — that workaround is no longer needed).
Backward-compat check: the new test logic also passes against
origin/master (verified locally), so this change doesn't regress
the existing green-master invariant.
* fix(dictation): preserve user's mid-transcription edits in async server STT
Greptile flagged this as a 4/5 concern on the append-mode branch:
the async server-STT path appended the dictated text to the stale
snapshot (`_prefix` captured at recording start), which clobbered
any keystrokes the user made during the ~1s transcription round-trip.
Before this fix, with append mode ON:
User typed before mic: 'Hello, '
User typed during STT: 'Hello, from K' (typed while waiting)
Dictated text: 'world'
Result: 'Hello, world' (lost 'from K')
After this fix:
User typed before mic: 'Hello, '
User typed during STT: 'Hello, from K'
Dictated text: 'world'
Result: 'Hello, from K world' (live state preserved)
The fix prefers live `ta.value` as the append base when the textarea
is non-empty, falling back to the `prefixOverride` snapshot only
when the textarea is genuinely empty (the original empty-composer path
where nothing to race with).
Adds a regression test in test_raw_audio_upload.py that asserts the
new `ta.value ||` fallback structure on `_commitTranscript`.
* fix(dictation): don't resurrect cleared text on async transcription resolve
Greptile P1 (re-reviewed at 20:07 UTC): the previous race fix
(`ta.value || (prefixOverride ?? _prefix)`) treats an empty
`ta.value` as falsy and falls back to the recording-start snapshot.
If the user explicitly clears the textarea while server transcription
is in flight, the cleared text reappears with the dictated text
appended — the user's intent is violated.
Fix: when prefixOverride IS passed (server-STT path), trust live
ta.value UNCONDITIONALLY — even when empty. The fallback to _prefix
only fires when no prefixOverride is given AND ta.value is empty,
which is purely defensive (no current caller hits this branch — the
browser-SR path commits inline in sr.onend without calling this
function).
Concrete repro:
User typed before mic: 'Hello, '
User clears textarea during STT
Dictated text: 'world'
OLD (0239bb4e) result: 'Hello, world' (cleared text resurrected)
NEW result: 'world' (user intent respected)
Greptile's suggested one-liner:
const base = prefixOverride !== undefined ? ta.value : (ta.value || _prefix);
Applied with expanded inline comment documenting the three concerns
this function balances (race, clear-during-STT, defensive fallback).

The Agent emits a non-retryable terminal error (e.g. HTTP 400 invalid model / no

run result/_last_error were empty for that abort path -> turn completion showed the
misleading no_response 'silent rate limit, try again' message. Capture the emitted
terminal error in _agent_status_callback and seed _last_err with it at completion so
_classify_provider_error reports the real cause (model_not_found / auth) with
actionable guidance. +regression test.

* fix(streaming): keep errored-turn assistant response visible (#5941)
An errored turn that produced assistant content (tool calls + reasoning)
folded that content into a collapsed worklog above the error card, so the
user read a lone error bubble as "nothing came back". The settled-scene
renderer collapsed the worklog unconditionally, never consulting the
turn terminal_state. Now an errored/failure terminal_state keeps the
worklog expanded by default (unless the user explicitly collapsed it),
while completed turns and genuinely-empty errored turns are unchanged.
Reported by @b3nw.
* fix(review): update #4970 brittle collapsed-expr assertion for #5941
test_issue4970_stream_done_shrink_regression asserted the literal
`collapsed:!keepSettledWorklogOpen` in _renderSettledAnchorSceneForMessage.
#5941 OR'd an errored-turn keep-open term into that expression
(`collapsed:!(keepSettledWorklogOpen||erroredWorklogKeepOpen)`), so the
substring no longer matched and the test failed in the full suite (the PR
updated its own touched tests but missed this pre-existing one).
Re-anchor to `collapsed:!(keepSettledWorklogOpen` — still guards #4970's
invariant (keepSettledWorklogOpen negates into the settled-render collapsed
flag) without pinning the exact term list. #4970 + #5941 suites green.
* fix(chat): honor explicit model pick on post-failure recovery send (#5924)
The onchange explicit-pick marker is single-shot: send() consumes it once.
submitEdit() and cmdRetry() truncated and called send() directly without
re-arming it, so the recovery send went out with explicit_model_pick=false and
the server's compatible-model resolution re-reverted a freshly-picked
cross-family model back to the failed/stale value (Facet 1). Facet 4 is the
same loop keeping the persisted model_provider pinned across fork/refresh.
Re-arm the pending explicit-pick marker from the current selector state
immediately before await send() in both recovery paths. Survives a second
consecutive recovery send. Normal send path and the #3737/#5731 server repair
guard are unchanged.
Reported by @b3nw.
* fix(#5924): gate recovery re-arm on genuine pick + session-race guards
Codex gate found 4 defects on the recovery send path; fixed all:
- /retry + edit-resubmit re-armed the explicit-pick marker UNCONDITIONALLY, forcing
explicit_model_pick even with no fresh pick (suppressed server compatible-model
resolution). Now gated on _recoveryPick (selector model differs from session's own
stored model), captured pre-await.
- session-switch races: added active-session guards after the retry GET await and the
edit truncate await so session A's recovery intent can't apply to session B.
- 3 new regression tests (gated re-arm, pre-await capture, post-await re-guard).
* fix(#5924) round-2: derive recovery pick from non-default session model, not inference
Codex round-2 CORE: the state-comparison predicate false-negatived an already-applied
pick (consumed marker → looks unchanged) and false-positived on provider inference
(@removed:mistral-large + null stored provider → inferred 'removed' → fake change).
Replace with _deliberateSessionModelPick(sid): reports {model,provider} only when the
session's OWN model is genuinely non-default vs window._defaultModel/_activeProvider —
inference-free + survives marker consumption. Both recovery paths + tests updated.
* fix(#5924) round-3: require known-default+owned-provider evidence + fire-time re-arm guard
Codex round-3: (1) _deliberateSessionModelPick still false-positived when the
profile default was unknown or the provider was only inferred — now requires a
session-OWNED provider AND a known window._defaultModel/_activeProvider, else
fails closed. (2) new same-session race: a model change DURING the recovery awaits
made the pre-await pick stale and clobbered a newer marker — new _reArmRecoveryPick
helper re-arms only if the current session model/provider still equals the captured
pick AND no different pending marker exists. Both recovery paths route through it.
* Release exp-v0.52.45: errored-turn response stays visible (#5950/#5941) + recovery honors model pick (#5949/#5924)
* fix: keep absoluteKeepCount capture before _recoveryPick in submitEdit
The #5924 _recoveryPick comment contained the word 'await', tripping the
pre-existing test_issue_edit_regenerate_absolute_keep_count regex (first \bawait\b
must come after the absoluteKeepCount capture). Reorder both synchronous pre-network
captures (absoluteKeepCount first) + reword the comment. No behavior change.

* fix(reasoning): stop date-stamped Claude 3.0 ids from reading reasoning-capable
_candidate_supports_reasoning captured a trailing date stamp as the minor
version so bare date-stamped Claude 3.0 ids like claude-3-opus-20240229
satisfied the major==3 and minor>=7 gate and wrongly surfaced reasoning-effort
controls. Cap the minor group to 1-2 digits with a (?!\d) guard so the date
stamp is not read as a minor version -- the same date-stamp defense
_is_pre_adaptive_anthropic already uses. Claude 3.0/3.5 now correctly report
no reasoning support; 3.7+ and 4.x (incl. date-stamped builds) are unaffected.
* test(reasoning): cover date-stamped Claude 3.0 not reasoning-capable
Locks the heuristic so claude-3-opus-20240229 (and sibling date-stamped 3.0
ids) report no reasoning support while 3.7+/4.x stay capable.
* fix(session): classify ACP adapter sessions into the CLI sidebar family
Gateway ACP adapter sessions (source='acp' in state.db — Zed, external
device bridges like a Rabbit R1) normalised to session_source 'other',
which fell through BOTH sidebar buckets: sidebar_source=webui skips the
state.db projection entirely (and ACP rows have no WebUI sidecar), while
sidebar_source=cli keeps only CLI-classified rows. Result: ACP
conversations were invisible and could never be clicked/imported.
Classify 'acp' as a CLI-family source, mirroring 'tui' (a local
interactive agent client): normalize_agent_session_source maps it to
session_source 'cli' with label 'ACP', is_cli_session_row recognises the
raw source, is_cli_session_row_visible keeps ended/untitled ACP rows
visible (they are always user-driven), and frontend _isCliSession
accepts raw === 'acp'. Zero-message ACP connect/reconnect stubs stay
hidden via the existing message-count guard. Claim policy is untouched:
ACP stays claimable like CLI/TUI per the documented 'future local agent
sources' allowance in _is_claimable_cli_source.
Rollback: revert this commit (pre-change file copies also in

* fix(transparent-stream): stop compact worklog from hijacking transparent live render (#5942, #5943)
Transparent Stream turns with tool calls alternated between the grouped compact
worklog summary ("Processed Ns") and the individual per-event row list (#5942), and
rebuilt every live row element each tick causing flicker (#5943, regression of #5367).
Root cause (bisected to the #5739 merge as a MERGE INTERACTION; #5700/#5739 timestamp
code is NOT causal): #5746 (final-answer-only mode) reworked renderLiveAnchorActivityScene
so a caller-supplied `requestedMode` (opts.mode) OVERRODE the user's active display mode.
Several live callers (appendLiveToolCard, ensureLiveWorklogShell, appendLiveCompressionCard,
appendLiveThinking, session restore in sessions.js) hardcode {mode:'compact_worklog'}.
Before #5746 the dispatch checked isTransparentStream() FIRST and ignored that hint; after,
those callers forced the compact grouped render onto a transparent turn. The compact pass
deletes the keyed transparent rows, so the next transparent tick's preserveByKey reuse
(the #5367 element-reuse fix) misses -> it rebuilds a grouped frame then tears it down and
recreates every row = alternating + flicker.
Fix (two layers, defence in depth):
1. renderLiveAnchorActivityScene: the USER's active chatActivityMode() is authoritative;
opts.mode is only a fallback when there is no usable active mode. A compact_worklog hint
can no longer override an active transparent_stream (restores the good-build precedence).
2. Removed the now-dead hardcoded {mode:'compact_worklog'} argument from all 8 current-view
live/restore call sites (ui.js x5, sessions.js x3) so intent is explicit and the helpers
resolve the active mode via chatActivityMode().
Compact_worklog folding, hide_all_activity suppression, the #5700/#5739 timestamp feature,
and #5860 lazy settled-worklog materialization are all unaffected.
Verified with the crown-jewel stream regression gate (private workspace): transparent_stream
goes rowElementSwaps 1105->0 and groupedFramesInTransparent 42->0; hide_all_activity clean.
Independently root-caused + fix-shape-confirmed by Codex adversarial review.
* fix(transparent-stream): also make projection mode active-authoritative in _renderLiveAnchorActivitySceneForStream (Fable advisory — kill latent requestedMode-wins drift)
* test(#5942/#5943): update brittle source-string assertions for removed {mode:'compact_worklog'} arg
test_live_to_final_anchor_visible_order.py asserted the literal presence of the now-removed
hardcoded compact-mode arg (in ensureLiveWorklogShell + the sessions.js restore path). The fix
correctly drops that arg so the helpers resolve the active display mode. Updated both to assert
the mode-free call / active-mode behavior instead of the removed literal. 63/63 in-file pass.
* revert wrapper projection-mode change (preserve #3820 explicit-mode contract)
The follow-up 8f654f0c0 made _renderLiveAnchorActivitySceneForStream projection-mode
active-authoritative, but that broke the #3820 contract (test_issue3820: explicit hide_all
honored when active=compact; hide_all-active always wins). Fable flagged this only as an
advisory/latent cleanup, NOT required — the real fix is the central renderLiveAnchorActivityScene
dispatch + call-site arg removal, both proven by the gate. Reverting the wrapper restores #3820

* test(#1426): make OpenRouter live-fetch test hermetic by mocking curated fetch
test_openrouter_group_uses_live_fetch_when_available failed deterministically
in any environment where the hermes_cli agent package is installed AND the
network is reachable, e.g.:
pytest "tests/test_issue1426_openrouter_free_tier_live_fetch.py::\
test_openrouter_group_uses_live_fetch_when_available" -p no:xdist
assert 'minimax/minimax-m2.5:free' in
['anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6', 'anthropic/claude-fable-5', ...]
Root cause — a gap in the test's mock, not a production regression:
get_available_models() populates the OpenRouter group from TWO live fetches:
(1) hermes_cli.models.fetch_openrouter_models() — the curated catalog.
This routes through hermes_cli's open_credentialed_url(), which builds
its own opener and calls .open(); it does NOT go through the
module-level urllib.request.urlopen symbol the test monkeypatches.
(2) a direct urllib.request.urlopen(".../v1/models") free-tier augment —
this one IS intercepted by the monkeypatch.
The test only patched urllib.request.urlopen, so fetch (1) hit the real
network and returned ~36 live curated models. Those filled the visible picker
cap (15), pushing the mocked free-tier entries (minimax/minimax-m2.5:free,
openrouter/elephant-alpha) into the group's extra_models bucket. The
assertion only inspected the visible `models` bucket, so it failed. In CI
(hermes_cli absent) fetch (1) raised ImportError, the curated base was empty,
the 2-3 mocked entries fit the visible cap, and the test passed — hence the
environment-dependent failure.
Production is correct: free-tier models DO surface in the picker (verified
they land in extra_models). The fix keeps the coverage intent intact:
- Mock fetch (1) too (as sibling tests already do) so the test is genuinely
hermetic — matching this module's docstring promise of "without depending
on real network access" — with a small curated base so live data, not the
fallback list, is exercised.
- Assert the free-tier IDs surface across BOTH picker surfaces (`models` +
`extra_models`), matching the sibling fail-closed and cap tests, so a
large curated base overflowing the visible cap no longer flips the result.
No production code changed.
* Release exp-v0.52.39: transparent-stream mode-precedence fix (#5946/#5942/#5943) + hermetic OpenRouter live-fetch test (#5947/#1426)

Adds regression coverage for the akay64 fix: _selectionIdCounter must reset to 0
when the last chip is removed (_removeNamedContextBlock) and on
_clearPendingSelections, so context chips restart at 'Context 1' after a
clear-all or session switch instead of continuing at 'Context N+1'.

The #5917 reorder (idle busy/stream reset moved before the visit-ack) shifted
code positions, so two pre-existing fixed-offset source-assertion tests
truncated: extend gateway_sse_reconnect_dedupe's loadSession _block end-anchor to
_mergePendingSessionMessage, and widen stale_stream_cleanup's 900->1400 char
window past the expanded comment. Behavior unchanged.
Gate finding: the idle-session S.busy/S.activeStreamId reset ran AFTER
_acknowledgeSessionVisit(), so the ack's sidebar repaint could inherit the
PREVIOUS session's busy state and manufacture a phantom unread/streaming
indicator on the freshly-loaded idle session. Moved the activeStreamId calc +
idle reset BEFORE the acknowledge call. Co-authored-by: neaucode-bot.
Gate found the plugin-routing branch ran AFTER the provider==config_provider
early-return, so when an ACTIVE plugin provider was also the configured default,
model_with_provider_context returned a bare model and dropped the '@plugin:'
hint -> wrong backend. Moved the _is_plugin_model_provider() branch above the
config_provider passthrough. Regression test (GMI + anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
as the active plugin+configured provider) added. Co-authored-by: alexfoxtm.
Gate found the unconditional post-load _acknowledgeSessionVisit() cleared a
hidden-tab completion's unread marker: a completion landing while
_ensureMessagesLoaded() is in flight AND the tab then goes hidden is correctly
marked unread, but the final re-ack wiped it. Gate the re-ack on
_isSessionActivelyViewedForList(sid) so only an actively-viewed session clears.
Regression test added. Co-authored-by: neaucode-bot.
Maintainer call (2026-07-11): 'set max when available, don't when not.' Two layers:
- resolve_model_reasoning_efforts() now uniformly passes its sourced list through
the provider ceiling filter (preserving any 'none' sentinel), so the UI dropdown
offers 'max' ONLY for models whose native ladder genuinely includes it (adaptive
Claude 4.6+, DeepSeek) and hides it everywhere it would be rejected/mishandled
(GPT-5, o-series, Gemini, legacy/cloud-hosted Claude, unknown providers).
- coerce_reasoning_effort_for_model() default-denies a stale/CLI 'max' to xhigh on
an UNRECOGNIZED provider (empty capability list) so it can never 400, while a
RECOGNIZED reasoning provider whose exact model id we couldn't resolve (e.g.
claude-opus-latest) still preserves 'max'. All other levels keep #3505
preserve-verbatim. New _provider_known_reasoning_capable helper + regression tests.

Re-gate found 2 issues in the prior fix: (1) [CORE] uploadPendingFiles still
defaulted clearPending=true and re-cleared S.pendingFiles after the await,
wiping any attachment staged during the upload window — pass clearPending:false
since we already detached the snapshot. (2) [SILENT] converting File objects to
name strings broke draft-restore signature matching ({value:name} vs canonical
{name,path,size,type}) — preserve the file objects with [..._submittedFiles].
Re-gate found 'max' still reached provider adapters that reject/mis-handle it on
lanes beyond openai-codex/native: direct openai + openai-api + azure-foundry
GPT-5 (APIs top out at xhigh), and Azure-Foundry/Bedrock-hosted LEGACY Claude
(the pre-adaptive classifier only matched native Anthropic provider names, so max
survived to the 8k manual-thinking budget). Extended the GPT-5/o-series ceiling
to all OpenAI-family lanes and the pre-adaptive-Claude ceiling to azure/bedrock/
vertex lanes (gated on 'claude' in the model id so non-Claude models on those
lanes are untouched). Regression tests for both lanes.
