fix(routing): source capability evidence from explicit catalog provenance#1799lidge-jun wants to merge 16 commits into

…antigravity tri-state)
…ance (#1796) candidateCapabilityEvidence() read the cached Codex catalog through a filter expecting `id`/`provider`/`contextWindow`/`inputModalities`, while the catalog writer emits `slug`/`context_window`/`input_modalities`. Every row was discarded -- 17 of 17 on a live install -- so the catalog branch of the evidence chain was dead code. It stayed invisible because the catalog is the fourth fallback: any provider declaring inline capability maps is answered earlier. A model registered through `ocx models add` has no such maps, so it routed as image-blind and context-unknown. Reading the written fields directly would have been wrong. ensureStrictCatalogFields synthesizes `input_modalities: ["text"]` and `context_window: 128000` so Codex's strict parser accepts the file, so their presence cannot distinguish an assertion from a placeholder, and reading them would turn unknown into a confident `image: false` -- the opposite of this module's "unknown is not zero" contract. Instead applyCatalogModelMetadata now stamps `opencodex_capability_provenance` carrying only values a real source asserted, plus exact provider/model_id, and capability.ts reads that block and nothing else. Two real sources exist and both are consulted: the CatalogModel and the generated jawcode metadata table, whose lookup is now exported from parsing.ts so the two callers cannot drift. The generated context is capped the same way applyCatalogMetadata caps it. Three secondary defects fixed along the way: - The adapter tool fallback was gated on `catalogRow === undefined`, which was only safe while the lookup never matched. Repairing the lookup would have silently revoked `tools: true` for every openai-chat and anthropic candidate. - Synthesized combo rows (a generic 128k/text fallback) are excluded from the stamp; their values are placeholders, not assertions. - parseAntigravityAvailableModels collapsed an absent `supportsImages` into `["text"]`, making "nobody said" indistinguishable from "the provider said no". The tri-state is restored; the strict catalog still gets its default downstream. Evidence: the new test fails 5/10 without the fix and passes 10/10 with it. End to end, with the lidge provider's inline maps removed so the catalog is the only source, evidence goes from `{tools:true}` to `{contextWindow:262144, image:true, tools:true}`. Plan and eight-round audit: devlog/_plan/260816_local_model_capability_and_plugin_routing/
A llama.cpp server reports its context under `meta.n_ctx` (what the server was started with) and `meta.n_ctx_train` (the model's trained maximum). Neither was in the recognized context list, so a correct local server produced no context evidence at all. Both are appended LAST in the precedence chain, so any provider already supplying a recognized field keeps its current behavior. `n_ctx` is preferred over `n_ctx_train` because routing must not promise a window the running server will refuse. The image half of #1797 is deliberately NOT fixed here. The `multimodal` token lives in the Ollama-style `models[]` array while extractProviderModelItems reads only `data[]` envelopes, and its comment is explicit that a stray `models` key must not be trusted. Even a hand-merged item would stay image-unknown, because `multimodal` is not among the recognized capability strings. Both halves need an identity-safe join and a capability mapping, which is its own audited change. The fourth test characterizes that gap so the follow-up has a live witness. Verified: tests 1, 2 and 4 fail without this change and pass with it; test 3 passes either way and guards the precedence ordering.

Five threads, all accepted: - Move the browser/Computer Use plugin routing guidance out of the untracked host file and into the tracked AGENTS_INSTALL.md. Listing ~/.codex/AGENTS.md as shipped was wrong: it is not in the PR and cannot be reproduced from a clone. The host copy is now recorded as host-only verification. - Mark the first provenance snippet in 010 as superseded and add one authoritative "Final stamp algorithm" section carrying the combo guard, the generated-metadata fallback, and the context cap, verbatim from effort.ts. Three separate audit rounds amended that snippet; leaving the original inline invited implementing from the wrong one. - Correct the 004 ledger scope from six rounds to eight, matching the rounds it actually records. - Renumber the 020 accept criteria, which restarted at 2 and repeated 3. - Add console language tags to the two transcript fences (MD040).

- Criterion 5 in 020 claimed the full suite was green. It was not: the recorded run has seven GUI dependency failures. Restated to the honest bar - the targeted suites pass, the full run carries only documented environment failures, and no failure is attributable to this change. - 030 still selected ~/.codex/AGENTS.md as the placement and verified it there, contradicting the correction already recorded in 040. Marked the placement superseded and pointed every row at the tracked AGENTS_INSTALL.md. - Backticked the bare PR references in the triage doc (MD018).

Summary
Routing capability evidence never reached the cached Codex catalog.
cachedCatalogModels()filtered rows onid/providerand readcontextWindow/inputModalities, while the catalog writer emitsslug/context_window/input_modalities. Every row was discarded — 17 of 17 on a live install — so that whole branch of the evidence chain was dead code.It stayed invisible because the catalog is the fourth fallback: any provider declaring inline capability maps is answered by an earlier branch. A model registered through
ocx models addhas no such maps, so it routed as image-blind and context-unknown even though the CLI, the config, and the catalog file all showed the correct values. That is how a local llama.cpp model ended up unable to drive image-dependent work.Reading the written fields directly would have been the wrong fix.
ensureStrictCatalogFields()synthesizesinput_modalities: ["text"]andcontext_window: 128000so Codex's strict parser accepts the file (src/codex/catalog/parsing.ts:315,328). Their presence therefore cannot distinguish a provider assertion from a placeholder, and reading them would turn unknown into a confidentimage: falseand a fabricated128000— the opposite of the module's stated "unknown is not zero" contract.Instead
applyCatalogModelMetadata()now stampsopencodex_capability_provenance, carrying only values a real source asserted plus the exactprovider/model_id, andcapability.tsreads that block and nothing else. Two real sources exist and both are consulted: theCatalogModeland the generated jawcode metadata table, whose lookup is now exported fromparsing.tsso the two callers cannot drift. Generated context is capped exactly asapplyCatalogMetadatacaps it.Three further defects surfaced during review and are fixed here:
catalogRow === undefined. That was only safe while the lookup never matched anything. Repairing the lookup would have silently revokedtools: truefor everyopenai-chatandanthropiccandidate. The gate is removed; the adapter protocol is positive evidence on its own.parseAntigravityAvailableModelscollapsed an absentsupportsImagesinto["text"], making "nobody said" indistinguishable from "the provider said no". The tri-state is restored; the strict catalog still receives its compatibility default downstream.Separately,
catalogHintsFromModelsApiItem()now reads llama.cpp'smeta.n_ctx/meta.n_ctx_trainas context sources, appended last so no provider already supplying a recognized field changes behavior.n_ctxwins overn_ctx_trainbecause routing must not promise a window the running server will refuse.Closes #1796. The image half of #1797 is deliberately not fixed here and is characterized by a test: the
multimodaltoken lives in the Ollama-stylemodels[]array whileextractProviderModelItemsreads onlydata[]envelopes, and even a merged item would stay image-unknown becausemultimodalis not a recognized capability string. Both halves need an identity-safe join plus a capability mapping, which is its own audited change.Verification
Activation grounding — the new tests were run against the tree without the fix to prove they observe the defect:
tests/routing-capability-catalog.test.tstests/catalog-llamacpp-capabilities.test.tsIn the llama.cpp suite the one test that passes either way is the precedence guard (a recognized context field must still beat
meta); it protects the ordering rather than proving this change.End to end, with the provider's inline maps removed so the catalog is the only evidence source — the exact state of a user who only ran
ocx models add:Commands run:
bun x tsc --noEmit— exit 0.bun run test tests/routing-capability-catalog.test.ts tests/catalog-llamacpp-capabilities.test.ts tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts— 27 pass, 0 fail. The boundary test matters becausecapability.tsis reachable fromsrc/router.ts; no new import was added.bun run privacy:scan— passed.Cannot find package 'react'/react/jsx-dev-runtimeingui/— the scratch clone has no GUI dependencies installed. They reproduce identically on an unmodifieddevcheckout and none touch routing, catalog, or Antigravity. Both new suites passed there.Plan, reproduction, and the full audit record live in
devlog/_plan/260816_local_model_capability_and_plugin_routing/. The design went through eight adversarial review rounds with three independent reviewers; 22 findings, all folded. Four would have shipped defects, including two that the existing test suite could not have caught because no test ever calledcandidateCapabilityEvidence()against a real catalog file.Checklist
