The Codex backend served five `visibility=list` + `supported_in_api`
models on 2026-09-21: `gpt-6-astra` ahead of `gpt-5.6-sol/terra/luna`
and `gpt-5.5`. Astra carries context 272000 and efforts
low/medium/high/xhigh/max, default medium; the `ultra` tier it also
advertises has no kigi level and is left out. `gpt-reserve` and
`codex-auto-review` stay hidden.
Inference checked against the live backend: `POST
/backend-api/codex/responses` with `model: gpt-6-astra` and the codex
`User-Agent` kigi sends answers 200 and streams, so the model works on
the compiled-in path.
Reverts c61977c. The live listing needed no codex CLI on the user's
machine — kigi issued the request itself and `client_version` was a
compiled-in string — but the project keeps the catalog in the binary, so
the fetch path, the `OpenaiCodex` listing dialect, its parser and the
pinned client version are gone again, and the codex `User-Agent` returns
to its previous value.
The models.dev provider rename `kimi-for-coding` → `kimi-code-plan-cn`
rode in the same commit and stays: the regenerated snapshot ships under
the new id.
`xai` and `openai` carry `restrict_to_enriched`, so a live listing id the
enrichment catalog does not know is dropped. The bundled snapshot knew
neither `grok-4.7` nor `gpt-6-astra`, which left both invisible offline
and until the 24h models.dev refresh landed.
Regeneration also tripped the generator's fail-fast: models.dev renamed
the Kimi coding provider. `kimi-for-coding` is now `kimi-code-plan-cn`
(api.kimi.com — kigi's endpoint), with `kimi-code-plan-global` the
api.kimi.ai twin; the model set is unchanged. Both registry rows, the
generator target and the two snapshot lookups follow the new id, and the
cache `keep_set` guard invalidates any cache filtered under the old one.
The ChatGPT Codex catalog was compiled in: four models read once from the
Codex CLI cache. The backend moved on — `gpt-6-astra` shipped, and
`gpt-5.3-codex-spark` left — so the picker showed a table that no longer
matched the account.
`GET https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models?client_version=<v>`
serves that table. Verified against a live ChatGPT account: the OAuth
Bearer alone returns 200, the query is required (400 without it), and the
backend gates the catalog on it — `0.104.0` answers with
`codex-auto-review` alone, `0.150.0` omits `gpt-6-astra`, `0.155.1`
serves the full set. `CODEX_CLIENT_VERSION` pins the current upstream
release (openai/codex rust-v0.155.1) and the codex `User-Agent` now
derives from it, so the two can never drift.
`ListingDialect::OpenaiCodex` + `parse_openai_codex_listing` keep the
`visibility == "list" && supported_in_api` models and carry the wire
context window and per-model reasoning levels; `hardcoded_catalog` and
its short-circuit in the fetch path are gone. The catalog advertises an
`ultra` tier kigi has no level for — `think_efforts_to_options` drops it
with a warning, as it does any unknown token.
`e2e_default_model_with_session_routes_to_proxy` and
`e2e_duplicate_model_field_both_entries_survive` assert the default
model's base URL. They were not serial and read `KIGI_CODE_BASE_URL`
through `EndpointsConfig`, while two serial tests (auth_method.rs,
models_fetch.rs) point that variable at wiremock. When the runs
overlapped, the base URL came back as the wiremock URI: the Linux suite
failed in 2 of 13 full runs. Presetting the variable fails both tests
every time, on v0.1.15 as well.
Both tests are now `#[serial]` and unset the variable for their scope,
the same cure `e2e_enterprise_endpoints_only_no_model_override` got for
the moonshot variable. With the variable preset they pass.
A project-scoped agent definition from an untrusted repository could
declare inline stdio mcpServers and the child session started that
command, while inline hooks on the same definition were already gated on
folder trust. The mcpServers list now uses the same gate.
By-name agent lookup joined the requested name onto each searched
directory, so a name carrying a separator or ".." resolved a file outside
that directory under its trust scope; both lookup entry points now reject
any name that is not a single path component.
Ported from upstream (grok-build subagent/handle_request.rs mcpServers
gate), extended with the name guard.

A completed child parked forever behind a parent that never serviced its
command channel, or behind its own frozen chat-state actor, leaking the
child session thread, fs watchers and fds. Every await in the completion
path that rides another actor is now bounded: child chat-state reads
degrade to their fallbacks after 10 s, the usage-fold and not-applied acks
give up after 30 s (an unacked mark falls back to the coordinator's sticky
mark), list_tasks and reparent_notifications are bounded, and the
post-Shutdown worktree snapshot is bounded while removal is awaited in
full so no detached deletion can race a resume.
Ported from upstream 1.0.14 (grok-build subagent/handle_request.rs
PARENT_ACK_TIMEOUT / child_actor_query), reshaped without the drain-budget
const assert.

The slug-match step treated an entry whose api_backend equals the default
as unset and overwrote it with a same-slug sibling's backend, so
`api_backend = "chat_completions"` silently became messages/responses.
Config keys whose override sets api_backend are recorded and skipped by
the donor step; an unset backend still inherits.
Ported from upstream 1.0.22 (grok-build agent/config.rs
explicit_api_backend_keys).

The persistence actor acked FlushAndAck unconditionally after writing its
pending merged notification: nothing was fsynced and every storage failure
was only warn-logged, so persist_ack, the reconnect flush and history
repair treated lost writes as persisted.
The barrier now writes the pending notification, reports the first storage
failure latched since the last barrier (every actor arm latches), and
fsyncs the whole session directory tree (files, directories, deletions).
Session directories are created durably (init and fork copy), and the
shared summary writer syncs its staged bytes before publishing and the
parent afterwards, so a concurrent /rename cannot publish unsynced bytes
over a synced summary.json. FlushComplete and the persist_ack, history
repair and end-of-turn callers propagate the io::Result; CopyFile fails on
a sync error but keeps the latch for the barrier.
Ported from upstream 1.0.1x (grok-build persistence.rs pending_write_error
+ durable storage helpers), reshaped without the dirty-file set.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01RUqV8HVGXcAETyYbZ2tPQ4
Edit/Read/Grep rules matched only the raw argument string, so a workspace
symlink (or a quoted, `~`, `./`, `..`, or absolute spelling) reached a
denied file. The policy now resolves the path exactly as the tools do
(sanitize, expand `~`, display-cwd remap, join to the requesting session's
cwd), follows symlinks parent-first, and re-checks deny/ask rules on the
opened path and its target as absolute, `./`-relative and relative
spellings. Escalation only: no allow is granted through a link. A link
that cannot be followed forces a prompt that survives YOLO, auto mode and
the session edit grant, with event reason `unresolved_link`.
Permission requests now carry the requesting tool's cwd and display cwd
so a child worktree session sharing its parent's handle is checked where
it runs.
Ported from upstream 1.0.14 (grok-build permission/policy.rs symlink
re-check), reshaped for Kigi's lexical rule matcher.

After `/model`, the header kept the previous model's window ("15K /
1.0M" on a 262K model) until the next turn or a restart. The pager
caches the window inside its context snapshot (streaming `totalTokens`
updates refresh it from the catalog) and nothing refreshed the cache
when the session's model changed. Comparing cached numbers against
catalog windows cannot tell a catalog-derived total from a shell
effective limit (KIGI_DEBUG_CONTEXT_WINDOW, header upgrades), so the
shell, which installs the effective window, now reports it:
- kigi-shell: `handle_set_session_model` returns the installed window;
`model_switch::apply` stamps it as `totalContextTokens` in the
`session/set_model` response meta and carries it on the
`ModelChanged` broadcast (`context_window`, serde-default: old pagers
ignore it, old leaders omit it). The response meta previously
serialized the actor's inner `Result` and reported success on an
actor failure; that error now propagates.
- kigi-tui: `Effect::SwitchModel` reads the meta; `SwitchModelComplete`
carries `Ok(Option<u64>)`; the completion handler and the follower
`ModelChanged` arm call `AgentView::apply_context_window`, which
re-derives the snapshot (pct, free tokens) and reports whether it
changed so a follower redraws on a window-only change.
- Tests: the bare `/model <name>` dispatch path asserts the snapshot and
the drawn header; follower with/without the field; same-model new
window redraw; actor returns the window; serde round trip.

The GitHub account is restored, so github.com/ZacharyZhang-NY/Kigi-CLI is
the canonical repo again. Reverse the 2026-08 Gitea migration:
- .github/workflows/{release,warm-cache}.yml: restore the GitHub-hosted
pipeline dropped in 3e1652c, unchanged — hosted runners, rust-cache,
softprops release with every asset attached atomically.
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml: retire the Gitea edition (the runners are
being deregistered; git.zacharyzhang.com keeps the v0.1.12/v0.1.13
releases for old clients).
- kigi-env: update_base_url now defaults to the GitHub Releases API. The
updater already speaks GitHub wire format and sends a User-Agent; v0.1.14
is published to BOTH forges with identical assets so pre-0.1.14 installs
polling Gitea self-update onto the GitHub channel.
- install.sh / install.ps1: resolve releases from api.github.com.
- feedback, /docs, SECURITY.md, frontend worker + site: repo, issues and
raw-file links point at github.com / raw.githubusercontent.com.
- docs/RELEASE.md: GitHub edition of the checklist; Gitea runner sections
retired.
- version: 0.1.13 -> 0.1.14 (the cross-forge transition release).

The full-workspace gates had never run on this platform: collapsible
ifs in the Windows shell probe, a same-type cast in the crash handler,
an unused AsRawHandle import, and the sandbox smoke-test example
building its unix-only body (libc, kernel enforcement) unconditionally.
The example now stubs main off-unix; formatting reflow from cargo fmt.

Port of upstream grok-build 0.2.113/0.2.114 fixes, extended to Kigi's
startup order.
- kigi-tty-utils runtime module: worker-cap policy (8 max) — tokio's
per-core default pins 100+ thread slots on many-core shared hosts
against RLIMIT_NPROC / pids.max, and later spawns die with EAGAIN.
- kigi-bin builds the main runtime with capped workers and reports an
out-of-threads host with a diagnostic + exit(1) instead of a panic.
- The pre-runtime optimization threads (HTTP warmup, early model
prefetch) spawn recoverably and degrade — their panic would have
preempted the runtime's own diagnostic.
- The per-session actor thread and its runtime report spawn/build
failure through the existing acp::Error / AgentBuildError boundaries
(new RuntimeBuild variant) instead of panicking the agent host.
- fsnotify's watcher thread spawn maps into FsNotifyError::WatcherStart
so callers degrade instead of crashing.

Port of upstream grok-build 1.0.1 (landed upstream 2026-08-06). The
coordinator fire-and-forgot every spawn, so a wide fan-out (graph
waves, swarm bursts, model-driven Task storms) could exhaust file
descriptors.
- kigi-tools task/admission: SubagentLimits — 32 concurrent per session
by default (KIGI_MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBAGENTS), queue|fail behavior
(KIGI_SUBAGENT_LIMIT_BEHAVIOR), zero clamped to 1, read once at the
composition root; parse_positive_env helper.
- Each parent session gets one spawn semaphore (map entries live for
the process so a resumed session shares its predecessor's limit);
handle_subagent_request holds an owned permit for the whole child
run — queue awaits FIFO with a unified-log notice at saturation,
fail routes through send_pre_spawn_failure. After a queued wait, a
closed parent command channel (teardown) fails the spawn instead of
running against a dead parent.

Port of upstream grok-build 0.2.105 + 0.2.118.
- CompactionToolChoice (auto default | none), resolved env
KIGI_COMPACTION_TOOL_CHOICE > [features].compaction_tool_choice >
remote settings. Some OpenAI-compatible servers reject
tool_choice:"none" with tools attached, failing every long-session
compaction; auto keeps them working (the summarization prompt already
forbids tool use). Threaded from agent + subagent spawn through
CompactionConfig into generate_session_compact; the Responses gate
counts hosted tools too, so a hosted-only request still carries the
configured choice.
- is_context_length_error recognizes the "current message ... exceeds
budget" phrasing, so that overflow is Fatal instead of burning the
retry budget on a deterministic failure.

Port of upstream grok-build 0.2.103. session/prompt runs an async intake
preamble before enqueueing SessionCommand::Prompt on the actor mailbox; a
concurrent cancel could enqueue Cancel first, land on an idle actor as a
no-op, and the prompt then started a turn nothing would ever cancel.
The per-session prompt-intake lock becomes the dispatch lock: prompt()
holds it across intake as before, and cancel() now holds it around its
Cancel send, so a cancel orders behind the prompt it targets. Regression
test ported verbatim (unix-only harness, like its siblings).

The canonical repo is git.zacharyzhang.com now, so every URL a user can
actually reach had to move with it.
Self-updater: `PRODUCTION_ENDPOINTS.update_base_url` targets Gitea's
`/api/v1/repos/.../releases`, which serves the same wire format GitHub's
releases API did — `Release`/asset deserialisation is unchanged. The alpha
channel requests `?per_page=30&limit=30` because GitHub reads the page size
from `per_page` and Gitea from `limit`, and each ignores the other's, so one
URL stays correct on either.
Installers: same API base, and the documented one-liners become
`https://kigicli.dev/install.{sh,ps1}`. That domain's Worker proxies both
files from Gitea raw `main`, so the published install command survives any
future forge move without being reprinted everywhere. install.ps1 also drops
the GitHub-specific `Accept: application/vnd.github+json`.
Everything else user-facing: `/feedback` and the shell's feedback fallback
point at the Gitea issue tracker, `/docs` at the Gitea-rendered README, and
web_fetch's User-Agent at kigicli.dev. SECURITY.md now routes reports to the
issue tracker with a warning to withhold exploitable detail, because Gitea
has no equivalent of GitHub's private vulnerability reporting. Comments
naming `.github/workflows/release.yml` name `.gitea/` now.
Tests assert against these constants rather than literal URLs, so they
follow automatically; the one URL-shape assertion (production endpoints are
https) still holds.

The hardcoded Codex catalog advertised `ultra` for gpt-5.6-sol and
gpt-5.6-terra, so selecting it sent `reasoning.effort = "ultra"` and the
Responses endpoint answered 400 with its real menu, which ends at `max`.
The tier was kigi's invention: the enum documented it as codex-only, the
catalog was its only producer, and the upstream model snapshot never
listed it. Removing the variant as well as the catalog entries means
`/effort ultra` is rejected at the TUI instead of parsing and failing on
the wire; a persisted `ultra` degrades to the model default through
`lenient_reasoning_effort_opt`, as designed for vocabulary changes.
The `agent_swarm` tool works with the mode off; what the mode adds is the
doctrine — decompose finely, give every member a disjoint scope, do not
do the work yourself. `/swarm`, `/swarm on|off`, `/swarm <task>`, gated
on the tool actually being in the toolset.
Two triggers, not upstream's three. Upstream's `tool` trigger exists so
invoking the tool makes the doctrine appear; kigi's tool carries its own
description and works with the mode off, so that trigger would add a
state only the tool can reach. `Manual` persists until switched off,
`Task` expires at turn end — both are real user intents.
Load-bearing decisions, each from a defect found in review:
- Expiry is a DROP guard, not a post-loop call. A user interrupt aborts
the turn future rather than cancelling it, so post-loop code never
runs; three `?` paths skip it too. Either way a `/swarm <task>` mode
would leak into the next, unrelated prompt.
- `enter` is a total no-op while armed, so the `/swarm <task>` shorthand
cannot downgrade a standing `/swarm on` into a per-turn mode that then
disarms itself. This matches upstream; the first cut diverged, and the
test asserting the divergence was inverted with the fix.
- An explicit `/swarm off` retracts UNCONDITIONALLY. The doctrine rides
the conversation and so survives a resume, a fork and a compaction that
an in-memory flag does not; trusting the flag left a session reading
"off" with the instruction still steering and no way to clear it. That
also retires the `reminder_live` field, whose doc comment claimed to
know something the code cannot.
- The mode is deliberately NOT persisted, unlike /goal and /graph: those
strand real work when lost, this is a prompt hint whose recovery is
retyping one command. Recorded in AGENTS.md so the omission reads as a
decision, not a gap.
- The pre-session gate is `subagents_enabled`, not a hardcoded `true`:
the builder strips `agent_swarm` wherever it strips `task`, and
advertising it then offers a menu entry that resolves to literal text.
- The exit reminder is as emphatic as the doctrine it revokes; a single
weak clause is the likelier of the two to be summarised away.
The doctrine rides the existing `push_system_reminder` channel rather
than a second injection path of its own.
Ports kimi-code's AgentSwarm: a `prompt_template` containing `{{item}}`
expanded over an `items` list into up to 128 subagents, run to completion
and returned as one aggregate. Kigi already exceeds upstream on planning,
verification, isolation and merge via /graph; what it lacked was cheap
immediate fan-out. Entirely client-side — no new backend surface.
The engine is three pure pieces plus a runner: `plan` validates and
expands (every fault reported before a single member starts — a
half-launched swarm is expensive to unwind), `schedule` is the launch
ramp as testable arithmetic, `run` drives it against the existing
`SubagentBackend`. Reuses the single-spawn coordinator rather than
inventing a batch API.
Load-bearing decisions, each the result of a defect found in review:
- `backgrounded` is its own outcome. A member that outlives the 600s
foreground budget is detached by the coordinator and KEEPS RUNNING;
reporting it as failed invites the model to relaunch its item, putting
a second agent on the same files. It is never offered for resume.
- `InFlightGuard` cancels live members on Drop. Send-now cancels the turn
WITHOUT cancelling subagents and aborts the task; the dropped receivers
read as "parent gone" and each child re-attaches itself. There is no
cooperative path to use instead — `Cancellation` is constructed nowhere
in the tree — so Drop is the only seam that fires.
- Retries and wall clock are both bounded. The swarm blocks the caller's
turn, so every wait needs a ceiling it cannot argue past; stragglers at
the deadline are reported as still-running, with their ids.
- `ToolKind::AgentSwarm` is its own variant: `TemplateRenderer`'s
`by_kind` map holds one tool name per kind, so sharing `Task` would
silently redirect `${{ tools.by_kind.task }}` in other tools' prompts.
- An explicitly requested model that cannot be validated is refused, as
the task tool already does — one loud error beats `items.len()` quiet
ones. Depth stays capped at 1: upstream's unlimited nesting is a
hazard, not a feature.
- `SubagentResult.rate_limited` is classified where the typed ACP error
code is still in hand; a scheduler re-deriving it from a formatted
string would stop adapting the day the wording changed.
- Aggregate output is clamped per member (head+tail, loss stated):
native tool output is truncated nowhere downstream.
42 agent_swarm tests. The fake backend awaits, so the concurrency and
ordering assertions can actually fail; the cap test also proves the
fixture can exceed the cap.
Sweep every first-party crate source (1956 .rs files) to the project comment
guidelines: delete redundant restatements, decorative banners, change
narration, and end-of-line comments; keep and tighten the crucial ones
(invariants, bug rationale, SAFETY blocks, ported-source attribution).
No functional code changed. Every edit is proven comment-only against the
prior tree by a comment-stripping lexer (string/char/raw-string aware) plus a
separate doctest-fence check. Where removing a comment made rustfmt or clippy
want to re-lay-out adjacent code, the minimal triggering comment is restored so
code tokens stay byte-identical.
Gates green: cargo fmt --all --check (0 diffs), cargo check and cargo clippy
--workspace --all-targets (0 warnings).
Adds scripts/check_codegen_comment_guidelines.py — the enforcement gate for
these guidelines (flags banners, end-of-line comments, change narration, and
commented-out code).
C1 (decision): custom/BYOK ChatCompletions entries defaulted to the Kimi
dialect, leaking Kimi-specific body mutations (thinking:{…} control,
replayed reasoning_content, schema rewrites) to arbitrary third-party
OpenAI-compatible servers. The default is now Passthrough (vanilla
OpenAI semantics), with ONE exception mirroring Pi's base-url quirk
sniffing: entries pointed at the house/Kimi coding endpoint keep the
Kimi dialect. Registry platforms are unaffected (all declare
explicitly).
C2 (Pi mistral-conversations normalizer): Mistral requires tool-call ids
of EXACTLY nine [a-zA-Z0-9] chars; even same-session synthesized UUIDs
violate it. New ChatCompat::Mistral = StrictOpenAi behavior + the
normalizer — strip non-alphanumerics, keep exact-9 ids, else FNV-1a →
base36 (build-stable, deterministic across requests for prefix-cache
stability) with collision retry; ONE map covers tool_calls[].id and
tool_call_id so pairing survives. The mistral registry row and the
persisted 'mistral' serde value both resolve to it (pre-rename Mistral
sessions gain the contract automatically); Cerebras/NVIDIA stay on
StrictOpenAi untouched.
Verified: models+sampling-types+sampler+chat-state+shell all green,
clippy clean.
The README always shipped graph engineering enabled; the enablement was
delegated to installer env plumbing that diverged per platform:
install.sh exported KIGI_GRAPH=1 into shell rc (worked), install.ps1
wrote the User registry variable — which running Windows terminals (and
new tabs of an open Windows Terminal) never pick up, so /graph was
'missing on Windows' despite a successful install.
With resolve_graph() defaulting true in the binary (e53a66d), the env
writes are redundant complexity: drop them from both installers, keep
KIGI_GRAPH=0 as the documented opt-out (env still beats the default),
and correct the flag comment to tell this story instead of a
'gray release' one. Both scripts syntax-checked (sh -n / pwsh parser).
Installers are served from main (raw.githubusercontent), so this takes
effect for all new installs immediately — no retag needed; the running
v0.1.5 build already carries the binary-default fix.
resolve_graph() read only the KIGI_GRAPH env var with default(false)
(plan.md G0 gate), so /graph existed solely on machines whose environment
exported the dev flag — which presented as '/graph is missing on
Windows'. There was never any platform-conditional code: the Mac worked
because the dev env var was set there.
Default is now true (matching /goal's shipped state); KIGI_GRAPH=0
remains the off-switch, and availability still requires the goal harness
(BuiltinGate::Graph). AGENTS.md updated; new test pins fresh-install-on
plus env-zero-off.
Verified: kigi-shell 5262 + kigi-tui 6874 tests green, clippy clean.
Root cause of 'model+effort switch works on Mac, not on Windows': the
switch APPLIES in-session (the dispatch/apply chain is platform-identical,
verified adversarially) but its persistence never sticks on Windows.
Every tmp+rename atomic write except auth/storage.rs committed with a
bare fs::rename, and Windows MoveFileExW(REPLACE_EXISTING) fails with a
sharing violation whenever AV/search-indexer/cloud-sync transiently holds
the destination open. Consequences: [models].default never persisted
(next launch = original model), the session summary's current model never
persisted (resume = original model), and the models cache went silently
stale (all its write errors were swallowed).
- New kigi_shell_base::util::fs::replace_file — THE commit step for
tmp+rename: plain rename on Unix; on Windows delete-first + two short
backoffs (the pattern auth/storage.rs shipped first), tmp cleaned on
failure, error always returned. Windows branch type-checked against
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.
- Adopted at every replace site: config.toml (save_config /
atomic_write_string / mcp saves), models cache (plus unique tmp
suffixes and tracing::warn on failure — writes were fully silent),
session storage (summary/current-model, jsonl, plan/signals/
announcement/goal/graph state), auth.json, active-sessions registry,
prompt history, claude/kimi import, campaigns state, goal artifacts.
Directory-move renames (worktree pool, corrupt-file backups) keep
plain rename — their destinations don't pre-exist.
Verified: kigi-shell + kigi-shell-base 5318 tests green, clippy clean,
msvc-target check of the new cfg(windows) code clean.
The shell stamps meta.provider (platform display name via
parse_managed_model_key) on every managed {platform}/{model} catalog
entry in to_acp_model_info; user-defined [model.*] entries stay
provider-less. The /model dropdown surfaces it in the description column
(a model's own description still wins), so the picker reads as 'choose a
model from your connected providers'.
Verified: kigi-shell 5261 + kigi-tui 6873 tests green, clippy clean.
Root cause of 'connected Claude, still shows Kimi / unknown model': every
fetch-plan decision consulted only the primary (Kimi) session and API keys
— never the stored subscription-OAuth sessions:
- on_auth_changed's wipe guard: a claude-pro-max-only login satisfied
'no session, no keys' → catalog wiped, early return BEFORE the fetch
and BEFORE notify_models_updated. The TUI kept an empty picker and the
prompt bar rendered 'unknown'. Guard decision extracted into the pure
should_wipe_catalog_on_auth_change (matrix-tested); a stored OAuth
session now vetoes the wipe, so the fetch runs, the first real catalog
reselects the default model (first entry = the connected provider's),
and kigi/models/update reaches the client.
- Startup prefetch: the arming gate ignored stored OAuth sessions and the
prefetch thread passed an empty token map — a claude-only user booted
onto the bundled Kimi table until a later refresh. The gate now takes
has_stored_oauth and the thread resolves each stored session's bearer
(refresh-on-expiry) via a current-thread runtime.
- Cache origins: from_config's startup cache load and cache_origin()
computed the fetch-plan origin with an empty token map, so a
claude-inclusive cached catalog never matched at startup. Both now use
presence-only stubs (stored_oauth_token_stubs — names only, no bearers)
proven equal to the real-token origin by test.
New probes in models_fetch: stored_oauth_platforms / stored_oauth_token_
stubs (sync auth.json scope scan; no AuthManager, no secrets).
Verified: kigi-shell 5260 tests green, clippy clean.
/login previously fired the resolved method's flow immediately — there was
no way to see providers or their status. It now lands on the provider
picker; already-connected providers show a green 'connected' badge in the
key column.
Shell: initialize() probes stored credentials once (primary session flag,
auth.json oauth/<provider> scopes, resolved platform keys env>auth.json>
config) and stamps _meta.connected on each advertised method
(connected_method_ids + stamp_connected_meta, pure and unit-tested).
Display state only — never an authorization input.
TUI:
- PendingMenuItem::connected() reads the badge from method meta; the
picker renders it green (accent_success), replacing the shortcut hint.
- New Action::OpenLoginPicker: /login shows the picker; mid-session it
stashes the view like dispatch_login, and starts no flow by itself.
- Mid-session picker: last row reads 'Cancel' and dispatches CancelLogin
(clicking it must not exit the app); Esc also returns to the session.
- After a successful login, the just-authenticated method is stamped
connected in the TUI's advertised-methods copy (auth_in_flight_method →
AuthComplete), so a later /login shows the badge without re-initialize.
Verified: kigi-shell 5256 + kigi-tui 6870 tests green, clippy clean.
One authority answers 'which credential may ride this request':
credential_class / manager_for / credential_for / bearer_resolver_for,
keyed by (platform, base_url). SessionCredential is an opaque type with
no production constructor, so a new call site cannot re-introduce the
session-bearer leak. Platform-scoped tests extended across all bearer
channels (session, aux, summary, subagent override).
Verified: cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean; kigi-shell and
kigi-tui suites green (6611+ tests).
29th platform `openai-codex` (uses_oauth, Responses wire). PKCE-localhost login at
auth.openai.com (client app_EMoamEEZ73f0CkXaXp7hrann, redirect localhost:1455/auth/
callback, form token exchange, fresh-random state) reusing the claude-pro-max flow;
OAuthFlow::PkceLocalhost gained a redirect_path and OAuthConfig an authorize_extra
(empty elsewhere, so claude/xai/copilot authorize URLs stay byte-identical).
Codex-specific: the access token is a JWT carrying chatgpt_account_id, which becomes
the `chatgpt-account-id` inference header. It is derived STATELESSLY from whichever
bearer rides each request (so a rotated token needs no persisted field), and BOTH
login and refresh fail fast when the claim is absent — gated on the explicit
OAuthConfig.requires_chatgpt_account_id fact, never inferred from the token-body
encoding (a plain form endpoint is the OAuth norm and must not inherit this).
Inference rides the existing Responses wire at chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex →
/responses, with codex headers (chatgpt-account-id, originator, OpenAI-Beta
responses=experimental, codex UA) gated on SamplerConfig.openai_codex so API-key
`openai` stays byte-identical; store:false was already the global Responses default.
Catalog is HARDCODED (no live endpoint exists for this backend; read from the
official Codex CLI's model cache): gpt-5.6-sol/terra/luna + gpt-5.5, ctx 272000,
each with its real reasoning levels (low..ultra — ReasoningEffort gained Ultra).
Excluded: gpt-5.3-codex-spark (supported_in_api=false), gpt-5.4/-mini and
codex-auto-review (hidden) — they would list but fail at inference. The fetch
short-circuits before any HTTP; Kigi never shells out to the codex CLI or reads
~/.codex.
Security review fixes: redact any `account-id` header from request logs (it was
reaching debug logs), strict 3-segment JWT check (fail closed), refresh no longer
fails open on a missing claim. Inherits leak-safe pooled routing (scope
oauth/openai-codex) — never the Kimi token. Full gate green (234 suites, 0 warnings).
28th platform `github-copilot` (uses_oauth, ChatCompletions wire). Two-stage auth:
RFC-8628 GitHub device flow (client Iv1.b507a08c87ecfe98, scope read:user, errors
in a 200 body) mints the DURABLE github token; a GET api.github.com/copilot_internal/
v2/token exchange re-mints the SHORT-LIVED copilot token. Persisted as key=copilot
token, refresh_token=github token, expires_at=copilot expiry; the "refresh" is a
copilot-token re-mint (not a refresh_token grant), dispatched via
OAuthTokenBody::GithubCopilotExchange in the generic refresher.
VS Code editor-identity headers on /models + /chat/completions, gated on
SamplerConfig.github_copilot / PlatformId::sends_copilot_editor_headers() so every
other ChatCompletions provider stays byte-identical. Live /models filtered
(parse_github_copilot_listing) to the openai-completions-served models: keep iff
model_picker_enabled && policy.state!="disabled" && tool_calls!=false AND not a
claude-4.x/5.x (messages) or gpt-5/oswe/mai- (responses-only) id — those need
per-model wire routing (documented debt), excluded rather than mis-routed.
Inherits the leak-safe pooled routing (scope oauth/github-copilot); its bearer/
refresh/api_key never touch the Kimi token (regression test added). Fail-fast on
an out-of-range copilot expires_at (would otherwise silently 401 mid-session).
Adversarial security review: GO, no CRITICAL/HIGH. Known limitation: Pi's
per-model policy-enablement POST is not ported (documented in AGENTS.md).
27th registry variant, 2nd subscription-OAuth provider. Log in with a Claude
Pro/Max subscription via PKCE authorization-code + S256 (loopback callback on
127.0.0.1:53692, with a manual code-paste fallback), then use it against
api.anthropic.com — reusing the existing Anthropic Messages wire + Anthropic
listing + the multi-provider OAuth foundation (dbce6bf). Sourced from Pi
(earendil-works/pi auth/oauth/anthropic.ts): client 9d1c250a..., authorize
claude.ai/oauth/authorize, token platform.claude.com/v1/oauth/token, scope
'…user:inference user:sessions:claude_code…'.
New machinery (foundation handles token routing — claude-pro-max is a
uses_oauth platform so its bearer/refresh/api_key already route to its own
pooled manager, never Kimi):
- OAuthConfig gains flow{DeviceCode|PkceLocalhost} + token_host + token_body
{Form|JSON}; xai/kimi rows unchanged (DeviceCode/Form).
- auth/oauth_pkce.rs: PKCE S256 wire — loopback listener with STRICT state
validation (CSRF, fail-closed), manual-paste fallback, JSON code→token
exchange + rotating-refresh. Never logs code/verifier/tokens.
- Messages OAuth adaptation gated on SamplerConfig.anthropic_oauth (true only
for a claude-pro-max managed key): Authorization: Bearer + anthropic-beta
oauth + user-agent claude-cli + x-app cli, and the required 'You are Claude
Code' system prefix. API-key anthropic/minimax Messages requests are
BYTE-IDENTICAL (regression-guarded).
- Live /models under the OAuth Bearer + oauth-beta headers (Anthropic listing,
enriched from models.dev anthropic); persistent 401 → 0 models + WARN, NO
hardcoded fallback list (honest failure).
Adversarial review: no blocking findings (secret handling, CSRF/state, the
anthropic_oauth gate, token routing, non-regression all CONFIRMED). Full gate
green. Registry at 27; picker updated. Residual (unverifiable without a real
Claude Pro/Max account): whether GET /v1/models accepts the OAuth bearer, and
the real endpoint's acceptance of the OAuth Messages request.
First subscription-OAuth provider beyond Kimi Code (26th registry variant).
Log in with a Grok/SuperGrok/X subscription via RFC-8628 device-code OAuth
(auth.x.ai), then use it against api.x.ai/v1 — reusing the existing xai wire
(ChatCompletions + OpenAI listing + Passthrough + restrict + models_dev_id
xai). Sourced from Pi (earendil-works/pi auth/oauth/xai.ts): client
b1a00492..., scope 'openid profile email offline_access grok-cli:access
api:access', standard Bearer (no x-xai-token-auth).
Foundation (generalizes Kigi's Kimi-singleton OAuth to per-provider, root
cause, not a patch):
- Registry: OAuthConfig on PlatformSpec (client_id/host/device+token
paths/scope/scope_key); XAI_OAUTH_CONFIG + XAI_GROK_SPEC (uses_oauth, method
id 'xai-grok', an interactive login after kimi-code).
- Generic device-code wire (auth/oauth_device.rs) + GenericDeviceRefresher,
sharing the RFC-8628 core with Kimi; Kimi's bespoke flow is byte-identical
(X-Msh headers, KIMI_CODE_OAUTH_SCOPE, keyring gating unchanged).
- Per-provider AuthManager via a process-global pool (auth/oauth_registry.rs):
build-on-demand with start_proactive_refresh, keyed by scope. The session
resolves the AuthManager for the ACTIVE model's platform for bearer/refresh/
401-recovery/api_key — an oauth-platform model always uses its OWN token,
never the primary.
- Live /models under OAuth; base routes oauth().is_some() -> platform.base_url()
(kimi-code stays on proxy_url).
Security: adversarial review + a systematic token-leak audit found and closed
FIVE channels where the primary Kimi token could reach api.x.ai (bearer
resolver, api_key stamping, aux summary/classifier/image-describe models, and
subagent model-override). Each fix routes through the platform-aware resolver
(the oauth model's pooled token or None, NEVER the primary) and is revert-to-red
verified. No access/refresh token is ever logged.
Registry at 26; picker updated (xai-grok interactive login row); TUI
context-window already auto-updates per model. Full gate green (234 suites,
fmt, clippy -D warnings, deny). GPT/Claude/Grok officially permit third-party
subscription use.
Providers 21-22 (24th & 25th registry variants), sourced from Pi
(earendil-works/pi). Pi drives MiniMax through its Anthropic-COMPATIBLE
surface (baseUrl .../anthropic), so Kigi reuses the existing Anthropic
Messages machinery (wire_api=Messages, listing=Anthropic, key_header=XApiKey
x-api-key+anthropic-version) rather than the OpenAI path. Global:
api.minimax.io/anthropic, MINIMAX_API_KEY, models.dev minimax. China:
api.minimaxi.com/anthropic, MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY, models.dev minimax-cn.
The base carries the /v1 suffix (.../anthropic/v1) since Kigi appends bare
paths → listing .../anthropic/v1/models?limit=1000, inference
.../anthropic/v1/messages (matches the live-probed x-api-key-gated endpoint).
restrict_to_enriched=FALSE: the 7 MiniMax-M* models are clean (no pollution)
and restrict would drop launch-day models not yet in models.dev.
Also HARDENS parse_anthropic_listing to tolerate a bare array in addition to
the {data:[...]} envelope (mirrors parse_openai_listing's sniff that Together
taught us) — so MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible /models can't silently empty
the catalog if it serves a bare array. A bare object without data still errors.
Review found no defects (5 areas CONFIRMED incl. the /v1 non-doubling, the
additive parser change, restrict=false rationale). Residual (logged): the live
200 body / anthropic-version acceptance is unverifiable without a key; the
bare-array tolerance + restrict=false hedge most shapes.
Tests: e2e mocks the x-api-key-gated Anthropic listing (proves the auth header
+ enrichment + keying under minimax/); both validation tests reject 401 with
the per-variant console host; new parser test covers envelope + bare array +
bare-object-errors. Registry at 25; picker 26 rows.
Providers 19-20 (22nd & 23rd registry variants), sourced from Pi
(earendil-works/pi). Pi's xiaomi.ts / xiaomi-token-plan-cn.ts use plain
openAICompletionsApi (no thinking dialect) → Kigi Passthrough. Global: MiMo
at api.xiaomimimo.com/v1, XIAOMI_API_KEY, models.dev xiaomi. China token plan:
token-plan-cn.xiaomimimo.com/v1, XIAOMI_TOKEN_PLAN_CN_API_KEY, models.dev
xiaomi-token-plan-cn. Both Bearer + OpenAI listing + ChatCompletions +
restrict_to_enriched; /models auth-gated → validator.
id-match proven vs Pi's static ids (mimo-v2.5-pro, mimo-v2-flash, ...). The
CN token plan lists 4 mimo TTS models (tool_call=false); restrict's tool_call
cut drops them, keeping only the 3 chat models — the e2e proves this
non-vacuously with the real mimo-v2-tts. Review found no defects.
Registry at 23; picker 24 rows (welcome picker verified rendering all rows at
a taller viewport).
Providers 17-18 (20th & 21st registry variants), sourced authoritatively
from Pi (earendil-works/pi), the open-source agent whose provider list is
being mirrored. Pi's zai.ts / zai-coding-cn.ts use plain openAICompletionsApi
(NO special thinking dialect — overturns the matrix's 'thinking:{type} → new
dialect' concern), so Kigi maps them to Passthrough. Global: api.z.ai/api/
coding/paas/v4, ZAI_API_KEY, models.dev zai-coding-plan. China (Zhipu
BigModel): open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding/paas/v4, ZAI_CODING_CN_API_KEY,
models.dev zhipuai-coding-plan. Both Bearer + OpenAI listing + ChatCompletions
+ restrict_to_enriched; /models is auth-gated → validator.
id-match is PROVEN (not just assumed like Qwen): Pi's static model ids
[glm-4.5-air, glm-4.7, glm-5-turbo, glm-5.1, glm-5.2, glm-5v-turbo] are
byte-identical to the models.dev zai-coding-plan keys, all tool_call=true, so
restrict keeps every model with no silent-empty risk. Review found no defects.
GLM thinking is not lost (reasoning_content is parsed regardless of dialect).
Tests: e2e proves enrichment-supplied context + non-vacuous restrict (a
non-enriched wire model is dropped) + Passthrough; both variants' validation
tests hit /models and assert the per-variant console host (z.ai vs
open.bigmodel.cn). Registry at 21; picker 22 rows.
Also fixes the welcome login-picker test for the now-taller menu (renders at
a taller viewport to verify content coverage) and logs the real menu-overflow
UX debt: the picker clips rows past the fold with no scroll (q/l shortcuts
still work; only shown when unauthenticated) — deferred to its own cycle.
Provider 16 (19th registry variant). Same endpoint + models + Kimi dialect
as the existing OAuth kimi-code platform (api.kimi.com/coding/v1 via the
KIGI_CODE_BASE_URL override), but authenticated with a static KIMI_API_KEY
instead of the device flow — for users who have a Kimi For Coding key rather
than an OAuth subscription. Bearer, OpenAI listing, ChatCompletions,
ChatCompat::Kimi, wire_serves_metadata=true (Kimi /models self-serves
context/thinking), restrict_to_enriched=false (clean 3-model catalog).
/coding/v1/models is auth-gated (401) so it doubles as the validator.
No collision: KIMI_API_KEY was previously unused (grep-verified), and the
house BYOK reads only KIGI_API_KEY/XAI_API_KEY/legacy. kimi-code (OAuth) and
kimi-coding (static key) are independently gated (OAuth-token vs key) and
their models get distinct managed keys (kimi-code/k3 vs kimi-coding/k3) — a
user with both simply sees each Kimi model twice; no dedup collision, no crash.
Review (6 areas): no blocking defects; confirmed the spec correctly mirrors
KIMI_CODE_SPEC (differing only in uses_oauth/api_key_envs/console_host/labels)
and the coexistence is benign. Strengthened the e2e's dialect assertion (Kimi
is the default ChatCompat, so it did not discriminate a parse failure) by
also asserting parse_managed_model_key attributes the key to KimiCoding.
Tests: e2e proves wire-served context (1_048_576 from the wire) with the
models.dev fetch SKIPPED (all-wire-metadata provider, .expect(0)), bare-id
round-trip under kimi-coding/, Kimi dialect; validation test rejects a 401
from /models. Registry at 19; picker 20 rows; snapshot already bundles
kimi-for-coding.
Providers 14-15 (17th & 18th registry variants), Alibaba DashScope
compatible-mode. Global: token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com,
QWEN_TOKEN_PLAN_API_KEY, models.dev alibaba-token-plan. China:
token-plan.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com, QWEN_TOKEN_PLAN_CN_API_KEY,
alibaba-token-plan-cn. Both Bearer + OpenAI listing + ChatCompletions +
Passthrough (stream_options.include_usage is documented-supported).
/models is auth-gated (401 without a key) so it doubles as the validator;
metadata from models.dev enrichment. The token plan is a multi-vendor
catalog (deepseek/kimi/minimax/glm/qwen); restrict_to_enriched keeps the 15
tool-calling chat models and drops the 4 qwen-image/wan image generators.
Review downgraded two flagged concerns: the enable_thinking non-streaming
400 cannot occur (Kigi never issues non-streaming ChatCompletions in
production — all inference streams), and Qwen thinking is NOT invisible
(reasoning_content is parsed regardless of the Passthrough dialect). No
defects. Residual (logged): restrict does an exact id-match of live /models
ids vs the models.dev keys; a mismatch fails safe (0 models) — verify with a
real key. Snapshot already bundles both providers (regenerated in ebf1105).
Tests: global e2e proves enrichment-supplied context (wire carries none),
non-vacuous tool_call restriction (qwen-image dropped), bare-id round-trip,
Passthrough; both variants' validation tests hit /models (401 reject) and
assert the correct per-variant console host. Registry at 18; picker 19 rows.
13th provider (16th registry variant). Also reconciles a naming collision
the matrix flagged: this fork is house-branded "xai" (cf. xai.dev metadata,
KIGI_CODE_XAI_API_KEY legacy env), so XAI_API_KEY + method xai.api_key were
the GENERIC house BYOK, not x.ai/Grok. The provider table wants xai/XAI_API_KEY
for Grok.
Resolution (user-approved): XAI_API_KEY now keys the x.ai/Grok provider; the
house BYOK primary env moves to KIGI_API_KEY, keeping XAI_API_KEY and
KIGI_CODE_XAI_API_KEY as back-compat fallbacks (read_xai_api_key_env checks
KIGI_API_KEY first). The xai.api_key method id is unchanged (persisted-session
compat); the platform method id is the bare "xai", distinct from it.
xAI spec: api.x.ai/v1, Bearer, OpenAI listing + ChatCompletions, Passthrough
(docs confirm stream_options.include_usage accepted). /v1/models is minimal
(ids only) and requires auth, so it doubles as the key validator (401 on bad
key, no override) and metadata comes from models.dev enrichment. Live ids
match the models.dev "xai" keys byte-for-byte, so restrict_to_enriched keeps
the 5 tool-calling chat models (grok-4.5/4.3/4.20-0309-*/build-0.1) and drops
the grok-imagine-* generators + the non-tool multi-agent model. Snapshot
regenerated to include the xai provider (was stale; gen script already listed
it in TARGETS).
Env migration is comprehensive to avoid keying the xai platform (which would
trigger a live api.x.ai fetch) or leaving house-key reads stranded: routed
the trace CLI resolver + acp_agent/auth.json bridge + paste-key ext handler
through the new primary; moved all leader/pager/e2e harness setters to
KIGI_API_KEY; made every house-key isolation test unset KIGI_API_KEY too;
updated user-facing hints to name KIGI_API_KEY.
Tests: e2e proves enrichment-supplied context (wire carries none), non-vacuous
tool_call restriction, bare-id round-trip under xai/, Passthrough; validation
tests hit /models (401 reject, 200 accept); house_env_var_takes_precedence_over_xai
pins the new precedence. Registry at 16; picker 17 rows; 4 auth arrays + xai.
Review (16 findings, all fixed): caught a missed else-branch env clear in the
paste-key handler (would leak the house key past a clear) and a non-hermetic
credential-priority test; both fixed.
12th provider. API-key via AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY, Bearer, OpenAI listing +
ChatCompletions, Passthrough dialect. Second wire-metadata provider but
takes the enrichment path instead: Vercel serves context under
context_window, which WireModel ignores (reads context_length), so
wire_serves_metadata=false + restrict_to_enriched pulls context/limits
from the models.dev "vercel" snapshot (302/306 live ids match snapshot
keys byte-for-byte, so restrict keeps essentially the whole catalog).
/models is public (200 for any key), so login validation targets
/credits (key_validation_path) which 401s on a bad bearer — avoids
false-accepting invalid keys against the public listing.
Tests: e2e proves enrichment-wins (wire context_window=999 distinct from
enrichment context=400000, asserts 400000) and non-vacuous tool_call
restriction; validation test proves /credits (not /models) is hit.
Registry at 15 (ordinal/VARIANT_COUNT/ALL), 4 auth arrays + 16-row picker.
The 14th registry row: id "nvidia", NVIDIA_API_KEY > auth.json "nvidia"
scope, https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1 with KIGI_NVIDIA_BASE_URL
override, Bearer, ChatCompletions, enrichment-backed metadata
(models_dev_id nvidia — the quirk matrix's earlier 'absent' claim was
wrong; models.dev has 84 nvidia models), restrict_to_enriched=true (the
NIM listing mixes chat/embedding/rerank/vision/image; keep the 45
tool-calling chat models). Slashed org/model ids
(nvidia/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct) round-trip via the first-slash split;
the native id rides the wire.
NIM exposes raw vLLM behavior and stream_options support varies per model
(some strict vLLM backends 4xx on it), so chat_compat=StrictOpenAi strips
stream_options — streaming works across the whole fleet, usage falls back
to estimation. Snapshot reasoning models carry no effort menus, so kigi
sends no reasoning_effort (which an unsupported strict validator would
400 on). Review: no defects. Logged note: a key lacking the org 'Public
API Endpoints' permission passes /models validation but 403s on chat
(user-fixable edge case).
The 13th registry row: id "cerebras", CEREBRAS_API_KEY > auth.json
"cerebras" scope, https://api.cerebras.ai/v1 with KIGI_CEREBRAS_BASE_URL
override, Bearer, ChatCompletions, enrichment-backed metadata
(models_dev_id cerebras).
Cerebras' catalog is all chat LLMs (no embedding/tts pollution) and its
/models is minimal (ids only), so restrict_to_enriched=FALSE: keep every
live model, enrich the known ones (context + effort menus low/medium/high),
unknown ones keep the default context. The e2e pins this enrich-without-
restrict path (new — prior enrichment providers all used restrict=true).
Review caught a likely-DOA defect: Cerebras uses strict
additionalProperties:false validation (confirmed 400-rejecting store,
maxTokens, thinking, nested reasoning_content), and stream_options is not
in its schema — so Passthrough (which keeps the stream_options.include_usage
kigi injects on every streaming request) would very likely 400 all
streaming. Generalized ChatCompat::Mistral -> ChatCompat::StrictOpenAi
(serde alias "mistral" keeps pre-rename persisted sessions loading), which
strips stream_options + private fields for any strict OpenAI-compat
validator; both Mistral and Cerebras now map to it. Future strict-validator
candidates (NVIDIA/Azure/Xiaomi/OpenCode) noted for the same check.
reasoning_effort (incl. "none") passes through; /v1/models requires auth
so key validation works; console cloud.cerebras.ai.
The 12th registry row: id "together", TOGETHER_API_KEY > auth.json
"together" scope, https://api.together.xyz/v1 with KIGI_TOGETHER_BASE_URL
override, Bearer, ChatCompletions + Passthrough, enrichment-backed
metadata (models_dev_id togetherai) with the tool-calling listing
restriction (Together's listing mixes chat/embedding/rerank/image types).
Together's GET /v1/models returns a BARE JSON ARRAY, not the OpenAI
{object:list,data:[]} envelope. New shared parser parse_openai_listing
tolerates both shapes (sniffs the top-level [ vs { for accurate
diagnostics); every OpenAI-listing provider now routes through it, with
byte-equivalent envelope behavior (verified: Groq/Google/OpenRouter
unchanged) and non-silent errors. Together's org/Model ids match the
togetherai snapshot keys exactly (verified), so restrict_to_enriched keeps
the ~27 tool-calling models without the id-shape trap.
Review: ship-ready, shared-parser change proven strictly-additive and safe,
registry/e2e/dialect all correct. Backlog logged: kigi ignores the wire
per-model field, so a live Together chat model absent from
models.dev is dropped until indexed — a future wire- filter would
unlock the fresh full catalog.
The 11th registry row and the first THIRD-PARTY wire_serves_metadata=true
provider: id "openrouter", OPENROUTER_API_KEY > auth.json "openrouter"
scope, https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 (note /api/v1) with
KIGI_OPENROUTER_BASE_URL override, Bearer, OpenAI listing +
ChatCompletions + Passthrough.
OpenRouter's public /models serves context_length for every model
(verified live: 340/340), so it needs NO enrichment: models_dev_id=None,
wire_serves_metadata=true, restrict_to_enriched=false. An OpenRouter-only
user makes zero models.dev calls; context comes straight from the listing.
Slashed ids (anthropic/claude-opus-4.8) round-trip through the managed key
via the first-slash split; the native id rides the wire. The e2e pins all
of this with the models.dev refresh disabled.
Review-confirmed defect fixed (and independently re-verified with live
curls): OpenRouter's /models is PUBLIC — GET /models returns 200 for ANY
key — so login key-validation would false-accept a bad key, deferring the
failure to the first chat 401. New spec field key_validation_path lets a
public-listing platform validate against an auth-requiring endpoint;
OpenRouter uses /key (401s for bad keys). Reusable for Vercel (also
public). Tests pin the /key validation and no regression to the default
/models path.
Gate caught a fixture regression: the kimi_import test used openrouter.ai
to represent a CUSTOM provider, which now correctly dedupes to the builtin
OpenRouter — moved the fixture to a reserved llm.example.test host that no
future platform can shadow.
The 10th registry row: id "google", GEMINI_API_KEY > auth.json "google"
scope, https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai (Gemini's
OpenAI-compatibility shim) with KIGI_GOOGLE_BASE_URL override, Bearer,
OpenAI listing + ChatCompletions + Passthrough, enrichment-backed
metadata (models_dev_id google), tool-calling listing restriction.
Review caught a ship-blocking defect: Gemini's compat /models returns
-PREFIXED ids (confirmed via Google's own cookbook), but the
models.dev snapshot keys and the chat endpoint use the BARE id. Without
normalization the enrichment lookup misses and restrict_to_enriched
silently empties the Gemini catalog (login works, zero models
selectable). A doc WebFetch had hidden this — the compat docs show bare
INPUT ids to retrieve/chat but never print the list OUTPUT.
Fix: new spec field strip_listing_id_prefix, applied in the fetch before
filter/enrich/keying. Google sets Some("models/") (defensive: a no-op if
an id is already bare, so correct regardless of the live shape); all other
rows None. The e2e now feeds the REAL prefixed listing ids and asserts
they survive as the bare managed key google/gemini-2.5-pro with the bare
id on the wire (chat rejects the prefix); a registry test pins the config.
Note: models.dev models Gemini reasoning as budget_tokens (not
effort-type), so no auto effort-menu — models still fully work; reasoning
is dynamic. Gemini compat applies default safety filters (no BLOCK_NONE).
The 9th registry row, pure Groq pattern: id "fireworks",
FIREWORKS_API_KEY > auth.json "fireworks" scope,
https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1 (note /inference/v1) with
KIGI_FIREWORKS_BASE_URL override, OpenAI listing + ChatCompletions +
Passthrough dialect, enrichment-backed metadata (models_dev_id
fireworks-ai) with the tool-calling listing restriction.
Fireworks native ids are deeply slashed (accounts/fireworks/models/glm-5p2);
the e2e pins the full round-trip: the managed key
(fireworks/accounts/fireworks/models/glm-5p2) parses back on the first
slash, and — the 404-risk property — the NATIVE id rides the inference
wire (entry.model and the resolved SamplerConfig.model) while the
fireworks/ prefix stays internal routing only.
Review (models.dev provider.toml + Fireworks docs): row facts confirmed,
registry integrity at 9, counts complete, e2e strong on all axes, zero
defects. One tradeoff logged as debt: restrict_to_enriched drops
fine-tuned/account-scoped deployed models (a headline Fireworks feature)
that can never be in models.dev.
The 8th registry row: id "mistral", MISTRAL_API_KEY > auth.json
"mistral" scope, https://api.mistral.ai/v1 with KIGI_MISTRAL_BASE_URL
override, enrichment-backed metadata with the tool-calling listing
restriction (embed/moderation/OCR noise).
Mistral is NOT a pure-pattern provider — an adversarial review found two
doc-confirmed blockers that no test exercises (no e2e covers a chat POST),
so the gate-green registry row alone would have shipped it DOA. A research
workflow pinned the exact wire shapes against the mistralai/client-python
SDK source (adversarially verified), then both were fixed:
1. stream_options 422: Mistral's strict Pydantic validator rejects the
stream_options.include_usage field kigi injects on every streaming
request (the SDK's request model has no such field). New
ChatCompat::Mistral dialect strips it (plus the kigi-private message
fields, like Passthrough). Streaming usage falls back to token
estimation.
2. Reasoning content arrays: Mistral reasoning models return content as
Union[str, List[ContentChunk]] on both streaming and non-streaming,
which the flat Option<String> path could not decode -> aborted turn.
A UNIVERSAL lenient deserializer (#[serde(from = "Raw..")] on
ChatResponseMessage + ChatChunkDelta) accepts string-or-array, routing
{type:text} chunks to the answer and the nested text of {type:thinking}
chunks to reasoning_content, tolerant of the OPEN chunk union (unknown
types ignored, never fatal). String content stays byte-identical for
every other provider (kimi/deepseek/groq/BYOK).
Review refuted all seven attack lines (no regression, no crash, exhaustive)
and flagged one coverage gap, now closed: a stream-consumer integration
test drives a full thinking -> transition -> answer chunk sequence and
proves it yields the same reasoning-sibling + assistant-answer result as
the reasoning_content string path.
Also folds a verified quirk matrix for all 23 remaining API providers into
providers-plan.md, tiered by real difficulty (self-enriching OpenRouter/
Vercel; bare-array Together listing; Messages-dialect MiniMax reusing the
Anthropic machinery; non-Bearer Azure/Bedrock; router wildcards; the OAuth
block).
