Summary

  • Add Codex's current ultrafast service-tier descriptor to the pinned gpt-5.6-sol fallback while keeping the existing Fast/priority row unchanged.
  • Reuse the existing entitlement-gated Sol capability inheritance for gpt-daybreak-blue-latest; Terra, Luna, Spark, and routed provider rows do not gain Ultrafast.
  • Preserve caller-selected service_tier: "ultrafast" on canonical OpenAI Responses while the global Fast setting is Auto, with a regression test for the live request path.
  • Document why additional_speed_tiers remains ["fast"], why a forced global Fast setting still selects priority, and how the model-owned picker tier behaves across all shipped guide locales.

Closes #2993

Verification

  • bun test tests/codex-catalog.test.ts tests/service-tier-capability.test.ts — 253 pass, 0 fail
  • bun run typecheck
  • bun run test --parallel=2 — full isolated suite passed with CPU and worker parallelism both limited to two
  • cd docs-site && bun run build — 401 pages built
  • git diff --check
  • jq empty src/codex/data/upstream-models.json
  • Protected local Codex/OpenCodex/Paseo configuration hashes were unchanged after every test/build phase.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for the Ultrafast service tier for eligible GPT-5.6 Sol models.
    • Daybreak Blue inherits Sol’s Fast and Ultrafast capabilities, while Terra and Luna remain Fast-only.
    • Preserved model-selected Ultrafast behavior when the global Fast setting is set to Auto.
  • Documentation

    • Updated Codex model and service-tier guidance across multiple languages.
    • Clarified provider handling and the difference between Fast and Ultrafast tiers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pinned Codex fallback adds an Ultrafast tier for gpt-5.6-sol. Tests verify Sol and Daybreak Blue capabilities while keeping Terra and Luna Fast-only. English and localized documentation describe tier selection and provider handling.

Changes

Codex Ultrafast support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Catalog fallback and regression coverage
src/codex/data/upstream-models.json, tests/codex-catalog.test.ts, tests/service-tier-capability.test.ts
At lines 113-117, Sol gains the ultrafast service tier. Tests at lines 2732-2748 and 2934-2939 verify Sol, Terra, Luna, and Daybreak Blue tier assignments. Lines 422-433 verify passthrough preservation for flex and ultrafast.
English catalog documentation
docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/codex-app-models.md
Lines 122-148 and 228-254 document model-owned Ultrafast metadata, fallback assignments, additional_speed_tiers, Auto versus forced Fast selection, and provider capability handling.
Localized catalog documentation
docs-site/src/content/docs/*/guides/codex-app-models.md
The French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese guides update their headings and describe the same Ultrafast behavior and provider rules. The Turkish guide also contains a deletion-only change at line 325.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 95429

The PR enables Ultrafast for eligible Codex routes while preserving existing tier controls. One Turkish documentation sentence should refer to all supported speed tiers rather than only Fast, but this is a localized clarity issue with no runtime impact and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

@lidge-jun this is ready for your review.

I resolved the two policy questions from the issue review against the pinned Codex source at openai/codex@dde85b435b16994f956bce08e5fb796ed94c27fd:

  • Sol's service_tiers contains both priority and ultrafast, while additional_speed_tiers intentionally remains ["fast"]; this PR mirrors that shape exactly.
  • The existing explicit global Fast override continues to select priority. Caller-selected ultrafast is preserved only in Auto/passthrough mode, and the docs now state that boundary.

There is no GUI/config enum expansion and no Ultrafast capability broadening for Terra, Luna, Spark, or routed providers. Exact-head focused tests, typecheck, the CPU-bounded full suite, and the 401-page docs build are green. I will not self-approve or merge this PR.

Use a generic term for unsupported service tiers.

Line 254 says Hızlı hız seçeneği (“Fast speed option”), but this section covers both Fast and Ultrafast. The English source states that any unsupported speed option is not advertised. As written, the Turkish page can imply that this rule applies only to Fast. Update the sentence to cover all service-tier options, including ultrafast.

As per path instructions, translated locale pages must stay aligned with the English source and actual CLI/API behavior.

설명

지금 CURRENT dev HEAD 는 641466db6 이다. 바로 앞 머지는 #2984 테스트 락 사용자 격리이고, 그 앞은 #2954 프로비넌스 바이트 한도, #2985 grok-4.20-multi-agent Responses 캐리다. package.json 은 2.36.0 이다. 이 PR 은 types.ts / config.ts 쪼개기와 겹치지 않는다. 닫고 리베이스하라는 대상이 아니다. 미리보기 배포도 계획에 없다.

이 PR 은 열린 이슈 #2993 을 닫는다. Codex 0.151 이 모델마다 가진 속도 칸 service_tiers 안에 ultrafast 를 올려, GPT-5.6 Sol 과 그 능력 별명 Daybreak Blue 가 깨끗한 설치와 폴백 카탈로그에서도 Ultrafast 를 고르게 한다. 라이브 /models 가 이미 두 칸을 주면 그 목록이 가릴 수 있다. 그러나 캐시를 다시 만들거나, 설치한 Codex 가 티어 메타데이터보다 오래되었거나, 깨끗한 집이면 묶여 있는 폴백 src/codex/data/upstream-models.json 이 권위가 된다. 지금 HEAD 그 파일의 gpt-5.6-sol 108-113줄 service_tierspriority / Fast 한 줄뿐이다. ultrafast 문자열은 HEAD JSON 에 없다. Terra 224줄, Luna 336줄도 Fast 한 줄이고, Spark 는 src/codex/catalog/parsing.ts 300-311줄 NO_FAST_TIER_NATIVE_SLUGS 가 티어를 지운다.

코드 변경의 뼈대는 JSON 한 곳이다. PR 은 Sol 폴백 service_tiers 배열에 id: "ultrafast", name Ultrafast, description The fastest available responses for latency-sensitive work. 한 줄을 더한다. additional_speed_tiers["fast"] 그대로다. 작성자가 이슈 리뷰의 정책 질문에 답한 대로, 고정 Codex 원본 openai/codex@dde85b435b16994f956bce08e5fb796ed94c27fd 도 Ultrafast 를 service_tiers 에만 두고 그 레거시 칸에는 넣지 않는다. Terra, Luna, Spark, 라우트된 제공자 JSON 은 손대지 않는다.

Daybreak Blue 는 upstream-models.json 에 자기 행이 없다. src/codex/catalog/native-models.ts 25줄 NATIVE_OPENAI_CAPABILITY_SOURCESgpt-daybreak-blue-latestgpt-5.6-sol 에 붙인다. src/codex/catalog/metadata.ts 464-488줄 upstreamNativeEntryForSlug 가 Sol 행을 structuredClone 한 뒤 슬러그와 표시 이름만 바꾼다. 그래서 Sol 폴백에 ultrafast 를 넣으면 Daybreak 별명도 같은 칸을 물려받는다. 자격 없는 계정에 맨 Daybreak 행을 새로 심는 일이 아니다. ACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_OPENAI_MODELS 자격 검사는 그대로다.

전송 면은 새 런타임 분기를 만들지 않는다. 이미 있는 Auto 패스스루를 회귀로 잠근다. src/providers/fastwire.ts 239-241줄 canonicalFastTierMarkerpriorityfast 만 Fast 로 본다. ultrafast 는 외국 값이다. decideTier 397-427줄은 fastMode 가 undefined(Auto) 이면 forward-caller 를 돌려 호출자 값을 남긴다. fastMode === true 이면 406-410줄이 canonicalToWire.priority 로 덮어 쓴다. src/adapters/openai-responses.ts 1151-1155줄 applyTierDecisionToResponsesBodyforward-caller 이면 본문을 안 고친다. 테스트 tests/service-tier-capability.test.ts 는 예전 gpt-5.5 + flex 한 건을 gpt-5.6-solflex / ultrafast 두 칸 test.each 로 바꿨다. 강제 Fast 가 ultrafast 를 priority 로 덮는 동작은 코드에 이미 있고, 이번 PR 은 문서로만 못을 박았다.

카탈로그 테스트 tests/codex-catalog.test.ts 는 Sol 폴백에 priority+ultrafast 두 칸, Terra/Luna 는 Fast 한 칸만, Daybreak 소스 행이 Sol 과 같은 service_tiers 를 갖는지 잠근다. 문서 8개 로케일 docs-site/.../guides/codex-app-models.mddocs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 가 Fast/Ultrafast 철자 분리, additional_speed_tiers 유지, Auto 보존과 강제 Fast to priority 경계를 적는다. GUI/config enum 확장은 없다. 작성자 본문 검증은 focused 253 pass, typecheck, CPU 제한 전체 스위트, docs-site 401 pages 초록이다. 이 리뷰를 쓸 때 CI 는 hygiene/gates/keyring 초록이고 linux test shard 와 macos 는 아직 진행 중이었다. 라벨은 enhancement 만 있고 바꾸지 않는다.

라인 108-113 - HEAD src/codex/data/upstream-models.json gpt-5.6-sol service_tiers 가 priority/Fast 한 줄이라 폴백 권위일 때 Ultrafast 피커가 없다. 이 PR 이 여기만 고친다.
경로 additional_speed_tiers - PR 은 ["fast"] 를 유지한다. 이슈 리뷰가 같이 넣을지 물었고, 작성자는 고정 Codex 원본과 같게 service_tiers 만 쓰는 쪽을 골랐다. 맞다.
경로 tests/service-tier-capability.test.ts Auto 패스스루 - ultrafast 보존은 잠겼다. fastMode===true 가 ultrafast 를 priority 로 덮는 회귀는 없다. 문서만 적혀 있다.
경로 src/server/request-log.ts requestLogSpeedLabel 587-591줄 - priority/fast"fast" 라벨이다. ultrafastundefined 로 남는다. 요청 로그 속도 칸에 Ultrafast 가 안 보인다. 런타임 전송 버그는 아니다.
경로 Terra/Luna/Spark/라우트 - JSON 과 테스트가 그대로 Fast 한 칸(또는 스트립)을 유지한다. src/codex/catalog/effort.ts 160-168줄 라우트 Fast 스탬프에도 ultrafast 를 넣지 않았다. 이슈 금지와 맞다.
경로 CI - gates 는 초록, linux test shard 와 macos 는 이 리뷰 시점 진행 중. 작성자 로컬 focused+전체 스위트는 초록이라고 적혀 있다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • linux/macos CI 가 끝날 때까지 머지를 미룰지, 로컬 전체 스위트와 gates 초록만으로 올릴지.
  • 강제 Fast 가 Ultrafast 를 덮는 동작을 이번 PR 범위 밖에서 별도 회귀로 잠글지, 문서 경계만으로 충분한지.
  • requestLogSpeedLabel 에 ultrafast 라벨을 이번 머지 직후 작은 후속으로 넣을지, 관측만 남길지.
  • types/config 쪼개기와 무관하다. 닫지 말 것. [Feature]: surface Codex Ultrafast for Sol and Daybreak Blue fallback catalogs #2993 구현 PR 이고 중복이 아니다.

너의 추천
머지 하라. HEAD 폴백은 Sol 에 Fast 만 있어서 깨끗한 설치에서 Ultrafast 가 사라진다. 이 PR 은 Sol service_tiers 한 줄, Daybreak 기존 상속, Terra/Luna/Spark/라우트 비확대, Auto 패스스루 회귀, 로케일 문서까지 #2993 과 이슈 리뷰 추천을 그대로 따른다. additional_speed_tiers 유지와 강제 Fast to priority 경계도 문서에 못 박혀 있다. types/config 분리와 무관하다. CI shard 가 늦게 초록이 되면 그때 보면 되고, 제품 경로는 핀된 JSON 과 이미 있는 decideTier 패스스루뿐이라 기다릴 이유는 크지 않다. 머지되면 #2993 이 Closes 로 닫힌다.

Ultrafast는 프런트 노출 오류다. 피커에 칸을 올리면 고를 수는 있는데, 실제 Ultrafast 속도가 나오지 않는다. 백엔드가 깨져서가 아니다.

지금은 카탈로그에 올리지 않는다. 이 PR은 머지하지 않고 닫는다. 실제 속도가 나올 때 다시 연다. #2993도 같이 닫는다.

Self-review caught the flag stored but never read: `grep ultraFastTier src/`
outside config/types/routes returned nothing, so the toggle persisted a
preference and changed no behavior. Shipping a switch whose description promises
the tier survives regeneration, while nothing consumes it, would be the #2994
failure in a new place — a control that implies an effect it does not have.

normalizeRoutedCatalogEntry now consults the flag. With it OFF the four deletes
run exactly as before. With it ON the row keeps an ultrafast the OPERATOR put in
their own catalog, which is the reported symptom: #3429's reporter hand-edited
opencodex-catalog.json and watched every regeneration delete it.

Preserving is narrowed, not blanket. retainOnlyUltraFastTier keeps the ultrafast
entry and drops everything else, because routed rows are stripped precisely so a
clone of a native template cannot inherit OpenAI's priority tier — reopening that
under an unrelated flag would be a worse bug than the one being fixed. A
service_tier or default_service_tier naming a tier the row no longer carries is
dropped for the same reason. And a row carrying only upstream's Fast is still
stripped with the flag ON: there is no ultrafast to preserve, and inventing one
is the line #2994 was closed for.

The flag is read through ultraFastTierEnabled(loadConfig()) inside parsing.ts
rather than threaded through deriveEntry. That function and its five call sites
are pure RawEntry -> RawEntry transforms with no config parameter; plumbing one
boolean through all of them would be a far larger change than the behavior it
gates. Callers holding a config can still pass opts.ultraFastTier explicitly,
which is what the new tests do, and a read failure degrades to OFF.

Four new tests cover both states, including the two refusals: the flag never
smuggles Fast onto a routed row, and it invents nothing when the operator
supplied nothing.

Verification: bun run typecheck, bun run lint:gui, 340 focused catalog/fastwire
tests including the byte golden, 10 in ultrafast-tier-honesty, and
bun run test:changed at 14419 pass / 0 fail across 785 files.

…credit, Ultra Fast opt-in) (#3478)

* docs(devlog): roadmap the 260904 triage gap closure

Three gaps the triage verified as NOT done: the half-shipped fable-5-1 metadata, the missing CREDITS row for #3284, and Ultra Fast.

The Ultra Fast doc carries the finding that shapes the whole phase: upstream-models.json advertises only priority, so there is no ultrafast tier to forward and re-adding the catalog row would reproduce exactly what #2994 was closed for. What is separately true is that a forced ultrafast request is classified not-requested and gets no speed label — an observability lie fixable without advertising anything.

* feat(catalog): add claude-fable-5-1 to model metadata

Carries PR #3293 by @Veritas-7, whose metadata half never landed while its
pricing half did.

On dev, src/usage/expected-prices.ts asserts an expected price for
claude-fable-5-1 on four surfaces, but neither scripts/model-metadata.source.json
nor the anthropic array of src/generated/model-metadata.ts knew the model
existed. The pricing rows arrived through unrelated commits that happened to
touch expected-prices.ts; #3293 is the only source of the metadata, and it is
still open. Pricing without metadata is the wrong half to have.

The generated file is regenerated from the source entry rather than hand-edited,
which is what keeps the two consistent:

  ["claude-fable-5-1",1000000,128000,"text,image",1,null,10,50,0.25,12.5]

Note cacheRead 0.25, not the 1 that claude-fable-5 carries: Fable 5.1's published
cache-hit rate is 0.025x base input, which the existing expected-prices rows
already encode.

The PR's own test update comes with it. Adding the jawcode row changes where the
price resolves from — src/usage/cost.ts prefers an exact jawcode provider-bundle
row over the expected-price overlay — so the assertion moves from
source: "expected" to source: "jawcode" with jawcodeProvider: "anthropic", and
the overlay is asserted directly instead of through sourceRef. The resolved
cost4 is identical either way; only the provenance label changes.

Verification: bun run typecheck, bun test ./tests/usage-cost.test.ts (82 pass),
bun run test:changed (10752 pass / 0 fail across 569 files). Repository-wide
suite not run.

* docs(credits): record #3284 as carried work

Closes the gap issue #3431 opened at @Ingwannu's request.

The Gemini 3.8 Flash Antigravity work first submitted by @mdwsk88 in #3284 landed
on dev via #3286 (3d3c4fe), and #3284 was closed as superseded rather than
merged — so the contributor graph shows nothing. CREDITS.md exists for exactly
that case.

The file sets two bars and both are met. It says "If you find a landing that
belongs on this page, open an issue"; #3431 is that issue. It also says entries
cite the maintainer's own words and are never inferred from diff similarity; the
quoted text is verbatim from @Ingwannu's closing comment on #3284.

Verified independently rather than taken from the issue body: 3d3c4fe is an
ancestor of origin/dev and is the #3286 merge, #3284 is CLOSED and not merged,
and src/providers/antigravity-models.ts on dev names gemini-3.8-flash 16 times,
so the suffix ladder that PR argued for is what shipped.

Verification: bun run privacy:scan passed (it reads CREDITS.md); table renders
with the existing column alignment.

* feat(codex): name the Ultra Fast tier, and move the account actions out of the page head

Two halves of issue #3429, plus the page-head relief the same surface needed.

PR #2994 added an ultrafast row to the pinned catalog and was closed unmerged:
the picker gained a choice the wire could not honor. That verdict stands and is
why nothing here synthesizes a catalog row. src/codex/data/upstream-models.json
advertises exactly one tier — priority — on every row that has any, so an
ultrafast entry would still be fabricated metadata.

What is separately true is the half #3429 actually reports. A caller who supplies
service_tier: "ultrafast" themselves gets the request forwarded, and then
canonicalFastTierMarker folds it to undefined, fastIntent goes false, and the
attempt is recorded as fastOutcome "not-requested" — the log asserting the user
asked for nothing. requestLogSpeedLabel returns undefined for the same value, so
the Logs speed column stays empty. The proxy was carrying a tier it refused to
name.

canonicalFastTierMarker now folds ultrafast to its own canonical rather than onto
priority, which would have been the opposite lie: claiming a 1.5x Fast tier when
the caller named a different one. There is deliberately no canonicalToWire entry,
so an ultrafast attempt lands on "unknown" instead of a false "applied" — the
truth is that it was requested and we cannot confirm it was honored.

The ultraFastTier flag follows the fastRows precedent exactly: optional, catch(false)
so a malformed hand edit degrades to off, read with === true, and off deletes the
key rather than persisting a false nobody chose. Its dashboard toggle gets the
boolean guard in config-routes.ts that fastRows never needed.

The page head carried a title, a status line, the Spark toggle and two buttons on
one row, with the account actions sitting above the cards they act on. Pause and
Refresh move to their own row below the account-mode banner. The embedded
Providers surface keeps them inline: it renders a bare .row with no title, so
there is nothing to crowd there.

Verification: bun run typecheck, bun run lint:gui, 408 focused backend tests
including the byte-golden default-path guard in fastwire-characterization-routing,
and the GUI head-wrap, toast-tone, controller and locale-parity suites. Live on a
scratch instance: the head shows only the title and Spark toggle, the two actions
render below, the toggle reads OFF by default, and enabling it writes
ultraFastTier: true to config.json. Repository-wide suite not run.

* fix(codex): make the Ultra Fast flag actually do something

Self-review caught the flag stored but never read: `grep ultraFastTier src/`
outside config/types/routes returned nothing, so the toggle persisted a
preference and changed no behavior. Shipping a switch whose description promises
the tier survives regeneration, while nothing consumes it, would be the #2994
failure in a new place — a control that implies an effect it does not have.

normalizeRoutedCatalogEntry now consults the flag. With it OFF the four deletes
run exactly as before. With it ON the row keeps an ultrafast the OPERATOR put in
their own catalog, which is the reported symptom: #3429's reporter hand-edited
opencodex-catalog.json and watched every regeneration delete it.

Preserving is narrowed, not blanket. retainOnlyUltraFastTier keeps the ultrafast
entry and drops everything else, because routed rows are stripped precisely so a
clone of a native template cannot inherit OpenAI's priority tier — reopening that
under an unrelated flag would be a worse bug than the one being fixed. A
service_tier or default_service_tier naming a tier the row no longer carries is
dropped for the same reason. And a row carrying only upstream's Fast is still
stripped with the flag ON: there is no ultrafast to preserve, and inventing one

boolean through all of them would be a far larger change than the behavior it
gates. Callers holding a config can still pass opts.ultraFastTier explicitly,
which is what the new tests do, and a read failure degrades to OFF.

Four new tests cover both states, including the two refusals: the flag never

Verification: bun run typecheck, bun run lint:gui, 340 focused catalog/fastwire
tests including the byte golden, 10 in ultrafast-tier-honesty, and
bun run test:changed at 14419 pass / 0 fail across 785 files.

* fix(fastwire): forward an unmapped canonical tier instead of dropping it

Adversarial review found that the previous commit made the reported problem
worse, and that every suite still passed while it did.

Recognising ultrafast as a canonical marker routed it into the canonical-wire
lookup in decideTier. That lookup is keyed by canonicalToWire, which maps only
priority, so an unmapped canonical fell straight through to { kind: "drop" }.
Measured before and after:

  before   ultrafast -> forward-caller   wire service_tier=ultrafast
  after    ultrafast -> drop             wire service_tier=(absent)

So recognition was strictly worse than leaving the tier unrecognised: it used to
be a foreign tier, and foreignCallerTiers "verbatim" forwarded it untouched. The
operator's hand-configured tier stopped reaching the provider entirely, and the
new "ultrafast" speed label became unreachable on the Responses path because
tierValueAfterDecision had already cleared the value. That is the exact symptom
#3429 reported, reintroduced by the fix for it.

An unmapped canonical now falls through to the foreign-tier rules rather than
dropping.

Second finding, same root cause: callerCanonicalFast was widened to "any marker",
which made a fastMode:false request from an ultrafast caller record
callerFastSuppressedByConfig. The Fast toggle did not suppress a 1.5x Fast
request; it turned away a differently-named one. The predicate is back to
=== "priority" for the drop/suppression facts, and only fastIntent carries the
wider fast-family question.

Third: ultraFastTierOptIn called loadConfig() per catalog row, and
normalizeRoutedCatalogEntry runs in a per-entry sync loop — that is a chmod, three
secret hardenings, a file read and a full Zod parse per row. It is memoized with a
5s TTL plus a reset seam; callers holding a config still pass opts.ultraFastTier
and bypass it entirely.

Fourth: the expected-prices comment claiming claude-fable-5-1 has no jawcode row
was made stale by 21cb149, which added exactly that row.

Five new tests cover what the previous suite could not see: the wire decision
itself, and the suppression-vs-dropped distinction. The old tests all passed
against the broken behavior because none of them asserted decideTier.

Verification: bun run typecheck, bun run lint:gui, 720 focused fastwire/catalog/
request-log/usage tests, and bun run test:changed at 14466 pass / 0 fail across
787 files.

Closes out devlog/_plan/260904_triage_gap_closure with what actually shipped and
the landing SHAs: PR #3478 (3a9c4d2) carried all three gaps, and #3293, #3431
and #3429 are closed citing it.

The part worth keeping is the review round. The first Ultra Fast implementation
passed every suite and was wrong: recognising ultrafast as a canonical marker
routed it into decideTier's canonicalToWire lookup, which maps only priority, so
an unmapped canonical fell through to drop and the tier stopped reaching the
provider — where previously, as a foreign tier, it was forwarded verbatim.
Recognition made the reported problem worse.

Every listed suite stayed green because they unit-tested the two edited functions
in isolation and never asserted the wire decision, and the byte golden pins
catalog bytes rather than the caller routing path. Two lessons recorded: a test
of the functions you edited is not a test of the behavior you changed, and
widening a predicate that serves three questions silently changes the other two.

Also records what was deliberately NOT done — Ultra Fast is still absent from the
model picker, because upstream advertises only priority and a catalog row would
offer a speed the wire cannot deliver, which is what PR #2994 was closed for.

This document describes carried work whose code already landed in #3478 with the
trailer. Repeating it here keeps the contributor graph correct for a body that
names #3293 as carried.
