Subject: [PATCH 01/13] fix(catalog): write every slug exactly once from
 retained sync (#4730)

One 2.56.0 sync produced 507 catalog rows for 72 unique slugs: the
model-alias slug (e.g. CC-x) and the canonical routed slug
(command-code/x) of the same provider model both survive
mergeCatalogEntriesFromObservedState, because slugEquivalenceKey treats a
slash-less alias as an exact key and never unifies it with the routed
key. Every duplicate row was byte-identical, so the guard keeps the
first occurrence and leaves distinct slugs untouched.

- dedupeCatalogEntriesBySlug runs on the merged list before the write
  and warns with the dropped count when it had to act
- inert for catalogs that are already unique; order preserved; rows
  without a string slug pass through

Subject: [PATCH 02/13] test(catalog): real-sync regression and
 divergent-duplicate warning for #4730

Review follow-up on #4736: cover the write guard through the real
syncCatalogModels path and surface content divergence instead of a
silent first-win.

- integration test runs the actual sync twice in isolated
  CODEX_HOME/OPENCODEX_HOME with the reported config shape (provider
  alias CC + modelAliases mappings) and asserts the written catalog
  has unique slugs, keeps the routed rows, and is idempotent
- the dedup warning now names slugs whose dropped row differed from
  the kept row (safe-labeled, capped at 5) so disagreeing emit paths
  are visible instead of silently losing content

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] test(catalog): assert the alias slug survives the real
 sync pass
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CodeRabbit follow-up: the integration fixture omitted the OpenAI forward
provider, so includeNativeOpenAi was false and the merge dropped every
slash-less baseline row before the write guard ran. With the forward
surface present, the CC- alias row and its command-code/ canonical twin
both survive — once each — and the test now proves it on both passes.
Idempotence is asserted on the slug sequence: native row bodies refresh
between passes, so full-row equality is not the invariant this suite
owns.

Subject: [PATCH 04/13] fix(catalog): run the slug guard at the write boundary

The dedupe ran before `clampCatalogModelsToCodexSupport`, which splices whole
rows out of the array (src/codex/catalog/effort.ts:490) when an exact-reserve
ladder clamps empty. With divergent duplicates that ordering can erase a slug
entirely: first-win drops the row the clamp would have kept, then the clamp
removes the one that survived. Moving the guard after the clamp and after
`finalizeAutoReviewModelOverride` makes it the last mutation before
serialization, so uniqueness holds for the exact bytes written.

The divergence report also compared each row against the LAST occurrence of its
slug, because the Map constructor keeps the last duplicate key, while the guard
keeps the first. Build the baseline first-win so the reported divergence is
measured against the row that actually lands on disk.

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] test(catalog): make the sync fixture a real executable

createCodexCatalogFixture wrote the POSIX launcher without the executable bit
and had no Windows branch, so CODEX_CLI_PATH pointed at something that cannot
run. The bundled-catalog loader catches the spawn failure and tries the next
candidate, which means the test would go green while reading whatever Codex
binary the host happens to have installed. Match the established sibling
(tests/codex-integration/codex-catalog-sync-hardening.test.ts): chmod 0755 on
POSIX, .cmd wrapper on Windows. Also drops the two unused node:fs imports.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] test(layout): register the two new catalog tests in
 both layout maps

AGENTS.md requires a new test file in scripts/test-layout/layout.json and
tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json. The regex seed for catalog-* already
resolves both files to codex-integration, so the guard was green without this,
but the explicit table and its fixture oracle are what keep a renamed or moved
file honest. Both maps stay byte-identical, which is what the membership oracle
asserts.

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] fix(catalog): apply the #4730 slug guard at both
 catalog write boundaries

#4736 guarded \`writeRetainedCatalogSync\` only. \`buildConvergedCatalog\`
(src/codex/convergence.ts) runs the same \`mergeCatalogEntriesFromObservedState\`
and the same \`finalizeAutoReviewModelOverride\`, then commits through
\`fixedCommit\` -> \`replaceActiveCodexCatalog\`. Every dashboard model toggle,
combo edit, and Codex account login reaches that writer via
\`convergeCodexCatalog\` and never touches the sync path, so the same
\`source-invalid\` rejection stayed reachable through the management API.

Move the guard into ./aggregation so both writers apply one rule, and keep the
convergence call silent because that merge already runs under
\`warningPolicy: "suppress"\`. The guard returns the input array untouched when
the catalog is already unique, so the byte-identical no-op write optimisation in
retained-sync is unaffected.

Also drops the producer claim from the doc comment. \`modelAliases\` does not
emit a second row: src/codex/catalog/routed-gather.ts builds \`aliasDisplayNames\`
and stamps \`displayName\`, while the slug stays \`routedSlug(provider, id)\`, so
the aliased/canonical pair the comment described is not something the merge can
produce. The reported 507-rows-for-72-slugs catalog is real; the named cause is
not, and a guard that only covered a guessed producer would leave the file
corruptible by the next one. Stated as a write-boundary invariant instead.

Subject: [PATCH 10/13] fix(bridge): separate declared-tool enforcement from
 declared-tool normalization
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

#4735 disabled the undeclared-tool guard on the chat and Anthropic wires by
passing \`declaredToolNames: undefined\`. That set is not only the authorization
boundary — it is also the catalog \`normalizeDeclaredToolName\` and
\`declaresCodeModeExec\` read (src/types/tools.ts:84,138). Both return the input
unchanged when it is undefined, so on those two wires a provider that invents
\`default.lookup\` for a declared \`lookup\` would have reached the client under
the invented name, and code-mode helper rewriting (#4176, #4412) would have
stopped. That is a new failure on the happy path, not the removal of one.

Carry the fix as an explicit \`enforceDeclaredToolNames\` flag instead. The set
keeps flowing to the bridge on every wire; only the membership refusal is
scoped. Chat and Anthropic relay the call and leave execution or refusal to the
client runner, which is what those specs require; \`responses\` keeps failing
closed exactly as #1700 left it.

Also drops the \`declaredToolNames.size > 0\` condition the PR added. An
explicitly empty catalog is a statement that no client tool may be called, which
is how the passthrough guard already reads it (\`clientExplicitWireToolCatalog\`,
src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts:441); making it mean "unrestricted"
would have loosened the Responses wire too, well outside the reported failure.

The passthrough scoping is reverted to today's behaviour and left out of this
release. \`undeclaredToolGuardActive\` gates \`normalizeDefaultNamespaceInResponse\`
and the continuation-state suppression as well as the 502
(src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts:500,546,557), so the same
conflation applies there — and the reported failure is on the bridged path: a
Command Code \`openai-chat\` provider never reaches a passthrough adapter. Fixing
it needs the same split plus coverage, with no user report behind it yet.

Subject: [PATCH 12/13] docs(structure): record which inbound wires enforce
 declared-tool membership

Scoping the membership refusal off the chat and Anthropic wires reverses part of
#1700, so it is written down rather than left for the next reader to infer from
a ternary. Both owning docs get the contract in the present tense.

transports/responses.md states the whole rule: the declared set reaches the
bridge on every wire because it is also the catalog normalizeDeclaredToolName
and declaresCodeModeExec read, enforcement is the separate
enforceDeclaredToolNames flag, only the responses wire enforces, an explicitly
empty catalog still authorizes nothing where enforcement applies, and the
passthrough guard is not wire-scoped because the same flag gates namespace
normalization and continuation-state suppression there.

adapters/compatibility-contracts.md states the consequence for a manifest: the
same provider, base URL, adapter and auth mode answer an identical undeclared
call differently per inbound protocol, so a tool-call disposition names its
inbound protocol. That is the narrow-subject rule that doc already holds.

Neither doc claims the duplicate-slug producer in #4730 is known, and nothing
here closes an issue.

+## Undeclared-tool refusal is an inbound-protocol claim
+
+Whether a routed provider's call to an undeclared tool is refused depends on the inbound protocol,
+not on the adapter or the upstream protocol. The `responses` inbound protocol refuses it and ends
+the turn, which is the #1700 contract. The `chat` and `anthropic` inbound protocols relay it,
+because those specs place validation and execution with the client's own tool runner.
+
+A manifest claiming a disposition for tool-call delivery therefore names its inbound protocol. The
+same provider, base URL, adapter, and authentication mode produce `passthrough` on `chat` and
+`anthropic` and `unsupported` on `responses` for the identical undeclared call, which is exactly
+the inference the narrow-subject rule above exists to prevent.
+
+Tool-name normalization is not scoped this way and runs on every inbound protocol, so a
+provider-invented `default.` namespace resolves back to the declared tool regardless of subject.
+The contract is stated in full in [Responses Transport](../transports/responses.md).

+### Declared-tool membership by inbound wire
+
+`declaredToolNames` carries the request's tool catalog into both bridges, and it does two separate
+jobs that are separately controlled.
+
+Normalization runs on every inbound wire. `normalizeDeclaredToolName` and `declaresCodeModeExec` in
+`src/types/tools.ts` read the same set to map a provider-invented `default.` namespace back to the
+declared bare tool and to rewrite code-mode helper names into the declared `exec`. Both return their
+input unchanged when the set is absent, so the set reaches the bridge on every wire and enforcement
+is expressed by a separate flag rather than by withholding it.
+
+Membership enforcement is that flag, `enforceDeclaredToolNames`, and only the `responses` inbound
+wire enforces. A routed provider that names a tool the request never declared ends the turn there:
+`src/bridge/sse.ts` emits `response.failed` and `src/bridge/response-json.ts` returns a failed
+response, both carrying `undeclared client tool`. That is the #1700 contract and it stands. Codex
+executes a top-level tool call, so a hallucinated `apply_patch` — which under code mode exists only
+as a nested `tools.apply_patch(...)` helper inside `exec` — is refused before it reaches the
+runtime, where it previously surfaced as a bare `aborted` with the file untouched.
+
+The `chat` and `anthropic` inbound wires relay the call instead. This is a deliberate reversal of
+#1700's scope for those two wires, not an oversight. Both vendor specs make the client's own runner
+responsible for validating a tool call and then executing or denying it, and harnesses on those
+endpoints defer part of their catalog to conserve prompt tokens and discover the rest at runtime.
+Enforcing membership against a partial catalog killed those streams mid-turn with a 502 and cost the
+caller the whole turn. This proxy executes no tool call on any wire, so scoping enforcement off
+these two moves the decision to the party that already makes it rather than removing it.
+
+An explicitly empty catalog still authorizes nothing on the wire that enforces. A request declaring
+an empty tool list is making a statement rather than omitting one, which is how the passthrough
+guard reads it through `clientExplicitWireToolCatalog` in
+`src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts`.
+
+The passthrough guard is not wire-scoped. `undeclaredToolGuardActive` gates namespace normalization
+and continuation-state suppression as well as the refusal, and it stands down only for
+`authMode: "forward"` and for a request that declares no catalog at all.
+
+`src/server/responses/run-turn-execution.ts` and `src/server/responses/adapter-delivery.ts` set the
+flag from `inboundWire` on the streaming, buffered, and JSON paths alike, so the three cannot drift.

Subject: [PATCH 13/13] test(responses): move the deferred-tool cases into
 their own file

Appending them to tests/responses/chat-completions-endpoint.test.ts pushed it to
3767 lines against its 3646 cap in tests/fixtures/file-size-baseline.json, and
the ratchet only lowers a cap, so the number cannot be raised and the file
cannot be exempted (scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts: GREW is an offender, SHRANK is
not). The endpoint file returns to 3603.

The two cases move verbatim, with the mock upstream, the isolated CODEX_HOME
setup and the mock provider config they need, so the new file stands alone at
232 lines and is NEW_OK rather than a new baseline entry. Registered in
scripts/test-layout/layout.json explicit and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json;
both maps stay byte-identical, which is what the membership oracle asserts.
