Conversation
… models The Codex model picker order is driven solely by config.subagentModels, which the dashboard write path (PUT /api/subagent-models) hard-caps at 5 via .slice(0, 5). That list is also the only input the catalog builder uses to assign per-model priority: featured slugs get 0..N-1, and every other routed row falls through to the flat default (5), so a catalog with more than 5 routed models has an undefined picker order that reshuffles on each rebuild (ocx sync / service restart / upgrade). Add an optional config.modelPickerOrder: string[] that assigns a deterministic priority band to non-featured routed rows, independent of the 5-slot spawn_agent candidate cap (subagentModels keeps its existing semantics). Listed slugs sort in declared order right after any featured rows; unlisted rows keep their mutual order but sort after the listed ones. When modelPickerOrder is unset or empty the priority helper is a no-op and every assignment is byte-identical to before (the codex-catalog golden oracle still passes unchanged). No config-schema change: the top-level config schema is passthrough, like subagentModels. Fixes lidge-jun#1649

…window Address CodeRabbit review on lidge-jun#1666. The first revision gave every non-featured row (listed or not) a low picker-order band, which meant a listed row could enter the first MAX_SPAWN_AGENT_MODEL_OVERRIDES catalog rows and displace a spawn_agent candidate when subagentModels had fewer than five entries. Reserve a high priority tier (PICKER_ORDER_PRIORITY_BASE, in the same 1_000+ neighborhood account rows already use) for rows explicitly listed in modelPickerOrder, and only touch listed rows. Featured rows keep their 0..N-1 front band and any default routed/native rows keep their low priority, so the spawn_agent candidate window is populated by featured + default rows and is not reordered by modelPickerOrder. Rows not listed keep their original priority. Add a regression test: with zero featured models, picker-order-only rows do not displace default-tier spawn_agent candidates.

…oundary Address the second CodeRabbit review on lidge-jun#1666. The doc claimed modelPickerOrder accepted bare native and account-qualified ids, but the implementation only reorders generic routed <provider>/<model> rows. Rather than widen the reorder into the native / account-qualified priority paths (distinct logic, larger blast radius, and outside the feature's target surface), narrow the documented contract to what is implemented: routed slugs only. Native ordering stays with subagentModels. Add a regression test proving a bare native slug listed in modelPickerOrder does not reorder its native passthrough row, while a routed slug still lands in the high picker tier.

Addressed in 4baa12c.

…idates Addresses the outside-diff review on lidge-jun#1666. Earlier revisions tried to keep modelPickerOrder from changing spawn_agent candidates by placing listed rows in a high priority band, but that fails when every routed row is listed: the default tier empties out and effectiveSubagentRoster then selects the reordered rows, changing candidate membership. Properly decouple the two concerns. modelPickerOrder now rewrites only the Codex-visible display `priority`; each moved row records its natural priority in a new OpenCodex-private catalog field (opencodex_spawn_priority). The spawn_agent candidate window in effectiveSubagentRoster ranks by that natural priority when present, so the candidate SET is provably unchanged no matter how the picker is reordered — even reversing all rows. Codex ignores the unknown field (same as opencodex_catalog_kind), so this is invisible to Codex and purely a user-facing picker-display feature. Add a decisive regression: six routed rows listed in reverse order produce the same candidate set as no ordering at all.

Addressed in 83b2839 — you were right, and the reversed-order example was the decisive case my priority-band approach could not satisfy. I properly decoupled the two concerns instead of tuning the band further:
Added the exact regression you asked for: six routed rows listed in reverse |
|
Superseded by #1669, which squashes the exploratory history into a single commit of the final decoupled implementation (display-only modelPickerOrder + opencodex_spawn_priority so the spawn_agent candidate set is provably unchanged). Same net diff, same tests. |

What
Add an optional
config.modelPickerOrder: string[]that gives a deterministic,rebuild-stable order to the whole Codex model picker, independent of the 5-slot
subagentModelsspawn_agent cap.Fixes #1649.
Why
Picker priority is assigned only from
config.subagentModels, and the dashboardwrite path (
PUT /api/subagent-models) hard-caps that list at 5 with.slice(0, 5). InbuildCatalogEntriesFromObservedState, featured slugs getpriority
0..N-1; every other routed row falls through to the flat default(
5). So for a catalog with more than 5 routed models the relative order isundefined and reshuffles on each rebuild (
ocx sync,ocx servicerestart,version upgrade). The only workaround is a post-sync script that rewrites every
model's
priorityin the generated catalog, which is brittle and must re-runafter every rebuild. Issue #1649 has the full analysis.
The issue also notes the 5-cap conflates two concerns: the real upstream
MAX_MODEL_OVERRIDES_IN_SPAWN_AGENT = 5limit, and the purely-visual pickerordering (
priorityis just an integer sort key with no upstream limit).Design / why opt-in
modelPickerOrderis a separate, uncapped ordering field (option 1 in theissue). It does NOT widen the spawn_agent candidate set;
subagentModelskeepsits 5-slot semantics and its existing top-priority band.
subagentModels): unchanged, still0..N-1.modelPickerOrder(and not featured): sorted in declared order,in a band right after the featured one.
modelPickerOrder: the helper is a no-op; every priority isbyte-identical to before.
The
codex-cataloggolden oracle (tests/codex-catalog-golden.test.ts)snapshots exact per-slug priorities and still passes unchanged, proving the
default path is untouched.
