Summary

  • Routed catalog rows are cloned from a native template, and deriveEntry already drops the template's context-window fields for them ([Bug]: Routed models inherit native template context_window when /models omits context metadata #992). It kept the template's comp_hash, so a routed row carried whatever the chosen native row had: "3000" from a current snapshot, or "opencodex" when the template came from an older catalog backup without the field and normalization filled in its default.
  • Which native row becomes the template can change between rebuilds that touch nothing routed. Routed models' comp_hash inherits from whichever native row is catalog-first, forcing unrelated compaction on every routed thread #5796 shows a provider registration and a later dashboard write flipping every routed row between "3000" and "opencodex". Codex compacts a thread before its next turn when the comp_hash recorded for the previous turn and the current one are both set and differ ([codex] Compact when comp_hash changes openai/codex#27520), so each flip compacted every active routed thread, at 12 to 30% context fill in the report.
  • The clone now drops comp_hash beside the context window, so normalization gives the row the same "opencodex" marker it already gives any row without a hash. The value no longer depends on the template. The 110 closure notes list "routed normalization also needed to strip native comp_hash" as done in 100.4, but neither commit they cite touches the field.
  • Rows kept from disk skip deriveEntry. While a provider's discovery is degraded, the merge keeps that provider's rows as the catalog last wrote them, so a catalog written before this fix could keep "3000" on them until the provider recovered. The merge's pass over kept rows now sets "opencodex" on opencodex rows. Custom rows, Codex-forward aliases included, are rebuilt from config and never kept, and rows written by other tools keep their own value.
  • Unchanged: a Codex-forward capability alias (the canonical Daybreak row, for example) still takes its pinned native entry's hash, and account-bound native rows keep the native hash, as their existing tests require.
  • Behaviour to know about: a routed row's "opencodex" differs from a native row's own hash, so moving one thread between a native model and a routed one compacts at the switch. Before, that depended on which template the last rebuild used. A routed thread whose last turn recorded a native value such as "3000" compacts once on its first turn after the upgrade.
  • Docs: the routed-template entry in structure/catalog.md.

Closes #5796

Verification

On dev at ed181a0d0, the base of this PR, with the pinned Bun 1.4.0 (node_modules/.bin/bun), at head b508258ed:

  • Driven red first, for both cases in tests/codex-integration/catalog-routed-comp-hash.test.ts. The first builds the catalog from templates carrying "3000", "2911" and no comp_hash, and expects "opencodex" on the routed row each time; before the first commit it returned "3000". The second keeps a routed row carrying "3000" through a merge with its provider's discovery degraded and expects "opencodex"; before the second commit it returned "3000". A row another tool wrote under the same provider must keep "3000", and a deliberately broken build that resets every kept row fails that assertion.
  • The new file with the catalog files that keep rows from disk or read comp_hash (codex-catalog, codex-catalog-sync-hardening, catalog-full-picker-order, catalog-retain-models, reserve-catalog, codex-v2-gate, codex-catalog-ladders, codex-tool-mode): 601 pass, 0 fail. tests/test-layout.test.ts, tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts and tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts: 27 pass, 0 fail.
  • Full suite on this head, sliced the way scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh shards CI since ci: release preflight, separate release outcomes, duration-balanced shards, narrow scope checks #5653 (duration-balanced batches of at most 12 files, bun test --isolate --timeout 60000, CI=true): every batch of shards 1/4 to 4/4 across 1638 files, past failing batches, the four shards in parallel on one macOS machine with a 300 s kill deadline per batch. The machine was shared with another heavy job (load average between 140 and 450). 29903 pass and 8 fail, and two batches hit the deadline.
    • Both killed batches pass when run alone (238 and 684 tests, the second holding codex-catalog.test.ts), and so does the batch of codex-shim.test.ts, which had 3 failures in the parallel run.
    • codex-runtime.test.ts (treats missing persisted and resolved versions as the same selection) and the provider-option integration spine in openai-provider-option-e2e.test.ts fail the same way on untouched dev at ed181a0d0 when run alone.
    • codex-shim-destroyed-probe.test.ts passes alone on this head and on dev. ci-review-lanes.test.ts passes alone on this head and hit its 30 s test timeout alone on dev. The stall-observer case in macos-serial-lanes.test.ts failed alone on both at that load.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan and git diff --check: passed.

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Routed catalog entries now use a consistent opencodex marker instead of inheriting a marker from the selected native template. This keeps the displayed catalog data consistent across different templates, including when the template has no marker set.

Routed rows are cloned from whichever native row a rebuild picks as the
template, and they kept its comp_hash. The template can change between
rebuilds that touch nothing routed, and Codex compacts a thread whenever
the comp_hash of consecutive turns differs, so every active routed thread
compacted on its next turn.

The clone now drops comp_hash beside the context window, and
normalization gives the row the "opencodex" marker. Codex-forward
capability aliases and account-bound native rows keep the native value.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Routed catalog entries no longer retain an unrelated native template’s comp_hash. During degraded-provider merges, retained OpenCodex-authored rows receive the "opencodex" marker, while foreign imported rows keep their existing values.

Changes

Routed catalog comp_hash

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize hashes on derived routed entries
src/codex/catalog/derive-entry.ts, structure/catalog.md, tests/codex-integration/catalog-routed-comp-hash.test.ts
deriveEntry removes the cloned template’s comp_hash for routed entries without a Codex-forward native capability alias. The documentation describes the marker, and an integration test checks the result for native template hashes of "3000", "2911", and no hash.
Normalize retained rows during catalog merging
src/codex/catalog/build-entries.ts, tests/codex-integration/catalog-routed-comp-hash.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
During a degraded-provider merge, retained OpenCodex-authored rows that are not native aliases receive "opencodex". The integration test checks that a foreign imported row retains "3000". Both test-layout mappings include the test.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b5082

The change is mergeable with owner awareness: a legacy Codex-forward row may compact a thread once during degraded provider discovery.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b5082

The change makes routed-model catalog values stable across rebuilds. It may cause a one-time compaction for an existing thread whose previous turn recorded a different value, but the review found no new access path or material security-control change.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The affected scope is catalog metadata for newly built or retained routed models and the threads that use those values. The reviewed test does not expand production reachability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Retained-row selection still uses existing provider-state and authorship checks. The hash rewrite skips native aliases and rows not classified as OpenCodex-authored; a foreign-row fixture retains its hash.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If imported catalog rows can carry untrusted descriptions, consider using verified provenance rather than a description prefix to authorize retained-row rewrites. This is a boundary-hardening proposal, not a verified exploit introduced by the PR.

이 PR은 라우팅된 모델 줄이 남의 압축 표식을 물려받지 않게 합니다. 베이스는 dev입니다. 같은 수정의 다른 열린 PR은 없습니다.

카탈로그를 다시 만들 때 local/qwen3-coder 같은 줄은 네이티브 GPT 줄 하나를 복사합니다. 어느 줄을 복사하는지는 다시 만들 때마다 바뀔 수 있습니다. 복사본이 comp_hash를 그대로 두면 값이 "3000"과 "opencodex" 사이를 오갑니다. Codex는 직전 턴과 이번 턴의 이 값이 둘 다 있고 서로 다르면, 맥락이 얼마나 찼는지와 상관없이 그 스레드를 압축합니다. 라우팅 모델을 쓰는 스레드가 이유 없이 압축된 일이 #5796입니다.

고친 곳은 deriveEntry입니다. 라우팅 줄이고, Daybreak처럼 네이티브 능력을 고정한 별칭이 아니면, 복사 직후 comp_hash를 지웁니다. 값이 없으면 ensureStrictCatalogFields가 "opencodex"를 넣습니다. 다시 만들 때마다 같은 글자입니다. 계정에 묶인 네이티브 줄과 Codex로 그대로 보내는 별칭은 네이티브 값을 유지합니다. structure/catalog.md에 그 내용을 적었습니다.

업그레이드 다음, 마지막 턴에 "3000"이 적힌 라우팅 스레드는 카탈로그가 "opencodex"로 바뀐 첫 턴에서 한 번 압축됩니다. 그 다음 턴부터는 값이 같습니다.

라인 - src/codex/catalog/parsing.ts 634행 — comp_hash가 이미 문자열이면 그 문자열을 둡니다. 지우는 코드는 줄을 새로 만들 때만 탑니다 (src/codex/catalog/derive-entry.ts 151행). 공급자가 고장 나서 디스크의 줄을 살리는 길은 deriveEntry를 안 탑니다 (src/codex/catalog/build-entries.ts 747행). 디스크에 "3000"이 있으면 그 값이 남습니다. 634행 바로 아래 주석은, 같은 이유로 자격 필드는 이 함수에서 지운다고 적습니다. 새로 만들 때만 지우면, 다시 만들어지지 않는 줄에는 옛 값이 남습니다. comp_hash는 그 지우는 목록에 없습니다. 커스텀 모델 줄은 고장이어도 설정에서 다시 만듭니다. 남는 쪽은 provider-model-v1처럼 보통 공급자 줄이 고장 난 동안, 그리고 우리가 만들지 않은 외부 줄입니다.

라인 - tests/codex-integration/catalog-routed-comp-hash.test.ts 25행 — 템플릿의 해시를 "3000", "2911", 없음으로 바꿔 새 카탈로그를 만듭니다. 세 번 다 "opencodex"입니다. 디스크에 "3000"이 이미 있는 줄을 살리는 경우는 없습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

모든 라우팅 줄이 같은 "opencodex"를 써도 되는지입니다. 이 값은 압축 방식이 바뀌었는지를 보는 표식입니다. 하나를 쓰면 라우팅 모델끼리 바꿔도 압축이 일어나지 않습니다. 이슈에 적힌 예시처럼 제공자와 모델마다 다른 값을 주면, 모델을 바꿀 때마다 압축됩니다. 지금 선택한 쪽이 이번 버그에는 맞습니다.

고장 난 공급자 줄에 남은 "3000"을 다음 카탈로그 쓰기에서 "opencodex"로 맞출지도 정해 주세요. 맞추면 그 줄도 다음 쓰기에서 정리됩니다. 그대로 두면, 공급자가 다시 정상으로 만들어질 때 한 번 바뀌고 그때 압축됩니다. Daybreak 같은 네이티브 별칭, 계정에 묶인 네이티브 줄, 우리가 만들지 않은 외부 줄은 별도로 봐 주세요.

이 PR은 초안입니다. 준비 체크 네 칸은 비어 있습니다. CodeRabbit은 초안이라 리뷰를 건너뛰었습니다. 검증 과정은 본문에 있습니다. 전체 테스트 3건 실패가 손대지 않은 dev에서도 난다는 말은 이 리뷰에서 확인하지 않았습니다.

너의 추천

방향은 맞습니다. 베이스는 dev입니다. 닫을 중복 PR은 없습니다. 새로 만드는 라우팅 줄이 템플릿 해시를 버리는 수정은 그대로 두세요.

넣기 전에, 우리가 만든 공급자 줄이고 네이티브 별칭이 아닌 행만 ensureStrictCatalogFields에서 comp_hash를 "opencodex"로 맞추세요. 외부 줄과 네이티브 별칭은 그대로 두세요. 테스트는 디스크에 "3000"이 있는 그 줄을 살렸을 때도 "opencodex"가 되는지 한 건 추가하면 됩니다. 체크리스트를 채운 뒤에 초안을 푸세요.

Comment thread structure/catalog.md Outdated
A provider whose discovery is degraded keeps its routed rows from the
catalog on disk. Those rows skip deriveEntry, so one written before the
previous commit could still carry a template's comp_hash until the
provider recovered.

The merge now sets "opencodex" on the opencodex rows it keeps. Custom
rows, Codex-forward aliases included, are rebuilt from config and never
reach that pass, and rows written by other tools keep their own value.

Hi @FredAmartey — good catch, and the causal chain in the summary is the useful part: template choice varies with rebuild order → comp_hash moves → Codex compacts every active routed thread. That's the kind of bug that looks like flaky behaviour until someone traces it.

Verified the mechanism rather than assuming it. delete e.comp_hash only helps because normalization fills the gap:

// parsing.ts:634
if (typeof entry.comp_hash !== "string") entry.comp_hash = "opencodex";

So a deleted field becomes the stable marker rather than staying absent. Worth knowing those two lines are a pair — a future change that makes normalization preserve undefined would silently reopen this.

Also checked the gating, since it looked like it might be too narrow:

if (!codexForwardNativeCapabilityAlias) { … delete e.comp_hash; }

The forward-alias path still inherits, and that's right — the comment two blocks down says "This exact provider/model pair is the ChatGPT/Codex forward surface", so it's a pinned row rather than "whichever native row a rebuild found first". The instability the fix targets doesn't apply there. Not a gap.

The suggestion

This is the second field in that block to need deleting for the same reason — context_window and friends went for #992, comp_hash goes now. The shared shape is: a field that normalizeRoutedCatalogEntry doesn't own, which normalization would default correctly if it were absent, but which isn't absent because it came in on the clone.

Your test pins comp_hash. A test one level up would pin the whole class:

build the same routed row from two different native templates, and assert the resulting entries are identical.

That fails today for comp_hash, would have failed in #992 for the context fields, and fails automatically for whatever the third one turns out to be — without anyone having to notice the pattern again. The templates differing in the field under test is exactly the condition that makes the bug appear, so it's a faithful reproduction rather than a synthetic one.

Cheap to add alongside what you have, and it converts "we found another one" into "CI found another one".

catalog-routed-comp-hash.test.ts passes locally. Nothing blocking.

The kept-row case is in b508258ed. The merge's pass over rows kept from disk now sets "opencodex" on opencodex rows. I put it there rather than in ensureStrictCatalogFields because fresh Codex-forward rows also pass through that function, carry the same Routed via opencodex → description and keep their native value on purpose. Custom rows, those aliases included, are rebuilt from config and never reach the kept-row pass, and rows written by other tools keep their own value. The new test keeps a "3000" row through a degraded merge and gets "opencodex", while a foreign row beside it keeps "3000".

Approved on exact head b508258ed14f8fac5e374dcdb00fe435ff185c03.

Newly derived routed rows no longer inherit a native template's moving comp_hash, and degraded-discovery recovery normalizes only retained OpenCodex-authored routed rows. Codex-forward aliases and foreign rows remain untouched.

Focused validation under a 2-CPU / 4 GiB cgroup passed: 2 tests, 0 failures. The regression covers both template-independent derivation and retained rows during provider outage. I found no remaining blocker.

Verified for merge into dev on exact head b508258ed14f8fac5e374dcdb00fe435ff185c03:

  • Hosted CI: Cross-platform CI run 36084667239 (pull_request) completed success. The Windows/macOS/docs/privacy jobs are path-skipped on PRs.
  • Local, on dev ed181a0d0c with this head merged: the new test plus both layout guards, 20 pass / 0 fail; codex-catalog.test.ts 338 pass; bun run typecheck exit 0; bun run privacy:scan passed. test:changed failures reproduce on plain dev or pass on an isolated rerun under machine load, so none is caused by this change.
  • Independent review: no High or Critical findings.

Low follow-ups, non-blocking: "opencodex" is duplicated from the normalizer default (parsing.ts:634), so a shared constant would keep them from drifting. A combo native-alias row kept from disk still carries its inherited comp_hash (build-entries.ts:785 skip). structure/catalog.md:61 could name the Codex-forward and combo alias paths separately.
