Problem

Claude Desktop runs Ultracode at any effort, for example "High · Ultracode". In T3 Code, Ultracode was an effort level that always ran at xhigh. Claude Code 2.1.284+ supports Ultracode at any effort, and a no-prompt probe on CLI 2.1.312 confirmed High and Medium with Ultracode on.

Change

  • Ultracode is its own On/Off option, on web and mobile. On web it is a button beside Standard and Fast in the model picker footer, and the composer shows a Workflow icon for it, like the Fast bolt.
  • model-manifest.json keeps the old ultracode effort level, because released servers read it from main. ClaudeModelCatalog turns that level into the toggle, for built-in and custom models. The manifest now recommends Claude Code 2.1.284, the first release that runs Ultracode at any effort.
  • Old effort: "ultracode" selections and delegate_task requests read as Extra High with Ultracode on. Turning Ultracode off sends ultracode: false, so a --settings launch argument cannot keep it on.
  • Workflow hover cards show each agent's model and effort. The workflow itself shows the model it runs on instead of "Not reported".

The old "Ultracode" effort level is gone from the Reasoning list on both:

Verification

  • Tests that fail on the old code: claudeModelOptions.test.ts, model.test.ts, OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts (old effort level), ClaudeModelCatalog.test.ts (custom models), subagentRuntime.test.ts (workflow model fallback).
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip and typecheck pass. CI passes.
  • Screenshots come from the real web app and an iOS simulator with a dev client built from this branch, against a seeded dev database. No paid turn ran.
  • Visual evidence from the takeover pass is in the full index. It is incomplete: 16 of 28 rows were captured.

Risks

  • Claude Code 2.1.280 to 2.1.283 stays supported and gets no update prompt, but may still run Ultracode at xhigh. Users below 2.1.280 are now told to use 2.1.284 or newer. This matches how Codex recommends 0.159 while 0.156 stays supported.
  • https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/26807 changes the same Ultracode code. The PR that merges second needs a small rebase.

A maintainer took this over and cut the tests to one per behaviour.

Created with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code (T3 Code). Probing, screenshots and review used GPT-6.1 Sol.

Takeover

Taken over from @Bil0000 (land round). Main is merged in, and three small server fixes are added on top of the author's commits. Custom Claude models now get the Ultracode toggle in provider discovery and in main-turn execution, not only for subagents. A custom model that defaulted to Ultracode, or offered it without a separate Extra High, keeps Extra High with Ultracode on. Mobile subagent rows keep the reported effort for raw API model ids such as claude-opus-5[1m]. The evidence below replaces the earlier partial index linked above.

Evidence

Each side is the real app from its own checkout on a fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0) with synthetic data. Thread controls were set through the app, legacy selections and subagent/workflow rows were written by a seed script, and no provider turn ran.

R9-summary-expanded visible text: before Opus 5.5 Ultracode (the old effort level), after Opus 5.5 Low · Ultracode.

What else changed:

  • R3/R5: the new footer button and the On/Off group change the popup and menu size and anchoring.
  • R9/R10: the new switch shifts the options below it, and the Reasoning list loses its Ultracode row.
  • R7/R8: the base already showed the model; the change adds effort and Fast.
  • R11 keeps the raw Claude Opus 5[1m] spelling, and its effort shows as the raw low.
  • R8 member without effort: identical at zero threshold.
  • Small iOS status-bar anti-aliasing residue appears in the zero-threshold diffs.
Verification log
  • Review: three rounds, two independent reviewers per round (Codex GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5), mode land.
    • Round 1: custom models missed the toggle in discovery and main turns; mobile rows dropped the effort for raw API model ids. Both fixed in 193ad89c72.
    • Round 2: a custom model that defaulted to Ultracode sent the retired effort. Fixed in 383166aba5.
    • Round 3: a custom model without a separate Extra High lost xhigh. Fixed in 56c2192249.
    • Final verdicts: B MERGE; A's last finding is the one fixed in 56c2192.
  • Tests: 8 focused files, 463 tests pass. Each new regression test fails with its fix reverted. vp run check:changed passes.
  • Proof audit: pass 1 derived the matrix. Pass 2 rebuilt R2 from the uploaded scripts with zero pixel delta. It flagged R3's wording, which is now corrected (the footer fits on one line at 390 px), and R9's composer label, which is now captured with the editor expanded.
  • CI: green on 56c2192. An earlier MessagesTimeline browser-test failure on 383166a was a flake; that file is untouched here and the test passed locally and on the next run.
  • Unverified: native frames were matched 1.8–29.5 s apart rather than 500 ms. No real Claude turn ran on the VM.
  • Takeover by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code (T3 Code), with step agents on Codex GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5.

Valid. Fixed in 7ac00b9: the legacy migration now keeps an explicit ultracode value as given, so "false" reaches invalidOptionSelections and is rejected. Regression assertion in packages/shared/src/model.test.ts.

Explanation

The title "feat(claude): Ultracode works with any effort, like Claude Desktop" matches the main change. The PR makes Ultracode a separate on/off option that works with any effort level (High, Medium, etc.) instead of an effort level that always runs at xhigh. The title is a conventional commit with a plain-language summary and does not list files.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has Problem, Change, Verification, and Risks sections, plus a takeover note and evidence index. The Problem section states the Ultracode mismatch with Claude Desktop and Claude Code 2.1.284+. The Change section lists the toggle, manifest, legacy selection handling, and workflow display changes. The Verification section names focused test files, the check command, and screenshot evidence. The Scope and approval section is missing. The description does not link a triaged bug issue or a discussion with explicit maintainer approval. It also gives no explicit exemption for a small fix. The Ultracode toggle is a new UI behavior and a workflow-related change, so the template says approval is still needed. The Verification section also has an inconsistency: the description says 16 of 28 evidence rows were captured in the earlier index, but the takeover section replaces that index. The author also states that the first-pass evidence is incomplete. The final evidence index covers the current head. The template also asks for the model and harness at the end, and the description includes this line.

Resolution

Add a Scope and approval section. Link the triaged bug issue or the discussion where a maintainer approved the direction and scope, and include the approval comment. The PR objectives show that the maintainer took over the PR, but that does not replace the required approval link. If the change is a focused configuration of an existing capability, explain what already exists, what the toggle controls, and why its effects stay within the Claude model capability. Also state that the 16-of-28 evidence gap is closed by the final index, or remove the stale statement from the Verification section. Keep the Verification section focused on the changed behavior.

Minor · Apply withUltracodeToggle to custom Claude entries. · ClaudeModelCatalog.ts:123-129

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply withUltracodeToggle to custom Claude entries.

Custom entries skip the Ultracode toggle transform. A saved custom model that keeps effort: "ultracode" in its effort select, without a boolean ultracode descriptor, reaches text generation unchanged. In that case ClaudeTextGeneration keeps the raw ultracode effort and omits the Ultracode setting. The legacy selection should map to xhigh with Ultracode on.

Wrap the custom capabilities at insertion:

Suggested fix
     customCatalogModels.push({
       model: {
         slug: entry.slug,
         name: entry.name,
         isCustom: true,
-        capabilities: entry.capabilities,
+        capabilities: withUltracodeToggle(entry.capabilities),

With this change, the boolean ultracode descriptor follows the effort select. getProviderOptionDescriptors then maps the legacy ultracode effort to xhigh with ultracode: true. Explicit ultracode selections are kept. Custom entries without an effort ultracode option are returned unchanged. This change does not address subagent selection.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle legacy Ultracode in claudeSubagentModelSelection.

When effort is "ultracode", the transformed built-in catalog no longer offers that value in the effort descriptor. The selector therefore returns no options. The shared migration does not run on this path, so the subagent loses Ultracode.

Emit effort: "xhigh" and ultracode: true when the catalog contains the boolean descriptor.

Thanks. On the two outside-diff items:

  1. Custom entries skip withUltracodeToggle: valid. Fixed in e8bb4eb. Custom capabilities now go through withUltracodeToggle. The "appends custom models" test in ClaudeModelCatalog.test.ts now asserts that a custom effort with ultracode becomes effort + boolean ultracode. That assertion fails on the old code.

  2. Legacy Ultracode in claudeSubagentModelSelection: not changed, because this path never gets the value "ultracode". effort comes from the Agent tool input, the owner's effort, or compileClaudeModelSelection(...).effort. The compiled effort has already been through the manifest effortMap (ultracode -> xhigh), and Claude Code's Agent tool only sends real effort levels. This matches main, where a subagent also gets xhigh and no Ultracode option.

This assertion checks only descriptor IDs and types. It still passes if the effort descriptor retains ultracode, so it does not verify the main transformation contract. Assert that the effort option IDs are ["gentle", "brutal"] in this existing test. As per path instructions, extend the existing case instead of adding a duplicate test.

- Line 129: Update the custom model capability transformation using
withUltracodeToggle so a legacy effort of ultracode can resolve to xhigh even
when the custom descriptor omits xhigh, rather than falling back to its default
effort. Alternatively, resolve the legacy effort before validating against the
transformed descriptor; add a regression test for a custom descriptor without
xhigh.

These are the takeover's tests for the Ultracode-as-toggle change.

- compileClaudeModelSelection: effort + Ultracode compiles as given, an old
  effort "ultracode" reads as xhigh with Ultracode on, and an explicit
  ultracode false is kept.
- delegate_task accepts an old effort "ultracode" request as xhigh + Ultracode.
- Custom Claude models with an Ultracode effort get the toggle.
- Live mid-session changes send the chosen effort with Ultracode.

Dropped the review-round cases: the shared helper test (covered through
compile) and the old-parent delegate override.

withLegacyUltracodeEffort now accepts missing descriptors and keeps the
caller's selection type, so its call sites drop the `?? []` and
`?? undefined` coercions. The compile path reads the Ultracode descriptor
directly, and the EffortGlyph comment says why the named Ultracode level
stays: older servers still offer it as an effort.

Custom model capabilities reach clients through the provider snapshot and
never through the scoped catalog, so converting them only there left text
generation disagreeing with what the picker showed.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Normalize custom capabilities with withUltracodeToggle.

A configured custom model can provide ultracode as an effort option without a boolean descriptor. The custom catalog path preserves that shape. Both selection and text-generation consumers emit ultracode: true only from the boolean descriptor, so the custom model omits the toggle.

Apply the same normalization at the custom-model boundary:

-        capabilities: entry.capabilities,
+        capabilities: withUltracodeToggle(entry.capabilities),

Text generation reads custom models through the scoped catalog, so without
the toggle there a custom model's legacy Ultracode effort lost the Ultracode
flag it had on main.

Send ultracode: false when the toggle is off, so a --settings launch argument
that turns Ultracode on no longer wins. An unset toggle still sends nothing.
Workflow agents pass their reported effort and speed to the hover card, and a
workflow card falls back to the model it runs on instead of "Not reported".
Mobile agent rows show the same effort.

The Ultracode switch moves from the effort column to the picker footer, as
one button next to the speed control. The effort column now lists only
reasoning levels.
Claude Code 2.1.284 is the first release that runs Ultracode at an effort
other than xhigh. Versions from 2.1.280 stay supported.

Provider discovery now advertises custom Claude models with Ultracode as
a boolean option, as built-in models are. Main turns compile their model
selection against the catalog scoped to the instance's custom models, so
High + Ultracode on a custom model reaches the SDK as `ultracode: true`.

Mobile workflow member rows keep the reported effort when the model is a
raw API id such as `claude-opus-5[1m]` that the picker catalog lacks.

A custom Claude model whose effort defaulted to the old `ultracode` level
kept `ultracode` as its effort after the level became a toggle, so turns
sent a retired effort to Claude Code without the Ultracode setting. The
toggle transform now moves that default to Extra High with Ultracode on.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…oggle

The old Ultracode effort level ran at xhigh. A custom model that offered
Ultracode but no standalone Extra High lost xhigh when the level became a
toggle, so old selections fell back to its default effort and
delegate_task rejected them. The toggle transform now keeps xhigh in its
place.
