Summary

On a host whose ~/.opencodex/codex-runtime.json records a real but old Codex CLI version, gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra and gpt-5.6-luna disappeared from the catalog, /v1/models, the dashboard rows and the desktop projection. Reproduced on a host with selectedVersion 0.141.0 (codex-cli 0.141.0) against the measured gated floor of 0.144.0.

resolveCodexEntitlementClientVersion picks the client_version upstream is asked with, in three tiers: the inbound request, the persisted runtime, then GATED_MODEL_CLIENT_VERSION_FLOOR. #3035 gave the measured 0.144.0 minimum to tier 3 only. Tier 2 kept returning the persisted version verbatim, so a 0.141.0 install asked upstream a question upstream filters on, received an honest roster with no gpt-5.6, and dropped the rows.

That made an outdated CLI strictly worse than no CLI at all, since a runtime-less host already asked at the floor and kept its models:

Host Tier 2 Version asked gpt-5.6 visible
No Codex CLI at all absent 0.144.0 (floor) yes
Codex CLI 0.141.0 "0.141.0" 0.141.0 no

The floor now binds tier 2 as a lower bound rather than a fallback. It only ever raises: a runtime at or above the floor is preserved exactly, because a newer client can drive models the floor cannot name.

Which tier answers is a question about which question is being asked, not about background versus request path — isDirectCallerEntitledToCodexModel and both auth-context.ts authorization paths reach tier 2 because they carry no version:

The clamp is applied only on the way out of the resolver. readRuntimeVersion and the memo keep reporting the exact on-disk selectedVersion, which runtime identity, catalog cache keys, X-Codex-Version and install provenance all read for their own reasons.

Deliberately out of scope, recorded in the devlog unit: /v1/models?client_version=0.141.0 still omits the rows (a self-declared stale client is answered for the version it declared; the remedy is upgrading the CLI), and max/ultra stay clamped off on a 0.141.0 host because that is a local runtime capability limit, not an entitlement one. Preferring a newer Codex desktop runtime was investigated and rejected: the desktop package version line (26.x) is not comparable to a codex-cli 0.14x version and the bundled executable carries no version metadata, so it offers installation evidence but no trustworthy version signal.

Verification

bun test tests/codex-model-entitlements.test.ts                49 pass   0 fail
bun test claude-models-discovery + codex-catalog
     + codex-catalog-sync-hardening                           303 pass   0 fail
bun run typecheck                                             exit 0
bun run privacy:scan                                          Privacy scan passed
bun run test                                                  full suite, see below

The three new regressions were driven RED against the unfixed source first, each failing with Expected: "0.144.0" Received: "0.141.0", and green after:

  1. a persisted runtime below the floor still asks under the floor, and projects granted;
  2. the clamp raises but never lowers, and an inbound version still wins in both directions;
  3. asked at the floor, a roster that genuinely omits the model is denied — the fix asks a better question, it does not invent a grant.

Four full-suite failures were each investigated rather than assumed: routing profile management editor API > PUT update migrates config references... and POST /api/client-integrations/restore > distinguishes an unknown operation... fail identically on clean dev (c116dc532) as 5s/8s timeouts on this slow Windows host, and tests/server-auth.test.ts passes 103/0 when run alone on this branch against a 0-fail clean-dev baseline, with different cases failing on each loaded run. Pre-existing or load flake, not regressions.

An independent review returned PASS and its four findings were applied in the second commit: the prerelease ordering gap in compareClientVersions is now documented, hasUnknownGatedAbsence records that it is reachable only via tier 1 once the floor binds tier 2, and the new fixture gates on the floor instead of a hardcoded minor.

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.

Entitlement resolution is an authorization surface, so the fail-closed contract was checked explicitly: the clamp changes only the outbound query string, never the interpretation of the answer. granted still requires the model to be present in a confirmed roster, and a regression pins that an absent model is not granted. No credential, token or request body is logged; privacy:scan is green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Restored account-gated model visibility for hosts running an outdated Codex CLI by enforcing the minimum supported client version when checking entitlements.
    • Preserved behavior for current runtimes and explicit client-version requests.
    • Accounts without access remain correctly denied; local effort limitations are unchanged.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for outdated, supported, and unauthorized entitlement scenarios.
    • Verified model listings and dashboard projections reflect restored access.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5bfd8

Unversioned callers on older clients may gain access to gated models based on the floor version rather than their actual capability. This can expose models to clients below the intended minimum and should be resolved before merge.

리뷰 · 우선순위 75 / 80

이 PR은 지금 dev(HEAD 20011a1c4, package 2.43.0, 최근 #3405 opencode-go wire)에서 Codex CLI가 깔려 있는데 버전이 낡은 호스트gpt-5.6-sol / terra / luna를 통째로 잃는 구멍을 막습니다. 증상은 카탈로그, /v1/models, 대시보드 모델 행, 데스크톱 projection까지 같이 비는 형태입니다. 계정은 모델을 갖고 있는데도, ~/.opencodex/codex-runtime.jsonselectedVersion이 예를 들어 0.141.0이면 upstream에 그 버전으로 물어보고, upstream은 그 질문에 대해 gpt-5.6 없는 정직한 명단을 돌려줍니다. 그래서 행이 사라집니다.

지금 HEAD의 src/codex/model-entitlements.ts resolveCodexEntitlementClientVersion은 세 단입니다. (1) 요청에 실린 client_version, (2) 디스크에 남은 runtime selectedVersion, (3) GATED_MODEL_CLIENT_VERSION_FLOOR(측정값 0.144.0과 스냅샷/폴백을 합친 바닥). #3035/#3022 계열은 바닥을 3단에만 넣었습니다. 2단은 낡은 실제 버전을 그대로 씁니다. 그 결과 “CLI가 아예 없는 호스트”는 3단 바닥(0.144.0)으로 물어봐서 모델이 보이고, “0.141.0 CLI가 있는 호스트”는 2단 때문에 오히려 더 나쁩니다. 아무도 고른 정책이 아니라, 바닥이 3단에만 묶인 부작용입니다.

이번 수리는 그 바닥을 2단에도 하한으로 겁니다. raisedToGatedFloornull이면 바닥, 바닥보다 낮으면 바닥, 같거나 높으면 그대로입니다. 올리기만 하고 내리지는 않습니다. 요청에 버전이 오면 1단이 그대로 이깁니다. 그건 “이 클라이언트가 뭘 쓸 수 있나”를 묻는 질문이고, 프록시가 다른 버전으로 바꿔 답하면 #2548처럼 클라이언트가 못 다루는 행을 광고하게 됩니다. 반대로 버전이 안 온 경로(isDirectCallerEntitledToCodexModel, src/codex/auth-context.ts의 Direct/stored-main 인가)는 “이 계정이 모델을 갖고 있나”를 묻는 질문이라, upstream이 버전으로 거르는 부수 효과에 맞춰 바닥 이상으로 묻는 편이 맞습니다.

클램프는 resolver 출구에만 있습니다. readRuntimeVersion / 메모는 디스크 값을 그대로 보고합니다. runtime identity, 카탈로그 캐시 키, X-Codex-Version, install provenance가 selectedVersion을 증거로 쓰기 때문입니다. grant도 만들지 않습니다. 바닥으로 물었는데도 roster에 없으면 denied로 남기고, 테스트가 그걸 고정합니다. max/ultra effort clamp는 일부러 안 건드립니다. 그건 로컬 바이너리 능력 한도이고, 광고만 넓히면 요청이 깨집니다.

라인 - src/codex/model-entitlements.ts resolver JSDoc의 #3436 인용 - 지금 열린 #3436은 cross-platform parity devlog 계획 PR입니다. 이 바닥 클램프와는 무관합니다. 추적 이슈/PR 번호가 따로 있으면 그걸로 바꾸고, 없으면 “이 PR” 또는 #3022/#3035 후속으로 고치세요. 리뷰어가 링크를 따라가다 헛길로 갑니다.

라인 - src/codex/model-entitlements.ts tier-2 JSDoc 줄의이 * 2.로 시작 - 이웃 줄은 *인데 이 줄만 앞 공백이 빠졌습니다. 동작은 안 바뀌지만, 다음 편집에서 한 칸만 맞추면 됩니다.

경로/심볼 - hasUnknownGatedAbsence - 바닥이 2단에 묶이면 백그라운드/무버전 경로는 구조적으로 모든 기록 최소 버전 이상이 됩니다. 이 분기는 사실상 1단(스스로 낡은 client_version을 선언한 요청) 전용 탈출구가 됩니다. PR이 주석으로 적어 둔 대로, 측정 상수 0.144.0이 백그라운드 경로에서 거의 혼자 버티는 형태입니다. upstream이 진짜 요구를 더 올리면 그 상수만 틀렸을 때 5분 denied 캐시가 생깁니다.

경로/심볼 - /v1/models?client_version=0.141.0 - 의도적으로 고치지 않습니다. 스스로 낡은 버전을 밝힌 클라이언트는 그 버전으로 답하고, 고치는 방법은 CLI 업그레이드입니다. 제품 버그로 다시 열지 마세요.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • CI(test shard·macos 등)가 아직 pending인데, 초록이면 바로 dev에 넣을지
  • 잘못된 #3436 주석을 머지 전 한 커밋으로 고칠지, 랜딩 후 정리할지
  • MEASURED_GATED_CLIENT_VERSION_MINIMUM = "0.144.0"을 앞으로 누가·언제 다시 측정할지(이제 2단까지 기대는 상수)

너의 추천
CI 초록이면 dev에 머지하세요. 범위가 model-entitlements.ts + 회귀 테스트 + 계획 문서뿐이고, types/config split과도 안 겹칩니다. 머지 전에(또는 직후) #3436 잘못된 인용만 고치면 됩니다. effort clamp와 tier-1 동작은 그대로 두는 선택이 맞습니다.

Rebased onto current dev (330d6c499).

Note on CI test 2/4 from the first run: unauthenticated loopback listener > admits the exact standalone Images POST routes so they reach the relay (#3428) fails with Expected to contain: 401 / Received: [400, 503]. That failure is pre-existing on dev and unrelated to this PR — it comes from #3430, which landed after my original branch point.

Proof: checking out origin/dev alone, with none of the changes in this PR, and running that file gives 30 pass / 1 fail on exactly that test. Before the rebase my branch passed it 30 pass / 0 fail, because it did not yet contain #3430. Nothing in this PR touches the loopback listener, image routes, or auth admission.

Authorization Bypass (CWE-863): Incorrect Authorization

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Enforce client capability before granting gated models.

When client_version is omitted, isDirectCallerEntitledToCodexModel resolves the persisted 0.141.0 runtime to 0.144.0 at src/codex/model-entitlements.ts:1047. Both src/codex/auth-context.ts:410-411 and src/codex/auth-context.ts:463-464 call it without a client version. Because a positive roster grants access regardless of version, an older external client can pass this authorization gate. Pass the validated inbound client_version through these paths and reject versions below the model minimum, or do not apply the floor to authorization decisions.

…ted floor

A host whose persisted codex-runtime.json records a REAL but OLD Codex CLI version
lost gpt-5.6-sol/terra/luna everywhere: the catalog, /v1/models, the dashboard rows
and the desktop projection.

resolveCodexEntitlementClientVersion resolves in three tiers, and #3022 gave only
tier 3 the measured 0.144.0 minimum. Tier 2 kept returning the persisted version
verbatim, so a 0.141.0 install asked upstream a question upstream filters on, got an
honest roster with no gpt-5.6, and dropped the rows. That made an outdated CLI
strictly worse than no CLI at all, since a runtime-less host already asked at the
floor and kept its models.

The floor now binds tier 2 as a lower bound rather than a fallback. It only ever
raises: a runtime at or above the floor is preserved exactly, because a newer client
can drive models the floor cannot name.

Which tier answers is a question about which QUESTION is being asked, not about
background versus request path -- isDirectCallerEntitledToCodexModel and both
auth-context authorization paths reach tier 2 because they carry no version. A caller
that supplies no client_version is asking whether the ACCOUNT owns the model, and
upstream only incidentally filters that answer by version. A caller that supplies one
is asking what THAT CLIENT may use, and is still answered verbatim even when it is
older than the floor: clamping there would advertise rows the client told us it cannot
drive (#2548) and would turn an honest unknown into a cached denied.

The clamp is applied on the way out of the resolver only. readRuntimeVersion and the
memo keep reporting what is on disk, because selectedVersion is probe evidence that
runtime identity, catalog cache keys, X-Codex-Version and install provenance all read.

Verification: three regressions driven red against the unfixed source and green after
(stale tier 2 asks at the floor and projects granted; the clamp raises but never
lowers and inbound still wins; a roster that genuinely omits the model is denied, not
invented into a grant). 49/49 in tests/codex-model-entitlements.test.ts, 303/303
across claude-models-discovery, codex-catalog and codex-catalog-sync-hardening.
typecheck and privacy:scan clean.
…1-only

Review findings on the tier-2 clamp, all documentation and test hygiene; no
behaviour change.

hasUnknownGatedAbsence tests clientVersion < the model's recorded minimum. Every
minimum in ACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_MODEL_MINIMUM_CLIENT_VERSIONS is the measured
constant, and the floor is composed as the max of the derived value and that same
constant, so once the floor binds tier 2 every non-inbound resolution is structurally
>= every minimum. The branch survives only for a self-declared old client on tier 1.
That is intended -- asked at an adequate version, an absence is a real denial -- but
it leaves the measured constant load-bearing alone, so the comment says so.

compareClientVersions splits on [.+-] and reads the suffix as 0, which sorts
0.144.0-rc.1 at or above 0.144.0, the inverse of semver. Every version it ranks
against is a release version and a prerelease runtime passes through exactly as it did
before, so this is documented rather than changed.

The new fixture gated on a hardcoded minor; it now compares against the floor so
raising the floor moves the fixture with it.

Verification: 49/49 in tests/codex-model-entitlements.test.ts, typecheck exit 0.

…roster (#3460)

* feat(codex): list the flagship natives regardless of the entitlement roster

gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra, gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-6-astra now appear on every
install. Every other native still derives visibility from the live catalog and the
authenticated roster, and gpt-daybreak-blue-latest stays account-gated.

This is the second half of #3442. That PR stopped a stale client version from making
discovery ask a question whose answer omits gpt-5.6, which guarantees the QUESTION is
fair -- it cannot guarantee an ANSWER. An unconfirmed account, a timed-out fetch or a
shard that has not caught up all produce the same silent disappearance, and a model
vanishing from the picker reads as "opencodex lost my model" rather than "upstream did
not confirm it". Two subagent dispatches during this work died on the proxy's own
401 No eligible Codex account supports this model.

Membership in ACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_OPENAI_MODELS is the single switch: it hides the row
from the catalog, /v1/models, the dashboard and the desktop projection until a roster
confirms it, AND makes auth-context refuse before dispatch. Both halves fail closed on
absence of evidence rather than on a denial. gpt-6-astra was ungated by exactly this
route in 6f634ed and the trio was already in DOCUMENTED_NATIVE_OPENAI_ADDITIONS, so
the change is removing three strings from one set.

The accepted cost: Pool routing no longer prefers an account that owns the model, so a
multi-account user may take one upstream 400 and one alternate retry where they used to
be routed straight to the owner. Nothing unsafe -- each account still sends its own
credential. gpt-5.6-luna is also the default web-search sidecar and shadow-call source
model, so a single-account user who does not own it can now select it. Both are recorded
in the devlog unit rather than discovered later.

One thing had to change beyond the set. subagent-model-fallback gated its native-main
drain sentinel on the same set, so ungating would have let a drain silently rewrite the
operator's configured subagent model instead of reporting maintenance. That predicate
never had anything to do with entitlement -- it protects the atomic main claim -- so it
moves to SUPPORTED_NATIVE_OPENAI_SLUGS, which is what it always meant.

ACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_MODEL_MINIMUM_CLIENT_VERSIONS keeps its three entries. An earlier
draft justified that by claiming it protects Daybreak; that is false, Daybreak is
deliberately absent from the map, and a regression now pins the fact so the false
rationale cannot come back. The true reason is narrower: the entries keep the tier-1
under-versioned escape hatch alive.

Tests retarget onto Daybreak rather than being deleted, so the fail-closed and
version-floor coverage keeps measuring a shipped model instead of going hollow. New
regressions pin that the four flagships list with no roster, that Daybreak still does
not, that disabledModels still hides them, and that ungating leaves the composed floor
at 0.144.0 even though the derivation goes empty -- the assertion that would catch a
silent undo of #3442.

Verification: 537 pass / 0 fail across native-model-toggle, codex-model-entitlements,
codex-catalog-sync-hardening, subagent-model-fallback, codex-auth-context,
codex-convergence-account-selectors, subagent-roster-retention and codex-catalog.

* fix(codex): scope the drain sentinel and sync the docs after ungating

Review findings on the flagship ungating.

The native-main drain sentinel in subagent-model-fallback moved off
ACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_OPENAI_MODELS in the previous commit, but onto
SUPPORTED_NATIVE_OPENAI_SLUGS, which was too wide. That set also holds gpt-5.5,
gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini and gpt-5.3-codex-spark -- models this work never touched --
and retaining the sentinel for them turns "fell back and answered" into a maintenance
error for the most commonly configured fallback slug in the repo. The predicate now
has its own explicit set, NATIVE_MAIN_DRAIN_SENTINEL_MODELS: the account-gated natives
plus the four flagships that just left that set, which is exactly what the drain
behaviour was reasoned about.

The predicate had no direct coverage in its own test file, which is how the widening
went unnoticed. tests/subagent-model-fallback.test.ts now pins both edges: the
flagships and Daybreak retain main as a read-free sentinel during a drain, while
gpt-5.5 and the other non-flagship natives keep advancing the chain. Driven red by
widening the set back to every native, which fails the second half.

Four more suites asserted the old contract and are retargeted onto Daybreak, the one
model still gated: the gated-model 400 replay ladder, the final-auth admission-release
accounting, the suppressed-visibility-target case, and a catalog refresh fixture that
expected sync to drop the Sol rows. A blanket rename was reverted in
subagent-fallback-handle-responses because Daybreak is wire-normalized to Sol and the
neighbouring fixtures depend on that; only the one affected case moved.

Also drops a now-decorative SOL assertion in favour of one that measures the ungating,
corrects a comment naming a symbol that never existed, and documents the behaviour in
docs-site: the four flagships always list, an unentitled account sees an upstream
refusal instead of an absent row, Pool no longer steers to the owning account first,
and disabledModels is the lever.

Verification: 81 pass / 0 fail across responses-pool-401-refresh,
subagent-fallback-handle-responses, model-visibility-management-api and codex-refresh;
60 pass / 0 fail in subagent-model-fallback. typecheck exit 0, privacy:scan passed.
