Media generation discarded provider failure metadata, turning expired Codex sign-in into a retryable unavailable error. Missing credentials and rejected Codex refresh tokens now return authentication_failed with a sign-in-again message and retriable: false. Image, video, and speech failures retain sanitized HTTP status and retryability without exposing provider response text or headers. Credential-file read/decryption failures retain their storage-error classification. OAuth error responses are parsed in full before diagnostic messages are limited to 1,000 characters.

The curated Codex model list now includes GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Astra/Sol/Luna, and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst/Flare, and omits retired GPT-5.4/mini and Codex Spark. Curated image models remain available when provider-db metadata is missing, with image-route defaults that preserve explicit user settings. Normal build-generated provider and ACP catalog refreshes are included.

Refs #2424. The confirmed Codex failure was invalid_refresh_token before the image request; the original custom-gateway reproduction has not been independently verified.

Walkthrough

The Codex catalog now includes updated chat and image models with image-routing fallbacks. Authentication and media-generation errors preserve structured failure metadata for CLI handling. ACP registry versions and distribution metadata are also updated.

Changes

Codex model catalog and routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recommended models and catalog mapping
docs/features/provider-runtime/spec.md, src/main/provider/providers/aiSdkProvider.ts, test/main/provider/openaiCodexProvider.test.ts
The recommended list adds GPT-6 and GPT Image 2.5 models and removes retired models. The mapping synthesizes entries for missing recommended image models.
Image model fallback and routing
src/main/provider/modelConfig.ts, test/main/provider/providerDbModelConfig.test.ts, test/main/provider/aiSdkProviderFactory.test.ts
Codex image models without catalog configuration use image-generation type and endpoint. Tests cover routing and user-defined settings.

Codex authentication and media errors

Layer / File(s) Summary
Codex authentication failure metadata
src/main/provider/auth/openaiCodex/index.ts, test/main/provider/auth/openaiCodex.test.ts
Missing credentials and invalid refresh tokens produce non-retriable authentication failures. OAuth diagnostic messages are capped at 1,000 characters. Credential-store errors remain distinct.
Media error propagation and CLI mapping
src/main/provider/index.ts, src/main/cli/computeService.ts, test/main/provider/providerRuntime.test.ts, test/main/cli/computeService.test.ts, docs/features/provider-runtime/spec.md
Image, video, and speech errors retain provider failure metadata. The CLI maps Codex sign-in failures to authentication_failed and derives retryability for other media failures.

ACP registry version refresh

Layer / File(s) Summary
ACP release and distribution metadata
resources/acp-registry/registry.json
Versions and package or platform distribution metadata change for the listed agents. Copilot’s display name changes to “Copilot.”

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0a8a2

No actionable failure is established in the reviewed changes, and the documented GPT-5.6 models are present in the runtime catalog. Merge risk is minimal; routine release validation remains appropriate.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0a8a2

Existing access restrictions and response redaction remain in place. No newly introduced security weakness was established, but incomplete lifecycle and external-release verification prevent a minimal-risk assessment.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed media behavior remains reachable through existing human and agent callers with media:generate scope. Generation still requires an enabled provider, a known model, and enabled model status. Refreshed executable dependencies affect installations selecting those releases; the evidence does not establish a new cross-tenant or infrastructure authority boundary.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An in-flight refresh can potentially save credentials after logout clears storage because refresh completion has no logout-generation check. The same ordering exists in the base and head, and this PR does not change its reachability or authority. It is a pre-existing lifecycle limitation, not an introduced PR concern.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Provider-controlled failures cross into public media responses through normalized failure metadata and fixed authentication messaging. Existing caller and scope checks remain in place; the changed fallback does not introduce a new public route or caller class.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Rejected refresh credentials remain stored, and authentication status continues to derive from stored tokens. This behavior predates the PR; the new failure classification makes the rejection explicit without changing credential ownership or status persistence. UI reconciliation and repeated-failure lifecycle behavior remain incompletely established.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — As separate lifecycle hardening, make credential persistence conditional on an unchanged login/logout generation, and define how a definitive refresh rejection affects externally reported authentication status. This would address pre-existing state ambiguities rather than repair an established PR regression.

Review: refresh Codex models and errors

Overall: looks good. Three coherent fixes riding together: a Codex model-catalog refresh (including treating image models properly), typed auth errors for Codex sign-in expiry, and plumbing provider-failure metadata through to the CLI layer instead of discarding it. Plus the usual build-generated registry refresh. All in-scope tests pass (99/99; one test file fails to import on acp-extension-core, which is a pre-existing local node_modules gap that reproduces on dev, not caused by this PR). Posting as comment per usual practice for owner-authored PRs.

What changed, verified piece by piece

  1. Codex recommended models refreshed — gpt-6.x series (gpt-6.1-sol, gpt-6-astra, gpt-6-sol, gpt-6-luna) replaces the dropped gpt-5.4/5.3 entries; image models (gpt-image-2.5-sunburst/flare) added. The old "name contains codex" fallback filter is gone; image IDs missing from provider-db are now synthesized as custom entries instead. Cleaner single source of truth.

  2. Codex image models are now actually typed as image models — in the fallback config path, openai-codex + isOpenAIImageGenerationModelId now yields ModelType.ImageGeneration / ApiEndpointType.Image with functionCall: false, instead of everything defaulting to Chat. This is the actual "media support" fix — previously image generation through Codex would have been configured as a chat model.

  3. Auth errors are typed and actionable — missing/invalid Codex tokens now throw ProviderHttpError (401, openai_codex_sign_in_required, non-retryable) instead of bare Error; an invalid_refresh_token server response maps to "sign-in has expired, sign in again". The CLI layer (computeService) recognizes that code and returns authentication_failed with 401.

  4. Failure metadata no longer discarded — ProviderRuntime attaches the stream event's failure (typed optional field on ErrorStreamEvent, confirmed in llm-events.ts) to the thrown error at all three collect sites, and computeService extracts it via the existing extractProviderFailureMetadata helper, mirroring the pattern already used at the non-media invoke path. Media-generation failures now honor real retryability instead of a blanket retriable: true, and the log carries a structured failure object instead of just error.name.

  5. Registry refresh is genuine upstream drift — semantic comparison of providers.json: one new upstream provider (lowrouter), 27 existing providers updated, nothing else; registry.json only drifts agents. Not hand-edited.

Minor notes

  • The Object.assign(new Error(...), { failure }) pattern is ad-hoc property attachment rather than a typed error subclass. It matches how extractProviderFailureMetadata already reads properties off thrown errors, so it's consistent pragmatism — but a named error class would make the contract explicit if this pattern spreads further.
  • The commit message ("update Codex media support") undersells the second half of the change (error propagation); the PR title is more accurate. Cosmetic.

Checks performed

  • All six in-scope test files run: 99/99 tests pass (providerRuntime.test.ts fails to load on the pre-existing acp-extension-core gap, unrelated).
  • isOpenAIImageGenerationModelId, extractProviderFailureMetadata, ModelInvokeProviderFailureSchema, and providerFailureIsRetryable all exist; the new CLI retryability logic mirrors the existing invoke path at computeService.ts:433.
  • ErrorStreamEvent.failure is a typed optional field — the new propagation reads a real contract, not an untyped escape hatch.

credential-file load failures retain their storage-error classification instead
of being reported as openai_codex_sign_in_required and non-retryable; reserve
the sign-in classification for missing credentials.

and preserve retryable: false.

Re-review: follow-up commit 0a8a2d3f15 (preserve Codex error semantics)

Still looks good — this follow-up fixes two real defects in the first commit. Tests pass (13/13 in the touched auth suite, including the new parameterized cases).

  1. Storage failures are no longer misclassified as sign-in failures. In the first commit, a corrupt/unreadable credential file was thrown as ProviderHttpError with openai_codex_sign_in_required — which would have made the CLI tell the user to "sign in again" for what is actually a storage problem (and the wrong remediation: sign-in wouldn't fix a broken JSON file). Load errors are now plain Errors without failure metadata; the test explicitly asserts extractProviderFailureMetadata(failure)?.code is not the sign-in code and the file is left untouched.

  2. Truncation no longer breaks sign-in detection. The first commit's readErrorBody sliced the response to 1000 chars before the caller ran JSON.parse on it to detect invalid_refresh_token — a longer error body would have been cut mid-JSON, the parse would fail, and the user would get a raw truncated blob instead of "sign-in has expired, sign in again". The follow-up returns the full body and truncates only when composing the diagnostic message. The tests cover both directions: a 2000-char body produces a message of exactly 1000 chars, and a 100×-repeated error message still parses correctly and maps to the sign-in error.

The registry drift in the delta (harn 0.10.163→0.10.165, nova 1.1.51→1.1.52) is normal build-generated upstream refresh.

No new concerns; my earlier review's conclusion stands with these two fixes folded in.
