feat(models): register GPT-6 Astra as an optional Codex family (port of #251) by ericlitman · Pull Request #267 · ericlitman/open-pstack

ericlitman · 2026-11-06T12:16:04Z

Why

A model sheet that names codex:gpt-6-astra resolves as unregistered on main, though Codex CLI serves it. This ports shookya's fork PR #251 to a same-repository branch so it can get a live gate. Closes #251's request; shookya stays the commit author.

Summary

 FAMILIES
   luna   codex:gpt-6-luna    low..max     default max
+  astra  codex:gpt-6-astra   low..ultra   default max   optional, upstream null
 RELEASED_PAIRS
   ...
+  codex:gpt-6-astra

No default role or panel uses Astra. Only a sheet that names it changes.

Evidence

Before: on main, resolveModel("codex", "gpt-6-astra") returns {"kind":"unregistered"}. After: it resolves to family astra at max; registry.test.ts asserts that and that @ultra reaches Codex as model_reasoning_effort="ultra".
codex debug models, Codex CLI 0.166.0 on this host: gpt-6-astra supported: low medium high xhigh max ultra, matching the row's UP_TO_ULTRA.
render.ts --check passes; the catalog row is generated.
Live gate: pending. Feature: catalog in Claude Code and Codex.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Blast Radius: opt-in

Reverting removes the row; a sheet naming Astra resolves as unregistered again.

Gate results

On ceb2a8a: bun run test 0 (499 pass), bun run typecheck 0, bun run static 0, claude plugin validate plugins/pstack 0.

Not verified

No model run through the runner on this branch; the fork PR recorded one read-only Astra probe (receipt complete, pinned-argv).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Codex CLI 0.164.0 `codex debug models` lists gpt-6-astra with efforts low to ultra, so the family takes low to ultra and defaults to max, as Sol and Luna do. Its released pair is appended to the append-only list. Codex families generate no Claude agents; the renderer adds only the catalog row. Default roles and panels are unchanged.

[Medium impact] The code appears safe to merge once the required exact-head live gate passes.

Summary

Registers codex:gpt-6-astra as an optional family with efforts from low through ultra and a default of max.

Model sheets can choose GPT-6 Astra with efforts through ultra.

Walkthrough

This PR registers GPT-6 Astra (`codex:gpt-6-astra`) as an optional Codex model family, so a model sheet that names it resolves to the `astra` family at a default effort of `max` instead of coming back unregistered. Astra accepts efforts from `low` through `ultra`, which makes it the second family after Sol to offer `ultra`. No default role or panel changes, so only sheets that explicitly pick Astra behave differently. The PR adds tests for default resolution and for `@ultra` being passed to Codex as `model_reasoning_effort="ultra"`, and updates the catalog table, reference docs and changelog. Note that the code comment and CHANGES.md cite Codex CLI 0.164.0 while the PR description cites 0.166.0, and the author reports the live gate as still pending.

Area	What changes
Model registry	Adds the `astra` family (Codex provider, efforts `low..ultra,` default max, upstream null) and a `codex:gpt-6-astra` released pair; adds tests for default resolution and ultra argv passthrough.
Docs and catalog	Adds the Astra row to the generated model catalog, lists Astra as selectable and ultra-capable in the reference docs, and adds a changelog entry.
