The questions +that mattered, and the answers used: + +1. **Q: Is "fail fast on an unknown/invalid model id" meant to be a static allowlist of ids?** + A (derived): No — and it must not be. An allowlist of model ids is precisely the artifact that + goes stale and blocks newer models, which is the problem being reported. This repo's own + standing lesson is to never assert a model id doesn't exist from a cached catalog. The + fail-fast requirement is therefore satisfied by *structural* validation plus *provider + authority*: reject malformed config loudly at load time, and when the provider rejects an id, + fail the consultation loudly with the provider's message and no fallback to the hardcoded + default. See "Fail-fast semantics" under Desired State. + +2. **Q: Does the `gemini` (agy) lane get a configurable model too, or is it claude/codex only?** + A (verified): `agy --help` exposes `--model Model for the current CLI session`, and Codev + currently passes no `--model` (so agy's default, Flash, is used). All three lanes are therefore + configurable. The gemini lane stays configurable-but-unset-by-default so behavior is unchanged + for existing workspaces. + +3. **Q: Does per-protocol scoping ("PIR CMAP-2 cost invariant") ride along in this spec, or is it + deferred?** + A (from the issue's Note): it rides along. Without it, a workspace-wide `porch.consultation` + override silently inflates lighter protocols — the exact failure PIR's design calls out. A + config mechanism that only lets you *widen* lane composition globally would ship a new + footgun while removing an old one. + +4. **Q: Should defaults change (e.g. drop the gemini lane, given the offered production evidence)?** + A (scoping decision): No. Changing default lane composition is a separate, evidence-driven + decision with cost/quality consequences for every adopter. This spec ships the *mechanism*; + defaults stay byte-identical. Out of scope, recorded below. + +5. **Q: Should the `--model` escape hatch exist on the `consult` CLI itself?** + A (scoping decision): Yes, as a COULD — a per-invocation override is cheap and useful for + ad-hoc comparisons, but the config surface is the load-bearing deliverable. + +## Problem Statement + +`consult` pins the model id for each lane in source: + +- the `claude` lane is pinned to `claude-opus-4-6` +- the `codex` lane is pinned to `gpt-5.4` at `medium` reasoning effort +- the `gemini` lane passes no model at all, so it runs the Antigravity CLI's default (Flash) + +A workspace that wants to run a newer model — `claude-opus-5` for spec/plan reviews, `gpt-5.6` on +the codex lane — has no sanctioned mechanism. The observed workarounds are patching `dist/` in the +installed package (erased by the next `codev update`) or shadow-forking framework files. + +Separately, **which lanes run** is fixed per protocol by `protocol.json`'s `verify.models`, with a +single global escape hatch (`porch.consultation.models`) that applies to every protocol and every +review type at once. A workspace that wants, say, two lanes at `spec`/`plan` and one at `impl` +cannot express that. The reporting workspace implemented it by tier-2-shadowing the `spir`, +`aspir`, and `pir` `protocol.json` files — which works, and which recreates exactly the +stale-shadow-copy rot class that produced 17 drifted files in this repo (fixed in PR #1281). + +Both gaps push users toward forking framework files. The fix is to make the two things they +actually want — *which model per lane* and *which lanes per review type* — first-class config. + +## Current State + +### Where the pins live + +| Location | Pin | +|---|---| +| `packages/codev/src/commands/consult/index.ts:417-419` | `thread = codex.startThread({ model: 'gpt-5.4', modelReasoningEffort: 'medium', ... })` | +| `packages/codev/src/commands/consult/index.ts:558` | `claudeQuery({ options: { model: 'claude-opus-4-6', ... } })` | +| `packages/codev/src/commands/consult/index.ts` (agy args, ~`:846`) | `args = ['--sandbox', '--print-timeout', ...]` — no `--model`, so agy's default is used | + +None of these read config. `loadConfig` is already imported by `consult/index.ts` (it is used for +`consult.integrationBranch`), so the plumbing exists but is not used for model selection. + +### How lane composition resolves today + +`porch.consultation.models` (config) overrides `verify.models` (protocol). Precedence is +implemented **twice**: + +- `packages/codev/src/commands/porch/next.ts:63-90` — `resolveConsultationModels()`. Validates each + name against `VALID_MODELS = ['gemini', 'codex', 'claude', 'hermes']`; supports the special + string modes `"none"` (skip consultation) and `"parent"` (delegate to an architect gate). +- `packages/codev/src/commands/porch/index.ts:436-452` — an inline copy inside `porch done` that + applies the same precedence **without validation** and swallows config-load errors + (`catch { /* use protocol defaults */ }`). + +The two copies must agree, because `porch next` emits the consult commands and `porch done` +enforces that a review file exists for each effective model. They are a single-source-of-truth +violation waiting to bite. + +Configuration is flat: one list for all protocols and all review types. Review types actually in +use across shipped protocols are `spec`, `plan`, `impl`, `pr`, `investigation`, and `critique`. + +### Cost and observability coupling + +- `CODEX_PRICING` (`consult/index.ts:386`) hardcodes gpt-5.4's per-1M rates and is used to compute + `cost_usd` for every codex consultation. Point the lane at a differently-priced model and the + recorded cost is silently wrong. +- Claude's cost comes from the Agent SDK result (`total_cost_usd`), so it tracks the model + automatically. +- `consultation_metrics.model` stores the **lane** name (`'codex'`), not the model id. Once ids are + configurable, metrics can no longer answer "which model produced this review, and at what cost". + +### Workarounds in the field + +1. Patch the installed `dist/` — lost on `codev update`. +2. Shadow-fork `protocol.json` into `.codev/protocols//` — works, drifts silently, and is the + documented rot class from PR #1281. +3. Do nothing and run older models. + +## Desired State + +### Ask 1 — per-lane model ids + +```jsonc +// .codev/config.json (or any layer of the existing 5-layer config stack) +{ + "consult": { + "models": { + "claude": "claude-opus-5", + "codex": "gpt-5.6", + "gemini": "gemini-3-pro" // passed through to `agy --model` + }, + "reasoningEffort": { + "codex": "high" // currently pinned to "medium" + } + } +} +``` + +Every key is optional. An unset lane keeps today's hardcoded default, so an existing workspace with +no `consult.models` block behaves byte-identically. + +Because config is loaded through the existing five-layer stack (defaults → framework cache → +`~/.codev/config.json` → `.codev/config.json` → `.codev/config.local.json`), a user can set model +ids globally for every project, per-project, or per-engineer with no new machinery. + +### Ask 2 — per-review-type and per-protocol lane selection + +```jsonc +{ + "porch": { + "consultation": { + "models": ["gemini", "codex", "claude"], // existing key, unchanged + "modelsByType": { + "spec": ["codex", "claude"], + "plan": ["codex", "claude"], + "impl": ["codex"], + "pr": ["codex", "claude"] + }, + "byProtocol": { + "pir": { "models": ["gemini", "codex"] } // preserve PIR's CMAP-2 footprint + } + } + } +} +``` + +**Resolution precedence** for a verify step of protocol `P` and review type `T`, highest first: + +1. `porch.consultation.byProtocol[P].modelsByType[T]` +2. `porch.consultation.byProtocol[P].models` +3. `porch.consultation.modelsByType[T]` +4. `porch.consultation.models` +5. `protocol.json` → `verify.models` + +This is the existing "config > protocol" rule, refined from one level to four. The special string +modes `"none"` and `"parent"` are accepted wherever a lane list is accepted, at every level, and +short-circuit as they do today. + +`byProtocol` is what preserves PIR's CMAP-2 cost invariant: a workspace can widen SPIR without +inflating PIR, which today's flat override cannot express. + +### Fail-fast semantics + +The issue asks for fail-fast on invalid ids. The mechanism matters, because the obvious +implementation — an allowlist of known model ids — is itself the rot being reported. The split is: + +**Validated strictly (hard error, no fallback):** +- Unknown *lane key* in `consult.models` / `consult.reasoningEffort` → error naming the valid lanes. +- Model id that is not a non-empty string, or that contains whitespace or shell metacharacters → + error. (The gemini lane passes its id as a CLI argument; the check is a correctness *and* a + hygiene requirement.) +- Unknown *lane name* in any `porch.consultation.*` list → error (today's behavior, extended to the + new keys **and** to the `porch done` path, which currently skips validation entirely). +- Malformed shape anywhere (e.g. `modelsByType` not an object, a lane list that isn't an array of + strings) → error. +- Unknown key in `byProtocol` or `modelsByType` → error, validated against protocols/review types + discoverable through the four-tier resolver rather than a hardcoded list. See Open Questions. + +**Not validated locally — the provider is the authority:** +- The model id itself. Codev never asserts an id does or doesn't exist. If the Agent SDK, the Codex + SDK, or `agy` rejects the id, the consultation fails loudly: the provider's error text is + surfaced, the process exits non-zero, no review file is written, and **there is no fallback to + the hardcoded default**. A silent downgrade is the failure mode this spec exists to prevent. + +The error message on provider rejection must name the config key and layer that supplied the id, so +the user can find it (the id may come from any of five config layers). + +### Cost and observability + +- The resolved model id is recorded alongside the lane in consultation metrics, so cost figures + remain auditable after ids become configurable. +- Codex cost math is driven by rates that can be overridden in config; when the codex lane runs a + non-default model with no rate override, the recorded cost is marked unknown (`null`) rather than + computed from stale rates. Reporting a confidently wrong number is worse than reporting none. + +### Documentation + +`codev/resources/commands/consult.md` and its `codev-skeleton/` counterpart document both config +blocks, the precedence ladder, and the fail-fast contract — including the explicit statement that +Codev does not validate model ids and defers to the provider. + +## Stakeholders +- **Primary Users**: workspaces running Codev consultations who need current models or a lane mix + that differs from the shipped defaults — including the production workspace that filed #1286. +- **Secondary Users**: this repo's own architects and builders (every porch protocol runs through + consult); adopters who inherit the skeleton's protocol files. +- **Technical Team**: Codev maintainers (`consult`, `porch`, `lib/config`). +- **Business Owners**: the Codev repo owner, who directed the request. + +## Success Criteria +- [ ] `consult.models.{claude,codex,gemini}` in any config layer changes the model id actually sent + to the corresponding backend (Agent SDK `model`, Codex SDK `model`, `agy --model`). +- [ ] `consult.reasoningEffort.codex` changes the Codex SDK's `modelReasoningEffort`; unset keeps + `medium`. +- [ ] With no `consult` model config present, every lane's request is byte-identical to today's + (`claude-opus-4-6`, `gpt-5.4` @ `medium`, agy default with no `--model`). +- [ ] `porch.consultation.modelsByType[T]` selects lanes for review type `T`, overriding + `porch.consultation.models` and `protocol.json`'s `verify.models`. +- [ ] `porch.consultation.byProtocol[P]` scopes both `models` and `modelsByType` to protocol `P` and + outranks the unscoped keys. +- [ ] `"none"` and `"parent"` behave identically at every precedence level. +- [ ] `porch next` and `porch done` resolve lane composition through **one shared, validated code + path** — the duplicated inline resolver in `porch/index.ts` is gone, and the `done` path + validates config instead of silently falling back to protocol defaults. +- [ ] Every malformed-config case listed under Fail-fast semantics produces a hard error naming the + offending key and the valid alternatives. +- [ ] A provider-rejected model id fails the consultation loudly and non-zero, writes no review + file, and never falls back to a hardcoded default. +- [ ] Consultation metrics record the resolved model id, not only the lane name. +- [ ] A codex consultation on a non-default model with no rate override records `cost_usd` as + unknown rather than a figure computed from gpt-5.4 rates. +- [ ] The shadow-fork workaround is no longer needed: everything the reporting workspace achieved by + forking `spir`/`aspir`/`pir` `protocol.json` is expressible in `.codev/config.json`. +- [ ] Documentation updated in **both** `codev/resources/commands/consult.md` and + `codev-skeleton/resources/commands/consult.md`. +- [ ] All tests pass; new behavior covered by unit tests (see Test Scenarios). + +## Constraints + +### Technical Constraints +- **No `Baked Decisions` section in issue #1286** — no architect-pinned decisions to copy verbatim. +- Config must flow through the existing `loadConfig` five-layer stack in `packages/codev/src/lib/config.ts`; + no new config file, no new loader. +- Defaults must not change. Absent config → today's exact behavior, ids included. +- The `model` column of `consultation_metrics` currently stores the lane name and is grouped on by + `consult stats`; its meaning must not change under existing readers. +- The `gemini` lane dispatches to `agy`, whose model id space is agy's, not Google's API's; Codev + passes the string through unexamined. +- Framework files must be mirrored across `codev/` and `codev-skeleton/`. +- No static allowlist of model ids anywhere in the implementation — this is a hard constraint, not a + preference. + +### Business Constraints +- Requested by the repo owner on behalf of a production workspace currently blocked on older models. +- Must not increase consultation cost for any workspace that does not opt in; must give workspaces a + way to *reduce* cost (PIR's CMAP-2 footprint) rather than only widen it. + +## Assumptions +- The Claude Agent SDK, the Codex SDK, and `agy` each error clearly on an unknown model id rather + than silently substituting one. If any backend silently substitutes, that lane's fail-fast + guarantee is bounded by the provider's behavior — noted as a risk, not designed around. +- `agy --model ` composes with the existing `--sandbox --print-timeout --add-dir --print` + argument order (confirmed present in `agy --help`; exact interaction verified during implementation). +- Review-type strings in `verify.type` remain the stable key space for `modelsByType`. +- `hermes` remains a registered lane name in `VALID_MODELS` for the purposes of this spec; whether + the backend is still viable is out of scope. + +## Solution Approaches + +### Approach 1: Config-driven resolution behind one shared resolver (recommended) +**Description**: Extend `CodevConfig` with `consult.models` / `consult.reasoningEffort` and +`porch.consultation.modelsByType` / `.byProtocol`. Consult resolves its lane model id at dispatch +time from the already-loaded config. Porch's lane-composition precedence moves into a single +exported, validated resolver used by both `porch next` and `porch done`. + +**Pros**: +- Uses the config stack that already exists, with its global/project/per-engineer layering for free. +- Removes the incentive to shadow-fork `protocol.json` — the stated goal. +- Consolidating the duplicated precedence logic pays down an existing single-source-of-truth debt. +- Absent config, behavior is provably unchanged. + +**Cons**: +- Grows the config surface; four-level precedence must be documented precisely or it becomes folklore. +- Validation of `byProtocol` / `modelsByType` keys needs a discovery step to stay fail-fast without + a hardcoded list. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Medium +**Risk Level**: Low + +### Approach 2: Environment-variable overrides +**Description**: Read `CODEV_CONSULT_CLAUDE_MODEL`, `CODEV_CONSULT_CODEX_MODEL`, etc. + +**Pros**: Trivial to implement; no config schema change. +**Cons**: Not shareable with a team, invisible in review, doesn't address Ask 2 at all, and +multiplies into an unusable matrix for per-type/per-protocol selection. Codev's convention is +config-file-driven. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Low +**Risk Level**: Medium (encourages per-machine drift — a different flavor of the reported problem) + +### Approach 3: Express everything in `protocol.json` (per-type lanes and model ids in the protocol) +**Description**: Extend the protocol schema so each `verify` block names its lanes and their ids. + +**Pros**: Keeps review policy next to the protocol that defines it. +**Cons**: A workspace still cannot customize without shadow-forking the protocol file — which is the +exact rot the issue asks to eliminate. Solves neither ask for the reporting workspace. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Medium +**Risk Level**: High (entrenches the problem) + +### Approach 4: CLI-flag-only override (`consult --model-id `) +**Description**: Add a per-invocation flag; no config. + +**Pros**: Useful for ad-hoc A/B comparison between models. +**Cons**: Porch generates the consult commands for every protocol review, so a flag alone can't set +workspace policy without templating it into protocol files. Complementary, not sufficient. + +**Estimated Complexity**: Low +**Risk Level**: Low + +**Selected**: Approach 1, with Approach 4 as an optional COULD escape hatch layered on top. + +## Open Questions + +### Critical (Blocks Progress) +- None. The issue is specific enough to implement; every remaining question below has a stated + default that can be implemented and revisited at review. + +### Important (Affects Design) +- [ ] **How are `byProtocol` and `modelsByType` keys validated without a hardcoded list?** + A typo'd key (`"spir "`, `"implement"`) that silently no-ops violates fail-fast. Proposed + default: enumerate protocols resolvable through the four-tier chain and the `verify.type` + values they declare, and hard-error on a key outside that union. Fallback if enumeration + proves unreliable: validate values strictly and emit a loud warning for unmatched keys. +- [ ] **Should `consult.reasoningEffort` be a general per-lane map or a codex-only key?** Only the + codex lane exposes a reasoning-effort knob today. Proposed default: a lane-keyed map with + only `codex` honored, erroring on any other lane key — extensible without a rename later. +- [ ] **Codex cost when the model is overridden**: null-out (proposed) vs. an optional + `consult.pricing.codex` rate override vs. keep computing with stale rates (rejected). + Proposed default: support the optional override, and record `null` when a non-default model + runs with no override. +- [ ] **Does recording the model id need a metrics schema migration?** `consultation_metrics` is + created with `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` and has no migration mechanism, so adding a column + needs an idempotent `ALTER TABLE`. Proposed default: add the column with an idempotent + migration; the existing `model` column keeps its lane-name meaning so `consult stats` is + unaffected. + +### Nice-to-Know (Optimization) +- [ ] Should `codev doctor` report the effective per-lane model ids and lane composition? A + one-line "here's what will actually run" would make misconfiguration self-diagnosing. +- [ ] Should the review file or its header record which model id produced it, so a stale review from + a since-changed model is recognizable? +- [ ] Is the reporting workspace's lane-value data (offered in the issue) worth folding into shipped + defaults? Out of scope here; worth a follow-up issue with the data attached. + +## Performance Requirements +- **Response Time**: config resolution adds no measurable latency (`loadConfig` is already called on + every consult invocation; resolution is in-memory object traversal). Consultation wall-clock is + dominated by the model, which is the thing being made configurable. +- **Throughput**: N/A — consult is invoked a handful of times per project phase. +- **Resource Usage**: no change. +- **Availability**: N/A — local CLI. + +## Security Considerations +- **Argument injection**: the gemini lane's model id becomes a CLI argument to `agy`. It is passed + via the existing `spawn(bin, args)` array form (no shell), and the id is additionally validated as + a single whitespace-free token, so it cannot expand into extra flags or shell syntax. +- **Config trust boundary**: config is read from the repo and the user's home directory — already + trusted inputs that can set `shell.builder` and `worktree.postSpawn`. A model id is strictly less + powerful than what config already controls. No new trust boundary is crossed. +- **Cost as a safety property**: a config typo that silently widens lane composition costs real + money. Fail-fast validation and per-protocol scoping are the mitigations; both are MUSTs. +- **No secrets**: model ids are not credentials; nothing new is logged or persisted beyond the id. + +## Test Scenarios + +### Functional Tests +1. **Happy path, per-lane ids** — config sets `consult.models.claude`; the Agent SDK receives that + id. Same for codex (`model`) and gemini (`--model` present in the spawned argv). +2. **Default preservation** — with no `consult` block, the three backends receive exactly today's + arguments: `claude-opus-4-6`; `gpt-5.4` @ `medium`; agy argv containing no `--model`. +3. **Reasoning effort** — `consult.reasoningEffort.codex: "high"` reaches the Codex SDK; unset → + `medium`. +4. **`modelsByType` selection** — protocol declares three lanes for `impl`; config sets + `modelsByType.impl: ["codex"]`; `porch next` emits exactly one consult command, and `porch done` + is satisfied by exactly one review file. +5. **`byProtocol` scoping** — a workspace-wide three-lane `models` plus + `byProtocol.pir.models: ["gemini","codex"]`; a PIR verify step emits two lanes while a SPIR + verify step emits three. (Directly guards the CMAP-2 cost invariant.) +6. **Precedence ladder** — all four config levels populated simultaneously; the most specific wins, + and removing each level in turn falls through in the documented order down to `verify.models`. +7. **`none` / `parent` at every level** — including `byProtocol.pir.models: "none"`. +8. **next/done agreement** — the lane set `porch next` emits is exactly the set `porch done` + enforces, under every precedence combination above (regression guard for the removed duplicate). +9. **Invalid lane key** — `consult.models.gpt` → hard error naming valid lanes. +10. **Invalid model id shape** — empty string, non-string, embedded whitespace, `; rm -rf /` → hard + error before any backend is invoked. +11. **Invalid lane name in `modelsByType`** — `["codexx"]` → hard error, from both `porch next` and + `porch done`. +12. **Provider rejection** — backend rejects the configured id → non-zero exit, provider error text + surfaced, config key named, **no review file written**, no fallback to the default id. +13. **Metrics** — the resolved model id is recorded; the `model` column still holds the lane name. +14. **Codex cost with an overridden model** — `cost_usd` is `null` absent a rate override, and + computed from the override when one is present. +15. **Docs parity** — `codev/resources/commands/consult.md` and the skeleton copy stay in sync. + +### Non-Functional Tests +1. **Performance**: N/A — no hot path is touched. Config resolution is already on the call path. +2. **Security**: covered by scenario 10 (argv hygiene for the agy lane). +3. **Load**: N/A. + +## Dependencies +- **External Services**: Anthropic (Agent SDK), OpenAI (Codex SDK), Google/Antigravity (`agy`) — + each is the authority on which model ids it accepts. +- **Internal Systems**: `packages/codev/src/lib/config.ts` (loader + `CodevConfig` type), + `packages/codev/src/commands/consult/index.ts`, `packages/codev/src/commands/porch/next.ts`, + `packages/codev/src/commands/porch/index.ts`, `packages/codev/src/commands/consult/metrics.ts`. +- **Libraries/Frameworks**: `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk`, `@openai/codex-sdk`, `better-sqlite3`, + `vitest`.

Error contract on provider rejection, verified end-to-end against a real 400: the provider's text verbatim, the config key, and the config LAYER that supplied it (five layers make the key alone useless). No catch substitutes a default -- the annotation rethrows and nothing recovers.

First bogus-id run returned 'OK' and wrote a review file; probing the SDK directly disproved the tempting 'SDK silently substitutes' theory the plan had anticipated -- codex does reject unknown ids, the id had simply never arrived.

The failure class was 'cli.ts builds an explicit ConsultOptions object and silently drops a field', so registration and mapping now live together in commands/consult/cli-options.ts and a unit test compares them. The test does NOT restate the flag list -- it reads flags back out of commander via attributeName(), so adding a flag extends coverage automatically; a hand-written list would drift exactly the way the mapping did. It checks both directions (registered but unforwarded, mapped but unregistered, which catches a one-sided rename), uses a distinct sentinel per key so a mapping reading the WRONG source key also fails, and sanity-checks its own introspection so it cannot pass vacuously against an empty list. Verified by mutation: deleting the modelId line fails naming modelId. Also fixes a defect this phase introduced: reusing the config validator for a flag produced 'Invalid model id ... for --model-id in Codev config', sending the user to a file to fix something they typed on the command line. The 'in Codev config' clause is now suppressed for flag-shaped keys. Runs under porch's local tests check; the e2e guard stays as end-to-end proof. --- packages/codev/src/cli.ts | 46 +++-------- .../consult/__tests__/cli-options.test.ts | 76 +++++++++++++++++++ .../consult/__tests__/lane-models.test.ts | 13 ++++ .../codev/src/commands/consult/cli-options.ts | 72 ++++++++++++++++++ packages/codev/src/lib/consult-lanes.ts | 13 +++- 5 files changed, 181 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/codev/src/commands/consult/__tests__/cli-options.test.ts create mode 100644 packages/codev/src/commands/consult/cli-options.ts diff --git a/packages/codev/src/cli.ts b/packages/codev/src/cli.ts index 7fc8a055b..8d065a2b5 100644 --- a/packages/codev/src/cli.ts +++ b/packages/codev/src/cli.ts @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ import { update } from './commands/update.js'; import { sync, getFrameworkCacheDir as _getFrameworkCacheDir } from './commands/sync.js'; import { setFrameworkCacheDir } from './lib/skeleton.js'; import { consult } from './commands/consult/index.js'; +import { registerConsultOptions, buildConsultOptions } from './commands/consult/cli-options.js'; import { handleStats } from './commands/consult/stats.js'; import { cli as porchCli } from './commands/porch/index.js'; import { importCommand } from './commands/import.js'; @@ -165,27 +166,14 @@ program }); // Consult command -program - .command('consult') - .description('AI consultation with external models') - .argument('[subcommand]', 'Optional: stats') - .option('-m, --model ', 'Model to use (gemini, codex, claude, hermes, or aliases: pro, gpt, opus)') - .option('--prompt ', 'Inline prompt (general mode)') - .option('--prompt-file ', 'Prompt file path (general mode)') - .option('--protocol ', 'Protocol name: spir, aspir, air, bugfix, pir, maintain') - .option('-t, --type ', 'Review type: spec, plan, impl, pr, phase, integration') - .option('--issue ', 'Issue number (required from architect context)') - .option('--branch ', 'Read spec/plan artifacts from this git ref instead of the local workspace (e.g. `origin/builder/777-foo` or `builder/777-foo`).

An unreviewed behavior change carried over from phase_1: rejecting `[]` as a lane list + +**What changed.** `validateLaneList` now rejects an empty array (`[]`) with an error naming `"none"`. +Previously `[]` validated and resolved to `{ models: [], mode: 'normal' }` — zero lanes — making it +an undocumented second spelling of the spec's single explicit skip sentinel, `"none"`. + +**Why it is unreviewed.** phase_1 had already received a unanimous APPROVE when I noticed this while +following up a reviewer's separate non-blocking note. I chose to ship it rather than let a known +ambiguity calcify across five more phases, and disclosed it to the architect instead of letting it +pass as reviewed. Tightening is the reversible direction (loosening later is safe; the reverse breaks +live configs), but that is a judgment call, not a reviewed decision. + +**The part that most needs your scrutiny — a deliberate asymmetry.** The rejection applies to +user-authored config **only**. The shipped EXPERIMENT and SPIKE protocols declare +`defaults.consultation.models: []` (paired with `enabled: false`) to mean "this protocol runs no +consultations", in four files across both trees: + +- `codev-skeleton/protocols/experiment/protocol.json:96`, `codev-skeleton/protocols/spike/protocol.json:32` +- and their `codev/protocols/` mirrors + +So `[]` is **forbidden from users but meaningful from protocols**.

It is documented at +the rejection site, including a warning that routing protocol models through the validator would +break both protocols. A test asserts both shipped protocols still resolve to zero lanes, reading the +real `protocol.json` and guarding its own premise so it fails loudly rather than vacuously if a +protocol stops shipping `[]`. + +**Questions for you:** Is the asymmetry the right design, or should `[]` be accepted as an alias for +`"none"` for symmetry? Is documenting it at the rejection site sufficient, or does it belong in +user-facing docs (phase_6)? Is there a third path through the validator I have missed that would +reach protocol-supplied models? + +## 2. A bug this phase found by running the code, and the guard added for its class + +`--model-id` initially shipped **registered, parsed, present in `--help`, and completely inert**: +`cli.ts`'s action built its `ConsultOptions` object field-by-field and never copied `modelId` across. +20 passing unit tests asserted the configured id reached each SDK — all true, and the flag still did +nothing. + +Worth noting for calibration: the first bogus-id run returned `OK` and wrote a review file, and the +plan had *already documented* a risk fitting that symptom ("an SDK swallows a bad id and silently +substitutes"). Probing the SDK directly disproved it — codex rejects unknown ids with a 400 +`invalid_request_error`; the id had simply never arrived. + +Per the architect, the fix was to extract the cause rather than duplicate the end-to-end test: +`registerConsultOptions()` and `buildConsultOptions()` now live together in +`commands/consult/cli-options.ts`, with a unit test that reads the flag list back out of commander +via `attributeName()` and asserts every non-stats flag is forwarded. + +**Questions for you:** Does the extraction leave any CLI behavior changed (it is intended to be a +pure refactor)?

Placed before --print, which agy parses as string-valued (its value must be the immediately following argument) -- guarded by an explicit argv-order test. The split, stated as an invariant because this is the phase with the quiet failure mode: a skip may only be reached for an ENVIRONMENT cause. Configuring consult.models.gemini opts out of 'quietly proceed without this lane', so a non-zero exit hard-fails. Auth, timeout, non-response and empty output stay skips even when configured -- a degraded agy (#1032/#1033) must never wedge a phase. Mutation-verified: widening the condition to any non-zero exit fails the unconfigured-lane test, which is the exact risk the plan named. stderr was watched for auth markers then discarded, so a hard failure would have carried only an exit code. A bounded 2000-char tail of both streams is now retained and included in the error alongside the phase_2 key+layer contract. Against real agy this surfaces the list of valid model ids, turning 'rejected' into 'here is what you can use'. Also closes the gemini --model-id gap left open in phase_2: resolveOptionalLaneModelChoice returns null when unconfigured (omit, never default) and lets --model-id outrank config. Verified against real agy, not only the fake: configured+bogus exits 1 with no review file (so porch cannot advance); unconfigured exits 0 and writes the COMMENT skip. --- .../consult/__tests__/agy-lane-model.test.ts | 220 ++++++++++++++++++ packages/codev/src/commands/consult/index.ts | 73 +++++- 2 files changed, 291 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/codev/src/commands/consult/__tests__/agy-lane-model.test.ts diff --git a/packages/codev/src/commands/consult/__tests__/agy-lane-model.test.ts b/packages/codev/src/commands/consult/__tests__/agy-lane-model.test.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b5ba3ea91 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/codev/src/commands/consult/__tests__/agy-lane-model.test.ts @@ -0,0 +1,220 @@ +/** + * Agy lane model passthrough and the fail-fast split (spec 1286, Phase 3). + * + * The invariant under test, stated as an invariant because this is the phase with the quiet + * failure mode: **a skip may only be reached for an ENVIRONMENT cause.** + * + * - unconfigured lane → today's behavior exactly; every failure is a non-blocking COMMENT skip + * - configured lane → a non-zero exit is a HARD failure: no review file, and the error carries + * agy's own output plus the config key and layer + * - auth and timeout → skips in BOTH cases; a degraded agy (#1032/#1033) must never wedge a phase + * + * Uses a real fake `agy` subprocess (the `agy-auth-cache.test.ts` pattern) rather than a mock, so + * argv and exit codes are genuinely exercised — argv order matters here, since agy parses `--print` + * as string-valued and its value must immediately follow it. + */ + +import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest'; +import * as fs from 'node:fs'; +import * as os from 'node:os'; +import * as path from 'node:path'; +import { _runAgyConsultation, resolveOptionalLaneModelChoice } from '../index.js'; + +const ENV_KEYS = [ + 'CODEV_AGY_BIN', + 'CODEV_AGY_AUTH_CACHE_DIR', + 'CODEV_AGY_AUTH_CACHE_DISABLE', + 'FAKE_AGY_LOG', + 'FAKE_AGY_ARGV_LOG', + 'FAKE_AGY_MODE', + 'HOME', +] as const; + +/** + * Fake agy.

Marker ordering (both lanes, independently): agy can emit its non-response marker AND exit non-zero. Checking the exit code first misfiled that timeout as a configuration failure -- breaking the 'timeout stays a skip in both cases' half of the invariant, for exactly the degraded lane it protects. 2. Stale review file (codex): 'no review file' must mean none EXISTS. consult writes to a deterministic per-iteration path, so a review from an earlier run would survive the failure and let porch advance on a stale verdict. discardStaleOutput() applied to ALL THREE lanes, not just agy -- same exposure wherever a runner throws after an earlier run wrote output. 3. code === null (claude): 'code !== 0' is also true for a signal kill, an environment cause, so it must not hard-fail. 4. Dead fixture mode (claude): FAKE_AGY_MODE=unauth was defined and never used -- dead fixture code that reads like coverage, on the direction that would wedge a phase. My first attempt at (1) was wrong and my own new test caught it: I classified empty stdout as an environment cause, but a rejected model writes to STDERR and exits non-zero with empty stdout. That made the hard failure unreachable for the exact case it exists to catch. Only the non-response marker overrides now; empty stdout still means 'no review' on the zero-exit path. Mutation-verified both directions. 14 -> 18 tests.

Migration reads PRAGMA table_info rather than catching an error string, so it is re-runnable by construction and does not depend on SQLite message text. No down-migration -- dropping a column with data is a worse failure mode than an unused column. Migration tests build a fixture on the OLD schema, not a fresh DB: a fresh DB gets the column from CREATE TABLE and would pass without the migration ever running (same vacuous-pass trap as the phase_1 existsSync early-return). modelId is REQUIRED on MetricsRecord, not optional, so the compiler enumerated all five recordMetrics call sites. Optional would let a lane silently write NULL and surface later as a data bug rather than an unfinished phase.

One ALTERs; the others fail 'duplicate column name' — and because recordMetrics swallows errors, those lanes' rows vanish silently. Verified both halves before fixing (the swallow at recordMetrics, the check-then-act at migrateAddModelId). Fixed with BEGIN IMMEDIATE + re-check inside the lock, plus duplicate-tolerance as belt and braces. Test spawns three real child processes, because better-sqlite3 is synchronous and nothing in-process can interleave two connections. Mutation-verified: the naive version fails it 3 runs out of 3. claude APPROVE with four more, all accepted: - (b) nothing asserted the agy lane populates model_id — the stated reason phase_4 depends on phase_3. Now tested for configured, skipped-but-configured, and unconfigured. - (c) metrics.test.ts's sampleRecord omitted the required modelId and type-checked clean because tsconfig excludes **/__tests__/**; better-sqlite3 binds undefined as NULL, so it failed silently. My 'required field means the compiler enumerates call sites' guarantee held for src/ only. - (d) the plan's logging requirement (record the resolved id in the transcript) was implemented by no phase. Now logged from the dispatch branch that OWNS the resolved choice — not re-derived for display, since a second resolution path is exactly how --model-id came to be documented, parsed, and inert. - (e) recordAgyMetrics's defaulted modelId reintroduced a silent-NULL path; default removed.

The check-then-act window at `migrateAddModelId` — confirmed by reading the sequence. +2. The swallow at `recordMetrics` — confirmed; errors become a warning, so the row is lost with no + failure anyone would notice. + +What makes this more than theoretical is the second half. A duplicate-column throw on its own would +be loud. Combined with the swallow it is **silent**: the symptom is a missing row in +`consult stats`, discoverable months later, with no error to trace it to. And the trigger is not an +edge case — a CMAP opens three `MetricsDB` connections in parallel, so the first consultation after +upgrading is precisely when all three can race. That is the common path in this repo, not a corner. + +**Fix** (`metrics.ts:232-254`), three layers: + +- **Fast path**: if the column is already present, return without taking a write lock. This is every + run after the first, so the migration costs a `PRAGMA` and nothing more. +- **`BEGIN IMMEDIATE` + re-check inside the lock**: `this.db.transaction(...).immediate()` takes the + write lock up front, so a concurrent opener blocks on `busy_timeout` (already set to 5000ms) and + then re-checks *inside* the lock instead of racing. This is the actual correctness fix. +- **Duplicate tolerance as belt and braces**: if the `ALTER` throws but the column exists afterward, + someone else added it — that is success, not failure. Explicit because the alternative outcome is + a silently dropped row. + +**Test** (`metrics-model-id.test.ts`): spawns **three real child processes**. This detail is +load-bearing — `better-sqlite3` is synchronous, so nothing in-process can interleave two +connections; an in-process "concurrency" test would pass against the broken code and prove nothing. + +**Mutation-verified**: reverting to the naive check-then-`ALTER` fails the new test 3 runs out of 3. +A concurrency test that has never been seen to fail is not evidence, so I made it fail on purpose. + +--- + +## claude (non-blocking, all five accepted) + +**(a) Migration race** — same finding as codex, same fix. Claude additionally noted that +`stats.ts:138` and `analytics.ts:195,405` construct `MetricsDB` *unguarded*, where the throw would +propagate rather than be swallowed. The fix is in the constructor's migration path, so it covers +those call sites too. + +**(b) No test asserts the agy lane's `modelId`.** Accepted, and this was the sharpest of the five: +phase_4's dependency on phase_3 was justified *precisely* by "the gemini lane would otherwise +silently write NULL" — so the one behavior the phase ordering exists to protect was the one with no +regression guard. Now tested across all three paths: configured, skipped-but-configured, and +unconfigured (`agy-lane-model.test.ts`). + +**(c) `metrics.test.ts`'s `sampleRecord()` omits the now-required `modelId`.** Accepted. My commit +message had leaned on "making the field required means the compiler enumerates every call site" — +that guarantee holds for `src/` only. `tsconfig.json` excludes `**/__tests__/**`, so the test file +was never typechecked, and `better-sqlite3` binds `undefined` as NULL, so it passed silently. Fixed; +worth recording that the guarantee has a blind spot exactly where tests live. + +**(d) Plan's logging requirement landed in no phase.** Accepted. The plan's *Monitoring → Logging +Requirements* asks the resolved id be recorded in the transcript, and claude correctly observed that +phases 5 (porch) and 6 (docs) would not pick it up — it would simply have been dropped. + +Implemented from the dispatch branch that **owns** the resolved choice, rather than re-deriving the +id for display. That choice is deliberate: a second, display-only resolution path is exactly how +`--model-id` came to be documented, parsed, and inert in the first place. + +**(e) `recordAgyMetrics`'s defaulted `modelId` parameter.** Accepted; default removed. It reopened, +for that one helper, the silent-NULL hole that making the field required closed everywhere else. +All current callers already pass it explicitly, so this costs nothing today and closes the path a +future caller would otherwise fall into. + +--- + +## One change beyond the reviewed diff + +Added `CODEV_METRICS_DB` so a lane-level test can isolate itself instead of writing to the +developer's real `~/.codev/metrics.db` (#1323). Slightly beyond phase_4's stated scope, but the +phase's own agy-metrics deliverable (finding **b**) is untestable without it. + +**Superseded during the subsequent merge with `main`.** Main had independently added the same +env var for #1323, and its version is strictly better: `resolveDbPath()` *throws* under a test +runner with no redirect instead of falling back to the real database, and an explicit constructor +argument outranks the env var rather than the reverse. I took main's implementation wholesale and +dropped mine. + +--- + +## Note on the reconciliation claude flagged (`index.ts` codex pricing) + +Claude asked for one line in the PR description about `CODEX_PRICING` becoming a per-model-id table +post-merge rather than a single default's rates. Recorded here so it is not lost: the table form is +a clean **superset** of the spec's "non-default model with no override → null" rule.

The staleness half is worse: with a dist/ present but older than the source, the test exercises the previous build and goes green while the source is broken. Fixed by running the children through tsx against metrics.ts. That immediately exposed a second, real bug: SQLITE_BUSY from pragma('journal_mode = WAL') in the constructor. busy_timeout was set after it, and busy_timeout does not rescue a journal-mode switch anyway — that needs an exclusive lock no busy-handler waits for. So concurrent opens of a non-WAL database (exactly what a CMAP does) threw out of the constructor, and since recordMetrics swallows that, the symptom was a silently missing row: the same invisible failure codex blocked on at iter1, reached by another route. enableWal() now sets busy_timeout first, skips the switch when already WAL, and treats SQLITE_BUSY as success-by-someone-else. Mutation testing showed the race test was weaker than its green tick implied (2/5). A readiness barrier plus a WAL-seeded fixture takes it to 5/6, and the WAL fix gets a deterministic guard (hold the write lock, assert the constructor survives) that catches the regression 5/5. Two counter-intuitive findings recorded in the rebuttals: more racers made detection WORSE, and my own WAL fix weakened the migration test by serializing openers. claude's non-blocking finding on test-isolation.test.ts is fixed but its mechanism is disputed: record() re-materializes every named parameter, so an omitted modelId binds NULL rather than raising better-sqlite3's missing-parameter error.

That drift is not cosmetic — next emitting one lane set while done demands another is a deadlock the user cannot debug, since neither command prints the set it derived. Both now call one exported resolveConsultationModels in porch/config.ts, which delegates to phase 1's resolveLaneComposition. Placed there rather than in next.ts because both commands already import ./config.js, so consolidating adds no new coupling between them. Removing done's catch is a deliberate behavior change and this phase's only regression risk: a workspace whose porch.consultation config is malformed today limps along on protocol defaults and will now fail loudly. That is the spec's fail-fast rule applied to an existing latent bug. All 453 pre-existing porch tests pass UNMODIFIED — the plan named them as the regression net and warned that needing to change them would be a signal to re-examine the code, not the test. Scenario 8 gets real next()/done() integration rather than the tautology it invited: asserting a shared function equals itself proves nothing. The tests drive both commands end-to-end, so they still fail if a private copy is ever reintroduced — mutation-verified by making done ignore config again, which fails the narrowing test. The paired unconfigured case (done must REJECT two of three review files) exists so the narrowing assertion cannot pass via a done that simply accepts anything. --- .../spec-1286-lane-selection.test.ts | 307 ++++++++++++++++++ packages/codev/src/commands/porch/config.ts | 32 ++ packages/codev/src/commands/porch/index.ts | 36 +- packages/codev/src/commands/porch/next.ts | 49 +-- 4 files changed, 355 insertions(+), 69 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/codev/src/commands/porch/__tests__/spec-1286-lane-selection.test.ts diff --git a/packages/codev/src/commands/porch/__tests__/spec-1286-lane-selection.test.ts b/packages/codev/src/commands/porch/__tests__/spec-1286-lane-selection.test.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..86fb19f22 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/codev/src/commands/porch/__tests__/spec-1286-lane-selection.test.ts @@ -0,0 +1,307 @@ +/** + * Spec 1286, Phase 5 — porch lane-selection resolver consolidation. + * + * Covers spec scenarios 4 (`modelsByType`), 5 (`byProtocol` / the PIR CMAP-2 cost guard), + * 6 (the precedence ladder), 7 (`none`/`parent` at every level), 8 (next/done agreement) and + * 11 (an invalid lane name rejected from BOTH commands). + * + * `porch next` and `porch done` each used to carry their own copy of this precedence logic, and the + * copies had drifted.

Someone who reads 'fails fast on invalid values' will reasonably expect a bad model id to be rejected at config time, and it will not be — what they get instead is a hard lane failure with the provider's error text, the config key named, and no review file written, so porch cannot advance on a lane that never ran. There is no model-id allowlist anywhere in Codev by design. Verified rather than asserted: every constant in the docs (lane names, effort values, pricing keys, id syntax, the medium default) was read from consult-lanes.ts and the codex dispatch site, and the documented example config was run through the real loadConfig and resolver in a temp workspace — PIR resolved to two lanes and SPIR to three, and injecting a typo'd lane name produced exactly the documented load-time error.

The config-layer list was wrong: no env layer exists and I had dropped the framework cache. I wrote that line from memory of how config stacks usually look rather than from config.ts, in a document whose whole value is being trusted instead of the code. Every other constant here was read out of the source; the one that wasn't is the one that was wrong. --model-id ships, parses, and appears in --help but was missing from the reference — the same 'registered, documented, inert' failure its own code comment cites as the thing it was built to avoid, one layer out. Now documented with the distinction users trip on (-m picks the lane, --model-id picks the model), precedence, supported lanes, and the hermes hard error. claude's catch on the gemini path was the sharpest, because my text was wrong rather than merely thin: the hard-failure gate keys on the RESOLVED id, not on config, so --model-id arms it too — a reader would have believed the flag left the lane in skip mode. Rewritten around the resolved id, and it now names what still skips even with an id (agy absent, unauthed, timed out, signal-killed), since those are environment causes rather than the model's fault. Also: pricing accepts only the codex lane and requires three finite non-negative rates, and the override outranks the shipped table for every model, not just unknown ones.

If a + future change needs the effective lane set, call that resolver — do not re-derive it. `next` + emitting one set while `done` demands another is a deadlock the user cannot debug, because neither + command prints what it derived. +- **Model ids are provider-authoritative; there is no allowlist.** Codev validates id *syntax* only + (`MODEL_ID_RE`).

Reasoning effort is the deliberate opposite — a closed enum bound to the + Codex SDK's type via `satisfies`, so SDK drift breaks the build rather than the behavior. +- **`consultation_metrics.model` stores the LANE name, `model_id` the provider id.** `consult stats` + groups on `model`. The table is created with `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` and has no migration + framework, so schema changes need a `PRAGMA table_info`-guarded `ALTER` that is safe under + parallel opens. +- **`MetricsDB`'s constructor runs under real parallelism.** A CMAP opens one connection per lane + simultaneously. `busy_timeout` must be set before anything that can contend, and a journal-mode + switch is not protected by it at all.

Beyond breaking CI (the unit job never builds + `packages/codev`), a *stale* `dist/` meant the test exercised the previous build while the source + was broken — and I had mutation-verified it against a fresh build, the one condition that hides + the flaw. Run children against source via `tsx`. +- **Mutation-verify every test, not just the hard ones.** Three assertions in this project could not + fail and sat inside green suites: a `.rejects.toThrow()` against a function that calls + `process.exit`, a tautology comparing one shared function to itself, and a file-existence check + standing in for "the row landed". A test counts only once you have seen it fail. +- **If a test needs prose explaining why it counts, it probably doesn't.** The tautology came with a + comment arguing that agreement was "structural rather than coincidental". That rationalization was + the tell. +- **Race-test sensitivity is not monotonic in the number of racers.** Ten racers detected a + regression *less* often than six (2/6 vs 4/5): more concurrent starts means more startup skew, and + a late arrival finds the work done and never contends. Synchronize on a readiness barrier so + contention lands on the resource under test. Pair a probabilistic reproduction with a + deterministic assertion (here: hold the write lock outright) — neither alone is sufficient. +- **A fix can weaken an existing test.** The WAL fix serialized openers at the journal switch, so + they stopped reaching the migration together and migration-race detection dropped to 2/5. Seeding + the fixture in the state production is actually in (WAL) restored it. Re-measure detection after + changing the code a race test targets. +- **In docs, verify what you write, not just what you quote.** Every constant read from source was + right; every line written from memory was wrong — an invented config-layer list, an unrunnable + shell example, `//` comments in a strict-JSON example, and invented pricing rates ~4× off. **A + wrong example is worse than a missing one**: the reader has no reason to doubt it and concludes + the tool is broken.
