Summary

Respond to the GPT-5.6 release (2026-07-09): refresh the Codex model catalog around the new Sol/Terra/Luna family with gpt-5.6-terra as the default, and extend the Codex reasoning-effort scale with the new max/ultra tiers.

Changes

Features

  • providers: add gpt-5.6-sol (frontier/high), gpt-5.6-terra (heavy/medium), and gpt-5.6-luna (light/low) to the Codex catalog; keep gpt-5.5 as the previous-generation fallback
  • providers: make gpt-5.6-terra the Codex default model across shortcuts (Alt+2→Terra, Alt+3→Sol), task presets, and the recommended selector group
  • providers: extend codexReasoningEffort with max and ultra (GPT-5.6 Codex CLI scale) across provider types, IPC schemas, store settings, the effort cycle, and the settings picker
  • workspace: switch the turn-summary light model default from gpt-5.4-mini to gpt-5.6-luna

Refactors / Chores

  • providers: retire gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, and gpt-5.3-codex-spark from the picker; legacy display names and effort heuristics kept so historical records still render correctly
  • providers: drop legacy minimal effort from selectable options; persisted values still validate and normalize to low at runtime
  • docs: update provider-runtimes, command-palette, and workspace-latest-turn-summary docs for the new lineup and effort scale

Test Evidence

  • bun run typecheck passes
  • Focused suites pass (110 tests): model-catalog, model-shortcuts, model-selector-utils, task-presets, codex-runtime-options, chat-input.runtime, ipc-schemas, provider-runtime-options, codex-app-server-runtime, auto-routing, workspace-turn-summary

Notes

  • Claude effort scale was reviewed as part of this work: no new tiers upstream (low..max unchanged), so no Claude-side changes
  • Codex App Server passes effort through as a plain string (turn.effort / plan_mode_reasoning_effort), so no protocol changes were needed
  • GPT-5.6 per-model default efforts are set in MODEL_CAPABILITIES and easy to retune

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- Replace the Codex picker lineup with gpt-5.6-sol/terra/luna plus gpt-5.5
  as the previous-generation fallback; gpt-5.4 variants and codex-spark
  move to legacy display names only
- Make gpt-5.6-terra the Codex default model (shortcuts, presets,
  recommended group) and switch the turn-summary light model to
  gpt-5.6-luna
- Extend codexReasoningEffort with max/ultra across provider types, IPC
  schemas, store settings, effort cycle, and the settings picker; drop
  legacy minimal from selectable options while still validating and
  normalizing persisted values to low
- Claude effort scale reviewed: no new tiers upstream, no changes needed
