📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds optional codexToolMode settings to providers and custom models. Routed entries omit tool_mode for "shell" and retain "code_mode_only" otherwise. Provider inheritance, synchronization, combo derivation, native aliases, and regression tests cover the behavior.

Changes

Codex tool mode configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool mode contracts and normalization
src/types.ts, src/codex/catalog/parsing.ts
Adds codexToolMode to provider and custom model configuration. Routed normalization removes tool_mode for "shell" and retains "code_mode_only" for other modes.
Catalog propagation and combo derivation
src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts, src/codex/catalog/sync.ts, src/codex/catalog/aggregation.ts
Propagates tool mode through provider hints, custom model replacement, routed entry paths, and combo model derivation. Combo models use "shell" only when all members use shell mode.
Tool mode behavior tests
tests/codex-tool-mode.test.ts
Tests default and shell modes, catalog output, declared exec_command calls, provider propagation, custom model inheritance and overrides, native capability aliases, and combo model behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 457a3

This change adds a shell-mode opt-out, but custom models without a matching catalog row may still fall back to code mode and continue triggering undeclared-tool handling or stream aborts. Merge should wait for that inheritance path to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

1873-1898: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Inherit the provider mode for non-replacing custom models.

base copies codexToolMode only from cm. The provider value is copied only through replaced, which exists only when discovery produced the same routed slug. A custom model that is absent from discovery, such as one used with liveModels: false, therefore ignores providers.<name>.codexToolMode: "shell" and returns to the "code_mode_only" default during catalog normalization.

Use effectiveProvider.codexToolMode as the fallback before the replaced merge. Keep an explicit cm.codexToolMode as the highest-precedence value. Add a regression test for a shell-mode provider and a custom model with no matching discovered row.

Proposed fix
-      ...(cm.codexToolMode !== undefined ? { codexToolMode: cm.codexToolMode } : {}),
+      ...(cm.codexToolMode !== undefined
+        ? { codexToolMode: cm.codexToolMode }
+        : effectiveProvider?.codexToolMode !== undefined
+          ? { codexToolMode: effectiveProvider.codexToolMode }
+          : {}),

This violates the per-provider shell opt-out objective. As per path instructions, changes must not bypass shared routing/config layers.

Update the fallback comment for shell mode.

When model?.codexToolMode === "shell", applyRoutedCodexToolMode removes tool_mode. The comment at Lines 363-364 says every routed fallback enables code-mode tool exposure. State that code mode is the default and shell mode is the explicit exception.

리뷰 · 우선순위 64 / 80

#2106을 푸는 카탈로그 패치다. 라우티드 모델이 Codex 카탈로그에 무조건 tool_mode: "code_mode_only"를 찍어서, DeepSeek V4 Flash처럼 최상위 exec_command를 내는 모델이 undeclared-tool-guard에 걸려 스트림이 죽는 문제를 막는다. 기본값은 그대로 code_mode_only이고, 프로바이더/커스텀 모델에 codexToolMode?: "code_mode_only" | "shell"을 넣으면 "shell"일 때 tool_mode를 지운다. hygiene 통과, review-ready, 체크리스트 4/4, 테스트 파일도 새로 있다. dev 방향(카탈로그 계약을 모델별로 정밀하게 여는 쪽)과 맞아서 64다. 기본을 뒤집는 변경이 아니라서 70까지는 안 간다.

코드 축은 여섯 파일이다. src/types.tsOcxProviderConfigOcxCustomModel에 필드를 추가하고, src/codex/catalog/parsing.tsapplyRoutedCodexToolMode() / normalizeRoutedCatalogEntry()가 세 번째 인자로 모드를 받는다. "shell"이면 delete entry.tool_mode이고 그 외는 기존처럼 ROUTED_CODEX_TOOL_MODE를 찍는다. src/codex/catalog/sync.tsderiveEntry()는 일반 라우티드 경로에서 model?.codexToolMode를 넘기고, codexForwardNativeCapabilityAlias가 켜진 네이티브 alias는 기존 정규화는 건너뛰되 모드가 있으면 applyRoutedCodexToolMode만 적용한다. fallback 엔트리도 같은 헬퍼를 탄다.

전파는 일관되다. src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts는 프로바이더 힌트에 prov.codexToolMode를 올리고, 커스텀 모델은 자기 값이 없으면 프로바이더 값을 물려받으며 명시 오버라이드가 이긴다. src/codex/catalog/aggregation.ts의 콤보는 멤버가 전부 "shell"일 때만 콤보에 codexToolMode: "shell"을 붙인다. 한 명이라도 비어 있으면 undefined라서 기본 code_mode_only로 돌아간다. 혼합 콤보를 조용히 shell로 올리지 않는 선택은 맞다.

tests/codex-tool-mode.test.ts가 기본/shell 적용, normalizeRoutedCatalogEntry, buildCatalogEntries, combo every-member, 커스텀 inherit/override, Daybreak alias를 잡는다. undeclared-tool-guard 테스트는 exec_command와이어에 선언된 뒤 가드가 통과하는지만 본다. 즉 카탈로그에서 tool_mode를 지운 것이 Codex 클라이언트가 실제로 exec_command를 선언한다는 증명까지는 아니다. 그 연결은 #2106 재현에 기대는 부분이다. src/config.ts Zod 스키마는 이 PR에 없다. dev의 로컬 트리에도 codexToolMode 키가 스키마에 안 보여서, 설정이 파싱 단계에서 빠지면 GUI/config.json에 써도 런타임 힌트가 안 살 수 있다. 패치는 추측하지 않음 — 이 브랜치의 src/config.ts를 여기서 다시 열어보지 않았다.

GUI/docs도 없다. 필드를 아는 사람만 JSON으로 켤 수 있다. applyRoutedCodexToolMode의 두 번째 인자가 string까지 받아서, 오타 값은 기본 code_mode_only로 떨어진다. 콤보 every 규칙은 문서화되어 있지 않다. 보안 서피스는 아니다. 카탈로그가 최상위 셸 툴을 열면 Codex 쪽 tool 목록이 커지고 #1830의 120KB 한도에 다시 닿을 수 있지만, 그건 opt-in이다.

해결방안

머지 전에 src/config.ts(그리고 커스텀 모델 스키마)에 codexToolMode enum을 넣고, 파싱 전후에 값이 살아남는지 테스트 한 줄을 추가하라. GUI는 필수 아니다. 스키마만 맞으면 이 점수로 메인테이너 리뷰 한 번 하고 머지해도 된다. 콤보 mixed-member가 기본으로 돌아가는 문장을 테스트 이름이나 주석에 남겨 두면 충분하다. #1830 한도 회귀는 이 PR에서 새로 열 필요는 없다.

The behavior is right — I checked that absence and "code_mode_only" both preserve the existing default exactly (src/codex/catalog/parsing.ts:430-440, :506-513), so this is not a default change wearing a fix's clothes. That was the main thing I wanted to be sure of.

One blocker: the field is never validated.

codexToolMode exists only in the TypeScript interfaces (src/types.ts:640-645, :1383-1390). It is not declared in providerConfigSchema, and that schema ends in .passthrough() (src/config.ts:736), so an unknown key survives untouched.

Confirmed at runtime: codexToolMode: "shel" (misspelled) is accepted by validateConfigCandidate, persisted, and then silently falls through to tool_mode: "code_mode_only". The user asked for shell mode, got code mode, and was told nothing. Same for a misspelled value on customModels.

The neighbouring fields in that schema all validate their enums — apiKeyTransport, upstreamHttpVersion, codexAccountMode (src/config.ts:708, :720, :728). Adding codexToolMode: z.enum(["code_mode_only", "shell"]).optional() there (and the equivalent on the custom-model schema) makes a typo fail loudly instead of silently.

One test note. Reverting the source leaves 3 of 11 green. Two are the default-preservation checks, which is fine — they are meant to hold both ways. The third is the "under shell mode with declared exec_command" case: it constructs a wire tool that is already declared, so it passes regardless of whether removing the catalog field is what makes Codex declare it. Worth reshaping so it fails when the fix is absent.

Also worth adding: the option is user-facing config, so it needs a line in the docs.

The field landed with lidge-jun#2112 in the TypeScript interfaces only. providerConfigSchema
never declared it and ends in .passthrough(), so an undeclared key survived
verbatim: codexToolMode: "shel" was accepted, persisted, and then silently
resolved to the code_mode_only default. The operator asked for shell mode, got
code mode, and was told nothing.

Every neighbouring enum in that schema is validated -- apiKeyTransport,
upstreamHttpVersion, codexAccountMode. This one had opted out, and passthrough
made that invisible.

The regression drives red: deleting the enum line fails the new test and nothing
else.
