Summary

Every context window the devin provider reported was wrong, and devin-cli reported none at all.

The shipped table had been assembled from each model's original vendor window rather than from what Cognition serves, so nine of its eleven rows disagreed with the service. devin-cli shipped without a table, so the picker used the 128k default for its whole roster — including swe-2, the roster's own default, whose real window is 262k.

model reported actual
claude-sonnet-5, claude-fable-5-1, claude-opus-4-8 200,000 1,000,000
grok-4-5 256,000 500,000
gpt-5-6-sol / luna / terra 1,050,000 1,000,000
swe-1-7 256,000 262,000
swe-1-7-lightning 256,000 202,752
kimi-k2-7 256,000 262,144
devin-cli/swe-2 and the rest of that roster 128,000 (default) 262,000 / 1,000,000 / 1,048,576

Where the numbers come from

Cognition publishes no context window anywhere. The Devin CLI and Desktop model pages, the SWE-2 and SWE-1.7 announcements, and the Windsurf model reference all name these models without one; the only figures on those pages are long-context pricing thresholds, which are a different quantity and were not used.

The per-account GetCascadeModelConfigs catalog does carry it, in ClientModelConfig field #18. The parser dropped that field on the floor. It now reads it, and fetchDevinUsableModels returns it, so live discovery reports the account's own number and the cloud provider becomes self-correcting rather than depending on a table somebody has to remember to update. The live value is applied before the config hints, so an explicit per-model override and an enabled Context cap still win.

Where one base id has variants that disagree — the opt-in -1m rows report more than the plain row and both collapse to the same base — the smallest is kept, because the base id routes to the plain variant.

The static tables are corrected to the same measured numbers and kept for degraded mode. devin-cli keeps a static table permanently: ACP has no discovery call. It uses the catalog's figures because Cognition documents the same models on both surfaces and describes no per-surface difference — the SWE-2 announcement ships it to Desktop, CLI, Web and Fusion in one sentence.

Reaching configs already saved

Correcting the registry fixes new installs only. enrichProviderFromRegistry is fill-only by design, so a config saved while the wrong numbers were current keeps them forever. projectStaleContextWindows runs in the existing startup repair pass and rewrites a window whose saved value is still exactly the wrong number this migration names, on a provider that still carries the registry's adapter. A value the user changed does not match and is left alone; nothing else in the row is touched. Same restraint as model-rename-migration, for the case where the id was right and the number was not.

Dry-run against a real saved config corrected 10 entries and touched nothing else.

Verification

Field #18 was identified by dumping a live catalog from a signed-in account and reading the varints back against models whose windows are known from their upstream vendors (1,000,000 on the Claude and GPT rows, 1,048,576 on Gemini/Kimi/GLM, 500,000 on Grok, 262,000 on swe-2).

Focused tests, all passing: tests/providers/devin-adapter.test.ts, tests/providers/devin-cli-adapter.test.ts, tests/providers/context-window-seed-repair.test.ts, plus tests/test-layout.test.ts and tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts for the new test file's layout entries.

Repository-wide bun run test and bun run typecheck: NOT RUN locally, per the operator constraint for this session. CI covers them on this head.

Checklist

  • Behavior change in src/ has focused regression tests
  • Targets dev
  • New test file registered in layout.json and the layout fixture
  • No logging of request bodies, keys, or account identifiers introduced
  • Local full suite / typecheck (deferred to CI by operator instruction)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Model catalogs now report context-window limits for Devin models discovered from live account data.
    • Devin CLI models now include accurate per-model context-window information.
    • Provider configuration preserves live limits while applying configured caps and overrides.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected inaccurate saved context-window values for affected Devin models.
    • Startup configuration repair now updates stale values while preserving user-selected settings.
    • Added safeguards for models associated with different providers.

The shipped window table for the `devin` provider had been assembled from each
model's ORIGINAL vendor rather than from what Cognition serves, so nine of its
eleven rows were wrong: the three Claude models claimed 200k against an actual
1M, grok-4-5 claimed 256k against 500k, and the GPT rows claimed 1.05M against
1M. `devin-cli` had no table at all, so every model there — including swe-2,
its default — reported the 128k fallback against a real 262k.

Cognition publishes no context window anywhere: not on the Devin CLI or Desktop
model pages, not in the SWE-2 or SWE-1.7 announcements, and not in the Windsurf
model reference, which has no such table. The only published numbers are
long-context pricing thresholds, a different quantity. The per-account
GetCascadeModelConfigs catalog carries the real figure in ClientModelConfig
field #18, so the catalog parser now reads it and live discovery reports it,
which makes the cloud provider self-correcting. The static tables are corrected
to the same measured numbers and kept for degraded mode.

Correcting the registry does not reach configs already saved, because
enrichProviderFromRegistry is fill-only by design. A startup repair rewrites a
window whose saved value is still exactly the wrong number, on a provider that
still carries the registry's adapter; a value the user changed does not match
and is left alone.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds accurate Devin CLI and live context-window metadata, parses per-account windows from catalog responses, applies them during model discovery, and repairs stale saved Devin values during startup.

Changes

Devin context-window discovery and metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Live catalog and provider metadata
src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/catalog.ts, src/adapters/devin/live-models.ts, src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts, src/providers/registry.ts
Catalog parsing reads ClientModelConfig field 18. Live Devin discovery returns per-model windows. Provider discovery applies live windows before configured hints. The registry exposes CLI model windows.
CLI and live-model validation
src/adapters/devin-cli/models.ts, tests/providers/devin-adapter.test.ts, tests/providers/devin-cli-adapter.test.ts
The CLI roster receives explicit windows. Tests validate catalog parsing, corrected live values, positive coverage, roster alignment, and registry wiring.

Saved context-window repair

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stale-value migration and startup wiring
src/providers/stale-context-window-migration.ts, src/providers/model-rename-startup.ts
The migration rewrites only exact stale values on providers that still match the registry adapter. Startup now combines this repair with model renames and returns combined warnings and change state.
Migration tests and test layout
tests/providers/context-window-seed-repair.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Tests cover corrections, user overrides, adapter changes, missing providers, and correction-table validity. The new test is assigned to the providers layout domain.

P1 Badge Preserve the live Devin window through hint application

For a normal registry-enriched Devin provider, prov.modelContextWindows[id] contains the static window. Because catalogHintsFromProviderConfig derives hints from a model with no discovered window, it returns that static value, and this later spread overwrites liveWindow for every seeded model. Consequently, whenever field #18 differs by account or changes upstream, the catalog still advertises the static value, potentially causing premature compaction or requests that Cognition rejects. Pass the live model through the existing hint derivation and treat registry metadata only as a fallback while retaining explicit user caps.

P1 Badge Synchronize the owned structure documentation

This changes the provider catalog source-of-truth, context-window precedence, and persisted-config startup repair across src/adapters/, src/codex/, and src/providers/, but the commit contains no structure/ updates. Update the documents mapped to those source areas in structure/INDEX.md so the maintained architecture and invariants describe the new live-window and migration behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a null-prototype record for catalog model IDs.

If the upstream catalog returns modelUid "__proto__", collapseDevinModelUid preserves it. The normal object lookup at src/adapters/devin/live-models.ts:122 returns Object.prototype, and the assignment at line 123 cannot create a numeric own property. src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts:1734 then reads that inherited object and can emit it as CatalogModel.contextWindow.

-    const contextWindows: Record<string, number> = {};
+    const contextWindows: Record<string, number> = Object.create(null);

설명

이 PR은 지금 dev 끝(c7e4d5c66, #4322 Devin 마크/devin-cli dashboardPreset 직후)에서 Cognition이 실제로 주는 context window를 픽커·오토컴팩트·라우팅에 맞게 고친다. HEAD의 src/adapters/devin/live-models.ts DEVIN_MODEL_CONTEXT_WINDOWS는 Claude 세 줄을 200k, grok-4-5를 256k, GPT 줄을 1.05M으로 적어 두었는데, 이건 각 모델의 원래 벤더 숫자를 가져온 값이라 Cognition 카탈로그와 아홉 줄이 어긋난다. devin-clisrc/adapters/devin-cli/models.ts에 윈도우 표가 없어 픽커가 기본 128k를 썼고, 로스터 기본 swe-2도 실제 262k의 절반 미만으로 보였다. 창이 작게 잡히면 긴 세션이 일찍 잘리고, 크게 잡히면 서비스가 거절할 수 있다.

고치는 층이 세 겹이다. (1) src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/catalog.tsparseCatalogBufferClientModelConfig 필드 #18을 읽어 contextWindow로 올리고, fetchDevinUsableModels가 base id별 contextWindows 맵을 함께 돌려준다. 같은 base로 접히는 -1m 변형이 더 큰 값을 줄 때는 최솟값을 남긴다. base id 요청은 plain 변형으로 가기 때문이다. (2) 정적 표 DEVIN_MODEL_CONTEXT_WINDOWS와 새 DEVIN_CLI_MODEL_CONTEXT_WINDOWS를 같은 측정값으로 맞추고, CLI는 ACP에 discovery가 없으니 표를 유지한 채 src/providers/registry.tsdevin-cli 행에 연결한다. (3) enrichProviderFromRegistry는 채우기만 하므로 예전에 저장된 잘못된 숫자는 남는다. src/providers/stale-context-window-migration.tsprojectStaleContextWindows가 startup rename 패스(projectStartupConfigRepairsrunModelRenameStartupMigration)에 붙어, 값이 정확히 옛 틀린 숫자이고 어댑터가 레지스트리와 같을 때만 고친다. 사용자가 손댄 값은 from과 안 맞아서 건드리지 않는다.

src/codex/catalog/provider-fetch.ts의 Devin live 경로에서는 live 창을 객체에 먼저 넣고 catalogHintsFromProviderConfig를 뒤에 스프레드한다. 의도는 명시 override와 Context cap은 이기고, 아무도 고르지 않은 시드 숫자만 live가 대체한다는 것이다. 테스트는 tests/providers/devin-adapter.test.ts(파서·표), devin-cli-adapter.test.ts(로스터↔표), context-window-seed-repair.test.ts(수리/보존/어댑터 스킵)와 layout 등록까지 있다. #4322·#4318·#4292 Devin 트레인 위의 실사용 정확도 수정이라 점수가 높다. types/config 스플릿과 무관하다.

라인 (provider-fetch live 맵 스프레드) - 주석은 live를 먼저 넣고 config hint가 이긴다고 한다. 그런데 catalogHintsFromProviderConfig는 live 창을 인자로 받지 않고 { id, provider: name }만 넘긴다. 저장된 modelContextWindows에 옛 시드가 있으면 hint가 live를 통째로 덮어쓴다. 마이그레이션이 부팅 때 그 시드를 고치므로 정상 경로에선 곧 맞지만, 라이브 discovery만으로 이미 저장된 틀린 시드가 스스로 고쳐진다는 본문 설명은 과하다. 시드 수리(3)가 있어야 기존 설치가 고친다.

라인 (applyProviderConfigHints / Context cap) - live 창을 hint 입력 model에 안 실어서 discovery 창과 provider Context cap의 Math.min 경로를 타지 않는다. 해당 모델 키가 config에 없고 Context cap만 켜진 경우 hint가 창 없음 → cap을 창으로 쓴다 분기로 live를 덮을 수 있다. cap이 live보다 크면 Cognition이 주는 창보다 큰 값을 광고할 여지가 있다. live를 model에 실어 hint에 넣으면 주석과 구현이 같아진다.

경로 ClientModelConfig 필드 #18 - 공개 문서가 아니라 라이브 카탈로그 varint를 벤더 창과 대조해 찾은 값이다. 스키마가 바뀌면 파서가 잘못된 숫자를 읽을 수 있다. 0/부재는 필드를 생략해 static fallback을 쓰는 방어는 맞다.

경로 DEVIN_MODEL_CONTEXT_WINDOWS vs DEVIN_STATIC_MODELS - 윈도우 표에 swe-2, gpt-6-astra, claude-opus-5 등이 더 생겼는데 static 로스터는 예전 11개다. degraded 로스터에 없는 id는 픽커에 안 나오니 실해는 작다. glm-5-2는 200k로 남아 STALE_CONTEXT_WINDOWS에도 없다. 카탈로그 측정이 200k면 맞다.

경로 STALE_CONTEXT_WINDOWS - devin 10줄만 exact match. CLI는 예전에 표가 없어 fill-only enrich로 새 표가 들어가므로 stale 이주가 필요 없다. enrich는 modelContextWindows 맵이 이미 있으면 통째로 건너뛰므로, 기존 맵에 없는 새 id 키는 live 경로에 맡기는 선택이다.

경로 테스트/CI - focused 테스트와 layout 등록은 좋다. 로컬 full suite는 안 돌렸고 CI에 맡긴 상태다. test/macOS 샤드 초록을 보고 머지하면 된다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • live 창을 applyProviderConfigHints 입력 model에 실어 Context cap/modelContextWindowsmin으로 합칠지, 지금처럼 hint가 있으면 live 폐기를 유지할지
  • 필드 #18을 주기적으로 라이브 스모크할지, 아니면 이번 측정 + fallback으로 충분한지
  • glm-5-2 200k와 static 로스터 미확장을 그대로 둘지
  • CI 초록 직후 바로 머지할지, hint 선행 수정까지 같은 PR에 넣을지

너의 추천
CI(관련 provider 테스트·typecheck)가 초록이면 dev에 머지해도 된다. 가능하면 live 창을 hint에 통과시켜 live 먼저 + override/cap이 이긴다를 숫자 min으로 맞추면 주석과 구현이 일치한다. 그건 후속 작은 패치로 나눠도 충분하고, 마이그레이션·정적 표·CLI 표·파서 테스트는 이미 가치가 있다. types/config 스플릿과 무관하니 close-don't-rebase 대상이 아니다.
