fix(codex): decide flagship model availability by roster and refusal evidence - #4921
Conversation
…evidence (#4906) A pool holding Plus and Free Codex accounts keeps sending gpt-5.6-sol and gpt-6-astra to a Free account and taking the upstream unsupported-model 400, after a quota refresh and a catalog sync, with no alternate attempt. The ordering rules #4797 added are present and correct; they just have no evidence to act on. Both read cachedDeniedCodexAccountIdsForModel, which is cache-only by contract, and the roster cache it reads expires five minutes after a catalog sync fills it. Nothing on the flagship request path refills it, because resolveCodexModelEntitlements is awaited only for ACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_OPENAI_MODELS, which holds Daybreak alone since the 2026-09-04 owner decision. So for most requests the denial set is absent, withoutModelDeniedAccounts and preferModelEntitledAccount are the identity function, and the pool selects on quota alone. The refusal itself was the missing evidence. A 400 whose body is exactly "The '<model>' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account." is authenticated, account-specific and model-specific. It was spent on one retry and discarded, so the next request repeated the same selection. It is now recorded per account and model in a bounded six-hour store and unioned into cachedDeniedCodexAccountIdsForModel. It stays evidence rather than a gate: consumers treat it exactly like a roster denial, so restore-on-empty and the pin exemption still hold, no model is hidden from any catalog, and nothing is refused before dispatch. A confirmed roster grant for the same pair outranks it, a successful response clears it, and a credential identity change discards it. Availability is never inferred from a plan name or from remaining quota. Detection now reads the model upstream actually named instead of rebuilding the sentence from route.modelId. applyCodexAccountGatedWireNormalization rewrites Daybreak to gpt-5.6-sol before dispatch, so upstream names Sol while the route still says Daybreak; the comparison never matched, which silently disabled both the alternate-account retry and the eight-rung same-account ladder that exists for exactly that model.

When an alternate-account retry or a later same-account ladder attempt succeeds, this block records refusals but never clears an earlier refusal for the account/model. The caller's success-clearing block ran before retryCodexPoolOnAlternateAccount, so it cannot observe this response; for example, a Daybreak retry that first receives a Sol refusal and then succeeds still leaves that account denied for direct Sol routing for up to six hours. Clear both the routed and wire-model pairs when upstreamResponse.ok here, just as the initial-send path does.

When an account is reauthenticated while it has no cached roster entry—which is common for flagship-only traffic because that path does not fetch rosters—cached is undefined, so this is never called and the denial gathered under the old subscription remains attached to the reused account ID for up to six hours. The new credential can therefore be incorrectly deprioritized despite never refusing the model. Associate evidence with the credential identity or clear it directly at credential mutation boundaries rather than only upon finding a mismatched roster entry.

Bind observed denial evidence to the credential identity.
observedDeniedCodexAccountIdsForModel retains denials for six hours but returns account IDs only (src/codex/observed-model-denials.ts:36-46, 119-132). The loop at src/codex/model-entitlements.ts:1300-1305 applies each denial without checking the current credential identity. Cleanup runs only when needsEntitlementRefresh finds a mismatched current-version roster entry (src/codex/model-entitlements.ts:877-884). If credential replacement occurs without that entry, the old denial remains and incorrectly deprioritizes the replacement credential.
Clear observed denial evidence atomically with credential replacement, or store the credential identity with each denial and ignore mismatched entries. Add a regression test for a recorded denial, no matching roster-cache entry, credential replacement, and a subsequent lookup.

Clear denial evidence after a successful retry.
Line 844 records a refusal for retryAuthCtx, but this retry loop does not clear prior evidence when a later upstreamResponse.ok succeeds. The passthrough success branch runs before retryCodexPoolOnAlternateAccount, so it cannot clear the retry response.
A same-account Daybreak retry can therefore serve Sol successfully while the Sol denial remains. After the roster entry expires, that stale denial still biases pool selection for up to six hours.
Clear evidence for both route.modelId and parsed.modelId when the retry response is successful. Record evidence only for a confirmed refusal. Add a regression test for a refusal followed by a successful retry.

Summary
A Codex pool holding Plus and Free accounts keeps sending
gpt-5.6-solandgpt-6-astrato aFree account and taking the upstream unsupported-model 400, after a quota refresh and a catalog
sync, with
attempts: 1and no alternate attempt.The ordering rules #4797 added are present at the tip and are correct. They simply have no
evidence to act on.
withoutModelDeniedAccountsandpreferModelEntitledAccountboth readcachedDeniedCodexAccountIdsForModel, which is cache-only by contract, and the roster cache itreads expires five minutes after a catalog sync fills it (
MODEL_ROSTER_TTL_MS). Nothing on theflagship request path refills it:
resolveCodexModelEntitlementsis awaited only forACCOUNT_GATED_NATIVE_OPENAI_MODELS, which has heldgpt-daybreak-blue-latestalone since the2026-09-04 owner decision. So for most requests the denial set is
undefined, both ordering rulesare the identity function, and the pool selects on quota alone — which is the Free account.
The refusal itself was the missing evidence. A 400 whose body is exactly
The '<model>' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account.is authenticated, account-specific andmodel-specific. It was spent on one retry and then discarded, so the next request repeated the
same selection and took the same 400.
What changed
src/codex/observed-model-denials.ts(new) records a confirmed refusal per (account, model) ina bounded store with a six-hour retention.
cachedDeniedCodexAccountIdsForModelunions that evidence with the roster-derived denials.account successfully serves that model.
retryCodexPoolOnAlternateAccountrecords it for thealternate account too, so a second denied account is not chosen next time either.
route.modelId.applyCodexAccountGatedWireNormalizationrewrites Daybreak togpt-5.6-solbefore dispatch, so upstream names Sol while the route still says Daybreak; the comparison never
matched, which silently disabled both the alternate-account retry and the eight-rung
same-account ladder that exists for exactly that model.
What this deliberately is not
It stays evidence for ordering, not a gate. Consumers treat an observed refusal exactly like a
roster denial, so
withoutModelDeniedAccountsstill restores denied members when filtering wouldempty the candidate list,
preferModelEntitledAccountstill returns the active account unchangedwhen no entitled alternative exists, and an operator's manual pin is still exempt. No model is
hidden from any catalog and nothing is refused before dispatch, so the 2026-09-04 decision that
the flagships fail open is untouched — as is the #3022 guard against inferring absence.
Availability is decided by the authenticated roster and by upstream error evidence only. A plan
name is never consulted, and neither is remaining quota. Three paths reverse a recorded refusal: a
confirmed roster grant for the same pair outranks it, a successful response clears it, and a
change of credential identity discards every pair for that account.
Recording is scoped to the always-visible flagships, so a 400 anywhere else cannot steer routing,
and only the exact allow-listed body is admissible — a bare 400 status is not, because that is
also what a malformed request earns.
Closes #4906.
Verification
Local suites were not run for this change, by explicit maintainer instruction; correctness is
argued from source and proven by hosted CI at this head.
tests/codex-integration/codex-model-denial-evidence.test.ts(new) covers the reader and thedetector: a recorded refusal denies an account with no roster cached at all; a confirmed roster
grant outranks it; a success clears only that pair; the evidence outlives the five-minute roster
window and still expires at six hours; models outside the always-visible set are not recorded;
an excluded account stays unknown rather than denied. For the detector it pins extraction of the
refused model, rejection of every neighbouring 400 shape, and the wire-model match that the
Daybreak path needs.
scripts/test-layout/layout.jsonandtests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json.structure/providers/openai-tiers.mdrecords the two-source evidence contract, since thischanges an area that doc owns.
Cross-platform CIat this exact head is the gate.Checklist
