Summary

#7705: an opt-in, per-provider alias template, implemented as the design approved on the issue: derived at resolution time, Manual > Builtin > Template precedence, symmetric collision skips, no config writes from catalog reads.

"providers": { "command-code": { "alias": "CC", "aliasTemplate": "{providerAlias}-{modelBasename}", … } }

command-code/reflection/beam:free becomes CC-beam-free, and a model discovered tomorrow gets its alias as soon as it is listed, with no ocx alias set.

  • Grammar: only the literal {providerAlias} and {modelBasename} placeholders exist, and {modelBasename} is required. The basename is the final / segment with : written as -. Any other brace content is invalid, nothing is evaluated, and the template is capped at 128 characters. A template using {providerAlias} does nothing for a provider without an alias.
  • Precedence and reservation (templateAliasPlan in src/providers/default-aliases.ts): only models without a manual or built-in alias get a candidate. A candidate is skipped, never renamed, when it is not a valid alias, uses a reserved prefix (gpt-, o1-, o3-, o4-, codex-), or matches anything already claimed: a native id or alias of the provider, a built-in alias name, a provider name or alias, another provider's manual alias, or a combo id or alias. Two models producing the same name are both skipped, so the result is the same in any roster order. Two providers whose templates produce the same bare name hit the existing ambiguity error, and the <provider-alias>/<alias> form still works.
  • Resolution: effectiveModelAliases and resolveModelAlias take an optional providerName. All seven callers (router, catalog gather, /v1/models, client export, /api/aliases, provider completion test) pass it, so routing, catalog and exports agree. A caller without the name sees exactly the old view.
  • Surfaces: PUT /api/providers/{provider}/alias-template with { template | null } validates, saves, and previews the generated count plus skipped ids with their reason (bounded). It is registered in MANAGEMENT_ROUTES. GET /api/aliases adds templates, and generated rows carry source: "template". The CLI gains ocx alias template set|rm|show, plus capability entries and the regenerated skills/ocx surface. An invalid template in a hand-edited config.json is dropped with a warning instead of failing the load. The field is editor-policy like alias/modelAliases.
  • Docs: a new Model alias templates section in the model-routing guide, with pointers from the provider configuration reference (that page is at its 2,000-line limit) and from the CLI reference.

aliasTemplate is an alias overlay like alias and modelAliases: a full provider POST may only round-trip the stored value and PATCH refuses it. Any live write that still carries one (the provider editor batch, ocx config set) is checked against the template grammar, so only a valid template can be stored; load still drops a malformed hand edit on its own.

Provider lookups in the alias write routes (/alias, /model-aliases, /default-aliases, and the new /alias-template) now require an own provider key (hasOwnProvider). Before, a name such as __proto__ resolved to Object.prototype and the write landed on every object; it is now a 404.

Closes #7705

Verification

  • Fail-first on origin/dev: the new tests/providers/provider-alias-template.test.ts covers grammar, basename normalization, invalid, reserved and missing-alias skips, each precedence rule, symmetric collisions in both roster orders, combo/builtin/cross-provider reservation, the skip report, bare and qualified routing, removal, and load-time sanitizing. New cases in tests/server/alias-management-api.test.ts cover set, preview, list, clear, invalid and 404. New cases in tests/cli/cli-alias-json.test.ts cover template set/rm/show and usage errors.
  • Existing alias suites (provider-model-aliases, alias API, alias CLI) pass unchanged: 48 pass. Capability, skill, headless-parity and route-registry suites pass.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check, bun run skill:surface:check, layout/ratchet/Lab/structure guards: pass. The test file is registered in the layout-providers.json shard, because layout.json is at its cap.
  • bun run test:changed (55,244 tests): the one failure caused here was the deliberate convergence-route inventory in codex-convergence-contract.test.ts. It now counts 16 and names the alias-template route among the alias write routes that converge (38 pass). Two remaining failures reproduce on unchanged origin/dev (catalog-omit-disabled-native > retained sync …, update-stop-first > npm launcher restarts …).
  • Cross-provider names: two providers' templates may produce the same name. Generated names from other providers are not reserved, because reserving them would hide both aliases even under their provider-qualified names. The router already refuses an ambiguous bare alias (model alias 'beam-t' is ambiguous: CC/beam-t, dd/beam-t), as it does for duplicate manual and built-in aliases, so neither provider wins silently. A new routing case pins that and checks both qualified names still route. It is a characterization test of existing router behavior, so it passed when added.
  • After merging origin/dev (87e005f93c): only the generated skills/ocx/references/01_management_surface.md conflicted and was regenerated with bun run skill:surface; the PR's own diff against dev is unchanged (27 files). On head eec8da8381: focused alias/CLI/API/convergence/route-registry suites 70 pass; typecheck, privacy, structure, skill-surface and layout/ratchet/Lab/skill guards pass (78 pass). bun run test:changed (55,284 tests): 26 failures. 16 fail identically when their files run alone on unchanged origin/dev (real npm / Codex CLI install tests, catalog-omit-disabled-native, update-stop-first). The other 10 (native-codex-toggle, ocx-launcher-desktop-handoff, native-ultrafast-picker) pass when their files run alone on this head (70 pass, 0 fail).
  • Lookup fix (head f9d0c99ed9): a new case in tests/server/alias-management-api.test.ts sends each alias write to __proto__, constructor and toString and requires 404 with Object.prototype untouched; it failed with 200 before the fix. Alias API/template/CLI suites 33 pass; typecheck passes. The PR's test changed CI job covers this head.
  • Security review fix (head b82caf63c7): two new cases in tests/server/alias-management-api.test.ts failed before it: a live config candidate carrying {vendor}-{modelBasename} validated, and /api/default-aliases with provider: "__proto__" answered 200. They now refuse (schema_invalid: providers.<name>.aliasTemplate: …, 400 from POST /api/providers, 404). ocx config set providers.t.aliasTemplate '{vendor}-{modelBasename}' in an isolated home refuses with the same reason. Alias/template/CLI/provider-validation suites 173 pass; typecheck, privacy, structure, skill surface, layout/ratchet/Lab and convergence-contract guards pass.
  • NOT RUN: full bun run test; a live discovered roster; local test:changed on the lookup-fix commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional per-provider alias templates for generating model aliases from provider and model names. Manual and built-in aliases take precedence, and conflicting generated aliases are skipped.
    • Added CLI commands and API support to set, show, and remove templates, with a preview of generated and skipped aliases.
    • Updated configuration and CLI guides with template syntax, validation, and precedence details.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid templates in hand-edited configuration now generate a warning and are ignored. Invalid templates submitted through configuration updates are rejected.

#7705, as approved: a provider may set aliasTemplate (for example
"{providerAlias}-{modelBasename}") to name every model that has no manual or
built-in alias. Aliases are derived at resolution time and never written to
config, so a newly discovered model gets its alias immediately and removing the
template removes them.

Only the literal {providerAlias} and {modelBasename} placeholders exist and the
basename is required. Manual > Builtin > Template. A candidate is skipped, never
renamed, when it is invalid, uses a reserved prefix, or matches anything already
claimed (native ids, provider aliases, built-in alias names, provider names,
other providers' manual aliases, combo ids and aliases); colliding candidates
are both skipped so the result is roster-order invariant.

effectiveModelAliases/resolveModelAlias take an optional providerName that all
seven callers pass. PUT /api/providers/{provider}/alias-template validates,
saves and previews; GET /api/aliases lists templates and template-sourced rows;
ocx alias template set|rm|show; an invalid hand-edited template is dropped with
a warning at load.

Closes #7705

Maintainer judgment

  • Value: providers with live discovery get consistent short names for every model, including ones released later, without an external polling job.
  • UX change scope: a new opt-in config field, one management route, and three ocx alias template subcommands. /api/aliases gains templates and a template source.
  • Existing users: nothing changes without a template. Callers that do not pass a provider name see the exact old alias view. Manual and built-in aliases always win, and a template name never takes a selector already claimed.
  • Windows: no platform code.
  • Verification scope: fail-first pure, routing, API, CLI and load tests, existing alias suites unchanged, test:changed across the suite with the convergence inventory updated deliberately, and typecheck, privacy, structure, skill surface and guards.
  • NOT RUN: full bun run test; a live discovered roster. There is no GUI control for templates yet (CLI/API only).

Walkthrough

This change adds opt-in, per-provider alias templates for model IDs. It validates and expands templates, includes generated aliases in runtime resolution and catalog reporting, and adds management API and CLI operations to set, remove, and show templates.

Changes: Provider Alias Templates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Template contract and alias planning
src/types/provider.ts, src/config/schema/leaf-validators.ts, src/config/diagnostics.ts, src/config/load-degrade.ts, src/providers/alias-template.ts, src/providers/default-aliases.ts, src/providers/model-rename-fields.ts, tests/providers/provider-alias-template.test.ts
Provider configuration accepts an optional aliasTemplate. Validation checks template length, braces, placeholders, and the required {modelBasename}. Expansion normalizes the model basename. Alias planning skips invalid, colliding, or reserved generated aliases. Load sanitization removes invalid templates with a warning.
Runtime alias resolution
src/router.ts, src/server/index/serve-options.ts, src/clients/config-export/alias-selectors.ts, src/codex/catalog/routed-gather.ts, src/server/management/provider-completion-test.ts, tests/providers/provider-alias-template.test.ts
Runtime resolution and alias selection pass provider identity to the alias resolver. Tests cover routing through generated aliases.
Management API and catalog updates
src/server/management/model-routes.ts, src/server/management/provider-routes.ts, src/server/management/route-registry.ts, src/server/auth-cors.ts, tests/server/alias-management-api.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-convergence-contract.test.ts
The aliases response includes configured templates and marks generated aliases with source template. The new PUT route validates, stores, or clears a template, converges the catalog, and returns a preview when configured. Provider lookups in related alias routes require own provider keys.
CLI commands and reference material
src/cli/alias.ts, src/cli/capabilities-provider-models.ts, tests/cli/cli-alias-json.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/model-routing.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/*, skills/ocx/references/*, scripts/test-layout/layout-providers.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
CLI commands set, remove, and show templates. Tests cover command requests and argument errors. The guide, references, capability index, and test-layout mappings include the new commands and test.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review cea34

A generated alias can be displayed for one model but resolve differently, and template changes can appear successful without being saved or remain active after a failed save. Resolve these inconsistencies before merging.

Explanation

Issue [#7705] requires an opt-in provider template, automatic aliases only for models without manual or built-in aliases, distinct generated rows, skipped invalid or colliding candidates, and unchanged behavior without a template. src/providers/alias-template.ts validates the two-place­holder grammar, requires {modelBasename}, normalizes the final model-ID segment, and reports skip reasons. src/providers/default-aliases.ts implements manual > built-in > template precedence, reservation checks, and order-independent collision skips in templateAliasPlan; effectiveModelAliases marks accepted rows with source: "template" only when a provider name and template are present. The router, catalog, /v1/models, client export, aliases API, and provider-completion callers pass provider context. src/server/management/model-routes.ts adds validated set, clear, preview, and list behavior. src/cli/alias.ts adds template set|rm|show. src/config/load-degrade.ts sanitizes malformed hand-edited templates, while write validation rejects malformed live configuration. The added provider, API, CLI, and routing tests cover generation, precedence, collisions, reporting, removal, and load sanitization.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes remain connected to [#7705]. Documentation explains the new template feature. Capability declarations, the generated skill surface, route registration, layout metadata, convergence checks, and tests register or validate the new API and CLI surfaces. Alias-resolution caller updates, configuration sanitization, provider overlay policy, and write-time validation support consistent template behavior. The hasOwnProvider checks in src/server/management/model-routes.ts prevent prototype-key writes on the affected alias routes and are covered by tests/server/alias-management-api.test.ts; this is a directly related security correction. No unrelated change is demonstrated by the supplied whole-PR evidence.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 20 functions across 22 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

P2 Badge Reserve encoded native IDs before accepting template aliases

When a generated alias equals another model's slash-encoded ID, the plan accepts an alias that resolves to the wrong model. For example, with models a/bar and v/a-bar and template {modelBasename}, this generates a-bar for v/a-bar, but requesting p/a-bar resolves to a/bar: the explicit-provider branch in src/router.ts decodes known native IDs before consulting aliases. Reserve encodeRoutedModelId(id) alongside each raw native ID, and add a regression test covering qualified routing for this collision.

P1 Badge Update the owned architecture docs for template aliases

This commit changes shared routing and provider configuration without updating any structure/ documents. src/AGENTS.md explicitly requires updating the architecture documents mapped to changed source areas in the same change; structure/INDEX.md assigns src/router.ts to structure/runtime.md and configuration code to structure/config.md. Document the new derived-alias configuration, precedence, collision rules, and routing behavior in the owning architecture documents rather than updating only the public guides.

Cache the alias map per provider.

In src/server/index/serve-options.ts:1258-1274, each row runs effectiveModelAliases again. With an aliasTemplate, each call rebuilds the reserved names and sorts and expands the provider’s known IDs. For a large provider roster, this can cause at least quadratic work per request.

Cache the promise before awaiting it so concurrent rows share the same computation.

Label template aliases separately in the dashboard.

In gui/src/pages/Models.tsx:2145, template aliases appear as user aliases. This hides which aliases follow the provider template. Extend AliasView and add a distinct label in every locale file.

Suggested fix

-  models: Record<string, Record<string, { alias: string; source: "user" | "builtin"; stale?: boolean }>>;
+  models: Record<string, Record<string, { alias: string; source: "user" | "builtin" | "template"; stale?: boolean }>>;
-              <span className="models-chip muted text-caption">{value.source === "builtin" ? t("models.aliasAuto") : t("models.aliasUser")}</span>
+              <span className="models-chip muted text-caption">{value.source === "builtin" ? t("models.aliasAuto") : value.source === "template" ? t("models.aliasTemplate") : t("models.aliasUser")}</span>

Extend the model alias source type in the models mapping and the dashboard’s AliasView to represent template aliases, then update the alias label rendering in Models.tsx to display a distinct template label while preserving the existing builtin and user labels; add the corresponding translation key to every locale file.

Two providers whose templates produce the same name leave the bare name
ambiguous and keep each provider-qualified name routable.

PUT /api/providers/<name>/alias, /model-aliases and /alias-template read
config.providers[name], so an inherited key such as __proto__ resolved to
Object.prototype and the write landed on every object. All three now
require an own provider and answer 404 otherwise.

Report template aliases shadowed by another provider’s model

In src/providers/default-aliases.ts:147-153, the reservation set omits other providers’ native IDs. For example, CC-beam-free can be generated for cc/reflection/beam:free while an active provider lists CC-beam-free in models[]. The CLI advertises the alias, but a bare request routes to that other provider’s model.

Detect and report collisions with active providers’ bare model selectors. Preserve provider-qualified alias resolution.

Validate templates in the provider editor write path.

PUT /api/providers can save {unknown}-{modelBasename} without calling aliasTemplateError. For a model named beam, this can produce the alias beam-beam in the live alias view and catalog. A later config load removes the template, so the alias disappears after restart.

Validate new or changed editor templates with aliasTemplateError before persistence. Keep removal of the field supported.

src/codex/catalog/routed-gather.ts:794
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Plan catalog template aliases against the router’s model IDs.

At src/codex/catalog/routed-gather.ts:794, catalog-only planning can advertise an alias that the router skips. For example, discovery can drop configured b/x-free and expose a/x:free as CC/CC-x-free. The router still knows both IDs, so it skips their colliding aliases and passes CC-x-free through instead of resolving it to a/x:free.

Plan template display aliases against the router’s known-ID set and retain the existing manual and built-in alias behavior. Check that a generated alias routes to the displayed model before publishing it.

aliasTemplate is an alias overlay like alias and modelAliases: a full
provider POST may only round-trip the stored value and PATCH refuses it.
Any live write that still carries one (the provider editor batch, ocx
config set) is checked against the same grammar the alias-template route
uses; load keeps dropping a malformed hand edit on its own.

/api/default-aliases now also requires an own provider key, so
__proto__ is a 404 instead of a write to Object.prototype.

Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Restore the in-memory template if persistence fails before publication.

Line 345 changes the live provider before persistConfig(config) runs. If persistence fails before publishing the write, the request fails but runtime alias resolution still sees the new template. A later config save can also persist that rejected change. Use the existing provider-patch commit pattern, or restore the previous field on an unpublished failure while preserving the new value for ConfigWritePublishedError.

Resolve the provider again after reading the body.

If another management request replaces or removes config.providers[name] while readManagementJsonBody awaits, this route retains the old provider object. Line 345 then changes that object, while persistConfig(config) saves the current provider map. The route can report success without storing the template. Check ownership and obtain the provider after the await, immediately before the synchronous mutation and save.

A provider that sets no alias still answers to its registry alias (agy for
google-antigravity); a template name equal to it is now skipped as
reserved, as the approved design requires for any provider alias. Also
moves the template write check above the ingress doc comment it was
inserted under.

Maintainer judgment (final head 55e3b76266)

  • Value: a provider can opt in to generated per-model aliases ([Feature]: opt-in per-provider alias template for newly discovered models #7705), as approved: per-provider aliasTemplate with {providerAlias} and {modelBasename}, derived at resolution time, Manual > Builtin > Template, symmetric collision skips.
  • Review history: the security review surfaced two real defects, both fixed with tests that failed first. A provider named __proto__ wrote onto Object.prototype through the alias, model-aliases, default-aliases and new alias-template routes; all four now require an own provider key. A template could be stored unvalidated through the provider-wide save or ocx config set; live writes now apply the template grammar. The final review then asked that registry provider aliases (agy) be reserved too, which is done. A fresh final review and a fresh security review passed on b82caf63c7, and a fresh delta review passed on cea34ddff8. This head only merges dev (feat(dashboard): remember devices behind an operator-named reverse proxy #8518 landed); both config checks stay wired in diagnostics.ts, and a fresh review of that merge passed on this exact head.
  • Existing users: nothing changes without a template. The __proto__ fix only turns a 200 into a 404 for names that were never providers. A hand-edited invalid template is dropped at load with a warning, leaving the rest of the config intact.
  • Cross-provider names: two providers' templates that produce the same name leave the bare name ambiguous (the router's existing refusal) and keep both provider-qualified names; a test pins this.
  • Windows: no platform code.
  • CI: gates, all five test shards and ci passed on this head.
  • NOT RUN: full bun run test; a live discovered roster.
