Summary

  • Add native Google Vertex AI (googleMode: "vertex") live model discovery via GET /v1beta1/publishers/google/models?pageSize=300 (the server-enforced ceiling of ModelGardenService.ListPublisherModels) in src/providers/google-vertex-model-discovery.ts, supporting both Vertex API keys (x-goog-api-key) and GCP ADC (Authorization: Bearer + x-goog-user-project) while respecting paused key pools, forward auth, and gcp-sa: service-account markers.
  • Wire Vertex discovery request/auth resolution and publisherModels extraction into src/codex/catalog/gather-capture.ts, src/codex/catalog/provider-models.ts, and src/server/management/provider-routes.ts (without modifying src/oauth/), stripping the publishers/google/models/ prefix, filtering out non-chat SKUs (embeddings, TTS, transcription, Live API, Imagen), and degrading cleanly when passive synchronous gathers have no API key.
  • Add gemini-4-carbon metadata and capability declarations (1,048,576 context window, 65,536 max output tokens, ["text", "image"] input modalities, ["low", "medium", "high"] reasoning efforts) in scripts/model-metadata.source.json, src/generated/model-metadata.ts, and src/providers/registry/entries-core.ts, backfill destination modelReasoningEfforts for custom/reconfigured rows in src/providers/routed-config.ts, and extend Vertex tool-result image nesting to gemini-4-carbon in src/adapters/google.ts.

Verification

  • ./node_modules/.bin/bun run typecheck — passed (0 type errors across 2,430 files).
  • ./node_modules/.bin/bun run structure:check — passed (structure/ SSOT checks passed).
  • ./node_modules/.bin/bun run privacy:scan — passed (Privacy scan passed).
  • ./node_modules/.bin/bun run skill:surface:check — passed (All 9 generated management surface files are current).
  • ./node_modules/.bin/bun test tests/adapters/google/ tests/providers/provider-model-discovery-contract.test.ts tests/providers/provider-registry-parity.test.ts tests/codex-integration/model-metadata-sync.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/structure-ssot.test.ts tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts — passed (1,245 tests passed across 49 files, 0 failures).
  • Full-suite local exception: ran the complete tests/adapters/google/ domain suite plus provider discovery, registry parity, model-metadata sync, file-size ratchet, structure SSOT, core-lab boundary, and test-layout suites locally instead of the full 15k+ suite; remaining cross-domain shards are left to CI.
  • Verified live end-to-end against Google Vertex AI (GET /v1beta1/publishers/google/models?pageSize=300 HTTP 200, /v1/models publishing google/gemini-4-carbon, and POST /v1/responses HTTP 200).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Gemini 4 Carbon to the Google model catalog, with support for text and image input, a large context window, and configurable reasoning.
    • Added Google Vertex AI model discovery, including Gemini model capabilities and reasoning options.
  • Improvements
    • Vertex model discovery now recognizes a broader range of Google model listings and uses Vertex-specific authentication and request handling.
    • Vertex tool responses now retain images for Gemini 4 Carbon as well as Gemini 4 Argon.

…ni-4-carbon

- Add `src/providers/google-vertex-model-discovery.ts` to discover live Vertex AI generative models via `GET /v1beta1/publishers/google/models?pageSize=300` (the maximum page size accepted by `ModelGardenService.ListPublisherModels`), supporting both Vertex API keys (`x-goog-api-key`) and GCP ADC (`Authorization: Bearer` + `x-goog-user-project`) while respecting paused API-key pools and `gcp-sa:` markers.
- Wire Vertex discovery auth and native `publisherModels` extraction into `src/oauth/index.ts`, `src/codex/catalog/provider-models.ts`, and `src/server/management/provider-routes.ts`, degrading cleanly without unauthenticated probes when synchronous credentials are unavailable.
- Register `gemini-4-carbon` capabilities (1,048,576 context window, 65,536 max output tokens, `["text", "image"]` input modalities, `["low", "medium", "high"]` reasoning efforts) across `scripts/model-metadata.source.json`, `src/generated/model-metadata.ts`, and `src/providers/registry/entries-core.ts`, fill destination `modelReasoningEfforts` in `src/providers/routed-config.ts`, and enable Vertex tool-result image nesting for `gemini-4-carbon` alongside `gemini-4-argon` in `src/adapters/google.ts`.
- Add unit coverage in `tests/adapters/google/vertex-catalog.test.ts` and update `tests/adapters/google/google-models-listing.test.ts`.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Gemini 4 Carbon to Google model metadata and extends Vertex model discovery to use publisher-model requests, Vertex credential resolution, and native Google model extraction. Catalog capture and provider connectivity flows use the Vertex-specific discovery path.

Changes: Google Vertex model catalog

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gemini 4 Carbon metadata
scripts/model-metadata.source.json, src/providers/registry/entries-core.ts, src/providers/routed-config.ts, src/adapters/google.ts
The Google catalogs add Gemini 4 Carbon context, modality, and reasoning metadata. Routed configuration fills missing reasoning-effort values from the destination. Vertex tool-result images are nested for Carbon as well as Argon.
Vertex credentials, requests, and extraction
src/providers/google-vertex-model-discovery.ts
Vertex discovery resolves API-key or ADC credentials, builds publisher-model requests, and extracts eligible Gemini and Gemma models with available metadata.
Catalog and connectivity integration
src/codex/catalog/gather-capture.ts, src/codex/catalog/provider-models.ts, src/server/management/provider-routes.ts
Catalog capture and provider-model flows use Vertex request and token handling. Provider connectivity tests use Vertex-specific requests and native Google extraction, with existing generic fallbacks.
Vertex discovery validation
tests/adapters/google/google-models-listing.test.ts, tests/adapters/google/vertex-catalog.test.ts
Tests assert the publisher-model endpoint and API-key header, returned Gemini metadata, inclusion of Argon, and exclusion of embedding, TTS, Live API, and Imagen models.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 76b52

Vertex model discovery can use a credential the operator did not select, can stall for tens of seconds when ADC is slow, and can list models that cannot run tool workflows or whose effort levels have no effect. It may also omit models beyond the first page. These are bounded to Vertex discovery, but should be fixed before merging.

Explanation

The title names the two primary changes: live Vertex Publisher Models discovery and the new gemini-4-carbon model. The raw summary confirms both appear in the changeset (discovery module, provider routes, catalog wiring, and the gemini-4-carbon registry and adapter entries). The title follows the conventional commit format and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. It omits secondary changes such as routed reasoning-effort backfill and tool-result image nesting, which is acceptable.

- Line 169: Update the Vertex model discovery effort-hint logic around the
gemini-3-pro check so advertised levels come from the same model policy used by
request serialization. Reuse the canonical provider registry and derivation
flow; only advertise low, medium, and high if a verified registry contract
ensures those selections produce corresponding request settings.
- Around line 89-91: Update the token acquisition call using
getVertexAccessTokenWithAuthority to accept and propagate an abort signal
through the token exchange, and ensure catalog and connectivity request
deadlines cover this await. Preserve the management probe’s existing
request-cancellation behavior.
- Line 27: Update VERTEX_NON_CHAT_SKU and the model-discovery filtering so
gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image is excluded from chat models, and classify other
image-generation SKUs by verified function-calling support rather than the
gemini- prefix. Establish and use the available capability information without
weakening existing exclusions.
- Around line 56-60: Update the Vertex discovery credential selection so an
explicitly configured `provider.apiKey` remains authoritative even when
`resolveProviderApiKey` cannot read it; do not fall back to
`GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY` or ambient credentials in that case. Allow ambient
credentials only when no explicit key reference was selected, and add coverage
for an unreadable `keychain:` reference when ambient credentials are present.
- Around line 192-193: Update the Vertex model discovery flow around
extractModelEnvelopeRows to inspect and consume nextPageToken, fetching
subsequent ListPublisherModels pages within bounded total row, byte, and request
budgets. If pagination cannot be completed within those limits, report the
listing as incomplete rather than publishing or caching its partial rows as
authoritative.

Exclude image-generation models that cannot run an agent tool loop.

If Vertex lists gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image, this regex admits it as a chat model. The Google adapter then sends a client's function declarations to a model whose Vertex model card says function calling is unsupported. An agent that selects the published row cannot complete its tool workflow. Exclude this SKU, and classify other image-generation SKUs by their actual tool capability rather than by the gemini- prefix. (docs.cloud.google.com)

Fail closed when an explicit Vertex key reference cannot be read.

If provider.apiKey is an unreadable keychain: reference, resolveProviderApiKey returns undefined. Line 60 then selects GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY, or resolveVertexDiscoveryToken proceeds to host ADC when that environment key is absent. Discovery can publish a different account's model roster under this provider. Inference rejects the unresolved explicit reference instead. Preserve that boundary: allow ambient credentials only when no explicit key reference was selected, and add coverage for an unreadable reference with ambient credentials present. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines, “Authentication, OAuth, token, credential, management API, and CORS changes are security-boundary changes.” <coding_guidelines> As per path instructions, “Watch for credential handling: tokens and OAuth material must never be logged or serialized into responses.” This finding concerns credential selection, not logging. <path_instructions>

Bound ADC resolution to the discovery request's time budget.

If Google's token endpoint stalls, this call can wait through three 15-second token-exchange attempts before discovery falls back. The catalog and connectivity callers create their eight-second timeout only after this await. Accept an abort signal here and pass the caller's deadline through getVertexAccessTokenWithAuthority; preserve request cancellation for the management probe. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Make advertised Vertex effort levels agree with request serialization.

If discovery lists gemini-3-pro, this helper publishes low, medium, and high. The Vertex registry has no modelReasoningEfforts entry for that default model. On a standard configuration, configuredReasoningEfforts therefore supplies no ladder and the Google adapter does not write thinkingConfig; selecting a published effort changes no wire setting. Derive discovery effort hints from the same model policy used by the adapter, or add a verified registry contract before advertising these levels. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Consume nextPageToken before treating the Vertex roster as complete.

If the first ListPublisherModels response contains nextPageToken, this extractor returns only publisherModels from that page. The catalog then caches those rows as authoritative, so usable Gemini or Gemma models on later pages disappear from discovery. The API explicitly defines nextPageToken for subsequent requests. Fetch further pages with a bounded total row, byte, and request budget, or report an incomplete listing instead of publishing it as complete. (docs.cloud.google.com)
