ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes the defaults and inheritance rules used when creating projects and new threads, and includes a persistent-data migration plus Codex configuration integration. The behavior spans startup, CLI, web creation, storage, and provider model selection, warranting human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |
Problem
T3 Code automatically stored the currently resolved provider model as each project's default. Once project defaults began outranking sticky composer state, that implicit value behaved like a user-authored override. Existing projects could therefore keep reopening on an old model, while Codex reasoning fell back to the catalog default instead of the effective
config.tomlvalue.Fix
nullfor automatic project creation on server startup, the CLI, and the web command palette. Only an explicit project setting remains a project override.model,model_reasoning_effort, andservice_tierthroughconfig/read, with the live model catalog as the fallback.project.meta-updatedevent carrieddefaultModelSelection.Flow

project.createdrecords the initial value but not whether T3's standard creation path or an external client supplied it. The migration therefore treats an exact model-only creation value with no later update as the old implicit seed. An external client that intentionally supplied that same shape at creation will also return to inheritance. Values carrying options and values written by a later metadata event are preserved.Verification

Note
Medium Risk
Migration 044 mutates persisted projections and event payloads with heuristic matching; wrong criteria could clear intentional project defaults, though explicit meta-updates and options are preserved.
Overview
New projects no longer persist an automatic model override. CLI
project add, web Command Palette project creation, and server auto-bootstrap now senddefaultModelSelection: nullonproject.create, while bootstrap still seeds the first thread viagetAutoBootstrapThreadModelSelection()(renamed from the project-level helper).Codex provider snapshots call

defaultModelSelectionon projects and matchingproject.createdpayloads are nulled unless a laterproject.meta-updatedexplicitly set the field (options-bearing defaults are kept).User docs add a Model defaults section describing project override vs sticky last-used vs provider/Codex config precedence.
