Background

resources/models/builtin.toml contains the built-in model catalog used by the Profile/Manifest resolver. It currently includes a small set of Anthropic, Codex/OpenAI OAuth, Ollama, and OpenRouter entries. Some entries may be stale, provider-specific recommendations may have changed, and context-window/effective-window metadata should be checked against current provider documentation before public release.

The goal is to research the current provider-recommended model set for the providers already represented in the catalog and update the built-in catalog accordingly. This should not become a broad provider integration redesign.

Current catalog files:

• resources/models/builtin.toml
• resources/providers/builtin.toml
• resources/profiles/default.lua references codex-oauth/gpt-5.5

Requirements

• Research current provider-recommended model IDs and metadata for providers currently represented in the built-in catalog:
  • Anthropic direct provider;
  • OpenAI/Codex OAuth provider;
  • OpenRouter provider;
  • Ollama local placeholder entries, if applicable.
• Use authoritative provider documentation or model-list endpoints where practical. Record sources in the ticket thread or an artifact.
• Update resources/models/builtin.toml to replace stale models with current recommended models.
• Preserve or intentionally update default profile model choice in resources/profiles/default.lua; if changing it, explain why.
• Verify context window and effective context window metadata, especially for models used by default profiles and compaction heuristics.
• Keep provider definitions in resources/providers/builtin.toml unchanged unless model catalog research proves a provider entry itself is stale or wrong.
• Avoid adding speculative models that are not generally available or not supported by the current provider client implementation.
• Keep local/Ollama entries generic unless a specific local model recommendation is clearly justified.

Non-goals

• Do not add a new provider client implementation.
• Do not redesign provider authentication or model routing.
• Do not add dynamic model discovery at runtime.
• Do not remove user override support for ~/.config/insomnia/models.toml / providers.toml.
• Do not change Profile authoring semantics.

Acceptance criteria

• A short research note is recorded with provider sources and selected model IDs.
• resources/models/builtin.toml is updated to the current recommended set or explicitly confirmed current.
• Default profile model choice is confirmed or updated with rationale.
• Catalog parsing/merge tests pass.
• Validation includes at least cargo test -p provider, cargo test -p manifest model, cargo fmt --check, and ./tickets.sh doctor.
