Will Pfleger 4d47f48143 feat(agent): Phase 1 — model-capability manifest, generator, and test oracle (#3821)
## What this does

Introduces the model-capability manifest infrastructure (Phase 1 of the
Model-Capability Manifest plan v4, Thufir-approved 9/9/9). No consumer
cutover — `config.rs`, `llm.rs`, `catalog.rs`, and `buzzAgentConfig.ts`
are unchanged. Phase 2 wires them.

**Single source of truth** replaces hand-mirrored metadata across four
files:

```
scripts/model-capabilities.json         → hand-curated manifest
scripts/generate-model-capabilities.mjs → emits Rust + TS artifacts
crates/buzz-agent/src/generated_model_capabilities.rs
desktop/src/features/agents/ui/modelCapabilities.ts
```

## Resolver contract (plan v4 §Resolver contract)

Total function `resolve(provider, raw_model_id) → CapabilityResult`.
Three ordered steps:

1. Provider-qualified raw exact lookup — key is `(provider,
raw_model_id)`, matched before any prefix stripping. A prefixed alias
never inherits an exact record.
2. Provider-scoped ordered family rules — on normalized
(prefix-stripped) alias, by `match_priority` desc.
3. Per-axis provider fallback — `blank` vs `concrete_unknown`, per
provider.

Result is complete — every axis populated, runtime consumers never
compose fields.

## Boundaries the manifest does NOT own

- Transport for pure OpenAI, legacy Databricks, OpenRouter:
`OpenAiApi`/`openai_request()` remain authoritative.
`databricks_v2_wire_route` is DBv2-only (all other providers emit
`not-applicable`).
- Final display labels: `resolveModelLabel()` three-tier precedence
unchanged. `registry_label` feeds only the static registry tier.
- `llm.rs` scope: only `databricks_v2_route_for_model` (Phase 2).

## Test oracle (three independent layers)

1. Generated full-table coverage —
`scripts/generated-model-capabilities-coverage.json`: every manifest
entry + provider fallbacks.
2. Hand-authored normative corpus — `scripts/normative-corpus.json` (44
vectors): Anthropic manual-budget/adaptive families, OpenAI gpt-5
adversarial boundary cases, DBv2 segment-routing collision tests, P2-A
resolver-contract vectors, P2-B blank/concrete-unknown per provider.
Runs against JS resolver (`run-corpus.mjs`) and mirrored in Rust
(`generated_model_capabilities_tests.rs`).
3. Schema-negative tests — `scripts/test-manifest-validator.mjs` (17
tests): every validator rule has a failing-input test.

## Reconciliation table

`scripts/MODELS_DEV_RECONCILIATION.md` — all models.dev divergences
dispositioned. `databricks-gpt-5-4-mini` and `databricks-gpt-5-4-nano`
adopt models.dev `[low,medium,high]` (family rule adds `none+xhigh` the
endpoint doesn't advertise).

## CI

`.github/workflows/model-capability-regen-diff.yml`: triggers on
manifest/generator/artifact changes; regenerates and fails if stale;
runs JS corpus + schema-negative tests.

## Acceptance criteria (plan v4 Phase 1)

- Byte-clean regen: `node scripts/generate-model-capabilities.mjs
--check` passes
- Rust compiles: `cargo check -p buzz-agent`
- TS typechecks: `pnpm tsc --noEmit --strict`
- 44/44 normative corpus vectors pass (JS interpreter)
- 41/41 Rust corpus tests pass
- 17/17 schema-negative tests pass (every validator rule)
- Reconciliation table complete with doc citations
- No consumer changes (config.rs, llm.rs, catalog.rs, buzzAgentConfig.ts
untouched)

Model Capabilities Manifest — Schema Reference

Source of truth: scripts/model-capabilities.json
Generator: scripts/generate-model-capabilities.mjs
Emitted artifacts:

  • crates/buzz-agent/src/generated_model_capabilities.rs
  • desktop/src/features/agents/ui/modelCapabilities.ts
  • scripts/generated-model-capabilities-coverage.json (test fixture)

Resolver contract (plan v4)

Resolution is a total function resolve(provider, raw_model_id) → CapabilityResult. Three ordered steps:

  1. Provider-qualified raw exact lookup — key is (provider, raw_model_id), matched on the RAW ID before any prefix stripping. A prefixed alias never inherits an exact record.
  2. Provider-scoped ordered family rules — on the normalized (prefix-stripped) alias. Rules ordered by match_priority descending (higher wins). Each rule is tagged with the providers it applies to.
  3. Per-axis provider fallback — blank (empty model string) vs concrete_unknown (nonblank but unmatched), per provider.

CapabilityResult is complete — every axis is populated. Runtime consumers never compose fields from multiple tiers.

Axes (schema fields)

Axis Type Notes
registry_label string | null Optional static display label. Feeds resolveModelLabel() registry tier only.
thinking_mode enum manual-budget | adaptive | omit-fields | none | not-applicable
supported_efforts ThinkingEffort[] Non-empty. UI effort dropdown options.
default_effort ThinkingEffort | null null = "Inherit" (Anthropic manual-budget models).
databricks_v2_wire_route enum openai-responses | anthropic-messages | mlflow-chat | route-unknown | not-applicable
normalization_policy enum none | openai-standard | openai-clamp-max-to-xhigh

thinking_mode values

Value Meaning
manual-budget thinking:{type:"enabled", budget_tokens} — claude-3*, claude-opus-4-5
adaptive thinking:{type:"adaptive"} + output_config:{effort} — opus-4-6+, sonnet-4-6+, etc.
omit-fields Unknown Anthropic model — omit thinking fields rather than guess request shape
none Non-Anthropic-routed model — thinking fields not applicable
not-applicable Provider does not use Anthropic thinking API

databricks_v2_wire_route values

Scoped to DBv2 only. All non-DBv2 providers emit not-applicable. Transport for pure OpenAI, legacy Databricks, and OpenRouter is selected by OpenAiApi / openai_request() at runtime.

Value Meaning
openai-responses /ai-gateway/openai/v1/responses
anthropic-messages /ai-gateway/anthropic/v1/messages
mlflow-chat /ai-gateway/mlflow/v1/chat/completions
route-unknown DBv2 blank model — route not yet determinable
not-applicable Not a DBv2 provider

Family rule match kinds

Kind Semantics
exact Case-insensitive exact string equality on normalized alias
prefix Normalized alias starts with match_value
gpt5-token Boundary-aware token: present at end-of-string or followed by - (not digit/letter)
gpt5-base Like gpt5-token but also rejects -<1-3 digit> suffixes (version-number rejection)
segment Normalized alias contains match_value as a full alphanumeric segment (split on non-alnum)
segment-prefix Any segment of the normalized alias starts with match_value

Boundaries the manifest does NOT own

  • Transport/endpoint selection for pure OpenAI, legacy Databricks, OpenRouter: OpenAiApi and openai_request() remain authoritative. The databricks_v2_wire_route axis is DBv2-only.
  • Final display labels: resolveModelLabel(discovered_name, registry_label, raw_id) three-tier precedence is authoritative. The manifest's registry_label feeds only the static registry tier.
  • llm.rs replacement scope: only databricks_v2_route_for_model. Other dispatch paths remain.

Reconciliation policy (plan v4 §Behavior policy)

Not purely behavior-preserving. models.dev reasoning_options become exact overrides. Each divergence from family rule results is reconciled against provider docs and either:

  • (a) adopted as an intentional correction with its own test + exact record, or
  • (b) rejected with a curation note in the exact record.

See reconciliation table: scripts/MODELS_DEV_RECONCILIATION.md.

Adding a new model family

  1. Add a family_rules entry with a new unique id, appropriate match_kind, providers, match_priority, and all capability axes.
  2. Run node scripts/generate-model-capabilities.mjs to regenerate artifacts.
  3. CI model-capability-regen-diff job verifies byte-clean regeneration.
  4. The normative corpus (scripts/normative-corpus.json) may need new vectors.

Adding an exact model override

  1. Add an exact_records entry with provider + raw_model_id (the full raw ID, no prefix stripping). Include a _reconciliation note and doc citation.
  2. Run node scripts/generate-model-capabilities.mjs — completeness validator will fail if any axis cannot be resolved.
  3. Regenerate and commit.
