User decision, 11 Oct 2026: Codex's own (subscription) models are one side,
the models we add are the other. A request for one of Codex's own models now
goes to chatgpt.com as it is: no model command, lone-dot answer, info note,
work-line instruction, half-answer note or compaction handling. Codex compacts
those chats itself; the bridge making the summary on gpt-6-astra failed four
times this morning and left Codex with 'Error running remote compact task'.
Only the bridge's own traces are still cleaned (foreign ids and bridge-made
summaries left by an added model earlier in the same chat); without any, the
body is byte-identical.
Voice switching stays among the added models. Asking for one of Codex's own
models by voice is answered with how to do it: pick it in the model picker and
send a lone dot.

Since bridge 7 external models get Codex's classic tools. One desktop tool has a top-level union schema,
which Claude rejects ("input_schema does not support oneOf, allOf, or anyOf at the top level"), so every
Opus request from the desktop app failed with a bare "upstream 400". The earlier context-size diagnosis
was wrong: the request still failed after compaction (239 KB).

User decision: the "larger work goes to AITURK" instruction lives only in what Codex IDE sees; the CLI must
not know it exists. The bridge adds it in flight by the originator header (measured: Codex Desktop, codex-tui,
codex_exec) and only when a send command is configured.

Measured with the unmodified Codex binary on 10 Oct 2026:
- real context windows per model (NanoGPT list, local table, combo = its
smallest member, capped at the summarizer's window) so Codex compacts by
itself when switching to a smaller model; an overflow guard trims
oversized old parts and reports what still does not fit
- classic tools instead of code mode for external models: GLM 0/3 -> 3/3,
Qwen 0/3 -> 2/3 on simple tool tasks, Claude/cx/Gemini unchanged
- phase (commentary / final_answer) on external assistant messages
- an answer cut by the client is carried to the next turn once
- images stay for vision-capable targets
- summary brake stops tight loops, not frequent compaction
- permanent gateway errors and tool-less targets fail at once with a
readable message instead of five reconnects
- a lone "." (used to apply a model change in voice) is answered locally
- the bridge listens within seconds; the IDE waits 45 s for it
Release: AITURK IDE 1.0.0-beta.26.

Adds the IDE's models and combos to Codex's model list and keeps conversation
summaries readable across providers, so switching models in Codex no longer
drops the conversation. Standard-library Python, run on the agent venv.
