Added models had no web search: Codex's built-in one runs on OpenAI's side and
the bridge drops it from their tool list. Measured in a voice session on
11 Oct 2026: a model looked for a search tool ten times and ended the turn
with no answer. The bridge now tells added models two ready commands (ara.py:
search and read a page, standard library only, no key). Codex's own models
never see the note: their requests do not reach the bridge.
Spoken model names: a half-spoken word matches the start of a name part
("think" -> thinking, "obli" -> obliterated), and when one candidate is the
others minus extra words, the one without the unsaid suffix is picked
("Qwen 3.8 Obliterated" -> not the ":thinking" one).

bridge.py is now a small splitter with no features: a request for one of
Codex's own models goes to chatgpt.com byte for byte, a request for an added
model goes to kopru.py, which runs as its own process. Codex's own models no
longer pass through the feature code at all, and restarting or losing the
bridge process does not touch them.
Measured with real Codex on spare ports: own model answers; forced compaction
on the own model completes (twice) while the bridge process is restarted;
added model answers; no own-model request reaches the bridge process.
