OpenCode 1.x catalog models with no advertised variants showed an invented Reasoning menu and could persist a medium selection that OpenCode rejects. Use only advertised variants for catalog descriptors, and omit a persisted variant at dispatch only when the current catalog confirms it is unsupported.

The same normalization now covers ordinary chat prompts, native commands, and text generation (titles, commit/PR content, branch names, and review guides). Supported variants remain intact. Unknown models and unavailable or timed-out inventories retain explicit selections; requests without a variant avoid the catalog lookup. Agent options remain available. Successful support results are reused per session and model for the adapter session, retaining only variant names; failed lookups retry. External server catalog changes become visible after the adapter session reopens. Text generation remains uncached.

Maintainer takeover of #19000, originally by @AbdulSCSkeu. Preserved the contributor commits and merged main. Reduced 16 added cases to 10 focused regressions, including the previously missing text-generation boundary. Fixes #15649.

Verification: 102/102 focused tests passed across status, adapter, and text generation (previously 99 passed with the new text-generation regression failing). Package typecheck, formatting, and scoped lint pass, with the existing unused layer warning. The real SDK HTTP fixture proof verifies unsupported variants are omitted and supported variants retained; the unsupported case failed before the fix. Round 1 found costly per-turn full-catalog reads; round 2 found expiry still repeated that cost and a steering/Stop race during initial admission. Session-lifetime reuse and serialized admissions address both; the third full-diff Opus/Sol round found no blocking code findings.

The real OpenCode 1.18.18 cache proof made one catalog request across two resolutions (2,693 ms then 1 ms), with no inference. The lookup now allows ten seconds for cold starts; failed lookups stay uncached. Steering waits for initial admission before replacing its cancellation controller.

The shared server paths cover web, mobile, desktop, and local/remote clients. OpenCode 2 behavior and fallback custom-model descriptors are unchanged. macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Electron desktop were not exercised during this headless Linux takeover. The Browser panel cannot start because this host lacks Chromium system libraries, so current-head picker screenshots and browser interaction remain unverified. No paid inference was sent.

The contributor's earlier screenshots illustrate the original picker defect; they were not recaptured for this head:

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Catalog models without advertised variants no longer receive the previously synthesized Reasoning menu and medium default, which is a user-visible product-default change. The PR also adds catalog lookups/caching and prompt-admission behavior across OpenCode request paths, so the resulting runtime impact should receive human review.

📝 Walkthrough

OpenCode capability descriptors now omit variant options when a model advertises none. Prompt and text-generation paths check selected variants against provider catalog data, using a session-scoped cache for prompt submission.

Changes: OpenCode variant selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build variant options packages/provider-opencode/src/server/status.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/status.test.ts	The capability builder uses only advertised variants. Tests cover absent and empty variant lists and verify the default build agent selection.
Resolve variants for prompt submission packages/provider-opencode/src/server/OpenCodeRuntime.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/adapter.test.ts	The resolver checks selected variants against provider catalog data. Successful results are cached for 60 seconds; failed or data-less lookups preserve the requested variant. Prompt and command tests cover catalog outcomes, retries, cache expiry, and unset variants.
Resolve variants for text generation packages/provider-opencode/src/server/textGeneration.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/textGeneration.test.ts	Text generation uses the shared resolver before session.prompt. A test verifies that the selected agent is forwarded and the stale variant is omitted.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 60049

Selected variants are now validated against the OpenCode catalog, and unsupported ones are omitted. The only remaining concern is extra latency and I/O for text-generation requests such as titles and commit messages, because their catalog lookups are not cached. This is mergeable, and the caching can be added as a follow-up.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 60049

The change adds a time-limited compatibility check before existing requests are sent. Inspected paths preserve connection and permission settings, and no new security issue was demonstrated. Complete shutdown behavior remains unconfirmed.

No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is reasoning-option handling on existing prompt, native-command, and text-generation requests. Catalog lookup uses each path's existing configured client. Current adapter ownership keeps cached decisions within one open session rather than sharing them across configured connections; the cache type itself does not encode that ownership.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — Catalog validation is a compatibility decision, not an authorization gate: unavailable inventory preserves the previously forwarded selection. The inspected change does not let a selected variant replace the destination, credentials, model identity, or tool-permission rules.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Turn interruption aborts the admission controller. Catalog lookup and subsequent prompt or command requests combine that controller's signal with SDK cancellation, and admission completion has a cleanup handler. This establishes per-turn cancellation wiring, but the inspected evidence does not establish complete ordering between session disposal and every in-flight admission.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #15649 requires no synthetic Reasoning selector and no unsupported variant for catalog models with no advertised variants. openCodeCapabilitiesForModel creates the variant descriptor only when advertised variants exist. resolveOpenCodeVariant removes a persisted variant only after a successful catalog response confirms that the selected model does not advertise it. Failed, timed-out, unknown, and unavailable catalogs preserve the selection. The adapter applies this result to prompt and command dispatch, and text generation uses the same resolver. Focused tests cover empty, unsupported, supported, unknown, failed, and unset variants, including text generation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to issue #15649. The session/model cache limits repeated catalog lookups, preserves safe fallback behavior, and retains only variant names. Adapter, status, and text-generation tests verify the required behavior. Agent descriptors and OpenCode 2 behavior remain unchanged. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

@juliusmarminge You want me to do that second P2 or is there anything else you require?

[siure]

I’m also affected with opencode/mimo-v2.6-flash-free. This prevents me from using the model in T3 Code and the PR seems to solve the problem.

[juliusmarminge]

Taking over this one. I'll resolve conflicts with current main, trim the tests, and cover stale reasoning selections at both chat and text-generation dispatch before pushing to this branch.

packages/provider-opencode/src/server/textGeneration.ts: 1

208-212: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cache the catalog lookup for text generation.

runAgainstServer calls resolveOpenCodeVariant with no cache argument. As a result, every text-generation request that has a variant selected makes a full provider.list request before session.prompt. These requests include thread titles, commit messages, PR content, branch names, and review guides. The resolver's own comment states that provider.list "can return several megabytes". The lookup also adds up to 4 seconds of latency when the server responds slowly.

The adapter path already uses a session-scoped OpenCodeVariantCache. Create one OpenCodeVariantCache in the makeOpenCodeTextGeneration closure and pass it to the resolver. The model catalog can differ between servers and project directories. For that reason, include the server URL and input.cwd in the cache key. One option is a Map keyed by ${server.url}|${input.cwd}, with one OpenCodeVariantCache per key.

♻️ Sketch

         const selectedVariant = yield* OpenCodeRuntime.resolveOpenCodeVariant(
           client,
           parsedModel,
           getModelSelectionStringOptionValue(input.modelSelection, "variant"),
+          undefined,
+          variantCacheFor(server.url, input.cwd),
         );

// inside makeOpenCodeTextGeneration, before runOpenCodeJson
const variantCaches = new Map<string, OpenCodeRuntime.OpenCodeVariantCache>();
const variantCacheFor = (url: string, cwd: string) => {
  const key = `${url}|${cwd}`;
  let cache = variantCaches.get(key);
  if (cache === undefined) {
    cache = new Map();
    variantCaches.set(key, cache);
  }
  return cache;
};

Note

Claude Code (Claude Sonnet 5.5) acting on behalf of Bryan

I can reproduce #15649 and this PR looks like the right fix for it.

Repro on T3 Code 0.1.6 (Linux AppImage), OpenCode CLI 2.1.3: opencode/big-pickle has reasoning: true and reasoning_options: [] in the OpenCode catalog, yet the picker shows Reasoning Low/Medium/High/Xhigh with Medium as "Default" next to the Build/Plan agent selector. Sending a message in the same thread with each of the four levels failed with Variant unavailable for opencode/big-pickle: <level>, so picking another level does not help.

Bryan is happy to test this pre-merge on a Linux desktop build, which the PR description lists as not exercised. big-pickle is a free model, so no paid inference is involved. The check would be: Big Pickle shows no Reasoning menu, the Agent selector is still there, a message goes through, and a thread that already has a saved medium or other variant recovers. Right now the branch shows merge conflicts with main, so a rebase would be needed first. If you push one or tell us which commit to build, we will report back here.
