What Changed

  • add customModelProfiles to named Claude provider settings so custom models can declare an ordered subset of low, medium, high, xhigh, and max
  • attach settings-owned custom models and capabilities to the current scoped ClaudeModelCatalog, preserving remote-manifest built-ins and alias behavior
  • expose the existing Reasoning control with a synthetic Default choice that inherits Claude Code's configured effort
  • pass selected custom effort through the same query-start --effort path used by built-in Claude models, while Default omits the override
  • keep profile validation scoped to the named Claude provider instance, and remove profiles when their custom model is deleted
  • document the supported settings.json contract

Why

Custom models already work through Claude-compatible gateways, but T3 assigns them empty capabilities. Users can select and run those models without controlling Claude Code effort per thread.

This is the orchestration V2 implementation discussed in #4192 and the Ideas discussion it became. It is configuration-first so a future Settings editor can use the same contract without changing runtime behavior.

UI Changes

A profiled custom model gains the existing Reasoning selector. Without a profile, the composer remains unchanged. Before and after screenshots are attached below.

Verification

  • rebased onto current upstream main after the remote Claude model-manifest migration
  • 230 focused tests across settings contracts, ClaudeModelCatalog, provider snapshots, Claude runtime, text generation, and settings cleanup
  • targeted typechecks passed for @t3tools/contracts, t3, and @t3tools/web
  • targeted lint passed with only existing unrelated repository warnings
  • isolated browser flow verified Default/Low/Medium/High rendering on the rebased implementation
  • independent final review of the current upstream port reported no issues
  • git diff --check passed

Risk and rollback

The setting is optional. Existing providers, unprofiled custom models, remote-manifest models, and built-in Claude behavior keep their current paths. Invalid profiles make only the named Claude provider instance unavailable. Roll back by reverting the eventual merge commit.

Checklist

  • This PR is focused on custom Claude model effort profiles
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for the UI change
  • No animation or timing behavior changed

Review tier: standard.

Implemented with GPT-5.6 Sol in the Claude Code harness.

Note

Add custom model reasoning profiles for Claude with direct effort forwarding

  • Introduces a validated customModelProfiles field in ClaudeSettings where each profile maps a custom model to a non-empty, unique, ordered list of reasoning levels drawn from low, medium, high, xhigh, max; every profile key must match a configured customModels entry. Schema lives in settings.ts.
  • Reworks scopeClaudeModelCatalog to emit a distinct custom catalog row per custom slug with a Reasoning selector built from the profile; built-in slugs still win over same-slug custom profiles and matching aliases are removed from built-in rows.
  • Claude adapter, text-generation, and provider status paths now pass custom profiles into scoping. For profiled custom models, the selected reasoning level is forwarded directly as query/CLI effort and built-in normalization and ultracode handling are skipped; Default omits effort.
  • Fixes mergeProviderModels so a refreshed Claude custom model replaces stale previous capabilities even when the refreshed row has null capabilities; non-Claude retention is unchanged.
  • Settings UI prunes customModelProfiles entries when a Claude custom model is removed, and deletes the map when empty; non-Claude provider profile data is preserved.
  • Risk: mergeProviderModels Claude-specific branch in ProviderRegistry.ts returns the refreshed custom row before the previous-capability retention path — non-Claude providers are unaffected, but any out-of-tree consumer relying on capability retention for Claude custom rows with null capabilities will see the new behavior.

Macroscope summarized c0c01b2.


Note

Medium Risk
Touches Claude session/query effort wiring and provider snapshot merging; behavior is gated on optional settings and built-ins are preserved, but incorrect effort forwarding could affect custom-gateway runs.

Overview
Adds customModelProfiles on named Claude provider config so manually listed custom models can expose a Reasoning selector with Default plus an ordered subset of low / medium / high / xhigh / max. Contracts validate levels and require profile keys to match customModels; invalid profiles fail only that Claude instance.

scopeClaudeModelCatalog now materializes custom slugs with profile-driven capabilities (built-in catalog slugs still win), tracks customEffortProfile, and feeds provider snapshots, the Claude adapter, and text generation. Default omits --effort; other choices pass through without built-in effort remapping or ultracode. Provider registry merge treats refreshed Claude custom model capabilities as authoritative.

Settings UI prunes orphaned profiles when custom models are removed (Claude only). User docs describe the settings.json contract.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Claude custom model profiles now define validated reasoning levels. Provider capabilities, server execution, web model selection, settings cleanup, and documentation support these profiles across the application.

Changes

Claude custom reasoning profiles

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile contracts and option reconciliation
packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts, packages/contracts/src/model.ts, packages/shared/src/model.ts, packages/shared/src/model.test.ts, docs/user/custom-model-reasoning-profiles.md, docs/README.md
Settings validate profile levels and model matches. Shared helpers canonicalize selections and omit the synthetic default. Documentation describes configuration and behavior.
Provider capability resolution
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeProvider.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ProviderRegistry.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ProviderRegistry.test.ts
Claude custom models receive profile-defined effort descriptors. Registry merging removes stale custom models and capabilities.
Server effort execution
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.test.ts, apps/server/src/textGeneration/ClaudeTextGeneration.ts, apps/server/src/textGeneration/ClaudeTextGeneration.test.ts
Custom effort values reach the Claude SDK and CLI. The default selection becomes null, and custom models do not enable built-in ultracode handling.
Web model selection and profile cleanup
apps/web/src/components/chat/TraitsPicker.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ProviderInstanceCard.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ProviderInstanceCard.test.ts, apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.ts, apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.test.ts, apps/web/src/providerModels.ts, apps/web/src/modelSelection.test.ts
The web app preserves exact custom slugs, resolves custom capabilities before aliases, records custom selections, and prunes Claude profiles when models are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a cross-cutting Claude capability that changes provider configuration, model discovery, session effort forwarding, text generation, and settings persistence. An unresolved model-collision/version-gating scenario can hide configured custom models, so the runtime behavior and compatibility handling require human review.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

Additional independent review

Fable 5, Opus 5, and Grok 4.6-build independently reviewed the branch. Their shared blockers were fixed in 1d08ed003:

  • invalid named-instance profiles now stay scoped to that provider instead of invalidating the whole server settings file
  • custom effort uses the same reversible settings.effortLevel channel at session start and mid-session
  • unsupported mid-session max was removed from custom profiles
  • synthetic Default behavior now uses an explicit descriptor marker instead of matching display strings
  • empty profile maps are removed when the final custom model is deleted

All three reviewers re-ran against the fixes and reported no remaining issues. The final focused bundle is 354 passing tests; contracts, shared, server, and web typechecks pass; browser verification covers valid hot reload and provider-scoped invalid-profile handling.

Rebased onto current main and ported the feature to the remote-manifest ClaudeModelCatalog introduced after the original PR. The old four-commit implementation was replaced by one current-architecture commit. Focused tests and typechecks pass, the browser evidence is refreshed, and the latest independent review reported no issues.
