Problem

Custom Claude models can declare Context Window and Thinking options, but the context choice has no runtime mapping and Thinking is omitted from query settings. Selecting 1M leaves the request model unchanged.

Change

Map a custom model's declared contextWindow: 1m choice to Claude Code's [1m] suffix and 1,000,000-token capacity. Preserve explicitly tagged routes and keep the provider's default capacity unknown. Compile model options against the instance's configured catalog so context and Thinking work independently.

Preserve context and supported reasoning options in native subagent selections, including inherited options and configured child-model overrides. Resolve child-model defaults with the existing settings-env precedence rules for both native launch paths. The composer summary shows the selected reasoning level while Thinking is on, Thinking when there is no reasoning selector, and Off when disabled, with the context choice alongside it.

Scope

Bare custom-model defaults stay unchanged, and built-in catalog profiles remain authoritative. This uses Claude Code's existing custom-model 1M support and the existing option editor. Arbitrary numeric context windows and new editor controls are outside this change. It replaces the configuration approach in closed #22318.

The instance-scoped Thinking compilation overlaps #22792 because the same compilation path needs the context mapping. This does not replace the wider live-catalog proposal in #16583.

Verification

  • 351 focused tests passed across the Claude catalog, compiler, adapter, text generation, shared composer traits, effort glyph, and composer provider state. SDK-frame regressions cover explicit and inherited model choices, nested effort overrides, tagged and unknown routes, settings-file child-model defaults and precedence, both launch paths, and capacity accounting.
  • check:changed --concurrency 1 passed formatting, lint, both knip scans, GraphQL validation, nine affected typechecks, 310 adjacent tests, and the changed component's React Compiler check.
  • After merging upstream 7f443ab635 in f95a0d73b3, the upstream composer browser component test passed in Chromium. It verifies custom reasoning IDs, effort bars, option menus, and keyboard navigation. The merged build retains the compact Thinking labels, with shared cases covering custom reasoning IDs.
  • The web production build passed. Its entry assets exist, and the emitted JavaScript and source map contain the updated thinking-summary implementation.
  • Live Linux tests used the source server, real Claude Code 2.1.316, isolated T3 and Claude state, the existing ds-flash gateway route, and foreground native Agent calls. A transparent forwarding proxy recorded only sanitized model/protocol metadata. Child response IDs were matched to real child transcripts. Parent and child replies completed successfully.
Source and child selection Child 1M flag Stored child context Stored effort Result
3a19fd, inherited Yes Missing Low Completed
a1fd17a497, inherited Yes 1m Low Completed
a1fd17a497, configured ds-flash override No Provider default Low Completed

The inherited child also retained the explicit Thinking selection. Its real request used adaptive thinking and low effort. Those inheritance runs match the adapter source in a1fd17a497.

A further real native-child run verified settings-file precedence against the final adapter source in 284dd5e65e. The process requested ds-flash[1m], while the isolated user settings file requested ds-flash. The correlated child request had no 1M flag, used adaptive thinking and low effort, returned HTTP 200, and completed both parent/child replies. Its stored selection retained low effort without forcing 1M.

At f0a124db79, verified the rebuilt web client with isolated state. Before the Thinking-only fix, its composer and accessible label showed only 1M. Afterward they showed Thinking · 1M, switching to Off · 1M when disabled. A model with reasoning choices showed Extra High · 1M while enabled and Off · 1M when disabled. The menu retained its explicit Thinking and reasoning controls. Captured the actual client states without sending a paid agent turn for the UI check.

Small requests verify protocol opt-in and metadata, not the gateway's maximum with a full million-token prompt. Real nested children, other gateway models, native desktop/mobile, other operating systems, and remote relay/tunnel clients were not exercised in these follow-up runs. Direct messages to provider-owned children are rejected by the existing guard. Browser captures are retained locally and have not been uploaded to GitHub.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 43c1c27

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Custom Claude routes can explicitly opt into 1M context, with matching request IDs, capacity accounting and independently applied Thinking settings. Built-in models and product defaults remain unchanged, keeping exposure limited to configured custom routes.

Walkthrough

Custom Claude model options now resolve through the instance’s model catalog. The adapter uses that catalog for query settings, subagent selection, and context and usage reporting. Composer traits now show disabled thinking and suppress reasoning labels when thinking is off.

Changes: Custom Claude options

Layer / File(s) Summary
Custom context-window resolution
apps/server/src/provider/ClaudeModelCatalog.ts, apps/server/src/provider/ClaudeModelCatalog.test.ts, docs/user/composer.md
Custom Claude routes with a declared 1m choice map to the [1m] suffix and a 1,000,000-token context limit. Already-tagged routes retain their suffix. Tests cover unmapped and missing choices. Documentation describes the contextWindow and separate thinking options.
Adapter catalog and subagent selection
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts
The adapter uses its custom-model-scoped catalog for model compilation, query settings, subagent model and effort resolution, prompt-effort prefixes, context-window lookup, and token-usage reporting. Subagent launches use configured defaults when no model is specified and preserve inherited options. Tests cover environment and settings resolution, context accounting, selection changes, and nested inheritance.
Composer thinking display
packages/client-runtime/src/modelTraits.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/modelTraits.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerModelEffort.tsx
The composer displays Off when thinking is disabled and omits reasoning-select labels and the effort glyph in that state. Tests cover descriptor ordering and displayed labels.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at 924fde8cb392fb1840d439d870f825e693b11dde. no source changes or pushes.

reproduced first on github/main (54c5f25249) in a separate worktree after vp i, then stopped that server before starting the exact contributor head after its own vp i. both used isolated app state. playwright from the repo drove /usr/bin/google-chrome against the real dev web client.

through the app, added a project pointing to the real git checkout, created threads, configured the claude gateway and custom model claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929, and added contextWindow choices plus a separate thinking toggle. real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns completed on both revisions. real claude turns completed through the client, server, adapter, claude code 2.1.316, and the local provider proxy. no mocks, replay provider, or fixtures.

observed forwarded provider requests with a transparent local forwarding proxy, and read persisted turn usage read-only. claude code translates [1m] into the context-1m-2025-08-07 protocol flag before sending the request:

revision  composer context  thinking  sent thinking  sent 1m flag  persisted maxTokens  result
main      1m                on        enabled        no            null                 completed
main      1m                off       enabled        no            null                 completed
pr        1m                on        enabled        yes           1000000              completed
pr        1m                off       disabled       yes           1000000              completed
pr        default           off       disabled       no            null                 completed
pr        1m                off       disabled       yes           1000000              completed
pr        1m, unchanged     off       disabled       yes           1000000              completed

reset and restoration changed context independently of thinking in the same thread. the unchanged-options continuation correctly recalled its preceding reply. a built-in claude haiku 5.5 turn also completed with its adaptive thinking behavior. codex replies remained successful.

305 existing tests passed through blacksmith-check: ClaudeModelCatalog, claudeModelOptions, the full ClaudeAdapterV2 suite, and textGeneration/ClaudeTextGeneration. hosted checks report 28/28 successful on this head. inspected the captures and verified uploaded video playback through completion and seeking.

before on main, with matching prompt, response, custom model and options:

main: custom claude 1m and thinking on

after on the pr, with the same scenario:

pr: custom claude 1m and thinking on

switching thinking off while retaining 1m, then completing a real provider turn:

pr: thinking off with 1m and a successful real claude reply

Not verified

  • native desktop, ios/android, macos/windows, remote relay and tunnel clients were not exercised on this linux vm.
  • full million-token prompts and upstream maximum capacity were not tested. the successful small requests prove protocol opt-in and app accounting.
  • native claude child-agent selection metadata, other gateway models, and all upstream thinking implementations were not exercised.
  • the built-in haiku 4.5 check was blocked by this proxy returning 400 unknown provider for model claude-haiku-4-5. the supported built-in haiku 5.5 route succeeded instead.

Verified with a real native child

Your report verifies the parent requests and UI at 924fde8. This follow-up exercises the native-child metadata path you listed as unverified.

Reproduced at 3a19fd with the source server, isolated T3 and Claude state, Claude Code 2.1.316, and the existing ds-flash gateway. The parent launched a foreground native Agent. Both replies completed, and the actual child request carried the 1M protocol flag, but its stored model selection lost context and Thinking. Claude reports that child as bare ds-flash, so suffix normalization alone could not retain those choices.

Fixed in a1fd17a497, then repeated the real run against the final adapter source. A transparent forwarding proxy recorded only sanitized protocol metadata. Child response IDs matched actual child transcripts. These live runs used no mocked provider or replay.

Child selection Sent 1M flag Stored context Stored Thinking Effort Result
3a19fd, inherited Yes Missing Missing Low Completed
a1fd17a497, inherited Yes 1m true Low Completed
a1fd17a497, configured ds-flash override No Provider default No explicit choice Low Completed

Both fixed runs returned HTTP 200 for the correlated child requests and completed the expected parent/child replies. The override control verifies that an explicitly configured child model does not silently inherit the parent's 1M choice.

Also compacted the composer summary in 42eec11a2e. Thinking on shows the selected reasoning level, such as Extra High, without Thinking On. Thinking off shows Off instead of the reasoning level. The context choice stays visible. Web and mobile use the shared display helper.

340 focused tests passed. check:changed --concurrency 1 passed formatting, lint, both knip scans, GraphQL validation, nine package typechecks, 298 adjacent tests, and the changed React Compiler case. The production web build passed, and its entry assets and emitted summary implementation were inspected.

Not verified

  • No new browser visual capture for the compact summary on this host. Its verification is shared display tests, typechecks, the compiler check, and the web build. Your UI captures remain scoped to 924fde8.
  • Full million-token prompts, real nested children, other gateway models, other operating systems, desktop/mobile, and relay/tunnel clients were not exercised in these follow-up runs.

Minor · Invalidate sessions when replacing a provider instance. · ClaudeAdapterV2.ts:10136-10139

apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts:10136-10139
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Invalidate sessions when replacing a provider instance.

A settings update can replace the Claude adapter while an existing provider session remains open. ProviderSessionManager.open returns that session before it looks up the replacement adapter, so the next turn can still call the old adapter.

That adapter captured the previous custom-model catalog. When the user adds contextWindow: "1m" and selects it, openQuery compiles the selection with the old catalog. The old catalog has no 1m suffix, so the compiled model ID remains the unsuffixed custom model ID. The existing query identity can also remain unchanged, so the query is reused without applying the 1M selection.

The request therefore does not opt into the 1M context window, and the session continues with the old or unknown capacity. Closing and reopening the provider session recovers the behavior because the next session resolves the replacement adapter. Close or invalidate sessions for every replaced provider instance as part of the settings reconciliation.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Preserve thinking for explicit child models.

Claude Code inherits the parent’s thinking setting even when the child selects another model. Here, explicit child models receive no inherited selection, so a parent’s thinking: false is omitted from the child metadata. Preserve thinking separately from model-specific context options.
