feat(shared,host-service): pinned Claude model ids in the workspace-create picker, and reject an unsupported model - #6920
Merged
Conversation
…l the agent can't take The workspace-create model picker only offered Claude's family aliases (fable/opus/sonnet/haiku) plus claude-opus-5, so every alias resolved to whatever the CLI considers newest. A team standardising on an older release had no id to pick. Add the pinned releases alongside the aliases, and label the aliases "(latest)" so the two kinds are distinguishable in the dropdown. Launch-time model selection also degraded silently: buildAgentModelArgs drops any id outside the curated list, so a stale or mistyped model launched the agent on its own default with no flag and no error — while effort and mode have validated with an actionable message since they shipped. Add validateAgentModelSelection to match, wired into both the launch builder and the workspace-create preflight so a bad model fails before the worktree exists. Reported by @iamwix: "When I go to start a new workspace I can't choose a legacy model from the dropdown."

…very label Aliases and pinned releases were telling them apart with a "(latest)" suffix on every alias, which pays for the distinction once per row. A section header says it once: "Latest" over the four family aliases, "Pinned releases" over the versioned ids, so the labels go back to bare names. Options carry an optional `group`; a catalog that sets none renders exactly as before, so the effort and mode pickers are untouched. Grouping reuses the SelectGroup/SelectLabel/SelectSeparator pattern the theme picker already uses. Codex gets the same treatment, which moves its retirement date out of a source comment only we read and into the picker the person is looking at when they choose gpt-5.4.

"Default model" is the escape hatch that omits the flag, not a member of "Latest" — it was the only kind-change in the list without a rule under it. Flat catalogs (effort, mode) have no headers and so still render as one uninterrupted list.
groupModelOptions deliberately keeps a repeated header as a separate section, so keying a SelectGroup by label alone would collide there. Latent today (no catalog repeats a header) but the data model allows it, and the unit test asserts it. Reported by CodeRabbit on #6920.

Summary
validateAgentModelSelection, so a model the agent can't take fails with an actionable message instead of being silently dropped at launch.Why / Context
Reported by @iamwix on X, mid-rollout at his org:
The picker itself has existed since #5248 and renders in both create surfaces. The problem is its contents: Claude's catalog was
fable / opus / claude-opus-5 / sonnet / haiku— four aliases that resolve to whatever the CLI considers newest, and one pinned id. A team standardising on an older release had nothing to pick.The second half is worse than a missing option.
buildAgentModelArgsreturns[]for any id outside the curated list, so the flag is dropped and the agent launches on its own default — exit code 0, no warning:Effort and mode have validated with a readable error since they shipped (
validateAgentEffortSelection,validateAgentModeSelection); model was the odd one out. This matters more once #6805 lands--modelon the CLI, SDK, and MCP — that PR's docs already word around the gap ("Unsupported effort values fail before launch").How It Works
validateAgentModelSelectionmirrors the effort validator exactly, and is wired into both entry points:buildTerminalAgentLaunch— a direct agent launch rejects the model before building the command.validateAgentLaunchOptions— the workspace-create preflight, so--model bogusfails before the worktree is created rather than after.Unknown ids now produce
Unsupported model "claude-opus-4-9" for Claude. Choose one of: fable, opus, sonnet, haiku, claude-fable-5, ….buildAgentModelArgskeeps its degrade-to-default behavior as the backstop for callers that bypass validation.Manual QA Checklist

Adds pinned Claude model releases to the workspace-create model picker and rejects unsupported model overrides before launch. Previously the picker only offered family aliases that track the CLI's newest model, and unknown model IDs were silently dropped, launching the agent on its default with no error.
