Codex providers can now run in two modes per provider:
- Proxy-Chat (route takeover): apiFormat=openai_chat, existing Responses<->Chat conversion. Unchanged.
- Native-Responses (direct): apiFormat=openai_responses, no proxy. cc-switch generates ~/.codex/cc-switch-model-catalog.json so Codex shows the custom models and tools work without the freeform apply_patch (type=custom) tool that native gateways like MiMo reject; editing falls back to shell_command.
Catalog generation is keyed on apiFormat (CodexCatalogToolProfile), decoupled from the takeover toggle, so native providers persist a catalog without enabling local route mapping.
Codex's catalog parser requires base_instructions on every entry; the native template carries a neutral default and per-vendor official text overrides it (MiMo, MiniMax). Synthesized catalogs for Qwen/Doubao/LongCat use the neutral default.
Existing native providers must be re-saved once to regenerate a valid catalog (no DB migration).
- Remove mergeCodexDefaultCatalogModelForSave implicit injection (P1)
The model mapping table is now the single source of truth; no hidden
entries are prepended on save.
- Sync first catalog row model into config.toml on save
Ensures Codex default request model matches the table's first entry
instead of retaining a stale template value.
- Remove API Format selector from CodexFormFields (P3)
wire_api is always 'responses'; the selector confused users into
thinking they were changing the upstream protocol. Only the 'Needs
Local Routing' toggle remains.
- Add restart hint to model mapping i18n text (P2)
model_catalog_json is loaded at Codex startup; users are now informed
that a restart is needed after changes.
- Unify write_codex_live_with_catalog helper (P4)
Replaces three scattered prepare+write call sites in config.rs,
provider/live.rs, and proxy.rs with a single entry point.
- Clean up useCodexConfigState dead state (P3 follow-up)
Remove codexModelName, codexContextWindow, codexAutoCompactLimit and
their handlers/effects since no component consumes them after the UI
consolidation.
