Summary

A provider whose live model fetch fails gets an amber "Discovery failed" badge on its group header and nothing else. EmptyProviderHint already carries the guidance and the link into provider settings, but it only renders when the group has no rows, so the reporter — who had added a Gemini model by hand — saw a failure badge next to a model that would not work, with nothing connecting the two.

The mechanism they eventually found on their own is that discovery being on is what holds those rows back. A newly added key provider is stamped initialModelSelection.status = "pending"; failed discovery is degraded, so initialization never finalizes; pending rows are then forced disabled and dropped from the Codex catalog. Turning "Discover models from provider" off makes the seed authoritative and releases them, which is exactly the workaround the report describes.

DiscoveryDependencyHint renders that explanation for a failed group that has rows, alongside the same settings link the empty-group hint uses. The control's name is interpolated from pws.liveModels rather than restated, so the sentence names the real switch in all nine locales and cannot drift from its label if that label is ever reworded. The link uses the existing navigateHash("providers"): hashBelongsToPage has no providers/<name> arm and rewrites providers/workspace to providers, so an invented per-provider deep link would be normalised out of the URL bar.

For the record, the English interface never says "model sync failed" — that is the reporter's paraphrase of models.discoveryFailedBadge.

Deliberately out of scope

Both of these are maintainer policy rather than copy, and neither is needed to close the issue as filed:

  • Flipping the registry google entry to liveModels: false would change seed behaviour for every Gemini install.
  • Treating degraded discovery plus configured rows as authoritative enough to finalize initialModelSelection contradicts tests/providers/initial-model-selection.test.ts:278-285. That second one is what would make a manually added model usable without turning discovery off; it deserves its own issue rather than being folded in here.

Verification

Local checks: NOT RUN. The maintainer set an explicit constraint for this delivery round that no local product suite runs — no bun test, bun install, bun run typecheck, bun run build, bun run test:changed, lint, or privacy:scan. Exact-head remote CI is the only gate for this PR.

New regression coverage in gui/tests/models-discovery-failed-hint.test.tsx, next to the existing models-empty-provider harness it borrows its setup from. It mounts the real page against one provider that has a row, and asserts:

  • with discovery: { status: "failed", reason: "http", httpStatus: 401 }, the rendered group keeps the "Discovery failed" badge and now also names the mechanism and the exact control, with the settings link. The badge alone is the state before this change, so the first two assertions are what turn red without it.
  • with { status: "ok" } and with no discovery state at all, neither the badge nor the new sentence appears.
  • the hint's link renders as a link-btn inside a role="status" region and carries no providers/<name> target.

The new key models.discoveryFailedDependency was added by hand to all nine locale catalogs with real translations rather than English placeholders. No layout registration was needed: the test lives under gui/tests/, which is outside the tests/ tree that scripts/test-layout/layout.json maps.

No screenshot is attached. Producing one requires building the dashboard, which this round's no-local-build constraint forbids. The visual change is one informational line inside an existing provider group — the same icon, tone, and settings link the empty-group hint already renders, appearing under the group header when discovery has failed and the group still lists models.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. This is interface copy for an existing control that is already documented; no docs page states the old behaviour.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. No auth, credential, workflow, or release-automation surface is touched. The hint renders no provider detail — the failure reason it sits beside is the existing server-owned, sanitized summary.

Closes #4075.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a clear message to provider model groups when model discovery fails repeatedly.
    • Explained how to disable live model discovery and use manually added or static models instead.
    • Added a direct link to provider settings from the guidance message.
    • Added translations for the message in multiple supported languages.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved visibility of failed model discovery dependencies in the Models page.

A provider whose live fetch fails gets an amber "Discovery failed" badge on its
group header and nothing else. EmptyProviderHint already carries the guidance
and the link into provider settings, but it only renders when the group has NO
rows, so the reporter -- who had added a Gemini model by hand -- saw a failure
badge next to a model that would not work, with nothing connecting the two.

The mechanism they eventually found on their own is that discovery being ON is
what holds those rows back. A newly added key provider is stamped
initialModelSelection.status = "pending"; failed discovery is degraded, so
initialization never finalizes; pending rows are then forced disabled and
dropped from the Codex catalog. Turning "Discover models from provider" off
makes the seed authoritative and releases them.

DiscoveryDependencyHint renders that sentence for a failed group that has rows,
alongside the same settings link. The control's name is interpolated from
pws.liveModels rather than restated, so the copy names the real switch in all
nine locales and cannot drift from its label. The link uses the existing
navigateHash("providers"): hashBelongsToPage has no providers/<name> arm and
rewrites providers/workspace to providers, so an invented per-provider deep
link would be normalised away.

Copy and CTA only. Flipping registry google to liveModels: false would change
seed behaviour for every Gemini install, and treating degraded discovery plus
configured rows as authoritative enough to finalize initialModelSelection
contradicts tests/providers/initial-model-selection.test.ts:278-285. Both are
maintainer policy rather than copy; the second is what would make a manually
added model usable without turning discovery off, and belongs in its own issue.

Closes #4075.

Explanation

The discovery hint, localization, navigation, and regression tests are in scope for issue #4075. However, the PR objectives also describe unrelated changes: wire-level coverage for pricingStatus and Free-only switch alignment in two interfaces. These changes do not support the linked issue.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated pricingStatus regression coverage and Free-only switch alignment from this pull request, or link the relevant issues and explain why those changes are required here. Keep only the discovery dependency UX changes and their supporting tests for issue #4075.

Two review findings on the free-model filter.

The classifier had unit coverage and both consumers had predicate coverage, but
nothing proved the field survives the projection between them. It is set on a
discovery hint, merged through applyProviderConfigHints, spread by
listManagementModelRows, and read by the Dashboard and the CLI off
GET /api/models -- four hops, none of which names the field explicitly, so any
one of them could drop it silently. The new case drives real discovery against a
stubbed /models response and asserts a free row, a paid row, and an unpriced row
whose field is ABSENT rather than "unknown", plus that manualPricing stays
orthogonal.

The Free only switch also sat below the search box in the provider workspace and
above it on the Models page. Same filter, opposite sides of the same input. It
now sits above the search box on both.

리뷰 · 우선순위 64 / 80

이 PR은 이슈 #4075를 닫으려는 Lane B 두 번째 단위다. 지금 dev(HEAD a7509fe00, 패키지 2.50.0)에서는 Models 페이지 프로바이더 그룹에 라이브 모델 검색이 실패하면 헤더에만 노란 Discovery failed 배지가 붙고, 안내 문장(EmptyProviderHint)은 행이 하나도 없을 때만 나온다. 그래서 사용자가 Gemini 같은 키 프로바이더에 모델을 손으로 추가해 둔 상태에서는, 배지와 “안 되는 모델 행”만 보이고 둘을 잇는 설명이 없다. 실제로 막히는 이유는 discovery가 켜진 채 실패한 뒤 initialModelSelection.status = "pending"이 끝나지 않고, pending 행이 disabled로 강제되어 Codex 카탈로그에서 빠지기 때문이다. 프로바이더 설정의 “프로바이더에서 모델 검색”(pws.liveModels)을 끄면 시드가 권위가 되어 풀린다. 이 PR은 그 문장을 DiscoveryDependencyHint로, 행이 있는 실패 그룹에도 같은 설정 링크와 함께 보여 준다.

코드 경로는 현재 체크아웃과 맞다. gui/src/pages/models-provider-hints.tsx에 힌트 컴포넌트를 추가하고, gui/src/pages/Models.tsxrenderGroup에서 rows.length > 0 && discoveryFailure일 때만 렌더한다. 컨트롤 이름은 문구를 다시 쓰지 않고 t("pws.liveModels")를 끼워 넣어 9개 로케일이 라벨과 어긋나지 않게 했다. 링크는 기존 navigateHash("providers")만 쓴다. 딥링크 providers/<name>hashBelongsToPage에 없고 정규화로 사라지므로 의도적으로 피한 선택이다. 로케일 키 models.discoveryFailedDependency는 en/ko 포함 9개에 실번역이 들어 있다. 회귀 테스트 gui/tests/models-discovery-failed-hint.test.tsx는 실패/정상/discovery 없음과 링크 해시를 검증한다.

같은 브랜치 두 번째 커밋은 #3666 후속이다. pricingStatus가 discovery 힌트 → applyProviderConfigHintslistManagementModelRowsGET /api/models 네 홉을 살아남는지 tests/codex-integration/catalog-free-pricing-status.test.ts에 와이어 회귀를 넣고, Provider Workspace의 Free only 스위치를 Models 페이지와 같이 검색창 로 맞췄다. 베이스는 lane-b/1-3666(드래프트)이라 #4156(무료 모델 필터) 스택 위에 얹힌 형태다. round-2 플랜에서 #4075는 Lane B의 기계적 UX 단위로 적혀 있고, 본문이 명시한 정책 변경(레지스트리 googleliveModels: false, degraded discovery + 설정 행을 authoritative finalize로 취급)은 의도적으로 빼 두었다. 후자는 tests/providers/initial-model-selection.test.ts 278–285행의 “degraded discovery does not complete initialization” 계약과 충돌한다.

라인 수준의 문제는 치명적이지 않다. 드래프트·스택·범위 혼합·컴포넌트 계약 정도다.

gui/src/pages/models-provider-hints.tsx (DiscoveryDependencyHint) - props가 없어서 부모 게이트(rows.length > 0 && discoveryFailure)에만 의존한다. 지금은 맞지만, 다른 화면에서 그대로 꽂으면 “검색이 켜져 있다”는 문장이 항상 나온다.
gui/src/pages/Models.tsx (힌트 삽입부) - 행이 보이기만 하면(실제 picker에 안 나가도) 힌트가 뜬다. #4075 증상과 맞아서 의도일 가능성이 크지만, “보이는 행만”으로 좁힐지는 선택지다.
PR 제목/본문 vs 두 번째 커밋 - 제목은 #4075 카피 수정인데, #3666 와이어 핀·Free 스위치 정렬이 같이 들어 있다. 스택 후속으로는 자연스럽지만 리뷰어가 한 이슈로만 읽기 쉽다.
베이스 lane-b/1-3666 / draft - dev에 바로 머지할 수 없다. #4156(또는 lane-b/1)이 먼저 안정돼야 한다.
검증 - 라운드 제약으로 로컬 스위트 미실행, remote CI만. 새 GUI 테스트·와이어 테스트가 있으므로 CI 그린이 실질 게이트다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
#4156(lane-b/1-3666)이 dev에 안착한 뒤 이 드래프트를 Ready로 바꾸고, 정책 확장 없이 카피+힌트+회귀 테스트(+ #3666 와이어 핀)만으로 #4075를 닫고 머지하는 쪽이 맞다. google liveModels 기본값 변경이나 initialModelSelection finalize 완화는 별 이슈로 남겨 두자. CI가 깨지면 그 테스트부터 고치고, 범위는 더 넓히지 말 것.

Screenshot gate waived by the project owner.

This is a deliberate waiver of the screenshot requirement on a real GUI change, and it is not a claim that the gate misfired. The gui-screenshot-waived label is described in this repository as a waiver for false-positive screenshot requirements; that is a narrower reading than the use here, so the record should say plainly what happened.

The visual states this round adds — a decode-rate figure stacked on a live request row, a Free-only catalog filter over discovered pricing, and an inactive badge driven by real quota exhaustion — do not render from a static build. Each needs a running proxy sitting in a specific upstream state, so a screenshot here would cost a live reproduction rather than a build step. The description carries a written account of the surface instead.

The decision and its reasoning are recorded in devlog/_plan/260910_post249_round2/120_landing_gate_decision.md.

#4156 and #4158 landed on dev while this branch was open, and both touch the
same catalog surfaces. Every conflict was additive -- the same declaration list,
the same locale catalog, the same row type -- so each one keeps both sides:
quotaInactiveReason (#1711) beside pricingStatus (#3666) on ModelRow and on the
parsed catalog row, and models.inactiveNoCredit beside
models.discoveryFailedDependency in all nine locales.

Two of those hunks shared a single JSDoc opener, so keeping both bodies left the
second block without its /** in models-shared.ts and parsing.ts. Restored.

Local checks: NOT RUN, per this round's constraint. Exact-head remote CI gates.
