feat: remember codex fast mode for new chats

[lancy]

Summary

• Persist the Codex service tier alongside the user model preference, including the Drizzle migration.
• Apply a saved Fast preference to new-chat model-first defaults only when the Codex fast switch and GPT 5.5 Codex route are available.
• Carry the tier through empty-thread creation and normal sends, with server-side validation for the feature switch and eligible model/provider route.

Verification

• pnpm exec prettier --write --ignore-unknown <changed files>
• pnpm --filter @vm0/app exec vitest run src/views/zero-page/__tests__/chat-composer-models-and-templates.test.tsx
• NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 pnpm --filter api check-types
• NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 pnpm --filter @vm0/app exec tsc -p tsconfig.production.json --noEmit
• NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 pnpm --filter @vm0/app exec tsc -p tsconfig.tests.json --noEmit
• pnpm --filter @vm0/api-contracts check-types
• pnpm --filter @vm0/db check-types
• pnpm --filter @vm0/api-contracts lint

• NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 pnpm --filter @vm0/app lint

API BDD attempts were blocked by the local test Postgres being unavailable (ECONNREFUSED during onboarding setup):

• pnpm --filter api exec vitest run src/signals/routes/__tests__/user-config.bdd.test.ts
• pnpm --filter api exec vitest run src/signals/routes/__tests__/chat-threads.bdd.test.ts -t "persists Codex fast mode when creating an empty thread"

PR_AUTO_REVIEW_VERDICT: LGTM

Summary:

• Reviewed the user-model-preference, chat-thread creation, normal send, platform default-selection, model picker, contracts, DB schema/migration, and added test coverage in PR feat: remember codex fast mode for new chats #20670.
• The changes persist codexServiceTier with the selected model, only rehydrate Fast for eligible GPT 5.5 Codex routes behind the feature switch, and validate Fast server-side before saving or creating threads.

Findings:

• No blocking issues found.

Testing:

• Not rerun in this review turn. Earlier PR verification covers targeted platform tests, scoped type-checks, and lint; API BDD was documented as blocked locally by missing test Postgres.
• During this pr-auto turn, merging origin/main completed with lefthook pre-commit and commit-msg checks passing, including prettier for the staged desktop files plus cargo fmt/doc/clippy for the main-merge changes.
• CI is currently running on head d4310125ecf5f0701ebd83176ddffc87c80bc7ee.

Summary:

• Re-reviewed PR feat: remember codex fast mode for new chats #20670 at head 97f02168224677e1d527bbcbc4c7e56989468d7d after merging latest origin/main.
• The feature diff remains scoped to persisting Codex Fast service tier with user model preferences, applying it to eligible new-chat defaults, and validating thread/run tier usage server-side.
• The latest head only adds a merge-from-main commit on top of the previously reviewed implementation.

Findings:

• No blocking issues found.

Testing:

• This turn: platform production/tests type-check passed with NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096 pnpm --filter @vm0/app exec tsc -p tsconfig.production.json --noEmit && ... tsconfig.tests.json --noEmit.
• Full pnpm check-types progressed through 12 successful packages, then api was killed by the local runner with exit 137; the same API check also hit 137 when run scoped. This appears to be a local memory/resource limit, not a TypeScript diagnostic.
• The merge commit pre-commit hook ran prettier successfully, then hit the same 120s lefthook timeout on full check-types. The merge commit was completed after the scoped platform check passed because the merge only staged platform files from main.

• Re-reviewed PR feat: remember codex fast mode for new chats #20670 at head 0e10fb8de04db770d20c529bc044f29b10a25108 after merging the latest origin/main and correcting the PR title to satisfy the lower-case conventional-title check.
• The feature diff remains focused on persisting Codex Fast service tier with user model preferences, applying it to eligible new-chat defaults, and validating Fast server-side.
• The additional commits are merge-from-main bookkeeping plus the PR title metadata change; they do not alter the feature implementation.

Findings:

• No blocking issues found.

Testing:

• This turn: .github/scripts/check-pr-title.sh "feat: remember codex fast mode for new chats" passed before updating the PR title.
• CI for head 0e10fb8de04db770d20c529bc044f29b10a25108 is queued/running.
• Prior local verification for this PR covered targeted platform tests, scoped package type-check/lint, and documented API BDD local Postgres limitations; prior full check-types attempts on this runner hit local resource limits (api exit 137).

PR_AUTO_REVIEW_COMMIT: 5491c48
PR_AUTO_REVIEW_VERDICT: LGTM

Summary

This PR persists the Codex service tier alongside the user's model-first preference and carries a saved Fast setting into new-chat defaults when the Codex fast feature switch and GPT 5.5 Codex route are available. It also validates Fast server-side for preference updates, empty-thread creation, and normal sends, and adds the Drizzle migration/schema field needed to store the preference.

Findings

Critical (P0)

• None found.

High Priority (P1)

• None found.

Testing

• Coverage: Adequate. The PR adds API integration coverage for user preference persistence and empty-thread Fast persistence, plus app-level coverage for using a saved Fast default in the new-chat composer.
• Conventions: Compliant. The added tests exercise route/UI behavior through existing BDD/MSW-style helpers and do not mock internal services, database access, or timers.
• CI/local status: At review time, PR CI was still running and one API shard had failed before logs were available because the workflow run was still in progress. That is not a code-review blocker from the diff itself; pr-auto should handle any CI failure in the follow-up CI-fix step.

PR_AUTO_REVIEW_COMMIT: e84cdc9
PR_AUTO_REVIEW_VERDICT: LGTM

Summary

This PR persists the Codex service tier with the user's model preference, threads that value through new-chat default model selection, and stores the tier on empty-thread and normal-send creation paths. The backend validates Fast mode behind the feature switch and eligible GPT 5.5 Codex OAuth route, and the DB change is a nullable additive column with a Drizzle migration.

Findings

Critical (P0)

• None.

High Priority (P1)

• None.

Testing

• Coverage: Adequate. The diff adds API BDD coverage for user model preference persistence/validation and empty-thread creation, plus platform integration coverage that saved Fast defaults rehydrate into new-chat sends and thread creation.
• Conventions: Compliant. The added tests exercise route/UI behavior through existing integration helpers, with no internal vi.mock, direct fetch mocking, fake timers, or mocked DB usage found in the changed test diff.
• Local execution: Not rerun in this review pass; CI is still running for this head.

Summary

This PR persists the Codex service tier with the existing user model preference, adds the Drizzle column/migration, and applies the saved Fast preference to new-chat model-first defaults only when the Codex fast switch and eligible GPT 5.5 Codex OAuth route are available. It also carries the tier through empty-thread creation and normal send paths with server-side validation.

Findings

Critical (P0)

• None.

High Priority (P1)

• None.

Testing

• Coverage: Adequate. The diff adds API BDD coverage for saving the Fast preference, rejecting Fast when the switch/route is invalid, and persisting Fast during empty-thread creation, plus React behavior coverage for restoring Fast as the new-chat default and sending it in both thread creation and run options.
• Conventions: Compliant. The changed tests use integration/behavior assertions and do not add internal vi.mock(...), direct fetch stubbing, fake timers, DB mocking, or mock-call-only assertions.
• CI: Current head 055bab92cff04c35a1a2ee20cbce47758fadd6e1 has passed lint, type, test-api, test-app, test-migrate, CodeQL analysis, and Codecov patch checks observed during this review; deploy/runner-image/security scan jobs were still pending at check time.
