* fix(native-chat): show the Codex and Claude model picker the moment a chat opens A new structured chat showed no model picker until its session had been created, spawned, initialized and had answered a model listing — and the picker then listed the models a second time. Codex's listing often goes to the network, so the picker took 0.6-2 s to appear. - Keep a host-owned model catalog per agent and account home, persisted on success only and refreshed in the background once it ages out. A new read-only agentSession.modelCatalog RPC answers from it without a live session; sessions reuse it instead of listing again. - Render the picker while the launch is still provisional, showing the saved default. A pick made before the session exists is held and applied once it publishes; only the host's acceptance saves it as the default. - Mark the model and effort set in the user's Codex config as the listing's default (config/read), so the first frame names what the chat will run. - Resolve the account a record-less read would use without running launch preparation, which writes and syncs account state. * fix(codex): disable plugins in the model catalog probe app-server * fix(native-chat): read the host model catalog only for panes on this machine * fix(native-chat): name a pre-report model only for a chat this view launched * test(native-chat): pin the launch latch across publish * test(native-chat): pin a held pick reaching the host before the first send * fix(claude): pin the catalog probe's config dir by the session spawn's rule * fix(native-chat): read the host model catalog only for a visible chat * fix(native-chat): rewrite the model catalog file only when a listing changes * test(native-chat): type-check the first-send order fixture * refactor(native-chat): keep the structured options hook under the line cap * fix(native-chat): send the first turn only after every pick held during launch settles * fix(claude): name no default effort from the catalog probe listing * fix(native-chat): name no listed default model for a chat resumed from history * refactor(native-chat): let the launch own picks made before it publishes A pick made while a chat launches had no fence to go to, so the pane held it and flushed it after publish; every other sender (the outbox, the launch prompt) then needed its own gate to wait for that flush. The launch now keeps those picks in its own state, applies them against the create receipt's fence before it counts as published, and every sender follows publish by construction. The pane flush, the outbox gate and the module-wide held-pick registry are gone. The launch also snapshots the saved selection its create seeds when the intent is built, so a pick in another chat no longer relabels one still launching, and a pick the host refuses is reported the way a refused mid-session pick is. * fix(native-chat): name no default model a workspace's own config can replace The catalog's default is the account's, read without a working directory, but a chat runs in its worktree, where a project config (Codex's .codex/config.toml between the project root and the worktree, or a Claude .claude settings file that sets a model) picks the model instead. The picker named the account default there while the chat ran the project's model. A new chat's catalog read now names its worktree. The host checks that workspace for such config (existence only for Codex, the model key for Claude) and, when any is present or the workspace is not a local directory, serves the listing with no default, so the picker names nothing until the chat reports its model. * fix(native-chat): name the listed default model before the report only for Codex * fix(claude): let an option pick made while Claude starts wait for it instead of being refused * fix(codex): name no listed default when the configured model is not in the listing * fix(native-chat): show the picker as unavailable until a published chat attaches * fix(codex): keep the catalog probe's listing when config/read stalls * fix(native-chat): write the pending model catalog save before quit * chore: drop an unrelated lockfile rewrite * fix(native-chat): rename the catalog store's listing parameter off the global fetch name * chore: drop an unrelated lockfile rewrite * fix(native-chat): name the model Claude will run before its first turn * fix(native-chat): keep Claude's pre-turn applied effort out of the saved session options
