Render provider settings through dnd-kit sortable rows, include official providers in the same order model, and persist providerOrder across server and desktop state.
Tested:
- bun test src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/persistence-upgrade.test.ts
- cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/stores/providerStore.test.ts src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx -t "providerStore reorderProviders|Settings > Providers tab"
- cd desktop && bun run lint
- cd desktop && bun run build
- bun run check:persistence-upgrade
Not-tested:
- bun run check:server (broad suite hit environment failures during this run: MCP stdio zshrc timeout, adapter dependency gap at the time, and e2e cascade)
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
ChatGPT OAuth needs a stable built-in provider identity and a runtime kind that survives provider index normalization. This keeps normal saved providers unchanged while letting the desktop treat openai-official as an active provider without storing secrets in providers.json.
Constraint: providers.json migration must preserve activeId=openai-official even when providers[] is empty
Constraint: ChatGPT Official metadata must stay token-free in the provider index
Rejected: Treat ChatGPT Official as a normal openai_responses provider row | it would require persisting a fake saved provider and would still lose activeId during migration
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not teach later OpenAI OAuth work to depend on providers[] containing the built-in provider
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts --test-name-pattern "ChatGPT Official provider metadata"
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: git diff --check
Desktop users can carry provider indexes, managed settings, localStorage state, and native update state from builds that no longer match current readers. This adds startup migrations and recovery paths before server and React state are consumed, plus a persistence upgrade gate so future storage protocol changes ship with old-format fixtures.
Constraint: Existing installs may contain malformed or legacy JSON/localStorage that must not block startup.
Constraint: Local verify should evaluate the current worktree diff rather than unrelated detached-worktree history.
Rejected: Treat invalid persisted state as fatal | reproduces white-screen and startup failure behavior for existing users.
Rejected: Bypass PR policy locally | hides real gate behavior and does not fix detached-worktree false positives.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Any local JSON, localStorage, or app config shape change must add a migration fixture and keep `bun run check:persistence-upgrade` green.
Tested: bun run check:persistence-upgrade; bun run check:policy; bun run check:desktop; bun run check:server; bun run check:native; bun run verify (9 passed, 1 coverage baseline failure)
Not-tested: Live provider baseline; existing user configs beyond covered fixtures
Provider presets now carry an explicit auth strategy so Anthropic-compatible services can choose the right Claude Code environment shape instead of relying on one global variable. The desktop editor exposes the same strategy, keeps settings.json previews in sync, and applies the strategy to connection tests as well as runtime env sync.
Constraint: Third-party Anthropic-compatible providers do not agree on ANTHROPIC_API_KEY versus ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.
Rejected: Force all third-party providers onto one env var | breaks providers that require bearer auth, dual variables, or dummy local auth.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Add new provider presets with explicit authStrategy; do not infer auth behavior from model names alone.
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers-real.test.ts src/server/__tests__/provider-presets.test.ts src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: ALLOW_CLI_CORE_CHANGE=1 bun run quality:pr
Tested: bun run quality:gate --mode baseline --allow-live --provider-model minimax:main:minimax-main
Tested: agent-browser provider edit flow on http://127.0.0.1:19811
Not-tested: Live successful calls for every third-party provider with real credentials.
Teach provider presets and saved providers to carry per-model context windows so auto-compact uses provider-specific limits instead of a blanket fallback. The desktop provider form now keeps these limits in an advanced context section and syncs the generated settings preview with model changes.
Constraint: Third-party provider APIs do not consistently expose machine-readable model context windows.
Rejected: Keep a single 100K/200K fallback | modern provider windows vary from 128K to 1M+ and the fallback caused late or early compaction.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not change provider compact thresholds without re-running real provider long-context checks.
Tested: bun test src/services/compact/autoCompact.test.ts; bun test src/server/__tests__/provider-presets.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers-real.test.ts; bun run check:server; bun run check:desktop; bun run check:policy; bun run check:native; MiniMax/Kimi/DeepSeek live long-context probes; agent-browser provider form flow.
Not-tested: quality:pr policy gate still requires explicit allow-cli-core-change for CLI core edits.
Add a protocol-translating reverse proxy that allows using OpenAI-compatible
API providers (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Groq, etc.) with Claude Code.
The proxy intercepts Anthropic Messages API requests from the CLI, transforms
them to OpenAI Chat Completions or Responses API format, forwards to the
upstream provider, and transforms streaming/non-streaming responses back.
Key features:
- Request transform: Anthropic Messages → OpenAI Chat/Responses
- Response transform: OpenAI → Anthropic (streaming SSE + non-streaming)
- Provider-agnostic reasoning support (reasoning_content, thinking_blocks,
reasoning fields from DeepSeek, OpenAI o-series, GLM-5, Groq, etc.)
- Event queue pattern for correct Anthropic SSE event ordering
- Two-step test: ① connectivity check ② full proxy pipeline validation
- Desktop UI: API format selector, two-step test results display

Implement a full Provider management layer compatible with Claude Code's settings.json protocol.
- ProviderService: CRUD + activation + settings.json sync + HTTP connectivity test
- Provider REST API: 8 endpoints (list, get, create, update, delete, activate, test)
- API key masking in GET responses (sk-a****xyz)
- Models API refactored to read from active Provider dynamically
- 42 unit tests + 6 real-config integration tests, all passing
