Andre said his terminal opencode reaches paid zen models and suggested it was simply not set
up here. Correct, and my second wrong call on this page.
The new /api pipeline has its own credential store — /api/integration and /api/credential —
separate from auth.json, which is what the CLI, opencode run and the legacy /session surface
read. Ours had none connected, so it fell back to what needs no credential: the free tier.
One POST to /api/integration/opencode/connect/key fixes it, and it survives a serve restart.
sonnet and haiku both run on the new pipeline now.
The tell I had and did not use: the configured default is big-pickle, and a session with no
model ran on ling-3.0-tiny-free INSTEAD of the default. A pipeline ignoring its configured
default cannot use it — a credential symptom, sitting in /config/providers the whole time.
So steer, queue, interrupt and the resumable per-session SSE are all available with real
models. alpha needs the same one-time connect, and the sidecar should do it at boot rather
than depend on someone having run it by hand.

Not sonnet, and not variant. Swept models through the new pipeline: every -free model runs,
every paid one silently does not — haiku, sonnet and codex-mini all never start.
Ruled out: variant (sonnet advertises low/medium/high/max and echoes back an invalid
"default", which looked like the answer and was not — setting high explicitly also never
ran); credentials (zen key in auth.json plus ANTHROPIC_API_KEY); and the sidecar environment,
since the same process runs sonnet fine through opencode run.
So the new pipeline does not resolve paid-model credentials and says nothing, while run and
the legacy path authenticate fine. Upstream bug in an in-progress pipeline, not our config.
The fork stays blocked, but precisely: steer and queue are proven, and the day a paid model
runs there the migration is worth doing immediately. Re-run the sweep after each upgrade.

I concluded a few commits ago that the serve new /api/session pipeline accepts prompts and
never executes them, and kept turns on opencode run. Wrong. Every probe behind that passed
an explicit model claude-sonnet-4-6, and THAT model silently does not run on the new
surface — no error, no event, no assistant message. Drop the field and the same request
completes.
One broken variable in every experiment, read as a property of the system.
Measured on 1.18.16, both machines upgraded today: delivery steer injects into a running
turn (verified, output changed to order), delivery queue runs after it (verified, ONE then
TWO, zero errors), and model selection works via POST /model — just not with sonnet.
So the fork is reopened and worth taking, targeting the new surface rather than the legacy
message path, which generates fine but has neither steer nor queue. Blocked only on why
sonnet dies there while working under opencode run.
Third time this project has hit the same trap: opencode accepts input it does not honour
and says nothing — directory in the body, location.directory that never existed, now model.
A probe that changes one thing and sees nothing has not learned the feature is missing.

The serve has a second, newer API surface nobody here had looked at, and it publishes
exactly what the parity doc calls impossible under stdin ignore: delivery steer and queue
on POST /prompt, an interrupt that does not tear down, and a per-session event stream with
an after cursor — the durable-replay machinery officer hand-built for claude, as a
primitive. That would have made migrating obvious.
It does not execute. A prompt is accepted with an admittedSeq, stored, emits
prompt.admitted and prompted, and then never steps. Ruled out separately: the model, the
permissions (build is *:allow, no pending requests), the per-request location (the surface
is location-scoped via header or a deepObject query, supplied everywhere, no change), and a
config gate. The legacy POST /session/id/message?directory= generates fine in 17s, so the
serve itself works — only the new pipeline is inert. session.next.* is the tell.
And not a version problem, which is the part everything here had backwards: this Mac runs
1.18.11 and alpha runs 1.17.9, measured. The dead pipeline was tested on the NEWER binary.
The original "this server runs 1.17.9" meant alpha and was copied to a machine where it was
false; corrected in runner.ts and the test.
So building against it now would produce code that looks finished and does nothing, which
is the failure mode this project keeps rediscovering. One request reopens the question
after any upgrade, and the doc names it.
Also de-flakes the lifecycle tests: they spawn real processes, and a fixed sleep(750) went
red once on a machine busy running these probes. Presence assertions poll now.
