What Changed

The model manifest refresh no longer reads enableProviderUpdateChecks, so model metadata always refreshes from the hosted manifest. The setting still controls provider CLI version checks and their update notifications.

Why

I keep enableProviderUpdateChecks off because the provider CLIs update so often that the "update available" notifications got annoying. The same setting also blocked the model manifest refresh, so Claude Code's model list never updated and I couldn't select Opus 5.5. Turning off update notifications shouldn't freeze the model list.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • Provider manifest refreshes now attempt to fetch the latest remote manifest after freshness and retry checks, even when provider update checks are disabled. When a remote manifest is available, refreshes can return it instead of the bundled manifest. This setting no longer prevents remote fetch attempts.

This changes refresh behavior when enableProviderUpdateChecks is false, but the corresponding test was removed without a replacement. Could you add a focused test using the existing HTTP test layer that disables update checks and verifies refresh still fetches the remote manifest? This protects the new independence from the setting. The fix spans the service and test files, so no single-hunk suggestion applies.

Fixed in bccc53b6fc. I restored the test, flipped: with enableProviderUpdateChecks: false, refresh still fetches the remote manifest, with exactly one HTTP request. It fails against the previous code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at dc175fd

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable β€” This is a small, self-contained bug fix that decouples model-manifest refreshes from the provider CLI update-check preference while preserving caching and failure safeguards. A focused opt-out regression test is missing, but the unresolved comment identifies coverage debt rather than a concrete runtime defect.

Restore disabled-setting refresh coverage with an outer fetch counter.

fetchCount must be declared outside Effect.gen because serviceLayers constructs the response handler outside that callback. The test must assert the remote manifest and one HTTP fetch when enableProviderUpdateChecks is false.

@Vrtak-CZ, you’re right. ModelManifest.make does not read ServerSettingsService, and serviceLayers does not provide it. A disabled-setting test would not exercise the setting. If make required that service again, the existing test layers would be incomplete. I withdraw the suggestion to restore the test.

@Vrtak-CZ, I verified commit bccc53b6fc. serviceLayers now provides ServerSettings.layerTest, and the new test sets enableProviderUpdateChecks: false. The test asserts that refresh returns REMOTE_MANIFEST after one HTTP request.

I was wrong to say the test could not protect against this regression. If the old setting check returns before the fetch, this test will fail. I did not run the test.

The previous learning that serviceLayers does not provide settings is now outdated. Can you confirm that I should remove it?

Note

This comment is posted by Julius' dot

Should disabling Provider update checks also stop model-manifest network requests, or only CLI version checks? Settings describes CLI versions, while main's manifest code explicitly treats the switch as a network opt-out. Please confirm the intended scope under prior approval and add the executed regression-test command and result.

Intended scope: only CLI version checks. "Provider update checks" should stop the CLI version lookups and their "update available" notices, and nothing else. It shouldn't stop model metadata from refreshing.

Why this falls under the obvious-bug exception: the setting is described in Settings as "Check installed provider CLIs for newer available versions" (mobile: "Check installed provider CLIs for newer versions."), and the user docs describe it only in terms of finding newer provider versions. Nothing tells users that turning it off also freezes model lists. Because of that hidden effect, turning off the update notices left the Claude model list stuck on the bundled or last cached manifest, and Opus 5.5 never appeared. The fix removes the settings check from ModelManifest.refresh and changes nothing else. The TTL, the retry backoff and the disk cache all still apply.

If you do want a network opt-out for the manifest, I think it should be its own setting rather than a hidden side effect of this one. I'm happy to drop this PR in favour of that.

Regression test: still fetches when provider update checks are disabled in apps/server/src/provider/ModelManifest.test.ts. With enableProviderUpdateChecks: false, refresh returns the remote manifest after exactly one HTTP request.

1$ cd apps/server && vp test run src/provider/ModelManifest.test.ts
2 Test Files 1 passed (1)
3 Tests 15 passed (15)

Against main's ModelManifest.ts (fix reverted, new test kept), the same command fails on that test:

1 FAIL src/provider/ModelManifest.test.ts > ModelManifest service > still fetches when provider update checks are disabled
2 Tests 1 failed | 14 passed (15)

Not checked: I didn't run a manual end-to-end check in the app after the fix. The evidence above is the focused service test.

Thanks for working on this. We merged the orchestrator V2 rewrite in #2829, and we are closing this PR as part of that transition.

The patch conflicts with the rewrite in apps/server/src/provider/ModelManifest.ts. Even where the conflict is small enough to rebase, we are asking for fresh PRs against the new base so we can review and verify the behavior in V2.

Sorry for the extra work this creates. If the change is still needed on V2, please rebuild it on current main, verify it there, and open a new PR linking back here. We're closing the current implementation without assuming the underlying request is resolved.
