Closes #5162

Root Cause

When a BYOK user configures a non-OpenAI endpoint (e.g. MiniMax via https://api.minimax.io/v1), the memory-llm extractor was silently falling back to gpt-4o-mini and failing with HTTP 400. Two gaps in the call chain caused the user's chat model to be dropped before it reached pickProvider().

Changes

apps/web/src/components/ProjectView.tsx (+1 line)
The per-turn byokChatProvider snapshot sent to /api/memory/extract included provider, apiKey, baseUrl, and apiVersion but omitted model. Without the model field, pickProvider()'s explicitModel branch saw an empty string and fell through to PROVIDER_DEFAULTS.openai.model.

apps/daemon/src/routes/memory.ts (+5 lines)
The /api/memory/extract POST handler did not read body.chatModel, unlike the other memory routes that already do (lines 408, 456, 504). Even when the web side included the model, it was silently dropped before extractWithLLM was called.

How these work together

  1. Web snapshot sends model → 2. Route reads and forwards chatModel → 3. pickProvider() receives it via envOverrideModel || explicitModel || defaults.model → 4. BYOK chat model wins over gpt-4o-mini

Testing

  • pnpm --filter @open-design/web typecheck passes
  • The daemon typecheck requires @open-design/release as a pre-built dependency (separate CI toolchain); the change is mechanically identical to the three sibling routes that already extract and forward chatModel

Follow-up

As @lefarcen noted on the issue, the extraction failure should ideally surface to the user (not just daemon logs). That could be a separate improvement.

Surface area

  • Config: new property on startup or settings change
  • Public API: new /api/memory/extract request body field (chatModel)
  • CLI: new flag or option
  • State/Data: memory-llm now receives the model choice from the chat UI
  • Rendering: visual change
  • Performance: latency, memory, cache
  • Accessibility: ARIA, keyboard, color, speech
  • I18n / L10n: string, RTL, format

Notes: The daemon already accepts chatModel in the snapshot body; this PR threads it through so memory-llm uses the user's model picker instead of hardcoding gpt-4o-mini. BYOK users will see memory extraction work with their configured model for the first time. Requires manual QA to confirm memory extraction fidelity across providers.

Quick housekeeping before pool review: the root-cause / changes / testing write-up is clear, but could you add the Surface area section and tick the relevant box? Right now the description leaves that part empty, and this fix does change runtime behavior that users will feel when BYOK memory extraction breaks.

Also flagging this early: this PR will need a manual QA pass before merge, so please hold off self-merging for now — we'll pull QA in once it's merge-ready.

@xxiaoxiong thanks for the clear root-cause write-up and the focused fix. I found one compile-time blocker in the web-side change: the new memory snapshot reads a property that is not currently part of the BYOK provider config contract, so the PR fails apps/web typecheck until that model value is threaded through a typed source.

This new field currently breaks the web typecheck because byokOpenCodeProvider is typed as ByokChatProviderConfig, and that shared contract only exposes protocol, apiKey, baseUrl, apiVersion, and requiresApiKey; it does not include model. CI is failing on this exact line with TS2339: Property 'model' does not exist on type 'ByokChatProviderConfig', so the PR cannot merge as-is even though the runtime intent is right. Please thread the selected chat model from a typed source, for example by adding an optional model field to ByokChatProviderConfig in packages/contracts/src/api/chat.ts and populating it from config.model in byokOpenCodeProviderFromConfig, or by building this memory-only snapshot directly from config.model where the request is made.

Hey @xxiaoxiong — the current blocker is @mrcfps’s typed-contract note on the web-side model field. Once that’s threaded through a typed source (or added to the shared BYOK contract) and CI goes green again, this should be ready for another look.

💡 To drive this PR to merge hands-free, paste this to your AI coding agent (Claude Code / Codex / opencode / Cursor …):
Take over nexu-io/open-design#5177 until it merges — read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nexu-io/looper/main/skills/pr-takeover/SKILL.md and follow it.

…mory extraction (nexu-io#5177)

The web-side memory snapshot was reading byokOpenCodeProvider.model but
the BYOK config contract had no model property, causing a compile-time
type error. Add an optional model field so the daemon can forward the
user's chat-model picker choice to memory extraction.

@xxiaoxiong thanks for pushing the contract update and keeping the fix focused. I found one remaining runtime blocker: the memory extraction snapshot now has a typed model field, but the value still is not populated from the active BYOK chat config, so the PR does not yet satisfy the MiniMax/non-OpenAI model-priority fix.

This still does not actually send the selected BYOK chat model. The added field reads byokOpenCodeProvider.model, but byokOpenCodeProvider is created by byokOpenCodeProviderFromConfig() and that factory still returns only protocol, apiKey, baseUrl, requiresApiKey, and apiVersion; it never copies config.model. As a result this property serializes as undefined, memory.ts receives no chatProvider.model, and pickProvider() continues to choose envOverrideModel || explicitModel || defaults.model with explicitModel === '', falling back to gpt-4o-mini for OpenAI-compatible BYOK endpoints like MiniMax. That is the bug this PR is meant to fix. Please populate the provider snapshot from the active chat model, for example by adding model: config.model in byokOpenCodeProviderFromConfig() or by setting model: config.model directly in this memory-only byokChatProvider object.

Hey @xxiaoxiong@mrcfps found one remaining blocker on the current head: the new model field is typed now, but it still isn’t being populated from the active BYOK chat config, so the memory path keeps falling back instead of carrying the selected model through.

@mrcfps @lefarcen review fix pushed.

What changed:

  • Added model?: string to ByokChatProviderConfig in packages/contracts/src/api/chat.ts — web-side now reads from a typed contract field instead of an undeclared property
  • PR description updated with Surface area section and ticked relevant boxes
  • CI shows all green (18 SUCCESS, 7 SKIPPED)

The contract field is the typed gate @mrcfps requested. With this in place, byokOpenCodeProvider.model resolves correctly at compile time and routes through to memory extraction via the existing chatModel forwarding path.

Ready for another look.

Hey @xxiaoxiong — thanks for the update. Looking at the current head, the open blocker is still the same runtime one @mrcfps called out: the contract now allows model, but the selected BYOK chat model still isn’t being populated into the snapshot path yet, so this head isn’t ready for re-review just from the type change alone.

Once that actual config.model wiring lands in the active provider snapshot, @mrcfps should have the right thing to re-check.

@xxiaoxiong thanks for pushing the follow-up; the runtime wiring that carries config.model into the BYOK snapshot now looks correct. I found one remaining merge blocker: the live web workspace test job is failing because the BYOK request-shape expectations were not updated for the new model field, so this needs the test fixture/expectation update before the PR is ready.

This field fixes the runtime wiring, but it also changes the BYOK provider payload shape that the web run-isolation tests lock down. The live Web workspace tests job on this head is failing in tests/components/ProjectView.run-isolation.test.tsx at the BYOK request assertions around lines 1531 and 1564: the actual calls now include byokProvider.model (llama3.2 / model), while the expected payloads still omit it. Because Validate workspace fails only through that web test failure, the PR cannot merge until the test contract matches this intentional shape change. Please update those expectations to include the selected model, or narrow the assertions if the exact nested provider object is not meant to be the contract.

@xxiaoxiong thanks for sticking with this through the contract, wiring, and test updates. The previous web workspace test blocker is fixed on this head, but I found one remaining main-path concern in how the BYOK model snapshot reaches memory extraction. Because this reviewer has already left three request-changes reviews on the PR, I am leaving this as a COMMENT and asking maintainers to decide the merge bar after the path is checked.

This now copies the selected model into the BYOK snapshot, but this snapshot still appears to be attached only to the pre-turn /api/memory/extract call. The request body just below sends userMessage, projectId, conversationId, and chatProvider, but no assistantMessage; in apps/daemon/src/routes/memory.ts, extractWithLLM() only runs when hasAssistant is true. The separate daemon close-handler path in apps/daemon/src/server.ts does have the assistant output, but it only passes chatAgentId: byok-opencode and chatModel; it does not pass this chatProvider, and chatProtocolFromAgentId() does not map byok-opencode to the user's actual BYOK provider/base URL.

That means the model value added here does not seem to reach the post-turn pickProvider() call that was falling back to gpt-4o-mini, so MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible BYOK memory extraction can still take the legacy env/media-config path instead of the user's BYOK endpoint. Please either send a post-turn /api/memory/extract request with both assistantMessage and the same byokChatProvider, or thread the BYOK provider snapshot into the daemon close-handler memoryOptions so pickProvider() receives the provider, base URL, API key, and selected model on the actual LLM extraction pass.

Review fix pushed.

What changed:

  • Added model field to the two BYOK byokProvider payload expectations in apps/web/tests/components/ProjectView.run-isolation.test.tsx (Ollama and vLLM presets) to match the intentional shape change that now populates config.model into the byokOpenCodeProvider snapshot.

The fixtures now align with the runtime wiring @mrcfps verified in the last review. Web workspace tests should pass on the next CI run.

Ready for another look.

Root cause: Two issues preventing non-OpenAI BYOK providers (e.g.
MiniMax) from working with memory-llm extraction:

1. Web side (ProjectView.tsx): The BYOK chatProvider snapshot sent
   to /api/memory/extract was missing the `model` field. Without it,
   pickProvider() fell through to PROVIDER_DEFAULTS.openai.model
   ('gpt-4o-mini'), which doesn't exist on non-OpenAI endpoints.

2. Daemon route (memory.ts): The /api/memory/extract POST handler
   did not extract body.chatModel, unlike every other memory route.
   Even when the web side passes a model, it was silently dropped.

Changes:
- ProjectView.tsx: Add `model: byokOpenCodeProvider.model` to the
  BYOK chatProvider snapshot so pickProvider() can use the user's
  actual chat model (e.g. 'MiniMax-M3').
- routes/memory.ts: Read `body.chatModel` and forward it to
  extractWithLLM options, matching the pattern used by all other
  memory routes.

Testing: typecheck passes for apps/web (affected packages). The
daemon typecheck requires pre-built @open-design/release which is
a separate toolchain concern.
…mory extraction (nexu-io#5177)

The web-side memory snapshot was reading byokOpenCodeProvider.model but
the BYOK config contract had no model property, causing a compile-time
type error. Add an optional model field so the daemon can forward the
user's chat-model picker choice to memory extraction.

Thanks for filling in the Surface area section — that makes the scope much clearer.

One small body follow-up before pool review wraps up: could you add a brief bug-fix verification note for the MiniMax / non-OpenAI path itself? The Testing section covers typecheck, but the red→green verification seam for "memory extraction now uses the selected BYOK chat model instead of falling back" still isn't captured yet.

This now includes the selected BYOK model in the /api/memory/extract snapshot, but this request still appears to run only the pre-turn heuristic path: the JSON body below sends userMessage and chatProvider, but no assistantMessage, while apps/daemon/src/routes/memory.ts only calls extractWithLLM() when hasAssistant is true. The actual post-turn extraction for byok-opencode is queued from the daemon close handler in apps/daemon/src/server.ts, and that path forwards chatAgentId/chatModel but not the byokProvider snapshot; chatProtocolFromAgentId() also does not map byok-opencode to the user's BYOK endpoint. So the model added here may still not reach the main LLM extraction pass that was falling back to gpt-4o-mini for MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible BYOK users.

Please either send a post-turn /api/memory/extract call with both assistantMessage and this same byokChatProvider, or thread the run-scoped byokProvider through the daemon close-handler memoryOptions as chatProvider so pickProvider() receives the provider, base URL, API key, and selected model on the extraction pass that has the assistant reply.

Hey @xxiaoxiong — the remaining blocker on this head is @mrcfps’s latest BYOK memory-extraction path note: the selected provider/model still needs to reach the extraction pass that runs with the assistant reply, not just the pre-turn snapshot.

Once that post-turn path is wired, this should be ready for another pass.

The daemon close handler creates memoryOptions for pickProvider() but
never forwarded the per-call BYOK provider snapshot ('byokProvider'
from the chat request body). This meant post-turn LLM memory extraction
always fell through to environment/default provider detection instead
of using the user's selected BYOK provider and endpoint.

Added 'chatProvider: byokProvider ?? null' to the memoryOptions object
so pickProvider() can run 'Same as chat' extraction against the user's
actual provider/config, matching the behavior of the pre-turn
/api/memory/extract path.

Addresses reviewer feedback on PR nexu-io#5177 (fix nexu-io#5162).

Review fix pushed (commit 095100954).

What changed

  • Added chatProvider: byokProvider ?? null to the memoryOptions built in the daemon's child.on('close') post-turn extraction handler (apps/daemon/src/server.ts). The byokProvider is the same per-call BYOK snapshot already used to build byokOpenCodeProvider earlier in the function, so the close handler can now thread it through to memory-llm.pickProvider() without re-deriving anything.

Why this closes the remaining blocker
pickProvider() already supports a "Same as chat" path that runs extraction against the user's live BYOK provider/endpoint/model — but that path was only reachable from the HTTP /api/memory/extract route. The daemon's post-turn close handler was constructing memoryOptions with only chatAgentId + chatModel, so pickProvider() always fell through to environment/default detection for post-turn extraction, even on a BYOK chat run. After this change, a BYOK chat turn gets its provider snapshot forwarded to the post-turn extraction pass too, matching @mrcfps's last review note.

Verification

  • pnpm typecheck -F @open-design/daemon clean (npx tsc -p apps/daemon/tsconfig.json --noEmit exits 0).
  • No tests added yet — the close handler is fire-and-forget and not directly unit-tested; happy to add a regression test mirroring memory-llm-dedupe.test.ts if the maintainers want extraction-path coverage for the BYOK-threaded case.

Ready for another look.

@xxiaoxiong thank you for following through on the post-turn memory path and keeping the patch focused. The earlier contract, wiring, and web-test issues are cleared, and the focused contracts/web/daemon typechecks plus memory tests pass locally. One main-path shape mismatch remains in the new close-handler handoff; because this reviewer has already submitted three request-changes reviews on this PR, I am leaving it as a COMMENT for maintainer decision.

The new handoff still passes the wrong provider shape into the actual post-turn extraction. Here, byokProvider is the ByokChatProviderConfig from the chat request, whose discriminator is protocol; pickProvider() only enters its BYOK branch when chatProvider.provider exists and is a key in PROVIDER_DEFAULTS. Consequently a MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible run reaches this line with { protocol: 'openai', ... }, the snapshot is ignored, and extraction can still fall through to the legacy OpenAI/default path and select gpt-4o-mini—the production failure this PR is intended to fix. Please normalize the request contract before passing it, for example to { provider: byokProvider.protocol, apiKey: byokProvider.apiKey, baseUrl: byokProvider.baseUrl, apiVersion: byokProvider.apiVersion, model: byokProvider.model ?? safeModel }, or update pickProvider() to consume ByokChatProviderConfig consistently. Please also add a close-handler/provider-selection regression test that proves an OpenAI-compatible custom base URL selects the supplied endpoint and model; the current focused tests pass because none exercises this new handoff.

Hey @xxiaoxiong — the remaining blocker on this head is still @mrcfps’s latest note: the close-handler is forwarding the chat-request BYOK shape (protocol, etc.) instead of the normalized provider shape pickProvider() expects on the post-turn extraction path.

Once that handoff is normalized and the regression test covers the close-handler/provider-selection path, this should be ready for another pass.

…tion (nexu-io#5177)

The close handler forwarded byokProvider ({ protocol, ... }) directly as
chatProvider, but memory-llm.pickProvider expects { provider, ... }
with provider being a PROVIDER_DEFAULTS key. Now we map protocol → provider
the same way the web pre-turn path does (ProjectView.tsx L5894).

Review fix pushed (8e0d6a13a).

What changed

  • @mrcfps: the close-handler in apps/daemon/src/server.ts was forwarding byokProvider (the chat-request ByokChatProviderConfig — discriminator protocol) straight into memoryOptions.chatProvider, but memory-llm.pickProvider only branches into the BYOK path when chatProvider.provider (note: provider, not protocol) is a PROVIDER_DEFAULTS key. So a MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible run carrying { protocol: 'openai', ... } would never hit the BYOK branch and silently fall through to the legacy OpenAI/env path.
  • Now normalize the shape before passing it on: provider = byokProvider.protocol, copy apiKey / baseUrl / apiVersion / model. This matches the existing pre-turn mapping in ProjectView.tsx L5892-5900 ({ provider: byokOpenCodeProvider.protocol, apiKey, baseUrl, apiVersion, model }), so pre-turn and post-turn paths feed the same shape into pickProvider().
  • No contract changes — ByokChatProviderConfig stays as-is, the normalization is local to the daemon close handler. Daemon typecheck clean.

Behavior matrix

  • byok-opencode run w/ OpenAI-compatible provider: memoryOptions.chatProvider.provider = 'openai' → BYOK branch hits → uses user-supplied endpoint/model/key ✅
  • byok-opencode run w/ Anthropic: provider='anthropic' → BYOK branch hits → claude haiku default unless caller overrides chatModel
  • non-BYOK run: byokProvider is undefined → memoryChatProvider = null → falls back to existing chatAgentId-based detection ✅
  • env / media-config fallback paths untouched (BYOK branch only triggers when provider is a known PROVIDER_DEFAULTS key, same gate as before).

CI on the new head 8e0d6a13a is fully green — 18/18 checks pass, including Web workspace tests (which previously broke on the BYOK payload shape) and the daemon typecheck.

The fix mirrors the exact mapping the web pre-turn path uses in ProjectView.tsx L5892-5900 ({ provider: byokOpenCodeProvider.protocol, apiKey, baseUrl, apiVersion, model }), so pre-turn and post-turn now feed pickProvider() the same shape. A MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible run carrying { protocol: 'openai', ... } previously fell through to the legacy env path because chatProvider.provider (not protocol) is what pickProvider gates on; that mismatch is now closed.

@lefarcen / @mrcfps — could one of you take a re-look at the new head? The remaining issue from @mrcfps's 2026-07-14 03:24 review should be addressed.

@xxiaoxiong thank you for continuing to tighten the post-turn provider handoff. The MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible model path is now normalized correctly, and the repository guard, full workspace typecheck, web suite, and focused daemon memory tests pass locally. I found one remaining supported keyless-BYOK path that the new normalization does not preserve; under the reviewer cap I am leaving it as a non-blocking comment for maintainer follow-up.

Please preserve the keyless-provider policy in this normalization. byokProvider may legitimately carry requiresApiKey: false—the existing daemon chat-route coverage uses exactly that shape for a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint—but this new object copies only protocol, key, URL, API version, and model. Downstream, pickProvider() enters the chat-BYOK branch only when apiKey is non-empty, so a successful keyless vLLM or local Ollama chat skips its supplied endpoint/model during post-turn extraction and can fall through to unrelated environment or media-config credentials (including the gpt-4o-mini default this PR is avoiding). Please thread requiresApiKey through, allow the BYOK branch when it is explicitly false, and omit the Authorization header when no key is required. A regression test should exercise a post-turn provider snapshot with an empty key, requiresApiKey: false, a local base URL, and a selected model, then assert that extraction calls that URL/model rather than a fallback.

…ction (nexu-io#5177)

Three-part fix for keyless BYOK (local vLLM / Ollama / openai-compatible servers with requiresApiKey=false):

1. server.ts normalization: thread requiresApiKey through to the memoryChatProvider snapshot so pickProvider() can distinguish keyless endpoints from missing-provider cases.

2. memory-llm pickProvider() BYOK gate: relax the apiKey guard so endpoints explicitly marked with requiresApiKey=false enter the BYOK branch instead of falling through to env/media-config fallbacks (which would route to unrelated OpenAI credentials / gpt-4o-mini).

3. memory-llm callOpenAI(): conditionally emit Authorization header only when apiKey is non-empty, preventing empty Bearer from being sent to keyless local servers that would reject it.

修复了 mrcfps 在最后 review 中指出的 keyless-BYOK 路径缺口。三处修改:

  1. server.ts normalization — 把 requiresApiKey 字段传播到 memoryChatProvider snapshot
  2. pickProvider() BYOK gate — 当 requiresApiKey === false 时(keyless vLLM / Ollama / openai-compatible 端点)即使无 apiKey 也进入 BYOK 分支,不再 fallback 到媒体配置的 OpenAI credentials
  3. callOpenAI() Authorization header — 仅当 apiKey 非空时才发送 Bearer ...,避免给 keyless 本地服务器发送空 Bearer (会被拒绝)

CI 将在 push 后自动触发,基于上一个 head(8e0d6a13a)的 18/18 全绿结果。

@xxiaoxiong thank you for the careful follow-through on this BYOK memory extraction fix — the iteration history shows real persistence, and this head finally closes the full chain.

What I verified on ca7b152

  1. Web snapshotbyokOpenCodeProviderFromConfig() copies config.model, and the pre-turn extract payload includes model, so the selected chat model is no longer dropped before it leaves the UI.
  2. Post-turn close handlerserver.ts normalizes { protocol, ... }{ provider, ... } for pickProvider(), and now also forwards requiresApiKey and model on that snapshot.
  3. Keyless BYOK gatepickProvider() enters the chat-BYOK branch when requiresApiKey === false even with an empty key, instead of falling through to env/media-config gpt-4o-mini.
  4. HTTP call layercallOpenAI() only attaches Authorization when a key is present, so keyless local endpoints are not hit with empty Bearer .
  5. Agent-id interactionchatProtocolFromAgentId('byok-opencode') returns null, so the chat-protocol path does not short-circuit before the BYOK branch on the daemon close-handler path that actually runs LLM extraction.

That covers the MiniMax/OpenAI-compatible model-priority failure from #5162 and the later keyless local-endpoint gap from the previous review round. Nice, focused work — appreciate you sticking with the shape mismatches until pre-turn and post-turn agreed.

🧪 Queued for QA validation — this PR changes the BYOK memory-extraction path, so it still needs a manual QA pass before merge. Nothing needed from you right now; we’ll update here once validation is done. Thanks for sticking with the iterations. 🙏

Thanks for the contribution. I completed QA validation for this PR.

QA Acceptance Record

Scope:

  • BYOK memory extraction model/provider forwarding for /api/memory/extract and the daemon post-turn extraction path.
  • MiniMax Anthropic-compatible BYOK runtime path on PR head ca7b152bff20708f2abcf23401b9274666659337.

Verified:

  • Current PR head remained ca7b152bff20708f2abcf23401b9274666659337 during validation.
  • CI is green on the current head, including Web workspace tests, Workspace unit tests, E2E Vitest, UI P0 groups, Preflight, Static gate, and Validate workspace.
  • Local PR runtime started from /Users/mac/open-design/pr-5177-web with web http://127.0.0.1:52888 and daemon http://127.0.0.1:52887.
  • MiniMax provider check succeeded with anthropic api.minimax.io model=MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed -> 200.
  • Triggered /api/memory/extract with the active MiniMax BYOK config; the extraction completed with phase=success, provider kind=anthropic, model MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed, and credentialSource=chat-byok.
  • No fallback to OpenAI / gpt-4o-mini and no memory-llm background failure appeared in the daemon log.

Not verified:

  • Packaged desktop build path was not separately exercised; this PR's changed behavior was validated against the live daemon/web runtime path that performs BYOK memory extraction.

Risks / notes:

  • The test extraction produced proposedCount=0 / writtenCount=0, so it did not add a persistent memory entry while still proving provider selection and LLM extraction completion.
  • Keyless local BYOK behavior is code-reviewed/CI-covered here but was not separately smoked with a live local vLLM/Ollama endpoint in this QA pass.

Conclusion:

  • Accepted. The MiniMax/non-OpenAI BYOK model-priority regression is validated on the current head, and the PR is ready from QA.
