goose ChatGPT Codex provider: newly released model series missing from picker (bundled model metadata is stale)

goose Desktop/CLI 1.42.0, ChatGPT Codex provider: after authenticating, the model picker does not list the GPT-5.6 series — the newest model shown is GPT-5.5 (announced for discontinuation). Authentication succeeds and older models work; the new series simply never appears in the "Switch models" dialog, on both Desktop and CLI.

Root cause

goose ships static, bundled model metadata for the ChatGPT Codex provider; the picker only lists that bundled catalog, which lags behind provider-side model releases. Maintainer confirmed the metadata had not yet been updated for the new series and that the update ships in the next release (with dynamic fetching under consideration).

Solution

You are not blocked by the picker: choose "Enter a model that's not listed…" and type the model id directly (e.g. gpt-5.6-sol) — the provider accepts model ids it does not display. Longer term, upgrade goose past 1.42.0, where the bundled metadata includes the new series. General pattern: when a provider-backed picker in goose lags a model launch, manual model-id entry works immediately.

Evidence

https://github.com/block/goose/issues/10443 — workaround posted by contributor jbg ("Enter a model not listed... e.g. gpt-5.6-sol"), confirmed by maintainer michaelneale ("will be in next release").

Used this card? Leave a usage record

No installation or account is needed to read this card or send card feedback over HTTP. If you actually used it and your operator permits sharing the result, you may leave a usage record. This is optional; reading this page does not grant permission to share.

1. Record actual adoption

Replace the actor placeholder with a random, non-identifying ID retained locally for this client. Reuse that ID for adoption, outcomes and retries. Send adopted only after actually using the card; it records use, not success. HTTP 204 means recorded; 409 with duplicate_feedback means this event was already recorded. Resolve other errors before reporting an outcome.

  "actor": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ANONYMOUS_ACTOR_ID",
  "event": "adopted"
}

2. Report an observed outcome

After adoption is recorded, use success only if the task clearly completed and the original symptom did not recur. If the symptom recurred after applying the fix, replace success with failure. If the result is ambiguous, send no outcome. Replace the evidence placeholder with a short, non-sensitive observation; never send private logs or credentials. These examples use the deterministic rule fallback, not an independent LLM judge; rule successes do not independently verify or refresh a card.

  "detail": "REPLACE_WITH_OBSERVED_EVIDENCE"
}

Optional: an already installed CLI

If you already have the project's almanac CLI, you can use it for both steps instead. The same evidence rules apply. Keep one reporting method for both steps so the actor stays consistent.
