`main` has been red since b342c1a361 on the vitest and integration gates:
✖ tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts > auto/<family>
✖ chat pipeline applies Codex OAuth fingerprint and priority tier inside combos
Both call resetStorage() from beforeEach, which does an fs.rmSync(TEST_DATA_DIR,
{recursive: true, force: true}) with no retry, and intermittently loses the race
with a not-yet-released SQLite handle (ENOTEMPTY).
release/v3.8.51 fixed this in #11968 with a mechanical codemod adding
maxRetries/retryDelay to every recursive rm/rmSync/rmdirSync under tests/, but
that PR landed only on the release branch. Because main only receives work at
the release squash, it stayed broken for the whole cycle — and repo-wide gates
then turn every open PR into main red on checks unrelated to their diff.
This is the --base main twin: re-runs the same codemod that already shipped on
the release branch (scripts/ad-hoc/codemod-rm-maxretries.mjs), so the two
branches converge on identical test-teardown semantics. Test-only; no product
logic is touched.
The remaining three failures reported on #12133 (unit full suite exceeding its
4800s ceiling, package-artifact exceeding 1200s, and the boot-smoke that is
skipped as a consequence) are runner-contention timeouts, not code defects —
validate-release-green.mjs runs those heavy gates concurrently on one shared
hosted runner. There is no fix to port for those.
Landed with the design call resolved per the owner's pick — **option 1**: the synced store is now endpoint-agnostic (persistDiscoveredModels and managedModelImport no longer drop non-chat models at write time), and chat selectability moved to read time (auto-pool expansion in autoStrategy applies filterChatSelectableModels; the models-route projection already had its chatOnly filter). Your discovery test now passes end-to-end (3/3): /api/show capabilities persist per connection and image/embedding requests route through the advertising host.
Reconciliation notes: conflicted areas merged onto the current tip (adobe discovery import, requestedModel preflight signature, resolvedProvider fast-path coexists with the synced-route override — explicit resolution wins); carried base-red drains (#10055 memoization, #11071 test variants) dropped as already-landed; the managed-model-import exclusion test was propagated to the new contract (image/video models persist; the read filter still hides them from chat pickers — pinned by a new assertion). Full battery: 205/206 focused (the one red is a confirmed periodic-timer timing flake on the loaded devbox — 20/20 isolated), autoCombo vitest 30/30, combo suites 46/46, gates + typecheck clean.
Thank you @yourspraveen — the capability probe + routing design was right; it just needed the store contract opened up. Fixes#11087.
