The Kimi Code subscription link had drifted across the 5 README
translations: the English README pointed to https://www.kimi.com/kimiplus/sale
at $0.99, while the Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese
versions pointed to https://www.kimi.com/membership/pricing with a
referral tracking ID, also at $0.99 with an "only this month" qualifier.
Normalized all 5 to the canonical https://www.kimi.com/code at $19,
preserving each language's localized "Kimi Code Subscription" wording.

Updates test expectations across agent, cli, shared, plugin, and tools tests
to match gpt-5.5 as the new default for oracle, hephaestus, and deep agents.
Includes snapshot updates for model-fallback tests.

Adds missing capability entry for gpt-5.5 to supplemental-entries.ts.
This model was promoted as default for oracle, hephaestus, and deep agents,
but the capability snapshot was missing, causing resolution failures.

Now that oracle, hephaestus, and the deep category ship gpt-5.5-native
prompts and default to gpt-5.5 in their fallback chains, user configs
that pin openai/gpt-5.4 should follow the same upgrade on next load.
The existing migration pipeline (migrateModelVersions) picks this up
automatically from MODEL_VERSION_MAP, records the upgrade in the
sidecar file to stay idempotent, and leaves gpt-5.4-mini / -mini-fast
/ -nano alone since those cost-tier variants are intentional picks
and do not have direct gpt-5.5 counterparts yet.
Now that each of these agents ships a native gpt-5.5 prompt variant,
their default OpenAI model is bumped from gpt-5.4 to gpt-5.5. The
gpt-5.4 entries are removed from the same-provider position in each
fallback chain (a single provider doesn't need both version entries -
if gpt-5.5 isn't available there, cross-provider fallback kicks in).
- oracle.fallbackChain: gpt-5.5 high (openai) -> gemini-3.1-pro -> claude -> glm
- hephaestus.fallbackChain: gpt-5.5 medium (openai only, requiresProvider)
- deep category.fallbackChain: gpt-5.5 medium -> claude -> gemini
- deep category.config: openai/gpt-5.5 medium
No changes to sisyphus, sisyphus-junior, ultrabrain, momus, or other
agents that still point at gpt-5.4; those stay on the shared regex-
based routing in the gpt-5-4 prompt family.
Inline ORACLE_GPT_5_5_PROMPT constant added to oracle.ts (Oracle is
a single-file agent, no sub-directory variant split).
Distinctive elements over ORACLE_GPT_PROMPT:
- Confidence signaling (high/medium/low) added as a required field
alongside the existing effort estimate (borrowed from Codex's
review_prompt.md)
- Codex-style section headers (# General, ## Decision framework,
## Response structure, etc.) replacing the XML-tagged structure
- Prose-first output more explicitly encouraged
- Three-tier response structure (Essential / Expanded / Edge cases)
preserved with the same hard numerical limits
- Follow-up session behavior explicitly documented
createOracleAgent() branches on isGpt5_5Model first, then isGptModel,
falling back to the thinking-enabled claude default.
The base prompt is category-agnostic; the actual category context (deep,
quick, ultrabrain, writing) layers on top at runtime via the
promptAppend parameter resolved by resolvePromptAppend.
Distinctive elements:
- Closing '# Category context' section explicitly telling the agent
to read the appended block as overriding defaults on conflict
- Orchestrator-facing final-answer structure (What changed / Key
decisions / Verification / Observations / Blockers) instead of a
user-facing conversational close
- Sparse commentary cadence; the orchestrator synthesizes progress
for the user, so mid-task narration is mostly noise
getSisyphusJuniorPromptSource() checks gpt-5-5 before the gpt-5.4 /
gpt-5.3-codex path so the new prompt takes precedence for gpt-5.5
deployments.
Ground-up rewrite that follows the same Codex-style section structure
as the new gpt-5-5 sisyphus prompt, tuned for Hephaestus's autonomous
deep-worker role.
Distinctive elements:
- 'Autonomy and Persistence' section with named 'Forbidden stops' list
(replaces gpt-5-4's FORBIDDEN/CORRECT table rhetoric)
- 'Three-attempt failure protocol' codified
- 'Exploration-first approach' with explicit 5-15 minute expectation
- 'Dig deeper' subsection for root-cause bias
- 'Ambition vs precision' distinction for greenfield vs existing
codebase work
getHephaestusPromptSource() now checks gpt-5-5 before gpt-5-4; the
regex-based gpt-5-4 path stays as the catch-all for other native
versions.
Ground-up rewrite styled after OpenAI Codex's gpt-5.4 prompt
architecture: '# General' -> '## Autonomy and Persistence' -> '## Task
execution' -> '## Validating your work' -> '# Working with the user' ->
'# Tool Guidelines' section hierarchy.
Key differences from the gpt-5-4 variant:
- Prose-first output, bullets only when content is list-shaped
- Contract frames replace threat frames (GPT-5.5 follows instructions
well; NEVER/FORBIDDEN rhetoric adds entropy without compliance gain)
- Explicit opener blacklist for 'Done -', 'Got it', 'Great question'
- '{{ personality }}' slot reserved for future persona substitution
- '{{ taskSystemGuide }}' slot switches todo/task tools per harness cfg
- Codex-compatible clickable file reference format
Sisyphus factory now checks isGpt5_5Model before isGptNativeSisyphusModel,
so gpt-5.5 models route to the new prompt while gpt-5.4, gpt-5.6+, and
other matches stay on the existing gpt-5-4 prompt.
The GPT_NATIVE_SISYPHUS_RE regex already matches gpt-5.5 (and future
5.6+), which is correct for shared behavior. However, gpt-5.5 now has
its own prompt family separate from gpt-5.4, so we need a narrower
check to route exclusively to the gpt-5-5 variants before falling
through to the regex-matched gpt-5-4 path.
The regex stays as the catch-all for future versions; isGpt5_5Model
is the precise-match guard for the current release.
Ground-up rewrites of sisyphus, hephaestus, oracle, and deep-category
prompts styled after OpenAI Codex's gpt-5.4 prompt architecture. Drafts
include shared sisyphus-junior base plus a deep category-context append
that layers on top of it.
Design principles captured in README: Codex-style section structure,
single {{ personality }} slot, prose-first output, contract frames over
threat frames, explicit opener blacklist, and "why, not just what"
justification for every rule.
Replace isGpt5_4Model + isGpt5_5Model + OR-composed isGptNativeSisyphusModel
with a single regex matching GPT-5.x where x >= 4. Automatically covers
future versions (5.6, 5.7, 5.10+) without code changes.
Constraint: Must continue to reject gpt-5.3-codex and gpt-5.x where x < 4
Rejected: Per-version functions | not scalable, each new version adds a function + OR clause
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
ast_grep_search was mentioned exactly once in the librarian prompt
(bundled as 'grep/ast_grep_search for function/class') with no syntax
guidance. When the librarian cloned a repo and tried to match code
shape, it fell into the same regex-in-AST trap as the main agent.
Two targeted edits, no rewrite of the surrounding request-classification
flow:
- Phase 1 TYPE B 'Find the implementation' now separates ast_grep_search
(code shape) from grep (text/literals) and reminds the LLM that AST
patterns use $VAR and $$$ and are not regex.
- TOOL REFERENCE adds a dedicated ast_grep_search row with valid
examples and the explicit regex anti-pattern list, alongside tightened
guidance for grep_app and grep so the LLM picks the right tool for
cross-repo vs single-repo, text vs shape.
The previous Tool Strategy was a neutral 5-bullet list that treated
ast_grep_search and grep as equals. LLMs read 'structural patterns
(function shapes, class structures)' and reach for ast_grep_search
first, then call it with regex ('foo|bar', '.*', '\\w') and silently
get zero results.
Rewrite so the default is clear - grep first, ast_grep_search only for
true AST shape matching - and enumerate the regex anti-patterns with
their corrective switches. Add an explicit rule: if ast_grep_search
returns zero matches and the printed hint says the pattern is regex-
shaped, switch to grep instead of retrying with another regex variant.
Preserves the existing absolute-path requirement, <results> block
format, and read-only / no-emoji constraints.
The previous description (41 words) told the LLM to write 'complete AST
nodes' but did not explain that regex syntax is the #1 failure mode. It
also shipped a bug: the Python example 'def $FUNC($$$):' had a trailing
colon that the hint system actively flags as wrong.
Extract descriptions into tool-descriptions.ts and rewrite:
- Open with 'This is NOT regex' so the constraint is unmissable
- List the four regex patterns that do not work (|, .*, \\w, [a-z])
with the corrective action for each
- Tell the LLM to switch to grep when the pattern is text-shaped
- Fix the Python example (no trailing colon) and add Go and Rust rows
since the failing reports came from Go codebases
- Shorten the pattern-param description with the same anti-regex list
Also harden the LSP reference for the new test files using the
bun-types triple-slash directive already used elsewhere.
LLMs frequently call ast_grep_search with regex-style patterns like
'func.*build|BuildMode|projectReferences' instead of AST patterns. The
search silently returns zero matches with no useful feedback, so the
model retries with a different regex-shaped pattern and loops.
Extract hint generation into pattern-hints.ts and add detectors for the
four dominant misuse modes:
- regex escapes (\\w, \\d, \\s, \\b)
- character-class ranges ([a-z], [0-9])
- regex wildcards (.* .+) with no meta-vars
- pure alternation (foo|bar|baz with no structural syntax)
Heuristics are designed to be safe on valid AST patterns: bitwise OR
'$A | $B' and Rust closures '|x| x + 1' are not flagged. Language-
specific shape hints (trailing-colon Python, body-less JS/TS/Go/Rust
functions) are preserved and extended to Go and Rust.
OPENAI_ONLY_AGENT_OVERRIDES was rewriting explore and librarian back to
gpt-5.4 medium for OpenAI-only installs. Match the runtime primary so the
install default stays on gpt-5.4-mini-fast.
Document the new primary chain and install-time fallback behavior for explorer and librarian.\nKeep the user-facing guidance aligned with the runtime and CLI model selection.
