The Claude model list was four words in machines.rs, copied into every
machine's config.ron at discovery -- so a model the CLI had gained was
unreachable from the phone, which is how Opus 5.5 came to be invisible.
Every catalog is now read from the provider itself when a picker opens:
Claude Code over its control channel (control_request{subtype:list_models},
the same channel the driver sends set_model down, since the CLI has no
listing command), Codex over app-server, llama.cpp from the GGUFs on its
machine. Echo is the one case config.ron still answers, having nothing to
ask. A row the CLI marks disabled -- a model the installed version is too
old to run -- is dropped rather than offered as a chip that fails.
The reading of each catalog lives in that driver's own module, and
provider_models is one line per driver: core code says which driver to ask
and never what an answer looks like. parse_codex_models moved out for the
same reason.
Beside it, a provider now reports the version of its program and can be
told to update it. The version comes from --version on its own machine,
read from whichever stream carried it but only from a run that exited 0 --
llama-server prints its version to stderr, and so does "command not found".
It is never compared against a latest release, which nothing here can know.
Update runs the driver's own updater, or an updateCommand the config file
names for an install those will not touch; its whole output comes back,
because every install on these machines is package-managed and the
updater's refusal is the sentence worth reading. Nothing on its stdin, so a
password prompt fails rather than hangs.
A catalog that cannot be read no longer fails the whole provider view: that
is exactly the provider somebody came there to update, and refusing the
screen took the version and the Update button away with it.
Verified against a scratch server and on the emulator: the live catalog
(1.06s, disabled row absent), all four providers' versions including the
unknown state, the confirmation and output dialogs, a configured command
returning in 87ms with its stdin closed, and Update correctly disabled for
llama.cpp.
