A model's image input is taken from models.dev and the provider's own list, and a group's from its members: only a model known to be text-only is refused an image — one whose support is unknown still gets it, and Codex, OpenCode and Pi are told which models take images. An image the user attaches for a text-only model answers 400 in the client's own format before the upstream is asked; an image earlier in the chat, or one a tool returned (Claude Code's Read, Codex's view_image, a Chat tool message), becomes a short text note, so a chat that met a picture carries on after a switch to a text-only model. Thanks @herrkaefer.
Extra HTTP headers, typed by the user, ride on every request magpie makes
to a plain key+URL provider — forwarded calls, connectivity tests, and
model-list fetches — applied after the auth headers. Presets and signed-in
agent accounts ignore them. Editable in the GUI (with a JSON value mode) and
via the CLI as header.X-Foo=bar.
OpenRouter serves a second, namespaced catalogue from /v1/models as
soon as it sees anthropic-version, so sending that header on the chat
fetch cached ids like anthropic/xiaomi/mimo-v2.6-pro-ultraspeed[1m]
that the chat endpoint then rejected. Send it only when the fetch is
for the Anthropic protocol, where the official API requires it.
A signed-in Claude Code is now offered as a provider (claude/…) like Codex
and Copilot. Anthropic classifies another agent's system prompt as
third-party traffic even over Claude Code's OAuth, so magpie drives the
real local claude binary for every generation: the caller's tools are
bridged in over MCP (magpie claude-mcp-helper), and tool results resume
the same Claude Code turn. Token counting is estimated locally so the
OAuth token takes no side path.
No model list is compiled in any more. The built-in catalog, preset
defaults and Claude Code's alias list are gone; the picker shows the
models.dev catalog (refreshed in the background when stale) layered with
each vendor's own /models answer, and signed-in accounts fetch theirs at
start-up. Whether a model rejects temperature/top_p now comes from
models.dev rather than a name prefix.
The gateway retries a Chat request on the Responses endpoint when the
model is Responses-only, and remembers that. Recent calls keep the first
256 KB of request and response bodies, viewable in the call list. The
Usage tab shows subscription allowances (Claude, Codex, Copilot) as the
vendors report them.
The product, module path (github.com/yetone/magpie), binaries, env vars
(MAGPIE_ADDR, MAGPIE_DEV_UI, MAGPIE_THEME, MAGPIE_DEBUG), config and cache
folders (~/.config/magpie, ~/.cache/magpie), bundle id (com.yetone.magpie),
gateway provider id and token, and every UI string now say magpie.
On first run magpie copies ~/.config/dial and ~/.cache/dial to the new
folders when they don't exist yet (copy, not move, so a still-running dial
keeps working; the old folders can be deleted by hand later).
The logo is a small round magpie in profile: one path for the header and
the tray, and the app tile adds the white belly and the blue-green tail.
The header mark is drawn in ink rather than the accent colour, which
fought the text in light mode.
The gateway now records every call's token counts (read from the provider's
own usage block, in both the translated and the pass-through paths) with the
calling agent taken from the client's User-Agent, into
~/.config/dial/usage.jsonl. A Usage tab sums them by period, agent and
model, with a per-hour/day/week timeline and cost at models.dev list
prices; dial usage does the same in the terminal.
Also nudges the window header 1pt up so the brand sits level with the
traffic lights, and lets ?view= open the window on a tab.
Wails v3 tray panel and window, TUI and CLI. Switches model, effort and
provider for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Goose, Cursor,
Copilot CLI and Crush with format-preserving config edits. Providers page
and registry, stored keys, live vendor model lists, profiles.
