magpie://import now takes icon=<https picture>: the vendor's logo, PNG,
JPEG, GIF, WebP, ICO or SVG. It is fetched once, when the user opens the
confirm dialog — never at parse time — into magpie's icons folder, and
falls back to the catalog's logo or a plain mark when the fetch fails.
An explicit icon= wins over whatever catalog or preset gave.
The fetch is guarded on the way out: https only, at most 1 MB, the type
checked, and the host is resolved at connect time with loopback, private,
link-local and reserved addresses refused, so a name that points back at
the user's own machine (or a DNS-rebinding trick) never connects. The
page and the dialog never load a remote picture themselves.
IconURL is a carrier between parsing and that fetch only; Save drops it,
so it never reaches providers.json.
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.
Logging out of Claude Code can leave its credentials behind; claude auth status
now decides. Removing a Claude, Codex or Copilot account hides it from magpie
(the agent stays signed in); Add it back, or magpie provider add <id>, restores it.
Through magpie, each tier follows the main model until it is given one of
its own (ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_*_MODEL; haiku also sets ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL).
The GUI shows them under one tiers menu; the CLI takes magpie claude haiku <model>.
usemagpie.ai/docs/import explains import links, with a link builder and
buttons to copy; usemagpie.ai/import#… turns the fragment into a
magpie:// link and offers the download. install.sh registers the scheme
on Linux.
A vendor or relay can hand out a ready-made provider as a link. The app
registers the magpie scheme (Info.plist on macOS, HKCU on Windows, a
.desktop handler on Linux), a second launch hands the link to the running
one, and the window shows what the link would add, with the hosts the
prompts and key would go to, before anything is saved. `magpie import`
does the same in a terminal.
OpenCode's gateway turns away requests that do not name their conversation
in x-opencode-session ('Request is missing x-opencode-session and cannot be
routed efficiently'), and magpie never sent it. Requests to opencode.ai now
carry the agent's own session id (OpenCode's x-session-affinity, Pi's,
Codex's session_id, Claude Code's) or, when the agent sends none, an id
derived from the conversation's first user message, stable across turns;
the provider test sends one too. OpenCode's docs ask exactly this of
third-party clients, along with their own User-Agent, which magpie already
sends.
Pi shows xhigh and max only for models whose thinkingLevelMap names them,
and magpie wrote just "reasoning", so a model whose top level is max (GLM-5.3,
DeepSeek) stopped at high and a max setting was sent as high (#5). Checked on
the wire: --thinking max sent reasoning_effort high before, max after. Picking
the model or thinking level in magpie again rewrites Pi's models.json.
Pi sends the developer role to reasoning models; relayed unchanged, DeepSeek
rejected every request (422 unknown variant `developer`), so Pi got no reply
at any thinking level above off (#1). Every backend, OpenAI included, accepts
system.
The download button follows the visitor's OS, a platform list sits under
the final call to action, /download/{windows,linux}[-arm64] redirect to
the builds, and install.sh installs the Linux desktop app, with a menu
entry, when WebKitGTK 4.1 is present.
The Windows app cross-compiles (WebView2, no cgo) as a GUI program with an
icon, version info and a DPI-aware manifest; run from a terminal with a
command it borrows the console. The Linux app links GTK 3 and WebKitGTK
4.1. Off the Mac the app updates its own binary from its own build:
downloaded in the background, swapped in on restart or quit, and the
relaunched process waits for the old one before taking the gateway. The
window leaves room for traffic lights only on a Mac.
The screenshots still showed the row's + and an older control column. New
shots, dark and light, off a throwaway demo config (the same DeepSeek/Kimi/
GLM/Qwen/MiniMax/OpenRouter/Anthropic/Gemini set). The panel is a hair taller
now, so its height goes 470 -> 476.
The lined-up columns only suit the wide window: in the narrow menu bar
panel a solo control spanning both columns is what keeps a long model id
readable, so scope the fill to body.window and leave the panel as it was.
The controls hugged their text and right-aligned, so a model pill sat in
a different place on every row and the chevrons never lined up. They now
fill a fixed two-column grid — model (or large model) on the left, the
second setting on the right — so every chip and chevron lines up down the
list. A single control keeps the left column, so the model always sits in
the same place.
