MiniMax Code 3.1.0 checks a SubAgent's model against /^[^/\s]+\/[^/\s]+$/ (uQn in @minimax-ai/code's chunk-2XPMNZVR.js), and magpie wrote its models under custom_provider.magpie by catalog id, so custom_provider:magpie/bb-codex/gpt-6.1-sol was refused (AGENT_CONFIG_INVALID). - The writer keys each model by its catalog id with "~" for each slash (bb-codex~gpt-6.1-sol, provider.FlatID), when exactly one served id spells that way (provider.Flattened); else it keeps the slashed id. - The gateway takes such an id back to that one provider's model or group in validateModel and unprefixed (unflat / provider.Unflat): only an id with "~", no slash, that resolves as nothing else; two ids spelled alike are neither. Never a bare-name first hit. Key limits, middleware and usage see the catalog id, so a key held to bb-codex/* is refused other~gpt-6.1-sol on every route, count_tokens too. - A config an older magpie wrote moves on the next sync: the user's keys on a model go to its new key, defaultModel, defaultLightModel and memory.captureModel/consolidationModel follow, and the slashed key stays with enabled: false, so a session begun on it still resumes (checked with mcode exec --continue). Get still reads magpie/<catalog id>, and Disconnect still puts back the stashed default and variant. Other agents: no installed agent bundle here (cline, command-code, qwen-code, deepseek, pi, omp, codebuff, openclaw) has this regex; native agents were not checked. Verified: - go test -tags nogui ./internal/agent ./internal/gateway ./internal/provider (temp HOME), gofmt -l, go vet darwin/linux/windows. - New TestMiniMaxCodeOneSlash uses the reporter's regex and ids; TestFlatModelIDsReachTheirProvider has two providers serving gpt-6.1-sol. Breaking unflat, mcodeKey, the key carry-over, the legacy enabled:false and the ref rewrite each turned the tests red. - Real run: built magpie serve in a temp HOME on 47812, two fake upstreams; `magpie mcode magpie/other/gpt-6.1-sol` wrote other~gpt-6.1-sol; real mcode 0.6.5 exec reached other's upstream with gpt-6.1-sol (usage: other/gpt-6.1-sol); its agent loader accepted an agent.md with custom_provider:magpie/other~gpt-6.1-sol and refused the two-slash one; `magpie mcode default` put minimax/MiniMax-M2.7 back.
Subsystem design references
These pages describe current responsibilities, runtime paths, state, and contracts. Start with the subsystem relevant to your task, then follow its source links to verify the implementation you change.
| Subsystem | Reference |
|---|---|
| Built-in subscriptions moving to plugins | Provider and plugin ownership |
| Plugins that run on the gateway's requests and replies | Gateway middleware |
| Claude subscription turns across Claude Code runs | Claude subscription bridge |
| How the gateway picks a provider, key or account, and falls back | Gateway routing and fallback |
| Connecting an agent's config to the gateway, drift, disconnect, WSL twins | Agent wiring |
| Providers, keys, subscription accounts, refresh and allowance | Providers and accounts |
| Instructions, MCP servers, skills and RTK written into agents | Library |

A subsystem can span several packages or repositories. Its reference describes the behavior those parts provide together; it does not need to list every function.
Maintain a reference
Update the owning reference in the same PR when a change alters a documented responsibility, interface, state transition, runtime path, compatibility rule, or failure behavior. An internal refactor that preserves these contracts does not require a prose change.
Keep each fact in one reference and link to it from agent instructions or other pages. Link to source files and named symbols rather than copying implementation details that change frequently. Explain field meanings and constraints that signatures alone do not express.
For a new reference, include the responsibilities and boundaries, source of truth, main runtime paths, state transitions, important constraints, and existing verification commands. Include failure and compatibility behavior where relevant. Document current behavior separately from proposed changes; the proposal belongs in its issue or PR.
Describe a PR's semantic changes
For each affected subsystem, explain the observable change with its trigger and before/after behavior. Include changes to interfaces, state, compatibility, and failure behavior when relevant. Link the affected reference, implementation, and verification evidence. State when a refactor preserves the documented behavior.
For example, a change to plugin adoption should explain which migration state and account condition trigger it, which implementation handles requests before and after adoption, and which test exercises that transition.
This is an author-provided explanation that a reviewer verifies against the diff and surrounding code. It is not an automatically proven compatibility verdict.
Review a change
- Identify the affected subsystem and the actual runtime path, including plugin or built-in ownership.
- Compare the claimed before/after behavior with the base and head implementation. Trace relevant callers and state transitions beyond the changed lines.
- Check that changed contracts appear in the owning reference and that source links still resolve.
- Check that the cited tests or runtime evidence exercise the claimed behavior. Report checks that were not run.
A documentation update alone does not prove the implementation. Existing tests and runtime evidence remain necessary for behavior changes.
