codex: a model a custom provider serves takes the reasoning levels models.dev gives it from the others serving it, so the Codex app offers an effort for it (a Volcengine endpoint's glm-5.3-flash showed 中 with nothing to pick, and magpie's effort control a "none" Codex never used) — levels were only taken from models.dev's entry for the vendor itself, and a vendor it doesn't list (a custom provider, a proxy) had none, so Codex's catalog carried no supported_reasoning_levels; a model models.dev doesn't list for its vendor now takes, by bare id as the context window is found, the levels most of the providers giving any give it (glm-5.3-flash: low, high, max, default high), one no one gives levels for keeps none. Codex's effort is settled on one the model takes when a model is picked and when the catalog is synced, magpie shows the catalog's default where none is set, and the gateway sends a Chat vendor reasoning_effort at the model's nearest level (Codex's medium goes to glm-5.3-flash as high), as asked where the model's are not known

profiles: a saved profile keeps the Library's setup too, and switching to it switches that as well (#29) — which agents get each MCP server and skill, and the instructions (the shared text, the agents it is written to, what each gets besides), so moving from one profile to another left the tools and the instructions as they were and only the models followed. A profile keeps them under "library" beside its agent.field keys; the servers and skills themselves stay in the library, a profile only names them. Applying one sets the models as before, then gives each server and skill to the agents it names and puts the instructions back, written into the agents as any Library change is, their files and the library's own instructions kept aside first; one removed from the library since is skipped and said so, one added since keeps its agents (the profile knows nothing of it, and switching it off would lose it for good). A profile saved before, or while the library was empty, carries none and leaves the library as it is. magpie profiles, the TUI and the panel's chips say what a profile gives out (+ library: 2 servers, 1 skill, instructions)

agents: a model through magpie tells Pi, Crush, omp and Codex how much it holds, and a provider added, edited or removed reaches the model lists agents keep in files of their own — the catalog carried no context window, so Pi took every model through magpie for a 128K one (a CLIProxyAPI's gpt-5.5 holds 922K) and Crush for a 200K one; each model now carries models.dev's input limit, else its context, looked up by bare id as most of the providers serving it give it (a proxy's "openai/gpt-5.4", "gpt-5.4(high)", "glm-4.6:free" find it too; a group holds the least of its members'). And those lists were written only when a model was picked: Codex's magpie-models.json, Pi's models.json, OpenCode's, Crush's, Command Code's, omp's and Hermes' provider blocks and dsh's llm-deepseek entry kept the catalog as it was then, so a provider added later never showed. Saving a provider, a vendor's list fetched anew or models.dev synced now rewrites each one magpie wrote, where it differs, and the app does once at start-up; a Codex signed in to ChatGPT, which asks the gateway, kept its cached list under the backend's ETag, which a change of magpie's never changed — the ETag (and a reply's X-Models-Etag) now carries a tag of magpie's models, and a cache from before a change is aged so the next Codex asks again

library: MCP servers, skills and instructions are kept once in magpie and given to any agent from one place, with a market to find and add them (#29). Each agent reads MCP servers and skills from files of its own and in a format of its own, so one server was set up again in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Goose, Cursor, Copilot CLI and Crush. The Library view keeps each once: a server is added (stdio, http or sse, its env and headers) and switched on per agent with its icon, and magpie writes it into each agent's config in that agent's format, leaving what the agent has of its own as it is; a server or skill an agent already has is shown, to bring into the library. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md, kept in the library from GitHub (owner/repo, or a link to a folder in one; updated from it later) or linked from a folder on this machine, and linked into each agent's skills folder. The instructions every agent reads (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md…) can be kept as one too. The market offers checked MCP servers first, then the official MCP Registry's, filled in from what the registry says each needs (keys asked for in a form, never guessed), and skills.sh's most installed skills with what each says it is for; each shows its real icon (the vendor's own, else its GitHub owner's), fetched through magpie only for the icons the market or the library gave out, and an added server or skill keeps its icon in the library. What magpie changes in an agent's files is backed up first

agents: the Agents list, in the window and the tray panel, is in the order you put it in and shows only the agents you want — an agent's logo is its handle: drag it to move the row, click it (or right-click the row) for Move up, Move down and Hide, or Alt+↑/↓ from the keyboard; a hidden agent folds away at the bottom under "N hidden" (in the fold with the unused ones, "Show N more"), and Show brings it back, kept in view even while nothing is set on it. The order and who is hidden live in magpie's settings.json (agentOrder, agentsHidden, agentsShown), never in an agent's files; an agent installed later follows the ordered ones in magpie's own order. magpie ls and the TUI keep the order too and list a hidden agent last, dimmed and marked, rather than dropping it, so nothing goes missing from a listing; magpie agents lists them all as before

windows: the desktop app no longer opens a console window for every command it runs (#54) — it is linked as a GUI program and has no console, so each console CLI it started (devin auth status and models list, devin acp for every Devin turn, claude, codex, cursor-agent and grok probes and runs, grok login) was given a new console by Windows, and a Windows Terminal window with it, some every few seconds while the app sat idle. Every command magpie runs is now made through internal/proc, which starts it with CREATE_NO_WINDOW when magpie has no console of its own: the child gets a console without a window, and its output, which magpie always pipes back, arrives as before. A magpie run in a terminal (magpie serve, the TUI, the desktop app started from one with a command) has one, and its children share it as they did, so Ctrl+C there still reaches them. The relaunch after an update keeps its DETACHED_PROCESS, added to rather than replacing the flags it was made with, and a test fails on any command made with os/exec directly, so a new one can't bring the windows back
