### OpenAI Default
Unrecognized GPT families and endpoints identified as OpenAI use the latest approved GPT prompt bundle. The single promotion point is the `LatestOpenAIPromptResolver` import in `openai/latestOpenAIPrompt.ts`, currently GPT-5.6. It reuses the entire resolver, including reminders, identity, safety, tool-reference hints, and user-query tag defaults, without copying prompt text.
Unrecognized GPT families and endpoints identified as OpenAI use the latest approved GPT prompt bundle. The single promotion point is the `LatestOpenAIPromptResolver` import in `openai/latestOpenAIPrompt.ts`, currently GPT-6 Astra. It reuses the entire resolver, including reminders, identity, safety, tool-reference hints, and user-query tag defaults, without copying prompt text.
- Do not add a prompt file just because a new OpenAI model ships. Add a dedicated resolver only when the model needs different instructions.
- Existing specialized GPT/Codex resolvers and the explicitly retained legacy families in `defaultOpenAIPrompt.tsx` take precedence. Version matchers must distinguish `gpt-5.1` and its hyphenated variants from `gpt-5.10`.
- OpenAI provider metadata can identify opaque preview names; an OpenAI-compatible API alone does not establish OpenAI model identity. Explicit family routing takes precedence over the provider fallback.
- Prompt inheritance must not alias the endpoint family or enable GPT-5.6-specific API/tool capabilities. Rendering still respects the actual endpoint's capabilities and available tools.
- Prompt inheritance must not alias the endpoint family or enable GPT-6-specific API/tool capabilities. Rendering still respects the actual endpoint's capabilities and available tools.
- Hidden model I is explicitly matched by the GPT-6 resolver and included alongside GPT-6 capability and instruction gates, independently of the provider fallback. Its model ID and family remain unchanged.
- To promote a new default, update the resolver import in `latestOpenAIPrompt.ts` and the expected default in `test/openAIPrompts.spec.ts`. Run its routing/rendering tests and the existing agent prompt snapshots. Keep older specialized resolvers unchanged.
