The arXiv researcher run failed before agent execution because Codex could not verify the configured sub-agent models against /responses endpoint metadata.

  • Model inheritance: Remove explicit model pins from the four inline agents so they inherit the workflow’s main model.
  • Regression coverage: Verify the agents generate Codex roles without model overrides or model-resolution failures.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Moving frequently invoked per-paper agents to a roughly five-times-costlier model needs maintainer acceptance of the budget tradeoff.

What changed in this PR

Addresses the arXiv researcher’s Codex startup failure by making its four inline agents inherit the workflow’s main model.

Changes:

  • Removes explicit sub-agent model pins and refreshes the generated workflow metadata.
  • Adds regression coverage for role generation without model overrides or resolution failures.
File Description
actions/​setup/​js/​engine_subagent_models.test.cjs Tests inherited models and generated Codex roles.
.github/​workflows/​daily-arxiv-researcher.md Removes model overrides from four inline agents.
.github/​workflows/​daily-arxiv-researcher.lock.yml Updates hashes and removes explicit sub-agent model metadata.
