Migrate Model Defaults

Workflow

Be terse. Minimal prose. Ask only necessary questions.

Ask first:

• Existing model string to replace?
• New model string to use?

Then search for the old string and likely variants:

• If old is provider/model, also search bare model.
• If old is bare, ask whether to include provider-qualified forms.
• Pay special attention to .github/workflows/**; this repo often has workflow defaults in env, action with.model, and shell args such as --model, --alt-model, and --candidate-label.

Ignore expected noise up front unless it controls default behavior:

• changelog text
• tests and fixtures
• QA mock fixtures and mock catalogs
• provider catalogs and model availability lists
• model capability, compatibility, or alias handling
• generated schema examples
• plain docs examples

Keep only default-like references:

• configured defaults or fallback defaults
• workflow/action defaults
• CI, QA, release, E2E, or smoke default models
• i18n/docs generation defaults
• hardcoded runtime feature defaults

Group candidates semantically, then present a concise checklist with repo-root-relative file refs and one short reason each. Do not edit until the user selects items.

When editing:

• Update only selected items.
• Preserve whether each site expects a bare model id or provider-qualified ref.
• If centralizing repeated workflow defaults, prefer repository variables such as OPENCLAW_CI_OPENAI_MODEL, OPENCLAW_CI_OPENAI_MODEL_BARE, and an explicit alt-model variable when needed.
• If centralizing source defaults, prefer an existing shared defaults module before adding a new one.
• Ask if string shape or ownership is unclear.

Validation:

• Run the repo-required first pass before searching when applicable.
• For workflow edits, run actionlint if available or via go run github.com/rhysd/actionlint/cmd/actionlint@latest \x3Cfiles>.
• Run the repo’s changed gate with the correct base. If the default base points at a stale fork, rerun against the real upstream base and report that.
• Scan the touched surface for remaining old-model literals.
