Summary

  • Raise buzz-acp models MODELS_TIMEOUT from 10s → 45s so Windows Codex ACP cold starts (~15–25s) can finish instead of returning empty models.
  • Progressive loading: control keeps short Loading models…; after 10s, under-field note only (never in the pill — avoids double/truncated copy).
  • Clear timeout / PATH discovery errors with Retry (retryable + shared ModelDiscoveryStatusLine).
  • Builds on fix(desktop): surface model discovery failures in agent config UI #2246 (status bypass, empty non-cache); empty catalogs remain uncached and are retryable.

Fixes #2261.

Context

Codex ACP boots the Codex App Server on each models probe. Product assumed ~2–5s; Windows cold path often exceeds the old 10s budget. Related install/PATH work remains separate (#2238).

Test plan

  • On Windows with Codex installed: open onboarding defaults / agent model field — pill shows short loading only; after ~10s long note appears under field only.
  • With slow/unavailable adapter: timeout message + Retry re-runs discovery.
  • Empty catalog: warning + Retry; response still not cached (fix(desktop): surface model discovery failures in agent config UI #2246).
  • Credential-missing paths remain non-retryable (enter key, not Retry).
  • Unit: personaModelDiscoveryStatus, usePersonaModelDiscovery, agentConfigFieldsContract, agentConfigControls tests.
  • Smoke: Claude discovery still works; happy path onboarding stays quiet when not loading/error.

Notes

Raise buzz-acp models probe timeout from 10s to 45s so Windows Codex cold
starts can finish. Surface progressive under-field copy after 10s, clear
timeout/PATH errors with Retry, and keep the model control on a short
loading label so long status text is never truncated in the pill.

Builds on block#2246 (status bypass + empty non-cache). Fixes block#2261.

Force edit/create model controls onto the short loading sentinel while probing so the closed trigger is not stuck on a stale default with no cue. Use MODEL_DISCOVERY_LOADING_SHORT in shared modelDropdownOptions. Mark Runtime-not-available discovery status non-retryable so Retry is not a no-op without discoverAgentModels.
