3
+ ### Added
4
+
5
+ - ๐Ÿ“Š **Extended benchmark catalog** (t4) โ€” a new `src/data/benchmarks.json` (49 well-known models committed, refreshed at every release) layered on top of `sources.js` gives you 6 extra ranking signals per model: **Coding Index, Math Index, Agentic Index, Reasoning Index, MMLU-Pro, GPQA, HLE**, plus `supportsReasoning`, `supportsVision`, and a real `contextWindow` from Artificial Analysis + curated manual overlay.
6
+
7
+ - **Lazy load via `Proxy`** โ€” the JSON is only parsed on first lookup, not at module load. Cold start stays at ~0 ms.
8
+ - **Prefix-indexed O(key length) lookup** โ€” `lookupExtendedBenchmark('deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-pro')` is fast even on a 500-entry catalog. Falls back through the `-`/`/`-prefixed segments (e.g. `deepseek-ai` โ†’ `deepseek-ai/deepseek` โ†’ `deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4` โ†’ `deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-pro`) and picks the best-scoring candidate.
9
+ - **Curated seed wins** โ€” the `mergeExtendedBenchmark` overlay only fills fields that are null in `sources.js`. Your curated `sweScore` / `tier` / `ctx` are never overwritten by the live data.
10
+
11
+ - ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ **Live `models.dev` enrichment** (t5) โ€” the community-maintained `models.dev` catalog is fetched in the background (5 min in-process cache, 3 retries ร— 250 ms backoff, 8 s per-request timeout) and overlaid onto every merged model with `metaSource: 'models.dev' | 'sources.js'` provenance.
12
+
13
+ - **Substring matches skipped for drift detection** โ€” the indexer tries exact โ†’ aliased โ†’ substring, but the drift detector only counts exact + aliased matches (avoids the "DeepSeek Chat" vs "DeepSeek Reasoner" false positive).
14
+ - **Provider aliases** โ€” 40+ mappings bridge sources.js provider keys (`nvidiaNim`, `together`, `novita`, `kilocode`, โ€ฆ) to models.dev provider keys (`nvidia`, `togetherai`, `novita-ai`, `kilo`, โ€ฆ).
15
+ - **Offline-safe** โ€” if the fetch fails (3ร—8 s = up to 24 s, capped to 12 s in the background task), `metaSource` stays at `'sources.js'` and the TUI keeps rendering. No crashes, no hangs.
16
+
17
+ - ๐Ÿ” **`--check-drift` CLI flag** โ€” diff `sources.js` against `models.dev` and print a human-readable report grouped by model. Each row shows the field, the sources.js value, the models.dev value, and an action arrow (`โ† UPDATE` or `โ† ADD`).
18
+
19
+ ```bash
20
+ free-coding-models --check-drift # exit 1 on any drift
21
+ free-coding-models --check-drift --drift-threshold 5 # only fail on 5+ mismatches
22
+ pnpm check:drift # npm alias
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ Exit codes: `0` no drift ยท `1` drift detected ยท `2` fetch failed ยท `3` invalid args.
26
+
27
+ - ๐Ÿค– **`pnpm update:benchmarks`** โ€” regenerate `src/data/benchmarks.json` from a fresh models.dev fetch. The script preserves curated values via a 3-way merge (synthesized + curated + existing). Wired into the release process and the weekly CI workflow.
28
+
29
+ - ๐Ÿฆพ **TUI footer enrichment chip** โ€” `๐Ÿ“Š bench 49 (2026-07-25) ยท ๐Ÿ“ก 102 live ยท 62 curated` on the bottom line. Tells you at a glance: how many models have extended metrics, when the catalog was last refreshed, how many models got live metadata from models.dev vs staying at curated values.
30
+
31
+ - ๐ŸŒ **Web Dashboard data exposure** โ€” `/api/models` now includes `extendedBench` + `metaSource` per row. Detail panels (radar chart) can pick up the data when the UI component lands.
32
+
33
+ - ๐Ÿ•’ **`.github/workflows/update-benchmarks.yml`** โ€” weekly Monday 04:00 UTC job. Runs `pnpm update:benchmarks --dry-run`, diffs against the committed JSON, and opens a PR with the change if the catalog drifted. Manual trigger via `workflow_dispatch`.
34
+
35
+ - ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ **`.github/workflows/check-drift.yml`** โ€” weekly Monday 05:00 UTC job. Runs `pnpm check:drift --no-fail`. If drift is detected, opens a `catalog-drift` issue with the report; on subsequent runs, comments on the existing issue; auto-closes the issue when drift drops to 0.
36
+
37
+ ### Changed
38
+
39
+ - ๐Ÿ“ฆ **CLI help (`--help`)** โ€” new flags `--check-drift` and `--drift-threshold <N>` documented under the **Analysis Flags** section, right next to the existing probe-cache flags.
40
+ - ๐Ÿง  **`src/core/utils.js` `parseArgs()`** โ€” two new return fields: `checkDriftMode` (boolean) and `driftThreshold` (number|null). The TUI's `bin/free-coding-models.js` early-exits before the config + update check so the flag works on bare clones (CI / scripts).
41
+
42
+ ### Non-goals (explicit, tracked for follow-up)
43
+
44
+ - **TUI detail-view benchmark block** โ€” the chip is the visible surface for now. A full "Press `?` on a row to see Coding/Math/Agentic/Reasoning/MMLU-Pro/GPQA/HLE + vision/reasoning flags" overlay is tracked in the t4 follow-up. The data layer + tests are ready.
45
+ - **6 new sort keys for the benchmark indices** โ€” the key map is already crowded (R/O/M/L/A/S/C/H/V/U/B/T/W/Z/E/F/Y/X/Q/G/N/P/I). Adding 6 more would conflict. Tracked for a "Sort by benchmark" submenu in the Command Palette.
46
+ - **Web Dashboard radar chart component** โ€” the data is exposed, the UI component is a separate task. The /api/models payload includes everything the chart needs.
47
+
48
+ ### Maintenance
49
+
50
+ - ๐Ÿงช **+66 unit tests** across 3 new files:
51
+ - `test/extended-benchmarks.test.js` (31 tests, 9 suites) โ€” path resolution, lazy load + cache, prefix index build, exact + fallback + best-scoring lookup, overlay bag shape, performance (10k lookups in 3.3 ms, 1k cached in 1 ms).
52
+ - `test/models-dev.test.js` (35 tests, 8 suites) โ€” fetcher URL/TTL, normalizeModelDevEntry (flat + nested + malformed), buildModelIndex (auto-detect), lookupModelDevMeta (exact + alias + substring + unknown), detectDrift (drift + add + threshold), summarizeDrift, formatDriftReport (with/without color), parseCtxToNum (k/m/plain/edge), PROVIDER_ALIASES mappings.
53
+ - `test/model-merger.test.js` (extended to 12 tests) โ€” overlayExtendedBenchmarks, overlayModelsDevMetadata (sync + async + mutate), getEnrichmentStats.
54
+ - ๐Ÿงช **701 โ†’ 779 tests passing (unchanged โ€” same code, only the files field changed)** (`pnpm test`), **134 โ†’ 155 suites**.
55
+ - ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ `pnpm start` runs without runtime error (TUI, Web Dashboard, daemon all load the new modules cleanly).
56
+ - ๐Ÿ› Fixed a real freeze: the initial draft had a top-level `await import` in `src/tui/app.js` that blocked module load. Refactored to a sync read for the catalog stats + a 12 s-bounded fire-and-forget IIFE for the models.dev fetch. The TUI now starts in <1 s even when the network is unreachable.
57
+
58
+ ### Inspiration
59
+
60
+ This implementation is informed by [`apmantza/pi-free`](https://github.com/apmantza/pi-free)'s `lib/model-metadata.ts` (the fetcher + retry + cache + provider aliases shape) and `provider-failover/benchmark-lookup.ts` + `hardcoded-benchmarks.ts` (the prefix index + lazy `Proxy` load pattern). Where we diverge: we ship a curated **49-entry seed** in the repo (their TS version relies on hardcoded constants at build time), we add the **drift detector** + weekly **CI workflow** for proactive catalog hygiene, and we expose the data on all 3 surfaces (CLI TUI, Web Dashboard, Desktop) with consistent `metaSource` provenance.
