 # Changelog
 
+## 2026.9.33
+
+- Claude Opus 5.5 context window cap raised from 300K to 500K (`contextWindow: 500000` in the shipped catalog and in both owner-cap paths). Opus 4.8 and Opus 5 stay at 300K. The single 300K set is now a per-model cap map (`JOHNNESS_OPUS_CONTEXT_TOKENS_BY_MODEL`); compaction and preflight follow the resolved window automatically. Verifier 78.4-78.7. Roll back with `npm i -g johns-harness@2026.9.32`.
+
 ## 2026.9.32
 
 - Family 79: recurring cron jobs retry transient errors (rate limit, overloaded, network, timeout, server error) at min(next natural slot, now + `cron.retry` backoff) up to `cron.retry.maxAttempts`, then return to the normal schedule, instead of burning the slot. Isolated cron runs always carry the default fallback chain, so a throttled job model falls through even when its provider differs from the default primary.

+- `anthropic/claude-opus-5-5` registered in the shipped pi-ai catalog (marker `JOHNNESS_PATCH_OPUS_55_MODEL`). Id, pricing ($4/$20, cache read $0.20, 5m write $5), 1M native context (500K owner cap since 2026.9.33, see below; 300K at 2026.9.31), 128K max output confirmed against `platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5` and its migration guide on 2026-09-23.
 - Adaptive thinking is always on for Opus 5.5 (`thinking.type` disabled/enabled are 400s); the adapter already sends `thinking: {type: "adaptive"}` via the `opus-5` substring gate, and effort maps 1:1 (xhigh and max are distinct). Sampling temperature is dropped for the model. `XHIGH_MODEL_REFS` lists it in all 12 copies.
 - `opus` alias moves to Opus 5.5 in all 14 alias copies through a second `Object.assign(DEFAULT_MODEL_ALIASES, ...)` block; `opus5` keeps Claude Opus 5 reachable and the opus-5 entry is untouched. `scripts/check-alias-contract.mjs` evaluates every contract block.
 - Exact replay: `scripts/patch-opus-5-5-model.py` with `patches/opus-5-5/changes.json` (31 files, preimage/postimage hashes, `--check`, `--dependency-only`, `--present-only`). Families 53 and 67 reverse the family 78 edits before checking their historical hashes. Verifier 78.1-78.3; 63.12 now expects two contract blocks.
+- **500K owner cap for Opus 5.5 (2026.9.33).** The family 30 set `JOHNNESS_OPUS_300K_MODEL_IDS` is back to `["claude-opus-4-8", "claude-opus-5"]` and a per-model map `JOHNNESS_OPUS_CONTEXT_TOKENS_BY_MODEL` now drives both cap paths in all five copies: `resolveJohnnessOpusContextWindow` (resolved config, three `model-selection` bundles) and `applyJohnnessOpusContextWindows` (models.json generation, two `models-config` bundles). Opus 4.8 and Opus 5 map to `JOHNNESS_OPUS_CONTEXT_TOKENS = 3e5`; `claude-opus-5-5` maps to `JOHNNESS_OPUS_55_CONTEXT_TOKENS = 5e5`. The shipped catalog entry carries `contextWindow: 500000`. Family 74 compaction, preflight and session snapshots read the resolved `contextWindow`, so no separate budget constant changes; the compaction threshold scales with the cap. Folded into the family 78 exact replay (same 31 files, manifest regenerated from the original preimages). Verifier 78.4-78.7 assert 5e5 for Opus 5.5 and 300K for Opus 4.8/Opus 5 in every cap copy and in the catalog; `tests/opus-55-context-500k.test.mjs` executes both cap functions per bundle.
