 # Changelog
 
+## 2026.9.36
+
+- Family 82 (daily model integration, 2026-09-29): Claude Sonnet 5.5 (`claude-sonnet-5-5`) ships on `anthropic`. Card data from the official model page checked 2026-09-29: $2/$10 per MTok, cache read $0.20, 5m write $2.50, 1h write $4, 1M native context and 128K max output, adaptive thinking on by default (effort `low` through `max`, default `high`; `between_tools` is the lowest setting), and non-default `temperature`/`top_p`/`top_k` are rejected. `contextWindow` stays the standing 175K Sonnet window (owner caps do not change). Live probe 2026-09-29: the default request and the `thinking: adaptive` + `output_config.effort: xhigh` request both returned 200.
+- Aliases: `sonnet` now resolves to `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`; `sonnet5` keeps Claude Sonnet 5. Everything else is unchanged. A user alias that pins Sonnet 5 under `sonnet` moves forward on the next config load (family 79) and keeps `sonnet5`.
+- Exact replay `scripts/patch-sonnet-5-5-model.py` (29 files); verifier checks 82.1-82.12. Roll back with `npm i -g johns-harness@2026.9.35`.
+
 ## 2026.9.35
 
 - Family 81 (session store memory, 2026-09-28): the gateway no longer runs out of memory every few days. `sessions.json` stops storing `skillsSnapshot` and `systemPromptReport` in every entry (they are rebuilt in memory on demand); existing stores shrink on the first write after the update (the live main store: 27 MB to 0.3 MB). Writes are compact JSON with one fewer full clone per load: 347 ms to 5 ms per session update on the live store copy.

+## 82 - sonnet-5-5 (2026-09-29)
+
+Second run of the daily model integration. One new model appeared in the authenticated provider lists since the 2026-09-28 run (Anthropic 12 -> 13: `claude-sonnet-5-5`); it is registered from its official page (checked 2026-09-29) and was wire-probed live.
+
+- **Claude Sonnet 5.5** (`claude-sonnet-5-5`, anthropic, native Messages). Source: <https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/sonnet-5-5/overview> (checked 2026-09-29). Fixed API id, no date suffix (Bedrock `anthropic.claude-sonnet-5-5`); released 2026-09-28. 1,000,000-token native context, 128,000 max output (300K on the Message Batches API with the `output-300k-2026-03-24` beta header), text + images in and text out, knowledge cutoff Jun 2026. Adaptive thinking is on by default: the manual-budget thinking type is not accepted, effort is `low|medium|high|xhigh|max` with default `high`, and `between_tools` is the lowest setting (turns up-front thinking off at high or below). Non-default `temperature`/`top_p`/`top_k` return 400. Pricing $2/$10 per MTok, cache reads $0.20, 5m cache writes $2.50, 1h cache writes $4, Batch API 50% off. The authenticated Models API list agrees (max_input_tokens 1,000,000; max_tokens 128,000; adaptive thinking with `enabled: false`; effort incl. xhigh/max).
+- **Context cap.** `contextWindow` ships at 175000, the standing Sonnet window (the Sonnet 5 value retained; owner caps do not change and a new model in a family keeps the latest cap of that family). `maxTokens` 128000. Sonnet 5's entry is untouched.
+- **Gates.** `supportsXhigh` gains an exact branch for `claude-sonnet-5-5` on anthropic; the Anthropic adapter's effort map accepts the id with 1:1 low/medium/high/xhigh/max (minimal -> low) and the temperature gate includes it, because non-default sampling params are 400s on this model. Adaptive thinking needs no new code: the existing `sonnet-5` substring gate already covers it. `XHIGH_MODEL_REFS` lists `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5` in all 12 copies, directly in front of the family 78 Opus 5.5 ref (families 78/80 refs stay contiguous).
+- **Aliases** (marker `JOHNNESS_PATCH_SONNET_55_MODEL`, a fourth `Object.assign(DEFAULT_MODEL_ALIASES, ...)` block in all 14 copies): `sonnet` -> `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`, `sonnet5` -> `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` (the previous version stays reachable). `opus`/`opus5`, the GPT-6/GPT-5.6 lines, `grok`, `astra`, `fable`, `sonnet46`, `deepseek` (Flash), `deepseek-pro`, `muse`, `gemini`, `banana`, `terra` and `image` are unchanged. On the next config load the family 79 migration moves a user alias that pins Sonnet 5 under `sonnet` to Sonnet 5.5 and gives the old model `sonnet5`; cross-line pins (e.g. `sonnet` on a Fable model) stay.
+- **Exact replay.** `scripts/patch-sonnet-5-5-model.py` with `patches/sonnet-5-5/changes.json` (29 files: catalog, `models.js`, the Anthropic adapter, 12 thinking copies, 14 alias copies). Preimage/postimage sha256, all-file preflight, `--check`, `--record`, `--dependency-only`, `--present-only`. Families 67, 78 and 80 reverse the family 82 edits before their historical hash checks (80 re-layers them after replaying its own edits); the family 67 replay fixture now replays 78, 79, 80 and 82 in order.
+- Verifier 82.1-82.12; 63.12 now expects four contract blocks. Tests: `tests/sonnet-5-5-model.test.mjs` (catalog in both the overlay and installed pi-ai, the adaptive effort/temperature wire path, 12 xhigh copies, 14 alias copies, the family 79 migration, exact replay and older-family replays). Counts pinned by `fable-51-model` (anthropic catalog 30 -> 31) and the family 79 migration fixture were updated.
+- Live probes 2026-09-29 (128 max tokens, "Answer with the single word: OK"): the default request and the harness-shaped `thinking: {type: "adaptive"}` + `output_config: {effort: "xhigh"}` request both returned HTTP 200 with `stop_reason: end_turn`.
+- Roll back with `npm i -g johns-harness@2026.9.35`.
