 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.1.15] - 2026-10-02

+### Changed
+
+- Use `gpt-6-astra` as the default Codex image-routing model instead of `gpt-5.5`. Preserve explicit tool/configuration overrides and backend-selected image rendering.

 ## How it works
 
 1. Resolves package-owned `codex-images` OAuth via Pi, or falls back to available legacy Pi `openai-codex` OAuth.
-2. Sends a request to the Codex Responses endpoint and routing model (default `gpt-5.5`) with the `image_generation` tool enabled.
+2. Sends a request to the Codex Responses endpoint and routing model (default `gpt-6-astra`) with the `image_generation` tool enabled.
 3. For edits, attaches the selected local or conversation images to the request.
 4. The backend selects an image model to generate or edit the image.
 5. Parses the SSE stream and strictly validates the returned base64 and image format.

@@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ Rules:
 - Use the Pi `codex_generate_image` tool by default for new image generation requests.
 - Image login is separate from chat: use `/login codex-images` and complete the ChatGPT OAuth flow in Pi. The Codex app is not required. Existing legacy Pi `openai-codex` OAuth can be a fallback; new `openai` plan-sharing chat OAuth cannot generate images. Never ask the user to paste login URLs or tokens into chat.
 - The tool's `model` parameter selects a Codex routing model, not Flare or Sunburst. Do not claim a specific served image model unless the response reports it. Read `details.reportedImage` for backend-reported output settings, then inspect the actual image; prompt requests for quality, dimensions, or transparency are not guarantees.
+- The default routing model is `gpt-6-astra`. Explicit tool parameters and configuration values override this default.
 - Do not automatically repeat quota, connection, timeout, or incomplete-stream failures. The remote generation may already have consumed quota.
 - Use `referencedImagePaths` for edits when every target has a local path. Use `numLastImagesToInclude` only when a target is available solely in recent conversation history. Never provide both selectors. Masks and advanced CLI-only controls still require confirmed CLI fallback.
 - Do not switch to CLI fallback for ordinary generation quality, size, or output file-path control.
