Re-opens #866 by @100yenadmin from electricsheephq/eva-brain on upstream so the voyage-4-nano fixup and two Codex-caught follow-ups can land in the same PR (the GitHub maintainerCanModify flag doesn't grant push access across forks for upstream pushes — both HTTPS and SSH return 403).

Summary

Voyage core fix (Eva's commit ee90709e, preserved verbatim)

Fixes Voyage 2048-dim embeddings. src/core/ai/dims.ts now returns { openaiCompatible: { dimensions: N } } (SDK-supported) instead of output_dimension (Voyage wire key the AI SDK silently drops). Existing voyageCompatFetch at src/core/ai/gateway.ts:541 translates dimensions → output_dimension before the HTTP body is sent. New wire-level test stubs globalThis.fetch and asserts the actual outbound body contains output_dimension: 2048 + encoding_format: base64.

voyage-4-nano fixup (commit 8b02e238)

Voyage's voyage-4-nano is an open-weight variant listed separately as fixed 1024-dim — it doesn't accept output_dimension on the hosted API. Caught by adversarial Codex review during PR evaluation, confirmed against Voyage's docs.

• Drops voyage-4-nano from VOYAGE_OUTPUT_DIMENSION_MODELS.
• Tightens the voyage recipe docstring so the "all v4 variants are flexible" claim doesn't lead a future contributor to re-add it.
• Flips the test case to a negative regression pin (voyage-4-nano returns undefined).

Codex P3 follow-ups (commit d5dc5fad)

1. gateway.ts:619 OOM-cap was theatrical. The per-embedding Layer 2 base64 cap was throwing a generic Error that the surrounding catch {} silently swallowed, then returning the original (oversized) response into the AI SDK's JSON parser. Now wrapped in tagged VoyageResponseTooLargeError and rethrown via instanceof check. Parse-error fall-back preserved for non-OOM errors. Pinned by 2 behavioral tests + a structural assertion.

2. Voyage flexible-dim runtime validation. Brains misconfigured for Voyage flexible-dim models with embedding_dimensions outside {256, 512, 1024, 2048} (most common: leaving it unset → default 1536) now throw AIConfigError with a paste-ready fix at the embed boundary instead of waiting for Voyage's opaque HTTP 400.

3. gbrain models doctor embedding_config probe. New zero-token check runs first, before any chat/expansion probes, surfacing the misconfiguration via gbrain doctor at config-test time. New config status + fix hint rendered in both human and JSON output.

Pre-Landing Review

Adversarial Codex review ran twice during PR evaluation:

• First pass caught the voyage-4-nano membership P2 (resolved in 8b02e238).
• Second pass on the proposed plan caught the gateway.ts:619 OOM-cap P3 and the embedding_dimensions=undefined → 1536 edge case (both resolved in d5dc5fad).

No critical findings remain. bun run verify (all 9 checks + tsc --noEmit) clean.

Plan Completion

All planned items DONE. Plan file: ~/.claude/plans/this-is-an-outside-jolly-nebula.md.

Documentation

• CLAUDE.md: New entry for src/core/ai/dims.ts (the Voyage flexible-dim resolver + VOYAGE_VALID_OUTPUT_DIMS allowlist + runtime validator). v0.33.1.1 waves appended to src/core/ai/gateway.ts (VoyageResponseTooLargeError rethrow), src/core/ai/recipes/voyage.ts (tightened docstring naming the seven hosted flexible-dim models, nano explicitly excluded), and src/commands/models.ts (new zero-token embedding_config doctor probe + 'config' probe status + fix? field). New Key commands added in v0.33.1.1 (Voyage 2048-dim correctness wave) section documenting the four user-facing changes.
• README.md: gbrain models doctor help-text line extended to mention the new embedding_config probe (catches Voyage flexible-dim misconfigs before first embed).
• llms-full.txt: Regenerated via bun run build:llms (test/build-llms.test.ts gates this on every CLAUDE.md edit).
• CHANGELOG.md: Comprehensive v0.33.1.1 entry already in place — not modified.
• TODOS.md: Already current — not modified.

Why this PR replaces #866

PR #866 was opened on Eva's fork. maintainerCanModify is set but doesn't grant cross-fork push from this account (both HTTPS and SSH return 403). Landing Eva's correct core fix + 3 Codex-caught follow-ups atomically required cherry-picking her commit verbatim onto upstream and stacking the follow-ups on top. Her authorship is preserved on commit ee90709e.

#866 closes with attribution. Thanks @100yenadmin.

Test plan

• bun test test/ai/gateway.test.ts — 34/34 pass
• bun run test (parallel fast loop, 4 shards × 2 concurrency) — 6039 pass / 0 fail (post-master-merge)
• bun run verify — 9 checks + tsc --noEmit clean
• Adversarial Codex review — twice, no remaining findings
