No model matched.

Error message

No model matched.

What it means

After the page script clicks the menu item, the Node side independently re-resolves the requested name against the scraped labels via `findUniqueModelOption`. This CommandExecutionError is thrown when that re-resolution finds no label (exact or substring) matching the requested name, meaning the wanted model/reasoning option was not present among the menu items actually scraped.

Solutions

1. Run `opencli codex model --list` and use an exact label from the output.
2. Check the error detail (wanted=... available=...) and correct the spelling/format of the requested name.
3. Update Codex or opencli if the model you want genuinely isn't listed.
4. If the label is visible in the UI but missing from --list, report/patch the label-filtering logic (new unfiltered chat-action entries or kbd-removal drift).

Example fix

// before
opencli codex model "gpt-5.6"   // not in menu
// after
opencli codex model --list
opencli codex model "gpt-5.5"   # pick a listed label

const listed = await run('opencli codex model --list');
const labels = parseLabels(listed);
const norm = s => s.toLowerCase().replace(/\bgpt[-\s]*/g,'').replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim();
if (!labels.some(l => norm(l).includes(norm(wanted)))) {
  throw new Error(`"${wanted}" not offered; available: ${labels.join(', ')}`);
}

function labelExists(labels, name) {
  const n = s => s.toLowerCase().replace(/\bgpt[-\s]*/g,'').replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim();
  return labels.some(l => n(l) === n(name) || n(l).includes(n(name)));
}

try {
  await switchModel(name);
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof CommandExecutionError && err.detail?.startsWith('wanted=')) {
    // parse available= JSON from detail, surface valid options to the user
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `opencli codex model <name>` with a name that doesn't correspond to any visible menu item — typo'd model names, requesting a model not offered on the account, or the page script's label filtering (kbd removal, chat-action exclusion) dropping the relevant item.

Common situations: Typo or wrong naming convention ('gpt55' vs 'GPT-5.5'); requesting a newer model than the Codex build offers; account tier lacking the model; Codex renaming menu labels after an update.
