Research direction
Start by reproducing the authenticated CAPI catalog response in Copilot CLI 1.0.86-2 with the --model gpt-6-astra selection, and compare it with the returned GPT-5.6 and GPT-5.3-Codex models. Done means gpt-6-astra is restored to the authenticated catalog and direct selection succeeds, or the issue documents that recovery is still propagating.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
GPT-6 Astra was available and enabled for this Copilot Enterprise account on September 14, 2026. Following the September 17 OpenAI-model incident, the authenticated CAPI model catalog now returns 24 models and omits gpt-6-astra entirely.
GitHub Status marked the incident resolved at 21:49 UTC, but Astra remains absent afterward in Copilot CLI and Microsoft Scout. Direct selection fails with:
Model "gpt-6-astra" from --model flag is not available.
Copilot CLI version: 1.0.86-2
Account classification: Enterprise, staff
Other affected OpenAI models such as GPT-5.6 Luna, Sol, Terra, and GPT-5.3-Codex have returned.
Please restore Astra to the account’s authenticated model catalog or clarify whether recovery is still propagating.
