Problem

On desktop-width screens, the docked model picker caps the model list at 360px while reserving another column for effort controls. This unnecessarily truncates long provider/model names (notably OpenCode/CLIProxyAPI identifiers), even when ample horizontal space is available.

Change

• Allow the docked model list to expand to 40rem (640px), constrained by available viewport width and clearance for the 12rem effort column.
• Keep the original 360px cap for the non-docked picker, the existing narrow-screen stacked layout, and the effort column.
• No changes to models, provider configuration, runtime or backend.

Verification

• Reproduced with long OpenCode/CLIProxyAPI names in T3 Code Nightly on Windows.
• Confirmed the usability improvement in the running browser client using equivalent CSS: 360px before, wider model list (up to 640px) after. The reporter confirmed the result worked with the existing effort column.
• git diff --check passed; exactly one frontend source file changed.
• A source-built desktop/web visual test and the repo's vp run check:changed were not run (the required vp toolchain is not currently installed on the reporting machine). CI feedback is welcome.

Before/after screenshot evidence

The reporter supplied two screenshots of the running T3 Code model picker on HAL (Windows), confirming these observations:

Before — narrow list	After — wider list
Long identifiers are truncated, e.g. openrouter/op..., CLIProxyAPI/bai..., and CLIProxyAPI/ge....	The same list shows openrouter/openrouter/free, CLIProxyAPI/baidu/ernie-5.5-flash-preview:free, and CLIProxyAPI/gemini-3.8-flash-high with substantially more of each name visible.

The provider sidebar, model-search input, shortcut badges and right-hand reasoning/effort panel remain present in both examples. The screenshots use different selected models in that panel, but show the same model-list truncation improvement.

The actual before/after image files still need to be attached to this PR; they have not been committed to the repository.

Walkthrough

The model picker now uses a viewport-aware maximum width when docked. When undocked, it retains the existing maximum width. Narrow-screen sizing remains unchanged.

Changes: Model picker sizing

Docked and undocked width rules apps/web/src/components/chat/ModelPickerContent.tsx	Docked mode uses a viewport-aware maximum width. Undocked mode retains max-w-90 and its height limit. Docked small-screen sizing remains unchanged.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to e664b

This change gives long model names more room in the docked picker and leaves the non-docked and narrow-screen layouts as they were. No merge-blocking risk was found. Attaching before-and-after screenshots would help reviewers confirm the layout.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the docked model picker gets more room so long model names are not truncated. It follows a conventional commit format and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. It is 58 characters, which is acceptable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template with Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each is filled in. The Problem section explains the truncation of long model names in the docked picker. The Change section states the 40rem docked cap and the retained 360px cap for non-docked and narrow layouts. The Scope section does not link an issue or state why none is needed, which the template asks for. The Verification section reports manual checks, screenshot evidence, and a git diff --check run. It also states that the repo's vp run check:changed and a source-built visual test were not run. The before/after screenshot images are not attached, which the template requires for UI changes. The title format is not shown in the description, so the conventional commit title cannot be checked from it. Overall the description is mostly complete, with two gaps: no linked issue or scope justification, and missing image attachments.
