Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.814.41407

What subscription do you have?

Enterprise API login

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

When using GPT-5.6 Luna subagents, the native spawn_agent path rejects default, flex, and auto. The only accepted option is priority/Fast

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Request one Luna subagent in a Codex thread with model gpt-5.6-luna, reasoning effort to max and service tier as default. Prompt it to do something like say hello world. The request fails with: Service tier default is not supported for model gpt-5.6-luna. Supported service tiers: priority

What is the expected behavior?

The Luna subagent starts successfully and returns hello world.

Research direction

Start at the native spawn_agent path for Luna subagents and reproduce the request with model gpt-5.6-luna, maximum reasoning effort, and service tier default. Trace how service tiers are passed to the subagent and verify that the request starts successfully and returns the expected hello-world response without rejecting default.
