Phi-3.5-mini is no longer offered in the model lists. A phone that already has it still sees it and can keep using it.

Why: about 4 tok/s on the X6 (Qwen3-4B, about the same size, does 7+) and it invented citations in our device benchmark.

  • manifest.ts: hidden?: boolean on CatalogModel, set on Phi, and isListed(model, present).
  • Model catalog screen and Settings → Models list skip a hidden entry unless it's on the phone.
  • Test: Phi hidden, still listed when present, and nothing setup needs is hidden.

Typecheck clean, 1178/1178 tests, CodeRabbit: no findings. The native app gets the same flag on fullnative-dev.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes
    • The model catalog no longer suggests Phi-3.5 Mini when it isn’t installed. It remains visible when installed, and required and answer models remain listed.
    • Discovered models continue to appear in the catalog and setup screens.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The model manifest now supports hidden catalog entries that remain listed when present. Android catalog and setup screens apply this rule using model presence.

Changes

Model listing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and test catalog visibility
src/models/manifest.ts, src/models/manifest.test.ts
CatalogModel gains an optional hidden flag, and isListed returns true for visible or present models. Phi-3.5 Mini is marked hidden. Tests cover its listing behavior and check required and answer models.
Apply visibility rules in Android screens
src/ui-android/ModelCatalogScreen.tsx, src/ui-android/ModelSetupScreen.tsx
Both screens filter catalog entries with isListed and model presence. The catalog screen continues to include discovered models.

Installed Phi can briefly disappear from the model lists while local status is checked, then reappear. This is a limited, self-correcting UI issue; preserve unknown presence during loading.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve unknown model presence during the initial status scan.

Both model lists pass presence[m.id] ?? false to isListed. Because presence starts empty, an installed Phi-3.5-mini is treated as absent on the first render and is omitted from both lists. The model reappears after a successful status scan, so the impact is a transient but visible omission rather than a permanent absence. Preserve an unknown presence state until the scan completes in both callsites, or use one shared loading-aware helper that both callsites invoke.
