Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

OpenAI is silently routing requests from GPT-5.3-Codex to GPT-5.2 when their systems detect potential "cyber activities" (source). This affects legitimate users doing security research or development work.

Request:

OpenCode should detect when requests are routed to a different model and notify users with a clear warning. This could include:
Monitoring API responses for routing indicators
Displaying a warning message when detected
Providing a link to chatgpt.com/cyber for regaining access

Benefits:
Users understand why performance suddenly degrades
Reduces time debugging issues caused by silent model downgrades
Users can take action to regain proper access when misclassified

Context:
A recent incident affected ~9% of users. OpenAI plans to add notifications eventually, but detection at the OpenCode level provides immediate protection.
