 ### Task Delivery (ALL TASKS)
 
+- An installed CLI must not be rejected solely because its version differs from the SDK target. The target selects SDK-managed installation and release qualification; actual CLI capabilities determine which operations work (creator correction 2026-10-16).

+Installed CLI versions are not required to match `TargetVersion`. Metadata reports the actual installed version, and execution uses that CLI; unavailable flags or features fail through the actual CLI operation rather than a version-number admission gate.

+The model constants include the official `rust-v0.163.0` bundled catalog (GPT-6, GPT-5.6, Daybreak, GPT-5.5 and the review model). Constants for other installed CLI catalogs remain usable because installed versions are unrestricted. The catalog regression requires every bundled upstream model to be represented; it does not reject additional verified model constants. Runtime metadata still reads the installed CLI cache and does not infer account access from these constants.
+
 ## Business Rules
 
 - Metadata read is read-only and does not mutate local Codex state.
