These revision identities are distinct. Application scientific source files are unchanged.
Provider: ChatGPT account sign-in. Agent runtime: Goose 1.50.0.
Requested/recorded models: gpt-6-astra and gpt-5.6-sol.
No separate provider-resolved model revision, reasoning-effort setting or token-usage total was reported.
Every science run requested Infer from prompt and reference structures.
Selected sources: public_dielectric, hybrid3, nomad, europe_pmc, arxiv, wikipedia, openalex, chemrxiv.
Materials Project mode: api. Max results per source: 5.
Source availability and inferred profile varied; these are observed examples, not a controlled model benchmark.

Selected run records (UTC starts; elapsed includes validation after report generation):
Model labels below are configured/requested models. A01 was refused before any model call; actual model: none. A02 attempted gpt-5.6-sol, with provider-resolved identity unavailable.

CIF validation checked nonempty geometry, composition ratios, requested record identity and content digest; it does not validate device suitability.
JSmol renders derived P1 cell geometry. P1 display is not an independent space-group determination.
JSmol 16.4.23 acknowledgement and source links are in docs/resources.md and third_party/JSMOL-NOTICE.

Astra S02 recorded an unavailable Materials Project request, after which the app left the source in error.
S11 both models and subsequent Sol runs began with Materials Project unavailable; QD identity parsing also rejected descriptive candidate names in Sol.
After the tests, explicit Materials Project re-verification succeeded. A separate ZnS mp-10281 (8-site) CIF was then downloaded and digest-validated. This does not amend earlier run outcomes.
Original model/source preferences were restored and Materials Project remained ready.
