-Requires `GH_TOKEN` on the sync workflow step. Local runs are notice-only unless `--open-issues`. Use `--no-issues` / `--dry-run` to skip creates. Issue-fixer ignores these titles (`[missing-model]…`) — they need hand-authored metadata.
+Requires `GH_TOKEN` on the sync workflow step. Local runs are notice-only unless `--open-issues`. Use `--no-issues` / `--dry-run` to skip creates. Each newly opened issue explicitly dispatches the issue-fixer workflow so an agent can research the missing metadata and open a model PR.
 
 The first Actions run may open a batch of issues per provider, including remote IDs the catalog intentionally omits (e.g. OpenAI whisper/tts/moderation surfaces, dated snapshots). This one-time volume is accepted by design: close unwanted issues once and the closed-title dedupe suppresses them permanently. If the dedupe list window (1000 labeled issues per provider) ever fills, the sync fails closed and creates nothing rather than risk duplicates.
 
-Pioneer sets `trackMissingModels: false`: its API currently assigns the placeholder creation date `2024-01-01` to every model, so neither its timestamps nor an age cutoff can identify meaningful new additions. Existing Pioneer TOMLs are still updated by the sync.
+Pioneer and Ofox track remote-only chat models as missing-model issues. Their APIs are not authoritative enough to create complete TOMLs directly, so the issue-fixer agent researches the missing canonical and provider-specific metadata before opening a PR.
 
 OpenAI also sets `trackMissingModels: false`: `/v1/models` is scoped to the automation account and mixes public models with legacy, internal experiment, dated snapshot, and non-catalog IDs without lifecycle metadata. Existing OpenAI TOMLs are still preserved by the availability sync.
