- #15563: get_model_context_length step 2 short-circuits to 128K default; resolve_display_context_length skips config_context_length

Most members describe the same issue: for models behind custom gateway or proxy base_urls, context length resolution falls back to a generic default (128K/256K) instead of consulting DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS or config_context_length. One member is a broad batch of ten unrelated low-risk fixes that may only partly overlap with this theme.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #41651. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #41651 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.29`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
