Pin Cline provider models and add commit rules to .clinerules
Cline v4.1.23 changes defaults on 19 providers, renames Vultr model ids, adds GPT-6.1 Sol and Solar Mini 4, and applies .clinerules to Generate Commit Message. Pin models, re-select Vultr, put commit conventions in .clinerules, and page oversized MCP output with read_files.Why this loop
v4.1.23 changes the default model for 302.AI, AKI.IO, Blue Claw, CoralBricks, CrossModel, DevPass, DigitalOcean, GMI Cloud, LLM Gateway, Mistral, NanoGPT, Neon, Nvidia, Ofox, Requesty, Subconscious, The Grid AI, Vivgrid, and Vultr. Unpinned setups will silently switch models. Vultr model ids were renamed upstream, so a pinned Vultr model may need to be re-selected. The recommended list adds GPT-6.1 Sol; the free list adds Solar Mini 4 and drops DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and space-bunny-alpha. Generate Commit Message now follows .clinerules, so language, format, and ticket references only apply if those conventions live in that file. Incomplete replies auto-continue once, custom Anthropic base URLs no longer 400, and MCP output past the context cutoff is a preview plus a link Cline can page with read_files—pin models and treat commit rules plus MCP paging as standard Cline workflow.
Proposed actions
- In Cline model settings, pin an explicit model for every provider you use among 302.AI, AKI.IO, Blue Claw, CoralBricks, CrossModel, DevPass, DigitalOcean, GMI Cloud, LLM Gateway, Mistral, NanoGPT, Neon, Nvidia, Ofox, Requesty, Subconscious, The Grid AI, Vivgrid, and Vultr so v4.1.23's new defaults cannot silently change the agent.
- If this workspace pins a Vultr model, re-select that model in Cline after upgrading to v4.1.23; Vultr model ids were renamed upstream and the old pin may no longer match.
- Append a Commit Messages section to .clinerules that states language, format, and ticket-reference conventions, then use Cline Generate Commit Message so those rules apply to commit text too.
- In Cline, switch the recommended model to GPT-6.1 Sol. If the workspace still uses DeepSeek V4.1 Flash or space-bunny-alpha from the free list, replace it with Solar Mini 4.
- When an MCP tool returns a preview plus a link because output exceeded context, tell Cline: page through the remaining MCP output with read_files until the full result is in context before continuing the task.

Your job
- Restate the change in one sentence.
- Propose a minimal plan for my repo (or a throwaway pilot).
- Implement only what I approve; prefer small diffs and tests.
- Call out risks (permissions, breaking APIs, cost).
