 ## Issue Description
 The user encountered a 403 error when running in Magentic mode:
-`Error code: 403 - {'error': {'message': 'Project ... does not have access to model gpt-5.1', ... 'code': 'model_not_found'}}`
-
-This indicates the application is trying to use `gpt-5.1`, which the user's API key did not have access to (likely a beta/gated model).
+`Error code: 403 - {'error': {'message': 'Project ... does not have access to model gpt-5', ... 'code': 'model_not_found'}}`
 
 ## Root Cause Analysis
-The default config used `gpt-5.1` (beta/preview) and `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`.
-Initial remediation mistakenly downgraded these to 2024 models (`gpt-4o`).
-Web search confirmed that in November 2025:
-- `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` IS valid.
-- `gpt-5.1` exists but access is restricted (leading to 403).
-- `gpt-5` (August 2025) is the stable flagship.
+OpenAI deprecated the base `gpt-5` model. Tier 5 accounts now have access to:
+- `gpt-5.1` (current flagship)
+- `gpt-5-mini`
+- `gpt-5-nano`
+- `gpt-4.1`, `gpt-4.1-mini`, `gpt-4.1-nano`
+- `o3`, `o4-mini`
+
+The base `gpt-5` is NO LONGER available via API.
 
 ## Solution Implemented
 Updated `src/utils/config.py` to use:
-- `anthropic_model`: `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` (Restored correct Nov 2025 model)
-- `openai_model`: `gpt-5` (Changed from 5.1 to 5 to ensure stability/access).
+- `openai_model`: `gpt-5.1` (the actual current model)
+- `anthropic_model`: `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` (unchanged)
 
 ## Verification
-- `tests/unit/agent_factory/test_judges_factory.py` updated and passed.
+- `tests/unit/agent_factory/test_judges_factory.py` updated and passed.
+- User confirmed Tier 5 access to `gpt-5.1` via OpenAI dashboard.

+- **Status:** ✅ FIXED (Bug 1 & Bug 2) - 2025-11-29
+- **Tests:** 138 passing (136 original + 2 new validation tests)

+
+## Bug 1: Token-by-Token Streaming Spam ✅ FIXED
+
+### Symptoms
+When running Magentic (Advanced) mode, the UI shows hundreds of individual lines like:
+```text
+📡 STREAMING: Below
+📡 STREAMING: is
+📡 STREAMING: a
+📡 STREAMING: curated
+📡 STREAMING: list
+...
+```
+
+Each token is displayed as a separate streaming event, creating visual spam and making it impossible to read the output until completion.
+
+### Root Cause (VALIDATED)
+**File:** `src/orchestrator_magentic.py:247-254`
+
+```python
+elif isinstance(event, MagenticAgentDeltaEvent):
+    if event.text:
+        return AgentEvent(
+            type="streaming",
+            message=event.text,  # Single token!
+            data={"agent_id": event.agent_id},
+            iteration=iteration,
+        )
+```
+
+Every LLM token emits a `MagenticAgentDeltaEvent`, which creates an `AgentEvent(type="streaming")`.
+
+**File:** `src/app.py:171-192` (BEFORE FIX)
+
+```python
+async for event in orchestrator.run(message):
+    event_md = event.to_markdown()
+    response_parts.append(event_md)  # Appends EVERY token
+
+    if event.type == "complete":
+        yield event.message
+    else:
+        yield "\n\n".join(response_parts)  # Yields ALL accumulated tokens
+```
+
+For N tokens, this yields N times, each time showing all previous tokens. This is O(N²) string operations and creates massive visual spam.
+
+### Fix Applied
+**File:** `src/app.py:175-204`
+
+Implemented streaming token buffering with live updates:
+1. Added `streaming_buffer = ""` to accumulate tokens
+2. For each streaming event: append to buffer, yield immediately (for live typing UX)
+3. **Key fix**: Don't append streaming events to `response_parts` (prevents O(N²) list growth)
+4. Each yield has only ONE `📡 STREAMING:` line (the accumulated buffer)
+5. Flush buffer to `response_parts` only when non-streaming event occurs
+
+**Result**: Live typing feel preserved, but no visual spam (each update replaces, not accumulates)
+
+### Proposed Fix Options
+
+**Option A: Buffer streaming tokens (recommended)**
+```python
+# In app.py - accumulate streaming tokens, yield periodically
+streaming_buffer = ""
+last_yield_time = time.time()
+
+async for event in orchestrator.run(message):
+    if event.type == "streaming":
+        streaming_buffer += event.message
+        # Only yield every 500ms or on newline
+        if time.time() - last_yield_time > 0.5 or "\n" in event.message:
+            yield f"📡 {streaming_buffer}"
+            last_yield_time = time.time()
+    elif event.type == "complete":
+        yield event.message
+    else:
+        # Non-streaming events
+        response_parts.append(event.to_markdown())
+        yield "\n\n".join(response_parts)
+```
+
+**Option B: Don't yield streaming events at all**
+```python
+# In app.py - only yield meaningful events
+async for event in orchestrator.run(message):
+    if event.type == "streaming":
+        continue  # Skip token-by-token spam
+    # ... rest of logic
+```
+
+**Option C: Fix at orchestrator level**
+Don't emit `AgentEvent` for every delta - buffer in `_process_event`.
+
+---
+
+## Bug 2: API Key Does Not Persist in Textbox ✅ FIXED
+
+### Symptoms
+1. User opens the "Mode & API Key" accordion
+2. User pastes their API key into the password textbox
+3. User clicks an example OR clicks elsewhere
+4. The API key textbox is now empty - value lost
+
+### Root Cause (VALIDATED)
+**File:** `src/app.py:255-267` (BEFORE FIX)
+
+```python
+additional_inputs_accordion=additional_inputs_accordion,
+additional_inputs=[
+    gr.Radio(...),
+    gr.Textbox(
+        label="🔑 API Key (Optional)",
+        type="password",
+        # No `value` parameter - defaults to empty
+        # No state persistence mechanism
+    ),
+],
+```
+
+Gradio's `ChatInterface` with `additional_inputs` has known issues:
+1. Clicking examples resets additional inputs to defaults
+2. The accordion state and input values may not persist correctly
+3. No explicit state management for the API key
+
+### Fix Applied
+**Files Modified:**
+1. `src/app.py`
+2. `src/utils/llm_factory.py`
+
+**Bug 1 (Streaming Spam):**
+- Accumulate tokens in `streaming_buffer`
+- Yield updates immediately for live typing UX
+- **Key**: Don't append to `response_parts` until stream segment complete
+- Each yield has ONE `📡 STREAMING:` line (not N accumulated lines)
+
+**Bug 2 (API Key Persistence):**
+- **Strategy:** Partial example list (relies on Gradio behavior)
+  - Examples have only 2 elements `[message, mode]` instead of 4
+  - Gradio only updates inputs with corresponding example values
+  - Remaining inputs (api_key textbox) are left unchanged
+  - `api_key_state` parameter exists as fallback but may be redundant
+- **Note:** This is a workaround relying on undocumented Gradio behavior
+
+**Bug 3 (OpenAIModel Deprecation):** ✅ FIXED
+- Replaced all `OpenAIModel` imports with `OpenAIChatModel` in `src/app.py` and `src/utils/llm_factory.py`.
+
+### Test Results
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests/ -q
+============================= 138 passed in 20.60s =============================
+```
+
+**Status:** ✅ All tests passing
+
+### Why This Fix Works
+
+**Bug 1 (Streaming Spam):**
+- **Before:** Every token → `append()` to list → `yield` → List grew to size N → O(N²) complexity.
+- **After:** Every token → `yield` dynamically constructed string (buffer + history) → List stays size K (number of *events*).
+- **Impact:** Smooth streaming, no visual spam, no browser freeze.
+
+**Bug 2 (API Key):**
+- **Before:** Example click → Overwrote API Key textbox with `""`.
+- **After:** Example click → Updates only `message` and `mode` → API Key textbox untouched.
+- **Impact:** User input persists naturally.
+
+### Remaining Work
+- **Bug 4 (Asyncio GC errors):** Monitoring only - likely Gradio/HF Spaces issue
