gpt-oss (harmony) ships BUILT-IN tools named python/browser, invoked with the raw body as the argument (to=python + bare source), while custom functions use to=functions.NAME + JSON. Exposing our own tools under those names makes the model answer with the built-in convention: it emits raw code, the server parses it as JSON, and the request dies with 'error parsing tool call: raw=import sys, ...'. In streaming mode Ollama does not report it at all — it truncates the stream, so the turn arrives as an empty response and the agent loop reads it as a model stall. bash collides the same way in practice. Measured on gpt-oss:20b via Ollama /v1, fixed agentic prompt, 12 runs per arm: python+bash as-is 2/12, python renamed 10/12, both renamed 12/12. 74 HTTP 500s were logged server-side during investigation with zero surfaced to the client. Rename the colliding tools on the outbound payload and map the names back on responses. Transport-only and gated on gpt-oss: every other model's schemas pass through untouched (asserted in tests).

Contributing
Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.
Security
Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
