+# Parallel Provider/Model Comparison Plan
+
+Goal: allow configuring multiple provider:model pairs per surface so users can run a local and cloud LLM side-by-side for manual comparison. Completions should fan out and show one suggestion per configured entry; Hexai CLI should emit one response per entry; code actions remain single-provider.
+
+## Phase 1 – Configuration & Schema
+- [x] Audit existing per-surface config to support arrays of provider:model entries (preserving current single-entry behavior by default).
+- [x] Design updated TOML and env schema (e.g., `[[models.completion]] provider="openai" model="gpt-4o"`).
+- [x] Define merge, validation, and backward-compatibility rules (single entry auto-wraps into list).
+
+## Phase 2 – Runtime Plumbing
+- Extend appconfig/runtime store to emit ordered slices for multi-entry surfaces, including diff output.
+- Update request-spec helpers to iterate across configured entries, building dedicated request specs (and caching clients per provider/model combo).
+- Ensure logging/stats capture provider/model context per entry.
+
+## Phase 3 – Surface Implementations
+- Completion: fan out requests sequentially, gather one suggestion per entry, and surface them distinctly to the editor (label with provider/model).
+- CLI: stream or print separate responses per entry, with clear headers and stats per run.
+- Code actions: keep single-provider flow but ensure config ignores extra entries with validation warnings.
+- Add reasonable concurrency limits / timeouts so multi-provider usage stays responsive.
+
+## Phase 4 – UX & Validation
+- Tests covering multi-entry parsing, diffing, and surface-specific behavior (mock providers to simulate dual responses).
+- Update docs and example TOML with new array syntax, including env override strategy.
+- Capture lessons/issues in scratchpad for follow-up polishing.
