[Request] In Mastermind, what's the longest possible logically consistent solve?

Standard Mastermind rules (4 pins, 6 colors, repeats allowed).

By logically consistent, I mean that the codebreaker may only submit guesses that are still valid possibilities bases on all previous hints.

Extra question: What would the secret code and the full sequence of guesses be? (Using numbers to represent the colors)
