feat(codex): add reusable WebSocket transport by WebMad · Pull Request #1964 · Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code

Related GitHub Issue

Part of #1963. UI follow-up #1965 closes the feature issue after all parts are merged.

Split and merge order

The original feature is now separated into four review scopes:

fix(codex): preserve encrypted reasoning alongside visible summaries #1966: independent encrypted-reasoning history fix.
This PR (feat(codex): add reusable WebSocket transport #1964): standalone WebSocket transport implementation and dependencies.
feat(codex): activate WebSocket transport via provider settings #1967: shared setting, persistence coverage, and provider activation.
feat(codex): add WebSocket settings UI #1965: webview control, translations, tests, and visual baselines.

#1966 and #1964 can merge independently → #1967 → #1965. Update the dependent branches from the main branch after their prerequisites merge.

Existing review history is retained. This branch was narrowed through normal fast-forward commits; no force push was used.

Description

Implement a dedicated, reusable WebSocket transport for the OpenAI Codex ChatGPT-subscription endpoint, without activating it in the provider yet. Existing provider requests continue to use HTTP until #1967 is applied.

Scope: 35 files, 2,793 added lines, including tests:

CodexWebSocketTransport.ts and its focused transport suite.
Implementation and unit tests under codex-websocket.
Dependencies in src/package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml.

Behavior implemented by the transport:

Reuse authenticated connections and incrementally continue compatible requests.
Keep connection management, continuation, item snapshots, cancellation/deadlines, response handling, and scoped resource ownership separately testable.
Allow one full-context retry for a server cache miss before any response event.
Distinguish a rejected upgrade from disconnects after sending, so provider activation can permit only safe HTTP fallback and avoid ambiguous replay.
Rotate connections before the server lifetime limit, close after two idle minutes, and reconnect when credentials change.
Reset continuation for incompatible request settings or reconstructed history; retain hashes and changed field names rather than message or reasoning contents in diagnostics.

There are no provider-setting, provider-activation, shared-package, conversation-history, or UI changes in this PR's current diff. Every changed file is byte-for-byte identical to its original unsplit version. Combining #1966, #1964, #1967, and #1965 reproduces the complete original Git tree exactly, including binary visual baselines.

The original feature backup and pre-resplit backend backup remain available.

Test Procedure

Validation in the isolated transport-only worktree:

170 tests passed across 12 API suites: transport-level and transport-layer tests, plus existing Codex provider/native tool-call regressions verifying unchanged HTTP behavior.
Extension type check passed.
Focused ESLint checks passed with no suppression-count increases.
Repository-wide unused-code gate passed without changing its configuration; existing warning-level findings remain.

The combined backend state additionally passed 570 focused tests and shared-types/extension type checks. UI #1965 passed its 18 focused tests and webview type check with the complete feature present. These combined checks do not replace standalone CI on each dependent PR.

No tests or runtime logic were rewritten during the split. Full repository tests were not rerun locally. Local validation used Node 24.7.0 / pnpm 10.8.1; the repository requests Node 22.23.1.

Pre-Submission Checklist

Scope: Transport implementation and dependency metadata only.
Self-Review: Nonoverlapping scope and exact preservation verified.
Testing: Standalone focused tests, type check, lint, and unused-code gate passed.
Visual Snapshot: Not applicable; UI coverage and baselines belong to feat(codex): add WebSocket settings UI #1965.
Documentation Impact: User-facing provider documentation should describe the feature when activation and UI are released; documentation files remain outside these PRs.

Additional Notes

This supports the Codex subscription endpoint and its WebSocket beta protocol. API-key OpenAI providers are outside the scope. The user-facing opt-in behavior is introduced by #1967 and #1965, not by this transport-only PR.

No changeset or changelog entry is included.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added streaming responses over WebSocket, with connection reuse and automatic HTTP fallback when the WebSocket connection is unavailable.
- Added continuation support to reuse prior response context, with recovery when the server cannot find cached history.
- Added handling for request cancellation, timeouts, and concurrent requests.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a Codex WebSocket transport. It manages socket connections and request lifecycles, streams response events, and stores response history for continuation or full-context replay.

Adds the `ws` runtime dependency and its type dependency.
Request lifecycle and response streaming `src/api/providers/CodexWebSocketTransport.ts`, `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/managers/CodexWebSocket{Request,Response}Manager.ts`, `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/state-holders/CodexWebSocket{Request,Response}StateHolder.ts`, `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/models/CodexWebSocket{Request,Response}StateModel.ts`, `src/api/providers/__tests__/CodexWebSocketTransport.spec.ts`, `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/managers/__tests__/CodexWebSocket{Request,Response}Manager.spec.ts`, `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/state-holders/__tests__/CodexWebSocketStateHolders.spec.ts`	Adds request cancellation and timeout handling, response event processing, and one cache-miss retry when recovery is allowed before streaming starts. Completed responses update continuation history.
Scope assembly and lifecycle `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/scopes/*`, `src/api/providers/codex-websocket/scopes/__tests__/CodexWebSocketScopes.spec.ts`	Adds transport, connection, and request scopes that assemble and own their respective resources. Tests cover initialization and cleanup, including disposal during pending setup.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c9d24

This PR adds a WebSocket transport, but the provider does not use it yet. The only open item is in the tests: the timeout and Stop tests accept any error, so they would still pass if the deadline or the caller's cancellation stopped working. Tightening these assertions is a small follow-up, and the PR is otherwise mergeable.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

A concrete connection-error branch lacks focused coverage. CodexWebSocketConnectionManager.createConnectionScope() resets continuation when the current socket reports an error (src/api/providers/codex-websocket/managers/CodexWebSocketConnectionManager.ts:92-99). The manager tests invoke onError() only on a stale scope and assert that it does not reset continuation (src/api/providers/codex-websocket/managers/__tests__/CodexWebSocketConnectionManager.spec.ts:156-176). The scope tests verify callback forwarding, but they do not verify the manager's reset behavior for a current connection. The pull request therefore lacks a focused regression test for an active socket error invalidating continuation state.

Resolution

Add a connection-manager unit test that acquires and opens a current mocked scope, invokes its onError() callback, and asserts that resetContinuation is called. Also verify that a stale scope error does not call the reset callback, retaining the existing negative-case coverage.

Split completed: this PR now contains only the backend/shared-package changes and their dependency lockfile; the webview changes are in #1965. Merge this PR first, then update and merge #1965. Both scopes preserve the original code exactly, and their combined Git tree matches the original unsplit PR. Validation: 570 backend tests and 18 UI tests passed, plus type and focused lint checks.

WebMad · 2026-10-08T18:56:25Z

Further split completed. The current diff is transport-only: 35 files. The independent reasoning fix is #1966 (2 files), provider settings/activation are #1967 (9 files, draft), and the unchanged UI is #1965 (28 files, draft). Merge order: #1966 and #1964 independently, then #1967, then #1965. Every original file is preserved exactly in one scope; recombining all four reproduces the original feature tree. Standalone checks passed for the reasoning fix and transport; combined validation passed 570 backend tests and 18 UI tests, plus type and focused lint checks.
