feat(retry): opt-in replay of a pre-response reset for self-contained Responses sends

[FredAmartey]

Summary

• Add providers.<name>.retryOnReset, an opt-in that lets the native Responses passthrough send a request once more when the upstream connection closes before any response byte. Off by default; a bare {} opts in with one replay; attempts (1..3, default 2) is the total number of sends the replay may reach and never widens the send budget the leg already has.
• Only a request the proxy can judge self-contained is replayed: store: false, complete input, client-executed tools only, and none of previous_response_id, conversation, background or stream_id. The predicate in src/server/responses/reset-replay.ts fails closed on any tool or item type it does not recognise and runs once on the parsed inbound body, so it costs nothing per send.
• The replay is a new replayResets option on fetchWithResetRetry, separate from replaySafe on purpose. Once the ceiling is reached, or a later attempt of that leg fails any other way, the helper returns the existing non-replayable upstream_reset_replay_refused 429, so no exit of this path hands the client a status that invites the turn to be sent again (fix(retry): refuse ambiguous reset replay without inviting a client retry (#4741) #4798 stays intact). Callers that do not pass the option are unchanged.
• Wired into the four native passthrough sends (initial, rotation, refresh, same-target 429 wait), decided once per request. The generic adapter dispatch, its continuation, compact and native Chat keep the unconditional refusal, and a turn that carries previous_response_id or conversation is out of scope by design.
• Validated at the management write boundary like retryOn429 and degraded to absent at load like webSearchBridge, so a malformed hand edit of an off-by-default feature never sends the operator through invalid-config recovery.

Why: a canonical ChatGPT send on a long thread can die before any response byte. Since 2.57.0 the proxy answers that with the 429 refusal and Codex, which does not retry a 429 (retry_429: false), ends the turn with exceeded retry limit, last status: 429. On the direct path the same event is retried by the client's transport policy. Over six weeks on one Codex Desktop install this was about 2,000 pre-response closes across 28 threads, 83% of them in threads above 120k input tokens; before 2.57.0, 93% were resent by the client within ten seconds and 66% of those resends succeeded. The refusal is the right default. This gives an operator who understands the quota cost a bounded way to get the direct-path behaviour back for the requests where a replay can only repeat the inference.

Those are requests the predicate accepts, checked on the wire rather than assumed. A Codex 0.155 turn captured at the proxy boundary is store: false with the whole transcript as input, the tool catalog inside an additional_tools item as namespace groups of function and custom tools, no root tools, and no previous_response_id or conversation. A 197-item thread whose session had used subagents passed selfContainedResponsesBody the same way as a fresh one.

Sponsored surface

src/server/auth-cors.ts is in the sponsored set, and the hygiene gate flags it. The change there is ten lines in three places every provider option already occupies: the retryOnReset: "editor" entry in PROVIDER_CONFIG_FIELD_POLICY, which the map's type requires for any new provider field; the write-boundary call to retryOnResetPolicyConfigError next to the identical retryOn429 and webSearchBridge calls; and one delete canonicalCandidate.retryOnReset beside requestPacing, because a full-object write of the canonical openai row compares the candidate against the registry seed with an exact key match and would otherwise admit the field in validation and refuse it in the comparison. No authentication, CORS or credential logic is touched. This needs maintainer-sponsored after review; happy to split the policy entry into its own commit if that helps.

Verification

Check	Result
Base	dev at d20b25d47; head a9b04745189a, one commit
bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan	clean
bun test on the touched suites: lib/upstream-retry, providers/upstream-transient-retry, responses/responses-reset-replay, responses/responses-send-budget-counts, responses/responses-core-modules, responses/passthrough-headers, server/management-provider-validation, test-layout, test-layout-tooling	259 pass, 0 fail

bun run test:changed (511 files, since the change touches the shared types and config modules)	timed out under load on this machine; the nine affected files rerun alone had four failures that fail identically on an untouched dev checkout here (responses-state Windows spill queue, server-management-auth incomplete-body cancel, server-combo-failover-e2e connect cancellation, server-auth native passthrough reset log)
Red checks	the three new or extended test files with the src/ changes reverted: 6 fail, 43 pass, and the guard cases that must hold without the change pass; management-provider-validation with the auth-cors.ts candidate line reverted: 1 fail, 128 pass. Source restored byte-identical both times.
cd docs-site && bun run build	456 pages; the new row renders in all eight locales and the server.md paragraph

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup. The one refactor is the refusal body moving into replayRefusalResponse() because the policy path needs it from a second place; retryOn429PolicyConfigError now shares its formatter with the new validator, same messages.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. Off by default; no credential, routing or auth-mode behaviour changes; the write boundary redacts secret-shaped names the same way retryOn429 does.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

• All CI tests are green on my local testing. Head a9b04745189a; the four timing-sensitive test:changed failures reproduce on an untouched dev checkout and are listed in the verification table.
• I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit. Base is dev tip d20b25d47.
• I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings. Both CodeRabbit findings and the maintainer review's points are in a9b04745189a.
• My PR is ready for review.

The Turkish reference misstates which providers support reset replay, and full-object configuration writes cannot enable the documented option for the canonical ChatGPT provider. The feature remains usable through existing overlay-tolerant paths, but these corrections should be made.

설명

이 PR은 현재 dev 끝(8004975d1, fix(oauth): register legacy recovery backups for owned cleanup (#4572)) 위에서, 네이티브 Responses 패스스루가 응답 바이트가 하나도 오기 전에 업스트림 연결이 끊겼을 때 기본으로 돌려주는 재전송 불가 429(upstream_reset_replay_refused, #4798 계약)를 운영자가 직접 켠 경우에만 아주 좁게 한 번 더 보내게 해 줍니다.

핵심은 새 모듈 src/server/responses/reset-replay.ts 입니다. 프로바이더에 providers.<name>.retryOnReset 객체가 있고(기본 꺼짐, {} 만 있어도 켜짐, attempts 기본 2=총 전송 2회), 그리고 들어온 본문이 selfContainedResponsesBody 를 통과할 때만 replayResets 옵션을 붙입니다. 자기완결 조건은 store: false, 완전한 input, 클라이언트 실행 도구만(function/custom/client tool_search/namespace), 그리고 previous_response_id·conversation·background·stream_id 없음입니다. 모르는 도구/아이템 타입은 전부 거절(fail-closed)합니다.

실제 재전송은 src/lib/upstream-retry.ts 의 fetchWithResetRetry 에 새로 생긴 replayResets 로 이뤄집니다. 이건 사이드카용 replaySafe 와 일부러 분리돼 있습니다. 사이드카는 예산이 끝나면 예외를 다시 던질 수 있지만, 정책 재전송은 이미 추론이 돌았을 수 있는 모델 POST라서 천장을 쓰거나 그다음 실패가 나면 같은 거부 429를 돌려 클라이언트가 턴을 또 보내게 만들지 않습니다(#4798 유지). 거절 본문은 replayRefusalResponse() 한곳으로 모았습니다.

배선은 src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts 의 preparePassthroughExchange 에서 요청당 한 번 resetReplayOptions(route.provider, parsed._rawBody) 를 계산해 초기·로테이션·리프레시·동일타깃 429 대기 네 레그에 같은 옵션을 펼칩니다. 제네릭 어댑터 디스패치·continuation·compact·native Chat 은 문서대로 그대로 무조건 거절입니다. 설정은 src/types/provider.ts 의 ResetReplayPolicy, src/config/schema/leaf-validators.ts 스키마(.catch(undefined)로 로드 시 조용히 사라짐), src/config/load-degrade.ts / src/server/auth-cors.ts 관리 API 쓰기 경계 검증(retryOn429 과 같은 포맷터), src/providers/key-failover.ts 의 resetReplayPolicyFor 로 이어집니다. 문서(providers 8개 로케일 + server.md + structure/transports/responses.md)와 tests/responses/responses-reset-replay.test.ts 등 테스트가 같이 들어 있어서, 방향 자체는 현재 dev 의 재시도/예산 규율(#4798, transient/429 예산 공유)과 잘 맞습니다.

다만 PR 본문이 말하는 긴 스레드(12만 토큰+)에서 응답 전 끊김이 많다는 동기와, 실제 술어가 previous_response_id / 불완전 input 을 전부 막는 지점이 겹치지 않을 수 있습니다. Codex가 이어쓰기 필드를 쓰는 턴은 이 옵트인을 켜도 재전송되지 않습니다. 또 베이스가 bdf68e4dac07(#4593)인데 지금 dev 팁은 8004975d1(#4572)라 한 커밋 뒤처져 있고, hygiene 가 src/server/auth-cors.ts 변경으로 unsponsored_surface / intake: hygiene-blocked 입니다. src/types.ts·src/config.ts 재수출도 건드리므로 대형 타입/설정 분리 캠페인과 충돌 여지가 있습니다(이 PR 자체가 분리로 무효화되는 종류는 아님).

라인 63 - src/server/responses/reset-replay.ts 의 selfContainedResponsesBody 가 previous_response_id / conversation / stream_id 가 있으면 무조건 false 입니다. PR이 든 긴 스레드 끊김 통계의 상당수가 이어쓰기 본문이면, 옵트인을 켜도 그 사고는 그대로 거부 429로 끝납니다. 동기와 술어가 맞는지 숫자로 확인이 필요합니다.
라인 207-215 - src/config/schema/leaf-validators.ts 주석은 RESET_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS 때문에 운영자가 최대 두 번이라고 쓰지만, 스키마는 attempts 를 1..3 으로 허용합니다. 주석·스키마·기본값(2)·문서(1..3)를 한 줄로 맞춰야 합니다.
src/server/auth-cors.ts - 관리 쓰기 경계에 retryOnResetPolicyConfigError 와 필드 정책만 추가했는데, 경로 이름 때문에 hygiene 이 unsponsored_surface 로 막혔습니다. 인증/시크릿 동작 변경은 아니지만 maintainer-sponsored 없이 merge 게이트를 통과할 수 없습니다.
베이스 bdf68e4dac07 - 현재 dev HEAD 8004975d1 (#4572) 보다 한 커밋 뒤입니다. 충돌 가능성은 낮아 보이지만, 리뷰/CI는 팁에 맞춰 rebase 한 뒤에 보는 편이 맞습니다.
src/types.ts / src/config.ts - ResetReplayPolicy 재수출과 retryOnResetPolicyConfigError export 가 들어갑니다. 대형 types/config 분리 캠페인과 같은 파일을 건드리므로, 병행 PR이 있으면 rebase 비용이 커질 수 있습니다. 기능 자체는 분리로 무효화되는 종류가 아니라서 닫을 이유는 없습니다.
체크리스트 - CodeRabbit/Codex 소견 반영 칸이 아직 비어 있고, CI 의 enforce-target·hygiene 가 fail 입니다. 로컬 포커스 테스트 서술은 충실하지만, 게이트가 빨간 상태로 ready 를 체크한 상태입니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

• 이 옵트인의 실제 대상 트래픽이 무엇인지: 긴 Codex 스레드(이어쓰기) vs store: false+완전 input 자기완결 요청. 전자가 주 사고면 술어를 넓히지 않는 한 체감 효과가 거의 없을 수 있습니다.
• 중복 과금 리스크를 운영자 책임으로 둘지(fix(retry): refuse ambiguous reset replay without inviting a client retry (#4741) #4798 기본 거절 유지 + 옵트인), 아니면 더 강한 기본값/경고 UI가 필요한지.
• auth-cors.ts 터치에 maintainer-sponsored 를 달지(검증만인지 보안 리뷰가 필요한지).
• 스키마 상한 3 vs 주석의 “최대 두 번”: 의도적 여유인지, 문서 오류인지.
• 제네릭 어댑터/Chat 경로는 계속 거절: 패스스루만 풀어 주는 범위가 제품적으로 충분한지.

너의 추천
닫지 말고 유지하되, (1) dev 팁 8004975d1 위로 rebase, (2) leaf-validators 주석을 스키마/문서와 일치, (3) PR 본문이나 structure 에 이어쓰기 본문은 이 옵트인 대상이 아님을 한 문장으로 명시하고 가능하면 동기 통계 중 self-contained 비율을 보강, (4) 메인테이너가 maintainer-sponsored 부여 후 hygiene 재실행, (5) CodeRabbit 소견 칸 처리. 그다음 focused suite + structure/privacy 가 팁 기준으로 초록인지 확인한 뒤 merge 후보로 두면 됩니다. types/config 분리 캠페인 때문에 이 PR을 닫을 필요는 없습니다.

Allow retryOnReset in full-object canonical openai writes.

The full-object POST path calls providerManagementConfigError without allowOperatorOverlays. Its sameCanonicalProviderSeed comparison requires an exact key match, so retryOnReset is rejected before retryOnResetPolicyConfigError runs. The PATCH, editor, and reload paths already use the overlay-tolerant comparison.

retryOnReset is a validated policy for native openai-responses sends, including the forward-auth ChatGPT backend. Remove it from the comparison candidate while retaining validation of the raw field:

Proposed fix

     delete canonicalCandidate.annotateEmptyToolOutputs;
+    delete canonicalCandidate.retryOnReset;

The remaining canonical fields still require an exact match, so this does not weaken the canonical seed invariant.

Thanks for the read. Follow-ups are in a9b04745189a:

• rebased onto the dev tip d20b25d47
• the retryOnResetPolicySchema comment now says what the schema says: attempts is the total send count including the first, ceiling 3, so at most two replays per leg
• Turkish row wording fixed (CodeRabbit)
• CodeRabbit's outside-diff point was right: a full-object write of the canonical openai row compared the field against the seed with an exact key match, so it was admitted by validation and refused by the comparison. It is now dropped from the comparison candidate like requestPacing, with a unit case on the strict path that fails without the line.

On the motivation versus the predicate: I checked the real client rather than assume. A Codex 0.155 turn captured at the proxy boundary is store: false with the whole transcript as input; the tool catalog rides inside an additional_tools item as namespace groups of function and custom tools; there is no previous_response_id or conversation. A 197-item thread whose session had used subagents passes selfContainedResponsesBody the same way as a fresh turn. Codex never sends a continuation body, so the long-thread closes in the numbers are exactly the requests this opt-in reaches. Continuation bodies stay out of scope on purpose, and the docs and structure section now say so in one sentence.

The auth-cors.ts footprint is ten lines in three places every provider option already occupies. Whether that gets maintainer-sponsored is your call; I can split it into its own commit if that helps.

[lidge-jun]

Sponsored. Reviewed the restricted touch only: src/server/auth-cors.ts calls retryOnResetPolicyConfigError and deletes retryOnReset from the canonical seed candidate.

retryOnReset is a retry overlay. No row in PROVIDER_CONFIG_FIELD_POLICY changes classification, so nothing leaves REDACTED_PROVIDER_FIELDS, and no admission or auth path is involved.

This label covers the security boundary in MAINTAINERS.md only. The feature itself still needs ordinary review, and the failing test shards on this branch are unaffected by the label.
