Summary

  • Complete HTTP 400 errors with an exact plan/model refusal in response.error.message or response.detail now allow the next declared combo target. This is the bounded nested-carrier follow-up to fix(combos): preserve plan-model refusal evidence through error projection #6527 and review r4174492258.
  • Check root/response ambiguity before carrier selection. An own root detail or error remains authoritative, even when null or nonmatching. Otherwise inspect one own non-array response record; never recurse or search quoted fields. Preserve explicit finite non-matches, hard stops, output commitment and send limits. SSE selection and logging are unchanged. A shared bounded parser also preserves allowlisted root/nested hard-stop codes before display truncation, including the exact HTTP400 prefix.
  • Document the shared HTTP wrapper contract, including policy-fallback/direct callers, and retain the full presence matrix.

The coordinator owns integration. Source #6505 was already superseded; this PR does not reopen or close it. No provider body/message logging is added.

Verification

  • Real HTTP nested-only positive regressions: 19 pass / 4 fail before the fix, covering both carriers with and without display-length padding. All now pass without an unsupported_model shortcut.
  • Focused suite: 479 pass / 0 fail across 13 files:
bun test tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.ts tests/server/server-combo-plan-model-refusal.test.ts tests/server/server-combo-failover-e2e.test.ts tests/server/server-combo-zero-output-failover.test.ts tests/routing/combo-stream-preflight.test.ts tests/routing/routing-policy-fallback.test.ts tests/responses/responses-core-modules.test.ts tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts tests/providers/cyber-policy-error-fidelity.test.ts tests/responses/responses-spend-capacity-guard.test.ts
  • bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check, and git diff --check: pass. No size limit or test guard was weakened.
  • Consumer regressions reproduced quoted SSE expansion, lost nested non-replayable codes, origin-code aliases and prefixed HTTP code loss before repair. Physical HTTP and policy tests now retain one-send hard stops, including codes after 800 characters of padding; wrong/repeated prefixes and quoted SSE messages retain their previous behavior.
  • Architect reflection approved the bounded carrier and hard-stop contract; independent security closure is recorded before publication.
  • Full local-suite exception: concurrent release worktrees share the host. Applicable exact-head PR CI must pass before readiness; coordinator owns final combined regression checks. Real provider sessions and packaged/native clients remain unverified.

Latest correction fa040a03d0a666480815c5b77aa483af5e072164 includes current dev efc20e700b6fce67578e07b94336fc71aebc5a1c and the landed capacity guard. The shared helper now inspects dedicated code fields only; diagnostic type is never promoted, including absent, empty or malformed code. Independent same-reviewer security closure passed. Coverage includes 154 helper matrix cases, 64 diagnostic-consumer cases, six genuine-hard-code controls, serialized codes/types, HTTP status, retry headers and non-replayable markers. Existing cross-record, prefix, ambiguity and SSE cases remain unchanged. The initial red run contained 19 genuine regressions plus six incorrect policy-fixture expectations; corrected policy fixtures exercise their existing raw-response seam while consumer serialization is tested separately. Corrected focused tests and all local gates passed; this head requires its own applicable CI before readiness.

Checklist

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved failover decisions for account-model refusals in HTTP error responses, including supported nested error details. Eligible refusals can trigger a retry, while recognized policy and other hard-stop errors remain terminal.
    • Bare streaming error messages are classified independently of nested HTTP data, preventing unrelated quoted details from changing retry behavior.
    • Conflicting, malformed, or oversized error details no longer trigger unintended failover. Diagnostic metadata alone does not determine whether an error is terminal.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds bounded HTTP error-envelope parsing for Codex model refusals and hard-stop codes. Combo failure handling uses detected hard-stop codes, while bare SSE error messages exclude nested HTTP carrier inspection. Tests and documentation cover these classification rules.

Changes

Codex refusal classification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded refusal and hard-stop classification
src/combos/failover.ts, tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.ts
A shared parser handles status-400 messages up to 16,384 characters and strips one exact Provider error 400: prefix. Refusal classification can disable nested-response inspection. A new helper detects designated hard-stop codes, and failover decisions stop on such codes when no refusal option was supplied.
HTTP and SSE classification wiring
src/server/responses/core-combo-failure.ts, src/server/responses/combo-stream-preflight.ts, structure/providers-and-adapters.md, tests/server/server-combo-plan-model-refusal.test.ts
Combo failure handling prefers a detected hard-stop code over the normalized upstream code. Bare SSE error messages disable nested-response inspection. The documentation describes carrier precedence and parsing boundaries. Server tests cover the HTTP and SSE parsing distinctions and response formatting.
Failover and carrier tests
tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.ts, tests/routing/routing-policy-fallback.test.ts, tests/server/server-combo-plan-model-refusal.test.ts
Tests cover nested HTTP refusal carriers, conflicting codes and metadata, status and body limits, provider-error prefixes, hard-stop behavior, and SSE isolation from quoted HTTP JSON.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: luvs01

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fa040

This change has no established PR-introduced issue blocking merge. The existing SSE fallback concern remains separate follow-up work.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to fa040

Additional error responses can now permit fallback, while terminal refusals, cancellation, and retry limits remain stronger controls. No new security bypass was identified in the examined paths, but behavior after partial upstream execution has not been verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A provider controlling its failure body can influence fallback for requests routed through it. The examined classifier grants only a hop-or-stop outcome, not destination or credential selection; downstream effects remain constrained by declared combo targets and eligible, untried policy destinations. Thus the relevant exposure is another attempt carrying the request to an already configured destination.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Upstream text crosses into routing authority through a bounded status-400 parser and an anchored refusal pattern. Conflicting detail/error carriers stop fallback; a present root carrier remains authoritative even when nonmatching. Nested selection examines only one own, non-array response record, and bare SSE messages cannot borrow nested HTTP carriers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The examined transitions preserve abort checks, attempt identity settlement, non-replayable and spent-replacement stops, and per-target send-budget allocation. Policy fallback snapshots the original request body, excludes tried destinations, and restores routing metadata after each candidate attempt. These controls contain repeated dispatch locally, but do not prove that every external provider emits the refusal before partial execution.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep quoted SSE JSON out of the origin_rejected hard stop.

The origin_rejected substring check is pre-existing, but it still runs before comboFailureDecision uses the SSE refusal classification. A bare SSE error whose message contains quoted JSON with origin_rejected can therefore stop before its structured unsupported_model code permits a hop. The existing quoted-JSON SSE test uses upstream_no_response, so it does not cover this hard-stop code.

Maintainer integration decision: integrate the corrected follow-up into dev under the owner-authorized stabilization train and maintainer-integration policy. This is not self-approval. Same independent coordinator reviewer PASS at fa040a03d0a666480815c5b77aa483af5e072164 closes #6527/r4174492258 and the late #6540/r4174608360 code/type finding. The earlier7796PASS was explicitly withdrawn before merge and is not reused as final proof.

All seven changed files and downstream policy, SSE, normalization and serialization boundaries were reviewed. The shared bounded helper reads dedicated code fields only; diagnostic type never becomes a hard-stop code. Across-record actual hard codes retain precedence. Root carrier authority, mixed-envelope stops, finite evidence before truncation, cancellation/output/replay/send-budget rules and quoted SSE isolation remain intact.

Final lane evidence includes479focusedpasses across13files and59passes after final header assertions. The same-record matrix covers154 neutral-message combinations, with real route and policy controls. Invalid early fixture expectations are identified separately; they are not claimed as valid regression failures. No raw-message logging or public internal classifier field was added.

The reviewed head includes landed #6538 and dev efc20e700b6fce67578e07b94336fc71aebc5a1c. Current dev 3541261ac776679448664e98164add5fba203edd adds only the seven independently reviewed #6541 prose records; no runtime changes have intervened. Current-head line caps and map parity pass. Prior main97-test union proof belongs to the previous head; fresh head CI below governs this corrected head.

All currently published review threads are resolved. Final independent parallel regression and complete candidate CI remain pending before publication.

Hosted receipt: https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/actions/runs/37150517902, attempt 1, pull_request, tested head fa040a03d0a666480815c5b77aa483af5e072164 / base efc20e700b6fce67578e07b94336fc71aebc5a1c. Current reviewed dev base 3541261ac776679448664e98164add5fba203edd; conflict-free union tree a0acbad3ab27e806e562b8923684e0df0f7faf27. All four Linux shards and selected gates/storage/API/structure/Docker/keyring/npm-global jobs succeeded. Docs-site build was correctly unrequested and skipped for the exact seven-file runtime/structure/test diff (.github/workflows/ci.yml:1075); it is not claimed passing. Skipped full-platform suites are not claimed passing; final integrated lane=all remains required.
