Summary

Roadmap items 7 (retry stage table) and 14 (one event model) want the same substrate, so this lands it as one module rather than two definitions that typecheck separately and contradict each other in the merge.

src/lib/request-failure-model.ts states three things once:

  • Stage — how far a failed exchange got, ordered by what the downstream caller observed: pre-header, headers-only, protocol-prelude, semantic-output, side-effect, terminal. A turn that settled carrying no output did not reach terminal; it stalled at protocol-prelude, because the caller saw no answer.
  • Cause — one closed dictionary. rate-limit, quota-exhausted, policy-refusal and ciphertext-refusal are four separate members because their remedies are four different actions: wait, change account, change the prompt, drop stale encrypted state.
  • Resend permission — derived from three small per-member facts, not written out as a stage-by-cause matrix. A matrix that size has to be re-derived by hand whenever a member is added, and the cell nobody revisited is how two individually correct branches merge into a wrong table.

Once the caller has observed output or an externally visible effect, no cause permits an automatic resend. A cause whose upstream execution state is unknown is not made replayable by having budget left. refused-ambiguous forbids an automatic resend; it does not forbid a bounded recovery a maintainer explicitly opted into, which is why funding follows the disposition rather than the permission — the reset replay, the empty-completion rebuild and the transient 5xx ladder all really send and all still name the allowance they draw on.

The module adds no record store. The durable shapes stay in src/usage/log.ts and projections read them structurally.

Two restatements removed, both live defects. AttemptRecoveryKind was written twice, as a union and as the read-back whitelist normalizedAttempt filters against; a member added only to the union compiles, is written to disk, and is dropped on the next read, so the row loses the field that says why it recovered. And recoveryClass() ended in default: return "other", so a recovery kind added later compiled cleanly and vanished into a bucket an operator cannot act on. Both are now derived and total.

A relayed ciphertext rejection now recovers. An OpenAI-compatible gateway puts the real payload inside its own error message, so the single-shot sanitized rebuild never matched behind one and a turn carrying a stale reasoning blob failed outright. Exactly one identity is admitted through the wrapper: an embedded invalid_request_error carrying invalid_encrypted_content. The generic classifier is deliberately not re-run on the embedded payload, and a gateway envelope is now decided only by that payload — the pre-existing anchored-wording checks scan the whole message, and a gateway quotes the upstream's message inside its own, so a relayed caller mismatch would otherwise have satisfied the #4469 identity and gained a resend the strict check exists to withhold.

Operator-visible metric changes. quota, policy and ciphertext are new recovery label values. Two series change meaning, both corrections: opaque-blob-rejection moves from payload to ciphertext (the payload was fine, the stale encrypted state was not), and console-go-upload-retry moves from payload to transient (the gateway accepts the byte-identical body seconds later, so nothing about the payload was wrong). Label cardinality is unchanged in kind: every value still comes from a frozen roster.

Relates to #4191 and #5180. Both are addressed in part only and are deliberately not closed: the WebSocket failure projection and the rate-limit/quota separation land here, while the SSE fallback and the shared cooldown are transport and routing changes that are not in this branch. Carries work from #5245, narrowed; the original pull request is left open for the coordinator.

Dispositions for everything considered and not landed — #4942, #4989, #2366, #3748, #3983, #5063, and a dashboard roster defect found while mapping the substrate — are recorded in devlog/_plan/260920_meaning_preservation_batch/020_lane_c.md with reasons.

Verification

Static source review plus hosted CI at this exact head. Per the batch execution constraints for this lane, no local suite, individual test, typecheck, build, install or live run was performed, and none may be read as passing.

Checked statically on this branch:

  • every assertion in the two new test files was re-derived by hand from the declared tables; the only recovery kinds whose Prometheus class changes are the two named above.
  • every satisfies Record<Union, ...> added here is total over its roster, and every value it produces is a declared member of the target vocabulary.
  • ATTEMPT_RECOVERY_KIND_ROSTER is declared before both its derived type and its runtime Set, so the derivation introduces no temporal-dead-zone hazard.
  • scripts/test-layout/layout.json and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json agree key for key, and both new test files sit in the domain they are registered to.
  • no file touched here carries a tests/fixtures/file-size-baseline.json cap. The new ciphertext cases went into a sibling file rather than into responses-opaque-blob-recovery.test.ts, which sits 148 lines under the new-file threshold; src/server/index.ts has one line of headroom and is untouched.
  • two restated counts that the diff would have invalidated were found and derived instead of bumped: the Prometheus sample count in management-metrics-export.test.ts (previously the literal 453, now computed from the closed rosters and additionally asserted to be unchanged by 64 requests carrying distinct identities), and an "eight coarse classes" sentence in structure/gui-and-management-api.md.

The regressions are written so a successful request cannot satisfy them. The stage-by-cause cases loop over the declared rosters, so they have no cell to miss and cannot go stale when a member is added; the ciphertext cases are mostly negative, because recognising the wrapper is the easy half and admitting only the coded identity through it is the half a broad implementation gets wrong.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Recovery metrics now distinguish quota, policy, and ciphertext failures from other recovery outcomes.
    • Request failures are classified by observed stage, failure cause, and whether retrying is permitted.
    • Relayed ciphertext-rejection responses from supported gateways are recognized for opaque-blob recovery.
  • Documentation

    • Management API documentation now lists recovery metric-label values and their meanings.
    • Request metrics documentation now references the maintained recovery-label vocabulary.

The recovery kinds were written twice: as a union and as the read-back whitelist
that normalizedAttempt filters against. The two are not interchangeable. A member
added only to the union compiles, is written to disk, and is then dropped on the
next read, so the row loses the one field that says why the attempt recovered.

Declare each vocabulary as a frozen roster and derive both the type and the Set
from it, so the declaration cannot drift from itself.

P2 Badge Map quota-triggered rotations to the quota class

The new quota metric class is unreachable because every AttemptRecoveryKind, including oauth-account-429, maps to a cause other than quota-exhausted. In the Responses passthrough rotation path (src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts:1194-1239), an account is rotated for any eligible 429 and the resend is recorded as oauth-account-429, so a quota-exhaustion recovery is exported as recovery="rate_limit" while recovery="quota" remains permanently zero. Introduce a distinct quota recovery kind or preserve the classified failure cause through the attempt so the promised rate-limit/quota split reflects actual requests.

Track output-bearing delivery separately from relayed events. response.created is not a metadata control frame, so codex-ws-exchange.ts increments relayedEvents for it. classifyCodexWsFailure then selects after-response-started, and this projection records semantic-output even though the shared contract classifies response.created as protocol-prelude.

lidge-jun and others added 5 commits September 20, 2026 14:41
Roadmap items 7 and 14 want the same substrate: item 7 divides a failure into
pre-header, headers-only, protocol prelude, semantic output, side effect and
terminal and decides resend permission per stage; item 14 wants one cause
dictionary spanning logical request, attempt, physical send and terminal.
Defined separately they typecheck on each branch and contradict each other in
the merge, which is the class that blocked 2.60.0, so they are one module.

The resend decision is derived from three small per-member facts -- what the
caller observed at a stage, what a cause proves about whether the origin ran the
turn, and what a resend would have to change -- rather than written out as a
stage-by-cause matrix. A matrix of that size is a restatement: it has to be
re-derived by hand whenever a member is added, and the cell nobody revisited is
how two correct branches merge into a wrong table.

The module adds no record store. Durable shapes stay in src/usage/log.ts and
projections read them structurally. It stays a leaf: both imports are types,
erased at runtime, so nothing here reaches a request path that lacked it.

The tests run over the full stage-by-cause cross product, so none of them can be
satisfied by a request that returned 200 and none can go stale when a member is
added.
…tionary

recoveryClass() ended in `default: return "other"`, so a recovery kind added
later compiled cleanly and then disappeared into a bucket an operator cannot act
on. Key the projection on the shared cause instead and make it total, so a
missing member is a typecheck failure.

This also separates four refusals that used to be indistinguishable in the
counter. Waiting out a rate limit, changing account on quota exhaustion,
changing the prompt on a policy refusal and dropping stale ciphertext are four
different operator responses; `quota`, `policy` and `ciphertext` are new label
values so the metric can tell them apart. An opaque blob rejection moves from
`payload` to `ciphertext`, which is the one existing series whose meaning
changes: the payload was never the problem, the stale encrypted state was.

Label cardinality is unchanged in kind. Every value still comes from a frozen
roster, so no user, model, account or request identifier can reach a series.
…lary

The WebSocket transport was the one surface whose failures could not be compared
with anything else, which is the reported symptom in #4191: an unanswered
socket, a socket carrying only control frames and a socket that died mid-reply
all reached the user as the same sentence.

This is a projection, not a second classifier. classifyCodexWsFailure stays the
only place that reads the counters; this restates its answer as the stage and
cause the durable log, the metrics projection and the HTTP path already use.

It does not relax the transport's own rule. The no-replay-after-send contract in
codex-ws-exchange.ts holds regardless of what the projection returns; the shared
table independently agrees that everything past before-send is refused.
An OpenAI-compatible gateway does not forward the upstream error envelope; it
puts the real payload inside its own message string. The single-shot sanitized
rebuild keys on that envelope, so behind such a gateway it never matched and a
turn carrying a stale reasoning blob failed outright instead of being resent
without it.

Recognise exactly one identity through the wrapper: an embedded
invalid_request_error carrying invalid_encrypted_content. The generic classifier
is deliberately NOT re-run against the embedded payload. Doing so would also
admit the code-less unverifiable-ciphertext wording, the #4469 caller mismatch
and the two xAI decoder strings, each of which was accepted on evidence about
how one specific upstream words its own rejection -- and a gateway in between is
not that evidence.

The embedded object is found by counting braces outside string literals, because
the payload legitimately contains braces and escaped quotes and the gateway
appends prose after the closing brace. The scan is bounded so an
upstream-controlled string cannot decide how much work the classifier does.

Nothing else moves: the rebuild stays single-shot, still requires the send to
have carried a blob, still requires a 4xx on the Responses adapter, and is still
recorded as opaque-blob-rejection, which the shared table classifies as a
ciphertext refusal repaired rather than repeated.

The regression cases are mostly negative, because recognising the wrapper is the
easy half and admitting only the coded identity through it is the half a broad
implementation gets wrong.

Co-authored-by: cmdy <zhang_lin66@foxmail.com>
INV-RESEND-01 states the rule the substrate exists to hold: once the caller has
observed output or an externally visible effect no cause automatically permits a
resend, and an unknown upstream execution state is not made replayable by having
budget left. It is bound to the cross-product test, so deleting that file fails
structure:check rather than quietly unbinding the rule.

The management-api reference now lists the closed recovery label set, including
that a rejected opaque reasoning blob counts as ciphertext rather than payload.

The lane document records what was carried, what was deferred and why, including
one defect found while mapping the substrate and deliberately not half-landed:
the GUI declares its own recovery-kind roster with nine of the durable thirteen
members, so four kinds render without a label. Fixing it needs strings across ten
locale catalogs and a screenshot this branch cannot produce.

🟡 Minor · Classify response.created as protocol prelude, not semantic output. · codex-ws-wire.ts:230-236

src/server/responses/codex-ws-wire.ts:230-236
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Classify response.created as protocol prelude, not semantic output. response.created is written to the caller, but it is not an output-bearing event. The shared stage contract places it in protocol-prelude. Because relayedEvents counts every non-control event, classifyCodexWsFailure currently selects after-response-started, and the projection returns semantic-output. This produces an incorrect failure classification in codexWsFailureDetail. Track output-bearing events separately before applying the projection. Do not change the projection globally, because actual output events must remain semantic-output.

This does not change resend behavior: codex-ws-exchange.ts explicitly forbids replay after the request is sent, regardless of this classification.

Replace the contradictory terminal example.

src/lib/request-failure-model.ts defines terminal as settlement after the answer reached the caller. Lines 64-66 instead state that a terminal rate-limit failure committed nothing downstream and is safe to resend.

Use headers-only as the uncommitted rate-limit example. This keeps the test rationale consistent with the stage vocabulary.

Proposed correction
-   * settle without ever producing output. A terminal that failed on a rate limit committed nothing

이 PR은 실패한 요청을 한 가지 말로 정리하는 기반을 넣습니다. 실패가 “어디까지 갔는지(stage)”, “왜 실패했는지(cause)”, “다시 보내도 되는지(resend)”를 src/lib/request-failure-model.ts 한곳에서 정합니다. 예전에는 같은 뜻을 여러 곳에 따로 써서, 한쪽만 고치면 타입이 통과해도 실제로는 틀린 표가 생기는 문제가 있었습니다. 이번엔 표 전체를 손으로 다시 쓰지 않고, stage의 관찰 정도와 cause의 증거·성향에서 재전송 허가를 계산합니다.

같이 고친 실사용 결함도 있습니다. OpenAI 호환 게이트웨이(LiteLLM 등)가 암호문 거절을 자기 에러 메시지 안에 감싸면, 예전엔 복구가 한 번도 안 됐습니다. 이제는 그 껍질 안에서 invalid_request_error + invalid_encrypted_content만 인정하고, 껍질 전체를 일반 문장 검사에 넘기지 않습니다. 그래서 게이트웨이가 인용한 다른 문구 때문에 잘못된 재전송이 열리는 길을 막습니다. 메트릭에서는 quota / policy / ciphertext 라벨이 생기고, opaque-blob-rejection은 payload→ciphertext, console-go-upload-retry는 payload→transient로 의미가 바뀝니다(종류 수는 그대로). Codex WebSocket 실패도 같은 어휘로 투영합니다. base는 dev이고, #4191·#5180은 일부만 다루며 닫지 않습니다. #5245 작업은 좁혀 가져왔고 원본 PR은 조율용으로 열어 둡니다. 작성자 말대로 로컬 스위트는 돌리지 않았고, 호스트 CI에 맡깁니다.

라인 - src/server/responses/codex-ws-wire.ts projectCodexWsFailure / after-response-started: response.created만 중계돼도 relayedEvents > 0이라 semantic-output로 찍힙니다. 같은 모듈 주석과 공유 어휘는 response.createdprotocol-prelude(제어 이벤트)로 둡니다. 재전송 동작은 WS가 이미 send 이후 재전송을 막아서 안 바뀌지만, HTTP와 맞춰 비교하려는 로그·메트릭 단계는 틀어집니다. 출력 이벤트를 따로 세는 편이 어휘와 맞습니다.

라인 - tests/lib/failure-stage-model.test.ts (대략 64–66행 주석): “terminal + rate-limit은 커밋이 없어서 다시내도 된다”고 적혀 있습니다. 모델에서 terminalanswer-delivered라 항상 refused-committed입니다. 예시는 headers-only 같은 “아무것도 안 본” stage로 바꿔야 주석이 표와 같습니다.

라인 - 관련 PR #5245 ([WRONG BRANCH] …): 이 브랜치가 좁혀 가져간 원본인데 아직 open입니다. 머지 후 landed-via로 닫을지, 조율자가 남길지 한 줄만 정해 두면 중복·무효 PR이 덜 쌓입니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

WS에서 response.created만 온 실패를 이 PR에서 protocol-prelude로 고칠지, #4191 남은 일로 미룰지. 메트릭 라벨 의미 변경(특히 opaque-blob / console-go)을 운영·대시보드에 어떻게 알릴지. #5245를 이 PR 머지와 함께 닫을지.

너의 추천

어휘 한곳으로 모은 방향과 LiteLLM 감싸진 암호문 복구는 타당합니다. base dev도 맞습니다. 가능하면 WS stage 오분류를 이 PR에서 짧게 고치거나, 안 고치면 #4191에 “control-only vs output-bearing”으로 명시하세요. 테스트 주석 모순은 싼 수정이라 같이 고치는 편이 낫습니다. #5245는 머지 후 자신 있으면 landed-via로 닫으세요. CI가 전부 초록인지 확인한 뒤 머지하세요. preview deploy 이야기는 생략합니다.

#5266 landed a stage table that answers "may this request be sent again" from how
far the caller observed the exchange and why it failed. For a stage whose
commitment is nothing-observed and a cause whose evidence is unknown it answers
refused-ambiguous, and it names the only thing that may override that answer: a
narrowly scoped recovery a maintainer opted into and bounded.

Two separate overrides is one too many. A request that resets before the response
head and again after it would buy a replacement send on each side, and the second
one is exactly the duplicated inference the refusal exists to prevent.

request-resend-gate.ts is the single place the override is applied. It derives
stage, cause, permission and send class from request-failure-model.ts and adds
nothing of its own except the grant, which it claims at the moment it authorises
rather than earlier -- so a caller cannot ask without paying, and a committed or
futile failure refuses without draining the replacement a later ambiguous reset
would have been entitled to. The cause can be asked in terms of the
AttemptRecoveryKind the send will be recorded as, which is what keeps the reason
in the log and the reason the gate weighed from being two different values.

The grant itself lives on the request's execution budget, beside the physical-send
ledger, because it has to be shared in exactly the same places: a combo child
derives its own budget from the parent's ledger, and two counters would let one
logical request replace an unknown-state send twice. It is not a send budget --
an authorised replacement still has to fit inside remainingBaseSends like
everything else.

Registers the three test files this branch adds in both the layout map and the
independent expectation fixture.
