Summary

A native Responses send can fail with the caller having observed nothing in two different places: the connection dies before any response head, or it dies after the head while the SSE body has carried only control events. #4942 handled the first and #4989 handled the second, and each bought its own replacement send. A request that hit both would send a possibly-executed inference twice more, which is the exact duplicate the refusal exists to prevent. This reworks the two into one change.

src/lib/request-resend-gate.ts is the single gate. It derives stage, cause, permission and send class from the table #5266 landed in request-failure-model.ts and adds only the operator override that table already names for refused-ambiguous. Three bounds apply at once: the provider opts in with providers.<name>.retryOnReset, the request has to be one reset-replay.ts can judge self-contained (store: false, complete input, no server-side continuation state, client-executed tools only), and the whole logical request holds one replacement grant no matter how many stages ask. The grant lives on the request's execution budget beside the physical-send ledger, so a combo child that derives its own scope draws on the same counter instead of holding a second.

Concretely, before and after for a provider with retryOnReset: {} whose connection resets before the head and whose replacement stream then dies after response.created:

  • before this PR (the two branches merged): two replacement sends, each charged by a different counter
  • after: one replacement, charged once, and the second stage answers ambiguous-allowance-spent and settles as the existing 429 upstream_reset_replay_refused

Four things changed relative to the original branches, and they are worth a reviewer's attention:

  • replayResets: number became a claimAmbiguousResend() callback on ResetRetryOptions. A count spread into every dispatch leg is a count every leg holds, and the rotation, refresh and same-target 429 legs all carry the same turn.
  • The post-header gate no longer requires response.created. The preflight reports the stage it observed — headers-only before any parsed event, protocol-prelude after response.created, semantic-output once anything else arrives including a payload the inspector could not parse — and the table gives headers-only the same commitment, so refusing it was refusing a row the table permits.
  • The 401 replay leg is routed through fetchWithTransientRetry. It previously rejected straight into transportFailureResponse, which answers 502, and 502 is the status the Codex client re-sends the whole turn on.
  • retryOnReset.attempts became retryOnReset.replacements (1..2, default 1). The semantics genuinely changed: it is no longer a per-leg total send count but the number of duplicate inferences one logical request may risk. The old key is rejected rather than silently ignored.

The deferred SSE preflight only wraps a body when the provider opted in, so a proxy that configures nothing buffers nothing and its time to first byte is unchanged.

Carries #4942 (Fred Amartey) and #4989. Both remain open; neither is superseded by merging this.

#4191 and #5180 are not closed by this PR. Both are recorded with evidence in devlog/_plan/260920_round2_followups/050_r4_remainders.md:

  • [Bug]: no SSE fallback after an established Codex WebSocket dies mid-turn (prelude-timeout half resolved) #4191: the gate deliberately excludes WebSocket bodies, so the durable threading is untouched. The investigation did find that classifyCodexWsFailure reports after-response-started — projected as semantic-output — as soon as relayedEvents > 0, and the exchange counts response.created as a relayed event. The failure model puts response.created in protocol-prelude. Fixing it needs a counter, and CodexWsStageRecord derives from CodexWsFailureStage by Omit, so a naive addition lands in a persisted record whose read-back whitelist would reject every existing row. It belongs with the lane that threads failureStage/failureCause into the record.
  • Command Code 429 rate_limit_exceeded exhausts retries on long muse-spark turns (v2.59.0) #5180: a received 429 is headers-only with cause rate-limit, which the table already answers permitted and funds from the transient class — it needs no grant and no override. The reported symptom is that rateLimitRetryPolicyFor returns null for every provider but the OpenCode Go destination, and that keyCooldowns cannot be written by a single-key provider at all.

Verification

Static review plus exact-head hosted CI. Local suites, individual test files, bun run typecheck, builds, installs and live ocx execution were NOT RUN — this lane verifies through hosted CI only. bun run structure:check and bun run privacy:scan were also NOT RUN for the same reason; the structure edits were made against structure/AGENTS.md and structure/manifest.json by hand, and no new source area or manifest entry was needed because both new modules sit under the already-mapped src/lib/ and src/server/.

Checks done by reading:

  • File-size ratchet: no touched file is in tests/fixtures/file-size-baseline.json except src/config.ts, which sits at its cap of 460 and is modified in place on one existing export line, so it stays at 460. passthrough-dispatch.ts grows to 1762 against the 2000 threshold for untracked files.
  • Union-exhaustive classes: RESEND_REFUSALS is a frozen roster with the type derived from it, and a test asserts every declared member is reachable and every produced refusal is declared, so the roster cannot carry a dead name or miss a live one.
  • No source constant or count is restated. The gate tests iterate REQUEST_FAILURE_STAGES × REQUEST_FAILURE_CAUSES and ATTEMPT_RECOVERY_KIND_ROSTER and compare against resendPermission, resendSendClass and causeForRecoveryKind rather than against written-out expectations.
  • New test files are registered in both scripts/test-layout/layout.json and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json.
  • No GUI file is touched, so the screenshot gate does not apply.

Regression coverage added: tests/lib/request-resend-gate.test.ts (the gate over the full cross product, and the one-grant-per-request property that is the whole point of the rework), tests/lib/upstream-retry.test.ts (the claim is asked once, never when there is no send left, never for a replay-safe operation, and a non-reset failure after a replacement settles as the refusal rather than a rejection), tests/lib/execution-budget-permits.test.ts (parent and derived child share one grant), tests/responses/responses-reset-replay.test.ts (the body judgment and the lazy allowance), tests/routing/combo-stream-preflight.test.ts (the observed stage at each boundary) and tests/server/management-provider-reset-replay.test.ts (the write-boundary validation, including that retryOn429 keeps its own field name now that both validators share one formatter).

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.

The refusal body is synthesized and never carries the upstream exception, which can hold credentials or request data. The management write boundary redacts secret-shaped unknown field names and provider names, and a test pins that. The replacement send re-checks credential currency through selectionIsCurrent before dispatch and re-runs the Codex reserve guard, so it cannot go out on a credential the request has since moved off. retryOnReset is off unless the operator writes it, and it degrades to absent on a malformed hand edit rather than sending the operator through invalid-config recovery.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds the opt-in retryOnReset policy for native Responses requests. It centralizes ambiguous-resend authorization, shares replacement claims across request legs, classifies SSE failure stages, and supports bounded pre-header and post-header recovery.

Changes

Ambiguous resend recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy contract and configuration
src/types/*, src/config/*, src/providers/key-failover.ts, src/server/auth-cors.ts, src/server/responses/reset-replay.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/*, tests/server/*, tests/responses/*
Adds retryOnReset with enabled and replacements values. Validation accepts replacement limits from 1 to 2. Replay applies only to self-contained requests with client-executed tools and no prior output or tool call.
Shared allowance and resend gate
src/lib/request-execution-budget.ts, src/lib/request-resend-gate.ts, src/lib/upstream-retry.ts, tests/lib/*, structure/*
Adds a shared ambiguous-resend claim to the request budget. The gate authorizes or refuses recovery by stage, cause, replayability, and remaining allowance. Spent replacements return the marked replay-refusal response.
Stream-stage classification and recovery
src/server/relay.ts, src/server/responses/combo-stream-preflight.ts, tests/routing/combo-stream-preflight.test.ts
Classifies SSE failures as headers-only, protocol-prelude, or committed output. Opaque payloads and output-bearing response.created events commit output. Deferred recovery can replace only protocol-safe, uncommitted stream failures.
Passthrough and send-budget integration
src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts, src/server/responses/fetch-helpers.ts, src/server/responses/request-send-budget.ts, tests/responses/responses-passthrough-transient-policy.test.ts
Wires the shared claim into initial sends and recovery legs. Post-header replacements use HTTP/SSE, verify current credentials, remain within transient send capacity, and pass each observed stage through the resend gate.

이 PR은 “연결이 끊겼는데, 클라이언트가 아직 답을 못 본 경우”에만 요청을 한 번 더 보낼지 정하는 문을 하나로 모아요. 예전에는 머리(헤더) 앞에서 끊긴 경우(#4942)와 머리 뒤에서 SSE만 조금 받은 경우(#4989)가 각각 따로 다시 보냈어요. 같은 요청이 두 번 다 걸리면 추론이 두 번 더 나갈 수 있었어요. 지금은 request-resend-gate.ts 한곳에서 보고, 요청 예산에 있는 교체 허락을 딱 한 번만 써요. 공급자가 retryOnReset을 켠 때만 동작하고, 몸통이 다시 보내도 같은 추론만 하는 요청인지(store: false, 서버 이어가기 없음, 클라이언트 도구만)도 같이 봐요. base는 dev예요. #4191·#5180은 이 PR이 안 닫아요.

방향과 게이트·예산·테스트 짜임은 좋아요. 그런데 아래 한 줄이 그대로면, 켠 공급자에서도 교체가 사실상 안 나가요. 로컬 스위트는 안 돌렸다고 적혀 있고, 이 테스트가 CI에서 먼저 깨질 거예요.

src/server/responses/reset-replay.ts ambiguousResendAllowanceFor — 두 번째 인자를 요청 몸통으로 보고 selfContainedResponsesBody(inboundBody)를 바로 불러요. 그런데 passthrough-dispatch.tsrequestIsSelfContained(함수)를 넘기고, tests/responses/responses-reset-replay.test.ts() => true / () => false를 넘겨요. 함수는 몸통 객체가 아니라서 selfContainedResponsesBody는 항상 false예요. 그러면 게이트는 늘 ambiguous-request-not-replayable로 거절해요. 테스트는 selfContained === true와 “게으른 판정”(만들 때는 안 부르고, 게이트가 볼 때 부름)을 기대해요. 시그니처·구현을 콜백(+ getter)으로 맞추거나, 호출부를 몸통으로 바꿔야 해요. 지금 타입은 unknown이라 컴파일은 통과해요.

src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts / combo-stream-preflight.tsreplayReadErrors 결과가 accepted에서 read-error로 바뀌어요. 콤보·opaque 경로는 failed만 특별 취급하고 나머지는 응답을 그대로 써서, 당장 깨지진 않아 보여요. 다만 kind === "accepted"만 보는 코드가 생기면 조용히 빠질 수 있어요.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

이 PR이 합쳐지면 #4942·#4989는 같은 일을 두 갈래로 하던 옛 PR이에요. 본문은 “둘 다 열린 채, 이 PR이 대체한다고 쓰지 말자”고 해요. 합친 뒤 둘을 닫을지, 남은 조각만 이슈로 남길지 정해 주세요. retryOnReset.attempts는 거절되고 replacements만 받아요. 옛 키를 쓴 설정이 있으면 로드 시 기능이 꺼진 것처럼 보여요.

너의 추천

ambiguousResendAllowanceFor를 테스트·호출부와 같은 계약으로 고치세요. 두 번째 인자는 () => boolean이고, selfContained는 그 콜백을 읽는 getter여야 해요. 그게 통과하기 전에는 합치지 마세요. 합친 뒤에는 #4942·#4989를 닫거나, 닫지 않을 이유를 PR/이슈에 한 줄로 남기세요. types.ts·config.ts는 재수출만이라 이 PR에서는 그대로 둬도 돼요.

Requesting changes on exact head 862502add9411111dc335ee90cfd4aa370aebab4.

src/server/responses/reset-replay.ts:93-103 treats the second argument to ambiguousResendAllowanceFor as a parsed Responses body and eagerly calls selfContainedResponsesBody(inboundBody). However, src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts:722-733 and the new tests pass a lazy () => boolean callback. Because the parameter is typed as unknown, TypeScript accepts this, but the function object is not a request body, so selfContainedResponsesBody always returns false. The opt-in is therefore functionally disabled and every otherwise eligible retry is refused as ambiguous-request-not-replayable.

Please make this contract consistently callback-based and preserve the intended laziness, for example by accepting requestIsSelfContained: () => boolean and exposing selfContained through a getter that invokes it only when the gate reads it. Then rerun replacement exact-head CI. The current head already has failing test shards, so it must not merge as-is.

Re-reviewed replacement head 4c94b3384cebc1ef365b1860ae6e14cb533633cb. The requested blocker is fixed correctly: ambiguousResendAllowanceFor now accepts () => boolean, exposes selfContained through a getter, and therefore preserves both the caller memoization and no-opt-in laziness while making the old function-as-body mistake a type error. The follow-up cancellation change also avoids issuing a guaranteed-rejected cancel against a body locked by the in-flight preflight; the settled selected body remains the cleanup owner.

I am leaving the prior requested-changes state in place until replacement exact-head CI completes. This branch also inherits the current dev failures now being repaired in #5338, so after #5338 lands it must be refreshed and rerun before approval or merge. No additional code blocker found in the follow-up diff.

Use a site-relative link for the retryOnReset reference.

Line 72 links with providers.md#provider-entries-ocxproviderconfig. Every other cross-page link in this documentation set uses a site-relative, extensionless URL — for example /reference/configuration/routing/ and /guides/providers/#approval-reviewer-per-provider on the providers page, and /reference/configuration/server/#claude-code from the locale pages. A relative .md target resolves against the built route /reference/configuration/, which produces /reference/configuration/providers.md rather than the published /reference/configuration/providers/ route. The anchor slug itself is correct.

As per coding guidelines: "Use repository-relative links for repository files and site-relative links for documentation pages where the existing site does so."

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate successful replacement metadata.

refetchAfterProtocolSafeReset rejects 401 and JSON error responses because it requires replacement.ok and an SSE-compatible content type. However, replacement.ok accepts any 2xx response, while the callback does not require the replacement status to match the original. A 200 SSE response can therefore be replaced by a 201 SSE response, while the wrapper still exposes the original status and headers. Compare the replacement status and effective content-type contract with the original before selecting it.

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.
…he shared gate

#4942 and #4989 arrived as two features and are one. Both ask whether a native
Responses send that failed with the caller having observed nothing may be sent
again; they differ only in where they ask it. #4942 asks before any response
head, #4989 after a head whose SSE body carried only control events. Against the
landed stage table those are the same row, so this is one rework rather than two
merged branches.

The provider opts in with providers.<name>.retryOnReset, the request has to be one
reset-replay.ts can judge self-contained -- store: false, complete input, no
server-side continuation state, only client-executed tools -- and the whole
logical request holds one replacement grant, whichever stage asks for it.
replacements counts duplicate inferences the operator accepts, not retries and not
sends, which is why its ceiling is two rather than a send budget.

Pre-header: fetchWithResetRetry takes a claim callback rather than a count. A
count handed to each leg is a count each leg holds, and the rotation, refresh and
same-target 429 legs all carry the same turn. Once a replacement has gone out the
leg can only settle as the refusal -- including when a later attempt fails some
other way, because throwing there becomes a 502 at the caller and a 502 is what
the Codex client re-sends four more times. The 401 replay leg is routed through
the same helper for exactly that reason; it used to reject straight into that path.

Post-header: the SSE preflight now reports the stage it observed rather than a
boolean, and the gate decides. headers-only before any parsed event,
protocol-prelude after response.created, semantic-output once anything else
arrives -- including a payload the inspector could not parse, because an
unreadable frame may be output. #4989 required response.created; the table gives
headers-only the same commitment and therefore the same answer, so it is admitted
rather than refused. A response.created whose snapshot already carries output
items is not a prelude. The replacement send is charged to the same request
counter every other send uses and recorded with the kind the gate derived its
cause from, so one authorisation is one reason and one send.

The deferred preflight only wraps a body when the provider opted in, so a proxy
that configures nothing buffers nothing and its first byte is unchanged.

structure/transports/responses.md said a pre-header reset is always the terminal
refusal and that only a replay-safe operation opts into reset retries. Both
sentences are now wrong in the same place, so the reset-retry section gains the
gate beside it, the combo streaming boundary says that native post-header
recovery shares the same reader and reports a stage, and the core-module table
gains reset-replay.ts and the grant it hands to request-send-budget.ts.

docs-site documents retryOnReset as a provider field in the English source and in
all seven locale tables, and the server reference paragraph that explains the 429
refusal now says how an operator opts out of it and what the grant covers.

The devlog records the two remainders honestly. Neither #4191 nor #5180 is
reached by this gate, and both investigations found something worth not losing:
the WebSocket stage projection reports semantic-output for a failure carrying
only response.created, and the #5180 symptom is a missing policy default plus a
cooldown a single-key provider cannot currently write.
…ry send site

The source oracle balanced `fetchWithTransientRetry(` occurrences against the
call sites that take `attempts` from the provider resolver. The post-header
replacement reaches upstream through `refetchAfterProtocolSafeReset` instead, so
it drew on the resolver without being counted as a site and the equality broke at
6 against 5.

Counting both helpers keeps the equality exact and widens what it protects: a
second send helper added on the fixed constant now fails here rather than
balancing silently.
`ambiguousResendAllowanceFor` declared its second parameter as `unknown` and
handed it straight to `selfContainedResponsesBody`, while the dispatch site
passed the memoized predicate. A function is not a record, so the judgment was
always false and every opted-in reset refused as
`ambiguous-request-not-replayable`. The feature was inert and nothing in the
transport tests could see it, because they never reach the body judgment.

The parameter is now `() => boolean` and the property is a getter, so the
laziness the call site wanted is real and passing a body instead of a predicate
is a typecheck failure rather than a silent false.

Also stop cancelling the original body from the deferred wrapper once the
preflight owns its reader: that body is locked, so the cancellation rejected and
was swallowed. `initialize` already releases whichever body it selected when it
observes a cancelled downstream, and that is the one that has to be let go.
responses-core-modules.test.ts derives the owner graph from the source imports
and compares it to the inventory. A new sibling under src/server/responses/ has
to be in one of the two lists or the comparison fails, which is the point: a new
owner must not disappear from source-oracle coverage by being absent.

It belongs in the inventory rather than the separately-owned boundary set,
because structure/transports/responses.md already lists it in the per-request
core-module ownership table. The 2000-line coverage now applies to it too, and
passthrough-dispatch.ts remains the largest owner at 1762.
…error

The new case asserted that a read error after output commits reports
`semantic-output`. It cannot: `preflightComboStreamResponse` returns the body as
`accepted` the moment output commits, so the error happens on the caller's side
of the boundary and no stage is ever reported.

Assert that instead, which is the stronger safety statement -- a committed stream
never reaches the resend gate at all, rather than reaching it and being refused
there -- and keep the prefix and the original error observable to whoever reads
the returned body. The stage helper stays total, with a note that its committed
branches exist so a later change to that loop cannot promote a committed stream
by omission.
The stage a read error is reported at is only half the guarantee. What decides
permission is that a stream which committed output never gets a replacement
offered at all, and the seam that decides it is the deferred wrapper rather than
the preflight.

Assert it there: a prelude-only stream consults the recovery callback exactly
once and at a stage whose `stageCommitment` is `nothing-observed`, and an
output-bearing stream never consults it. The commitment is read from the failure
model instead of compared against a written-out stage name, so a stage added to
the model later cannot pass this by being unlisted.
…domain

The layout map's regex seeds place a new test file on the day it is added, and
the tooling oracle fails when a seed disagrees with the explicit entry, because
that seed would put the next similarly named file in the wrong directory.
`request-` seeds to `usage`, so `request-resend-gate.test.ts` pointed there
while the explicit table said `lib`.

Renamed rather than pinned: `pinnedOverrides` is for the historical files whose
name says one thing and whose imports say another, not a place to park a file
added today. `ambiguous-resend-gate` matches no seed, which is the case the
oracle tolerates, and it says what the gate is about -- the ambiguous row of the
stage table, which is precisely not the transient one.

Updates both layout maps and the INV-RESEND-02 binding in structure/overview.md.
