fix(openai): drop tool-schema patterns Python re cannot compile - #4072
Conversation
OpenAI-family upstreams validate a function tool's JSON Schema `pattern`
by compiling it with Python `re`, which has no Unicode property escapes.
A schema authored in JavaScript is therefore refused whole:
Invalid schema for function 'Artifact': '^(?!__.*__$)[^\p{Cc}...]$'
is not a 'regex'.
Claude Code 2.1.265 ships exactly such a pattern on the `field` parameter
of its built-in Artifact tool, and built-in tool definitions go out on
every request, so the whole GPT route fails for those clients whether or
not the tool is ever called.
`pattern` is advisory for the model and is not enforced on the arguments
a tool is called with, so drop only the patterns the destination cannot
compile. An escaped backslash before `p{` stays, since Python compiles
that fine, and a property literally named `pattern` is left as data.
Applied in normalizeFunctionToolSchema, the one tool-schema hook on the
Responses passthrough that runs outside the forward-provider guards, so
it covers the ChatGPT backend, generic openai-responses, Azure, and the
WS codex transport; and in the existing sanitizer slot of
toolsToChatFormat for the chat-completions serializer.

Add a chat-format wire test for the new strip.
Line 1334 changes what toolsToChatFormat sends to every chat destination, including the xAI and Moonshot branches at lines 1329-1333. The current coverage proves the helper in isolation and proves the Responses passthrough body. No test asserts the serialized chat body.
Add a focused test in tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-hardening.test.ts. Build a request with one tool whose parameters.properties.field.pattern contains \p{Cc}, then assert the serialized tools[0].function.parameters drops that pattern and keeps a lookahead pattern. Assert the xAI branch too, because normalizeXaiToolParameters runs before the strip and can return undefined.
Based on path instructions: "A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem."

Extract the shared schema walk instead of copying stripResponsesOnlyEncryptedMarker.
Lines 110-161 duplicate lines 25-71 almost verbatim. The frame types, the array branch, the null-prototype rebuild, and the name-bag rule are identical. Only three things differ: the dropped counter, the pattern predicate, and the identity return at line 160.
Two consequences:
- Any future correction to the name-bag or literal-value rule must be applied in two places. The two copies will drift.
openai-chat.tsLine 1334 chains both functions, so every tool schema is walked and rebuilt twice per request.
Extract one walker that takes a per-key decision, then express both strippers through it. That also allows a single pass at the chat call site.
♻️ Sketch of the shared walker
type KeyVerdict = { action: "drop" } | { action: "literal" } | { action: "walk" };
function rewriteSchema(
node: unknown,
inNameBag: boolean,
decide: (key: string, value: unknown) => KeyVerdict,
): { value: unknown; dropped: number } {
// single explicit-stack walk, shared by both strippers
}
export function stripUnicodePropertyPatterns(node: unknown, inNameBag = false): unknown {
const { value, dropped } = rewriteSchema(node, inNameBag, (key, v) =>
key === "pattern" && typeof v === "string" && usesUnicodePropertyEscape(v)
? { action: "drop" }
: SCHEMA_LITERAL_VALUE_KEYS.has(key)
? { action: "literal" }
: { action: "walk" });
return dropped === 0 ? node : value;
}The guideline "Do not combine unrelated responsibilities to avoid creating another large shared module" still holds: the walker stays inside this module and keeps one responsibility.

Maintainer fix round on top of 87447a7 (independent review: GO-WITH-FIXES, 0 blockers). The runtime scope was sound, but the chat side had no test that would fail if it regressed. Every new chat-side assertion called stripUnicodePropertyPatterns directly, so reverting the normalization at src/adapters/openai-chat.ts:1334 would have left this PR green while the wire silently went back to shipping patterns Python cannot compile. Added a regression that drives buildRequest and asserts tools[0].function.parameters: the Artifact-like unescaped \p{Cc} pattern is gone, the compilable lookahead sibling survives byte-for-byte, and required is untouched. Also narrowed the responses-tool-schema.ts comment. Saying pattern is advisory and unenforced is not accurate — strict Structured Outputs can enforce it. The tradeoff is still sound and the comment now says why: an upstream that enforces pattern could not have compiled the dropped pattern either, so it refuses the whole schema before generating any argument. The choice is a dropped constraint versus a lost request, not a silently weakened one. Left alone deliberately: the duplicated walkers and the patternProperties name-bag keys, since no defect was reported against them. Verification: remote CI approved on this exact head (34325974852 Cross-platform CI, 34325974807 React Doctor); local typecheck/tests NOT RUN (local, user restriction). |

Summary
OpenAI-family upstreams validate a function tool's JSON Schema
patternby compiling it with Python'sre. Pythonrehas no support for Unicode property escapes (\p{...}/\P{...}), so any pattern using them is refused before the request is routed:The pattern is valid ECMA-262 — it comes from a client that authors its schemas in JavaScript. Claude Code 2.1.265 introduced exactly this one on the
fieldparameter of its built-inArtifacttool. Built-in tool definitions ship on every request, so this takes out the whole GPT route for Claude Code users on 2.1.265+: the first message of any session fails, whether or not the tool is ever called.Reproduced against a local proxy — identical request, only the
patternkey differs:\p{...}patternhttp=200\p{...}patternhttp=400 ... is not a 'regex'Same string, three engines:
Changes
src/adapters/responses-tool-schema.ts— newstripUnicodePropertyPatterns, sitting next tostripResponsesOnlyEncryptedMarkerand following the same explicit-stack walk (schema depth is caller-controlled; recursion would turn a deep schema into a stack overflow on the request path). It returns the input by identity when nothing was dropped, so callers keep their existing "did this change?" checks. The name-bag / literal-value key sets are now shared by both strippers and renamed accordingly — both need to tell "the keywordx" apart from "a property someone namedx".src/adapters/openai-responses.ts— applied innormalizeFunctionToolSchema. This is the one tool-schema transform in the passthroughbuildRequestthat runs outside theisCanonicalOpenAiForwardProviderguards, so a single call covers the ChatGPT backend (authMode: "forward"), genericopenai-responsesgateways, Azure viacontractParent, and the WebSocket codex transport, which re-parses the very string this path serializes.src/adapters/openai-chat.ts— composed into the existing sanitizer slot intoolsToChatFormat, since the chat-completions upstream is a separate serializer built fromparsed.context.tools.Not sanitized at
src/claude/inbound-content-options.ts: that layer is pinned as a verbatim forwarder bytests/claude-integration/claude-inbound.test.ts:697, and fixing it there would cover Claude-Code-origin traffic only. Not atsrc/responses/parser-tools.tseither — the passthrough adapter ships_rawBodyand never readsparsed.context.tools.Why it's safe
patternis an advisory hint for the model; neither this proxy nor the upstream enforces it on the arguments a tool is actually called with. Dropping only what the destination cannot compile keeps every tool's shape — the same trade #50 made for the validation keywords Bedrock rejects.The strip is narrow by construction:
^[a-z0-9_-]{1,64}$survives, and so does a lookahead — Pythonresupports those, and Claude Code's siblingcollectionpattern is exactly that case;\\p{2}is an escaped backslash followed by a quantifiedp, which Python compiles fine. A substring scan for\p{would discard that working pattern, so the check tracks escaping instead;$defsentry, orpatternPropertieskey literally namedpatternis data, andconst/default/enum/examplespayloads are left whole;tool_choicereconciliation is untouched.Not in scope:
patternPropertieskeys are themselves regexes and would hit the same validator, but no failure has been observed there and removing a key would change the schema's structure rather than an advisory hint. Left alone deliberately — happy to extend if a maintainer wants it covered.Testing
