docs(devlog): recover the #4546 cost-guard roadmap and locate the send-budget owner - #4602
Conversation
Four claims were wrong: the #2981 helper is not the opt-in part and Codex passthrough gets a fresh allowance per leg; the same-request account resend is retryCodexPoolOnAlternateAccount, not applyFailureFailover; continuation repair is already covered on the policy path while empty-completion, rebuildAndRefetch, compact and generic OAuth hops are not; and Retry-After is already shortened by local caps, so treating it as a lower bound is a behavior change. A 3-send ceiling would also break the 3+1 recovery the plan measured.
…capes it handleResponses already owns a request-scoped transient budget and documents itself as covering recovery refetches, but the Codex passthrough legs sit in an earlier scope and pass neither attempts nor onSendsConsumed, so each takes a fresh default of 3. That is the source of the measured 4/7/12, and hoisting the owner is the smallest first step.

Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Change: Other Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR only updates a planning document, so nothing in production changes today. However, the plan itself states two incompatible send-ceiling rules for the retry/failover budget, and following the wrong one in a future implementation could break the existing alternate-account recovery path. It is worth reconciling this contradiction (and the two smaller documentation gaps around staged enforcement and the pool-wide retry-ratio definition) before treating this roadmap as ready to implement from. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Correct the 401-to-5xx send count
For the ordinary stored-Pool Codex path, a 401 causes one direct refresh replay at src/server/responses/core.ts:5674-5699; if that replay returns a 5xx, codex401ReplayKind === "stored" makes sameAccountOnly true at lines 5973-5984, so the alternate-account function refuses another send. That sequence therefore uses two physical sends, not seven. If seven describes a more specific reset/combo scenario, name those prerequisites rather than making 401-then-5xx the table-test expectation.

Update the source anchors to match the reviewed tree
At this commit, these four fetchWithTransientRetry calls begin at core.ts:5495, :5577, :5797, and :5892, while the listed lines point to unrelated statements. Several later anchors are stale too: applyFailureFailover is at routing.ts:2332, the continuation budget use is at core.ts:8313, the floor is at core.ts:7560, and noteAttemptSend starts at request-log.ts:1316. Because this is explicitly a diff-level implementation plan, regenerate the anchors against the committed tree so implementers reach the claimed seams.

Reconcile the ceiling with the stated total-budget rule
When wp4 is implemented from this plan, this instruction permits three same-account sends plus an additional alternate send, contradicting the governing rule at lines 19-21 that caps the logical request at three total upstream sends. Separate counters do not resolve that invariant; they change the policy to four total sends. Specify whether the alternate must consume the total budget (for example, two same-account sends plus one move) or revise the rule and its planned tests to define the new four-send ceiling.

Make the staged budget contract explicit.
Math.max(1, budget - used) still gives a later leg one attempt after the shared budget reaches zero. Step 0 removes the fresh-per-leg default, but it does not enforce the one-total-send rule at Line [19] through Line [21]. State that step 0 is an intermediate scope fix and make the zero-budget refusal in step 3 a prerequisite for the final ceiling.

Resolve the conflicting send ceilings.
Line [20] and Line [21] define at most three total sends, including one cross-account move. This section states that the current path needs three same-account sends plus one alternate and requires separate limits. These are incompatible implementation contracts. Replace the earlier rule or mark it superseded, then state the final same-account and cross-account limits once.

Define the pool-wide retry-ratio contract.
The plan names a cap but does not define its numerator, denominator, time window, pool or account scope, or action at the limit. The verification section checks per-request send counts only, so it cannot prove this cross-request control. Add the formula, scope, refusal behavior, and a multi-request overload test.

Summary
Documentation only. Recovers the #4546 follow-on roadmap, which was written during the delivery of #4580/#4589 and then stranded: both commits were made on a branch that was squash-merged, so the plan never reached
dev.It also records what the wp4 investigation found in the code, which changes the first implementation step:
handleResponsesalready owns a request-scoped transient-retry budget (src/server/responses/core.ts:7554-7560), and its own comment says it is declared there "so BOTH the initial send and the later recovery refetches share it." That is true for the adapter path. It is not true for the Codex passthrough legs at:5488,:5570,:5790and:5885, which sit in an earlier scope in the same function and pass neitherattemptsnoronSendsConsumed— so each one takes the helper's fresh default of 3. The measured amplification (4 sends on a default Codex 5xx, 7 on 401-then-5xx, 12 across a three-target combo) comes from that gap rather than from a missing mechanism, which makes hoisting the existing owner the smallest first step instead of building a parallel one.The plan was also corrected against two independent audit rounds, which failed an earlier draft and found four wrong claims in it:
transientRetryPolicyForis. The helper itself is used unconditionally.retryCodexPoolOnAlternateAccount, notapplyFailureFailover, which only selects and promotes.rebuildAndRefetch, compact, generic OAuth hops, and the Kiro/Cursor adapter retries.Retry-Afteris already shortened by local caps, so treating it as a lower bound is a behavior change to argue for rather than a gap to close.Two consequences for the design are recorded: a flat ceiling of 3 sends would break today's working 3-same-account-plus-1-alternate recovery, so the two budgets must be separate; and removing the floor is three sites rather than one, because both retry helpers re-floor with
Math.max(1, attempts)while continuation, the combo hop and 429rebuildAndRefetchcurrently depend on that floor to make progress.Verification
