Summary

Follow-up to #5067. That PR fixed burst 429s on the main OpenCode Go dispatch, but the 429 users actually kept hitting comes from a different path: the web-search sidecar POST to the ChatGPT forward backend. runWebSearch made exactly one attempt, and the resulting failed tool result poisoned the query for the whole turn via failedQueries in loop.ts.

This adds bounded same-search 429 replays to src/web-search/executor.ts: 1 initial send + 2 replays. Retry-After is honored as a lower bound and capped by RETRY_AFTER_CEILING_MS (an over-ceiling instruction ends with the 429 instead of parking the search). Each wait releases the unread 429 body first; abort/timeout flows through the existing catch. Only the terminal status is recorded via recordOutcome.

Verification

  • bun test tests/web-search — 291 pass, 0 fail (13 files), including 3 new tests: burst 429 recovers on 2nd send, persistent 429 ends with the 429 after exactly 3 sends, Retry-After: 120 ends after exactly 1 send without parking.
  • bun run typecheck — clean.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed (code comment carries the contract; no user-facing behavior change beyond fewer failed searches).
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults (replay is same-request to the same backend; no credential handling touched).

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • All CI tests are green on my local testing.

  • I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit.

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Web searches now automatically retry temporary rate-limit responses.
    • Retries are limited and respect server-provided wait times, preventing unnecessarily long delays.
    • Persistent rate limits continue to surface an appropriate error after retry attempts are exhausted.
    • Rate-limit responses with excessive retry delays now fail promptly instead of waiting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The web-search sidecar now replays HTTP 429 responses up to three times. Retry delays use Retry-After and bounded backoff rules. New tests cover recovery, persistent 429 responses, and delays beyond the replay ceiling.

Changes

Sidecar 429 Replay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded sidecar retry policy
src/web-search/executor.ts
At lines 6-13, the executor imports response-body release, backoff, sleep, and retry-ceiling helpers. Lines 45-60 define the three-send limit and delay bounds. Line 105 wraps the request in sendOnce. Lines 122-137 replay HTTP 429 responses, release unread bodies, wait with the shared abort signal, and stop when the delay exceeds the ceiling.
429 replay validation
tests/web-search/web-search-sidecar-429.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
The new tests verify recovery after one 429 at lines 45-54, bounded failure after persistent 429 responses at lines 56-64, and immediate failure for Retry-After: 120 at lines 66-74. The layout and fixture mappings classify the test under web-search.

… from retry log

The appended cases pushed web-search.test.ts past its file-size ratchet cap, so they move byte-for-byte to web-search-sidecar-429.test.ts with entries in layout.json and test-layout-expected.json. The retry warning no longer carries the raw query (CodeRabbit privacy finding on lidge-jun#5158); the terminal-failure line keeps it for diagnosis, as before.

Repository CI ran on this branch and the exact head b8b4671f14fbfe177607cb796fa011d1db7745ed is not green. test 1/4, 3/4, 4/4 and macos 2/2 pass, macos 1/2 was cancelled, and test 2/4 fails on a single assertion in tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts:212.

The offender is this PR's own growth:

{ "path": "tests/web-search/web-search.test.ts", "lines": 2843, "verdict": "GREW" }

The committed cap for that file in tests/fixtures/file-size-baseline.json is 2823, so the twenty lines added here cross it. Nothing about the 429 replay logic is being rejected — only where its regression lives.

Raising the cap is not an available fix. The ratchet is one-way by construction: updateBaseline lowers a cap when a file shrinks and never raises one, and tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts asserts that --update does not raise an existing cap. A baseline edit in this PR would be rejected by the same gate that is failing now.

The sanctioned path is to land the new regression in its own file inside the same domain directory, for example tests/web-search/web-search-burst-429-replay.test.ts. A new test file needs two registrations to satisfy the layout guard: an entry in explicit in scripts/test-layout/layout.json and a matching entry in tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json. tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts names whichever one is missing, so a single run tells you if either was forgotten.

Once the head moves, the workflow-approval gate resets and a maintainer has to start CI again. Ping here when you have pushed and I will approve the new run.

리뷰 · 우선순위 64 / 80

이 PR은 웹 검색이 ChatGPT로 나가는 옆길에서, 429(요청이 너무 많음)가 나오면 같은 검색을 다시 보냅니다. 처음 한 번에 재시도 두 번을 더해, 최대 세 번입니다. 서버가 "이만큼 쉬라"고 하면 그 시간을 지킵니다. 60초보다 길면 기다리지 않고 그 429로 끝냅니다. 기다리는 동안에는 읽지 않은 응답을 먼저 버립니다. 기록은 마지막 상태만 남깁니다.

#5067은 본 요청의 429를 고쳤습니다. 사용자가 계속 만난 429는 이 웹 검색 옆길이었습니다. 한 번 실패하면 loop.tsfailedQueries에 들어가, 그 턴에서는 같은 질문을 다시 검색하지 않습니다. 잠깐의 429가 검색 전체를 막았습니다.

base는 dev입니다. 지금 tip은 46195ac09b8b이고, package.json은 2.60.0입니다. 이 브랜치는 그 tip보다 커밋 3개 뒤에 있습니다. types.ts / config.ts 분리와는 겹치지 않습니다. 아직 draft이고, 준비 체크는 0/4입니다. 머리 커밋은 2613072입니다. 앞 커밋 b8b4671은 테스트를 web-search.test.ts에 붙여 파일 크기 검사에 걸렸습니다. 이번 커밋은 그 테스트를 tests/web-search/web-search-sidecar-429.test.ts로 옮겼고, 재시도 로그에서 검색 문장을 뺐습니다. 실패 로그에는 예전처럼 질문 앞 80자가 남습니다.

라인 tests/web-search/web-search-sidecar-429.test.ts searchWith - globalThis.fetch를 가짜로 바꾸고, 테스트가 끝나면 되돌리지 않습니다. 같은 폴더의 web-search.test.tsafterEach로 원래 fetch를 되돌립니다. 이 파일에는 그 줄이 없습니다. 파일마다 프로세스가 나뉘면 당장 깨지지는 않습니다. 한 프로세스에서 이어 돌리거나 이 파일에 테스트를 더 넣으면, 다음 검사가 가짜 fetch를 물려받습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • 429가 나면 같은 계정으로 최대 3번 보냅니다. 두 번째에 성공하면 앞의 429는 recordOutcome에 안 남습니다. 그 계정을 식히는 쪽에 중간 429를 알릴지, 마지막 상태만 알릴지 정해야 합니다.
  • 머리 2613072에는 전체 테스트 CI가 없습니다. hygiene와 enforce-target만 통과했습니다. 머리를 옮기면 워크플로 승인이 리셋됩니다. 크기 검사가 풀렸는지는 유지자가 CI를 다시 켜야 확인됩니다.
  • 준비 체크는 0/4이고, 이 PR은 draft입니다.
  • tip 46195ac09b8b보다 3커밋 뒤입니다. enforce-target은 통과했습니다.

너의 추천
draft로 두세요. fetch를 테스트 끝에 되돌린 다음 CI를 다시 켜세요. 초록이고 체크리스트를 닫으면 머지해도 됩니다. #5067과 다른 길이라 닫을 중복은 아닙니다. 봇은 머지하지 않습니다.

The forward backend throttles burst sidecar traffic, and a single 429 became a failed tool result that poisoned the query for the whole turn via failedQueries. 1 initial send + 2 replays; Retry-After is honored as a lower bound and capped by RETRY_AFTER_CEILING_MS, with an over-ceiling instruction ending in the 429 instead of parking the search.

The appended cases pushed web-search.test.ts past its file-size ratchet cap, so they move byte-for-byte to web-search-sidecar-429.test.ts with entries in layout.json and test-layout-expected.json.
