Summary Fix Responses replay when a routed destination does not support native Codex custom tools. Resumed or compacted conversations can contain historical custom_tool_call / custom_tool_call_output items even when the current live tool catalog no longer declares that tool. The routed compatibility path previously derived custom-tool lowering primarily from the current catalog, which allowed those historical native items to reach incompatible destinations unchanged. This change separates historical protocol compatibility from live tool authorization: - Lower historical custom_tool_call / custom_tool_call_output pairs when the destination explicitly denies Responses custom tools, even when the historical tool is absent from the current live catalog. - Do not add historical tools back to the live declaration or authorization set. - Preserve existing behavior when custom-tool support is true or unspecified. - Request full replay rather than guessing when a historical result cannot be mapped safely. - Fail closed on invalid identities, collisions, or residual native custom-tool protocol items before contacting a destination that denies them. - Map routed custom-tool compatibility failures to a structured HTTP 400 rather than allowing an unhandled provider-facing failure. This was observed with xAI Responses, but the fix is capability-driven and applies to any routed destination that explicitly denies Responses custom tools. ## Verification Focused regression: bun test tests/responses/custom-tool-compat.test.ts tests/responses/responses-custom-tool-historical-replay.test.ts Result: - 37 pass - 0 fail - 110 expect() calls Linux CI-equivalent validation on an isolated Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 workspace using Bun 1.4.0, matching the repository's current .github/workflows/ci.yml Linux test contract: - scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh 1/4: pass - scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh 2/4: pass - scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh 3/4: pass - scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh 4/4: pass - storage-policy job equivalent: 9 pass, 0 fail, 85 expect() calls - api-usage job equivalent: 33 pass, 0 fail, 232 expect() calls - gates typechecks: pass - GUI tests: 2269 pass, 0 fail, 19250 expect() calls - Privacy scan: pass - Generated ocx skill surface check: pass - Release helper syntax check: pass - CLI help smoke: pass Overall result: CI_EQUIVALENT=PASS. The exact Git tree validated on Linux was: 91ebb04b49e7b4cfd2b0163ead1eea03bacc637f The full CI-equivalent baseline was validated on PR head: 5654b41 Current PR head: dc948dc Current-head validation on dc948dc:

  • bun test tests/responses/custom-tool-compat.test.ts: 33 pass, 0 fail
  • bun test tests/responses/responses-custom-tool-historical-replay.test.ts: 5 pass, 0 fail
  • bun run typecheck: pass
  • Linux CI-equivalent using Bun 1.4.0:

  • CodeRabbit / current-head review threads: no unresolved findings

The first shard-4 simulation attempt lacked GitHub Actions' GITHUB_SHA environment variable and failed one release-workflow fixture for that reason. That fixture passed 139/139 once GITHUB_SHA was supplied, and the complete shard 4 then passed all 32 batches.
Additional checks: - The current PR head contains the intended duplicate-call-id guard and regression coverage; unrelated local working-tree changes were not committed or pushed with it. - The PR is currently 10 commits behind dev, within the repository's accepted <=10-commit freshness window. ## Review readiness checklist This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met: - [x] All CI tests are green on my local testing. - [x] I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit. - [x] I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings. - [x] My PR is ready for review. ## Summary by CodeRabbit - New Features - Improved compatibility with destinations that do not support native custom tools by converting eligible historical tool calls automatically. - Preserved historical tool-call context during request replay and compaction. - Added final validation to prevent unsupported custom-tool data from being forwarded. - Bug Fixes - Invalid or conflicting custom-tool requests now return clear HTTP 400 errors instead of generic server errors. - Prevented unsupported custom-tool declarations and calls from being sent to destinations that reject them. - Added validation for malformed historical tool-call data.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change rewrites historical custom-tool protocol items for destinations that deny native custom tools. It validates final request bodies, maps compatibility failures to HTTP 400 responses, and adds unit and end-to-end coverage.

Changes

Custom-tool compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Historical custom-tool rewriting
src/responses/custom-tool-compat.ts
Historical custom_tool_call items become function_call items with JSON-stringified arguments. Matching outputs become function_call_output items. The rewrite handles namespaces, empty catalogs, compaction, idempotence, and unmapped outputs.
Final validation and error mapping
src/responses/custom-tool-compat.ts, src/adapters/openai-responses/passthrough.ts, src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts
The adapter validates the final body for denied custom-tool support. RoutedCustomToolCompatError maps to a structured HTTP 400 invalid_request_error response.
Compatibility and passthrough tests
tests/responses/custom-tool-compat.test.ts, tests/responses/responses-custom-tool-historical-replay.test.ts
Tests cover valid historical replay, namespaced calls, compaction, invalid inputs, duplicate identities, final-body rejection, outbound serialization, and end-to-end response handling.

리뷰 · 우선순위 58 / 80

대화를 이어 하거나 짧게 줄이면, 예전 기록 안에 커스텀 도구 호출이 남아 있을 수 있습니다. 지금 켠 도구 목록에는 그 도구가 없어도 됩니다. xAI처럼 "커스텀 도구는 받지 않는다"고 적힌 곳에 그 기록을 그대로 보내면, 상대는 그 칸을 모르고 거절합니다. 거절 문구는 "id가 없다"처럼 나와서, 진짜 이유와 다릅니다.

이 PR은 보내기 전에 그 예전 호출과 결과를 보통 함수 호출로 바꿉니다. 예전 도구를 지금 허용 목록에 다시 넣지는 않습니다. 상대가 커스텀 도구를 허용하거나, 허용 여부를 안 적으면 예전처럼 그대로 둡니다. 결과만 있고 짝 호출이 없으면, 빠진 이전 대화를 다시 보내라고 합니다. 그래도 커스텀 도구 칸이 남으면 상대에게 보내기 전에 400으로 막습니다. base는 dev입니다. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 변경은 아닙니다.

src/responses/custom-tool-compat.ts:328 - 이름이나 입력이 이상하면 보내기 전에 막습니다. call_id가 없거나 빈 문자열이면, 짝을 모을 때는 건너뛰고 바꿀 때는 검사하지 않습니다. 같이 있는 결과가 없으면 마지막 검사도 통과합니다. 그러면 id 없는 함수 호출이, 이번 고치려는 상대에게 다시 나갑니다.

src/responses/custom-tool-compat.ts:336 - 지금 목록에 같은 이름의 함수 도구가 있으면, 깨진 입력과 같은 문장 historical_item: custom_tool_call로 막습니다. 어느 호출인지, 이름이 겹친 건지, 입력이 글자가 아닌 건지 클라이언트는 알 수 없습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점
같은 이름의 함수 도구가 살아 있을 때, 옛 커스텀 호출을 400으로 막을지, 기록으로만 낮출지입니다. 막으면 이름이 겹친 대화는 이어 하기가 통째로 실패합니다. 낮추면 상대는 그 호출을 지금 선언된 함수로 볼 수 있습니다. PR은 아직 초안이고 준비 체크는 0/4입니다.

너의 추천
방향은 맞습니다. call_id가 없거나 빈 문자열인 옛 커스텀 호출도 보내기 전에 같은 400으로 막으세요. 이름이 겹친 경우와 입력이 깨진 경우는 문장을 나누세요. 그 다음 준비 체크를 채우고 초안을 푸세요.

src/responses/custom-tool-compat.ts:358
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Lower outputs only for historical custom calls.

calls contains both function_call and custom_tool_call items. If input contains a native function_call with call_id: "x" and a custom_tool_call_output with the same ID, this condition lowers the custom output to function_call_output. The final guard then accepts and forwards an output that does not belong to a lowered custom call.

Track custom-call IDs separately, and lower an output only when its ID belongs to a custom_tool_call. Otherwise, leave the custom output unchanged so validateFinalCustomToolCompatibility rejects it.

…tination denies them

Routed lowering collected only current custom declarations, so a compacted or replayed custom_tool_call leaked to xAI-like gateways as the native item type and came back as a misleading 422 missing id. Convert protocol-history items from the top-level input without expanding the live catalog, request full replay for orphan results, and fail closed before serializing leftovers.

… passthrough ratchet cap

openai-responses-passthrough.test.ts is already at its 4809-line ceiling. Keep the new wire fixtures in a responses-prefixed file so the layout seed resolves it without raising a cap.

Closing as superseded. The changes from this PR (head dc948dcff592fa2577edb8a6222aa20ef5af4e80, by @YotuAI) were carried with author credit into #5560, which was consolidated into #5608. #5608 merged to dev as 9579bbe. The carry was cherry-picked or reworked, not merged, so this branch's own commit history is not part of dev. I compared this head against current dev and found its behavior and tests present. That includes lowering undeclared historical custom tools, from all five commits.

This fix is on dev only. It is not in the stable v2.63.0 release and will ship in a later release. Thank you for the contribution.
