Summary

  • [Bug]: no SSE fallback after an established Codex WebSocket dies mid-turn (prelude-timeout half resolved) #4191 is about Codex turns that die through the proxy with codex websocket closed before a Responses terminal event (close 1006 ...). Since feat(responses): persist content-free Codex WS upstream stage records (#4191) #4427 and 42988a169 that death carries a content-free stage record and settles as an honest 502, and nothing sends the turn again: once the create frame has left, the WebSocket transport never replays, because the turn may already be running upstream. What was still missing is the fallback for a socket that opens and then dies.
  • That is the same unknown state as an HTTP connection that resets before its head, and the repo already has an answer for it. feat(retry): opt-in replay of a pre-response reset for self-contained Responses sends #4942 and fix(responses): gate post-header reset recovery on SSE protocol state #4989 let an operator opt in with providers.<name>.retryOnReset: one replacement per logical request, only for a self-contained body, decided in src/lib/request-resend-gate.ts. This PR asks that gate about a socket that closed or errored under its create frame before any Responses event. Nothing changes for a provider that has not opted in.
  • The exchange only records what happened. For a close or a transport error, failStream marks the 502 it already settles with the stage the exchange reached (markCodexWsSocketDeath): pre-header when nothing came back, protocol-prelude when frames arrived but none was a Responses event. Silence keeps its 504 and is never marked. A drop after a relayed event keeps the errored 200 body. A native steering or injection exchange is never marked, because its channel may already have sent continuation frames on that socket and the create frame alone no longer describes the turn.
  • The passthrough dispatch asks once, at the end of the recovery loop, beside the SSE row. Every leg above already lets that 502 through, since it is non-replayable. The send budget is checked before the gate, which claims the grant last, so a replacement the request cannot fund leaves the grant unspent. The replacement is one HTTP send, never a second socket, logged the way the two HTTP rows log theirs. It is recorded as connection-reset on the same attempt, next to the dead socket's codexWsStage.
  • The replacement's answer is settled by settleOperatorReplacement, the rule fetchWithResetRetry already applied after spending the grant, moved out so both rows share it: a status that invites another send becomes the upstream_reset_replay_refused refusal, and any other failure keeps its status and is marked non-replayable. A replacement that throws settles as the same refusal. The answer then goes round the loop like any other, and the SSE row finds the grant spent.
  • reasoningEffortRejectionText now skips a non-replayable answer, as the Console Go and opaque-blob peeks already do. Without that, a spent replacement's 400 effort rejection started a downgrade send, from this row or from the pre-header one.
  • Why at the end of the loop and not inside the exchange: the socket dies while fetchWithTransientRetry is still awaiting it, and that helper only charges its sends when it returns. A replacement bought from inside the exchange would read the budget one send short, and the helper would treat the replacement's answer as its own to retry.
  • sendAmbiguousReplacement is the SSE row's replacement send moved into a helper, unchanged, so both rows send the same way.
  • Docs: structure/transports/responses-wire-shapes.md (the WS contract paragraph, whose "errored SSE body" wording predated the 502 settle, and the stage record note), structure/transports/responses-failover.md (the gate section and the replay boundary), server.md (the pre-response paragraph no longer says these statuses are never retried, and the retryOnReset paragraph covers the socket) and the retryOnReset row of providers.md in all eight locales. INV-RESEND-02 needs no change.
  • Known gap, not fixed here: a 2xx replacement whose stream then fails with zero output. In a failover combo the preflight projects that terminal into a fresh 503 with no marker, so the combo sends the turn to its next target after the grant was spent. The pre-header and SSE rows have had the same gap since Rework #4942 and #4989 into one ambiguous-resend gate with one grant per request #5342, and this row reaches it the same way. The fix belongs at the request level, a "replacement spent" fact on the shared execution budget that combo failover checks, since the 200 passes through several new Response objects before the combo sees it. I will send that as a separate PR with its own regression test. The replay boundary section of the structure doc now names the gap.

Verification

On dev at bd3049edb, the base of this PR, with the pinned Bun 1.4.0 (node_modules/.bin/bun):

  • Driven red first: the new tests/responses/ws-ambiguous-resend.test.ts, 16 tests. On untouched dev the file does not load, because it imports the new codexWsSocketDeathStage. With that import and the exchange cases taken out, the seven handler cases for the new behaviour fail there (a 502 where one HTTP replacement should serve the turn, no HTTP send, a 502 where the refusal belongs). Three guard cases pass on both sides by design: no grant, a stored turn and a replacement the budget cannot fund, which leaves the grant claimable. With only the reasoningEffortRejectionText line reverted, the effort case fails: the downgrade fires, opens a second socket and ends in a 502. Swapping the budget and gate checks fails the budget case, and dropping the steering exclusion fails the steering case.
  • The 35 test files around the change (ws-*, reset replay, replay refusal, resend gate, send budget, upstream retry, passthrough, opaque recovery, effort downgrade) with --isolate, in 12-file batches: 1020 pass, 0 fail.
  • Full suite with CI's flags, on the same change at an earlier base, d7f8fad0e. Since then it was rebased onto bd3049edb: fix(responses,usage): bundle L5 continuation, retry and usage boundary work #5608's edits to passthrough-dispatch.ts sit elsewhere in the file, and docs(structure): split oversize docs and describe every source area #5596 moved the structure sections this PR edits into two new files, so the edits moved with them. Every batch of shards 1/4 to 4/4 ran as scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh slices them (12 files per batch, bun test --isolate --timeout 60000, CI=true), past failing batches, with the four shards in parallel on one macOS machine under heavy outside load: 28391 pass and 7 fail across 1509 files. Three batches hit the 300 s batch limit. No failing or timed-out batch contains a changed file. Rerun on their own, eight of the ten affected batches pass, including the three that timed out. The other two fail the same way on untouched dev: codex-runtime.test.ts (treats missing persisted and resolved versions as the same selection) and the stall observer samples only an identified silent suite case of macos-serial-lanes.test.ts, a shell-harness timeout.
  • The handler cases run with codexAccountMode: "direct". On the pool path the no-third-send property rests on the marker checks the pool predicates already make, not on a test in this PR.
  • cd docs-site && bun run build: 497 pages.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan, git diff --check and bun test tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts: passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Providers configured with retryOnReset can now retry certain Codex WebSocket failures that occur before the first Responses event. The replacement is sent once over HTTP, subject to existing eligibility and retry limits.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Preserved appropriate failure responses for silent connections and ineligible retries, preventing additional sends when a replacement attempt fails.
  • Documentation
    • Updated configuration and transport references across supported languages to explain the retry behavior and its limitations.

…died unanswered

A Codex socket that closed or errored under its create frame, before any
Responses event, settles as a non-replayable 502 and nothing could send the
turn again. That is the same unknown state as an HTTP reset before the head,
so the operator's retryOnReset grant now answers it the same way: the
exchange marks the settle with the stage it reached, and the passthrough
dispatch asks the resend gate once, at the end of the recovery loop, and
sends one HTTP replacement. The send budget is checked before the gate
claims, and the replacement's answer is settled by the rule
fetchWithResetRetry already used, now shared as settleOperatorReplacement.
reasoningEffortRejectionText now skips a non-replayable answer, so a spent
replacement's effort rejection no longer starts a downgrade send.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A Codex WebSocket close or transport error after the create frame but before a Responses event can now enter the ambiguous resend flow. When the resend grant and send budget permit it, the proxy sends one HTTP replacement. Tests and documentation cover the behavior and its limits.

Changes

Codex WebSocket recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record pre-response socket deaths
src/server/responses/codex-ws-wire.ts, src/server/responses/codex-ws-exchange.ts, src/lib/request-resend-gate.ts
The exchange records the projected failure stage for a socket close or transport error before a Responses event, except when native control is present. The wire module exposes the recorded stage to the recovery path.
Authorize and send one HTTP replacement
src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts, src/lib/upstream-retry.ts, src/server/responses/core-opaque-recovery.ts
The recovery path checks the recorded stage, resend grant, and send budget. It uses a shared HTTP-only replacement helper and settles the replacement response. Non-replayable responses skip the reasoning-effort body peek.
Validate and document recovery
tests/responses/ws-ambiguous-resend.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/*, docs-site/src/content/docs/{fr,ja,ko,ru,tr,zh-cn,zh-tw}/reference/configuration/providers.md, structure/transports/responses-*
Tests cover socket-death stages, silence, steering exchanges, resend authorization, replacement failures, and send limits. Documentation describes the one-time HTTP replacement and its restrictions, including that silence remains a 504 and native steering or injection turns are not replaced.

이 변경은 Codex로 가는 웹소켓이 질문을 보낸 뒤, 답의 첫 조각이 오기 전에 끊길 때를 다룹니다.

지금은 그때 502로 끝나고, 프록시는 같은 질문을 다시 보내지 않습니다. 서버가 이미 답을 만들기 시작했을 수 있어서, 또 보내면 같은 일이 두 번 돌 수 있기 때문입니다.

운영자가 그 제공자에 retryOnReset을 켜 둔 경우에만, 이번 변경은 그 끊김을 "응답이 오기 전에 연결이 끊긴 것"과 같이 봅니다. 그래서 허락된 횟수 안에서 HTTP로 한 번만 다시 보냅니다. 웹소켓을 다시 열지는 않습니다. 아무 응답 없이 시간만 지난 504는 그대로입니다. 답을 받기 시작한 뒤의 끊김도 그대로입니다. 조향이나 주입처럼, 그 소켓으로 이어지는 말이 더 나갔을 수 있는 교환도 다시 보내지 않습니다.

다시 보낸 결과가 또 재시도를 부르는 상태(5xx 등)면 거절로 바꿉니다. 400처럼 이유를 보여 줘야 하는 상태는 그 상태 그대로 두고, 그 답으로 추론 강도를 낮춰 또 보내지는 않습니다. 옵션을 끄면 예전과 같습니다.

src/lib/upstream-retry.ts:453 - 대체가 200이면 "다시 보내지 마" 표시를 붙이지 않고 그대로 돌려줍니다. 그 200 뒤에 이어져야 할 답이 글자 하나 없이 끊기면, 콤보는 그걸 새 5xx로 만들고, 표시가 없는 그 5xx를 보고 다음 대상으로 같은 질문을 또 보냅니다. 한 번 더 보내라는 허락은 이미 쓴 뒤입니다. 작성자가 structure/transports/responses-failover.md:284 에 적어 둔 구멍이고, HTTP 쪽 두 길도 같은 구멍입니다. 이 PR은 웹소켓 길을 그 구멍에 하나 더 연결합니다.

structure/transports/responses-failover.md:294 - "이번 릴리스는 그 상태 코드를 옮기지 않는다"고 한 다음 문장이, 옵션을 켠 제공자는 그 502를 HTTP로 한 번 바꿀 수 있다고 합니다. 502가 그대로인지, 한 번 바뀌는지, 한 문단이 두 가지를 말합니다.

tests/responses/ws-ambiguous-resend.test.ts:205 - 테스트는 직접 계정만 봅니다. 계정 풀에서 HTTP 대체가 나간 뒤 세 번째 전송이 막히는 경우는 이 파일에 없습니다. 원래 502를 막는 검사는 src/server/responses/core-codex-account.ts:231 에 있고, 그 파일은 이번 변경에 없습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

빈 200 답이 콤보를 다음 대상으로 보내는 구멍을 이 PR과 같이 둘지, 작성자가 말한 다음 PR(요청 쪽에 "대체를 이미 썼다"를 남기는 일) 다음에 합칠지.

응답 이벤트 전에 소켓이 닫히면 닫힘 코드가 1006이든 정상 종료든 같이 한 번 더 보냅니다. 정상 종료도 포함할지.

너의 추천

옵션 기본값은 꺼짐이라, 켜지 않은 제공자는 동작이 그대로입니다. 콤보 장애 조치를 쓰는 제공자만, 이 PR만 넣으면 "한 번만 다시 보낸다"가 빈 답에서 깨집니다. 콤보를 당장 쓰지 않으면 합쳐도 됩니다. 구조 문서 294행은 합치기 전에 "504와, 답을 받기 시작한 뒤의 끊김은 그대로다. 이벤트 전에 닫힌 502만, 옵션을 켰을 때 HTTP로 한 번 바꾼다"로 고치면 됩니다.
