Summary

  • OpenAI Structured Outputs require response_format.json_schema.name to match [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64} — the same charset already enforced on tool.function.name.
  • Spaces, punctuation, and names longer than 64 were forwarded; buyers saw an opaque provider rejection instead of a named next action.
  • Fail closed with invalid_response_format on /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses.
  • A 64-character legal name stays on mock echo.response_format.
  • Docs: caller next-action note plus APA 7th cite for OpenAI Structured Outputs name charset.
  • Unique tip a67264d on the fix(api): pop null json_schema description/strict omit-real before proxy #646 omit-real substrate. Do not merge this stack onto main. Land the unique commit after Full unit + Semgrep.

Reviewer next action

Review the unique tip (a67264d) only. Do not APPROVE the 151-file honesty stack as a main merge. Independent non-author APPROVE is still required for the unique commit.

…closed otherwise

Chat history: message-level audio and legacy function_call are null/empty omit
no-ops; non-empty fail closed with named errors (including tools passthrough).
Tip substrate from #577 assistant refusal/annotations honesty. Local full unit:
940 passed.
…ed otherwise

OpenAI fine-tune style message weight is not applied on this gateway.
Accept null/0/1 as honest no-ops; reject other types and values with
invalid_message_weight. Tip substrate from #578. Local full unit: 943 passed.
…ion role

Reject unsupported message keys with named unknown_message_fields (not silent
strip or tools-passthrough smuggle). Reject legacy function role with
invalid_message_role migration to tool. Tip substrate from #579. Local full
unit: 947 passed.
OpenAI partial-assistant prefix flag is not applied on this gateway.
null/false are honest no-ops; true and non-booleans fail closed with
invalid_message_prefix. Tip substrate from #580. Local full unit: 950 passed.
…therwise

Named invalid_max_tool_calls on /v1/chat/completions instead of opaque
unknown_fields. Aligns with Responses max_tool_calls honesty; gateway has
no multi-step tool loop.
…losed otherwise

Legacy /v1/completions treated max_tool_calls as unknown_fields. Accept the
key for named invalid_max_tool_calls (null/empty/whitespace omit-equivalent),
matching chat/Responses honesty so SDKs get a clear migration path.
SDK clients often send include_usage/include_obfuscation as JSON null.
Drop null flag values before validation so null (and null+false mixes)
match omit / all-false no-ops on chat, Completions, and Responses.
True flags remain fail-closed with invalid_stream_options.
…or Responses parallel true

SDK optional defaults often send function.strict and json_schema.strict as
null — treat as omit rather than type errors. Align Responses
parallel_tool_calls=true with chat by requiring a non-empty tools array.
SDK optional defaults often send description and parameters as JSON null.
Treat null as omit rather than type errors; non-null non-string/object
values remain fail-closed with invalid_tools.
OpenAI-style tool descriptions are at most 1024 characters. Over-long
descriptions fail closed with named invalid_tools so SDKs never believe a
truncated description was accepted.
SDK optional participant name blanks ("" / whitespace) are omit-equivalent
like JSON null. Non-string, over-long, and invalid charset names remain
fail-closed with invalid_message_name.
SDK optional defaults serialize omitted tool.function description/parameters/strict
as JSON null. Accepting those keys without popping them is not omit-equivalent:
proxy_completion forwards the body and several providers reject null parameters.
Pop in place so passthrough matches omit; keep non-null wrong types on invalid_tools.
Also pop response_format.json_schema.strict null. Tip substrate from #614.
Local full unit: 989 passed.
…n keys

SDK optional defaults serialize omitted response_format.json_schema
description/strict as JSON null or blank. Leave those keys and the
gateway forwards them; several providers reject strict: null.
Pop in place so passthrough matches omit. Unknown inner keys and
non-string descriptions stay invalid_response_format.
HTTP echo tests cover chat and Responses. Docs cite OpenAI structured
outputs and IETF JSON Schema 2020-12 in APA 7th.

Drive _validate_chat_response_format from exercise_request_body so
Hypothesis and Atheris share the omit-real + [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64} name
invariants. Successful parses must keep a legal name and must not
forward null/blank description or non-bool strict.

Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES on the unique tip (COMMENT event — cursor[bot] PRs reject REQUEST_CHANGES)

Reviewed b09aac3..133d70d only (a67264d charset + 133d70d fuzz). The 151-file honesty stack below b09aac3 is substrate. Do not merge this stack onto main. Do not APPROVE the unique commit until the ASCII charset is actually enforced.

Unique tip is not SOUND

_validate_chat_response_format documents OpenAI Structured Outputs [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64} but implements str.isalnum(). Python isalnum() accepts Unicode letters and digits, so café, 名前, and Arabic-Indic ١٢٣ still pass the gateway. proxy_completion forwards them and the buyer still sees an opaque provider 400 — the honesty hole this tip claims to close.

The request-body fuzz invariant copies the same isalnum predicate, so Hypothesis will lock the Unicode accept in.

Buyer next action after the fix

Send response_format.json_schema.name that matches [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}. If the name uses spaces, punctuation, or non-ASCII letters/digits, expect 400 invalid_response_format from this gateway — fix the client payload, then retry. Do not wait for a provider 400.

Residual (not this landing)

Official Responses text.format remains invalid_text. Land that as its own unique tip after this ASCII check. Do not fold #639/#640 onto this tip.

Independent non-author APPROVE is still required after the ASCII check and Unicode HTTP cases land.

str.isalnum() is not [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. café, 名前, and ١٢٣ all pass this predicate and fail re.fullmatch(r"[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}", name).

That is the buyer hole this tip claims to close: the gateway forwards the name and the provider returns an opaque 400 instead of invalid_response_format.

Require ASCII before isalnum, or re.fullmatch(r"[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}", name). Keep the named invalid_response_format next action. Do not expand this landing to rewrite substrate tool.function.name call sites.

This invariant copies the Unicode-accepting isalnum rule. After the validator is ASCII-strict, this assert must match [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64} or Hypothesis will treat a Unicode accept as success and hide the regression.
