Summary

  • keep translated Chat reasoning intent intact while combo or policy routing is unresolved
  • restrict ingress empty-ladder stripping to an already concrete route
  • continue applying effort omission and mapping on each isolated combo attempt body
  • add a wire-level failover regression where an empty-ladder target fails and a capable target receives high
  • document the shared-intent/per-attempt boundary in ADR-0110

Verification

  • focused Chat combo wire regression: 1 passed, 0 failed, 8 assertions
  • first target retried three times without effort; second target received reasoning.effort: high
  • structure SSOT gate: passed
  • privacy scan: passed
  • checks ran one at a time with CPUQuota at 75% or lower, MemoryMax at 1536 MiB or lower, no swap, low I/O weight, and bounded task counts
  • full local suite and build were intentionally not run under the conservative host ceiling; exact-head CI remains required

Compatibility

  • direct concrete routes keep their existing ingress normalization
  • combo and policy targets still normalize unsupported controls before each send
  • the change preserves caller intent only until final target selection and adds no wire metadata
  • no Go counterpart was identified for this TypeScript Chat/Responses routing path; reviewer confirmation is requested before merge

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Chat requests now retain their requested reasoning effort across combo and policy-route failover. Providers that support the requested effort can receive it, while providers with no supported reasoning-effort options omit it.
    • Reasoning settings are no longer cleared prematurely for combo and policy routes, helping fallback providers receive the appropriate settings.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified how reasoning settings are handled for each failover attempt.

@lidge-jun @Wibias Please review the Chat ingress versus per-target reasoning normalization boundary. The regression proves an empty-ladder first target cannot erase effort for a capable fallback. @codex review

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Chat reasoning cleanup now skips combo and policy routes. Final route normalization removes effort for Chat requests when the selected route has an empty supported-effort ladder. Added tests and documentation cover reasoning effort across failover attempts.

Changes

Chat reasoning failover

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve reasoning intent for composite routes
src/server/chat-completions.ts, structure/decisions/ADR-0110-chat-reasoning-failover-intent.md, structure/transports/responses-failover.md
Reasoning cleanup skips combo and policy routes. The ADR and failover documentation describe retaining the shared request intent across attempts.
Normalize reasoning for each route

Chat normalization strips effort when a route has an empty supported-effort ladder. Tests cover normalization and combo and policy fallback attempts.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b5617

The new regression test needs an independent request for each route before the focused test workflow can reliably pass. Fix the fixture before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b5617

Fallback targets can now receive the caller’s requested reasoning effort when they support it. The inspected paths keep unsupported effort out of individual attempts and do not show expanded credential access. Full verification remains outstanding.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed behavior can affect outbound reasoning controls for configured targets of a Chat combo or policy route. The inspected policy-fallback path removes caller authorization and account headers when constructing a request for a different credential domain; no expansion of credential forwarding is established by this change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Caller-provided reasoning crosses from the translated Chat body into a concrete provider attempt. At that boundary, final-route normalization removes unsupported effort from both adapter options and the raw request body; policy fallback obtains later candidates from its pre-normalization snapshot.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Per-target cloning and the policy snapshot contain mutations after a failed attempt, so the inspected retry paths need not reconstruct reasoning intent from an already stripped outbound body. This supports failure containment for the tested fallback sequence.

리뷰 · 우선순위 48 / 80

이 PR은 Chat 요청에 적힌 추론 세기가, 앞 대상이 그 세기를 못 받아도, 다음 대상까지 남게 고칩니다.

Chat은 요청을 Responses 본문 하나로 바꿉니다. 입구에서 길을 정한 뒤, 그 길이 받는 effort 목록이 비어 있으면 공유 본문에서 세기를 지웠습니다. 콤보와 정책은 진짜 대상이 그 다음에 정해집니다. 첫 대상의 목록이 비어 있으면, 뒤에 세기를 받을 수 있는 대상도 high를 받지 못했습니다.

이제는 콤보와 정책은 입구에서 지우지 않습니다. 대상이 정해진 뒤, 그 대상의 목록이 비어 있을 때만 그 시도에서 effort를 뺍니다. 요약(summary)은 남깁니다. 정책은 이 삭제보다 먼저 본문을 깊은 복사로 저장합니다. 첫 시도가 자기 본문을 고쳐도 다음 대상은 원래 high를 받습니다. 콤보는 대상마다 복사본을 만듭니다. 테스트는 빈 목록 다음 대상이 high를 받는지, Anthropic 첫 시도가 thinking을 붙이지 않는지 봅니다.

src/server/responses/core-normalize.ts:313 - Chat이고 지원 목록이 비어 있으면 이 삭제가 항상 실행됩니다. 고정 세기를 넣는 applyPinnedEffort보다 뒤입니다.
src/server/effort-policy.ts:362 - 고정 세기(pinnedReasoningEffort)는 목록이 비어도 options.reasoning과 원본 본문에 effort를 다시 넣습니다.
src/server/responses/core-normalize.ts:314 - 그 다음 둘 다 지웁니다. 콤보와 정책만이 아닙니다. 모델이 처음부터 정해진 Chat 요청도 지웁니다. PR 설명은 그 직접 경로는 입구에서만 손본다고 적었습니다. 목록이 빈 Anthropic은 예전에 고정 세기를 thinking으로 보냈습니다. 이제는 보내지 않습니다.
structure/transports/responses-failover.md:202 - 이 계약 문단이 할당량 설명과 sideband 설명 사이에 있습니다. 같은 파일 103행 "Combo per-target reasoning controls"가 둘 자리입니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

빈 목록이 "effort를 보낼 수 없다"는 최종 규칙인지, 운영자가 고정한 세기보다 약한 설정인지 정해 주세요. 최종 규칙이면 지금 순서가 맞습니다. 고정 세기가 우선이면, 고정 세기를 넣은 뒤에 지우면 안 됩니다. 작성자가 적은 대로, 이 TypeScript Chat 경로에 대응하는 Go 코드가 없는지도 확인해 주세요.

너의 추천

고정 세기가 우선이면, 빈 목록 삭제를 고정 세기 적용 앞으로 옮기거나, 고정 세기가 없을 때만 지우세요. 목록이 비어 있고 고정 세기가 있는 Anthropic이 thinking을 내는지 테스트를 하나 추가하세요. 문서 문단은 103행 섹션으로 옮기세요. 그 판단 뒤에 머지하세요.

…g combo failover

#5843 and #5844 each pin their own half; this case drives one Chat request
carrying legacy functions, a function_call/function pair and
reasoning_effort through a combo whose first target has an empty effort
ladder, and checks the fallback target receives both the translated
call/output pair and effort high. It fails on dev and passes on the union.

… test home

The policy-fallback case added in lidge-jun#5843 routes through policy/daily, which
opens the routing-history SQLite index under OPENCODEX_HOME. afterEach then
removed the home while that handle was still open; POSIX allows it, Windows
answers EBUSY until removeTreeWithRetry gives up (windows 7/9 on the
post-merge dev dispatch, run 36161093601). Close the index first, as the
routing suites already do. The legacy-functions combo case shares the
harness and gets the same teardown.
