Summary

  • Carry feat(combos): allow forced default reasoning effort #4054 onto dev 51d577c3fcae652f59799f2e0676c063118ad5ea. GitHub rejected the direct maintainer push to elginux/opencodex with HTTP 403; the source PR and fork permissions remain unchanged.
  • Preserve the existing strict/adaptive capability policy as the fifth request-helper argument and add fallback/force precedence as the sixth. Port per-attempt requested-effort telemetry into core-combo.ts, retain config-aware native Chat eligibility, and keep malformed forced defaults fail-closed.
  • Retain all original cases, add strict/adaptive composition regression cases, and extract a coherent group under the original test suite's isolated-home/mock/cleanup hooks rather than raise the file-size limit. The force option remains explicit and can increase cost/latency; this draft changes no live configuration.

Co-authored-by: Elginux Agent elginux@users.noreply.github.com

Verification

  • Static only: git diff --check, source comparison against the original PR and pinned dev, relative import existence, JSON/conflict-marker inspection, and unchanged file-size-cap inspection.
  • No product tests, typecheck, build, install, lint, service or provider commands, or manual CI dispatch ran on the connected dogfooding host. The added regression cases have not been executed here. CI and runtime/security review remain with the maintainer.
  • No merge, approval or review-readiness claim is made. Source feat(combos): allow forced default reasoning effort #4054 remains open and unchanged; compare this draft before deciding which PR to retain.

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.

    • Preserved advanced effort settings during management and dashboard updates.
  • Documentation

    • Updated configuration and runtime guidance for effort precedence and force-mode behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds defaultEffortMode with "fallback" and "force" behavior for combos. It updates configuration normalization, CLI and management APIs, child request routing, telemetry, native Chat eligibility, documentation, and test coverage.

Changes

Combo default effort policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration contract and normalization
src/types/config.ts, src/types.ts, src/combos/types.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/combos.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/routing.md, structure/runtime.md
Adds the public OcxComboDefaultEffortMode type and optional configuration field. normalizeComboConfig validates defaultEffort and enables "force" only for a valid effort. Configuration validation rejects invalid force policies. Documentation describes fallback and force behavior.
CLI and management persistence
src/cli/combo.ts, src/server/management/combo-routes.ts, tests/cli/cli-headless-parity.test.ts, tests/routing/combo-management-api.test.ts
Adds --effort-mode <fallback|force> validation and persistence. Sparse responses omit fallback mode. PUT updates preserve an existing force mode when the field is omitted. Tests cover force, fallback, clearing, and invalid configurations.
Combo request execution and telemetry
src/combos/request.ts, src/server/responses/core-combo.ts, src/server/chat-completions.ts, tests/codex-integration/combos.test.ts, tests/helpers/combo-forced-effort-cases.ts, tests/server/server-combo-failover-e2e.test.ts
concreteComboRequestBody applies fallback or force precedence and rejects invalid force defaults. Combo child execution passes the mode, preserves declared caller effort in telemetry, and routes combo requests through the child pipeline. Tests cover supported ladders, malformed capabilities, chat body forms, telemetry, and failover behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 53267

The new force-mode default-effort policy is designed to guarantee a fixed reasoning effort for a combo regardless of client input, but a client can currently opt out of that policy by sending a reasoning effort of "none" or "minimal," which is not treated as an overridable value. This does not corrupt data or expose secrets, but it can defeat administrators' cost or quality controls for combos configured in force mode, and it should be fixed before merge or explicitly accepted as expected behavior.

이 PR은 원본 #4054(강제 기본 reasoning effort)를 현재 dev 끝(51d577c3fcae652f59799f2e0676c063118ad5ea)으로 캐리한 draft입니다. 원본 포크 elginux/opencodex에도 메인테이너 푸시가 403이라, 기능만 이쪽(codex/bug-cycle-20260915-192629/pr-4054)으로 옮겼습니다. 지금 dev의 콤보 defaultEffort는 호출자가 reasoning.effort를 비웠을 때만 채우는 fallback입니다(src/combos/request.tsneedsDefault). 이 패치는 defaultEffortMode: "fallback" | "force"를 추가하고, force일 때만 유효한 호출자 effort를 설정된 기본값으로 덮어씁니다. 타깃이 광고한 사다리에 맞춰 at-or-below로 깎고, 빈/unknown 사다리에서는 주입하지 않으며, 잘못된 force 설정은 정규화·검증에서 fail-closed입니다. 중요하게, src/server/chat-completions.ts에서 route.combo면 native Chat 지름길을 타지 않게 해서 콤보 자식 선택·강제 effort·페일오버·텔레메트리가 같은 Responses 파이프(src/server/responses/core-combo.ts)를 타게 합니다. godfile round5 이후 leaf인 core-combo.ts와 스플릿된 src/types/config.ts에 필드만 더하는 형태라, “프리-스플릿 모놀리스를 고쳐서 close-don’t-rebase” 케이스는 아닙니다. CLI --effort-mode, management sparse 직렬화(force만 저장), GUI가 필드를 빼먹어도 force를 지우지 않는 보존, docs·structure/runtime.md, 그리고 tests/helpers/combo-forced-effort-cases.ts로 e2e/단위를 묶었습니다. force는 비용·지연을 올릴 수 있어 명시적 운영자 선택으로 문서화되어 있습니다. draft이며 리뷰 시점 Linux 테스트 일부는 아직 pending이었습니다. 원본 #4054도 아직 OPEN입니다.

src/cli/combo.ts USAGE - --effort-mode 설명 괄호 (force overrides valid client effort and can increase cost/latency)가 옵션 줄 가운데 끼어 있어 사용법 문자열이 읽기 어렵습니다. 별도 줄이나 --effort-mode 바로 옆 짧은 설명으로 정리하세요.

src/combos/request.ts force + 잘못된 호출자 effort - effort: "banana"처럼 유효하지 않은 호출자 값은 force여도 덮지 않고 그대로 둡니다(테스트로 고정). “강제 기본”을 기대하는 운영자 입장에선 놀라울 수 있으니, docs에 “malformed caller effort는 고치지 않음”을 한 문장 더 밝히세요.

src/combos/types.ts normalizeComboConfig - force인데 default가 없거나 잘못된 값을 silent하게 fallback+null로 내립니다. API comboConfigIssues는 400을 주지만, 이미 깨진 설정 파일을 읽으면 조용히 약해집니다. 부팅/로드 시 경고 한 줄이 있으면 운영 실수가 덜 묻힙니다.

src/server/management/combo-routes.ts - 대시보드가 defaultEffortMode를 안 보내면 이전 force를 보존합니다. 반대로 GUI만으로는 force를 끄기 어렵습니다. CLI/API 전용으로 둘지, 나중에 GUI 토글을 넣을지 제품 결정을 남겨 두세요.

src/types/config.ts / src/types.ts - OcxComboDefaultEffortMode 추가만 하고 기존 필드를 깨지 않습니다. types/config 스플릿으로 무효화되는 옛 모놀리스 PR이 아닙니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • force를 콤보 운영의 정식 스위치로 받을지, 아니면 소수 파워유저 CLI/API 전용으로 남길지(대시보드 노출 여부)
  • 원본 #4054와 이 캐리 중 무엇을 정본으로 머지하고 나머지를 landed-via-maintainer로 닫을지
  • draft Ready 전환 전에 Cross-platform CI(test 1–4, macos) 전부 초록을 필수로 볼지

너의 추천
hosted CI가 전부 초록이면 Ready 후 머지하세요. 머지 커밋으로 원본 #4054를 Landed via #4714 at <commit> + landed-via-maintainer로 닫으세요. CLI USAGE 문구만 다듬고, malformed caller effort 비-오버라이드 문장을 docs에 한 줄 보태면 충분합니다. 기본값은 여전히 fallback이라 기존 콤보 동작은 깨지지 않습니다.

Maintainer integration (dev-only bypass, MAINTAINERS.md)

Integrating this into dev without a second maintainer approval under the admin/maintain dev-only exception. This is maintainer integration, not a self-approval or an independent review.

Source #4054 is superseded by this carry and will be closed with a pointer here.

P2 Badge Honor force mode for valid sentinel efforts

When a client supplies the valid none or minimal effort, this predicate returns false because isCodexReasoningEffort recognizes only the low–ultra ladder, while isDeclaredReasoningEffort explicitly recognizes both sentinels. Consequently shouldForce remains false and a combo configured to force max forwards the client's lower/no-reasoning request unchanged. Use the declared-effort predicate, or handle these two valid sentinels explicitly, while continuing to preserve genuinely malformed values.

P2 Badge Preserve the default when retaining force mode in the CLI

When ocx combo set updates an existing forced combo's targets or strategy without --effort, this branch retains defaultEffortMode: "force", but the replacement payload contains no defaultEffort. The management validator therefore rejects an otherwise ordinary update because force mode requires a default. Either carry the existing default along with the mode or downgrade to fallback whenever --effort is omitted.

P2 Badge Allow the dashboard to clear a forced default

For a combo previously saved in force mode, the dashboard sends defaultEffort: null when the user selects “None” but omits the advanced mode field. This merge blindly restores force, after which validation rejects the request because force requires a non-null default, so the dashboard cannot clear the setting. Preserve force only when the submitted default remains valid; an explicit null should switch the effective mode to fallback.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Override "none" and "minimal" in force mode.

isDeclaredReasoningEffort treats "none" and "minimal" as valid client-declared efforts. This predicate uses isCodexReasoningEffort, which rejects both values. A caller can send reasoning.effort: "none" and bypass a configured force default because shouldForce remains false.

Use isDeclaredReasoningEffort for validCallerEffort. Add force-mode cases for "none" and "minimal".

Proposed fix
-import { isCodexReasoningEffort, resolveEffortAtOrBelow } from "../reasoning-effort";
+import { isCodexReasoningEffort, isDeclaredReasoningEffort, resolveEffortAtOrBelow } from "../reasoning-effort";
