fix(routing): wire the pool recovery limiter into production dispatch - #4784
Conversation
…#4701) No file under src/ imported src/routing/probe-lease.ts. The half-open transient-hold lease and the pool-wide recovery limiter were complete and unit-tested, and bounded nothing at runtime: every hit for resolveHeldAccountDispatch, recordInitialSend and tryPermitRetryDispatch was its own definition or a direct unit test. The defect that reached production sat at the end of both transient-hold branches of resolveCodexAccountForThreadDetailed. When no sibling could take a request bound to a held account, they returned that held account as "selected" and the caller sent at an account already known to be failing. Under a provider-wide 503 that is every bound request at once, which is the amplification the hold exists to prevent. Those two returns now go through resolveHeldAccountDispatch. One request probes the held account under a lease; the rest are WITHHELD, a new CodexThreadResolution variant that resolveCodexAuthContext turns into CodexRecoveryWithheldError before any upstream I/O, so a refused request reaches the client as 429 with the limiter's own change point in Retry-After. A usable detour is still preferred over the trial: a healthy sibling is a better answer for a live request than an account carrying a failure streak, and the ordering is not what the issue bounds. A granted probe travels on the auth context, is settled by recordCodexUpstreamOutcome under the credential generation the binding held, and is handed back by releaseCodexAuthContextProbeLease -- which now releases both leases, so the ~30 existing "resolved a context, never sent" sites are correct for the new one without re-deriving that set by hand. Explicit releases cover the throw paths inside the resolver itself, and the lease deadline bounds anything that still escapes: a leaked lease can delay the next trial but never cancel it. classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch records demand at the initial passthrough send and gates the alternate-account replay, consulted before the request-local permit is used because reserveDispatch charges at reservation time. A probe is never charged twice; it already paid at selection. Same-account transient retries stay bounded by the per-request send budget alone: refusing inside the retry helper's thunk would surface a pool refusal as a 502 transport failure and record a transient outcome against an account that was never asked. A transient hold and a quota cooldown cannot both describe one account, because isTransientOnlyAffinityBlock refuses to recognise a hold on an account carrying quota health. That is why no request pays two recovery permits for one send. structure/catalog.md described all of this as active. It now says which parts are wired and which seam is deliberately left to the per-request budget. Closes #4701

Count only Pool traffic in the recovery denominator
Guard this call with usesCodexForwardPoolAuth(...): preparePassthroughExchange also serves non-Pool and non-OpenAI passthrough routes, so every unrelated provider request currently increases the shared Pool limiter's allowance. On a mixed-provider proxy, busy traffic to a healthy provider can therefore authorize a large burst of recovery sends to a failing Codex Pool upstream, defeating the ratio ceiling this change is intended to enforce.

Apply recovery limiting to compact sends
Wire the limiter into the compact dispatch itself, not only its outcome recorder. sendCompactAttempt at lines 904-944 still sends its initial attempt, fetchWithTransientRetry replays, and 401/429 alternate-account sends without calling classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch; consequently a compact-only workload contributes no demand denominator and its recovery sends consume no shared recovery allowance, so a /responses/compact outage can still produce the retry storm this commit is meant to bound.

Propagate probe grants through sidecar outcomes
Ensure every consumer of this returned context echoes transientProbe into its outcome metadata. The shared recorder in src/providers/openai-sidecar.ts:228-239, used by search, images, live, and audio sidecars, forwards the quota probe fields but omits the new transient grant; when one of those requests is admitted as the half-open trial, its terminal response never settles the lease, so subsequent requests remain withheld until the 30-second lease expiry instead of observing the result and following the 15-second probe pacing.

…esolution read Two CI failures on the previous commit, both real. gates reported src/codex/auth-context.ts(1034,5) TS2322: 'unknown' is not assignable to 'TransientProbeGrant | undefined'. The resolution in resolveCodexAuthContext is a conditional expression whose fixed-account and exclude-account branches build their own selected literals, so the inferred union has members carrying neither affinity nor transientProbe. Under that union the "k" in resolution guard widens the read to unknown. Annotating the binding as CodexThreadResolution contextually types every branch to the resolver's own union, which lets both reads use ordinary discriminant narrowing. affinity is optional on all four variants, so it needs no guard at all. The file-size ratchet reported src/codex/routing.ts GREW to 1750 against its 1626 baseline, and the ratchet only ever lowers a cap. The three functions added there have no dependency on anything private to that file, so they move to src/codex/routing/transient-hold-dispatch.ts along with isTransientHoldExpired, which belongs with them. That is a better boundary than the line count forced: everything about what a held binding may do this turn now sits in one module, separate from the quota-cooldown lease one directory away. routing.ts returns to exactly its baseline. The new module takes MAIN_CODEX_ACCOUNT_ID from ../account-id, which declares it and imports nothing, rather than from ../main-account, which re-exports it from inside the routing/account-lifecycle cycle. Neither reference runs at module load, but a leaf import keeps this module out of that cycle rather than depending on that staying true. The source-oracle test moves with the code: it now asserts the extraction imports src/routing/probe-lease and that routing.ts reaches it through that seam.
…ort boundary tests/responses/responses-fetch-helpers-boundary.test.ts pins the runtime imports of src/server/responses/fetch-helpers.ts to exactly three transport modules. Adding classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch there gave that file a routing dependency, which is the thing the boundary exists to prevent, and the test caught it. The boundary is right and the placement was wrong. providerFetch cannot classify a send anyway: it sees a URL and an init, while whether this is a conversation's first attempt, its third retry, or the one trial admitted against a held account is knowledge only the caller has. So the classification moves to src/routing/probe-lease.ts beside the window it consults, and the two dispatch call sites name their own class. fetch-helpers.ts returns to its previous contents exactly. structure/catalog.md now records where the classifier lives and why it is not in the transport. The source oracle follows the code: it asserts the passthrough dispatch reaches the window and names its initial send, rather than asserting an import in a file that is not allowed to have one.

Release a selected transient-probe grant in the account-only wrapper.
When resolveCodexAccountForThread receives a selected resolution with transientProbe, it returns accountId and drops the lease. A direct caller can then receive the held account while the lease remains active until expiration.
The repository has no production caller of this wrapper. Production request handling uses the detailed resolver and preserves the grant. This is therefore a defensive wrapper-contract issue, not a demonstrated production send without a grant.

Classify every compact physical send.
sendCompactAttempt routes the native send and transient retries through doFetch, while the 401 replay and account alternate also reach doFetch through the "single" path. src/server/responses/compact.ts never calls classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch, so native sends do not record the initial recovery denominator. Pool retries, replays, and alternates can perform provider I/O without consuming a retry permit or honoring an already-admitted transientProbe.
Pass explicit leg intent into the shared helper and classify each doFetch invocation as initial, retry, or probe. Do not infer the class from "single" alone because both the replay and alternate use that mode.

Classify probe-backed account moves as probes.
codexTransientProbeGrant(retryAuthCtx) returns the transient probe held by the selected alternate context. At src/server/responses/core-codex-account.ts:732, the account-move branch always calls classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch("retry") before accountMovePermit.use() and the provider send. The "retry" class consumes retry capacity, while "probe" admits the already-probed send without another retry charge. Probe-backed account moves can therefore consume recovery capacity twice.
Use "probe" when codexTransientProbeGrant(retryAuthCtx) is present and "retry" otherwise.

Landing the pool-recovery dispatch wiring. This closes #4546's third open safety item: the transient-hold resolver and the pool-wide recovery limiter existed but no production path called them. Evidence at the exact head 4e5c685 (tree
Two decisions in this change are worth a reviewer's attention. The selector prefers a healthy sibling account over a probe. The probe-lease module describes probe-first, but sending a live user request to an account carrying a failure streak is worse than routing to an account that is known good, and #4701 is about the third answer — dispatching to the failing account anyway when every alternative is held. Only that case changes, which is also why the existing detour assertions still hold. The classifier does not live in the transport. Lease release is defended three ways, since a leaked lease would block recovery permanently and be worse than the gap being fixed: a shared release function that the existing discard sites already call, explicit releases on every throw path after the grant, and a thirty-second deadline on the lease itself so a leak can only delay recovery rather than cancel it. The third is pinned by a regression. Maintainer integration decision under MAINTAINERS.md / AGENTS.md: a maintainer with maintain or admin access may integrate into |
Summary
No file under
src/importedsrc/routing/probe-lease.ts. The half-open transient-hold lease and the pool-wide recovery limiter were complete and unit-tested, and bounded nothing at runtime: every hit forresolveHeldAccountDispatch,recordInitialSendandtryPermitRetryDispatchwas its own definition or a direct unit test. That is the whole of #4701 — an implementation nothing calls is indistinguishable from an absent one.The defect that reached production sat at the end of both transient-hold branches of
resolveCodexAccountForThreadDetailed. When no sibling could take a request bound to a held account, they returned that held account asselected, and the caller sent it at an account already known to be failing. Under a provider-wide 503 that is every bound request at once — the amplification the hold exists to prevent rather than cause.What changed
resolveHeldAccountDispatch. One request probes the held account under a lease; the rest get a newwithheldCodexThreadResolutionvariant, whichresolveCodexAuthContextturns intoCodexRecoveryWithheldErrorbefore any upstream I/O. A refused request reaches the client as 429 carrying the limiter's own change point inRetry-After, which is strictly in the future.src/codex/routing/transient-hold-dispatch.ts, separate from the unrelated quota-cooldown lease one directory away. It takesMAIN_CODEX_ACCOUNT_IDfrom../account-id, which declares it and imports nothing, so the module stays out of the routing/account-lifecycle import cycle.CodexRecoveryWithheldErrorsubclassesCodexAccountCooldownErrorso the dozen transports that already map a deadline-carrying refusal to 429 keep working; a parallel type would have meant re-deriving that in each or silently returning 500 from the ones missed. It does not inherit the quota wording —cooldownErrorMessagereturns its own message, the same escape hatchCodexMainAccountHardLockErroruses — because there is no cooldown to lift and no account to switch to.recordCodexUpstreamOutcomeunder the credential generation the binding held, and is handed back byreleaseCodexAuthContextProbeLease.classifyPoolRecoveryDispatchrecords demand at the initial passthrough send and gates the alternate-account replay, consulted before the request-local permit is used becausereserveDispatchcharges at reservation time. It lives beside the window insrc/routing/probe-lease.ts, not in the transport:fetch-helpers.tsowns no routing policy and its runtime imports are pinned byresponses-fetch-helpers-boundary.test.ts.providerFetchcould not classify a send anyway — it sees a URL and an init, while whether this is a first attempt, a retry, or the one admitted trial is knowledge only the caller has. A probe is never charged twice; it already paid at selection.structure/catalog.mddescribed all of this as active. It now states which parts are wired and where the classifier lives.Lease release — the failure mode that would be worse than the status quo
A lease nobody hands back blocks recovery, so this has three layers:
releaseCodexAuthContextProbeLeasereleases both leases, which makes the ~30 existing "resolved a context, never sent" call sites correct for the new one without re-deriving that set by hand.assertCodexAccountValidationReady, main-token acquisition, the no-token exit, Reserve authorization, and pool-token acquisition.No double limiting. A transient hold and a quota cooldown cannot both describe one account:
isTransientOnlyAffinityBlockrefuses to recognise a hold on an account carrying quota health. The quota probe path is untouched, and no request pays two recovery permits for one send.Deliberately out of scope. Same-account transient retries stay bounded by the per-request send budget alone. Refusing inside
fetchWithTransientRetry's thunk would surface a pool refusal as a 502 transport failure and record a transient outcome against an account that was never asked — worse than the gap. This is stated instructure/catalog.mdrather than left implicit.This targets
codex/bl7-4546-integration-regressionrather thandev: it builds on that branch's fix toresolveHeldAccountDispatch's withheldretryAt, without which the refusal here would tell callers to retry immediately. It will be retargeted todevonce the parent lands.Verification
Local test suites, typecheck, build, and install were NOT RUN, per an explicit repository-owner instruction for this work (a past local run destroyed real

auth-context.tsTS2322."transientProbe" in resolutionwidened the read tounknown, because the conditional expression's fixed-account and exclude-account branches build their ownselectedliterals and the inferred union has members lacking the field. Fixed by annotating the binding asCodexThreadResolutionso every branch is contextually typed to the resolver's union.src/codex/routing.tsgrew past its 1626-line baseline, and the ratchet only lowers caps. Fixed by the extraction above; the file is back to exactly 1626.responses-fetch-helpers-boundary: the classifier gave the transport file a routing import. Fixed by moving it to the window, not by widening the allowlist.Static checks run locally (gate scripts, not suites):
bun scripts/structure-ssot.tspasses.Other verification:
tsconfigstrict settings, twice: import resolution and exported names, discriminated-union narrowing, object literals against declared meta types, changed signatures and their callers, runtime import cycles, declaration-emit reachability, and thetests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.tsconstraint. The second pass found the import cycle fixed above.a transient block with nowhere to detour keeps the binding— and it still passes, because its single held resolve receives the probe and returns the same account. Preferring the detour is what keeps the detour assertions incodex-lineage-placementandcodex-pool-rotationintact.tests/routing/probe-lease-dispatch-wiring.test.ts: the module is imported by production (a source oracle, because that is the actual regression); one probe then a withheld refusal with a futureretryAt; the binding surviving a refusal; a usable sibling still winning; a quota refusal never becoming a transient trial; release through the auth context; a leaked lease bounded by its deadline; a settle against a dead credential generation burned rather than applied; 429 +Retry-Afterwithout the quota wording; and the window counting demand, gating a retry, and never charging a probe twice.Checklist
Notes on the last two:
structure/catalog.mdis corrected here because it described unwired primitives as active behaviour. The change touches account selection and the auth context, so: no credential, token, or account id is logged or serialized anywhere new; the refusal message uses the existingcooldownAccountLabelmasking; and the new failure mode is fail-closed — a request that cannot be bounded is refused rather than sent.Closes #4701
