Summary

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. 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 as selected, 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

  • Both branches now go through resolveHeldAccountDispatch. One request probes the held account under a lease; the rest get a new withheld CodexThreadResolution variant, which resolveCodexAuthContext turns into CodexRecoveryWithheldError before any upstream I/O. A refused request reaches the client as 429 carrying the limiter's own change point in Retry-After, which is strictly in the future.
  • A usable detour is still preferred over the trial, inverting the module's own probe-first ordering. 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 — the defect is only reachable when no detour exists.
  • The transient-hold decision and its settle live in a new src/codex/routing/transient-hold-dispatch.ts, separate from the unrelated quota-cooldown lease one directory away. It takes MAIN_CODEX_ACCOUNT_ID from ../account-id, which declares it and imports nothing, so the module stays out of the routing/account-lifecycle import cycle.
  • CodexRecoveryWithheldError subclasses CodexAccountCooldownError so 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 — cooldownErrorMessage returns its own message, the same escape hatch CodexMainAccountHardLockError uses — because there is no cooldown to lift and no account to switch to.
  • 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.
  • 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. It lives beside the window in src/routing/probe-lease.ts, not in the transport: fetch-helpers.ts owns no routing policy and its runtime imports are pinned by responses-fetch-helpers-boundary.test.ts. providerFetch could 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.md described 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:

  1. releaseCodexAuthContextProbeLease releases 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.
  2. Explicit releases on every throw path inside the resolver that can hold one: the selection block, assertCodexAccountValidationReady, main-token acquisition, the no-token exit, Reserve authorization, and pool-token acquisition.
  3. The lease deadline. A leaked lease can delay the next trial but can never cancel it, which is the floor under the other two and is pinned by a test.

No double limiting. A transient hold and a quota cooldown cannot both describe one account: isTransientOnlyAffinityBlock refuses 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 in structure/catalog.md rather than left implicit.

This targets codex/bl7-4546-integration-regression rather than dev: it builds on that branch's fix to resolveHeldAccountDispatch's withheld retryAt, without which the refusal here would tell callers to retry immediately. It will be retargeted to dev once 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 ~/.opencodex data). Verification was static reading plus hosted CI at the exact pushed head.

Hosted CI at head 99061cfcf6f739fb85bb8dba5d5eda72f7ab039d — every job completed, all success or skipped:

  • test 1/4, test 2/4, test 3/4, test 4/4: completed success (queried through the commit check-runs API, not the PR rollup).
  • gates (typecheck, lint, privacy scan, structure): success. changes, hygiene, storage policy, api usage, docker smoke, react-doctor, label, resolve-pr: success.
  • macos 1/2, macos 2/2, keyring on all three platforms, npm-global on all three platforms: success.
  • enforce-target shows cancelled, whose annotation reads Canceling since a higher priority waiting request for pr-gate-comment-4784 exists — a concurrency cancellation, not a check failure.

Three earlier heads were red and each failure was a real defect, fixed rather than worked around:

  1. auth-context.ts TS2322. "transientProbe" in resolution widened the read to unknown, because the conditional expression's fixed-account and exclude-account branches build their own selected literals and the inferred union has members lacking the field. Fixed by annotating the binding as CodexThreadResolution so every branch is contextually typed to the resolver's union.
  2. File-size ratchet: src/codex/routing.ts grew past its 1626-line baseline, and the ratchet only lowers caps. Fixed by the extraction above; the file is back to exactly 1626.
  3. 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.ts passes.

Other verification:

  • Adversarial static type review of the full diff against tsconfig strict 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 the tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts constraint. The second pass found the import cycle fixed above.
  • Blast-radius read of every existing test reaching the changed branch. One does — 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 in codex-lineage-placement and codex-pool-rotation intact.
  • New regression file 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 future retryAt; 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-After without the quota wording; and the window counting demand, gating a retry, and never charging a probe twice.

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.

Notes on the last two: structure/catalog.md is 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 existing cooldownAccountLabel masking; and the new failure mode is fail-closed — a request that cannot be bounded is refused rather than sent.

Closes #4701

…#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

이 PR은 #4701을 고친다. 지금 dev에는 src/routing/probe-lease.ts 안에 반열림(half-open) 임시홀드 리스와 풀 전체 복구 리미터가 이미 있고 단위 테스트도 있다. 그런데 src/ 어디에서도 그걸 가져다 쓰지 않는다. 그래서 프로덕션에서는 “구현이 없는 것과 같다”.

실제 사고는 resolveCodexAccountForThreadDetailed의 임시홀드 두 갈래 끝에서 났다. 형제 계정으로 우회(detour)할 수 없으면, 이미 실패 중인 홀드된 계정을 그대로 selected로 돌려보냈다. 호출부는 그 계정으로 업스트림에 보냈다. 제공자 전체 503이 오면, 그 대화에 묶인 요청이 한꺼번에 같은 망가진 계정으로 몰린다. 홀드가 막아야 할 증폭을 오히려 만든다.

이번 변경은 그 두 갈래를 resolveTransientHoldDispatchresolveHeldAccountDispatch로 통과시킨다. 한 요청만 프로브 리스를 받아 홀드 계정을 시험하고, 나머지는 새 withheld 해석을 받는다. resolveCodexAuthContext는 업스트림 I/O 전에 CodexRecoveryWithheldError를 던져 거부한다. 클라이언트에는 429와 Retry-After(리미터의 미래 변경점)가 간다. 쓸 수 있는 형제(detour)가 있으면 프로브보다 형제를 먼저 고른다. 모듈 기본 순서(프로브 우선)와 반대인데, 살아 있는 요청에는 건강한 형제가 더 낫고, #4701이 막는 결함은 “우회가 없을 때 실패 계정으로라도 보낸다”는 세 번째 답뿐이기 때문이다.

CodexRecoveryWithheldErrorCodexAccountCooldownError를 상속한다. 이미 십여 개 전송 경로가 “데드라인 있는 거부 → 429 + Retry-After”로 매핑하기 때문이다. 새 타입을 만들면 빠진 경로에서 500이 난다. 다만 쿼터 쿨다운 문구(clear-cooldown 등)는 상속하지 않고, cooldownErrorMessage가 이 클래스 메시지를 그대로 쓴다. 프로브는 auth context에 실려 recordCodexUpstreamOutcome에서 정산되고, releaseCodexAuthContextProbeLease쿼터 프로브 + 임시홀드 프로브 둘 다 반납한다. 그래서 “컨텍스트만 만들고 안 보낸” 기존 ~30곳도 새 리스에 맞게 동작한다. 리졸버 throw 경로에도 명시 반납이 있고, 리스 만료가 바닥이다.

classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch(fetch-helpers.ts)는 첫 패스스루 전송에서 수요를 기록하고, 대체 계정 재전송(retry)을 게이트한다. 요청 로컬 permit보다 먼저 본다(reserveDispatch는 예약 시점에 과금되므로). 프로브는 선택 시점에 이미 냈으므로 여기서 다시 안 낸다. 같은 계정 임시 재시도는 요청 단위 send budget만 쓴다 — 재시도 thunk 안에서 풀 거부를 넣으면 502/잘못된 결과 기록이 되어 더 나쁘다. structure/catalog.md도 “이미 켜진 것처럼” 쓰여 있던 부분을 “어디가 배선됐는지”로 고쳤다.

베이스는 dev가 아니라 codex/bl7-4546-integration-regression(#4772 헤드)이다. 부모에 있는 #4771의 withheld retryAt 수정(항상 미래)이 없으면, 거부가 “지금 당장 다시 해라”고 말해 바쁜 루프가 난다. 부모 스택이 dev에 오른 뒤 이 PR을 dev로 다시 겨냥하는 순서다. 새 회귀 파일 tests/routing/probe-lease-dispatch-wiring.test.ts는 “프로덕션이 모듈을 import한다”는 소스 오라클까지 포함한다. 로컬 suite는 저장소 소유자 지시로 돌리지 않았고, hosted CI가 게이트다.

라인 1027 - src/codex/auth-context.ts resolution.status === "withheld"에서 업스트림 전에 CodexRecoveryWithheldError — #4701의 핵심 차단점이다.
라인 371–382 - src/codex/routing.ts resolveTransientHoldDispatch: detour 우선, 그다음 resolveHeldAccountDispatch; 예전처럼 held를 무조건 selected로 돌리지 않는다.
라인 264–273 - releaseCodexAuthContextProbeLease가 임시홀드 리스도 함께 반납한다. 누락 시 홀드 계정이 다음 프로브를 못 받는다.
라인 52–65 - classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch: initial 기록만, probe 재과금 없음, retry만 윈도우 게이트 — 이중 과금/처리량 캡 혼동을 피한 설계.
경로/심볼 - ./routing/probe-lease(쿼터)와 ../routing/probe-lease(임시홀드)가 한 파일에 같이 import된다. 주석은 충분하나, 이후 PR에서 경로를 섞으면 서로 다른 도메인 리스를 정산할 위험이 있다.
경로/심볼 - 같은 계정 transient retry는 풀 복구 윈도우 밖(의도). catalog에 명시됐지만, 폭풍 시 요청당 budget만으로는 풀 증폭을 못 본다.
경로/베이스 - 타깃이 dev가 아니라 bl7 스택. #4771→#4772가 dev에 오기 전에 단독으로 dev에 머지하면 retryAt===now 회귀가 다시 열린다.

P1 Badge 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.

P1 Badge 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.

P2 Badge 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.

-        if (!classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch("retry").admitted) {
+        if (!classifyPoolRecoveryDispatch(
+          codexTransientProbeGrant(retryAuthCtx) ? "probe" : "retry",

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 b00e1c19c362298a5700bba7c7cd8dc7db8892a2):

  • test 1-4/4 and macos 1-2/2 all completed with conclusion success, confirmed through the check-runs API rather than the check rollup, so the heavy jobs actually executed and were not path-filtered. The aggregate ci check, gates, hygiene, changes, storage policy, api usage, docker smoke, keyring and npm-global on three platforms, react-doctor and resolve-pr all succeeded, and a later enforce-target run succeeded.
  • The cancelled enforce-target and label entries are workflow concurrency on the pr-gate-comment-4784 and pr-labeler-4784 groups; a subsequent run of each name concluded success at this head.
  • The windows matrix and macos control are workflow_dispatch-only and always skipped on pull_request. This change is not Windows-specific.
  • git merge-tree --write-tree origin/dev <head> reports a clean merge. The branch absorbed dev after the send-budget lane landed, with no conflicts.

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. providerFetch sees a URL and an init object, so it cannot tell a first send from a third retry from a probe permitted against a held account; only the caller knows. tests/responses/responses-fetch-helpers-boundary.test.ts pins that file's runtime imports to exactly three, and that boundary encodes this fact rather than a style preference.

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 dev without a second maintainer approval, recording the decision and exact-head CI evidence.
