Summary

Extends the transient-5xx replay budget (transientRetryOn5xx) to key-auth openai-responses passthrough providers in addition to openai-chat.

Without this gate allowance, transientRetryPolicyFor returns null for openai-responses providers, causing fast transient 502/503 responses on the native /responses passthrough lane (e.g. opencode-zen/go) to terminate the request on the very first send with an "interrupted with no error" experience on client side instead of using the configured send budget.

Changes

  • src/providers/key-failover.ts: allow openai-responses in transientRetryPolicyFor alongside openai-chat. Non-key auth modes (oauth, forward, local) and other generic adapters remain rejected fail-closed.
  • tests/providers/upstream-transient-retry.test.ts: update qualification tests to assert that openai-responses with key auth qualifies for transient 5xx retry while non-key auth and other adapters remain excluded.

Verification

  • Ran bun test tests/providers/upstream-transient-retry.test.ts: 18 pass / 0 fail (66 assertions passed).

이 PR(#4800)은 Yum-wu가 올린 아주 좁은 retry 게이트 확장이다. 바꾸는 파일은 src/providers/key-failover.tstests/providers/upstream-transient-retry.test.ts 두 개뿐이고(+10/−4), 베이스는 지금 dev tip dc9d1fabc(package 2.57.0, #4796)에 맞춰져 있다. types.ts/config.ts 분할과 무관하고 close-don't-rebase 대상도 아니다.

지금 dev에서 transientRetryPolicyFor는 정책이 켜져 있어도 adapter === "openai-chat"이고 key-auth일 때만 정책을 돌려준다. 그런데 Responses 쪽은 이미 이 함수를 쓰고 있다. src/server/responses/adapter-dispatch.tsadapter-continuation.tstransientRetryPolicyFor(route.provider) 결과가 있으면 fetchWithTransientRetry로 가고, 없으면 reset-only로 간다. 그래서 key-auth openai-responses 제공자(예: opencode-zen/go 같은 네이티브 /responses 패스스루)에 transientRetryOn5xx를 켜도 게이트가 null을 반환해, 빠른 502/503이 첫 전송에서 끊기고 클라이언트는 “interrupted with no error”에 가까운 경험을 본다. chat 레인(chat-native.ts)만 정책이 살아 있는 상태다.

고치는 한 줄이 핵심이다. 어댑터 조건을 openai-chat || openai-responses로 넓히고, 주석도 “chat only”에서 두 패스스루로 고친다. authMode fail-closed(key 또는 생략 기본값만 허용, oauth/forward/local 거절)는 그대로다. 테스트는 제외 목록에서 openai-responses를 빼고, key-auth responses가 기본 attempts 3으로 qualify하는지와 omitted authMode 기본값 케이스까지 잠근다. anthropic/google과 non-key는 계속 null이다.

현재 dev 방향과 맞춰 보면, 바로 아래 tip 쪽에 #4798(모호한 reset replay 거절)·#4797(요청을 못 받는 계정 선택 중지) 같은 fail-closed retry/계정 가드가 있다. 이 PR은 그 옆줄에서 “이미 배선된 Responses transient 경로의 어댑터 게이트만 열어 주는” 수정이라 맞물린다. #2643이 chat에 넣었던 opt-in을 responses에도 대칭으로 맞추는 셈이다. 체크리스트 4/4·review-ready·로컬 upstream-transient-retry 18 pass를 본문에 적었다. 범위가 한 함수라 회귀면이 작고, 점수에서 조금 깎는 지점은 dispatch 쪽 옛 주석 미갱신과 “responses 재전송이 chat과 같은 안전 가정인지” 확인이다.

라인 src/providers/key-failover.ts transientRetryPolicyFor 어댑터 게이트 - chat과 responses만 열고 나머지는 fail-closed로 두는 선택은 #2643 범위 확장으로 타당하다. 다만 generic key-auth 어댑터가 실수로 들어가지 않게 테스트 제외 목록(anthropic/google)이 계속 있는지가 중요하고, 이번 PR은 그걸 유지했다.
라인 src/server/responses/adapter-dispatch.ts #2643 주석 - “opted-in key-auth openai-chat”이라고만 적혀 있다. 게이트가 바뀌면 이 주석도 responses를 포함하도록 같이 고치지 않으면 다음 기여자가 chat-only로 오해할 수 있다. 이 PR diff에는 그 주석 변경이 없다.
경로/심볼 Responses 본문 재전송 - initial dispatch는 builtInitialRequest를 다시 보내므로 chat과 비슷한 replayable fetch 가정이다. 이미 bytes를 읽기 시작한 스트림 mid-body 5xx까지 같은 예산으로 삼키는지는 기존 fetchWithTransientRetry 계약에 맡긴다. 이번 PR은 게이트만 열므로 그 계약을 바꾸지는 않는다.
경로/심볼 #4798과의 경계 - 최근 tip 근처 #4798은 모호한 reset replay를 거절한다. 이 PR의 transient-5xx는 다른 레이어(정책 opt-in 5xx)라 직접 충돌하진 않지만, responses 패스스루에서 “언제 재시도하고 언제 거절할지” 문서/주석이 한곳에 모여 있으면 유지가 쉽다.
경로/심볼 설정 기본값 - transientRetryOn5xx는 여전히 opt-in이다. 게이트만 넓혀도 기본 제공자 동작은 안 바뀌고, 켠 사람만 responses에서 예산이 살아난다. 그 점이 회귀를 작게 만든다.
경로/심볼 CI - 로컬 단위 테스트 통과만으로 머지하지 말고 exact-head 호스티드 CI 초록을 기다린다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • [Feature]: opt-in transient-5xx retry for key-auth providers on openai-chat adapter #2643 당시 chat-only가 “responses replay가 더 위험해서”였는지, 단순히 1차 범위였는지. 후자라면 이번 확장이 맞고, 전자라면 responses는 별도 가드가 더 필요할 수 있다.
  • adapter-dispatch.ts / adapter-continuation.ts의 chat-only 주석을 이 PR에 포함해 고칠지, 후속 한 줄 PR로 둘지.
  • key-auth openai-responses + transientRetryOn5xx를 쓰는 실제 제공자(예: zen/go)에서 502/503 재시도가 체감되는지 머지 전 스모크할지.
  • 프리뷰 배포는 계획에 없다.

너의 추천
머지 후보로 둔다. 게이트 한 줄 + 테스트 대칭이 핵심이고, 이미 Responses 경로가 이 정책을 기다리고 있어서 “죽은 설정”을 살리는 수정이다. 가능하면 같은 PR에 dispatch/continuation의 #2643 주석만 responses 포함으로 고치고, exact-head CI 초록 후 랜딩한다. types/config 분할·중복 close 대상 아님.

Review — the gate is safe, but it is not on the lane this PR describes

The two-line change itself is well contained. The auth-mode check that follows the adapter check
still fails closed (src/providers/key-failover.ts:319), transientRetryOn5xx is absent by
default, and no other adapter is admitted. Nothing here widens replay into OAuth, forward or local
credentials. That part I agree with.

The problem is the stated effect. The summary says this fixes fast transient 502/503 responses on
"the native /responses passthrough lane", and that lane never calls the function this PR edits.

Why the passthrough lane cannot see this change

transientRetryPolicyFor has exactly four call sites in src/:

  • src/server/chat-native.ts:301
  • src/server/responses/adapter-continuation.ts:207 and :411
  • src/server/responses/adapter-dispatch.ts:305

A provider whose adapter is openai-responses reaches none of the last three.
createResponsesPassthroughAdapter declares passthrough: true as const
(src/adapters/openai-responses/passthrough.ts:190-193), and src/server/responses/core.ts:116
routes on exactly that flag:

if ("passthrough" in transportState.adapter && transportState.adapter.passthrough && !sidecarState.routedCompaction) {
  return await executePassthroughResponse(/* ... */);
}

That return is taken before createAdapterContinuations or the adapter dispatch path is ever
constructed, so adapter-dispatch.ts and adapter-continuation.ts are unreachable for this
adapter. src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts does not import transientRetryPolicyFor
at all.

What that lane already does

The passthrough lane is not missing transient-5xx retry. passthrough-dispatch.ts:760 already
wraps the initial send in fetchWithTransientRetry with
attempts: remainingTransientSendBudget(TRANSIENT_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS), unconditionally and
without consulting any provider policy (TRANSIENT_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS is 3,
src/lib/upstream-retry.ts:106). Three more call sites in the same file do the same for the
recovery legs.

So a key-auth openai-responses provider returning 502 on its first send should already be
replayed up to three times today, with or without this PR. If opencode-zen/go is instead
terminating on the first send, the cause is somewhere else in that path, and the candidates are
specific and checkable:

  1. remainingTransientSendBudget(...) returned 0 because the request budget was already spent,
    in which case the fix is in the budget accounting rather than the adapter gate.
  2. isNonReplayableResponse(res) matched, which deliberately forbids the resend
    (src/lib/upstream-retry.ts:612).
  3. Date.now() - attemptStart > slowAttemptMs ended the loop, which does not fit a fast 502.
  4. isTransientUpstreamStatus(res.status) did not match the status actually returned.

A capture of the failing response — status, headers, and whether [upstream-retry] transient ...
was logged — would separate these in one request.

The effect this change does have

It is not a no-op everywhere. chat-native.ts:301 is reachable, so an opted-in key-auth
openai-responses provider serving /v1/chat/completions switches from fetchWithResetRetry to
fetchWithTransientRetry. Note that this also caps that lane: remainingTransientSends()
returns Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY when the policy is null and attempts - used once it is not
(chat-native.ts:302-305). Opting in therefore changes two things on that lane, not one, and the
PR body describes neither.

Documentation

docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/providers.md:207 still says the option is for
"Key-auth openai-chat providers only", and seven translated locales carry the same claim. If the
gate widens, those eight lines contradict the code.

I would not update them to simply add openai-responses, because that would document a behaviour
the /responses lane does not have. Whatever the final shape is, the docs sentence and the
reachable lanes need to agree.

Suggested direction

If the goal is to let an operator tune replay on the /responses passthrough lane, the change
belongs where that lane reads its budget: have passthrough-dispatch.ts consult
transientRetryPolicyFor(route.provider) instead of the fixed TRANSIENT_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS,
with the current constant as the default so behaviour is unchanged for providers that never opt
in. That is a larger change than this one and needs its own regression coverage, but it is the
one that matches the summary.

As it stands the tests pass because they assert the predicate directly
(tests/providers/upstream-transient-retry.test.ts); there is no test that a
key-auth openai-responses request actually replays, and on the /responses lane there could not
be one, because the policy is never read there.

Thank you for the incredibly thorough architectural breakdown and tracing the exact dispatch lifecycles! That makes total sense: I missed that createResponsesPassthroughAdapter declares passthrough: true and short-circuits early in core.ts:116 directly into executePassthroughResponse, which already relies unconditionally on the fixed TRANSIENT_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS = 3 inside passthrough-dispatch.ts.

You are completely right that this predicate change doesn't reach the /responses passthrough lane as originally stated, but instead governs the chat-native.ts:301 endpoint when an opted-in key-auth openai-responses provider serves /v1/chat/completions.

Regarding the next step:

  1. Would you prefer keeping this PR narrow — updating the PR title/summary to honestly document the chat-native.ts behavior and aligning the documentation accordingly?
  2. Or would you prefer extending this PR to wire transientRetryPolicyFor(route.provider) into passthrough-dispatch.ts (with TRANSIENT_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS fallback) so the passthrough lane actually honors the operator's configured budget as originally intended?

Happy to follow your preferred direction.

Correct the policy scope in the comment and provider documentation.

Native /responses passthrough does not call transientRetryPolicyFor. It keeps its fixed three-attempt retry budget. This policy change affects chat-native.ts handling of /v1/chat/completions with an openai-responses adapter.

Describe the supported adapter and reachable route without calling it a passthrough policy. Update docs-site/ because the provider option now applies to key-auth openai-responses providers in this lane, while the existing documentation says it applies only to openai-chat.

As per coding guidelines: “Update docs-site/ when the change affects user-visible behavior or configuration.”
