fix(combos): hop a response_format capability refusal to the next target - #4927
Conversation
…get (#4903) A combo target whose gateway cannot serve response_format ends the chain instead of trying the target behind it. comboFailureDecision reaches the generic invalid_request_error stop, because isRequestLocalTargetIncompatibility refuses at its first guard: the gateway reports invalid_parameter_error, which is not in the generic code set, and none of its three accepted shapes describes a response_format refusal. A second blocker explains the reported text. The gateway answers inside a single SSE frame, so normalizeUpstreamErrorText cannot parse it, the raw data: {...} survives as the classification text, and the structured code arrives undefined. Neither obvious option was taken. Hopping on every 400 replays a genuinely malformed request at every remaining target, and dropping response_format changes the output contract the caller asked for. The verdict is narrowed to a capability claim: the message must name response_format and say it is unavailable or unsupported, so an invalid-schema complaint stays terminal. The envelope keeps the existing discipline: HTTP 400, intact provider JSON, type invalid_request_error, a three-envelope depth budget and a 16,384 character bound. Its code set is the shared generic one plus invalid_parameter_error, held separately so the user and image branches are not widened. One data: prefix is unwrapped, and only on a single-line body, so a multi-event body still fails closed. The next target receives the same request with response_format intact. Traversal stays finite because combo excludes each attempted target, and the verdict records no cooldown because a capability gap says the target is healthy.

When a malformed structured-output request produces a message such as Invalid schema for response_format 'unsupported': ... or mentions an unsupported schema keyword, this unanchored regex treats the incidental word unsupported as a model capability refusal. With the accepted error type/code and a null or response_format param, both combo and policy fallback then replay the same malformed request across every candidate, contradicting the intended fail-closed behavior. Match phrases that specifically declare response_format (or its requested type) unavailable rather than accepting the keyword anywhere in the message.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Validate nested envelope metadata before unwrapping.
The unwrap branch accepts an outer server_error envelope with no code before checking its type. That envelope can contain a valid response_format refusal and return "hop" with no cooldown. The real combo path extracts an outer unknown code as upstreamCode, so the initial code gate already rejects that case; the supported production defect is the invalid outer type.
Do not require every wrapper to be invalid_request_error. The repository emits upstream_error wrappers with an optional code, and normalizeUpstreamErrorText passes the full envelope to this classifier. Validate metadata when present while allowing upstream_error and absent type/code fields:
if (e.code !== undefined && e.code !== null && typeof e.code !== "string") return false;
if (typeof e.message !== "string") return false;
+ if (e.type !== undefined
+ && e.type !== "invalid_request_error"
+ && e.type !== "upstream_error") return false;
+ if (e.code !== undefined && e.code !== null
+ && !RESPONSE_FORMAT_REFUSAL_CODES.has(
+ normalizedFailureCode(typeof e.code === "string" ? e.code : undefined),
+ )) return false;
// Our own wrapper, re-wrapped by a downstream hop. Peel it and look again, within budget.
if (e.message.startsWith("Provider error 400: ") && e.param === undefined) {
text = e.message;
continue;Add a nested response-format regression test for an invalid outer type, while retaining coverage for the repository-generated upstream_error wrapper.

| The combo may advance to its next eligible unattempted target before output commitment. It records no target/provider cooldown for these request-local mismatches and does not silently drop reasoning controls or raise `none` to a supported rung. Cancellation, origin/cyber-policy rejection, non-replayable post-send errors and the existing streaming commit boundary stay authoritative. Apart from the definite context overflow below, other invalid requests remain terminal. | ||

| A definite context-window overflow is the fourth request-local verdict. A heterogeneous combo mixes windows, so "this turn does not fit THIS model" is not "this turn is impossible", and stopping at the first undersized target burned the ladder on turns a later target could hold. Evidence must come from the innermost provider message: `classifyError` remaps any occurrence of `context window`, `context length`, `maximum context` or `too many tokens` anywhere in the blob, and inheriting that looseness would let a `context_length_exceeded` token sitting in a `code` field beside `Unsupported parameter: user` authorize a replay. `src/combos/failover.ts` therefore unwraps only the exact proxy wrapper, within four envelopes and 16,384 characters, and reads the leaf message. A JSON-shaped body that does not parse fails closed, because `normalizeUpstreamErrorText` caps `classificationText` at 500 characters and a long envelope arrives here as a prefix. The verdict is admitted only for statuses that speak about the request — 400, 413, 422 and 5xx — so a 401/403 body that merely quotes context prose keeps its provider-wide cooldown instead of being rescored as request-shaped. Structured `origin_rejected`, cyber policy and the non-replayable post-send codes are all tested before it. |

Change the context-overflow ordinal to the fifth verdict.
The response_format paragraph adds the fourth request-local verdict after the three existing invalid-request envelopes. The later paragraph still calls definite context-window overflow the fourth request-local verdict. Change “fourth” to “fifth”.

…#5040) Issue #5035 reopens #4903 against deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro. The reported build is 2.58.0, which was tagged two hours before #4927 landed, so the capability classifier is in no published release. On dev the reported envelope already hops, in every form the pipeline produces. This vendor spells its code invalid_request_error rather than invalid_parameter_error, at both the outer and the inner level. That is the code the generic terminal list stops on, so the ordering inside comboFailureDecision is load-bearing here in a way the first gateway never exercised. Pin it, and keep a malformed-schema complaint terminal.

Summary
A combo opens a new conversation, the shadow title call carries
response_format, and the firsttarget's gateway refuses it with HTTP 400. The chain stops instead of trying the target behind
it, so the user gets
Provider error 400from a combo that had a working alternative.comboFailureDecisionreaches["origin_rejected", "context_length_exceeded", "invalid_request_error"].includes(error.code)and returns
stop.isRequestLocalTargetIncompatibilityruns first and could have returnedhop, but it refuses at its own first guard: the gateway'sinvalid_parameter_erroris not inthe generic code set, and none of its three accepted shapes —
Unsupported parameter: user, anunsupported_valueonreasoning.effort, and a model-scoped image-input rejection — describes aresponse_formatrefusal.There is a second blocker the issue body does not name, and it explains the reported text. The
gateway reports the refusal inside a single SSE frame, so
normalizeUpstreamErrorTextcannotparse
data: {...}as JSON:classificationTextkeeps the raw frame andupstreamCodearrivesundefined. Widening the code set alone would still fail on the unparsed frame, which is whythis was re-derived rather than patched from the issue text.
Why neither obvious option was taken
Hopping on every 400 would replay a genuinely malformed request against every remaining target.
Dropping
response_formatwould silently change the output contract the caller asked for, on apath whose entire purpose is a structured result.
The verdict is narrowed to a capability claim instead: the message must name
response_formatand state that it is unavailable or unsupported. An invalid-schema complaint names the field
and claims nothing about capability, so it stays terminal.
The envelope
It keeps the discipline the existing predicate uses — HTTP 400, intact provider JSON,
type: "invalid_request_error", a three-envelope depth budget, a 16,384-character bound — andadds exactly two things:
invalid_parameter_error, held in its own set sothe
userand image branches are not widened by a code they were never reasoned about.data:prefix is unwrapped, and only on a single-line body. That unwraps one frame ratherthan parsing a stream, so a multi-event body is left alone and still fails closed.
parammay be absent or explicitly null, as the reported gateway sends; a param naming anotherfield contradicts the message and fails closed.
What the next target receives
The same request,
response_formatincluded. A target that can honour the contract honours it,and one that cannot is skipped in turn. Traversal stays finite because combo excludes each
attempted target and policy tries each candidate once. The verdict records no cooldown, because a
capability gap says the target is healthy and the request did not fit it. Cancellation, structured
origin and cyber-policy refusals, and the non-replayable post-send codes are all tested before it
and remain authoritative.
Closes #4903.
Relationship to #4817
#4817 forwards a zero-output SSE bare error event to the next target only when
comboFailureDecisionalready sayshop. This issue is the opposite half: the decision saidstop, so that path could never carry it. The two are complementary and neither closes the other.Verification
Local suites were not run for this change, by explicit maintainer instruction; correctness is
argued from source and proven by hosted CI at this head.
tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.tsgains aresponse_formatcapability block next to the existing request-local cases. It pins the hop and the absent
cooldown across all four envelopes the report produces, including the bare frame and the
wrapper-plus-frame form; keeps a malformed
response_formatand an unavailability claim aboutanother field terminal; and holds the envelope closed against reflected prose, a truncated body,
a non-400 status, an unrecognized code, a wrong
type, an oversized message, and a multi-eventstream body. A final case asserts that origin, non-replayable and cyber-policy codes still
outrank the new verdict.
structure/runtime.mdrecords the fourth envelope, since it enumerates the accepted three.Cross-platform CIat this exact head is the gate.Checklist
