Summary

Preserve tools, reasoning, usage and terminal finish reasons when a streaming Chat request receives Responses JSON. Both native Chat and translated JSON fallbacks use the same serializer. Token-limit and content-filter incompletes retain their own finish reason even when tool output exists; unknown incomplete boundaries return a typed upstream error.

Carry and extend #3779. Closes #3770.

Verification

  • Independent source reviews passed, including the merge of dev eff908e0f. Claude admission/persistence and diagnostic workflows received explicit independent security review. The Windows fixture changes also passed independent source review.
  • Local tests, typecheck, installs and builds were not run, per maintainer instruction. Branches were pushed with --no-verify.
  • Final integration CI passed all 25 jobs at exact head 4a759716a940595b999805be40d1514c100d63cf, containing all five layers plus dev eff908e0f. All expected jobs completed successfully.
  • Dev advanced after final CI started to f89b815090020f52089801b50f569a777bdfdc0a. Independent source interaction review passed. That track's 25-job CI verifies its own source; its initial watchdog failure remains recorded there.
  • The conflict-free combined source bf5ce1c3a0ada78f8e506334a82c64b525b859da additionally passed remote Bun 1.4.0 typecheck, 541 tests across 11 relevant files, and the 425-page documentation build. This supplements the full cross-platform run at 4a759716a; it is a focused combined-tree check, not a second complete platform matrix.
  • Earlier final CI failures were investigated before changing fixtures: cache-policy controls isolated composed-fixture cold-cache costs; preparation-budget and semantic-mutation controls verified the competing-OFF allocation and retained assertion sensitivity. Shim advisory controls additionally verified an owned process deadline while retaining failure on a broken advisory collector. These diagnostics are not full integration proof.
  • Automatic PR matrix runs are suppressed by commit skip directives. Lower diagnostics were used only after final-matrix failure. No skipped lower check is described as passed; diagnostic-only workflows are excluded from the delivery stack.

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.

Maintainer integration decision: @lidge-jun explicitly integrates this PR into dev under MAINTAINERS.md at head 723e59e65814ffac648a9f5ad1043e5c8823d1fd, using the final-head-first verification above and the authorized admin merge. This is maintainer integration, not a self-approval. Lower skipped checks are not passing evidence. Actor, base, head and review state are refreshed before merging.

Landing confirmed: included in dev 5759d9ea2f1e7281cdc01eb9628f2e0a123fb59c. All five PR heads are ancestors of fetched dev. Final tree eb4473dfe9e6b95072e3eb31901df635c73dd0eb exactly equals the remotely checked combined source. #3806 was integrated with #3808; GitHub records both as merged.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds JSON Responses to Chat SSE fallback support. It preserves reasoning, tool calls, usage, and finish reasons. It adds translator-budget enforcement, typed errors, request-log finalization, documentation, and focused tests.

Changes

Chat protocol fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protocol scope and delivery plan
devlog/_plan/260907_track2_protocol/*
Adds plans for Chat JSON/SSE semantics, refusal handling, custom efforts, hosted-search disposition, Claude compatibility, and remote validation.
Semantic conversion and budget accounting
src/chat/outbound.ts
Tracks UTF-8 output and tool-call bytes with translatorBudget. Maps supported incomplete reasons to length or content_filter and rejects unsupported reasons with a typed error.
Chat fallback serialization and request lifecycle
src/server/chat-completions.ts, src/server/chat-native-sse.ts, src/server/chat-native.ts
Uses the shared SSE serializer for JSON-backed streaming. Preserves converted fields and tool indexes. Adds budgeted serialization, overflow responses, typed stream errors, and non-stream request-log finalization.
Fallback validation and documentation
tests/responses/chat-json-sse-fallback.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/proxy-formats.md, structure/04-transports-and-sidecars.md
Tests content, reasoning, tool calls, finish reasons, incomplete responses, cancellation, Unicode fragments, budget limits, logs, and usage. Documents the fallback behavior and registers the test layout.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 723e5

The JSON-to-SSE fallback preserves additional Chat completion semantics, but refusal content may still be omitted and non-streaming/error-path regression coverage is incomplete. This can cause clients to receive incomplete refusal information or allow malformed error responses to go undetected, so the outstanding issues should be resolved before merge.

리뷰 · 우선순위 74 / 80

이 PR은 Track2 스택의 맨 아래층이다. 베이스는 현재 dev(HEAD 24c761a05, package 2.45.0)이고, 헤드 브랜치는 codex/track2-protocol-foundation이다. 지금 dev의 Chat 경로를 보면, 업스트림이 JSON으로 끝난 뒤 스트리밍 클라이언트에게 돌려줄 때 src/server/chat-completions.ts 안에서 content만 들고 최소 SSE를 직접 합성한다. tool_calls, reasoning_content, usage, 그리고 incomplete 쪽 finish reason이 스트림에 거의 안 실린다. 같은 의미의 완성본을 이미 responsesJsonToChatCompletion이 만들어 두고도, 스트림 배달만 얇게 잘라 버리는 상태다.

이 PR은 그 구멍을 메운다. JSON→Chat 변환에 incomplete reason 분류와 translatorBudget 계측을 넣고, 네이티브·번역 JSON 폴백이 모두 jsonCompletionSse 한 길로 나가게 맞춘다. token-limit(length)와 content-filter는 도구가 있어도 자기 finish reason을 지키고, 지원하지 않는 incomplete boundary는 typed upstream error로 끊는다. #3779를 이어 받고 #3770을 닫는 층이다. 사용자 눈에 바로 보이는 Chat 스트림 버그이므로 Track2 안에서 가장 먼저 올려야 할 기초다.

스택 위치도 분명하다. #3804(카탈로그 reasoning 정규화), #3805(refusal 보존), #3806(Claude 호환 게이트)가 이 브랜치 위에 쌓여 있다. 최종 통합 CI는 스택 헤드 84c94f3d77에서 돌리고, 아래층은 실패할 때만 진단 CI를 요청하는 방식이다. 이전 통합 런(d60a0716d)은 25잡 통과했다고 본문에 적혀 있고, 이후 per-call argument cap 보정 커밋이 붙은 뒤 현재 런은 아직 queued다. CI가 초록이 되면 #3803부터 아래로 올리는 순서가 맞다.

코드 쪽 핵심은 src/chat/outbound.tsresponsesJsonToChatCompletionsrc/server/chat-native-sse.tsjsonCompletionSse, 그리고 chat-completions.ts/chat-native.ts의 배달·로그 타이밍이다. JSON projection이 끝나기 전에 200 로그를 남기지 않도록 SSE가 아닐 때는 deferred log를 미루고, 변환/직렬화 실패를 non_stream closeReason으로 finalize한다. 테스트는 tests/responses/chat-json-sse-fallback.test.ts에 병렬 tool index, reasoning, incomplete 우선순위, 취소, 버퍼 계정, 직렬화 한도를 모아 두었다.

한 가지 범위 메모: 이 PR에 Track2 전체 plan 문서(devlog/_plan/260907_track2_protocol/*)가 같이 들어 있다. CodeRabbit도 out-of-scope로 짚었다. 스택 기초 PR에 로드맵을 두는 선택일 수 있지만, 구현 리뷰와 plan 리뷰는 구분해서 보면 된다. refusal 내용이 JSON→SSE에서 빠질 수 있다는 지적도 있었는데, 그건 바로 위층 #3805가 담당한다. 아래층을 먼저 올리는 스택 순서가 그 빈틈을 메운다.

라인 563 근처 src/chat/outbound.ts responsesJsonToChatCompletion - 현재 dev는 incomplete를 전부 length로 뭉개고, 스트림 합성은 content만 내보낸다. 이 PR이 finish reason·tool·reasoning·budget을 채운다
라인 chat-completions.ts JSON stream 합성 블록 - 로컬 최소 SSE를 지우고 jsonCompletionSse 공유 경로로 바꾼 점이 이 PR의 본체다
경로 jsonCompletionSse - tool_calls에 index를 안정적으로 붙이고, 프레임 직렬화 바이트를 budget에 잡는다
경로 chat-native.ts finishLog - 직렬화 성공 전에 200을 찍지 않도록 try 안으로 옮긴 타이밍이 맞다
경로 tests/responses/chat-json-sse-fallback.test.ts - 회귀 범위는 충분해 보이지만, 최종 CI 초록 전에는 “통과”로 말하지 말 것
경로 devlog/_plan/260907_track2_protocol - 구현과 무관한 상위 plan 파일이 같은 PR에 섞여 있다

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • Track2 plan 문서를 기초 PR에 같이 둘지, 별도 docs/plan PR로 뺄지
  • 최종 CI(84c94f3d77)가 아직 queued이므로, 초록 확인 후 merge할지 아니면 아래층 진단 CI도 추가로 돌릴지
  • #3805가 refusal을 이어서 고치므로, #3803만 단독 merge해도 사용자 체감 버그의 절반은 남는다 — 스택을 어디까지 한 번에 올릴지

너의 추천
최종 통합 CI가 초록이면 #3803을 맨 먼저 dev에 올린다. plan 문서는 남겨도 무방하지만, merge 노트에 “구현 범위는 chat JSON/SSE semantics”라고 짧게 밝혀 두면 좋다. 그다음 #3804#3805#3806 순으로 이어서 올린다. 라벨은 건드리지 않는다.
