feat(responses): route manual /compact to a configurable model and effort

[nahuelb]

Summary

Adds an optional manualCompaction setting ({ "model", "reasoningEffort"? }) that sends Codex's manual /compact request to a different model while every other request stays on the conversation's model. It is configurable from Dashboard → Overview → Manual compaction or in config.json, and GET/PUT /api/settings round-trip it (null clears it).

Why. When a long conversation on an expensive model sits idle past the provider's prompt-cache window, the next request re-reads the whole context at the uncached input price. At that point there are three ways forward:

1. Keep working with the expensive model. The next turn pays the uncached price for the full context once and the cache is warm again, but the context is still large, so the next expiry costs the same again.
2. Run /compact with the expensive model. The summarization turn itself reads the full context uncached at expensive-model rates; only afterwards does the conversation continue on a small context.
3. Run /compact with a cheap model, then keep working with the expensive model. The full uncached read happens once at cheap-model rates, and the expensive model resumes on the compacted context, so its own re-warm is priced on the small context.

Option 3 is what this PR enables. Codex offers no per-command model selection, and OpenCodex previously routed the compaction request exactly like an ordinary turn.

How it works.

• Trigger: only requests whose x-codex-turn-metadata (header, or client_metadata on the Responses body) carries request_kind: "compaction" and compaction.trigger: "manual", and on /v1/responses also a compaction_trigger input item. Every supplied copy must agree. Automatic compaction, ordinary turns, malformed or absent metadata, and older clients without trigger metadata are untouched. WebSocket frames use only their own per-frame metadata.
• The override is applied before routing in both /v1/responses (v2 compaction_trigger) and native /v1/responses/compact (v1). It rewrites only model and, when configured, reasoning.effort; the existing compaction handlers, summary formats, capability handling and retry budgets are reused. Native compact keeps stripping reasoning before sending.
• Provider identity (manualCompactionKeepsProviderIdentity): when the selected model stays on the conversation's provider (same provider name, Codex account mode and namespace), the caller's credential is kept and the native compact endpoint stays available. When it crosses providers, the credential domain is treated as rewritten, the same way a shadow-call intercept is, and the portable routed summarizer runs even for a native-capable target: native /responses/compact ciphertext replays only on the backend that minted it, and the conversation model would otherwise resume with an omission marker in place of its history.
• Manual overrides skip shadow-call interception and combo session recall, and never publish combo or handoff recall for the conversation, so later turns keep their own routing. Internal handoffs (combo children, fallback attempts) carry the override record as a recursion guard.
• Disclosure: the panel states next to the picker that the selected model's provider receives the entire conversation for summarization, even when the conversation runs on another provider, and names that provider (or the selector, for combos) once a model is chosen. Translated in all nine locales. A hand-edited invalid manualCompaction block now logs a startup warning when it is dropped, and request logs keep the conversation model in requestedModel while model records the override target.
• Config: model accepts native ids, provider/model ids and combos; reasoningEffort must be a declared effort. The management route validates the block, restores the previous value and its deletion intent when persistence fails, and malformed hand edits disable the block without discarding providers. Docs: docs-site/.../reference/configuration/server.md; maintainer notes in structure/transports/responses.md and the touched structure/ owners.

Verification

Head efee4b46f, rebased onto the current dev tip (4f8656cc0, 0 behind). Seven commits: the feature, the provider-identity fix from the first review pass, the disclosure/warning/log follow-ups from review comments, and the CodeRabbit follow-ups (a /v1/responses override now also requires a compaction_trigger input item so manual metadata alone cannot move an ordinary turn; absent manualCompaction treated as unset in the panel; translated effort labels with the ultra key in all locales), and the second CodeRabbit round (a bare conversation model the lane remembers as a combo target counts as a combo source and always gets a portable summary; the panel discloses a combo selector's target providers and failover; French terminology; full identity condition in the docs), and a third round (a configured combo target is recorded as targetCombo so same-provider concrete children stay portable; Turkish terminology; Grok note scoped; direct rollback assertion), and a layout pass that lays the panel out like the neighbouring dashboard panels (copy left, controls right).

• bun run typecheck: clean. bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan, bun run lint:gui: pass.
• bun run test (full suite, --parallel=4, Linux x64, Bun 1.4.2): 26,138 pass, 24 skip, 15 fail across 1,333 files. Every failure was rerun alone on this branch and on the unmodified dev tip in the same environment: file-size-ratchet was mine (src/config.ts grew two lines; fixed by folding the new call onto existing lines, now 460/460) and the remaining ones fail identically on the baseline (client-connect desktop-copy coherence ×3 at the 5 s timeout, codex-composed-acceptance real-startup timeouts, responses-state icacls timeout, plus load-induced flakes that passed solo: claude-native-passthrough, remote-workspace-command-runner, cursor-images, codebuddy-adapter, ws-native-steering). Hosted CI has not run.
• Focused after the rebase: bun test tests/responses/responses-manual-compaction.test.ts tests/responses/responses-compaction.test.ts tests/responses/responses-compaction-routing.test.ts tests/responses/compaction-progress.test.ts tests/responses/openai-responses-passthrough.test.ts tests/responses/passthrough-override.test.ts tests/config/settings-stream-mode.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/structure-ssot.test.ts: 508 pass. GUI: cd gui && bun test tests: 2,080 pass across 260 files (includes the panel, disclosure, and locale-parity tests).
• Independent review-agent passes on the branch diff: the first found a P1 (a cross-provider override could return native /responses/compact ciphertext the conversation model cannot replay) and a P2 (caller credential stripped even for a same-provider override); a follow-up found the P1 fix still let the canonical ChatGPT compaction_trigger passthrough mint ciphertext. All three are fixed in the second commit with regression tests that fail on the first commit. A third pass after the rebase reported no P0-P2 and three P3s, two fixed here (load warning, source model in logs; the third, combo ids in the picker, was a false positive since the management model rows already include combos) and one more P3 on the disclosure's provider label for bare/combo selectors, fixed.
• The trigger contract follows Codex's x-codex-turn-metadata (request_kind, compaction.trigger); this PR was not exercised against a live Codex session during preparation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Manual compaction now supports a persisted model and reasoning-effort override. The dashboard manages the setting through /api/settings. Responses ingress applies it only to explicitly marked manual compaction requests and selects native or portable summarization according to provider identity.

Requesting one product-boundary change before this can leave draft.

A cross-provider manual compaction sends the full conversation to the selected provider. The public docs explain the routing and credential behavior, but the Dashboard surface only says “Choose a model” and “The model must accept the full conversation.” It does not tell the operator that selecting a model on another provider transmits the conversation contents to that provider. Because this setting is persistent and the provider picker makes cross-provider selection easy, that destination change needs an explicit visible disclosure at the point of configuration (and matching translations), ideally naming that the entire conversation is sent for summarization. Do not silently rely on the model namespace or the longer docs page as consent.

The implementation is otherwise thoughtfully scoped to explicit manual-compaction metadata, and the portable-summary boundary for cross-provider targets is the right direction. This remains a 48-file Responses-core/config/GUI change, however: test:changed did not complete and hosted CI has not run. After the disclosure is added, rebase the current one-commit drift, resolve automated review, and run the complete PR-ready suite required by AGENTS.md before requesting approval.

Thanks for the review. Addressed in 3ffb1f4, on top of a rebase onto the current dev tip:

• Disclosure at the point of configuration. The panel now carries a standing line under the description ("Manual /compact sends the entire conversation to the selected model's provider for summarization, even when the conversation runs on another provider") and, as soon as a model is chosen, a warning callout naming the destination ("With this setting, every manual /compact sends the full conversation contents to <provider> for summarization"). Both strings are translated in all nine locales, covered by a GUI test, documented in the server reference, and shown in the updated screenshot in the description.
• Rebase. The branch sits on 5061f2c95 (0 behind dev); the only conflict was additive in config-routes.ts (codexDesktopSwitches and manualCompaction both kept).
• Full suite. bun run test on the rebased branch: 26,138 pass / 24 skip / 15 fail across 1,333 files. One failure was mine (the src/config.ts file-size ratchet; fixed, back to 460/460). The rest fail identically on the unmodified dev tip in this environment (desktop-copy coherence 5 s timeouts, real-startup and icacls timeouts) or passed when rerun alone; details in the Verification section.
• Two small follow-ups from an independent review pass landed in the same commit: a load-time warning when a hand-edited invalid manualCompaction block is dropped, and request logs now keep the conversation model as requestedModel.

Leaving the PR in draft with the readiness boxes unticked until hosted CI and automated review have run.

nice ive seen you on x Ill merge after refactor finishes!

Closing this PR as superseded by #5202, which explicitly carried this implementation with contributor attribution and is now included in main at 7c625fc (2.60.0).

The shipped setting is compactionRouting rather than the unshipped manualCompaction. Manual /compact remains the default; automatic compaction is a separate triggers opt-in. The main implementation is in src/server/responses/compaction-routing.ts. Remaining disclosure corrections stay tracked in #5216.

Thank you for the original implementation. No additional code merge or branch deletion is needed for this closeout.
