test(combos): pin the second gateway response_format refusal envelope - #5040
Conversation
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.

리뷰 · 우선순위 77 / 80설명 이 PR은 #5035가 다시 연 #4903 계열 재발을 제품 코드로 고치지 않고, 이미 본문이 Alibaba 쪽이 나아진 이유를 페일오버로 읽지 않은 것도 맞습니다. #4888이 2.58.0에 실려 의도적으로 안 한 일도 현재 카탈로그와 맞습니다. hop 집합을 넓히지 않았고, 한계는 검증 쪽입니다. 로컬 스위트 금지가 명시되어 있고, Cross-platform CI는 아직 pending입니다. 계획 문서는 SSE tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.ts 새 describe - 파일은 443→503줄로 2,000줄 미등록 래칫 아래입니다. 제품 메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점
너의 추천 hosted Cross-platform CI(특히 Linux/Windows·게이트)가 이 head에서 통과하면 merge하세요. tip에 이미 올라가 있고, hop 집합을 넓히지 않은 채 두 번째 벤더의 이 댓글은 grok-bot이 작성했습니다 |

Cover the second-gateway frame and code combination.
The first-gateway test already exercises data: ${reported} for both functions at lines 384-391, so the one-line unwrap is covered. The second-gateway test does not combine that frame with its invalid_request_error envelope and omitted outer code. Add these assertions to pin that vendor-specific path:
for (const message of [`Provider error 400: ${body}`, rewrapped]) {
expect(comboFailureDecision(400, message, { code: "invalid_request_error" })).toBe("hop");
expect(comboFailureCooldownScope(400, message, { code: "invalid_request_error" })).toBe("none");
}

✅ Deterministic PR hygiene checks passed. |

Merging, and I want to be explicit that this PR is right because it refused to do what I asked for. I dispatched this as "#4927 generalized less than it needed to" and asked you to find why the second gateway escapes the widened path. It does not escape it. You traced The actual explanation is that the reported build predates the fix, and the proof is mechanical rather than argued: The part I would not have found is why the Alibaba model improved anyway, and it matters because it is what made the report look like a partial fix. It was not failover at all — #4888 landed Shipping a regression that pins the envelope rather than a classifier change is the right deliverable for a case that already works: it converts "we checked" into something that stays checked. |

Summary
#5035 reopens #4903: the reporter confirms
alibaba-token-plan/deepseek-v4.1-flashnow works andreports that
deepseek/deepseek-v4-prostill refusesresponse_formatwith HTTP 400 while thecombo chain does not fall through to
deepseek/deepseek-flash.The natural reading is that #4927 generalized less than it needed to. It did not. This envelope
already hops on
dev, and both halves of the report have a different cause than the textsuggests. No classifier change is included, because none is warranted — widening the hop set until
this case passes is exactly how the distinction between "this target cannot accept this request as
shaped" and "this request is wrong" erodes.
The reported build predates the fix
The issue reports 2.58.0.
v2.58.0is6fe4cd0de8, tagged 2026-09-17 17:40 UTC; #4927 is78c71f789a, authored 2026-09-17 19:49 UTC, two hours and eight minutes later.git merge-base --is-ancestor 78c71f789a v2.58.0exits 1 andgit tag --contains 78c71f789aisempty, so the capability classifier is in no published release.
devcarries it and declares2.59.0, the first release that would.
2.58.0 therefore behaves exactly as reported, for the documented reason: the gateway sends
type: "invalid_request_error", which reaches the generic terminal list incomboFailureDecisionbefore anything asks whether the next target could serve the request.
Why the Alibaba model improved anyway
Not failover. #4888 (
25311bcc00) landed in 2.58.0 and added a probe-backednoJsonSchemaModels: ["deepseek-v4.1-flash"]to both Alibaba Token Plan presets. Its commentquotes the identical upstream string: "Probed 260915 on the plan gateway: json_object returns valid
JSON, strict json_schema is rejected 400 ("This response_format type is unavailable now")."
src/adapters/openai-chat/passthrough.tsrewrites ajson_schemabody tojson_objectfor thatmodel, so the refusal is never provoked and no hop is needed. The two models differ in which remedy
2.58.0 happens to carry, not in how the classifier treats them.
Why the second gateway does not escape the widened path
It does not escape it. Traced against
isResponseFormatCapabilityRefusal(
src/combos/failover.ts:452), the reported body reacheshopin every form the pipeline canproduce: the raw body with
upstreamCodeextracted and with it undefined, theProvider error 400: {...}display wrapper, the singledata: {...}frame, and the proxy's ownre-wrap peeled within the depth budget.
consumeComboFailurehands the classifier the raw upstreambody as
classificationTextplus the extracted code, and nothing between HTTP 400 and theclassifier rewrites it. No earlier
stopintercepts, becauseinvalid_request_erroris neitherorigin_rejected, nor non-replayable, nor a cyber-policy code.The one thing this gateway does that the first never did is send
code: "invalid_request_error"—the code the generic terminal list stops on — at both the outer and the inner level. Alibaba's
invalid_parameter_erroris not a terminal code, so the ordering insidecomboFailureDecisionwasnever load-bearing for it. That is what the new regression block pins, and it is the whole reason a
second vendor confirming the same shape is worth recording.
What was deliberately left out
A
noJsonSchemaModelsrow fordeepseek-v4-prowould be the same remedy #4888 used and isplausible on the evidence, but there is no probe: the reporter's 400 proves the refusal, not that
json_objectis accepted in its place, and downgrading a model that does supportjson_schemasilently degrades the output contract.
deepseek-v4-prois also not on thedeepseekpreset'sroster (
src/providers/registry/entries-core.ts:1018);entries-extended.ts:778records thatDeepSeek retired the id, so there is no maintained model row to annotate. A probe would settle it
and belongs in its own unit.
The second question in the report
The reporter asks whether
gpt-5.6-terraneeds a shadow-call intercept model too. It does not, andit is not a gap.
DEFAULT_SHADOW_SOURCE_MODELSis["gpt-5.6-luna"](
src/lib/shadow-call.ts:10), and Terra's exclusion is deliberate and recorded:devlog/_fin/260723_issue_fixes/020_issue311_shadow_intercept.mdsays it was left out because nocapture showed Codex using it as a helper, with
sourceModelsadded as the escape hatch if thatchanged. Three cases in
tests/responses/responses-shadow-intercept.test.tshold the decision.Terra is a normal native model and a default subagent model, and compaction reuses the
client-selected model through
routeCompactionModel, so Terra traffic in a log is not evidence ofa title call. If a capture ever shows one, the operator-side answer already exists:
shadowCallIntercept.sourceModels: ["gpt-5.6-luna", "gpt-5.6-terra"]. Terra alone would drop Luna,and either spelling intercepts every bare Terra request including foreground and subagent traffic,
which is why it is not the default.
blockedModelRedirectsis the knob for banning Terra outright.No separate issue is warranted.
Closes #5035.
Verification
Local verification was not run for this change, by explicit maintainer instruction for this lane:
no local suite, focused test, typecheck, build, install, or
ocxinvocation. Correctness isargued from source and proven by hosted CI at this head.
tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.tsgains a second-gateway block besidethe existing invalid_request_error没有触发failover #4903 one. It pins the hop and the absent cooldown for the reported envelope with the
code both extracted and undefined, through the display wrapper and the proxy's own re-wrap, and
keeps a malformed-schema complaint and an unrelated unknown-parameter refusal terminal.
src/combos/failover.tsand re-evaluated as a faithfultranscription outside the repository, confirming
hopfor all four envelopes andstopfor bothterminal guards. That is a reasoning aid, not a substitute for CI.
scripts/test-layout/layout.jsonandtests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.jsonare unchanged. The touched test file is 503 linesagainst the 2,000-line unlisted-file ratchet threshold and carries no baseline entry, so the
file-size ratchet is unaffected.
src/change, so nostructure/ownership doc is implicated.Cross-platform CIat this exact head is the gate. macOS legs are unreliable per [Bug]: spawned Bun child processes stop producing output and never exit, on both macOS and Windows CI legs #4956;judge on Linux, Windows and the gates.
