Fixes Codex sessions stopping when ChatGPT OAuth returns usage_limit_reached in an HTTP 200 Responses SSE or WebSocket event.

  • Retry an initial HTTP SSE quota event on an untried OAuth account before exposing bytes.
  • Mark later HTTP SSE quota events for the next turn without replaying partial output.
  • Close Codex WebSocket sessions with 1012 after rerouting so the client reconnects with a full response.create.
  • Try untried Codex OAuth accounts even when scheduler headroom is stale.
  • Preserve connection and buffer bounds.

Tests: go test ./..., go test -race ./internal/proxy, go vet ./...

Summary by cubic

Fails over Codex streaming quota errors to another ChatGPT OAuth account without leaking partial output. Previously, a 200 SSE or a WebSocket quota event ended the session; now the first SSE quota event is retried before any bytes are exposed, later SSE quota events only mark for the next turn, and WebSockets close with 1012 so the client reconnects for a full response.create.

  • HTTP SSE: Inspect the initial event (≤256 KiB or ≤500 ms). Treat response.created/response.in_progress as metadata and retry usage_limit_reached before streaming; after output begins, only mark exhaustion for the next turn. Streams are never rewritten; a passive observer detects quota in-flight without altering bytes.
  • WebSocket: Gate upstream→client text frames with a bounded lazy writer. On Codex OAuth quota, mark exhaustion, suppress the error frame, send Close 1012 (Service Restart), keep retry state to avoid double-close, and coordinate socket shutdown so the client reconnects and resends response.create.
  • Scheduling/routing: Try untried Codex OAuth accounts even if scheduler exhaustion is stale. Attribute responses with routed account ID and auth mode via request context; captureResponseBody now receives auth mode.
  • Safety/bounds: Bound inspection budgets and release gate buffers on overflow. Preserve exact upstream bytes and classify fragmented SSE events. Recognize additional Codex response paths.
  • Tests: Add coverage for bounded SSE first-event retry, next-turn marking after later SSE quota events, WebSocket suppression and 1012 reconnect with full response.create, and fragmented SSE parsing.

Written for commit 36fa510. Summary will update on new commits.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The proxy adds Codex quota detection and failover for HTTP SSE and WebSocket sessions. It tracks routed account metadata, retries through alternate OAuth accounts, preserves streamed data, and adds tests for routing, replay, fragmentation, and connection handling.

Changes

Codex quota failover

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry context and account routing
internal/proxy/proxy.go, internal/proxy/claude_failover_test.go, internal/proxy/claude_ratelimit_routing_test.go, internal/proxy/proxy_websocket_test.go
Retry attempts track the routed account and authentication mode. Codex retries can use untried OAuth accounts despite stale exhaustion marks. Existing captureResponseBody tests pass the authentication mode.
HTTP SSE quota observation
internal/proxy/proxy.go, internal/proxy/proxy_websocket_test.go
Codex Responses paths use bounded initial inspection and streaming SSE observation. Quota events are detected across fragmented events without changing client-visible bytes.
WebSocket quota failover
internal/proxy/proxy.go, internal/proxy/proxy_websocket_test.go
WebSocket forwarding detects quota frames, coordinates connection shutdown, limits buffered frames, reconnects through another OAuth account, and resends the original request. Tests cover routing and close handling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5b28e

The PR adds Codex quota failover, but the current implementation can retain WebSocket inspection reservations after a writer-opening failure, consuming capacity for later sessions; it also risks skipping failover on wrapped EOF errors and currently leaves dial response bodies unclosed, causing a lint failure. Merge readiness is moderate until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Align the test name with the behavior it asserts.

The name says ...ForNextTurn, but the first-turn assertion at Line 2362 requires the quota event to be hidden by same-turn failover, and the auth sequence at Line 2373 proves the first turn retried. The test verifies same-turn retry and next-turn routing together. Rename it to something like TestHandlerFailsOverCodexHTTP200StreamingUsageLimitAcrossTurns so a future reader does not assume next-turn marking is the only guarantee.

Record why the fallback account is now an API key.

This test asserts the client receives the usage_limit_reached frame. If healthy@example.com stayed on AuthModeOAuth, the new WebSocket reroute would find an untried OAuth candidate, suppress the frame, and close with 1012, so the assertion at Line 3701 would fail. TestHandlerRetriesCodexWebSocketUsageLimitOnAlternateOAuthAccount now covers the OAuth-fallback path. Add a short comment here so the auth mode is not changed back by mistake.

Add cases for the CRLF boundary and the buffer trim.

TestCodexUsageObserverPreservesFragmentedSSE covers LF-delimited events well. Two new branches stay untested: the \r\n\r\n boundary at Line 4247 in sseEventBoundary, and the codexUsageEventBufferBytes trim at Line 4225 that must not drop a quota event straddling the trim point. Add a CRLF variant and a case that pushes more than 1MB of delimiter-free bytes before the quota event.

5289-5292: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider making the initial-SSE gate bound configurable and observable.

codexInitialSSEInspectTimeout adds up to 500ms before the proxy releases response headers for every Codex OAuth Responses SSE request. When the provider is slow to emit response.created, that delay is user-visible as added time to first byte. The timeout path is handled safely, but it is currently silent.

Emit a debug log or a counter when the gate expires, so the frequency of the added latency is measurable before tuning the constant.

4912-4912: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the cost of ignoring Codex exhaustion marks.

Codex candidates now bypass the scheduler.Exhausted gate in two places. When every Codex OAuth account is genuinely depleted, each request spends up to maxAttempts upstream calls before it gives up, and retryAccount at Line 4912 can return a known-exhausted account with no retry loop behind it. The tried set and maxAttempts keep this bounded per request, so the behavior is safe, but the added upstream load is invisible today.

Add a counter or a log field for "Codex candidate selected despite an exhaustion mark" so that a fully depleted pool is distinguishable from a stale-mark recovery in production.

The same policy is now encoded twice with two different comments. Consider a single helper, for example codexIgnoresExhaustionMarks(provider), so both call sites cannot drift.
