fix(responses): terminal refusals, caller-mismatched reasoning blobs, stable image tiers, and paginated-history containment - #4577
Conversation
…als terminal, and pin image tiers #4469: an upstream that rejects a replayed reasoning encrypted_content with "was not issued to this caller" is now recognised as an authoritative opaque-blob rejection, so the existing strip-and-replay recovery engages instead of surfacing a hard error on every turn. #4312: an Anthropic refusal/content_filter stop reason now yields an explicit non-retryable incomplete terminal instead of a done carrying that stop reason, so Codex stops retrying a sampling request that can never succeed. Partial output, tool-call integrity and usage are preserved; max_tokens is unchanged. #4532: an image's downscaling ladder position is pinned to the image's own identity rather than recomputed from its recency rank, so appending a newer image no longer re-encodes older ones and invalidates Anthropic's prompt prefix cache.

…ted migration #4311: the paginated-history write guard only inspected line 1. A rollout that started legacy and was migrated in place by a newer Codex keeps a legacy first record while writing ordinals onto later ones, so the guard passed and updateSessionMeta appended a cloned session_meta carrying the old ordinal 0. The native projector refuses that ordinal and stops projecting, stranding a live conversation in the app even though later messages keep landing in the raw file. assertLegacyHistoryWritable now also inspects a bounded window of the newest records and refuses before touching the rollout, the SQLite row, the manifest, or the first-line provider. No ordinal is allocated or guessed, and no existing line is rewritten.

When the newest JSONL record is larger than the 1 MiB window, the read starts inside that record and lines.slice(1) removes its only nonempty fragment, returning an empty tail. Large session_meta records are supported because cloned base_instructions can exceed this limit; therefore an ordinal or history_mode marker immediately before such a legacy record is missed, allowing preflight and subsequent legacy mutations to proceed against paginated history. Treat a truncated prefix with no following complete record as unreadable, or extend the scan until a record boundary is found.

This lookup is process-global and keys only on image bytes and media type, so unrelated requests share the recorded tier. For example, an OpenAI Chat request constrained by its 3.5 MiB budget—or any 413 retry—can record position 5 for an image, after which a separate Anthropic conversation using the same original image starts at position 5 and permanently receives a 320px version instead of the normal tier-0 result; concurrent users can likewise affect one another. Scope the stability pin to a conversation/request lineage and provider policy rather than globally by content identity.

Read the complete tail window before parsing it.
src/codex/history-provider.ts:2 binds readSync to node:fs. That API can return fewer bytes than requested. Lines 195-204 parse only window.subarray(0, read), so a short read can omit a later ordinal or history_mode record. assertLegacyHistoryWritable can then allow a legacy append at lines 358-365.
Loop until the window is full. Return null if a later read returns zero. Keep the empty-file check fail-closed:

// Unless the window reached BOF, the first element starts mid-record (and
// possibly mid-codepoint), so it is not a complete line.
return (start === 0 ? lines : lines.slice(1)).filter(line => line.length > 0);
}Do not reject every empty tail. A valid file can have a final record larger than the bounded window, leaving no complete line after the partial prefix is removed. Add a focused regression test that simulates a short positive read followed by completion and asserts that a paginated record in the unread suffix is rejected.

An image can appear more than once in one history, and identity keying collapses those occurrences onto a single store entry. Recording a position during the normalization pass let the OLDEST occurrence win a race against the newest one and drag it down the ladder: a history of 30 copies of one screenshot landed entirely on the oldest copy's tier instead of the age pyramid, and the aggregate demotion loop then started from the wrong positions. Every read in the pass now sees the store as it was before the request, because positions are committed only once the first pass and the demotion loop have both settled. On a cold store that is exactly the pre-#4532 behaviour, so the age-tier and budget contracts hold; across turns the pin still keeps already-emitted bytes stable, which is what #4532 asked for. Fixes the four image-normalization failures in run 34804508255.

readRolloutTailCompleteLinesdrops the first split element when the window starts after BOF. If that element is an oversized paginated record, itsordinalorpayload.history_modemarker is discarded. A later marker-free legacy line can then passassertLegacyHistoryWritable.appendRolloutLine, including the restore path, can append a legacy record after paginated records. This creates mixed history and can stop native projection at the first invalid ordinal.When the window starts inside a record, scan across the boundary until complete records are available, or fail closed before mutation by requiring a persisted migration marker.

Record positions after overflow dropping.
Line 245 records positions before the overflowAction === "drop" loop. That loop can remove an older target from entries because it does not go out on the wire. The store then retains a terminal position for an image that was dropped, so a later request resumes that image at an unnecessarily low tier.
Move the record loop after the overflow-drop loop. The existing entries[i] = null operation will then prevent recording successfully dropped targets.

Merging into dev under the single-maintainer dev integration clause in MAINTAINERS.md. Exact-head evidence at ea5b881: 29 successes, 2 skips, no failures. Reviewed independently before merge. src/server/responses/core.ts treats the reported rejection body as an opaque-blob rejection so the reasoning payload reaches the caller that asked for it; src/adapters/anthropic.ts now emits a non-retryable incomplete result with a content_filter reason on all three terminals, which is what stops Codex retrying a request that can never succeed; src/codex/history-provider.ts inspects a newest-record window and refuses in-place paginated tails, which fixes the projection stop. The image-normalization change was the reason the first heads were red: the emitted-position store keyed only hash and media type and collapsed duplicate images onto one ladder slot, breaking age-tier pass-through. That is resolved at this head. Both identities on the carried contributor branch are credited with Co-authored-by trailers in a branch commit. One residual is recorded rather than claimed: the history issue's second symptom, the provider definition disappearing, is not addressed here. Local suite runs: NOT RUN. Hosted CI at the exact head is the proof of record. |

Summary
Four defects on the Responses path, landed together because they share the same terminal, reasoning-payload and media code and would otherwise conflict.
#4469 — a replayed reasoning blob the backend will never accept is a hard error.
encrypted_contenton a reasoning item is minted per caller identity. Replaying one under a different caller is rejected with[invalid_request_error] reasoning encrypted_content was not issued to this caller, andisSelfIdentifiedOpaqueBlobRejectioninsrc/server/responses/core.tsdid not recognise that wording. It knew the nestedinvalid_encrypted_contentcode, one exact ChatGPT "could not be verified" message, and xAI's twoinvalid-argumentdecoder strings — so the rejection fell through,attemptOpaqueBlobRecoveryskipped, and the user hit the same wall on every turn. Adding the identity lets the existing strip-and-replay recovery engage. The match is anchored onwas not issued to this callertogether with a reasoning orencrypted_contentsubject, because the surrounding contract is explicit that unrelatedinvalid_request_errorprose must never gain a hidden resend.#4312 — Codex retried a refusal five times. An Anthropic
refusal/content_filterstop reason was emitted as{ type: "done", stopReason: "content_filter" }. The bridge turned that intoresponse.incompletewith no retryability signal, which Codex reads as a dropped stream, so it re-sent a sampling request that can never succeed — five times, each a fresh refusal, logged as a 502. All three terminals insrc/adapters/anthropic.ts(emitDone, streaming EOF withoutmessage_stop, and the buffered path) now emit one explicit{ type: "incomplete", reason: "content_filter", retryable: false }. The bridge already forwardsretryableintoincomplete_details; this is the same mechanism a prior fix used forcyber_policy, so no bridge change was needed. The provider's decision stays explicit, partial output and tool-call integrity are preserved, usage is carried through unchanged, andmax_tokensstill terminates asdoneso a legitimate truncation can still be continued.#4532 — appending an image re-encoded the whole history.
initialPositionderived an image's downscaling tier from its recency rank within the current request. Appending a seventh image shifted every older image's rank by one, pushing image 1 from 2000px to 1024px and changing its base64 bytes — which invalidates Anthropic's prompt prefix cache for the entire conversation. The ladder position is now pinned to the image's own identity (content hash + media type). An unseen image still gets the age-derived tier; a seen image resumes where it last emitted. Positions only ever move down the ladder, so the store is monotonic and cannot flap. The tier pyramid, the total byte budget and the 413tierBiasretry are all unchanged.#4311 — paginated history stopped projecting. The write guard added in
7f76d736c2inspected only line 1 of a rollout. A conversation that started legacy and was migrated in place by a newer Codex keeps a legacy first record while writing ordinals onto later ones, so the guard passed andupdateSessionMetaappended a clonedsession_metastill carrying ordinal 0. The native projector refuses that ordinal and stops, stranding a live thread in the app while the raw rollout keeps growing.assertLegacyHistoryWritablenow also inspects a bounded window of the newest records and refuses before touching the rollout, the SQLite row, the manifest or the first-line provider. Per the report, no ordinal is allocated or guessed and no existing line is rewritten — ordinals belong to Codex's live writer.structure/is updated for each owned source area:providers/chat-compat.md,adapters/registry.md,runtime.md,transports/inventory.mdandcodex-home.md.Carried work
Supersedes #4549 by @jiaoyun286, which reported and fixed #4532. That PR's approach — deriving encoding from image content and deleting both the age-tier ladder and the 413 image-retry path — reaches
src/lib/errors.ts,src/images/loop.ts,src/server/image-retry.ts,src/adapters/base.tsandsrc/adapters/openai-chat.ts, which this delivery lane does not own and which other lanes are editing concurrently. The diagnosis was right and is credited: the reimplementation here fixes the same root cause (position derived from relative recency) with a change confined to the two image files, keeping the tier ladder and the 413 retry intact.Co-authored-bytrailers for both of that PR's author identities are in the branch commit.Closes #4469
