fix(server): name the ceiling that refused, and let an operator see and clear one root (#4546) - #4657
Conversation
…nd clear one root (#4546) The workflow budget could refuse a task and leave nothing behind to explain it. Two specific gaps, both measured against the code rather than assumed. The refusal never reached the request log at all. runAdmittedHttpTurn returns before it calls work(), and every addFinalRequestLog in that file is inside work, so there was no row and no context to mark. And the ceiling name never reached the client either: classifyError rewrites every 429 to rate_limit_error / rate_limit_exceeded, so the body was shaped exactly like a provider rate limit and the workflow_budget_exhausted type argument was discarded on the way out. All four count denials also shared one sentence about a "concurrent-work limit", which was true of exactly one of them -- a task that had hit the SEND ceiling was told to wait for turns to finish, and waiting never helped because nothing was running. Each denial now has its own sentence naming its ceiling and saying this proxy decided it without contacting anyone. The wire status and type are unchanged on purpose, since altering them changes how every client retries, so the machine-readable name rides alongside on x-opencodex-local-refusal. Nothing upstream sets that header, which is what makes its presence conclusive. Both call sites now go through one src/server/workflow-refusal.ts instead of two inline blocks that had drifted apart; where a log context exists, the row is marked synthetic through the same helper #4639 introduced. A refusal that parsed no body, chose no model and contacted no provider is not a usage row, and forcing one would put a fabricated model and provider into usage.jsonl. It goes instead into a bounded ring of recent budget events inside the budget itself, recorded at every refusal return site in admitWorkflowTurn -- including the spend denials, which are decided inside the ledger branch and never surface to the caller that formats the response. GET /api/workflow-budget reads the tracked roots or one root, and POST /api/workflow-budget/clear clears exactly one. The clear is bounded in a specific way: it moves the windowed send ring and the child map and nothing else. active belongs to turns still in flight, and zeroing it would let their releases drive the count negative and hand out slots already taken. The spend ledger is money an operator did not ask to forgive, and a count ceiling is not a licence to reset it. The lifetime send total survives too, so clearing a ceiling cannot launder the record of what the root actually did. A test drives that last one directly: after a clear, an exhausted token budget still refuses. Both routes are declared deferred-verb in the route registry. They are owed CLI verbs and the ledger is process memory, so unlike the Lab routes there is no local projection the CLI could read instead. Local suite, typecheck, install and build: NOT RUN, per the standing instruction. Hosted CI at the exact head is the only proof. Pushed --no-verify.

These new operator-facing endpoints are absent from docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/management-api.md and all other public documentation, so operators cannot discover the root/limit inputs, response schema, or destructive clear semantics from the supported reference. Add both routes and their authentication, validation, and error behavior to the management API documentation.

When a request passes HTTP admission below the send ceiling but another concurrent turn charges the same root to the ceiling while this request is being parsed, this second check returns the local 429 without calling admitWorkflowTurn. Since only admitWorkflowTurn appends refusal events, /api/workflow-budget omits this refusal despite the new endpoint promising a complete recent refusal record; record the event at this check or route both checks through a shared recording operation.

For browser clients using an allowed cross-origin data-plane origin, Fetch hides this non-safelisted response header because corsHeaders does not emit Access-Control-Expose-Headers. Consequently the new machine-readable distinction cannot be read by supported browser SDK callers even when withCors preserves the header; add x-opencodex-local-refusal to the exposed response headers and ensure the early admission refusal receives the normal CORS wrapper.

…ts header (#4546) CI caught one test and an independent plan review caught two real gaps. The test failure was mine and it was the fixture-assumption mistake again: the tracked-roots ordering test released each lease, and release() stamps lastSeenMs from the wall clock because it feeds eviction ordering rather than a ceiling. Three injected timestamps collapsed into three near-identical real ones. The leases now stay open, which is what the test was actually about. The review's blocking finding was that skipping the request-log row was a choice, not a constraint. addFinalRequestLog takes whatever model and provider the context carries, and the /v1/responses caller already seeds unknown/unknown before the turn runs -- the same placeholder the native passthrough path writes. So the refusal now writes a real row through that context: terminalSource synthetic, a local reason, and an error code naming the ceiling, which wins over the generic 429 classification in the logs column. Only /v1/responses threads it, because the workflow root is the Codex x-codex-parent-thread-id header and no other inbound wire carries it. Second finding: the marker header was invisible to the dashboard. The data plane never sets Access-Control-Expose-Headers, so cross-origin JavaScript could not read it and the marker was useful to curl and to nothing else. The refusal now exposes it. The wire body is deliberately still rate_limit_error / rate_limit_exceeded. The review asked for a distinct error code through classifyError; that changes how every client classifies a 429 from this proxy, and the surface an operator actually reads is the log row, which now carries the name. Also recorded the two routes in structure/gui-and-management-api.md. Local suite, typecheck, install and build: NOT RUN. Hosted CI at the exact head.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Record the pre-dispatch refusal in the bounded event ring
workflowSendCeilingReached only reads the root state, and workflowRefusalResponse only creates the synthetic request-log row and response. Therefore, src/server/responses/core.ts:5358-5361 records zero budget events for this refusal. The management route reads listWorkflowBudgetEvents, so it cannot show this refusal. HTTP admission refusals remain recorded by admitWorkflowTurn through its refuse() closure.
The acceptance contract requires every refusal to enter the ring. Record this refusal only at the pre-dispatch call site. Do not record it inside workflowRefusalResponse, because the HTTP-admission path already records its refusal and would then double-record it.
🐛 Proposed fix
Add a helper in src/lib/workflow-budget.ts:
/** Records a refusal made by a pre-dispatch send-ceiling check. */
export function recordWorkflowSendCeilingRefusal(
rootId: string,
now: number = Date.now(),
): void {
const state = roots.get(rootId);
recordBudgetEvent({
at: now,
kind: "refused",
rootId,
reason: "workflow-sends-exhausted",
sends: state ? windowedSends(state, now) : 0,
children: state ? windowedChildren(state, now) : 0,
});
}Import it in src/server/responses/core.ts and call it only in the pre-dispatch branch:
if (workflowSendCeilingReached(workflowRootId)) {
if (workflowRootId) recordWorkflowSendCeilingRefusal(workflowRootId);
return workflowRefusalResponse("workflow-sends-exhausted", logCtx);
}This is a minor functional-correctness gap. The refusal still returns correctly and marks the request-log row synthetic, but the management event view is incomplete.

Assert the preserved rate-limit body shape.
workflowRefusalResponse calls formatErrorResponse with status 429 at src/server/workflow-refusal.ts:69-73. formatErrorResponse calls classifyError, which maps every 429 to rate_limit_error and rate_limit_exceeded in src/lib/errors.ts:257-266. The test at tests/lib/workflow-budget.test.ts:419-423 checks only the status and header, so it will not detect a regression in either body field. The plan documents this wire-compatibility contract.

…ad the header (#4546) Second review round found that both of the first round's fixes stopped short. The claim that only /v1/responses carries the Codex parent-thread header was wrong. /v1/responses/compact carries it too -- its existing tests send it -- and runAdmittedHttpTurn reads it for every caller, so a compact refusal still left nothing on /api/logs. Every inbound surface that opens a request-log row now threads it: compact, images, context history, alpha search, messages, chat completions, audio transcriptions and live. /v1/messages/count_tokens is the one that does not, because it opens no row at all. Exposing the marker header was pointless while the admission refusal returned a raw Response. Access-Control-Expose-Headers without Access-Control-Allow-Origin is unreadable to cross-origin JavaScript, so the header remained useful to curl and to nothing else. The refusal is wrapped in withCors now. The pre-dispatch ceiling check in the responses path is a second refusal taken after admission already succeeded, so nothing inside the budget module saw it: it was the one refusal an operator could hit that left no event behind. It records one now, through a seam that only a caller which decided the refusal itself uses, so admitWorkflowTurn's own denials are not double-counted. The review also pointed out that a unit test on the helper proves the helper and not the wiring, and the wiring is exactly where this went wrong twice. A source guard now asserts that every runAdmittedHttpTurn call site but one threads a refusal row, and that the refusal is CORS-wrapped. Local suite, typecheck, install and build: NOT RUN. Hosted CI at the exact head.
…racles (#4546) Two source-oracle tests asserted the literal "req,\n policy,\n ));" inside the Anthropic and chat branches. The invariant they exist for is that withCors finishes with the receiving listener's policy rather than the public config. The closing "));" was the outer runAdmittedHttpTurn call's terminator, which has nothing to do with that, and both went red the moment that call gained a fourth argument. The assertions now stop at the closing paren of withCors, so they still fail on config and no longer fail on an unrelated argument. Local suite, typecheck, install and build: NOT RUN.

Summary
The workflow budget could refuse a task and leave nothing behind that explained it. Two gaps, both measured against the code:
runAdmittedHttpTurnreturns before it callswork(), and everyaddFinalRequestLoginsrc/server/index.tsis insidework. There was no row and no context to mark.classifyErrorrewrites every 429 torate_limit_error/rate_limit_exceeded, so the body was shaped exactly like a provider rate limit and theworkflow_budget_exhaustedtype argument was discarded on the way out. All four count denials also shared one sentence about a "concurrent-work limit", which was true of exactly one of them — a task that had hit the send ceiling was told to wait for turns to finish, and waiting never helped because nothing was running.Before:
429 {"error":{"type":"rate_limit_error","code":"rate_limit_exceeded","message":"This task has reached its concurrent-work limit..."}}— indistinguishable from an upstream rate limit, for any of four different ceilings.After: the same status and type (changing them would change how every client retries), a message naming the ceiling that actually fired and stating that no provider was contacted, and
x-opencodex-local-refusal: workflow_sends_exhaustedbeside it. Nothing upstream sets that header, which is what makes its presence conclusive.Both call sites now go through one
src/server/workflow-refusal.tsrather than two inline blocks that had drifted apart. Where a request-log context exists — the pre-dispatch check inresponses/core.ts— the row is additionally marked synthetic through the helper #4639 introduced.A refusal that parsed no body, chose no model and contacted no provider is not a usage row, and forcing one would put a fabricated model and provider into
usage.jsonl. It goes instead into a bounded ring of recent budget events inside the budget itself, recorded at every refusal return site inadmitWorkflowTurn— including the spend denials, which are decided inside the ledger branch and never surface to the caller that formats the response.GET /api/workflow-budgetreads the tracked roots or one root;POST /api/workflow-budget/clearclears exactly one. The clear moves the windowed send ring and the child map and nothing else:activebelongs to turns still in flight; zeroing it would let their releases drive the count negative and hand out concurrency slots already taken.Both routes are declared
deferred-verbin the route registry. They are owed CLI verbs, and because the ledger is process memory there is no local projection the CLI could read instead, unlike the Lab routes.Follows #4654, which replaced the lifetime ceilings with windowed ones.
