Handle Responses compaction locally without provider summaries, using
conservative history reducers and encrypted router-owned envelopes.
Restore native history across compaction, truncation, restart, and fresh
context while preserving provider-owned state.

Add HTTP, envelope, reducer, restoration, and Codex compatibility tests,
and document the compaction contract and ownership boundary.

Note

Add provider-free local context compaction with encrypted envelopes to router

  • Adds a router-owned compaction pipeline that reduces context history locally without forwarding to the provider, exposing a new /v1/responses/compact endpoint and WebSocket local-compaction path in server.go
  • Retained history is sealed into compressed, AES-GCM-encrypted local envelopes using an installation-owned key with filesystem locking, replacing plaintext native items in context_compaction_envelope.go
  • Implements multiple evidence-preserving reducers: operation retirement (shell commands and patches), source-row pruning, repeated-source deduplication, narration reduction, metadata cleanup, documentation-read truncation, historical-image placeholdering, and repetition collapse
  • Token-budget selection in context_compaction_budget.go tries progressively more aggressive retention plans (output-only, operation retirement, whole-group pruning) and keeps the least aggressive candidate that fits the target plus overshoot ceiling
  • Wrapped Codex now launches with the OpenAI provider display name and request compression disabled in wrap.go
  • Behavioral Change: WebSocket steering requests containing local compaction envelopes are rejected with invalid_websocket_request; local compaction completions no longer admit a provider successor or consume pending steering; the wrapped Codex provider display name changes from Mekugi to OpenAI; no provider-summary fallback exists for local compaction — requests that fail preparation return an explicit HTTP error status

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added local, provider-free context compaction for HTTP, streaming, and WebSocket requests.
    • Preserves important conversation history, tool results, references, diagnostics, and pending steering while reducing context size.
    • Added encrypted, restart-safe storage for retained compaction history.
    • Added support for native and legacy compaction flows, including automatic restoration across follow-up turns.
    • Requests now avoid unsupported compression formats for reliable local processing.
  • Documentation

    • Added specifications and architecture documentation for local context compaction and restoration behavior.

Handle Responses compaction locally without provider summaries, using
conservative history reducers and encrypted router-owned envelopes.
Restore native history across compaction, truncation, restart, and fresh
context while preserving provider-owned state.

Add HTTP, envelope, reducer, restoration, and Codex compatibility tests,
and document the compaction contract and ownership boundary.
Preserve the OpenAI provider identity and disable request compression so
Codex routes manual and automatic compaction through the local JSON
endpoints.

Extend loopback coverage for synthetic ChatGPT authentication, manual
compaction, and compressed-request rejection, and document the launcher
behavior.
Extend provider-free compaction with conservative retirement of older
finished operations, repeated narration, source rows, recognized
documentation bodies, and unreferenced transport metadata. Preserve
authority, active work, references, diagnostics, failures, unknown
states, and native restoration while replacing eligible call/result
groups with versioned factual records.

Add reference-closure, profitability, carrier, ledger, metadata,
narration, and retirement coverage across legacy and V2 Codex flows, and
document the expanded lossy-retention contract.
Share compaction preparation, envelope restoration, and local completion
framing across HTTP and WebSocket transports. Restore local history
before provider projection, reset cached response linkage, preserve
pending steering across local completion, and reject envelopes sent
through steering.

Add WebSocket round-trip and fail-closed coverage, and document local
history replacement, continuation, and resumption behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f867f

Local context compaction lands with encrypted history envelopes and HTTP, streaming, and WebSocket handling. No correctness or data-loss defect was established; the remaining concerns are repeated key-file loading when restoring sealed history (extra I/O and lock contention on busy sessions) and a documentation gap about how compaction failures surface over WebSocket connections. Both are safe to address as follow-ups.

🟠 High router/server_websocket.go:885

A local compaction response leaves s.lastID pointing to the pre-compaction provider response, so the provider-created successor inherits the old history and the next response.create can resend the full timeline, undoing compaction and exceeding the context limit. Update s.lastID for local terminal responses as well.

Pinned tool-result text is enqueued with rows: false, so row and range references in that result are never followed.

Preserve unmatched JSON-RPC messages.

receive discards every unmatched message. If turn/completed arrives before the matching request response, the first call discards it. The next call then waits until the 120-second timeout.

Buffer unmatched messages, or wait for the request response and turn/completed in one loop without discarding either message.

Make the concurrency test prove that all workers share one key.

Each worker seals and opens its own envelope. If two workers created different keys and one overwrote the other, every worker would still pass, because each worker only reads back what it just wrote. The test therefore does not verify the invariant its name claims.

Seal one envelope before the workers start, then have each worker open that shared envelope in addition to its own round trip.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cache the AEAD after the first successful key load.

contextCompactor.cipher acquires the lock, reads the key file, and rebuilds the AEAD on every call. When prepare reaches restore, restore calls open for each input item, and each local envelope causes one cipher call. Multiple local envelopes therefore repeat file locking, key reads, and AEAD initialization. Concurrent sessions also contend on the same lock. Cache the successfully loaded AEAD on contextCompactor and protect the cache with a mutex. Preserve the creation and error paths, and publish the cache only after a successful load. Ordinary requests without local envelopes do not incur this cost.

Comment thread internal/router/context_compaction_read_tool.go
Separate token-budget admission from evidence preservation. Target 50k
visible-string tokens with at most 30k overshoot; reduce eligible completed
output before relaxing whole-operation recency. Compile every candidate
independently, preserve hard protections, and reject inadmissible or no-op
results before envelope sealing.

Add selector, fuzz, native-preservation and transport-admission tests.
Document the budget metric, retention plans and unchanged Codex ownership.

Validation: isolated selector tests pass with race detection, 100 repeated
runs, 100% statement coverage, go vet, and 213539 fuzz executions. Full
router and installed-Codex tests were not run: the local environment has
Go 1.23, requires Go 1.26 for this repository, and cannot resolve external
hosts to obtain the toolchain and dependencies.

Implemented and pushed in 5307d52: budget-aware native working-set selection.

The selector owns token pressure/admission; existing reducers continue to own evidence preservation, reference closure, terminal-state recognition and atomic reasoning/tool retirement. The target is 50,000 native visible-string tokens with at most 30,000 overshoot (80,000 admission ceiling), not a change to Codex's automatic compaction trigger.

Retention plans run independently from the same original history: (operations, outputs) = (8,8), (8,1), (4,1), (2,1), (1,1). Completed-output bulk is made eligible before relaxing whole-operation recency, so exact native calls and reasoning can survive the bulk they produced. Existing hard protections still apply. The newest operation/result is never made eligible by pressure.

Stop at the first candidate reaching 50k; otherwise choose the smallest candidate within 80k, with stable ties favoring the earlier plan. Never chain lossy candidates or assume more aggressive retention necessarily saves more tokens. Already-small histories do not escalate merely to manufacture a successful reduction. Counting failure, no actual token savings, trigger-only input and an unattainable ceiling fail before envelope sealing. The shared preparation path covers HTTP/SSE and WebSocket. Encryption, restoration, provider-free operation and Codex scheduling are unchanged.

Validation performed: exact standalone selector sources tested under Go 1.23; go test -race -count=100 -cover ./... passes with 100% selector statement coverage; go vet ./... passes; fuzzing passed 213,539 executions. Changed Go files are gofmt-clean and the diff passes whitespace checking. Uploaded blob hashes match the validated local files.

Added but not run here: actual-tokenizer/native-preservation and HTTP/V2 admission integration tests, including output-first pressure, exact authority/reference/failure/live-state preservation, restart restoration and overshoot boundaries. Full router and installed-Codex tests could not run because the environment has Go 1.23 while this repository requires 1.26, and external DNS/toolchain/dependency downloads are unavailable. At verification, GitGuardian passed and Macroscope was still running; no PR-triggered Actions run was returned.

This improves budget enforcement and retention architecture, but does not establish near-zero impactful context loss empirically. Omitted historical details remain unavailable; paired real-history continuation/outcome evaluation is still needed for that claim.

Comment thread internal/router/context_compaction_source.go Outdated
Decode JavaScript NonEscapeCharacter, legacy octal and non-octal decimal
escapes before evidence selection. Honor octal digit boundaries, Unicode
identity characters and line continuations. Preserve the original text
and a single decoded layer; malformed UTF-8 remains unsafe.

Previously 3\:0003 and non-strict 3\720003 were treated as unreferenced,
allowing the exact referenced source row to be pruned. Decode them without
globally pinning unrelated output or changing the token-budget policy.

Add decoder/row-preservation regressions and source-frontier cases for
assistant text, pending exec arguments and pending Code Mode input at
both the normal and pressure frontiers, including repeated compaction.

Validation: reproduced omission with the original production decoder and
row-pruning functions in an isolated Go 1.23 harness; regressions pass
after the fix. Decoder matches Node.js on 11198 escape cases. Isolated
go test -race -count=10 and go vet pass; changed files are gofmt-clean.
Full router/frontier integration tests could not run: the environment
has Go 1.23, this repository requires Go 1.26, and external DNS is unavailable.

The later cat/hread result is still retired after the search output is replaced with a reference to it, so the reference can point to a ledger record whose verbatim listing has been removed and the only copy of the search evidence is lost. protected is passed to reduceRepeatedCompactionRows but not to retireCompactionOperationsWithFrontier; pass the protected replacement calls into retirement, or skip this substitution when the replacement is eligible for retirement.

Add `hcat` to read-command mapping while retaining legacy `hread`
compatibility for historical records. Update repeated-context reference
collection to include assistant `message` evidence (in addition to
function output records), and make retirement pin and keep replacement
evidence-derived references before candidate eviction. Add focused
compaction tests that verify replacement outputs and dependencies
survive repeated compaction and retirement paths, including
deduplication and ledger scenarios.

seal can return a compaction envelope larger than responsesRequestBufferBytes, so a successfully compacted history is rejected when replayed on the next turn. The check at line 83 only bounds the uncompressed JSON; compression, AES overhead, base64 expansion, and envelope metadata are not included. Check the final marshaled envelope size before returning it.

Terminal nonzero Code Mode results with operation.notice != nil are never reduced, so the failed execution remains in its native envelope and continues consuming context until compaction misses its budget. The operation.notice != nil guard at line 680 bypasses compactionFailedOutput, while the later branch only accepts successful contextCompactionOutput results; route notice results through compactionFailedOutput with the notice validation retained, or add equivalent nonzero handling.

🟡 Medium router/context_compaction_operation.go:88

When a generated patch literal contains \a, compaction computes the patch_sha256 for a bell character even though JavaScript evaluates \a as the character a; the historical invocation therefore gets an identifier for a patch that was not applied. The fallback to strconv.Unquote applies Go escape semantics, so replace it with JavaScript-compatible string decoding (or reject non-JSON literals) before hashing.

A failed rand.Read still writes the 32-byte buffer to disk and uses it for encryption, so a CSPRNG failure can create compaction envelopes with a predictable or invalid installation key instead of failing closed. Check the rand.Read error before creating the key file.

go test -exec xprog output is classified as ordinary Go test output, so matching lines emitted by xprog are irreversibly removed after a successful run. contextCompactionCommand only checks args[1] == "test" and ignores -exec; reject -exec (including -exec=) before returning go-test.

Make local reductions conservative by requiring corroborated Go test
progress, validating tool payloads and identities, bounding oversized
evidence lines, and following row references exposed by retained tool
output.

Propagate cancellation, cache the local AEAD safely, preserve WebSocket
retention accounting, and document the updated HTTP/WebSocket failure
behavior.
Reduce recognized terminal `go test` output to pass/fail status and
distinct failed test names, including results that are recent or
referenced. Preserve live and unknown results while limiting generic
failed-operation reduction to unreferenced verified source rows.

Update reference traversal, retirement handling, documentation, and
regression coverage for idempotent summaries and native execution
headers.
Add content-independent fallback selection targeting 50,000
visible-string tokens, with prioritized excerpts, repetition reduction,
omission notices, and explicit required-instruction floors.

Replace ordinary historical images with `[Image]` placeholders while
preserving fresh and mandatory images. Add encrypted v2 reconciliation
receipts and pressure diagnostics for carried messages, while retaining
legacy envelope readability and failing closed on overlapping history.
