📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe proxy classifies upstream WebSocket connect failures, records temporary transport health, denies affected Responses WebSocket handshakes with HTTP 426, bypasses the HTTP bridge when needed, and retries only eligible pre-submit bridge failures over HTTP. ChangesTransport fallback
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change makes clients fall back from unavailable WebSocket upstreams to HTTP, but the current implementation can miss that fallback on some recovery paths or incorrectly force HTTP 426 after route-resolution failures. Clients may remain stuck retrying WebSockets or receive the wrong transport signal, so the PR is not merge-ready until these paths are corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Address Codex review on Soju06#1886: - Gate the connect-stage surface on failure_phase="connect" so OAuth refresh transport errors (and other account-scoped failures sharing the upstream_unavailable envelope) keep the classify-penalize-failover path toward healthy accounts instead of arming the instance-wide 426 marker. The websocket open timeout and invalid-handshake raises now carry that provenance alongside the existing InvalidStatus/OSError sites. - Arm the handshake-denial marker when a websocket open exhausts the request budget, covering deployments whose budget is shorter than the open timeout where the budget-exhausted emit bypasses the failover decision. - Force the HTTP upstream transport on bridged and raw responses paths while the marker is armed, so a sticky follow-up that the 426 denial moved to the HTTP route cannot resolve back onto the unavailable websocket upstream through the smart policy. - Restrict the bridge raw-HTTP replay to failures carrying pre-submit session-creation provenance, so a post-dispatch upstream_unavailable can never dispatch the same turn twice. - Move the marker into _service/streaming/transport_health.py shared by the websocket mixin, the responses websocket routes, and the bridge.

…is unavailable A websocket-only upstream outage currently cascades into account unavailability: every connect timeout records a transient account error, retrying clients drive all accounts into error backoff, and hard session affinity then fails follow-up turns closed with previous_response_owner_unavailable on every transport. codex-rs activates its session-scoped HTTP transport fallback only when the websocket handshake is rejected with HTTP 426 (rust-v0.149.0, core/src/client.rs); in-band 5xx error events retry on the websocket transport, so the existing in-band service-level failures never steer clients to HTTP. - Surface server-level transient websocket connect failures without recording account health or rotating accounts. - Arm a bounded (60s) transport-failure marker on that path, cleared on the next successful upstream websocket connect, and deny responses websocket handshakes with HTTP 426 while it is armed or while upstream_stream_transport is pinned to http. - Bypass the HTTP responses bridge under a pinned http transport and fall back from transient pre-stream bridge session-creation failures to raw HTTP streaming (skipped while an API-key usage reservation is unsettled). Closes Soju06#1885
Address Codex review on Soju06#1886: - Gate the connect-stage surface on failure_phase="connect" so OAuth refresh transport errors (and other account-scoped failures sharing the upstream_unavailable envelope) keep the classify-penalize-failover path toward healthy accounts instead of arming the instance-wide 426 marker. The websocket open timeout and invalid-handshake raises now carry that provenance alongside the existing InvalidStatus/OSError sites. - Arm the handshake-denial marker when a websocket open exhausts the request budget, covering deployments whose budget is shorter than the open timeout where the budget-exhausted emit bypasses the failover decision. - Force the HTTP upstream transport on bridged and raw responses paths while the marker is armed, so a sticky follow-up that the 426 denial moved to the HTTP route cannot resolve back onto the unavailable websocket upstream through the smart policy. - Restrict the bridge raw-HTTP replay to failures carrying pre-submit session-creation provenance, so a post-dispatch upstream_unavailable can never dispatch the same turn twice. - Move the marker into _service/streaming/transport_health.py shared by the websocket mixin, the responses websocket routes, and the bridge.
The budgeted websocket opener's process-network recovery branch reaches the same budget-exhausted emit as the stalled-open branch and bypasses the failover decision, so it must arm the handshake-denial marker too. Only the websocket open runs inside that loop, so the provenance is unambiguous; the outer connect-attempt wrapper also covers token refresh and deliberately stays unarmed.
The model-replacement connect branch surfaces failures without entering the failover decision, so a qualifying connect-phase 5xx transport failure on the replacement open never armed the handshake-denial marker. Extract the provenance classifier shared by both paths and arm the marker in the forced-surface branch too.
The budgeted opener's loop also runs route resolution, whose upstream_proxy_unavailable failures are pre-dispatch route evidence; an exhausted recovery wait on one must not deny subsequent handshakes with 426. Reuse the shared connect-provenance classifier before arming.
The proxy architecture matrix allows http_bridge and websocket to import only their listed domains (support among them, streaming not), so the shared transport-failure marker belongs in _service/support.py rather than a new streaming module. Also align the test harness override of _handle_websocket_connect_error with the base signature for ty.
An exhausted token-refresh loop surfaces the same pre-submit 502 upstream_unavailable envelope as a websocket-open failure, but it is account evidence: replaying it over raw HTTP re-runs the same failing refresh and buries the actionable error under no_accounts (caught by test_v1_responses_http_bridge_transient_refresh_failure_returns_ upstream_error in integration-bridge CI). Gate the wrapper fallback on failure_phase == "connect", mirroring the websocket-side provenance rule, and record the refresh case as a propagation scenario in the OpenSpec delta.

The sanitized error code cannot carry transport provenance in either direction, so classifying on it both missed real outages and captured scoped failures: - The responses policy preserves the upstream handshake body, so a direct 5xx upgrade rejection surfaced as `upstream_error` and never armed the 426 marker — the common direct outage left Codex clients retrying websocket indefinitely. - A routed 5xx handshake, a TLS verification failure and host-wide network loss all share the `upstream_unavailable` envelope, so each was misclassified as a global outage and pushed unrelated clients onto HTTP. The direct upstream open now stamps host-scoped transport provenance and withholds it from credential-scoped rejections, TLS failures, host-wide network loss and every routed open; the shared classifier moves to the support domain and keys on that provenance. Also: - A request budget shorter than the local websocket-connect admission wait expired before the connector ever ran and still armed the marker, answering local contention by forcing every client onto HTTP. The budgeted opener now tracks whether the connector began. - Bridge session creation runs its own pre-dispatch failover and never reaches the websocket failover decision, so bridge-only traffic left the marker clear. The bridge fallback now arms it for failures the classifier recognizes. - The bridge injects the durable anchor into its own prepared payload, but the fallback replays the incoming payload and the raw path never injects a response anchor. A hard-continuity follow-up therefore lost prior context; such turns are no longer replayed over raw HTTP. Regression coverage exercises the real client conversion for each connect site and the real bridge reconstruction for the anchor provenance.

…paths Two places still decided a websocket outage by something other than the connect-site provenance the classifier now carries: - The bridge fallback wrapper still compared the sanitized code against `upstream_unavailable`. A direct 5xx bridge connect preserves the upstream envelope, so it surfaces as `upstream_error` and was rethrown before ever reaching the classifier — the exact outage this change targets stayed on the dead websocket bridge and left the marker clear. The wrapper now gates on the classifier, which subsumes the code, phase and status checks. - The budget-timeout marker keyed on any connector having begun. A stalled routed open therefore armed a process-wide denial from one account's unhealthy proxy endpoint, and because the budget cancels the open rather than failing it, no error exists for the routed exclusion to act on. The progress flag is now confined to the direct connector.

Thanks — this is one of the strongest community PRs in the queue: a live-validated fix for a nasty outage mode, with every bot finding across three review rounds confirmed, fixed, and covered by a regression test. I reviewed the full diff on df95b8d and ran the suites locally: test_websocket_transport_fallback.py 36/36, the five adjacent websocket suites 123/123, and test_proxy_http_bridge.py 639 passed with the single failure (test_stream_via_http_bridge_fails_closed_before_file_affinity_when_previous_response_owner_misses) reproducing identically on the unmodified merge-base, confirming it's pre-existing in this environment as you noted. Two process items before merge, neither requiring code changes from you: (1) the required CI and Simplicity-budgets workflows are still awaiting fork-run approval on df95b8d, so the full suite hasn't run in CI on the final head — we'll approve the run; (2) since the last two P1 fixes (bridge provenance gating in _stream_http_bridge_or_retry, and _WebSocketConnectProgress.direct_upstream_connect_started route-scoping) landed after the latest codex review of 5239ff7, we want one clean @codex re-review round given how productive the prior rounds were on this classifier. One non-blocking observation: in _open_upstream_websocket, clear_upstream_websocket_transport_failure() runs on any successful open, including routed ones — by the PR's own provenance argument a routed success proves only that one account's proxy endpoint is healthy, so a routed success during a direct-upstream outage clears the marker early and costs one extra failed direct attempt before it re-arms. It's bounded and self-correcting, so fine to leave as-is or tighten to route is None in a follow-up. |

Arming became direct-scoped, but clearing did not: any successful open, routed included, cleared the denial state. By this change's own provenance argument a routed success proves only that one account's proxy endpoint is healthy, so a routed success during a direct-upstream outage readmitted handshakes early and cost an extra failed direct attempt before the marker re-armed. Clearing is now direct-scoped too. Because a routed open can neither arm nor clear, an all-routed deployment never uses the marker at all, and a mixed one still expires it on the bounded window.

…pressions The bridge retry circuit's pre-dispatch submission gate suppresses new turns on a cooling hard-affinity session with a bounded 503. For a request whose state is provably undispatched — no client or proxy-injected continuation identity, no file account pin, and none of the unambiguous-boundary markers (response_id, response events, downstream visibility, a pending response.create send, a prior replay) — that 503 now carries the shared pre-submit provenance and the streaming wrapper degrades the turn to raw HTTP instead. Ambiguous continuations keep the bounded 503 with its retry hint, because a replay could execute the turn twice. The pre-submit provenance attribute moves to http_bridge/helpers.py so request_submit.py and streaming.py share one definition.
What
Keeps Codex working when the upstream websocket endpoint is unavailable but plain HTTPS to the ChatGPT backend is healthy. Closes #1885.
codex-rs only falls back to HTTP on an
HTTP 426 Upgrade Requiredat handshake. Every in-band error is retried on the websocket, so a websocket-only outage strands the client with no route to a working upstream.How
Connect-site transport provenance. The direct upstream open stamps host-scoped provenance on the failures that prove the websocket transport itself did not come up — connect timeout, invalid handshake, 5xx upgrade rejection, and connect-phase network errors other than host-wide loss. It withholds that provenance from anything scoped more narrowly: credential-scoped rejections (401/403/429 and any sub-5xx), TLS verification failures, host-wide network loss, and every routed open, which proves only that one account's proxy endpoint is unhealthy. Failures carrying it surface without recording account failure health, so hard-affinity selection stays available for the HTTP retry; everything else keeps the penalized failover path.
Classification keys on that provenance rather than the sanitized error code, which cannot carry it in either direction: the responses policy preserves the upstream handshake body, so a direct 5xx surfaces as
upstream_erroror whatever the edge returned, while OAuth refresh transport errors, routed handshakes and TLS failures all share theupstream_unavailableenvelope.426 handshake denial. That surface, and a request budget exhausted once the direct connector itself has begun, arms a bounded 60s per-instance marker. While it is armed, or while
upstream_stream_transportis pinned tohttp, the responses websocket routes deny handshakes with 426 — the only signal codex-rs accepts for its session-scoped HTTP transport fallback. Arming and clearing are both direct-scoped: a budget that expires in local admission, in route resolution, or in a routed connector does not arm it, and only a successful direct connect clears it. An all-routed deployment therefore never engages the marker, and a mixed one still falls back to the bounded window.HTTP-path degradation. While armed or pinned, the HTTP responses bridge is bypassed and the raw path's upstream transport is forced to
http. A bridge session-creation failure carrying pre-submit provenance and the same transport provenance falls back to raw HTTP streaming and arms the marker — bridge creation runs its own pre-dispatch failover and never reaches the websocket failover decision, so this is the only place bridge-only traffic can arm it. The fallback never replays a post-submit failure, never replays a turn whose continuity anchor only the bridge's prepared payload carries (the raw path injects no response anchor, so the replay would drop prior context), and is skipped while an API-key usage reservation is unsettled.Replay-safe cooldown fallback. When the bridge retry circuit's pre-dispatch submission gate suppresses a provably-undispatched fresh turn (no continuation identity, no dispatch markers), the cooldown 503 degrades to raw HTTP as well. Ambiguous continuations keep the bounded 503, because a replay could execute the turn twice.
Point 4 was previously a separate stacked PR (#1890). It has been folded in here and that PR closed: it is a 65-line follow-up in the same files, it amends this change's own OpenSpec folder, and it cannot stand alone — cherry-picking it onto
