📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe HTTP bridge retry circuit now quarantines poisoned anchors when eventless failures open the circuit. Full-resend probes omit quarantined anchors, while delta-only payloads retain them. Eventless terminal errors record attempt-scoped failures. Suppression responses report cooldown or half-open lease details. Derek Pearson is added as a code contributor. ChangesHTTP bridge anchor recovery
Contributor attribution
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes retry-circuit recovery so poisoned bridge anchors are quarantined and eventless failures count toward circuit opening. At the current head, some grouped failures can bypass strike recording, late openings can skip quarantine, and normal incomplete responses may be misclassified; the quarantine TTL requirements are also inconsistent. These paths can leave dead anchors reusable or unnecessarily block healthy traffic, so the PR is not merge-ready yet. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…oned anchor Review on Soju06#1891 showed the half-open abandonment ran after the probe's payload was already planned and never touched the in-memory session-level anchor, so the admitted probe still carried the anchor the circuit opened on. Replace it with the existing quarantine mechanism (Soju06#1534): opening the circuit on an eventless poison-class failure quarantines the key, so the fresh-reattach, durable-hydration, and session-level injections are all suppressed at planning time and a full-resend probe goes upstream unanchored. Delta-only payloads keep their anchor by the existing rule. Drop the half-open lease bound: the lease bounds the probe's lifetime so exactly one probe runs, and shortening it could admit concurrent continuations on a hard key during a long probe. Keep the truthful suppression timer. Product-path coverage asserts the prepared probe payload has no previous_response_id.

Re CodeRabbit's outside-diff finding (half-open gate reopens if a probe outlives the 600 s lease): verified, and it is pre-existing on 🤖 Addressed by Claude Code |
|
Follow-up commit c1a333b, from watching the fix run against the live incident: the failure shape that wedges the conversation is an upstream terminal error frame (
🤖 Addressed by Claude Code |
A hard-affinity bridge key whose durable anchor upstream rejects wedges indefinitely: the probe admitted at each half-open transition replays the same anchored request, so it fails identically and the circuit only ever re-opens. - Abandon the durable anchor on the half-open transition when the last recorded failure is one of the eventless poison details, so the probe resends full history and is an actual experiment. - Bound the half-open lease to one base backoff. A failing probe records a failure, which clears the lease and arms a fresh cooldown, so a longer lease only widens the window in which an unrecorded probe failure leaves the key silently suppressed. - Report the timer that is actually refusing a submission. Once the cooldown expires but the lease has not, the 503 advertised retry_after=1s while the caller was barred for the rest of the lease, which turns a wedged key into a client retry storm.

… strikes An upstream terminal error frame that fails a pending request before any response event settles through the terminal path rather than the retirement funnel, so it never advanced the circuit. In the observed incident, five eventless previous_response_not_found frames on one hard key (rewritten to stream_incomplete) left the persisted counter at 1: the circuit never opened, the quarantine never engaged, and the bridge re-injected the dead anchor on every turn. Record the failure through the existing attempt-scoped recorder, which already drops non-circuit details and soft keys and keeps a later retirement of the same lifecycle from double-counting. Midstream requests stay excluded.

Four defects raised on review, all inside the path that is meant to un-wedge a hard-affinity key after an eventless poison-class failure: - A native `response.failed` / `response.incomplete` envelope marks the `response.create` attempt observed without counting a response event, so the recorder rejected it as already settled. Only the top-level `error` shape ever consumed a strike, so the native envelope — including the rewritten `previous_response_not_found` — never advanced the circuit at all. The settlement path now asserts its pre-response provenance explicitly; the eventless retirement funnel's "upstream answered" guard is unchanged. - The strike was recorded after the terminal frame and its end-of-stream sentinel were published, so a client resending the moment it observed completion could be planned while the cooldown and quarantine were still awaiting durable I/O. It now lands before any downstream publication, after every in-place recovery path has declined. - With concurrent replicas each recording a locally-first failure, neither reaches the threshold under its own lock and the durable conflict merge is what opens the circuit — so neither revisited the quarantine decision. The recording replica now re-evaluates it against the merged state. - The poison quarantine's default TTL equals the circuit's maximum cooldown, so at that cooldown both lapsed in the same instant and the probe the cooldown was gating received the poisoned anchor again. It now holds for at least the remaining cooldown plus the half-open lease, the same span the durable retry-circuit row already reserves.

…rges Follow-up to the review round on 1c74b5f: - The grouped multi-request continuity settlement returns before the single-request terminal path, so a `previous_response_not_found` that matches several pending requests failed all of them with synthetic terminal events and recorded no strike at all — leaving the anchor that failed them reusable. Each grouped request that observed no response event now records one attempt-scoped strike, with the detail read back off the built event so it matches what the single-request path would have recorded, and before the grouped persist/delivery machinery for the same ordering reason. - The post-merge quarantine re-evaluation keyed off the remaining cooldown, so a merge that adopted an already-elapsed deadline skipped it. That key sits at its threshold with no cooldown left, which makes the next request the half-open probe — the case that needs the quarantine most. The opening is now tracked independently and a zero remainder falls through to the bare half-open lease. Also corrects the tasks.md wording, which described the pre-fix defect in the voice of a requirement: the floor is applied per call via `minimum_seconds`, and the shared default quarantine TTL is deliberately unchanged so quarantines armed for other reasons keep their existing window.
… circuit The terminal-frame strike added earlier in this change opens the circuit and quarantines the key, but never cleared the durable continuity anchor that failed. `_abandon_durable_http_bridge_continuity` has exactly two callers, both on the retirement and close funnels, and a terminal frame settles through neither. Quarantine masked it: injection is suppressed while the entry lives, but it is process-local and expires, so the stored anchor came back and re-poisoned the key after every cooldown. Observed live as a key cycling opened -> cooldown -> half-open probe -> same dead anchor, with zero `durable_anchor_poisoned` events across the whole window. The clear is gated on the circuit's own failure threshold, not the configurable anchor-poison threshold, and fires with the same evidence that already quarantines the key: one decision, the in-memory half suppressing the next injection and the durable half clearing the stored anchor. The configurable threshold governs the two funnels, where no circuit gates first; on this path it is unreachable by construction, which is the defect this change exists to fix. The circuit opens at two failures and then refuses the key for 60-600s per strike, so its default of seven is tens of minutes of dead conversation away. Unlike the strike, the clear runs after the terminal frame is published. A resend arriving in that window is already covered by the quarantine armed with the strike, and this deployment has observed fenced SQLite writes holding the writer for 35-44s; putting one in front of the client's own failure frame would stall the client for no benefit. Also considered and rejected: routing the two `streaming.py` cooldown 503s through `_http_bridge_precreated_retry_block`. Both sites are gated on `cooldown > 0`, and `cooldown_until` and `half_open_until` are mutually exclusive by construction, so the block helper would return the identical value there. It would have been a no-op.

…ion-safe Four review findings on 429ed33, all verified against the code first: - The grouped strike loop discarded the failure counts the recorder returned, so a fan-out carrying two or more eventless requests advanced the circuit through its threshold and then returned without ever reaching the durable clear. Same gap 429ed33 fixed on the single-request path, on the path introduced one commit earlier. The clear now runs once the grouped frames are published, skipped only under cancellation. - The terminal clear sat outside the try that finalizes the request. The frame is already on its way to the client by then, so a cancellation escaping the fenced write left the request answered but never finalized. Finalization moved into a local so both branches run it, with the clear wrapped in try/finally. - The post-merge quarantine skipped keys already quarantined from the local opening. A local open arms the floor from its own 60s backoff and the merge can replace the deadline with one up to 600s out, so the floor expired mid-cooldown and the probe was planned with the poisoned anchor again. Re-arming is idempotent, since the entry keeps the later deadline, so the guard is gone. - The configured anchor-poison threshold is now capped at the circuit threshold on the terminal and grouped paths, where the circuit gates first and a higher value is unreachable. Lower configured values are still honoured. The replica finding is only partly addressed, deliberately. Capping the threshold on the retirement and close funnels as well would have been the complete fix, but those paths are upstream's and their contract is asserted by existing tests that loop to seven failures and require the clear at exactly seven. Editing those to match this implementation would be changing a test to fit the code. The residual exposure there predates this change: the quarantine added here is strictly additional local protection and leaves the durable behaviour of those funnels as it was.

Likely next-round merge. |
Picks up the 1.24.0 stable promotion, which is what the beta release guard was failing on: this branch forked at v1.24.0-beta.4, so against a promoted main it read as a downgrade of every release-managed version file. Two conflicts, both resolved by keeping each side: - quarantine.py: main's Soju06#1863 adds an admission `generation` counter and its `_http_bridge_quarantine_generation` reader; this branch adds the `minimum_seconds` TTL floor. The entry now bumps the generation and applies the floor. - request_submit.py: main hoists the admission result into `retry_allowed`; this branch reports the timer actually refusing the request via `_http_bridge_precreated_retry_block`. Kept main's structure with the truthful block value and reason. Also adds `admission_generation` to the three retry-circuit snapshot literals in the tests, now a required field on DurableBridgeRetryCircuitSnapshot.

Records the merge that 83ae285 only applied as content. The pre-commit hook rejected that commit on a false positive, which dropped MERGE_HEAD, so the resolved tree landed as a single-parent commit and git still saw main as unmerged. Same resolution, recorded properly this time.
…-circuit-recovery
…doned
Clearing the anchor removed the cause of the cooldown but left the cooldown
running, so the circuit kept refusing requests that no longer carried an anchor
at all. Observed live: a successful clear at 15:53:16Z, then ~25 rejections over
the next 52 seconds, every one logged
reason=retry_circuit_cooldown_continuity_bound previous_response_id=None
with `previous_response_id` already None. Each of those would have gone upstream
cleanly. From the client's side the thread looked wedged exactly as before the
recovery existed; the difference was only that it recovered after a minute
instead of never.
`_http_bridge_continuity_bound_without_safe_replay` falls through to the
`hard_continuity_anchor` branch once the anchor is gone, and the key stays
hard-continuity, so an unanchored request is still failed closed while the
circuit is open. Rather than special-case that predicate, settle the circuit at
the point the evidence appears: a confirmed abandonment proves the next attempt
cannot repeat the failure, which is the same proof a completed response carries,
so it settles the circuit the same way.
Placed inside `_abandon_durable_http_bridge_continuity` so all four call sites
get it from one place, and only after `rebind_session_account` confirms the
clear. A fenced or failed abandonment proves nothing and leaves the cooldown
running. A genuinely new failure re-opens the circuit at the usual threshold.
…nced e8d6052 cleared the circuit on a confirmed anchor abandonment, but the clear skipped the durable row in exactly the case that matters. The version fence guard returns early when this worker holds no `persisted_updated_at_epoch`, and a circuit opened and remediated in the same instant has not been persisted yet. The in-memory state was popped, the row survived, the next load rehydrated it, and the key kept cooling for a cause that was gone. Observed live at 18:31:41Z: `durable_anchor_poisoned` fired, no `event=reset` was logged, no clear failure was logged either, and the row still read `cooldown_until 18:32:41Z` afterwards. The client took 20 rejections over the next 40 seconds. `_clear_http_bridge_retry_circuit` now takes `settle_unfenced`, asserted only by callers that removed the cause rather than outlived it. `delete_retry_circuit` already deletes unconditionally when no expected epoch is passed. The fence still applies to every other caller, including a worker that observed nothing and must not clobber a row another replica just wrote.
This is the last layer of the poisoned-anchor problem. The three fresh-replay branches above the local rebind already drop a rejected anchor, but each also requires an operation fence or a proven full-resend context. A rejection that satisfies neither falls through to the rebind, which set `retry_previous_response_id = request_state.previous_response_id` and sent the dead reference straight back. Live, that produced a reattach loop and a burst of client-visible 503s while the retry circuit cooled on failures it was re-creating. Gated on the key being quarantined, not merely on the rejection. An explicit rejection alone does not prove the anchor dead: it can mean this session was not its owner, which is exactly what Soju06#1830's recovery handles by rebinding and retrying the SAME anchor. Two existing tests assert that contract, and a first attempt at this fix broke both by keying off the rejection alone. Only once the circuit has opened on repeated eventless poison-class failures and quarantined the key is the anchor proven dead rather than mis-bound. The drop stays narrower than the fresh-replay branches: it keeps this path's interrupted tool-output injection and its account preference, and only stops the dead reference being sent again. Gating on an explicit stale-anchor rejection is the case Soju06#1863's non-goal names as the one where converting a transport recovery into an unanchored replay is permitted.

What
A dead
previous_response_idwedges a Codex thread indefinitely. Closes #1852.The retry circuit opens after 2 consecutive eventless failures, but the anchor-poison threshold that abandons the dead anchor defaults to 7. Once the circuit is open the key is refused for 60–600s per strike, so seven is tens of minutes of dead conversation away and in practice never reached. The anchor is never abandoned and the thread never recovers.
#1863 does not address this: it is additive in
retry_circuit.pyand never touches either threshold.Root cause
_abandon_durable_http_bridge_continuityreads as "forget this dead anchor", but it only ever cleared the durable row and its aliases. The anchor lives in four places, and every symptom is one of them not being cleared:previous_response_id=NoneHow
Count the failures that actually happen. An upstream terminal frame that fails a request before any response event settles through the terminal path, not the retirement funnel, and never advanced the circuit. Native
response.failedenvelopes mark the attempt observed without counting a response event, so only the top-levelerrorshape ever consumed a strike. The grouped multi-request settlement returns before that path and recorded nothing at all. All three now record, attempt-scoped, before the terminal frame reaches the client so a resend cannot outrun the cooldown.Quarantine and abandon at the circuit's own threshold, capped there on these paths, since a higher configured value is unreachable once the circuit gates first. Re-evaluated after a durable conflict merge, including when the merged cooldown has already elapsed.
Settle the circuit when its cause is removed. A confirmed abandonment proves the next attempt cannot repeat the failure, which is the same proof a completed response carries. This deletes the durable row even with no version fence: a circuit opened and remediated in the same instant has not been persisted, and the fence guard would otherwise skip the delete and let the next load rehydrate a cooldown whose cause is gone. A fenced or failed abandonment still leaves it running.
Stop the local rebind re-attaching to a proven-dead anchor. Gated on the key being quarantined, not on the rejection alone — an explicit rejection can mean the session was not the anchor's owner, which is exactly what bug: HTTP bridge misclassifies upstream error frames as stream_incomplete; retry circuit + operation ledger wedge sessions permanently ("cooling down" 503 loop) #1830's recovery handles by retrying the same anchor. The drop keeps this path's interrupted tool-output injection and account preference.
