Problem

A canonical previous_response_id does not prove that the subscription backend owns it. OpenAI-compatible model sources can emit the same ID shape, so syntax-based routing can move a valid source continuation to an unrelated subscription account. Owner lookup misses also need to distinguish a known subscription model from an unavailable source catalog.

What this fixes

Routing now uses recorded subscription ownership instead of ID syntax across HTTP Responses and direct WebSocket paths. Source ownership lookup is cached per response. A known subscription-model owner miss fails closed with a sanitized previous_response_owner_unavailable error, while source-catalog lookup failure alone preserves the documented subscription fallback.

What is now possible

Source-owned continuations remain on their configured model source. Known subscription-owned continuations keep their subscription owner. Temporary source-catalog failure no longer makes connect and reuse choose different routes.

Summary

This is the beta.4 replacement for #1859, rebuilt on b311aea760aa639fd96f63bd118f775e9b4a89f9 and extended with the reviewed tri-state cache and fail-closed owner-miss behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Responses routing now uses recorded previous-response ownership across HTTP and WebSocket paths. Model-source lookup results distinguish ownership from unavailable catalogs. Compaction exclusions remain configurable, and WebSocket errors preserve upstream metadata.

Changes

Responses routing ownership

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ownership resolution contract
app/modules/model_sources/selection.py, app/modules/proxy/_service/support.py
Adds tri-state model-source ownership resolution and caches the result in WebSocket request state.

Routes continuations by recorded subscription ownership. Preserves source routing for source-owned responses and allows /v1/responses compaction triggers to use model sources.
WebSocket continuity and failure handling
app/modules/proxy/_service/websocket/mixin.py, tests/integration/test_proxy_websocket_responses.py, tests/unit/test_proxy_utils.py, tests/unit/test_proxy_websocket_model_source_guard.py
Preserves subscription owners across WebSocket reuse and reconnects. Retains HTTP fallback errors for source-owned continuations and records typed upstream failures with cleanup assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 612c3

The change preserves response ownership and adds fail-closed handling, but the compact path can incorrectly consume API-key quota when a previous-response owner is unavailable. Merge should wait for that reservation to be settled before raising; the duplicated error text is a minor follow-up.

897-929: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Settle the API-key reservation before the new fail-closed raise.

Lines 909-929 raise ProxyResponseError directly when previous_response_preferred_account_id is None. This raise happens before the try: block at line 967. Only that try block's except ProxyResponseError handler and finally block perform reservation settlement and request-log writing.

The sibling block right above this one (lines 816-852, for _resolve_forwarded_file_account_for_responses) settles the reservation with settle_compact_usage(...) before re-raising, specifically because it sits outside the same try/finally. The new fail-closed block does not do this.

This is now the routine outcome whenever a subscription-known model has no recorded previous-response owner, per this PR's own design. Each such request leaks the API-key usage reservation on the non-forwarded path (not forwarded_request and api_key is not None and api_key_reservation is not None), since settle_compact_usage is never called. Repeated failures reduce the key's available quota incorrectly over time.

Add the same settlement call used by the block above, before raising.

🛡️ Proposed fix to settle the reservation before raising
             if previous_response_preferred_account_id is None:
                 # A response id is an account-scoped stored object. A sole
                 # candidate is not proof that it owns an anchor with no
                 # recorded subscription owner, so compact must not dispatch
                 # it to that account as an implicit fallback.

Owner

Thanks — the ownership-evidence design here is a real improvement over ID-syntax routing, and rebuilding on beta.4 with the tri-state catalog-failure distinction addressed the earlier spec feedback well. Three concrete blockers before this can merge:

  1. CI is red with 5 integration failures, all from the final fail-closed commit (612c3a6). test_v1_responses_accepts_previous_response_id and the two sticky-session tests (test_backend_responses_http_forwards_previous_response_id, test_v1_responses_http_forwards_previous_response_id) now see previous_response_id never forwarded (assert [] == ['resp_prev_http_123']), test_v1_responses_previous_response_not_found_without_http_bridge_returns_stream_incomplete gets previous_response_owner_unavailable instead of the documented stream_incomplete, and the smart-policy sticky-websocket test 502s. These tests encode the sole-candidate fallback you removed in streaming/retry.py / compact.py / websocket/mixin.py. In production this matters: continuity records can be missing for legitimate reasons (request-log retention purges, responses created before this release), and those conversations would now permanently 502. Please either keep the single-account fallback for subscription-known models (the leak-to-unrelated-account risk is nil when exactly one candidate exists and the model is not source-owned), or update the tests/spec deliberately and call out the compatibility break so the owner can sign off on it.

  2. CodeRabbit's Major on app/modules/proxy/_service/compact.py (~L909-929) landed after your last push and is still valid: the new fail-closed raise happens before the try/finally that settles the API-key reservation, so settle_compact_usage is never called on the non-forwarded path. Since owner-miss is now a routine outcome by this PR's own design, each occurrence leaks the reservation and silently reduces the key's available quota. The sibling _resolve_forwarded_file_account_for_responses block just above settles before re-raising — please mirror that.

  3. Contributors attribution check: justyannicc needs to be added to .all-contributorsrc.

Also noting for the maintainer: this branch embeds #1859's commits (authorship preserved), so if this lands #1859 should be closed as superseded.
