Summary

Port of codex-router PR #145 (empty-completion guard + single retry) into opencodex.

A provider can answer 200 and complete a turn without producing any output text or tool call (a reasoning-only stream that ends with nothing is the canonical shape). The client has no code path for "the model said nothing", so it silently records the turn as done — the unexplained "random stop". This change makes that failure visible and self-healing:

  • New guardEmptyCompletionEventStream (src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts) holds pre-content adapter events (reasoning deltas are deliberately NOT content), suppresses the terminal of an empty turn, and retries the IDENTICAL turn once — same request bytes, same headers, same signal.
  • Wired into handleResponsesInner for all four paths: runTurn streaming/non-streaming (Cursor) and parseStream/parseResponse (all HTTP adapters). The HTTP retry replays the cached byte-identical request via fetchTerminalGuardContinuation(parsed); the runTurn retry re-invokes adapter.runTurn with the same parsed request against a fresh queue.
  • If the retry is also empty — or fails upstream — the bridge surfaces response.failed with code empty_completion_retry_failed (repo error style, mirroring empty_kiro_stream), instead of a second silent success.
  • Usage is merged across attempts (mergeUsage), so the request log meters the whole turn; each retry is a second send on the same attempt row (noteAttemptSend), matching the existing beginRequestAttempt pattern.
  • Kill switch on the router's pattern: OCX_EMPTY_COMPLETION_RETRY=0 disables the guard entirely. Compaction turns and combo attempts keep their own machinery.

Test plan

  • bun test tests/empty-completion-guard.test.ts — 18 tests, 0 failures (content classification incl. reasoning-only and empty text deltas; reasoning-only terminal -> retry once -> success; both empty -> empty_completion_retry_failed; usage merged across attempts; non-empty streams unaffected with the buffer released on first content; retry-failed-upstream; max_tokens passthrough; heartbeat passthrough; kill-switch env; truncated-source release).
  • bun test tests/terminal-guard.test.ts — 14 tests, 0 failures (adjacent, untouched but co-located).
  • tsc --noEmit — clean.

Full repo gates (typecheck/test/privacy scan) run after the three sibling PRs for this port land.

Readiness checklist

  • Local CI green (focused tests + typecheck named above; full gates pending sibling PRs)
  • Branch on the latest dev commit
  • All correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings fixed
  • Ready for review

    • Applied the retry behavior to both streaming and non-streaming responses.
    • Preserved handling for cancellations, incomplete responses, truncated streams, and tool-call results.
    • Combined usage information across retry attempts.
    • Returns a standardized error when retries are unsuccessful.
  • Configuration

    • Empty-response retries are enabled by default and can be disabled with OCX_EMPTY_COMPLETION_RETRY=0.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a configurable empty-completion retry guard for Responses streams. It retries identical turns once by default, merges usage across attempts, preserves non-empty and incomplete responses, and integrates with streaming and non-streaming run-turn and adapter paths.

Changes

Empty-completion retry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard contract and stream processing
src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts (lines 1-163)
Adds the environment switch, exported guard API, content classification, retry-failure events, usage merging, buffering, and event-release helpers.
Terminal and exceptional event handling
src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts (lines 164-239)
Retries empty terminal completions, preserves visible incomplete stops and cancellations, handles retry errors, and releases buffered events for truncated streams.
Responses pipeline integration
src/server/responses/core.ts (lines 80-3976)
Applies the guard to run-turn and regular adapter streaming and non-streaming responses. Run-turn retries use fresh AdapterEventQueue instances and exclude compaction and combo attempts.
Guard behavior validation
tests/empty-completion-guard.test.ts (lines 1-329)
Tests configuration, buffering, retries, usage merging, failures, content-only completions, passthrough events, heartbeats, and truncated streams.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 486bc

The one-time retry can currently drop usage or context totals, bypass terminal repair, time out during reasoning-only progress, or retain an unbounded amount of buffered data. These issues can cause inaccurate accounting, false failures, or resource exhaustion, so the PR is not ready to merge until the concrete retry-path risks are fixed.

Deterministic PR hygiene checks passed.

@github-actions github-actions Bot added the enhancement New feature or request label Aug 14, 2026
Port codex-router PR lidge-jun#145: a 200 that completes with no output text and no
tool call is a failure the client cannot see (it silently records the turn
as done). Hold pre-content adapter events, suppress the terminal of an empty
turn, retry the IDENTICAL request once, and surface empty_completion_retry_failed
when the retry is also empty or fails upstream. Usage is merged across both
attempts so the request log meters the whole turn.

Kill switch: OCX_EMPTY_COMPLETION_RETRY=0 restores the previous behavior.
Compaction turns and combo attempts are excluded.

Inline comments:
In `@src/server/responses/core.ts`:
- Around line 3903-3908: Update the retry continuations in
src/server/responses/core.ts at lines 3903-3908 and 3969-3976 to wrap
fetchTerminalGuardContinuation(parsed) with guardTerminalEventStream when
terminalGuardEnabled is true, reusing adapterName, maxAutoContinuations: 1, and
the existing continuation callback arguments from the first-attempt guard; apply
the same change at both sites so streaming and non-streaming retries preserve
terminal-guard behavior.
- Around line 3068-3071: Route empty-completion retry configuration through
OcxConfig instead of reading process.env on each request: add the setting and
default in src/types.ts and src/config.ts, update emptyCompletionRetryEnabled to
accept the config and let OCX_EMPTY_COMPLETION_RETRY=0 override it, then pass
the configured value from the emptyCompletionGuardEnabled flow. Add tests
covering config-driven behavior and preserve this as a top-level setting without
provider/model scoping.
- Around line 3083-3090: The empty-completion retry currently reuses
runTurnAttempt without identifying its recovery cause. Extend runTurnAttempt to
accept an optional recovery kind, pass "empty-completion" only from
runTurnRetrySource, and propagate the new kind through
AttemptRecoveryKind/ATTEMPT_RECOVERY_KINDS, the GUI
AttemptRecoveryKind/RECOVERY_KIND_KEYS, and corresponding localization entries;
add a regression test asserting sendCount 2 with recoveryKinds
["empty-completion"].
- Around line 3131-3140: The empty-completion guard must emit liveness while
buffering reasoning events, since buffered thinking_delta and
reasoning_raw_delta events do not reset bridge stall detection. Update
guardEmptyCompletionEventStream to emit a heartbeat whenever it buffers a
reasoning event, or equivalently ensure Cursor reasoning deltas produce
heartbeats without changing normal event forwarding; add a regression test
covering a heartbeat-free reasoning prefix longer than stallTimeoutSec.

In `@src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts`:
- Around line 96-118: Update mergeUsage to preserve contextTotalTokens by
selecting the later attempt’s value from second when it is defined, without
summing it; include the field in the returned usage only when available, while
leaving additive token fields and other metadata unchanged.
- Line 185: Replace the plain-object VISIBLE_INCOMPLETE_STOP_REASONS lookup with
a Set-based membership check, and update the check in the empty-completion guard
to use Set.has(stopReason) without the nullish-coalescing sentinel. Ensure
inherited stop-reason names such as constructor and toString are not treated as
visible incomplete reasons.
- Line 230: Bound the pre-content held buffer in the empty-completion guard by
tracking both event count and accumulated bytes, including events retained
across the retry path. When either cap is exceeded, release buffered prefix data
and switch to pass-through (or abort with a bounded error), ensuring no
unbounded retention across both attempts. Add overflow coverage for the initial
attempt and retry attempt.
- Around line 171-176: Update the post-content branch guarded by sawContent so
withUsage is applied to every terminal event, including error and incomplete,
rather than only done. Preserve passthrough behavior for non-terminal events and
ensure accumulated usage from all attempts is retained.

Apply the same fix in `@tests/empty-completion-guard.test.ts` around lines 140 -
188: Covers the required regression tests for post-content usage merging and 499
passthrough.

In `@tests/empty-completion-guard.test.ts`:
- Line 86: Remove the unused retryParsedSeen declaration and its vacuous
assertion from the test; retain the continuations counter assertion as the
meaningful verification of retry behavior.
- Line 61: Add focused integration coverage for the runTurn retry flow in
core.ts using a fake adapter that emits reasoning plus done on its first call
and content on its second; assert the second call occurs, no first
response.completed reaches the client, and the guard is bypassed for
routedCompaction and comboAttempt requests. Also verify the retry uses a fresh
event queue and remains layered outside the terminal guard.

Route the empty-completion setting through OcxConfig

At src/server/responses/core.ts:3069, emptyCompletionRetryEnabled() reads OCX_EMPTY_COMPLETION_RETRY from process.env on every request. Comparable kill switches, such as codexShimAutoRestoreEnabled() in src/config.ts:3213-3217, accept OcxConfig and then apply an environment override.

Add the setting to src/types.ts, src/config.ts, and the defaults. Pass it to the helper, with OCX_EMPTY_COMPLETION_RETRY=0 taking precedence. Add config-driven tests. A top-level field provides global config control; provider/model scoping requires a separate provider-level design.

runTurnRetrySource reuses runTurnAttempt without a recovery kind, so both streaming and non-streaming retries increment sendCount without identifying the cause (src/server/responses/core.ts:3085, 3123-3128, 3187-3190). Pass "empty-completion" only for the retry. Extend AttemptRecoveryKind and ATTEMPT_RECOVERY_KINDS in src/usage/log.ts, AttemptRecoveryKind and RECOVERY_KIND_KEYS in gui/src/pages/Logs.tsx, and the corresponding localized entries under gui/src/i18n/. Add a regression test for sendCount: 2 with recoveryKinds: ["empty-completion"].

Emit liveness while buffering reasoning events

src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts:167-230 forwards heartbeat events but buffers thinking_delta and reasoning_raw_delta. The bridge resets stallTicks for every event at src/bridge.ts:806-811, not only for heartbeats. Buffered reasoning events do not reach the bridge.

Only src/adapters/cursor.ts:75 implements runTurn. Cursor maps thinkingDelta to a reasoning event at src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-events.ts:631-634. src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts:1094-1118 emits a heartbeat only when no event was mapped, and isCursorProgressFrame() excludes thinkingDelta. A reasoning-only Cursor turn can therefore hit upstream_stall_timeout during the content gate.

Emit a heartbeat when the guard buffers a reasoning event, or add equivalent heartbeat emission for mapped Cursor reasoning deltas. Add a regression test for a heartbeat-free reasoning prefix longer than stallTimeoutSec.

The empty-completion retry bypasses the Anthropic terminal guard on both response paths. At both sites the first attempt is wrapped in guardTerminalEventStream, but the retry continuation calls fetchTerminalGuardContinuation(parsed) unwrapped. When terminalGuardEnabled is true (Anthropic, non-combo, non-compaction), the end_turn-without-tool-call repair runs on the first attempt and not on the retry. A retry that lands on that shape then surfaces as empty_completion_retry_failed with status 502 instead of being repaired.

  • src/server/responses/core.ts#L3903-L3908: wrap the streaming retry source in guardTerminalEventStream when terminalGuardEnabled is true, using the same adapterName, maxAutoContinuations: 1, and continuation: fetchTerminalGuardContinuation arguments as Lines 3891-3897.

mergeUsage silently drops contextTotalTokens, which regresses context reporting for stateful providers.

OcxUsage in src/types.ts (lines 385-400) documents contextTotalTokens as the absolute active-context size after the response, and states that Responses serialization derives the input side from contextTotalTokens - outputTokens. The merged object built at Lines 109-118 never carries that field. If a stateful provider reports contextTotalTokens on the retry's done event, the guard's merged usage loses it, and the serializer falls back to summed per-attempt input tokens instead of the provider's absolute checkpoint.

Do not sum this field, because it is absolute rather than additive. Take the later attempt's value: the retry supersedes the first attempt's checkpoint.

🔧 Proposed fix: carry the latest absolute context checkpoint
   const inputTokens = first.inputTokens + second.inputTokens;
   const outputTokens = first.outputTokens + second.outputTokens;
+  // Absolute, not additive: the later attempt's checkpoint supersedes the earlier one.
+  const contextTotalTokens = second.contextTotalTokens ?? first.contextTotalTokens;
   return {
     inputTokens,
     outputTokens,
     totalTokens: inputTokens + outputTokens,

Post-content terminal handling drops first-attempt usage, and the failure branches are untested.

When the retry has already emitted content, the guard applies withUsage only to done; post-content error and incomplete terminals are forwarded without the first attempt's usage. This can undercount a turn after a retry that emits partial content and then fails. Update the post-content branch to merge usage for every terminal variant that carries usage, then add regression coverage for the error/incomplete cases. Also cover the reachable 499 retry path and assert that client cancellation passes through unchanged rather than becoming empty_completion_retry_failed.

The stop-reason lookup reads Object.prototype, so inherited keys disable the retry.

VISIBLE_INCOMPLETE_STOP_REASONS at Lines 42-45 is a plain object literal, so it inherits from Object.prototype. The bracket lookup at Line 185 therefore resolves inherited keys as truthy. An upstream done event with stopReason: "constructor", "toString", "valueOf", or "__proto__" takes the visible-incomplete branch, and the guard forwards the empty terminal to the client instead of retrying. stopReason is upstream-supplied data, so the set of possible values is not controlled by this module.

Use a Set for the membership test. This also removes the ?? "" sentinel dance.

🔧 Proposed fix: use a Set for membership

-  max_tokens: true,

Bound the held pre-content buffer. In src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts:149-230, held has no event or byte limit. The adapter queue's 1,024-event limit does not protect streaming requests because the guard drains that queue and stores pre-content events itself. Lines 192-203 also retain the first attempt's events while the retry adds a second reasoning prefix. A two-attempt sequence can retain all 12,000 pre-content events before content arrives. Add event and byte caps. On overflow, release the prefix and switch to pass-through, which forfeits the retry, or abort with a bounded error. Add overflow tests for both attempts.

The PR also changes server behavior at four integration sites in src/server/responses/core.ts: the streaming runTurn path (Lines 3131-3140), the non-streaming runTurn path (Lines 3183-3193), the streaming adapter path (Lines 3899-3911), and the non-streaming adapter path (Lines 3956-3976). None of that logic is exercised by any test in this PR.

The uncovered integration logic is the part most likely to regress, because it depends on cross-module contracts rather than pure functions:

  • The exclusion gate at Lines 3068-3071. Nothing pins that options.comboAttempt and routedCompaction disable the guard. A future edit to that boolean would retry compaction turns silently.
  • runTurnRetrySource at Lines 3109-3115. This creates a second AdapterEventQueue and relies on the first queue being closed, where pushes become silent no-ops. Nothing pins that the retry's events arrive through the fresh queue and that the first queue's late pushes are dropped.
  • The layering of the empty-completion guard outside the terminal guard.

Add a focused integration test for at least the runTurn retry path, using a fake adapter whose runTurn pushes reasoning plus done on the first call and content on the second. Assert that the second call happens, that the client-visible stream carries no first response.completed, and that a routedCompaction or comboAttempt request is not retried.

As per path instructions for tests/**: "A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem. Flag PRs that change shared routing, adapters, config, or server behavior without touching tests."

retryParsedSeen is never written, so the assertion at Line 104 always passes and pins nothing.

Line 86 declares const retryParsedSeen: string[] = [];. No code in the test assigns to it — the continuation callback at Lines 93-100 only increments continuations and returns events. Line 104 then asserts expect(retryParsedSeen).toEqual([]), which is unconditionally true.

The test name states that the retry is an identical turn, so a reader reasonably assumes this assertion proves the continuation received no per-attempt input. It does not. The invariant is in fact enforced by the type system already: EmptyCompletionGuardOptions.continuation is declared as () => ... at src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts Line 127, so it cannot receive arguments.

Remove the dead variable and its assertion. The continuations counter at Line 103 is the assertion that carries real weight here.

💚 Proposed fix: drop the vacuous assertion
   test("a reasoning-only terminal turn is retried once and the identical-turn retry succeeds", async () => {

Per-PR disposition for the open bug and bug-like PRs, with the A-gate corrections folded in: LAND the #1693/#1696/#1698 stack bottom-up, port a focused subset of #1625 by hand, keep #1703 blocked on a routing/privacy design decision, and leave #1655/#1660 open as feature-shaped changes.

Reviewed during a bug-PR landing pass and leaving this open rather than landing it in that pass.

The failure it targets is real — a provider can answer 200, produce neither text nor a tool call, and the client records the turn as done, which is the unexplained random stop. No argument there.

The reason it is not a fit for a bug-landing sweep is the shape of the remedy. emptyCompletionRetryEnabled() is on unless explicitly disabled (src/server/responses/empty-completion-guard.ts:22-31), and core enables it across every non-combo, non-compaction Responses adapter (src/server/responses/core.ts:3062-3071). That makes a second, potentially billable upstream request the default behavior for all users. At +646/-10 it also rewires streaming, non-streaming, runTurn, passthrough, terminal-guard interaction, usage aggregation, and error framing — and the branch currently conflicts with dev.

That is a reliability policy worth having, but it deserves its own review with a rebase and a full-suite run, not a fast landing alongside narrow defect repairs. Keeping it open on that basis.

Triage update (2026-08-15, maintainer): rebuilt onto current dev as an explicit opt-in (default-off) guard with bounded retention, usage merging, terminal-guard composition, and retry-cause recording. Passed adversarial review and the full remote suite (12330 pass / 0 fail). Landing held pending a maintainer release-timing decision; ready on approval.

Landed via #1752 (dev merge 9ed2e84). Your commit was cherry-picked with authorship preserved, then rebuilt as an explicit opt-in (emptyCompletionRetry: true, default off — no silent second billable request), with 1024-event/1MiB retention caps, stall-safe heartbeats, correct usage merging, and terminal-guard/pacing composition. Full gates green. Closing as landed — thank you!
