Summary

Surface the first bare context overflow on Cursor Connect transport before allowing capped conversation remints.

  • Surfaces the initial resource_exhausted context overflow error directly so clients (e.g. Codex) can trigger compaction or surface the context boundary to the user.
  • On subsequent overflows in the same thread/scope, remints the conversation ID to recover conversation continuity up to a hard cap of 3 remints.
  • Bounded LRU and TTL retention (max 2,048 entries, 1-hour TTL) for scope tracking.
  • Preserves quota/rate-limit signals (does not remint on rate limits), tool-result resumes, compaction requests, and streams with partial output already emitted.

Verification

All verification commands executed via the isolated testing wrapper with clean temporary OPENCODEX_HOME and isolated ports:

  • bun test tests/providers/cursor/cursor-adapter.test.ts tests/providers/cursor/cursor-continuity-retention.test.ts: 31 passed, 0 failed (104 expect calls).
  • bun test tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts: 17 passed, 0 failed (551 expect calls).
  • bun run typecheck: zero diagnostics.
  • bun run privacy:scan: passed cleanly.
  • Verified live config fingerprint and backup inventory in /Users/user/.opencodex remained completely untouched.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Added/updated regression coverage or verified existing coverage for the affected behavior.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of Cursor conversation context-limit errors.
    • The first overflow is surfaced clearly, while eligible follow-up attempts can recover by starting a fresh conversation.
    • Recovery is limited and preserves conversation continuity across retries.
    • Prevented automatic recovery in scenarios where it could disrupt tool results, compaction, or already-streamed responses.
    • Rate-limit errors continue to be surfaced as rate limits rather than treated as context overflows.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for overflow recovery, retry limits, retention, and excluded scenarios.

The Cursor adapter now handles eligible context overflows through bounded conversation reminting. It centralizes remint logic, retries safely, persists thread mappings, and adds tests for limits, exclusions, and retention.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Overflow classification and continuity state
src/adapters/cursor/cursor-errors.ts, src/adapters/cursor/thread-continuity.ts, tests/providers/cursor/cursor-continuity-retention.test.ts
Adds isCursorOverflowRemintCandidate and bounded per-scope state with a three-remint cap, one-hour TTL, and 2,048-entry limit. Tests cover retention limits and read-only checks.
Adapter remint and retry flow
src/adapters/cursor.ts
Centralizes conversation reminting at lines 403-431. The retry loop handles eligible overflow errors at lines 458-490, invalidates inherited checkpoints, updates continuity state, and preserves existing echo-retry and invalid_argument recovery paths.
Overflow recovery tests

Tests first-overflow surfacing, thread mapping persistence, the remint cap, quota errors, tool-result resumes, compaction turns, and previously emitted output.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 34bbc

The new overflow-recovery logic is designed to cap automatic conversation remints at three per conversation to avoid masking repeated context-overflow failures, but for conversation-only clients and one thread-identification variant, the cap resets every time a remint succeeds. In practice this means some users could see unlimited silent conversation remints instead of the intended bounded retry behavior, which should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the overflow-remint scope stable across turns. src/adapters/cursor.ts:403-412 replaces the conversation ID during remintConversationId, but overflowRemintBaseId remains scoped to the current request. The next turn therefore uses the reminted ID as a new key and can receive another first overflow plus three remints.

cursorClientThreadOwner in src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts:343-365 treats _cursorClientThreadId as a thread owner, and src/adapters/cursor.ts:416-422 persists continuity for it. However, cursorOverflowRemintScopeKey in src/adapters/cursor/thread-continuity.ts:115-128 checks only _clientThreadId, so _cursorClientThreadId clients also use the unstable conversation branch.

Use the shared thread-owner semantics in cursorOverflowRemintScopeKey, and persist and reuse the original conversation base across remints for conversation-only clients. Add regression coverage for both client types.

리뷰 · 우선순위 71 / 80

이 PR은 Cursor Connect 전송에서 맨 처음 걸린 맨손 resource_exhausted 컨텍스트 오버플로를 그대로 올려 보내고, 같은 스레드/스코프에서 그다음에 또 같은 오버플로가 나면 conversation id를 최대 3번까지 새로 만들어(remint) 이어서 말하게 합니다. 지금 dev(HEAD ed839a3ee)의 src/adapters/cursor.ts는 invalid_argument·가드 재시도 경로에서 conversation을 갈아끼우지만, bare overflow를 “첫 번은 Codex compact에 보여 주고 / 이후만 remint”로 나누지는 않습니다. 그래서 클라이언트가 경계에서 compact할 기회를 못 얻거나, 반대로 조용히 id만 돌다 맥락을 잃을 수 있습니다.

동작은 짧습니다. isCursorOverflowRemintCandidate()가 0토큰급 bare overflow이면서 분류가 context limit인 경우만 고릅니다(쿼터·레이트 시그널은 remint하지 않음). thread-continuity.tscursorOverflowRemintScopeKey()로 스레드+identity 또는 remint 전 base conversation id를 키로 씁니다. 첫 히트는 shouldSurfaceCursorOverflowFirstmarkCursorOverflowSurfaced 후 throw. 이후 recordCursorOverflowRemint가 성공할 때만 id를 갈아끼우고 continue합니다. 상한은 CURSOR_OVERFLOW_REMINT_MAX = 3, TTL 1시간, 맵 최대 2048입니다. 도구 결과 resume·이미 부분 출력이 나간 스트림·compaction 요청·abort된 요청은 remint하지 않습니다.

이 방향은 devlog/_plan/260822_senpi_cursor_transfer에 적어 둔 senpi 배움과 같습니다. senpi도 첫 0토큰 RE는 compact를 위해 표면에 올리고, 이후 wire id만 제한 횟수 돌립니다. OpenCodex가 Responses 프록시라는 점은 그대로 두고 overflow 회계만 가져온 형태라 신뢰 모델을 뒤집지 않습니다. 테스트도 adapter·continuity 쪽이 두껍고, hygiene·enforce-target은 통과했으며 draft가 아니라 review-ready입니다.

점수 71인 이유: Cursor 어댑터 실사용 안정성에 바로 닿고, L1/L5 레인과 충돌하지 않으며 준비 상태도 좋습니다. 다만 일곱 레인 첫 구현 자체는 아니고, #3506(Cursor/Grok 무진행 루프)과는 실패 종류가 다릅니다. 이 PR은 컨텍스트 한계 overflow 신호·복구이지, 같은 체크포인트를 반복만 하는 루프 감독이 아닙니다. 그 이슈를 닫는다고 쓰면 안 됩니다.

운영 감각 한 줄: 첫 오버플로 뒤 클라이언트가 줄이지 않은 채 같은 큰 페이로드를 다시 내면 remint 예산(3)이 빨리 닳고 이후 에러가 그대로 올라갑니다. 의도된 fail-closed에 가깝습니다. echo/commentary 가드 재시도 갈래에서 재시도가 다시 throw하면 그 예외는 overflow remint 루프에 재진입하지 않고 밖으로 나갑니다.

라인 427 - for (;;)shouldSkipCursorOverflowRemint·surface/cap 가드로 종료됨. “무한 루프”가 아니라 “상한 있는 재시도”로 읽으면 됨
라인 465-469 - remint 안전 조건이 tool-result·부분 출력·replayUnsafe·checkpoint·abort를 막아 과한 자동 복구를 줄임
라인 481-483 - 첫 overflow는 shouldSurfaceCursorOverflowFirst 경로에서 반드시 throw. compact 기회를 지키는 핵심
경로 src/adapters/cursor/cursor-errors.ts - isCursorOverflowRemintCandidate가 quota/rate와 size overflow를 가름. 429로 오분류되면 백오프만 하고 compact를 못 함
경로 src/adapters/cursor/thread-continuity.ts - cursorOverflowRemintScopeKey·TTL·2048 상한·테스트용 clear API. 프로세스 전역 맵을 상한으로 방어
경로 이슈 연결 - #3506 무진행 루프와 동일 원인으로 묶지 말 것. overflow 재현 이슈만 링크할 것

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • 첫 surface 후 remint 3회 상한(CURSOR_OVERFLOW_REMINT_MAX)이 Codex App·CLI 실사용에 충분한지, senpi와 숫자를 맞출지
  • echo 가드 재시도 직후 overflow를 같은 루프에서 이어서 remint할지
  • L2–L7 레인 PR과 같은 기차에 실을지, Cursor 어댑터 안정성으로 먼저 넣을지

너의 추천
머지 쪽으로 가도 좋습니다. 레인 패킷과 안 싸우고 hygiene도 깨끗합니다. 머지 전에 PR 설명에 “#3506 해결 아님 / 첫 overflow surface 후 최대 3 remint” 한 줄만 더 적어두면 기여자가 오해하지 않습니다. 가능하면 overflow 재현 로그 한 건을 코멘트로 남겨 회귀 기준을 고정하세요.

Reviewed the overflow-loop/accounting changes at 34bbcaf. The first overflow is surfaced before remint, quota/rate cues remain outside this recovery path, and the retry guards retain tool-result, already-emitted-output, side-effect and compaction exclusions. This is not a fix for #3506's no-progress loop.

Please add adapter-level coverage for the conversation-only scope branch (without _clientThreadId). The new surface/remint/cap tests all supply a thread id, although the scope helper explicitly supports a base conversation id that is replaced during remint. Verify the intended cap across a successful remint and the next request's persisted conversation id, not only several retries inside one runTurn. Document whether the three-remint allowance is per stable logical owner or resets when that conversation-only id changes; do not claim a stronger lifetime cap than the stored identity establishes.

The current source is a candidate, but exact-head full runtime/typecheck evidence and the conversation-only continuation contract remain to be established. No live Cursor request, local session mutation, or merge was performed.
