Summary

A pooled Codex account stuck on a failed credential refresh took its models down with it, and nothing on the way said which account or what to do. The reporter in #4212 lost astra and sol through the proxy, confirmed both worked with ocx turned off, and reasonably concluded OpenCodex had broken. The actual cause was one account, which they found themselves and then asked to be told about.

This changes the two surfaces the operator actually meets.

The request-time refusal now names the account. refreshPoolForwardAuth and refreshPoolCompactContext each caught a non-terminal refresh failure and returned Codex credential refresh did not complete; retry this request — a sentence that describes a transient fault in the server. It stays a retryable 503 and stays non-quarantining, because the refresh genuinely may succeed and a token-endpoint 5xx must not retire a healthy account (#2887). What it gains is the account and the exit.

before after
message Codex credential refresh did not complete; retry this request Codex credential refresh did not complete for Codex pool account <name>; retry this request. If it keeps failing, sign in to that account again.
status / Retry-After 503 / 1 unchanged
quarantine no unchanged

The two call sites now share one helper, so the regular and compact contracts on this endpoint cannot drift the way they already had: compact takes no RouteResult and could not reach the public account selector at all until its caller started passing it.

The wording is load-bearing, and this is the part worth reviewing closely. The natural sentence is "that account needs reauthentication". It cannot be used. classifyError runs isAuthenticationMessage before it reaches the status === 503 arm, and that predicate is status-blind on the bare substring authentication — which reauthentication contains. A 503 body carrying that word is reclassified to authentication_error / invalid_api_key while the HTTP status stays 503, and Codex applies retry-after backoff only for server_is_overloaded. The friendlier sentence would have quietly disabled the retry this refusal exists to ask for. options.code cannot buy the classification back; only the wording can. A test pins the wording rather than only the resulting code, because the next person to improve this sentence will not know.

The name is never a private identifier. It is the public account selector when the request carried one, otherwise the durable p-prefixed log label — never the raw pool id, never the email. Those are the identifiers responses-compaction-routing.test.ts and codex-auth-context.test.ts already assert must not reach an operator-facing surface, and an error body travels further than a log line. When neither resolves, the sentence degrades to "the selected Codex pool account" rather than naming something opaque.

The catalog drop now explains itself. A gated native model that no usable account backs is omitted from the catalog. That is the difficulty: there is no row, so there is nothing downstream for a reason to ride on, and after the omission no surface can tell "never entitled" apart from "the account broke this morning". The suppression site now says which accounts are stuck, while the entitlement snapshot that produced the omission is still in scope.

That explanation is deliberately narrow in two ways, both of which exist to keep it worth reading:

  • It is produced only when an account needs reauthentication. Being unentitled to a gated model is the default state of most installations; explaining that on every sync would fire for everyone and bury the one case an operator can act on.
  • It considers only accounts that could have served the model in question. An account upstream positively denied is not the reason the model is missing, and naming it would send the operator to repair a credential that was never going to help. An unconfirmed roster stays a candidate, because that is exactly what a credential stuck on a failed refresh looks like — entitlement reads unknown rather than granted precisely because the evidence went missing.

Catalog bytes are unchanged. The suppressed slugs are still suppressed, so the existing oracles asserting gated slugs stay absent from the written catalog keep asserting exactly that.

Verification

  • bun run testNOT RUN (operator instruction for this round).
  • bun run test:changedNOT RUN (operator instruction).
  • bun run typecheckNOT RUN (operator instruction).
  • bun run build:guiNOT RUN; no GUI change in this PR.
  • Hosted CI on the exact pushed head 605034a6dedd2a5cd4e5fc00025ac0cc542b5dd1 is the product evidence for this change.

Regression tests added (written, not executed locally):

  • tests/responses/responses-pool-refresh-attribution.test.ts — the refusal names the selector the request used, falls back to the durable log label, never contains the raw pool id or the email, degrades rather than naming something opaque, keeps 503 + Retry-After: 1 + server_error/server_is_overloaded, and keeps the reclassifying substring out of the body.
  • tests/codex-integration/catalog-gated-native-suppression-reason.test.ts — silent for a healthy install, silent when the stuck account was never entitled to the model, speaks for an entitled or unconfirmed account, reports the proportion when only some are stuck, respects the eligible-account filter, and orders names so one unchanged situation cannot re-warn.

Both files are registered in scripts/test-layout/layout.json and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json.

Reading-only verification, by read-only xai/grok-4.6 subagents over the staged commit:

  • The first adversarial pass returned FAIL and caught the reauthentication classifier trap described above, plus a case where an ordinary unentitled user holding any stuck account would have received a misleading warning. Both were fixed before this PR was opened; the second pass returned PASS after walking every classifyError predicate that runs before the 503 arm against the final message string.
  • Import graph: core.ts does not import ./compact, so the shared helper adds no cycle. The new sync.ts imports (account-runtime-state, account-label) do not re-enter catalog/sync, and account-label was already on that module graph.
  • Lab boundary: src/server/responses/core.ts gained no import, src/server/index.ts is untouched, and no new edge reaches src/lab/.
  • The existing gated-slug oracles in codex-convergence-account-selectors.test.ts, native-model-toggle.test.ts and codex-catalog-sync-hardening.test.ts still hold, because the new loop only warns.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed — no user-facing documented behaviour changed; both surfaces are diagnostic text.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

On that last box specifically: this PR puts an account name into an HTTP error body and a log line, which is the one thing worth scrutinising here. Both names are the identifiers this codebase already treats as publishable — the public selector the operator chose, or the derived p-prefixed label the dashboard shows. The raw pool id, the ChatGPT account id and the email never appear, and a test asserts that rather than leaving it to review.

Unrelated finding, reported not fixed

src/server/responses/codex-auth-error.ts:39 on dev already ships a 503 whose body contains reauthentication, so the native-main sibling of this refusal is hitting the same classifyError trap today: it is being served as authentication_error / invalid_api_key, and Codex is not applying retry-after backoff to it. Its test asserts only the status, the Retry-After header and the message text, so it stays green while shipping that. It is outside the paths this lane owns and outside this commit, so it is left alone here and flagged for whoever owns that file.

Closes #4212

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added clearer diagnostics when account-gated native models are unavailable because eligible accounts require reauthentication, including the affected account names and count.
    • Improved pool credential refresh errors to identify the affected account safely and advise signing in again when needed.
    • Refresh failures remain retryable with appropriate retry guidance, while avoiding exposure of account IDs or email addresses.

지금 dev 끝은 babb76449 (#4240 L4 client-catalog 호환) 이고, 그 앞에 L7 remote-hub(#4241), L6 Qoder scaffold(#4234), L4 stop-refusal(#4237), L3 pool plan-policy(#4238) 가 깔려 있습니다. 이 PR은 그 흐름과 맞닿아 있습니다. pool 계정이 자격 증명 갱신에 막혔을 때 모델이 조용히 사라지고, 운영자는 “프록시가 고장 났다”고 오해하던 #4212 를 고칩니다. astra/sol 같은 게이트 모델이 카탈로그에서 빠졌는데, 실제 원인은 한 계정의 실패한 refresh 였고, 그때 화면과 로그가 계정을 가리키지 않았던 문제입니다.

고치는 면은 두 곳입니다. 첫째, 요청 시점 거절입니다. src/server/responses/core.tsrefreshPoolForwardAuthsrc/server/responses/compact.tsrefreshPoolCompactContext 가 예전에 같은 문장(Codex credential refresh did not complete; retry this request)을 따로 만들고 있었습니다. 이제는 공용 헬퍼 poolCredentialRefreshIncompleteResponse 로 모읍니다. HTTP는 그대로 재시도 가능한 503 + Retry-After: 1 이고, quarantine 도 하지 않습니다(#2887: 토큰 엔드포인트 5xx 로 건강한 계정을 빼면 안 됨). 달라진 점은 문장에 공개 selector 또는 p 접두 로그 라벨을 넣고, 계속 실패하면 그 계정으로 다시 로그인하라는 출구를 붙인 점입니다. compact 쪽은 RouteResult 가 없어서 selector 를 못 받던 계약을 고치려고 codexAccountNamespace 를 인자로 넘깁니다. 그래서 일반 responses 와 compact 가 더 이상 서로 다른 친절함을 갖지 않습니다.

둘째, 카탈로그 생략 설명입니다. 계정 게이트 네이티브 모델은 쓸 계정이 없으면 행 자체가 안 만들어집니다. 행이 없으니 이유 필드도 없습니다. src/codex/catalog/sync.tswriteRetainedCatalogSyncunavailableGatedNativeSlugs 를 만들 때, 아직 entitlement 스냅샷이 보이는 자리에서 gatedNativeReauthSuppressionReason 으로 경고를 냅니다. 평범한 “이 모델에 원래 자격 없음” 은 조용히 두고, 재인증이 필요한 계정만 말합니다. upstream 이 이미 denied 한 계정은 원인에서 빼고, roster 가 확인되지 않은(unknown) 계정은 후보에 남깁니다. 그게 실패한 refresh 와 같은 모양이기 때문입니다. 이름은 codexAccountLogLabel / fallbackCodexAccountLogLabel 또는 main 이고, raw pool id·이메일은 안 넣습니다. 카탈로그 바이트(어떤 slug 를 빼는지)는 그대로라서 기존 gated-slug 오라클을 깨지 않습니다.

문장 선택이 핵심입니다. HTTP 거절 본문에 reauthentication 을 쓰면 src/lib/errors.tsclassifyErrorisAuthenticationMessage 를 status 503 분기보다 먼저 탑니다. 그 검사는 상태코드와 무관하게 부분문자열 authentication 을 봅니다. reauthentication 안에 그 글자가 들어 있어서, 본문이 authentication_error / invalid_api_key 로 다시 분류되고 Codex 는 server_is_overloaded 일 때만 retry-after 백오프를 씁니다. 그래서 이 PR은 “sign in to that account again” 으로 피하고, 테스트가 결과 코드뿐 아니라 금지어 자체도 잠급니다. 반면 카탈로그 console.warn 쪽은 클라이언트 classifyError 를 타지 않아서 needs reauthentication 을 씁니다. 표면마다 단어가 다른 이유는 맞지만, 나중에 로그 문장을 HTTP 로 복사하면 같은 함정에 빠질 수 있습니다.

회귀 테스트는 tests/responses/responses-pool-refresh-attribution.test.tstests/codex-integration/catalog-gated-native-suppression-reason.test.ts 가 레이아웃 JSON 에 등록되어 있습니다. selector 우선, log label 폴백, raw id/email 비노출, opaque degrade, 503 계약, authentication 금지어, 건강한 설치 침묵, denied-only 침묵, unconfirmed 후보, 일부만 stuck 비율, eligible 필터, 이름 정렬 안정성을 덮습니다. 로컬 bun run test / typecheck 는 안 돌렸고 hosted CI 에 맡긴 상태입니다. 이 리뷰 시점에는 hygiene/api usage 등은 통과했고 test 샤드·gates·docker smoke 는 아직 pending 입니다. types/config 분할 캠페인에 걸려 닫을 대상이 아닙니다.

src/server/responses/codex-auth-error.ts (이 PR 밖, 현재 dev) - 메인 계정 실패 갱신 503 본문에 이미 needs reauthentication 이 들어 있어서, 같은 classifyError 함정에 지금도 걸립니다. PR 본문이 지적한 그대로이고, 테스트가 status/Retry-After/문장만 보면 초록으로 남을 수 있습니다.
src/codex/catalog/sync.ts gatedNativeReauthSuppressionReason / warnGatedNativeSuppressedOnce - 경고 문장은 reauthentication 을 쓰고 HTTP 거절은 일부러 안 씁니다. 의도된 비대칭이지만, 다음 사람이 카탈로그 문장을 responses 로 옮기면 재분류가 다시 납니다.
src/codex/catalog/sync.ts warnedGatedNativeSuppression - 프로세스 전역 warn-once Set 이라 같은 slug+reason 은 재시작 전까지 한 번만 찍습니다. 계정이 고쳤다가 같은 이유로 다시 깨져도 조용할 수 있습니다. 테스트용 resetGatedNativeSuppressionWarningsForTests 는 있습니다.
Verification 절 - 로컬 테스트/타입체크를 돌리지 않았고 CI 증거에 기대므로, merge 전에 test 샤드·gates 초록을 확인하는 게 안전합니다.
tests/responses/responses-pool-refresh-attribution.test.ts - formatErrorResponse(..., "server_busy", ...) 결과가 server_error/server_is_overloaded 로 나오는 계약을 잠급니다. 이 매핑이 바뀌면 이름 붙이기와 무관하게 Codex 재시도가 깨지므로 유지가 중요합니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • codex-auth-error.ts 메인 계정 503 의 reauthentication 함정을 이 라운드에서 같이 고칠지, 별도 follow-up 이슈/PR 로 남길지
  • 카탈로그 warn 의 reauthentication 표현을 HTTP 와 같은 “sign in again” 계열로 통일할지, 로그는 그대로 둘지
  • warn-once 전역 Set 을 프로세스 수명으로 둘지, 계정 복구 후 다시 울리게 완화할지
  • CI(특히 responses / codex-integration 샤드) 초록을 merge 게이트로 둘지, 이미 읽기 전용 adversarial PASS 만으로 충분한지

너의 추천
CI test/gates 초록 확인 후 merge 하세요. #4212 를 닫는 초점에 맞고, core/compact 공용화와 식별자 비노출·분류기 함정 회피가 테스트로 잠겨 있습니다. codex-auth-error.ts 형제 함정은 이 PR 범위 밖이니 merge 직후 짧은 follow-up 으로 같은 문장 규칙을 맞추는 편이 좋습니다.

Only warn when the bare native surface is enabled.

unavailableGatedNativeSlugs is computed from entitlement state before includeNativeOpenAi. When another provider is enabled but the canonical OpenAI provider is absent, disabled, or not a forward provider, shouldIncludeNativeOpenAi(config) returns false. The merge then omits bare native rows, but this loop can still report them as suppressed by reauthentication.

Compute includeNativeOpenAi before this loop and guard the warning loop with it.

Two surfaces changed because one pooled account stopped being usable, and
neither said so. The reporter in #4212 lost astra and sol through the proxy,
found the proxy worked with ocx turned off, and concluded OpenCodex had broken.
The real cause was a single account stuck on a failed credential refresh, which
they eventually found themselves and then asked to be told about.

The request-time refusal now names the account. refreshPoolForwardAuth and
refreshPoolCompactContext both caught a non-terminal refresh failure and returned
"Codex credential refresh did not complete; retry this request", which describes a
transient server problem. It stays a retryable 503 and stays non-quarantining,
because the refresh genuinely may succeed and a token-endpoint 5xx must not retire
a healthy account (#2887). What it gains is the account and the exit: when
retrying stops helping, that account has to be signed in again. The two call sites
now share one helper, so the regular and compact contracts on this endpoint cannot
drift the way they already had -- compact takes no RouteResult and so could not
reach the public selector at all until its caller started passing it.

The refusal says "sign in to that account again" rather than the more natural
"needs reauthentication", and that is load-bearing. classifyError runs
isAuthenticationMessage before it reaches the status === 503 arm, and that check is
status-blind on the bare substring "authentication", which "reauthentication"
contains. The friendlier wording reclassifies the body to authentication_error /
invalid_api_key while the HTTP status stays 503, and Codex applies retry-after
backoff only for server_is_overloaded -- so it would have quietly disabled the
retry this refusal exists to ask for. A test pins the wording, not just the
resulting code, because the next person to improve this sentence will not know.

The name is a public account selector when the request carried one, otherwise the
durable p-prefixed log label. Never the raw pool id and never the email: those are
the identifiers responses-compaction-routing.test.ts and codex-auth-context.test.ts
already assert must not reach an operator-facing surface, and an error body travels
further than a log line. When neither resolves, the sentence degrades to "the
selected Codex pool account" rather than naming something opaque.

The catalog drop now explains itself. A gated native model that no usable account
backs is omitted from the catalog -- there is no row, so nothing downstream could
attach a reason to it, and no later surface can tell "never entitled" apart from
"the account broke this morning". The suppression site now says which accounts are
stuck while the entitlement snapshot that produced the omission is still in scope.

That explanation is deliberately narrow, in two ways. It is produced only when an
account needs reauthentication, because being unentitled is the default state of
most installations and explaining that on every sync would bury the case an
operator can act on. And it considers only accounts that could have served the
model in question: an account upstream positively denied is not the reason the
model is missing, so naming it would send the operator to repair a credential that
was never going to help. An unconfirmed roster stays a candidate, because that is
exactly what a credential stuck on a failed refresh looks like.

Catalog bytes are unchanged. The suppressed slugs are still suppressed, so the
existing oracles that assert gated slugs stay absent from the written catalog keep
asserting exactly that.

Skip reauthentication warnings for intentionally omitted native models. writeRetainedCatalogSync runs this loop before checking shouldIncludeNativeOpenAi(config) or disabledNativeSlugs(config). If native OpenAI models are excluded, or the gated slug is user-disabled, an unknown account marked for reauthentication can still produce warnGatedNativeSuppressedOnce, which logs “Sign in again to restore it” even though no native row is eligible. Compute these visibility states before the loop and skip excluded slugs.

- Around line 1851-1864: The writeRetainedCatalogSync flow should compute the
shouldIncludeNativeOpenAi(config) and disabledNativeSlugs(config) visibility
states before iterating unavailableGatedNativeSlugs, then skip warning
generation for native slugs excluded by either condition. Preserve
gatedNativeReauthSuppressionReason and warnGatedNativeSuppressedOnce for
eligible, visible slugs.

Maintainer integration into dev per MAINTAINERS.md — integrating without a second maintainer approval, as the policy permits for dev with admin access. This is integration, not self-approval: no approving review has been submitted on my own work.

Rebased onto dev at a8f76197d (which already carries #4244). Clean replay, no conflicts — dev had no commit touching src/codex/catalog/sync.ts, src/server/responses/compact.ts or src/server/responses/core.ts since the merge base, and both test-layout registry entries auto-merged against the ones dev gained.

A review pass over the replay specifically checked the AGENTS.md core-path boundary, since this PR touches src/server/responses/core.ts: the diff adds no imports to core.ts — the new poolCredentialRefreshIncompleteResponse helper uses symbols already in scope — and compact.ts imports from ./core, which is the reverse edge. sync.ts's two added imports are already on core.ts's graph and neither reaches src/lab/.

Exact-head verification — d2779262d5d37ff72e6c77aa58dcd6d46293a8db:

  • Hosted CI green on that head across Linux, Windows and macOS. gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast exited 0; test 1-4/4, gates, macos 1-2/2, keyring x3, npm-global x3, docker smoke, storage policy, hygiene, enforce-target all pass.
  • Local: bun run typecheck exit 0.
  • Local: the two new test files plus tests/test-layout.test.ts, tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts and tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts — 48 pass / 0 fail.
  • Local: tests/responses/responses-pool-401-refresh.test.ts and tests/codex-integration/codex-catalog-sync-hardening.test.ts — 54 pass / 0 fail. These were added on the reviewer's recommendation because they exercise the live call sites of refreshPoolForwardAuth, refreshPoolCompactContext and writeRetainedCatalogSync, which the two new unit-level files do not reach.

Merging with a merge commit, matching the convention on dev.
