Summary

Follow-up to #2142. That PR backfilled the required id field on output items. After it merged, grok-build still fails with two more strict-decoder errors on the Responses passthrough path:

  • serialization error: missing field status — some upstream relays omit status on message output items. OutputMessage.status is a required OutputStatus (no #[serde(default)]) in the async-openai fork that grok-build pins (rev 95b52eb).

  • serialization error: missing field created_at — some upstream relays omit created_at on the Response object in response.created / response.completed events. Response.created_at is a required u64 (no #[serde(default)]).

Both are the same class of problem as annotations (#1941) and id (#2142): a required field with no serde default, omitted by a relay that the openai-responses passthrough adapter forwards verbatim. The translation path (bridge.ts) is unaffected — closeCurrentMessage already emits status: "completed", and responseSnapshot already emits created_at.

What changed

backfillItemStatus (responses-field-backfill.ts): adds status to output items when type === "message" and the field is absent. Only message items carry this field in the Responses schema; reasoning, function_call, and other item types do not. The value is inferred from the event context:

  • output_item.addedin_progress (the item is still being generated)
  • output_item.donecompleted
  • Response-level events (response.created, response.completed, etc.) → derived from the response status field

Existing values are never overwritten.

created_at backfill (in backfillResponseOutput): adds created_at to the response object when absent. The timestamp is captured once per rewrite factory (SSE path) or once per call (JSON path), so every event in the same stream carries the same value, even if the stream spans a second boundary.

Both backfills are wired through backfillOutputItem / backfillResponseOutput, so they cover the SSE block rewrite path (createResponsesFieldBackfillBlockRewrite) and the bounded-JSON passthrough path (backfillResponsesFieldsJson) simultaneously.

Verification

  • bun test tests/responses-field-backfill.test.ts — 34 pass, 0 fail (28 existing + 6 new: backfill in_progress on output_item.added, backfill in_progress on response.created, backfill incomplete on response.incomplete, created_at consistency across events in the same stream, plus the existing status/created_at tests).
  • bun x tsc --noEmit — no new errors (3 pre-existing errors in claude-messages.ts and fetch-helpers.ts are unchanged on origin/dev).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (No user-facing behavior change beyond fixing the crash; the backfill module is internal.)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (Adds protocol-required fields with safe defaults only; no credential, auth, or user content is read or logged.)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The response field backfill adds missing message-item statuses and response-level created_at timestamps. It applies to SSE and JSON responses, preserves existing values, and leaves non-message items unchanged.

Changes

설명
이 PR은 Responses 통과 경로에서 상류 서버가 꼭 필요한 값을 빼먹었을 때, OpenCodex가 그 값을 채워 주려는 수정입니다. 지금 devsrc/server/responses/responses-field-backfill.tsannotations와 출력 항목 id만 고칩니다. 출력 항목을 고치는 중심은 128140줄의 backfillOutputItem이고, 응답 전체를 걷는 곳은 147158줄의 backfillResponseOutput입니다. PR은 여기에 메시지의 status와 응답의 created_at을 더합니다. 엄격한 디코더는 이 두 값이 없으면 응답 내용을 읽기 전에 실패하므로, 문제를 고치는 방향과 파일 위치는 맞습니다.

이 보정기는 실제 통과 경로에도 이미 알맞게 연결되어 있습니다. 스트리밍 응답은 src/server/responses/core.ts 3905줄에서 createResponsesFieldBackfillBlockRewrite()를 항상 사용하고, JSON 응답은 같은 파일 4113~4114줄에서 backfillResponsesFieldsJson()을 사용합니다. 따라서 이 한 모듈을 고치면 SSE와 JSON을 함께 고칠 수 있습니다. 번역 경로를 따로 건드리지 않은 것도 범위를 작게 지키는 좋은 선택입니다.

created_at을 응답 최상위에 넣고, 이미 값이 있으면 그대로 두는 원칙도 좋습니다. status도 메시지 항목에만 넣고 함수 호출이나 추론 항목에는 넣지 않으므로 스키마 범위를 잘 지켰습니다. 새 테스트는 값이 없을 때 채우기, 기존 값 보존, 메시지가 아닌 항목 보존, SSE와 JSON 두 경로를 확인합니다. CI도 현재 통과했습니다.

하지만 status를 언제나 completed로 넣으면 스트림 초반의 뜻이 틀립니다. 현재 devrewriteEvent는 170186줄에서 response.output_item.addedresponse.output_item.done을 같은 backfillOutputItem으로 보냅니다. PR의 새 함수는 두 이벤트를 구분하지 않으므로, 아직 내용 델타가 이어질 output_item.added 메시지도 이미 끝난 메시지로 바꿉니다. 198205줄의 응답 스냅샷 처리도 response.createdresponse.completed를 구분하지 않으므로 같은 문제가 생깁니다. 새 테스트는 donecompleted만 검사해서 이 잘못된 초반 상태를 잡지 못합니다.

또한 PR은 created_at이 빠진 SSE 이벤트를 만날 때마다 그 순간의 Date.now()를 새로 부릅니다. 한 응답이 1초를 넘기면 response.createdresponse.completed에 서로 다른 생성 시각이 들어갈 수 있습니다. 이 보정기 팩토리는 요청마다 src/server/responses/core.ts 3905줄에서 한 번 만들어지므로, 팩토리를 만들 때 시각을 한 번 잡아 같은 스트림의 모든 이벤트에 재사용할 수 있습니다. JSON 경로는 함수 호출 한 번 안에서 시각을 한 번 잡으면 됩니다.

src/server/responses/responses-field-backfill.ts/backfillItemStatus - output_item.addedresponse.created에도 무조건 completed를 넣어 진행 중인 메시지를 끝난 메시지로 잘못 표시합니다.
src/server/responses/responses-field-backfill.ts/backfillResponseOutput - 이벤트마다 현재 시각을 다시 계산해 같은 응답의 created_at이 스트림 도중 달라질 수 있습니다.
tests/responses-field-backfill.test.ts - output_item.added/response.created의 상태와 한 스트림 안 created_at 일관성을 검사하는 회귀 테스트가 없습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • 빠진 메시지 상태를 이벤트 종류에 맞춰 in_progress/completed/incomplete로 추론할지, 관찰된 오류가 난 종료 이벤트에서만 보정할지 정해야 합니다.
  • 상류가 생성 시각을 주지 않았을 때 요청 단위의 보정 시각을 쓰는 것을 호환 정책으로 받아들일지 정해야 합니다.

너의 추천
지금 바로 합치지 말고 변경을 요청하는 것을 추천합니다. status를 이벤트 단계에 맞게 넣고, created_at은 보정기 생성 시 한 번 계산해 같은 응답에서 고정하세요. output_item.added, response.created, 1초가 지나도 같은 created_at을 쓰는 테스트를 더한 뒤 합치면 됩니다.

The backfill belongs in the right module, but status inference is currently too coarse. response.output_item.added and snapshots in response.created can receive completed even though deltas are still expected. Infer status from event/response phase: added/created should remain in_progress, done/completed should be completed, and incomplete terminals should remain incomplete.

Also capture the fallback created_at once per stream-rewriter instance (and once per JSON rewrite), rather than calling Date.now for each event, so one response cannot acquire different creation timestamps over a long stream. Add regressions for output_item.added, response.created, incomplete status, existing-value preservation, and stream-wide timestamp identity.

Careful work, and the same class of fix as #1941/#2142 done the same way — preserve when present, synthesize only when absent, return the same object reference when nothing changed so the no-op path stays allocation-free. The if ("status" in item) return item check is the right shape: a present-but-odd value is upstream's to own, not ours to correct.

Two things I checked because they're the usual traps here, and both are clean — worth saying so you don't get asked:

  • created_at is seconds, not milliseconds. Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) on both paths. A u64 a thousand times too large would decode fine and be wrong forever, so this is the detail I'd have gone looking for first.
  • The factory is per-request, not per-process. createResponsesFieldBackfillBlockRewrite() is called inside handleResponsesInner (core.ts:3937), so "captured once per rewrite factory" means once per stream. If it were hoisted to module scope every response for the process lifetime would carry the boot timestamp. It isn't. Might be worth a word in the docstring pinning that requirement, since the correctness of the comment depends on a call site in another file.

Where I'd push back is response.failedcompleted.

inferredStatusForEventType falls through to "completed" for any unmatched event type, and messageStatusFromResponseStatus("failed") returns null, so the fallback wins. The test pins it deliberately:

// "failed" is not a valid OutputMessage status; the backfill should have
// fallen back to the event-type inference (completed for response.failed).
expect(parsed.response.output[0].status).toBe("completed");

I agree entirely with the first half — failed must not be written to OutputMessage.status. It's the choice of replacement I'd question. On response.failed the message demonstrably did not complete; the fixture's own text is "partial". incomplete is the exact word the schema provides for "generation stopped before finishing", and it's already in the accepted set.

The distinction matters more here than it would in most code because this is a passthrough path. Backfilling annotations: [] or a synthetic id is safe precisely because the value is uncontroversial — it carries no claim. status: "completed" does carry a claim, and it's a claim the upstream never made and that happens to be false. A client branching on status === "completed" to decide whether to render a message as final, persist it, or stop waiting will treat a truncated message as whole. That's a worse failure than the decode error being fixed, because it's silent.

Concretely, I'd map at the response-status layer rather than the event-type layer:

function messageStatusFromResponseStatus(status: string): string | null {
  if (status === "in_progress" || status === "completed" || status === "incomplete") return status;
  // A response that failed or was cancelled did not finish generating its
  // message. `incomplete` is the message-level equivalent; `completed` would
  // assert something the upstream never claimed.
  if (status === "failed" || status === "cancelled") return "incomplete";
  return null;
}

and flip inferredStatusForEventType to return "incomplete" for response.failed so the two agree when the response status is absent too. That keeps every existing test green except the one asserting completed, which would become the assertion that this is incomplete.

If completed was chosen because a client somewhere chokes on incomplete, that's a fair reason and worth putting in the comment — right now the comment explains what the code does but not why completed beat incomplete, and that's the decision a future reader will want.

Everything else looks right to me, including not touching non-message items and the per-stream created_at consistency test.

Reviewed exact head aa385f9746fed35a9ec1bd249dff65891c2d23cd. The focused field-backfill suite is now correct (37/37 passed locally in the isolated PR worktree), and the previous lifecycle/status blockers appear resolved. The current exact-head full CI still has one deterministic integration failure, however: run 33032444280, job test 4/4 (98392954733).

tests/server-combo-failover-e2e.test.ts:1323 still requires the backup Responses JSON to equal the upstream fixture byte-for-byte. This PR intentionally adds created_at at the response level and status: "completed" to the message item, so that existing assertion now fails with exactly those new fields. Update this integration regression to assert the intended backfilled shape while preserving the actual purpose of the test: the backup response content/model/usage must remain exact apart from the documented compatibility backfill. Because created_at is generated, assert its valid integer shape or control time deterministically rather than hard-coding the wall clock.

Please rerun exact-head CI after updating the integration expectation. I am keeping changes requested until every required shard is green; this is a test-integration blocker, not a new objection to the backfill design.

…oders

Follow-up to lidge-jun#2142. Two more required fields cause the same strict-decoder
crash on the Responses passthrough path when an upstream relay omits them:
OutputMessage.status (no #[serde(default)] in the async-openai fork) and
Response.created_at (u64, no default).

Status is inferred from event context: output_item.added gets in_progress,
output_item.done gets completed, and response-level events derive it from
the response status field or the event type itself (created/in_progress →
in_progress, completed → completed, incomplete → incomplete).

created_at is captured once per rewrite factory so every event in the same
stream agrees, even across a second boundary.

Both backfills are wired through backfillOutputItem / backfillResponseOutput,
covering SSE and bounded-JSON passthrough. Existing values are never
overwritten. The translation path (bridge.ts) already emits both fields.
The passthrough backfill adds response-level created_at when the upstream
omits it, so the cross-adapter exact-match assertion gains one generated
field. Assert its integer shape, drop it, and keep the byte-for-byte
requirement for everything else.

…rge round

Compile-gates all 12 PRs in isolated worktrees, which the draft-PR CI does not do,
and assigns each to a disposition lane.

Two PRs are not what their status says:
- lidge-jun#2694 is review-ready with green checks and does not compile (5 tsc errors,
  including a call to a function defined nowhere).
- lidge-jun#2693 is a test-only diff whose test fails on its own branch; the implementation
  was never written.

lidge-jun#2639 is a real fix carrying a real regression: its created_at backfill breaks the
byte-exact passthrough assertion in tests/server-combo-failover-e2e.test.ts:1323.

`queued` is a real Responses lifecycle status — the response exists but has not
started generating. It is neither a valid OutputMessage status nor listed in the
event-type table, so it fell through to the `completed` default and marked an
unstarted message as finished.

That is the exact overclaim messageStatusFromResponseStatus was written to
prevent: it maps failed/cancelled to `incomplete` rather than `completed`
precisely so a client cannot treat an unfinished message as whole. `queued`
slipped past the same reasoning.

Found by the independent reviewer auditing the #2639 cherry-pick, not by the
original PR or its tests.

Proven load-bearing: removing either line fails 2 of the 35 cases.

Partially landed on dev as 64c6d642b (PR #2721), in the cherry-pick lane of the 260827 bug-PR merge round.

Taken as-is: the status backfill. Your diagnosis is right — OutputMessage.status is required and a relay that omits it breaks strict decoders — and so is the call to map response-level failed/cancelled to incomplete rather than completed. Writing completed there would let a client treat a truncated message as whole. That reasoning is what made the rest of the change easy to trust.

Not taken: the created_at backfill. It breaks tests/server-combo-failover-e2e.test.ts:1323, which asserts a combo backup response is relayed byte-exact:

Two real contracts collide — "relay this verbatim" and "add the field the upstream omitted" — and which one yields is a decision worth making deliberately rather than folding in beside status. Worth knowing: status is only safe by accident. That fixture happens to already carry status, so it never exercises the injection; delete that one field and the same assertion fails identically. Recorded in devlog/_plan/260827_bug_pr_merge_round/021_status_vs_created_at_asymmetry.md, and the follow-up is probably to exempt the passthrough path from field backfill entirely.

One defect found while reviewing: response.queued fell through to the completed default, marking an unstarted message as finished — the same overclaim your failed → incomplete mapping exists to prevent. Fixed in 6877f646f with two regression cases.

Closing since the correct half is on dev. If you want to pursue created_at, a PR that scopes it to the translated path (or updates the combo contract on purpose) would be very welcome.
