+# 260829 — Green-PR merge train
+
+Eight rebased pull requests reached a fully green test matrix on `dev@e546c160b` and are
+candidates to land. This unit records why each one is safe to merge, the order the merges
+must happen in, and the two integration designs that have to be built before their PRs can
+land at all.
+
+## Why this needs a written analysis rather than eight merge clicks
+
+The eight diffs are not independent. Five pairs touch the same file, and three of those
+pairs touch `src/config.ts` — the shared config parser every provider path reads. Merging
+in arrival order would produce conflicts that a later merge resolves blindly, which is the
+failure mode that produced the #2850 → #2851 follow-up: a merge that looked clean and
+needed a security repair one hour later.
+
+A second reason is drift. `dev` moved from `e546c160b` to `8d1dc1f5d` while this set was
+being prepared (#2861, #2862, #2865, #2868, #2869). Every green result recorded earlier
+belongs to the head that produced it, not to the head the merge will land on.
+
+## Regression-impact inventory
+
+Source files each PR touches, ignoring docs and tests:
+
+| PR | Subject | `src/` surface |
+|---|---|---|
+| #2365 | usage cache metrics | `usage/summary.ts` |
+| #2429 | `test:changed` local check | `AGENTS.md` only |
+| #1756 | Grok per-model reasoning effort | `grok/{catalog,effort,inject,models}.ts`, `server/index.ts` |
+| #2050 | combo routing strategies | `combos/*`, `cli/*`, `providers/quota*.ts`, `router.ts`, `types/config.ts` |
+| #2827 | trusted Responses request id | `server/index.ts`, `server/request-log.ts` |
+| #2364 | Vercel AI Gateway routing | `adapters/openai-chat.ts`, `config.ts`, `providers/vercel-gateway-routing.ts`, `server/auth-cors.ts`, `types.ts`, `types/provider.ts` |
+| #2712 | xAI `x_search` opt-in | `adapters/{openai-responses,xai-web-search}.ts`, `config.ts`, `server/auth-cors.ts`, `server/responses/core.ts`, `types/provider.ts` |
+| #2854 | blocked-model redirection | `config.ts`, `lib/shadow-call.ts`, `router.ts`, `types/config.ts` |
+
+## Overlap matrix
+
+Computed by intersecting the `src/` file sets, not by reading titles:
+
+```
+#1756 x #2827   src/server/index.ts
+#2050 x #2854   src/router.ts, src/types/config.ts
+#2364 x #2712   src/config.ts, src/server/auth-cors.ts, src/types/provider.ts
+#2364 x #2854   src/config.ts
+#2712 x #2854   src/config.ts
+```
+
+Collision degree per PR: `#2854=3`, `#2364=2`, `#2712=2`, `#1756=1`, `#2050=1`,
+`#2827=1`, `#2365=0`, `#2429=0`.
+
+## Derived merge order
+
+Ascending collision degree, so each merge lands against the largest possible amount of
+already-settled `dev`, and the diff most likely to conflict resolves last against a tree
+that already contains everything it must coexist with:
+
+```
+#2365 -> #2429 -> #1756 -> #2050 -> #2827 -> #2364 -> #2712 -> #2854
+```
+
+`#2854` merging last is the load-bearing part of this order. It touches `config.ts`
+alongside both #2364 and #2712, and `router.ts` alongside #2050 — it is the only PR that
+collides with more than one other cluster, so it is the only one whose conflicts are
+cheaper to resolve once rather than three times.
+
+Waves, because `dev` CI is the gate and a wave is the smallest useful unit to verify:
+
+- **Wave A** — `#2365`, `#2429`, `#1756`: zero or single collisions, no shared config surface.
+- **Wave B** — `#2050`, `#2827`: single collisions each.
+- **Wave C** — `#2364`, `#2712`, `#2854`: the `config.ts` / `auth-cors.ts` cluster.
+
+**Corrected after audit.** An earlier draft claimed wave B's collisions were "already
+settled by wave A". They are not: `#2050` collides with `#2854`, which is in wave C, and
+`#2827` collides with `#1756` in wave A. Only `#2827`'s is settled by A. `#2050` is placed
+in B because its one collision partner merges later, so `#2854` absorbs the resolution —
+which is the same reason `#2854` is last.
+
+## Per-merge mechanics (added after audit)
+
+Merge order alone does not make a later PR land against settled `dev`; it only decides who
+resolves the conflict. All eight heads currently share merge base `e546c160b`, and `dev` is
+already five commits past it, so each merge must carry its own freshness step:
+
+1. Rebase the PR onto the then-current `dev`.
+2. Push and let CI run on that exact head.
+3. Merge only on a green technical matrix.
+4. Re-read `dev` CI before starting the next merge.
+
+Skipping step 1 would also drift heads past the repository's ten-commit readiness
+allowance as the train advances, so the freshness step is a gate requirement and not only
+a correctness preference.
+
+#2429 and #2827 cannot enter their wave until the two designs below are built.
+
+## What this unit does not cover
+
+Five rebased PRs are excluded because CI found real defects in them, not stale-base
+artifacts: #2716 (display name leaks into the opencode selector), #2351 (management route
+not declared in the registry), #2213 (xAI wire defaults), #2496 (residual failures), and
+#1829 (macOS launcher flake, unrelated to its own diff). They stay open.

+# wp1 — #2429: the privacy scanner rejects its own test fixture
+
+## Symptom
+
+`gates` fails on #2429's head. The failing step is `Privacy scan`, not a test:
+
+```
+Privacy scan failed:
+tests/test-runner.test.ts:42 email: test<at>opencodex.invalid
+error: script "privacy:scan" exited with code 1
+```
+
+Every test shard, `macos`, and all three `npm-global` matrices pass. The only red checks
+are `gates` and the two draft-checklist gates (`hygiene`, `enforce-target`), which are
+process gates rather than code failures.
+
+## Cause
+
+The PR's test helper commits a fixture repository and needs a git identity to do it:
+
+```ts
+runGit(
+  cwd,
+  "-c", "user.name=OpenCodex Test",
+  "-c", "user.email=test<at>opencodex.invalid",
+  "commit", "-m", message,
+);
+```
+
+`scripts/privacy-scan.ts` matches `/[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}/gi` across the
+tree. The fixture address satisfies that pattern, and `.invalid` is not on the
+allow-list, so the scanner is behaving correctly — the literal really is an email-shaped
+string in a tracked file.
+
+(This document writes the address as `test<at>opencodex.invalid` for exactly the same
+reason the fix exists: quoting the literal verbatim would make this file trip the scanner
+too. It did, on the first commit of this unit.)
+
+This is not a false positive worth loosening the scanner for. The scanner's value comes
+from having almost no exceptions; every added exception is a hole someone's real address
+can later fall through.
+
+## Design
+
+Use the idiom the repository already uses for exactly this problem. `privacy-scan.ts` and
+its own fixtures avoid self-matching by never writing an email as one literal:
+
+```ts
+["1", "gmail.com"].join("@")
+["stranger", "third-party.example.org"].join("@")
+```
+
+So the fix is a join at the call site:
+
+```ts
+const TEST_COMMIT_EMAIL = ["test", "opencodex.invalid"].join("@");
+```
+
+The value handed to git is byte-identical, so the fixture commits exactly as before and no
+test expectation changes. The scanner no longer sees an email literal because there is no
+longer one in the source.
+
+### Rejected alternatives
+
+- **Add `tests/test-runner.test.ts` to the scanner's allow-list.** The allow-list currently
+  holds two narrowly-argued entries (`a@b.com` in tests, a URL-userinfo fixture that reads
+  as `pw@host`). Adding a whole file would exempt every future email added to it.
+- **Allow the `.invalid` TLD globally.** `.invalid` is reserved and safe in principle, but
+  the exemption would apply repository-wide and the scanner's job is to be boring, not
+  clever.
+- **Drop the git identity and rely on ambient config.** CI runners have no global
+  `user.email`, so the fixture commit would fail. The identity is load-bearing.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bun run privacy:scan` exits 0 locally.
+- `bun x tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- `gates` returns success on the pushed head.
+- No local full-suite run: the user has forbidden it, and CI covers the shards.

+# wp2 — #2827: the request id a browser cannot read
+
+## Symptom
+
+#2827 is green across every check. The defect is not a failing test — it is a feature that
+silently does nothing for its stated consumer, found by review rather than by CI.
+
+The PR adds a response header carrying the request-log id:
+
+```ts
+const REQUEST_LOG_ID_RESPONSE_HEADER = "x-opencodex-request-id";
+
+function withRequestLogId(response: Response, requestId: string): Response {
+  const headers = new Headers(response.headers);
+  headers.set(REQUEST_LOG_ID_RESPONSE_HEADER, requestId);
+  return new Response(response.body, { status: response.status, statusText: response.statusText, headers });
+}
+```
+
+## Cause
+
+`corsHeaders()` in `src/server/auth-cors.ts` emits `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`,
+`-Allow-Methods`, `-Allow-Headers`, and `Vary` — but no `Access-Control-Expose-Headers`.
+
+The CORS default is that cross-origin JavaScript may read only the seven CORS-safelisted
+response headers. A custom `x-` header is not one of them, so `response.headers.get(
+"x-opencodex-request-id")` returns `null` in a browser even though the header is on the
+wire and visible in devtools.
+
+The tests pass because they call the handler directly. Server-side fetches see every header;
+the restriction is enforced by the browser, and nothing in the suite is a browser. This is
+the same shape of gap as a feature guarded by a flag no test sets — the code is right and
+unreachable.
+
+`-Allow-Headers` does not help: it governs what the **request** may send, not what the
+**response** may reveal.
+
+## Design
+
+Add the response-header allow-list next to the request one, naming exactly the header this
+proxy adds:
+
+```ts
+"Access-Control-Expose-Headers": REQUEST_LOG_ID_RESPONSE_HEADER,
+```
+
+Two constraints on how:
+
+1. **The constant moves to `auth-cors.ts` and `server/index.ts` imports it.** Two string
+   literals that must agree will eventually disagree; the header name has one owner.
+2. **`Vary` does not change.** `Expose-Headers` here is a constant, not a function of the
+   request, so it introduces no new cache dimension. Adding it to `Vary` would fragment the
+   cache for no reason.
+
+### Scope note
+
+**Corrected after audit.** The first draft said `managementCorsHeaders()` was "separate and
+not touched". That was wrong, and the audit caught it:
+
+```ts
+export function managementCorsHeaders(req?: Request, config?: OcxConfig): Record<string, string> {
+  const headers = corsHeaders();   // <- inherits everything, including a new Expose-Headers
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+Adding the key inside `corsHeaders()` would therefore have propagated it to every
+management response, which is the opposite of the scope the design claimed. The two
+options are to set it only in the data-plane wrapper, or to add it in `corsHeaders()` and
+strip it in `managementCorsHeaders()`.
+
+Take the first. `withCors()` is the data-plane wrapper and the only path that serves
+`/v1/responses`, so exposing the header there grants exactly the reach the feature needs.
+Stripping a key the shared helper just added would leave two places that must stay in
+agreement about a header neither of them owns.
+
+Concretely: `corsHeaders()` is left alone, and `withCors()` sets
+`Access-Control-Expose-Headers: x-opencodex-request-id` after copying the shared keys.
+
+## Regression test
+
+The existing suite cannot catch this class of defect, so the test asserts the header
+contract directly rather than the behavior of a browser we do not have:
+
+- `withCors(new Response(...), req, policy)` output contains `Access-Control-Expose-Headers`
+  naming `x-opencodex-request-id`. The assertion targets the wrapper, not `corsHeaders()`,
+  because the amended design deliberately leaves the shared helper untouched.
+- The exposed name matches the header `withRequestLogId` actually sets — one assertion
+  comparing the two, so a future rename of either side fails here instead of shipping a
+  header nobody can read.
+- `managementCorsHeaders()` output does NOT contain the key. This assertion is the one that
+  would have failed under the original design, so it is the reason the test exists.
+
+## Wrapper order (verified)
+
+The route composes the two wrappers as:
+
+```ts
+return withRequestLogId(
+  withCors(responseWithDeferredRequestLog(response, requestId, start, logCtx), req, policy),
+  requestId,
+);
+```
+
+`withCors()` runs first and `withRequestLogId()` wraps its result, copying headers through
+`new Headers(response.headers)`. So an expose header set inside `withCors()` survives onto
+the final response. Checked on #2827's head at `src/server/index.ts:1397` and `:1441`; no
+success path carrying the request-id header bypasses `withCors()`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bun x tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- Focused run of the CORS and request-log tests only.
+- CI green on the pushed head, including `gates`.

+
+Every rebase replayed without a conflict, so no semantic reconciliation was needed anywhere in the set. The overlap matrix in `000_plan.md` predicted five file collisions; each one turned out to be additive on both sides.
+
+## Two things the plan did not anticipate
+
+**The #2827 fix had to move out of `src/server/auth-cors.ts`.** The design in `020` placed the expose-header in `withCors()`, which was correct about *behaviour* — `managementCorsHeaders()` builds on `corsHeaders()`, so the shared helper was the wrong home — but that file is on the restricted list in `.github/scripts/pr-sponsored-surface.cjs`. Editing it made a PR that touched no credential surface fail `unsponsored_surface`, and self-sponsoring a gate I had tripped myself would have been backwards.
+
+The fix moved into `withRequestLogId` in `src/server/index.ts`, beside the header it names. That is a better home on its own merits: the name that is set and the name that is exposed now live two lines apart and cannot drift. It appends rather than overwrites, so a future data-plane exposure survives, and responses that never reach the wrapper stay untouched — which the existing `does not issue a request id before authentication and origin admission` test still proves.
+
+The lesson generalizes: when a hygiene gate fires on a restricted file, the first question is whether the change *needs* to be there, not who can sponsor it.
+
+**Two PRs did need genuine sponsorship.** #2364 and #2712 both legitimately touch `providerManagementConfigError()` in `auth-cors.ts`, and neither hunk can be dropped without leaving a new provider option unvalidated on every management write path. Both were reviewed as security boundaries and the review recorded on the PR before `maintainer-sponsored` was applied:
+
+- #2364 adds a `vercelGatewayRoutingConfigError` call that can only ever add a rejection, plus two non-secret routing keys in `safeConfigDTO()`. Structurally identical to the existing OpenRouter pair.
+- #2712 adds three lines rejecting a non-boolean `xaiResponsesXSearch`, beside the identical check for `responsesSnapshotRepair`. `safeConfigDTO()` untouched.
+
+## Findings raised during rebase and dismissed with evidence
+
+Two rebase jobs reported merge blockers. Both were checked against `dev` and neither was introduced by its PR.
+
+- **#2365 usage classification.** The claim was that mixed combo attempts can be counted unmetered in totals while per-model rows still accumulate priced cost. The guard in `addEstimatedCost` is byte-identical to the current `dev` version, and `isPriced` is the direct successor of `dev`'s `estimate !== null`. Pre-existing behaviour; the PR only hoists cost derivation into a shared `EntryCostInfo`.
+- **#2854 route reason.** `routeResult()` sets `routeReason` to `blocked-model-redirect`, and the policy and combo paths overwrite it with `policy-selected` and `combo-pick`. Real, but not a defect: `route.modelId` already carries the replacement model, so dispatch is correct and only the diagnostic label is lost. `routeReason` has no behavioural consumer — it feeds the decision trace and an alias-logging branch. Worth tightening when the trace grows a dedicated redirect field.
+
+## CI flakes distinguished from regressions
+
+Three macOS failures were environment timing, not code:
+
+- #1756 failed `ocx launcher graceful shutdown > SIGINT ...` in `tests/shutdown-launcher.test.ts`. The PR touches `src/grok/*`, `src/server/index.ts`, docs, and three `tests/grok-*` files; it never reaches the launcher path.
+- #2827 failed `CL-07 task effectiveness producer > inactivity timeout is bounded` in `tests/lab-fabric-task.test.ts` — Compatibility Lab, while the PR touches only server request-log files. The `ci` failure alongside it was the aggregate job reporting `platform-macos=failure`, not an independent signal.
+
+Both passed on re-run of the failed job at the same head. The rule applied: a macOS failure is a flake only after naming the test, locating its file, and showing the diff cannot reach it.
+
+## Verification
+
+No local `bun run test` was executed at any point — user constraint. Evidence is GitHub Actions on each exact merged head, plus `bun x tsc --noEmit` and `bun run privacy:scan` in each rebase worktree. Every merge re-ran `git merge-tree` against the then-current `dev` and confirmed zero conflict markers before landing, which is what kept the derived order honest as `dev` moved eight times underneath it.
+
+`dev` also advanced twice mid-train from another lane (#2875, #2876) plus #2861/#2862 landing earlier. That left the set two commits behind at one point — inside the gate's ten-commit tolerance, and re-verified per merge rather than assumed.
+
