Conversation
The Codex backend drops any WS message of 16 MiB or more, and lidge-jun#2473 keeps such turns off the WS transport — but the rerouted body still goes upstream over HTTP, where the same unpublished ceiling eventually answers with an opaque upstream failure the user cannot act on. The measured failure point sits around 16.7 MB; the default limit here is 15 MiB so transport overhead does not round the observed threshold up into the unsafe range. `maxUpstreamBodyBytes` (top-level config, default 15 MiB, 0 disables) measures the serialized native Responses passthrough body before any send and answers a local `413 outbound_body_too_large` instead. The refusal is diagnostic, not just a wall: when the parsed body carries `input_image` items, the error reports how many and roughly how many decoded megabytes of embedded image data they represent — accumulated replayed images are the common cause — and says what actually clears the state: start a new session or compact the conversation. The guard runs at every point a body is (re)built: the initial build, the undeclared-tool-guard rebuild, the rebuild-and-refetch lane, and the Codex pool alternate-account retry. A refusal releases what the fetch path would have owned — the translator-budget body observation, the upstream host admission lease, and the auth-context probe lease (idempotent, so overlapping release on the retry lane is harmless) — and stamps `errorCode` on the request log so finalization does not re-infer a cause from the synthetic 413. Unit coverage pins byte-accurate UTF-8 measurement, the exact boundary, the data-URI size approximation, degradation on malformed/unparseable bodies, and the disabled path short-circuiting before measurement. Integration coverage pins the local 413 with zero upstream fetches and exactly one observation release, the admitted path, and the 0-disables path.

Requesting changes on exact head 0b867b0.
The byte measurement, local 413 shape, body-observation release, and bounded diagnostics are useful, but the implementation currently widens the policy beyond the contract stated by the PR and docs. refuseOversizedOutboundBody is installed in the generic fetch-based adapter path and has no activeAdapter.passthrough or equivalent transport gate. It therefore applies the new default 15 MiB ceiling not only to native Responses passthrough, but also to fetch-based OpenAI Chat, Anthropic, Google, and other adapters that reach this section. Large image-bearing requests to those providers can become locally rejected even though the PR claims they are unchanged and the measured upstream ceiling belongs to the native Codex Responses backend.
Keep this default-on limit scoped to the transport for which the ceiling was measured. The initial, undeclared-tool rebuild, rebuild/refetch, and alternate-account retry checks must each use the adapter associated with that built request and refuse only native Responses passthrough. Add a negative integration regression where an oversized non-passthrough test-http body still reaches its upstream, alongside the existing passthrough refusal test. If the intended product policy is instead a global all-provider body cap, that needs an explicit opt-in/default decision, adapter-specific evidence, and matching docs rather than inheriting the Codex limit implicitly.
This head is also based on b14b741 and is four commits behind current dev despite the current base pointer. Rebase onto current dev after the scope fix and run exact-head required CI. No security scan or broader refactor is requested.

One additional current-head blocker is confirmed from the incremental bot review. In retryCodexPoolOnAlternateAccount, a reset-derived first outcome may be deferred, so recordFirstOutcome() has not consumed/released firstAuthCtx. If the newly built alternate request is oversized, refuseOversizedOutboundBody(request, retryAuthCtx) releases the retry context and clears the host admission lease, then the new kind: "failed" return exits. The surrounding passthrough finally sees no host lease and does not release authCtx, leaving the deferred first-account probe lease outstanding. Release firstAuthCtx on this refusal path only when deferFirstOutcome is true (the non-deferred path already records the outcome), and add a regression that observes both account leases.
I am not independently requiring a raw-body rejection before the vision sidecar. This guard claims to measure the final serialized provider body, and a legitimate sidecar can replace images with bounded text before that body exists; rejecting the pre-transform input would change that contract. Instead, keep the final-body check and make any “zero upstream sends” wording precise about the main provider unless the product explicitly chooses to forbid sidecar work too. The config JSDoc should likewise say the limit is passthrough-only once the primary scope blocker is fixed. The extra unused argument in the helper unit test is cleanup, not a release blocker.
Three review findings, each verified against the code before changing it. The retry-lane refusal skipped recordFirstOutcome() when the first outcome was deferred, and recording is what would have surrendered the first account's probe lease — so a refusal on the alternate-account rebuild left the first account reserved after the logical request ended. The refusal now releases that lease directly (idempotent by lease id) instead of inventing an outcome for a send that never happened. The maxUpstreamBodyBytes doc comment claimed "any outbound provider request"; the guard covers the native Responses passthrough only, and the type comment now says so, so translated-adapter consumers do not expect refusals there. The describeOutboundBodyRefusal test still passed a second argument left over from the dropped modelId parameter — invisible to `bun run typecheck`, whose include is src-only. Removed. Not changed: the vision sidecar still runs before the guard. Pre-sidecar refusal on inbound size would be unsound — description exists to shrink the body by replacing image data with text, so an inbound-oversized request can be outbound-fitting. The sound variant (refuse when non-image bytes alone exceed the limit) buys a narrow saving at the cost of a second, approximate measurement contract; left out deliberately.

Re-reviewing exact head df94500b6b21b31e2663a0efcee3baff3f45322b.
The deferred-first-account lease blocker is fixed correctly. On an alternate-account local refusal, the retry context is released by the refusal helper and the deferred first context is now released explicitly; the non-deferred path still settles it through the recorded outcome.
One correction to my previous review: saying the guard reached generic translated Chat/Anthropic/Google adapters was too broad. The helper is created inside the adapter.passthrough branch, so translated runTurn/runStream paths do not reach it.
A narrower default-scope blocker remains. passthrough is not synonymous with the measured ChatGPT Codex backend: Azure and custom/key-auth OpenAI Responses adapters also use passthrough. The current config.maxUpstreamBodyBytes ?? 15 MiB therefore applies the ChatGPT-derived default ceiling to those destinations without evidence that they share it. A custom Responses gateway or Azure deployment that accepts a larger image-bearing body is newly rejected locally even though the PR rationale and #2473 relationship are specific to the canonical backend.
Make the implicit 15 MiB default apply only to the canonical OpenAI forward Responses destination. Noncanonical passthrough providers should remain unchanged when the setting is omitted, while an explicitly configured maxUpstreamBodyBytes may opt them into the guard. Add regressions proving:
- canonical forward passthrough with the setting omitted uses the 15 MiB default;
- key-auth/custom or Azure passthrough with the setting omitted does not inherit that default;
- an explicit nonzero setting still enforces the chosen cap on noncanonical passthrough.
Update the docs/JSDoc to state that exact default/opt-in split. Hold hosted CI until this current-head blocker is fixed; no broader adapter redesign is requested.

…dies Reimplements #3142 (thanks @olddonkey) with the guard off by default, and adds the rebuild site and refusal shape that version was missing. The measurement, local refusal, image diagnostics, body-observation release and probe-lease handling are that PR's work and are kept. Why default-off rather than the 15 MiB default: the only measured ceiling in this codebase belongs to the WebSocket transport, and the comment recording it says the same body still succeeds over HTTP SSE. #2473 acts on that by falling back to HTTP rather than refusing, and #2426 records an 18.2 MB HTTP 200. A 15 MiB default would therefore refuse turns that work today - on canonical ChatGPT as well as on Azure and custom Responses gateways whose limits were never measured at all. An unset proxy now measures nothing and sends exactly what it sends today. Two fixes beyond the original: - The stored/main pool 401 replay rebuilds its body and sent it unchecked. It is now guarded like every other build site; a replay is precisely when a grown payload reappears. - A streaming refusal returns terminal response.failed / context_length_exceeded instead of a JSON 413. Codex treats HTTP 413 as a retryable transport error and resends the same oversized body, which is the loop this feature exists to stop. That is the contract the upstream-413 path already uses (#3177). RequestLogContext gains a proxy-owned errorCode so a locally refused request is named as such instead of being classified from a status with no upstream message behind it. Refs #3142. Related to #2511, which asks for per-provider downscaling and pruning and is deliberately not implemented here.

maxUpstreamBodyBytes(top-level config, default 15 MiB,0disables): the native Responses passthrough measures its serialized outbound body before any send and answers a local413 outbound_body_too_largeinstead of letting the request die upstream.Why, and the relationship to #2473
The Codex backend drops any WS message of 16 MiB or more. #2473 keeps such turns off the WS transport — but the rerouted body still goes upstream over HTTP, where the same unpublished ceiling (measured ~16.7 MB) eventually answers with an opaque upstream failure the user cannot act on.

The refusal is diagnostic, not just a wall. When the parsed body carries

At every point a body is (re)built: the initial build, the undeclared-tool-guard rebuild, the rebuild-and-refetch lane, and the Codex pool alternate-account retry. A refusal releases what the fetch path would have owned — the translator-budget body observation, the upstream host admission lease, and the auth-context probe lease (release is idempotent by lease id, so the overlapping release on the retry lane is harmless) — and stamps
