TLDR

Completes the #2772 follow-up to #2041/#2750: the Codex Responses WebSocket handshake now carries upstream's request-identity headers (hyphenated session-id, thread-id, x-client-request-id) in place of the underscore session_id, and the established stream gains a 300 s activity-resetting idle timeout that closes silent sockets and follows the existing partial-output-safe fallback boundary. All behavior validated against openai/codex@f21dc46.

Dive Deeper

Handshake metadata (AC 1–4). Upstream dropped the underscore header forms in openai/codex pull request 22193 ("_ is rejected by some proxies"), and sets x-client-request-id = thread id verbatim. LLxprt has no thread identity plumbed to the provider layer, so all three headers resolve to the same runtimeId that previously filled session_id (identity fallback chain unchanged: invocation.runtimeIdoptions.runtime?.runtimeId). Because the value is unchanged, connection reuse and identity-based reconnection behave exactly as before; only the wire names change. Authorization, ChatGPT-Account-ID, originator, custom, and OpenAI-Beta headers are preserved untouched. No User-Agent is synthesized: upstream sends one via vacant-only defaults, but nothing indicates the service requires it, and users can already set one through custom headers. The HTTP/SSE and image-backend paths keep their underscore session_id; aligning those is a separate follow-up.

Stream liveness (AC 5–7). The transport previously had no post-handshake stall detector, so a half-open socket could hang a turn indefinitely. RequestFrameSource now arms a 300 000 ms idle timer (upstream stream_idle_timeout_ms default, exported as STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS, injectable via streamIdleTimeoutMs, disabled at <= 0) that resets on every valid text frame and is cleared on terminal intake, failure, and detachment. Expiry fails the request with a StreamInterruptionError; the existing finally invalidates the socket so the next request reconnects, and streamOverWebSocketOrFallback falls back to HTTP only before the first yielded IContent — never replaying partial output. Undici does not surface ping/pong as message events, so control frames alone cannot reset the timer, matching upstream's pump semantics.

Tests (AC 8). Behavioral over the existing FakeSocket/SocketHarness conventions with real timers and small injected timeouts:

  • exact handshake headers at executor level (strict equality proves session_id is gone) and transport level, plus identity-absence when runtimeId does not resolve
  • idle expiry: StreamInterruptionError, socket closed by client, next request reconnects
  • reset-on-activity across an interval longer than the timeout
  • abort during the idle window preserves AbortError
  • terminal frame clears the timer and the socket stays reusable
  • pre-event idle takes the one-shot HTTP fallback (reported via onWebSocketFallback; the provider's existing 3-consecutive-failure sticky demotion is unchanged)
  • post-output idle rethrows without fallback (anti-replay)

Handshake-header transport tests live in their own file because the main transport test file sits at the 800-line lint ceiling.

Docs (AC 9). docs/providers/quick-reference.md gains a Codex section documenting the header contract, the 15 s handshake timeout, and the idle-timeout semantics. Decisions and upstream evidence are recorded in project-plans/issue2772/PLAN.md.

Non-goals respected: no sixty-minute recovery, no configurable WS selection (#2756), no multiplexing/pooling, no public connection-management abstraction, no realtime audio.

Reviewer Test Plan

  • Full providers suite: cd packages/providers && bun ../../scripts/run_bun_tests.ts --workspace providers
  • Optional live check with a Codex OAuth profile: run a turn and confirm the handshake carries the hyphenated headers (visible in debug logging); kill the network mid-stream and confirm the turn fails with a stream interruption rather than hanging.

Walkthrough

This PR changes 8 file(s).

  • packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.ts: Adds an established-stream idle timeout to the OpenAI Responses WebSocket transport, matching Codex client metadata. Introduces STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS (300s) and a new streamIdleTimeoutMs config option. Refactors RequestFrameSource to reset/clear an idle timer on message flow, terminal frames, detach, and failure; on expiry it fails the stream and notifies the transport to invalidate the socket. CodexResponsesWebSocketTransport now threads the timeout and invalidation callback through to the frame source.
  • packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesExecutor.websocket.test.ts: Adds a test suite for WebSocket handshake identity behavior. Verifies that executeOpenAIResponsesRequest sends Codex-specific headers including Authorization, X-Provider, ChatGPT-Account-ID, originator, session-id, thread-id, x-client-request-id, and OpenAI-Beta when runtime identity is present. Also verifies that session-id, thread-id, and x-client-request-id are omitted when no runtime identity resolves. Imports CODEX_WEBSOCKET_BETA_HEADER constant for header validation.
  • project-plans/issue2772/PLAN.md: Adds a new plan for issue Align Codex WebSocket connection metadata and idle timeout #2772 to align Codex WebSocket metadata and add stream idle timeout. Details upstream header parity (hyphenated session-id/thread-id/x-client-request-id mapped to runtimeId), a 300s idle timeout in RequestFrameSource with retry/fallback behavior, configuration options, and RED-first behavioral tests at transport/executor levels. Also documents User-Agent decisions, non-goals, and planned docs updates.
  • packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.handshakeHeaders.test.ts: New test file validating that Codex Responses WebSocket handshake headers are forwarded to the socket connector and that changing identity headers triggers reconnection of the transport.
  • packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesExecutor.ts: Updates WebSocket handshake header construction to align metadata naming: replaces session_id with session-id and adds thread-id and x-client-request-id, all populated from the runtime session id.
  • packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.idleTimeout.test.ts: New test suite covering WebSocket stream idle timeout behavior for the Codex Responses transport. Validates that silent streams are interrupted and sockets closed after the timeout, valid frames reset the timer, AbortError is preserved during the idle window, terminal frames clear the timeout for socket reuse, partial output does not trigger fallback, paused consumers still see socket closure, and pre-output idle timeouts fall back to HTTP once.
  • packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.test.ts: Removes the test case asserting every handshake header is forwarded to the WebSocket connector, likely because the transport metadata alignment changed how headers are passed or validated.
  • docs/providers/quick-reference.md: Adds a new 'OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT Plus/Pro)' section to the provider quick-reference docs. Documents the enable/select commands and details WebSocket transport behavior: the authorization and identity headers sent during handshake, the 15-second handshake timeout, the five-minute idle timeout that resets on each valid text frame, and the fallback to HTTP/SSE after repeated pre-output WebSocket failures or stream interruption after output has begun.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR aligns Codex WebSocket handshake identity headers with the current contract and adds configurable established-stream idle-timeout handling. It adds transport tests for header forwarding, socket replacement, timeout lifecycle, fallback, abort behavior, and partial-output handling. Documentation describes the behavior.

Changes

Codex WebSocket transport

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handshake identity metadata
packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesExecutor.ts, packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesExecutor.websocket.test.ts, packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.handshakeHeaders.test.ts, packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.test.ts, docs/providers/quick-reference.md
The handshake replaces session_id with session-id, thread-id, and x-client-request-id. Tests cover complete headers, absent runtime identity, and socket replacement after identity changes. Documentation records the header and timeout behavior.
Established-stream idle timeout
packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.ts
The transport adds a configurable timeout with a 300-second default. Non-terminal frames reset the timer. Terminal, detach, and failure paths clear it. Timeout expiration fails the stream with a WebSocket interruption error and invalidates the live socket.
Idle timeout behavior validation
packages/providers/src/openai-responses/openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.idleTimeout.test.ts
Tests cover silent streams, timer resets, abort preservation, terminal cleanup, reconnection, partial-output handling, and pre-event HTTP fallback.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1715f

The PR adds a 300-second idle timeout for Codex WebSocket streams, but a caller paused after partial output could leave the transport’s request slot held even after the socket closes, blocking later requests. Merge readiness requires confirming independent request-slot release or explicitly accepting this bounded availability risk.

A consumer suspended at a yield holds the generator's finally block (and
therefore socket invalidation) hostage until its next read. Recording only
the stream-interruption failure left the stalled socket open and active,
diverging from the upstream Codex client, which drops the socket on idle
expiry. Pass an invalidation callback into RequestFrameSource and invoke it
from the idle-timer callback, guarded by the same settled predicate as
fail(), so a late firing cannot invalidate an already-settled request.

Also narrows the documented reset rule to valid text frames: malformed and
non-text frames fail the stream rather than reset the timer.

@coderabbitai response to both open findings:

1. docs/providers/quick-reference.md — "each incoming frame" overstates the reset rule: Valid. The implementation resets the timer only on valid text frames; malformed JSON and non-text frames fail the stream instead. Fixed in 1715f0d — the sentence now reads "resets on each valid text frame."

2. openAIResponsesWebSocketTransport.ts — socket stays open when the consumer pauses after partial output: Valid. With the generator suspended at yield message, its finally (and the invalidation it performs) cannot run until the consumer's next read, so the idle-timeout path recorded the failure but left the socket open and active — diverging from upstream Codex, which drops the socket on idle expiry. Fixed in 1715f0d by passing an invalidation callback into RequestFrameSource and invoking it from the idle-timer callback after fail(). The invocation is guarded by the same settled predicate fail() uses (ended/receivedTerminal/failure), so a late firing cannot invalidate an already-settled request, and the recorded failure (abort, server close, malformed frame) still propagates unchanged. Added the requested behavioral test: "closes the socket on idle expiry while the consumer is paused after partial output" — it parks the iterator after one yielded delta, asserts closedByClient === true before any further read, then asserts the resumed read rejects with the idle-timeout StreamInterruptionError.

Verified: the six idle-timeout tests (now seven) plus the full WebSocket transport/executor focused set pass (57/57), providers tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean, prettier clean.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@acoliver Thanks for the detailed follow-up. The documentation now matches the valid-text-frame reset contract. The idle-timeout path now invalidates a paused partial-output socket without changing established failure propagation. The added behavioral test covers the reported generator suspension case.

Analysis of both inline findings on the idle-timer callback (same line, same scenario — one reply covers both):

The reported race is real but is the timeout's specified behavior, and matches upstream. The scenario requires a terminal frame to land in the single event-loop dispatch tick between the idle deadline elapsing and the timer callback running — the tail end of a 300 s window in production. When the deadline elapses first, the stream has exceeded its idle budget, and failing it is what a bounded idle timeout means. Upstream Codex (codex-rs/codex-api/src/endpoint/responses_websocket.rs, pinned f21dc46) wraps every wait in tokio::time::timeout(idle_timeout, ws_stream.next()), which has the same expiry-wins race: if the timer fires first, idle timeout waiting for websocket errors even if a frame was ready a tick later. Parity with that client is this PR's stated goal.

The thread 1 suggestion is behaviorally identical to the shipped code. fail() already returns early on the same predicate (receivedTerminal || failure), and onIdleTimeout() is already gated on the precomputed settled. Reordering to an early return executes the same operations with the same outcomes in every reachable state. Critically, it also does not fix the reported scenario: when the timer callback runs before the queued terminal message handler, settled is false at that moment (the terminal has not been processed yet), so fail() records either way. It only affects the reverse ordering — message dispatched before the timer callback — which both the current code and fail()'s internal guard already handle correctly (the terminal is honored; no failure is recorded; the socket is not invalidated).

The thread 2 suggestion (defer via a 0-timeout recheck) trades a microscopic window for a new layer of state. It requires epoch tracking to be correct: a valid non-terminal frame arriving during the deferred tick calls resetIdleTimer() and arms a fresh timer, after which the deferred recheck would still fail the now-active stream unless it distinguishes pre-expiry from post-expiry activity. That is a divergent-from-upstream deferral mechanism with its own races, guarding a one-tick window at the end of a five-minute period. Pre-output, the resulting StreamInterruptionError already self-heals through the one-shot HTTP fallback; post-output, surfacing the interruption (rather than swallowing it) is the required anti-replay boundary.

Classification: Reject for both. The shipped semantics are the intended ones — an expired idle window fails the stream, exactly as in the pinned upstream client — and both proposed changes either leave the reported scenario untouched or add complexity that diverges from the client we are matching.

PR #2750 matched LLxprt's existing Codex HTTP headers on the WebSocket
handshake and bounded the connect phase. Upstream Codex additionally
sends request-identity headers and enforces an idle timeout on the
established stream, both validated against openai/codex@f21dc46.

Handshake metadata: upstream dropped the underscore forms in #22193
("some proxies reject `_`"), so the handshake now sends hyphenated
`session-id`, `thread-id`, and `x-client-request-id` in place of
`session_id`. LLxprt has no separate thread identity plumbed to the
provider layer, and upstream sets `x-client-request-id` = thread id
verbatim, so all three resolve to the same runtimeId that previously
filled `session_id`. The value is unchanged, so connection reuse and
identity-based reconnection behave exactly as before; only the wire
names change. Authorization, ChatGPT-Account-ID, originator, custom,
and OpenAI-Beta headers are preserved untouched. No User-Agent is
synthesized: upstream sends one via vacant-only defaults, but nothing
indicates the service requires it, and users can already set it through
custom headers. The HTTP/SSE and image-backend paths keep their
underscore forms; aligning those is a separate follow-up.

Stream liveness: the transport previously had no post-handshake stall
detector, so a half-open socket could hang a turn forever. The frame
source now arms a 300000 ms idle timer (upstream's
`stream_idle_timeout_ms` default, injectable via `streamIdleTimeoutMs`,
disabled at <= 0) that resets on every valid text frame and is cleared
on terminal intake, failure, and detachment. Expiry fails the request
with a StreamInterruptionError; the existing finally-block invalidates
the socket so the next request reconnects, and the existing
streamOverWebSocketOrFallback boundary falls back to HTTP only before
the first yielded IContent, never replaying partial output. Undici does
not surface ping/pong as message events, so control frames alone cannot
reset the timer, matching upstream's pump semantics.

Tests are behavioral over the FakeSocket harness: exact handshake
headers at both executor and transport level, identity-absence when
runtimeId does not resolve, idle expiry closing the socket and
reconnecting, reset-on-activity, abort-outcome preservation, terminal
cleanup with socket reuse, and the pre-event fallback vs post-output
rethrow boundary. Handshake-header transport tests live in their own
file because the main transport test file sits at the 800-line lint
ceiling.

Docs: quick-reference gains a Codex WebSocket transport section covering
the header contract and both timeouts. Decisions and upstream evidence
are recorded in project-plans/issue2772/PLAN.md.

Verification: focused suites, the full providers suite (582/582), the
full monorepo test run (one unrelated contention flake re-verified green
in isolation), lint, typecheck, format, and build all pass. The startup
smoke test reaches the provider but the stepfun-37 account currently
returns "no active step plan subscription", which is external to this
change.
A consumer suspended at a yield holds the generator's finally block (and
therefore socket invalidation) hostage until its next read. Recording only
the stream-interruption failure left the stalled socket open and active,
diverging from the upstream Codex client, which drops the socket on idle
expiry. Pass an invalidation callback into RequestFrameSource and invoke it
from the idle-timer callback, guarded by the same settled predicate as
fail(), so a late firing cannot invalidate an already-settled request.

Also narrows the documented reset rule to valid text frames: malformed and
non-text frames fail the stream rather than reset the timer.
