Summary

Verification

  • bun x tsc --noEmit: pass
  • bun test tests/claude-integration/messages-native-combo.test.ts: 3 pass (OAuth child succeeds natively; 429 and 500 fail over to a second candidate with a fresh body copy)
  • bun test tests/responses/messages-native-eligibility.test.ts tests/responses/protocol-plan-snapshot.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/responses/chat-native-combo.test.ts tests/server/server-combo-zero-output-failover.test.ts tests/claude-integration/messages-native-key-selection.test.ts: pass
  • bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan: pass
  • tests/claude-integration/claude-native-passthrough.test.ts fails 63/72 on Windows here with EBUSY on temp-dir cleanup; clean upstream/dev fails 64/73 the same way in this environment, so I treat it as environmental and leave it to Linux CI.
  • After review fixes and merging current dev (head 3b560bb77): bun run typecheck passes; the PR's 4 test files pass (34 pass, 0 fail), including a new case that judging candidates charges no request copy.
  • Deferred, replied on the threads: projecting ocxr1 thinking blocks before a combo native Messages send (needs the translator budget threaded into the combo source), and pre-output preflight for native Messages combo children (the gap already listed in the summary).
  • Full suite not run locally.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed (structure/data-planes/protocol-paths.md).
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Managed native Messages requests can now run through eligible failover combos, including OAuth and API-key routes. Failed attempts can fall back while preserving the original request, and streaming responses remain supported.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Native eligibility is now evaluated for each combo route, so incompatible routes can continue using translated handling. Requests with effort settings that are not supported by native Messages handling continue through the bridge.
    • Combo stream preflight no longer runs for responses already using a client-facing protocol wire.

Walkthrough

Eligible Anthropic candidates in Messages failover combos can use native Messages execution. The planner reports candidate-level eligibility, combo dispatch carries shared execution and logging state, and integration tests cover OAuth success and fallback after 429 and 500 responses.

Changes: Native Messages combo execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plan native eligibility for combo candidates
src/protocols/plan-snapshot.ts, tests/responses/messages-native-eligibility.test.ts, tests/responses/protocol-plan-snapshot.test.ts, structure/data-planes/protocol-paths.md
The planner evaluates concrete Messages combo candidates when managed Messages-native rollout is enabled. Tests check Anthropic native eligibility, cross-wire declines, and rollout-switch behavior.
Adapt native Messages execution for combo children
src/protocols/envelope.ts, tests/responses/protocol-envelope.test.ts, src/server/messages-native.ts
ProtocolEnvelope.peekBody() returns the source body without a copy or translator-budget charge. runNativeMessagesAttempt accepts a supplied inference attempt and execution data. createNativeMessagesComboSource forwards child callbacks, budgets, and dispatch permits.
Dispatch native children by inbound protocol
src/server/responses/core-combo-native.ts, src/server/responses/core-combo.ts
The combo runner handles Chat and Messages ingress with protocol-specific eligibility, response paths, and refusal responses. Preflight now excludes responses with any client wire.
Wire Messages requests to combo replay
src/server/claude-messages.ts, tests/claude-integration/messages-native-combo.test.ts, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, scripts/test-layout/layout-replay.json
The Claude Messages handler supplies a native combo source for eligible settled routes and returns Messages-wire responses directly. Integration tests cover OAuth success and API-key fallback after OAuth 429 and 500 responses.

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

Changes requested for d79c529abc9fa2f9f82b6e5d165aadfac3750ee9.

src/server/responses/core-combo-native.ts:168 calls isNativeMessagesRouteEligible(route, body, config) without the request selector. nativeMessagesDeclineReason uses selector.routeSelector in resolvePinnedEffort; the standalone Messages path supplies that request fact. A request-selector effort pin can therefore require the bridge on the standalone path while the new combo child is allowed to go native and bypass the pin. The current ComboProtocolSource carries no selector. Please propagate the applicable request facts through the source and the child eligibility check, and cover a selector-pinned combo request with a no-native-send control. This is the still-open existing thread, independently checked against this head; it affects the new dispatch path and should be addressed before landing rather than deferred as an unrelated follow-up.

The fast-row and JEV/default-effort bridge guards are present in the latest code. The predicate currently does not read oauthFailoverQuorum, so I am not asking you to add an invented quorum requirement based on the earlier example.

Your coordination with #7374 is useful: keep the overlap visible and let its author/owner choose whether the noncanonical key-auth endpoint extension should be stacked or folded in. No need to close or transfer the branch merely because both exist. This review is source/contract evidence, not native-provider validation, a scan or approval of the broader protocol delta.

@Ingwannu
Ingwannu dismissed their stale review October 31, 2026 08:40

Selector propagation requested by this review is addressed in 4d234d7. The incremental four-file diff forwards the standalone nativeSelector through the combo source to eligibility and adds a selector-pin bridge regression. This withdraws only my specific selector blocker; current-head CI, author readiness and broader native protocol/boundary review remain independent, with no approval or merge implied.

The selector blocker in my previous review is addressed by 4d234d751080e16ed6af41a628d1320ee8f250cf: the four-file incremental diff forwards the original nativeSelector through createNativeMessagesComboSource/ComboProtocolSource into isNativeMessagesRouteEligible, and adds a request-selector pin regression. I have dismissed my specific changes-request review so it does not remain a stale maintainer blocker.

This is independent source comparison of the correction. I have not locally executed the new regression or completed the wider native Messages combo/third-party endpoint review. Keep current-head CI, unresolved bot-thread dispositions and author readiness explicit; dismissal is not an approval, merge, scan or broader protocol acceptance.

Follow-up Comments

Minor follow-up Combo native eligibility is established after the translation fallback records nativeProjectionOnly…

921-925: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Combo native eligibility is established after the translation fallback records nativeProjectionOnlyError, but the later refusal checks only nativeMessagesRoute, not an eligible native combo child. An error that standalone native routing can resolve by projection may still reject the combo.

The handler returns a local 400 before the native combo can dispatch.

This can occur when: Translation encounters the specifically handled malformed ocxr1 reasoning signature, and projection yields a body suitable for an eligible native combo target.

Review comment at @src/server/claude-messages.ts around lines 921 - 925:
Update the refusal check in the handler that records or handles
nativeProjectionOnlyError so it recognizes an eligible native combo child, using
the nativeMessagesCombo eligibility logic near createProtocolEnvelope rather
than checking only nativeMessagesRoute. Preserve the existing 400 behavior when
neither standalone native routing nor an eligible native combo can resolve the
projection error.
Nitpick Assert that the effort-pin test records at least one attempt before checking routing.

340-340: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert that the effort-pin test records at least one attempt before checking routing.

The every check on line 340 passes when attempts is empty. Line 339 converts a missing protocolTrace or attempts field into [], so the test does not confirm that the combo child used the bridge. A native attempt still fails the existing check. Only a missing or empty attempt record passes silently.

The bridge child path records an attempt before it dispatches, and that attempt reaches the logged trace. A length assertion therefore holds on the path this test covers.

🧪 Suggested fix
-    expect(attempts.every(attempt => attempt.mode !== "native")).toBe(true);
+    expect(attempts.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+    expect(attempts.every(attempt => attempt.mode !== "native")).toBe(true);

Judge Messages candidates before charging a request copy.

nativeChild charges a request_copies copy for each picked Anthropic candidate before eligibility is checked. The copy is never released. A large request with several failovers can exhaust the turn budget. The combo then throws translation_buffer_limit and does not try the remaining targets. In nativeBody, check eligibility on envelope.peekBody() before calling envelope.freshBody(). In nativeChild, check the Messages effort policy before any copy.

Suggested fix

Keep Messages bodies with ocxr1 thinking signatures off the native combo path.

Native combo Messages children send envelope.freshBody() without nativeAnthropicProjection. Standalone native Messages projects its body. For a first-party Anthropic child, an assistant thinking block with an ocxr1: signature reaches upstream unchanged. Upstream rejects that signature with HTTP 400.

Projection does not fix every shape. It removes the block only when the envelope is nat-only. For envelopes that keep red, krc, or non-empty txt, and for envelopes without nat, projection still emits an ocxr1: signature. Those bodies must stay on the bridge. Apply the same check where native eligibility is judged and where the body is dispatched, so the two decisions agree.

Suggested fix
+import { OCX_REASONING_PREFIX } from "../../responses/reasoning-envelope";
+function carriesOcxReasoning(body: { messages?: unknown }): boolean {
+  if (!Array.isArray(body.messages)) return false;
+  return body.messages.some((message: any) => Array.isArray(message?.content)
+    && message.content.some((block: any) => block?.type === "thinking"
+      && typeof block.signature === "string" && block.signature.startsWith(OCX_REASONING_PREFIX)));
+}
       const body = envelope.freshBody();
+      if (carriesOcxReasoning(envelope.peekBody())) return undefined;
       const body = envelope.freshBody();
       body.model = selector(target);
       return isNativeMessagesRouteEligible(route, body, config, source.selector) ? body : undefined;

The judge's native eligibility for Messages children needs the same carriesOcxReasoning(envelope.peekBody()) guard. Use the file's existing record guard if one is available in this module, in place of the any annotations.

Keep Messages bodies containing an assistant thinking block with an `ocxr1:`
signature off the native combo path. Check the original envelope body before
dispatching the body created by `envelope.freshBody()`, and apply the same check
where `isNativeMessagesRouteEligible` determines native eligibility so both
decisions agree; otherwise route the request through the bridge.

Judge Messages combo candidates with the same effort gating as nativeChild().

With unrepresentable: "reject", judge() admits a Messages candidate on the native path. When combo effort policy applies, nativeChild() falls back to the bridge, and no later check runs. The bridge drops top_k, so the request succeeds without it instead of returning 400.

Apply the same effort condition in judge() so that these candidates are checked on the bridge path. Until then, a first-dispatch JEV decision still reaches the same fallback, and judge() cannot see it.

Update the native-path selection in `judge()` to apply the same combo effort
condition as `nativeChild()`, so affected Messages candidates are checked
through the bridge path by `checkRepresentable`. Preserve the existing reject
behavior so unrepresentable requests return 400 rather than proceeding without
`top_k`.

Re-review of the delta since my last review (4d234d751080 -> 3b560bb7758b). Apart from the two dev merges, the PR-owned change is exactly 3b560bb775: ProtocolEnvelope.peekBody(), nativeEligible() in judge(), and the client-facing label passed to the combo source. The label change matches what the standalone native path already passes as requestedModel (claude-messages.ts:1147), and isNativeMessagesRouteEligible does not mutate the shallow view, so those parts look correct.

Two findings on this head are still open. I checked both against the code and both are valid. They are in the new Messages combo path, so they should be fixed here, not in a follow-up:

  1. nativeChild still charges a copy that is never released (src/server/responses/core-combo-native.ts:253 -> nativeBody :169; open bot thread at :171). The peekBody() change only covers judge(). At dispatch, nativeBody() still calls envelope.freshBody() before it checks isNativeMessagesRouteEligible. That charges request_copies against the 32 MiB turn budget, and nothing releases the charge when the candidate turns out ineligible. The effort guard at :259-261 runs after nativeBody(). So when a combo has defaultEffort set, or the first dispatch carries a JEV decision, every picked Anthropic child pays for one full body copy and then goes to the bridge anyway. A large Claude Code request that fails over a few times can then hit translation_buffer_limit before the remaining targets are tried. Requested fix: run the effort guard before any copy, and in nativeBody() judge the Messages candidate on peekBody() first, then call freshBody() only for a child that will really send. Please add a test that puts the budget near its cap and shows a failover across ineligible or effort-policy Anthropic candidates still reaches the next target.

  2. judge() and nativeChild() disagree about the lane (:203 vs :259-261; open bot thread at :207). With protocols.unrepresentable: "reject", judge() checks representability on the native lane for an eligible Anthropic candidate. nativeChild() then sends the same candidate through the bridge whenever comboDefaultEffort(config, comboId) != null. Nothing checks again after that (core-combo.ts:1179 dispatches directly). request.top_k cannot be represented on messages>responses/messages>chat (src/protocols/features.ts:104). So a top_k request to such a combo succeeds with top_k silently dropped, when it should get the 400 refusal. Requested fix: apply the static part of the condition (comboDefaultEffort != null) in judge(), so those candidates are checked on the bridge path. For the first-dispatch JEV case, which judge() cannot see, either re-check at dispatch or document why it is acceptable. Please add a reject-policy test with top_k and a combo defaultEffort that expects the 400 and no upstream send.

Other state, all for the author:

  • The branch conflicts with current dev (aaa3c20f3f) in src/server/messages-native.ts. Please resolve it and recheck the PR-owned diff after the merge.
  • The current head has no ci workflow run, only gates and CodeRabbit. A maintainer has to start CI after the next push, so readiness cannot be shown yet.
  • The deferred ocxr1 projection and the pre-output preflight (overlap with #7374) are described as gaps. I am not asking for them in this PR.

This is a static source review against aaa3c20f3f. I did not run the tests locally.

I carried the remaining compatible key-auth native Messages combo behavior into #8488 on current dev. The carry preserves Andrew Wang’s co-author credit. #7374 already landed the first-party combo foundation; the carry keeps the current strict-failover and OAuth boundaries. I will close this PR only after the carry has merged.
