When Devin upstream models return an explicit context overflow refusal formatted as a 400 parameter validation error, combo classification previously treated it as a terminal 400 error rather than advancing to a candidate model with a larger context window.
Fixes applied:
In src/lib/context-overflow-verdict.ts, expanded isDefiniteContextOverflow to detect structured parameter-validation error envelopes describing context length, prompt token count, and history overflow.
Guarded against false positives by ensuring non-context parameter errors (prompt_tokens, model capability flags without overflow markers) do not trigger failover.
Scoped negation evaluation to the overflow predicate rather than spanning earlier subject phrases, ensuring unrelated preceding negative clauses do not suppress affirmative overflow verdicts.
Added : to CLAUSE_BOUNDARY to correctly isolate independent clauses without leaking negation across colon delimiters.
Refined OVERFLOW_COUNT_EVIDENCE to require an actual over-limit count comparison or excess delta, ensuring limit-only notifications remain classified as non-overflow negative cases.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved context overflow detection to prevent unexpected failovers when responses describe context limits without an actual overflow.
More accurately handles negation and complex sentence structures in error messages to avoid misclassifying model refusals.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The context-overflow detector recognizes additional provider wording, rejects negated claims and parameter-validation messages, and reads supported string-valued error fields when no message-bearing object exists. Tests and documentation cover these rules.
Changes: Context-window overflow recognition
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Match context-limit messages and error fields src/lib/context-overflow-verdict.ts
The detector recognizes additional context-limit wording and ignores negated matches. It treats unsupported parameter as a validation marker. When an envelope has no message-bearing object, it checks supported string-valued error fields and rejects candidates when the root record or leaf owner indicates parameter validation.
Test and document overflow recognition tests/helpers/combo-context-overflow-cases.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/combos.md, structure/data-planes/error-detail.md, structure/runtime.md, structure/transports/responses-combo-boundaries.md
Tests cover additional refusal messages, raw and JSON error messages, negated claims, and validation-error echoes. Documentation describes the updated wording and supported message sources while retaining existing restrictions.

Add string-error cases to the detector test to cover the new fallback.
The fallback at src/lib/context-overflow-verdict.ts:130-133 reads a string-valued error field when the envelope has no message object. The detector assertions in tests/helpers/combo-context-overflow-cases.ts use raw strings or structured { error: { message } } envelopes. The combo cases use structured or bare text. Removing the fallback leaves these tests passing. Without the fallback, the first two assertions below return false and fail, so they detect the removal. The third assertion guards against a later change that accepts any string error before the parameter-validation checks run.

Skip blank error strings when choosing the overflow diagnostic.
The leaf selection stops at an empty error string, so a populated response.error is never read. For a body with "error": "" beside a context-limit message in response.error, the detector returns false and the combo does not hop. Filter out blank strings in the .find predicate so the later populated field is read.

Stop rejecting affirmed overflow verdicts when a negator precedes the verdict in the same match.
For The input is not malformed; the input exceeds the model's context limit., the position-verdict match starts at the first input and includes not. isNegatedAt rejects that match. matchAll then skips past the match and never retests the later exceeds verdict, so the combo stops instead of hopping.

Devin reports history overflow with a specific message:
"Devin rejected this turn and its history is at or past the model's
context window. Compact the conversation or start a new session."
The Devin adapter rewrites its opaque invalid_argument to a
context_length_exceeded event, but the combo failover classifier
checks isDefiniteContextOverflow(400, message) — which returned false
because this phrasing was not in the definite phrase list.
Add Devin's overflow message to DEFINITE_CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_PHRASES so
combo hops to the next target instead of stopping at the first model
with a full history window.
Add a regression test in the context-overflow fixture suite.
Recognize provider messages that report a history, conversation, input, or request as reaching or exceeding its model's context capacity. This makes heterogeneous combo failover work across provider-specific wording, rather than special-casing Devin's current sentence.
Keep the existing bounded innermost-message parsing and validation guards, and add regression coverage for generic phrasings and Devin's refusal. Update the combo guide and architecture notes.
Position verdicts previously allowed matching arbitrary characters between words,
permitting matches to cross clause boundaries (such as semicolons or periods)
where an earlier clause contained a negator for a different statement.
Restrict position verdict regexes to non-clause-boundary characters and add
regression coverage for multi-clause statements.
Three independent final reviews in a row found a new class of misreading in the generic overflow classifier, each one introduced or exposed by the previous fix, and two of them by maintainer commits on this branch:
86d92eb: negation leaked across a comma splice, so prose dev already classifies as an overflow ("The model could not respond, maximum context length exceeded") stopped the combo.
44cce60: making ,/( clause boundaries hid negators behind parenthetical insertions ("The input is not, per our checks, past the context window" became an overflow), and "full " matched capacity prose.
164c567 (current head): removing comma-paired insertions now also swallows the boundary after an unrelated negated clause, so 13 genuine overflows that dev matches ("The request could not be completed, because of its size, maximum context length exceeded") stop the combo; 503 capacity prose ending in "full, retry later" still reads as an overflow and skips the transient same-target retry; and "Context limit exceeded expectations" is a new false positive.
Each round fixed what it targeted, and the probe gains are real (Devin's "at or past the model's context window", "has already been exceeded", adverb forms). But this is a prose classifier on the combo failover path, where a false positive replays an invalid request on another target and a false negative stops a combo that should fail over, and isDefiniteContextOverflow also drives the dashboard's context_overflow condition. Another patch round would not give me evidence that the next phrasing is safe.
Suggested way to land the value: a much narrower change that leaves dev's existing phrase handling and negation logic byte-for-byte unchanged, and adds only anchored, subject-bound verdicts for the wording the issue reports (Devin's … history is at or past the model's context window, The conversation has exceeded this model's context limit), each with its exact negative twins. The probe sets from the three reviews (141 phrasings, against dev) should be committed as the regression matrix, so any later widening has to clear them.
…n regressions
isDefiniteContextOverflow now reads a positive verdict only from an
explicit overflow subject plus predicate. A negator is scoped to the
predicate's own clause, so a negation in an earlier clause no longer
cancels a later overflow report, and a full stop ends that reach.
Capacity and availability prose about the service ("the context window
is full, retry later", "shards exhausted") stays non-overflow and keeps
its target cooldown; "full", "exhausted" and "at its limit" are read
with the surrounding sentence for that framing. "(8192 tokens used)"
after "full" remains a verdict, and "exceeded expectations" does not.
The detector accepts the generic wording the combo needed: history at or
past the model's context window, conversation/input reached the model
context limit, prompt too long for the context window, a string-valued
error leaf, and "has (already) been exceeded". dev-era positives keep
their reach. A differential probe over 430 hostile phrasings against
origin/dev leaves only the intended new positives and the deliberate
negations changed, with no 401/403/429 gate leak.
Adds tests/lib/definite-overflow-verdict.test.ts and extends the combo
context-overflow helper matrix. Docs and structure notes describe the
clause-scoped negation and service-back-pressure rules.
The negation-aside fold matched 'ever' inside 'never', so 'The input never exceeded the context window' and 'must never exceed the context limit' read as overflow reports and hopped without a cooldown. Asides are now matched as whole words.
'KV cache for the context window is exhausted', 'exhausted on this GPU' and 'exhausted, retrying later' slipped past the capacity vocabulary and hopped with no cooldown. The ambiguous state predicates (full, exhausted, at its limit) now count only below 500, and the capacity framing covers inflections and serving-stack resources.
The wide capacity vocabulary also read the sentence after the verdict, so a 4xx overflow whose remedy named caching, retrying, memory or scale ('The context window is full. Remove older messages before retrying.') stopped instead of failing over. The wide vocabulary now applies only to the predicate's own clause; the remedy after a semicolon or in the next sentence is read with the narrow availability vocabulary.
'at its limit' with doubled or tab whitespace matched the verdict pattern but not the ambiguous-predicate set, so a 503 hopped with no cooldown. Also describe the clause/remedy split in the combos guide and runtime structure note.
I reviewed head 9072c0d558d7ef6622f354327256fbbd6c27305a: omar391's commits plus five maintainer commits, carried under the owner's rule that valuable PRs are finished in-house.
Value. A combo now fails over on generic context-window overflow wording instead of stopping at the first target that is too small. That covers "The conversation has exceeded this model's context limit.", Devin's "history is at or past the model's context window", "prompt is too long for … context window", and "beyond/reached/over the model context limit". A heterogeneous combo then reaches a target that can hold the turn. No other open PR covers this.
User-visible change. The intended behavior is documented in docs-site/.../guides/combos.md and structure/runtime.md. Overflow wording hops without a cooldown. Capacity or availability prose keeps the target cooldown. On a 5xx, the ambiguous state words "full", "exhausted" and "at its limit" never count as an overflow. Config, defaults and CLI output are unchanged. The dashboard condition comes from the same detector, so it agrees with the failover verdict.
No regression for existing users. Several review rounds found regressions in the contributor's regex heuristics, so the maintainer commits rebuilt the detector:
Every verdict now needs an overflow subject and a predicate.
Negation is read within the predicate's own clause. A negation in an earlier clause does not cancel an overflow reported later ("could not respond, maximum context length exceeded"), while "never exceeded" and "does not, in fact, exceed" stay negative. The aside ever no longer matches inside "never".
The ambiguous state predicates count only below 500. On a 4xx they still need a clause free of capacity framing, with a wide vocabulary that includes KV cache, GPU, replica and retrying. A trailing remedy ("Remove older messages before retrying") is read only for plain availability words. Whitespace inside the predicate is normalized.
Against dev, every verdict that flips from true to false is a deliberate negation fix: "does not exceed", "cannot exceed", and a limit-only "(8192)". I spot-checked 17 common vendor messages on dev and on this head, including the Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter and "too many tokens" shapes; all 17 give the same verdict on both. Max-tokens/output-limit and 413 body-size messages stay non-overflow, and 401/403/429 are never eligible.
Windows. No platform-specific code changed.
Evidence.
The final fresh review on this exact head (DeepSeek via hyds/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1m) returned PASS on all 32 required cases. The previous round (2250d56, PASS-WITH-NITS) checked a 1080-cell differential against dev. Its one medium finding, a whitespace bypass of the 5xx rule, is fixed here with a failing-first test.
My own local runs, each in an isolated home: the five overflow suites (definite-overflow-verdict, upstream-condition, router-combo-failover-classification, server-combo-failover-e2e, upstream-retry) pass 493 / 0 on this head; 45 related overflow, combo and retry files passed 2,217 / 0 on de6e2f9. Typecheck, structure:check and 361 docs tests are clean.
CI: the full run passed on 2250d56. From there, 9072c0d changes one line of code, adds tests and edits docs. Its Catalog async contracts run ended cancelled before running, so it is not a failure caused by this change.
Accepted residuals, all low. A 4xx overflow whose next sentence says "Retry with a shorter prompt" stays terminal; this errs safe and matches dev. A 4xx "full; the KV cache is saturated" counts as overflow; providers send back-pressure on 429/5xx.
NOT RUN: full bun run test, macOS and Windows lanes.

Reject schema-validation echoes before matching generic overflow
For a 400 leaf such as Invalid schema for response_format 'answer': {'message': 'The input is beyond the context limit'} is not of type 'array', the new position matcher returns true, whereas the parent detector returns false. Invalid schema is not covered by the validation markers, so the caller's quoted schema value becomes an overflow verdict and authorizes comboFailureDecision to hop rather than stop on the malformed request. Exclude schema-validation diagnostics or their reflected values before running the generalized matchers, and add this variation to the existing invalid-schema regression case.

Exclude conditional advice from affirmed overflow verdicts
A 400 leaf like Temperature must be between 0 and 2. If the prompt is too long for the context window, reduce it. is now accepted as a definite overflow. The new too-long matcher finds the conditional clause, and this guard checks negation but not hypothetical framing, so comboFailureDecision authorizes replaying an invalid-temperature request on another target even though the provider never reported an actual overflow. Reject conditional advice before affirming these new matches, as retryContextOverflowMessage already does for retry classification, and add a negative regression case.
