Summary

Mistral's strict Chat schema rejects native caller fields such as max_completion_tokens, user and store:false with HTTP 422. Its native typed thinking/text arrays also reach OpenAI-compatible clients as arrays, producing literal [object Object] output.

  • Share a declarative wire policy across native and translated Chat, gated by the existing isCanonicalMistralChat predicate. Rename max_completion_tokens to max_tokens without replacing an explicit non-null limit; omit user, store, thinking, include_reasoning, reasoning and top_k.
  • Default the Mistral registry to fold developer messages to system, retaining an explicit operator override. Native effort now follows the existing model ladder and at-or-below policy: unsupported DeepSeek/GLM medium becomes low; supported values remain.
  • Reuse chatContentEvents to normalize native SSE deltas and JSON messages into string content plus reasoning_content. Cover all four upstream/caller streaming combinations, malformed content, tool/choice preservation and usage accounting even on content rejection.
  • Retain at most eight distinct recognized validation field/type pairs in operator failure details, including translated single-target combos. Revalidate on live projection, usage persistence/hydration and dashboard rendering. Unknown locations, messages, inputs and contexts are discarded; client-facing error policy stays unchanged.

Research before implementation: the official Mistral Chat API reference documents max_tokens and the system/user/assistant/tool message union. Its generic schema includes medium and top_k; the reporter's model-specific probes on 2026-11-07 rejected those for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. This change retains the shipped model-specific ladders and uses the reported strict-field refusals, rather than assuming every generic-schema option works for every hosted model. No authenticated live-provider probe was performed during this implementation.

Dashboard screenshot uses an isolated temporary configuration and a synthetic validation row:

Logs show recognized validation fields without upstream prompt or secret text

Verification

  • bun test tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-mistral-policy.test.ts tests/usage/request-log-error-detail.test.ts tests/server/upstream-error-detail-boundaries.test.ts — 68 pass, 0 fail after the CodeRabbit follow-up. The original five-file targeted run passed 77 tests on ba3cb05, before these additional cases.
  • (cd gui && bun test tests/logs-failure-detail.test.ts) — 3 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun run typecheck and (cd gui && bun x tsc -b) — passed.
  • bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check, git diff --cached --check — passed. The capped Chat adapter remains 822/822 lines.
  • Verified failing regressions before the fixes for rejected fields/default role/native effort, native object rendering, diagnostic retention, and invalid-content usage loss. Independent review identified usage loss and the translated-combo early-return gap; both were fixed and covered by focused tests. Review found no concrete prompt/secret leak in the closed diagnostic projection.
  • Browser smoke: real Logs detail dialog renders the bounded field/type pairs, using Vite and an isolated proxy on ephemeral ports. Both preview processes were stopped. The user's live configuration and running ocx were not changed.
  • NOT RUN: full local suite, test:changed, full GUI suite, GUI/docs production builds, authenticated Mistral probes, macOS/Windows CI. The requested local scope was targeted tests and typechecks. ci:full requests hosted Ubuntu coverage because the test-layout JSON changes are read as data. No manual cross-platform workflow dispatch and no merge.

CodeRabbit review disposition (follow-up):

  • Null token limit: fixed; max_tokens: null is unset, while a numeric value, including zero, remains authoritative.
  • Nested locations: fixed; known nested paths are retained as closed tokens, and unknown descendants use a closed root plus .*, never the upstream key.
  • Upstream error type: fixed; preserve only an allowlisted upstream type and omit unknown or absent types.
  • Bodies above 64 KiB: declined. BOUNDED_BODY_MAX_BYTES is the existing error-body retention ceiling, not only a display limit. The reader discards over-limit data. Retaining/parsing a larger body here would expand that boundary; parsing a prefix cannot establish a complete validation envelope. Both native and translated error paths deliberately remain status-only above that cap. A focused integration test now documents this limit.
  • The docstring-coverage notice is informational; public helpers have contract comments. No broad comment-only test/helper rewrite was added to satisfy a percentage metric.

The original ba3cb05 head passed the hosted Ubuntu shards, aggregate CI, docs build and gates. Follow-up head CI must complete independently; older-head results are not its verification.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Mistral Chat requests now map completion-token limits correctly, omit unsupported parameters, and apply reasoning-effort levels supported by the selected model.
    • Mistral responses present text and reasoning separately as strings for streaming and non-streaming requests.
    • Logs can show a bounded set of recognized validation fields and error types without retaining upstream free text.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Developer messages are handled as system messages for Mistral Chat.
    • Unsupported Mistral content blocks return an error without exposing their text.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on Mistral Chat request and response behavior.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Mistral Chat request and native response normalization. It also captures bounded, structured schema-validation details in provider failure logs and displays recognized field and type pairs in the dashboard.

Changes: Mistral Chat wire normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mistral request policy and coverage
src/adapters/openai-chat.ts, src/adapters/openai-chat/destination-policy.ts, src/adapters/openai-chat/passthrough.ts, src/providers/registry/entries-extended.ts, tests/adapters/openai/*, tests/providers/mistral-reasoning-efforts.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.md, structure/providers/*, structure/adapters/registry.md, structure/INDEX.md, structure/manifest.json, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
The Chat adapters apply Mistral-specific token mapping, field removal, developer-role folding, and reasoning-effort resolution. Tests cover policy scope, overrides, and effort ladders. Documentation describes the policy and its related image-limit behavior.
Native response normalization
src/adapters/openai-chat/native-content.ts, src/server/chat-native.ts, src/server/chat-native-sse.ts, tests/responses/chat-native-mistral-content.test.ts, tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-mistral-policy.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.md, structure/providers/mistral-chat.md, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Native Mistral JSON and SSE responses convert typed text and reasoning content into string fields. Unsupported content blocks produce an upstream error. Tests cover streaming combinations and preservation of other destinations’ array content.

Schema-validation failure details

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation detail shape and filtering
src/lib/upstream-validation-detail.ts, src/lib/failure-detail.ts, structure/data-planes/error-detail.md, structure/INDEX.md, structure/manifest.json, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.md
Validation details use allowlisted field and error-type pairs, bounded extraction, and a sanitized FailureDetail shape. Documentation describes the limits and excludes upstream free text from the recorded details.
Upstream validation capture
src/server/request-log-failure-detail.ts, src/server/chat-native.ts, src/server/responses/adapter-dispatch.ts, src/server/responses/core-combo-failure.ts, src/server/responses/core-combo.ts, tests/server/upstream-error-detail-boundaries.test.ts, tests/usage/request-log-error-detail.test.ts
Eligible 4xx responses are checked for structured validation details across native Chat, translated dispatch, and combo failures. Tests check filtering and retention in live, stored, and hydrated failure details.
Failure detail display
gui/src/pages/logs-failure-summary.ts, gui/tests/logs-failure-detail.test.ts
Provider-error summaries append recognized validation field and type pairs to the typed or generic error label. The dashboard test checks that an unrecognized field is omitted.

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

Review comments at @src/adapters/openai-chat/destination-policy.ts:
- Around line 12-18: Update the rename logic guarded by isCanonicalMistralChat
so a null target value is treated like an unset value and the source value is
copied before the source is deleted. Add a regression test for a native Mistral
Chat request with max_tokens null and max_completion_tokens set to 123,
verifying the completion limit is preserved.

Review comments at @src/lib/upstream-validation-detail.ts:
- Around line 30-39: Update upstreamValidationIssues to distinguish nested
validation errors from errors on their parent field: encode enough of the
bounded location to identify nested fields, including nested extra_forbidden
errors, using closed tokens rather than arbitrary upstream keys. Preserve the
existing value-free output and bounds.

Review comments at @src/server/request-log-failure-detail.ts:
- Around line 91-92: Update the validation branch using upstreamValidationIssues
in request-log failure detail construction to preserve an allowlisted error type
from the upstream response instead of always recording invalid_request_error;
omit the type when it is unknown or not allowlisted, while keeping the existing
provider_error code and validation details.

Review comments at @src/server/responses/adapter-dispatch.ts:
- Line 1886: Update the non-combo translated-request 422 handling so
recordUpstreamValidationDetail receives the original validation body for
recognized fields even when it exceeds the 64 KiB display limit. Keep
readDisplaySafeErrorText’s display-size safeguard; separate validation parsing
from display-safe error text without allowing oversized bodies to bypass the
existing limit.

Validation details are lost above the display limit.

For a non-combo translated request, a valid 422 body above 64 KiB and at most 256 KiB can contain recognized validation fields. readDisplaySafeErrorText replaces the body with unknown error before recordUpstreamValidationDetail receives it, so the operator log omits those fields.

…Mistral Chat

Reasoning-capable Chat clients (OpenCode and other OpenAI-compatible tools)
replay the assistant reasoning_content their responses carried back into every
follow-up request. The Mistral wire policy from lidge-jun#8278 already omits the
top-level reasoning controls, but per-message fields pass through verbatim,
and Mistral's strict Chat schema rejects the replayed field with HTTP 422 —
killing every follow-up request on Mistral-destined routes (lidge-jun#8420).

Extend the canonical-Mistral Chat destination policy, the final wire
projection shared by the native and translated builders, to drop
reasoning_content from message history at egress. Touched messages are
replaced by stripped copies, so caller-owned message objects are never
mutated; only canonical api.mistral.ai key-auth destinations are affected, and
other destinations are unchanged.

Tests: four new cases in tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-mistral-policy.test.ts
covering the strip on the native builder, untouched passthrough for
non-Mistral destinations and auth modes, and caller-object immutability
through applyChatDestinationPolicy.

* fix(chat): keep caller history immutable while stripping Mistral reasoning

Reviewer feedback on #8432: replacing array slots edits the caller's
messages array, breaking the projection's caller-isolation contract —
retries and combo siblings may read the history after the Mistral
projection runs. Build a copied array holding stripped copies of only
the touched messages, mirroring the replay planner's caller-safety rule,
and swap it in only when something was stripped.

* fix(chat): keep native reasoning replay from restoring reasoning_content on Mistral

The native passthrough applies its reasoning-replay plan after the Mistral
destination policy strips message reasoning_content, and the plan rebuilds from
the pre-strip history. With preserveReasoningContentModels set, the client's
reasoning_content came back and Mistral answered 422. Canonical Mistral Chat
now gets the no-op replay plan. Docs-site states the history strip (CodeRabbit).
