Summary

Devin Claude models reject a tool whose parameter schema has a root oneOf, anyOf or allOf: devin/claude-opus-5-5 answers invalid_argument before any output, and Codex retries the turn. The Devin encoder only rewrote schemas for Gemini uids, so Claude uids received the root composition unchanged. Codex and MCP tools such as mcp__cua_repl.js ship a root oneOf, so one such tool in the catalog fails the whole turn.

• Claude uids (claude-*, MODEL_CLAUDE_*) now get the same root flattening that Claude Chat gateways already use (fix(openai-chat): flatten root tool schemas for Claude chat gateways #8163): branch properties merge into one object schema, allOf keeps its required names, and oneOf/anyOf alternatives do not force either branch's required list. Nested schemas and literal data are copied unchanged, and the existing bounded $ref handling applies.
• flattenClaudeRootToolParameters is exported from src/adapters/openai-chat/tool-schema.ts so both wires share one algorithm.
• Claude schemas without a root composition, Gemini uids, and every other uid are sent exactly as before; the tests assert object identity for those cases.
• structure/providers-and-adapters.md records the Claude rule next to the Gemini one.

Known limit, same as #8163: a flattened schema validates more loosely than the original union, so the model can send arguments that match neither branch. A schema the flattener cannot safely read keeps its composition and still reaches Cognition as before.

Closes #8302

Verification

• Fail-first: the new Claude root composition (#8302) tests failed on unmodified dev (3 fail: root oneOf kept, anyOf/allOf kept, encoded request still carried "oneOf") and pass with the change.
• bun test tests/providers/devin-chat-wire-fixes.test.ts: 52 pass, 0 fail.
• bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan: pass.
• Layout, file-size ratchet, Lab boundary and structure guards (tests/test-layout*.test.ts, tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts, tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts, tests/ci-workflows/structure-ssot.test.ts): pass on the rebased head.
• bun run test:changed on the pre-rebase head 9543a2b25 (isolated HOME/OPENCODEX_HOME; 2,304 files, because openai-chat/tool-schema.ts has many importers): 52,167 pass, 34 fail. All 34 failures reproduce on clean origin/dev in this container: real-npm Codex CLI update and registry-isolation suites (16), local control socket ([Bug]: link status returns 403 on non-loopback hub management listener #8184) suites, and one catalog retained-sync case. None imports the Devin or Chat tool-schema code.
• NOT RUN: a live Devin request (no Devin account in this environment); full bun run test; macOS/Windows.

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.

Maintainer judgment

• Value: a single root-union tool in a Codex or MCP catalog currently fails every Devin Claude turn; this removes that failure for Claude uids.
• UX change scope: only the tool parameter schema sent to Devin for Claude uids whose schema has a root composition.
• Regression evidence for existing users: Gemini and other uids, and Claude schemas without a root composition, are byte-identical (identity asserted). The flattening code path is the one fix(openai-chat): flatten root tool schemas for Claude chat gateways #8163 already ships for Claude Chat gateways.
• Windows impact: none; pure data transformation.
• Verification scope / NOT RUN: offline encoder tests only; the issue's live probes are the upstream evidence.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Claude tool schemas with root-level alternatives or combined constraints are now converted for use in requests. Other Claude schemas and schemas for other models remain unchanged.
• Documentation
  • Updated provider guidance to describe Claude schema handling and clarify how Gemini nullable types are represented while preserving existing schema details.

Walkthrough

The Devin adapter now detects Claude model UIDs and flattens root oneOf, anyOf, or allOf tool parameter schemas. Tests cover flattened schemas, encoded requests, and unchanged schemas without root composition or for non-Claude models.

Changes: Devin Claude tool-schema handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared Claude schema flattener src/adapters/openai-chat/tool-schema.ts	Adds an exported helper that creates a root object schema without nested sanitization.
Devin normalization and regression coverage src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/tool-schema.ts, tests/providers/devin-chat-wire-fixes.test.ts, structure/providers-and-adapters.md	Detects Claude UIDs and flattens root compositions. Tests cover oneOf, anyOf, and allOf, encoded requests, and unchanged inputs. Documentation describes the Claude behavior and Gemini nullable-type handling.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f639f

This change lets Devin Claude tool schemas with simple root oneOf/anyOf/allOf compositions be sent successfully. Schemas whose root branches reference composed definitions may still be rejected with an unclear error. This is an edge case, so the change is mergeable with that known gap.

Explanation

The changes are limited to Devin Claude schema normalization, reuse of the Claude flattening helper, focused regression tests, and the Devin adapter documentation entry. These changes directly support #8302. No unrelated change is evident.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#8302] The Devin Claude path removes root composition constraints by calling flattenClaudeRootToolParameters from src/adapters/devin/cloud-direct/tool-schema.ts; src/adapters/openai-chat/tool-schema.ts merges branch properties, retains required only for allOf, and deletes root oneOf/anyOf/allOf. For the issue’s oneOf example, the resulting schema permits {} and { "a": "ok", "b": "ok" }, although neither satisfies the original union. The PR therefore does not preserve tool argument validation. When the flattener cannot read a branch, it returns the original composition, which still reaches Devin without the clear compatibility error required by #8302. The new tests cover schema encoding, not argument validation or this error path.

Resolution

Preserve and enforce the original schema when validating returned tool arguments, or reject schemas whose constraints cannot be preserved. Return a clear compatibility error when a schema cannot be translated safely. Add regression tests for valid and invalid oneOf arguments and for the unsupported-schema error path.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Handle a composition that the flattener cannot translate.

If a root branch references a definition that itself contains oneOf, claudeRootBranchLayers returns no layers. The shared flattener then returns the original root composition with type: "object", and encodeToolDef sends it unchanged. Cognition can therefore return the same opaque invalid_argument that this change addresses. Check the normalized result before encoding; if a root composition remains, report a clear compatibility error through the request’s existing failure path. Cover this branch with a focused test.

As per coding guidelines, “Adapter changes must preserve the internal event contract, streaming behavior, tool calls, cancellation, error mapping, and image handling relevant to that adapter.”
