Summary

Fixes #2092.

Root cause

prompt_cache_retention is injected client-side by some Codex App builds (it does not exist anywhere in codex-rs); opencodex forwards request bodies opaquely on the forward path, and the ChatGPT codex backend rejects the field with {"detail":"Unsupported parameter: prompt_cache_retention"} on gpt-5.6 models — one bad field aborts the whole agent turn mid-run (the issue's deterministic 3/3 repro).

Fix — model-scoped strip

stripPromptCacheRetentionForGpt56 removes the field on the forward path only when the model id starts with gpt-5.6.

Why scoped rather than blanket: the backend's cache handling is account-level and has provably varied by deployment (the issue itself observed one deployment accepting "24h" and echoing it back) — and main already pins preservation for gpt-5.5 (tests/openai-responses-passthrough.test.ts:807). A global strip would silently drop a parameter a deployment honors; the only invariant the report establishes is never send it to gpt-5.6.

Tests

  • the issue's repro shape across both gpt-5.6 models: the field never reaches the wire, model/stream intact;
  • gpt-5.5 keeps the field (the existing pin's semantics, now explicit in the same describe block).

(Couldn't run the bun suite locally on this Windows checkout; relying on CI.)

Review readiness checklist

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

  • All CI tests are green on my local testing.

  • I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit.

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved request handling for GPT-5.6 models by automatically removing the unsupported prompt cache retention setting when requests are forwarded.
    • Requests for other models, including GPT-5.5, remain unchanged.

The ChatGPT codex backend rejects prompt_cache_retention with
{"detail":"Unsupported parameter: prompt_cache_retention"} on gpt-5.6
models (gpt-5.6-luna / gpt-5.6-sol), aborting the whole agent turn
mid-run. The parameter is emitted client-side by some Codex App builds
- it does not exist anywhere in codex-rs - and request bodies are
forwarded opaquely, so one bad field kills the turn (lidge-jun#2092).

Strip the field on the forward path, scoped to gpt-5.6 model ids: the
backend's cache handling is account-level and has provably varied by
deployment (one accepted "24h" and echoed it back), so a global strip
would silently drop a parameter a deployment honors. Non-gpt-5.6
models keep the existing preserve behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The forward-auth OpenAI Responses adapter now removes prompt_cache_retention from requests for models whose IDs start with gpt-5.6. Tests cover GPT-5.6 removal and preservation for gpt-5.5.

Changes

GPT-5.6 request sanitization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sanitizer and forward-mode wiring
src/adapters/openai-responses.ts
Adds stripPromptCacheRetentionForGpt56 and applies it when constructing forward-mode requests.
Model-specific sanitization coverage
tests/openai-responses-passthrough.test.ts
Verifies removal for gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-5.6-sol, and preservation for gpt-5.5.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 613d1

The change is localized, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains; adding an assertion for stream preservation is a minor follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert that stream survives sanitization.

The test sends stream: true, but it only checks prompt_cache_retention and model. A regression that removes or changes stream would still pass this test.

Proposed test assertion
       expect(body).not.toHaveProperty("prompt_cache_retention");
       expect(body.model).toBe(modelId);
+      expect(body.stream).toBe(true);

Two notes on this PR.

Branch. It targeted main; I have retargeted it to dev. Every feature PR here targets devmain only moves by maintainer promotion, so a PR against it can never merge. Worth checking the base when you open the next one.

Collision. This is one of three PRs fixing #2092 (with #2091 and #2102), and only one can land. We are going with #2102. The predicate is the deciding detail: startsWith("gpt-5.6") here also matches an unrelated future id such as gpt-5.60, while modelId !== "gpt-5.6" && !modelId.startsWith("gpt-5.6-") cannot. #2102 also covers Sol/Terra/Luna/alias in its tests rather than two ids.

Your call to keep the strip model-scoped rather than global was the right instinct, and it is the reason #2091 was not chosen either.

리뷰 · 우선순위 24 / 80

#2092를 startsWith("gpt-5.6")로 스트립하는 세 번째 패치다. forward 경로에서만 필드를 빼고 gpt-5.5는 남긴다. 아이디어는 한 45다. 지금 점수는 24다. draft, 체크리스트 0/4, hygiene unsponsored_surface, 그리고 메인테이너가 이미 #2102를 골랐다. package.json 버전을 2.24.2에서 2.25.0으로 올리는 줄이 릴리스 서피스를 건드린다.

구현은 src/adapters/openai-responses.tsstripPromptCacheRetentionForGpt56()이다. modelId.startsWith("gpt-5.6")이면 prompt_cache_retention을 지운다. 호출은 if (forward) 블록 안이다. 비정규 forward도 같이 스트립된다. #2102는 modelId === "gpt-5.6" || modelId.startsWith("gpt-5.6-")이고 isCanonicalOpenAiForwardProvider로 한 번 더 좁힌다. 여기 prefix는 gpt-5.6foo 같은 앞글자에도 맞는다. 메인테이너가 적은 그대로다.

테스트는 luna/sol에서 필드가 사라지고 gpt-5.5는 "24h"를 유지하는 두 개다. 로컬 bun 스위트는 Windows에서 안 돌렸다고 적혀 있다. 버전 bump는 이 버그픽스와 무관하다. dev의 패키지 버전과 충돌할 수 있고, 릴리스는 메인테이너 승격만 움직인다.

#2091(모든 forward 스트립)과 #2102(정규 ChatGPT + 정확한 5.6 패밀리)가 같은 이슈를 고친다. 세 개 중 하나만 랜다. 이미 고른 쪽은 #2102다. 이 브랜치를 더 키울 이유가 없다.

해결방안

이 PR은 머지하지 마라. #2102가 랜 뒤 close하면 된다. 버전 bump는 어떤 후속에도 넣지 마라. 로컬에서 스위트를 못 돌린 것도 이 점수를 올리지 않는다. 새 커밋으로 prefix를 고쳐 #2102와 경쟁하지 마라.

Thanks for this, @yzxcj797 — closing as superseded by #2138, which fixes #2092.

Two things from your PR were carried over: the Fixes #2092 issue link (yours was the only one of the three that formally linked it) and the repro-shaped test fixture.

The merged contract is @lilinxiong's from #2102, for two reasons worth naming: startsWith("gpt-5.6") also matches a future gpt-5.60, and stripping on every authMode: "forward" provider would change behavior for gateways that still honor the field, where only the canonical ChatGPT backend is known to reject it. #2138 pins both as explicit non-match tests. The package.json 2.24.2 → 2.25.0 bump was also left out — release versions move through scripts/release.ts.
