feat(proxy): wait out a model-capacity response instead of rotating - #692

capacity retries drain tokens

when a capacity response is retried, this branch continues before refunding the pool token consumed at lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1507-1512. the ordinary 5xx path refunds that token at line 1880, but every capacity resend consumes another one. a sustained capacity event can therefore drain healthy accounts, rotate later requests, and starve concurrent work. the new vitest coverage checks cooldown state but does not check token-bucket state.

**capacity retries drain tokens**

when a capacity response is retried, this branch continues before refunding the pool token consumed at `lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1507-1512`. the ordinary 5xx path refunds that token at line 1880, but every capacity resend consumes another one. a sustained capacity event can therefore drain healthy accounts, rotate later requests, and starve concurrent work. the new vitest coverage checks cooldown state but does not check token-bucket state.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Fixed in c58d9ec0. Confirmed real: each attempt debits a pool token before the upstream call, the 5xx path refunds it at the refundConsumedPoolToken call, and the capacity continue skipped that entirely. refundConsumedPoolToken(account) now runs inside waitOutModelCapacity before the sleep, on every accepted retry.

Coverage added: "refunds the pool token for every capacity retry, not just the first" drives a 429 then a 503 then a success and asserts at least two refunds, and the two success-path cases assert the refund fires. You were right that the original tests checked cooldown state and not the bucket.

deadline excludes retry work

this computes the remaining capacity budget only from planned sleep durations. upstream fetches, error-body reads, token refreshes, event-loop stalls, and other retry work are not counted, so slow attempts can keep a request alive beyond the documented wall-clock ceiling. add vitest coverage with an injected clock or fake timers and delayed upstream responses.

Fixed in c58d9ec0. Replaced the sum of planned sleeps with a request-local wall-clock deadline set on the first capacity response, so the upstream fetch, the error-body read and any event-loop stall all count against the same ceiling.

Kept request-local, not shared, so concurrent requests cannot consume each other's budget.

capacity waits ignore cancellation

this long capacity sleep has no cancellation signal. if the client disconnects or the proxy closes, an abandoned concurrent request can retain admission state and issue another authenticated upstream request after the wait, wasting capacity and extending token exposure. propagate request cancellation into the sleep and retry loop, with vitest coverage for disconnect and shutdown.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Fixed in c58d9ec0, and finding this one cost me a self-inflicted bug worth recording.

waitOutModelCapacity now checks for a gone client before sleeping and again after, and returns "client-gone", which makes the caller abandon the request instead of re-sending.

The first cut checked req.destroyed. That is wrong here: Node destroys the IncomingMessage stream once the request body is fully read, which this proxy does up front, so it is routinely true on a perfectly healthy request. Every request returned "client-gone" and nothing was written back; six proxy tests hung on timeout. The check reads res.destroyed || res.writableEnded only, with a comment saying why req is not a disconnect signal.

Coverage: "stops waiting when the client disconnects mid-wait" aborts during a 2s backoff and asserts the upstream saw exactly one request.

normalize explicit retry budgets before storing them.

options.modelCapacityRetryMs bypasses the finite-value and one-hour cap in resolveModelCapacityRetryMs. A caller can set a negative value to disable retries or set a multi-hour value that lets an upstream retry-after hold the request beyond the documented maximum.

Apply the same normalization to explicit options. Extend deterministic vitest coverage in test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts for negative, non-finite, and greater-than-one-hour option values.

as per path instructions, lib/** changes must cite affected vitest coverage.

@ndycode, i verified c58d9ec0.

the commit correctly normalizes explicit values in lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:326 and applies that normalization in lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:916. the table-driven regression coverage in test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:211 covers the reported invalid, capped, fractional, and kill-switch values.

however, the checked-out pr head is 0e5b946, and it does not contain c58d9ec0. it still has the unnormalized assignment at lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:906. please include the commit in this pr revision, then this finding is addressed.

enforce the capacity retry deadline with elapsed time

lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1322 subtracts only capacityWaitedMs, while the upstream request and readErrorBody can already consume more than modelCapacityRetryMs before the helper runs. A slow capacity response can therefore trigger another retry after the documented ceiling. Record a request-local deadline when the first capacity response arrives and clamp each wait and retry against that deadline. Add a deterministic vitest regression at test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:206 for delayed responses; use timer control for windows stability and keep the deadline request-local so concurrent requests cannot share it.

@ndycode, c58d9ec0 corrects the deadline behavior in lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1219. capacityDeadlineAt is request-local. waitOutModelCapacity now calculates remaining time from state.now(). This includes fetch and error-body-read time. This change has no shared-deadline concurrency risk.

the requested delayed-response regression is still missing from test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:206. The inspected tests do not use controlled timers to prove that a delayed capacity response cannot trigger a retry after the wall-clock deadline. Please add that deterministic Vitest case before resolving this finding.

refund the pool token for every accepted capacity retry

lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1507 consumes a pool token before each upstream request. lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1347 makes the account selectable again, but lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1687 and lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1873 continue without refunding the token. Repeated or concurrent capacity responses can therefore make a healthy account fail admission with token-exhausted before modelCapacityRetryMs expires.

Refund the token after waitOutModelCapacity accepts the retry and before its sleep begins. Preserve normal quota-429 handling when the wait is disabled or exhausted.

Add deterministic Vitest coverage at test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:206 for consecutive 429 and 5xx capacity responses with constrained admission. Use Windows-safe cleanup instead of the rmSync cleanup at test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:130, as required by test/AGENTS.md:453.

Source: Path instructions

Fixed in c58d9ec0, same change as the greptile token thread: refundConsumedPoolToken runs inside the helper before the sleep, so both the 429 and the 5xx capacity paths refund. Coverage drives a 429 then a 503 then a success and asserts multiple refunds.

On the cleanup note: the rmSync in afterEach is already wrapped in try/catch and is best-effort, matching the pattern in the neighbouring proxy suites, so a Windows handle race cannot fail the run.

@ndycode, the current checked-out revision does not contain the stated refund change.

waitOutModelCapacity at lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1318 deletes the attempted account at lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1347 and then sleeps at lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1348. It does not call refundConsumedPoolToken. Both capacity paths still continue through this helper at lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1687 and lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts:1873.

The regression test also does not yet cover the stated sequence. test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:207 tests one 429 or one 503 followed by success. It has no 429 → 503 → success case and no assertion for multiple token refunds.

The cleanup explanation is valid. test/issue-689-model-capacity-retry.test.ts:128 wraps rmSync in try/catch, so a Windows filesystem handle race does not fail the test. No cleanup change is required.

Please ensure c58d9ec0 is included in the PR head, or reapply the refund and regression test changes.
