Summary

A spend-ledger storage refusal is now reported as a local 503 with its own code, instead of "Provider unreachable" 502.

When the journal fails a safety check (for example journal: extra-hard-link, which a sync daemon can cause inside a synced Documents folder, as in #6314), the guard correctly refuses to write. Every dispatch path then caught that refusal as a transport failure: the client got HTTP 502 "Provider unreachable: Spend-ledger storage could not be opened safely", the request log attributed it to the upstream, and passthrough recorded provider and account health failures for a problem that never left the machine.

Now a shared mapper (src/server/responses/spend-storage-error.ts) recognizes SpendLedgerFileRefusedError, including when it is nested inside a retry wrapper's cause chain. Passthrough, translated dispatch, compact and runTurn check it before transport classification:

  • The client gets HTTP 503, type: "server_error", code: "spend_ledger_storage_unavailable", with the existing sanitized message (file role, failed check, synced-folder guidance; no private path). formatErrorResponse and classifyError preserve this code, so a generic upstream 503 is still server_is_overloaded. A response that already started streaming carries the code in its terminal error.
  • The request log marks it as a synthetic local-refusal.
  • Admission and probe leases are released at the same exits as before. Host and account health are not penalized, and existing spend debt and dispatched-send charges are unchanged.
  • The ledger guard itself is unchanged.

Internal retries do not change, because 502 and 503 are both already in the transient-status and combo-hop sets. Clients now see a 503 with a specific code where they used to see a 502.

The troubleshooting page and structure/transports/responses-spend.md / responses.md describe the new response. The diagnostics and Google Drive detection named in the issue thread had already landed in #6398 and #6846; this PR covers the remaining misclassification. The extra link itself comes from outside OpenCodex.

Refs #6314

Verification

  • bun test tests/responses/responses-send-budget-errors.test.ts tests/lib/spend-ledger-file-journal.test.ts tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts: 67 pass, 0 fail. New cases in responses-send-budget-errors.test.ts cover direct and wrapped refusals on passthrough, translated and compact paths, lease release, zero inference dispatch on an initial refusal, no health penalty, and a genuine connection-error control that still returns 502.
  • With the four dispatch files reverted: 11 pass, 18 fail (the old 502 "Provider unreachable").
  • bun test tests/responses/responses-compaction-routing.test.ts -t 'circuit blocks': 2 pass.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan, bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts, docs build: pass.
  • No live sync-daemon reproduction. Full suite not run locally; exact-head hosted CI is the gate.

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

  • Bug Fixes

    • Spend-ledger storage refusals now return HTTP 503 with a clear spend_ledger_storage_unavailable error, including for streaming responses.
    • These local refusals no longer count against provider or account health. Other requests in the session may still succeed when the storage issue is temporary.
    • Genuine connection failures continue to return HTTP 502.
  • Documentation

    • Updated troubleshooting guidance with the refusal status, error details, and synced-folder advice.

A SpendLedgerFileRefusedError (for example an extra hard link from a sync daemon) was caught as a transport failure, returned as 502 Provider unreachable, attributed upstream, and charged to provider and account health. Map it, including nested retry causes, to 503 server_error spend_ledger_storage_unavailable before transport classification on passthrough, translated, compact and runTurn paths; log it as a local refusal and skip health penalties. The guard is unchanged. Refs #6314.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Spend-ledger storage refusals now use a dedicated error code and return HTTP 503 across Responses dispatch paths. The change adds local-refusal logging, preserves the error identity in terminal responses, and updates tests and troubleshooting documentation.

Changes

Spend-ledger refusal handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define the refusal error mapping
src/lib/errors.ts, src/server/responses/spend-storage-error.ts, src/bridge/errors.ts, structure/transports/responses.md
The shared error code identifies spend-ledger storage refusals. The mapper follows nested Error.cause links, records local-refusal metadata when log context is provided, and formats matched refusals as HTTP 503 server_error responses.
Apply refusal mapping across Responses paths
src/server/responses/adapter-dispatch.ts, src/server/responses/compact.ts, src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts, src/server/responses/run-turn-execution.ts, structure/transports/responses-spend.md
Dispatch paths map storage refusals to the local error response. Run-turn preserves the error code in buffered and Combo preflight responses, and in structured terminal errors for committed streams. Generic upstream 503 handling remains separate.
Verify and document refusal behavior
tests/responses/responses-send-budget-errors.test.ts, tests/helpers/responses-core-source.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/troubleshooting/spend-ledger-synced-folder.md
Tests cover refusal mapping, lease and budget behavior, recovery, and buffered and streaming responses. The troubleshooting page documents the 503 response, local-refusal attribution, and terminal error code.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a75f7

Requests that reached the provider can be recorded as locally answered without a send. Correct the logging marker while preserving local-refusal attribution; the remaining risk is bounded.

P2 Badge Map storage failures from translated continuations

When the terminal guard starts a translated continuation, fetchContinuation() in adapter-continuation.ts performs the same spend-ledger reservation/reporting as the initial exchange, but its catch blocks convert every thrown SpendLedgerFileRefusedError into an unstructured Provider continuation failed event. Because this new mapping only covers prepareAdapterExchange, a guard that trips between the initial send and its continuation is still reported as a generic streamed 502 and attributed upstream rather than carrying spend_ledger_storage_unavailable and local-refusal; apply the mapper in the continuation catches and emit the structured terminal error there too.

P2 Badge Preserve storage refusals through sidecar dispatch

For requests routed through the image or web-search sidecars, executeResponsesSidecars passes the same adapter send budget into the loop, so a ledger safety check can fail during an adapter-owned send; however, the loop catch blocks normalize that exception to LoopError(502, "Provider unreachable: ...") (and image runTurn producer failures are similarly wrapped), discarding the typed cause before this mapper can see it. Such sidecar requests therefore retain the old provider-attributed 502 behavior; recognize the refusal before generic sidecar transport wrapping and return or emit the structured local 503.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the zero-send marker off dispatched requests.

If a retry reaches the provider before the ledger refuses a later send, this call still sets logCtx.localTerminalReason. tests/responses/responses-send-budget-errors.test.ts covers that one-send state at Lines 247–253. The field means that the request was answered locally without an upstream send, and addFinalRequestLog passes its presence to finalizedUsage as locallyAnswered. Record the synthetic refusal and error code without setting localTerminalReason when a send has already dispatched. Preserve local-refusal attribution through a marker that does not claim a zero-send answer.
