Fixes #1785.

What happens today

One routingProfiles candidate naming a disabled provider fails the parse at document level, so loadConfig falls back to the built-in default. Everything else goes with it — providers, API keys, modelCosts, and the profiles that were fine.

Reproduced as a test before touching anything (three good providers, prices, and two profiles, one of which names a disabled provider):

providers served : [ "openai" ]          <- disk defines TR, keep1, keep2
routingProfiles  : []
modelCosts       : []

That matches the report exactly: 11 providers on disk, 1 served, while /healthz and the management API stay green throughout.

Why it reaches that far

routingProfileIssues() and comboConfigIssues() are evaluated per entry, but they report through ctx.addIssue inside the schema's superRefine — so an entry-level finding becomes a document-level failure. The merge-defaults retry above can't help either, because the offending entry is still present in the merged object.

The change

When a parse failure is confined to routingProfiles / combos, drop exactly the entries it named and re-parse. After the fix, same fixture:

opencodex config at .../config.json: dropped [routingProfiles.bad] and loaded the rest —
routingProfiles.bad.candidates.0.provider: candidates[0].provider "TR" is disabled.
Everything else in your config, including providers and modelCosts, is preserved.

providers served : [ "openai", "TR", "keep1", "keep2" ]
routingProfiles  : [ "good" ]
modelCosts       : [ "keep1/m" ]

Validation is unchanged — only the blast radius is. A candidate pointing at a disabled provider is still an error and still reported, now naming the profile, the provider and the reason.

Three deliberate choices:

  1. The whole entry is dropped, not the individual candidate. A profile that quietly loses one candidate still routes, just not where the operator told it to; a policy that silently changed shape is a worse outcome than one that is plainly absent. Absent is also the loud option — a dry-run against it answers unknown_profile, which together with the warning points at the real mistake instead of looking like an unrelated one.

  2. Anything outside those two sections salvages nothing. If any issue falls elsewhere, or names the container rather than an entry (routingProfiles as an array), the existing backup-and-defaults path runs exactly as before. This shouldn't become a way to load configs the loader can't reason about.

  3. No config.json.invalid-* backup is written when salvaging, because nothing was discarded. The reporter had accumulated ten of those before noticing anything was wrong, so the backup staying meaningful is worth preserving.

This follows the rule already written into this schema for apiKeys"a key the user still has deployed must not be collateral damage for one bad neighbour". Same reasoning, applied one level up.

Tests

Six new cases in tests/config.test.ts:

test pins
candidate naming a disabled provider drops only its profile providers, modelCosts and the good profile survive; warning names profile + reason
salvaging is not a fallback, so no invalid-* backup piles up the ten-backup symptom
combos are salvaged the same way the sibling section
every bad profile is dropped, not just the first multiple entries
a failure outside those sections still falls back, unchanged no regression to the existing path
a malformed container is not an entry, so it is not salvaged the container/entry distinction

I checked these fail without the fix rather than assuming: with the salvage block removed, the four behavioural tests fail and the two negative controls still pass, which is what they're there for.

Gates

bun run typecheck   clean
bun run test        12587 pass, 8 skip, 0 fail (814 files)
bun run privacy:scan Privacy scan passed

One note on the suite: an earlier run showed 7 failures that did not recur on a clean re-run and were unrelated to this area (image/replay tests). Flagging it rather than quietly reporting only the green run.

Targeting dev per AGENTS.md.

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
    • Configuration loading now preserves valid routing profiles, combinations, providers, and costs when only specific entries are invalid.
    • Invalid entries are removed with a warning instead of discarding the entire configuration.
    • Full fallback behavior remains available when configuration errors affect unsupported sections or containers.

A single `routingProfiles` candidate naming a disabled provider failed the
document-level parse, so the loader fell back to the built-in default. The
operator's eleven providers, every API key and the entire `modelCosts` table
disappeared while the proxy carried on serving and reporting healthy — the
only visible symptom being a `404 unknown_profile` from a dry-run, which
reads like a broken profile rather than a discarded config.

`routingProfileIssues()` and `comboConfigIssues()` are both evaluated per
entry but reported through `ctx.addIssue` in the schema's `superRefine`, which
makes every entry-level finding a document-level failure. The merge-defaults
retry cannot help: the offending entry is still there.

So when a parse failure is confined to those two sections, drop exactly the
entries it blamed and re-parse. Everything outside them survives. If any issue
falls outside — or names the container rather than an entry — nothing is
salvaged and the existing backup-and-defaults path runs unchanged.

The whole entry goes rather than the individual candidate. A profile that
quietly loses one candidate still routes, just not where it was told to, and a
policy that silently changed shape is worse than one that is plainly absent.
Absent is also the loud option: a dry-run against it answers `unknown_profile`,
which together with the new warning points at the real mistake.

This follows the salvage rule already established for `apiKeys` in this
schema — "a key the user still has deployed must not be collateral damage for
one bad neighbour".

Validation is unchanged; only the blast radius is. The warning names the
dropped entries, the offending provider and the reason, and no
`config.json.invalid-*` backup is written, since nothing was discarded — the
reporter had accumulated ten of those before noticing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

loadConfig now removes invalid named entries from routingProfiles and combos when other configuration data remains valid. It preserves valid configuration, emits repair warnings, and retains full default fallback for unrelated or malformed validation failures.

Changes

Configuration salvage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Salvage validation rules
src/config.ts
Lines 3452–3525 identify invalid named entries in routingProfiles and combos, reject unrelated or container-level failures, remove invalid entries, and report dropped paths with validation reasons.
Loader recovery and regression coverage
src/config.ts, tests/config.test.ts
Lines 2175–2195 retry configuration loading with salvaged sections. Lines 1583–1697 verify preservation of valid data, removal of multiple invalid entries, warning behavior, and default fallback with backups for unsupported failures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 65822

The change can still discard valid configuration when diagnostics or dependent routing entries fail, potentially replacing configured providers, keys, and costs with defaults, and it may log operator-controlled identifiers without redaction. These correctness and security risks should be fixed before merging.

Apply selective salvage in configDiagnosticsFromRaw.

loadConfig now preserves a salvaged config. configDiagnosticsFromRaw at Lines 2461-2482 still returns { config: getDefaultConfig(), source: "fallback" } after the same merged parse fails.

The existing comment at Lines 2464-2466 confirms that this result can cause a config command to persist defaults over configured providers and keys. Reuse dropInvalidConfigSections after the retry parse in configDiagnosticsFromRaw. Add a regression test that verifies diagnostics retain providers after dropping an invalid routing profile or combo.

Repeat salvage when sections have dependencies.

A routing profile validates against combos at Lines 1633-1638. If an invalid combo is removed in this pass, a profile that references that combo can fail only during salvagedResult. The current code then falls back to defaults and discards valid providers, keys, and costs.

Continue salvage-and-revalidate until validation succeeds, an issue is outside a salvageable named entry, or no entry was removed. Accumulate dropped entries and their issues for the warning. Add a regression test with an invalid combo and a routing profile that references it.

Redact entry IDs before logging the repair warning.

dropped contains raw routing-profile and combo IDs. issue.path.join(".") also serializes raw IDs. These IDs are operator-controlled and can be token-shaped. The warning writes them to console.error.

Redact each dynamic path component with redactSecretString before constructing dropped and reasons. Preserve non-sensitive section names and validation messages.

As per path instructions: “tokens and OAuth material must never be logged or serialized into responses.”

Source: Path instructions

…try ids

Four blockers from review, all reproduced against this branch:

1. configDiagnosticsFromRaw still returned getDefaultConfig() with source
   "fallback". loadConfig salvaged, diagnostics did not, and its own comment
   says that result can be persisted over the operator's providers and keys.
   It now runs the same salvage. The validated config comes from the merged
   candidate while the second argument stays the RAW document minus the same
   dropped entries, so an absent optional setting is still distinguishable
   from an injected default.

2. Salvage was one-pass. The sections are not independent of each other, so
   dropping an invalid combo can expose a profile that referenced it; the
   second parse failure then discarded the whole config. Salvage now repeats
   until the document parses, bounded by the number of salvageable entries,
   and stops as soon as a pass removes nothing.

3. Entry ids are operator-chosen and can be pasted secrets, and both the
   dropped list and the serialized issue paths went to console.error raw.
   Dynamic components now go through redactSecretString; static section names
   stay readable because they are the part that tells the operator where to
   look.

4. No regression proved the fallback does not weaken the management auth
   boundary. Added one: on a salvaged config, /api/config still returns 401
   anonymously, 401 for the data-plane token, 401 for a wrong admin token,
   and 200 for the valid admin token, with the salvaged providers intact.

Also found while testing: salvage must refuse Codex account namespace
collisions. That finding is a relationship between a combo and an account
selector but is reported on the combo, so dropping the combo made the document
parse and quietly admitted the selector the schema had just refused. Those
issues are now unsalvageable and fail the whole document, which is what the two
existing namespace-collision tests were asserting.
… the error

Follow-up to the previous commit. The first attempt made configDiagnosticsFromRaw
return source "file" with error null after a successful salvage, which broke two
persisted-combo tests -- correctly. Diagnostics is the surface that TELLS callers
the file is invalid, and provider reload, catalog sync, cost reconcile and codex
admission all gate on exactly source !== "file" || error !== null. Salvaging the
error away would have quietly admitted configs those paths must refuse.

The real lidge-jun#1785 defect is narrower: the config PAYLOAD was getDefaultConfig(), so
a caller that writes diagnostics back persists factory defaults over the
operator's providers, keys and prices. Now source stays "fallback" and error
keeps the real schema message, and only the payload changes -- it carries the
salvaged document instead of defaults.

Full suite on the previous head caught this; the two combo tests are restored to
passing without weakening what they assert.
