Fixes #1219.

What

OpenAIProvider.call() sends max_tokens unconditionally. Reasoning models — the gpt-5 family and the o-series — reject it:

400 Unsupported parameter: 'max_tokens' is not supported with this model.
    Use 'max_completion_tokens' instead.

Since 0.9.29 defaults OPENAI_MODEL to gpt-5.6-luna, that is every LLM call on default config, as #1219 documents. It is not Azure-specific, but Azure makes it easy to hit even with an explicit model: deployment names are user-chosen, so nothing about the configured string reveals which spelling the endpoint wants.

Why detection rather than a config flag or a model allowlist

  • A flag pushes a compatibility detail onto users who cannot reasonably know the answer in advance, and it would need setting again for every new deployment.
  • A model-name allowlist is guesswork on Azure (OPENAI_MODEL is the deployment name) and goes stale with every model release.
  • The API already states which parameter it wants. Reading that is exact and needs no maintenance.

So: send max_tokens; if a 400 names max_completion_tokens, switch and retry once. The provider keeps the learned spelling for its lifetime, so the extra round trip happens once per process rather than once per request. Endpoints that accept max_tokens never return that 400 and never see a second request — the existing path is unchanged.

How to verify

test/openai-max-completion-tokens.test.ts covers four behaviours:

  • max_tokens is sent by default
  • a 400 naming max_completion_tokens triggers exactly one retry with the other spelling
  • the learned spelling persists, so a later call costs one request, not two
  • unrelated 400s (e.g. context_length_exceeded) do not retry

Also exercised end to end against an Azure OpenAI gpt-5.4-mini deployment: before the change every mem::compress failed with the 400 above; after it, compression returns normally with no other request-body change.

npm test          # 1715 passing (1711 before, +4 here)
npm run build     # clean

Note on scope

#1219 also raises whether gpt-5.6-luna is the right default. That is a separate decision and is deliberately untouched here — this PR makes the provider work with whatever model is configured, including the current default.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved compatibility with APIs that require the max_completion_tokens parameter.
    • Automatically retries requests when the initial token-limit parameter is rejected.
    • Remembers the accepted parameter format to avoid unnecessary retries on future requests.
    • Preserves existing behavior for unrelated request errors.
    • Ensures retries share the original request’s timeout budget.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for fallback behavior, remembered configuration, timeout handling, and error handling.

…x_tokens

gpt-5 family and o-series deployments reject `max_tokens` with a 400:

  Unsupported parameter: 'max_tokens' is not supported with this model.
  Use 'max_completion_tokens' instead.

Compression and summarisation then fail for every observation. Reproduced
against an Azure OpenAI `gpt-5.4-mini` deployment; the request body is
otherwise accepted unchanged.

The accepted spelling cannot be derived from the model string — Azure
deployment names are user-chosen and OpenAI-compatible proxies differ — so
detect it instead: send `max_tokens`, and if the API names
`max_completion_tokens` in a 400, switch and retry once. The provider keeps
the learned spelling, so the extra round trip happens once per process rather
than once per request.

Endpoints that accept `max_tokens` are unaffected: they never return that 400
and never see a second request.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenAIProvider selects the token-limit parameter dynamically. It retries matching 400 responses with max_completion_tokens, remembers that spelling, and applies one timeout budget across both attempts. Tests cover fallback, concurrency, timeout, and unrelated errors.

Changes

OpenAI token parameter fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token parameter selection and timeout-aware requests
src/providers/openai.ts
OpenAIProvider stores the active token-limit parameter, builds requests with that parameter, and passes the remaining deadline to fetchWithTimeout.
Fallback retry and behavior validation
src/providers/openai.ts, test/openai-max-completion-tokens.test.ts
call() reads error text once, retries matching 400 responses, latches max_completion_tokens, preserves retries for concurrent calls, and validates fallback, latching, timeout sharing, and unrelated errors.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 504c7

The PR enables affected OpenAI models to retry with the accepted token parameter and preserves the learned choice for later calls. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a bounded availability risk: stalled error responses or timeout configurations above the helper cap may let a fallback call run longer than intended.

Keep one timeout budget for the full call() operation.

Line 140 starts a second fetchWithTimeout operation with the full this.timeoutMs budget. A delayed initial 400 can therefore make one call() run for almost twice the configured timeout. This bypasses the total-budget contract in src/providers/_fetch.ts.

Capture a deadline before the first send. Pass only the remaining time to each send. Do not call fetchWithTimeout when no time remains.

🌐 Web query:

According to the Fetch Standard, what happens to the unread original body branch after Response.clone() is consumed and the original response is discarded?

💡 Result:

According to the Fetch Standard, calling Response.clone performs a tee operation on the underlying ReadableStream of the response body [1]. This process creates two independent branches of the stream [1][2]. When a response is cloned, both the original and the cloned response effectively share the source stream through this teeing mechanism [1][2]. If one branch (the clone or the original) is consumed and the other remains unread, the unread branch remains in a state where it is theoretically capable of being read [3][4]. Because the standard does not automatically cancel or discard the unread branch upon the consumption of the other, the system may buffer data in memory to accommodate the possibility that the unread branch could be consumed later [3][2]. If the unread branch is never consumed and the original response object is discarded, the behavior regarding the remaining data depends on the runtime environment's implementation of the streams and garbage collection [5][2]. While the Fetch Standard mandates the teeing behavior [1], it does not explicitly mandate a specific memory-management outcome for orphaned streams. However, in practice, leaving one branch of a teed stream unread often leads to memory overhead or warning triggers in environments like Cloudflare Workers or Node.js, because the runtime must maintain the buffer for the unread branch to satisfy the streaming contract [6][5][2][7]. To avoid this, developers are generally advised to explicitly cancel the unused stream branch (e.g., using response.body.cancel) if it will not be read [5].

Cancel the discarded response body before the fallback request.

response.clone().text() consumes only the clone. The original 400 response body remains unread when Line 140 replaces response, which can retain buffered data. Cancel response.body before retrying.

Review feedback on rohitg00#1275: the retry started a second fetchWithTimeout with the
full this.timeoutMs, so a slow initial 400 could let one call() run for close
to twice the configured bound — breaking the total-budget contract that
_fetch.ts otherwise holds.

Capture a deadline before the first send and grant each send only the time
left; throw the timeout error when none remains.

Reading the error body once removes the response.clone() as a side effect. The
same text now serves both the retry decision and the error message, so there is
no teed branch left unconsumed when the retry replaces the response.

The added test pins the contract rather than the shape: a 200ms rejection
followed by a hanging retry must fail at ~300ms total. Against the previous
per-request budget it measured 518ms.

Thanks — the timeout finding was correct and is fixed in fd3dce6.

Shared budget. The retry was getting a fresh this.timeoutMs, so a slow initial rejection could stretch one call() to nearly twice the configured bound. There is now a single deadline captured before the first send; each send gets only the remaining time, and no request goes out when the budget is spent.

I added a test that pins the contract rather than the shape: a 200ms rejection followed by a hanging retry must fail at roughly 300ms total. Measured against the previous per-request budget it came out at 518ms, so the test does catch the regression it describes.

response.clone(). Removed, and the fix fell out of the same change: the error body is now read once and serves both the retry decision and the error message. Nothing is teed, so there is no unread branch when the retry replaces the response.

Mocking iii-sdk in the test file — skipping this one. I could not find the convention it refers to: no test file in the repo mocks iii-sdk (0 of 162), including the existing provider tests minimax-provider.test.ts, agent-sdk-provider.test.ts, local-embedding-provider.test.ts and clip-embedding-provider.test.ts. OpenAIProvider does not touch the SDK or the KV — it is constructed directly and only fetch is stubbed, matching how minimax-provider.test.ts is written. Happy to add it if there is a guideline I have missed.

npm test 1716 passing, npm run build clean.

Keep the timeout active while reading error bodies.

fetchWithTimeout() clears its timer when fetch() resolves with response headers. call() then awaits response.text() outside that timeout. An incomplete 400 body can therefore exceed OPENAI_TIMEOUT_MS. Apply the remaining deadline to error-body reads and add a regression test.

Source: Coding guidelines

Review feedback on rohitg00#1275. The retry condition tested `this.tokenLimitParam`,
the shared field, rather than the spelling the request in hand had used.

With two calls in flight before the spelling is learned, both send
`max_tokens`. The first handles its 400, latches `max_completion_tokens` and
retries. The second then finds the field no longer equal to `max_tokens`, so
its own rejection falls through unretried and surfaces as a hard 400. The
compression pipeline issues these concurrently, so it is reachable in normal
operation, not only under contrived load.

Each call now captures what it sent and tests that. The regression test holds
both requests until both are in flight, then releases them together: before
this change the second one threw, now both retry and succeed.

Latching stays where it was — before the retry, on the evidence of the 400
naming the parameter — rather than moving to the retry's success. A retry that
fails for an unrelated reason (429, timeout) has not disproved what the 400
said, and deferring the latch to `response.ok` would make every later call pay
the extra round trip again.

Also trims the comments this PR added, per CONTRIBUTING: the field and deadline
comments keep only what is not derivable from the source, and the "read once"
note went with the clone it described.

Thanks — two of the three are in 504c727, the third I would rather split out. Taking them in order.

Concurrent calls sharing the latch. Correct, and reachable: the compression pipeline issues these concurrently, so this is not only a contrived-load case. Each call now captures what it sent and tests that. The regression test holds both requests until both are in flight, then releases them together; before the change the second one threw its 400 unretried.

I did not take the second half of the proposed fix, though — latching only after response.ok. The evidence that the endpoint wants the other spelling is the 400 naming it, and a retry that fails for an unrelated reason (429, a timeout) has not disproved that. Deferring the latch to a successful retry would make every subsequent call pay the extra round trip again, which is the cost the field exists to avoid. So the latch stays before the retry; only the condition moved to the local value. That is enough to fix the race, since the race was in the test, not the assignment.

Comments. Trimmed. The field and deadline comments keep only what is not derivable from the source — that the accepted spelling cannot be inferred from the model string, and that the deadline spans the retry — and the "read once" note went out with the clone it described. The two lines added for the concurrency point are why, not what.

Error-body reads outside the timeout. The finding is right: fetchWithTimeout clears its timer once headers arrive, so response.text() and the response.json() below it are unbounded, and a server that sends headers then stalls hangs the call.

I am not fixing it here. It predates this PR — the json() read has always been outside the budget — and the fix is not local: bounding body reads properly means threading the deadline through _fetch.ts for every raw-fetch provider that shares the helper (minimax, openrouter, gemini, openrouter-embed), otherwise only OpenAI gets the guarantee and the contract stays uneven. That is a change worth its own PR and its own tests, not a rider on a token-parameter fix.

Happy to open it if you want it tracked; say the word and I will file the issue.

Use the fetch helper’s effective cap for the outer deadline.

fetchWithTimeout() clamps each invocation to HARD_BUDGET_CAP_MS, but deadline uses the raw this.timeoutMs. If the configured timeout is greater than that cap and the first request returns the matching 400 response near the cap, the remaining time can still exceed the cap. The fallback can then receive a second capped attempt and exceed the helper’s intended hard bound. Derive the outer deadline from the same effective budget.

Bug: v0.9.29 default OpenAI model (gpt-5.6-luna) is a reasoning model, but OpenAIProvider sends max_tokens → every mem::compress / mem::summarize 400s
