fix(openai-codex): complete prompts over the streaming transport - #1243
Conversation
The Codex subscription endpoint only accepts streaming requests, so `completePrompt` sending `stream: false` was rejected outright with HTTP 400 `Stream must be set to true`. That made commit-message generation, prompt enhancement and condensing unusable on Codex. Rather than issue its own request, `completePrompt` now runs the existing streaming path and joins the text chunks. That inherits the OAuth refresh-and-retry, the SDK-then-SSE fallback and the Luna body instead of duplicating a second, subtly different request builder. Reasoning chunks are deliberately dropped: a commit message is written straight into the Source Control box. A caller's abort signal also never reached the wire, since both transports abort through the handler's own controller. It is now linked to that controller, so stopping a generation actually cancels it. The spec asserted `stream: false`, pinning the bug in place; it now asserts the opposite and covers chunk joining, reasoning exclusion, auth retry and signal propagation.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Abort does not short-circuit the SSE fallback.
The linking logic is correct. However, executeRequest catches every SDK error at Line 503 and then runs makeCodexRequest. When the caller aborts, the SDK throws an abort error, so the handler still starts a second transport attempt with an already-aborted signal. The result is a wasted fetch call and an error wrapped as connectionFailed instead of a cancellation.
Consider skipping the fallback when the controller is already aborted.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Cancellation returns partial text instead of an error.
When the caller's signal aborts, executeRequest breaks out of the stream loop and completes normally. completePrompt then returns the text accumulated so far. Callers cannot distinguish a cancelled completion from a finished one. The commit-message caller would write a truncated message into the editor.
The new test at src/api/providers/__tests__/openai-codex.spec.ts Line 414 confirms this: an already-aborted signal resolves rather than rejects.
Throw when the signal aborted.
🐛 Proposed fix
return text
+ } finally {
+ // nothing
}Better: check the signal after the loop.
+ if (options?.abortSignal?.aborted) {
+ throw new Error("OpenAI Codex completion was cancelled.")

Description
completePrompt()built its own request body withstream: false, which the Codex subscription endpoint rejects with400 Stream must be set to true. Rather than flip the flag and hand-roll SSE parsing, this runs the request throughhandleResponsesApiMessage— the pathcreateMessagealready uses — and joins the text chunks into one string.Going through the existing path means the OAuth refresh-and-retry, the SDK→SSE fallback, the Luna body and the service tier all apply without being duplicated. The hand-built body is gone, along with the now-redundant
notAuthenticatedcheck.Only
textchunks are accumulated. Reasoning is deliberately dropped — commit-message generation writes this result straight into the Source Control input box.Two things worth flagging for review:
expect(body.stream).toBe(false)meant the test suite held the broken behavior in place. That assertion is inverted, and the twocompletePrompttests now drive real streams.abortSignalwas dead on this provider.executeRequestalways made its ownAbortControllerand never linkedmetadata?.abortSignal, so cancelling never reached the wire. The caller's signal is now linked to that controller, which also makes the commit-message stop button actually cancel the request.Behavior change worth knowing: the old code returned the first
output_textblock; concatenating returns all of them. For a one-shot completion that is more correct, andcleanCommitMessagealready post-processes the result.An SSE-path failure now produces two telemetry events, since
makeCodexRequestalready captures one of its own. Left alone as it is not worth restructuring the error handling for.Test Procedure
npx vitest run api/providers/__tests__/openai-codex.spec.ts api/providers/__tests__/openai-codex-native-tool-calls.spec.ts— 49 pass. The whole provider suite (api/providers/__tests__/) passes at 1263.New coverage: joining multiple text deltas, reasoning excluded from the result, tool calls and usage excluded, OAuth retry reaching
completePrompt, abort-signal propagation (live and already-aborted), and error wrapping when both transports fail.Manually: with a Codex profile selected, run Enhance Prompt or generate a commit message and confirm text comes back instead of a 400.
