Fixes Bug 14 where a timeout would emit a same-model retry message for non-Vertex models before falling back, instead of falling back directly.

  • Modifies is_transient_same_model_retry_error to unconditionally return 1 on timeout.
  • Updates documentation comments to reflect the new expected behavior across all models.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Optimized timeout handling to route timeouts to fallback model evaluation instead of same-model retries, improving system resilience.
    • Updated test scenarios to reflect more efficient retry and fallback behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Timeout errors are reclassified to exclude same-model retry eligibility and flow directly to fallback-model evaluation instead. The function signature and test cases are updated to enforce this policy: the retry classifier no longer takes a model parameter, and test scenarios now expect fallback behavior rather than same-model retries for timeouts.

Changes

Timeout-retry policy update and test alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timeout-retry policy and function update
scripts/ci/strix_quick_gate.sh
is_transient_same_model_retry_error() removes its optional model parameter and excludes timeout errors from same-model retry eligibility. Inline comments clarify that fallback-model evaluation occurs before total budget exhaustion and that same-model retries cover only non-timeout transient failures.
Test harness and case expectations
scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh
Fake Strix dispatch for gemini-timeout-retry-same-model-success is updated so the primary model fails and success is asserted via vertex_ai/fallback-one. Test case expectations for three timeout/fallback scenarios are revised to reflect the new behavior: timeouts now flow to fallback without same-model retry attempts, reducing expected call counts and simplifying model/API-base sequences.

Poem

A timeout's fate, once unclear,
Now takes a different path, my dear,
No retry sameness here—fallback's the way,
The tests align with this new play,
Simpler flows for every day. 🐰✨

I have successfully verified the bug locally and modified scripts/ci/strix_quick_gate.sh to fix the no merge base failure during the PR diff command. This is due to the Github API generating a shallow clone or pull_request_target base branches moving differently from the PR base. By falling back to git diff --name-only "$base_sha..$head_sha" -- when the initial merge-base diff fails, we avoid failing closed. I've committed the changes to fix this issue and will be pushing the commit now.

Self-review done: the timeout change is correct but it broke the Strix gate self-test expectations (Gemini timeout cases). Updated scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh to assert immediate fallback (no same-model timeout retry) and cleaned up scripts/ci/strix_quick_gate.sh; bash scripts/ci/test_strix_quick_gate.sh now passes. Commit: 73ff40a.

Correct this comment to reflect existing provider-specific fallback behavior.

This comment says there is no provider-specific fallback path, but the script does implement provider-specific fallback selection (e.g., Vertex/Gemini). Please align wording to prevent future misreads.

Suggested wording update
-## remaining budget retrying the same slow model. All models have no
-## provider-specific fallback path in this gate, so LLM timeouts trigger
-## a fallback model evaluation directly.
+## remaining budget retrying the same slow model. Timeouts are excluded from
+## same-model retry for every provider, so LLM timeouts trigger direct
+## fallback-model evaluation using each provider's configured fallback list.

Consider renaming test to reflect fallback behavior.

The test name gemini-timeout-retry-same-model-success implies that a same-model retry succeeds, but the test actually verifies that timeouts trigger immediate fallback to vertex_ai/fallback-one instead of retrying gemini/retry-timeout-primary. The expected model sequence "gemini/retry-timeout-primary|vertex_ai/fallback-one" and success message about fallback confirm this.

Consider renaming to something like gemini-timeout-immediate-fallback-despite-retry-config to avoid confusion for future maintainers.

Superseded by the current master after #315 and the existing Bug 14 coverage. This branch is conflicting and its remaining diff weakens the hardened PR changed-file fallback from #315 while changing timeout retry semantics that current coverage already verifies for the Vertex Strix path. Keeping it open would preserve a stale failing Strix PR rather than a mergeable fix.
