fix(agent): roll back switch_model() state when client rebuild fails - #33228
Merged
Conversation
Closes #33175. switch_model() in agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py mutated agent.model and agent.provider before rebuilding the client, with no try/except to restore them on failure. If the rebuild raised (bad API key, network error, build_anthropic_client failure, etc.) the agent was left with the new model+provider name paired with the OLD client — producing HTTP 400s like "claude-sonnet-4-6 is not supported on openai-codex" on the next turn. Callers in cli.py, gateway/run.py, and tui_gateway/server.py already catch the exception and warn the user, but the warning was misleading because the swap had partially succeeded; the agent's state was torn. Snapshot every mutated field before the swap, wrap the swap+rebuild block in try/except, and restore the snapshot on failure before re-raising so the caller's warning surfaces. Reported by @amirariff91. Tests cover both branches (chat_completions and anthropic_messages) and the cross-branch case (anthropic -> openai).

Summary
switch_model()now rolls back to the pre-swap state when the client rebuild fails, so the agent isn't left with a new model/provider name paired with the old client.Closes #33175 (reported by @amirariff91).
Root cause
agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py:switch_model()setagent.modelandagent.providerat lines 1370-1371 before rebuilding the client at lines 1387-1438, with no try/except. An exception in the rebuild block (bad API key, network error,build_anthropic_clientfailure, MiniMax OAuth init failure, OpenAI client construction failure) left the agent with the new model+provider name but the OLD client. The next turn hit the mismatched combo and returned HTTP 400 (e.g.claude-sonnet-4-6 is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account).Callers in
cli.py:7421,gateway/run.py:10261,10398, andtui_gateway/server.py:1164already catch the exception and warn the user, but the warning was misleading — the swap had partially succeeded and the agent's state was torn.Changes
agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py— snapshot every field the swap+rebuild can mutate (model,provider,base_url,api_mode,api_key,client,_client_kwargs,_anthropic_client,_anthropic_api_key,_anthropic_base_url,_is_anthropic_oauth,_config_context_length) using a_MISSINGsentinel so genuinely-unset attributes (bare__new__agents in tests) aren't fabricated on rollback. Wrap the swap+rebuild in try/except, restore on failure, re-raise.tests/run_agent/test_switch_model_rollback.py— 4 new tests covering both branches and the cross-branch case.Validation
switch_modelfailure leaves torn stateTest scenarios covered:
build_anthropic_clientraises → anthropic state (_anthropic_client,_anthropic_api_key,_anthropic_base_url) + core state restored
