Summary

  • Defines DynamoError as the shared transport-independent error contract: canonical class and reason, optional bounded private diagnostic, and optional explicitly safe public details.
  • Preserves mixed-version compatibility by retaining compatible legacy subtypes, always emitting the legacy message field, and deriving semantic defaults for legacy payloads.
  • Fails closed when class and reason disagree, so malformed identities cannot select client-visible status or details.
  • Moves route-span, retry, migration, and backend-adapter consumers onto the same semantic classification.

Architecture

Backend components classify failures once. DynamoError carries that semantic identity across process boundaries without choosing an HTTP status. Protocol adapters in the stacked frontend PR own the final HTTP and stream representation.

This separation keeps retry and observability decisions stable across transports while allowing OpenAI, Anthropic, and other adapters to render the same failure according to their protocol.

Stack

This is the base PR. #14396 builds on it with frontend HTTP policy, protocol renderers, stream-terminal handling, and failure metrics.

Review guide

  • Start with lib/runtime/src/error.rs for the schema, catalog, normalization, and wire compatibility.
  • Then review the route-span, backend adapter, migration, and retry consumers.
  • Pay particular attention to same-version and mixed-version subtype round trips.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change replaces legacy error classification with canonical semantic errors. HTTP services now sanitize responses, preserve semantic identities in streams, record terminal failure metrics, and use semantic error chains for migration decisions.

Changes

Semantic error platform

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime error contract and classification
lib/runtime/src/error.rs, lib/runtime/src/metrics/prometheus_names.rs, lib/runtime/src/pipeline/network/egress/route_span.rs, lib/bindings/python/src/dynamo/prometheus_names.py, lib/backend-common/src/adapter.rs
Adds ErrorClass, validated reasons, bounded diagnostics, public details, compatibility aliases, tracing mappings, metric names, and updated error expectations.
HTTP dispositions and failure metrics
lib/llm/src/http/service/error.rs, lib/llm/src/http/service/metrics.rs
Centralizes sanitized HTTP actions, canonical chain lookup, SSE identity rendering, cancellation handling, and terminal failure metrics.
OpenAI semantic responses and streaming
lib/llm/src/http/service/openai.rs
Classifies local and backend failures, sanitizes messages, preserves semantic stream errors, coordinates terminal events, and updates coverage.
Anthropic semantic responses and streaming
lib/llm/src/http/service/anthropic.rs, lib/llm/src/protocols/anthropic/stream_converter.rs
Classifies Anthropic failures, preserves semantic streaming bodies, suppresses diagnostics, handles cancellation, and supports caller-provided error bodies.
Streaming disconnect and terminal delivery
lib/llm/src/http/service/disconnect.rs
Stores semantic stream failures, emits sanitized SSE errors, monitors activity and error signals, and records delivered failures.
Semantic migration decisions
lib/llm/src/migration.rs
Uses semantic error chains for migration eligibility, retry handling, blocking causes, and selected migration reasons.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 06a3d

The runtime crate may not compile with the current Serde enum declaration. Streaming overload responses also lose their retryable service-unavailable identity. Fix these before merge.

In `@lib/llm/src/http/service/disconnect.rs`:
- Around line 370-384: Update the error_type match in the status-to-error
mapping to guard against status.as_u16() matching overload_status_code(),
returning "service_unavailable" for the configured capacity-exhaustion response.
Add this guard without treating overload_status_code() as a match pattern, and
preserve the existing mappings and fallback behavior for other statuses.

In `@lib/runtime/src/error.rs`:
- Around line 86-87: Fix the ErrorClass deserialization definition by removing
the invalid #[serde(other)] usage under its externally tagged representation.
Implement manual deserialization or deserialize the class string and map
unrecognized values to ErrorClass::Internal, while preserving existing mappings
for known variants.
