Summary

Provider error rules that tested bare digits against the message text now accept a number only where it is written as an HTTP status. Found while reviewing #1902 and left out of scope there.

An unrelated number in a vendor message (a validation text naming "(429)", an id, a token count) was classified as a rate limit, an auth failure, a missing model or a quota stop. The shared 5xx rule in DEFAULT_ERROR_RULES already required a status-shaped position; the provider overrides did not.

What changes

errorClassifier.ts gains messageNamesStatus(message, status), true only when the number is written as a status: at the start of the text (429 {...}), after status, status code or HTTP, or next to error in either order, with a bounded gap that holds no digit. It replaces the bare digits in:

Provider Rules
anthropic/client.ts 429 rate limit
azureOpenai.ts 401 auth (message text unchanged)
googleVertex/client.ts 429 rate limit; 500/502/503/504
nvidiaNim/client.ts 401, 429, 404, 403

Every rule keeps its ctx.statusCode check and its word matches (rate limit, Unauthorized, quota, model_not_found, server error, ...). Messages and error classes for a real status are unchanged.

Tests

test:error-classification-e2e drives NeuroLink.generate() against local servers:

  • For NIM (four codes), Anthropic and Azure, a 400 whose text carries an unrelated number in the guarded range must fall through to the generic error, not to the provider's override. These six cases fail without the change and pass with it.
  • For the same providers, a 400 whose text names the status (HTTP 429, status code 401, a leading 401 ...) must still get the override. These pass both ways, which is the point: real statuses keep their classification.

Gates, one at a time: build, check, lint, check:tools-tests, check:deps, test:provider-structure, test:model-manifests, test:error-classification-e2e (205), test:error-classifier-contract (44), test:provider-descriptors (70), and the Bedrock (13), Anthropic (14) and Vertex (16) loop characterizations. The Vertex suite failed one wall-clock case in the gates run while the machine was busy (a tool-bound timing case, not status parsing) and passed 16 of 16 when run again on its own.

Not done

  • Google Vertex has the same change but no end-to-end case: it cannot be driven through a local server in this suite.
  • An Anthropic case for a leading 429 ... was dropped: the Anthropic SDK puts the real HTTP status first (400 {...}), so that shape only occurs with a real 429, which the status check already handles.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved error reporting across AI providers by recognizing status codes only when they appear in an HTTP-like context, rather than when the same digits occur incidentally in a message.
    • Refined classification of rate limits, authentication failures, server errors, invalid models, and quota errors. Explicit HTTP status codes and clearly stated statuses continue to receive the appropriate classification.

…any three digits

Several providers' own error rules tested bare digits against the message,
so an unrelated number in a vendor text (a validation message naming
"(429)", an id, a token count) classified a 400 as a rate limit, an auth
failure, a missing model or a quota stop. The shared 5xx rule in
DEFAULT_ERROR_RULES already required a status-shaped position; the overrides
did not.

errorClassifier gains messageNamesStatus(message, status), true only when the
number is written as a status: at the start of the text ("429 {...}"), after
"status", "status code" or "HTTP", or next to "error" in either order, with a
bounded gap that holds no digit. It replaces the bare digits in:

- anthropic: the 429 rate-limit rule
- azureOpenai: the 401 auth rule (its message text is unchanged)
- googleVertex: the 429 rate-limit rule and the 500/502/503/504 rule
- nvidiaNim: the 401, 429, 404 and 403 rules

Every rule keeps its existing statusCode check and its existing word matches
(rate limit, Unauthorized, quota, model_not_found, server error, ...), and
every message text and class is unchanged for a real status.

Not done: Google Vertex has the same change but no end-to-end case, because it
cannot be driven through a local server in the error-classification suite.

Verification: error-classification-e2e fails on the new "unrelated number" cases
without the change and passes with it; the "named status" cases (a 400 whose
text says "HTTP 429", "status code 401", a leading "401 ...") pass both ways, so
real statuses keep their classification. Gates are listed in the pull request.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Provider error classification now uses status-aware message matching for selected status codes. End-to-end cases cover unrelated status digits and messages that identify a status.

Changes

Provider error status matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Status-aware message matcher
src/lib/utils/errorClassifier.ts
Added messageNamesStatus to validate status values and match them in defined HTTP-like message contexts.

Updated provider error rules to use status-aware matching. Added end-to-end cases for unrelated status digits and status-shaped messages.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: pdogra1299

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2fced

The Vertex change lacks targeted regression coverage. Adding it would improve confidence, but the coverage gap alone does not prevent merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2fced

The change reduces false error classifications without changing permissions, credentials, or fallback destination selection. Because error classes influence retry and failover, some behavior changes beyond displayed messages. Remaining uncertainty concerns vendor message compatibility, especially status-less errors and Google Vertex.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The direct production scope is four provider formatters. Changed error categories can propagate into retry eligibility and pool or model-chain progression, but the helper does not select destinations or grant tool authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — Provider or relay text can still influence classifications when it explicitly names a status, including when the transport status differs. This message-to-policy path predates the PR and is narrowed rather than introduced. The added regression cases intentionally preserve named-status classification for HTTP 400 responses.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — In the checked consumers, pool targets remain selected from pool members and provider creation still resolves existing credentials. Explicit fallback targets remain callback- or model-chain-owned. The PR does not modify these selection or credential-resolution paths.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Existing containment controls remain: pool attempts are bounded and abort-aware, provider/model/region options are restored after success or failure, and orchestrated fallback clones options, removes recursive fallback hooks, and terminates on success, rejected progression, or exhaustion.

Add direct Vertex cases for the changed text rules.

The existing cases cover a leading 429 and overloaded, but not incidental status digits or a nested JSON 503. These direct formatter checks cover distinct paths without a local server, and their message assertions match the Vertex formatter’s output.

#1920 made the provider error rules accept a status number from the
message text only where it is written as a status, and gave the NIM,
Anthropic and Azure rules end-to-end cases. It changed two Vertex rules
too, the 429 rate limit and the 500/502/503/504 server error, and left
them without a case: the suite's Vertex section only called
formatProviderError() on hand-built errors, because Vertex in
project/location mode authenticates through ADC and cannot be pointed
at a local server.

Vertex Express Mode (an API key with no project or location) has no
token exchange, so the real @google/genai client can be pointed at the
suite's mock server through credentials.vertex.{apiKey,baseURL}, the
hook seven other suites in test/ already use. A new section drives
NeuroLink.generate() that way.

- 27 end-to-end cases for those two rules. Seven answer
  a 400 whose text holds the digits of a status where none is written (a
  limit in parentheses, a request id, a count that contains them) and
  must not become a rate limit or a server error. Twenty are controls
  that classified before the change and must still: a 400 whose text
  names the status, a 400 with a named phrase and no number, and a real
  429, 502 or 503. Two comments that said Vertex cannot be driven
  through a local server now say where it can be.

Not done:
- Project/location (ADC) mode is still not driven end to end; the four
  direct formatProviderError() cases in the suite are unchanged.
- stream() and Claude-on-Vertex are not driven here; they reach the same
  two rules through the same formatProviderError().
- The CI weight of this suite (test:error-classification-e2e@71 in
  ci.yml) is not updated; the four real-status cases add about 20 s.

Verification: with the pre-#1920 bare-digit patterns put back in the two
Vertex rules and the package rebuilt, the seven unrelated-number cases
fail and the other 225 cases pass; with the source restored and rebuilt,
232/232 pass. Run and passing on the committed tree: check, lint,
check:tools-tests, check:test-parse, check:deps, test:provider-structure,
test:model-manifests, test:error-classification-e2e and
test:error-classifier-contract.
