fix(responses): omit replayed agent_message ciphertext before dispatch - #4498
Merged

Conversation
A routed Responses destination could receive a private `agent_message` item together with ChatGPT-backend ciphertext. Two checks bounded that item and neither covered the gap between them: `hasUnreadableEncryptedAgentTask` asks whether the current worker task is readable and inspects only the tail item, while `normalizeRoutedAgentMessages` asks whether every content part can be lowered onto a public message and forwards the item verbatim when one cannot. An item mixing `input_text` with `encrypted_content` answers "readable" to the first and "not lowerable" to the second, so it passed the guard and reached the provider as ciphertext plus an item type only the Codex backend declares. xAI answered `422 unknown item type "agent_message"` after the bytes were sent. `agentMessageCiphertextIndex` asks the egress question over the whole expanded input, and the request path asks it against the final route, after recovery has had its chance to replace the ciphertext with plaintext. A hit returns HTTP 400 `unforwardable_encrypted_agent_message` with the item index and nothing else from the item. The gate resolves the same wire override the adapter is built from, so it fires only for the raw Responses passthrough on a non-forward destination; translated wires, forward destinations and routes explicitly trusted with `allowEncryptedV2AgentTasks` are unchanged, as is the tail NEW_TASK envelope and its opt-in recovery.

When an accepted loose agent_message part is shaped as {type: "input_text", encrypted_content: <Fernet token>}, this detector returns -1 because it checks encrypted_content only when type is exactly encrypted_content. normalizeRoutedAgentMessages accepts the part based only on its input_text discriminator and copies every field into the public message (src/adapters/routed-agent-messages.ts lines 31–42), so a non-forward Responses route still dispatches the backend ciphertext. Unknown part types with ciphertext in text have the same bypass. Inspect ciphertext-bearing properties independently of the part discriminator and cover these accepted loose shapes with a regression test. Repository review guidance treats secret exposure as release-blocking.

Document the refusal in the provider guide and adapter reference.
docs-site/AGENTS.md:16-17 requires updates to directly affected pages and allows links to stable canonical policy. docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/proxy-formats.md:672-673,693-699 already documents the HTTP 400 response, unforwardable_encrypted_agent_message, item_index, and the forward, trusted-route, and translated-wire exceptions. Therefore, the statement that only internal structure/ documents changed is incorrect.

Add concise, page-specific guidance or links to the canonical section. Cover the final routed openai-responses scope, non-forward key/OAuth behavior, forward and trusted-route exclusions, and ciphertext-safe item_index reporting.

The 400 this replaces was wrong. CI caught it: `responses-opaque-blob-recovery` proves the project already repairs this shape, reactively — an undecryptable part becomes `[encrypted content omitted]`, which leaves the item lowerable — and failing the request closed killed that recovery instead of completing it. A destination that cannot accept the private item under any circumstances was never going to answer the request, so the round trip only served to send the ciphertext. Apply the same repair before dispatch instead: the provider never sees the ciphertext or the private item, the readable half of the item survives, and the conversation continues rather than ending on a 400. Only backend-minted Fernet ciphertext qualifies, in an encrypted slot, split across consecutive slots, or embedded in text or string content. Every other opaque payload keeps the reactive opaque-blob recovery, which can still rescue a destination that merely failed to decrypt something it was entitled to read — that distinction is what keeps the existing recovery suite meaningful. Combo attempts are excluded because their targets share one body object and a native target in the same combo can still read what this would erase.

Four maintainer review findings, two of them the same class of defect as the one this branch fixes. Combo children were skipped, on the belief that combo targets share one body object. They do not: concreteComboRequestBody structuredClones the body per target, so a sibling's repair is invisible to a child and a target resolving to a routed Responses wire still sent Fernet. Children now run the repair on their own clone, against their own concrete route. The matcher failed open on near-miss ciphertext. Requiring a canonical Fernet token meant a truncated token, a standard-base64 blob carrying + or /, an unexpected version byte, a run split across slots, or a run past the 32-part or 2 MiB recovery limits each kept the item and forwarded the bytes — the original #4454 path reached by a slightly different payload. Every encrypted_content slot in an item the adapter cannot lower is now treated as ciphertext, and free text is judged by the same looksLikeBackendCiphertext heuristic the sanitizer already trusts. Whether ChatGPT ever emits non-urlsafe or non-Fernet agent-task ciphertext no longer has to be answered. The exemption was authMode === "forward", which describes how this proxy treats credentials rather than who answers. A noncanonical forward gateway is somebody else's server and received the ciphertext. Only isCanonicalOpenAiForwardProvider is exempt now, since it alone minted these bytes and can read them. Tests for the two claimed matcher shapes that had none — a run split across consecutive encrypted slots, and a token embedded in a text part — plus the combo child, the noncanonical forward gateway, and three near-miss blobs. The widened matcher reaches the opaque-blob suite's agent-message fixture, which is Fernet-shaped but not structurally valid. Its two agent-message tests now assert the pre-dispatch repair and that no blob appears in any outbound body; the five that used that fixture as a vehicle for error-event, flat-error and repeated-failure machinery move to the function-output fixture, which still carries a blob and still exercises the reactive path.
…coverage Round three. The widened matcher fixed one direction and broke the other: it judged free text by looksLikeBackendCiphertext, which is length >= 64 over a character class that a SHA-256 digest matches exactly at 64 characters. A SHA-512 digest, a long key, and adjacent short encoded fragments joined to 64 or more matched too, so a child that printed any of them had it replaced with [encrypted content omitted] while the docs claimed nothing readable was lost. The asymmetry is the fix, as review pointed out. An encrypted_content slot holds ciphertext by definition and keeps the always-strip behavior. A text part does not, so it is matched strictly: embedded runs that validate as Fernet, or a whole slot with the Fernet wire shape -- g prefix, base64url alphabet, length at least 100 and divisible by four. Adjacent fragments are joined before that test, so a token split across text slots is still caught, while two ordinary encoded fragments no longer become a marker by being adjacent. A 64-character hex digest, a SHA-512 digest and an sk-proj key now survive, with a test each. Coverage, fixed rather than recorded. prepareOpaqueBlobRecovery's agent_message arm is unreachable for non-canonical destinations by construction but still live for the canonical Codex backend, which is the one that minted the bytes and so is the one that can fail to decrypt them. Two integration tests now exercise it there and restore both assertions the fixture migration dropped: recoveryKinds containing opaque-blob-rejection on the JSON path, and a streamed decrypt failure staying hidden from the client. They also pin the exemption itself -- the blob reaches that destination on the first send and only the post-rejection repair takes it back off the wire.

…crypted-agent-message-egress Lane I4 of the contributor carry train, released from its security-review hold. Fixes lidge-jun#4454 (reported by 321sssrt-bit): a routed Responses destination could receive Codex's private agent_message item together with ChatGPT-backend ciphertext and reject the whole request. Two checks bounded that item and neither covered the gap between them — hasUnreadableEncryptedAgentTask inspects only the tail and reports readable as soon as any plaintext survives, while normalizeRoutedAgentMessages forwards the private item verbatim when a part cannot be lowered. An item mixing input_text with encrypted_content answered readable to the first and not-lowerable to the second. stripAgentMessageCiphertextInPlace now applies the existing repair before dispatch instead of reactively after a 422. Maintainer security review took three rounds and each one changed the code. Round one found that combo children bypassed the repair on their own structuredClone, that the matcher required a canonical Fernet token so near-miss ciphertext fell straight back into the original defect, and that exempting authMode === "forward" handed the ciphertext to any noncanonical forward gateway. Round two confirmed those closed but found the widened matcher had traded fail-open for data loss: looksLikeBackendCiphertext is length >= 64 over a character class that a SHA-256 digest matches exactly, so a digest a child deliberately printed would have been replaced with a marker. The landed shape keeps the two slot kinds asymmetric, which is what makes both halves correct. An encrypted_content slot carries ciphertext by definition and is stripped whatever it holds. A text part carries no such guarantee and is matched strictly: embedded runs that validate as Fernet, or a whole slot with the Fernet wire shape. The canonical Codex backend still receives the private item and its ciphertext verbatim, since it is the only destination that minted those bytes and can read them. Round three also restored the two canonical-path assertions an earlier fixture migration had dropped, so the reactive agent_message recovery arm is covered at integration level again rather than at unit level only. Cross-platform CI run 34754905195 concluded success on be9060d, the exact head merged here.

Summary
A routed Responses destination could receive Codex's private
agent_messageitem together with ChatGPT-backend ciphertext, and then reject the whole request. Two checks bound that item, and neither covered the gap between them.hasUnreadableEncryptedAgentTaskasks whether the current worker task can be read. It inspects only the tail item and reports readable the moment any plaintext survives the routing envelope.normalizeRoutedAgentMessagesasks whether every content part can be lowered onto a publicmessage, and forwards the private item verbatim when one cannot, deferring to that guard. Anagent_messagemixinginput_textwithencrypted_contentanswers "readable" to the first question and "not lowerable" to the second, so it passed the guard, kept its private type through the raw Responses passthrough, and left the process as backend ciphertext plus an item type only the Codex backend declares. xAI replied422 unknown item type "agent_message"— after the bytes had already been sent, and again on every later turn of that thread.Position is incidental. A replayed sub-agent result sits mid-history, where a tail-only scan cannot see it, which is how the reporter hit it; the tail is exposed the same way once it is mixed. Both are the same defect.
The fix applies a repair this repository already has.
prepareOpaqueBlobRecoveryreplaces an undecryptable part with[encrypted content omitted], which leaves the item lowerable, and it ran after an upstream rejection. A destination that cannot accept the private item under any circumstances was never going to answer that request, so the round trip only served to send the ciphertext.stripAgentMessageCiphertextInPlacenow applies the same repair before dispatch, against the final route, afterexpandPreviousResponseInput, after the sanitizer has rewritten plaintext parked in encrypted slots, and after encrypted-task recovery has had its chance to produce real plaintext instead of a marker. The provider never sees the ciphertext or the private item, the readable half of the item survives, and the conversation continues.The two kinds of slot are judged differently, because they carry different guarantees. An
encrypted_contentslot holds ciphertext by definition, so it is stripped whatever it holds: demanding a well-formed token there would reopen this defect one payload later, since a truncated token, a standard-base64 blob carrying+or/, an unexpected version byte, or a run past the 32-part or 2 MiB recovery limits would each keep the item and forward the bytes. Whether ChatGPT ever emits non-urlsafe or non-Fernet agent-task ciphertext therefore does not have to be settled. A text part carries no such guarantee, so it is matched strictly — embedded runs that validate as Fernet, or a whole slot with the Fernet wire shape: thegprefix, the base64url alphabet, and a length of at least 100 divisible by four. Adjacent fragments are joined before that test, so a token split across text slots is still caught.looksLikeBackendCiphertextis deliberately not used on text, because it is length ≥ 64 over a character class that a SHA-256 digest matches exactly at 64 characters; replacing a digest a child deliberately printed would delete readable content to protect bytes that were never secret.Scope. The repair resolves the same wire override the adapter is built from, so it runs for
openai-responseswhenever the destination is not the canonical Codex backend. That wire resolution decides the reported destination, where the provider row names the Chat wire and a registry model default movesgrok-4.6onto Responses for an OAuth caller.authMode: "forward"is deliberately not the exemption test: it describes how this proxy treats credentials, not who answers, so a forward-configured gateway at another origin is repaired like any third party, and onlyisCanonicalOpenAiForwardProvideris exempt. Combo children run the repair themselves, becauseconcreteComboRequestBodygives each target its ownstructuredCloneand its own concrete route. Untouched: explicitly trustedallowEncryptedV2AgentTasksroutes; translated Chat and Anthropic wires, whereinputContentPartsdrops an encrypted part rather than forwarding it; and other item types — reasoning and function-output blobs keep the reactive opaque-blob recovery, which still rescues a destination that merely failed to decrypt something it was entitled to read.What is deliberately unchanged. Nothing here decrypts. The tail NEW_TASK envelope keeps
unreadable_encrypted_agent_taskand its opt-in recovery, so an unreadable current task still fails closed rather than reaching a child with a marker where its assignment should be. Anagent_messagecarrying unknown part types but no ciphertext still reaches the wire unchanged and still draws the destination's own 422 — a compatibility gap, not an egress one. The empty-content edge the reporter noted is also untouched:tests/adapters/routed-agent-messages.test.tsdeliberately asserts that shape is preserved. The native/responses/compactpath forwards its body directly, butsupportsNativeResponsesCompactEndpointrestricts it to OpenAI-operated backends, so it is not a third-party egress.Relationship to #3661. Distinct defect, adjacent code. #3661 is about the tail NEW_TASK envelope where the guard does fire and recovery is too strict or too fragile to rescue it. This is about items where the guard never fires at all. Recovery admission is unchanged and this PR claims nothing against #3661.
One behavior change reaches past the reported array shape: an
agent_messagewhosecontentis a bare string of ciphertext.hasUnreadableEncryptedAgentTaskreports it readable (unchanged, and a test pins that), and the xAI lowering path would have forwarded it as prose. #3021 saw exactly that shape arrive from a delegated reply. Same bytes, same marker; called out because it is not the shape #4454 describes.Reported by @321sssrt-bit, who also traced the call path and proposed the fix location in the issue.
Closes #4454

Its two agent-message tests now assert the pre-dispatch repair and that no blob appears in any outbound body; seven that used that fixture as a vehicle for error-event, flat-error and repeated-failure machinery move to the function-output fixture, which still carries a blob and still exercises the reactive path unchanged.Checklist
History on this branch is kept unrewritten across four commits, so each review round is visible: a fail-closed 400 that hosted CI disproved, the pre-dispatch repair that replaced it, the widened matcher and narrowed exemption from the first review, and the strict free-text matcher and restored canonical coverage from the second.
