fix(server): retain raised inbound body admission through HTTP lifetime

[luvs01]

Summary

Current head: 996d7021a2444caec9b39fd86898c17efe3a7a57 (tree 613d38df90e2a63612ca436188e91085f27103b1) - a maintainer merge of dev tip 2f025814f onto e5f4b6ca9 (which integrated dev through 6d19a07369f2); the PR-side tree is unchanged by that merge.

• Keep the admission lease while the request remains live. The new src/server/inbound-body-admission.ts is invoked from runAdmittedHttpTurn after authentication/origin checks and before body reading. A raised limit reserves its full allowance from a process-wide 512 MiB budget through upload, parsing, downstream awaits, and response EOF/error or settled cancellation. Returning parsed JSON or response headers does not release it. A pending read resolving as EOF during asynchronous cancellation cannot release the lease early. The outer response wrapper preserves chunks/metadata and has no eager pull.
• Preserve retryable overload across protocols. Capacity refusal happens before Chat/Claude parsers can wrap it as 400: HTTP 503, Retry-After: 1, code server_busy; Messages/count_tokens receive an Anthropic error/overloaded_error envelope. The HTTP owner applies receiving-listener CORS and records a synthetic local refusal without reading or logging request contents. Explicit oversized declarations and existing cancellation paths retain their original handling.
• Preserve current upstream behavior outside this gate. request-decompress.ts is byte-for-byte unchanged, including Buffer.byteLength and normalized JSON.stringify(parsed) accounting. Existing configurable limits for images, search and count_tokens remain supported. Direct internal translation/combo reads share their HTTP owner's lease; management, audio, context relay and WebSocket limits are unchanged.

Scope/trade-off: the gate activates only above the default 256 MiB per-request limit. Every covered HTTP request then reserves the full configured allowance, including small bodies, so these requests serialize. Default/lower-limit concurrency is unchanged. This is an admission-allowance budget, not a 512 MiB RSS/heap guarantee or a bound on retained application state beyond the HTTP lifetime.

Tests are added to the already-registered tests/server/server-request-body-size.test.ts; no test-layout changes or workflow changes are needed. Architecture and user-facing admission documentation are included. This does not merge or close the source fork PR.

Verification

Executed locally, with explicit limits:

• 38 new lifecycle/protocol regression cases passed under Node v22.16.0, after TypeScript 5.8.3 transpilation of the actual new helper and the unchanged upstream reader. The test bodies were extracted verbatim from the committed Bun test section; only runner imports were adapted to Node's test runner. This is isolated Web-stream/reader validation, not execution of the repository's Bun test suite.
• All four deliberate mutations produced failing tests: removing admission, releasing at response-header return, removing the cancellation-race guards, and changing 503 to 400. Removing the cancellation guards specifically fails both slow-cancellation cases, with 36 passing and 2 failing cases.
• Syntax/transpilation checks passed for all three changed TypeScript files. git diff --cached --check passed against a reconstructed partial baseline whose original files were verified against upstream Git blob IDs. The uploaded implementation/test blob IDs match the local validated files.

Verified in CI:

• Cross-platform CI run 35064400835 (diagnostic run 35064400835, contributor fork Actions) was green on the prior head d3bf620c. On the current head e5f4b6ca9 (a dev-merge refresh only), dispatch run 35218155592 (diagnostic run 35218155592, contributor fork Actions) completed with every lane green except macos 2/2 (one timing-sensitive codebuddy stall test, 328 ms — unrelated to this diff; failed-job rerun requested) and the known macos control 30-minute dispatch cap. Service-lifecycle run 35218130545 is green on this exact head, with all 26 jobs passing, including the real-server integration case across all eight HTTP routes. One Windows shard needed a rerun for an unrelated launcher-spawn timeout.
• The Bun suites, repository typecheck, privacy scan, structure checks and documentation build ran in that CI run, and locally 102 tests / 371 assertions pass with typecheck, the structure and privacy gates and the file-size ratchet. No production load or RSS measurement is claimed.
• The admitted call site now lives in inbound-body-admission.ts so the server facade does not grow, which keeps the file-size ratchet green. Maintainer security review is still requested as part of normal review.

Recommended focused validation on the published head:

bun test tests/server/server-request-body-size.test.ts tests/usage/request-decompress.test.ts --timeout 30000
bun run typecheck
bun run privacy:scan
bun run structure:check
bun run test:changed
(cd docs-site && bun install --frozen-lockfile && bun run build)

No workflow approval, merge, deployment, live credential use, or CI guard relaxation is included.

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. Refusal reads and logs no request content.

Remaining gates: fork CI run 35263072334 (diagnostic run 35263072334, contributor fork Actions) in progress on 996d7021a; the macos-control 30-minute dispatch cap is a known workflow limitation, not a PR signal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added configurable admission control for inbound JSON requests, with limits from 1–512 MiB.
  • Requests exceeding the shared 512 MiB capacity now receive protocol-appropriate HTTP 503 responses with retry guidance.
  • Capacity remains reserved through processing and response delivery, then releases after completion, errors, or cancellation.
  • Existing size limits, compression handling, authentication, origin checks, and endpoint-specific behavior remain supported.

• Documentation

  • Added reference documentation covering configuration, affected routes, limits, exclusions, and admission behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds process-wide admission for configured inbound JSON routes when maxInboundBodyBytes exceeds 256 MiB. It reserves capacity through response completion, returns protocol-specific 503 responses when unavailable, integrates admission into HTTP turns, documents the contract, and adds regression tests.

이 PR은 maxInboundBodyBytes를 기본 한도보다 올려 둔 POST JSON 라우트에서, 올린 한도만큼을 프로세스 전역 예산(512 MiB = MAX_CONFIGURABLE)에서 예약하고, 본문 읽기·파싱·다운스트림 await·응답 EOF/에러/취소가 끝날 때까지 예약을 붙잡아 둡니다. 지금 dev의 runAdmittedHttpTurn(src/server/index.ts)는 워크플로/턴 리스는 있지만, raised body에 대한 동시 합산 용량 게이트는 없습니다. 큰 업로드 여러 개가 한꺼번에 들어오면 읽기 한도 안에서도 RSS가 한꺼번에 커질 수 있습니다. 새 inbound-body-admission.ts의 withRaisedInboundBodyAdmission은 auth/origin 이후·body 읽기 전에만 호출되고, 기본 한도 이하거나 비대상 라우트는 바로 work()로 통과합니다. Content-Length가 이미 max를 넘으면 기존 413 경로에 맡기고, 예산 부족 시 본문을 cancel한 뒤 503 server_busy(Anthropic 경로는 overloaded_error) + Retry-After:1 을 줍니다. retainUntilResponseSettles가 응답 바디를 감싸 예약을 늦게 풀어, 헤더만 나가자마자 예산을 놓치는 구멍을 막습니다. draft입니다.

src/server/index.ts를 건드리지만 모놀리스 재조립이 아니라 admitted HTTP 경계에 한 줄 래퍼를 넣는 수준이라 close-don't-rebase 대상은 아닙니다. markLocalRequestLogRefusal로 refusal 로그를 남기는 연결도 현재 request-log API와 맞습니다. 테스트가 두껍고(약 351줄 추가) docs-site reference도 있습니다.

inbound-body-admission.ts configurableJsonRoutes - responses/chat/messages/images/search/count_tokens만. management/audio/WS는 의도적으로 제외. 새 JSON 라우트 추가 시 Set 누락 위험이 있음.
retainUntilResponseSettles - cancel 중 pending read가 EOF로 settle될 수 있어 cancelling 플래그로 pull이 release를 훔치지 않게 함. 바깥 HTTP 래퍼라 내부 relay marker를 소비하지 않는다는 주석이 중요.
예약 단위 - “한도 전액”을 예약하지 실제 Content-Length만큼이 아님. 작은 요청이 raised 한도만 켜져 있어도 512MiB 예산을 빨리 소모할 수 있음. 의도(worst-case)인지 확인 필요.
index.ts 훅 위치 - work(lease)를 감싸므로 리스 수명과 맞음. CORS/refusalLog 경로는 onRefusal에서 withCors.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

• raised 한도 전액 예약 vs Content-Length/실측 예약.
• 새 JSON 라우트 추가 시 Set을 강제하는 lint/테스트가 필요한지.
• draft CI 범위와 #4751과의 랜딩 순서(독립이면 병행 가능).

너의 추천
draft 해제 후 tip CI 통과 확인 → KEEP → 머지. 전액 예약은 보수적이라 우선 유지하고, 503이 잦으면 Content-Length 기반 예약을 후속 PR로 받으세요. 지금은 KEEP.
