Motivation

The outbound transport decision still treats "some proxy variable exists" (outboundProxyConfigured) as proof that this request will ride a proxy. A scheme-mismatched variable (HTTP_PROXY for an https: target), a NO_PROXY match, or a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY therefore still admits benchmark/fake-IP DNS answers, downgrades the validated-address transport to an unpinned fetch, and raises a spurious NO_PROXY error for private providers — reopening the DNS-rebinding window the pinned transport exists to close.

Description

  • Derive a single proxyApplies (scheme-matched effectiveProxyFor result that NO_PROXY does not exempt) and use it for benchmark-address admission, the DNS-failure proxy fallback, the post-resolution transport choice, and the private-network NO_PROXY error.
  • Requests that will not actually ride a proxy now keep the pinned transport, matching the documented "only when this exact host will use the configured outbound proxy" contract.

Tests

  • bun test tests/providers/provider-outbound.test.ts — 24 pass; new regressions assert scheme-mismatched variables and NO_PROXY matches retain the pinned transport, do not admit benchmark addresses, and no longer demand NO_PROXY for private providers.
  • bun test tests/providers/provider-outbound-private-network.test.ts tests/server/proxy-env.test.ts — 44 pass.
  • bun run typecheck — clean.

This PR had never actually run the expensive CI legs — like several others opened the same day, it was waiting on workflow approval, so the checks that looked clean were only the lightweight gates. I approved the run; here is the first real result.

test 4/4 and macos 1/2 fail on a pre-existing case, and it is a genuine contract conflict rather than a defect in the patch:

DestinationDnsResolutionError: provider URL hostname all-proxy-only.invalid could not be resolved
  at resolvePublicAddresses (src/lib/destination-policy.ts:495)
  at async providerOutboundRequest (src/lib/provider-outbound.ts:159)
  at tests/providers/provider-outbound.test.ts

That hostname exists in the suite specifically to pin the opposite of what this change decides. The case asserts that with only ALL_PROXY set, a host that does not resolve locally is still reached, by falling through to configuredOutboundFetch when DNS fails — the if (!proxyConfigured) throw error; branch. Replacing proxyConfigured with proxyApplies removes that fall-through for an http:// or https:// URL whose only proxy variable is ALL_PROXY, because effectiveProxyFor is scheme-matched and returns null there. Your comment states the intent directly: "a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY must not downgrade pinning".

So the question is not whether the patch works. It is which contract wins:

  • An operator who sets only ALL_PROXY expects everything to route through it, including names only the proxy can resolve. That is what the existing case encodes, and it is a real deployment shape.
  • DNS pinning should not be downgraded by a proxy variable that would not actually carry the request. That is what this patch argues, and it is also right as a general principle.

Both cannot hold for a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY with a proxy-only hostname. Deciding that is the work here, and it is a security-boundary decision — DNS pinning falls under the explicit security-review requirement in AGENTS.md — so it should be argued rather than settled by whichever assertion is edited.

If you conclude the existing case is wrong, say why in the PR and change it deliberately, keeping the fall-through for the cases where it is still correct. If you conclude ALL_PROXY should keep admitting proxy-only DNS answers, then proxyApplies needs a third state rather than a boolean: a proxy that carries the request versus a proxy that can resolve for it are different questions, and the current expression answers only the first.

The four new cases you added are good and read correctly; the scheme-mismatch ones in particular pin something that was previously only implied. Leaving this open rather than merging. dev is unaffected.

The test 4/4 / macos 1/2 failure (proxy mode reaches one real proxy, all-proxy-only.invalid) was a real regression from this PR's gating change, now fixed at 479c387:

  • Root cause: proxyApplies is derived from effectiveProxyFor, which never consulted a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY. The e2e fixture proves Bun's native fetch does honour ALL_PROXY=http://… for plain http: targets — the request reaches the proxy — so a request that will ride a proxy was classified as unpinned, and the DestinationDnsResolutionError was rethrown instead of falling back to the proxy transport.
  • Fix: effectiveProxyFor now returns a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY for http: targets on non-Windows platforms. On Windows the native fetch does not consult ALL_PROXY (verified locally: no proxy connection is attempted), so the pinned-transport classification stays correct there. For https: targets the socks5 wrapper remains the only ALL_PROXY route, unchanged.
  • Covered by a new effectiveProxyFor case asserting the platform-dependent result; the e2e proxy-mode test passes locally (51 tests across provider-outbound and socks5-fetch), tsc --noEmit clean.

Author follow-up on the contract question — argued rather than settled by assertion edits.

The current head keeps the existing case exactly where it is true and narrows only the shape where the old contract was unfalsifiable:

  • proxyApplies now counts ALL_PROXY only where the configured fetch will actually carry the request: SOCKS5 via the wrapper on every platform, and a usable http(s):// ALL_PROXY for http: targets on POSIX — which is the all-proxy-only.invalid shape, so that e2e case still passes there unmodified and still exercises "the proxy resolves the name".
  • For https: + non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY, Bun never routes the request through that variable, so the previous fall-through was a retry through the same direct fetch — it could not succeed, and treating the variable as "a proxy can resolve this" also admitted proxy-only/fake-IP DNS answers for a transport that cannot use them. That shape now throws, deliberately.
  • Malformed or non-http(s) values (http://, not a url, ftp:, socks5: in a scheme-matched variable) no longer count as an applicable proxy either.

So no third state: the boolean stays, but it now answers "will carry this request" precisely — which is what both the fake-IP admission gate and the DNS-failure deferral need. The existing case was not wrong; it was under-specified about which ALL_PROXY shapes can carry, and it is preserved exactly where they can.

One corollary to flag rather than silently edit: on Windows, Bun native fetch does not consult ALL_PROXY at all, so the all-proxy-only.invalid shape throws there by design (effectiveProxyFor returns null). If a Windows leg ever runs this e2e fixture, the 200 assertion needs a platform guard. Commits 308a31d..e04dc71 on the current head implement the above; the earlier CI failure ran on the pre-clause head.

A scheme-mismatched proxy variable (HTTP_PROXY for an https: target), a NO_PROXY match, or a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY still admitted benchmark/fake-IP DNS answers, downgraded the validated-address transport to an unpinned fetch, and raised a spurious NO_PROXY error for private providers. Gate every one of those decisions on proxyApplies — a scheme-matched effectiveProxyFor result that NO_PROXY does not exempt — so requests that will not ride a proxy keep the pinned transport.
Bun fetch honours a non-SOCKS ALL_PROXY for plain http: targets on POSIX — the e2e suite proves the request reaches the proxy there — while on Windows it does not consult ALL_PROXY at all. effectiveProxyFor now returns the variable for http: targets off Windows, so proxyApplies is true for a request that will actually ride the proxy; https: targets keep the socks5-wrapper-only route.
A malformed ALL_PROXY such as http:// previously passed the scheme regex, making proxyApplies true with no usable proxy. Parse the value and require an http: or https: protocol.
… too

HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY returned any non-empty value, so a malformed or
non-http(s) value still marked proxyApplies and downgraded DNS pinning
although Bun fetch cannot use it (UnsupportedProxyProtocol or an
unresolvable proxy host). Share the ALL_PROXY usable-URL check across
both paths.

Requesting changes on exact head 375b785b7904294ae0a0998ff8aeaccc1ba0916d.

The scheme/NO_PROXY classification is now much closer to the right contract, but the security comment's “snapshot once before the DNS await” guarantee is not actually preserved on the DNS-failure path. effectiveProxy is captured before resolvePublicAddresses(), yet the catch branch calls:

configuredOutboundFetch(url, { ...init, method, redirect: "manual" })

without the captured proxy. That function re-reads the live proxy environment. If the environment changes while DNS resolution is pending, admission can be decided for one proxy/NO_PROXY state and the request can leave through a different proxy or direct path. The same issue exists because effectiveProxyFor(parsed) and noProxyMatches(parsed) read process.env separately rather than one immutable snapshot.

Capture the relevant upper/lower-case proxy and NO_PROXY values once, derive both effectiveProxy and proxyApplies from that snapshot, and pass the captured proxy explicitly to every proxy transport branch, including DNS-failure fallback. The explicit path must work for both the SOCKS wrapper and Bun's HTTP(S) proxy option. Add a deferred-DNS regression that mutates proxy/NO_PROXY variables between admission and dispatch and proves the actual transport remains the one that was validated.

This is a DNS-pinning/credential-destination boundary, so keep it unmerged until that race and exact-head Cross-platform CI are green.

Superseded by #5264, merged to dev as 8e1fdea1c02ac1754f56b773d0c84c8470953301.

Your request-scoped decision is the shape that landed: pinning and transport are now chosen by whether a proxy actually applies to the request rather than by whether one is configured, with scheme mismatch, NO_PROXY and DNS failure each held by a regression. The branch commit carries Co-authored-by: luvs01, so the contribution is attributed to you.

Closing as superseded rather than stale. The per-provider egress work that builds on this decision is tracked separately in #2894.

The global `proxy` is one value for every upstream, so it cannot express
the split #2894 describes: one gateway must exit through a regional proxy
while another stays direct on the local network. `src/lib/provider-egress.ts`
is the single authority that answers that question for one request, in the
same shape #5087 established for the global decision -- the question is never
"is a proxy configured" but "does a proxy apply to THIS request".

Four states, resolved against the destination:

  absent            inherit the global decision, byte-identical to today
  "direct" / null   never use the global proxy for this provider
  http(s) URL       this provider's own HTTP(S) proxy
  socks5(h) URL     this provider's own SOCKS5 proxy

`providers.<name>.noProxy` is applied to whichever route resolved, so it
carves an exemption out of the provider's own proxy AND out of an inherited
global one. That second case is how a provider exempts a single host without
owning a proxy of its own.

Two deliberate divergences from the issue's sketch. An empty string is
rejected rather than read as a third spelling of DIRECT: a dashboard field
the operator merely cleared must not silently switch a provider from
inheriting the global proxy to refusing it. And a malformed value throws
instead of degrading, because falling back to the global proxy would send a
credential out a route nobody chose while falling back to direct would leave
a restricted network with no exit -- both read as success at the call site.

Direct egress is expressed to the runtime as `proxy: false`, which overrides
HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY and NO_PROXY alike. `undefined`, `null`
and `""` all mean "no option given" and fall back to the environment, so none
of them can express it. `configuredOutboundFetch` had to learn the same
distinction: reading `false` as "no string supplied" fell through to
ALL_PROXY and sent a request pinned to direct egress through the global
SOCKS proxy instead, which would have succeeded by the wrong exit.

Configuration and request time share one definition through
`providerEgressConfigError`, so a value the loader or the dashboard accepts
is one the transport can carry. `proxy` is classified credential-bearing
alongside `apiKey`: a proxy URL routinely embeds `user:password@`, so it
never reaches the dashboard DTO, and nothing derived from it is logged --
not a hash, not a prefix, because a short digest over a known host is a
guessable stand-in for the secret and a durable correlation key.

* feat(proxy): apply the provider route to inference, discovery and quota

Three transport owners now consume the decision instead of re-deriving it.

Inference (`providerFetch`). The route is resolved per request rather than
once per wrapper, because `noProxy` is evaluated against the destination and
two sends through the same executor can legitimately take different exits.
The resolved value reaches the dispatch init, so it survives `dispatchOverride`
and the fresh-connection policy.

Discovery and quota (`providerOutboundRequest`). This is the chokepoint every
`providerOutboundGet`/`Post` caller shares -- provider discovery, the
model-catalog gather, the management provider test and the Ollama show probe.
A provider route replaces the global decision outright rather than combining
with it: an explicit proxy applies even where global NO_PROXY exempts the
host, because the operator named that proxy for that provider and
`providers.<name>.noProxy` is the exemption belonging to that choice. A
provider pinned to `direct` keeps the DNS-pinned transport, which reaches the
peer through node:http and therefore needs nothing from the runtime's proxy
handling -- the one path where direct egress is available by construction.

An explicit proxy is pinned onto the request unconditionally, including
through the DNS-failure degradation. Letting fetch re-infer the route there
would move the request to a different exit at the exact moment local DNS
stopped working, which is when the proxy matters most.

Quota (`vendor-probes-key.ts`). Seventeen probes were bare global fetches,
so a provider pinned to its own proxy still sent its quota probe by the
process-wide route -- reporting a healthy account while inference failed, or
sending the key out an exit the operator did not choose. Each probe already
receives its provider config, so the route was available; only the transport
was wrong.

Where the route cannot be carried it is refused rather than dropped. A
caller-supplied `provider.fetch` executor owns its own routing, so an
explicit route throws instead of running the executor by a contradicting
route. The WebSocket upstream selects its proxy from the process environment
when it dials, so an explicit route serves those turns over HTTP/SSE and says
so once per provider; a transport change nobody asked for is the same class of
silent substitution this batch exists to remove.

The regressions assert which transport carried each request and which proxy
value it was pinned to. Asserting a 200 would pass with the route dropped
entirely, which is the defect, not the fix.

* docs(proxy): document per-provider egress and its uncovered surface

The provider guide gains the two fields and a worked example matching the
issue's real case. The transport inventory records, per request path, whether
a provider route is honoured -- and where it is not, which is the part that
matters: OAuth token exchange and refresh, the OAuth-backed quota probes and
the API-key validation probes all reach fixed vendor endpoints from modules
that hold no provider config, so a provider pinned to its own proxy still
refreshes credentials by the process-wide route. Cursor's HTTP/2 transport,
the coding-agent subprocess providers and the Lab pinned sender are recorded
for the same reason.

The lane document records the egress work, the disposition for the CodeBuddy
and native-wire bundle, and the union-defect sweep.

* fix(proxy): resolve the provider route at the physical send

Adversarial review of the branch found three defects in the first pass.

The route was resolved when the fetch wrapper was built, but a
`dispatchOverride` can rebuild a queued request against a different upstream
host before it leaves -- account reselection moves the regional host for
Copilot, and Anthropic pool rotation rebuilds the request entirely. The
original `dispatchInit` was reused with its now-stale proxy value, so a
host-scoped `noProxy` decision could be inverted and a bearer could leave by
a route the operator excluded. The decision now sits in
`sendWithConnectionPolicy`, against the destination actually being sent to
and around whichever executor was just selected. That is the same boundary
and the same reason as #4992, which that function's own comment already
records for the connection policy.

Refusing every `provider.fetch` as transport-owning was too broad. The xAI
route installs a wrapper on every request that only adds a generated request
id and forwards the init, so an explicit route would have thrown for xAI --
one of the two providers #2894 names. Executors that forward their init are
now marked transparent and carry the route; the mark is opt-in, so an executor
arriving from configuration stays opaque and is still refused. The executor
`providerFetch` returns is marked too, because Cursor hands it back as
`provider.fetch`.

xAI's default executor also fell back to the bare global fetch, which ignores
a socks5 value. A per-provider SOCKS5 route would have sent the request
unproxied while the configuration named a proxy. It now routes through
`configuredOutboundFetch` like every other default.

Two smaller ones: the WebSocket downgrade notice logged a configuration-controlled
provider name unredacted, which this repository treats as potentially
token-shaped everywhere else, and its notice set had no bound.

* fix(proxy): bind the route on native Chat sends and refuse before dispatch

Two more defects from review of the previous commit.

Native Chat builds its own physical send and calls the connection policy with
`activeProvider.fetch ?? execute`. A provider transport wins over the executor
that carries the egress binding, so that send omitted the route entirely --
and since the xAI route now always installs a transport, xAI native Chat would
have followed global routing while its configuration named a proxy, and an
opaque executor would have been invoked instead of refused. The binding now
travels with that send, resolved against the provider the send actually uses,
which matters because reselection can replace it mid-dispatch.

Moving the refusal to the physical send also moved it after
`options.beforeDispatch`, which commits attempt accounting and consumes
admission state. A refusal firing after it would charge an attempt for a send
that never happens, and a throwing hook would mask the egress error with an
unrelated one. The wrapper now fails fast before the hook; the authoritative
decision still happens at the send, against the destination that send uses.

* fix(proxy): decide the route once at the outermost physical boundary

A third review round found that the executor `providerFetch` hands to a
`dispatchOverride` was not marked transparent. Every override selects
`provider.fetch ?? execute`, so for an ordinary provider with no custom
transport that executor IS the selected one -- and an explicit route would
have been refused on every overridden path, after the attempt had already
been recorded by `commitKeyAttemptSend` or `noteProviderAttemptSend`. Only
xAI escaped it, because its own wrapper carries the mark. None of the
existing regressions covered the production-shaped nested send, so two now do.

Marking it alone would have been wrong in the other direction: these calls
nest, and the inner pass would have recomputed the route from the closure's
provider after the override had already decided with the reselected one. The
outermost boundary now decides and marks the init; the inner pass honours the
mark. An override that simply calls the executor still gets a decision rather
than losing the route.

The pre-dispatch fast fail is narrowed to match. With no override, the input
and executor at that point are the final ones, so the full decision is made
before `beforeDispatch`. With an override, only the configured value is
validated, because refusing against a destination the override is about to
replace would reject a request whose real route is fine.

A refusal caused by `noProxy` now names `noProxy` rather than telling the
operator to remove a `proxy` override they never wrote. The provider guide
gained the coverage limits it was missing -- it described the three states
without saying which transports cannot carry them.

* fix(proxy): give the provider egress config fields a declared output type

The two zod field schemas used `z.unknown().superRefine(...)` so the shared
resolver could produce the message, but never narrowed the result. That makes
the parsed provider record carry `proxy: unknown` and `noProxy: unknown`,
which is not assignable to `OcxProviderConfig` -- four errors in
`config-schema.ts`, and a typecheck-based adapter contract test that asserts
zero errors reported one. Both CI failures had this single cause.

They now transform to their declared types, matching the superRefine-plus-transform
idiom the neighbouring field schemas already use. Validation is unchanged and
still delegates to `providerEgressConfigError`, so configuration and request
time keep one definition of a usable value.

The fetch-helpers import boundary test pins the exact runtime-import list for
that file; it gains the two modules this lane added.

* test(proxy): keep credentialed proxy fixtures off the email pattern

The privacy scan reads a URL userinfo pair as an address: `user:pw@host.tld`
looks exactly like `pw@host.tld`. Three fixtures that deliberately carry a
credential to prove it never reaches a log or an error tripped it.

They move to a `.test` host, which the scanner already allows for fixtures and
which the repository uses elsewhere for the same reason. The assertions are
unchanged: the credential must still not appear in the sanitized label, the
described route, or the validation error.

* docs(devlog): record the lane F outcome and the defects each gate caught

Names the exact-head CI evidence, the three route-seam defects adversarial
review caught before CI ran, and the two CI caught after review had cleared
them.

* docs(devlog): describe the credential-fixture defect without reproducing it

The lane document explained why the privacy scan rejected the credentialed
proxy fixtures by quoting the shape that triggered it, which tripped the same
scan on the document. It now describes the shape instead of writing one.
