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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5897f

The PR adds configurable API routing, fallback handling, and automatic rate-limit recovery, but it can send credentials over insecure endpoints, mishandle incompatible provider settings, alter benchmark judging behavior broadly, and include incomplete benchmark answers; the accompanying automatic-capture design also lacks important authorization, privacy, and recovery safeguards. These issues can expose credentials or invalidate results, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Inline comments:
In `@bench/longmemeval/phase4/phase4_run.py`:
- Around line 195-198: Update argument validation in the CLI entry flow before
key selection to reject any combination of an Anthropic provider with
api_base_url. Ensure the same validation covers the corresponding command paths
near the key-selection logic, while preserving valid OpenAI-compatible
custom-endpoint usage.
- Around line 251-252: Update the judge invocation in the phase4 runner so
max_tokens remains 10 by default, increasing it to 50 only when the compatible
DeepSeek V4 Pro mode or an explicit opt-in is selected. Preserve the existing
chat call and provider/model arguments while ensuring standard providers retain
the documented budget.
- Around line 145-146: Validate api_base_url before constructing the request URL
in the phase4 request flow, rejecting non-HTTPS values by default. Allow HTTP
only for loopback hosts when an explicit development opt-in is enabled, then
preserve the existing base normalization and _post call for accepted URLs.
- Around line 103-114: The HTTP 429 retry handling should prioritize the
HTTPError’s Retry-After header, parsing either seconds or an HTTP-date and
capping the resulting delay before sleeping. Use the GoUsageLimitError
reset-message parser only when the header is unavailable or invalid, and extend
that parser to support day, hour, and minute intervals while preserving
exponential backoff as the final fallback.

In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-17-autonomous-memory-capture-design.md`:
- Around line 74-77: Bound the existing project-memory context used to build
userContent in the sampling call, using a relevant subset or explicit byte/token
limit alongside max_transcript_bytes. Ensure oversized combined context is not
sampled, and leave the cursor unchanged when the sampling input cannot fit;
preserve the existing deduplication behavior for memories that remain included.
- Around line 78-81: Update the capture configuration validation to require
capture.confidence_threshold and capture.importance_threshold within [0,1], and
require max_transcript_bytes to be greater than zero before enabling capture.
Preserve the existing candidate clamping and confidence-gate behavior, and
reject or disable invalid configurations to maintain the no-blind-writes
guarantee.
- Around line 79-85: Update the autonomous memory capture design to define
privacy controls before enabling automatic capture by default: keep capture
disabled by default unless the design specifies secret/PII redaction, retention
limits, deletion support, and a user-visible review mechanism. Apply the same
requirement to the corresponding configuration section.
- Around line 156-158: Update the memory extraction flow to delimit the
transcript slice as untrusted data alongside the existing-memory block, and
instruct the sampler to ignore instructions from both inputs. Apply
sensitive-content filtering to extracted memories before calling Upsert, while
preserving the existing injection delimiter guard.
- Line 168: Update the fenced ASCII diagram in the autonomous memory capture
design document to specify the text language by changing its opening fence to
use text, while leaving the diagram content unchanged.
- Around line 236-238: Update the Stop hook specification and its test sequence
to distinguish the guarded continuation from the later no-save turn: the first
fire should emit additionalContext, the stop_hook_active continuation should
silently pass through, and only the subsequent no-save fire should return
decision:block. Replace the ambiguous “block fallback on the second fire”
wording with this explicit sequence.
- Around line 71-73: Clarify the bounded-slice design to define the capture
cursor in original transcript-file bytes: advance it only after fully read JSONL
records, and retry a partial final record on the next capture. Ensure
tool-result elision affects emitted output size only and cannot cause transcript
content to be skipped or repeated at the byte-limit boundary.
- Around line 96-100: The transcript scan must not treat ghost_capture,
ghost_memory_save, or ghost_save_global tool_use entries as proof of success;
clear capture-pending.json only after the corresponding tool completes and
commits successfully. Update the capture flow and add failure-path tests
covering sampling, parsing, validation, or persistence failures for all three
tools.
- Around line 59-70: Update ghost_capture to derive project_id from trusted
active-session context rather than model input, require transcript_path to
resolve within the marker-bound trusted directory, and reject paths outside it.
Ensure Store.Create and capture-state filenames use the trusted session project
ID, not caller-supplied values, while preserving explicit-path and
pending-marker resolution within that boundary.
- Around line 78-88: The ghost_capture commit flow must be crash-safe: make
memory writes, cursor advancement, and capture-pending marker clearing
recoverable as one transactional or journaled, idempotent operation, committing
cursor and marker updates only after all writes succeed. Define recovery
behavior for sampling errors, partial writes, process termination, restarts, and
retries so already-written candidates are not duplicated, and add tests covering
partial writes, restart recovery, and retries.
- Around line 74-85: Define and document the deterministic mapping from
extracted memories to the Memory fields required by Store.Upsert: use the
autonomous-capture source identifier and an empty tags collection. Ensure the
auto-save flow reuses ghost_memory_save’s Upsert path with these values, and add
coverage verifying both fields on persisted records.

In `@hyp.jsonl`:
- Around line 134-136: Complete every truncated hypothesis identified in the
affected records before judging, including entries ending with fragments such as
“Avoid”, “Based on”, “7.”, “submission date was”, or “Rachel got engaged on
**May 15”. Update the hypothesis values with coherent complete text; use an
empty string only when the record is intentionally unanswered, and ensure
cmd_judge passes the completed values to get_anscheck_prompt.

🌐 Web query:

OpenCode GoUsageLimitError Retry-After reset interval retry.ts

💡 Result:

In the OpenCode codebase, the GoUsageLimitError is handled within the retry.ts logic [1][2]. When this error is encountered, the code parses the Retry-After header from the API response to determine the reset interval [1][3]. The implementation extracts the retry-after value from the response headers, converts it from seconds into a human-readable format (days, hours, minutes), and uses this information to build a user-facing error message [1][4]. This message directs the user to their workspace settings to address the usage limit [1][3]. Community discussions have highlighted that because GoUsageLimitError represents a hard quota limit (e.g., weekly or monthly), the associated Retry-After values can be very large (e.g., hours or even days) [5]. Because the session retry logic may honor these long intervals, it can cause the client to wait for extended periods [5]. Developers have recommended treating GoUsageLimitError as a non-retryable or "fail-fast" condition to avoid these runaway session freezes, rather than allowing the system to attempt retries based on the long server-provided reset interval [5].

Honor Retry-After before exponential backoff.

Read Retry-After from the HTTPError headers first. Parse its seconds value or HTTP-date, cap the resulting wait, and use the reset-message parser only as a fallback. Support GoUsageLimitError messages with day, hour, and minute intervals.

Reject incompatible provider and endpoint combinations.

The CLI accepts --provider anthropic --api-base-url .... Both commands then select an OpenAI-compatible key, but chat() ignores the custom URL for anthropic and sends that key to the hardcoded Anthropic endpoint.

Reject this combination during argument validation. Alternatively, implement a separate Anthropic-compatible custom endpoint path.

Preserve the official judge budget for standard providers.

This call applies max_tokens=50 to every judge run. The documented harness uses max_tokens=10, while the PR objective scopes the increase to DeepSeek V4 Pro.

Use 50 only for the compatible DeepSeek mode, or add an explicit opt-in. Keep 10 as the default for comparable benchmark results.

Signature: `ghost_capture(project_id, transcript_path?)`. `transcript_path` is optional;
when omitted the tool reads the pending marker (see §3.3) for the latest session.

Flow:

1. **Locate the transcript.** Prefer the explicit `transcript_path` arg; otherwise read
the pending marker (`<dataDir>/capture-pending.json`). No marker and no arg → return a
short "nothing pending" message, not an error.
2. **Resume from the capture cursor.** A per-project state file
(`<dataDir>/capture-state-<projectID>.json`) records the last-captured transcript
path and byte offset. Same path → stream from the offset (incremental); different
path (new session) → stream from 0.

Bind project_id and transcript_path to the active session.

The model controls both values. The marker stores no project_id, and the explicit path escape hatch can read any readable local file. Store.Create persists the supplied project ID. Resolve the project from trusted session context, restrict the transcript to the marker-bound trusted directory, and encode the project ID in the state filename.

2. Scan the transcript as today: count tool calls, `ghost_memory_save`/`ghost_save_global`
calls, **and** `ghost_capture` calls.
3. No tool calls → return.
4. Saves or captures present → clear the pending marker and return (already recorded).
5. Read the pending marker. If it is for the **same session** and already marked

Clear capture-pending.json only after successful tool completion.

The Stop hook treats any tool_use entry for ghost_capture, ghost_memory_save, or ghost_save_global as a successful record. Tool execution can fail during sampling, parsing, validation, or persistence. Clear the marker only after a successful commit, and add failure-path tests for all three tools.

- **Untrusted content stays delimited.** Extracted memory text is stored data, and the
existing `«…»` delimiter guard at injection continues to apply. The extraction prompt
instructs the model to treat the existing-memories block as data, not instructions.

Treat the transcript slice as untrusted data.

The guardrail explicitly treats the existing-memory block as data, but it does not apply the same rule to the transcript slice. Transcript content can contain instructions that cause memory poisoning or schema manipulation.

Delimit both inputs and instruct the sampler to ignore instructions in both. Apply sensitive-content filtering before Upsert.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test the delayed block sequence.

Lines [107-110] state that the immediate follow-up with stop_hook_active: true returns early. The block occurs on a later no-save turn. The test description says “block fallback on the second fire,” which can incorrectly block the immediate continuation.

Test: first fire → additionalContext; guarded continuation → silent pass-through; later no-save fire → decision:block.

Complete the truncated hypotheses before judging.

Several records end in incomplete text, such as "Avoid", "Based on", "7.", "submission date was", and "Rachel got engaged on **May 15". These values are valid JSON but incomplete hypotheses. cmd_judge sends them to get_anscheck_prompt, so they can produce incorrect labels and skew benchmark metrics. Regenerate or complete each affected value. Use "" only for intentionally unanswered records.
