Summary

  • Bound the production Codex upstream WebSocket path: successful upgrades are marked and forced through the existing bounded single-reader eager relay instead of entering tee().
  • Cap raw WebSocket JSON frames and their downstream SSE envelopes at 4 MiB, cap the producer queue at 8 MiB, and fail closed with the normal downstream response.failed terminal when the upstream outruns the consumer.
  • Enable the upstream WebSocket transport only for canonical streaming ChatGPT forwards on a strictly identified stable Bun 1.4.0 or newer. Bundled Bun 1.3.14, prereleases (including a runtime whose Bun.version omits -canary), malformed identities, and pre-open failures stay on HTTP/SSE.
  • Preserve caller abort reasons, existing HTTP fallback semantics, and the public downstream SSE protocol; document the upstream/client WebSocket distinction and runtime gate.

Product decision: upstream Codex WebSocket transport is intentionally disabled for all currently shipped users while package.json and CI remain pinned to Bun 1.3.14. It becomes eligible only after the pinned runtime moves to a verified stable Bun 1.4.0 or newer; until then every turn stays on HTTP/SSE.

Why the production-path bound is necessary: the inspection branch continuously drains upstreamResponse.body.tee(), so a slow client branch can retain bytes outside an adapter queue limit. A raw-TCP stalled-client probe reproduced full upstream draining on Bun 1.3.14. The corrected path avoids tee() for successful upstream WebSocket responses, and a Bun 1.4.0-canary.1 probe stopped upstream reads below 1 MiB. Prereleases nevertheless remain fail-closed until a stable runtime is available.

Verification

  • Bun 1.3.14: bun test --isolate tests/bun-stream-caps.test.ts tests/ws-upstream.test.ts tests/relay-eager.test.ts tests/passthrough-abort.test.ts (104 pass)
  • Bun 1.4.0-canary.1: the same focused command (104 pass)
  • Bun 1.3.14 and Bun 1.4.0-canary.1: bun run typecheck
  • Bun 1.3.14: bun run privacy:scan
  • cd docs-site && bun install --frozen-lockfile && bun run build (265 pages)
  • git diff --check
  • Independent final review found no P0/P1 after the runtime-identity, abort-ordering, and end-to-end overflow fixes.
  • CodeRabbit's six valid comments were addressed across the second and third commits; all six review threads are resolved.
  • Rebased onto dev at b583d64970e087bb85fa04b7356889070e06a0b5; the latest usage-cache/resource-key drift has no changed-path overlap, and the combined transport plus usage/settings focused set passes on Bun 1.3.14 and Bun 1.4.0-canary.1 (167 pass each), with typecheck passing on both runtimes.
  • Attempted bun run test: after one unrelated existing tests/api-keys-routes.test.ts 5-second timeout (6.1 seconds), Bun 1.3.14 crashed with Internal assertion failure after 339 seconds (exit 3). The focused transport suite, typecheck, privacy scan, and docs build above all completed; full CI remains authoritative.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Canonical ChatGPT streaming can use an optimized upstream WebSocket transport on verified stable Bun 1.4.0+ runtimes.
    • Unsupported, prerelease, or unverifiable runtimes automatically fall back to HTTP/SSE.
    • Existing downstream SSE behavior is preserved, with safeguards for oversized frames and queued data.
    • Client-facing Responses WebSocket access remains independently controlled by the websockets setting.
  • Documentation

    • Updated architecture, configuration, and proxy guidance across supported languages to describe transport selection, fallback behavior, and safety limits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds runtime-gated Codex upstream WebSockets for canonical streaming, converts successful responses to bounded downstream SSE, propagates runtime identity through response paths, expands fallback and limit tests, and updates transport documentation in multiple languages.

Changes

Codex WebSocket upstream transport

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime gating and bounded relay
src/server/responses/ws-upstream.ts
Stable Bun 1.4.0+ runtimes can use the Codex WebSocket upstream. Unsupported, prerelease, malformed, or unverifiable runtimes use HTTP/SSE. The relay enforces 4 MiB frame and 8 MiB queue limits and propagates abort and enqueue failures.
Response integration and validation
src/server/responses/core.ts, src/server/responses/fetch-helpers.ts, src/server/index.ts, tests/ws-upstream.test.ts, tests/passthrough-abort.test.ts
Runtime identity reaches retries, bridges, and recovery fetches. WebSocket responses force the bounded eager SSE relay. Tests cover routing, fallback, response detection, frame and queue limits, and post-open aborts.
Transport and configuration documentation
structure/04_transports-and-sidecars.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/..., docs-site/src/content/docs/ja/..., docs-site/src/content/docs/ko/..., docs-site/src/content/docs/ru/..., docs-site/src/content/docs/zh-cn/..., docs-site/src/content/docs/zh-tw/...
Documentation describes runtime-based upstream selection, SSE fallback, relay limits, and the independence of client-facing WebSocket configuration from upstream optimization.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to e0018

The PR adds bounded upstream WebSocket relaying and runtime gating, but merge readiness is not yet established: the Korean architecture documentation omits one of the two 4 MiB limits, the overflow path retains a contained close-after-error edge case, and the full test command did not complete successfully. These bounded issues require owner follow-up before merge.

Reviewed during today's landing round. The bounding work itself looks right — ByteLengthQueuingStrategy on the response stream, a 4 MiB frame cap, an 8 MiB queue cap, and failing closed instead of buffering without limit are all the correct shape for a push transport that cannot be paused by backpressure.

Not merging yet because of one consequence worth a deliberate decision rather than a landing-round merge: bunSupportsBoundedCodexWsRelay requires Bun >= 1.4.0 and fails closed on prereleases, but this repo pins 1.3.14 (package.json engines/devDependencies, and every bun-version in .github/workflows/ci.yml). On the runtime we actually ship, shouldUseCodexWsUpstream returns false for every request, so the Codex WebSocket upstream is fully disabled and every turn falls back to HTTP SSE.

That may well be the intent — an unbounded relay on a runtime that does not propagate socket stalls is worse than no WS at all — but it turns off a transport for 100% of current users, and the PR is still a draft. That is a product call for a maintainer, not something to fold in alongside bug fixes.

Two things would unblock it: state explicitly in the description that WS is intentionally off until the pinned Bun moves to 1.4.0, or land it together with the Bun bump. The merge is otherwise clean against current dev (9a4716f) with no conflicts.

Verification note: bun run test on merged dev is 11527 pass / 0 fail, so there is a clean baseline to rebase onto.

Updated the PR description to state the product decision explicitly: upstream Codex WebSocket transport is intentionally disabled for all currently shipped users while the repo remains pinned to Bun 1.3.14, and becomes eligible only after the pinned runtime moves to a verified stable Bun 1.4.0 or newer. I also rebased onto current dev (027a993d) and reran the combined WebSocket plus integral-float argument focused suite on Bun 1.3.14 and 1.4.0-canary.1 (119 pass on each, with typecheck passing on both). The PR remains draft for the maintainer decision and authoritative CI.
