Conversation
…stead of leaking a 500 A chat request with tools takes proxy_completion's single-attempt walk. When the first-ranked candidate's socket read times out, proxy_send_once re-raises the bare TimeoutError; the walk's except recognises neither a failover error nor an HTTP/upstream error in it and re-raises it raw; the HTTP handler's generic branch answers 500 internal_error; and _record_failure is never reached, so the same stalled candidate ranks first on the next request. ContextualWisdomLab/.github#1812 (Strix run 33993155419): 83 x 500 over 2.5 h, ~90 s apart, the same route every time. A request without tools takes the orchestrated walk, whose exhaustion always classifies (.github#1661: 0 x 500, 1 x 502) -- the two failure classes are the two request shapes. Source chain on #1045. The fail-closed rule for ambiguous outcomes stays exactly as pinned by test_ambiguous_timeout_is_not_replayed (121aec0): no replay on another candidate. What "fail closed" produces changes: - New _is_ambiguous_passthrough_transport_failure: TimeoutError, ConnectionError, http.client.HTTPException, or a URLError that is neither an HTTPError nor a DNS failure, anywhere in the exception chain. - In the walk, for such a failure: _record_failure (and the group router), then raise classify_provider_failure(..., transport="passthrough") -> ProviderUpstreamError(provider_connection_error, 502, retryable=True). The walk does not advance. _is_passthrough_failover_error and proxy_send_once's raw contract are untouched. - classify_provider_failure also maps http.client.HTTPException (IncompleteRead, BadStatusLine -- a connection dropped mid-read, which provider_error_body's own note already calls a transport failure) to provider_connection_error instead of the opaque api_error default. Tests: test_ambiguous_timeout_is_not_replayed now expects the classified 502 and a breaker observation; five parametrised transport shapes; predicate exclusions (HTTP status, DNS, ValueError, chain limit); group-router observation; taxonomy test for IncompleteRead/BadStatusLine. Negative control: the ambiguous-failure tests fail on main's walk (bare TimeoutError escapes). Gate: 3403 passed, 2 skipped, interrogate 100%; the two coverage tests added afterwards pass and cover the remaining new lines.

The correction above defers option (a) to a "not-yet-built durable candidate-exclusion/skip mechanism". Reading TaskOrchestrator at pin 414f229 shows a per-agent breaker already exists and still would not exclude a stalled candidate, for two independent reasons: 1. The tool-bearing passthrough re-raises a bare TimeoutError as 500 internal_error before _record_failure (orchestrator.py:8048) runs, so the breaker never counts the failure. Measured: 0 of 21, 0 of 48, 0 of 63 and 0 of 65 passthrough timeouts recorded as circuit_failure, against 9/14 and 10/15 on the no-tools _invoke route-walk. That is #1082's scope. 2. _circuit_open clears state["failures"] to 0.0 once circuit_reset_seconds (30.0) have elapsed since opened_at (orchestrator.py:8036-8038). Against the ~90s attempts these stalls take, a route is re-admitted after 30s and needs three fresh failures to be excluded again. Also records that #911 remains unmerged as of this amendment. The conclusion is unchanged: a fixed wall-clock deadline on the candidate/retry loop is still barred by product-goal-directive section 8.

Fourth "before" sample at the current pin
Sidecar stderr:
52 timeouts, 5 circuit records. The breaker is told about the HTTP failures and essentially never about the timeouts — your unreached One honest deviation from your two samples: mine is 52 timeouts against 48 five-hundreds, not 1:1. I have not accounted for the four-timeout gap and am not going to guess at it — possibly the final attempt after the walk gave up, possibly attempts whose failure arrived after the response was already committed. Reporting the counts as measured rather than rounding them to your ratio. What is new here beyond one more data point. This same PR head produced three different gateway failures within ninety minutes, which separates request shape from pool state better than any single run:
That is your "the two failure classes are the two request shapes" claim reproduced on a third repository, with the passthrough case at healthy readiness — six ready routes, so it is not a capacity artefact. Separately, and this is a correction rather than support: I earlier described a Still not merging this — it carries your lane-claim. The Generated by Claude Code |

One thing I am not claiming: the small residue.

Verification of the unestablished link: the premise holds, the causal chain splitsReviewed at head 1. The "never-recorded" premise is structurally confirmed
Those therefore reach the bare 2. Two recording mechanisms, and only one can change routing at the observed cadenceThe new block calls both. They behave very differently:
The circuit path fails on its own timing. The breaker opens and resets before the next request arrives, every time. At that cadence The group-router path has no reset window, so 3.

Fresh exact-head gate review at 812bf11 confirms the source/package, fuzz, Semgrep, Trivy, Scorecard, and direct CodeQL checks passed. The remaining required review evidence is not GREEN: Noema exhausted the free gateway pool, Strix reported The valid passthrough transport-classification and failure-recording delta remains intact and is still needed by #1043's observed breaker path. Because exact-head independent review is incomplete, this PR is not merge-ready and will remain alive as Draft rather than being closed or merged on predecessor/source-only evidence. |

A chat request with tools takes
proxy_completion's single-attempt passthrough walk. When the first-ranked candidate's socket read times out,proxy_send_oncere-raises the bareTimeoutError; the walk'sexceptrecognises neither a failover error nor an HTTP/upstream error in it and re-raises it raw; the HTTP handler's generic branch answers500 internal_error; and_record_failureis never reached, so the same stalled candidate is ranked first on the next request too. This PR keeps the existing fail-closed rule for ambiguous outcomes — no replay on another candidate (test_ambiguous_timeout_is_not_replayed, commit121aec01) — and changes only what "fail closed" produces: the candidate is recorded in the breaker and the caller receives the classified502 provider_connection_errorthatclassify_provider_failurealready defines for these types.Evidence

ssl.SSLErroris also a transport failure but was not observed; it keeps today's raw path. The 30 s breaker reset versus a 90 s attempt (#1045) is unchanged — this PR makes sure the breaker is told at all on the passthrough path.Developer experience
One small predicate and one branch in the walk, next to the branch that already classifies HTTP failures; the failover rules are untouched.
User experience
A review whose route stalls gets a provider-connection error it can act on instead of an opaque internal error, and a route that keeps stalling stops being tried first.
