Summary

Both Responses endpoints kept their own copy of the same Codex auth-context
exception matrix — src/server/responses/core.ts:1537 and
src/server/responses/compact.ts:397 — so a change to one could silently
diverge from the other. This extracts the shared classes into a pure leaf,
src/server/responses/codex-auth-error.ts.

Behavior-preserving by construction. The user-visible half of #2392 was already
fixed in #2390 (d52032ebe); what is left is duplication, so any observable
delta here would be a regression, not an improvement.

Moved to the mapper: CodexAccountCooldownError (429, selector-aware body
and Retry-After), CodexMainProfileDrainingError (503, Retry-After: 1),
CodexThreadAffinityExpiredError (409), CodexAuthContextError (generic 401),
CodexPoolAuthenticationError and CodexDirectAuthenticationError
(message-preserving 401), CodexMainSubstitutionUnavailableError (401, still
before upstream I/O).

Deliberately left local: the regular-Responses pseudonymous reauthentication
log, since compact has no equivalent; ForwardAdmissionCredentialError in both
admission paths, since it is not an auth-context resolution error; and compact's
alternate-account CodexMainProfileDrainingError, which returns null to
preserve the first account's rejection. Unmapped errors rethrow in both handlers
rather than being swallowed.

The mapper is a pure leaf — builtins and local types only — because
core.ts is one of the three files that must never reach src/lab/.

Closes #2392.

Verification

bun test tests/responses-compaction-routing.test.ts \
  tests/codex-envkey-admission-substitution.test.ts \
  tests/server-auth.test.ts tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts
 147 pass, 0 fail
bun run typecheck    exit 0
bun run privacy:scan pass
bun run test         14,521 pass, 11 skip, 0 fail across 906 files

The existing suites checked status codes on both paths but not byte-level
parity, which is exactly the gap a refactor like this can fall through. The new
table-driven characterization at
tests/responses-compaction-routing.test.ts:174 asserts identical status,
serialized body, content type, cooldown and drain Retry-After,
thread-affinity 409, zero upstream I/O for substitution, regular-only safe
logging, and rejection of unknown errors.

Checklist

  • Targets dev
  • Characterization test added for byte-level parity
  • Full suite green (auth surface — security review applies)
  • Core/Lab boundary intact; new module is a pure leaf
  • No credential, request-body, or account-identifier logging; privacy:scan green

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Standardized authentication-error responses across regular and compact request flows.
    • Preserved accurate status codes, response bodies, content types, retry guidance, logging, and redaction.
    • Ensured unrelated authentication errors continue to propagate correctly.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified ownership of shared authentication-error response mapping and related responsibilities.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage confirming consistent behavior between regular and compact responses, including unknown-error handling.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a shared Codex authentication-error response mapper. Both Responses handlers use it for common errors. Tests verify response parity, logging, redaction, retry headers, and unchanged propagation of unknown errors.

Changes

Codex authentication response mapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared authentication error mapper
src/server/responses/codex-auth-error.ts:1-55
Adds CodexAuthContextErrorResponseOptions and mapCodexAuthContextErrorToResponse. The mapper handles cooldown, profile draining, thread affinity, authentication, credential substitution, and unavailable main-credential errors. Unrelated errors return undefined.
Responses handler integration
src/server/responses/core.ts:118-123, src/server/responses/core.ts:273, src/server/responses/core.ts:1541-1554, src/server/responses/compact.ts:45-47, src/server/responses/compact.ts:129, src/server/responses/compact.ts:391-395, structure/01_runtime.md:38-39
Regular and compact Responses handlers use the shared mapper. Regular-path account-label logging and forward-admission credential handling remain in core.ts. Runtime documentation records the mapper boundary.
Parity and propagation validation
tests/responses-compaction-routing.test.ts:174-307
Adds cross-handler tests for statuses, bodies, content types, retry headers, logging, redaction, upstream-call suppression, and unchanged propagation of unknown authentication errors.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 81b74

The production refactor appears behavior-preserving, but the added tests can leave a process-global fetch mock installed and make later tests order-dependent. Merge is reasonable with owner awareness and a follow-up to restore fetch after each test.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore globalThis.fetch after each test.

Line 244 and Line 282 replace the process-global fetch. The finally blocks restore only the spies. Later tests can receive the fake 200 response and become order-dependent.

Save and restore the original function in both tests.

Proposed fix
   test.each(cases)("maps $label identically on regular and compact Responses", async testCase => {
+    const originalFetch = globalThis.fetch;
     let upstreamCalls = 0;
     globalThis.fetch = (async () => {
       upstreamCalls += 1;
       return jsonResponse(completedPayload("unexpected upstream response"));
     }) as typeof fetch;
@@
     } finally {
+      globalThis.fetch = originalFetch;
       errorLog.mockRestore();
       authSpy.mockRestore();
     }
   });

   test("unknown auth-resolution errors reject on both handlers instead of being mapped", async () => {
+    const originalFetch = globalThis.fetch;
     let upstreamCalls = 0;
     globalThis.fetch = (async () => {
       upstreamCalls += 1;
       return jsonResponse(completedPayload("unexpected upstream response"));
     }) as typeof fetch;
@@
     } finally {
+      globalThis.fetch = originalFetch;
       authSpy.mockRestore();
     }
   });
