fix(responses): stop requiring a ChatGPT credential for routed providers - #2137
Conversation
#1686 made a caller that proves admission with one of our own secrets substitute the stored main credential, so that secret never leaves the process. That is right for a route that reaches the ChatGPT backend. It was applied by asking HOW the caller authenticated and never WHERE the request routes, so a request bound for a key-authenticated provider - which carries its own credential and never touches ChatGPT - was gated on a credential it has no use for. An install that deliberately never logged into ChatGPT therefore got 401 "No usable Codex main credential" on every routed request, a regression from v2.23.0 reported in #2132. Gate the substitution on route.codexAccountMode, which is set only for the native openai row and is exactly the test for "this route can consume the stored ChatGPT credential". Both pool and direct keep substituting, so #1686's Direct contract is preserved rather than narrowed to pool. Closes #2132

Add compact bearer-admission regression tests.
postResponses only calls /v1/responses. All tests in this file use that helper. The changed src/server/responses/compact.ts path has no regression coverage.
Add compact tests for the routed key-authenticated provider, native failure without a stored credential, and native substitution with a stored credential. Verify that the admission secret never reaches either upstream.
As per path instructions: “A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.”

The direction and the route-scoped predicate are correct, but I am requesting changes before approval for two concrete reasons:
- The current head
87524414b83dis 22 commits behind the currentdevheadcaf20353f. The green jobs validate the old base at890d339dec9f, not the current integration state. Please rebase onto the latestdevand rerun CI on the new exact head. - This changes both
src/server/responses/core.tsandsrc/server/responses/compact.ts, whiletests/bearer-admission-routed-provider.test.tsexercises only/v1/responses. Please add compact regressions for the same three trust-boundary cases: a key-authenticated routed provider works without a stored ChatGPT credential, a native route without a stored credential fails before upstream I/O, and a native route with a stored credential substitutes it. In every case, assert that the admission secret is never forwarded upstream.
Once those two boundaries are covered and exact-head CI is green, this remains a strong merge candidate for #2132.
gpt-daybreak-blue-latest is in the static native set, so catalog sync copied it onto every account selector and Pool could bind a bare Daybreak request to an account whose authenticated roster never contained it. The upstream answered "The 'gpt-daybreak-blue-latest' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account." Make the authenticated ChatGPT roster the source of truth: discover per-account entitlement, advertise the gated row only where an eligible account confirms it, and refuse selection of an account that cannot serve it. Discovery failures fail closed - the row disappears rather than being offered on unproven evidence. Carries @Ingwannu's lidge-jun#2101, with three corrections: Selector compact missed the wire rewrite. accountGatedCompactWireModel was derived from the caller's raw model string, and an account-qualified selector like side/gpt-daybreak-blue-latest does not match the gated map, so it still took the native compact endpoint the guard exists to avoid. It now derives from route.modelId, the same value core.ts normalizes from. Direct callers shared one 64-entry roster cache with main/Pool. A burst of distinct Direct callers evicted the very entries the catalog projects from, so the gated row vanished until rediscovery. The two classes now evict separately. A comment in native-models.ts still claimed routing never collapses Daybreak into gpt-5.6-sol, which the wire normalization does exactly. Stacked on lidge-jun#2137: this consumes the substituteMainCredential value that PR corrects, so it must not land ahead of it. Closes lidge-jun#2097

Summary
A request routed to a key-authenticated provider was being gated on a ChatGPT credential it has no use for, so an install that deliberately never logged into ChatGPT got
401 No usable Codex main credentialon every request. Reported in #2132 as a regression from v2.23.0.#1686 made a caller that proves admission with one of our own secrets substitute the stored main credential, so that secret never leaves the process. That is correct for a route that actually reaches the ChatGPT backend. The flag was computed from how the caller authenticated and never from where the request routes:
route.codexAccountModeis set only for the nativeopenairow, so every other provider fell through toauthCtx = { kind: "main" }, hit the substitution branch, and threwCodexMainSubstitutionUnavailableErrorwhen no ChatGPT token was stored — for a request that was never going to touch ChatGPT.The fix adds the missing half of the question: substitute only when the route can actually consume that credential. Both
poolanddirectcontinue to substitute, so #1686's Direct contract is preserved rather than narrowed — an important detail, since Direct bearer admission is only safe because substitution still runs.Same one-line change at both call sites (
core.ts,compact.ts).Verification

It asserts the provider's own key goes upstream, our admission secret never does, a native route with no stored credential still fails closed before any upstream I/O, and a native route with a stored credential still substitutes it.bun run typecheck— clean.bun test --isolate tests— 13,516 pass, 0 fail, 10 skip (857 files).codex-envkey-admission-substitution,codex-auth-context,forward-admission-separation,data-plane-admission-identity,codex-admission) — 88 pass, 0 fail.bun run privacy:scan— passed.Merge-order note
