Reviewed exact head d08cb19cede3b9ba67555d8e0e61c6cc9bbbb65d. I treated the owner/Grok comment as advisory and independently reproduced both current-head conversation-scope failures through the real handleResponses entry point (2 passing reproductions, 6 assertions):
-
core.tskeeps_clientThreadIdraw but falls back toconversationIdFromResponsesRequest(), which returns a SHA-256 log identifier. The same opaque conversation id therefore uses different replay keys when one turn suppliesx-codex-parent-thread-idand a later turn supplies onlysession_id. In the reproduction, an A-to-B route change retained the blob on both sends ([true, true]) instead of detecting the serving-identity change. -
The fallback gives
session_idpriority overthread-id. This route already documents thatsession_idcan be synthesized from a sharedprompt_cache_key; two distinctthread-idconversations with that same session value therefore coalesced. In the reproduction, the second conversation's first request had its blob stripped ([true, false]) because it inherited the first conversation's serving record.
Please add a dedicated replay-scope identity resolver instead of reusing the persisted log hash: preserve the existing raw parent-thread path, prefer a true per-conversation thread/Cursor identity over a potentially synthetic session/cache cohort, sanitize and bound raw fallback input, and add regressions for both mixed-header continuity and shared-session isolation.
This branch is also currently DIRTY against dev@401c24f747ad011bf340ee0ae6522b353c5dfb71 and still carries the two earlier stack commits whose behavior is already present on current dev. Rebuild/rebase so only the new conversation-scope and rejection-memo work remains, then rerun exact-head focused/full CI.

Independent validation on this SHA:
One repository-completion blocker remains: the rebase dropped the structure Decision Log while the PR still introduces the durable rejection memo. I left the corresponding CodeRabbit thread open and requested a focused note covering the conversation + durable serving-identity key, five-minute TTL, successful blobless-retry admission rule, and subsequent pre-flight strip behavior. The PR is also still Draft with the readiness checklist at 0/4 and no required cross-platform/full CI on this head, so I am not approving or merging it yet. Once the documentation is restored, the checklist is completed, the exact head remains unchanged, and required CI is green, this remains a strong merge candidate. |

Approved exact head a011633cf5d6c96afb76ebce2283bfd66e01bb15.
The code is unchanged from the independently validated 1e771a22e head: the mixed-header continuity and shared-session isolation regressions remain fixed, the rejection memo is scoped by raw sanitized conversation identity plus durable provider/destination/adapter/model/credential identity, and admission still requires a successful blobless recovery before later pre-flight stripping. The only new commit restores the required structure Decision Log, including the five-minute TTL, switch-back isolation, and expiry behavior.
There are no unresolved review threads, the readiness checklist is complete, and the branch is 0 behind current dev. This approval is conditional on exact-head required CI completing green; do not merge on the local-suite report alone. The change is TypeScript Responses/replay logic with no current Go counterpart, which must be recorded if integrated while dev2-go remains unavailable.

Current integration hold: |
…nt thread The serving-identity record was keyed only on `x-codex-parent-thread-id`. Without that header there was no scope at all, so the record could never be written or compared: every turn stayed permanently cold, the deterministic pre-flight never fired, and each turn fell through to the opaque-blob recovery — one extra full upload of the transcript, every turn. Measured on live traffic. Across 95 xAI conversations, 70 recoveries occurred and 67 of them were in two conversations: f4be51de 86 requests 55 recoveries c14e85a7 66 requests 12 recoveries e925d065 165 requests 1 recovery <- healthy: one cold first turn Both outliers are conversations where the backend was switched mid-session, so their transcripts permanently carry foreign-minted reasoning blobs replayed on every later turn. An instrumented build showed those requests carrying no client thread id, which is why the record never warmed up. Those turns were ~150k input tokens each, sent twice. The recovery was working as designed — without it the turns would fail outright. The defect is that the deterministic path was structurally unavailable to them, so the recovery paid full price every turn instead of once. `conversationIdFromResponsesRequest` already resolves a conversation identity for the request log through a four-level fallback, so reuse it as the replay scope key when the header is absent. `_clientThreadId` is untouched: it remains the routing and continuation identity, and the header path is byte-for-byte unchanged. The scope is shared with the process-local raw-reasoning replay and the durable thought-signature replay. Widening is safe for both because they key additionally by provider, destination, adapter, model and credential, so a conversation namespace only narrows what they already isolate — and a fallback that yields no identity still produces no scope, preserving today's keep-the- blobs behaviour. Pinned by a three-turn headerless regression asserting sendCount [2, 1, 1]: recover once, then strip pre-flight. That sequence is the entire point. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> (cherry picked from commit 22375cf980ee7990f36f6d6c9d231966ff84102a)
The serving-identity record tracks which destination served the previous turn. That is the right signal for detecting a switch and the wrong one for what actually costs money, because foreign blobs stay in the client transcript forever while the switch happens only once. Measured on the deployed build — three consecutive headerless turns replaying a grok-minted blob to gpt-5.6-sol: turn 1 sends=1 recovery=[] pre-flight strips, one send turn 2 sends=2 recovery=[opaque-blob-rejection] record now says sol == sol, turn 3 sends=2 recovery=[opaque-blob-rejection] no strip, upstream rejects After the first turn commits the new destination every later comparison returns "same identity", so the pre-flight stops stripping while the grok-minted blob is still in the replayed history. Each of those turns paid a full extra upload. This is the production pathology: 86 requests / 55 recoveries and 66 / 12 in the two conversations where the backend was switched mid-session, against 165 / 1 for a healthy one, at ~150k input tokens a send. When a recovery succeeds the upstream has just proven this conversation's replayed opaque state is unusable for that destination. Remember it and pre-strip instead of rediscovering it once per turn. The memo is keyed by conversation **and** durable serving identity. Keyed by conversation alone it would strip the original destination's own valid blobs the moment the user switched back — a silent, permanent quality regression with no error to notice. It is recorded only when the blobless resend actually succeeded, so a resend that also failed teaches nothing. TTL is five minutes against the serving record's hour, and the asymmetry is deliberate: a stale memo silently degrades reasoning, while an expired one costs a single visible recovery round trip that re-establishes it. An earlier attempt at this test alternated destinations between turns, which passes for the wrong reason — the identity changes every turn, so the ordinary switch detection fires and the memo is never exercised. The regression now holds the destination constant and asserts sendCount [2, 1, 1], plus the switch-back case, a failed resend recording nothing, and expiry rechecking once before settling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> (cherry picked from commit fe8be1ac4d00d855e98393642e1f2e796b21ca2f)
Do not reuse the hashed request-log conversation id. Mixed parent-thread and session_id headers that carry the same conversation must hit one serving record, and a shared or synthetic session_id must not coalesce distinct thread or Cursor conversations.
Restore the architecture note for the conversation-and-serving-identity memo: five-minute TTL, successful blobless-retry admission, and later pre-flight stripping.

Approved exact head 3d2bfebff363bac00946d6b75e89e776d75f21f7. The runtime patch is unchanged from the independently validated current-dev head; the only final delta is the verified Decision Log correction removing the false promise that a switch back to the blob-minting destination always preserves blobs. Route-change pre-flight stripping is now documented consistently with the code. Focused replay/log/recovery verification, typecheck, privacy scan, React Doctor, and the full exact-head Cross-platform CI including macOS are green. The branch is 0 behind dev@69907dde922dba8285e9227f46cd1043ada83f60, git diff --check is clean, and no review threads remain unresolved. This is TypeScript Responses/replay logic with no current Go-native counterpart. Because the change scopes replay by destination and credential identity, I am not bypassing the independent maintainer/security approval requested from @lidge-jun / @Wibias.

Rebased onto current
dev(401c24f74). The two #2264 commits this was stacked on already landed as #2273, so they are no longer in this branch. Exact head is 0 behind / 2 ahead.Closes the blind spot that made the serving-identity record pay full price on every turn instead of once.
1. The record could not be written at all without a Codex header
The scope was keyed solely on
x-codex-parent-thread-id. With no header there was no scope object, so nothing could be recorded or compared: every turn stayed permanently cold, the deterministic pre-flight never fired, and each turn fell through to the opaque-blob recovery — one extra full upload of the transcript, every turn.Measured across 95 live xAI conversations: 70 recoveries, 67 of them in two conversations.
Both outliers are sessions where the backend was switched mid-conversation, so their transcripts permanently carry foreign-minted reasoning blobs replayed on every later turn. An instrumented build confirmed those exact requests carried no client thread id. At ~150k input tokens per send, that is the whole transcript uploaded twice per turn.
conversationIdFromResponsesRequestalready resolves a conversation identity for the request log through a four-level fallback, so this reuses it as the replay scope key when the header is absent._clientThreadIdis untouched — it stays the routing and continuation identity, and the header path is byte-for-byte unchanged.The scope is shared with the process-local raw-reasoning replay and the durable thought-signature replay. Widening is safe for both: they key additionally by provider, destination, adapter, model and credential, so a conversation namespace only narrows what they already isolate. A fallback that yields no identity still produces no scope, preserving today's keep-the-blobs behaviour.
2. …and fixing that was not enough
This is the part worth reading. With the scope working, live behaviour was still wrong — three consecutive turns to the same destination, replaying a grok-minted blob to
gpt-5.6-sol:The serving-identity model assumes the transcript only contains blobs from the last-serving destination. That assumption dies the moment a switch happens: the switch occurs once, but the foreign blob stays in the replayed history forever, so every later comparison returns "same identity" and the pre-flight stops stripping.
So when a recovery succeeds, the upstream has just proven this conversation's replayed opaque state is unusable for that destination. Remember it, and pre-strip instead of rediscovering it at the cost of a round trip per turn.
Two properties carry the safety of that memo:
TTL is five minutes against the serving record's hour, and the asymmetry is deliberate: a stale memo silently degrades reasoning, while an expired one costs a single visible recovery round trip that re-establishes it.
Verification
Live, on the deployed build, after both commits:
The last line is the one that would be invisible in production if it regressed.
Live measurement on the deployed stack (2026-08-21)
Deployed as
v2.29.0+ #2270 + this branch and used for ~40 minutes of real Codex traffic (PDT 11:43–12:25): 124 xAI requests, 124 sends — zero extra sends, zero recoveries; the single non-200 is a 499 from the proxy restart itself. Cached-input share 95.8% overall; the main session 96.0%, with 98.0–99.8% per turn over its last 30 turns.Switch checks on the same build (synthetic headerless threads through the proxy): grok mint → replay to
gpt-5.6-solon the same thread → back to grok, and the reverse direction — every hopsendCount=1, no recovery (warm record → deterministic pre-strip). The cold-record path (first hop pays one recovery, later hops on the same destination do not:[2, 1, 1]) was verified live on these exact commits earlier the same day; see Verification above.For scale: the two conversations that motivated this PR had sent 219 times for 152 requests before it.

It fails the same way in isolation on currentdev(401c24f74), so it is not a regression from this PR.An earlier revision of the three-turn regression alternated destinations between turns. That passes for the wrong reason: the identity changes every turn, so ordinary switch detection fires and the memo is never exercised. The destination is now held constant, which is what the production pathology looks like.
