fix(responses): surface stale WebSocket failures instead of replaying - #2669
Conversation
Reconnect a reused upstream socket once before any response event when the request contains full input. Stop pipeline retries after reconnect exhaustion so a failed recovery cannot replay the request a third time. Co-authored-by: Hephaestus <clio-agent@sisyphuslabs.ai>

 [High impact] The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable new issue was found. SummaryThe executor surfaces failed WebSocket writes without opening a replacement connection or resending the request.
The two previous threads are unnumbered and resolved. Their replacement-request scenarios no longer apply because the internal replay path has been removed. Reviews (3) · Last reviewed commit: "fix(responses): surface stale WebSocket ..." · Reviewed by Greptile |

SetLinger(0)and the fixed sleep do not guarantee that the client has processed the reset beforeWriteJSON. The secondDoStreamcan therefore succeed and fail only inNext, which is a valid read-error case but does not exercise the failed-write path.Close the pooled client's

A write failure on a reused Responses WebSocket session is ambiguous: the upstream may already have accepted and executed response.create. Resending the same payload on a replacement connection can therefore execute the request twice, with duplicate side effects and billing. Evict the stale session and return the error instead. A replacement connection is now established only where the payload was provably never written: - a reused session whose prepared payload needs a fresh connection (append-only delta, non-native payload, or an explicit previous_response_id that does not belong to the tracked session) - a pooled session that is already closed, expired, or generation-mismatched This recovery is independent of the downstream protocol, so it applies to http-to-websocket routing as well as websocket-to-websocket. The reconnect sentinel is no longer needed by the pipeline, so llm/pipeline/pipeline.go and llm/transformer/shared/responses_continuation.go return to their previous behaviour.

Problem
Production Responses WebSocket sessions were dying mid-conversation: AxonHub's upstream socket became unwritable (
write tcp ...: write: connection timed out) and the downstream client sawclose 1006 (abnormal closure).The first revision of this PR added an internal recovery that dialed a replacement upstream connection and resent the original
response.createon a write failure. That approach is unsound and has been removed.Why resending is unsafe
WriteJSONreturning an error does not prove the request was never delivered. The upstream may have accepted and already executedresponse.create, so resending the same payload on a fresh connection can execute the request twice — duplicate side effects, duplicate tool calls, duplicate billing. The connection also carries session state (lastResponseID, generation, retained input), so a replacement connection is not equivalent to the one that failed.What this PR does instead
A failed session is evicted and the failure is surfaced instead of being replayed. A replacement upstream connection is established only where the payload was provably never written:
previous_response_idthat does not belong to the tracked sessionBoth cases happen before any write on that connection, so the first write on the new connection is not a replay.
Supporting fixes kept from the original revision:
webSocketStream.finishreads the lease under the lock (readings.leaseoutside it races with a concurrent lease handoff);webSocketStream.setErrkeeps context cancellation authoritative unless a terminal event was already observed;webSocketLease.writeaborts a stuck write when the context finishes instead of waiting for the full 30s write deadline.llm/pipeline/pipeline.goandllm/transformer/shared/responses_continuation.goare back to their previous behaviour, since the reconnect sentinel is no longer needed.Scope
The recovery is keyed on the upstream transport only, so it applies to both downstream protocols:
Verification
cd llm && go test -race -shuffle=on -count=1 ./...passes,gofmtandgit diff --checkare clean, andTestWebSocketExecutorDoesNotReplayAfterReusedSessionFailurepins the invariant: after a reused session is aborted by the peer, the next turn must fail and the upstream connection count must stay at 1 (the previous behaviour reached 2).Not included
The upstream long-connection timeout (
context deadline/ peer write timeout while a socket is blocked) is a separate concern and is unchanged here.Summary by CodeRabbit
