Summary

Fixes #5465 by applying bounded compatibility protection for standalone emergency compaction summary requests on GLM models (glm-5.3-flash on Z.AI / OpenAI-chat wire) where tiny requested output budgets (1..1024 tokens) combined with high reasoning effort exhaust the completion window and cause summary truncation (finish_reason: length).

Changes

  • Summary Budget Mitigation (src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts, src/adapters/openai-chat.ts, src/adapters/openai-chat/passthrough.ts):
    • Detects standalone tool-free summarization requests targeting GLM models with tiny output caps (1..1024).
    • Bumps the output headroom to 8192 and clamps reasoning effort to low at the final physical adapter boundary, ensuring the structured checkpoint is generated completely without truncation while leaving ordinary conversation turns untouched.
  • Testing:
    • Added unit test suite tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-glm-summary.test.ts (11 tests passing) covering cap raises, reasoning down-clamping, combo overrides, and preservation of standard turns.

Validation

  • bun x tsc --noEmit: 0 errors
  • bun test tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-glm-summary.test.ts: 11 passed, 0 failed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • For qualifying standalone summary requests to GLM-5.3 Flash, token limits from 1 to 1,024 are raised to 4,096, and reasoning effort is set to low.
    • Other models, prompts that don’t meet the qualifying conditions, and requests with tools retain their existing token limits and reasoning settings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Eligible standalone GLM-5.3-Flash summary requests with output caps from 1 through 1024 now use a cap of 4096 and reasoning effort low in both OpenAI Chat request paths. Other requests retain their supplied settings.

Changes

GLM summary budget

Layer / File(s) Summary
Summary-budget matching and token resolution
src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts
Adds output-token limit resolution and checks for eligible summary requests. For matching requests, the helper sets supplied max_tokens and max_completion_tokens fields to 4096.
Adapter enforcement and regression coverage
src/adapters/openai-chat.ts, src/adapters/openai-chat/passthrough.ts, tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-glm-summary.test.ts
Both request paths use the helper and set reasoning effort to low when it matches. Tests cover eligible caps, exclusions, passthrough behavior, and preservation of parsed options.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a3e59

GLM summary protection is incomplete and too broad. Checkpoints needing more than 4096 tokens can still be truncated, and a passthrough request can keep a one-token max_tokens limit when max_completion_tokens is larger. Some ordinary chat turns can also receive an unexpected token cap and lowered reasoning effort. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a3e59

A request that resembles a summary can have its output limit raised and its requested reasoning reduced, even if it is an ordinary request. This could increase shared-provider usage or change responses. The effect is limited to a specific destination and request shape; broader production exposure is unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: An ordinary caller-controlled request can satisfy the summary phrase check and have its explicit output limit raised to 4096, with reasoning set to low. On a credential-backed shared destination, this can weaken a caller's resource limit and increase provider usage without an actual compaction request.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently reachable effect is per eligible request to the configured destination; the evidence does not establish cross-tenant access, new credentials, or a new runtime entrypoint. The test-only range flagged as a public entrypoint calls existing builders rather than introducing one.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller able to supply a qualifying two-message request can place a context-summarization phrase in its instruction. That phrase alone satisfies one branch of the predicate, allowing the caller's small output cap to become 4096 without a checkpoint transcript.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The summary decision relies on request content and shape rather than a separately authenticated compaction marker. Model, tool, cap, and message-shape gates narrow its reach, but do not distinguish every ordinary request from an internal summary.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Authorize the cap and reasoning override using a trusted internal compaction signal, or otherwise preserve caller limits when summary intent is inferred only from prompt text.

Explanation

Issue #5465 requires a bounded final-adapter mitigation for the standalone GLM summary shape. The PR correctly narrows detection in src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts and applies it after request construction in src/adapters/openai-chat.ts and the passthrough adapter. The PR does not implement the stated 8192-token cap. protectGlmSummaryBudget assigns 4096 at src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts:41-42, and tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-glm-summary.test.ts asserts 4096. This does not match the requested 8192 comparison or the PR objective. The reasoning override to low is present. No change removes the existing client truncation or context checks.

Resolution

Change the matched max_tokens and max_completion_tokens assignments in src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts:41-42 to 8192. Update the focused tests to assert 8192 for both adapter paths. Keep the existing narrow shape checks and verify that ordinary turns, tool requests, and non-GLM requests remain unchanged.

Check both caps when both fields are supplied.

The passthrough builder forwards max_tokens and max_completion_tokens. For an otherwise eligible request with max_completion_tokens: 4096 and max_tokens: 1, this expression checks only 4096 and returns without changing either field. A gateway that uses max_tokens retains the one-token limit. Evaluate each supplied cap before excluding the request, then update the field that can impose the tiny limit.

Require a checkpoint-specific signal before changing an ordinary turn.

summaryInstruction is sufficient by itself at Line 41. A two-message, tool-free request with a system instruction that mentions “context summarization” and a user message such as “Hello” therefore gets a larger cap and low reasoning effort. This changes an ordinary turn, contrary to the stated scope. Match the actual standalone checkpoint request shape rather than treating that phrase alone as proof of a checkpoint, and add that ordinary-turn case to the regression tests.

Raise eligible caps to the required 8192 tokens.

The PR objective specifies 8192, but both assignments set 4096. A checkpoint that needs more than 4096 output tokens can still be truncated despite matching this mitigation. Set both supplied cap fields to 8192 and update the cap assertions in tests/adapters/openai/openai-chat-glm-summary.test.ts.

리뷰 · 우선순위 54 / 80

Aside가 대화를 급히 줄일 때, GLM-5.3-flash로 요약만 따로 보냅니다. 도구는 없고 메시지는 두 개입니다. 답 한도는 512나 819처럼 작고, 생각은 부모 대화의 max를 그대로 물려받습니다. 생각이 그 한도를 다 써서 요약이 잘립니다. 클라이언트는 원문을 남긴 채 압축 실패를 냅니다. 이슈 #5465입니다.

이 PR은 그 모양의 요청만 골라, 마지막 openai-chat 어댑터와 통과 경로에서 답 한도를 올리고 생각을 low로 내립니다. 일반 대화, 다른 모델, 도구가 있는 요청은 그대로 둡니다. 파싱된 옵션의 원래 한도와 생각 세기는 바꾸지 않습니다. 테스트 11개가 그 경계를 확인합니다. 바탕 브랜치는 dev입니다.

이슈와 PR 글은 한도를 8192로 올린다고 합니다. 이슈에서 성공으로 적은 요청도 8192이었습니다. 코드와 테스트는 4096입니다.

시스템 글에 "context summarization"만 있어도 <conversation> 태그 없이 통과합니다. 사용자 글이 짧은 일반 질문이어도, 메시지가 둘이고 도구가 없고 한도가 1에서 1024이면 한도와 생각이 바뀝니다. 이슈가 적은 모양은 그 태그가 있는 긴급 요약입니다.

max_completion_tokens와 max_tokens가 같이 있으면 max_completion_tokens만 봅니다. 그 값이 1024보다 크면, 작은 max_tokens는 그대로 남습니다. 그 값이 작으면 이미 큰 max_tokens까지 4096으로 줄입니다.

라인 - src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts 43줄, 44줄. 두 칸 모두 4096입니다. 이슈 #5465가 적은 값은 8192입니다. 테스트는 4096을 기대값으로 고정합니다.

라인 - src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts 38줄. summaryInstruction 하나만 맞아도 41줄에서 참이 됩니다. <conversation> 검사는 그때 쓰이지 않습니다.

라인 - src/adapters/openai-chat/summary-budget.ts 28줄. 한도 문은 max_completion_tokens가 있으면 max_tokens를 안 봅니다. 43줄과 44줄은 통과한 뒤에 있는 칸을 모두 4096으로 덮습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

이슈는 Aside 쪽 예산 고침을 우선하고, 프록시 완화는 그 요약 모양으로 좁히라고 합니다. 이 범위로 프록시가 대신 고칠지 정하면 됩니다. 4096으로 충분한지, 확인된 8192을 쓸지도 정하면 됩니다. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 작업은 아닙니다. #5465를 다루는 다른 열린 PR은 없습니다. #5919는 압축이 실패한 뒤 다른 모델을 부르는 스위치라 겹치지 않습니다.

너의 추천

한도를 8192로 맞추고 테스트의 4096도 같이 바꾸세요. 시스템 글의 요약 문구와 <conversation> 태그가 둘 다 있을 때만 적용하세요. 한도 칸이 두 개면 1에서 1024인 칸만 올리고, 이미 큰 칸은 그대로 두세요.

Requesting a narrower compatibility gate on exact head a3e59e99. protectGlmSummaryBudget matches only model id, two-message wording, no tools, and a small cap. It does not bind the known Z.ai endpoint, an explicit opt-in/native checkpoint marker, an input-size boundary, or the caller's original effort. Any custom OpenAI-chat provider exposing glm-5.3-flash can therefore have an ordinary two-message summary silently rewritten from up to 1024 tokens to 4096 and forced to reasoning_effort=low.

Scope the mitigation to the affected endpoint/owned emergency-compaction path and prove negative cases for another base URL, ordinary short summaries, small inputs, and caller effort. The existing positive cases can remain. Exact-head executable CI is currently absent.

Landed on dev in #6066 (merge 7d8459388c) as one squashed commit that keeps your authorship. A follow-up commit (fb3faab205) narrows the mitigation as the review asked: Z.AI endpoints only, an effective high/max effort, the checkpoint transcript shape of at least 2000 characters, and each tiny cap field raised on its own to 8192. Thank you. Closing because this repository merges into dev, so GitHub does not close carried PRs automatically.

Follow-up to lidge-jun#5953, from the review that held it. The mitigation now applies only on Z.AI endpoints, only at an effective high or max effort, and only to the checkpoint shape: a summary instruction plus a <conversation> transcript of at least 2000 characters. A summarization prompt with a short user message is left alone. Each tiny cap field (1-1024) is raised on its own to 8192, so a larger caller cap is never shrunk. Negative tests cover each boundary.
