Summary

  • Implements zero-copy stream memory chunking (StringChunks) in src/bridge.ts to eliminate V8 GC pauses and ConsString flattening during long text and reasoning streams.
  • Replaces frequent string concatenations with array chunk accumulation for text deltas and reasoning summaries, deferring realization until boundary flushes (flushText, flushSummaryReasoning, and batch completion).
  • Tool-call argument accumulation explicitly remains on plain string concatenation because downstream inspectors and parsers perform incremental JSON reads mid-stream.

Verification

  • Executed bun test tests/adapters/bridge.test.ts (71/71 passing), including tests for 1,000-chunk stream assembly equivalence and budget limit rejection handling.
  • Executed bun run typecheck and bun run privacy:scan.
  • Verified no dangling array references or budget accounting leaks on stream error or client abort.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.
  • 1. GitHub CI is green.
  • 2. I have rebased my branch onto the latest dev commit.
  • 3. I have fixed all correct findings from the Codex & CodeRabbit automated reviews.
  • 4. This PR is ready for human maintainer review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved reliability when processing long streamed or buffered responses, preserving complete text output.
    • Improved handling of reasoning and other generated content during response assembly.
    • Improved behavior when translation-buffer limits are reached, including a clear translation_buffer_limit error.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for large responses, empty text updates, streamed and buffered output, and constrained translation-buffer scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The bridge replaces separate text and byte fields with StringChunks in streaming and buffered paths. Tool-call arguments retain direct concatenation. Tests verify output equivalence, empty-delta handling, and translator-budget failure handling.

Changes

Bridge accumulation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Streaming chunk accumulation
src/bridge.ts
Lines 207-1343 add StringChunks, update streaming message, reasoning, hidden reasoning, raw reasoning, and compaction accumulators, preserve byte accounting, and retain direct tool-call argument concatenation.
Buffered chunk accumulation
src/bridge.ts
Lines 1647-2132 add buffered chunk accumulation, update flush and retention accounting, and retain direct tool-call argument concatenation.
Accumulation and budget validation
tests/adapters/bridge.test.ts
Lines 1505-1612 verify 1000-delta output equivalence, translation_buffer_limit failure handling, and empty text-delta handling in streaming and batch modes.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bfdb2

The chunked bridge changes preserve output and budget behavior, with no unresolved merge-blocking implementation risk identified.

설명

이 PR 제목과 요약은 두 가지를 약속합니다. (A) src/bridge.ts에서 긴 텍스트·reasoning 스트림의 문자열 연쇄로 생기는 GC 압박을 줄이는 zero-copy식 청크 적재, (B) WebSocket prelude 타이머가 제어 프레임을 활성 신호로 보고 연장되도록 고치는 것. 지금 dev HEAD cb7f96cbc의 bridge는 메시지/reasoning 버퍼를 string + bytes로 붙입니다. 긴 턴에서 previous + fragment가 반복되면 V8 ConsString 전개 비용이 커질 수 있고, tip에 이미 #4256 WS commit-boundary 계열이 있으므로 “스트림 안정성” 축은 계속 열려 있습니다.

실제로 들어온 코드 diff는 (A)에 가깝습니다. StringChunks(chunks: string[], bytes)와 appendString/appendBatchString 개편, flush 시점 joinChunks, 예산(reserveTransient/releaseRetained) 재배선, tool-call args처럼 스트림 중 중간 읽기가 필요한 버퍼는 의도적으로 문자열로 남긴 점이 본문에 드러납니다. tests/adapters/bridge.test.ts 보강도 그 축을 잠급니다.

문제는 (B)입니다. 변경 파일 목록은 src/bridge.ts, tests/adapters/bridge.test.ts, 그리고 docs/superpowers/plans/ 아래 플랜 세 개뿐입니다. codex-ws-exchange.ts / codex-ws-wire.ts / prelude 테스트는 없습니다. 플랜 문서 안에는 Task 3으로 prelude 연장이 길게 적혀 있지만, 그 작업은 이 PR head에 구현되어 있지 않습니다. 제목의 “adaptive websocket prelude extension”과 본문의 “504 prelude liveness bug is resolved” 검증 문장은, 현재 diff만 보면 과장입니다. 게다가 같은 plans 세트가 #4299에도 들어가 있어 두 PR이 문서 충돌·리뷰 노이즈를 서로 키웁니다.

우선순위 46인 이유입니다. bridge 청크 리팩터 자체는 검토할 가치가 있지만, 제목이 약속한 WS prelude 절반은 빠져 있고, 초대형 플랜 문서가 신호를 가립니다. draft 상태이므로 Ready 전에 범위를 제목에 맞추거나 제목을 범위에 맞추는 정리부터 필요합니다.

라인 - StringChunks / in-place chunks.push - 이전 객체의 배열을 공유한 채 push합니다. 예외 경로에서 reservation.release()는 하지만, 호출자가 이전 StringChunks 참조를 붙잡고 있으면 부분 push가 보일 수 있습니다. 테스트가 “예외 후 이전 스냅샷”을 고정하는지가 중요합니다.
라인 - tool-call args를 StringChunks로 바꾸지 않은 점 - 중간 읽기 때문에 맞습니다. 주석/테스트에 “왜 args만 예외인지”가 남아 있으면 후속 PR이 다시 합치려 하지 않습니다.
제목 / 본문 Verification - ws-upstream / ws-failure-stage 131개가 통과했다고 적었지만, 이 PR diff에는 그 파일들이 없습니다. prelude 수정이 없는 head에서 그 스위트가 녹색인 것은 “회귀 없음”이지 “버그 수정 검증”이 아닙니다. 문장을 고치세요.
docs/superpowers/plans/* - #4299와 동일 세트입니다. 이 PR에는 stream-memory 플랜만 두거나, 문서는 분리하세요. 구현되지 않은 Task 3을 같은 PR에 플랜으로만 두면 기여자가 “빠진 절반”을 머지된 것으로 오해합니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
지금은 머지하지 마세요. draft를 유지하고 (1) 제목/본문에서 prelude 약속을 빼거나 실제로 codex-ws-* 변경을 추가하고, (2) #4299와 겹치는 브레인스토밍·타방향 플랜을 제거한 뒤, (3) bridge 청크 리팩터만으로 CI를 다시 돌리세요. prelude는 #4191 계열 증상과 맞춰 별도 PR이 더 안전합니다.

- Accumulate streaming text deltas and reasoning summaries into string[] chunks rather than immediate string concatenation.
- Postpone string realization to boundary flushes (flushText, flushSummaryReasoning, and batch assembly), eliminating frequent intermediate string allocations and V8 ConsString flattening pauses on long outputs.
- Keep tool-call arguments on string concatenation with explicit rationale for mid-stream JSON parsing.
- Add regression coverage for 1000-delta stream assembly and budget limit rejection.
