# LD — bridged web-search replay and Anthropic thinking replay

Delivery lane R3-LD. The completion bar for this lane is not "one turn
succeeded" but "the next turn inherits exactly the same result". Local test
execution is prohibited here: every claim below is backed by source reading and
by hosted CI at an exact head.

## Units

| Unit | Item | Kind | Write scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | #4587 bridged hosted `web_search` result is not replayed to the destination | new implementation | `src/responses/bridge-search-replay-cache.ts` (new), `src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts`, `src/adapters/openai-responses/passthrough.ts`, `src/adapters/openai-responses/tool-output-recovery.ts`, `structure/` owner doc, one new test file plus its two layout entries |
| U2 | #4429 key-auth Responses gateway echoes hosted `web_search` as a client `function_call` | re-judge at HEAD, closure recommendation | none — assessment only |
| U3 | #3719 Anthropic thinking/`redacted_thinking` replay through proxy-auth translation | verify at HEAD, closure recommendation | none — assessment only |
| U4 | #3952, #4783, #4900 | review only, scoped | none |

U1 is the only unit that writes code. U2 and U3 are re-judged against current
source because both issue bodies predate the commits that changed the answer;
the host owns every close decision.

## U1 — #4587

### What is actually broken

`src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts` intercepts the destination's
`function_call` named `web_search`, runs the search proxy-side, and shows the
caller a hosted `web_search_call` cell whose id is a proxy-minted
`ws_<uuid>`. Two paths reach that state:

- `endAfterSearch` (a leg mixing the search with a client-executed tool call)
ends the turn on that leg, so no continuation carries the result upstream.
- The ordinary continuation path does re-POST `function_call` +
`function_call_output` to the destination through `appendBridgeSearchTurn`,
but only inside that turn.

In both cases the caller's own history now holds a hosted `web_search_call`
item. On the next turn it replays that item, and the destination receives an
item type it never produced, with no result text and no matching
`function_call`/`function_call_output` pair. The observable effect is a wasted
round trip: the model usually searches again.

### Where the fix has to live

Not in the bridge. By the time the bridge wraps a turn, that turn's first leg
is already on the wire, so the rewrite must happen before dispatch. The
existing pre-dispatch rewrites of outbound `input` are
`backfillWebSearchQueries` and `repairOrphanedInputItems` in
`src/adapters/openai-responses/tool-output-recovery.ts`, applied from
`src/adapters/openai-responses/passthrough.ts`. The restore joins them there.

### The memo

A process-local, bounded, expiring memo records what the bridge executed:

- Key: the destination identity (the existing salted digest of the provider
base URL from `src/responses/reasoning-replay-cache.ts`) plus the synthesized
cell item id. The cell id is a v4 UUID this proxy mints, so it cannot collide
across conversations; the destination scope is what stops one provider's
executed call from being replayed into another provider's conversation.
- Value: the destination's `call_id`, its original item id, the original
arguments text, and the executed result text.
- Bounds: entry count, total bytes, and TTL, following the discipline already
established by the reasoning replay cache. Result text lives in memory only
and is never logged, serialized, or exported.

Correct the result-text lifecycle claim.

entry.output is serialized into the next scoped destination request as function_call_output. Do not state that it is never serialized or exported. State that it remains process-local between turns and is sent only during a matching destination-scoped replay.

### The invariant that matters most

**A memo miss is a no-op.** If the cell id is unknown, expired, or was recorded
against a different destination, the replayed `web_search_call` item is left
exactly as it is. The lane must never re-run the search to recover a lost
result, and must never synthesize result text. Re-running would bill a second
search the caller did not ask for and would answer the model with a different
search than the one its history claims; synthesizing would put words in the
destination's own mouth. Both are the easiest wrong fix available here, and
neither is permitted.

### Regression pins

1. A replayed `web_search_call` whose id is in the memo becomes the
destination's `function_call` followed by its `function_call_output`, in
that order, at the item's original position.
2. A replayed `web_search_call` with no memo entry is byte-identical to the
input item.
3. An entry recorded against one destination is not restored for another.
4. An expired entry behaves exactly like a miss.
5. Providers without `webSearchBridge.enabled` allocate nothing and their
outbound body keeps its original object identity.

## U2 — #4429

The issue asked for two things: a non-Ollama executor so a key-auth Responses
gateway can arm the bridge, and the intercepted call executed proxy-side with
the conversation continued upstream. Both shipped. The reporter's remaining
concern — the destination never learning the result — is #4587 and is U1 here.
The hosted/client distinction the issue turns on is `isWebSearchCallItem`
versus `isClientExecutedItem` in the bridge: a namespaced `ns__web_search` is
treated as a client-owned tool and is never intercepted, which is the boundary
that keeps the undeclared-tool guard's authority intact.

Closure recommendation and the evidence for it are recorded in `020`.

## U3 — #3719

The issue body states that the inbound translator drops assistant `thinking`
and `redacted_thinking` blocks. That is no longer true at HEAD:
`src/claude/inbound.ts` encodes the Anthropic signature and the opaque
redacted payloads into bounded `ocxr1` envelopes, and
`src/adapters/anthropic.ts` replays them as `redacted_thinking` blocks
followed by a signed `thinking` block.

This lane verifies that path and keeps it separate from the different question
of carrying signature data to other providers. The gate that enforces the
separation is `isLikelyRealAnthropicThinkingSignature`: a block is replayed
only when its signature looks like a real upstream-issued one, so a proxy-minted
continuity value or another provider's opaque blob is dropped rather than
forwarded as an Anthropic signature. Manufacturing a signature is out of scope
and stays that way.

The remainder of #3719 is measurement — a controlled cache creation/read
comparison across continuation turns — which this lane cannot produce under the
no-local-execution rule.

## Operating constraints

- No local test, typecheck, install, or GUI build. Verification is source
reading plus hosted CI at the exact final head.
- No merging, no direct pushes to `dev`, no closing issues or pull requests.
The lane ends with an open PR and exact-head CI evidence, or with a written
closure recommendation handed to the host.
- No flake management: no widened timeouts, added retries, platform skips, or
masking.

# LD — closure evidence for #4429 and #3719

Both issue bodies predate the commits that changed the answer. Each claim below was re-judged
against `origin/dev` at `2f025814f3`, by reading the current source rather than the issue text.
The host owns every close decision; this unit only supplies the evidence.

## #4429 — key-auth Responses gateway echoes hosted `web_search` as a client `function_call`

The report asked for two things, and named the shape of the fix itself: ship a non-Ollama executor
for `webSearchBridge` by reusing the existing sidecar executors, then have the intercepted call run
proxy-side and continue the conversation upstream so the caller sees a hosted `web_search_call`
cell.

| Ask | State at HEAD | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| A non-Ollama key-auth gateway can arm the bridge | Delivered | `5b707d3a5c` |
| The intercepted call runs proxy-side and the conversation continues upstream | Delivered | `024e43ddf1`, `3557ada7de` |
| A leg mixing the search with a client-executed tool does not kill the turn | Delivered | `2e6a0316b9` (#4586) |
| The destination learns the executed result on the next turn | #4587, addressed by this lane's PR | — |

`planPassthroughWebSearchBridge` no longer returns early for a non-`ollama` backend. For
`openai`, `anthropic`, `xai`, `gemini` and `exa` it plans on the presence of that backend's own
resolved credential and never derives an Ollama Cloud origin, so an internal gateway on an
arbitrary base URL arms exactly as the reporter asked. The credential boundary #3761 called for
survives: only the `ollama` backend spends the passthrough provider's own API key, and a backend
whose credential is missing stays disarmed instead of falling through to a different paid search.

The hosted/client distinction the issue turns on is `isWebSearchCallItem` against
`isClientExecutedItem`. A namespaced `ns__web_search` is a tool identity the client declared and
executes itself, so it is never intercepted, and `web_search` is never added to the
undeclared-tool guard's allowed names — that would authorize a call nobody can execute rather than
removing it. The guard's authority over every other tool a destination emits is unchanged.

**Recommendation.** Closable once #4587 lands. One thing in the report is not resolved and is not
a code defect: whether the reporter's gateway auto-executes Kimi's builtin `$web_search` server
side and merely echoes the call. That needs a live probe the reporter offered to run. If the host
wants it tracked, it is a question to the reporter on the existing thread, not a separate defect.

## #3719 — Anthropic thinking replay through proxy-auth translation

The body states that the inbound translator drops assistant `thinking` and `redacted_thinking`
blocks on replay. That is false at HEAD.

| Checkbox | State at HEAD | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Implement Anthropic-to-Anthropic replay fidelity, preserving upstream signatures and opaque redacted blocks | Delivered | `4a59dbc2b7`, `58fcb0961d` |
| Verify a multi-turn thinking/tool-result exchange with both block types | Covered by regression tests | `tests/adapters/anthropic/anthropic-thinking-signature.test.ts` |
| Compare cache creation/read usage across controlled continuation turns | Not established | — |
| Document native passthrough eligibility separately from translated-route cache support | Delivered | `docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/claude-code.md` |

`src/claude/inbound.ts` encodes the Anthropic signature as `{sig}` and each opaque
`redacted_thinking` payload as `{red:[...]}` inside a bounded `ocxr1` envelope carried in
`encrypted_content`. `src/adapters/anthropic.ts` replays the redacted blocks verbatim first, in
the original stream order, then the signed `thinking` block.

The separation this lane was asked to preserve is real and enforced in code, not by convention.
`isLikelyRealAnthropicThinkingSignature` gates the outbound `thinking` block, so a value that does
not look like an upstream-issued signature is dropped rather than sent as one. Two specific
leaks are refused rather than generalized: the inbound translator rejects an `ocxr1` envelope
carrying `sig` that arrives in an Anthropic `signature` field, because proxy-minted reasoning
continuity must never be replayed as an Anthropic signature; and a native OpenAI-encrypted blob
has no `ocxr1` prefix, so the decoder returns null and it keeps its placeholder rather than being
laundered into a signature. Carrying signature data to a different provider stays out of scope.

**Recommendation.** Only the third checkbox is unproven, and it is a measurement rather than an
implementation: a controlled cache creation/read comparison across continuation turns with a
stable model, credential scope, prompt prefix, tool set and retention setting. It needs live
Anthropic traffic, which this lane cannot produce under the no-local-execution rule, and neither
the per-turn cache-miss claim nor its attribution to dropped replay blocks was ever reproduced —
in #3646 or here. The host's options are to close #3719 on the implemented and documented scope
and treat the unreproduced cache claim as not established, or to keep it open solely as a
measurement task. The public guide already states the honest position: replay preserves non-hidden
signed blocks and opaque redacted blocks on the intended Anthropic adapter, and that this does not
establish live Anthropic acceptance or cache-hit improvements. No documentation change is needed
for a close.

## Pull requests reviewed, not carried

- **#3952** mixes several changes. The part that touches this lane is a single guarded rewrite in
the Responses passthrough: when `provider.modelSuffixBracketStrip` is set, the outbound `model`
has its bracketed suffix stripped, detached before the write so the caller's raw body is not
mutated. That much is sound and independent of the freeform-tool and Moonshot work in the same
branch. It should be judged per change, not as one verdict.
- **#4783** targets `main` and is a draft. Within this lane's scope it adds an `openai-apikey`
bridge backend and routes the bridge's reasoning setting through `resolveSidecarReasoning`
instead of reading `sidecar.reasoning` directly. The backend addition is the same generalization
#4429 asked for, so it overlaps that area; it needs to be retargeted to `dev` before any of it
can be judged on merit.
- **#4900** belongs to another lane's Cursor work. Not duplicated here. Nothing in this lane's
history-replay scope depends on it.
