From 113894600cbc8aae219bd733ea8460a64e3e626f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abhay Singh Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 19:16:24 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix(cache/ccr): don't evict a live entry on a duplicate store at capacity (#2082) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Description `CompressionStore.store` (`headroom/cache/compression_store.py`) runs eviction **before** it knows whether the incoming `hash_key` is new or a re-store of an already-present key: ```python with self._lock: self._evict_if_needed() # <-- runs first existing = self._backend.get(hash_key) if existing is not None: ... # duplicate / collision: overwrite in place self._stale_heap_entries += 1 self._backend.set(hash_key, entry) ``` When the store is full and the incoming key **already exists** (a duplicate re-store), `_evict_if_needed()` removes the oldest *distinct* entry to "make room" — but then `set()` merely overwrites the existing key in place, so no room was ever needed. Net effect: `count` drops to `max_entries - 1` and a **live, never-retrieved entry is destroyed**. That entry's `<>` marker, still sitting in the conversation history, then resolves to a 404 on `/v1/retrieve`. This is not a corner case: the CCR mirror bridge (`_mirror_single_hash_to_python_store` in `smart_crusher.py`) re-`store()`s the same `explicit_hash` every turn a `<>` marker is re-encountered, and markers persist across turns — so a full store silently deletes a live sibling entry on each duplicate. Concrete (with the repo's `max_entries=3` fixture): store c0, c1, c2 (full), then re-store c1 (same content ⇒ same hash). Eviction pops the oldest (c0), deletes it, then c1 is overwritten in place. Final state: {c1, c2}, count 2, and **c0 is gone** — its marker is now unredeemable. Closes: no issue filed — found while auditing the compression store. ## Fix Decide novelty before evicting: only `_evict_if_needed()` for a genuinely new key; a duplicate/replace overwrites in place (no eviction). The collision/duplicate logging and stale-heap accounting are unchanged. ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue) ## Changes Made - `headroom/cache/compression_store.py`: `store()` reads `existing` first and only evicts when the key is new. - `tests/test_compression_store.py`: add `test_duplicate_store_at_capacity_does_not_evict` (re-store an existing hash at capacity keeps all entries and count at `max_entries`). ## Testing - [x] New regression test added (`tests/test_compression_store.py`) - [x] Linting/formatting clean — run with the CI-pinned `ruff==0.15.17` - [ ] Full `pytest` deferred to CI (local-OOM reason below). ```text $ uvx ruff@0.15.17 check headroom/cache/compression_store.py tests/test_compression_store.py All checks passed! ``` ## Real Behavior Proof - Environment: Windows 11, Python 3.10, headroom from this branch. Importing `headroom` pulls in the torch/transformers stack and a full `pytest` gets OOM-killed on this box, so I verified the store/evict logic with a dependency-free script (replicating the backend + eviction heap) and left the full pytest to CI. - Exact command / steps: filled a `max_entries=3` store with c0/c1/c2, then re-stored c1 (duplicate), through the old (evict-first) and new (check-first) logic; also confirmed a genuinely new key still evicts the oldest. - Observed result: the old logic drops c0 (count 2); the new keeps all three; and a new key at capacity still evicts the oldest: ```text OLD: after duplicate re-store of h1 -> keys=['h1', 'h2'] count=2 NEW: after duplicate re-store of h1 -> keys=['h0', 'h1', 'h2'] count=3 NEW still evicts oldest for a genuinely new key at capacity DUPLICATE-STORE EVICTION FIX VERIFIED (old drops a live entry; new keeps it) ``` - Not tested: a full proxy CCR round-trip (needs the heavy stack). The fix is confined to `store()` and the new test drives it directly with the `max_entries=3` fixture. Existing eviction tests use distinct keys and stay green. Full local `pytest` deferred to CI (OOM, per above). ## Review Readiness - [x] I have performed a self-review - [x] This PR is ready for human review ## Checklist - [x] My code follows the project's style guidelines - [x] I have performed a self-review of my code - [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [x] My changes generate no new warnings - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [ ] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes — ran lint + a standalone logic check; full pytest deferred to CI (local OOM, disclosed above) - [x] I have updated the CHANGELOG.md if applicable ## Additional Notes - Internal reordering only, no signature change; no call sites or backend mocks break. - @JerrettDavis tagging you — this silently drops a live CCR entry (making its marker 404) whenever a duplicate hash is re-stored at capacity, which the mirror bridge does routinely.

The store dropped below `max_entries` and a live, never-retrieved entry was destroyed, so its `<>` marker (still in the conversation) resolved to a 404. The CCR mirror bridge re-stores the same `explicit_hash` every turn a marker is re-encountered, so this fired routinely. Eviction now runs only for a genuinely new key. * **tokenizers:** recurse into a native `tool_result` whose content is a list of blocks instead of JSON-serializing it. `_count_content_parts` counted a `tool_result` with list content via `_count_serialized` (json.dumps + sample), so a base64 image nested in a tool result (computer-use / MCP screenshot tools) was priced as text — a ~50-200x overcount (a ~200KB screenshot read as ~70K tokens instead of ~1600). It now recurses into the nested blocks, matching the sibling Strands `toolResult` branch, so the image is priced structurally. The overcount made a single screenshot appear to blow past the model's context window and triggered unnecessary/over-aggressive compression. * **tokenizers:** price dense scripts (CJK/Kana/Hangul) in the fixed-ratio estimator path. `EstimatingTokenCounter.count_text` applied the CJK correction only on the auto-detect path; its fixed-ratio early return divided by the Latin ratio with no adjustment. The registry builds every provider-calibrated counter with a fixed ratio (Anthropic 3.5, Google 4.0, Cohere 4.0, Moonshot 3.1), and the Anthropic/Gemini proxy handlers count via `get_tokenizer(model).count_messages`, so a CJK-heavy context read as ~40-55% of its true token size — it could fall under the size/backpressure gates and skip compression, and every `x-headroom-tokens-before` metric for CJK traffic was materially wrong. The fixed-ratio path now applies the same dense-script split. * **ccr:** don't crash `parse_tool_call` on a CCR tool call whose arguments aren't an object. For the OpenAI/`openai_responses` shape the arguments are `json.loads`-decoded and only `JSONDecodeError` was caught, so a model that emitted `arguments='[]'`/`'"abc"'`/`'123'` (decoding to a list/str/number) — or a non-dict Anthropic `input` — reached `input_data.get("hash")` and raised `AttributeError`; a null `arguments` raised an uncaught `TypeError` from `json.loads(None)`. Both are now handled: the decode also catches `TypeError`, and a non-dict `input_data` returns `None` (not a valid CCR call) instead of crashing CCR response processing. diff --git a/headroom/cache/compression_store.py b/headroom/cache/compression_store.py index 84d3e2cf6..f78fedcbb 100644 --- a/headroom/cache/compression_store.py +++ b/headroom/cache/compression_store.py @@ -347,16 +347,22 @@ class CompressionStore: self.process_pending_feedback() with self._lock: - self._evict_if_needed() - - # CRITICAL FIX: Hash collision detection - # If hash already exists with DIFFERENT content, log a warning. - # This indicates either a hash collision or duplicate store calls. + # Decide whether this is a NEW key before evicting.
