From a167f5cc299ae78ce94cc6ddc3694af26c5c408b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chopratejas Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 13:30:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(proxy):=20unblock=20Codex=20WS=20compressio?= =?UTF-8?q?n=20=E2=80=94=20delete=20inner-pool=20+=20global=20semaphore?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Production proxy logs (2026-05-14) showed 305 `TimeoutError: forwarding original frame` warnings and 12,905 `slow compression unit elapsed_ms>1s` log entries, with p99 unit elapsed_ms = 587 SECONDS, max = 1987 seconds, and WS session p90 duration = 48 minutes. The cause was a two-layer concurrency bug in `_compress_openai_responses_payload`: * `_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_SEMAPHORE = threading.BoundedSemaphore(10)` — a process-global gate over every compression unit in every frame across every concurrent session. At ~3+ active Codex users it saturates; subsequent units block on acquisition. The 30s parent timeout fires; uncompressed frames forward but the user already waited 30s. * `time.perf_counter()` started BEFORE semaphore acquisition, so `elapsed_ms` conflated wait time with compute. A `strategy=passthrough` unit on 148 bytes (a no-op) showed `elapsed_ms=60917` in the log — 60 seconds of "compression" that was actually 60 seconds of queueing. * `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=worker_count)` was created and torn down per frame, layered on top of the `self._compression_executor` proxy-wide pool. Pool-on-pool plus the global semaphore made the bug self-amplifying. Fix: delete all three. Process routed units serially within the frame- level worker thread. Frame-level parallelism is already provided by the existing `self._compression_executor` (32 workers, sized `min(32, cpu*4)`, instrumented). Bonus: add a structured PERF log emit from `handle_openai_responses_ws` so Codex traffic is no longer invisible to `headroom perf` — same visibility bug class as #327, fixed for Codex. Tier 3 replay against `scripts/replay_codex_ws_load.py` (30 concurrent sessions × 30 frames = 900 frames, 4.6MB) — same machine, before vs after: | metric | pre-fix (main) | post-fix | Δ | |---------------------|-----------------|----------------|------------| | p50 per-frame | 91 ms | 258 ms | +183 % | | p99 per-frame | 2 434 ms | 275 ms | −89 % | | max per-frame | 2 681 ms | 368 ms | −86 % | | p99 / p50 ratio | 27 × | 1.06 × | tail gone | | wall time | 7.54 s | 7.09 s | −6 % | | errors | 0 | 0 | — | The median rises modestly at high load (the cost of KISS: serial units instead of intra-frame parallelism, documented in EC2 of the design). That trade is right: the catastrophic p99 contention tail is what users felt, and it collapses 9×. At low load (10c × 20f) the fix is strictly equal-or-better on every metric — the trade is invisible until the semaphore was actually the binding constraint. Tests * tests/test_codex_ws_compression_scheduler.py — three regression guards: source-level assertions that `_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_SEMAPHORE` and `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor` cannot reappear in handlers/openai.py, plus a concurrency stress test asserting p99 < 1000ms and p99/p50 < 5× at 30 concurrent sessions. * All 95 existing Codex/streaming/cache tests pass with zero regressions. Removed surface * Deleted `_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_MAX_WORKERS`, `_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_SEMAPHORE`, `_codex_ws_unit_worker_count`, and the `HEADROOM_CODEX_WS_UNIT_WORKERS` env knob. Net −13 module- level lines + one undocumented env var gone from the public surface. --- headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py | 77 +++-- tests/test_codex_ws_compression_scheduler.py | 309 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 362 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/test_codex_ws_compression_scheduler.py diff --git a/headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py b/headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py index 9b99d3f03..e5762fc57 100644 --- a/headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py +++ b/headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py @@ -7,14 +7,12 @@ from __future__ import annotations import asyncio import base64 -import concurrent.futures import contextlib import copy import hashlib import json import logging import os -import threading import time import uuid from datetime import datetime @@ -41,23 +39,10 @@ import httpx from headroom.copilot_auth import apply_copilot_api_auth, build_copilot_upstream_url from headroom.pipeline import PipelineStage, summarize_routing_markers from headroom.proxy.auth_mode import classify_auth_mode +from headroom.proxy.cost import _summarize_transforms logger = logging.getLogger("headroom.proxy") -_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_MAX_WORKERS = 10 -_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_SEMAPHORE = threading.BoundedSemaphore(_CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_MAX_WORKERS) - - -def _codex_ws_unit_worker_count(unit_count: int) -> int: - if unit_count <= 1: - return 1 - raw = os.environ.get("HEADROOM_CODEX_WS_UNIT_WORKERS", "4") - try: - requested = int(raw) - except ValueError: - requested = 4 - return max(1, min(unit_count, requested, _CODEX_WS_UNIT_ROUTER_MAX_WORKERS)) - def _codex_ws_text_shape(text: str) -> str: stripped = text.strip() @@ -700,19 +685,26 @@ class OpenAIHandlerMixin: def _compress_routed_unit( routed: RoutedCompressionUnit, ) -> tuple[object, Any, float]: + # `elapsed_ms` is pure compute time.
