From 5c5f73a9ee45077d0dcc33d6d30951bc629681a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian O'Kelley Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 16:47:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(server): collect stranded defs, memoize the escape hatch, soften a claim MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Follow-up to #1507, which merged before these landed. The 8.x backport's review (#1512) found three things that apply to main too. Repointing a widened union arm strands the definition it left behind, and `_drop_unreachable_defs` runs before the widener so nothing collects it. That is not just dead weight on the payload #1507 exists to shrink: the stranded twin still carries the narrow `status: {"const": "completed"}`, so a client resolving definitions by model name rather than by following `$ref` — which the dotted `$defs` names invite — picks exactly the shape the widening replaces. The widener now reports whether it fired, and unreachable definitions are collected again when it did. It also decides which arm to widen before copying, rather than cloning every arm and discarding all but one: that was shipping three `*LegacyStatus` definitions per tool with one referenced. `schema_mode="inline"` and `"defs"` regenerate the whole Pydantic graph on every call. That is the documented way to restore the pre-#1507 output shape, and it lands on per-request callers, so the remediation was also the expensive path: ~7.5s per call for a 13-tool handler. Generated schemas are now memoized per (kind, mode, tool) and deep-copied out, since a tool definition handed to a caller is an ordinary mutable value. Repeat calls: defs 7.5s -> 0.40s, inline 7.4s -> 1.05s. The anti-smuggling claim in #1507 was too strong. Where a Pydantic model sets `extra="allow"` — `Product` and most response roots — the advertised object is open in every mode, so keeping closed objects closed is schema fidelity, not a filter a buyer can lean on to catch a seller smuggling fields past it. Reworded where it was stated. Tests: the smuggling test now uses `control_media_buy`, whose success arm is both closed and drops an optional, and asserts the clean payload validates first so the unknown key is the only variable — the version in #1507 passed because its sample omitted eight required fields, and passed just as happily with the smuggled key removed. Plus coverage for the non-compact escape hatch actually reaching output schemas (deleting that wiring left 175 tests green), and a sweep for dangling `$ref`s.
