fix(combo): hop on unoffered tool-call refusals - #8563
isUnofferedToolCallRefusal in src/combos/failover.ts recognizes the provider verdict The model called a function that was not offered in tools. — a model hallucinating a tool call is target-local evidence, not a request defect.
comboFailureDecision hops and comboFailureCooldownScope returns "none": the provider answered, the request fit, the target is healthy, and the 400 arrives before any output commits, so advancing is replay-safe.
The verdict sentence is anchored inside the same bounded envelope walk its siblings use — closed code/type/param sets, Provider error NNN: / single-line data: carrier peeling, and fail-closed treatment of competing diagnostic carriers or a contradicting root message — so quoted or reflected occurrences (e.g. inside validation text) stay terminal.
Structure contract documented in structure/transports/responses-combo-boundaries.md.
Observed carrier: Provider error 400: {"error":{"message":"Provider error 400: The model called a function that was not offered in tools.","type":"upstream_error","code":null}} — an aggregator re-wrap, now covered at every unwrap depth plus the bare-sentence form.
Verification
bun test tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.ts — 96 pass / 0 fail (8 new cases: all carriers hop without cooldown; echoed/competing/contradictory evidence stays terminal)
bun run typecheck — clean, 2,418 files
bun scripts/structure-ssot.ts — structure/ SSOT checks passed
Full suite not run locally; the focused classification suite covers the changed contract, CI covers the rest.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Combo routing recognizes qualifying HTTP 400 responses indicating a call to an unavailable tool or an unexpected parser control marker before output. For supported response formats, it can continue to another target without applying a cooldown to the refusing target.
Documentation
Added guidance on qualifying refusal responses and how they affect routing and cooldowns.
all PR quality gates passed; the review readiness checklist is complete.

The change adds bounded classification for specific HTTP 400 tool-call and parser-control-marker refusals. A qualifying refusal allows combo routing to try another target without applying a cooldown.
The classifier recognizes supported refusal text and JSON envelopes. consumeComboFailure classifies the intact bounded body and returns the verdict separately from the display text.
Hop and cooldown handling src/combos/failover.ts, src/server/responses/core-combo.ts, tests/routing/router-combo-failover-classification.test.ts, structure/transports/responses-combo-boundaries.md
The verdict is passed to combo failure and cooldown classification. A qualifying refusal allows a hop without cooling the target. Tests cover accepted and rejected forms, including long envelopes; documentation describes the behavior.
lidge-jun/opencodex#7965 — This change classifies a specific unoffered-tool refusal as target-local evidence for failover. The issue's structured exhausted-combo contract remains additional work.
Possibly related PRs
lidge-jun/opencodex#8108 — Both changes use the undeclared-tool refusal data flow. This change classifies the bounded response body to guide hop and cooldown handling.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 0e998
An unusual gateway error with contradictory diagnostics could make routing try another target instead of stopping. This is a narrow edge case. It can be fixed with a small validation change and a test.

Explanation
The title "fix(combo): hop on unoffered tool-call refusals" matches the main change. The PR adds recognition of a pre-output HTTP 400 verdict that the model called a function not offered in tools. For that case, combo failover advances to another target without a cooldown. The title is short, specific, and uses the same terms as the changed code, which includes isUnofferedToolCallRefusal, comboFailureDecision, and comboFailureCooldownScope.

- Line 1050: Update consumeComboFailure to classify the intact bounded refusal
body separately from the 500-character display prefix, and pass that
classification to both stop and cooldown decisions while preserving hard-stop
precedence. Keep the display limit unchanged, and add a regression test through
consumeComboFailure using a long refusal envelope to verify fallback and
cooldown behavior.
- Around line 1067-1069: Update the root-message validation in the failover
verdict path so a recognized carrier prefix is peeled and its contents are
checked against the nested error verdict; reject the envelope when the root
message contradicts that verdict. Add a negative test covering a prefixed root
message that conflicts with the nested refusal.

A provider 400 reporting "The model called a function that was not
offered in tools." is target-local evidence: the model hallucinated a
tool call on a healthy target, the request itself fit, and the refusal
arrives before any output commits. comboFailureDecision now hops and
comboFailureCooldownScope records no cooldown, matching the other
bounded pre-output 400 refusal classes.
The verdict sentence is anchored inside the same bounded envelope walk
its siblings use -- closed code/type/param sets, carrier-prefix peeling,
and fail-closed treatment of competing diagnostic carriers or a
contradicting root message -- so quoted or reflected occurrences cannot
impersonate the verdict.

consumeComboFailure now evaluates isUnofferedToolCallRefusal against the
bounded upstream body and carries the verdict through the new
unofferedToolCallRefusal field, matching the codexModelRefusal /
malformedResponseFormat / openRouterOpaque400 pattern. The 500-char
display prefix stays untouched for clients, but a long refusal envelope
no longer fails the classifier JSON parse and stops the combo.
Also validates carrier-prefixed root messages: a root message wearing a
Provider error/data: prefix is peeled and its contents must still
support the verdict, so a prefixed contradiction can no longer ride a
nested refusal to a hop.

The verdict matcher now covers both observed target-local pre-output
provider verdicts: the unoffered tool call and "The model returned an
unexpected parser control marker; no output was published." Both arrive
as the same bounded upstream_error/400 carrier behind aggregator
re-wraps, so they share one anchored-verdict classifier, envelope walk,
and cooldown/hop wiring.

Vercel AI Gateway wraps the same pre-output verdict as type
AI_APICallError with the verdict duplicated inside an object param and
gateway routing metadata. Accept the type and admit an object param only
when a nested string field independently carries the anchored verdict.
