Problem

When the Coding Plan quota runs out mid-turn, the turn fails terminally: the
Provider retry plugin has a dedicated path for "a subscription-window limit
with a reported reset time" (retry shortly after the window opens, random
spread), but it only engages when the failed turn's provider.error carries
errorInfo.category: "rate-limit" (or HTTP 429) and the thread has a
provider.rateLimits state that is blocked, kind subscription-window,
with a resetsAtMs on a blocked window. bb-zcode emitted neither — every
quota failure was an unclassified dead end.

(Verified against the installed bb's builtin provider-retry server plugin:
decideRetry declines with no-rate-limit-state without the delta; credits
and spend-control kinds are never retried.)

Change

  • Detection (rateLimitFailure in src/usage.ts): matches the CLI's 429
    classifier text, generic 429 / "too many requests" / "rate limit"
    signatures; context-window, authentication, API-key-status, and
    account-service failures are excluded (they keep their existing
    classifications — internal retry from fix(bridge): keep threads alive after ZCode-side failures #6 stays untouched).
  • Classification (settle): a matching failed turn emits provider.error
    with category: "rate-limit" before the boundary.
  • Window state (Usage.rateLimits): one bounded (3 s) live quota read in
    finishTurn (only on a matching failure, never on the hot path) feeds a
    provider.rateLimits delta: subscription-window kind, per-window
    resetsAtMs/status — blocked at 100 %+, warning at 80 %+; a state with
    no known reset stays silent rather than guessing. Sibling windows without
    reset times are kept for visibility.
  • Deliberately no rateLimited recovery-hint fast-fail at submit time:
    the daemon would then block the request entirely, which would wrongly block
    switching to a personal API model in the same session while Coding Plan
    quota is out.

Verification

  • Unit: tests/usage.test.ts — signature table (matches and exclusions),
    blocked state with resets, warning state, silence below thresholds and
    without resets.
  • Integration (tests/core-features.test.ts): 429 turn → provider.error
    rate-limit + provider.rateLimits blocked window, both before the
    boundary; quota read failure → classification without window state;
    context-window failure at 100 % quota → no misclassification.
  • npm run typecheck, full suite 282 tests green (one earlier flake
    re-run clean 3×), format:check clean.
  • bb-side semantics statically verified from the installed daemon-bundle and
    the builtin provider-retry plugin (retry scheduling, consent RPC defaults,
    maximum-wait setting); live quota-exhaustion e2e intentionally not forced.

Docs/knowledge: CHANGELOG, knowledge/contracts/quota-usage-protocol.md
(rateLimits section now documents the implemented push path and the retry
plugin's decision table), knowledge/log.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Rate-limit failures are now identified separately from other errors, with available quota-window status and reset information reported.
    • Quota windows show a warning at 80% usage and blocked status at 100%. When a blocked subscription quota has a known reset time, the retry is scheduled shortly after reset.
    • If quota information is unavailable or no reset time is known, the failure is not automatically retried.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance to describe quota reporting and retry behavior.

A turn that fails on a provider rate limit (the CLI's 429 classifier text,
generic 429 / too-many-requests / rate-limit signatures; context-window,
authentication, and account failures excluded) now emits provider.error with
errorInfo.category 'rate-limit' before the boundary, plus a
provider.rateLimits subscription-window state fed by one bounded (3 s) live
quota read: windows at 100 %+ are blocked with their reset timestamps, 80 %+
warning, and a state with no known reset stays silent.

bb's Provider retry plugin keys on exactly this: the category selects the
rate-limit branch and the blocked window's resetsAtMs schedules the retry
shortly after the window opens (15-30 s spread), instead of leaving the turn
failed or retrying blindly. A failed or slow quota read drops only the window
state, never the classification; non-quota failures at high quota are not
misclassified. The rateLimited recovery-hint fast-fail at submit is
deliberately not used: it would block legitimate in-session switches to a
personal API model while Coding Plan quota is out.

Wire semantics recorded in knowledge/contracts/quota-usage-protocol.md.

Walkthrough

The bridge now classifies rate-limit failures and reports available quota-window state. Usage logic assigns window statuses and builds provider rate-limit deltas. Tests cover classification, quota lookup results, and emitted events. Documentation describes thresholds, reset requirements, and retry timing.

Changes: Quota rate-limit handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rate-limit classification and quota state
src/usage.ts, tests/usage.test.ts
rateLimitFailure matches rate-limit and HTTP 429 messages while excluding specified error categories. Usage.rateLimits builds deltas from quota windows, with blocked at 100%, warning at 80%, and no delta when no retained window has a known reset or all retained windows are allowed.
Failed-turn reporting and quota lookup
src/bridge.ts, tests/core-features.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md, knowledge/contracts/quota-usage-protocol.md, knowledge/log.md
For qualifying failed turns, the bridge emits a rate-limit provider error and performs a quota lookup bounded to 3 seconds. It passes returned windows to settlement for delta generation. Integration tests cover returned windows, unavailable quota data, and non-quota failures. The documentation describes the thresholds, retry conditions, and timing.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to df9ed

The quota read is meant to delay turn settlement by at most 3 seconds, but that bound does not take effect. After a rate-limited failure, the session can stay busy for the length of a slow quota request, typically up to about 15 seconds and possibly longer. Fix the timer so it resolves the race and clears afterward, and add a test for a hanging read before merging.

Explanation

The title "feat(bridge): classify rate-limited turns and push quota window state" names the two main changes in the changeset. The bridge now classifies failed rate-limited turns as rate-limit provider errors, and it publishes provider.rateLimits quota-window state from a bounded quota read. The changes in src/usage.ts, src/bridge.ts, the tests, and the docs all support this title. The title is specific and uses a conventional commit format. It is 69 characters, which is within a normal title length.

P2 Badge Resolve the timeout promise when the quota deadline expires

When the quota service takes longer than three seconds, this timeout never wins the race: the promise executor only returns timer, which does not resolve the promise, and the timer callback never calls resolve. Consequently, finishTurn waits for the entire quota request while keeping session.draining true and withholding the turn boundary and queued prompts. The production account request has a 15-second timeout, and credential renewal can add further requests. Create the timer inside the promise executor and resolve it when the deadline expires, then clear it after the race completes.

Add a test for the timeout path.

The tests resolve usageWindows at once. No test covers a hanging read, so the broken timeout at Line 807 was not caught. Add a test with a never-resolving usageWindows and fake timers. Assert that the error delta and turn.boundary still arrive.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Log entry presents unverified behavior as verified.

The entry says the work was "Verified against the installed bb's builtin provider-retry plugin". The PR states this was a static check only. No live quota-exhaustion run was done. The entry also repeats the 3 s bound claim, which the code does not enforce.

Say "statically checked, not exercised live". As per coding guidelines, separate confirmed facts from hypotheses.

The 3 s bound never fires. A hung quota read blocks turn settlement.

The promise at Line 807 never calls resolve. It ignores resolve and returns timer from the executor. Promise.race therefore waits only for usageWindows().

If usageWindows() hangs, finishTurn never reaches settle. session.draining stays true. The session rejects new sends with "ZCode is busy". The queued prompts also stay stuck. The comment at Line 800 says a slow read never delays settlement. That claim is false.

Resolve the timeout promise from the timer callback. Clear the timer when the read finishes.
