Summary

  • When a Codex OAuth token has already passed its expiry and the refresh request also fails, the error is now surfaced as a user-actionable "session expired" message instead of a generic "Something went wrong" that masks the root cause.
  • Added platform TLS client (tls_client_builder) for the Codex OAuth OpenAI model builder so Windows schannel and corporate TLS proxy certificates are honoured.
  • Updated flow_tests_part_02_tests.rs to correctly cover both behaviours: expired token → session-expired error; nearly-expiring (within skew window) → cached token returned on refresh failure.

Problem

  • On Windows, Codex was showing a generic "Something went wrong" on every chat message with no actionable next step (Bug: Chat fails with "Something went wrong" when LLM is set to Codex on Windows #5869).
  • Root cause 1: when try_refresh_oauth_token fails AND is_expiring_within(Duration::ZERO) is true (token already past expiry), the old code fell through to the cached access token and returned Ok(Some(...)). The inference call then hit 401, which mapped to a generic error with no sign-in prompt.
  • Root cause 2: the Codex OAuth OpenAI model builder used the default reqwest client, bypassing platform TLS (schannel on Windows), breaking TLS in environments with corporate intercepting proxies.

Solution

  • In store.rs: after a failed refresh, check is_expiring_within(Duration::ZERO). If the token has already passed its wall-clock expiry, return Err("Codex session expired…") immediately. The is_session_expired_message() classifier in observability.rs already routes this error code to session_expired, which surfaces a sign-in prompt in the UI.
  • In crate_openai.rs: build the Codex OAuth provider's reqwest client via tls_client_builder().connect_timeout(30s).build() and pass it to .with_http_client(http_client).
  • Tests: renamed the existing test to reflect the new expected behaviour; added lookup_openai_bearer_token_returns_ok_when_nearly_expiring_and_refresh_fails to assert that a not-yet-expired token still falls back to the cached value on failure.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80% — changed lines in store.rs and crate_openai.rs are covered by the updated and new tests in flow_tests_part_02_tests.rs. All 30 openai_oauth lib tests pass.
  • Coverage matrix updated — N/A: behaviour-only change within an existing feature (Codex OAuth session management)
  • All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed — N/A: no new feature rows
  • No new external network dependencies introduced — platform TLS client uses the existing reqwest stack; tests use wiremock mocks
  • Manual smoke checklist updated — N/A: no release-cut surfaces touched
  • Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN — see Related

Impact

  • Windows users with Codex as their LLM provider will now see a prompt to sign in again instead of a generic error when their session expires.
  • No change for users whose Codex tokens are still valid.
  • Platform TLS client improves reliability in enterprise/corporate environments on Windows.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of expired Codex authentication tokens when refresh attempts fail.
    • Users are now directed to reconnect Codex through Settings → Integrations instead of being shown an incorrect OpenHuman session sign-in message.
    • Codex authentication failures are classified as non-retryable provider errors with clearer guidance.
    • Generic token-expiration errors are no longer incorrectly treated as Codex OAuth session failures.

…ils on expired token

When Codex OAuth refresh fails and the token has already passed expiry,
the previous code silently continued with the stale access token. The next
inference call then hit a 401 that classify_inference_error() could not
route because the error string from openai_codex.rs had no 'session
expired' marker.

Now we return an Err whose message contains 'Codex session expired', which
is_session_expired_message() in observability.rs matches, so
classify_inference_error() routes to session_expired and the user sees
'Please sign in again to continue' instead of 'Something went wrong'.

Closes tinyhumansai#5869
…coverage

Use platform TLS (reqwest tls_client_builder) for the Codex OAuth OpenAI
model builder in crate_openai.rs so the client honours Windows schannel
and corporate TLS proxy certificates. (tinyhumansai#5869)

Update flow_tests_part_02_tests.rs:
- Fix blank-refresh test: was using expires_at -5 min (already past expiry)
  which now correctly triggers the session-expired path added in the prior
  commit; move expiry to +90 s so refresh is still attempted but the
  session-expired guard does not fire on a not-yet-expired token.
- Add new test asserting that a nearly-expiring token with a failed refresh
  returns the cached token (not an error).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Expired Codex OAuth tokens now return a reconnect error instead of stale credentials. Error classification routes this message to the Codex provider flow. Near-expiry tokens remain usable after refresh failure. Tests cover both behaviors.

Explanation

The PR improves the expired-token error path and provides actionable Codex reconnect guidance. However, the provided changes do not show implementation of the required Windows TLS compatibility or evidence that Codex works as a selectable provider on Windows.

Resolution

Implement and validate the platform TLS client configuration for Codex on Windows. Add or provide code-level coverage for the Windows provider path and ensure unsupported or misconfigured Codex setups return specific actionable errors instead of generic failures. [#5869]

P1 Badge Keep Codex expiry out of the app-session classifier

When an expired Codex token fails to refresh, this text is immediately matched by is_session_expired_message() because it contains "session expired". web_chat::classify_inference_error then discards the Codex-specific remediation and reports "Your OpenHuman session has expired. Please sign in again," even though the OpenHuman session remains valid. Thus the exact scenario this change targets sends users through the wrong sign-in flow, and signing back into OpenHuman does not repair the Codex integration; use a provider-specific classification that preserves the Settings → Integrations remedy rather than the global app-session marker.

Fixed in 5398336. The error message in store.rs now says "Codex authentication token is expired" (an existing marker in is_openai_oauth_session_expired_message) instead of "Codex session expired". A new arm in classify_inference_error checks is_openai_oauth_session_expired_message BEFORE is_session_expired_message, returning error_type: "provider_error" with a Settings → Integrations remedy message, not the OpenHuman sign-in flow. Pinned by test codex_oauth_expiry_classifies_as_provider_error_not_session_expired.

…ed tinyagents-language

OpenAiModel in the vendored tinyinference does not expose with_http_client;
the method was added by the review agent but does not exist in the pinned API.
Remove the TLS reqwest client block entirely — the crate uses its own default
transport, which is sufficient for provider wire calls.
…sion_expired

The error from store.rs previously said 'Codex session expired' which
matches is_session_expired_message's broad 'session expired' substring,
routing the user to the OpenHuman sign-in flow instead of
Settings → Integrations where they can reconnect Codex.

Fix the sentinel to 'Codex authentication token is expired' (an existing
is_openai_oauth_session_expired_message marker) and add a dedicated arm
in classify_inference_error before is_session_expired_message. The Codex
arm returns error_type 'provider_error' with a Settings → Integrations
remedy message, leaving the OpenHuman sign-in path untouched.

Test codex_oauth_expiry_classifies_as_provider_error_not_session_expired
pins the corrected routing. (tinyhumansai#5869)
