Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Streaming requests now correctly surface upstream 429/503 status and Retry-After, which is the intended improvement. Before merging, two runtime concerns should be addressed: a client that disconnects mid-stream can tie up a server thread until the upstream read timeout expires, and an unusually large upstream response frame can grow memory without bound. The new truncated-stream test is also too lenient to catch a regression in mid-stream error reporting. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Cap the upstream SSE frame before queueing it.
RunUpstream appends successful response data to pending until "\n\n" appears, with no size limit. A reachable upstream response can therefore produce an oversized frame. StreamChunkToAnthropic places its delta.content in one serialized event, and PumpEvents checks only whether the current queue is below 4 MiB before adding that event. The queue can exceed the cap by the event size, while pending can grow without bound before parsing. kErrorBodyCap applies only to non-2xx responses.
Cap pending or the complete SSE frame before parsing, and reject or terminate an oversized frame. Splitting queue entries alone does not bound pending.

Interrupt the upstream read before joining the worker.
If the downstream reader disconnects while the upstream stream is idle, cancelled is not checked until content_receiver receives more data. The destructor then waits in join() while client.send() can remain blocked for the configured 600-second read timeout. cpp-httplib uses blocking socket I/O. (github.com)
Add a cancellation mechanism that closes or interrupts the active upstream request before join(). This prevents disconnected streams from retaining server threads for up to ten minutes.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not accept an empty shim response as a passing result.
RunUpstream queues event: error after the upstream stream fails. HandleStreaming sends that event and calls sink.done(), so Shim::Post can return a complete response containing the typed error. If reply is empty, the test must fail. A content receiver is not required.
Proposed fix
if (!reply) {
- // The shim's own connection died with the upstream's. That is a failure the
- // client can see, which is the point of the test.
- result.passed = true;
+ result.details = "the shim connection closed without a typed SSE error";
return result;

Closing as a duplicate: #103 fixes #83 with the same approach (response_handler plus a worker thread) and is already stacked on #82, which is the merge order #81 lays out. This one targets main and would have to be unpicked and rebased to land, for a second fix to a solved problem. One thing worth carrying over. #103's test is a single case, overload_headers_survive_streaming. This branch had four more over real loopback sockets, and they are cheap to add: a pre-stream 503 keeping its status, an ordinary stream still opening and closing properly, the non-streaming 429 regression, and a stream cut short after the first token ending as an error rather than a clean stop. The last of those overlaps #84. Left here for the taking rather than lost: branch siddhesh/anthropic-stream-overload-status, tests/test_wally_anthropic_shim.cpp. |

Closes #83.
The Anthropic shim answered a streaming request with
200 OKbefore it had made the upstream call, so an upstream429withRetry-After: 7reached the editor as a successful reply carrying an SSE error. The status was gone and so was the delay, which is the one piece of information a client needs in order to back off instead of retrying immediately into an endpoint that is already overloaded.The non-streaming path was always correct, because it is synchronous. That is why rate-limit tests never caught this.
Why it happened
set_chunked_content_providermakes httplib write the status and headers immediately, then run the provider callback afterwards. The upstream call lived inside that callback, so the 200 was committed before there was anything to base it on.The change
The upstream call runs on a worker thread, and the request handler waits for the upstream response headers before committing anything downstream. Headers are the first thing off the wire, so the wait costs nothing and does not buffer the body.
A pre-stream refusal now goes back as itself: the real status, the real
Retry-After, and the same JSON error body the non-streaming path produces. A success installs the chunked provider, which drains a queue the worker fills with already-translated events, so the first token still starts the stream.A failure after output has started stays a typed SSE error, since the 200 is genuinely spent by then. It is no longer followed by the closing events, so a truncated answer cannot read as a finished one.
The queue is capped and the worker waits when it is full, so a fast endpoint and a slow editor cannot grow it without bound. A joiner held by the provider's captures shuts the worker down however the stream ends, including when the reader hangs up and httplib never calls the provider again.
Tests
New
tests/test_wally_anthropic_shim.cpp, over real sockets: a mock upstream on a port, the real shim in front of it, a real client talking to the shim. Nothing is stubbed, because the bug is an ordering problem between the downstream header write and the upstream call, and a mocked transport cannot see it.Five cases: a pre-stream 429 keeps its status and delay, a pre-stream 503 keeps its status, an ordinary stream still opens and closes properly, the non-streaming 429 stays correct, and a stream cut short after the first token ends as an error rather than a clean stop.
Break test, with the pre-stream status check disabled:
Restored, 11 of 11 green.
Also checked by hand against the real binary, with a fake endpoint that always refuses. Before:
HTTP/1.1 200 OKand no delay. After:HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many RequestswithRetry-After: 7.Not in this change
src/ide/openai_proxy.cpphas the same bug and is #86. Fixing both here would put two issues in one diff.Qualifying a real Claude client's retry timing against a counting endpoint is still open, as the issue notes. This makes the delay reach the client; it does not prove what the client does with it.
