Makes Gemini 3.8 usable for real agent work while keeping the single Cloudflare AI Gateway, unified billing, and no provider key on the nodes.

Problem

Gemini 3 over the gateway's OpenAI /compat endpoint fails on tool use: it returns a thought_signature on each function call that must be echoed back, and the OpenAI wire format has no field for it — so the second tool call is rejected. msf8-obk failed in 10s with "Function call is missing a thought_signature". The native Gemini surface round-trips it; /compat cannot.

Constraint discovered (staging, verified)

The gateway's native google-ai-studio route bills through Unified Billing only when the request carries just cf-aig-authorization and no upstream Google credential. The AI SDK Google provider always sends x-goog-api-key, which the gateway forwards to Google and Google rejects (API key not valid). So we can't point opencode straight at the gateway without either breaking or putting a real Google key on the node (BYOK — a second bill and a key on an execution node).

Fix — a loopback auth-normalizing proxy

  • internal/geminiproxy: a 127.0.0.1 reverse proxy that strips the client's x-goog-api-key/Authorization, injects cf-aig-authorization, preserves cf-aig-metadata, and forwards to <gateway>/google-ai-studio. The gateway token lives only in the runner process — never in the opencode config file.
  • plan.go: for a google-ai-studio model, opencode is configured with the native @ai-sdk/google provider pointed at the proxy (-m wg-gemini/<model>). Every other model keeps the existing @ai-sdk/openai-compatible /compat block unchanged — full flexibility to switch to any other gateway model is retained.
  • cmd/runner: starts the proxy before building the plan, passes its loopback URL in Spec.GeminiProxyURL, closes it on exit. Only google models use it; a start failure just makes google models refuse, nothing else affected.

Net: Gemini 3.8 with full native tool-use, still through the one gateway, still unified billing (one prepaid balance, one bill), still no provider key on the nodes.

Verification

go vet ./internal/runner/... ./internal/geminiproxy/... ./cmd/runner/...   # clean
go test ./internal/runner/... ./internal/geminiproxy/...                   # ok

Tests: proxy strips/injects the right headers and forwards to the google-ai-studio path; a google model renders the native provider with the token absent from the config; a google model with no proxy URL is refused; workers-ai still uses compat with the token.

Real end-to-end (thought_signature round-trip through opencode's @ai-sdk/google) will be validated by dispatching msf8-obk after deploy.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for Google AI Studio models when using the OpenCode run path.
    • Requests now use an authenticated connection with preserved spend-attribution metadata.
    • Other supported models continue using the existing gateway-compatible connection.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Runs now reject Google AI Studio models when the required gateway connection is unavailable.
    • Proxy startup failures no longer prevent a run from proceeding.

…ing)

Gemini 3 over the gateway's OpenAI /compat endpoint fails on tool use: it
returns a thought_signature on each function call that must be echoed back, and
the OpenAI wire format has no field for it, so the second tool call is rejected
(observed: msf8-obk failed in 10s, "Function call is missing a
thought_signature"). The fix is to use Gemini's NATIVE surface, which round-
trips thought_signature.

The native google-ai-studio route on the gateway bills through unified billing
ONLY when the request carries just cf-aig-authorization and no upstream Google
credential -- and the AI SDK Google provider always sends x-goog-api-key, which
the gateway forwards to Google and Google rejects (confirmed on staging). So a
tiny loopback proxy sits between opencode and the gateway:

- internal/geminiproxy: a 127.0.0.1 reverse proxy that strips the client's
  x-goog-api-key/Authorization, injects cf-aig-authorization, preserves
  cf-aig-metadata, and forwards to <gateway>/google-ai-studio. The gateway token
  lives only in this process, never in the opencode config file.
- plan.go: for a google-ai-studio model, opencode is configured with the native
  @ai-sdk/google provider pointed at the proxy (model ref wg-gemini/<model>);
  every other model keeps the existing @ai-sdk/openai-compatible /compat block
  unchanged. Full flexibility to switch to any other gateway model is retained.
- cmd/runner: starts the proxy before building the plan and passes its loopback
  URL in Spec.GeminiProxyURL; closed when the run exits. Only google models use
  it; a start failure just makes google models refuse, nothing else.

Net effect: Gemini 3.8 with its full native tool-use, still through the one
Cloudflare AI Gateway, still on unified billing (one prepaid balance, one bill),
still no provider key on the execution nodes.

Tests: proxy strips/injects the right headers and forwards to the google-ai-
studio path; a google model renders the native provider with the token ABSENT
from the config; a google model with no proxy URL is refused; workers-ai still
uses compat with the token.

  go vet ./internal/runner/... ./internal/geminiproxy/... ./cmd/runner/...   # clean
  go test ./internal/runner/... ./internal/geminiproxy/...                   # ok

Gemini gateway integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gemini authentication proxy
internal/geminiproxy/proxy.go, internal/geminiproxy/proxy_test.go
Adds a loopback reverse proxy that validates configuration, rewrites Gemini paths and authentication headers, preserves attribution metadata, supports streaming responses, and forwards upstream errors as 502.
OpenCode provider planning
internal/runner/plan.go, internal/runner/plan_test.go
Adds native Google provider configuration through the proxy for google-ai-studio models. Other models retain the gateway-compatible provider. Tests cover model references, metadata, credentials, and missing proxy configuration.
Runner proxy lifecycle wiring
cmd/runner/main.go
Starts and closes the proxy when a gateway is configured, passes its base URL to the runner specification, and logs startup failures as warnings.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 60626

Untrusted runner code could generate billed Gemini traffic with forged attribution, so proxy authentication should be added before merge.

Authorization Bypass

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-306 — Missing Authentication for Critical Function

Authenticate the loopback Gemini proxy. The runner passes the proxy URL to opencode, so agent-controlled code can reach the loopback listener. The proxy injects the gateway credential and preserves caller-controlled cf-aig-metadata. Require a runner-controlled per-proxy credential that is unavailable to the agent, validate it before stripping x-goog-api-key, and overwrite cf-aig-metadata with runner-owned values.
