The no-args /model picker calls list_authenticated_providers(), which walks
every provider through load_pool(). For copilot, _seed_from_singletons()
re-runs the raw-token -> API-token exchange on every pass. When the exchange
is rejected (HTTP 403: token not Copilot-entitled, revoked, org-blocked),
the transient-network retry loop slept ~4.5s (1.5s + 3.0s backoff) before
degrading to the raw token — and nothing cached the failure, so EVERY picker
open, provider discovery pass, delegation spawn, and dashboard credential
listing paid the full 4.5s again.
Measured on a machine with a 403-rejected gh token: /model picker payload
build went from 7.3s to 1.0s cold and 0.06s warm.
Fixes:
- Permanent HTTP rejections (401/403/404) skip the retry backoff entirely —
the loop exists for startup network races, not auth rejections.
- Negative cache keyed on token fingerprint: failed exchanges are not
re-attempted for 30min (auth rejection) / 60s (transient network error).
- Success and evict_cached_exchanged_token() both clear the negative-cache
entry, so the runtime stale-credential recovery path still forces a fresh
exchange.
- Bound ALL reads of the on-disk JWT store through one _read_jwt_store()
helper (load, eviction, save-merge) — the 1 MiB cap previously only
covered the load path; eviction and save could still parse an
oversized/corrupt store and rewrite it back out (sweeper finding).
- Fix the class, not the site: the recovery gates checked the literal
provider == "copilot" while /model and profile configs can leave the
alias spelling in place (the reporter's own log shows provider=copilot
AND provider=github-copilot in one session — the aliased turns would
have silently skipped recovery). Single owner:
AIAgent._is_copilot_provider() (slug aliases + Copilot base-URL
fallback), used by both run_agent recovery methods and both
conversation_loop gates.
- Update the salvaged 401 test to current main's client-retirement
contract (release deferred to GC — no synchronous .close()).
- Add copilot_stale_cred_retry_attempted to the TurnRetryState field
contract test; add bounded-store and alias-gate regression tests.
Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Two changes that complete the Copilot auth story (#7731 parts 3 and 4):
1. Switch OAuth client ID from opencode (Ov23li8tweQw6odWQebz) to VS Code
(Iv1.b507a08c87ecfe98). The old ID produces gho_* tokens that return
404 on /copilot_internal/v2/token, making token exchange non-functional.
The new ID produces ghu_* tokens that support exchange.
2. Derive enterprise API base URL from the proxy-ep field in the exchanged
token. Enterprise accounts get tokens containing e.g.
"proxy-ep=proxy.enterprise.githubcopilot.com" which is converted to
"https://api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com" and stored in the credential
pool. Individual accounts (no proxy-ep) continue using the default URL.
The COPILOT_API_BASE_URL env var remains as a user escape hatch.
Tested on both Individual and Enterprise Copilot accounts:
- Individual: device flow works, exchange succeeds, base_url=None (default)
- Enterprise: device flow works, exchange succeeds, 39 models returned
including claude-opus-4.6-1m (936K), enterprise base URL derived
Parts 3 and 4 of #7731.
Raw GitHub tokens (gho_/github_pat_/ghu_) are now exchanged for
short-lived Copilot API tokens via /copilot_internal/v2/token before
being used as Bearer credentials. This is required to access
internal-only models (e.g. claude-opus-4.6-1m with 1M context).
Implementation:
- exchange_copilot_token(): calls the token exchange endpoint with
in-process caching (dict keyed by SHA-256 fingerprint), refreshed
2 minutes before expiry. No disk persistence — gateway is long-running
so in-memory cache is sufficient.
- get_copilot_api_token(): convenience wrapper with graceful fallback —
returns exchanged token on success, raw token on failure.
- Both callers (hermes_cli/auth.py and agent/credential_pool.py) now
pipe the raw token through get_copilot_api_token() before use.
12 new tests covering exchange, caching, expiry, error handling,
fingerprinting, and caller integration. All 185 existing copilot/auth
tests pass.
