turingcat 81f4f93082 fix(opencode-go): send stable session header (#3800)
- add a dedicated OpenCode Go executor that always sends x-opencode-session
- preserve a valid caller-provided native OpenCode session header
- translate downstream Agent session IDs into opaque, stable, Agent-scoped IDs
- forward the original provider session seed and client tool on both initial and credential-refresh requests

OpenCode Go Session Header Design

Problem

OpenCode Go will begin rejecting some requests without an x-opencode-session header on September 6, 2026. In 9Router v0.5.65, opencode-go uses DefaultExecutor, whose generic header builder does not add that header. The specialized OpenCode Free executor already sends it, but that logic does not apply to the paid OpenCode Go provider or its three transports.

Goals

  • Add x-opencode-session to every OpenCode Go chat, Claude Messages, and OpenAI Responses request.
  • Translate a downstream conversation identity into a stable upstream identity.
  • Keep identities isolated across different downstream agents and conversations.
  • Avoid exposing non-OpenCode downstream session identifiers to OpenCode Go.
  • Avoid mutable session state on the shared executor singleton.
  • Leave OpenCode Free and all unrelated providers unchanged.

Non-Goals

  • Inferring an exact conversation boundary when a downstream client provides no session or conversation identifier.
  • Adding or changing OpenCode Go models, routing, reasoning, or tool behavior.
  • Changing the general session-resolution policy for other providers.

Architecture

Add a dedicated OpenCodeGoExecutor extending DefaultExecutor. The executor keeps the existing generic URL, authentication, translation, retry, and proxy behavior, and overrides only the OpenCode Go session-header concern.

handleChatCore already resolves a provider-scoped session from the original request before translation. It will pass that value and the detected client tool to executor.execute() as request context. OpenCodeGoExecutor.execute() will create a shallow request-local credentials object containing the resolved OpenCode Go session. It will then delegate to DefaultExecutor.execute(). This avoids storing request state on the executor singleton or mutating shared provider credentials.

Session Resolution

The original downstream request remains the source of truth. Existing resolveSessionId() behavior recognizes Claude Code, Antigravity, generic session headers, and common body fields before request translation can discard them.

Resolution rules:

  1. If the downstream request supplies x-opencode-session, treat it as an authoritative OpenCode identity after trimming and length validation.
  2. Otherwise use the provider-scoped session resolved from the original request.
  3. Namespace the resolved value with the detected downstream agent, falling back to generic when the agent is unknown.
  4. Convert the namespaced value to an opaque deterministic identifier: ses_ plus the first 32 hexadecimal characters of SHA-256.
  5. If no explicit downstream identity exists, the existing provider connection fallback guarantees that a header is still sent. It is stable but cannot distinguish multiple conversations sharing that connection.

The same input conversation produces the same upstream identifier for all three OpenCode Go transports. Different agents using the same raw session value produce different identifiers.

Header Injection

OpenCodeGoExecutor.buildHeaders() delegates to DefaultExecutor.buildHeaders() and adds only:

x-opencode-session: <stable-session-id>

The implementation applies to:

  • https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions
  • https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/messages
  • https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/responses

Error Handling

Session derivation must not make requests fail. Invalid or oversized native header values are ignored and the normal resolved-session fallback is used. Hashing uses Node's built-in crypto module and requires no new dependency.

Testing

Add a focused unit suite that proves:

  • all three OpenCode Go transports receive the header;
  • the same conversation remains stable across requests and transports;
  • different conversations produce different values;
  • different agents using the same raw ID remain isolated;
  • non-OpenCode session IDs are represented as opaque ses_<32 hex> values;
  • a valid native x-opencode-session remains stable;
  • headerless requests still receive a stable fallback;
  • OpenCode Free behavior is unchanged;
  • unrelated DefaultExecutor providers do not receive the header;
  • no request state is retained on the shared executor instance.

Run the focused unit tests first, then the neighboring executor/session tests, the full offline test suite, the application build, and the CLI package build.

Delivery

Build the CLI with npm --prefix cli run build, create a package with npm --prefix cli pack, and install the generated tarball globally to replace the current npm-installed 9router@0.5.65. Verify the installed package version and packaged source contains the new executor.

Upstream issue #3759 already tracks the problem, so no duplicate issue will be created. The pull request will be narrowly scoped to this fix, reference Fixes #3759, and explain how it differs from the broader open PR #3780.
