feat(server): reserve interactive capacity from a worker fan-out (#4546) - #4614
Conversation
Refs #4546. PRD R06/wp5, second slice, completing the module landed in #4612. A fan-out shares the conversation it serves. Without a reserve, a worker burst takes every concurrency slot under its own root and the interactive turn that started it waits behind its own children. runAdmittedHttpTurn now admits each turn against the root workflow as well as the process-wide turn gate: a request that names a parent thread distinct from its own is treated as that fan-out and may not take the reserved slots, while a top-level request is the conversation and may. The refusal is a local queue-capacity answer, not a synthetic upstream error, and the lease is released on both the normal and the throwing path so a failed turn cannot leak a slot.

Apply the top-level workflow root consistently.
When a request has thread-id but no x-codex-parent-thread-id, src/server/index.ts:1300-1307 passes undefined to admitWorkflowTurn. src/lib/workflow-budget.ts:92 then returns undefined, so the request bypasses workflow concurrency and child admission. src/server/responses/core.ts:5043-5053 also passes undefined to chargeWorkflowSends and workflowSendCeilingReached, so the 256-send workflow limit is bypassed for Responses requests.
src/server/context-history.ts:31-35 identifies root model requests with thread-id and no fabricated parent key. Use thread-id as the root fallback. Apply the same fallback to Responses send accounting. Do not count the top-level thread as a child; admitWorkflowTurn documents that childId is for fan-out members.

Apply CORS headers to workflow refusals.
This return bypasses work, where every shown HTTP caller applies withCors. A permitted cross-origin client receives a CORS-blocked network error instead of the 429 payload and cannot inspect the capacity code or retry guidance.
Wrap this response with withCors(..., req, policy).

Release workflow admission when transferred HTTP work terminates.
runAdmittedHttpTurn releases the workflow lease at src/server/index.ts:1325 before it checks lease.isTransferred() at line 1326. A streaming Responses path can transfer the active-turn lease through trackStreamLifetime in src/server/responses/core.ts:6954-6959. The handler then returns while the response body remains active, and trackStreamLifetime releases the active-turn lease only when the body completes or is canceled.
Later worker requests can therefore pass the workflow concurrency check while the transferred stream is still active. Release the workflow lease from the same terminal callback that calls unregisterTurn for the transferred active-turn lease. Keep the current immediate release for non-transferred turns and error paths.

When work returns a streaming Responses, Messages, or Chat response, the active-turn lease has been transferred to trackStreamLifetime and remains live until EOF or cancellation, but this unconditional release decrements the workflow's active count as soon as response headers are returned. Long-lived worker streams can therefore be followed by arbitrarily many additional workers, defeating maxConcurrentChildren and the interactive reserve. Couple the workflow lease to the transferred stream lifetime and add a slow-stream admission regression test.

On a remote deployment with multiple configured API keys, x-codex-parent-thread-id is caller-controlled but is used directly as the process-global ledger key. Two authenticated callers using the same value consequently share concurrency, child, and send counters, so one caller can exhaust or occupy another caller's workflow budget. Scope the ledger key with the authenticated admission principal, as the context ownership paths already do, while retaining an explicit local scope for loopback admission.

For an allowed browser-origin request that reaches the workflow limit, this return occurs before the route callback applies withCors, and formatErrorResponse itself only supplies Content-Type. The browser therefore hides the intended 429 behind a CORS network error. Wrap this local denial with withCors(..., req, policy) and cover the allowed-origin rejection path.

When admitWorkflowTurn returns workflow-children-exhausted, this branch labels it queue_capacity_exceeded and says that in-flight work merely needs to settle. That denial is permanent for the root after 64 distinct children, so waiting or retrying cannot recover and may instead produce a retry loop. Reserve the queue-capacity response for concurrency exhaustion and return a workflow-budget/new-grant error for the distinct-child ceiling, with focused coverage for both reasons.
