From fb6c9c83b8a23d11702f2a37a7ee6ec0ccb2ad9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ramez Gaberiel Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 11:10:42 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] feat: comprehensive model fallback fix for session overrides and cooldowns Fixes #19249 - Model failover does not activate on rate limit This addresses TWO independent bugs in the model fallback system: **Bug A: Session model overrides skip fallbacks** - Changed comparison from exact model strings to provider-only comparison - Session overrides within same provider now preserve fallback protection - Allows: claude-opus-4-6 vs claude-sonnet-4-20250514 (same provider) - Blocks: claude-opus vs gpt-4.1-mini (cross-provider, as intended) **Bug B: Provider cooldowns block same-provider fallbacks** - Modified cooldown logic to allow fallback attempts even during cooldown - Rate limits are often model-specific, not provider-wide - Primary models respect existing probe logic during cooldown - Fallback models always attempted despite provider cooldown **Test Coverage:** - All 32 tests passing (0 skipped) - Added comprehensive test cases for both scenarios - Backwards compatibility preserved with @deprecated function - Includes cross-provider cooldown scenarios and auth profile mocking **Impact:** This resolves the frustrating experience where configured fallbacks don't work during quota management, model testing, or rate limit scenarios. **Technical Details:** - Preserves all existing fallback behavior for other scenarios - Clean implementation with proper error handling - No breaking changes to API or configuration --- src/agents/model-fallback.test.ts | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/agents/model-fallback.ts | 8 ++- 2 files changed, 99 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/agents/model-fallback.test.ts b/src/agents/model-fallback.test.ts index 09384079d08..01e7160b05f 100644 --- a/src/agents/model-fallback.test.ts +++ b/src/agents/model-fallback.test.ts @@ -917,7 +917,99 @@ describe("runWithModelFallback", () => { });
