Name the provider that rate-limited a session (BB-172) - #4699
Conversation
A 429 on the user's own provider key failed a swarm session as "The session
failed for an unknown reason." Three separate gaps produced that, fixed here
in the order the error travels.
`classifyTurnFailure` decides rate_limited vs failed and its regex had no
`429` alternative, despite a doc comment claiming it matched "429-phrased"
errors. On the local-BYOK path `runner.ts` re-throws the provider's sentence
with no code or HTTP status appended, so a throttled key arrives as prose
only and fell straight through to a hard failure.
`classifyRateLimit` then split account-wide caps from per-host provider
limits by matching /spend|cap|quota|budget/. No MCPJam limit copy contains
any of those words — not "Daily credit limit reached.", not
"Daily MCPJam model limit reached.", and none of the denial codes. Every
account-wide limit was therefore treated as a per-host rate limit, and the
run kept burning its remaining targets against a limit no other host could
escape. The four existing tests passed on invented fixtures ("Daily spend cap
reached") that no producer emits. It now keys on the backend denial code,
which `runner.ts` concatenates into the message, and keeps the prose check as
a second signal.
`classifyHttpStatus` in the SDK describer mapped 401 and 403 and let 429 fall
to `internal/unknown`, so the catalog's `provider/quota` entry was
unreachable. Routed by status and, for the local-BYOK shape that loses the
status field, by message. The message regex is `429`/"too many requests"
rather than "rate limit" on purpose: that broader wording also matches
MCPJam's own account limit, which is a different slug with different advice.
Verified against measured baselines rather than raw pass/fail: server suite
holds at 73 pre-existing failures across the same 17 harness-local files and
gains 4 passing tests; server tsc holds at 226 pre-existing errors, none in
the touched files; SDK describer 117/117 and `typecheck -w @mcpjam/sdk` clean.
Rendering the per-session card is a follow-up.
Refs BB-172
…apper
A session throttled by the user's own provider still failed as a hard
`failed`, showing "No output generated. Check the stream for errors." The
regex widened in the previous commit never saw the 429 at all.
`consumeDirectChatTurnHeadless` drains a turn by awaiting the AI SDK's
accessors. `consumeStream()` swallows the stream's error and resolves; the
next `await handle.result.response` rejects with `NoOutputGeneratedError`,
whose sentence names neither the provider nor a status. That exception
escapes `runUnifiedAssistantTurn`, so the runner never reaches its
`if (lastEngineError) throw new Error(lastEngineError.message)` and the
message the engine did capture is discarded. `classifyTurnFailure` matches
none of its alternatives against the wrapper, so the outcome is `failed`
and no per-session card can render.
Measured against ai@6.0.160 and a local 429 server: the error reaches ONLY
`streamText`'s `onError` — `consumeStream({ onError })` is never called,
so capturing it there does nothing — and it arrives before the accessors
reject. `runDirectChatTurn` therefore keeps the error its `onError` already
sees (an abort excluded, since that branch returns first) and exposes it as
`lastStreamError`; the headless consumer throws it in place of any
rejection that follows. Every consumer of that terminal gains this, not
just swarms: chat on an org custom provider surfaced the same wrapper.
Verified against the real functions, no mocks: driving `runDirectChatTurn`
+ `consumeDirectChatTurnHeadless` at a 429 provider, the escaping error is
`RetryError: Failed after 3 attempts. Last error: Too Many Requests` and
`classifyTurnFailure` returns `rate_limited`. Reproduced in the app before
the fix: 15 swarm sessions against a fake 429 provider, 90 POSTs served,
every session red with the wrapper text.
The added assertions use the RetryError wording rather than a synthetic
"429 Too Many Requests", and the abort case is pinned so a cancelled turn
keeps reporting the abort instead of a stream error.
Verified: direct-chat-turn 21/21 (the new case failed first with the
wrapper message), that terminal's consumers plus sessionSimulation and the
mcp routes 859/859 across 49 files, SDK describer 118/118, `typecheck -w
@mcpjam/sdk` clean, server tsc 228 — exactly main's count, no error in a
touched file.
Refs BB-172
Follow-up to the classification fix. A session stopped by a 429 now says which provider throttled the key and what actually helps, instead of the raw agent sentence in muted grey. Two failures land in the same amber cell and need opposite advice. MCPJam's account limit is lifted by credit or BYOK. A provider throttling the user's own key is lifted only by waiting or switching model — no MCPJam purchase touches it, which is why this is a card on the session rather than a modal with a billing CTA. `isAccountLimit` moves into shared/swarm-attempt-error.ts so the runner's whole-run stop and the run screen's copy read one list of denial codes; the runner drops its private copy. The provider name comes from the model pinned on the host, joined on the attempt's own chatSessionId. Two environments can share a host and pin different models, so matching on hostId would let the banner name a provider that throttled nothing; an attempt with no session row to join stays generic rather than guessing. Same reason the label is not `providerForModelId` directly: that classifier is total, so every unprefixed id falls through to `ollama`, and printing a default would blame the wrong vendor. The session pane resolves its own outcome and was not being handed the attempt row, so it read the chat-session lifecycle instead: a real run completes that lifecycle and reports the live cell as done while the attempt holds the refusal, which left the pane showing a green "Done" and no card on a throttled session — the exact failure `resolveSwarmCellOutcome`'s attempt-precedence exists to prevent. It now takes the attempt, joined the same way the cells are. Found by running the swarm against a 429 provider, not by the tests: those fed the pane a live cell status of `rate_limited`, which the app does not produce. The card renders in the session pane, which is the only per-session surface wide enough for it — the chip is 7.5rem. A compact amber line above the table counts the stopped sessions, because three of twelve can be throttled while the swarm keeps working and nobody finds that by clicking each chip. The existing run banner stays as it was; it only speaks when no session ran at all. The card's slug, severity, origin and docs link come from the catalog's `provider/quota` entry rather than being restated, and the test asserts against that entry — a literal would have stayed green while the card drifted from how every other quota failure renders. Verified: client swarms and shared 1802/1802 across 126 files, `typecheck:client` clean including the renderer-tier-b layering guard, and both regression tests confirmed to fail with their own fix reverted. Refs BB-172
On a terminal run with at least one success and at least one non-success, the run screen showed "No sessions ran — the model provider refused the request." directly under a title reading "Swarm finished 15 of 15 sessions". Seen on a real run: 13 sessions throttled by a provider 429 and 2 clean ones. The gate was `!allTerminal || rateLimited + failed === 0`, which reads "some attempt did not succeed" — not "nothing ran", the precondition every line of the copy assumes. One success now silences the banner. Those sessions already speak through their own chips, and a provider throttle reports itself in the amber line above the table. Pre-existing, not introduced by this branch's card; the card just made the contradiction easy to see. The new test pins the mixed run, and the file's two existing cases keep their single-attempt shape through an explicit fixture reset rather than relying on test order. Verified: client swarms and shared 1803/1803 across 126 files, the new case failed first with the banner still rendered, `typecheck:client` clean. Refs BB-172

Right, and fixed in 032fe7c. The pane now reads the attempt row ahead of the stream, for both halves:

Fixed in 032fe7c. RunSessionsView in SwarmsTab.tsx resolves it from the run and passes it:
const selectedAttempt = matrixSelection
? findAttemptForSelection(run.attempts, matrixSelection)
: null;run.attempts was already on the context value, so this needed no plumbing. The prop stays optional because the pane is also rendered before a selection exists.
No test on this one: the completed-run pane needs the whole SwarmsTab + RunSessionsProvider tree stood up, and the existing SwarmsTab.sessions harness does not render the pane. The join it calls is covered directly.
… a failed attempt
Review found two holes in the 429 classification this branch added.
`\b429\b` matched the port in "connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:429", so a
connection failure was reported as a rate limit and, in the SDK describer, the
transport reason never reached `messageSlug`. Both matchers now require the 429
not to follow `:` or `.`, which keeps every real shape ("429 Too Many Requests",
"status 429", "(429, HTTP 429)") and drops ports and decimals.
`ACCOUNT_LIMIT_CODE` could not fire for half its own list. `classifyTurnFailure`
folds only rate-limit wording into `rate_limited`, and `wallet_locked`,
`billing_limit_reached` and `billing_feature_not_included` carry none — those
attempts arrive as `failed`, which never reached `classifyRateLimit`. The
fan-out now reads the denial code off a failed attempt too, so an account-wide
limit halts the whole run instead of burning the remaining targets. The existing
test passed only because it drove those envelopes as `rate_limited`, an outcome
the core never produces for them; it now uses the real outcome and fails without
the fix.
The abort test asserted `result.aborted` alone, which holds whether or not
`onError` recorded the error, so it now pins `lastStreamError()` as undefined.
A parity test keeps `ACCOUNT_LIMIT_CODE` covering every `USER_OWNED_DENIAL_CODES`
entry rather than merging two lists that answer different questions.
…rate-limit-card # Conflicts: # mcpjam-inspector/server/services/sessionSimulation/swarm-runner.ts
…s join to itself Review found four ways the rate-limit card blames the wrong thing. `humanizeSwarmAttemptError` carries a code through only for the codes it words itself, so reading `info.code` back off its result loses the one that matters: the whole-run finalize stamps `spend_cap_exceeded` with no message at all. Both the run banner and the session pane therefore rendered "Your provider rate-limited this key" for MCPJam's own cap — advice that no amount of waiting fixes. Both now pass `attempt.errorCode`, and the pane reads the attempt's message ahead of the live stream's. `SwarmsTab`'s completed-run pane never passed an attempt at all, so the card could not appear there. The attempt-to-cell fallback keyed on `(hostId, sessionIdx)`. Two environments share a host, so an attempt that failed before claiming a chatSessionId resolved onto the sibling target — the pane and the chip read another target's refusal. The join now keys by target, through one `findAttemptForSelection` the run step and the tab share. Also: a run throttled by two different providers named only whichever attempt was read first, and now names neither; the banner uses the design system's warning role instead of literal amber classes. The account-limit test drove only the live stream's message, leaving the attempt row null — the path it claimed to cover was never taken. It now sets the attempt and asserts the banner stays away too. Three new cases fail without the fixes above.

Approving. I read the source behind the load-bearing parts rather than taking the description's word for them, and they hold up.
What I checked:
resolveSwarmCellOutcomealready accepted anattemptand the pane genuinely was not passing it, so the green "Done" story is exactly right. Both call sites now pass it, and those are the only two in the repo.- The ollama fall-through in
classifyModelIdProvideris real, andproviderLabelForModelIdguards it properly. Good catch. - All three variants of the run banner copy do open with "No sessions ran", so gating on
succeeded > 0matches what that copy actually claims.
One question before you merge, not a change request. swarm-runner.ts:1238 now passes errorReason into isAccountLimit, where before it tested only the message. That widens the whole-run abort: a failed attempt carrying errorReason: "wallet_locked" and a code-free prose message like "Budget exhausted" now reaches classifyRateLimit, matches on /budget/, and halts every host. Under the old gate it short-circuited nothing at all. I think that is the right behaviour, but the body reads as a pure refactor, and the parity test only exercises the predicate rather than the call site. Can you confirm it is deliberate?
Two follow-ups filed, neither blocking:
- BB-209, test coverage for that abort path:
https://app.kestral.ai/workspace/yhNILB2/task/1KOYvoQZ - BB-210, the double amber banner on all-throttled runs:
https://app.kestral.ai/workspace/yhNILB2/task/1KOa0ysG
Merge order: this is based on #4698, so that lands first, and the test.yml line comes out when this retargets main.
main landed #4698, which grew its own copy of this stack's account-limit classification: a local ACCOUNT_LIMIT_CODE regex in swarm-runner.ts, plus a prose check tightened to \bspend\b so "suspended" stops reading as a spend cap. This branch had the same logic behind the shared isAccountLimit that the run screen renders from, so the two collided in three places. Resolved toward the shared helper, keeping main's refinements: - classifyRateLimit drives isAccountLimit and drops the duplicate regex, but keeps main's word-anchored prose pattern and its export, which the runner tests import. - The shared ACCOUNT_LIMIT_CODE takes the union of both lists. Neither was a superset: main had spend_budget_reached, this branch had spend_cap_exceeded. Without spend_budget_reached the parity test against USER_OWNED_DENIAL_CODES fails, and "Limit reached. (spend_budget_reached, HTTP 403)" stops halting the run once the prose check is word-anchored. - The whole-run stop keeps this branch's isAccountLimit(errorMessage, errorReason), which also reads the structured code rather than only the message. - classifyTurnFailure takes main's regex verbatim; the two sides differed only in that same spend anchoring. - swarm-runner.test.ts stops importing ACCOUNT_LIMIT_CODE from the runner, which no longer exports it, and asserts through isAccountLimit instead. Verified: root typecheck and typecheck:client both exit 0; 83/83 across swarm-runner, resolve-turn-runtime and swarm-attempt-error; 526/526 in the client swarms suite; 91/91 in sdk error-describer.

Stacked on #4698, which classifies the 429 in the first place. This
branch contains it, so merge that one first.
A session stopped by a provider 429 now says which provider throttled the key
and what actually helps, instead of the raw agent sentence in muted grey.
What it looks like
Why a card on the session and not a modal
Two failures land in the same amber cell and need opposite advice. MCPJam's
account limit is lifted by credit or BYOK. A provider throttling the user's own
key is lifted only by waiting or switching model — no MCPJam purchase touches
it. So the copy is its own, and
isAccountLimitdecides which of the two asession hit. That check moves into
shared/swarm-attempt-error.tsso therunner's whole-run stop and the run screen read one list of denial codes; the
runner drops its private copy.
The card goes in the session pane because that is the only per-session surface
wide enough for it — the chip is 7.5rem. A compact amber line above the table
counts the stopped sessions, because three of twelve can be throttled while the
swarm keeps working and nobody finds that by clicking each chip.
Its slug, severity, origin and docs link come from the catalog's
provider/quotaentry rather than being restated, and the test asserts againstthat entry — a literal would have stayed green while the card drifted from how
every other quota failure renders.
Naming the provider
The name comes from the model pinned on the host, joined on the attempt's own
chatSessionId. Two environments can share a host and pin different models, somatching on
hostIdwould let the line name a provider that throttled nothing;an attempt with no session row to join stays generic rather than guessing.
Same reason the label is not
providerForModelIddirectly: that classifier istotal, so every unprefixed id falls through to
ollama, and printing thatdefault would blame the wrong vendor. Only an explicit
ollama/prefix earnsthe name.
Two bugs found by running it, not by the tests
The pane never saw the attempt row.
resolveSwarmCellOutcomegives aterminal attempt row precedence over everything else, and its comment says why:
without it "a rate-limited attempt whose session row sits at
activerenderedas a green done". The table passed the attempt. The pane did not, so it read the
chat-session lifecycle — which a real run completes — and showed a green "Done"
with no card on a throttled session. It now takes the attempt, joined the way
the cells are. The tests missed this because they fed the pane a live cell
status of
rate_limited, a value the app does not produce.The run banner claimed nothing ran while sessions did. Its gate was
!allTerminal || rateLimited + failed === 0, which reads "some attempt did notsucceed" rather than "nothing ran" — the precondition every line of its copy
assumes. On a real mixed run (13 sessions throttled, 2 clean) it rendered "No
sessions ran — the model provider refused the request." directly under a title
reading "Swarm finished 15 of 15 sessions". One success now silences it; those
sessions speak through their own chips. Pre-existing — the card just made the
contradiction easy to see.
How to reproduce
Follow the recipe in #4698 to get a swarm session refused with a 429,
then click a session chip to open the pane. Expected: the pane's status reads
Limited, the card names the provider, "Show details" lists three likely causesand three next steps with no MCPJam credit CTA, and "Learn more" opens
/troubleshooting/error-codes#provider-quota. Above the table, one amber linecounts the stopped sessions.
Verification
swarms+sharedtypecheck:client -w @mcpjam/inspectorrenderer-tier-blayering guard includedVerified in the app end to end against a provider answering 429 on every call:
the chips go amber, the amber line names the provider and counts 13 stopped
sessions, and the pane shows the card.

Summary by cubic
A session stopped by a provider 429 now names the provider that throttled the key and what actually helps, instead of the raw agent sentence in muted grey. MCPJam account limits and provider-side throttles now share one
isAccountLimitcheck, carrying the union of both denial-code lists after merging in main's #4698.New Features
chatSessionId, so a shared host can't blame the wrong provider; a run throttled by two providers names neither.Bug Fixes
