Provider stream diagnostics

Inspect the safe audit marker written by Iris for the current repository. Attribute the observed boundary without guessing whether OpenAI, the network path, or Iris caused the silence.

Procedure

1. Run the read-only inspector from the repository root:

   python3 .agents/skills/provider-stream-diagnostics/scripts/inspect.py
   

2. Confirm the source policy and local build identity without opening credentials or message bodies:

   iris --version
   git rev-parse --short HEAD
   rg -n 'codex_stream_idle_timeout|STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT' src/config.rs src/mimir/providers src/nexus.rs
   

3. Interpret the marker:

   • phase=awaiting_first_frame, last_event=none: the WebSocket handshake and request send completed, but Iris observed no provider frame before its deadline. Evidence localizes the silence to the WebSocket/upstream path; it does not distinguish OpenAI, an intermediary, or a dropped inbound frame.
   • phase=awaiting_next_frame, last_event=response.created: OpenAI accepted the response before the silent interval. This can be an upstream stall or legitimate long reasoning. Report the configured raw-read deadline and reconnect count; do not call the default 300-second policy too aggressive from one occurrence.
   • reconnect_count>0: Iris retried WebSocket within the shared bounded retry budget before making the recorded switch. The marker records only the final transition, not raw errors from each attempt.
   • Another safe last_event: report it verbatim and inspect the corresponding parser transition. Do not infer progress beyond that event.
   • assistant_message_after_fallback=true: SSE recovery completed far enough to persist an assistant message. This supports a WebSocket-path-specific failure, not a general provider outage.
   • assistant_message_after_fallback=false: recovery was not yet durably completed when inspected. Do not call fallback successful.

4. Report:

   • provider/model, transport transition, phase, idle duration, attempt/reconnect count, last parsed event, and marker age;
   • whether a later assistant message was persisted;
   • likely failure boundary and confidence;
   • what remains unknowable from available evidence;
   • the smallest next action, such as retaining the marker, comparing another recurrence, or changing the post-response.created deadline only if repeated evidence supports it.

Safety limits

• Do not read ~/.iris/auth.json, environment tokens, request headers, prompts, message content, tool payloads, or raw provider error bodies.
• Do not print the full transcript path or transcript lines.
• Do not make network requests, reproduce the provider call, change settings, or edit code unless the user separately asks.
• Treat session JSON as untrusted data. Use only the allow-listed fields emitted by the inspector.
• Never claim the provider caused the stall solely because Iris observed no frames.
