> **PR Stack** > 1. **#23351** ← `#23282` *(you are here)* > 2. #23282 ← `#23275` > 3. #23275 ← `#23349` > 4. #23349 ← `main` --- ## Summary `chatretry.Retry()` used pure exponential backoff (1 s, 2 s, 4 s, …) and never consulted provider `Retry-After` headers. Fantasy's `ProviderError` carries `ResponseHeaders` including `Retry-After`, but `chaterror.Classify()` only parsed error text and silently dropped the structured transport metadata. This makes `Retry-After` a first-class signal in the classification → retry pipeline. <img width="853" height="346" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/65f012b6-8173-43d2-957e-ab9faddea525" /> ## Changes ### `coderd/chatd/chaterror/classify.go` - Added `RetryAfter time.Duration` field to `ClassifiedError` — a normalized minimum retry delay derived from provider response metadata. - `Classify()` now calls `extractProviderErrorDetails()` before falling back to text heuristics. Structured `ProviderError.StatusCode` takes priority over regex extraction. - `normalizeClassification()` preserves and clamps `RetryAfter`. ### `coderd/chatd/chaterror/provider_error.go` (new) Provider-specific extraction, isolated from the text-based classification logic: - `extractProviderErrorDetails()` unwraps `*fantasy.ProviderError` from the error chain via `errors.As`. - `retryAfterFromHeaders()` parses headers in priority order: 1. `retry-after-ms` (OpenAI-specific, millisecond precision) 2. `retry-after` (standard HTTP — integer seconds or HTTP-date) - Case-insensitive header key lookup. ### `coderd/chatd/chatretry/chatretry.go` - `effectiveDelay(attempt, classified)` computes `max(Delay(attempt), classified.RetryAfter)` — the provider hint acts as a floor without weakening the local exponential backoff. - `Retry()` now uses `effectiveDelay` and passes the effective delay to both `onRetry(...)` and the sleep timer, so downstream payloads, logs, and the frontend countdown stay aligned automatically. ### Tests - `classify_test.go`: Structured provider status + `Retry-After` extraction, `retry-after-ms` priority, HTTP-date parsing, invalid header fallback, `WithProvider` preservation. - `chatretry_test.go`: Retry-after-as-floor semantics — longer hint wins, shorter hint keeps base delay. ## Design notes - **No SDK/API/frontend changes needed.** `codersdk.ChatStreamRetry` already carries `DelayMs` and `RetryingAt`, and the frontend already consumes them. The fix is purely in the server-side delay computation. - **Existing retryability rules unchanged.** This fixes *when* we sleep, not *whether* an error is retryable. - **Provider hint is a floor:** `max(baseDelay, RetryAfter)` ensures we never retry earlier than the provider asks, and never weaken our own backoff curve.
Coder enables organizations to set up development environments in their public or private cloud infrastructure. Cloud development environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads most beneficial to them.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
Quickstart
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server
# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace
Install
The easiest way to install Coder is to use our
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our install guides for a complete walkthrough.
