-# Native Responses Namespace Compatibility Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Make native OpenAI Responses OAuth passthrough accept Codex namespace tools by flattening requests and restoring namespace identity in JSON and SSE responses.
-
-**Architecture:** Add a focused, request-local namespace adapter in `internal/pkg/apicompat`. The passthrough service transforms the request once, carries the returned flat-name mapping through the response handlers, and restores mapped function calls immediately before writing downstream bytes.
-
-**Tech Stack:** Go, Gin, `encoding/json`, `tidwall/gjson`, `testify`.
-
-## Global Constraints
-
-- Target only native HTTP Responses OAuth passthrough demonstrated by issue #4135.
-- Reuse the chat bridge's collision-safe flattened naming convention.
-- Preserve unrelated request fields, ordinary tools, and unmapped response calls.
-- Support JSON and SSE response restoration, including terminal completed output.
-- Return a client-visible 400-class error for ambiguous flattened names.
-- Do not change WebSocket forwarding, connector security policy, or account scheduling.
-
----
-
-## File Structure
-
-- Create `backend/internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace.go`: transport-independent request flattening, mapping, and response restoration.
-- Create `backend/internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace_test.go`: unit tests for transformations and collisions.
-- Modify `backend/internal/service/openai_gateway_passthrough.go`: apply the adapter and thread its mapping through HTTP response handling.
-- Modify `backend/internal/service/openai_oauth_passthrough_test.go`: end-to-end regression tests for OAuth passthrough request and SSE response behavior.
-
-### Task 1: Request Namespace Adapter
-
-**Files:**
-- Create: `backend/internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace.go`
-- Create: `backend/internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace_test.go`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces: `type ResponsesNamespaceName struct { Namespace string; Name string }`
-- Produces: `func FlattenResponsesNamespaces(req map[string]any) (map[string]ResponsesNamespaceName, bool, error)`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing request transformation tests**
-
-Add table-driven tests that construct a request with a namespace declaration, a historical `function_call`, and a namespace `tool_choice`. Assert that the namespace child becomes an ordinary top-level function named `collaboration__spawn_agent`, historical input uses the same name without `namespace`, the choice is rewritten, and unrelated tools/fields are unchanged. Add collision cases for a top-level flat-name conflict and two namespace pairs that flatten identically.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests and verify RED**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/pkg/apicompat -run 'TestFlattenResponsesNamespaces' -count=1`
-
-Expected: build failure because `FlattenResponsesNamespaces` does not exist.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the minimal request adapter**
-
-Decode `tools` and optional `children`/nested `tools` values from `map[string]any`, call the package's existing `flattenNamespaceToolName`, and build a flat-name ownership map. Replace each namespace declaration with its function children, rewrite matching `input` function calls and namespace `tool_choice`, and return a descriptive error when ownership is ambiguous.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run the tests and verify GREEN**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/pkg/apicompat -run 'TestFlattenResponsesNamespaces' -count=1`
-
-Expected: PASS.
-
-### Task 2: Response Namespace Restoration
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `backend/internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace.go`
-- Modify: `backend/internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace_test.go`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Consumes: `map[string]ResponsesNamespaceName`
-- Produces: `func RestoreResponsesNamespaceCalls(payload []byte, names map[string]ResponsesNamespaceName) ([]byte, bool, error)`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing response restoration tests**
-
-Cover a direct `function_call`, `response.output_item.added`, `response.output_item.done`, and `response.completed.response.output`. Assert that a mapped name is restored to the child name and gains `namespace`, while an ordinary call and unknown JSON fields remain unchanged.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests and verify RED**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/pkg/apicompat -run 'TestRestoreResponsesNamespaceCalls' -count=1`
-
-Expected: build failure because `RestoreResponsesNamespaceCalls` does not exist.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Implement recursive, type-constrained restoration**
-
-Unmarshal the payload, visit maps and arrays, and rewrite only maps whose `type` is `function_call` and whose string `name` exists in the request mapping. Set the original child `name` and `namespace`, then marshal only when a change occurred.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run the tests and verify GREEN**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/pkg/apicompat -run 'TestRestoreResponsesNamespaceCalls' -count=1`
-
-Expected: PASS.
-
-### Task 3: OAuth Passthrough Integration
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `backend/internal/service/openai_gateway_passthrough.go`
-- Modify: `backend/internal/service/openai_oauth_passthrough_test.go`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Consumes: `apicompat.FlattenResponsesNamespaces` and `apicompat.RestoreResponsesNamespaceCalls`.
-- Changes the private passthrough response handlers to accept the request-local namespace mapping.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write a failing end-to-end streaming regression test**
-
-Send an OAuth passthrough body containing `tools:[{"type":"namespace","name":"collaboration","tools":[{"type":"function","name":"spawn_agent",...}]}]` and a historical input call tagged with `namespace:"collaboration"`. Return SSE added/done/completed events using `collaboration__spawn_agent`. Assert the recorded upstream request has no namespace declarations or input namespace fields and the downstream SSE restores `name:"spawn_agent"` plus `namespace:"collaboration"` in every function-call item.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the streaming regression and verify RED**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/service -run 'TestOpenAIGatewayService_OAuthPassthrough_Namespace' -count=1`
-
-Expected: FAIL because the upstream body still contains namespace fields or the downstream body retains the flat name.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Integrate request flattening and SSE restoration**
-
-After OAuth passthrough normalization, unmarshal the body, call `FlattenResponsesNamespaces`, marshal with the repository's non-HTML-escaping JSON helper, and retain the mapping. Pass it into `handleStreamingResponsePassthrough`; after existing argument/model normalization, call `RestoreResponsesNamespaceCalls` on each SSE data payload and rebuild the `data:` line.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run the streaming regression and verify GREEN**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/service -run 'TestOpenAIGatewayService_OAuthPassthrough_Namespace' -count=1`
-
-Expected: PASS.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Write a failing non-stream JSON regression test**
-
-Exercise the non-stream handler with a completed Responses JSON body whose output contains `collaboration__spawn_agent`, then assert the client receives `spawn_agent` and `namespace:"collaboration"`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 6: Run the JSON regression and verify RED**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/service -run 'TestOpenAIGatewayService_OAuthPassthrough_NamespaceNonStreaming' -count=1`
-
-Expected: FAIL because JSON response restoration is not wired.
-
-- [ ] **Step 7: Integrate JSON and SSE-to-JSON restoration**
-
-Pass the mapping into `handleNonStreamingResponsePassthrough` and `handlePassthroughSSEToJSON`. Restore namespace calls after model correction and before writing the body. Return transformation errors instead of writing partially transformed output.
-
-- [ ] **Step 8: Run all namespace regressions and verify GREEN**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/service -run 'TestOpenAIGatewayService_OAuthPassthrough_Namespace' -count=1`
-
-Expected: PASS.
-
-### Task 4: Client Error and Regression Verification
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `backend/internal/service/openai_gateway_passthrough.go`
-- Modify: `backend/internal/service/openai_oauth_passthrough_test.go`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write a failing service collision test**
-
-Send an OAuth passthrough request whose namespace child conflicts with an existing top-level function. Assert no upstream request occurs and the client receives status 400 with `invalid_request_error` and a collision explanation.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the collision test and verify RED**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/service -run 'TestOpenAIGatewayService_OAuthPassthrough_NamespaceCollision' -count=1`
-
-Expected: FAIL because the adapter error is not yet mapped to a 400 response.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Map adapter failures to the existing invalid-request response shape**
-
-When request flattening returns an error, set the ops upstream error and write `{"error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":err.Error(),"param":"tools"}}` with HTTP 400, then return the same error without contacting upstream.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run targeted suites**
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/pkg/apicompat ./internal/service -run 'Namespace|OAuthPassthrough_StreamKeepsToolNameAndBodyNormalized' -count=1`
-
-Expected: PASS.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Format and run full relevant package tests**
-
-Run: `cd backend && gofmt -w internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace.go internal/pkg/apicompat/responses_namespace_test.go internal/service/openai_gateway_passthrough.go internal/service/openai_oauth_passthrough_test.go`
-
-Run: `cd backend && go test ./internal/pkg/apicompat ./internal/service -count=1`
-
-Expected: PASS with zero failures.
-
-- [ ] **Step 6: Review the final diff and commit**
-
-Run: `git diff --check && git status -sb && git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD`
-
-Expected: no whitespace errors and only the design, plan, namespace adapter, passthrough integration, and regression tests in scope.
-
-Commit with: `git commit -m "fix: support namespace tools in native responses"`.

-# Native Responses Namespace Compatibility
-
-## Context
-
-Codex clients can send private `namespace` tool declarations and tag historical
-`function_call` input items with a `namespace`. The chat-completions fallback
-bridge already flattens these declarations into ordinary function tools and
-restores the namespace on responses. The native Responses OAuth path currently
-forwards the private fields unchanged. Upstreams that implement only the public
-Responses schema reject them, and sub2api surfaces the failure as a 502.
-
-## Scope
-
-Extend namespace compatibility to the native Responses OAuth path without
-changing the existing chat-completions bridge or ordinary function tools.
-
-The request transformation must:
-
-- flatten every function child of a `type: "namespace"` tool into a top-level
-  function tool using the existing collision-safe naming convention;
-- rewrite namespace-qualified historical `function_call` items to the same
-  flattened name and remove their private `namespace` field;
-- rewrite namespace-qualified `tool_choice` values when present;
-- reject ambiguous flattened names with a clear client error instead of
-  forwarding a request that cannot be routed safely;
-- preserve all unrelated request fields and tools.
-
-The response transformation must:
-
-- restore a flattened tool call to its original child name plus `namespace`;
-- cover both JSON responses and every relevant SSE lifecycle event, including
-  the final completed response;
-- leave tool calls that are not in the request mapping unchanged.
-
-## Design
-
-Extract the namespace flattening and mapping behavior that is currently tied to
-the chat-completions bridge into reusable helpers in `internal/pkg/apicompat`.
-The helpers will operate on Responses request structures and expose the mapping
-from flattened names to original namespace/name pairs.
-
-The native OAuth forwarding path will apply the request helper during its
-existing Codex OAuth normalization pass. The resulting mapping is request-local
-and will be passed to the native response handling code. JSON and SSE response
-rewriters will use it to restore function-call identity before bytes are sent to
-the client. No mapping is persisted across requests because the request contains
-the declarations needed to reconstruct it.
-
-This change targets the native HTTP Responses forwarding path demonstrated by
-the issue. WebSocket forwarding is outside the scope unless a failing regression
-test proves that it shares the same HTTP transformation boundary.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-Malformed namespace declarations that cannot be transformed safely, including
-flattened-name collisions, return a 400-class invalid-request response. Upstream
-transport failures continue through the existing error and failover handling.
-Response rewriting is conservative: unrecognized event shapes pass through
-unchanged, while valid mapped function-call objects are restored.
-
-## Testing
-
-Tests will be written before implementation and will demonstrate the regression
-against the current code. Coverage includes:
-
-- OAuth native request forwarding with namespace tools and historical calls;
-- namespace `tool_choice` rewriting;
-- collision rejection;
-- non-stream JSON response restoration;
-- streaming SSE restoration across added, done, and completed events;
-- ordinary function tools and payload fields remaining unchanged;
-- targeted service and `apicompat` test suites, followed by formatting and the
-  repository's relevant backend verification commands.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Changing the Codex client or requiring a client downgrade.
-- Forcing OAuth accounts through the chat-completions fallback bridge.
-- Changing connector security policy from issue #3408.
-- Adding persistent namespace state or changing account scheduling behavior.
