WAF/challenge and origin/DNS error pages are HTML, not provider JSON. Surfacing them raw leaked multi-KB markup into client errors (seen as Error: 403 <!DOCTYPE html>…).

Coverage (review finding 1)

Sanitize at every client-facing seam, not just the retry path:

  • consumeComboFailure, non-combo Provider error N: + continuation errors (core.ts)
  • passthrough relay (passthrough-error.ts): CF pages become text/plain; non-CF bodies byte-identical so pool-retry Activation B/D stays honest
  • Google/Kiro error formatters (also covers image/web-search returnRawErrors lanes)

Wording (review finding 2)

Block pages keep the edge-block wording with Ray ID; origin error pages (521/1xxx) are reported as Cloudflare error pages instead of a block.

Ray ID (review finding 3)

Extraction prefers __CF\$cv\$params, falls back to label scan — works with <strong>, <a>, or plain markup.

Verification

  • New tests/cloudflare-block-payload.test.ts (8 tests) + extended tests/upstream-http-error.test.ts
  • Related suites: 218 pass; tsc --noEmit clean; privacy-scan pass
  • CHANGELOG entry under Unreleased/Fixed

Note

Low Risk
Changes only how error bodies are formatted for clients; routing, pool-retry, and non-Cloudflare payloads are unchanged, with broad regression tests.

Overview
Fixes client-facing upstream errors that previously echoed multi-KB Cloudflare HTML (WAF blocks, challenges, 521/1xxx pages) as provider failures like Error: 403 <!DOCTYPE html>….

Adds sanitizeCloudflareBlockPayload in upstream-http-error.ts: marker-based detection, Ray ID extraction, and short messages that distinguish edge blocks from origin/DNS error pages. Non-Cloudflare bodies stay byte-identical.

Wires sanitization through every display path: readDisplaySafeErrorPayloadText, Google/Kiro formatters, combo failure handling, generic Provider error / continuation errors in core.ts, and passthrough relay (CF pages become text/plain). Regression tests cover each seam plus CHANGELOG Unreleased/Fixed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Cloudflare edge error pages now display as concise, readable messages with the Ray ID instead of raw HTML.
    • Cloudflare origin errors are distinguished from blocks and include the error code when available.
    • Error messages are cleaned up across provider responses, combined failures, and passthrough responses.
    • Non-Cloudflare response bodies remain unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cloudflare edge-page detection and sanitization now apply to selected provider formatters and server error paths. Detected block pages and origin-error pages produce short text with a Ray ID when available. Passthrough responses use plain text when sanitization changes the body.

Changes

Cloudflare Error Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detect and sanitize Cloudflare pages
src/adapters/upstream-http-error.ts, tests/upstream-http-error.test.ts
Marker checks detect Cloudflare pages and block pages. Helpers extract Ray IDs and labeled error codes. Sanitization returns a block-specific or error-page message, while non-Cloudflare payloads remain unchanged. Tests cover detection, extraction, and display-safe output.
Apply sanitization to provider and server errors
src/adapters/google-errors.ts, src/adapters/kiro-errors.ts, src/server/responses/core.ts, tests/cloudflare-block-payload.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md
Google and Kiro formatters sanitize payloads before parsing error details. Combo failures, regular upstream failures, and terminal-continuation errors sanitize text before client-facing processing. Tests cover block and origin-error pages, along with ordinary provider JSON. The changelog documents the handling.
Sanitize passthrough responses
src/server/responses/passthrough-error.ts, tests/cloudflare-block-payload.test.ts
Passthrough responses return sanitized Cloudflare text and set a plain-text content type when the body changes. Tests check status preservation and unchanged non-Cloudflare HTML.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8e305

The release note overstates byte-for-byte preservation for provider formatting; limit that claim to passthrough relays. This is a bounded documentation correction, and the remaining change presents no established merge-blocking risk.

Handle the one-page-marker Cloudflare block shape.

isCloudflareBlockPayload requires two hits from CLOUDFLARE_PAGE_MARKERS, but Sorry, you have been blocked is only in CLOUDFLARE_BLOCK_MARKERS. A payload containing only Attention Required! and Sorry, you have been blocked therefore bypasses sanitizeCloudflareBlockPayload and can remain raw HTML in client-facing errors.

Keep the two-hit safeguard by treating the block phrase as a page marker as well.

🐛 Suggested fix
 const CLOUDFLARE_PAGE_MARKERS = [
   "__CF$cv$params",
   "cf-error-details",
   "cdn-cgi/challenge-platform",
   "Attention Required!",
+  "Sorry, you have been blocked",
   "Cloudflare Ray ID",
 ] as const;

Add a regression fixture containing only these two markers and assert that sanitization removes the HTML.

Limit the byte-identical claim to passthrough relays.

As written, this claims that every listed path preserves non-Cloudflare bodies byte-for-byte. However, src/adapters/google-errors.ts Lines 54-62 parses the payload and returns a prefixed message. State that passthrough relays preserve non-Cloudflare bodies byte-for-byte.

Proposed wording
-  pages (521 / 1xxx) are reported as a Cloudflare error page instead of being
-  described as a block; non-Cloudflare bodies stay byte-identical.

…errors

WAF/challenge and origin/DNS error pages are HTML, not provider JSON. Surfacing them raw leaked multi-KB markup into client errors (seen as Error: 403 <!DOCTYPE html>...).

Sanitize at every client-facing seam, not just the retry path: consumeComboFailure, passthrough relay (plain-text, byte-identical for non-CF bodies), continuation errors, and the Google/Kiro error formatters. Block pages keep the edge-block wording with Ray ID; origin error pages (521/1xxx) are reported as Cloudflare error pages instead. Ray ID extraction prefers __CF$cv$params, falls back to label scan.

Tests: tests/cloudflare-block-payload.test.ts (6) + extended tests/upstream-http-error.test.ts. Related suites 218 pass, tsc clean, privacy-scan pass.
The healthz smoke probe was the first client to connect to a socket that
startServer(0) had only just bound. Under `bun test --isolate`, a batch runs
~80 files concurrently and each spawns bash, curl and python3, so that first
connect could be refused outright and healthz-smoke.sh exited 1 within
milliseconds. The failures logged 45-80ms -- the same duration as a passing
run -- so the script's own 4s --max-time was never the trigger.

Establish readiness in-process first, and surface the probe's own stdout and
stderr when it does fail, so a future occurrence names its cause instead of
collapsing to a bare "Expected: 0 / Received: 1". No assertion is relaxed:
the identity contract, the version match, and the foreign-body rejection are
all still checked.

This flake also failed on main (run 36603843646, the v1.5.1 release commit),
so it was never specific to this branch.

Rebased onto main (now 5770910f) and pushed as 2223f22c. Two things changed since the original head.

1. Root cause of the red check — fixed. The failure was tests/local-dev-contract.test.ts → healthz-smoke against a live proxy, not this diff. It also failed on main itself (run 36603843646, the v1.5.1 release commit), so it was never specific to this branch.

The smoke probe was the first client to connect to a socket startServer(0) had only just bound. Under bun test --isolate a batch runs ~80 files concurrently, each spawning bash, curl and python3, so that first connect could be refused outright and the script exited 1. The recorded failures took 45–80 ms — the same duration as a passing run — so the script's own 4s --max-time was never what fired.

Readiness is now established in-process before the shell probe runs, and a failing probe reports its own stdout/stderr instead of a bare Expected: 0 / Received: 1. That diagnostic gap is why this went undiagnosed across two separate failing runs. No assertion is relaxed: identity contract, version match, and foreign-body rejection are all still checked, plus a new guard that the readiness helper fails loudly when nothing is serving.

I could not reproduce it locally in any configuration (isolation, all 58 co-resident server tests, CI-style isolated HOME, 12 consecutive runs) — it is runner-load dependent. So the fix is reasoned from the evidence above rather than from a local repro; flagging that honestly.

2. Version drift removed. The branch was pinned at 1.5.0 while main moved to 1.5.1. Rebasing fixes the pin.

This also picks up #284, which cleared the two advisories that were blocking Security audit on this PR (brace-expansion high, fast-uri), and fixed the CI path-filter blind spot that had let workflow-only PRs run no tests at all.

bun run typecheck clean, privacy:scan passed, bun audit clean at every severity.
