Summary

The _isGrokXAI() method in src/api/providers/openai.ts used urlHost.includes("x.ai") which is a substring match. Any domain containing "x.ai" as a substring (e.g. box.ai, fox.ai, max.ai) was falsely identified as a Grok/xAI endpoint. This caused stream_options: { include_usage: true } to be omitted from API requests, so the API never returned usage data and the token bar showed 0 — a silent failure with no error message.

Root Cause

// Before (buggy)
private _isGrokXAI(baseUrl?: string): boolean {
    const urlHost = this._getUrlHost(baseUrl)
    return urlHost.includes("x.ai")  // substring match — false positive for box.ai, fox.ai, etc.
}

The bug affects two code paths:

  1. createMessage() — main message streaming (line 153)
  2. handleO3FamilyMessage() — O3 family model streaming (line 351)

Both conditionally omit stream_options when _isGrokXAI() returns true:

...(isGrokXAI ? {} : { stream_options: { include_usage: true } })

Fix

// After (fixed)
private _isGrokXAI(baseUrl?: string): boolean {
    const urlHost = this._getUrlHost(baseUrl)
    return urlHost === "api.x.ai" || urlHost.endsWith(".x.ai")
}

This ensures only api.x.ai and subdomains of x.ai (e.g. custom.x.ai) are detected as Grok/xAI endpoints.

Changes

  • src/api/providers/openai.ts: Changed _isGrokXAI() to use exact host match or subdomain suffix check instead of substring includes()
  • src/api/providers/__tests__/openai.spec.ts: Added test suite "Grok xAI false-positive prevention" with 5 test cases:
    • box.ai should NOT be detected as Grok xAI
    • fox.ai and max.ai should NOT be detected as Grok xAI
    • api.x.ai SHOULD be detected as Grok xAI
    • custom.x.ai (subdomain) SHOULD be detected as Grok xAI
    • stream_options should be included when using a non-Grok provider whose URL contains "x.ai" substring

Testing

All existing Grok xAI tests continue to pass. New tests verify the false-positive scenarios are fixed.

AI Assistance Disclosure

This PR was developed with AI assistance (Roo Code / Zoo Code with GLM-5.2). The contributor has reviewed and understands every meaningful change, can explain the implementation and tradeoffs, and has verified the fix against the actual installed plugin (both VS Code and IntelliJ). The fix is a one-line change to the _isGrokXAI() method plus corresponding test cases.

… domains containing 'x.ai'

Fixes Zoo-Code-Org#1483

The _isGrokXAI() method used urlHost.includes('x.ai') which matches any
domain containing 'x.ai' as a substring (e.g. box.ai, fox.ai, max.ai).
This false-positive causes stream_options:{include_usage:true} to be
omitted, so the API never returns usage data and the token bar shows 0.

Fix: Use exact host match (api.x.ai) or subdomain match (*.x.ai) instead
of substring includes.

Added tests for false-positive scenarios and valid x.ai domain detection.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Grok endpoint detection to avoid incorrectly identifying unrelated domains containing “x.ai.”
    • Preserved correct recognition of x.ai subdomains, including URLs using custom ports.
    • Ensured streaming options are handled correctly for Grok and non-Grok providers.

Walkthrough

The OpenAI provider now detects xAI hosts by hostname boundaries and ignores URL ports. Tests cover valid and invalid hosts, plus stream_options behavior for Grok and non-Grok providers.

Changes

Grok xAI detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Restrict xAI host matching
src/api/providers/openai.ts
_getUrlHost now returns the hostname without its port. _isGrokXAI matches api.x.ai and xAI subdomains instead of arbitrary hosts containing x.ai.
Validate host detection and usage streaming
src/api/providers/__tests__/openai.spec.ts
Tests cover valid xAI hosts, false-positive domains, non-default ports, and stream_options inclusion or omission.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5592a

The change correctly prevents unrelated domains from losing token-usage reporting, but valid xAI endpoints using explicit non-default ports may still be classified incorrectly and omit usage data. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for port-aware hostname matching.

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #1483. _isGrokXAI() now matches api.x.ai and .x.ai subdomains, rejects unrelated domains such as box.ai, fox.ai, and max.ai, and preserves stream_options for non-Grok providers. The shared helper covers both affected streaming paths.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The helper has focused unit coverage for box.ai, fox.ai, max.ai, api.x.ai, subdomains, and a non-default port. The main createMessage() path also verifies stream_options inclusion and exclusion. However, the changed helper controls a second affected streaming path: handleO3FamilyMessage() uses the same conditional at openai.ts:351-363. The new integration test does not exercise an O3-family model with a false-positive host such as https://box.ai/v1. Existing O3 tests use the default OpenAI host, so they do not prove that the regression fix restores stream_options on that path.

Resolution

Add a focused O3-family streaming test. Configure an O3-family model with openAiBaseUrl: "https://box.ai/v1", consume createMessage(), and assert that the request contains stream_options: { include_usage: true }. Also retain or add an O3-family xAI-host test that asserts stream_options is absent, so both outcomes of the affected conditional are covered.

Full details: Trust And Persistence Invariants

Explanation

No changed path matches the stated failure conditions. The net feature diff changes only synchronous URL-host parsing and _isGrokXAI() classification in src/api/providers/openai.ts; its result only controls stream_options in the two existing streaming request paths. _getUrlHost() has no other callers, and the change adds no execution, persistence write, approval, allowlist, secret-handling, or resource-lifecycle operation. The removed changeset is release metadata, not persisted application state.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly complete. It explains the issue, root cause, affected code paths, implementation, tests, linked issue #1483, and AI assistance disclosure. It does not reproduce every template section, such as the checklist and documentation or reviewer-contact sections, but the required change and verification details are clear.

Fix `_isGrokXAI()` false-positive substring match that broke token usage for OpenAI-compatible providers whose domain contains "x.ai" as a substring (e.g. box.ai, fox.ai, max.ai).

The `_isGrokXAI()` method in `src/api/providers/openai.ts` used `urlHost.includes("x.ai")` which is a substring match. Any domain containing "x.ai" anywhere in its host (e.g. `box.ai`, `fox.ai`, `max.ai`) was falsely identified as a Grok/xAI endpoint. This caused `stream_options: { include_usage: true }` to be omitted from API requests in both `createMessage()` and `handleO3FamilyMessage()`, so the API never returned usage data and the token bar showed 0 — a silent failure with no error message.

Fixed by using exact host match (`api.x.ai`) or subdomain suffix check (`.x.ai`) instead of substring `includes()`.

Use the URL hostname for xAI matching.

For https://api.x.ai:8443/v1, URL.host returns api.x.ai:8443, so _isGrokXAI() returns false and the streaming request includes stream_options. Return URL.hostname and add an explicit-port regression test.
