Add copilot driver with retry logic for partial session failures by Copilot · Pull Request #25329 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2026-04-08T15:17:55Z

Copilot CLI exits with CAPIError: 400 Bad Request mid-session (after successful tool calls), wasting the entire premium request. The error is transient — not a malformed request — and warrants retry with --resume to continue the session. More broadly, any failure that occurs after the session has partially executed (produced output) is now eligible for a resume retry.

Changes

New: `actions/setup/js/copilot_driver.cjs`

Transparent subprocess wrapper for the Copilot CLI:

Forwards all args, stdin/stdout/stderr unchanged
Retries with --resume flag whenever a run was partially executed (produced output), regardless of error type (3 attempts, 5s→10s→20s backoff, 60s cap)
CAPIError 400 is detected and named explicitly in logs as the well-known transient case; other partial-execution failures are labelled "partial execution"
No retry when the process produced no output (failed to start / auth error before any work)
Extensive structured logging with ISO timestamps and [copilot-driver] prefix (grep-friendly in agent-stdio.log):
- Startup config (maxRetries, delays, backoff multiplier)
- Per-attempt: pid, args (with --prompt value redacted), stdout/stderr byte counts, exit code, signal, duration
- Retry decisions with context (isCAPIError400, hasOutput, retries remaining, named reason)
- Final summary with total wall-clock duration via human-readable formatDuration() (e.g. 3m 12s)

New: `DriverProvider` interface (`pkg/workflow/agentic_engine.go`)

Optional interface engines can implement to supply a JS driver script:

typeDriverProviderinterface {
GetDriverScriptName() string// e.g. "copilot_driver.cjs"
}

`CopilotEngine` wired to driver (`copilot_engine.go`, `copilot_engine_execution.go`)

CopilotEngine implements DriverProvider. GetExecutionSteps() now prefixes the copilot invocation with node ${RUNNER_TEMP}/gh-aw/actions/copilot_driver.cjs in both AWF-sandbox and standard execution modes:

# Before
-- /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/bin/copilot --add-dir ... --prompt "..."'
# After
-- /bin/bash -c 'node ${RUNNER_TEMP}/gh-aw/actions/copilot_driver.cjs /usr/local/bin/copilot --add-dir ... --prompt "..."'

The driver file is accessible inside AWF via the existing ${RUNNER_TEMP}/gh-aw:ro mount, and node is available via --env-all + chroot PATH passthrough.

@copilot add extensive logging

Done in ee0b538. Added a log() helper that writes [copilot-driver] <ISO-timestamp> <message> to stderr so lines are easy to grep from agent-stdio.log. Now logs:

Startup: command, maxRetries, initial delay, backoff multiplier, max delay cap
Per attempt: pid, args (with --prompt value redacted), duration, stdout/stderr byte counts, exit code, signal
Retry decisions: isCAPIError400, hasOutput, retries remaining — and the specific reason when a retry is skipped
Final summary: exit code and total wall-clock duration via formatDuration() (e.g. 3m 12s)

@copilot attempts should resume the session if a run was already partially executed.

Previously the driver only retried when a CAPIError 400 was detected. Now it retries with --resume whenever the session produced any output (hasOutput), which covers all cases where a run was partially executed. CAPIError 400 is still detected and named in the retry log message as the well-known transient case; other failures report "partial execution" as the reason. No-output failures (process failed to start) are still not retried. Added 5 new unit tests covering the broadened policy.

@copilot attempts should resume the session if a run was already partially executed.

Done in c58aa0d. The retry condition is now broadened: the driver retries with --resume whenever the session produced any output (hasOutput), not just on CAPIError 400. This covers all cases where a run was partially executed. CAPIError 400 is still detected and labelled as "CAPIError 400 (transient)" in the log; other partial-execution failures are labelled "partial execution". Processes that produced no output (failed to start / auth error before any work) are still not retried.

+ child.on("exit", (code, signal) => {
+ const durationMs = Date.now() - startTime;
+ const exitCode = code ?? 1;
+ log(`attempt ${attempt + 1}: process exited` + ` exitCode=${exitCode}` + (signal ? ` signal=${signal}` : "") + ` duration=${formatDuration(durationMs)}` + ` stdout=${stdoutBytes}B stderr=${stderrBytes}B hasOutput=${hasOutput}`);
+ resolve({ exitCode, output: collectedOutput, hasOutput, durationMs });
+ });


In runProcess, resolving on the child process exit event can miss trailing stdout/stderr data because exit may fire before stdio streams are fully drained/closed. That can incorrectly set hasOutput=false (skipping retries) and can miss the CAPIError: 400 pattern. Prefer resolving on the close event (which waits for stdio to close) and keep exit only for logging if needed.

collectedOutput concatenates the full stdout+stderr into a single string. Copilot sessions can emit large outputs, which can cause high memory usage or GC churn in the wrapper process. Since the driver only needs to detect a small error signature, consider capping what you retain (e.g., keep a rolling tail buffer / scan incrementally) while still computing hasOutput and byte counts.

+// the Copilot CLI with retry logic for transient CAPIError 400 errors.
+func (e *CopilotEngine) GetDriverScriptName() string {
+	return "copilot_driver.cjs"
+}


The comment says the driver wraps the CLI "with retry logic for transient CAPIError 400 errors", but the driver actually retries any non-zero exit after partial execution (any output), regardless of error type. Updating the doc comment to match the broader behavior will avoid confusion for future maintainers.

+	driverScriptName := e.GetDriverScriptName()


This comment frames the driver wrapper as enabling retries specifically for transient CAPIError 400, but the driver retries any partially-executed run (any output + non-zero exit). Consider adjusting the wording here to reflect the actual policy (partial execution resume) so the behavior is discoverable in the Go code.

Reviewing PR #25329 — the copilot driver with retry logic for CAPIError 400 partial session failures. The implementation is clean and well-documented. Left 2 inline comments: one suggesting making MAX_RETRIES configurable, and another about the logging verbosity. Overall, solid approach to handling transient failures.

The MAX_RETRIES = 3 constant is hardcoded here. Consider making this configurable via an environment variable (e.g., COPILOT_DRIVER_MAX_RETRIES) to allow tuning in CI environments without code changes.

The log function writes directly to process.stderr. Consider also supporting a DEBUG env var check to suppress verbose driver logs unless debugging is needed — helps keep agent-stdio.log readable in normal runs.

Smoke test review comment #1 — The collectedOutput buffer captures full stdout/stderr for retry detection. Worth noting that the hasOutput check (any output → retry eligible) is correct for the broader retry policy described in this PR. Consider adding a max buffer cap to guard against extremely verbose sessions.

+}


Smoke test review comment #2 — The comment references CAPIError 400 specifically, but the actual retry policy in copilot_driver.cjs now retries on any partial execution (any output + non-zero exit). Updating this doc comment to say "partial execution retry" would keep Go and JS in sync semantically.

…ut are fully captured The 'exit' event can fire before stdout/stderr buffers are fully drained. Resolving on 'close' instead guarantees that collectedOutput and hasOutput are complete before the retry decision is made, and that the copilot exit code is faithfully propagated through the driver. The 'exit' handler is kept for early diagnostic logging only. Both events pass (code, signal); the close handler is now the single source of truth for exitCode used in process.exit().

@copilot make sure the copilot exit code is propagated to the exit

Fixed in f04bbbd. The root cause was resolving the promise on the exit event, which can fire before stdout/stderr buffers are fully flushed — meaning the captured exit code or output could be incomplete. Now resolving on close instead, which Node.js guarantees fires only after all stdio streams are drained. The exit handler is kept for early diagnostic logging. The copilot exit code (code ?? 1 for signal-terminated processes) flows from close → result.exitCode → lastExitCode → process.exit(lastExitCode).
