OpenAI/Composite groups can now reject requests that exceed the max
reasoning effort instead of always rewriting them down to the ceiling.
Existing groups keep the previous auto-downgrade behavior.
Persist reasoning ceilings and exact mappings for OpenAI groups, enforce them across HTTP and WebSocket forwarding, and invalidate cached auth snapshots.
Admins often recreate groups with the same pricing, routing, and account membership. A server-side duplicate creates an inactive copy for review, preserves eligible account priorities, and recovers ambiguous retries without creating extra groups.
Constraint: Group has no neutral JSON metadata field for durable operation recovery
Constraint: Model routing references account IDs, so copied configuration requires matching bindings
Rejected: Rebuild from the list response | it omits configuration and account priority details
Rejected: Store operation identity in business configuration | it would pollute real group settings
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep duplicated groups inactive until an administrator reviews the copied configuration
Tested: Go unit and full tests, go vet, integration-tag compile, frontend Vitest, lint, typecheck, production build, and Playwright duplicate flow
Not-tested: PostgreSQL container integration locally because Docker is unavailable; CI will execute the database-backed suite
