Documentation-of-code only, one file: crates/aisix-proxy/AGENTS.md. No behaviour change, no code change, no test change.

The stale claim

The "bypass reason rides the audit log" section listed audio.rs and images_edits.rs among the sites that pass an unscannable body through unrecorded, on the grounds that they "drop non-UTF-8 multipart prompt parts with filter_map". That has not been reachable since #1016. Both surfaces call dispatch::require_utf8_prompt_fields after model resolution and before the guardrail chain is resolved (audio.rs:897, images_edits.rs:313), and the guard's field scope is exactly the filter_map's — both are keyed on the part named prompt — so an undecodable prompt is answered 400 and the filter_map can no longer be handed one.

This file is what agents read instead of the code, so a wrong sentence in it propagates rather than sitting still; a documentation change in another repository nearly published this one verbatim.

What the correction had to be narrower about

Only the multipart prompt path left that set. audio.rs did not: transcription_output_text still falls back to String::from_utf8_lossy(body) for the text / srt / vtt response formats, consults neither refuses_unevaluable_output nor record_unevaluable_output_bypass, and the original bytes are relayed to the caller — the same shape as the passthrough_route entry already in the list. So the output-side site is now listed explicitly, and the correction says in as many words that it is a separate site, so the next reader auditing unscannable bodies does not skip audio.rs on the strength of the prompt fix.

The section also described the lossy-scan-but-forward asymmetry as "#1022's open product decision". #1022 is closed, so that clause is dropped; the mechanical statement it was attached to — none of these sites consults refuses_unevaluable_*, and making them refuse would be a behaviour change rather than an observability one — is unchanged and still holds.

Checked and left alone

Verified against current code in the same pass and unchanged because they still hold: the jobs::scan_output_blob / binary-purpose scan_input_blob / passthrough_route lossy-scan claims, the four record_unevaluable_* sites (count_tokens.rs, mcp.rs, jobs.rs, messages.rs), the NO-GUARDRAIL-CHAIN: marker and the test that parses for it, usage_attr::bypass_reason, bypass_tag() / bounded_failure_tag, chat.rs's UpstreamCharge.bypass_reason, and the varchar(64) width the control plane gives usage_events.guardrail_bypassed_reason.

Tests

None — the branch contains no code change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified audio and image-edit request handling, including rejection of unsupported multipart prompts with HTTP 400 responses before scanning.
    • Documented scanning of lossy transcript output for guardrail bypass detection.
    • Removed the separate documentation section covering /v1/files downloads.

…wnload-side ruling

`crates/aisix-proxy/AGENTS.md` listed `audio.rs` and `images_edits.rs` as
places that silently drop non-UTF-8 multipart `prompt` parts with
`filter_map`. That has not been reachable since #1016: both surfaces call
`dispatch::require_utf8_prompt_fields` after model resolution and before the
guardrail chain runs, so an undecodable `prompt` part is answered 400 and the
`filter_map` in their scan builders can no longer see one. The file is what
agents read instead of the code, so the wrong sentence propagates; it is
replaced with an explicit note that those two surfaces are not in that set.

The same paragraph called the lossy-and-unrefused asymmetry "#1022's open
product decision". #1022 is closed: the upload side now refuses under a text
purpose (#1113/#1114/#1115), and the download side deliberately does not.
That ruling is recorded as its own constraint next to the jobs/files rules,
and the stale "needs a product decision" note on `jobs::scan_output_blob`'s
doc comment is updated to match.

Also checked against current code and left unchanged because they still
hold: the `jobs::scan_output_blob` / binary-purpose `scan_input_blob` /
`passthrough_route` lossy-scan claims, the four `record_unevaluable_*` sites,
the `NO-GUARDRAIL-CHAIN:` marker and its parsing test, `usage_attr::bypass_reason`,
`bypass_tag()` / `bounded_failure_tag`, `chat.rs`'s `UpstreamCharge.bypass_reason`,
and the `varchar(64)` width of the control plane's `guardrail_bypassed_reason`.

No behaviour change.

Explanation

PASS — The PR changes only crates/aisix-proxy/AGENTS.md (19 additions, 11 deletions). It changes no executable source or tests, so E2E test completeness, assertions, mocks, error handling, and concurrency criteria are not applicable to this documentation-only change. The updated claim matches the code: both multipart handlers call dispatch::require_utf8_prompt_fields before guardrail processing, and InvalidRequest maps to HTTP 400. Existing E2E coverage is present in tests/e2e/src/cases/non-utf8-prompt-reject-e2e.test.ts. The diff is scoped to the stated documentation correction.

Explanation

PASS — the net PR change is documentation only: crates/aisix-proxy/AGENTS.md (+19/-11), with no executable source changes. The documented audio.rs and images_edits.rs paths were cross-checked against the existing source. No security failure was introduced. 1. Sensitive data exposure: No issues found. 2. Unencrypted database secrets: No issues found. 3. Authorization or permission bypass: No issues found. 4. Cross-resource ownership validation: No issues found. 5.

The changes are documentation-only and the noted feedback is limited to minor clarity/wording improvements.

Pull request overview

This PR updates internal documentation for the proxy guardrail/scan behavior to remove a stale claim about non-UTF-8 multipart prompt handling on audio/images surfaces, and to document the settled product decision for /v1/files download-side lossy scanning vs refusal.

Changes:

  • Update crates/aisix-proxy/AGENTS.md to remove audio.rs / images_edits.rs from the “unscannable/unrecorded” set and add an explicit note explaining why they no longer qualify.
  • Add a dedicated AGENTS section documenting the deliberate decision that /v1/files/{id}/content remains lossy-scanned and never refused.
  • Update the rustdoc on jobs::scan_output_blob to reflect that the download-side behavior is a settled decision (not an open question).

lines 181-185 so “never refused” and “no row ... makes it refuse” apply only to
undecodable output, while preserving that content-based guardrail verdicts can
still block downloads. Update the related wording in
crates/aisix-proxy/src/jobs.rs lines 618-620 so “unrefused by decision”
explicitly refers to decode failures; no other sites require changes.

…ction to the multipart prompt

Two changes, leaving this PR as the stale-claim correction alone.

Removes the `/v1/files` download-blob section and the matching edit to
`jobs::scan_output_blob`'s doc comment. Whether that scan keeps its current
shape is being decided, and a constraint saying "this is deliberate, do not
change it" would describe code that may not exist — the same class of stale
statement this PR exists to fix. `jobs.rs` is back to its state on `main`.

Narrows the correction itself, which was too broad. `audio.rs` is not wholly
out of the unconditional-lossy-scan set: `transcription_output_text` still
falls back to `String::from_utf8_lossy(body)` for the `text` / `srt` / `vtt`
response formats, consults neither `refuses_unevaluable_output` nor
`record_unevaluable_output_bypass`, and the original bytes are relayed. Only
the multipart `prompt` path left the set, via #1016. That output site is now
listed alongside `passthrough_route`, and the correction says explicitly that
it is a separate site, so the next reader does not skip `audio.rs` when
auditing unscannable bodies.
