shim-message-body-shape-opencode-parts
Done. Here's what I diagnosed, fixed, and verified.
The 400 INVALID_REQUEST "message content is empty" is not a route gap — it is the upstream opencode-compatible server's own parseable error. Its SendMessageRequest handler reads text from message.parts[].text, never from message.content. The shim was forwarding consensus bodies ({"content":...} / {"role","content":...}) verbatim, so the upstream always saw an empty parts[] and rejected every message as empty. A parseable error arriving from upstream = the route exists and is reachable.
The shim must translate inbound consensus content into the opencode parts shape before forwarding:
{"content": "hello"} → {"message":{"role":"user","parts":[{"type":"text","text":"hello"}]}}
{"role":"user","content":"hello"} → same (role preserved)
{"role":"user","content":[block,...]} → map each block to a parts entry
(SOLUTION.md contains the concrete handler change, in both Go form and the verified Python translation.)
I built a faithful harness (upstream mock that mirrors server.go's parts-only parser + the shim with a translation toggle) and ran both states:
400 upstream='message content is empty' — exactly the board symptom.200 with text accepted.Deliverables in ~/shim-fix/:
- SOLVED.md — the self-contained solution document (title, root cause, exact fix, verification)
- mock_upstream.py — faithful SendMessageRequest parsermodel
- shim.py — the shim with TRANSLATE toggle
- driver.py — reproduction runner → python3 driver.py
The acceptance test is: for all three body shapes above, responses must be HTTP 200 (not 400/404) after the deploy.
