🎯 Overview

This PR implements OAPI (OpenAI API) forwarding functionality that allows the OpenAI embedding provider to work seamlessly with Ollama models through OpenAI-compatible API endpoints.

Closes #153 - Addresses user request for custom backend URL support with automatic /v1 path correction and comprehensive documentation.

✨ Key Features

  • 🔄 OAPI Forwarding: Full OpenAI provider support for Ollama models via OpenAI-compatible APIs
  • ⚙️ Dual Configuration: Both useOllamaModel config flag and OPENAI_CUSTOM_BASE_USING_OLLAMA_MODEL environment variable
  • 🛡️ Race Condition Safety: Promise-based dimension detection prevents concurrent API calls
  • 🔧 Auto URL Correction: Automatic /v1 path appending for OpenAI-compatible endpoints
  • 📝 Enhanced Error Handling: Context-aware error messages for OAPI scenarios
  • ♻️ Zero Breaking Changes: Full backward compatibility with existing OpenAI configurations

🚀 Usage Examples

Explicit Configuration

const embedding = new OpenAIEmbedding({
  apiKey: 'ollama-key',
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:8080/v1', 
  model: 'nomic-embed-text',
  useOllamaModel: true
});

Environment Variable Approach

# Set environment variable
export OPENAI_CUSTOM_BASE_USING_OLLAMA_MODEL=true

# Use simplified configuration (auto /v1 correction)
const embedding = new OpenAIEmbedding({
  apiKey: 'ollama-key',
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:8080',  // Auto-corrected to /v1
  model: 'nomic-embed-text'
});

Claude Code CLI

# OAPI Forwarding configuration
claude mcp add claude-context-oapi \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=ollama-key \
  -e OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/v1 \
  -e EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text \
  -e OPENAI_CUSTOM_BASE_USING_OLLAMA_MODEL=true \
  -e MILVUS_TOKEN=your-zilliz-cloud-api-key \

🤖 GitHub Copilot Code Quality Improvements

Applied all 6 GitHub Copilot suggestions to improve code quality:

✅ Constants Extraction

  • DEFAULT_OLLAMA_DIMENSION = 768: Extracted magic number for Ollama embedding dimension
  • OPENAI_API_DOMAIN = 'api.openai.com': Centralized OpenAI API domain reference

✅ Error Message Refactoring

Refactored 4 long error messages into reusable static methods:

  • getEmptyResponseError(): Standardized empty response error with troubleshooting steps
  • getOllamaEmptyResponseError(model): OAPI-specific empty response error
  • getBatchMismatchError(actual, expected): Batch size mismatch error
  • getOllamaBatchMismatchError(actual, expected, model): OAPI batch mismatch error

🧪 Test Updates

  • Updated test expectations to use partial string matching for error messages
  • All 20 tests pass successfully
  • TypeScript compilation clean

📈 Benefits

  • Maintainability: Centralized error messages for easier updates
  • Consistency: Standardized error reporting patterns
  • Readability: Eliminated long inline strings
  • Testing: More flexible test assertions

Impact: Zero breaking changes, improved code quality, better developer experience.

⚠️ Monorepo Package Manager Mixing Issue Detected

During zen expert analysis, discovered an important architectural issue:

🔍 Problem Description

  • PR contains packages/core/package-lock.json file (6949 lines added)
  • This file was auto-generated when running npm test
  • However, project uses pnpm workspaces to manage monorepo, should only have pnpm-lock.yaml

🚨 Impact Analysis

  1. Architecture Inconsistency: npm lock files in pnpm project violates single package manager principle
  2. Dependency Conflict Risk: May cause version resolution inconsistency, build failures, CI environment issues
  3. Technical Debt: Redundant lock files, pnpm-lock.yaml already manages entire workspace dependencies

✅ Recommended Fix

  • Remove packages/core/package-lock.json from PR
  • Use pnpm test instead of npm test going forward
  • Consider adding package-lock.json to .gitignore

This is a typical monorepo mixed package manager anti-pattern that should be fixed promptly to avoid future dependency management issues.

Zen Expert Rating: CRITICAL 🔴

✅ CI Issues Completely Fixed

Root Cause: Multiple issues were causing CI failures:

  1. TypeScript version mismatch: lockfile ^5.0.0 vs packages/core ^5.9.2
  2. Inappropriate package-lock.json file (project uses pnpm)

Fixes Applied:

  1. TypeScript Version: Reverted packages/core TypeScript from ^5.9.2^5.0.0 to match upstream
  2. Lockfile Cleanup: Removed package-lock.json (project uses pnpm-lock.yaml)
  3. Process Improvement: Added comprehensive PR status check rules to CLAUDE.md

Verification:

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile will now work correctly
  • CI should pass on both Node 20.x and 22.x
  • Repository consistency maintained

Commits:

CI should be running now with these fixes 🚀

CI Issues Fixed - Branch Update Complete

The TypeScript version mismatch causing ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE has been resolved:

🔧 Fix Applied

  • Updated TypeScript dependency from to to match upstream master branch
  • This resolves the lockfile incompatibility that was preventing CI builds

✅ Local CI Testing Results

Successfully tested both Node.js versions using local CI tools:

  • Node 20.x: ✅ PASSED - Build completed successfully
  • Node 22.x: ✅ PASSED - Build completed successfully

The fix ensures both CI matrix versions will pass without ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE errors.

📋 Changes Made

  • Fixed TypeScript version consistency across monorepo
  • Verified compatibility with pnpm lockfile
  • Confirmed both Node versions build successfully

PR 158 is now ready for CI validation.

- Add environment variable OPENAI_CUSTOM_BASE_USING_OLLAMA_MODEL for OAPI forwarding control
- Implement automatic /v1 path correction for custom OpenAI base URLs
- Add enhanced error handling with detailed diagnostic messages for API failures
- Support Ollama models via OAPI forwarding with specialized dimension detection
- Fix critical dimension detection bug in ollama-embedding.ts embedBatch method
- Add comprehensive test suite for OAPI forwarding functionality
- Maintain 100% backward compatibility with existing OpenAI configurations

Resolves embedding array access errors when using OAPI forwarding services.
All changes are additive and non-breaking for existing integrations.
- Add dimension detection flags to prevent redundant API calls for custom models
- Replace fragile magic number logic with explicit boolean flags for OAPI detection
- Make environment variable check case-insensitive for better user experience
- Fix setModel method to properly reset detection flags for unknown models
- Update test imports to fix TypeScript compilation errors

Performance improvements:
- Dimension detection now happens only once per model/instance
- Eliminates unnecessary API calls for known and already-detected models
- Concurrent embed calls no longer trigger duplicate dimension detection

Reliability improvements:
- OAPI dimension detection no longer relies on magic number comparison
- Case-insensitive environment variable parsing (true/TRUE/True all work)
- Proper state management for model changes via setModel()
…etection

- Add Promise-based dimension detection caching in both OpenAI and Ollama providers
- Prevent concurrent embed/embedBatch calls from triggering multiple API requests
- Implement race condition-safe ensureDimensionDetected() methods
- Fix state management in setModel() to properly reset all detection flags
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing API interfaces
- Addresses performance and reliability issues identified in zen audit
