- Around line 148-155: Update the retry dispatch around payload_json to
serialize the transformed payload once into bytes::Bytes, then reuse cheap
clones via body for every attempt instead of calling RequestBuilder::json
repeatedly. Explicitly set Content-Type to application/json, and add a retry
test verifying that request bodies are byte-for-byte identical across attempts.

🌐 Web query:
reqwest 0.13.4 RequestBuilder json serde_json::to_vec source
💡 Result:
In reqwest 0.13.4, the RequestBuilder::json method uses serde_json::to_vec to serialize the provided data into a byte vector [1][2]. When you call.json(json) on a RequestBuilder, the following occurs: 1. It attempts to serialize the input value (T) into a Vec using serde_json::to_vec [1][2]. 2. If serialization is successful, it sets the body of the request to these bytes [1][2]. 3. It also sets (or ensures) the Content-Type header is application/json [1][2]. 4. If serialization fails, the error is captured and stored within the RequestBuilder, which will then be returned when the request is built or sent [1][2]. This implementation requires the optional json feature to be enabled in your Cargo.toml [3][4]. Because it uses serde_json::to_vec, the entire JSON payload is buffered in memory before being sent [5].

🔴 Important: Serialize the transformed payload once before retry dispatch.
reqwest::RequestBuilder::json serializes the payload on every attempt. Store the serialized bytes in bytes::Bytes, send a cheap clone with .body(...), and set Content-Type: application/json. Add a retry test that asserts byte-for-byte equality across attempts.

Description
Problem
The external-provider chat route holds three request-sized allocations across its upstream retry loop: the parsed body in the request context, the serialized payload
Valuein the context, and a deep-clonedArcof that payload for the attempts.Solution
Move the payload out of the context into the retry loop's
Arc(no clone) and drop the context — and with it the parsed body — before dispatch. Retries replay from the single serialized payload, so replay semantics are unchanged.Changes
routers/openai/chat.rs:take_payload()instead of clone; explicitdrop(ctx)ahead of the retry loopTest Plan
routing_testsopenai suite (16) green; behavior is unchanged — same payload bytes on every attempt.Checklist
