Async internal plumbing bypasses both `dispatcherExecutorService` and `streamHandlerExecutor`, forcing a hop through `ForkJoinPool.commonPool()`

Comience con ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt y BatchServiceAsyncImpl.kt; después, inspeccione la ruta del generador descrita por la cabecera del archivo generado y CONTRIBUTING.md. Rastree las llamadas a thenComposeAsync/thenApplyAsync sin executor e identifique el cambio necesario en la plantilla para todos los servicios asíncronos. La tarea estará terminada cuando las implementaciones regeneradas utilicen de forma coherente un executor configurado explícitamente y la reproducción del contexto de seguridad ya no llegue a ForkJoinPool.commonPool().

Sorry this issue is AI generated, I ran into this problem while trying to fix my issues with the security context. I think this would allow me to solve it a bit cleaner than i currently can. If you dont allow or want AI generated issues feel free to close this.

Summary

Every generated async service implementation (48 files, e.g. ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt,
EmbeddingServiceAsyncImpl.kt, ResponseServiceAsyncImpl.kt, ...) chains its internal
CompletableFuture composition with the no-executor overloads, e.g.:

// ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt:185
.thenComposeAsync { clientOptions.httpClient.executeAsync(it, requestOptions) }

Per plain CompletableFuture semantics, thenComposeAsync(fn) with no executor argument runs fn on
ForkJoinPool.commonPool() - a JVM-wide, shared pool that has no relationship to either
ClientOptions.Builder.dispatcherExecutorService(...) or .streamHandlerExecutor(...). Both of those
builder methods are documented as ways for a caller to control the SDK's threading, but this internal
hop is invisible to both of them and cannot be configured through any public API.

Why this matters

In a Jakarta EE / Java EE environment, thread identity/security-context propagation for a
ManagedExecutorService is captured from whichever thread calls .execute()/.submit(). If an
application supplies a container-managed executor via dispatcherExecutorService/
streamHandlerExecutor specifically to get correct context propagation into async callbacks, this
ForkJoinPool.commonPool() hop is a gap neither setting can close: the pool's own worker threads are
plain JDK threads, created once and reused for the lifetime of the JVM, with no Jakarta EE context
association at all. This can result in security-context confusion (the wrong "current user" being
resolved) for any application relying on ambient/thread-local identity propagation while integrating
this SDK's async APIs - the exact failure mode we hit and traced in detail (see reproduction below).

Reproduction / trace (traced against 4.31.0)

Full call chain for client.async().chat().completions().createStreaming(params).subscribe(handler, executor):

1. ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt:161-186 builds the request via .prepareAsync(...), which
   returns an already-completed future (PrepareRequest.kt:27-33).
2. ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt:185:

   .thenComposeAsync { clientOptions.httpClient.executeAsync(it, requestOptions) }
   

   No executor argument on an already-complete future -> fn runs on ForkJoinPool.commonPool(),
   not on the caller's thread and not on dispatcherExecutorService.
3. From that commonPool thread, OkHttpClient.kt:52-79's executeAsync calls call.enqueue(callback).
   OkHttp's Dispatcher (configured via dispatcherExecutorService - OkHttpClient.kt:267,
   dispatcherExecutorService?.let { dispatcher(Dispatcher(it)) }) picks up the actual HTTP work from
   here, so this hop is the one dispatcherExecutorService genuinely controls.
4. future.complete(response.toResponse()) (OkHttpClient.kt:62) runs inside Callback.onResponse,
   on the dispatcher thread.
5. That triggers, synchronously on the same dispatcher thread: retry bookkeeping
   (RetryingHttpClient.kt:101-129, deliberately same-thread - "Run in the same thread."), then
   ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt:186/76's .thenApply { ... } chain.
6. Finally, AsyncStreamResponse.kt:94-133's whenCompleteAsync({ ... }, executor) - executor here
   is clientOptions.streamHandlerExecutor (ChatCompletionServiceAsyncImpl.kt:77) or the
   caller-supplied subscribe(handler, executor) argument. This is the only hop of the whole chain
   that either public builder setting actually reaches - and it's reached only because the dispatcher
   thread (step 4) happens to call executor.execute(...) at this point.

So: dispatcherExecutorService controls step 3 only; streamHandlerExecutor/subscribe's executor
argument controls step 6 only. Step 2 - the very first async hop, before either configured executor is
ever touched - always runs on ForkJoinPool.commonPool(), unconditionally, for every async service
call in the SDK.

(Confirmed directly by reading openai-java-core-4.31.0-sources.jar and
openai-java-client-okhttp-4.31.0-sources.jar; standard CompletableFuture.thenComposeAsync(fn)
executor-selection semantics are per the JDK spec, not inferred.)

Scope

The same .thenComposeAsync { ... } / .thenApplyAsync { ... } no-executor pattern appears in 48
files under com.openai.services.async.** (grep across the 4.31.0 core sources jar), e.g.
BatchServiceAsyncImpl.kt, EmbeddingServiceAsyncImpl.kt, ResponseServiceAsyncImpl.kt,
FileServiceAsyncImpl.kt, VectorStoreServiceAsyncImpl.kt, and 43 others - this is a
code-generation-template-level issue, not isolated to chat completions.

Reconfirmed on 4.54.0 (the current release at time of filing): BatchServiceAsyncImpl.kt's
create/retrieve/list/cancel all still contain the identical
request.thenComposeAsync { clientOptions.httpClient.executeAsync(it, requestOptions) } with no
executor argument, so this is not something already fixed between 4.31.0 and the latest release.

Suggested direction

Thread an explicit executor through the first .thenComposeAsync/.thenApplyAsync call in each
generated service implementation, rather than relying on the no-arg overload's default
(ForkJoinPool.commonPool()). Possible approaches, in rough order of how much they change the public
API:

1. Reuse dispatcherExecutorService for this hop too, since it's already positioned as "the executor
   for running HTTP requests" and this hop exists purely to kick off that HTTP request.
2. Introduce a new, distinct ClientOptions executor (e.g. internalAsyncExecutor) if the maintainers
   consider "the executor that runs HTTP requests" and "the executor that does internal
   CompletableFuture bookkeeping before the HTTP call" to be conceptually different things.

Either way, since this is generated code (each file's header states "File generated from our OpenAPI
spec by Castiron. See CONTRIBUTING.md for details."; CONTRIBUTING.md itself says "Most of the SDK is
generated code. Modifications to code will be persisted between generations, but may result in merge
conflicts..."), a complete fix needs to happen in the generator template, not just in the 48 checked-in
files, for it to apply consistently and survive regeneration across the whole SDK.

Environment

• com.openai:openai-java-core, com.openai:openai-java-client-okhttp - reproduced on both 4.31.0 and
  the current 4.54.0.
• Found while integrating streaming chat completions into a Jakarta EE 8 (Payara 5) application using
  javax.enterprise.concurrent.ManagedExecutorService for context/identity propagation.
