During October 2025, Norrs contributed to the envoyproxy/envoy repository by implementing explicit gRPC error reporting for the rate limit quota (RLQS) filter. This work introduced a configuration-driven approach that allows explicit gRPC status codes and messages to be set for deny responses, enhancing error clarity and consistency for gRPC clients. Norrs used C++ and YAML to enforce precedence rules, ensuring that explicit gRPC statuses override HTTP-to-gRPC mappings, and updated related tests to validate the new behavior. Documentation and release notes were expanded to describe the new deny_response_settings options, reflecting a focused and well-scoped engineering effort.
October 2025 monthly summary for envoyproxy/envoy: Implemented explicit gRPC error reporting for the rate limit quota (RLQS) filter. Enabled explicit gRPC status codes and messages in deny responses via deny_response_settings.grpc_status, improving error clarity and consistency for gRPC clients. When grpc_status is explicitly set, Envoy uses that status code and message; otherwise it derives the gRPC status from the HTTP status. For gRPC requests, the message is used as the body text (grpc-message), aligning with other gRPC filters. The change is scoped to the deny path and config-driven behavior and introduces low risk.
