What

Preserve streamed OpenAI Responses reasoning items, including encrypted reasoning, across format translation.

Why

Responses streams can emit multiple reasoning items and can identify encrypted payloads separately from their content. The codec previously merged reasoning state into one item and could lose provider item IDs or replay-incompatible encrypted content.

Notes for reviewers

Reasoning state is now tracked per output index. Provider item IDs are retained for encrypted payload replay, ID-only announcements are deduplicated during buffering, and Chat output filters announcements that have no usable payload. Focus review on the Responses stream state transitions and the new coverage in stream_translation.rs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Improved streaming responses that include reasoning content, including encrypted reasoning details.
    • Preserved reasoning across multiple output items and provider event formats.
    • Reduced duplicate reasoning text in streamed responses.
    • Improved handling of reasoning and tool events arriving in different orders.
    • Suppressed empty provider-only reasoning events that contain no usable content.
    • Improved consistency and uniqueness of generated streamed item identifiers.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change preserves plaintext and encrypted reasoning across provider streams. It deduplicates decoded text, tracks multiple reasoning items, retains provider IDs, filters unresolved announcements, and generates response-aware item IDs. Tests cover event shapes, ordering, encryption, and re-encoding.

Changes

Responses reasoning preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Encrypted reasoning accumulation
crates/protocol/src/stream.rs
The response accumulator replaces encrypted announcements with later payloads and excludes unresolved announcements from finalized reasoning.
Translation reasoning state
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/stream.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/openai_chat/stream.rs
Translation state tracks indexed plaintext, encrypted payloads, provider IDs, and multiple reasoning items. OpenAI Chat suppresses empty encrypted details.
Responses reasoning decoding
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/responses/stream.rs
The decoder handles reasoning across stream events and output items, deduplicates text, and preserves encrypted content and provider IDs.
Responses reasoning encoding and IDs
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/responses/stream.rs
The encoder manages concurrent reasoning items, emits summary events, closes items, preserves encrypted content, and creates response-aware IDs.
Stream translation validation
crates/switchyard-translation/tests/stream_translation.rs
Tests cover encrypted reasoning, text deduplication, summary events, ID uniqueness, ordering, and normalized re-encoding.

The translation crate will not compile until the missing tracing dependency is declared, so the PR is not ready to merge.

A rabbit watched the reasoning stream,
Encrypted clues arrived like a dream.
IDs lined up, distinct and bright,
Duplicate words took gentle flight,
And every reasoning item reached the light.
