A regression test validates the two-turn flow, and a patch changeset documents the release. ChangesResponses reasoning replay
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change replays reasoning items during Responses tool loops, but the current implementation can still omit empty or multiple reasoning items from a follow-up request, causing tool-loop requests to fail with HTTP 400.

OpenAI Responses API reasoning items function calls manual conversation history include reasoning item id previous response input official documentation
💡 Result:
When using OpenAI's Responses API with reasoning models, it is essential to include reasoning items in your conversation history, particularly when performing function calls [1][2][3]. The model relies on these items to maintain its "chain-of-thought" and provide optimal performance [2][3][4]. If these items are omitted, the API will likely return an error [3][4]. How to Include Reasoning Items: 1. Automatic Management (Recommended): The simplest way to maintain conversation history is by using the previous_response_id parameter [1][2]. When you provide this ID, OpenAI automatically includes the relevant conversation history, including reasoning items, for the next turn [2][5]. 2. Manual Control (Stateless): If you need to manage the conversation history manually (e.g., storing it in your own database), you must preserve the reasoning items and function call responses exactly as they were returned by the API [2][3][4]. - When receiving a response, ensure you capture the entire output array, which includes reasoning items [5]. - To include these in future inputs, you must send them back in the same format they were delivered [6]. A reasoning item typically includes a type: "reasoning", a unique id (e.g., rs_...), and the encrypted_content [2][6][7]. - If you are operating statelessly (i.e., store=False), you must ensure these items are included in your input array for the next API request [6][7]. Best Practices: - Do not attempt to modify the raw reasoning text, as it remains opaque and the API does not return it directly [1]. - When performing series of function calls, feed the function outputs, alongside the associated reasoning items, back into the model to allow it to continue its reasoning process [1][2][3]. - To ensure you receive the necessary data to pass back, you may need to specify include=["reasoning.encrypted_content"] in your API request [6][7]. Failure to preserve the exact order and content of these items in your manually maintained history is a common cause of API errors, such as "Item ‘rs_xx’ of type ‘reasoning’ was provided without its required following item" [3][7].

Preserve every Responses API reasoning item independently.
captureReasoningItemId overwrites earlier IDs, and closeReasoning() emits a signed step only after non-empty reasoning content opens reasoningMessageId. The stream can therefore omit empty reasoning items and collapse multiple items into one signature. A manual follow-up can omit required reasoning items before the function_call and receive a Responses API 400. Retain each item, including empty items, in output order and replay every item. Add tests for empty and multiple reasoning items.

Implement logic to replay reasoning item ids during tool-loop turns, ensuring that function_call items maintain their required reasoning partner. This change addresses API error 400 by preserving the necessary context for reasoning items. Add corresponding tests to verify the round-trip of reasoning item ids with function calls.

On reasoning models, a Responses tool loop can fail with HTTP 400 after the tool runs. The second turn sends the
function_callwithout its pairedreasoningitem (rs_…). This PR stores that item id onthinking[].signatureand sends the reasoning item before the function call.Fixes #1212
