Preserve each reasoning item by its output index.
LlmResponseChunk::ReasoningDetailsDelta carries an index, but the Responses encoder ignores it. One StreamTranslationState accumulator merges all reasoning text, and each encrypted payload replaces the previous response_reasoning_encrypted value. Finalization therefore emits one reasoning item with only the last encrypted_content. Store reasoning state per index and emit one Responses reasoning item for each index. Add coverage for two encrypted reasoning items.

Encrypted-only reasoning opens a summary part that never closes.
encode_responses_stream calls ensure_responses_reasoning_started for every ReasoningDetailsDelta, including an encrypted-only detail with empty text (Lines 324-327). This emits response.reasoning_summary_part.added with summary_index: 0. finish_responses_stream then emits response.reasoning_summary_part.done only when state.response_reasoning_text is not empty (Line 400), and the final item carries summary: [].
For an encrypted-only stream the client therefore receives an opened summary part with no matching done and no corresponding entry in the item summary. That contradicts the comment at Lines 396-397, which states that encrypted-only reasoning gets no summary part.
Emit the summary-part added event only when reasoning text starts.

Verification update, same five DeepSWE-v1.1 tasks, Codex 0.149.1, Kimi-K3 efficient tier, escalation route, image built from this branch:
On the previous main-based image the same tasks recorded 0 reasoning items every time. Two of the four completed runs latched to the strong tier immediately (0 efficient-tier calls), so the judge path is exercised as well. I will add the fifth result when it lands. |

Final verification, all five tasks complete (same setup as above: Codex 0.149.1, Kimi-K3 efficient tier, escalation route, image built from this branch):
On the previous main-based image every one of these tasks recorded 0 reasoning items. No infrastructure failures; task 2's earlier non-zero agent exit was the verifier failing to compile that task's patch (task-level), and its final execution completed normally. The first three completed members of a full 113-task run on this image show the same picture: patches applied on all three, 19 / 24 / 23 reasoning items recorded by the client. |

Live check of the image built from 370793d (unique synthesized ids) on the same five DeepSWE tasks through the escalation route: all five completed, four solved, zero upstream 400s and zero judge fail-opens. Reasoning items recorded by the Codex client per task were 94, 65, 51, 35 and 41, up from 65, 48, 15, 28 and 26 on the previous commit and 0 on main, so the id change also lets the client keep more of the replayed reasoning. |
…cters Embedding the upstream response id made synthesized item ids unique across turns, but some upstreams issue response ids several hundred characters long, and OpenAI rejects replayed item ids over 64 characters. A session that started on such an upstream and later moved to an OpenAI model failed every request with a 400 on the replayed history. Long response ids are now replaced by a 64-bit FNV-1a digest, which keeps ids distinct per response while bounding their length.

Found a regression in the unique-id commit while running the escalation route live: the NVIDIA hub returns Kimi-K3 response ids of roughly 360 characters, so the synthesized item ids built from them ran to 377 characters. Kimi accepted the replayed history, but once a session latched to GPT-5.6 Sol every request failed with a 400 ("Invalid 'input[3].id': string too long, maximum length 64") and the session died. Fixed in 746202f: response ids longer than 40 characters are replaced by a 64-bit FNV-1a digest in the item id, which keeps ids distinct per response and bounded at well under 64 characters. A regression test drives two 370-character response ids through the encoder and checks the item ids stay under the limit and differ. |

Problem
Reasoning that passes through the OpenAI Responses codec on a buffered path never reaches a Codex client.
The primary cause is on the encoder side. When Switchyard re-emits a buffered response as a stream (the escalation router does this on every turn until a session latches), the Responses encoder synthesized reasoning items in a non-standard shape: text in
content: [{"type": "reasoning_text", ...}]with an emptysummary, streamed asresponse.reasoning_text.added/delta/doneevents. Upstream providers, and the Responses API itself, put reasoning text insummary: [{"type": "summary_text", ...}], streamed asresponse.reasoning_summary_part.added,response.reasoning_summary_text.delta,response.reasoning_summary_text.done, andresponse.reasoning_summary_part.done. Codex records only the standard shape and silently discards the synthesized one, so the efficient tier's reasoning was lost from the client's replayed history on every unlatched turn. A pure passthrough route is unaffected because it replays the provider's events verbatim.This was confirmed by capturing the raw upstream event stream from a live run (see the trace commit below): the provider emitted exactly the standard
reasoning_summary_*sequence, the decoder produced reasoning chunks for it, and the client still recorded zero reasoning items — the encoder's shape was the only remaining difference from passthrough.Two secondary gaps in the stream decoder are fixed alongside, because they drop reasoning before it ever reaches the IR on a buffered path:
On the decoder side,
decode_responses_output_item_addedanddecode_responses_output_item_doneonly turnfunction_callitems into chunks, and onlyresponse.reasoning_text.delta/response.reasoning_summary_text.deltaproduce reasoning. Two real provider behaviours therefore produce no chunk at all, so the reasoning never enters the neutral IR: areasoningitem that carries onlyencrypted_contentwith no plaintext, and areasoningitem whose text is delivered only in the completed item (intext,content, orsummary) with no streamed delta events at all. An OpenAI-compatible gateway fronting Kimi-K3 does exactly the latter: the client observes items shaped{"type": "reasoning", "id": ..., "text": "..."}.The buffered decoder already reads item-level
text; the stream decoder did not.On the encoder side, a details-only reasoning chunk was discarded outright:
and the reasoning items the encoder did emit were synthetic (
rs_N, text content only) with noencrypted_content. The buffered codec had the same gap on both sides:decode_responses_reasoning_itemignoredencrypted_content, andencode_responses_reasoning_outputemitted text only.A pure passthrough route is unaffected because a same-format preserved event replays the provider JSON verbatim and never goes through decode or encode. Any path that must aggregate and re-emit the response does go through it. The escalation router is one such path: it buffers the efficient tier's reply so the judge can read the completed turn, then serves that reply through the encoder on every unlatched turn. With a reasoning model that returns encrypted reasoning, the client receives no reasoning item to replay on the next turn.
The chat codec already round-trips reasoning through
reasoning_details, so the behaviour was inconsistent across formats.Change
The change is confined to the Responses codec plus shared helpers and stream-state fields, and it introduces no protocol change: the existing
{"type": "reasoning.encrypted", "data": ...}detail shape documented onContentBlock::Reasoningis used as-is.On the encoder side, both the stream and buffered encoders now emit reasoning in the standard shape. A streamed item opens with
summary: [], emitsresponse.reasoning_summary_part.addedfollowed byresponse.reasoning_summary_text.deltaper chunk, and closes withresponse.reasoning_summary_text.done,response.reasoning_summary_part.done, and anoutput_item.donewhose item carriessummary: [{"type": "summary_text", "text": ...}]. Thecontentfield and thereasoning_text.*events are no longer produced, andencrypted_contentis attached when present. AReasoningDetailsDeltachunk now opens the reasoning item (viaensure_responses_reasoning_started, factored out of the existing text path) and records the encrypted payload instead of being discarded; on finish the item carriesencrypted_contentand only includes asummary_textpart when text actually streamed. Synthesized output-item ids now include the response id (rs_<response>_<index>,msg_...,fc_...) so that ids stay unique across turns when a client replays the conversation; previously every re-emitted response reusedrs_0,fc_1, and so on. Three existing tests that pinned the oldcontent[0]layout on reasoning items and one that pinned themsg_0literal were updated; message items are unchanged and still usecontent.On the decoder side, the stream decoder now decodes a
reasoningitem wherever a provider may carry it:response.output_item.added,response.output_item.done,response.reasoning_text.done,response.reasoning_summary_text.done,response.reasoning_summary_part.done, and items that appear only insideresponse.completed'soutputarray (array position is the output index). Text found incontent,summary, or top-leveltextbecomes aReasoningDelta, andencrypted_contentbecomes aReasoningDetailsDeltacarrying areasoning.encrypteddetail. Per-index state (decoded_reasoning,decoded_reasoning_encrypted) guarantees each item's text and encrypted payload decode exactly once regardless of how many of those events repeat it, mirroring how tool arguments are deduplicated. The buffered decoder keepsencrypted_contentas areasoning.encrypteddetail and no longer fabricates an empty text part on re-encode.collect_responses_reasoning_textmoves tocodecs::commonso both decoders share it, alongside a newencrypted_reasoning_datahelper.A separate commit adds an opt-in trace of raw upstream Responses events (
RUST_LOG=switchyard_translation::responses::raw=trace) so provider-specific event shapes can be captured from a live run without a debugger. It adds the workspacetracingdependency toswitchyard-translation(one-lineCargo.lockchange), is independent of the fix, and can be dropped if unwanted.Encoding still goes through the normal response path, so request-extension handling such as Codex tool-name namespace restoration is unchanged.
Testing
Tests were written first and confirmed failing on
mainbefore the change. The new tests areresponses_stream_decodes_encrypted_reasoning_item_into_details,responses_stream_encodes_encrypted_reasoning_details_as_reasoning_item,responses_encrypted_reasoning_item_survives_buffered_round_trip(run withPreservationPolicy::Disabledso the same-format shortcut cannot mask the codec),responses_stream_decodes_text_only_reasoning_item_from_done,responses_stream_does_not_duplicate_streamed_reasoning_on_done,responses_stream_decodes_reasoning_text_from_added_done_and_completed_once(each carrier decodes exactly once, and aresponse.completedoutput that repeats already-streamed reasoning adds nothing), andresponses_stream_encodes_reasoning_as_summary_text(the standardreasoning_summary_*events and asummary_textitem are emitted; the legacyreasoning_text.*events are not).cargo test --workspace --exclude prefill-router --exclude switchyard-py: 703 passed, 0 failed. The two excluded crates fail to link on the build host (rust-lld: unable to find library -lpython3.12), unrelated to this change.cargo clippy -p switchyard-translation --all-targets -- -D warningsis clean andcargo fmtwas applied.End to end, with Codex driving an escalation route against a server built from this branch and a mock upstream that replays the exact
reasoning_summary_*event sequence captured from a live provider (via the trace commit), the conversation the client sends back upstream is identical to the passthrough route: the reasoning item is present with itssummary_text, andfunction_call/function_call_outputpairing resolves. Before the change the escalation route replayed no reasoning items while passthrough replayed them all.Against the real hub (Codex 0.149.1, Kimi-K3 efficient tier, escalation route, DeepSWE-v1.1 tasks), an image built from this branch versus the previous main-based image on the same five tasks:
The raw upstream trace on those runs shows the provider emitting only
response.reasoning_summary_part.added,response.reasoning_summary_text.delta,response.reasoning_summary_text.done, andresponse.reasoning_summary_part.donefor reasoning, which is the shape the encoder now reproduces. All five tasks completed without infrastructure errors; 3 of 5 solved.Found while benchmarking the escalation router with Codex on DeepSWE-v1.1, where the buffered path is taken on every turn until a session latches. Supersedes #636, which attempted to fix the same symptom by replaying raw provider events and regressed because that bypassed response encoding.
