Summary

The Responses stream encoder opened a reasoning_summary_part for every reasoning item as soon as the item opened, and closed it only when text had streamed. An encrypted-only reasoning item, which GPT-5 models return on every turn behind a route that re-streams a buffered reply, therefore left the client with a response.reasoning_summary_part.added and no matching done, while the completed item carried an empty summary. Clients tolerate it today, but it contradicts the shape the encoder itself emits for the completed item. Surfaced by review on #639 against an earlier revision of the codec; the condition still held on main after #646.

Change

The summary part opens on the first non-empty text delta for the item instead of at item start. Encrypted-only items, and items whose provider sends an empty first delta, open, carry their payload, and close with an empty summary and no part events. Items with text see exactly the events they saw before: output_item.added, reasoning_summary_part.added, reasoning_summary_text.delta, reasoning_summary_text.done, reasoning_summary_part.done, output_item.done.

Implementation: the per-item encoder state gains a summary_started flag; ensure_responses_reasoning_started now emits only the item's added event, and a new ensure_responses_reasoning_summary_started emits the part's added event once, called from the text-delta path. An empty delta only opens the item.

Tests

Two new stream tests: an encrypted-only reasoning detail produces no summary events and closes with the provider id, the payload, and an empty summary; an empty reasoning delta opens the item and no part. The existing summary-text test still sees its part open and close. Translation suite 185 tests, clippy clean with -D warnings. Changelog entry under Unreleased.

Walkthrough

The Responses stream encoder now opens reasoning summary parts only when text deltas arrive. Encrypted-only reasoning items omit summary-part events and complete with their encrypted content and an empty summary. A regression test and changelog entry document the behavior.

An empty direct reasoning delta can still produce a summary-part-added event without its matching completion event, resulting in a malformed Responses stream for that input. This should be fixed before merge.

The Responses stream encoder opened a summary part on every reasoning item,
including encrypted-only items that never stream text, and closed it only
when text had accumulated. An encrypted-only item therefore left the client
with a reasoning_summary_part.added and no matching done, while the finished
item carried an empty summary. The part now opens on the first text delta,
so encrypted-only items open, carry their payload, and close with an empty
summary and no part events. A stream test covers the encrypted-only case;
the existing text case still sees its part open and close.

An empty reasoning delta opened the item's summary part without adding text,
and the part then never closed. The delta now only opens the item. Found by
review; covered by a stream test.
