📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Responses API adapter now deduplicates replayed reasoning IDs and removes function-call item IDs when reasoning/function-call pairing is invalid. Regression tests cover valid pairing, multiple reasoning items, repeated IDs, and ChangesResponses reasoning replay
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Severity of issue fixed: Medium Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Some replayed assistant turns can still be rejected by the Responses API when duplicate reasoning IDs reduce multiple reasoning entries to one while function-call IDs remain preserved. The pairing condition should be corrected before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Require exactly one reasoning candidate, not just one emitted reasoning item.
emittedReasoning === 1 is also true when the message had two reasoning candidates and one was removed as a duplicate. In that case the message still replays two function_call items with their persisted ids, but only one reasoning item reaches input. The API then rejects the request with the same Item 'fc_...' of type 'function_call' was provided without its required 'reasoning' item: 'rs_...' error this change removes. The trigger is the duplicate-id provider behavior described in the changeset, applied to two thinking entries of one assistant message.
Gate on the candidate count as well, so a de-duplicated message never keeps its call ids.
🐛 Proposed fix
- const canPairReasoning =
- reasoningCandidates === 0 || emittedReasoning === 1
+ const canPairReasoning =
+ reasoningCandidates === 0 ||
+ (reasoningCandidates === 1 && emittedReasoning === 1)Please also add a regression test for one assistant message that carries two reasoning entries where one id was already replayed.

Summary
A
ModelMessagestores reasoning and tool calls as two flat arrays, soconvertMessagesToInputreplays them grouped: reasoning A, reasoning B, call A, call B. The Responses API requires a persistedfunction_callitem to sit directly after the reasoning item that produced it, so as soon as a turn contains two or more reasoning items the pairing breaks and the request is rejected with:Because the regrouped order is what gets stored, the thread stays broken for every later turn. A turn with a single reasoning item still lands it right before its call, which is why this only shows up once the model reasons more than once in one response.
This keeps the item id only when the pairing can actually hold. When a message contributed two or more reasoning items — or when its reasoning was dropped as a duplicate — its calls are sent without
id, so the API treats them as fresh items and stops demanding the adjacent reasoning.call_idis never touched, so the matchingfunction_call_outputstill correlates. Messages with one reasoning item, or none at all, are unchanged and keep their ids (and their prompt-cache hits).It also fixes the second, rarer failure reported in the same issue: a reasoning item id is now replayed at most once, so a transcript that ended up with the same
rs_...on two assistant messages no longer fails withDuplicate item found with id rs_.... That de-duplication feeds the pairing decision above — a message whose only reasoning item was dropped as a duplicate has nothing left to pair with, so its calls are unpaired too.Fixes #1345
Changes
packages/openai-base/src/adapters/responses-text.ts:convertMessagesToInputnow tracks reasoning ids across the whole input and skips repeats, counts how many reasoning items each assistant message actually contributed, and omitsidon that message'sfunction_callitems unless exactly one reasoning item was emitted (or the message had no reasoning at all).packages/openai-base/tests/responses-text.test.ts: three regression tests..changeset/openai-responses-reasoning-pairing.md.Verification
vitest runinpackages/openai-base: 220 passed, andpackages/ai-openai: 260 passed (builtai-utils→ai→openai-basefirst). Of the three new tests, the two that describe the bug fail onmainand pass with the fix; the third — a single reasoning item keeping itsfc_id — passes both ways and is there to guard against over-correcting.I could not run the reporter's sandbox end to end, since it needs a live
OPENAI_API_KEYand a model that actually emits two reasoning items in one response (OpenAI rejects reasoning it did not mint, so a static fixture can't stand in). The tests instead assert theinputarray thatconvertMessagesToInputproduces, which is the artefact the API rejects, and they match the ordering the reporter captured. The reporter separately confirmed against their real broken thread that dropping the saved call ids makes it replay (15/15 failures → pass).Note on the alternative fix
The ideal fix is to replay reasoning and tool calls in their original interleaved order, but a
ModelMessagedoes not record it — recovering that would mean carrying an ordering hint through the stored message format, which is a much bigger change and a persisted-format decision that seems yours to make. This takes the fallback the issue suggests ("if the stored message can't preserve that order, drop the saved tool-call id"), which is also what @harshlocham's review of #1290 anticipated. Happy to rework it if you would rather see the ordering preserved properly.The prior PR for this issue (#1347) was closed by its author; this is an independent implementation with test coverage for the interleaved case that the #1290 review asked for.
