Why

Issue #891 was one instance of a wider gap: a provider returns opaque state it needs back verbatim on the next turn (Gemini 3 thought signatures, Anthropic thinking blocks), and the canonical chat type has no named place for it. Each provider improvised its own extras key and its own strip logic, and nothing checked that the response side and the request side agreed.

What changes

  • One convention. Replay state lives under extra_content.<vendor> on messages, tool calls, and Responses items. google holds thought_signature; anthropic holds thinking_blocks and is_error (moved from the flat internal keys the Anthropic ingress used before).
  • Copied through everywhere. Chat, Responses, and Anthropic Messages ingress carry the member untouched. The Anthropic Messages API now exposes extra_content on tool_use blocks in responses and streams, and accepts it back on request tool_use blocks, so a Gemini 3 history driven through /v1/messages replays real signatures instead of the placeholder. Verified live against gemini-3.5-flash-lite: verbatim echo succeeds, a corrupted signature is rejected by Gemini, a stripped one falls back to the placeholder.
  • Stripped once, on every route. Before dispatch the router drops every vendor the selected provider does not own: chat and Responses requests for every dialect, and batch items that carry the member (other batch items stay opaque and byte-identical). Previously only the Anthropic dialect stripped, and only its own keys. Gemini and Vertex own google; Anthropic owns anthropic; everyone else receives no extra_content.
  • Round-trip contract test. tests/contract replays a signed Gemini reply, echoes the assistant turn back through each of the three ingress dialects, and asserts the upstream functionCall carries the signature verbatim. A second test pins Anthropic thinking-block replay. Either would have failed on Issue: Gemini tool calling fails with missing thought_signature #891 from day one.
  • Docs. New page docs/advanced/extra-content.mdx describing the convention; Gemini and Anthropic Messages pages link to it. docs/openapi.json regenerated: extra_content on Anthropic content blocks and on Responses input/output items (the regeneration also picked up a pre-existing internal_error enum drift).

No public API is removed. The only wire change is additive: extra_content on Anthropic tool_use blocks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Provider-specific replay state is preserved across Chat Completions, Responses, and Anthropic Messages APIs.
    • Anthropic tool-use responses, including streamed tool calls, can include extra_content.
    • Provider-owned metadata is retained while unrelated provider metadata is filtered during routing.
    • API schemas now recognize extra_content on supported request and response items.
    • Added internal_error as a documented error type.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for extra_content, Gemini thought signatures, and Anthropic thinking blocks.
    • Updated API schemas and navigation to document the new fields and error type.

Gemini thought signatures and Anthropic thinking blocks are replay state a
provider needs back verbatim. Each used its own ad-hoc extras key and strip
logic. Now both live under extra_content.<vendor>, every ingress copies the
member through, and the router drops foreign vendors for every dialect
before dispatch. The Anthropic Messages API gains extra_content on tool_use
blocks (request, response, stream), so a Gemini 3 history driven through it
replays its signatures instead of the placeholder. A contract test pins the
response -> ingress -> request round trip for all three dialects.

Confidence Score: 2/5

Not safe to merge until Responses routing, ordinary batch routing, and the published Responses API schema preserve the documented replay contract.

Executed request-routing, batch-routing, and schema checks each reproduced a distinct failure in provider replay behavior.

Files Needing Attention: internal/providers/router_inference.go, internal/providers/cache_control.go, and tools/openapi-postprocess.mjs need attention.

    P1 Filter Responses Replay State

    Responses forwarding only rewrites the model and provider; it does not remove vendor replay state for the selected provider. A Gemini function_call containing extra_content.google is converted to a chat tool call and sent unchanged to an OpenAI-type provider. That provider can reject a replay request containing foreign metadata, breaking cross-provider tool-call continuation.

    Knowledge Base Used:

    Artifacts

    Evidence from the check

    • The authored Go test sends a Responses function call with Gemini replay state through router dispatch to an OpenAI-type chat-backed provider and captures the received Chat request, demonstrating that the state is forwarded.

    Evidence from the check

    • The authored shell runner creates a parent-commit worktree and executes the same narrow Go harness against both the baseline and changed code, producing the paired evidence logs.

    Command output from the check

    • Captured `go test` output against the parent commit shows a completed Responses dispatch and the Google thought signature forwarded to the OpenAI-type chat-backed provider, confirming the baseline behavior.

    Command output from the check

    • Captured `go test` output from the changed HEAD run uses the same request and dispatch path after the change, showing the paired behavior for comparison.

    P1 Expose Responses Replay State

    The generated Responses input and output item schemas omit extra_content, even though function-call responses now emit it and replay accepts it. Strict OpenAPI-generated clients cannot deserialize and resend the provider state required for tool-call replay, so the documented Responses replay flow breaks for those clients.

    Knowledge Base Used: OpenAI-compatible inference APIs

    Artifacts

    Evidence from the check

    • Authored Node script reads a specified committed OpenAPI document and checks whether both Responses item models expose extra_content, showing whether strict typed replay is representable.

    Evidence from the check

    • Authored shell command invokes the OpenAPI replay check against HEAD^, capturing the pre-feature schema condition.

    Evidence from the check

    • Authored shell command invokes the OpenAPI replay check against HEAD, capturing the feature-change schema condition.

    Command output from the check

    • Executed HEAD^ schema check shows neither Responses input nor output item documents extra_content, so strict typed-client replay is not representable.

    Command output from the check

    • Executed HEAD schema check shows the same extra_content omission remains after the runtime replay-state feature.

    Command output from the check

    • Executed contract test passes its Responses replay subtest, proving runtime preserves the Gemini thought signature when the returned function call is echoed back.

  3. General comment

    P1 Responses routing forwards Google replay state to non-Google chat-backed providers

    • Bug
      • A POST /v1/responses request containing a function_call with extra_content.google.thought_signature is routed to an OpenAI-type chat-backed provider with that extra_content still attached to the converted Chat tool_calls[0] request.
    • Cause
      • forwardResponsesRequest in internal/providers/router_inference.go:25-29 does not receive route/provider-type information and does not call adaptExtraContent. The changed filtering logic is applied only to forwardChatRequest, leaving the Responses route unfiltered before ResponsesViaChat converts and dispatches it.
    • Fix
      • Pass the resolved route (or at minimum route.providerType) into Responses forwarding and apply the equivalent foreign-vendor filtering to Responses input items before chat-backed translation/dispatch. Add a router-level Responses test for an OpenAI-type provider and a function_call.extra_content.google payload.

  4. General comment

    P1 Ordinary inline batches bypass foreign replay-state filtering

    • Bug
      • For a normal OpenAI-compatible /v1/batches request routed to OpenAI, an inline item carrying extra_content.anthropic reaches the selected provider unchanged. The provider-bound item is the JSON line later used for provider batch upload, so foreign replay state is not filtered before upload.
    • Cause
      • adaptAnthropicBatchCacheControl exits immediately when the request dialect is not RequestDialectAnthropicMessages (internal/providers/cache_control.go:51-53). Router.CreateBatch forwards the returned request directly to the native batch provider (internal/providers/router_native.go:11-18). Consequently, the newly added adaptExtraContent call at internal/providers/cache_control.go:69 is unreachable for ordinary /v1/batches ingress.
    • Fix
      • Apply per-item adaptExtraContent(chat, providerType) to decodable chat-completion items for ordinary OpenAI-compatible batches as well, while preserving opaque handling for unsupported endpoints/items. Add a regression test for ordinary /v1/batches input routed to a non-Anthropic provider.

  5. General comment

    P1 Responses OpenAPI item schemas omit required extra_content replay state

    • Bug
      • core.ResponsesOutputItem and core.ResponsesInputElement in the generated OpenAPI document have no extra_content property. The changed code emits extra_content on a function_call response item (internal/providers/responses_output.go:159-183) and the contract test's Responses replay serializes that output and feeds it back (tests/contract/extra_content_roundtrip_test.go:100-110). Strict OpenAPI-generated output/input models therefore cannot retain or send the state required to replay provider tool calls.
    • Cause
      • ResponsesOutputItem.ExtraFields and ResponsesInputElement.ExtraFields are marked swaggerignore, and ensureResponsesInputElementSchema in tools/openapi-postprocess.mjs:87-125 does not add an explicit free-form extra_content property. No corresponding postprocessing adds it to core.ResponsesOutputItem. The feature commit only added the field to Anthropic schemas.
    • Fix
      • Add extra_content as a free-form object to both core.ResponsesOutputItem and core.ResponsesInputElement in the OpenAPI/Swagger postprocessors, regenerate docs/openapi.json and embedded docs, and add a schema regression check that a generated typed client can deserialize an output function call and serialize it into replay input without losing extra_content.

P1 Filter Inline Batch State

Ordinary OpenAI-compatible batch requests return before replay-state adaptation, so an inline item with extra_content.anthropic reaches an OpenAI provider unchanged. The provider-bound JSONL item can then contain unsupported foreign metadata and be rejected, preventing that batch item from running.

Knowledge Base Used: Provider registry and adapters

Artifacts

Evidence from the check

  • Runs the identical Router.CreateBatch probe against HEAD^ and HEAD with a foreign Anthropic replay member, showing whether the provider-bound line was filtered.

Command output from the check

  • Captured HEAD^ test output shows a successful provider batch response and an upload line retaining foreign extra_content.

Command output from the check

  • Captured HEAD test output shows the same successful provider batch response and the same unfiltered foreign extra_content, confirming the defect remains.

Fixed in 825fd83: adaptBatchRequest now runs for every dialect. Ordinary batch items stay opaque unless their body mentions extra_content; those are decoded, filtered to the target vendor, and re-encoded (chat and Responses items). Regression test: TestAdaptBatchRequest_StripsForeignExtraContentFromOrdinaryBatches.

…utes

Per review: the Responses route and ordinary OpenAI-compatible batches
bypassed the vendor filter, so a Gemini signature could reach OpenAI. Batch
items stay opaque unless they carry extra_content. The Responses item
schemas now document the member.

Reject Responses items in Anthropic-dialect batches.

When anthropicDialect is true, the *core.ResponsesRequest case is handled before the non-chat rejection. A Responses batch item can therefore pass through an Anthropic Messages batch instead of returning the invalid-request error used for other non-chat items. Reject this case when anthropicDialect is true, and add a regression test for a /v1/responses item in an Anthropic batch.

As per coding guidelines, **/*_test.go files must add or update tests for behavior changes, including error handling.
