feat(responses)!: add reasoning and annotation added events (#3793)
Implements missing streaming events from OpenAI Responses API spec: 
 - reasoning text/summary events for o1/o3 models, 
 - refusal events for safety moderation
 - annotation events for citations, 
 - and file search streaming events. 
 
Added optional reasoning_content field to chat completion chunks to
support non-standard provider extensions.

**NOTE:** OpenAI does _not_ fill reasoning_content when users use the
chat_completion APIs. This means there is no way for us to implement
Responses (with reasoning) by using OpenAI chat completions! We'd need
to transparently punt to OpenAI's responses endpoints if we wish to do
that. For others though (vLLM, etc.) we can use it.

## Test Plan

File search streaming test passes:
```
./scripts/integration-tests.sh --stack-config server:ci-tests \
   --suite responses --setup gpt --inference-mode replay --pattern test_response_file_search_streaming_events
```

Need more complex setup and validation for reasoning tests (need a vLLM
powered OSS model maybe gpt-oss which can return reasoning_content). I
will do that in a followup PR.

There are two obvious types of tests:

Type Location Purpose
Unit tests/unit/ Fast, isolated component testing
Integration tests/integration/ End-to-end workflows with record-replay

Both have their place. For unit tests, it is important to create minimal mocks and instead rely more on "fakes". Mocks are too brittle. In either case, tests must be very fast and reliable.

Record-replay for integration tests

Testing AI applications end-to-end creates some challenges:

  • API costs accumulate quickly during development and CI
  • Non-deterministic responses make tests unreliable
  • Multiple providers require testing the same logic across different APIs

Our solution: Record real API responses once, replay them for fast, deterministic tests. This is better than mocking because AI APIs have complex response structures and streaming behavior. Mocks can miss edge cases that real APIs exhibit. A single test can exercise underlying APIs in multiple complex ways making it really hard to mock.

This gives you:

  • Cost control - No repeated API calls during development
  • Speed - Instant test execution with cached responses
  • Reliability - Consistent results regardless of external service state
  • Provider coverage - Same tests work across OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, etc.

Testing Quick Start

You can run the unit tests with:

uv run --group unit pytest -sv tests/unit/

For running integration tests, you must provide a few things:

  • A stack config. This is a pointer to a stack. You have a few ways to point to a stack:

    • server:<config> - automatically start a server with the given config (e.g., server:starter). This provides one-step testing by auto-starting the server if the port is available, or reusing an existing server if already running.
    • server:<config>:<port> - same as above but with a custom port (e.g., server:starter:8322)
    • a URL which points to a Llama Stack distribution server
    • a distribution name (e.g., starter) or a path to a run.yaml file
    • a comma-separated list of api=provider pairs, e.g. inference=fireworks,safety=llama-guard,agents=meta-reference. This is most useful for testing a single API surface.
  • Any API keys you need to use should be set in the environment, or can be passed in with the --env option.

You can run the integration tests in replay mode with:

# Run all tests with existing recordings
  uv run --group test \
  pytest -sv tests/integration/ --stack-config=starter

Re-recording tests

Local Re-recording (Manual Setup Required)

If you want to re-record tests locally, you can do so with:

LLAMA_STACK_TEST_INFERENCE_MODE=record \
  uv run --group test \
  pytest -sv tests/integration/ --stack-config=starter -k "<appropriate test name>"

This will record new API responses and overwrite the existing recordings.


You must be careful when re-recording. CI workflows assume a specific setup for running the replay-mode tests. You must re-record the tests in the same way as the CI workflows. This means
- you need Ollama running and serving some specific models.
- you are using the `starter` distribution.

For easier re-recording without local setup, use the automated recording workflow:

# Record tests for specific test subdirectories
./scripts/github/schedule-record-workflow.sh --test-subdirs "agents,inference"

# Record with vision tests enabled
./scripts/github/schedule-record-workflow.sh --test-suite vision

# Record with specific provider
./scripts/github/schedule-record-workflow.sh --test-subdirs "agents" --test-provider vllm

This script:

  • 🚀 Runs in GitHub Actions - no local Ollama setup required
  • 🔍 Auto-detects your branch and associated PR
  • 🍴 Works from forks - handles repository context automatically
  • Commits recordings back to your branch

Prerequisites:

  • GitHub CLI: brew install gh && gh auth login
  • jq: brew install jq
  • Your branch pushed to a remote

Supported providers: vllm, ollama
