Provider-agnostic reasoning replay.
Captures provider-native reasoning content from one assistant turn and
replays it on the next, in a shape each provider accepts. Mirrors
OpenRouter’s reasoning_details[] schema (the broadest typed surface
across providers): every item is one of three variants — plain
reasoning text (with optional opaque signature), provider-emitted
summary, or fully-encrypted blob — tagged with the originating
provider’s format discriminator.
Why this exists: providers split on two axes. Where the handle
attaches (Gemini binds thoughtSignature to a specific Part;
Anthropic binds signature to a thinking content block;
OpenAI/xAI carry encrypted_content on a separate reasoning input
item) and whether replay is required (Gemini 3 always-with-tools;
Anthropic only when next turn carries tool_result; OpenAI when a
function call is in the turn; Grok stateless). A flat opaque-bytes
abstraction collapses the attachment point and breaks Gemini.
The right shape: typed enum with provider-shaped variants, and the
per-provider ReasoningCodec knows how to read each native shape on
response and emit each native shape on the next request. The bridge
stores the typed enum verbatim; the codec is a stateless translator
between typed item and provider wire shape.
Structs§
- Open
Router Reasoning Codec - Default codec: reads OpenRouter’s
reasoning_details[]schema on response, writes the same on the assistant message for replay. Covers every provider OpenRouter routes to (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, xAI, Azure, etc.) because OpenRouter normalizes them all to this shape. - Replay
Audit - Diagnostic about a single assistant turn’s reasoning state.
Enums§
- Reasoning
Format - Tagged provider source for a reasoning item.
- Reasoning
Item - One provider-emitted reasoning element.
- Replay
Contract - Whether this turn’s reasoning items satisfy the next-turn replay contract for the originating provider.
- Replay
Violation - A specific way the audited turn would fail upstream on replay.
Traits§
- Reasoning
Codec - Plug-and-play translator between provider-native reasoning shapes
and Clark’s typed
ReasoningItemrepresentation.
Functions§
- audit_
replay - Audit a turn’s reasoning items against the codec’s replay contract.
