Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR fixes strict client parsing for non-streaming Gemini reasoning items by adding the required id and summary fields, while preserving tool calls and signatures. A bounded follow-up remains: reasoning text may be omitted when the item is replayed back to Gemini, so this behavior should be confirmed or addressed by the owner. Possibly related issues

Thanks for this - the bug report is precise, the repro is reproducible from the description alone, and the two commits together are a genuinely well-scoped fix. I verified the claim against the Vercel AI SDK's own schema: in openaiResponsesResponseSchema the reasoning item is { type: 'reasoning', id: z.string(), encrypted_content: z.string().nullish(), summary: z.array(...) }, so id and summary really are required on the non-streaming path (openai-responses-api.ts). The second commit (reading reasoning content blocks in thoughtTextParts) is the necessary complement: without it, summary: [] would have silently stopped thought text from reaching Gemini on replay, which the thinking guide forbids ("You MUST always resend all thought blocks exactly as they were received from the model", https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thinking).
I ran go vet ./providers/gemini/ and go test ./providers/gemini/ ./providers/vertex/ ./schemas/... on your branch: all green, 1423 tests. Nothing here blocks the merge. What follows is one real asymmetry the second commit leaves behind, plus reuse nits.
On the two questions a reviewer should ask here
Is the synthesized id stable and unique? Yes, and it matches the convention. ToResponsesBifrostResponsesResponse is called exactly once per request (providers/gemini/gemini.go:710, :814, providers/vertex/vertex.go:1450), so ids are stable within a response and unique across items. "rs_" + GetRandomString(50) is what anthropic, cohere, bedrock, and schemas/mux.go already emit, and the AI SDK only requires z.string() - no prefix check. Confirmed good.
Was the streaming path left inconsistent? Two divergences, both non-breaking, one worth a follow-up:
- Item id format differs: streaming emits
msg_<responseId>_reasoning_<n>viagenerateItemID(responses.go:1630,:1714), non-streaming now emitsrs_<random>. Harmless for strict clients, but the two surfaces of the same API now disagree on the shape of an id for the same item type. - Reasoning text placement differs, and this one is user-visible. Streaming sends the thought text as
response.reasoning_summary_text.deltaevents; non-streaming keeps it in thereasoning_textcontent block withsummary: []. The AI SDK'sdoGeneratereads reasoning only fromsummary, and explicitly pushes{type:'summary_text', text:''}whensummary.length === 0. So after this fix a non-streaming AI SDK client gets a reasoning part with empty text, while the same prompt withstream: trueshows the thinking. That is still a large improvement over the response failing validation outright, and it matches whatanthropicdoes today (providers/anthropic/responses.go:6281builds reasoning content blocks withsummary: [], and its streaming path also uses summary deltas), so changing it in this PR alone would make Gemini diverge from the rest of the repo. Calling it out as a repo-wide follow-up rather than something to fix here.
Findings
| # | Severity | Location | Finding | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Medium | core/providers/gemini/responses.go:627 | ToGeminiResponsesResponse's reasoning branch still reads thought text from Summary only, while thoughtTextParts now reads content blocks first. A reasoning item carrying the same text in both places is emitted as two identical {"thought":true,"text":...} parts. |
PLAUSIBLE (duplication reproduced; today's producers populate only one side) |
| 2 | Low | core/providers/gemini/responses.go:3536 | After adding ID, the inline case part.ThoughtSignature != nil block is byte-identical to reasoningFromThoughtSignature (:3100). Two copies now have to be kept in sync. |
CONFIRMED (reuse) |
| 3 | Low | core/providers/gemini/responses.go:3244 | "rs_" + GetRandomString(50) is now hand-written at 10+ sites across gemini, anthropic, cohere, and schemas/mux.go. A schemas.NewReasoningItemID() helper would make the next provider correct by construction. |
CONFIRMED (reuse/altitude) |
| 4 | Low | core/providers/gemini/responses.go:1630 | Streaming reasoning ids stay msg_..._reasoning_<n> while non-streaming becomes rs_<random>. No client rejects it, but it is a needless split. |
CONFIRMED (consistency nit) |
| 5 | Info | PR description | "The streaming path already sets both fields correctly" is true for id but not for summary: output_item.added on the thought path builds the item with no ResponsesReasoning at all, so summary is absent there too. It happens not to matter, because the AI SDK's chunk schema for output_item.added/.done validates only id and encrypted_content. Worth correcting in the description so the next reader does not trust it. |
CONFIRMED |
| 6 | Info | core/providers/gemini/reasoningidsummary_test.go | TestReasoningItemRoundTripToGeminiContents covers convertResponsesMessagesToGeminiContents but not ToGeminiResponsesResponse, which is the reader that finding 1 is about. A third round-trip case there would pin it down. |
CONFIRMED (coverage gap) |
Repro for finding 1, run against your branch:
txt := "Reasoning here."
msgs := []schemas.ResponsesMessage{{
ID: schemas.Ptr("rs_x"), Role: schemas.Ptr(schemas.ResponsesInputMessageRoleAssistant),
Type: schemas.Ptr(schemas.ResponsesMessageTypeReasoning),
Content: &schemas.ResponsesMessageContent{ContentBlocks: []schemas.ResponsesMessageContentBlock{
{Type: schemas.ResponsesOutputMessageContentTypeReasoning, Text: &txt}}},
ResponsesReasoning: &schemas.ResponsesReasoning{Summary: []schemas.ResponsesReasoningSummary{
{Type: schemas.ResponsesReasoningContentBlockTypeSummaryText, Text: txt}}},
}}
ToGeminiResponsesResponse(&schemas.BifrostResponsesResponse{Model: "gemini-2.5-pro", Output: msgs})
// parts: [{"thought":true,"text":"Reasoning here."},{"thought":true,"text":"Reasoning here."}]convertResponsesMessagesToGeminiContents handles the same input correctly (one part), because it goes through the new thoughtTextParts. The fix is to make the other reader go through it too.
Merge recommendation
Merge after nits. No confirmed correctness regression: the fix is right, the second commit is required, and the full gemini/vertex/schemas suite is green. Finding 1 is the only one I would like handled before or immediately after merge, because the PR is precisely what makes the two readers asymmetric; findings 2-6 are cleanups.
Followups
- In this PR (recommended, not blocking) -
core/providers/gemini/responses.go:627: replace the inlinefor _, summaryBlock := range msg.ResponsesReasoning.Summaryloop withcurrentParts = append(currentParts, thoughtTextParts(&msg)...)so both replay readers share the content-first-then-summary rule. - In this PR (nit) -
core/providers/gemini/responses.go:3532-3545: replace the inline signature-only construction withif m, ok := reasoningFromThoughtSignature(part); ok { messages = append(messages, m) }. - In this PR (nit) - update the PR description line about the streaming path setting both fields, per finding 5.
- Follow-up PR - add
schemas.NewReasoningItemID()and migrate the 10+"rs_" + GetRandomString(50)sites; optionally switchgenerateItemID("reasoning", ...)to the same prefix so streaming and non-streaming agree. - Follow-up PR (repo-wide) - decide whether non-streaming reasoning text should also be mirrored into
summaryso OpenAI-Responses clients can display it. This is a gemini + anthropic + bedrock decision, not a gemini-only one, and it depends on followup 1 landing first: with bothsummaryand content blocks populated,ToGeminiResponsesResponsewould duplicate the thought part today.

Nice complement to the id fix - without this, summary: [] would have stopped thought text from reaching Gemini on replay.
One gap: the other replay reader was not updated. ToGeminiResponsesResponse (same file, around line 627) still does its own for _, summaryBlock := range msg.ResponsesReasoning.Summary loop and never looks at content blocks. So the two readers now disagree, and an item that carries the text in both places yields the part twice:
// input: reasoning item with Content[reasoning_text]="Reasoning here." AND Summary=["Reasoning here."]
// ToGeminiResponsesResponse ->
// parts: [{"thought":true,"text":"Reasoning here."},{"thought":true,"text":"Reasoning here."}]
// convertResponsesMessagesToGeminiContents (this helper) ->
// parts: [{"thought":true,"text":"Reasoning here."}]
Suggested fix in ToGeminiResponsesResponse, replacing the inline summary loop:
currentParts = append(currentParts, thoughtTextParts(&msg)...)That also unblocks the natural follow-up of populating summary with the thought text, which is currently unsafe for exactly this reason.

Now that this carries an ID, this block is byte-for-byte identical to reasoningFromThoughtSignature at line 3100 (same ID, Role, Type, empty Summary, base64 EncryptedContent). Two copies that have to stay in sync is how the missing-id bug spread in the first place.

Correct format and consistent with anthropic, cohere, bedrock and schemas/mux.go, and I confirmed the id is unique and stable within a response (ToResponsesBifrostResponsesResponse is called once per request from gemini.go:710, gemini.go:814, vertex/vertex.go:1450).
Follow-up rather than a change request: "rs_" + schemas.GetRandomString(50) is now hand-written at 10+ sites across the repo, and this PR exists because one of them was missing. A single schemas.NewReasoningItemID() would make the next provider correct by construction. Worth pairing with aligning the streaming ids (generateItemID("reasoning", outputIndex) at line 1630 produces msg_<responseId>_reasoning_<n>), so both surfaces agree on the shape.

function_callafter the reasoning item, but the client throws before it ever sees the tool call, so agent loops die on the first reasoning turn. The streaming path already sets both fields correctly; only the non-streaming converter was missing them.Changes
