Assert the preserved signature value.

Line 87 only checks that EncryptedContent exists. The test passes if conversion corrupts or replaces the signature. Compare EncryptedContent with the expected base64 encoding of opaque-signature-bytes.

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.

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.
