1506-1506: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd concise comments for the new regression-test invariants.
Document the invariant that each test protects: complete conversation accumulation, storage only after stream completion, and latest materialized state surviving provider-owned writes.
As per coding guidelines, Rust changes require concise comments for “tests that encode important behavior.”

both response_id and conversation are absent, preserving conversation history
when store is false. Add a concise comment documenting this invariant, while
retaining the existing response-ID behavior.

the third request, alongside the existing checks in the request-body validation,
ensuring it contains “seed question” so the retained seed turn is verified while
preserving the current assertions for later turns.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert that the third request retains the seed turn.
The buffered continuation test checks only "recall question" and "thanks question" in the third request. If retained history drops "seed question" but keeps those later turns, the existing assertions still pass.

remember_canonical_response recorded cross-format materialized history under the response id only, so a Responses continuation by conversation missed its state and reached the backend without prior turns. Pass the request conversation id through and overwrite the conversation entry on materialized records so multi-turn chains keep the latest history.

This bug seems pretty consequential. The bug happens when:
I repro'd on my end |
|
One more bit of context after testing this: I think this is a narrow bug rather than something affecting most Responses traffic. The SDK does not send So this is probably an edge case in terms of usage. It is still a supported API path, and within that path the failure is deterministic: every cross-format follow-up loses the earlier conversation. |

Could we drop this test? The conversation cases in responses_stored_tool_continuation_materializes_for_anthropic already run three turns against Anthropic and verify the earlier tool call, result, and answer are replayed. Adding the seed-message assertion there should cover this without a second 125-line fixture.

Done in 671ffe9. Dropped it and added the seed assertion to the tool continuation test.

Could we fold this into streamed_cross_format_state_is_recorded_only_after_completion above? If that seed also carries a conversation ID, we can check both the existing response-ID lookup and the conversation lookup after the stream completes without keeping a second copy of the stream setup.

Done in 671ffe9. Folded it in. The seed now carries a conversation id, and the test checks both lookups after completion, including store: false and a missing response id.
Drop the standalone buffered conversation test and assert the seed turn in the stored tool continuation test. Merge the streamed conversation test into the existing streamed state test so one setup checks both the response id and conversation lookups.

@afourniernv thanks for reproducing it. Agreed, it is narrow since |
|
Thanks for cleaning up the tests. I repro’d the fix at One thing I think we need to sort out before merging: Maybe that is intended, but I do not see it called out anywhere. Can you think through the boundary here and propose a fix? I do not think we can merge until this is resolved. |
I actually dont understand this right now, I'll have to look at the code once. Ill get back to you. |

@afourniernv looked at it properly now. You're righ, the state map is one per I feel when |

What
remember_canonical_responserecorded cross-format materialized history under the response id only, hardcodingNonefor the conversation id. This PR passes the request conversation id through on both the buffered and streamed paths, and stores materialized conversation records with latest-wins semantics so multi-turn chains keep the full history. Three regression tests cover the behavior.Why
A Responses client continuing a cross-format conversation (Chat or Anthropic backend) by
conversationsilently lost all prior turns. The backend received only the new turn and answered without context while the server returned HTTP 200. The equivalentprevious_response_idcontinuation works, so the two supported selectors disagreed. Fixes #802.Notes for reviewers
