…tions OpenAI-compatible upstreams such as SGLang expose /v1/responses but return 500 for tool-bearing requests. Add an opt-in APIMode (chat/chat_completions/chat_compatible/responses_via_chat) that routes Responses and StreamResponses through the existing ResponsesViaChat translation instead of native passthrough, keeping function calling working on those upstreams. Default behavior is unchanged.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe OpenAI provider now supports chat-compatible routing for Responses API requests. Tests cover translated and native request paths. SGLang documentation describes the configuration workaround for tool-bearing requests. ChangesResponses API routing
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change adds opt-in routing while preserving native behavior by default. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Add APIMode-specific streaming and error-path tests.
This test covers only successful synchronous Responses translation. The new Provider.StreamResponses chat-compatible branch has no matching test. Add a streaming test that asserts /chat/completions routing and normalized Responses stream output. Add a failing /chat/completions case to confirm translated provider errors retain the normal error contract.
As per coding guidelines: **/*_test.go: Tests should cover request translation, response normalization, error handling, default configuration, and provider-specific parameter mapping.

Confidence Score: 4/5The change is not merge-safe because its documented SGLang workaround remains ineffective. There is one independently verified, non-security P1 finding. Under the required scoring table, one non-security P1 results in a score of 4. Files Needing Attention: internal/providers/sglang/sglang.go needs to propagate normalized API-mode selection and route both Responses methods through the chat-compatible translation when enabled.

Problem
Some OpenAI-compatible upstreams (observed on SGLang) expose
/v1/responsesbut return500 Internal Server Errorfor any request with a non-emptytoolsarray — even a single minimal function tool. Requests without tools succeed. This makes the Responses API unusable for tool-calling clients (e.g. Codex CLI, which always sends tool definitions) against such upstreams, while the same models serve chat completions with tools correctly.Change
Add an opt-in
api_modefor the genericopenaiprovider type. When set tochat/chat_completions/chat_compatible/responses_via_chat,ResponsesandStreamResponsesare routed through the existingResponsesViaChattranslation layer (already used by providers embeddingChatCompatible) instead of native/responsespassthrough.api_modekeeps native passthrough.api_modeor the existing<PROVIDER>_API_MODEenv var convention.Tests
TestResponses_APIModeChatCompatibleTranslatesViaChat: upstream/responsesreturns 500; provider withapi_mode: chat_compatiblesucceeds via/chat/completionsand translates tools into chat-completions function shape.TestResponses_APIModeDefaultKeepsNativePassthrough: default config still forwards to/responses.internal/providers/openaipackage suite passes.Summary by CodeRabbit
