Therefore, a forward-authenticated request can still run orphan-item repair, but it cannot receive a synthesized placeholder output unless its provider is also explicitly stateless.
The stateless tests also cover all required call types and preserve the existing orphan-output conversion behavior. If you found this review helpful, would you consider giving us a shout-out on X? Thank you for using CodeRabbit! You are interacting with an AI system. |

Blocking issue: the new missing-output repair inserts a synthetic output immediately after each dangling call. On DeepSeek reasoning turns with parallel calls, that can split the call batch and recreate the #1477 failure class.
Example input:
reasoning, call A, call B, output B
Current repair can produce:
reasoning, call A, synthetic output A, call B, output B
But OpenCodex's existing DeepSeek adjacency logic and regression coverage require the parallel calls to remain one reasoning-bearing batch:
reasoning, call A, call B, synthetic output A, output B
Because the synthetic output is inserted before call B, normalizeResponsesToolResultAdjacency() can no longer reliably recognise A and B as one parallel call batch. The updated test currently omits a reasoning item, so it does not cover this compatibility invariant.
Please preserve the complete call batch before inserting synthesized outputs, and add a regression test using a DeepSeek reasoning provider for reasoning + call A + call B + only output B, asserting the final order keeps both calls before both outputs.
I re-checked the other concerns: local_shell_call -> function_call_output matches upstream Codex history normalisation, and the previous forward + statelessResponses issue is already correctly fixed with stateless && !forward.

@Wibias — addressed in a73e71e. repairOrphanedInputItems now defers synthetic outputs and flushes them after the complete parallel call batch instead of immediately after each dangling call, so normalizeResponsesToolResultAdjacency() can still recognize reasoning + call A + call B as one reasoning-bearing batch (the #1477 invariant). Regression coverage: tests/responses-stateless-dangling-call-repair.test.ts now includes the exact reasoning, call A, call B, output B shape (expects reasoning, call A, call B, synthetic A, output B) plus a both-dangling variant; tests/deepseek-inbound-wire.test.ts updated its placeholder assertion to the batch-correct ordering with injected context preserved after the batch. Validation: bun run typecheck clean; 117/117 pass across the four affected suites. |

@coderabbitai — addressed in 5db42b4. The repair now tracks which calls received synthetic outputs and runs a batch reorder pass: for each consecutive parallel call batch containing a synthetic output, genuine and synthetic outputs are emitted in call order. So call_a + call_b with only the real output_a (call_b missing) now becomes call_a, call_b, output_a, synthetic call_b, and normalizeResponsesToolResultAdjacency can recognize the batch. Regression coverage added in tests/responses-stateless-dangling-call-repair.test.ts ("emits a synthetic output in call order after an earlier real output"): reasoning + call_a + call_b + real output_a asserts output_a precedes the synthetic call_b output. Validation: bun run typecheck clean; 118/118 pass across the four affected suites. |

… tool calls DeepSeek's official Responses route is stateless and strictly validates that every function_call/local_shell_call/custom_tool_call has a matching output item in the same body. A Codex thread can reach that state when an interrupted tool turn records the call but not its late-arriving result, and the upstream then rejects every retry with a 'No tool output found for tool call' error, making the thread non-continuable. repairOrphanedInputItems already repaired orphaned outputs (output without call); extend it to synthesize an honest placeholder output immediately after each orphaned call, gated to stateless wires (forward replay keeps the prior fail-closed behavior). Mirrors the openai-chat adapter's flushPendingToolCalls wording so the model sees execution status is unknown, not a fabricated result.
…alls Address the CodeRabbit merge-risk note by adding explicit regression coverage that forward-authenticated replay does NOT synthesize placeholder outputs for orphaned calls: the repair is gated on statelessResponses, and these tests pin the unchanged forward wire.
…r synthesis CodeRabbit flagged that a provider configured with both authMode=forward and statelessResponses could receive synthesized placeholder tool outputs. Tighten the gate to stateless && !forward and add a regression test pinning that forward auth plus statelessResponses still forwards a dangling call unchanged.

@Wibias — the blocking batch-ordering issue is fixed in 90c0bd2: synthetic outputs are now emitted in call order after the complete parallel call batch, with regression coverage for the reasoning + call A + call B + only output A shape. CodeRabbit is green and confirmed both findings addressed. Would appreciate a re-review whenever you have a moment — thanks! |

Summary
DeepSeek's official Responses route is stateless and strictly validates that every
function_call/local_shell_call/custom_tool_callhas a matching output item in the same body. A Codex thread can reach that state when an interrupted tool turn records the call but not its late-arriving result; the upstream then rejects every retry withNo tool output found for tool call <call_id>, making the thread non-continuable (observed withdeepseek/deepseek-v4-flash; the same thread resumed fine on BLSC, which is tolerant).repairOrphanedInputItemsalready repaired orphaned outputs (output without call -> converted to a user message). This PR adds the mirrored repair: on stateless, non-forward Responses wires only, a call without its paired output gets an honest placeholderfunction_call_output/custom_tool_call_outputemitted after the complete parallel call batch in call order, mirroring theopenai-chatadapter'sflushPendingToolCallswording so the model sees the execution status is unknown rather than a fabricated result.
