Problem

esponses_wrappers.py keeps a module-global
esponses dict. Entries are inserted on create/get/streaming paths but only removed in cancel wrappers, so any response that finishes normally stays for the life of the process (#4473 reports OOM from retained TracedData). A later
etrieve/parse on an already completed response could also emit a degraded duplicate span.

Solution

  1. After a successful completion span is emitted, pop the dict entry on sync/async/stream success paths. Cancel-path cleanup is unchanged.
  2. Gate streaming cleanup on
    esponse_status == "completed" so in-progress entries remain available for Responses.retrieve polling (CodeRabbit review on this PR).
  3. Track emitted response ids in a bounded LRU and skip a second completion span for an id already emitted, preserving create-time start_time/input/ ools/ race_context (Responses API: completed responses are never removed from the global responses dict #4473 part 2).

Testing

  • Command: python packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/tests/offline_review_4482.py
  • Result: 3 passed, 0 failed
  • Cases: completed stream pop; in-progress stream retained; emitted-id helper first/second mark; source contracts for sync/async pops and status-gated stream cleanup
  • Added unit tests in ests/traces/test_responses.py for completed pop, in-progress retention, and duplicate-emission skip

Agent dimension

streaming-state (observability memory retention on agent/response streams)

Core value

Completed agent Responses traces no longer pin TracedData for the process lifetime, and retrieve-after-complete no longer emits a degraded duplicate span.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Response completion handling now tracks emitted IDs, suppresses duplicate spans, removes completed entries, and retains incomplete streaming entries for later retrieval. Tests cover these conditions and the bounded tracking behavior.

Changes

Response completion handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded emission tracking
packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/.../responses_wrappers.py, packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/tests/offline_review_4482.py
Adds bounded, locked tracking for emitted response IDs. Duplicate and empty IDs do not emit another completion span.
Completion and streaming paths
packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/.../responses_wrappers.py
Synchronous and asynchronous paths guard completion emission and remove completed entries. Streaming cleanup ends the span and removes entries only for completed responses with IDs.
Regression coverage
packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/tests/traces/test_responses.py, packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/tests/offline_review_4482.py
Adds tests for incomplete-stream retention, duplicate suppression, cancellation cleanup, cleanup conditions, and bounded emitted-ID tracking.

Explanation

Issue #4473 requires terminal cleanup, in-progress retention, and duplicate completion suppression with regression coverage. The implementation adds sync and async responses.pop(...), gates streaming cleanup on completed status and a response ID, and uses a locked bounded LRU for emitted IDs. However, test_duplicate_completed_emission_is_skipped calls threading.Lock() without importing threading in that function or at module scope. The test raises NameError, so the required automated coverage does not pass.

Address CodeRabbit on traceloop#4482:

Pushed review follow-up on this PR:

  1. Stream cleanup gated on completed status - ResponseStream._process_complete_response now pops only when
    esponse_status == "completed" and a
    esponse_id exists, so in-progress entries stay available for Responses.retrieve polling.
  2. Bounded emitted-id guard - completion spans are emitted once per response id (LRU, 2048). A later
    etrieve/parse on an already completed response no longer emits a degraded duplicate span (Responses API: completed responses are never removed from the global responses dict #4473 part 2).
  3. Tests - offline contract checks (3 passed) plus unit cases for completed pop, in-progress retention, and duplicate-emission skip.
  4. PR body - cleaned and aligned with the final diff; Testing section reflects the current branch run.

Happy to adjust the LRU size or drop part 2 if maintainers prefer a smaller first landing.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

<scratchpad_start>
[task level_1/1]
Assess duplicate span emission in the streaming completion path.
[observations]

  • _mark_response_emitted returns False for an already-marked response ID.
  • Responses.retrieve, Responses.parse, and their async variants use the non-stream completion wrapper.
  • Streaming Responses.create returns ResponseStream.
  • Stream completion ends the span before checking the shared helper.
    [analysis]
  • A retrieve or parse call can mark a completed ID while its stream remains active.
  • Later stream completion ends a second span and ignores the helper result.
  • The correction must check the helper before completion-span emission and preserve completed-response cleanup.
    [done]
    Static subject, path, and consequence established.
    </scratchpad_start>

Check _mark_response_emitted before completing a stream span. Responses.retrieve, Responses.parse, and their asynchronous variants can mark a completed response ID while a Responses.create(..., stream=True) response is still active. When that stream later reaches exhaustion or exits its context, _process_complete_response ends its span before checking _mark_response_emitted and ignores the False result. The same response ID can therefore produce a duplicate completion span. Check the shared helper before stream span emission, while retaining cleanup of completed entries and safely closing or discarding any skipped stream span.

…rst emission

Address remaining CodeRabbit review on traceloop#4482:
- make _mark_response_emitted thread-safe with a module lock
- check first-emission before ending the stream completion span so retrieve/parse cannot race a duplicate export
- keep completed-entry pop and in-progress retention unchanged

Pushed a follow-up for the remaining review notes on this PR:

  1. Thread-safe _mark_response_emitted - module-global threading.Lock now covers lookup, LRU update, insert, and eviction so two completed wrappers cannot both observe first-emission.
  2. Check before ending the stream span - ResponseStream._process_complete_response calls _mark_response_emitted before span.end(). When the helper returns False (another wrapper already emitted this response_id via retrieve/parse), the stream span is still closed but completion attributes are not re-exported; the completed entry is still popped from responses.

Offline contract tests: python packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/tests/offline_review_4482.py ? 3 passed.

Branch: fix/responses-completed-pop @ c4c3f68.
