feat(providers/kimicode): add native Responses API support

[weselben]

TL;DR

The kimicode provider translated Responses API requests through chat completions, losing reasoning and usage shape. Kimi Code serves the OpenAI Responses API natively at /responses. This PR forwards /v1/responses natively instead.

Re-implementation of ENTERPILOT#916 on current main, applying its review outcome.

File	Why
internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go (start here)	Native Responses/StreamResponses overrides plus request adaptation.
internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go	Contract test (NativeResponses) + providertest-based unit tests.
docs/providers/kimicode.mdx	Documents the native Responses path and its caveats.

Reviewer notes

• store is adapted, previous_response_id is rejected. The upstream retains no responses, so store: true is rewritten to false (Postel's law), while a non-empty previous_response_id is rejected with an invalid-request error before any upstream call — answering statelessly would silently drop the caller's conversation context. Both would otherwise fail upstream with a 400 (verified by live probe 2026-09-08).
• Two adapter instances. The provider embeds openai.ChatCompatible for chat, models, embeddings, and passthrough, and holds an openai.CompatibleProvider for the native Responses transport. SetBaseURL updates both.
• Bearer headers are set explicitly. NewCompatibleProvider applies no SetHeaders default, unlike NewChatCompatible.
• Deliberately out of scope (from feat(providers/kimicode): add native Responses API support ENTERPILOT/GoModel#916 review): no changes to shared internal/core response/usage types. Responses usage intentionally stays a closed object on the wire; provider extras are retained in RawUsage for usage records and cost.

Tests

• Unit tests use providertest servers (JSONServer/SSEServer) and the shared TestChatCompatibleContract with NativeResponses: true.
• Cover: adaptation rules (store pin, no caller mutation), continuation rejection on both endpoints (asserting zero upstream calls), native non-streaming and streaming round-trips, SetBaseURL.
• kimicode.go statement coverage: 100%.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Kimi Code now forwards Responses API requests to the upstream /responses endpoint. It adapts store: true requests and rejects requests with a conversation reference or previous response ID. Tests and provider documentation cover the updated behavior.

Changes

Kimi Code Responses API

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure provider adapters internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go, internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go	The provider creates chat-compatible and Responses adapters from shared configuration and allows both base URLs to be changed. Tests cover the provider contract and base URL behavior.
Validate and adapt Responses requests internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go, internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go, docs/providers/kimicode.mdx	The provider rejects requests with a conversation reference or previous response ID. It changes store: true to store: false on a copy. Tests and documentation describe these rules.
Forward native Responses requests internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go, internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go, docs/providers/kimicode.mdx	The provider forwards streaming and non-streaming requests to /responses. Tests cover request bodies, response decoding, and stream termination. The documentation describes native forwarding and notes that files and batches are unsupported.

Summary

The PR adds native Kimi Code Responses API support while preserving the existing shared adapter for other endpoints.

• Routes non-streaming and streaming Responses requests directly to /responses.
• Rewrites store: true to store: false without mutating the caller’s request.
• Rejects unsupported response chaining before contacting the upstream service.
• Keeps both internal adapters synchronized when the base URL changes.
• Adds contract, request-adaptation, endpoint, authentication, streaming, and error-path tests.
• Documents Kimi Code’s stateless Responses behavior.

@greptile review

[weselben]

@greptile review — final pass requested, with context from the closed upstream PR (ENTERPILOT#916) this draft supersedes.

Findings from the upstream review and how this PR covers them

1. P1 — Silent continuation downgrade (upstream Greptile, blocking): adaptResponsesRequest previously cleared previous_response_id silently, so continuations got stateless 200s. Here: rejectPreviousResponseID rejects any non-empty ID (incl. whitespace-only, regression-tested) with an invalid-request error BEFORE any upstream call, on both Responses and StreamResponses; tests assert zero upstream requests.
2. Major — dropped response fields completed_at/store/cache_write_tokens (upstream CodeRabbit): deliberately NOT implemented here. Responses usage is a closed wire object by design (ResponsesUsage.MarshalJSON); the field add on the shared PromptTokensDetails type changed generated OpenAPI schemas for both chat and responses paths and invalidated recorded contract goldens for unrelated providers. No gateway consumer reads these fields (Kimi Code has no per-token pricing; usage cost is always zero for this provider).
3. Codecov — uncovered patch lines: all kimicode.go functions now at 100% statement coverage, including SetBaseURL and both adapt/reject branches.
4. P2 — raw httptest servers in tests (your earlier finding): all provider tests now use providertest.JSONServer/SSEServer with capture assertions, plus the shared TestChatCompatibleContract with NativeResponses: true.
5. Main-branch drift: implemented on current main (ProviderOptions HTTP-client injection; no WithHTTPClient constructors).

WDYT

@greptile WDYT — does this cover every concern from the upstream review to your satisfaction? Specifically:

• Is the wont-fix on finding 2 acceptable given the closed-usage-object design and zero consumers, or do you consider client-visible completed_at/store part of the Responses contract that MUST be surfaced?
• Anything in the rejection/adaptation split (reject ID, pin store) you would still change before this goes upstream as a non-draft?

[greptile-apps]

The rejection/adaptation split looks correct, and I have no additional blocking finding:

• previous_response_id is rejected before delegation on both native endpoints, including whitespace-only values, so requests cannot be silently downgraded to stateless completions.
• store: true is copied and pinned to false without mutating the caller’s request; store: false and an omitted value remain unchanged.
• Both adapters receive the same base URL, and SetBaseURL updates both. The explicit Bearer hook also correctly covers the NewCompatibleProvider default difference.

I consider the closed-usage-object decision acceptable for this PR as a documented, bounded compatibility gap rather than a merge blocker: Kimi has no configured per-token pricing or current gateway consumer for those fields, and changing the shared types would have the broader schema/golden impact described.

This is not fully lossless Responses passthrough: completed_at/store on the response and nested fields such as usage.input_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens are not exposed to clients. The fixture demonstrates those fields but does not assert their preservation. If GoModel intends to promise the complete native Responses response contract, those fields need a follow-up shared-type change; under the explicitly stated scope, I would approve this PR.
