🤖 Remove OpenAI reasoning workarounds - use previousResponseId properly (#300)
## Summary
Removes all OpenAI-specific workarounds for reasoning + web_search bugs
by properly using `previousResponseId` for conversation state
management.
## Problem
The codebase had 266 lines of workarounds to handle OpenAI itemId
errors:
- `openaiReasoningMiddleware.ts` - filtered reasoning parts from
messages
- `openaiReasoningFetch.ts` - intercepted HTTP requests to strip itemIds
- Both files implemented complex logic to work around state management
issues
The original itemId errors occurred because we were **filtering
reasoning parts** while still sending `previousResponseId`, causing
OpenAI to reference missing items.
## Solution
**Use OpenAI's Responses API as designed**: Send `previousResponseId`
WITHOUT filtering anything. OpenAI manages reasoning state internally.
### Changes
- ✅ Enable `previousResponseId` in providerOptions (was disabled)
- ✅ Delete `openaiReasoningMiddleware.ts` (128 lines)
- ✅ Delete `openaiReasoningFetch.ts` (138 lines)
- ✅ Remove middleware wrappers from providerFactory and aiService
- ✅ **Keep reasoning parts in transformModelMessages** - OpenAI needs
them for `previousResponseId` to work
- ✅ Simplify OpenAI provider initialization
- ✅ Update tests to expect reasoning parts preserved
### Root Cause
The bug was **always fixable** with proper use of `previousResponseId`.
The fix works with both:
- Old SDK versions (ai@5.0.56, @ai-sdk/openai@2.0.40) ✅ tested
- New SDK versions (ai@5.0.72, @ai-sdk/openai@2.0.52) ✅ tested
The workarounds were unnecessary - we just needed to use the API
correctly.
### Key Insight (Credit: Codex)
Codex correctly identified that `transformModelMessages` was still
stripping reasoning parts, which would defeat the purpose of using
`previousResponseId`. The complete fix required:
- Enabling `previousResponseId` in provider options
- Keeping reasoning parts in messages sent to OpenAI
- Removing all workaround code
## Testing
```bash
TEST_INTEGRATION=1 bun x jest tests/ipcMain/openai-web-search.test.ts
```
- ✅ Test passes consistently in ~50-90 seconds
- ✅ No itemId errors
- ✅ Reasoning + web_search works correctly
- ✅ All type checks pass
- ✅ Tested with both old and new SDK versions
## Impact
- **-266 lines** of workaround code deleted
- **-59 lines** total net change
- **0 lines** of new complexity added
- Zero jank 🎉
