TL;DR

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

Files to review (+449 / -24):

File Why
internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go (start here) Native Responses/StreamResponses overrides plus request adaptation.
internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go Unit tests: adaptation/rejection rules and native round-trips.
internal/core/responses.go, internal/core/types.go Preserve completed_at, store, and input_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens from upstream Responses payloads.
internal/core/responses_json_test.go, internal/core/usage_json_test.go Decode/marshal round-trip coverage for the new fields.
docs/providers/kimicode.mdx Documents the native Responses path and its caveats.

Research

  • Official Kimi Code docs list Codex as a supported third-party tool; Codex uses the OpenAI Responses API: https://www.kimi.com/code/docs/en/third-party-tools/codex
  • Kimi platform docs list OpenAI Responses (/responses) as a supported protocol: https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/api/overview
  • Live upstream probe (2026-09-08): non-streaming returns a complete response object with reasoning and usage; streaming returns standard Responses SSE events; store: true returns 400; previous_response_id returns 400.
  • A https://api.kimi.ai/coding/v1 mirror answers with identical data. It is undocumented, and the official docs still list api.kimi.com/coding/v1. The base URL stays unchanged.

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 conversation context the caller expects. Both would otherwise fail upstream with a 400.
  • Native response fields are preserved. completed_at, store, and usage.input_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens now survive decoding into core.ResponsesResponse/core.ResponsesUsage and marshal back out.
  • 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.

Tests

  • go build ./... and go test ./... are green (run after make frontend for the dashboard-asset tests).
  • New tests cover: request adaptation (store pin, no caller mutation), rejection of previous_response_id on both Responses and StreamResponses (asserting zero upstream calls), a non-streaming native round-trip against a recorded upstream shape (including completed_at, store, and cache-token assertions), streaming passthrough including the [DONE] marker appended by providers.EnsureResponsesDone, and SetBaseURL overriding both adapters.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Kimi Code now forwards Responses API requests through a native upstream adapter. Requests with store: true are changed to store: false, and requests with previous_response_id are rejected. Response and usage data types include additional JSON fields.

Changes

Native Responses forwarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Response and usage data fields
internal/core/responses.go, internal/core/responses_json_test.go, internal/core/types.go, internal/core/usage_json_test.go, cmd/gomodel/docs/docs.go, docs/openapi.json
ResponsesResponse adds completed_at and store fields. Prompt token details adds cache_write_tokens. JSON tests and API schemas cover these fields.
Configure both provider adapters
internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go, internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go
The provider constructs chat and Responses adapters from shared configuration. SetBaseURL updates both endpoints, and a test checks the configured Responses endpoint.
Adapt and forward Responses requests
internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode.go, internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go, docs/providers/kimicode.mdx
Responses methods forward requests through the native adapter. The provider rejects requests with previous_response_id and changes store: true to store: false. Tests cover non-streaming and streaming requests, and the documentation describes the forwarding behavior.

P2 Regenerate OpenAPI schemas

This adds cache_write_tokens to the public usage model, but the checked-in schemas in docs/openapi.json and cmd/gomodel/docs/docs.go still omit it. Generated clients and API consumers therefore cannot discover or model a value that runtime Responses payloads now expose. This is non-blocking, but the generated API documentation should be refreshed.

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Artifacts

Evidence from the check

  • Python checker authored for this validation; it parses the checked-in JSON schema and inspects the generated Go schema definition, showing whether cache_write_tokens is publicly exposed.

Command output from the check

  • Captured output of the executed checker from /home/user/repo with exit code 0; it confirms the source field exists while both public schemas omit it.

Expose cache-write tokens at the Responses usage wire path.

core.PromptTokensDetails adds cache_write_tokens, but core.ResponsesUsage uses prompt_tokens_details. The usage test expects the field at input_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens, so the generated Responses schema does not match the required wire path. Correct the Responses usage schema without changing the chat usage path, then regenerate the schemas. Apply the same correction to docs/openapi.json.

@coderabbitai Plan for this finding — WDYT?

  1. Flip the ResponsesUsage struct tags in internal/core/responses.go to the Responses wire keys: input_tokens_details / output_tokens_details. The wire format is already correct via the custom MarshalJSON/UnmarshalJSON in usage_json.go — only the swag-generated schema reads the struct tags, so this aligns schema with wire without touching runtime behavior.
  2. make swagger regenerates cmd/gomodel/docs/docs.go + docs/openapi.json.
  3. Chat usage path unchanged: core.Usage keeps prompt_tokens_details/completion_tokens_details. One caveat: core.PromptTokensDetails is a shared type, so cache_write_tokens will also appear as an available property in the chat usage schema — unavoidable without splitting types; chat wire output is unchanged. Splitting the type seems disproportionate here.

Locally verified so far: full unit suite with -tags=contract (CI mirror) + e2e suite green.

@weselben, your plan addresses the finding. ResponsesUsage.MarshalJSON already emits input_tokens_details and output_tokens_details. Changing only the ResponsesUsage struct tags should align the generated schema with that wire format without changing runtime output.

Keep core.Usage as-is. I agree that splitting core.PromptTokensDetails is unnecessary for this fix. After make swagger, check that both generated files show input_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens for Responses usage and retain the chat usage keys. Your reported test results cover runtime behavior; the generated schema still needs that check.

Thanks for the clarification.

Timestamp: 2026-09-23T19:14:37.434Z
Learning: In GoModel, `internal/core/usage_json.go` defines custom JSON marshaling for `core.ResponsesUsage` that emits `input_tokens_details` and `output_tokens_details`, independently of the struct tags in `internal/core/responses.go`. Swag uses those struct tags to generate the Responses usage schema. Chat `core.Usage` in `internal/core/types.go` retains `prompt_tokens_details` and `completion_tokens_details`; both usage types share `core.PromptTokensDetails`.

P2 Use provider test servers

The new Kimi Code provider tests create upstreams directly with httptest.NewServer, including the native Responses, streaming, continuation-rejection, and base-URL cases. This violates the repository directive requiring provider tests to use providertest.JSONServer, SSEServer, or RouteServer and inspect their captures. The repository requirement must be satisfied before merging.
