CodeRabbit's review of #1326 flagged two correctness gaps and three doc nits in the Responses API tool-call capture: - A tool call was only recorded on response.output_item.done. A stream cut short before that event (e.g. client cancellation) silently lost the call entirely. Tracking now starts at response.output_item.added (call_id + name only) and output_item.done fills in the arguments — updating that placeholder in place rather than appending a second entry, so a call seen on both events is not double-counted and a call seen only on added still surfaces with empty arguments rather than vanishing. - An item whose own status is "incomplete" or "in_progress" has truncated arguments; both the streaming and non-streaming paths now exclude such items instead of recording cut-off data that would look complete. - Fixed a stale "three of the four response paths" ToolCalls doc comment, added a warning on InferenceToolCall.Arguments that it is not always JSON (Responses API's custom_tool_call is freeform text), and fixed "Content is never populated" to "never read". #1326 already merged, so this ships as a follow-up rather than an amendment. Verified live against real Codex traffic (exec tool call captured correctly, no duplication) in addition to the full core test suite with -race and go mod tidy -diff across all 12 modules.

Clarify what an empty ToolCalls slice means.
When a Responses API turn contains only an incomplete tool-call item, parseResponsesJSON excludes the call. ToolCalls is then empty even though the model requested a tool. The streaming path can produce the same result when response.output_item.done marks the call incomplete. Change this comment so consumers do not treat an empty slice as proof that no tool was requested.

Thanks for picking up #1326's threads. Most of them land cleanly: the cancelled-mid-call repro from that review now records the call and an observe row, the ToolCalls count is corrected, and the Content nit is fixed.
One blocking item: the incomplete/in_progress exclusion (plugin.go:322, responses.go:370) drops calls that main keeps, and on one frame shape it brings back skip/no_response_body. If the call is kept and only its arguments are dropped, that covers both CodeRabbit's point and #1326's. The other comments cover doc accuracy (the ToolCalls and Arguments contracts), a regression for events without a call_id, and six mutations the suite does not catch.
Checked at ff4cc44 against main 9f94daa, using throwaway tests at both heads and the mutations above. go vet, gofmt -l and -race tests for inferenceparser, opa, sparc, lineage and pipeline are clean.

must-fix: Excluding an incomplete/in_progress item drops a call the model started, which main keeps. That is the outcome this PR's first bullet fixes, back again on a different cut-off shape. It also inverts the rule the Anthropic dialect pins in this package: TestInferenceParser_AnthropicMessages_StreamToolUseOnlyIsNotASkip says "Arguments stay as the model left them — truncated, not discarded".
I ran the same throwaway frames through OnResponseFrame at main (9f94daa) and at this head:
| Frames | main | this PR |
|---|---|---|
added → done ("status":"incomplete") → response.incomplete with usage |
1 call, partial args, observe | no call, observe |
added → done ("status":"in_progress"), no terminal event |
1 call, partial args, observe | no call, skip/no_response_body |
added only (your StreamToolCallCancelledMidCall) |
no call, skip/no_response_body |
1 call, empty args, observe |
Row 2 is the shape the new test's comment calls "a cancelled turn's own partial snapshot":
`{"type":"response.output_item.added","output_index":0,"item":{"type":"custom_tool_call","call_id":"c1","name":"exec","input":"","status":"in_progress"}}`,
`{"type":"response.output_item.done","output_index":0,"item":{"type":"custom_tool_call","call_id":"c1","name":"exec","input":"const r = await","status":"in_progress"}}`,
// then OnResponseFrame(ctx, pctx, nil, true)There, the finalize guard at plugin.go:486-493 ("Tool calls count as a body") no longer sees the call, so the row is labelled as having no body. #1326's review asked to prevent exactly that outcome.
Suggested fix: keep the entry and drop only its arguments. That is, treat done with incomplete/in_progress like an added that never finished. CodeRabbit's point still holds (no truncated arguments recorded as if complete), and all three rows then give the same result: ID and name, empty Arguments. Blank rather than partial, because the cancelled placeholder has no partial arguments to offer (the input deltas are not modelled). The excluded flag goes away with it. parseResponsesJSON (responses.go:370) would append {ID, Name} instead of continue, and the two *IncompleteExcluded tests would assert one call with empty arguments.

suggestion: +1 to CodeRabbit's thread here. At this head, "empty means the model requested no tools everywhere except a streamed OpenAI Chat Completions turn" is false: a Responses turn whose only call is incomplete ends with an empty slice. The fix on plugin.go:322 makes the sentence true again.
The paragraph should still say what a cut-off call looks like, because that differs by dialect. On Responses it has an ID and name with empty Arguments (the stream ended before done). On Anthropic it keeps the partial fragment, on purpose. Today a consumer that spans dialects cannot tell either one from a complete call.
Two smaller things in the same paragraph:
- "both non-streaming dialects" is three now, since non-streaming Responses populates it too.
- "reads or assembles the call whole" no longer holds for a Responses stream that never reached
done.

suggestion: "opa and sparc both do today" is not accurate. Neither Go plugin calls json.Unmarshal on Arguments:
- opa copies it into
input.inference.tool_calls[i].argumentsas a plain string (opa/plugin.go:742-748). What would fail is a policy that callsjson.unmarshalon it in Rego. - sparc wraps it as a
"type":"function"call'sarguments(sparc/collect.go:71) and sends it to the reflector. The service's own parsing falls back onJSONDecodeError(deploy/sparc-service/sparc_service/api.py:47-54,engine.py:130-134). What receives non-JSON is the reflection that judges the call.
Suggest naming those two places, so a reader does not go looking for an unmarshal that isn't there.

suggestion: Keying on call_id merges calls whose events have no call_id. Two function_call items without one (added a, done a, added b, done b) give [a, b] on main but [b] here: the second added is a no-op, and the second done overwrites the first call.
The spec requires call_id, so only a gateway that leaves it out hits this. Still, main handled that case, and this function's doc says the guard is there for robustness. Cheapest fix: when callID == "", append without indexing, as main did. Keying on output_index would also work, since both events carry it, but responsesStreamEvent does not decode it yet.

suggestion: Each of these six mutations leaves the package suite green at this head:
- delete the duplicate-
addedguard (plugin.go:293-295) - drop
"function_call"from theoutput_item.addedcase (responses.go:514).done's fallback re-creates the call, soStreamFoldsFunctionCallstill passes. - delete that fallback (
plugin.go:316-321), so adonewith no matchingaddedis dropped - drop
|| status == "in_progress"infinishResponsesToolCall - drop
|| item.Status == "in_progress"inparseResponsesJSON - delete the
incompletecheck under the non-streamingcase "function_call"
2 and 3 each survive only because the other path still covers the call. Together, they would lose every streamed function_call. Three additions would kill all six: a done-only frame (no added), a duplicate added, and in_progress and function_call cases in the two exclusion tests. If the plugin.go:322 fix lands, 4-6 change shape, but the same cases still apply.

nit: responsesStreamEvent (outside this diff, so anchored here) still describes Item as "response.output_item.done's completed item" (line 418). Its doc lists the events this parser reads as "the repeated text delta, a completed tool-call item, and the terminal event's full response snapshot" (line 408). This case now reads Item off output_item.added too.
Found by comparing the suite against OpenCode's, which has all three: the codex equivalents were missing, so each of these code paths was written and reasoned about but never pinned. - enable's bridge-disabled refusal. codexWanted's OTHER refusal (a bridge with no ca_dir) deliberately gets no test: config.Validate rejects "tls_bridge.mode=enabled requires ca_dir", so it is unreachable through a config that loads, and the comment says so rather than leaving a reader looking for the case. - Declining at the prompt, for both verbs: exit 3 (not 1), nothing written, and for disable the record kept. - Usage errors: no args, -h/--help, help after the action, unknown action, status --yes, a stray argument. Each one was mutation-checked rather than trusted for passing — the critique of the #1331 suite was that six mutations left it green, so the same test applies here: neutralise the bridgeEnabled refusal -> RefusesADisabledBridge fails neutralise the !yes && !confirm guard -> both Declining subtests fail register --yes for status as well -> Usage/status_--yes fails The usage test also points HOME at a temp dir, so a case added later that reaches the dispatch cannot touch the real ~/.codex/.env.

Summary
Follow-up to #1326 (already merged, so this ships as its own PR), addressing 5 CodeRabbit review comments left on that PR:
response.output_item.done. If a stream is cut short before that event arrives (client cancellation, truncated turn), the call vanished fromToolCallsentirely. Tracking now starts atresponse.output_item.added(call_id + name, no arguments yet);output_item.donefills in the placeholder in place rather than appending a second entry — so a call seen on both events isn't double-counted, and a call seen only onaddedstill surfaces (with empty arguments) instead of disappearing.statusis"incomplete"or"in_progress"has cut-offinput/arguments.
