Explicit reasoning and reasoning_effort request fields were accepted but silently dropped before OpenAI-compatible provider calls. Forward them through Chat Completions, Responses and generative flow nodes, including streamed requests. Policy mutations can set the effort; native decision flow nodes keep independent contracts. Omitted controls retain provider defaults.

Pins merged engine commit d963280211092e149051d1b200f85a40bc946563 from genlayerlabs/unhardcoded-engine#34, which preserves these fields during provider-request construction. Its tree is identical to the engine revision validated with this implementation.

Validation: 51 focused Python tests passed; full implementation CI passed 1,061 Python tests (2 skips), 729 Lua assertions, and image build/boot checks. CI reruns on the submodule pin update. Coverage includes explicit false, omitted controls, both HTTP surfaces with/without streaming, adapter wire payloads, policy overrides, and separation from native decisions.

This is a parameter-forwarding fix, not a demonstrated fix for the production latency regression. No reasoning default, 40-second deadline or output limit is changed. No host merge or deployment performed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds optional reasoning controls to chat and responses requests. The controls pass through router contracts and flows to OpenAI-compatible providers. Tests cover direct requests, policies, streaming, non-streaming calls, and native decision isolation.

Changes

Reasoning control propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request contracts and translation
shim.py
ChatRequest and ResponsesRequest accept reasoning and reasoning_effort. Responses-to-chat translation and router contract conversion preserve non-null values.
Flow propagation and provider forwarding
llm_router_host.py, provider_adapters/openai_compatible.py, core
Flow node contracts carry the controls. OpenAI-compatible request bodies forward non-null controls. The core submodule reference changes to a new commit.
Control coverage and documentation
tests/test_reasoning_controls.py, README.md
Tests cover request conversion, provider modes, HTTP endpoints, policy updates, and native decision isolation. The README documents supported controls and provider boundaries.

The required engine dependency has not reached engine main, and the streaming test can pass even though streaming fails. Merge the engine change, refresh the pin, and correct the test before merging.

Use an async emitter and assert stream success.

stream_openai_compatible awaits emit. The synchronous lambda returns None, so the first content delta raises TypeError. The adapter converts this to a network_error, but the test ignores the result and checks only the request body.

Proposed fix
+    async def emit(_: str) -> None:
+        return None
-    await stream_openai_compatible({**OPENAI_REQ, **controls}, lambda _: None, client=client)
+    result = await stream_openai_compatible({**OPENAI_REQ, **controls}, emit, client=client)
+    assert result["ok"]
