fix(translation): decode flat Responses input_file payloads - #590
Conversation
WalkthroughThe translation codec now decodes flat OpenAI Responses ChangesOpenAI file translation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The change preserves flat inline file content that was previously dropped during translation, using the existing file representation and downstream path. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review. Poem

The Responses wire carries an `input_file` payload directly on the content block, while OpenAI Chat nests it under a `file` object. `decode_file_source` handled the nested shape for both `file_id` and `file_data`, but on the flat shape it read only `file_id` -- a flat `file_data` fell through to `FileSource::Raw`. That is not a cosmetic loss. Chat's raw file encoder maps only Anthropic `document` blocks and returns `None` for anything else, so the fallback drops the block: a Responses request carrying base64 file content loses the file entirely on the way to a Chat backend, silently and with no diagnostic. Read a direct `file_data`/`filename` pair as `FileSource::FileData`. A Chat block cannot reach that branch, having matched the nested one above, so the existing shapes decode unchanged. Scoped to the decode path only. The encoder side of Responses image and file content is fixed separately in NVIDIA-NeMo#530, which explicitly left this case out.

Tested this locally and through a live Responses-to-Chat request. The codec change is scoped correctly and the file survives as a Chat file part. LGTM.

What
decode_file_sourcenow reads aninput_filepayload carried directly on thecontent block, not only nested under a
fileobject.Why
The Responses wire puts
file_data/filenamedirectly on the block, whileOpenAI Chat nests them under
file. The nested shape decoded bothfile_idand
file_data, but the flat shape read onlyfile_id— so a flatfile_datafell through toFileSource::Raw.That is not a cosmetic loss. Chat's raw file encoder maps only Anthropic
documentblocks and returnsNonefor anything else, so the block is thendropped: a Responses request carrying base64 file content loses the file
entirely en route to a Chat backend, silently and with no diagnostic.
The new test fails on
mainwithand passes with this change.
Notes for reviewers
Decode path only: one branch in
decode_file_source, plus one test. A Chatblock cannot reach that branch, having matched the nested one above, so the
existing shapes decode unchanged.
Independent of #530, which fixes the Responses encoder for image and file
content and explicitly scoped this reverse-path case out. This applies to
mainas-is and does not touchresponses/buffered.rs, so the two do notconflict and neither blocks the other.
Split out at reviewer request from #566, which was closed as overlapping #530.
