fix(translation): preserve chat reasoning details

[pst2154]

What changed

• preserve bare assistant reasoning when translating Responses history to Chat Completions
• retain and replay structured reasoning_details in buffered Chat requests and responses
• carry structured reasoning details through the provider-neutral streaming representation
• add regression coverage for tool-call history and buffered/streamed round trips

Why

The Chat request encoder removed every normalized reasoning block before sending conversation history upstream. The Chat decoder also ignored reasoning_details, so structured or encrypted reasoning could not survive a subsequent turn. This particularly hurt reasoning models served through an openai_chat backend while the same workloads behaved correctly through openai_responses.

Impact

Reasoning-capable Chat backends now receive their previous-turn reasoning context. Plaintext reasoning uses the compatible message.reasoning field, while structured details retain their original order and JSON shape.

Validation

• cargo clippy -p switchyard-protocol -p switchyard-translation --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo test -p switchyard-protocol -p switchyard-translation
• uv run ruff check .
• uv run pytest tests/ -q (139 passed)
• live two-turn GLM-5.2 check through a Responses endpoint backed by OpenRouter Chat Completions

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Preserved structured reasoning details across responses, streamed content, and format translations.
  • Added support for importing and exporting OpenAI reasoning details, including encrypted reasoning and signatures.
  • Added compatibility with Anthropic and Responses streaming formats, with readable reasoning text when available.
  • Retained legacy reasoning text as a fallback when structured details are unavailable.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for reasoning detail preservation, streaming, translation, and fallback behavior.

Walkthrough

The protocol now carries structured reasoning details through aggregation and streaming. OpenAI Chat, Anthropic, and Responses codecs translate these details for buffered and streamed formats. Tests and fixtures cover preservation, fallback text, encryption, tool calls, and empty details.

Changes

Structured reasoning preservation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Protocol reasoning details crates/protocol/src/llm.rs, crates/protocol/src/stream.rs	ContentBlock::Reasoning stores structured details. Streaming chunks and response accumulation preserve detail order and emit reasoning blocks when details exist.
Buffered codec translation crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/common.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/openai_chat/buffered.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/anthropic/buffered.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/responses/buffered.rs	Buffered codecs preserve reasoning_details, derive display text, support legacy fallback fields, and accept expanded reasoning blocks.
Streaming codec translation crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/openai_chat/stream.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/anthropic/stream.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/responses/stream.rs	Streaming codecs encode and decode ReasoningDetailsDelta values for each supported wire format.
Translation and fixture validation crates/switchyard-translation/tests/*, crates/libsy-llm-client/tests/observability.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/*	Tests cover structured reasoning preservation, fallback behavior, encrypted details, tool calls, and streaming. Existing fixtures initialize empty details.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7933e

The change can still drop fallback reasoning when structured details are encrypted-only and can omit reasoning when a detail has an empty text field but a usable summary, causing prior-turn context or streamed reasoning output to disappear; the PR is not merge-ready until these cases are handled.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with details tucked tight,
Structured thoughts hop through the night.
Streams carry each clue,
Old text still comes through,
And empty fields rest out of sight.

In `@crates/protocol/src/stream.rs`:
- Around line 196-207: Retain fallback reasoning text alongside structured
details so encrypted-only details cannot discard it. In
crates/protocol/src/stream.rs#L196-L207, `#L282-L288`, and `#L377-L379`, extend the
reasoning chunk/aggregation representation and accumulation; update
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/openai_chat/stream.rs#L108-L127 to
preserve non-empty reasoning_content or reasoning, and update
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/anthropic/stream.rs#L196-L207 and
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/responses/stream.rs#L174-L178 to emit
the retained fallback when detail extraction returns none. Add a round-trip test
covering encrypted-only details plus non-empty fallback text and assert both
values survive.

In `@crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/common.rs`:
- Around line 44-58: Update reasoning_text_from_details so it falls back to the
detail’s summary when text is missing, non-string, or empty, rather than
stopping after an unusable text value. Preserve filtering of unusable values and
the existing newline-joined result behavior.
