Route GPT-5.6 reasoning effort through Kiro's native reasoning.effort field instead of the legacy Claude output_config.effort path. GPT-5.6 models now emit reasoning.effort for low/medium/high/xhigh, with max mapped to the xhigh wire value.
Preserve the Responses API reasoning.effort through the OpenAI intermediate by copying it to reasoning_effort before the field is dropped. Skip legacy thinking_mode prompt tags when a supported native GPT effort is emitted, while keeping the legacy fallback for unsupported values (auto/minimal/ultra) and explicit disable semantics (none/off/disabled). Claude adaptive effort continues to use thinking plus output_config.effort.
Reshape Kiro direct requests so resumed client sessions reuse Kiro's
cache-affinity fields instead of starting unrelated CodeWhisperer
conversations.
- keep conversationState.conversationId stable when the client sends an
explicit session id (x-session-id, session_id, conversation_id, Claude
Code session metadata)
- add a stable conversationState.agentContinuationId per Kiro session
- send conversationState.agentTaskType: "vibe" and agentMode: "vibe",
matching the normal Kiro CLI/KAS chat path
- move Kiro thinking instructions into Kiro-compatible systemPrompt /
additionalModelRequestFields instead of generic top-level thinking
- keep volatile timestamp context out of the top-level systemPrompt; it
remains only in user content fallback
- suppress additionalModelRequestFields for legacy 4.5-era Claude/Kiro
models that reject it, while defaulting future Claude/Kiro model ids
to supported
- preserve Kiro meteringEvent credit usage internally for accounting
without leaking provider-specific fields into OpenAI-compatible usage
- prevent unrelated headerless Kiro requests from sharing one
connection-wide continuation
- cap/evict continuation sessions so long-running processes do not grow
the continuation map unbounded
- treat generated headerless Kiro sessions as one-shot so they do not
evict real explicit-session continuations
- keep credit-only Kiro metering valid for internal persistence when
token metrics are unavailable
Resolve the Kiro thinking budget from client intent (OpenAI reasoning_effort,
OpenAI Responses reasoning.effort, Claude output_config.effort, and Claude
thinking.budget_tokens) by reusing the shared thinkingUnified extractThinking
parser, then inject the resolved budget into the Kiro thinking system prefix.
Explicit none/off/disabled stops the prefix injection; synthetic -thinking
aliases keep the default budget.
