Description

It's not always, just sometimes but Resubmit last message doesnt' help. After several click GPT 5.5 I guess chooses different approach and the error disappers. I have no problem with Opus 4.6, so it might be model related.

here is error output:

Error handling model response

{"message":"Item 'msg_07ddda73bf133ab6006a2cfd8e30f481a3b33726a611ef9119' of type 'message' was provided without its required 'reasoning' item: 'rs_07ddda73bf133ab6006a2cfd8bb24881a3b60b5630fce8f932'.","type":"invalid_request_error","param":"input","code":null}

Research direction

Start from the reported model-response error and trace the GPT-5.5 request and response-handling path in the Continue codebase; the issue does not name a file, test, or reproduction. Compare the failing OpenAI interaction with the working Opus 4.6 case, and consider the issue addressed when the missing reasoning-item error is prevented or reliably handled.
