Subject: [PATCH 01/22] feat: implement human-in-the-loop (HITL) approval
 infrastructure
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit adds the foundational components for human-in-the-loop
functionality in the Python OpenAI Agents SDK, matching the TypeScript
implementation.

**Completed Components:**

1. **Tool Approval Field** (tool.py)
   - Added `needs_approval` field to FunctionTool
   - Supports boolean or callable (dynamic approval)
   - Updated function_tool() decorator

2. **ToolApprovalItem Class** (items.py)
   - New item type for tool calls requiring approval
   - Added to RunItem union type

3. **Approval Tracking** (run_context.py)
   - Created ApprovalRecord class
   - Added approval infrastructure to RunContextWrapper
   - Methods: is_tool_approved(), approve_tool(), reject_tool()
   - Supports individual and permanent approvals/rejections

4. **RunState Class** (run_state.py) - NEW FILE
   - Complete serialization/deserialization support
   - approve() and reject() methods
   - get_interruptions() method
   - Agent map building for name resolution
   - 567 lines of serialization logic

5. **Interruptions Support** (result.py)
   - Added interruptions field to RunResultBase
   - Will contain ToolApprovalItem instances when paused

6. **NextStepInterruption** (run_state.py)
   - New step type for representing interruptions

**Remaining Work:**

1. Add NextStepInterruption to NextStep union in _run_impl.py
2. Implement tool approval checking in run execution
3. Update run methods to accept RunState
4. Add comprehensive tests
5. Update documentation

Subject: [PATCH 02/22] feat: integrate HITL approval checking into run
 execution loop
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit integrates the human-in-the-loop infrastructure into the
actual run execution flow, making tool approval functional.

**Changes:**

1. **NextStepInterruption Type** (_run_impl.py:205-210)
   - Added NextStepInterruption dataclass
   - Includes interruptions list (ToolApprovalItems)
   - Added to NextStep union type

2. **ProcessedResponse Enhancement** (_run_impl.py:167-192)
   - Added interruptions field
   - Added has_interruptions() method

3. **Tool Approval Checking** (_run_impl.py:773-848)
   - Check needs_approval before tool execution
   - Support dynamic approval functions
   - If approval needed:
     * Check approval status via context
     * If None: Create ToolApprovalItem, return for interruption
     * If False: Return rejection message
     * If True: Continue with execution

4. **Interruption Handling** (_run_impl.py:311-333)
   - After tool execution, check for ToolApprovalItems
   - If found, create NextStepInterruption and return immediately
   - Prevents execution of remaining tools when approval pending

**Flow:**

Tool Call → Check needs_approval → Check approval status →
  If None: Create interruption, pause run →
  User approves/rejects → Resume run →
  If approved: Execute tool
  If rejected: Return rejection message

**Remaining Work:**

- Update Runner.run() to accept RunState
- Handle interruptions in result creation
- Add tests
- Add documentation/examples

Subject: [PATCH 03/22] feat: add RunState parameter support to Runner.run()
 methods
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit integrates RunState into the Runner API, allowing runs to be
resumed from a saved state. This is the final piece needed to make
human-in-the-loop (HITL) tool approval fully functional.

**Changes:**

1. **Import NextStepInterruption** (run.py:21-32)
   - Added NextStepInterruption to imports from _run_impl
   - Added RunState import

2. **Updated Method Signatures** (run.py:285-444)
   - Runner.run(): Added `RunState[TContext]` to input union type
   - Runner.run_sync(): Added `RunState[TContext]` to input union type
   - Runner.run_streamed(): Added `RunState[TContext]` to input union type
   - AgentRunner.run(): Added `RunState[TContext]` to input union type
   - AgentRunner.run_sync(): Added `RunState[TContext]` to input union type
   - AgentRunner.run_streamed(): Added `RunState[TContext]` to input union type

3. **RunState Resumption Logic** (run.py:524-584)
   - Check if input is RunState instance
   - Extract state fields when resuming: current_turn, original_input,
     generated_items, model_responses, context_wrapper
   - Prime server conversation tracker from model_responses if resuming
   - Cast context_wrapper to correct type after extraction

4. **Interruption Handling** (run.py:689-726)
   - Added `interruptions=[]` to successful RunResult creation
   - Added elif branch for NextStepInterruption
   - Return RunResult with interruptions when tool approval needed
   - Set final_output to None for interrupted runs

5. **RunResultStreaming Support** (run.py:879-918)
   - Handle RunState input for streaming runs
   - Added `interruptions=[]` field to RunResultStreaming creation
   - Extract original_input from RunState for result

**How It Works:**

When resuming from RunState:
```python
run_state.approve(approval_item)

result = await Runner.run(agent, run_state)
```

When a tool needs approval:
1. Run pauses at tool execution
2. Returns RunResult with interruptions=[ToolApprovalItem(...)]
3. User can inspect interruptions and approve/reject
4. User resumes by passing RunResult back to Runner.run()

**Remaining Work:**
- Add `state` property to RunResult for creating RunState from results
- Add comprehensive tests
- Add documentation/examples

Subject: [PATCH 04/22] feat: add to_state() method to RunResult for resuming
 runs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit adds a method to convert a RunResult back into a RunState,
enabling the resume workflow for interrupted runs.

**Changes:**

1. **to_state() Method** (result.py:125-165)
   - Added method to RunResult class
   - Creates a new RunState from the result's data
   - Populates generated_items, model_responses, and guardrail results
   - Includes comprehensive docstring with usage example

**How to Use:**

```python
# Run agent until it needs approval
result = await Runner.run(agent, "Use the delete_file tool")

if result.interruptions:
    # Convert result to state
    state = result.to_state()

    # Approve the tool call
    state.approve(result.interruptions[0])

    # Resume the run
    result = await Runner.run(agent, state)
```

**Complete HITL Flow:**

1. Run agent with tool that needs_approval=True
2. Run pauses, returns RunResult with interruptions
3. User calls result.to_state() to get RunState
4. User calls state.approve() or state.reject()
5. User passes state back to Runner.run() to resume
6. Run continues from where it left off

**Remaining Work:**
- Add comprehensive tests
- Create example demonstrating HITL
- Add documentation

Subject: [PATCH 05/22] feat: add streaming HITL support and complete
 human-in-the-loop implementation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit completes the human-in-the-loop (HITL) implementation by adding
full streaming support, matching the TypeScript SDK functionality.

**Streaming HITL Support:**

1. **ToolApprovalItem Handling** (_run_impl.py:67, 1282-1284)
   - Added ToolApprovalItem to imports
   - Handle ToolApprovalItem in stream_step_items_to_queue
   - Prevents "Unexpected item type" errors during streaming

2. **NextStepInterruption in Streaming** (run.py:1222-1226)
   - Added NextStepInterruption case in streaming turn loop
   - Sets interruptions and completes stream when approval needed
   - Matches non-streaming interruption handling

3. **RunState Support in run_streamed** (run.py:890-905)
   - Added full RunState input handling
   - Restores context wrapper from RunState
   - Enables streaming resumption after approval

4. **Streaming Tool Execution** (run.py:1044-1101)
   - Added run_state parameter to _start_streaming
   - Execute approved tools when resuming from interruption
   - Created _execute_approved_tools instance method
   - Created _execute_approved_tools_static classmethod for streaming

5. **RunResultStreaming.to_state()** (result.py:401-451)
   - Added to_state() method to RunResultStreaming
   - Enables state serialization from streaming results
   - Includes current_turn for proper state restoration
   - Complete parity with non-streaming RunResult.to_state()

**RunState Enhancements:**

6. **Runtime Imports** (run_state.py:108, 238, 369, 461)
   - Added runtime imports for NextStepInterruption
   - Fixes NameError when serializing/deserializing interruptions
   - Keeps TYPE_CHECKING imports for type hints

7. **from_json() Method** (run_state.py:385-475)
   - Added from_json() static method for dict deserialization
   - Complements existing from_string() method
   - Matches TypeScript API: to_json() / from_json()

**Examples:**

8. **human_in_the_loop.py** (examples/agent_patterns/)
   - Complete non-streaming HITL example
   - Demonstrates state serialization to JSON file
   - Shows approve/reject workflow with while loop
   - Matches TypeScript non-streaming example behavior

9. **human_in_the_loop_stream.py** (examples/agent_patterns/)
   - Complete streaming HITL example
   - Uses Runner.run_streamed() for streaming output
   - Shows streaming with interruption handling
   - Updated docstring to reflect streaming support
   - Includes while loop for rejection handling
   - Matches TypeScript streaming example behavior

**Key Design Decisions:**

- Kept _start_streaming as @classmethod (existing pattern)
- Separate instance/classmethod for tool execution (additive only)
- No breaking changes to existing functionality
- Complete API parity with TypeScript SDK
- Rejection returns error message to LLM for retry
- While loops in examples handle rejection/retry flow

**Testing:**

- ✅ Streaming HITL: interruption, approval, resumption
- ✅ Non-streaming HITL: interruption, approval, resumption
- ✅ State serialization: to_json() / from_json()
- ✅ Tool rejection: message returned, retry possible
- ✅ Examples: both streaming and non-streaming work
- ✅ Code quality: ruff format, ruff check, mypy pass

Subject: [PATCH 06/22] fix: prime server conversation tracker in streaming
 path to prevent message duplication
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When resuming a streaming run from RunState, the server conversation tracker
was not being primed with previously sent model responses. This caused
`prepare_input` to treat all previously generated items as unsent and
resubmit them to the server, breaking conversation threading.

**Issue**: Missing `track_server_items` call in streaming resumption path

**Fix**: Added server conversation tracker priming logic in `_start_streaming`
method (lines 1076-1079) to match the non-streaming path implementation
(lines 553-556).

The fix iterates through `run_state._model_responses` and calls
`track_server_items(response)` to mark them as already sent to the server.

**Impact**: Resolves message duplication when resuming interrupted streaming
runs, ensuring proper conversation threading with server-side sessions.

Fixes code review feedback from PR #2021

Subject: [PATCH 10/22] fix: standardize call_id extraction in
 ServerConversationTracker

Updated the call_id extraction logic in the _ServerConversationTracker class to consistently use the "call_id" key from output items, removing the fallback to "callId". This change enhances code clarity and ensures uniformity in handling tool call items.
