Summary
.image_urlinvalid_value400s intoInvalidImageRequestso existing invalid-image recovery can run for empty/invalid base64 image URL failures.data:image/*;base64,user images with model-visible text instead of emitting aninput_imageitem.Why
Empty base64 image URLs are a known low-level poisoned-thread shape. They are always invalid for the Responses API, and letting them through causes later turns or resumes to replay the same bad
image_urland fail before the model can recover.This keeps the scope intentionally narrow: it does not add a broad image validator, durable history patching, or all-image replacement semantics.
