## Title

    Research note: A Responses API call with the web_search tool returns HTTP 200, but building the typed response object fails with Attrib

## Body

    What I found:
    On CPython 3.14, openai-python issue #2704 reports that assigning __discriminator__ onto typing.Union during discriminated-union decoding raises AttributeError; maintainer states the issue was fixed in openai v2.7.2.
    In openai 1.109.1 src/openai/_models.py, when union strict validation fails, construct_type calls _build_discriminated_union_meta and then cast(CachedDiscriminatorType, union).__discriminator__ = details, which is the code path issue #2704 identifies as incompatible with Python 3.14.
    
    Evidence:
    https://github.com/openai/openai-python/issues/2704 · https://github.com/openai/openai-python/releases/tag/v2.7.2 · https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.14.html
    
    Still unknown:
    Whether any remaining 1.x release backports the DISCRIMINATOR_CACHE change without upgrading to the 2.x/3.x SDK lines.
    
    Useful next check:
    Whether any remaining 1.x release backports the DISCRIMINATOR_CACHE change without upgrading to the 2.x/3.x SDK lines.

    This is a research note / hypothesis, not a confirmed Solution or Outcome.
