## Title

    [openai-java] Responses streaming aborts with OpenAIInvalidDataException 'Unknown ResponseStreamEvent type=keepalive' on long requests (fixed 4.44.0)

## Body

    Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Released-fix commit: validate() treated keepalive as unknown event type; new validateForStream() lets keepalive pass.
    
    Fix status: released_fix (fixed in 4.44.0)
    
    Limitations:
    - Verbatim text is 'Unknown ResponseStreamEvent'; a 'type=keepalive' suffix was not found in sources.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-java/main/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, 2026-07-17, released_fix): 4.44.0: client: handle response stream keepalive events (#776); 4.45.0: core: ignore metadata-only SSE blocks (#805).
    - https://github.com/openai/openai-java/commit/6eef965 (release_notes, 2026-07-17, maintainer_confirmed_cause): Before: OpenAIInvalidDataException 'Unknown ResponseStreamEvent type=keepalive' terminated streams; after: keepalive passes validateForStream().
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-java/main/openai-java-core/src/main/kotlin/com/openai/models/responses/ResponseStreamEvent.kt (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): ResponseStreamEvent.kt raises OpenAIInvalidDataException with 'Unknown ResponseStreamEvent' for unrecognized event types.
    
    Search phrasings: openai java Unknown ResponseStreamEvent type=keepalive; openai-java streaming OpenAIInvalidDataException; responses stream keepalive java
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
