Cause (Documented platform behavior): SDK wraps a close-before-first-event as a possible feature-enablement issue; when the request may already have been accepted on a reused socket, replay is considered unsafe (non-idempotent) and not retried.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Unknowns:
- Which accounts/models lack websocket enablement is not stated in the source.
Other error fragments:
- Responses websocket connection closed after sending a request on a reused connection before any response events were received. The request may have been accepted, so the SDK will not automatically retry this websocket request.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Model call over the Responses WebSocket transport fails with no events; on a reused connection the SDK refuses to auto-retry.
- Context
- Product: OpenAI Agents SDK (JavaScript/TypeScript) Component: @openai/agents-openai OpenAIResponsesModel websocket transport Operation: Runner with Responses WebSocket transport enabled Affected versions: observed in @openai/agents source at version 0.18.0; introduction version unknown Environment: unknown Exception: Error Packages: @openai/agents source at 0.18.0 (main fdaf0a6) Trigger: Opening a Responses WebSocket for an account/model where the feature is not available, or the socket drops after a request was sent on a reused connection.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [OpenAI Agents JS] Responses WebSocket transport: 'connection closed before any response events were received. The feature may not be enabled for this account or model yet.'
Recommended action: Fall back to the default HTTP Responses transport; confirm model/account support for the websocket mode; handle the reused-connection case with application-level idempotency before retrying.
Option: Switch to the HTTP Responses transport [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. Disable the Responses websocket transport option
2. Re-run
Expected: Requests use HTTP/SSE
