## Title

    [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.'

## Body

    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.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-agents-js/fdaf0a66ca6e9d89498909ad7cf64745630e8afb/packages/agents-openai/src/openaiResponsesModel.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Source wraps no-event websocket closes with the feature-enablement message and marks reused-connection failures as unsafe to replay.

    Search phrasings: Responses websocket connection closed before any response events were received; openai agents responses websocket feature may not be enabled; websocket request may have been accepted will not automatically retry
