Cause (Documented platform behavior): WebSocket transports are backed by optional gems that the openai gem does not depend on; the SDK raises a dependency message when they cannot be loaded.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Responses sessions require the async gem.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [OpenAI Ruby] 'Responses WebSockets require the async-websocket gem. Add it to your Gemfile.' on client.responses.connect
Recommended action: Add gem 'async-websocket' (which brings async) to the Gemfile and bundle install; run inside the bundle (bundle exec).
Option: Add the optional gem [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. echo "gem 'async-websocket'" >> Gemfile
2. bundle install
3. bundle exec ruby app.rb
Expected: connect block opens
