fix(gateway): preserve reasoning_content, codex_message_items, finish_reason on transcript replay (#22839)
PR #2974 whitelisted three reasoning fields (reasoning, reasoning_details,
codex_reasoning_items) for the gateway's simple-text replay branch. Three
more fields were added to the DB later but the whitelist was never updated:

  - reasoning_content: provider-facing thinking text. _copy_reasoning_content_for_api
    promotes 'reasoning' -> 'reasoning_content' at send time only when the
    strings happen to match. Carrying the original verbatim avoids loss
    for providers that return them as distinct fields (DeepSeek/Kimi/
    Moonshot thinking modes), and preserves the empty-string sentinel
    that DeepSeek V4 Pro requires for thinking-mode replay.
  - codex_message_items: exact assistant message items with 'phase'.
    OpenAI docs: 'preserve and resend phase on all assistant messages —
    dropping it can degrade performance.' Required for prefix cache hits.
    No recovery path exists — once dropped, gone.
  - finish_reason: informational; cheap to keep so transcripts replay
    identically across CLI and gateway.

The CLI is unaffected because cli.py keeps the live in-memory message list
across turns (cli.py:10046 'self.conversation_history = result["messages"]').
The gateway rebuilds agent_history from the SQLite transcript on every turn,
so any field stripped during replay is silently lost.

Refactors the inline whitelist into a module-level _build_replay_entry()
helper so the contract can be unit-tested. 16 new tests pin the field set
and falsy-value handling.

Verified end-to-end: DB stores all 8 fields, replay now preserves all 8
(was preserving only 5 for assistant text turns).

"""Tests for ``gateway.run._build_replay_entry``.
The gateway rebuilds ``agent_history`` from the persisted transcript on every
turn (unlike the CLI, which keeps the live in-memory message list). When a
pure-text assistant turn (no ``tool_calls``) is replayed, the simple-text
branch in ``run_sync`` used to whitelist only three reasoning fields:
``reasoning``, ``reasoning_details``, ``codex_reasoning_items``.
That whitelist predated three fields the DB now persists:
``reasoning_content``, ``codex_message_items``, and ``finish_reason``. The
unrecovered drop of ``codex_message_items`` in particular kills prefix-cache
hits for OpenAI Codex Responses API users — OpenAI's docs require the
``phase`` field be replayed on every assistant message.
These tests pin the expanded whitelist so it doesn't regress.
