Code Review

This pull request introduces support for chat_template_kwargs and thinking_token_budget in the ResponsesRequest model, allowing these parameters to be passed through to the chat template renderer and sampling parameters. The implementation correctly updates the build_chat_params and to_sampling_params methods to utilize these new fields. Regarding the review feedback, the current implementation of merge_kwargs allows user-provided arguments to override internal logic; please document this behavior in the code or docstrings to clarify that this is an intentional design choice for the API.

Comment thread vllm/entrypoints/openai/responses/protocol.py
  Expose chat_template_kwargs and thinking_token_budget on ResponsesRequest so callers can control model-specific reasoning behavior through
  the Responses API. Pass chat_template_kwargs into chat param construction and forward thinking_token_budget into SamplingParams.

  Document that internally derived Responses controls take precedence over overlapping user-provided chat_template_kwargs, and add regression
  coverage for that precedence plus sampling-param propagation.
