Discussion: Type handling for OpenAI finish_reasons (Ref PR #8028) #8263

Hi, following up on closed PR #8028 regarding the OpenAI integration. @alexander-alderman-webb mentioned that using hasattr() isn't the right approach here.

Could you provide guidance on the correct way to handle these types within the integration?

Also, to clarify an unresolved point from @chrikrah on issue #7873: should gen_ai.response.finish_reasons be formatted as a list[str] or a JSON string?

Happy to submit a new PR once we agree on the approach!
