Batch {} completed but has no output file

Error message

Batch {} completed but has no output file

What it means

import_batches confirmed a batch reached 'completed' status, but its record has no output_file_id; without the output file reference the results cannot be downloaded, which indicates an inconsistent batch record on OpenAI's side.
