OpenAI's o1 series of models require that the "system" messages are passed with a role of "developer", rather than "system".
While the developer can pass their initial set of messages with the correct role, the messages generated by Instructor for things such as validation retries were always sent with a "system" role, and rejected by the API.
This PR introduces an additional option to the chat_completion function, allowing overriding the role used for these messages, specified as
:instructor_rolethat defaults to "system".
