Description

This PR fixes a critical bug where the assistant's message text gets truncated in the UI when an LLM provider streams both reasoning_content (or thinking tags) and final content simultaneously in the exact same delta chunk.

Key implementation details:

  • Modified the for await (const chunk of stream) logic across all OpenAI-compatible providers (lite-llm, qwen-code, mimo, nanogpt, requesty, kenari, unbound, lm-studio, opencode-go, openai, deepseek, and the base-openai-compatible-provider).
  • Reordered the yield sequence so that extractReasoningFromDelta(delta) is always yielded and processed before delta.content.
  • This ensures the UI accurately renders the complete reasoning process before starting the text rendering, which resolves the internal task truncation issue.

Test Procedure

  • Unit Tests added: Added explicit edge-case tests in lite-llm.spec.ts, openai.spec.ts, and base-openai-compatible-provider.spec.ts.
    • These tests mock an asyncStreamFrom where reasoning_content and content are tightly packed in the exact same delta object.
    • Asserted strictly that expect(contentChunks) yields the reasoning object before the text object.
  • Run tests: pnpm test (Verified that all 7,935 tests pass with 100% success rate across the repository).

This prevents the content truncation bug in Task.ts when reasoning and content are delivered in the same streaming chunk.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved streaming output so reasoning content consistently appears before corresponding text content.
    • Applied consistent ordering across supported AI providers, including cases where both appear in the same response update.
    • Preserved reasoning content more reliably in streamed responses.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage to verify reasoning-before-text ordering across supported providers.

Walkthrough

Provider streaming handlers now emit reasoning chunks before text chunks when both appear in the same delta. Qwen Code uses direct reasoning extraction instead of inline thinking-tag parsing. Tests cover this ordering across compatible providers.

Changes

Streaming output ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider reasoning ordering
src/api/providers/base-openai-compatible-provider.ts, src/api/providers/{deepseek,kenari,lite-llm,lm-studio,mimo,nanogpt,openai,opencode-go,requesty,unbound}.ts
Provider streaming loops yield reasoning chunks before text chunks. LM Studio also counts reasoning tokens with visible output.
Qwen reasoning extraction
src/api/providers/qwen-code.ts
Qwen Code extracts reasoning directly from each delta and removes the previous inline </think> parsing path.
Same-delta ordering tests
src/api/providers/__tests__/{base-openai-compatible-provider,lite-llm,nanogpt,openai}.spec.ts
Tests verify reasoning output precedes text output when both fields occur in one streamed delta.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 89678

One streaming path can still omit reasoning when reasoning and text arrive together, leaving users with incomplete displayed reasoning. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Explanation

The changes directly satisfy issue [#1461] by yielding reasoning chunks before content chunks when both occur in one streaming delta. Regression tests cover this ordering across the affected providers.

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 16 files.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The changed behavior is the strict ordering of reasoning before text when both fields occur in one delta. Focused tests cover the base provider, OpenAI, LiteLLM, and NanoGPT. The other changed loops lack this coverage. For example, deepseek.spec.ts, lmstudio.spec.ts, mimo.spec.ts, qwen-code-native-tools.spec.ts, requesty.spec.ts, and unbound.spec.ts put reasoning and content in separate deltas and only assert presence. kenari.spec.ts:99-100 and opencode-go.spec.ts:142-143 use one combined delta, but their toContainEqual assertions do not check order. The old text-first behavior would pass these tests. No Playwright snapshot is required because the patch changes provider stream handling and does not change a UI component.

Resolution

Add focused unit coverage for the simultaneous-delta ordering in each untested concrete handler: DeepSeekHandler, KenariHandler, LmStudioHandler, MimoHandler, OpencodeGoHandler, QwenCodeHandler, RequestyHandler, and UnboundHandler. Feed one stream delta containing both reasoning_content (or the supported reasoning field) and content, then assert the filtered stream sequence is exactly reasoning followed by text. Keep the assertions at the provider unit-test layer; include LM Studio matcher output and Qwen content handling in their respective tests.

Preserve reasoning in the O1/O3/O4 streaming path.

When an O1/O3/O4 delta contains reasoning_content or reasoning with content, handleStreamResponse emits only delta.content and drops the reasoning. Call extractReasoningFromDelta(delta) and emit reasoning before text. Add an o3-mini same-delta regression test.
