When a Responses stream ends with response.incomplete, text present only in its final snapshot (or a suffix missing from earlier deltas) is lost in Chat and Anthropic output.

Reuse terminal snapshot reconciliation before emitting the token-limit stop and usage. Already streamed text remains deduplicated. Use the decoder's resolved event discriminator so both type and event preserve truncation stops, including tool output; completed-response stop reasons remain unchanged.

Validation:

• Snapshot regression fails on the unchanged base and passes for both output formats and snapshot-only, partial-delta, and full-delta inputs.
• Discriminator regression fails before the follow-up fix and passes for 16 combinations of output format, discriminator, completion state, and text/tool output.
• Translation crate: 263 passed. Rust workspace: 1222 passed, 1 ignored (requires the optional prefill handoff fixture).
• Workspace clippy and format checks passed.
• Public streaming API probes: all 4 original snapshot cases and all 8 discriminator/stop-reason controls passed on the updated source.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved handling of incomplete streamed responses so partial answers appear exactly once, even when earlier stream updates already included some or all of the text.
  • Incomplete responses now report the appropriate end reason and usage details for OpenAI Chat and Anthropic outputs.

Walkthrough

The Responses stream decoder now reconciles final output for both completed and incomplete events. New tests check that incomplete snapshots produce the full answer once for Chat and Anthropic targets, with the expected stop reasons and usage fields.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 47107

No merge-blocking risk is established for incomplete Responses snapshots; the change is mergeable after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 47107

The snapshot recovery preserves the intended behavior for standard events, but a supported event representation can now turn a token-limit stop into normal completion or tool-use completion. This can affect downstream tool dispatch. The demonstrated scope is one response stream; broader privilege or cross-tenant exposure was not established.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Incomplete-response identity is not preserved across the supported discriminator forms. The decoder accepts response.incomplete through the JSON event field, but the shared terminal branch checks only type. An event-only incomplete snapshot therefore emits normal completion, or tool_use when a tool call was decoded, rather than the base's max_tokens. This can make stop-reason-driven consumers treat a token-limited turn as complete or eligible for tool dispatch.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated change affects interpretation of provider-controlled output within one response stream and propagates to neutral aggregation, Chat, and Anthropic. Tool consequences depend on the downstream consumer and its existing permissions; no new executor, credential, or cross-tenant access path was demonstrated.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — An event-only incomplete payload containing a function or custom tool call reaches existing reconciliation, sets decoded_tool_call, and receives tool_use because the new reason check misses the alias. This changes the completion signal consumed by tool runners. Repository code also contains a MaxTokens-based incomplete-tool rejection, illustrating why preserving that signal matters. Execution of a particular tool was not demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — SSE parsing preserves the JSON payload without normalizing event into type. Both terminal detection and decoding accept the alias, so transport processing does not eliminate the discriminator mismatch. The existing native-output validator addresses unsupported output types, not terminal-state consistency.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Ordinary Responses SSE ingestion stops after the first terminal event. Encoding errors mark the stream finished and errored, suppressing subsequent output. Direct event translation lacks a universal successful-stop guard, and the encoders can accept later content; these unchanged limitations predate this PR and are not retained as separate introduced concerns.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

_{A rabbit watched the stream unfold,
Each answer came back whole, not old.
A partial line, a final view,
Joined once to make the answer true.
“Max tokens!” the bunny cheered,
Then nibbled carrots, untroubled, beared.}
