fix(openai): read list-shaped content parts instead of dropping the chunk - #150
Some OpenAI-compatible gateways serving a thinking model stream delta.content as a list of typed parts, not a string. Surplus does this with glm-5.3-flash. Frames captured live on 2026-11-11:
ChunkDeltaWire.content was Option<String>, so these chunks failed to deserialize. SseState::process_line drops a chunk that fails to deserialize (if let Ok(chunk) = ...) without any log. That loses the transition chunk, which carries the first visible words. About 1 reply in 3 lost its opening ("ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE" became " CHARLIE"). A structured answer that lost its first token was no longer valid JSON ({"reason dropped), so callers parsing JSON failed downstream. The non-streaming ResponseMessageWire.content had the same Option<String> shape, and there a list fails the whole call (invalid type: sequence, expected a string).
Fix
New wire type ResponseContentWire (untagged: Text(String) | Parts(Vec<Value>)), used for ChunkDeltaWire.content and ResponseMessageWire.content.
convert::split_response_content splits it into (visible text, reasoning):
text parts are visible text, concatenated in order.
thinking / reasoning parts go to the reasoning channel, never to visible text. They are read from thinking (a string or a list of {type:text,text}) or else text, and normalized with reasoning_value_text exactly like reasoning_content.
Unknown part types and non-object parts are skipped. Parts stay raw JSON, so one odd part cannot fail the chunk.
Streaming: within a chunk, side-channel reasoning, then list-content reasoning, then text, so blocks stay thinking → text.
Non-streaming: list-content reasoning follows side-channel reasoning; the inline <think> extraction still runs on the visible text.
A chunk that still fails to deserialize is still skipped, as before, but now raises tracing::warn! with provider, model, the serde error and the payload truncated to 512 chars.
API note: ChunkDeltaWire.content and ResponseMessageWire.content change type from Option<String> to Option<ResponseContentWire>. Both are publicly re-exported wire types. Nothing in tinyagents or openhuman reads them.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
OpenAI responses can now include structured content parts. Visible text is combined for display, while thinking and reasoning content is preserved separately.
Streaming responses support the same structured content and deliver reasoning before visible text.
Bug Fixes
Unreadable streaming chunks are skipped with a warning, allowing valid chunks before and after them to contribute to the response.
Adds tests for thinking models behind OpenAI-compatible gateways that stream delta content as typed parts, covering the transition chunk that carries the closing thought and the first visible words, thinking-only chunks, plain string content, and unknown part types. The transition case guards against a regression where that chunk failed to deserialize and was dropped, truncating the start of the answer.

OpenAI-compatible gateways serving thinking models can send message and delta content as a list of typed parts rather than a plain string, so content is now modelled as an untagged enum covering both shapes. Parts stay raw JSON so an unknown part is skipped on its own instead of failing the whole chunk.

Responses whose content arrives as a list of parts now have their thinking segments split out and appended to the reasoning side channel before inline tag extraction runs on the visible text. Previously those parts were dropped, so reasoning was lost for providers that return structured content.

Pull request purpose (title): fix(openai): read list-shaped content parts instead of dropping the chunk. Purpose (from the whole-pull-request title and description): fix(openai): read list-shaped content parts instead of dropping the chunk. Some OpenAI-compatible gateways serving a thinking model (Surplus with glm-5.3-flash) stream `delta.content` as a list of typed parts rather than a string. Because `ChunkDeltaWire.content` and `ResponseMessageWire.content` were `Option<String>`, those chunks failed to deserialize; the streaming path dropped them silently, losing the transition chunk that carries the first visible words, and the non-streaming path failed the entire call. The pull request adds a `ResponseContentWire` untagged enum used for both fields, splits list content into visible text and reasoning on both paths while preserving thinking-then-text ordering, and replaces the silent drop with a WARN carrying provider, model, and serde error plus a truncated payload preview, now logged at DEBUG rather than on the WARN line. No trusted push-delta comparison was available for the latest push.

What changed
`ResponseContentWire` (`Text(String)` | `Parts(Vec<Value>)`, untagged) becomes the type of `ChunkDeltaWire.content` and `ResponseMessageWire.content`, a public wire-type change. A new `split_response_content` maps text parts to concatenated visible text and `thinking`/`reasoning` parts to reasoning, skipping unknown or non-object parts individually. Streaming takes the delta content before `delta_reasoning_text` and emits side-channel reasoning, then content reasoning, then text so blocks stay thinking → text; non-streaming appends content reasoning after side-channel reasoning and still runs inline `think` extraction on the visible text. A chunk that still fails deserialization is skipped as before, but now emits a `tracing::warn!` with provider, model, and serde error, while the payload preview (UTF-8 safe, capped at 512 characters by `log_preview`) is logged separately at DEBUG so answer or reasoning text does not land on the WARN line.
Features
Added — ResponseContentWire string-or-parts wire type on both content fields: Both the streaming delta and the non-streaming message now accept either a plain string or a list of typed parts instead of failing deserialization; this is a public wire-type change from `Option<String>` to `Option<ResponseContentWire>`. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/types.rspub struct ChunkChoiceWire {, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/types.rspub struct ResponseMessageWire {, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/types.rspub struct ChoiceWire {)
Added — split_response_content separates visible text from reasoning parts: Text parts concatenate into visible text; `thinking`/`reasoning` parts route to the reasoning channel (read from `thinking` as a string or list, else `text`, normalized via `reasoning_value_text`); unknown and non-object parts are skipped individually so one odd part cannot fail the chunk. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/convert.rspub(super) fn reasoning_value_text(value: Value) -> Option<String> {)
Modified — Non-streaming parse_chat_response reads list content: List-content reasoning follows side-channel reasoning, and inline `think` extraction still runs on the visible text, so a list-shaped completion is read rather than failing the whole call. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/convert.rspub(super) fn parse_chat_response()
Modified — Streaming orders content reasoning before text: Within a chunk, side-channel reasoning then list-content reasoning then text are emitted, preserving thinking → text block order and retaining the answer opening that was previously dropped. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse.rsimpl SseState {, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse.rsimpl OpenAiStreamAcc {)
Modified — Unreadable SSE chunk warns without payload, preview at DEBUG: A chunk that still fails to deserialize is skipped as before but no longer silently: the WARN carries provider, model, and serde error, and the payload appears only at DEBUG, truncated to 512 characters, so truncation is visible without putting answer content on the WARN line. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse.rsimpl SseState {)
Tests
unit — Parsing a message whose content mixes a thinking part, text parts, and an unknown part yields the concatenated text and `side plan` reasoning with blocks `[Thinking, Text]`.: Added unit test for the unary list-content path; the tests lane answered with no defect worth reporting. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/mod_tests.rsfn parse_chat_response_without_config_leaves_inline_tags_in_text() {)
unit — A null `tool_calls` delta is read as no fragments and its string content is compared as `ResponseContentWire::Text`.: Updated for the new field type; the tests lane answered with no defect. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/mod_tests.rsfn a_null_tool_calls_delta_is_read_as_no_fragments() {)
integration — Streaming keeps the answer opening (`ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE`), routes ` user wants.` to reasoning, emits the reasoning delta before the text delta, and ends with `[Thinking, Text]` blocks.: Uses the exact captured frames for the reported bug; the tests lane answered with no defect. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse_tests.rsasync fn huge_tool_call_index_is_rejected() {)
unit — An unreadable chunk is skipped with the rest of the stream still arriving; the WARN line carries model and error but no payload, and the DEBUG line carries the payload truncated below 4000 characters.: Covers the warn-and-skip logging path; the tests lane answered with no defect. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse_tests.rsasync fn huge_tool_call_index_is_rejected() {)
integration — A non-streaming completion with list content returns the text parts as the answer and the thinking part as a thinking block.: HTTP round-trip test for the unary path; the tests lane answered with no defect. (crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/wire_tests.rsfn unsupported(parameter: &str) -> String {)
Positive: The critique lane answered with zero findings: it judged the ordering (side-channel reasoning, then content reasoning, then text) and the take-before-`delta_reasoning_text` sequencing correct and found no defect in the changed code.
Lane summary: The change routes list-shaped `delta.content` through `split_response_content` so thinking parts reach the reasoning channel and text parts the visible channel, and replaces the silent chunk-deserialization drop with a WARN plus a truncated DEBUG payload. The ordering (side-channel reasoning, then content reasoning, then text) and the `take()`-before-`delta_reasoning_text` sequencing look correct, and the new tests exercise the captured transition frame, thinking-only content, plain strings, unknown parts, and the log truncation. I found no defect in the changed code.

description
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Positive: The description lane answered that the description matches the diff, including the new wire type, the splitting helper, the streaming and non-streaming ordering, the WARN/DEBUG logging, and the public field type change, with no defect found.
Lane summary: The description matches the diff: it names the new `ResponseContentWire` type, `split_response_content`, the streaming and non-streaming ordering, the new WARN/DEBUG logging for skipped chunks, and the API change to two public wire fields, and the tests it lists are the ones present. I found no defect in the changed code.
The OpenAI provider now parses response content as either plain text or typed parts. It separates visible text from reasoning in non-streaming and streamed responses. Streamed chunk deserialization failures now produce bounded warning previews and remain skipped.

Summary
Content wire shape and response parsing crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/types.rs, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/convert.rs, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/mod_tests.rs, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/wire_tests.rs
Response content accepts plain text or a list of raw JSON parts. Non-streaming parsing concatenates text parts and extracts reasoning from thinking or reasoning parts. Tests cover visible text, reasoning, and ignored unknown parts.
Streamed content and chunk diagnostics crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse.rs, crates/tinyinference-llm/src/providers/openai/sse_tests.rs
Stream ingestion emits reasoning before visible text. Tests cover string and list content, thinking-only content, and mixed parts. Malformed chunks produce warnings with previews capped at 512 characters and remain skipped.
The change lets the OpenAI provider read list-shaped response content. Malformed streamed chunks now write a payload preview into default warning logs, which could expose model output in application logs. Moving that preview to a debug-level event before merge is a small, bounded fix.

Explanation
The title names the fix in the OpenAI provider: list-shaped content parts are now read instead of the chunk being dropped. The changeset matches this. It adds ResponseContentWire to accept string or list content, splits list parts into visible text and reasoning, and adds warnings for chunks that still fail deserialization. The title uses the conventional fix(openai): prefix and stays under 75 characters. It does not mention the reasoning split or the new warnings, but it covers the main change.

error fields on the WARN event, but remove the payload preview from that event.
Log the preview in a separate DEBUG event near the existing warning, using the
