fix(ai): stop appending fallback text after any provider emits a partial stream - #770
Merged

Conversation
…ial stream The partial-then-fail guard in streamText's fallback loop only covered Grok (createGrokAttemptCallbacks/grokEmitted), so a non-Grok primary that streamed visible text and then failed mid-response could have a second, full fallback answer appended after it. Replace the Grok-specific mechanism with a generic per-attempt emitted tracker applied to every provider in the fallback chain and to the OpenRouter-promoted-fallback attempt, so any provider that has already emitted output terminates on failure instead of falling through. Also fixes a vacuous regression test whose fallbackProviders config never actually reached Gemini (that option is only honored for local primaries), so it passed regardless of the guard's correctness.

Reviewer's GuideThe PR replaces Grok-only partial-output tracking with a generic per-attempt guard across the fallback chain and OpenRouter-promoted fallback path, using extracted helpers to preserve cancellation, fallback, heuristic, and error semantics. It adds targeted regressions for all key paths, fixes a vacuous existing test, and updates README test-count metrics. Sequence diagram for provider partial-stream fallback guardsequenceDiagram

…-chain walk CodeScene flagged streamText's cyclomatic complexity rising from 29 to 31 after the partial-then-fail guard became provider-generic. Extract the entire fallback-chain walk (the outcome-branching loop, OpenRouter-promotion handling, and terminal heuristic-or-throw path) into runProviderFallbackChain, and the heuristic-delivery closure into a standalone tryHeuristicStream, so streamText itself is left doing only what a coordinator should: build the guarded callbacks, resolve the merged request, and delegate. No behavioral change — attemptChainProvider and attemptPromotedOpenRouterFallback are unchanged, and the emitted-output guard remains load-bearing (verified by temporarily bypassing it and confirming the #714 regression tests fail).

…observable cubic-dev-ai correctly flagged that the promoted-fallback partial-then-fail test passed even without the production guard: with no provider configured after the promoted gemini attempt, i was already the last chain index, so the same tryHeuristicStream/onError+throw path ran whether or not the guard fired -- the test only documented behavior without proving the guard. Add a third chain entry (ollama, left unconfigured) that a bypassed guard would fall through and invoke, and assert it's never called. Verified by temporarily bypassing the guard again: the call now silently resolves with ollama's fallback text appended after gemini's partial response instead of rejecting -- confirming the guard is what prevents that corruption.

…ck walk CodeRabbit correctly noted that the i === chain.length - 1 branch inside runProviderFallbackChain's loop only runs on the loop's final iteration, where the loop would exit naturally into the identical post-loop heuristic/onError/ throw handling anyway. Removing it preserves behavior exactly while cutting one more branch from the hotspot.

CodeScene flagged a new "Bumpy Road Ahead" in submitReview -- the if/else-if pair plus the nested if(updates.length)/if(skipped) blocks inside the editing-stage branch. Extract the whole identity-guarded edit-application flow into applyAcceptedEditsIfAuthorized, using guard clauses (early return) instead of nested if/else, mirroring the same flattening already applied to aiProviderService.ts's streamText in #770. No behavioral change -- verified unchanged by the full orchestrator suite.

* fix(proforge): reject stale project-incarnation HITL review edits (#713) ProForge's Human-in-the-Loop review had no project-incarnation authority check: a pipeline run's origin project was tracked only by bare projectId, and submitReview applied accepted AI-generated edits into whatever project was live at approval time, keyed only by section id. A run left mid-review across a project switch, reset, import, or restore (same nominal id, new generation) could silently write stale A-origin prose into project B's manuscript. - PipelineRun now carries generatedForProjectIdentity, captured from #707's shared identity primitive when startPipeline dispatches. - submitReview's manuscript-editing path independently verifies that identity is still live before applying any accepted edit, discarding (not force-applying) when stale -- apply-time authority check, matching the existing "skipped, never force-applied" philosophy for unanchorable edits. - useProForgeOrchestrator's cached-orchestrator rebuild trigger now compares full incarnation identity (id + generation), not just the bare project id, so a same-id reset/import/restore can't leave agents silently generating suggestions against a stale manuscript/characters/worlds snapshot. - A new listenerMiddleware invalidation (alongside the existing writer/ copilot one from #713) clears a mid-pipeline run on any project-incarnation change, so the HITL review panel can't keep offering a stale run to submit in the first place -- the orchestrator-level check is the apply-time backstop for the window before this listener fires. * docs(changelog): reference PR #771 in Unreleased * refactor(proforge): flatten submitReview's identity-guarded apply path CodeScene flagged a new "Bumpy Road Ahead" in submitReview -- the if/else-if pair plus the nested if(updates.length)/if(skipped) blocks inside the editing-stage branch. Extract the whole identity-guarded edit-application flow into applyAcceptedEditsIfAuthorized, using guard clauses (early return) instead of nested if/else, mirroring the same flattening already applied to aiProviderService.ts's streamText in #770. No behavioral change -- verified unchanged by the full orchestrator suite. * fix(proforge): close review-wave races in HITL identity authority Multiple bots (CodeAnt, cubic, Sourcery) independently found real gaps in the identity-guarded HITL review path added for #713: - startPipeline captured project/identity before an awaited dynamic import, so a project switch during that await started (and pre-snapshotted) a run against stale context, with an identity that no longer matched anything live. Now re-verifies identity+generation immediately after the import and aborts the whole call if they changed. - submitReview's identity-guarded edit-apply path had its own TOCTOU: the projectActions dynamic import happened AFTER the authority check, leaving an await between "verified" and "applied". The import is now loaded first, so nothing async remains between the check and the dispatch. - A discarded-as-stale review still went on to snapshot, mark itself accepted, and advance the pipeline against the live project as if it had legitimately applied. applyAcceptedEditsIfAuthorized now reports back whether it discarded, and submitReview halts entirely when it did. - useProForgeOrchestrator's cached-orchestrator rebuild trigger compared only the derived identity string, which two different id-less projects can both resolve to null -- now also compares generation, matching the established listenerMiddleware pattern. Also fixes test gaps cubic flagged: no coverage for a legacy/null generatedForProjectIdentity, an identity-capture test that couldn't distinguish "reads live generation" from "always emits :gen:0", a mockUseAppSelector override leaking into later tests, and two listenerMiddleware fixtures whose hardcoded run identity already mismatched the store's real default project before the mutation under test. listenerMiddleware.ts:502's orchestrator-dispatch race (an in-flight stage completion landing in a newly-started run's currentRun) is deliberately not addressed here -- it's a cancellation/supersession concern #713 explicitly scopes to the Wave 0C lifecycle issue, not this authority layer, and it predates this PR (the same dispose-on-id-change mechanism already existed). * fix(proforge): close residual run-identity TOCTOU in submitReview CodeRabbit and cubic independently found that even after the previous identity-guard fix, applyAcceptedEditsIfAuthorized still read reviewItems from the currentRun/stageResult captured BEFORE the projectSlice dynamic import. A same-project abort or restart of that specific run during the import changes its status or id, but not the project identity -- so the identity check alone would still pass, and edits computed from the now-stale, pre-await stage snapshot would still get applied. Re-read the run after the import and require its id, status, and stage status to still match what was captured before proceeding; use the freshly-read reviewItems, not the captured ones. Also fixes a genuinely vacuous test cubic caught: the earlier generation-only startPipeline test used an id-present project, where getProjectTargetIdentity already embeds generation into its own string -- so the id-string comparison alone already covers that case, and the test would still pass with the generation term deleted. Replaced with an id-less variant, where the separate generation comparison is what actually matters (getProjectTargetIdentity always returns null for those).

Fixes #714's partial-stream fallback-corruption bug: the partial-then-fail guard in
streamText's fallback loop only covered Grok (createGrokAttemptCallbacks/grokEmitted), so any other provider (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Ollama) could emit visible partial text, fail mid-stream, and then have a second, full fallback answer appended after it — corrupting the user-visible output.createAttemptEmittedTrackerapplied to every provider attempt in the main fallback-chain loop and to the OpenRouter-promoted-fallback attempt (attemptOpenRouterFallback). Any attempt that has emitted output now terminates immediately on failure (firesonError, throws) instead of continuing to the next provider or the heuristic fallback.attemptChainProvider,attemptPromotedOpenRouterFallback) to keepstreamText's cognitive complexity under the repo's Biome ceiling after the generalization.does not append fallback text after Grok emits a partial response): itsfallbackProviders: ['gemini']config never actually made Gemini reachable (that option is only honored for local primaries — ollama/webllm/onnx/transformers), so it passed regardless of guard correctness.
