fix(provider): bound streamed content by bytes, not delta count - #4547
Conversation
Stream adapters capped retained content by the number of deltas the provider sent. Providers choose how finely they chunk a stream, and fine-grained tool streaming sends dozens of deltas per second, so a delta count is a wall-clock limit in disguise: - Anthropic: a tool input failed after 4,096 partial_json deltas (about 110 s of Claude Haiku tool streaming), and text or thinking failed after 8,192 deltas. - Google: every streamed text chunk was retained as its own raw part, capped at 8,192 retained items. Add a shared stream-retention primitive to veryfront/provider/shared. It bounds retained content by UTF-8 bytes, counts only zero-byte fragments (the only ones that can arrive without advancing the byte budget), and compacts accumulated fragments so storage stays proportional to content. Anthropic adopts it for tool input and retained text/thinking, OpenAI's tool-argument budget now delegates to it (unchanged behavior), and Google merges adjacent unsigned text chunks into one raw replay part. Every adapter now has a regression test that streams 20,000 small deltas through its text, reasoning, and tool-input paths.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds shared UTF-8 byte and empty-fragment retention utilities. Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI stream handlers use these utilities for bounded retention and fragment assembly. Tests cover long streams, byte limits, empty fragments, and raw-part merging.

Code Review: 89/100 — Good, minor suggestionsWell-diagnosed fix that replaces a per-delta counter with a shared byte-bounded retention primitive across all three provider stream adapters, backed by strong regression coverage and a real production-stream replay. Strengths
Concerns
Neither concern blocks merging — both are minor and easy to address with a comment or PR-description addendum rather than a code change. Generated by Claude Code |

- Line 265: Update the merged-text accounting near reserveRetainedBytes and the
finalization path so each appended fragment is charged using its escaped
JSON-string byte length, matching retainRawAssistantPart and the
MAX_GOOGLE_RETAINED_STATE_BYTES budget. Preserve the existing merge behavior,
and add a regression test covering escapable characters such as NUL, control
characters, or lone surrogates.
- Line 266: Update the adjacent-text merge path around run.text.append(text) to
call reserveRetainedItem only when the merged fragment’s text is empty,
preserving the existing byte reservation for non-empty text and avoiding a
chunk-count limit for non-empty merges.

…erges Merging adjacent text chunks shrank the raw-part count that anonymous function calls use for their fallback id, so the same stream produced different ids and could collide with a provider-supplied one. Track each retained part's original stream position, derive fallback ids from it, and emit the positions as rawAssistantPartIndexes so replay derives the same ids. Part indexes only need to increase; the part-count cap still bounds how many parts are stored. Charge merged text by its JSON-escaped size, as whole parts are charged, and count empty merged chunks against the retained-item limit.

Content blocks and citations create state per value, so they stay capped by count as well as by bytes. Only streamed text and thinking deltas use the byte-bounded rule, where empty deltas alone count toward the item limit.

Description
Stream adapters limited retained content by how many deltas the provider sent. Providers choose how finely they chunk a stream, and fine-grained tool streaming sends dozens of deltas per second. So a delta count works as a wall-clock limit:
