Problem

When a channel's capability policy is stream: require, a non-streaming
Chat Completions request is upgraded to a streaming upstream request and the
stream is aggregated back into a single response body
(autoAggregateStream → openai.AggregateStreamChunks). The aggregator
rebuilt each message from only content / reasoning_content /
tool_calls / annotations, silently dropping fields that both the
streaming path and the direct non-streaming path preserve:

  • delta.refusal — a model refusal reached the client as an empty
    assistant message with finish_reason: "stop", indistinguishable from
    an empty completion. The refusal text (a safety-relevant signal) was
    lost.
  • delta.audio — audio output (id, expires_at, fragmented data and
    transcript) from audio models was lost.
  • choice-level logprobs — clients that explicitly requested
    logprobs: true received no logprobs at all.
  • delta.reasoning — the reasoning field variant used by some providers
    (e.g. Synthetic) instead of reasoning_content.
  • response-level service_tier.

The same aggregator also produces the persisted response body in request
logs (orchestrator inbound/outbound persistent streams), so recorded
responses lost the same fields.

Fix

Aggregate the dropped fields the same way content is aggregated:

  • concatenate refusal and reasoning text across deltas;
  • reassemble fragmented audio chunks (first-seen id/expires_at,
    concatenated data/transcript);
  • concatenate per-chunk logprobs.content (reusing a toLLMLogprobs
    helper extracted from ToLLMChoice, behavior unchanged);
  • carry the first non-empty service_tier onto the aggregated response.

Aggregation output for streams without these fields is byte-for-byte
unchanged (locked by the existing fixture tests).

Testing

Re-verified on 2026-09-25 after rebasing onto unstable @ 80947077 (Go 1.26.8, Windows):

  • New unit tests in llm/transformer/openai/aggregator_preserve_fields_test.go
    cover refusal, audio, logprobs, and reasoning/service_tier aggregation;
    all four fail on the base commit and pass with the fix.
  • New end-to-end test
    TestPipeline_NonStreaming_AutoAggregateUpgradedStream_PreservesRefusal
    in llm/pipeline/streaming_integration_test.go drives the full
    stream-required path (non-streaming client → forced stream → aggregated
    response) and asserts the refusal survives; it fails without the fix.
  • go test ./transformer/openai/ -run TestAggregateStreamChunks — pass.
  • go test ./pipeline/ -run TestPipeline_NonStreaming_AutoAggregateUpgradedStream -v
    — 6/6 pass, including the new refusal case.
  • go test ./transformer/openai/... and go test ./... (llm module) — 39
    packages ok, with exactly one failure:
    TestWebSocketStreamReturnsErrorWhenReusedConnectionClosesBeforeEvent in
    openai/responses. That test asserts a WebSocket close error message and
    instead observes a Windows wsarecv connection-abort error; it fails
    identically on a pristine unstable checkout (verified in a detached
    worktree at the same commit, with aggregator.go byte-identical to base),
    so it is a pre-existing platform difference. This change does not touch
    openai/responses.
  • go vet ./... — clean, exit 0.
  • gofmt -l over the four changed files reports only
    llm/pipeline/streaming_integration_test.go, and the pristine base file
    reports the identical complaint at the same double blank line (line 669
    before this change, shifted to 754 by the added tests). It is pre-existing
    and deliberately left alone to keep the diff focused.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Responses assembled from streamed chunks now retain refusal text, reasoning, audio data and transcripts, logprob details, and related audio metadata.
    • Aggregated responses preserve finish reasons and service tiers, along with logprob token values, scores, and byte data.
    • Audio from interleaved choices remains associated with the correct choice.
    • Non-streaming requests handled through a streaming upstream now return complete responses with these fields and usage information intact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OpenAI stream aggregator now retains refusal, reasoning, audio, logprob, and service-tier data in aggregated responses. Tests cover field aggregation and non-streaming requests that receive streaming responses.

Changes

Stream aggregation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Aggregate streamed response fields
llm/transformer/openai/aggregator.go, llm/transformer/openai/aggregator_preserve_fields_test.go, llm/transformer/openai/outbound_convert.go
The aggregator combines refusal, reasoning, and audio fields, retains service-tier data, and converts accumulated logprobs. Tests check field aggregation, logprob conversion, and audio allocation behavior.
Non-streaming response integration
llm/pipeline/streaming_integration_test.go, internal/server/orchestrator/require_stream_fields_test.go
Integration tests check non-streaming responses after streaming is enabled or required, including refusal, content, reasoning, audio, service-tier, logprob, and usage fields.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: llc1123

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e03aa

The change preserves additional fields in aggregated non-streaming responses. The available evidence establishes no merge-blocking regression.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e03aa

The change restores response fields through existing request and storage paths. No introduced security defect was established, but retention controls for sensitive recorded fields and audio-fragment compatibility were not fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — An upstream controlling completion chunks can influence the newly preserved data in responses and corresponding persisted records for requests it serves. The inspected flow does not establish cross-request disclosure or expanded privileges; downstream record visibility was not verified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The added fields cross the existing provider-response-to-unified-response conversion boundary as data. Inbound finalization writes the aggregate using the associated request ID and also saves the underlying response chunks, providing counterevidence to treating aggregate preservation as an entirely new stored-data category.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Existing finalization distinguishes terminal or sufficiently completed responses from interrupted streams, preserves failure chunks, and guards repeated Close calls. Outbound aggregation errors do not cause returned partial bodies to be trusted for persistence. These controls remain outside the added field-aggregation logic.
  • observed — Aggregation continues after a chunk transformation error, so malformed chunks can leave missing response fields. Changed-range evidence identifies this as pre-existing behavior, not an introduced defect; strict completeness expectations for consumers remain unresolved.

…egated chat streams

When a channel policy forces streaming for a non-streaming client, the
pipeline aggregates the upstream stream into a single chat completion
body via openai.AggregateStreamChunks. The aggregator rebuilt the message
from only content/reasoning_content/tool_calls/annotations, silently
dropping delta.refusal, delta.audio, delta.reasoning, choice logprobs,
and service_tier that both the streaming and the direct non-streaming
paths preserve. A model refusal reached the client as an empty assistant
message with finish_reason "stop", indistinguishable from an empty
completion.

Aggregate refusal and reasoning text like content, reassemble fragmented
audio chunks, concatenate per-chunk logprobs, and carry service_tier from
the stream, restoring parity with the non-aggregated paths.

Please review current head faa1e27555896d97881bf93d1fcf67cdcac06369, rebased onto e26e52bb5d0398eb757ee80819aa636e84cbc3a0.

The audio-copying finding is addressed for both data and transcript with per-choice strings.Builder accumulation and one final assignment. First populated audio metadata and choice separation are preserved. The allocation regression for 1,024 fragments failed before the repair (2,095 allocations) and passes afterward (59 allocations).

Validation passed with -race -shuffle=on -count=1: the OpenAI transformer and pipeline suites, plus focused orchestrator require-stream tests. A real HTTP/SSE driver using the supported channel require-stream policy verifies stream:false becomes an upstream stream and the returned JSON retains refusal, audio metadata/data/transcript, reasoning, reasoning_content, service tier, logprob tokens/bytes/top alternatives, and usage. The broader local orchestrator suite reached a 60-second command cap and is not counted as passed. Local build/lint were not run under repository rules.

The original contributor's patch and author attribution were preserved on rebase. All new commits are SSH-signed with the required contributor signing identity.

29-47: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Do not call require inside the httptest handler goroutine.

The httptest server runs each handler in a separate goroutine. When a require call fails in that goroutine, it calls t.FailNow, and runtime.Goexit then stops only the handler goroutine. The testing package does not support that use. The test can then report a confusing secondary failure or hang on the client side. The gateway handler on lines 77-88 has the same problem. Inside the handlers, use assert, or use t.Errorf followed by an HTTP error response and return.

Proposed fix pattern
-		require.Equal(t, "/v1/chat/completions", r.URL.Path)
+		if !assert.Equal(t, "/v1/chat/completions", r.URL.Path) {
+			http.Error(w, "bad path", http.StatusBadRequest)

Current head is 0f37679476a9ca9970863659e9f20231eb406492. The handler-goroutine nitpick from the faa1e275 review is fixed in a separate signed test-only commit: the HTTP handlers use nonfatal assertions, return explicit HTTP errors before continuing on invalid input or orchestration failure, and retain fatal assertions only in the main test goroutine.

Focused require-stream driver and policy regressions passed again with -race -shuffle=on -count=1. All five Actions checks passed on the preceding head; please review this follow-up against the current head. Audio accumulation and the original contributor patch are unchanged by the follow-up.

Please review current head e03aa499b5bd375d07711a0a82abbdd92694c7a5. The only new change renames this PR's test helper from streamEvents to fieldPreservationStreamEvents (definition, existing comment, and five callers), avoiding the duplicate helper added by sibling PR #2572. No production code changed.

Targeted field-preservation tests passed with -race -shuffle=on -count=1. In disposable worktree /var/tmp/axonhub-pr2561-combined-20261001, I applied #2572's untouched original diff at 4af11979d0926c90c55d4ebde9fbb667b3e9aea9 alongside this rename. Both complete OpenAI transformer and pipeline suites compiled and passed with the race detector. Neither unstable nor #2572 was changed or pushed. This is a separate SSH-signed commit, not an amend.
