…flight Upstream TCP resets and scanner errors mid-SSE were previously swallowed: StreamScannerHandler recorded the failure in StreamStatus, but the stream handlers emitted a normal completion envelope (final usage chunk + [DONE] / response.completed) unconditionally. Strict OpenAI-compatible clients then saw content chunks followed by a success-shaped envelope with no semantic terminal event (finish_reason / response.completed) — indistinguishable from a truncated successful stream and unsafe to retry. Add EmitRelayFailureTerminal(): when StreamStatus reports an abnormal end (scanner_error, timeout, client_gone, panic, ping_fail), emit an in-band error chunk (empty choices, structured error object with the end reason) after the forwarded content, then terminate with [DONE] without the synthetic success envelope. Wired into: - OaiStreamHandler (chat completions): guard runs after the last forwarded chunk; on failure, skip the synthetic usage/final-response path entirely. - ResponsesStreamHandler (/v1/responses): same guard before return. Normal streams are byte-identical to before (guard is a no-op on done/eof/handler_stop). Fault injection covered by unit tests in relay/helper/stream_terminal_guard_test.go.

WalkthroughThe relay now detects abnormal upstream stream termination, emits a structured failure chunk, flushes it to the downstream SSE stream, and skips normal completion output. Tests cover reset detection, normal completion, error contents, and partial output. ChangesRelay failure terminal handling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds failure signaling for abnormal chat and Responses streams, but the Responses path currently emits the wrong event shape and may still leave strict clients unable to recognize a terminal failure. It also exposes truncated upstream transport errors, potentially revealing internal infrastructure details; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

OpenAI Responses API streaming response.incomplete event response object official documentation
💡 Result:
The response.incomplete event is a specific event in the OpenAI Responses API (which uses semantic, event-based streaming) that is emitted when a model response finishes in an incomplete state [1][2]. This event is part of the newer Responses API architecture, which differs from the traditional Chat Completions streaming format [2]. It is not a standard part of the legacy Chat Completions API streaming response, which instead uses a sequence of chunk objects with the type chat.completion.chunk [3][4][5]. The official schema for the response.incomplete event includes the following fields [1][6][7]: - type: A string literal that is always "response.incomplete" [6][7]. - response: An object containing the details of the response that was incomplete [1][6][7]. - sequence_number: An integer representing the sequence number of the event [1][6]. When using the official OpenAI SDKs, this event is represented as a typed class (e.g., ResponseIncompleteEvent in Python and Java) that follows this structure [6][7]. If you are working with the Responses API, you can listen for this event type to handle scenarios where a response did not complete successfully [2].

Emit a Responses-shaped terminal failure event.
OaiResponsesStreamHandler calls helper.EmitRelayFailureTerminal after a non-normal stream end. The helper emits "object":"chat.completion.chunk" without a top-level "type" or Responses event: field. A /v1/responses client may treat this as an unrecognized event instead of a terminal failure.
Use a Responses-specific emitter, such as a typed "response.incomplete" event with a response object. Keep the current payload for chat streams. Add handler-level reset coverage that asserts the Responses event type and rejects "chat.completion.chunk".

Problem
On a streaming relay request, when the upstream connection is reset (or the SSE scanner errors out) after some semantic events have already been forwarded, new-api records the failure internally:
…yet still delivers a success-shaped downstream envelope: content chunks → final usage chunk →
data: [DONE](or, on Responses, a bare close with no terminal event). The semantic terminal event is never forwarded.Strict OpenAI-compatible clients validate the terminal event, not the envelope. They observe "content delivered, no
finish_reason/response.completed" — indistinguishable from a truncated successful stream and unsafe to auto-retry (possible duplicate side effects). Real-world strict clients, agents built on the OpenAI SDK, report the missing terminator as a mid-stream drop on every affected request.This is the new-api-specific half of #7059: the upstream reset is environmental, but the relay converting it into an already-committed HTTP 200 stream with no terminal failure event is a protocol defect on this side of the boundary.
Root cause
StreamScannerHandleralready records the accurate end-state (done/eof/scanner_error/timeout/client_gone/panic) ininfo.StreamStatus, andStreamStatus.IsNormalEnd()already exists — but the stream handlers never consult it.OaiStreamHandler/ResponsesStreamHandlerunconditionally run the normal completion path after the scanner returns.Fix
New
helper.EmitRelayFailureTerminal(c, info):done,eof,handler_stop) — normal streams are byte-identical to before.choices(not a content chunk), structurederrorobject carryingtype: "relay_stream_error", codeupstream_stream_failure_<reason>, and a trimmed upstream error message — then terminates withdata: [DONE]so every client, strict or lenient, sees a syntactically complete SSE stream.Damage control in the failure path:
finish_reason:"stop"and no synthetic final usage chunk on failed streams — the failure must not look like success (and usage synthesized from partial text is meaningless).Wired into:
OaiStreamHandler— chat completions (guard runs after the last forwarded chunk; on failure, returns before the synthetic completion path)ResponsesStreamHandler—/v1/responses(the exact path from Bug: upstream TCP reset leaves Responses SSE without a terminal event #7059)Why an in-band error chunk instead of a Responses-style terminal event
For chat-completions there is no
response.failed-shaped event in the OpenAI streaming protocol; the established in-band convention (used by several providers for in-stream validation errors, and already special-cased by common SDK wrappers) is an SSE data line with emptychoicesand anerrorobject. Restructuring to synthesize protocol-native terminal events per format (Responses/Claude/Gemini) is a larger follow-up; this change makes the failure unambiguous and safely retryable today with minimal surface.Testing
