Summary

Sanitize Unicode tag characters as Responses-compatible provider output enters conversation history.

This restores the invariant that model-visible text cannot contain invisible Unicode-tag instructions absent from user-visible rendering. The fix covers non-streaming output_text and refusal blocks, completed streaming output items, live text/refusal deltas, reasoning summaries stored as thinking blocks, and tool-call IDs, names, and arguments in both streaming and non-streaming response shapes.

Complete narrative strings use the existing NFC-normalizing sanitizer. Live stream deltas strip tag characters without per-delta normalization, so arbitrary SSE boundaries cannot change visible output. Tool IDs, names, and recursively parsed arguments strip tag characters without normalization, covering nested arrays and objects, object keys, and escaped tag code points while preserving legitimate non-tag Unicode exactly. If distinct argument keys or tool request IDs collide after tag stripping, the provider response is rejected instead of silently choosing or misassociating a value.

Testing

  • cargo fmt --all
  • cargo test -p goose-provider-types — 449 passed
  • cargo build -p goose-provider-types -p goose
  • cargo clippy -p goose-provider-types -p goose --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • git diff --check

Rollout considerations

The sanitizer is the existing repository-wide Unicode-tag control and leaves legitimate non-tag Unicode unchanged. Streaming output and structured tool calls avoid normalization where transport or downstream consumers may depend on exact code-point sequences. Sanitization-induced key or request-ID ambiguity fails closed.
