fix: complete Gemini streaming Responses terminal events with the output array and reasoning payloads

[fus3r]

Summary

Streaming /v1/responses on Gemini (and Vertex Gemini, same handler) never completed its terminal events: response.completed carried no output array at all ("output":null, every item type missing from the final snapshot), reasoning_summary_text.done carried no text, the reasoning output_item.done carried an empty summary, and a thoughtSignature arriving on a thought part was dropped. The non-streaming path returns the output array and the reasoning content correctly (it only shared the dropped thought-part signature), and the Anthropic stream ingress already populates Output from per-item bookkeeping, so these were Gemini-only gaps. Fixes #5259.

Changes

• Added output-item bookkeeping to GeminiResponsesStreamState (OutputItems map fed by a small trackOutputItems helper wherever output_item.added/output_item.done are emitted) and populate response.completed.response.output from it, sorted by output index, mirroring the Anthropic ingress. The helper also folds output_text.annotation.added events into the tracked text block, so the snapshot keeps the grounding citations the way the non-streaming path does.
• Inline data and file data items used to complete with an empty content array; their output_item.done now carries the same content block as output_item.added, so neither the wire done event nor the completed snapshot loses the payload.
• Reworked processGeminiThoughtPart to mirror how the text path already works: the first thought part opens the reasoning item, consecutive thought parts append reasoning_summary_text.delta and accumulate into a ReasoningBuffer, and a new closeGeminiReasoningItem completes the item when another content type starts or the stream closes, so reasoning_summary_text.done and output_item.done now carry the accumulated text (summary[] filled) instead of empty shells, and one contiguous run of thoughts produces one reasoning item instead of several.
• A thoughtSignature riding a thought part is kept and emitted as the reasoning item's encrypted_content, on the stream path and in the non-streaming converter's part.Thought case (which also silently swallowed a thought-flagged part carrying only a signature); the request converter already knows how to turn that back into a thoughtSignature, so the thinking can now be replayed. Signature-only parts keep their existing standalone item (the Gemini-format egress reads the signature from output_item.added, so folding them in would have regressed it).
• New reasoning state fields are reset in flush() alongside the existing ones, keeping pooled stream states clean across requests.

How to test

cd core
go test ./providers/gemini/ -run 'TestGemini(ResponsesStream|NonStreamThought)' -v
go test ./providers/gemini/ ./providers/vertex/

The ten new tests in streamterminalevents_test.go replay real Gemini stream chunk sequences (thought parts, text, function calls, inline and file data, grounding metadata) through ToBifrostResponsesStream and pin: one reasoning item per contiguous thought run with the accumulated text and signature on its terminal events, response.completed carrying the full output array with the actual payloads (reasoning summary, message text with its grounding citations, function_call arguments, web_search_call, rendered-content, inline and file data blocks), no state leakage across pooled-state recycling, the standalone signature-only item behavior, a full replay chain (completed output item JSON-echoed back into ToGeminiResponsesRequest recovers the thoughtSignature byte for byte), and the non-streaming converter keeping the thought-part signature. All ten fail on dev without the fix with the exact symptoms above.
Live check: stream {"model":"gemini/gemini-2.5-flash","stream":true,"reasoning":{"effort":"low"},"input":"..."} against /v1/responses and watch reasoning_summary_text.done, the reasoning output_item.done, and response.completed.response.output; compare with the same request non-streaming.

Screenshots/Recordings

Not a UI change.

Breaking changes

• Yes
• No

Terminal events that previously carried empty payloads now carry the accumulated ones, and response.completed now includes the output array; both match the non-streaming path and the OpenAI streaming shape. The Gemini-format egress is unaffected (it skips done events and reads only model/usage/stop reason from completed).

Related issues

Closes #5259

Security considerations

None. No new inputs are parsed; the change only carries already-received stream content through to the terminal events.

Walkthrough

Gemini Responses streaming now tracks complete output items, buffers consecutive reasoning parts, preserves thought signatures, and populates response.completed.output. Non-streaming conversion and regression tests cover reasoning signatures and streamed payloads.

Changes

Gemini Responses completion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stream output tracking and lifecycle state core/providers/gemini/responses.go, core/providers/gemini/streamterminalevents_test.go	Stream state records ordered output items, resets pooled state, closes open items, and assembles the final response.completed.output array. Inline-data and file-data terminal events retain content blocks.
Reasoning buffering and terminal events core/providers/gemini/responses.go	Consecutive thought parts share reasoning items, accumulate summary text and signatures, and close before other output or stream completion.
Signature conversion and regression coverage core/providers/gemini/responses.go, core/providers/gemini/streamterminalevents_test.go, core/changelog.md	Non-streaming reasoning conversion preserves signatures. Tests cover terminal events, completed snapshots, tool calls, grounding, media payloads, state recycling, and signature replay.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge. The change is a self-contained fix to the Gemini streaming Responses path; the non-streaming path and Anthropic/Vertex ingress are not regressed.

All new state fields are initialized in the pool constructor and reset in flush(), satisfying the pooled-object contract. The trackOutputItems helper is idempotent (map overwrites) so being called multiple times on the accumulating responses slice is harmless. closeGeminiReasoningItem correctly resets ReasoningOutputIndex, ReasoningBuffer, and ReasoningSignature after close. The ten new tests replay real chunk sequences and pin every fixed behavior byte-for-byte, including the pool-recycle no-leak check. No existing tests were modified and no provider interface or schema was changed.

No files require special attention.

core/providers/gemini/responses.go (1)

3435-3445: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Remove the unreachable branch.

The enclosing condition on Line 3408 is part.Text != "" || len(part.ThoughtSignature) > 0. The else executes only when part.Text == "" and len(part.ThoughtSignature) == 0. The guard len(part.ThoughtSignature) > 0 on Line 3435 can never be true there, so this block is dead code.

A thought-flagged signature-only part is already handled by the first branch, which sets ResponsesReasoning.EncryptedContent at Lines 3422-3433. That branch is what TestGeminiNonStreamThoughtPartKeepsSignature exercises.
