Summary

  • request stream_options.include_usage for every compatible streaming OpenAI chat-completions route, including local endpoints
  • keep explicit removeBodyFields compatibility rules authoritative and preserve native Ollama request serialization

Impact

  • user-facing impact: compatible local servers can return real prompt, completion, and cached-token usage, allowing context tracking and proactive compaction to use provider-reported counts
  • developer/maintainer impact: request-field compatibility is decided by route policy instead of URL locality, with deterministic coverage for local, remote, native Ollama, LM Studio, opt-out, fallback, and terminal usage paths

Testing

  • bun run build
  • bun run smoke
  • bun run check
  • focused tests: bun test --max-concurrency=1 src/services/api/openaiShim/requestPreparation.test.ts src/services/api/openaiShim/requestExecutor.integration.test.ts src/services/api/openaiShim/streamConversion.test.ts src/services/api/openaiShim.test.ts (280 pass)
  • bun test --max-concurrency=1 src/utils/tokens.test.ts src/utils/context.test.ts src/services/compact/autoCompact.test.ts (119 pass)
  • bun run test:provider (1,574 pass)
  • bun run typecheck
  • bun run typecheck:type-tests
  • bun run doctor:runtime
  • bun run security:pr-scan

Notes

  • contributor guidance reviewed: AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md
  • provider/model path tested: deterministic request and stream fixtures for a custom loopback OpenAI-compatible route, LM Studio, native and non-native Ollama routing, remote OpenAI-compatible routing, and an explicit request-field opt-out
  • screenshots attached (if UI changed): not applicable; no UI changed
  • follow-up work or known limitations: no live local model server was required or tested

Fixes #2136

OpenAI streaming usage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request usage options
src/services/api/openaiShim/requestPreparation.ts, src/services/api/openaiShim/requestPreparation.test.ts, docs/integrations/overview.md
Streaming requests now request usage data for compatible providers. Native Ollama and configured removal behavior remain covered and documented.
Unsupported option classification
src/services/api/openaiErrorClassification.ts, src/services/api/openaiErrorClassification.test.ts
Root-level stream_options rejections now use a dedicated compatibility category. Nested validation errors are excluded.
Compatibility retry and errors
src/services/api/openaiShim/requestExecutor.ts, src/services/api/openaiShim/requestExecutor.integration.test.ts, src/services/api/errors.ts, src/services/api/errors.openaiCompatibility.test.ts
The executor retries once without unsupported stream_options. Tests cover retry limits, preserved request data, cancellations, and unrelated errors.
Stream conversion and accounting
src/services/api/openaiShim/streamConversion.test.ts, src/services/api/openaiShim.test.ts
Tests verify terminal usage ordering, deduplication, missing-usage completion, cached-token details, aggregate totals, and estimated token counts.

Document the new streaming request behavior.

Streaming requests now add stream_options.include_usage by default. Document the compatible-provider behavior and the removeBodyFields opt-out so users can diagnose providers that reject this field.

Update

Documented the compatibility policy for streaming usage requests.

Addressed

  • Streaming usage compatibility at docs/integrations/overview.md:121 — The integration guide now states that OpenAI-compatible streaming chat-completions routes request terminal usage by default, URL locality does not change that contract, incompatible routes can remove stream_options explicitly, and direct Ollama serialization is unaffected. — 9c3feca

Update

Updated the streaming compatibility guidance to cover the custom-provider fallback.

Addressed

  • Streaming usage compatibility at docs/integrations/overview.md:121 — The guide now documents the one-time retry without stream_options when a server explicitly rejects the top-level field. It also keeps descriptor opt-outs authoritative and states that cancellations and unrelated client errors are not retried.

Update

Addressed both requested follow-ups with cached-token accounting proof and compatibility documentation.

Addressed

  • Cached usage accounting at src/services/api/openaiShim.test.ts:1258 — The loopback streaming regression now proves that nonzero cached input is normalized, emitted once, accumulated into session totals, and included in the context count. — 9c3feca
  • Compatibility guidance at docs/integrations/overview.md:121 — Provider guidance now documents the default include_usage request, the explicit removeBodyFields opt-out, and the separate native Ollama serializer. — 9c3feca
  • Provider compatibility risk — The outbound field is an intentional protocol default rather than a blocker: routes that reject stream_options retain an explicit removal policy, while direct Ollama requests do not use this request body. Focused shim, accounting, provider, build, type, runtime, security, and repository checks pass. — 9c3feca

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.

Merge readiness

  • Mergeable against current main; all required checks are passing.

Findings

  • [P1] Retain a fallback for custom local servers that reject stream_options
    src/services/api/openaiShim/requestPreparation.ts:253
    The removed !isLocalProviderUrl(request.baseUrl) guard was the only protection for generic local endpoints. After this change, a user who configures an arbitrary OPENAI_BASE_URL sends stream_options: { include_usage: true } on every streaming chat-completions request, even though this is an optional extension rather than part of the minimum streaming contract. Known built-in routes can remove the field through descriptor metadata, but the normal custom-provider flow persists only an API key, base URL, and model; it cannot set removeBodyFields. executeOpenAIRequest also sends the serialized request as-is and has no one-time compatibility retry for an unsupported-field 4xx. A previously working strict local/OpenAI-compatible server therefore fails before it can stream any response, leaving the user unable to use streaming at all.

    Please address the root cause—capability is being inferred from network locality rather than represented as route capability—rather than merely adding more hostname exceptions. Preserve the compatibility default for unclassified custom/local routes and enable usage chunks only for routes known to support them, or add a user-configurable capability/opt-out that reaches request preparation. A narrowly classified, single retry without stream_options is also a reasonable resilience layer, provided it cannot retry user cancellations or unrelated 4xx errors. Add an integration regression test that simulates a custom local server rejecting only this field and proves that streaming still completes without usage data.

Update

Added a bounded compatibility fallback for strict OpenAI-compatible streaming servers.

Addressed

  • Strict custom providers at src/services/api/openaiShim/requestExecutor.ts:1096 — Streaming chat-completions still request terminal usage first. An exact 400 or 422 rejection of the top-level stream_options field now triggers one retry without that field, and the returned stream completes without usage data.
  • Retry boundaries at src/services/api/openaiErrorClassification.ts:260 — The fallback preserves credentials and tool definitions, stops after one attempt, and does not replay cancellations, unrelated client errors, or nested field validation failures.
  • Regression coverage — Focused tests cover accepted rejection formats, false-positive boundaries, full stream completion, exact request preservation, cancellation, and the one-retry limit. Provider tests, the full repository check, build, smoke, type checks, runtime diagnostics, and the PR intent scan pass.

I found no merge-blocking issues. One low-risk follow-up is noted below.

Merge readiness

  • Mergeable against current main; all required checks are passing.
  • The P3 below is a non-blocking follow-up and should not delay merge.

Follow-up

  • [P3] Do not replay a tool-name validation error as a stream-options failure
    src/services/api/openaiErrorClassification.ts:334
    The free-text matcher treats any occurrence shaped like stream_options is unsupported as a rejection of the top-level request field. Tool names are passed through from callers, so a provider that rejects a user-defined tool named stream_options can return Tool "stream_options" is unsupported or Function: stream_options is unsupported. Both messages currently enter the new compatibility branch: executeOpenAIRequest deletes the genuine top-level stream_options payload and makes a second POST, only to surface the original tool-definition error again. This is low-risk because the first request already failed validation, but it unnecessarily consumes a request/rate-limit slot and violates the intended exact-field-only retry rule.

    Address the root cause by making the recovery decision depend on evidence that the request field was rejected, rather than the bare identifier appearing anywhere in provider prose. Prefer structured param/validation-location evidence where it exists; for free-text fallback, require parameter/field wording and explicitly reject tool/function/schema contexts. Mirror the negative-context handling already present for tool_stream, and add regression cases for tool and function names of stream_options that assert no replay occurs.

Local OpenAI-compatible providers never receive stream_options.include_usage → usage records are zero → auto-compact never fires proactively
