* Studio: per-card web_search result + shell_call output fallback (OpenAI)
Two empty-output bugs in the OpenAI Responses tool-result rendering that
showed up clearly when a single prompt invoked 9 web_search + 4
code_execution + 1 image_generation in one turn. Reproduction shape in
the SQLite-stored chat history:
- 8 of 9 web_search tool-call records had result == "" (the cards
rendered as empty cards in the thread)
- 4 of 4 code_execution (shell_call) records were missing the result
key entirely (NoneType), so the cards that showed "Ran cat ..." style
commands displayed the command line but no output panel at all
- image_generation worked, as did the very last web_search of the run
Root causes in studio/backend/core/inference/external_provider.py:
1. web_search_call's tool_end emitted result: "" by design, with the
intent of overwriting only the LAST call at response.completed with
the full citation list (the source-pill extractor on the frontend
flatMaps across every web_search result, so a single non-empty
result is enough for the trailing source pills). Side effect: every
intermediate card renders empty in the thread. Fix: seed each call's
own tool_end result with "Searching: <query>" so the per-card text
is never empty, then keep the last-call overwrite path so the
source-pill extractor still works. Falls back to empty when the
model emits an action with no query, so the existing last-call path
stays unchanged for that edge.
2. shell_call's tool_start was emitted from
response.output_item.done for the call item, but tool_end lived in
the separate response.output_item.done handler for shell_call_output.
When OpenAI's Responses stream bundles the output array onto the
shell_call item's own done event (no separate shell_call_output
item), the previous handler emitted tool_start with no following
tool_end. The card spun on "running" indefinitely and stored as
NoneType in the thread DB. Fix: when the shell_call's done event
carries an embedded output list, emit tool_end immediately from
that. Track tool_end_emitted on the shell_calls map so a subsequent
shell_call_output event (some streams ship both) is skipped instead
of double-completing the card. A final flush at response.completed
emits tool_end for any orphan shell_call that received neither
bundled output nor a separate output event, so cards always finalise.
Tests (studio/backend/tests/test_openai_tool_result_fallbacks.py, 6
new):
- web_search: three calls, each card's result is its own Searching:
query (no empties)
- web_search: last call still gets the aggregated citation block when
url_citations arrive (pins the overwrite path)
- web_search: empty action.query falls back to result == "" (no junk
Searching: placeholder)
- shell_call: bundled output on done emits a single tool_end with that
output as the result text
- shell_call: bundled-then-separate output does not double-emit
tool_end (subsequent shell_call_output is skipped)
- shell_call: orphan call with neither bundled nor separate output is
flushed at response.completed so the card finalises
15/15 tests green when combined with the existing 9 in
test_openai_code_execution.py. Pre-commit + ruff format clean.
Scope: OpenAI Responses-API code path only. The Anthropic native
Messages-API path (_stream_anthropic) is untouched, as is the local
llama-server path. Local-model behaviour cannot regress because the
edited handlers only fire inside the OpenAI cloud branch.
* Studio: per-model external max_tokens cap + clamp on model switch
Two related external-provider issues that surfaced from the same
investigation as the per-card web_search / shell_call result bugs in
the previous commit:
A. Slider cap was a one-size-fits-all 32768 for every external model.
provider-capabilities.ts kept a single EXTERNAL_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS
constant (32k), well below what most providers actually accept. The
docstring even called out the right per-provider numbers (Anthropic
Opus 128k, GPT-5.x ~128k, Gemini 2.5 ~65k, DeepSeek 8k) but the
code picked the lowest as a conservative floor. Effect: long
generations from gpt-5.5 / claude-opus-4-7 silently truncated at
32k even though the API would have served up to 128k.
Fix: introduce getExternalMaxOutputTokens(providerType, modelId)
returning the documented per-model cap. Patterns are checked
longest-first so e.g. gpt-5.5-pro matches before gpt-5.5. Unknown
provider/model combinations fall back to the existing 32k floor so
no surprise increases for ids we don't know about.
Per-model caps from the official docs:
- OpenAI gpt-5.5 / gpt-5.5-pro: 128000
- OpenAI gpt-5.4 / gpt-5.4-pro: 65536
- OpenAI gpt-5.3: 16384
- Anthropic claude-opus-4-7: 128000
- Anthropic claude-opus-4-6 / sonnet-4-6 / opus-4-5 / sonnet-4-5 /
haiku-4-5: 64000
- Gemini 3.x family: 65535
- DeepSeek: 8192
- OpenRouter: strip provider/ prefix from the id and re-resolve
The slider in chat-settings-sheet.tsx and the send-time clamp in
chat-adapter.ts both call the new function so the slider's max=
matches what the wire layer will accept.
B. Slider value lied after switching from a local model to external.
When Studio auto-loads the helper Gemma-4-E2B-it on first chat,
chat-adapter sets params.maxTokens to Gemma's context_length
(262144 for Gemma 4). Switching the model picker to gpt-5.5 then
flips the slider's max prop to the external cap, but the stored
params.maxTokens is never reset. The numeric value next to the
slider would render 262144 against a track that ended at the
external cap. The send-time clamp brought the outbound max_tokens
back down to the cap, so the API call was safe, but the displayed
number had no relationship to what was actually being sent.
Fix: chat-runtime-store.setCheckpoint now clamps params.maxTokens
to getExternalMaxOutputTokens(...) on transitions into an external
model. Looks up the provider via useExternalProvidersStore so we
can derive providerType from the parsed external model id. No-op
when the stored maxTokens is already at or below the new cap, so
user-tuned values within range survive the switch.
Scope: pure frontend changes scoped to external-provider code paths.
Local model behaviour is untouched -- the ggufContextLength branch of
the slider's max= is unchanged, and setCheckpoint only mutates
maxTokens when isExternalModelId(modelId) is true. The send-time
clamp continues to be the safety net for any in-flight request that
crosses a model switch before the store-level clamp has applied.
Typecheck (tsc -b) clean; bun run build succeeds (2.13s).
Co-changes with the previous commit (7fe1adbf, per-card web_search +
shell_call output fallback) form a single PR: every empty-output and
silent-truncation issue surfaced from the same animal-popularity
prompt reproduction is now addressed in one branch.
* Studio: correct external max_tokens caps for Gemini and DeepSeek
Per-doc corrections to the per-model cap table added in 95da8d52:
- Gemini 3.x family: 65535 -> 65536, per
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models/gemini-3.1-pro-preview
(the published max_output_tokens is exactly 64K = 65536). The earlier
65535 was an off-by-one rough cap.
- DeepSeek (deepseek-chat / deepseek-reasoner aliases): 8192 -> 384000,
per https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing. DeepSeek V4
Flash / Pro both list MAX OUTPUT = 384K; the chat / reasoner ids are
deprecated aliases for V4 Flash non-thinking / thinking modes. The
8192 value was carried over from V3 and silently truncated V4 traffic
at 2% of its actual ceiling.
Affects only the slider max and the send-time clamp for these provider
types. Other providers' caps unchanged. tsc -b clean.
* Studio: also flush orphan shell_calls on response.incomplete
Addresses gemini-code-assist[bot] high-priority inline review on PR
5785: the orphan-shell_call final flush added in 7fe1adbf landed only
in the response.completed branch. Truncated OpenAI Responses streams
emit response.incomplete instead (for example when the request hits
max_output_tokens), which left in-flight shell_call cards spinning
indefinitely in the UI.
Mirror the same flush block in the response.incomplete handler so the
truncated-stream path finalizes every pending tool card. The
tool_end_emitted guard keeps the path idempotent: if a shell_call
already completed via bundled output on its done event, the incomplete
flush is a no-op for it.
Two new tests in test_openai_tool_result_fallbacks.py:
- test_shell_call_flushed_on_response_incomplete_truncation pins the
bug repro: an in-flight shell_call followed by response.incomplete
must emit tool_end so the card finalizes.
- test_shell_call_incomplete_does_not_double_emit pins idempotency:
a shell_call that completed via bundled output and is then followed
by response.incomplete emits exactly one tool_end with the bundled
result text.
17/17 tests green (8 fallback tests + 9 existing code-execution). Pre-
commit + ruff format clean.
* Studio: trim verbose comments across PR 5785 edits
Compress the in-code commentary added across this branch to one or two
lines per block; the verbose prose was easier as a PR description than
as inline noise. No behavioural changes: 17/17 tests still green, tsc -b
still clean.
