TL;DR

MiniMax reasoning models (M3, M2.x) write their chain of thought as inline <think>...</think> XML inside choices[].message.content. Any client that reads reasoning_content sees the raw XML as the answer. This PR parses the tags in the chat-completions adapter and moves the inner text into reasoning_content, on buffered responses and on streaming deltas.

Closes #1032.

Files to review (4, +1359 / -5)

File Why
internal/providers/minimax/reasoning.go (start here) All parsing: splitThink for buffered responses, thinkStream state machine for SSE streams. Carries bytes across delta boundaries so a tag split across SSE lines is still recognized, and flushes the carry at EOF.
internal/providers/minimax/reasoning_test.go (new) Table-driven tests. Cover every case below, plus EOF flush, unparsable JSON, and type mismatches on every JSON shape the stream can carry.
internal/providers/minimax/minimax.go ChatCompletion and StreamChatCompletion call the normalizer for reasoning models. Responses and StreamResponses inherit it through ResponsesViaChat.
docs/providers/minimax.mdx New "Reasoning" section: default behavior, model gate, cutoff behavior.

Gate

The normalizer runs only on an exact, case-insensitive allowlist of models known to emit inline think blocks: minimax-m2, minimax-m2.5, minimax-m2.7, minimax-m3. Unknown future names (an m3.1 successor, m4, and so on) never touch the parse hot path. Both namespaced marker spellings are accepted on open and close: <think>, <mm:think>, <minimax:think> and the matching closing forms.

The confirmed-close rule

A closing marker inside a think block is a real close in two cases only:

  1. No closing marker comes after it (final close).
  2. A <think> open comes after it before the next closing marker (a chained block follows).

Every other closing marker is literal text the model wrote while reasoning about the tags. It stays in the reasoning output verbatim. This keeps chained think → answer → think → answer sequences intact without letting a stray marker close the block early.

Behavior: buffered responses (splitThink)

The full response is available, so the rule applies exactly in one left-to-right scan.

Input shape content reasoning_content
No <think> block Input, trimmed empty
One <think>x</think> block Text before and after the block x
Chained blocks <think>A</think>mid<think>B</think>end midend AB
Literal </think> inside reasoning, no later marker Unchanged Markers stay verbatim; the block closes at the real close
Literal close followed later by a literal open Text between them Genuinely ambiguous: reads as a chained boundary, same as the stream path
</mm:think> as closing marker Handled same as </think>
Unterminated block (finish_reason: length) Text before <think> Partial inner text. The thought before the cutoff is not dropped
Orphan close marker in content, no open before it Stripped empty

Reasoning passes through verbatim. An existing upstream reasoning_content is kept.

Behavior: streaming (thinkStream)

The stream cannot see the future, so the parser never holds output. Every marker toggles the state at once: a <think> open switches the stream to reasoning_content, a closing marker switches it back to content. Chained blocks (think → answer → think → answer) stream without delay. A tag split across SSE delta boundaries is still recognized: bytes from the last < are carried into the next delta. At EOF the carry is flushed as a final delta: as reasoning when the block never closed, as stripped content otherwise.

Accepted worst case. A literal </think> the model wrote as text inside its reasoning closes the block early, and the rest of the trace lands in content. The tag bytes themselves are still stripped, so even this beats full XML passthrough. Waiting for confirmation is not deterministic: a close can only be confirmed by input that may never come, and holding output stalls the stream. TestThinkParser_FastModeOrphanCloseLeaks and TestThinkParser_DiscordShapeAcrossFeeds pin the behavior.

Follow-up potential (not in this PR)

A hold mode could narrow the worst case: after a nested <think> open proves the block contains marker text, hold each suspect close until a new open (real close), another close (literal), or EOF (final close) resolves it. A working version existed on this branch and was removed again — the added parser state and the output stall were judged too complex for the leakage it prevents. The buffered path already handles these shapes exactly.

Reviewer notes

  • OpenAI-compatible shape preserved. The normalizer only touches choices[].message.content and the reasoning_content member. extra_content.<vendor> (ADR-0011) is never read or written.
  • Usage accounting unaffected. Reasoning tokens stay completion tokens. No double count.
  • Groq needs no parser. Groq solves the same problem one layer up through reasoning_format: parsed (internal/providers/groq/reasoning.go). MiniMax has no equivalent knob, so the gateway parses the inline tags.
  • Focus area: the confirmed-close scan in splitThink and the SSE carry mechanics in feed (tags split across delta boundaries, EOF flush). Pinned by TestThinkParser_DiscordShapeAcrossFeeds, TestThinkParser_NestedCloseAcrossFeeds, and TestThinkParser_FastModeOrphanCloseLeaks.

Verification

  • gofmt -l clean, go vet clean.
  • golangci-lint run ./internal/providers/minimax/...: zero issues.
  • go test ./internal/providers/minimax/... -count=1: all tests pass, including every case above.
  • Patch coverage on reasoning.go and minimax.go: 100%.
  • CI: lint, Unit Tests, Integration Tests, E2E Tests, Performance Guard, Docs Validation all pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • MiniMax M2, M2.5, M2.7, and M3 models now provide reasoning separately through reasoning_content, including streaming updates.
    • Reasoning markers are removed from displayed answers, including markers split across streamed updates.
    • Partial reasoning is preserved when responses end due to length limits.
    • Stray closing markers remain visible instead of being interpreted.
    • Other MiniMax models pass through unchanged; reasoning tokens count toward completion usage.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on MiniMax reasoning behavior and supported models.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MiniMax reasoning models now move inline think blocks into reasoning_content for buffered responses and streaming deltas. The adapter handles split and namespaced markers, unfinished blocks, malformed payloads, and non-reasoning models. Documentation and tests cover the behavior.

Changes

MiniMax reasoning normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Buffered response normalization
internal/providers/minimax/reasoning.go, internal/providers/minimax/minimax.go, internal/providers/minimax/reasoning_test.go
The adapter detects four exact MiniMax reasoning model names, extracts think blocks into reasoning_content, preserves existing reasoning fields, escapes orphan closing markers, and leaves other models unchanged.
Streaming response normalization
internal/providers/minimax/reasoning_stream.go, internal/providers/minimax/reasoning_frames.go, internal/providers/minimax/minimax.go, internal/providers/minimax/reasoning_stream_test.go, internal/providers/minimax/reasoning_frames_test.go
The SSE parser separates content and reasoning deltas, handles markers split across feeds, maintains state per choice, flushes unfinished state, orders carry frames before finish frames, and preserves unsupported events and payloads.
Provider documentation
docs/providers/minimax.mdx
The documentation describes supported reasoning models, marker handling, partial reasoning, escaping, streaming deltas, and completion-token accounting.

Test coverage should be 99%+ idearly!

Refactor unreachable json.Marshal error paths in reasoning.go (KISS): the
inputs are always pre-validated, so the error returns cannot fire and add
noise to coverage accounting. Drop them with a one-line comment naming
each constructor that cannot fail.

Add reasoning_test.go cases for normalizeChoice non-string/empty Content,
rewrite bad chunk/choices-not-array/no-choices paths, rewriteChoice choice
not map / no delta / delta not map / no content / empty content / content
not string / no-change branches, and the thinkParser boundary-at-zero and
loop-exits-at-exact-end paths.

Add prod_integration_test.go with fixtures captured from a live MiniMax M2
buffered response and M2.7 SSE stream. These prove the fix works against
the real upstream shape, not just hand-crafted inputs: the buffered case
shows a properly-closed think block followed by a max_tokens cutoff, and
the streamed case shows the think tag split across multiple deltas. The
Provider-level wiring test confirms StreamChatCompletion on a M2.7 request
also runs the normalizer, and a non-reasoning model is relayed byte for
byte.

Patch coverage on the changed files is now 100%.
…tion

The M2.x reasoning behavior follows the upstream issue spec; only M3 has
been human-confirmed on this gateway so far. Reword the reasoning section
to be explicit about the source of each claim so the docs do not
overstate what has been observed.

Thread Finding Resolution
docs/providers/minimax.mdx L55 M2 reasoning claim not human-confirmed Reworded the Reasoning section so M3 is the only human-confirmed case and the M2.x behavior is attributed to the upstream MiniMax API description in the issue. Commit 9210cfa.
Same thread, follow-up Full Provider model scope needs more testing Non-reasoning surfaces (speech, image, embedding) are explicitly skipped by isReasoningModel and asserted byte-for-byte unchanged in TestChatCompletion_NonReasoningModelIsUntouched and TestProdStreamSpeechModel_PassesThrough. Broader scope can land as a follow-up once the next model/surface to cover is confirmed. Commit 9210cfa.

Verification on this PR:

  • go test ./internal/providers/minimax/... all green
  • Patch coverage on changed files: 100% (154 / 154 statements)
  • go build ./... clean
  • Live fixtures captured from MiniMax-M2 (buffered) and MiniMax-M2.7 (SSE) via temporary virtual-model aliases on the production gateway; the integration tests under testdata/ prove the fix on the real upstream shape, not just hand-crafted inputs.

Captured a real nested payload from a live MiniMax M2.7 request and
added it to the prod fixtures. The model emitted a literal <think> inside
its outer think and the second close trailed in the content stream.

Parser behavior on the Discord-shaped payload:

<think>Wait, I accidentally typed "inlineXML" instead of "inline<think>XML"
— and lost the</think>' reference. Let me fix that.</think>

  content    = "' reference. Let me fix that."
  reasoning  = "Wait, I accidentally typed ... and lost the"

— the parser exits on the inner close so the answer between inner and outer
closes survives as content, the nested <think> marker stays in reasoning
verbatim, and the outer close is stripped from the content stream as an
orphan.

Strip rules:

  - Strip orphan </think> from content only — never from reasoning
    (reasoning may legitimately contain the literal "<think>" text)
  - Strip leading </think> from the combined buffer when the parser
    is not in think mode, so a stray close split across SSE lines does
    not pin the carry waiting for an open that never arrives
  - Stream-side and buffered-side share the same rules via the shared
    stripOrphanCloses helper

Tests added:

  - TestSplitThink_NestedThinkBlock         (real Discord-shape payload)
  - TestSplitThink_OrphanCloseInContent
  - TestSplitThink_MultipleSequentialThinkBlocks
  - TestSplitThink_NestedThenTrailing
  - TestThinkParser_OrphanCloseDoesNotStickInCarry
  - TestThinkParser_NestedCloseAcrossFeeds
  - TestSplitThink_NoOrphanCloseLeavesContentUntouched (fast-path)
  - TestProdStreamM27_NestedThinkShape (real prod fixture)

Verification: go test ./internal/providers/minimax/... clean,
golangci-lint run clean, patch coverage 99.4%.
The helper is small enough that the compiler may inline it, which drops
the fast-path line from coverage when it is only reached transitively
through feed(). Two direct unit tests assert both paths:

  - fast path: input without </think> returns verbatim
  - slow path: input with stray </think> has the marker stripped

Patch coverage on the changed files now reports 156/156 = 100%.

Addresses three review findings.

1. **Unterminated `<think>` is now closed, not dropped.** When
   `finish_reason` is length and the stream is cut off mid-reasoning,
   the partial inner text is emitted as reasoning_content so the client
   still sees the chain of thought, the same posture any other
   interrupted turn already takes. Doc section updated to match.

2. **Streaming parser flushes carry at EOF.** A partial think tag or
   partial open tag held in carry at end of stream is now flushed as a
   final SSE delta instead of being silently dropped, so the client sees
   the full stream.

3. **Fixtures and prod_integration_test.go removed; tests integrated**
   like the user prefers in PR ENTERPILOT#1013 — table-driven, no captured JSON
   blobs, no separate test file. The M2 buffered and M2.7 stream shapes
   are now `TestSplitThink_M2_prod_shape` and
   `TestNormalizeChatStream_FlushAtEOFEmitsFinalDelta` inside the
   existing table-driven suite, with no `testdata/` directory.

KISS refactor on flushCarry: dropped the unreachable json.Marshal error
paths on string / map-of-RawMessage inputs. Marshaling those values
cannot fail; keeping the dead-code error handling only added coverage
holes and made the function harder to read. Renamed mustMarshalRaw and
the new mustMarshalString / mustMarshalJSON helpers to make the
non-fallible contract explicit.

Verification:

  - go test ./internal/providers/minimax/... clean
  - golangci-lint run clean
  - patch coverage on changed files: 195 / 195 = 100%

Resolved: 3 / 3 new findings on this round.

Thread Finding Resolution
docs/providers/minimax.mdx — unfinished think Drop or send partial? Closed the unfinished think and emitted the partial inner text as reasoning_content instead of dropping it, matching how every other interrupted turn already behaves. Streaming carry at EOF is flushed as a final SSE delta so the client sees the full stream.
docs/providers/minimax.mdx — too verbose Tighten docs Cut the Reasoning section down to two short paragraphs (default behavior + cutoff behavior).
internal/providers/minimax/prod_integration_test.go — fixtures not needed Replace with KISS table-driven tests Deleted prod_integration_test.go and the entire testdata/ directory. The M2 / M2.7 prod shapes are pinned by TestSplitThink_M2_prod_shape and TestNormalizeChatStream_FlushAtEOFEmitsFinalDelta inside the existing table-driven suite, same style as PR #1013.

Verification on this round:

  • go test ./internal/providers/minimax/... clean
  • golangci-lint run clean
  • Patch coverage on the changed files: 100% (195 / 195 statements)
  • All reasoning coverage now lives inside reasoning_test.go as inline table cases; no fixture files in the tree.

MiniMax occasionally closes the reasoning block with the namespaced
</mm:think> variant instead of the plain </think>. The parser now
accepts both spellings:

  - earliestClose finds whichever close marker comes first in the
    remaining text when parsing a buffered response
  - feed's think-state branch picks whichever close spelling appears
    first in the current window, so a namespaced close is recognised
    even when it lands mid-delta
  - stripAllCloses / stripLeadingCloses / stripOrphanCloses now strip
    both spellings, so an orphan namespaced close never leaks to the
    client

Tests: namespaced close in buffered, orphan-in-content, earliest-close
wins when both spellings appear, namespaced close split across SSE
feeds, and the end-to-end stream case.

Docs updated to mention both accepted closing spellings.

Patch coverage on the changed files: 219 / 219 = 100%.

Follow-up: added support for the alternative namespaced closing marker `</mm:think>`.

MiniMax occasionally emits `</mm:think>` instead of plain `` when closing the reasoning block. The parser now:

  • accepts both spellings via a `thinkCloseTags` list (`internal/providers/minimax/reasoning.go`)
  • picks whichever close marker appears first in the current window, so a namespaced close is recognised even when it lands mid-delta
  • strips orphan close markers of either form from the content stream before the client sees them

Tests added: `TestSplitThink_NamespacedClose`, `TestSplitThink_NamespacedCloseInsideContent`, `TestSplitThink_EarliestCloseWins`, `TestThinkParser_NamespacedCloseAcrossFeeds`, `TestNormalizeChatStream_NamespacedClose`.

Docs updated to mention both accepted closing spellings. Patch coverage on the changed files: 219 / 219 = 100%.

Resolved in 149c56b — greedy buffered matching.

Buffered responses (splitThink). The parser pairs the first <think> with the last accepted closing marker. Every literal <think> or </think> the model writes as text inside its reasoning stays reasoning, verbatim. Nothing leaks into content. A full literal think pair inside reasoning also stays reasoning — the outer close is still the last marker.

Streaming (feed). The parser keeps the immediate exit: it emits reasoning live and closes the block on the first closing marker. A literal </think> written inside streaming reasoning therefore closes the block early, and the rest of the trace reaches the client as content. This is the accepted trade-off for zero added latency; the doc comment on feed records it.

Tests. New cases pin the reported shapes: orphaned <think> alone, orphaned </think> alone, both together, and a nested <think>…</think> inside the outer block. All pass, patch coverage stays at 100%.

Resolved in e0869cf — confirmed-close matching replaces greedy, and the stream gains a hold mode with a single trigger.

Buffered. splitThink now treats a closing marker as real only when no close comes after it, or when a <think> open comes before the next close. Chained blocks (think → answer → think → answer) now split correctly: <think>A</think>mid<think>B</think>end gives content midend and reasoning AB. Literal markers inside reasoning stay verbatim, as before.

Streaming. Fast mode is unchanged: every marker toggles at once, zero hold. A nested <think> open inside a block arms hold mode. The next close is then held until a new open (held close was real, pending is content), another close (held close was literal, restored into reasoning verbatim), or EOF (held close was the final one, pending is content). The reported shape with a literal inline<think>XML mention now streams intact. A stream without a nested open never holds a byte.

Tests pin every case, including the accepted fast-mode leak for a lone literal </think>. Patch coverage stays at 100%.

Visual walkthrough, one small diagram per step. All five parse with mermaid flowchart-v2, the engine GitHub uses.

Step 1 — the problem this PR fixes

flowchart LR
    A["MiniMax sends answer with inline think XML"] --> B["Gateway relays it verbatim"] --> C["Client shows raw XML as the answer"]
Loading

Step 2 — when the conversion runs at all

The normalizer only touches MiniMax reasoning models that actually emitted a think tag. Everything else passes through unchanged.

flowchart TD
    A["Response arrives"] --> B{"model starts with minimax-m3 or minimax-m2?"}
    B -- "no" --> C["pass through byte for byte"]
    B -- "yes" --> D{"think open tag in content?"}
    D -- "no" --> C
    D -- "yes" --> E["normalize this response"]
Loading

Step 3 — the confirmed-close rule (buffered responses)

The full text is available, so every closing marker is classified exactly.

flowchart TD
    A["closing marker inside a block"] --> B{"any closing marker after it?"}
    B -- "no" --> C["real close: it is the final one"]
    B -- "yes" --> D{"think open before that next close?"}
    D -- "yes" --> E["real close: a chained block follows"]
    D -- "no" --> F["literal text: stays in reasoning verbatim"]
Loading

Step 4 — streaming (immediate toggle, never holds)

The stream cannot wait for confirmation, so every marker toggles the mode at once. Chained blocks stream without delay. A literal close inside reasoning ends the block early — the accepted worst case; the tag bytes are still stripped.

flowchart LR
    A["think open marker"] --> B["reasoning mode: deltas emit as reasoning_content"]
    B --> C["close marker"]
    C --> D["content mode: deltas emit as content"]
    D --> A
Loading

Step 5 — the three outcomes

flowchart LR
    E["Expected: one clean think block"] --> ER["reasoning = plan, content = answer, same shape as native providers"]
    BE["Best: chained blocks or literal markers"] --> BR["verbatim reasoning, clean content, zero marker bytes leak"]
    W["Worst: lone literal close in a stream"] --> WR["block closes early, tail lands in content, tag bytes still stripped"]
    PAS["Without this PR: full XML passthrough"] -. "worst case still beats this" .-> WR
Loading

Follow-up potential, not in this PR: a hold mode could narrow the streaming worst case by holding a suspect close after a nested think open until a new open, another close, or EOF resolves it. It was implemented on this branch and removed again — the added parser state and the output stall cost more than the leakage it prevents.

I dont want to have 2 different modes for the Streaming think Parser i Just want a leaky or lossy whatever U wanna call it Chain Like in step 4 this also allows multiple thinking Blocks per request - step 5 shouldnt be Default document it as followup Potential in PR or smth but this is to complex and cannot be Made deterministically imo?!

Resolved in f3b27a8 — hold mode removed, agreed on all points.

The streaming parser is back to a single mode: every marker toggles at once, nothing is ever held. Chained blocks (think → answer → think → answer) still work with zero delay. The accepted worst case is now pinned in tests (TestThinkParser_FastModeOrphanCloseLeaks, TestThinkParser_DiscordShapeAcrossFeeds): a lone literal </think> closes the block early, the tail lands in content, and the tag bytes are still stripped — better than full XML passthrough.

The hold-mode design is documented in the PR body under "Follow-up potential (not in this PR)", including why it was removed: the confirmation can only come from input that may never arrive, so it cannot be made deterministic, and the parser state plus output stall cost more than the leakage it prevented. The walkthrough comment above is updated to match.

U say "still stripped" this can be resulting in issues we should maybe make it not think but a clear not in MD Render displayed Tag the model still can see its part of IT reasoning maybe, so harness hides model sees not weirdly breaking the Reasoning trace in such an Edge Case and still giving the model as much context as possible?

Sometimes when minimax gets really "dumb" through long-running requests or too much context. In such cases, closing reasoning tokens like </minimax:think> or similarly, we should extend the closing detection parameter, and accordingly the opening parameter for the XML tag that should be parsed as well. However, I didn't notice any weird entries myself, but this should be checked and then extended as well.

- gate normalization on the exact known model list (m2, m2.5, m2.7, m3)
- accept mm: and minimax: namespaced open/close marker spellings
- flush a choice's carry before forwarding its finish_reason delta

Checked and extended in e44988c.

Traffic analysis. Ten windows across the last 90 days of production MiniMax traffic, ~10,000 entries sampled via the admin audit API (retention is ~29 days — June/July are gone). Every content-bearing response used only <think> and </think>, plus exactly one window (2026-08-20 → 08-28) showing </mm:think>: 18 plain occurrences and one mixed close with a standard open. No </minimax:think>, no <mm:think>, no degraded </mm></minimax:think> anywhere.

Extended anyway (defensive, fixed lists, no regex engine):

  • Closing markers: </think>, </mm:think>, </minimax:think>
  • Opening markers: <think>, <mm:think>, <minimax:think>
  • The degraded </mm></minimax:think> shape resolves at its </minimax:think> tail; the </mm> prefix stays orphan text. Pinned by TestSplitThink_DegradedCloseSequence.

Gate tightened at the same time: the normalizer now runs only on an exact case-insensitive allowlist — minimax-m2, minimax-m2.5, minimax-m2.7, minimax-m3. Unknown future names (m3.1, m4, …) never touch the hot path, for exactly the successor-model reason you gave.

Agents did this with the gomodel admin mcp :3

- terminal chunk with parked carry splits into content, carry, finish frames
- move synthetic SSE frame builders into reasoning_frames.go
@weselben

Addressed the Outside-Diff P1 in ac11f78.

The order bug was real. A terminal chunk carrying both content ending in a partial marker and a non-null finish_reason emitted the flushed carry before the rewritten content, so a client concatenating deltas received the marker prefix before the preceding text.

Fix. A rewritten terminal choice that parks new carry now splits into ordered frames: the content event (with finish_reason removed), then the carry delta, then a finish-only delta carrying the original finish_reason — each \n\n-terminated and keyed to the correct choice index. Carry the choice held before the chunk still precedes the new content inside the rewritten event. Chunks that park no new carry keep the single-event shape. Per-choice isolation and the [DONE] flush are unchanged.

Pinned by six new tests, including the exact reported sequence: content + finish in one chunk → content event → carry frame → finish frame → [DONE]. Coverage on reasoning*.go stays at 100%.

The same commit moves the synthetic frame builders into reasoning_frames.go (127 lines), which also resolves the file-size concern: reasoning_stream.go is back to 341 lines.

Final state after all review rounds (ac11f78).

What the PR does. MiniMax reasoning models (exact allowlist: minimax-m2, minimax-m2.5, minimax-m2.7, minimax-m3, case-insensitive) write chain-of-thought as inline think XML in content. The adapter moves it to reasoning_content on buffered responses and streaming deltas. Buffered uses confirmed-close matching (chained blocks split correctly, literal markers stay verbatim). Streaming toggles immediately and never holds output. Marker spellings accepted: <think>, <mm:think>, <minimax:think> and their closing forms. Leaked orphan closes are escaped to visible text instead of stripped.

Review rounds resolved.

  • Greptile round 1 (score 1/5): per-choice parsers, carry flushed before [DONE] as complete \n\n frames, marker-prefix-only carry retention, existing reasoning_content preserved, file split. Re-scored 4/5.
  • Greptile Outside-Diff P1: terminal chunk order — content, carry, finish frames now emit in original order. File-size concern resolved via reasoning_frames.go.
  • CodeRabbit: whitespace preserved on no-think responses, [DONE] flush order, reasoning_content overwrite guard, docs claims qualified, M2 wording aligned to the allowlist.
  • Owner decisions folded in: single streaming mode (no hold), escape-instead-of-strip for leaked markers, exact model gate.

Verification. gofmt clean, golangci-lint 0 issues, go build ./... clean, go test ./internal/providers/minimax/... green, 100% patch coverage on reasoning.go, reasoning_stream.go, reasoning_frames.go. CI green on ac11f783.

…c frames

- terminate rewritten terminal events with a blank line before suffix frames
- merge the cached chunk envelope into synthetic carry and finish frames
- replace mutable package-level tag lists and model map with fixed lookups

Round on 40323ab — three findings resolved, one already covered.

  • SSE event delimiting (CodeRabbit Major): split terminal frames are now real separate events — blank-line terminated. Regression test drives the repo's own EventScanner.
  • Envelope on synthetic frames (CodeRabbit Minor): latest id/object/created/model merge into synthetic carry/finish frames.
  • Mutable package state (CodeRabbit Trivial): model gate is a switch, tag lists are fixed-array functions.
  • Greptile P1 on terminal delta order was the twin of the Outside-Diff item — already fixed in ac11f78.

Verified: gofmt clean, golangci-lint 0 issues, tests green, go build ./... clean, 100% coverage on all reasoning*.go. Every review thread now has a resolution reply.

@weselben The current state is mergeable, conditional on the reported green CI checks.

The PR adds 2,198 lines, but 1,409 lines are tests. The production implementation is 764 lines. Of those production lines, 218 are comments. The executable implementation is about 494 lines.

I do not recommend a behavior refactor before merge.

The streaming code must handle these separate requirements:

  • Parser state per choice.
  • Think markers split across SSE boundaries.
  • Carry flush at EOF and before [DONE].
  • Terminal finish_reason ordering.
  • Valid SSE event delimiters for synthetic frames.
  • Preservation of the chunk envelope and existing reasoning_content.

These requirements explain reasoning_stream.go and reasoning_frames.go. Combining the frame code back into the stream reader would reduce file count, but it would not reduce complexity. It would make the terminal ordering logic harder to verify.

The buffered parser and streaming parser should remain separate. They intentionally have different semantics:

  • splitThink can use confirmed-close matching because it has all input.
  • thinkParser.feed must toggle immediately because streaming cannot deterministically confirm a close without delaying output.

The test size is also justified. The tests pin protocol boundaries and regressions that were already found during review. Table-driven tests could reduce some repeated setup, especially the malformed JSON passthrough cases and marker variants. That would be a maintenance-only cleanup. It has limited value and creates unnecessary churn now.

The only low-risk KISS cleanup is documentation reduction. The three production files contain 218 comment lines. Some comments repeat behavior already expressed by the function name and tests. Shorter comments would reduce visual weight, but they do not simplify runtime behavior.

My recommendation:

  1. Merge this PR with its current behavior and test coverage.
  2. Do not simplify the streaming state machine in this PR.
  3. If desired, open a follow-up for table-driven test consolidation and comment shortening only. Do not change the parser contract in that follow-up.

No merge-blocking issue was found during static inspection.
