Ports continuedev#13163 (filed upstream, which is read-only and will never merge it).

Description

The <think>…</think> fast-path in the streamUpdate reducer ended in return rather than continue. It sits inside for (const message of action.payload), so returning exits the reducer entirely and silently discards every remaining message in the batch.

The sibling early-exit for redacted thinking a few lines above uses continue, and nothing runs after the loop, so continue is the intended control flow.

Impact is limited to payloads carrying more than one message, where content following a <think> block in the same batch is dropped.

Tests

Added to gui/src/redux/slices/sessionSlice.test.ts: a two-message payload where the first carries a <think> block and the second continues the answer.

Went unnoticed because all 11 existing streamUpdate tests dispatch single-element payloads, where return and continue are indistinguishable.

Mutation-verified: with return the new test fails ('First part.' vs 'First part. Second part.'); with continue all 10 pass and the other 9 are unaffected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed an issue where assistant messages following a completed reasoning section could be dropped during streaming updates.
    • Subsequent assistant content is now preserved and combined correctly when multiple messages arrive.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for reasoning extraction and preserving later assistant message content.

The `<think>...</think>` fast-path in the `streamUpdate` reducer ended in
`return` rather than `continue`. Since it sits inside a
`for (const message of action.payload)` loop, returning exits the reducer
entirely and silently discards every remaining message in the batch, not
just the one being handled.

The sibling early-exit for redacted thinking uses `continue`, and nothing
runs after the loop, so `continue` is the intended control flow here.

This went unnoticed because every existing `streamUpdate` test dispatches a
single-element payload, where `return` and `continue` are indistinguishable.
The added test uses a two-message payload and fails on `return`.

Pull request overview

Fixes a streaming reducer control-flow bug in the GUI session state where batched messages could be silently dropped after encountering a <think>...</think> block, and adds a regression test to ensure subsequent messages in the same batch are preserved.

Changes:

  • Replaces an unintended return with continue inside the streamUpdate message loop to avoid discarding remaining batched messages.
  • Adds a regression test covering a two-message payload where the first contains a <think> block and the second continues the assistant output.

File Description
gui/src/redux/slices/sessionSlice.ts Fixes reducer loop control flow to continue processing remaining messages after handling the <think> fast-path.
gui/src/redux/slices/sessionSlice.test.ts Adds a test to ensure later messages in the same streamed batch aren’t dropped after a <think> block.

The batch-drop regression test seeded history with only a user message,
but submitEditorAndInitAtIndex (sessionSlice.ts) appends an empty
assistant placeholder alongside the user turn before streaming starts.

Because streamUpdate attaches `reasoning` to the last history item, the
short fixture parked reasoning on the *user* message — a state the
reducer can never produce in production:

  user-only fixture:
    [0] user      "This is a test."          reasoning="Reasoning here."
    [1] assistant "First part. Second part."

  with placeholder:
    [0] user      "This is a test."
    [1] assistant ""                         reasoning="Reasoning here."
    [2] assistant "First part. Second part."

Add the placeholder and shift the assertions to history[1]/history[2].
Also assert history[1].message.role, so the fixture cannot regress to
attaching reasoning to a user turn without failing.

The fixture is adjusted in this test only; createInitialState() is shared
with nine other tests that depend on its current shape.

Still mutation-verified: replacing `continue` with `return` fails this
test alone ('First part.' vs 'First part. Second part.'), other 9 pass.
tsc --noEmit clean.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #2.
