[#22109][fix] Responses streaming: handle every token of a multi-token Harmony response - #22110
responses_utils.py now processes Harmony token_ids_diff one token at a time. It emits events after each token. Consecutive text or reasoning deltas merge only when type, output index, and content index match.
Item completion checks parser.current_channel and StreamState.EXPECT_START. The check treats EXPECT_START as a new item boundary only when the parser is outside a message.
Output indexes advance after item completion. Commentary preambles without a recipient do not advance the index, because they are not output items.
harmony_adapter.py (HarmonyStreamState) caches converted parser messages. It records the encoding's stop tokens, reuses the cache, and invalidates it when a batch contains a stop token.
Per-token processing increases the number of parser and event-generation calls per response. The PR does not report a performance measurement.
Out of scope, per the PR: if generation ends without <|return|> in token_ids_diff, the answer item may get no done events. The OpenAI SDK accumulator may then reject response.completed. main shows the same behavior. The empty final response no longer resends the previous delta.
Harmony tool-call items are not streamed. They appear only in response.completed, as on main.
No public API declarations changed.
Review finding counts: not available.
QA Engineer Review
Added tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_responses_harmony_streaming.py (+201 lines). It contains CPU-only tests.
Modified tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml (+1 line) to list the new test file.
Test coverage: reasoning, final text, preambles, tool-call parsing, truncated output, and batch-size independence across token batch sizes. It also checks per-content-part deltas, item output indexes, empty token responses, and parser-message consistency.
The PR author reports 29 new tests passed. On main, 25 of them failed and 4 passed. The existing Harmony and Responses set had 402 passed, 3 skipped, and 7 setup-related failures on both main and this branch. Tests ran with pytest --noconftest and stubbed native bindings.
GPU gpt-oss streaming cases in tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/_test_openai_responses.py were not run.
Coverage verdict: sufficient for the CPU regression. GPU coverage: not available.

tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml: Adds the Harmony streaming regression file to the CPU CI stage.
_generate_streaming_event_harmony (Responses API, gpt-oss) passed all tokens of a response to the Harmony parser in one call and then read parser.last_content_delta and parser.state. Both describe only the last token. A response carries several tokens with stream_interval > 1 (all 114 gpt-oss configs under examples/configs use 20) and when draft tokens are accepted. In that case the deltas of the other tokens were dropped. A message that ended inside a response (the analysis <|end|> followed by the final channel's header, for instance) also left the parser past EXPECT_START, so the reasoning item was never closed, the output index did not advance, and the answer deltas went to the reasoning item without an output_item.added for the message. With 20 tokens per response, the streamed answer in the issue's example is ' by'.
The change:
_generate_streaming_event_harmony feeds the tokens to the adapter one at a time and runs the existing per-token logic (now in _generate_harmony_token_events) after each, so a response with N tokens produces the events of N one-token responses. Consecutive deltas of one content part are then sent as one event, as HarmonyStreamState.process_token_batch does for Chat Completions.
The EXPECT_START check reads parser.current_channel first. parser.state serializes every token of the current message to JSON, and the parser only reports a channel while it is inside a message, so the result is the same and the check no longer costs more as the message grows.
HarmonyStreamState.process_token_batch_to_messages reuses the converted messages until a batch contains one of the parser's stop tokens, the only tokens that complete a message, instead of converting all messages on every call.
An item's done events now carry the item's own output index: the index advances after them, as _close_open_item does on the non-Harmony path. Before, they carried the next item's index (with one token per response too), and a later item's done events could share an index with the following item's output_item.added. With several tokens per response, the first commit reaches this code at every message boundary, so it is fixed here (CodeRabbit's review).
A preamble (a commentary message without a recipient) no longer advances the output index. It is neither streamed nor an item of the final response, so every later item was announced one index past its position there, with one token per response too (CodeRabbit's second review). Tool calls and empty messages still advance it: they are not announced while streaming, but both are items of the final response.
With one token per response, the events are the same as before except for output_index: each done event's is one lower, and every index after a preamble is one lower per preceding preamble. A response that carries no new tokens now produces no events; before, it sent the previous token's delta again or, right after a message ended, that message's done events at the next output index. An empty analysis or final message still gets done events without an output_item.added, as before.
Benchmark
CPU only. The real ResponsesStreamingProcessor streams one gpt-oss turn (analysis, then the answer); the table shows the time spent in process_single_output per request, main e8e94448b against this change, median of 5 runs after a warmup. Intel Xeon Platinum 8352Y, CPython 3.12.3, one pinned core per process. On main, 20 tokens per response loses events, so that cost is only a reference.

Test Coverage
New tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_responses_harmony_streaming.py (cpu_only, uses the harmony_vocab fixture, registered in l0_cpu.yml):
the client-visible events (deltas of one content part joined, sequence numbers ignored) with 2, 3 and 20 tokens per response equal those with one token per response, for reasoning then answer, preamble then tool call, preamble then answer, and an answer cut off by the token limit;
with 20 tokens per response the whole reasoning and answer are streamed, with at most one delta event per content part in each response;
every event of an item, from output_item.added to output_item.done, carries the item's output index, which is the item's position in the final response, and every item except an answer cut off by the token limit gets its done events, with 1 and 20 tokens per response;
a response without new tokens sends no events and does not change the later ones;
process_token_batch_to_messages returns the parser's messages after every batch, for batches of 1, 2 and 5 tokens.
This branch: 29 passed. Main: 25 failed, 4 passed. The first commit of this PR fails the 8 output-index cases, the second the 2 preamble_then_answer ones.
Existing test_harmony_parsing.py, test_harmony_channel_validation.py and test_responses_{streaming_events,streaming_tool_calls,stream_final_consistency,usage,custom_tools,store_replay,input_preprocess,deepseek_v41_namespaces}.py under tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/: 402 passed, 3 skipped, 7 failed, the same on main and on this branch. The 7 failures come from the local setup (a stubbed native timing type in test_responses_usage.py, a missing tokenizer checkpoint for the DeepSeek-V4.1 case).
Randomized differential check, not part of the PR: 3,000 random gpt-oss outputs (reasoning, preambles, tool calls on both channels, final answers, multi-byte text, truncation, and stray tokens the parser rejects; 189,276 tokens in total). One token per response: up to the second commit, the same events as main in 3,000/3,000 cases once main's done events (7,605) are moved one output index down; the last commit changes only output_index values, in 386 cases, each with a preamble before a later message. 1-25 random tokens per response: the same client-visible events as one token per response in 3,000/3,000 cases with this change, and in 820/3,000 on main. Every event of an announced item carries that item's output index in all 6,000 streams with this change. That index is the item's position in the final response in 5,396 of the 5,398 streams whose final response can be built (2,353/2,699 on main with one token per response); the other two come from one output in which a stray <|start|> makes the final response's parser read a tool call as a tool message.
pre-commit run --files on the four changed files: all hooks passed; Pyrefly reported no diagnostics.
The tests ran locally with pytest --noconftest and an in-process stub for the native bindings, because this machine has no GPU or TensorRT-LLM build. Not run: GPU tests, including the gpt-oss streaming cases in tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/_test_openai_responses.py.

Walkthrough
Harmony streaming processes response tokens individually, coalesces matching text or reasoning deltas, and updates output-item indices at message boundaries. The adapter caches converted parser messages and invalidates the cache when a batch contains a stop token. CPU tests compare streamed events across batch sizes.

Layer / File(s)
Summary
Message caching and token event generation tensorrt_llm/serve/harmony_adapter.py, tensorrt_llm/serve/responses_utils.py
The adapter caches converted parser messages and invalidates the cache when a batch contains a stop token. Responses streaming processes each token separately, merges adjacent deltas with matching type and indices, and updates output indices at item boundaries.
Streaming and parser-state validation tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_responses_harmony_streaming.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml
CPU tests compare client-visible events across batch sizes, check delta content and item indices, verify empty responses emit no events, and compare converted messages with parser messages. The test module is added to the CPU integration list.
The change makes streamed events consistent across token batch sizes and fixes the output indices. Two known gaps remain, both pre-existing and acknowledged by the author as out of scope: item IDs differ between streamed events and the final response, and the final item may not be closed if the stop token is trimmed. Clients that key on item IDs or require every item to be closed could still be affected, so owner awareness is advised.

The title follows the repository template: it has the issue reference [#22109], the type [fix], and a summary.

Explanation
The description follows the template. It explains the problem and the fix in detail, covering the per-token processing, the EXPECT_START check, the message caching, output index changes, and preamble handling. It gives a benchmark and a Test Coverage section that lists the new tests and their results. The description says the author ran pre-commit and the checklist box is ticked. It does not state whether the PR needs an api-compatible or api-breaking label. The output_index change on done events is a behavior change that a reviewer may want to check against the API label rule. The 'Fixes #22109' line links the issue. Overall the description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #22109 requires that a Responses API Harmony stream carry the same output for any number of tokens per response. The reasoning and answer deltas must all be streamed, and each item must be announced and closed. The change feeds tokens to the Harmony adapter one at a time and runs the per-token logic after each token (responses_utils.py, _generate_streaming_event_harmony and _generate_harmony_token_events). This removes the dropped deltas that come from reading only last_content_delta and state. The EXPECT_START check now reads current_channel, so a message that ends inside a response opens its own item and advances the output index. Done events carry the item's own output index. A preamble does not advance the index. The new CPU tests in tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_responses_harmony_streaming.py compare client-visible events for 1, 2, 3 and 20 tokens per response across reasoning, answer, preamble, tool call and truncation cases. They also check output indices and item lifecycle events. The PR reports 29 passed on this branch and 25 failed on main. The PR also states that an answer cut off by the token limit receives no done events. The issue's reproduction does not cover that case, and the PR objectives mark it out of scope, so it does not fail this check. GPU streaming tests were not run. This assessment relies on the diff summary and PR description; no additional code inspection was performed.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changes support the Harmony Responses streaming fix for #22109. responses_utils.py contains the per-token streaming logic, output index handling, and preamble handling for the Harmony path. harmony_adapter.py adds a stop-token-based cache in HarmonyStreamState.process_token_batch_to_messages, which the streaming path uses to avoid repeated message conversion. The new test file and its registration in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml provide regression coverage for the change. The PR does not change Chat Completions behavior, and it leaves the #22043 parser-rejection behavior alone. The PR states that the truncation and finish-state done-event gap is also present on main and is a separate follow-up. No unrelated production behavior appears in the summary. This assessment relies on the diff summary; no additional code inspection was performed.

Add a regression test for an empty token diff after message completion.
Skipping this loop intentionally suppresses repeated done events when a response contains no new tokens. The new tests always add tokens, so they do not protect this behavior.
In tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_responses_harmony_streaming.py, complete a message, then process the same output with _last_token_ids_len == len(token_ids). Assert that processing returns no events and leaves the output index unchanged.

Advance the index only for an emitted item.
For an analysis message followed by recipient-less commentary and a final message, the commentary emits no item but still advances the index. The final message is then streamed at index 2, while the final response contains only two items at indices 0 and 1. Advance the index only when an output item was emitted.

Confirmed: with analysis, a preamble and a final answer, the answer was announced at output index 2 while the final response lists it at 1 (main does the same with one token per response). Fixed in a0372d4: the index no longer advances after a commentary message without a recipient.
I kept the increment for every other message rather than tying it to an emitted item: tool calls and empty messages are never announced on this path, but _parse_output_message_harmony turns both into items of the final response, so the items after them would land one index too low.
test_item_events_carry_the_item_output_index now checks each streamed item's index and type against the final response (new preamble_then_answer case; it fails on 38f2329) and that every item gets its done events except an answer cut off by the token limit, which covers the nitpick on that test.
The outside-diff finding about empty item_ids on the Harmony path is valid too, and also predates this PR. With two reasoning items in one response, the OpenAI SDK's stream accumulator (openai 3.49) rejects the stream because of it. Minting an id per item, as _start_item does, would fix that, but response.completed would still carry different ids, since _create_output_content_harmony doesn't reuse the streamed ones, and empty messages get done events without being opened. That needs its own change, so I've left it out of this PR.

- Line 2893: Update the output.token_ids_diff processing path to receive the
response completion state and close the open item when generation is complete,
even if stop-token trimming leaves the final token difference empty. Add a test
covering stop-token removal before the final response and verify the item
receives its done events.
- Line 2982: Assign a distinct ID when each Harmony item opens, then reuse that
same ID for its streaming events and in the final response instead of generating
a new one. Update the Harmony streaming test to assert ID consistency and
normalize IDs when comparing separate streams.

Notes on CodeRabbit's review of a0372d4. Both findings are outside the diff, so there is no thread to answer in.
Closing the open item when generation finishes: reproduced on CPU. If the answer's <|return|> never reaches token_ids_diff, the answer gets no done events, and the OpenAI SDK's stream accumulator (openai 3.49) raises "Cannot complete response with unfinished output items" at response.completed. Main behaves the same, and in that last, empty response it also re-sends the previous delta, which this PR stops. The Responses path lists <|return|> and <|call|> as stop tokens, and the executor trims a stop-word token unless include_stop_str_in_output is set; I couldn't check on a GPU whether gpt-oss requests actually finish that way. A fix needs the finish state in this path and a decision on what an answer cut off by the token limit should receive (the non-Harmony path closes it too), so I'd rather do it in a separate change than in this PR.
Could you please rebase this branch onto the latest upstream main to include the CI hang fix in #22101 (6edbe383497a)? The current branch still contains the regression that can cause pipelines to hang for an extended period and worsen CI queueing
…i-token Harmony response
_generate_streaming_event_harmony fed all tokens of a response to the
Harmony parser at once and then read parser.last_content_delta and
parser.state, which describe only the last token. With stream_interval > 1
(20 in every gpt-oss config under examples/configs) or accepted draft
tokens, the other tokens' deltas were lost, and a message that ended inside
a response got no done events, so the next item was never announced.
Parse the tokens one at a time and send consecutive deltas of one content
part as one event. To keep the per-token cost low, skip parser.state (it
serializes every token of the current message) while a channel is open,
and reuse the converted messages until a stop token adds one.

…own output index
The done events of a Harmony item were built after output_index_increment(),
so they carried the next item's index, and a later item's done events could
share an index with the following item's output_item.added. Main already did
this with one token per response; with the previous commit it also happens at
every message boundary inside a multi-token response. Advance the index after
the done events, as _close_open_item does on the non-Harmony path.
Tests: every event of an item carries the item's output index, and a response
without new tokens sends no events and does not shift later ones.

…output index
A preamble (a commentary message without a recipient) is neither streamed
nor an item of the final response, but the output index still advanced
after it, so every later item was streamed one index past its position in
the final response. Main does the same with one token per response. Tool
calls and empty messages still advance it: neither is announced while
streaming, but both are items of the final response.
Tests: each streamed item's output index and type match the final
response, and every item except an answer cut off by the token limit gets
its done events.

Fixes #22109.
_generate_streaming_event_harmony(Responses API, gpt-oss) passed all tokens of a response to the Harmony parser in one call and then readparser.last_content_deltaandparser.state. Both describe only the last token. A response carries several tokens withstream_interval > 1(all 114 gpt-oss configs underexamples/configsuse 20) and when draft tokens are accepted. In that case the deltas of the other tokens were dropped. A message that ended inside a response (the analysis<|end|>followed by the final channel's header, for instance) also left the parser pastEXPECT_START, so the reasoning item was never closed, the output index did not advance, and the answer deltas went to the reasoning item without anoutput_item.addedfor the message. With 20 tokens per response, the streamed answer in the issue's example is' by'.The change:
_generate_streaming_event_harmonyfeeds the tokens to the adapter one at a time and runs the existing per-token logic (now in_generate_harmony_token_events) after each, so a response with N tokens produces the events of N one-token responses. Consecutive deltas of one content part are then sent as one event, asHarmonyStreamState.process_token_batchdoes for Chat Completions.EXPECT_STARTcheck readsparser.current_channelfirst.parser.stateserializes every token of the current message to JSON, and the parser only reports a channel while it is inside a message, so the result is the same and the check no longer costs more as the message grows.HarmonyStreamState.process_token_batch_to_messagesreuses the converted messages until a batch contains one of the parser's stop tokens, the only tokens that complete a message, instead of converting all messages on every call._close_open_itemdoes on the non-Harmony path. Before, they carried the next item's index (with one token per response too), and a later item's done events could share an index with the following item'soutput_item.added. With several tokens per response, the first commit reaches this code at every message boundary, so it is fixed here (CodeRabbit's review).With one token per response, the events are the same as before except for
output_index: each done event's is one lower, and every index after a preamble is one lower per preceding preamble. A response that carries no new tokens now produces no events; before, it sent the previous token's delta again or, right after a message ended, that message's done events at the next output index. An empty analysis or final message still gets done events without anoutput_item.added, as before.Benchmark

The 7 failures come from the local setup (a stubbed native timing type intest_responses_usage.py, a missing tokenizer checkpoint for the DeepSeek-V4.1 case).Randomized differential check, not part of the PR: 3,000 random gpt-oss outputs (reasoning, preambles, tool calls on both channels, final answers, multi-byte text, truncation, and stray tokens the parser rejects; 189,276 tokens in total). One token per response: up to the second commit, the same events as main in 3,000/3,000 cases once main's done events (7,605) are moved one output index down; the last commit changes only

Every event of an announced item carries that item's output index in all 6,000 streams with this change. That index is the item's position in the final response in 5,396 of the 5,398 streams whose final response can be built (2,353/2,699 on main with one token per response); the other two come from one output in which a stray<|start|>makes the final response's parser read a tool call as a tool message.pre-commit run --fileson the four changed files: all hooks passed; Pyrefly reported no diagnostics.The tests ran locally with
