[#22112][fix] Release the Harmony stream state when a streamed request ends - #22114
Adds Harmony state cleanup for completed, failed, and disconnected chat and Responses streams.
Preserves post-processing exceptions after cleanup.
The Responses generator yields initial events before entering its try/finally block. A disconnect during initial-event delivery can still leak state.
Executor ErrorResponse paths bypass the post-processor. Their worker state can remain.
QA Engineer Review
Adds tests/unittest/serve/test_harmony_stream_state.py with five parametrized test cases.
Covers completed Responses streams with frontend and post-process workers, Responses and chat disconnects, and post-processing failure with ValueError("malformed output").
No test-db/ or manual-QA list entry applies to this unit-test file.
Reported checks: targeted tests passed 227 cases with 1 skipped; pre-commit passed. The serve suite reported 92 passed, 11 failures, and 3 errors matching main due to environment limits. GPU and end-to-end tests were not run.
Coverage verdict: needs follow-up for initial-event disconnects and executor ErrorResponse handling.
Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/serve/openai_server.py: Verify cleanup on normal completion, post-processing errors, and client disconnects. Verify initial Responses events do not precede the cleanup guard.
tensorrt_llm/serve/postprocess_handlers.py: Verify cleanup after final processing and exceptions while preserving the original exception. Verify executor ErrorResponse behavior.
tensorrt_llm/serve/responses_utils.py: Verify Harmony-only cleanup and safe repeated calls.
tests/unittest/serve/test_harmony_stream_state.py: Covers completion, worker usage, disconnects, and post-processing failure. No integration test-list entry applies.
Description
Every streamed /v1/responses request on a Harmony (gpt-oss) server leaves its parser state in the process-wide HarmonyAdapter. _generate_streaming_event_harmony creates a HarmonyStreamState under responses-api-<request_id>, and nothing on the Responses path calls cleanup_stream_state. A state holds every token and message of its request, so memory grows with the number of streamed requests (about 44 KiB per 4K-token response, see #22112). Chat Completions releases the state when the stream finishes or fails (handle_streaming_response), but not when the client disconnects: without postprocess workers, the post-processor runs inside the streaming generator, which is closed before the final result is post-processed.
This change:
adds ResponsesStreamingProcessor.cleanup_stream_state(), which drops the stream's Harmony state (it does nothing without Harmony);
calls it from responses_api_streaming_post_processor after the final result and when post-processing raises, as handle_streaming_response does for chat. The post-processor runs in the process that holds the state: the frontend, or the postprocess worker that handled the request. When a client disconnects, the frontend aborts the request and the worker still post-processes the final, cancelled result;
releases the state in a finally block of the Responses and Harmony chat streaming generators, for a client that disconnects mid-stream. With postprocess workers the frontend holds no state, and the call does nothing;
serves Harmony chat streams with ClosingStreamingResponse, as the Responses route already does. A plain StreamingResponse leaves its iterator suspended when a send fails, so that finally block ran only when the generator was garbage-collected.
Not covered: with postprocess workers, an executor ErrorResponse takes the worker's error path without calling the post-processor, so that request's state stays in the worker on both endpoints. Releasing it needs a hook in PostprocWorker; I kept this change to the serve layer.
The change touches different lines of responses_utils.py than #22110 and merges cleanly with it.

Test Coverage
New tests/unittest/serve/test_harmony_stream_state.py (cpu_only, collected through the unittest/serve entry in l0_cpu.yml). It builds the server with isolated_serve_env and the scripted fake generator, and checks that the state is released when a Responses stream finishes (with and without postprocess workers), when a Responses client and a chat client disconnect mid-stream (the send of a frame fails), and when Responses post-processing raises. All five tests fail on main and pass with this change; with a plain StreamingResponse on the chat route, the chat disconnect test fails.
tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_responses_stream_final_consistency.py, test_responses_streaming_events.py, test_responses_usage.py, test_harmony_parsing.py, test_harmony_channel_validation.py, test_anthropic_routes.py, test_serving_extensions.py, test_render_http.py and tests/unittest/api_stability/test_serve_api.py: 399 passed, 27 skipped, and the same 12 failures as on main (the stubbed native get_smem_capacity_in_bytes in this environment).
tests/unittest/serve/: 92 passed with this change and 87 on main; the difference is the five new tests. The 11 failures and 3 errors are identical on both and come from this environment (optional modules such as uvloop and prometheus_fastapi_instrumentator are not installed, and the object.__new__ ratchet reports only files outside this change).
pre-commit run --files on the four files: all hooks passed, including yapf, isort, Ruff, ruff-format, ruff-legacy, codespell and Pyrefly (no diagnostics).
Local test runs used --noconftest with in-process stubs for the native bindings and a monotonic clock in place of the stubbed steady clock. This machine has no GPU or TensorRT-LLM build. Not run: GPU tests and end-to-end serving.

…request ends
The Responses API never called cleanup_stream_state, so every streamed
Responses request on a Harmony (gpt-oss) server left its parser state,
with every token of the request, in the process-wide HarmonyAdapter.
Chat Completions released it when the stream finished or failed, but
not when the client disconnected: without postprocess workers, the
generator that runs the post-processor is closed before the final
result.
ResponsesStreamingProcessor.cleanup_stream_state() drops the state.
responses_api_streaming_post_processor calls it after the final result
and when post-processing raises, in the process that holds the state
(the frontend or the postprocess worker). The Responses and Harmony chat
streaming generators also release the state in a finally block, which
covers a client that disconnects mid-stream.
AI assistance (Cursor) was used for this change.

Streamed Harmony Responses and chat requests now clean up parser state when streams complete or close. Responses post-processing also cleans up state when processing raises an exception.
Changes

Summary
Cleanup helper and post-processing tensorrt_llm/serve/responses_utils.py, tensorrt_llm/serve/postprocess_handlers.py
ResponsesStreamingProcessor.cleanup_stream_state() cleans up Harmony parser state when Harmony is enabled. Responses post-processing calls cleanup after successful completion and when processing or final-response generation raises, then re-raises the exception.
Stream lifecycle integration and tests tensorrt_llm/serve/openai_server.py, tests/unittest/serve/test_harmony_stream_state.py
Streamed Responses and chat paths clean up state when iteration ends or closes. CPU-only tests check cleanup after completion, client closure, and post-processing errors. They also check that the error propagates.
This change releases per-request Harmony parser state when streamed chat and Responses requests finish, fail, or disconnect, which reduces memory growth in long-running servers. One pre-existing gap remains: with postprocess workers, an executor error after a partial stream can still leave state in the worker process. That is worth a follow-up but does not block this PR.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 3b5a3
The change improves cleanup, but ending one stream can reset another active stream when callers reuse an identifier. Identifier collisions were already unsafe; the new deletion path adds a bounded ownership hazard for requests handled by the same process.
Retained concerns
Low · security · inferred: New Responses cleanup deletes parser state using only the caller-derived request identifier. When two active streams share that identifier in the same process, completion, failure, or delayed finalization of one can delete state still used by the other; its next token batch then creates a fresh parser. Colliding requests already shared parser state before this PR, which limits the incremental security impact, but the new destructive lifecycle action has no stream-ownership check.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified ownership hazard requires Harmony Responses streams with matching identifiers in the same parser-owning process. A caller needs endpoint access and a matching chosen or known identifier. Random default identifiers limit accidental collisions and guessing; process-local storage bounds deletion to that process.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A matching-ID stream can terminate while another remains active, causing the new cleanup to delete their shared entry. The remaining stream then recreates an empty parser, potentially losing parsing continuity. The base already allowed same-ID streams to share token-processing state; the incremental issue is destructive cleanup, not evidence of newly enabled data access or privilege escalation.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The response-wrapper change occurs after existing request checks and generation setup. Chat template restrictions and Responses internal-disaggregation validation remain before generation; the diff does not alter those controls.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The shared response class shields iterator closure during response finalization, and adapter cleanup tolerates an absent key. This supports repeated terminal cleanup for a uniquely owned key, but does not provide ownership-safe idempotency when a key is reused by another stream.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Separate the externally supplied response identifier from a server-owned internal stream identity, or require an ownership token when deleting state. Preserve that identity across worker serialization so delayed or repeated cleanup cannot remove a newer stream's state.

The state assertion at Line 117 runs after asyncio.run() finalizes pending asynchronous generators. If frames.aclose() fails to close an inner Responses generator, loop shutdown can still release the state and make this test pass.
Move the cleanup assertion immediately after await frames.aclose(). This checks prompt cleanup on the long-lived server loop.

A client that disconnects while a frame is being sent leaves the
iterator of a plain StreamingResponse suspended at its yield, so the
finally block that releases the Harmony stream state ran only when the
generator was garbage-collected. Serve Harmony chat streams with
ClosingStreamingResponse, as the Responses route already does.
The disconnect tests now serve the response to a client whose send
fails, instead of closing the iterator themselves.

Release worker-side state on executor errors.
With classic IPC and postprocess workers enabled, an executor error after a partial Harmony stream bypasses the post-processor. The worker can retain one parser state per failed request until restart; frontend cleanup cannot release it.
This leak predates the PR. As a follow-up, add worker-side cleanup in PostprocWorker before it removes the record, and test an error after a partial stream.

Review comment at @tensorrt_llm/serve/openai_server.py at line 3230:
Update PostprocWorker’s executor-error handling to release the Harmony parser state for the failed request before removing its record, including when an error follows a partial stream; add a test covering that partial-stream error path.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test ASGI 2.3 disconnect cancellation.
The disconnect tests cover an ASGI 2.4 send failure only. ASGI 2.3 uses cancellation, so a regression in that cleanup path could pass these tests. Add a test that disconnects after a chat frame under ASGI 2.3 and checks that the state is released.
As per path instructions: “For each new or materially changed observable behavior,” check for meaningful test coverage.
