fix(ai, ai-client): stream durable responses live and hydrate once in Strict Mode - #1620
Conversation
With `durability` set, a chunk reached the client only after its batch was appended, and a batch was appended only at 32 chunks or the run end. A short reply showed up all at once at the end. The batch now also flushes when the producer sends no new chunk for `batchWaitMs` (default 50ms). `batch` stays the most chunks in one append. Set `batchWaitMs` on `durability` or on `toWebSocketStream`. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01APYv1qshKyjPPpkFyRZhfZ
React Strict Mode runs mount effects twice in dev: attach, detach, attach. Each attach of a `persistence: true` chat sent its own hydrate GET. A re-attach now reuses the GET that is still in flight, and that GET still paints the view when it returns. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01APYv1qshKyjPPpkFyRZhfZ
`/durable-persistence` in ts-react-chat runs `persistence: true` with a durable POST. Switches turn on the old batching and a slow model, and a counter shows how text chunks arrive. Reload mid-answer to see the run continue. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01APYv1qshKyjPPpkFyRZhfZ

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The change makes durable streams flush buffered text on a timer, and it ends the response cleanly if a timed append fails. No merge-blocking risk is evident from the supplied review material. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Normal streaming preserves persistence-before-delivery, and hydration reuse retains its stale-result guards. However, timed flushing introduces failure paths that can delay durable-run cleanup or leave a source rejection temporarily unhandled. The new API is explicitly a demo and does not enforce user ownership; its deployment exposure is unknown. Retained concerns

- Around line 574-603: In the `settlesWithin` timeout-flush path, abort
`abortController` with the flush error before rethrowing it if the signal is not
already aborted. This ensures a failed `flush()` does not leave the pending
producer pull running while `iterator.return()` waits.

A timed flush runs while the next chunk is still pending. If its append failed, the producer awaited `return()` on the source, and an async generator runs that only after its pending pull. So RUN_ERROR and the log close waited for the model's next chunk, maybe forever. After a failed timed flush, close the source in the background. The failure path then persists RUN_ERROR and ends the response at once. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01APYv1qshKyjPPpkFyRZhfZ
With
durabilityontoServerSentEventsResponse,toHttpResponseor the WebSocket stream, live text stopped streaming: a reply came in lumps of 32 chunks, and a short reply came all at once at the end. This PR flushes the durability batch when the model sends no new chunk forbatchWaitMs(default 50ms), so text streams again withoutbatch: 1. It also fixes a second bug: apersistence: truechat sent two hydrateGETs when it mounted in React Strict Mode.🎯 Changes
@tanstack/ai: the durable producer flushes a non-empty batch when the next chunk does not arrive withinbatchWaitMs.batchstays the most chunks in oneappend. A burst of chunks still goes in oneappend, so a remote log (durableStream) does not get one write per token. If a timed flush fails while the next chunk is pending, the run still ends withRUN_ERRORat once.@tanstack/ai: newbatchWaitMsoption ondurability(SSE and NDJSON) and ontoWebSocketStream/toWebSocketResponse. Values from 0 to 2147483647 are valid. Other values throw, the same way a badbatchdoes.@tanstack/ai-client:attach()reuses a hydrateGETthat is still in flight.

Root cause
Bug 1: durable text arrives in lumps
Issue. Any app that passes
durabilityto a response helper. Live text arrives in lumps of 32 chunks, and a reply with fewer than 32 chunks shows up only atRUN_FINISHED.batch: 1hides it, at one log write per chunk.Cause.
durableStreamSourcesends a chunk to the client only after its batch is appended to the log, so that a reconnect can replay what the client saw. Before this PR, it appended a batch only when 32 chunks were waiting or at a flush boundary (RUN_STARTED,TOOL_CALL_END, terminals, mostCUSTOMevents). Text chunks waited while the model was still working. This has been the behavior since resumable streams were added (#955), so it is not a regression from a recent merge.Fix. The producer loop now reads the source by hand. Before it waits for the next chunk, it races that chunk against the batch deadline (
batchWaitMsafter the first buffered chunk). If the deadline wins, the batch is appended and sent first. Thefinallycloses the source on an early exit, likefor awaitdid.Bug 2: two hydrate
GETs in Strict ModeIssue. A
useChat({ persistence: true })chat that mounts on the client in dev sends the hydrateGETtwice.Cause.
ChatClient.attach()callshydrateFromServer()each time. Strict Mode replays a client mount's effects: attach, detach, attach.detach()does not cancel the firstGET, so the secondattach()sent another one. A chat hydrated from the server render gets no replay, which is why the existing E2E page did not show it.Fix.
ChatClientremembers thehistoryGenerationof the hydrateGETin flight.attach()skips a newGETwhile one for the same generation is still out. ThatGETpaints the view, because a view is attached again when it returns. Afterclear(), a re-attach still starts a freshGET.Possible alternatives
batchto 1. Every chunk is sent at once. This PR did not take it, because a remote log would get one write per token.id:that the log does not have yet, and exact resume breaks.batchWaitMs: 0). Zero added latency, but almost one write per token from a real model. It is still possible withbatchWaitMs: 0.GETindetach(). The Strict Mode remount would still send a secondGET. This PR did not take it.GenerationClient). A real view switch must hydrate again to see new turns, so this PR keeps oneGETper attach and only reuses the one in flight.Testing
