From 61d2a4a9b8a03fa10564ab0e05f0786c55a6cd70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Carberry Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:35:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix(site): preserve streaming output when queued message is sent (#23595) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Problem When the user sends a message while the agent is actively streaming a response, `handleSend` called `store.clearStreamState()` **unconditionally before** the POST request. If the server queues the message (`response.queued = true` because the agent is busy), the in-progress stream output is immediately wiped from the UI. The full text only reappears once the agent finishes and the durable message arrives via WebSocket — causing a visible cutoff mid-stream. ## Fix Move `clearStreamState()` from before the POST to **after** the response, gated behind `!response.queued`: - **Queued sends** (`response.queued === true`): `clearStreamState()` is never called. The stream continues uninterrupted. The WebSocket `status` handler already clears stream state when the chat transitions to `"pending"` / `"waiting"` after the queued message is dequeued. - **Non-queued sends** (`response.queued === false`): `clearStreamState()` + `upsertDurableMessage()` fire immediately after the POST, same net behavior as before. - **Edit and promote paths**: Unchanged — those are intentional interruptions where eager clearing is correct. ### Additional behavior changes (both improvements) 1. **Failed sends no longer wipe stream state.** Previously `clearStreamState()` ran before the `try` block, so a network error still wiped the agent's in-progress output. Now the `catch` re-throws before reaching `clearStreamState()`, preserving the stream on failure. 2. **`clearStreamState()` fires for all non-queued responses**, not just those with a `message` body. The original guard was `!response.queued && response.message`; now `clearStreamState()` is under `!response.queued` while `upsertDurableMessage` retains the `response.message` check. The server always sets `message` for non-queued responses, so this is a no-op in practice but is semantically correct. ## Testing **AgentDetail.stories.tsx**: New `StreamingSurvivesQueuedSend` story exercises the full flow — mocks `createChatMessage` to return `{ queued: true }`, delivers streaming text via WebSocket, sends a message through the UI, and asserts the streaming text remains visible. --- .../pages/AgentsPage/AgentDetail.stories.tsx | 138 ++++++++++++++++++ site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentDetail.tsx | 22 +-- 2 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentDetail.stories.tsx b/site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentDetail.stories.tsx index d1f2bcc6f7..966c2dbdf2 100644 --- a/site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentDetail.stories.tsx +++ b/site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentDetail.stories.tsx @@ -1043,3 +1043,141 @@ export const StreamedReasoning: Story = { ).resolves.toBeInTheDocument(); }, }; + +/** + * Validates that text currently being streamed via WebSocket is not lost + * when the user sends a follow-up message and the server responds with a + * queued acknowledgement.
