From da5420fa07a172a3add5933d320be7937be3afa4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: majdyz Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:39:04 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(backend/copilot): coalesce reasoning deltas to unfreeze Kimi streams MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Observed symptom: copilot page frozen for ~700 s on a session using the new Kimi K2.6 default. Redis `XLEN chat:stream:...` showed 4,677 reasoning-delta chunks in a single turn vs ~28 for peer Sonnet sessions. Each chunk was one Redis xadd + one SSE frame + one React re-render of the non-virtualised chat list, which paint-stormed the main thread until the stream ended. OpenRouter's Kimi endpoint tokenises reasoning at a much finer grain than Anthropic, so the 1:1 chunk→`StreamReasoningDelta` mapping in BaselineReasoningEmitter blew up on the wire while the same code was fine for Sonnet. Fix: coalesce `StreamReasoningDelta` emissions in the emitter. * First chunk in a block still emits Start + Delta atomically so the Reasoning collapse renders immediately. * Subsequent chunks buffer into `_pending_delta` and flush once either the char-size (`_COALESCE_MIN_CHARS=32`) or time (`_COALESCE_MAX_INTERVAL_MS=40`) threshold trips. `close()` always drains the tail before emitting `StreamReasoningEnd`. * DB persistence stays per-chunk — `_current_row.content` updates on every delta independent of the coalesce window, so a crash mid-turn still persists the full reasoning-so-far. * Thresholds are `__init__` kwargs so tests can disable coalescing for deterministic state-machine assertions. Net effect: ~4,700 → ~150 events per turn (30x), well under the browser's paint-storm threshold; reasoning still appears live at ~25 Hz (40 ms window) which is below human perception. Pre-existing issues flagged for follow-up (out of scope — the freeze is gone without them): * `ChatMessagesContainer` has no React.memo per message and no list virtualisation — a very long session still re-renders every prior message on each new chunk. * `routes.py:1163-1171` replays from `0-0` with `count=1000` on every SSE reconnect (6 reconnects observed), duplicating up to 6,000 chunks. Proper Last-Event-ID support requires threading Redis stream message IDs through every SSE event + a frontend handshake — material refactor deferred to a dedicated PR. --- .../backend/copilot/baseline/reasoning.py | 89 +++++++++++++-- .../copilot/baseline/reasoning_test.py | 107 +++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 183 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/baseline/reasoning.py b/autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/baseline/reasoning.py index 0e408e17cc..e5f941b805 100644 --- a/autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/baseline/reasoning.py +++ b/autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/baseline/reasoning.py @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ This module keeps the wire-level concerns in one place: from __future__ import annotations import logging +import time import uuid from typing import Any @@ -42,6 +43,19 @@ logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) _VISIBLE_REASONING_TYPES = frozenset({"reasoning.text", "reasoning.summary"}) +# Coalescing thresholds for ``StreamReasoningDelta`` emission.
