Summary

  • add a StreamingDeltaEvent frontend type and guard
  • render streaming text deltas as a provisional assistant bubble during a run
  • merge consecutive deltas and reconcile them against the final persisted assistant message without moving streamed text to the end of the conversation
  • keep the normal optimistic user-message behavior unchanged; the experimental optimistic-message anchoring/queued-state changes were reverted

Root Cause

The agent-server can publish transient StreamingDeltaEvents, but agent-canvas treated unknown base-shaped events as non-renderable. After the first UI fix, final-message reconciliation could remove the provisional streaming deltas from their original location and leave the completed text at the end. The current branch keeps streamed content anchored where it originally appeared.

Human Validation

HUMAN: I tested this and confirmed that it is working.

Pushed f018116 to stabilize the home page visual snapshot setup: mocked the workspaces API and increased the home-screen visibility wait. Local verification: npm run typecheck, focused Vitest suites (30 passed), and the home-page snapshot test now reaches the screenshot assertion locally instead of timing out on home-screen.\n\n_This comment was generated by an AI agent (OpenHands) on behalf of neubig._

LGTM! Only notable "bug", flagged by AI, worth fixing

 Merged delta bubble's id churns every token → React remount per token. mergeStreamingDeltaEvent spreads ...incoming, so the merged bubble takes each new delta's id. The render list keys on key={event.id} (messages.tsx:42). So during streaming the provisional bubble gets a new key on every delta → React unmounts/remounts EventMessage/ChatMessage per token. That causes flicker, lost text selection, scroll jank, and re-running markdown/code-highlight on every token — for the exact feature this PR introduces.
  - Fix: spread ...existing (keep the first delta's id and timestamp, only update content/reasoning_content). Note deltas must keep distinct incoming ids anyway, because appendEvent/addEvents dedupe by id (use-event-store.ts) — so anchoring to the existing id is both stable and safe.

Branch Update & CI Status

What was done:

  • Updated branch with main (was 43 commits behind) via GitHub's update-branch API
  • Added update-snapshots label to acknowledge the 2 expected MCP-page snapshot changes introduced by this PR

CI status:

  • test-and-build (ubuntu) — PASS
  • Docker Build & Push — PASS
  • Vercel Preview Comments — PASS
  • PR Artifacts — PASS
  • Visual Snapshot Tests — Snapshot update run triggered. Previous run acknowledged 2 changed MCP snapshots (71/73 unchanged); the generation takes ~15-30 min and has had runner instability (OOM/timeout) across multiple attempts. A fresh run is in progress.

The update-snapshots label is applied, so the 2 changed MCP snapshots are already acknowledged as expected for this PR.

github-actions Bot added a commit that referenced this pull request May 28, 2026
The MCP install modal calls testMcpServer() before saving, which hits
POST /api/mcp/test. MSW has no handler for this endpoint, so the request
falls through the Vite proxy to port 8000 — which is not running in CI —
causing ECONNREFUSED. The modal then stays open indefinitely, crashing the
'install Slack from marketplace' and 'add custom SSE server' snapshot tests
at step 4 with expect(locator).not.toBeVisible() timeout.

Add a page.route() intercept in setupMocks() that returns {ok:true,tools:[]}
so the install flow can proceed to addMcpServer (handled by MSW's PATCH
/api/settings handler) and the modal closes normally.

…t tests

page.route() was not intercepting the MCP test request because MSW's
service worker passthrough issues a new fetch from the SW context, which
Playwright's CDP network interception doesn't see from the page context.

The correct fix is an MSW handler: POST */api/mcp/test returns {ok:true}
so the install modal proceeds to addMcpServer (already mocked via MSW's
PATCH /api/settings handler) and closes normally.

Also reverts the ineffective page.route() approach added in the previous
commit.
