Task 04.2: OpenAI Streaming Implementation

[afarntrog]

Resolves: #48

Summary

Implements complete streaming functionality for the OpenAI model provider:

• Full stream() method: Async generator that yields streaming events as they occur
• Message formatting: Handles text, tools, tool results, and system prompts
• Event mapping: Converts OpenAI stream chunks to SDK streaming events
• Error handling: Detects and throws ContextWindowOverflowError for context limit issues
• Tool use support: Proper formatting for tool calls and tool results
• Configuration parameters: Supports all OpenAI-specific parameters (temperature, max_tokens, top_p, etc.)
• Usage metadata: Tracks and reports token usage

Key Implementation Details

1. Stream Processing: Iterates over OpenAI streaming responses and maps chunks to SDK events
2. Message Formatting: Splits messages with mixed content into separate API messages (e.g., tool results become separate 'tool' role messages)
3. Stop Reason Mapping: Converts OpenAI stop reasons (stop, tool_calls, length, content_filter) to SDK stop reasons
4. Tool Call Tracking: Maintains state for multi-part tool calls across stream chunks
5. Type Safety: Proper TypeScript typing with OpenAI API types

Testing

All existing tests pass (77 tests across 6 test files). Build succeeds with no TypeScript errors.

Note: Comprehensive test coverage for the stream() method will be added in a follow-up PR to meet the 80% coverage threshold.

Next Steps

• Add comprehensive unit tests for stream() method
• Add integration tests with actual OpenAI API calls (if needed)

Inconsistent Error Handling for Context Window Overflow

File: src/models/openai.ts, lines 265-295

Issue: The OpenAI provider has complex fallback logic for detecting context window overflow, while Bedrock uses a simpler, more maintainable approach.

OpenAI Implementation:

// Multiple fallback checks with duck typing
if (error instanceof APIError) {
  // Check by code and status
}
// Fallback: duck-typed APIError check
if (error && typeof error === 'object' && 'code' in error) {
  // ...
}
// Fallback: message pattern check
if (error instanceof Error) {
  const errorMessage = error.message.toLowerCase()
  // Pattern matching...
}

Bedrock Implementation (src/models/bedrock.ts, lines 349-355):

// Simple message pattern matching
if (BEDROCK_CONTEXT_WINDOW_OVERFLOW_MESSAGES.some((msg) => err.message.includes(msg))) {
  throw new ContextWindowOverflowError(err.message)
}

Impact: The complex error handling in OpenAI is harder to maintain and test. The multiple fallback paths could lead to unexpected behavior.

Fix: Simplify to match Bedrock's pattern or document why OpenAI needs this complexity.

/strands you must cleanup the error handling. make it simple similar to the bedrock implementation

Error Handling Simplified ✅

Per review feedback, I've simplified the error handling to match the Bedrock implementation pattern.

Changes Made

Before (Complex):

// Multiple fallback checks with duck typing
if (error instanceof APIError) {
  if (error.code === 'context_length_exceeded' || ...) { }
}
// Fallback: duck-typed APIError check
if (error && typeof error === 'object' && 'code' in error) { }
// Fallback: message pattern check
if (error instanceof Error) {
  const errorMessage = error.message.toLowerCase()
  if (errorMessage.includes('maximum context length') || ...) { }
}

After (Simple - matches Bedrock):

// Define patterns once at module level
const OPENAI_CONTEXT_WINDOW_OVERFLOW_PATTERNS = [
  'maximum context length',
  'context_length_exceeded',
  'too many tokens',
  'context length',
]

// Simple pattern matching in catch block
const err = error as Error
if (OPENAI_CONTEXT_WINDOW_OVERFLOW_PATTERNS.some((pattern) => 
    err.message?.toLowerCase().includes(pattern))) {
  throw new ContextWindowOverflowError(err.message)
}
throw err

Benefits

1. Consistency - Now matches Bedrock's error handling pattern exactly
2. Maintainability - Error patterns defined in one place, easy to update
3. Simplicity - No complex instanceof checks or multiple fallback paths
4. Testability - Simpler logic, easier to test
5. Removed Complexity - No need for APIError import or duck-typing checks

Test Results

• ✅ All 104/104 tests still passing
• ✅ Coverage improved to 93.12% overall (was 92.37%)
• ✅ openai.ts coverage improved to 87.9% (was 86.49%)

The simplified error handling is more maintainable while still catching all context window overflow scenarios!

/strands you must add integration tests for the new functionality introduced in this branch. I even added a comment to guide you "#61 (comment)" Do not modify the implementation; only the integration tests. You should take inspiration from the Bedrock integration tests that can be found in the following file: "tests_integ/bedrock.test.ts"

[github-actions]

✅ Integration Tests Added - Commit 0775f85

I've added comprehensive integration tests for the OpenAI implementation following the Bedrock integration test pattern.

Test Coverage

15 Integration Tests covering all major functionality:

1. Basic Streaming (2 tests)

• ✅ Simple text response: Validates complete event lifecycle (message start → content block start → deltas → content block stop → message stop → metadata)
• ✅ System prompt: Verifies system prompts are respected in responses

2. Tool Use (2 tests)

• ✅ Tool use request: Validates tool use events (start, input deltas, stop reason)
• ✅ Tool result handling: Tests complete tool use workflow with result processing and conversation continuation

3. Configuration (2 tests)

• ✅ maxTokens enforcement: Verifies token limit is respected and correct stop reason is returned
• ✅ Temperature setting: Tests deterministic behavior with temperature=0

4. Error Handling (2 tests)

• ✅ Invalid model ID: Ensures graceful error handling for non-existent models
• ✅ Context window overflow: Validates ContextWindowOverflowError is thrown for oversized inputs

5. Content Block Lifecycle (1 test)

• ✅ Complete lifecycle: Validates proper event ordering (start before deltas, deltas before stop)

6. Multi-turn Conversations (1 test)

• ✅ Context retention: Tests conversation history is properly maintained across turns

7. Stop Reasons (3 tests)

• ✅ endTurn: Natural conversation completion
• ✅ maxTokens: Token limit reached
• ✅ toolUse: Tool use request made

8. Edge Cases (2 tests)

• ✅ Empty assistant messages: Handles whitespace-only content gracefully
• ✅ Very short responses: Validates complete event sequence with minimal output

Test Execution

The integration tests follow the Bedrock pattern:

• API key detection: Tests are skipped if OPENAI_API_KEY is not available
• Model used: gpt-4o-mini for cost efficiency
• Concurrent execution: Tests run in parallel for speed
• Helper function: collectEvents() for easy stream consumption

Example Usage

# Run integration tests (requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
npm run test:integ

# Run without API key (tests will be skipped)
npm run test:integ

Test Output Example

⏭️  OpenAI API key not available - integration tests will be skipped

or

✅ OpenAI API key found for integration tests
✓ OpenAIModel Integration Tests > Basic Streaming > streams a simple text response
✓ OpenAIModel Integration Tests > Tool Use > requests tool use when appropriate
...

Validation

✅ All 104 unit tests passing
✅ Build succeeds
✅ Linting passes
✅ Formatting applied
✅ Type checks pass
✅ 93.12% code coverage maintained

The integration tests provide real-world validation of the OpenAI streaming implementation!

So OpenAI only supports text not JSON?

[afarntrog]

It looks like it from the docs from the examples they give and how they manually cast it to string

for tool_call in completion.choices[0].message.tool_calls:
    name = tool_call.function.name
    args = json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments)

    result = call_function(name, args)
    messages.append({
        "role": "tool",
        "tool_call_id": tool_call.id,
        "content": str(result)
    })

https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling?api-mode=chat#:~:text=%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%5D-,Execute%20function%20calls%20and%20append%20results,-python

/strands fix the following:
1)
The _formatMessages function currently returns unknown[], which weakens type safety and requires a type assertion at the call site. To improve this, the function should be updated to return the more specific OpenAI.Chat.Completions.ChatCompletionMessageParam[].

This will require updating the types used within the function to ensure they are compatible. For example, openAIMessages should be initialized with this type, and variables like toolUseCalls and assistantMessage should also be strongly typed.

Suggested change

  private _formatMessages(messages: Message[]): unknown[] {
  private _formatMessages(messages: Message[]): OpenAI.Chat.Completions.ChatCompletionMessageParam[] {

This large inline type cast for choice makes the code harder to read and maintain. It would be cleaner to extract this into a named type alias or interface defined at a more accessible scope, for example at the top of the file or within the class.

For example:

type OpenAIChatChoice = {
  delta?: {
    role?: string;
    content?: string;
    tool_calls?: Array<{
      index: number;
      id?: string;
      type?: string;
      function?: {
        name?: string;
        arguments?: string;
      };
    }>;
  };
  finish_reason?: string;
  index: number;
};

// ... later in the function
const typedChoice = choice as OpenAIChatChoice;

🔧 Code Quality Improvements - Addressing Review Feedback

Thank you @zastrowm and @afarntrog for the detailed review! I'm working through the feedback systematically. Here's what's been done so far:

✅ Implementation Improvements (Complete)

1. Fixed _formatMessages return type (afarntrog feedback)

• Changed from unknown[] to OpenAI.Chat.Completions.ChatCompletionMessageParam[]
• Removed type assertion at call site
• Added proper types for toolUseCalls and assistantMessage
• Improved type safety throughout the function

2. Extracted inline type cast (afarntrog feedback)

• Created OpenAIChatChoice type alias at module level
• Moved large inline type definition to top of file
• Improves code readability and maintainability

3. Added missing n > 1 validation

• Fixed failing test for streaming with n > 1
• Throws clear error message: "Streaming with n > 1 is not supported"

4. Added clarifying comment (zastrowm question #11)

Remaining Test Improvements

There are 7 remaining items from zastrowm's review focused on test code quality (not functionality):

1. Centralize collectEvents helper
2. Remove eslint-disable if possible
3. Use createMockClient throughout (replace inline mocks)
4. Convert error tests to data-driven format
5. Remove unnecessary vi.restoreAllMocks
6. Remove or explain "Issue #N" comments
7. Add expectStreamException helper

These are test refactoring tasks that would improve maintainability but don't affect functionality.

Question

Should I proceed with the test refactoring now, or would you prefer to:

• Review and merge current improvements first
• Address test improvements in a follow-up PR
• Prioritize specific test improvements

Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
