feat: OpenAI-compatible streaming hardening (prefill heartbeat + OpenCode e2e CI) by solderzzc · Pull Request #75 · SharpAI/SwiftLM

solderzzc · 2026-04-22T22:42:58Z

Summary

Hardens the OpenAI-compatible streaming layer to resolve concurrency regressions and client compatibility issues found when connecting strict parsers (OpenCode, Cursor, Continue.dev) to the server.

Changes

🔧 Server.swift — Architecture Refactor

Replaced global activePrefillProgressHook with scoped Task-based local hooks to eliminate race conditions under parallel requests
Added mandatory Task.cancel() on heartbeat tasks after stream completion to prevent resource leaks
Exposed PrefillState actor as internal to allow direct unit testing

✅ Testing

Unit tests (tests/SwiftLMTests/ServerSSETests.swift): 6 new tests covering SSE payload edge cases, PrefillState lifecycle, and regression guards for strict SSE parsing
Integration tests (tests/test-server.sh): Tests 32–36 verifying strict streaming defaults, opt-in prefill headers, CORS headers, and concurrent request safety
OpenCode e2e test (tests/test-opencode.sh): Two-layer validation:
- Test 1 — Official OpenAI Python SDK parses the full stream without rejecting event: prefill_progress chunks
- Test 2 — Real opencode-ai CLI binary connects to a live gemma-4-e4b-it-4bit server and completes a generation end-to-end

🤖 CI/CD (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)

Registered SwiftLMTests in Package.swift and hooked into the build_and_unit_test job
Added opencode modality to the integration test matrix (continue-on-error: true guards against upstream SDK changes)

Technical Notes

Named SSE events (event: prefill_progress) allow strict OpenAI-compatible clients to silently skip heartbeat data without throwing validation errors
gemma-4-e4b-it-4bit is used for the OpenCode e2e test (fits in 8GB RAM); server startup timeout set to 180s to cover model download in CI
OpenCode CLI invoked with --dangerously-skip-permissions + yes | pipe to handle non-interactive CI environments

Closes

Closes the race condition and Task leak issues originally raised in this branch.

Pull request overview

Hardens the OpenAI-compatible streaming/SSE layer and expands CI coverage to catch strict-client parsing and concurrency regressions (OpenCode/Cursor/Continue).

Changes:

Adds an opt-in prefill-progress heartbeat via X-SwiftLM-Prefill-Progress and emits it as a named SSE event (event: prefill_progress) with a lean payload.
Introduces new Swift unit tests for SSE chunk structure and PrefillState invariants; adds new/expanded shell integration tests, including an OpenCode E2E script.
Updates CI to run the new SwiftLM test target and adds an opencode modality to the integration matrix (allowed to fail).

The heartbeat task isn’t guaranteed to be cancelled on all exit paths. If the stream task is cancelled (e.g., client disconnect) before the first .chunk or before .info is observed, heartbeatTask can continue running and activePrefillProgressHook may remain set. Consider using a defer in the producer task (or withTaskCancellationHandler) to always cancel heartbeatTask, clear activePrefillProgressHook, and finish() the PrefillState when the streaming task exits for any reason.

heartbeatTask?.cancel()

heartbeatTask = nil

activePrefillProgressHook = nil

This test can produce false positives because curl failures are swallowed (|| true). If the request fails (empty output), both checks will pass. Instead, fail the test when the curl command fails or when the stream is empty / missing a terminal [DONE].

Test 33 also masks curl/request failures (|| true) and will pass even if the streaming request never succeeded. At minimum, check that curl succeeded (or that the response contains data: [DONE]) before treating the test as a pass; otherwise this won’t catch regressions in CI.

This “concurrent” test doesn’t actually exercise parallel generation because the server is started with the default --parallel 1, so requests will be serialized by the semaphore. To validate the regression described in the PR, start the server with --parallel 2 (or higher) for this test (on a separate port like the CORS/auth tests) so the global-hook/heartbeat logic is truly stressed under overlap.

This test file uses Data/JSONSerialization (Foundation) but doesn’t import Foundation. Add import Foundation to avoid build failures in SwiftPM environments where XCTest doesn’t re-export Foundation APIs.

+    // We capture the hook in a local variable so that concurrent requests

activePrefillProgressHook is still a single global, but the server supports --parallel slots (AsyncSemaphore(limit: parallelSlots)). With parallel > 1, concurrent requests will overwrite/clear each other’s hook (e.g., activePrefillProgressHook = nil on line 1402), so prefill updates can be routed to the wrong request or dropped entirely. To actually harden concurrency, scope the hook per-request (e.g., TaskLocal / request-id keyed registry) or otherwise make the prepare() callback non-global; relying on the semaphore only works when parallel == 1.

                if !stopped {


Same issue as chat streaming: heartbeatTask/activePrefillProgressHook cleanup only happens on first .chunk or .info. If the streaming task is cancelled before those (client disconnect during prefill), the heartbeat can leak and the global hook may stay set. Add unconditional cleanup (e.g., defer/cancellation handler) so resources are always released when the streaming task exits.

The primary server in this script is started without --cors (see Test 13), so the CORS middleware won’t run and an OPTIONS preflight here will likely fail or omit CORS headers. This test should target the dedicated CORS server started with --cors '*' (using $CORS_PORT) or explicitly restart the server with --cors before asserting Access-Control-Allow-Headers.

This test can incorrectly pass even when the opencode run fails: || true discards the exit code, and the success condition includes test -s /tmp/opencode_cli.log (any non-empty output). Tighten the assertion to require a clear success marker and/or capture the exit status of npx opencode run for evaluation; otherwise parser/model failures may be reported as PASS.
