Fix DeepSeek multi-turn chat breaking with reasoning_content error#34760x5t4l1n wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
DeepSeek V4 requires that any reasoning_content present in an assistant message be echoed back verbatim on the next request. The stream parser was discarding it entirely, so the second turn always failed with "reasoning_content must be passed back to the API". Fixes wavetermdev#3266

Preserve reasoning_content in partial responses.
RunAIChat persists the non-nil message returned after a client disconnect. extractPartialTextMessage omits reasoningBuilder.String(), so persisted partial messages lose received reasoning content. Include the reasoning content in this path.

Multi-turn conversations with DeepSeek V4 were completely broken — the second message always failed with "reasoning_content must be passed back to the API". The first message goes through fine, but as soon as you reply it errors out.
The issue is that
ContentDeltahad no field forreasoning_content, so it got dropped during stream deserialization. The stored assistant message had noreasoning_content, and when that message got included in the next request, DeepSeek rejected it because the field it originally sent was missing. Classic round-trip fidelity bug.Fixed by adding
ReasoningContenttoContentDelta, threading it throughChatRequestMessageand thechatRequestMessageJSONwire struct with proper marshal/unmarshal, and setting it on the stored assistant message after stream completion. Field isomitemptyso it has zero effect on providers that don't use it.Verified by running a multi-turn DeepSeek V4 conversation — follow-up messages go through cleanly now.
