From 8dee77541f0f19cd36e5c26f1bccaad4b4c58770 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rune Olsen Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 14:11:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Use non-chat-like delimiters for merge transcripts, log truncation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Rune retested after the previous merge fix (bigger token budget, stronger instruction) with the exact same DDNS Docker debugging conversations and got the identical failure — same error text, same models. Logs showed a single ~86s request with a large prompt (31k tokens cached) and no truncation signal available to check. The remaining suspect: the transcript was formatted as "**User:**" / "**Assistant:**" markdown, which closely mimics a live chat turn format. Over a long, noisy transcript that includes something reading like a directive ("no more editing", etc), the model can lose track of "this is data to merge" and slip into continuing/replying to it instead — matching exactly what was observed. Replaced the transcript markers with synthetic, non-chat-like tokens (<<>> etc) and added an explicit "this is not a live conversation" framing both before and after the transcript block, not just once at the top. Also: log OpenRouter's finishReason when it's "length" (i.e. the response was actually cut off) so a future failure like this is distinguishable from a formatting/instruction-following miss without guessing from the log lines Rune already has available. --- oAI/Providers/OpenRouterProvider.swift | 4 +++ oAI/Services/ConversationMergeService.swift | 36 ++++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/oAI/Providers/OpenRouterProvider.swift b/oAI/Providers/OpenRouterProvider.swift index 309e6a9..658937d 100644 --- a/oAI/Providers/OpenRouterProvider.swift +++ b/oAI/Providers/OpenRouterProvider.swift @@ -519,6 +519,10 @@ class OpenRouterProvider: AIProvider { Log.api.info("OpenRouter cache usage: model=\(apiResponse.model), created=\(details.cacheWriteTokens ?? 0), read=\(details.cachedTokens ?? 0)") } + if choice.finishReason == "length" { + Log.api.warning("OpenRouter response truncated: model=\(apiResponse.model), finishReason=length, completionTokens=\(apiResponse.usage?.completionTokens ?? 0)") + } + return ChatResponse( id: apiResponse.id, model: apiResponse.model, diff --git a/oAI/Services/ConversationMergeService.swift b/oAI/Services/ConversationMergeService.swift index ef11362..b5d4e4f 100644 --- a/oAI/Services/ConversationMergeService.swift +++ b/oAI/Services/ConversationMergeService.swift @@ -117,26 +117,36 @@ enum ConversationMergeService { throw MergeError.noAPIKey } + // Deliberately not formatted as "**User:**"/"**Assistant:**" markdown — that mimics + // live chat turns closely enough that models (observed: Haiku 4.5, GLM 5.2) can slip + // into continuing/replying to the embedded transcript instead of merging it as inert + // data, especially once a transcript contains something that reads like a directive + // ("no more editing", etc).
