fix(gui): don't drop batched messages after a <think> block - #2
Conversation
The `<think>...</think>` fast-path in the `streamUpdate` reducer ended in `return` rather than `continue`. Since it sits inside a `for (const message of action.payload)` loop, returning exits the reducer entirely and silently discards every remaining message in the batch, not just the one being handled. The sibling early-exit for redacted thinking uses `continue`, and nothing runs after the loop, so `continue` is the intended control flow here. This went unnoticed because every existing `streamUpdate` test dispatches a single-element payload, where `return` and `continue` are indistinguishable. The added test uses a two-message payload and fails on `return`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Align the fixture with the production history layout.
submitEditorAndInitAtIndex creates a [user, assistant] pair in gui/src/redux/slices/sessionSlice.ts at Lines 391-409, but this test starts with only the user item. The first <think> message therefore stores reasoning on newState.history[0], which is a user message in this test. Add the assistant placeholder and assert reasoning on history[1] and combined content on history[2]. This ensures the regression test covers the actual reducer state.
Proposed test adjustment
const initialState = createInitialState();
+initialState.history.push({
+ message: {
+ role: "assistant" as const,
+ content: "",
+ id: "initial-assistant-message",
+ },
+ contextItems: [],

- expect(newState.history[0].reasoning?.text).toBe("Reasoning here.");
+ expect(newState.history[1].reasoning?.text).toBe("Reasoning here.");
- expect(newState.history[1].message.content).toBe(

Pull request overview
Fixes a streaming reducer control-flow bug in the GUI session state where batched messages could be silently dropped after encountering a <think>...</think> block, and adds a regression test to ensure subsequent messages in the same batch are preserved.
Changes:
- Replaces an unintended
returnwithcontinueinside thestreamUpdatemessage loop to avoid discarding remaining batched messages. - Adds a regression test covering a two-message payload where the first contains a
<think>block and the second continues the assistant output.
