- Remove unused event handler that triggered CodeQL warning - Use useChat's data property to access stream events - Process reasoning-delta, step-start, and step-finish events from data array - Fixes issue where reasoning display never appeared in UI Agent-Logs-Url: https://github.com/objectstack-ai/framework/sessions/fff45c75-5fcc-435e-a01f-9c5fba9d8326 Co-authored-by: hotlong <50353452+hotlong@users.noreply.github.com>
Fixed in 6b50186. The issue was that the stream event handler was defined but never connected to the data stream, so reasoning/step events were being sent by the backend but ignored by the frontend. The fix uses the How it works:
Note: The reasoning display requires the LLM model to actually emit reasoning events (like DeepSeek R1 or OpenAI o1). Standard models won't show reasoning since they don't provide it in their stream. |

…Protocol
This commit fixes the reasoning/thinking display in the Studio AI chat by
correcting both the backend stream encoding and frontend parsing to align
with the Vercel AI SDK v6 Data Stream Protocol.
## Backend Changes
**packages/services/service-ai/src/stream/vercel-stream-encoder.ts**
- Add `dataStreamLine()` helper for Data Stream Protocol format
- Fix reasoning event encoding to use `g:` prefix instead of standard SSE:
- `reasoning-start` → `g:{"text":""}\n`
- `reasoning-delta` → `g:{"text":"..."}\n`
- `reasoning-end` → empty string (no marker needed)
- Aligns with Vercel AI SDK protocol specification
**packages/services/service-ai/src/__tests__/vercel-stream-encoder.test.ts**
- Update tests to expect `g:` prefix format for reasoning events
- All 17 tests passing
## Frontend Changes
**apps/studio/src/components/AiChatPanel.tsx**
- Extract reasoning from `message.parts` instead of incorrect `data` property
- Process `reasoning-delta`/`reasoning` parts from message parts array
- Process `step-start`/`step-finish` parts for progress tracking
- Remove unused stream event type interfaces (fixes TypeScript warnings)
## Technical Details
The Vercel AI SDK v6 Data Stream Protocol uses prefix identifiers:
- `0:` - Text content
- `2:` - Custom data annotations
- `g:` - Reasoning/thinking content (DeepSeek R1, OpenAI o1-style models)
Previously the backend was encoding reasoning as standard SSE events
(`data: {"type":"reasoning-delta",...}`) which the frontend couldn't
access through the `useChat` hook. The correct format is the Data Stream
Protocol format (`g:{"text":"..."}\n`) which appears in `message.parts`.
Fixes: #1093 (AI chat reasoning display)

The thinking/reasoning phases should now display properly when using models that support reasoning streams (DeepSeek R1, OpenAI o1-style models). |

Pull request overview
Updates the Studio AI chat streaming pipeline to correctly surface model “reasoning/thinking” content and step progress by adjusting the service-side stream encoding and the Studio-side message-part parsing to better match Vercel AI SDK v6 streaming expectations.
Changes:
- Add Data Stream Protocol-style
g:line encoding for reasoning events in the AI service stream encoder. - Extend stream encoder tests to cover reasoning events and custom step-event passthrough.
- Add Studio UI components/state to display reasoning in a collapsible panel and show step progress while streaming.

step-finish updates completedSteps but never removes the corresponding entry from activeSteps, so finished steps will remain shown as “active” spinners and the progress counts can be wrong. Consider deleting the active step on finish (preferably by stepId if present on the part) before updating state.

The collapsible reasoning toggle is a plain <button> without type="button" and without ARIA state. Add type="button" and at least aria-expanded (and optionally aria-controls) so it doesn’t behave like a submit button if nested in a form and is usable by screen readers.

encodeStreamPart now emits bare g: lines for reasoning, while the rest of the encoder emits SSE-framed data: ...\n\n chunks. Unless the downstream transport explicitly supports mixed framing, the reasoning lines may be ignored/dropped by parsers expecting SSE events. Consider aligning the reasoning frames with the same wire framing as the other parts (or moving the whole stream to a consistent Data Stream Protocol encoding).
Fixes the reasoning/thinking display in the Studio AI chat by correcting both the backend stream encoding and frontend parsing to align with the Vercel AI SDK v6 Data Stream Protocol.
Problem
The AI chat panel was only showing "thinking" without displaying actual reasoning content or step progress indicators. This was due to a protocol mismatch between how the backend encoded reasoning events and how the frontend parsed them.
