Both review points were fair. Fixed in de80634. Cancellation vs a retained failure. Correct, and it was a wart my own change introduced. I added a third test for it. It fails without the new line, replaying Hand-written protocol values in the fake worker. The casts were the real problem and they are gone. The messages were already structurally valid On the letter of the guideline: these two are hand-written TypeScript discriminated unions in Gates after the change, in |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use a separate retained-failure state.
failure has type unknown, so it can contain undefined. The current !== undefined check then treats that failure as absent and returns a clean end-of-stream result.
Store a separate boolean, or box the failure value, so every rejection reason is delivered once.
Proposed fix
interface StreamPending {
kind: 'stream';
events: unknown[];
waiters: Array<{
resolve(value: IteratorResult<unknown>): void;
reject(reason: unknown): void;
}>;
finished: boolean;
- failure?: unknown;
+ failure: { reason: unknown } | null;
}
- const state: StreamPending = { kind: 'stream', events: [], waiters: [], finished: false };
+ const state: StreamPending = {
+ kind: 'stream', events: [], waiters: [], finished: false, failure: null,
+ };
- state.failure = error;
+ state.failure = { reason: error };
- if (state.failure !== undefined) {
- const error = state.failure;
- state.failure = undefined;
+ if (state.failure !== null) {
+ const { reason: error } = state.failure;
+ state.failure = null;
return Promise.reject(error);
}
- state.failure = undefined;
+ state.failure = null;Also applies to: 255-259, 399-400

…next()
Both hand-rolled stream iterators reject the waiters that happen to be parked
and keep no record of the error:
const fail = (err) => {
if (finished) return;
finished = true;
while (waiters.length > 0) waiters.shift().reject(err);
};
`next()` drains the queue, then returns `{ done: true }` on `finished`. So a
failure that arrives while the consumer is between `next()` calls is dropped,
and the following `next()` reports a clean end of stream.
Both windows are ordinary, not exotic:
- OffscreenRuntimeBridge: the worker posts `error` at any time, including
while the consumer is rendering the token it just received. A dying worker
is the documented case here, since a WASM OOM in the VLM path kills it.
- streamCallback: `start()` defers the native call by a microtask so the
consumer parks first, and the first emit then wakes it. Anything emitted
after that is buffered, so a call that emits and then throws fails with no
waiter left to reject.
Each iterator now stores the error and raises it from `next()` on the check
that already sits between the queue drain and the `finished` check, so
buffered events still arrive first and only then does the error surface.
`return()` routes through `finish()`, which is a no-op once `fail()` has set `finished`, so the stored error outlived a cancel and the next `next()` would replay it. A consumer that walked away should not be handed an error it never asked to read. Clear the retained failure in `return()` in both iterators. Also drop the casts in the fake worker. The messages are structurally valid `WorkerRequest` / `WorkerResponse` values, so narrowing on the `init` / `cancel` discriminators and passing `requestId ?? undefined` types them without any `as unknown as`, which keeps the fake honest if the protocol changes.
Third instance of the same shape, found by sweeping the other hand-rolled iterators rather than stopping at the two this PR started with. `BackendWorkerHost.stream()` and `failRequest()` both set `finished` and reject only the parked waiters, so `next()` reads a clean end of stream afterwards. This one matters most: `failRequest` is what `handleCrash` calls for every in-flight request, and a llamacpp WebGPU worker Abort is a documented crash here, so a worker death currently ends every stream whose consumer is mid-body as though it completed. Retention lives on the shared `StreamPending` rather than a closure, because `failRequest` fails the stream from outside `stream()`. `return()` clears it, matching the cancel rule in the other two.

What is wrong
OffscreenRuntimeBridge.getStreamIteratorandstreamCallback(ProtoAdapterTypes) both fail like this:Only the waiters that are parked at that instant learn about the error, and nothing keeps it afterwards.
next()drains the queue and then returns{ done: true }becausefinishedis set. So a failure that arrives while the consumer is betweennext()calls is discarded, and the consumer is told the stream ended normally.Why both windows are ordinary
Worker bridge. The worker posts
errorwhenever it likes, including while the consumer is rendering the token it just received. This is the documented failure here: a WASM OOM in the VLM path kills the worker (see the Web VLM Worker crash-recovery note in AGENTS.md).streamCallback.
start()defers the native call by a microtask, on purpose, so the consumer's firstnext()parks before native code starts emitting. The first emit wakes it; everything emitted after that is buffered. A call that emits and then throws therefore fails with no waiter left to reject.The consequence in both cases is the same, and it is the one that costs a user real time: inference dies, and the app renders a truncated answer as a completed one.
What this changes
Each iterator stores the error and raises it from
next()on a check placed between the existing queue drain and thefinishedcheck. Buffered events still arrive first, and only once they are exhausted does the error surface. Cancellation and normal completion are untouched.+21 lines of source across the two files.
Verification
Ran in
bindings/web/packages/core:vitest run: 57 files, 246 tests, all passtsc --noEmit: cleaneslinton the three changed files with--max-warnings 0: cleanThe new test is
tests/unit/runtime/StreamFailureNotParked.test.ts. Both cases are deterministic rather than timing-dependent: the fake worker only crashes when the test tells it to, and the fake module emits a second value so the buffered-events window is a fact of the test rather than a race.I confirmed both are real regression tests by stashing only the two source files and re-running. Both fail on unfixed source with the same symptom:
The suite and typecheck need the generated proto tree, so I ran
idl/codegen/generate_ts.sh,generate_ts_convenience.py,generate_defaults_pool.pyandgenerate_streams.shfirst. None of that output is committed;git statusshows only the three files.One note on scope: this is the same failure mode as #721, but a different one of the two races and a disjoint set of files, so I kept them apart rather than growing that diff. #721 loses the error when the consumer is parked; this loses it when the consumer is not. They can land in either order.
