Summary
This PR resolves a significant UX bottleneck in the
/rag/query/streamendpoint by implementing true auto-regressive Server-Sent Events (SSE).Previously, the endpoint awaited the complete text generation from the LLM before yielding chunks for cosmetic UI streaming. By integrating
sse-starletteand converting the Ollama client into a real-time generator, tokens are now streamed immediately as they arrive over anEventSourceResponse, drastically reducing perceived latency.Architectural Changes
sse-starletteto manage the EventSource streaming protocol standard.app/rag/llm.py): Implementedgenerate_answer_streamusingrequests.post(stream=True)to yield JSON-decoded tokens asynchronously.app/api/routes/rag.py): Offloaded the blocking generator to a background thread (asyncio.to_thread) and wrapped the output in anEventSourceResponse. Background metadata tracking via_dispatch_backgroundremains intact.Note: Submitted as part of GirlScript Summer of Code (GSSoC) 2026.
