Fixture

derived gemini/finish.unknown-value

Provenance	Value
Transform	replace_finish_value
Source fixture	gemini/truncation.text
Rationale	The provider sends a finish value that a library may not recognize.
Evidence	https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/21347

Reproduce

wiretruth serve gemini/finish.unknown-value

Plain-library snippet from the shim manifest.

litellm.completion(model='gemini/' + model, api_base=WIRETRUTH_BASE_URL_GEMINI + '/v1beta', api_key=WIRETRUTH_API_KEY); the runner supplies the host root and LiteLLM appends /models/...

Upstream

documented-behavior Issue

Fixed in: not specified

LiteLLM deliberately normalizes unfamiliar finish reasons to stop with a warning. The upstream issue requested that fallback and is closed as completed; 1.105.1 implements it in https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/v1.105.1/litellm/litellm_core_utils/core_helpers.py#L253-L258. Gemini and the OpenAI Chat path retain the original in choices[0].provider_specific_fields.native_finish_reason; Anthropic and native Ollama normalize before assigning the choice and lose the original. A raw original does not change the contradictory primary stop.
