Fixture

derived ollama/stream.missing-finish

Provenance	Value
Transform	strip_finish
Source fixture	ollama/truncation.text-stream
Rationale	The stream ends cleanly without its finish signal.
Evidence	https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/6610

Reproduce

Upstream

reported Issue

Fixed in: not specified

A stream that ends cleanly without any finish reason is reported with finish_reason stop. CustomStreamWrapper.finish_reason_handler falls back to stop when no finish reason was received (https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/v1.105.1/litellm/litellm_core_utils/streaming_handler.py#L1715-L1727). The Responses path keeps the missing finish and passes.
