Fixes #388. Fixes #387.

streamText and generateText no longer predict whether a step is the last (willContinue). A step is staged in onStepEnd, saved when the AI SDK actually starts the next one (prepareStep), and the generation is finalized at its real end (onEnd or end of stream); on abort or error the failure path finalizes it instead. A failed save stops the generation and keeps the step for the failed message. Callback errors follow the AI SDK: a throwing onStepEnd, onEnd or onError is ignored, and the caller's onEnd runs after the final step is saved on every path. A failing usage or raw-response handler is rethrown when the generation ends, or logged where nothing awaits it. onError only fails the generation once the SDK gives up on the error, so stream retries are not failures, and we no longer abort our own signal on failure (#387).

A caller's onStepEnd now runs before that step is saved. Requires ai@^7.0.91. One approval test is marked test.fails for vercel/ai#22173, an upstream regression in ai >=7.0.33, already fixed in vercel/ai#22178. Users get the fix with their next ai update, so no release of ours depends on it; the marker comes off when our dev dependency moves past it.

📝 Walkthrough

Generation steps are staged and saved as the next step starts, with the final step saved during finalization. The streamText and generateText paths use shared lifecycle controls for message storage and handlers. Stream errors are retained until retry processing completes, and DeltaStreamer can stop without aborting generation. The AI SDK peer dependency minimum is now 7.0.91.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to df44c

Some approval continuations may lose configured provider options, and narrow stream-failure paths may leave generation state unfinished or abort the shared SDK signal. The issues are limited to these paths, so merge risk is low, though they should be corrected or consciously accepted.

Intentional: these wrappers follow the AI SDK, whose notify ignores callback errors. Only our own failures (storage, usage and raw-response handlers) are rethrown or logged. Renamed the tests to say so.

src/vercel/client/start.ts:459-466
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stop the generation when the pending message is already failed.

This branch clears pendingMessageId before calling failPending. failPending then resolves without finalizing anything, so store can resolve and prepareStep can continue. Later steps can be saved as standalone messages.

Throw after preserving the returned messages so StepLifecycle.#save rejects and the prepareStep call propagates the failure.

🐛 Suggested fix
         if (lastMessage.status === "failed") {
           pendingMessageId = undefined;
           savedMessages.push(...saved.messages);
-          await failPending(
+          throw new Error(
             lastMessage.error ??
               "Aborting - the pending message was marked as failed",
           );

Invoke the deferred onEnd callback when awaited stream consumption fails.

When stream or result.consumeStream() rejects, the catch block rethrows before lifecycle.ended(...) invokes callerOnEnd. The SDK onEnd handler only defers the callback in this mode. Provider or stream failures can therefore skip the caller's onEnd callback.

Suggested fix

       // The stream itself failed, so nothing will finish the row or the

🟡 Minor · Preserve the SDK signal on provider stream errors. · streaming.ts:384-395

src/vercel/client/streaming.ts:384-395
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the SDK signal on provider stream errors.

If a provider returns a stream whose first read rejects, AI SDK 7.0.119 propagates that failure to the UI stream consumed by DeltaStreamer.consumeStream. Its catch calls #abort with the default abortGeneration: true, which aborts the same signal passed to streamTextAi. The awaited caller still receives the provider error; the evidence does not establish an unhandled AbortError. Separate iterator-read failures from delta-write failures so provider errors fail the row without aborting the SDK signal, while delta-write failures and explicit cancellation retain their abort behavior.

AI SDK GitHub issue 22173 pull request 22178 fixed release version providerOptions result relocation

💡 Result:

**Issue #22173** reported that `providerOptions` on an approval-only tool message were lost after an approved local tool ran. The empty approval message was combined with the tool-result message, whose missing options overwrote the original ones—silently dropping settings such as Anthropic cache-control breakpoints in both `generateText` and `streamText`. (GitHub issue 22173 in vercel/ai (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

**PR #22178** fixed this by merging options when the preceding tool message has no content, and added a regression test. It was merged into `main` on **October 6, 2026**. (GitHub pull request 22178 in vercel/ai (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

**Release version:** the PR page says a patch changeset was added, but the available sources don’t identify the released version. A separate **v6.0 backport, PR #23238, was created**; its release status/version isn’t established here. (GitHub pull request 22178 in vercel/ai (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

vercel ai 7.0.119 release date PR 22178 providerOptions fix first release 7.0.120

💡 Result:

**Yes—`ai@7.0.119` was published on September 28, 2026**, at 17:06 UTC according to a release mirror; npm’s version history confirms it appeared about eight hours before that page’s crawl. ([sourceforge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vercel-ai-sdk.mirror/files/ai%407.0.119/?utm_source=openai))

**But I can’t verify the PR #22178 / `providerOptions` connection from the sources I found.** The available `7.0.119` changelog lists other fixes, not that one; `7.0.120` is dated September 28 as well, but its listed changes are preserving tool metadata and resuming UI message parts—not a `providerOptions` fix. ([sourceforge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vercel-ai-sdk.mirror/files/ai%407.0.119/?utm_source=openai))

So, based on available evidence, `7.0.120` was **not established as the first release containing the alleged fix**. PR #22178’s identity and the fix’s release version remain unresolved.

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/vercel/ai/releases 7.0.120 provider options PR 22178 changeset

💡 Result:

**PR #22178** is “fix: preserve provider options after approved local tool execution.” Merged into `main` on **October 6, 2026**, it fixes provider options—such as Anthropic cache-control settings—being dropped when an approval-only tool message is combined with a later tool result. The PR says a patch changeset was added. (GitHub pull request 22178 in vercel/ai (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

**It is not listed in `ai@7.0.120`’s release notes.** That release, published September 28, 2026, lists different patch changes. So the PR’s changeset does not establish that this fix shipped in `7.0.120`; the release page is the closest source for what that version included.

Exclude AI SDK versions affected by the provider-options regression.

When a context handler adds message-level provider options during approval continuation, AI SDK versions before PR #22178 can drop them during result relocation. The peer range ^7.0.91 includes ai@7.0.119, which predates that fix, so supported applications can send model requests without those options. Raise the peer minimum and dev pin to a release containing the fix, then remove test.fails.

It seems like we're going down the road of reverse-engineering AI SDK and trying to duplicate its behavior, is that a fair assessment? Is there a way to change our interface with it that decreases complexity instead?
