- PR #139348: fix(streaming): bounded recovery from writer supersession and mid-stream stalls (fixes #122575, #126217)

Members concern streamed chat responses ending incomplete: two pull requests address writer supersession and mid-stream stalls, and one bug report describes silent mid-output truncation with a custom OpenAI-compatible provider. The shared theme appears to be streaming completeness, though the link between the bug report and the writer-supersession changes is not confirmed by the titles alone.
