📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughStreaming chat and completion wrappers now isolate per-chunk tracing and finalization failures. Streams continue yielding chunks, warnings are logged, and spans always end. A regression test verifies that a malformed middle chunk does not drop later chunks. ChangesStreaming tracing safety

Wrap stream iteration and finalization in one outer try/finally.
All four builders iterate before the finalization try/finally. An iterator exception, generator close()/aclose(), or cancellation can exit during iteration before span.end() runs. Keep source exceptions and cancellation unchanged.

Problem
_build_from_streaming_responseand_abuild_from_streaming_responseinboth
chat_wrappers.pyandcompletion_wrappers.pyare generatorfunctions (they contain
yield). They're decorated with@dont_throw,which is meant to make sure a tracing failure never crashes the actual
LLM call. It doesn't, for these functions specifically.
Root cause
@dont_throw'stry/exceptwraps the call that creates the generatorobject. Calling a generator function doesn't run any of its body -- it
just builds a paused generator and returns it immediately, so nothing
inside that
trycan ever throw.@dont_throwfinishes and returnsbefore any real work happens.
The actual loop only runs later, when the caller iterates with
for chunk in stream:in their own application code -- completelyoutside
@dont_throw'stry/except, which already exited. So ifsomething in the tracing bookkeeping (
span.add_event,_accumulate_stream_items/_accumulate_streaming_response) throws areal exception on one chunk, it isn't caught by anything. It crashes
straight out into the developer's own streaming loop, dropping every
remaining chunk of the real response -- despite the function visibly
being decorated with
@dont_throw.Concretely: a chunk with an unexpected shape (e.g. missing
"choices")raises
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterableinside_accumulate_stream_items, which was previously enough to kill theentire stream mid-response.
completion_wrappers.py's streaming functions have no additionalsafety net at all (no version-gated safer path), so they're affected
unconditionally.
Fix
Moved the
try/exceptinside the loop, scoped to only the tracingcalls -- never the
yield. A tracing failure on one chunk is nowlogged and skipped; the real chunk is still yielded, and the loop
continues to the next one. Post-loop span finalization got its own
separate
try/except, withspan.end()moved into afinallyso thespan always closes even if finalizing it fails.
Testing
Added
test_streaming_tracing_failure_safety.py: feeds_build_from_streaming_responsethree fake chunks where the middle oneis malformed, and asserts all three still get yielded (nothing dropped)
and the failure is logged instead of raised.
Confirmed this test reproduces the original bug: running it against the
unfixed function raises
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable,exactly as described above. Full existing package test suite (261
tests) still passes.
