Root cause: trae-local-api is deployed to users without the "Fold past
assistant tool_calls into [Called tool: name({...})]" text format that
their own histories already contained. Trae-Local-API-LLM then mimics this
format in subsequent responses. The trae.lua parser only recognized
<tool_call>...</tool_call> or <toolcall>...</toolcall> tags, so
[Called tool: ...] responses were left unparsed and the client received
plain text where a structured tool_calls array should be.
Fix: Add a legacy pattern match at the END of parse_text_tool_calls to
catch the [Called tool: name({args})] shape and emit proper tool_calls.
This is a fallback; models should emit <tool_call> tags per system prompt,
but we tolerate the mimicked form for robustness.
Four adapters handled tool_calls in transform_stream_chunk but lost them in
transform_response, so any NON-streaming tool-using conversation broke on its
second request: the client received finish_reason:"tool_calls" with no
tool_calls payload, replayed an assistant message whose function
name/arguments were empty, and the upstream rejected the next turn with
400 invalid tool_call function, function/name/arguments cannot be empty
The production audit trail shows 46 such failures on sensenova alone.
- sensenova.lua: forward message.tool_calls, decoding the arguments JSON string
into an object as the unified shape expects.
- gemini.lua: collect functionCall parts from candidates[].content.parts. Also
correct finish_reason, since Gemini reports "STOP" even when it emitted a
function call and clients keyed on it treat that as a finished answer.
- ollama.lua: the field was initialized to an empty table and never filled;
fill it and likewise correct done_reason "stop" -> "tool_calls".
trae is a different failure with the same symptom: trae-local-api's OpenAI
endpoint (/v1/chat/completions, src/server.js:353) never reads the request's
`tools` array — only its Anthropic endpoint does — so the relayed model is never
told the tool schema and instead PRINTS a <tool_call>{...}</tool_call> block into
content, leaving message.tool_calls null and finish_reason "stop". An OpenAI
client sees an ordinary completion and its agent loop ends mid-conversation.
trae.lua now recovers the structured call from that text, strips the block from
user-visible content, and corrects finish_reason. Both tag spellings
(<tool_call>/<toolcall>, the latter is what the same codebase's Anthropic prompt
asks for) and all three argument key names (arguments/params/input) are accepted.
This is a defensive fallback: fixing the upstream shim to honour `tools` remains
the real fix, since the model still guesses parameter names.
Tests: TestNonStreamToolCallsPreserved covers all ten OpenAI-shaped adapters,
TestGeminiNonStreamToolCalls and TestOllamaNonStreamToolCalls cover their native
shapes, TestTraeTextToolCallRecovery covers both tag spellings, prose around the
block, and asserts a plain text answer never gains tool_calls.
Verified end-to-end against mock upstreams reproducing each shape: a full
two-round agent loop (tool call -> tool result -> final answer) now completes for
both the structured and the text-emitted variants.
sensenova: the deployed /etc/llmsproxy/adapters/sensenova.lua carried a fix that
never made it back into the repo — sensenova-6.8-flash-lite reports its chain of
thought in `reasoning` rather than `reasoning_content`, in both the single-shot
response and the stream deltas. Without this the model's output looked empty.
Repo and deployment now match byte for byte.
trae: the adapter was in use on this deployment but untracked, so a fresh
install had no way to serve the trae source.
