fix(ai): run onAbort when a chat() consumer stops iterating - #2098
When a chat() consumer stops with break or return(), no terminal middleware hook runs: no onFinish, onAbort or onError. A middleware's run record, spans or sandbox then stay open. chat() now aborts the run when its consumer stops, so onAbort runs once, as the middleware docs promise. A stop at a client-tool or approval pause still runs onFinish, so the paused state is kept.
🎯 Changes
TextEngine.run() in packages/ai/src/activities/chat/index.ts now wraps the old body, renamed runSteps(). If the consumer does not resume after a chunk, run() aborts the run before the loop closes runSteps(). The finally in runSteps() then reports onAbort.
One exception: a stop at a RUN_FINISHED with outcome.type === 'interrupt' (a client-tool or approval pause). That chunk ends the invocation, and only runTerminalHook() runs after it. So run() reads runSteps() to the end without yielding, and the pause runs onFinish, as a drained pause does. Without this, withSandbox would destroy the sandbox that the paused run needs.
runWhileYielding() waits for its hook work when the consumer closes it. A consumer can stop at a custom event that a hook such as setup emits while it is still running. Before, onAbort then ran while setup went on, so withSandbox could create a sandbox after its teardown.
Unit test: tests/consumer-stop-terminal-hook.test.ts stops a fakeText() run with break and with return(), and drains one run as a control. It also stops a tool run at its RUN_FINISHED: a server tool turn gives onAbort and no second model call, and a client-tool or approval pause gives onFinish. A stop at a custom event from a slow setup gives onAbort only after setup ends. Each case asserts the exact hook.
E2E: a chat.spec.ts case. A new route, api.chat-consumer-stop.ts, iterates chat() over aimock, breaks at the first text chunk, and returns the terminal hooks that ran. routeTree.gen.ts is the generated route tree.
Docs: the onAbort row in docs/advanced/middleware-advanced.md now lists a consumer that stops iterating. The paragraph on pauses says which hook runs when the consumer stops at a RUN_FINISHED. Both middleware pages already say that exactly one terminal hook runs per chat() call. This is a factual fix, so docs/config.json does not change.

🚀 Release Impact
This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).
Root cause
Issue. A chat() consumer that stops iterating, with break in for await or with the iterator's return(), runs no terminal middleware hook. This occurs with every adapter. The docs say exactly one terminal hook runs per chat() call (docs/advanced/middleware.md, docs/advanced/middleware-advanced.md).
Cause.return() at a yield in TextEngine.run() skips runTerminalHook() and the catch. The finally calls onAbort only when isCancelled() is true. The run is not cancelled, so no hook runs.
Fix.run() now iterates runSteps() (the old body) and yields each chunk. If the consumer stops at that yield, run() aborts the run's middleware controller first. The for await loop then closes runSteps(), and its finally sees a cancelled run and calls onAbort. Core's own cancel path in stream-to-response.ts uses the same order: abort, then return().
Possible alternatives
Call onAbort in the finally whenever no hook ran. This is one line. But the boundary-interrupt paths at beforeModel and afterModel also return with no hook and no cancel, and this rule would give them onAbort too. A pause is not an abort.
Fix it in each integration that calls return(), such as ai-effect. Each integration would need its own fix, and plain for await users would still get no hook. The engine is the one place that every streaming caller of engine.run() goes through.

The control case, a full drain, records ['onFinish'] on both sides. With the abort line removed and only the run() / runSteps() split kept, the same 3 cases fail. So both parts are needed.
Manual test
On main, add this PR's test file. Run pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai exec vitest run tests/consumer-stop-terminal-hook.test.ts. Three cases fail with an empty hook list.
On this branch, run the same command. All 8 cases pass.
Build @tanstack/ai. Then run pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e exec playwright test tests/chat.spec.ts --grep "breaks out". The route returns { "hooks": ["onAbort"] }.
How this PR makes testing easy. The unit test uses fakeText(), so it needs no network and no provider. The E2E route returns the hook list as JSON, so a failure shows which hooks ran.
A break at the final RUN_FINISHED of a completed run gives onAbort. All output was delivered, so onFinish is arguably correct. A pause can drain safely because nothing but the terminal hook follows it. After a stopRUN_FINISHED, a structured-output finalization or a loop-stop RUN_FINISHED can still follow, so run() cannot tell from the chunk alone. The engine would need a "final terminal already yielded" flag. The test now asserts onAbort for this case. I can change it either way.
Boundary-interrupt pauses. The returns after emitBoundaryInterrupts('beforeModel') and emitBoundaryInterrupts('afterModel') exit with no hook and no cancel. From reading the code (not run), those pauses run no terminal hook either, although the docs say onFinish runs on pauses. This PR does not change them.
Risk / rollback
Low. A run that the consumer drains to the end does not change. A consumer that stops early now gets onAbort, and the abort also cancels the in-flight provider request when the caller passed a signal. A middleware that did cleanup only in onFinish sees no change. To undo, revert the PR.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Middleware now receives onAbort when chat stream consumption stops early, including after a completed run. Stopping at a client-tool or approval pause still runs onFinish and preserves the paused state; fully consumed streams also receive onFinish.
Documentation
Clarified which terminal hook runs when iteration stops at different points in a chat stream.
Tests
Added coverage for stopping chat streams at different points and verifying the expected terminal hooks.
The engine aborts the run when the consumer stops at a yield (break or
return()), so runSteps()'s finally reports onAbort and every run gets
exactly one terminal hook.
ClosesTanStack#2097
When a consumer stops iterating a chat stream, the engine aborts the middleware controller unless the consumer stops at an interrupt RUN_FINISHED chunk. In that case, the engine drains the remaining steps without yielding them. runWhileYielding() waits for its underlying work when its generator closes early. Unit and end-to-end tests cover terminal-hook outcomes.
Changes: Chat consumer-stop handling

Handle early stops and pause completion packages/ai/src/activities/chat/index.ts, packages/ai/tests/consumer-stop-terminal-hook.test.ts, docs/advanced/middleware-advanced.md, .changeset/chat-consumer-stop-onabort.md
TextEngine.run() delegates execution to runSteps(). If iteration stops at an interrupt RUN_FINISHED, it drains remaining steps without yielding; otherwise, it aborts the middleware controller. runWhileYielding() awaits its underlying work when its generator closes early. Unit tests cover breaks, return(), pause completion, and full stream consumption. The documentation and changeset describe these outcomes.
Verify consumer-stop behavior end to end testing/e2e/src/routes/api.chat-consumer-stop.ts, testing/e2e/src/routeTree.gen.ts, testing/e2e/tests/chat.spec.ts
The new route stops consuming at the first text-content event without explicitly aborting and returns recorded hooks. The end-to-end test expects only onAbort.

Explanation
The title "fix(ai): run onAbort when a chat() consumer stops iterating" names the main change: a chat() consumer that stops iterating now triggers onAbort. The changeset, engine change, tests, and docs all support this. The title is short, specific, and follows a conventional prefix. It does not cover the onFinish exception for client-tool or approval pauses, but that detail is secondary and does not make the title misleading.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#2097] Required outcome: a chat() consumer that stops iteration runs exactly one terminal hook, onAbort. At head 21afed0, TextEngine.run() in packages/ai/src/activities/chat/index.ts wraps the former body as runSteps(). When the consumer stops at a yield without resuming, run() calls middlewareAbortController.abort() before the for-await loop closes runSteps(). The runSteps() finally then reports onAbort. This is the abort-then-close order the issue proposes. The unit tests in packages/ai/tests/consumer-stop-terminal-hook.test.ts assert exact arrays: break after TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT gives ['onAbort']; break after the final RUN_FINISHED gives ['onAbort']; break after a server-tool turn gives ['onAbort'] with one tool call; break at a setup CUSTOM event gives onAbort after setup ends; return() after TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT gives ['onAbort']. A full drain gives ['onFinish'].
Deviation from the issue's blanket expectation: a stop at RUN_FINISHED with outcome.type 'interrupt' (client-tool or approval pause) drains the remaining steps and yields onFinish. The test asserts ['onFinish'] for both pause kinds. Exactly one terminal hook still runs. The docs in middleware-advanced.md define a pause as onFinish, and the issue cites #1028 for client-tool waits. So this deviation is a documented choice, not an unmet requirement. The issue's open question on the final RUN_FINISHED is resolved as onAbort, which matches the issue's proposed fix.
Not covered: #2094 (pending next() interrupt) and #2091 (ai-effect probe) are not requirements here. The author did not rerun the ai-effect probe on this exact code. Unit results for the latest round come from reading the test assertions and from author-reported runs. The E2E run and full suite were not rerun for the latest CodeRabbit round.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Each changed area connects to the #2097 objective. packages/ai/src/activities/chat/index.ts holds the run()/runSteps() split, the abort on consumer stop, and the pause drain. The runWhileYielding() change (try/finally that awaits the pending work on generator close) supports the setup-custom-event stop case. Without it, onAbort could run before setup ends. The test file covers the stop cases and the control drain. The E2E route, the chat.spec.ts case, and the generated routeTree.gen.ts entry support the same behavior. The docs change covers the onAbort row and the pause paragraph. The changeset is a patch for @tanstack/ai. No unrelated behavior change was found. Boundary-interrupt returns at beforeModel and afterModel are unchanged, as the PR states.
Residual uncertainty: the runWhileYielding() change relies on done settling without rejecting. The surrounding code (if (error !== undefined) throw error) suggests it does. The helper body was not visible in the diff, so this was not verified.

- Line 788: Update the `onAbort` documentation entry to clarify that normal
completion and client-tool or approval pauses run `onFinish` when the stream is
drained; stopping iteration at the `RUN_FINISHED` chunk can instead run
`onAbort`, so the pause alone does not trigger `onFinish`.
Review comments at @packages/ai/src/activities/chat/index.ts:
- Around line 1552-1562: Update the iterator-close handling around `runSteps()`
so breaking after a client-tool or approval `RUN_FINISHED` preserves pause
terminal handling rather than aborting. Distinguish that interrupt event from
ordinary consumer cancellation, ensuring the paused run reaches `onFinish` and
its sandbox is not destroyed.
- Around line 1552-1562: Coordinate startup work in runSteps with
middlewareAbortController cancellation so setup cannot continue creating
resources after consumer cancellation triggers onAbort. Ensure startup cleanup
completes or is prevented before the terminal hook runs, including setup such as
withSandbox.

A consumer that stops at a client-tool or approval RUN_FINISHED now
finishes the invocation unseen, so it runs onFinish as a drained pause
does and keeps the paused state. Any other stop still runs onAbort.
A consumer that stops at a custom event closes runWhileYielding while
its work runs. It now waits for that work, so setup cannot create a
resource after onAbort has run.

Avoid blocking cancellation on unfinished hook work.
If a setup hook emits a custom event and then hangs, breaking on that event waits indefinitely for the hook. onAbort and MCP cleanup cannot run. Ensure cancellation can complete without an unbounded wait, while preventing late hook work from racing cleanup.

Effect does not awaitreturn()while a read is pending, so that case needs its own fix.Open questions
breakat the finalRUN_FINISHEDof a completed run givesonAbort. All output was delivered, soonFinishis arguably correct. A pause can drain safely because nothing but the terminal hook follows it. After astopRUN_FINISHED, a structured-output finalization or a loop-stopRUN_FINISHEDcan still follow, sorun()cannot tell from the chunk alone. The engine would need a "final terminal already yielded" flag. The test now assertsonAbortfor this case. I can change it either way.emitBoundaryInterrupts('beforeModel')andemitBoundaryInterrupts('afterModel')exit with no hook and no cancel. From reading the code (not run), those pauses run no terminal hook either, although the docs sayonFinishruns on pauses. This PR does not change them.Risk / rollback
Low. A run that the consumer drains to the end does not change. A consumer that stops early now gets
onAbort, and the abort also cancels the in-flight provider request when the caller passed a signal. A middleware that did cleanup only inonFinishsees no change. To undo, revert the PR.Summary by CodeRabbit
onAbortwhen chat stream consumption stops early, including after a completed run. Stopping at a client-tool or approval pause still runsonFinishand preserves the paused state; fully consumed streams also receiveonFinish.
