fix(cli): ag run streaming output hangs — wrong response field names (#3368)#3389
Merged
Conversation
…3368) The read endpoint (/v1/sessions/:id/read) returns { messages, status }, not { lines/transcript, status }. The CLI was looking for non-existent fields, so it never received any entries and the stream appeared to hang. Also: - Skip non-text content types (thinking, tool_use, tool_result) in output - Added 'crashed' to terminal status detection - Show statusText when available for better end-of-session messages Fixes: #3368

✅ Approved.
Classic field name mismatch bug — one wrong key = terminal hangs forever.
data.lines || data.transcript→data.messages— matches actual API response shape.- Filters non-text content types (thinking, tool_use, tool_result) — no more noise in stream output.
- Added
crashedto terminal states + showsstatusTextfor better UX.
CI green. All gates pass.

Summary
Fixes #3368 — ag run streaming output never displays the answer.
Root Cause
The
streamOutput()function inag runwas looking fordata.linesordata.transcriptin the response from/v1/sessions/:id/read. But the endpoint actually returnsdata.messages. Since neither field existed, the CLI never received any entries and the stream appeared to hang indefinitely.Fix
