feat: WebSocket transport — full-duplex resumable streams - #969
feat: WebSocket transport — full-duplex resumable streams#969AlemTuzlak wants to merge 27 commits into
Conversation
Add a full-duplex WebSocket chat demo to ts-react-chat: a Vite dev-server
plugin (websocket-chat-plugin.ts) hooks the Node http server's `upgrade`
event and wires toWebSocketStream/resumeWebSocketStream around chat() with
gpt-5.5, mirroring the pattern in testing/e2e's durable-delivery-ws-plugin
(no WebSocketPair on Node/Nitro). The /websocket-chat route uses useChat with
the webSocket() connection adapter, linked from the nav.
@tanstack/ai-react didn't re-export webSocket/WebSocketConnectionOptions from
@tanstack/ai-client yet (only the other connection adapters were), so this
adds that re-export as it's required for the example's `import { useChat,
webSocket } from '@tanstack/ai-react'`.
Document the new WebSocket transport (toWebSocketStream/toWebSocketResponse, resumeWebSocketStream/resumeWebSocketResponse, client webSocket()): a new standalone WebSockets page, a short intro + snippet in the Overview, a reconnect/lifecycle summary in Advanced, and a pointer from Connection Adapters to the built-in adapter instead of the old hand-rolled example.

In `@docs/chat/connection-adapters.md`:
- Around line 299-312: Add a concise server endpoint example to the WebSockets
section alongside the existing client webSocket usage, demonstrating the paired
toWebSocketStream or toWebSocketResponse integration. Keep the example
consistent with the documented server-side WebSocket APIs and retain the
existing link for protocol and hosting details.
In `@docs/resumable-streams/websockets.md`:
- Line 243: Remove the `as unknown as WebSocketLike` assertion from the
`socketLike` assignment in the WebSocket example; pass `ws` directly if it
satisfies the interface, otherwise use a type guard or property validation so
the sample type-checks without any `as` cast.
In `@packages/ai-client/src/connection-adapters.ts`:
- Around line 1690-1691: Update the ws.onmessage handler to guard
JSON.parse(String(event.data)) with try/catch. On malformed frames, call failAll
with a StreamReadError containing the caught error so stream consumers receive a
deterministic failure instead of hanging; preserve the existing handling for
successfully parsed messages.
- Around line 1721-1734: Update the ws.onclose handler in the connection adapter
to notify joinRun listeners when the socket closes even if currentSession is
undefined. Preserve the existing session reconnect and non-durable failure
behavior, while ensuring pending joinRun iterators are rejected or otherwise
terminated instead of remaining unresolved.
In `@packages/ai/src/stream-to-websocket.ts`:
- Around line 179-221: The handleInbound function must not overwrite an active
controller for the same runId. Before activeTurns.set(params.runId, turnAbort),
retrieve any existing controller, abort it or reject the duplicate run, then
store the new controller only when appropriate; preserve the existing ownership
check in the finally cleanup.

wss.handleUpgrade() has completed the handshake before this callback runs. If validation fails, call ws.terminate() before returning. Otherwise, the accepted socket remains open without a stream handler.

WebSocket transport
Adds WebSockets as a third streaming transport alongside SSE and NDJSON, reusing the delivery-durability seam that landed in #955. Full-duplex, conversation-scoped, resumable.
Server (
@tanstack/ai)toWebSocketStream(socket, request, { onRun, durability?, batch?, heartbeatMs?, idleTimeoutMs?, debug? })— portable core that pumps a conversation over an already-accepted WHATWGWebSocketLikeserver socket (Node viaws, Bun, etc.).toWebSocketResponse(request, init)— thin wrapper that upgrades viaWebSocketPairand returns a 101Responseon Cloudflare Workers/Durable Objects; throws elsewhere, pointing you totoWebSocketStream.resumeWebSocketStream(socket, { adapter })/resumeWebSocketResponse({ adapter })— read-only replay of a run from the durability log (no model call).chat()turns (client-tool resubmits, follow-up messages), you pass anonRun(ctx) => AsyncIterable<StreamChunk>factory instead of a prebuilt stream — it's called per inboundRunAgentInputframe. Durability is keyed per turn and reuses the existingdurableStreamSource(now exported), so server→client frames carry the same{ id, chunk }envelope as NDJSON.{ type: 'abort', runId }frame (aborts only that turn), or idle timeout; periodic{ type: 'ping' }heartbeat.Client (
