Description

Follow-up to #1099, per coderabbitai's review comment there: ttft_ms never reaches the platform when platform_active is true. build_streaming_response's _on_complete, _on_no_usage and _on_error all branch on platform_active and, when true, report through _report_platform_usage instead of log_usage. _report_platform_usage had no ttft_ms parameter or payload field, so #1099's TTFT tracking only reached the standalone path.

Gave _report_platform_usage an optional ttft_ms parameter and included it in the usage-report payload when set, then passed _ttft_ms(started_at, first_chunk_at) from the three streaming callbacks, the same call every standalone log_usage site already makes.

One thing worth flagging: this assumes the platform reads a field named ttft_ms, matching the name used everywhere else in this codebase (UsageLog.ttft_ms, log_usage's own parameter). I don't have visibility into the platform-side consumer, so that naming is not verified end to end, only that the gateway now sends it.

How to test it locally

uv run pytest tests/unit/test_pipeline_settlement.py -k ttft covers the three callbacks. Reverting just the _pipeline.py/_platform.py hunks turns the three new tests red (KeyError: 'ttft_ms') and the existing test_platform_stream_without_usage_reports_final_success red too (it asserts the full report payload).

Summary

  • Include ttft_ms in hybrid-mode platform reports for completed, no-usage, and errored streams.
  • Pass the request start time through all streaming fallback routes.
  • Document fallback-chain TTFT timing and add regression coverage.

This preserves time-to-first-token data in platform reports after a streamed chunk is received.

build_streaming_response's on_complete/on_no_usage/on_error report through
_report_platform_usage instead of log_usage when platform_active is true,
and _report_platform_usage had no ttft_ms parameter or payload field, so
mozilla-ai#1099's TTFT tracking never reached the platform.

Give _report_platform_usage an optional ttft_ms parameter, include it in
the usage-report payload when set, and pass it from the three streaming
callbacks the same way every standalone log_usage call site already does.

Walkthrough

Streaming platform usage reports now include TTFT for successful, no-usage, and errored streams. Streaming fallback paths forward the request start timestamp. Tests and protocol documentation cover payload, settlement, and fallback behavior.

Changes

Platform TTFT reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Report payload contract
src/gateway/api/routes/_platform.py, tests/unit/test_run_platform_attempts.py, docs/hybrid-mode-protocol.md
_report_platform_usage accepts optional ttft_ms data and adds it to the POST payload when present. Tests cover positive, zero, and absent values. The protocol documents request-start measurement across fallback attempts.
Streaming settlement propagation
src/gateway/api/routes/_pipeline.py, tests/unit/test_pipeline_settlement.py
Complete, no-usage, and error settlement callbacks pass calculated TTFT values to platform reporting. Tests verify non-negative values for each outcome and preserve None when no value is available.
Fallback timestamp wiring
src/gateway/api/routes/chat.py, src/gateway/api/routes/messages.py, src/gateway/api/routes/responses.py, tests/unit/test_pipeline_settlement.py, tests/integration/test_hybrid_mode_chat.py
The route handlers pass ctx.started_at through run_streaming_with_fallback to build_streaming_response. Tests verify timestamp forwarding and TTFT reporting for the winning fallback attempt.

ttft_ms still never reaches the platform: started_at is None on every hybrid streaming request, so all three new call sites compute None and the payload field is omitted. Details inline, plus the missing protocol-doc update.

Comment thread tests/unit/test_pipeline_settlement.py
The prior commit added ttft_ms reporting but never gave the hybrid
streaming path a start time to measure from: build_streaming_response
was called with started_at defaulting to None, so _ttft_ms(None, ...)
returned None on every real hybrid streaming request.

Add a started_at parameter to run_streaming_with_fallback, forward it
to build_streaming_response, and pass ctx.started_at from the three
route call sites (chat, messages, responses) so the interval matches
the standalone path's (request start, not runner entry).

Also move ttft_ms below the * in _report_platform_usage so it can
only be passed by keyword, since every call site already does and a
positional insertion here would silently misbind a future parameter.
Documented the new wire field in hybrid-mode-protocol.md and added a
regression test that exercises run_streaming_with_fallback directly
instead of calling build_streaming_response with an explicit
started_at, which is the shape that let the original gap through
review.

Pushed 61116bc. run_streaming_with_fallback now takes started_at and forwards it to build_streaming_response, and the three hybrid call sites (chat.py, messages.py, responses.py) pass ctx.started_at. Moved ttft_ms below the * in _report_platform_usage per your point on the 7th positional. Documented the field in hybrid-mode-protocol.md and added a test that goes through run_streaming_with_fallback itself rather than calling build_streaming_response directly.

🟡 Minor · Record TTFT for a carrier-first stream. · _pipeline.py:3648

src/gateway/api/routes/_pipeline.py:3648
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Record TTFT for a carrier-first stream. When the first chunk matches is_cost_carrier, streaming_generator buffers it before calling on_first_chunk. _on_complete reports ttft_ms before the buffer is flushed, so the report contains None even though the stream produced a chunk. Invoke on_first_chunk before buffering the first carrier and add a single-carrier regression test.

The wiring is complete: both build_streaming_response call sites now thread started_at, _flush_pending_usage_reports calls positionally so the new keyword-only parameter does not disturb it, and _on_incomplete has no platform branch to miss. No route or schema changed, so no generated artifacts are owed.

On the open question in the description about the field name: I checked the platform-side consumer. Its usage-report model ignores unknown fields, so the report is accepted rather than 422'd, but it has no ttft_ms field yet and drops the value. The gateway side is right to land first; the consumer change is tracked separately. Nothing to change here.

Three non-blocking comments inline.

Comment thread docs/hybrid-mode-protocol.md
Comment thread tests/unit/test_pipeline_settlement.py
Make started_at required on run_streaming_with_fallback rather than
defaulted; all three hybrid call sites already pass ctx.started_at,
which is typed float, so the None branch could only ever hide a
future call site that forgot to wire it.

Document that ttft_ms on a fallback chain is timed from the request's
start, not from the winning attempt's own start, since the report is
keyed by the winning attempt's correlation_id.

Add a wire-level assertion to the existing streaming-fallback
integration test: the success report already flowed through
usage_reports, nothing asserted ttft_ms on it.

Pushed a23963e for the three non-blocking comments: started_at is required now (all three callers already pass a float), the protocol doc notes that ttft_ms on a fallback chain includes earlier failed attempts, and the streaming-fallback integration test now asserts ttft_ms on the wire success report instead of only through the payload builder. Resolved the threads.

Appreciate the careful second pass on the started_at plumbing, that was the right catch.
