**Core Streaming Fixes**
The development team resolved several critical streaming issues. Nick Hollon fixed a bug where reasoning blocks were silently dropped alongside tool calls in v3 stream events, particularly affecting Gemini 2.5 Pro with thoughts enabled. The root cause was improper block grouping when providers don't supply index…
Another streaming fix preserved chunk additional_kwargs across v3 stream assembly. Previously, streaming and non-streaming flows diverged for providers using additional_kwargs to carry metadata, breaking features like Gemini's function call thought signatures.
Hollon also improved message conversion by adding support for Serializable constructor-envelope wire shapes in the convert_to_message function, addressing JSON serialization compatibility.
**Provider and Integration Fixes**
