A streaming handler returns the moment the response head exists — often minutes before the request ends — and it wrote the request's access-log line right there. The consequences were all on the same line: a stream the caller abandoned logged 200 beside its own 499 usage event, a delivered stream's line carried neither the token counts nor the provider response id, and one request read as two records under two statuses.

Six families did this: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/messages, /v1/responses, the two audio transcription routes, and /a2a. Passthrough already wrote its line at the stream's end, and is the shape the others now follow.

What changed

A streaming handler no longer writes the line at all. It parks the fields only it can resolve on the request's attribution cell (attribution::PendingAccessLog), and the line goes out from usage_attr::emit_usage with the request's terminal usage event — whichever of the stream's three endings produced it:

ending status error_message
delivered 200
abandoned mid-flight 499 …while the response was streaming
dropped before its first poll 499 …before the response body was streamed

Taking the parked line out of the cell is also the interlock, so however many of a request's terminal emitters race, exactly one line is written. The line and the row now agree on status, error_class and error_message by construction rather than by each family remembering to — and the streamed line carries the token counts, provider_request_id, upstream_model and provider_key_id that only exist once the upstream has answered.

Two supporting changes make the cell reachable from where the line is now written: the response body is polled inside the request's attribution scope (the delivered ending runs there), and the cancel guard installs the cell around its own emit (the two abandoned endings run from Drop, outside every scope).

duration_ms

Every access-log line gains duration_ms: how long the request occupied the gateway, arrival to last byte out. latency_ms keeps its meaning — what the caller waited for, time-to-first-token on a stream (AISIX-Cloud#1394) — so on a streamed line the two differ by the length of the stream, and on everything buffered they are the same number. Passthrough's streamed line now reports its first relayed frame in latency_ms for the same reason, instead of the whole relay.

The usage event's shape is unchanged, and no metric changed.

Scope notes

  • /v1/completions refuses stream: true, so it has no stream to defer to and only gains the new field.
  • /v1/audio/speech relays bytes but meters at its own tail, so it keeps writing its line there — there is no later emitter to carry one.
  • On /a2a and the audio transcription relay, latency_ms equals the whole-stream figure their usage event already reports as the caller's wait. Reporting a time-to-first-frame there would mean changing what downstream_latency_ms means on those two surfaces, which this does not touch.
  • telemetry_handled_by_stream is not the same predicate as "the response is a stream" — chat's buffered ensemble sets it to mean "already emitted". The chat tail conjoins req.is_streaming(), or that request's line would be parked with nothing left to write it.

Tests

Rust, per family (chat, messages, responses, audio, a2a), driving all three stream endings: exactly one line each, the status and failure class the request's usage event reports, duration_ms >= latency_ms, and the target fields present on the abandoned endings. The chat case additionally compares the line against the usage event field by field. /v1/completions pins the buffered regression: one line, duration_ms == latency_ms. The delivered ending holds the stream open after its first frame, so a line reporting the whole stream in latency_ms cannot pass.

Mutation-checked: restoring the tail-time write turns the status assertions red on every streamed family; transposing the two duration fields turns three of the five red (audio's two figures are the same span by design, as above).

E2E: a streaming chat request abandoned mid-flight writes exactly one line for its request_id, status=499 / error_kind="client_disconnected", naming model, upstream_model and provider_key_id — and the mock-SLS row for the same request carries the same status and message.

…tream ends, not when its head does

A streaming handler returns the moment the response head exists — often
minutes before the request ends — and it wrote the request's access-log
line there. So a stream the caller abandoned logged `200` beside its own
`499` usage event, a delivered stream's line carried neither the token
counts nor the provider response id, and one request read as two records
under two statuses.

Six families did this: chat, messages, responses, audio's two transcription
routes, and a2a. Passthrough already wrote its line at the stream's end and
is the shape the others now follow.

A streaming handler no longer writes the line at all. It parks the fields
only it can resolve on the request's attribution cell
(`attribution::PendingAccessLog`), and the line goes out from
`usage_attr::emit_usage` with the request's TERMINAL usage event — whichever
of the stream's three endings produced it: delivered, abandoned mid-flight,
or dropped before its first poll. Taking the parked line out of the cell is
also the interlock, so however many terminal emitters race, exactly one line
is written. The line and the row therefore agree on `status`, `error_class`
and `error_message` by construction rather than by each family remembering
to, and the streamed line now carries the counts and `provider_request_id`
that only exist once the upstream has answered.

Two supporting changes make that reachable: the response body is polled
inside the request's attribution scope (the delivered ending runs there),
and the cancel guard installs the cell around its own emit (the two
abandoned endings run from `Drop`, outside every scope).

Every access-log line also gains `duration_ms`, how long the request
occupied the gateway. `latency_ms` keeps its meaning — what the CALLER
waited for, time-to-first-token on a stream (AISIX-Cloud#1394) — so the two
differ by the length of the stream and coincide on everything buffered.
Passthrough's streamed line now reports its first relayed frame in
`latency_ms` for the same reason, instead of the whole relay.

`/v1/completions` refuses `stream: true`, so it only gains the new field.
`/v1/audio/speech` relays bytes but meters at its tail, so it keeps writing
its line there. On `/a2a` and the audio transcription relay, `latency_ms`
equals the whole-stream figure their usage event already reports as the
caller's wait; reporting a time-to-first-frame there would mean changing
what `downstream_latency_ms` means, which this does not touch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds separate access-log latency and duration fields. Streaming requests now defer access-log emission until terminal usage events, including cancellation and abandoned streams. Proxy endpoints and shared tests adopt and verify this behavior.

Changes

Streaming access-log attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Access-log contract and duration propagation
crates/aisix-obs/src/access_log.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/*.rs
AccessLog now records duration separately from latency. Proxy endpoints populate duration, and passthrough routes measure streaming latency to the first relayed frame.
Deferred attribution and cancellation wiring
crates/aisix-proxy/AGENTS.md, crates/aisix-proxy/src/attribution.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/usage_attr.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/cancel.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/lib.rs
PendingAccessLog stores streamed request data and emits one record from the terminal usage event. Cancellation status, error fields, messages, and cache-inclusive token totals are finalized before emission.
Streaming endpoint adoption
crates/aisix-proxy/src/a2a.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/audio.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/chat.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/messages.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/responses.rs
Streaming paths transfer access-log ownership to terminal stream handling. Buffered and non-streaming paths continue to emit immediately.
Shared streaming validation
crates/aisix-proxy/src/test_log.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/lib.rs, tests/e2e/src/cases/*.test.ts
Shared helpers and integration tests verify one access-log line per stream ending, terminal status and errors, attribution, usage fields, provider IDs, latency, and duration.

Explanation

The PR adds valid end-to-end coverage for the binary, etcd configuration, mock upstreams, and SLS usage records. Rust tests also cover delivered, mid-stream abandoned, and unread endings across the affected families. However, the new mid-stream E2E test reads app.output() immediately after waitForSlsLog() returns. The child output is captured asynchronously, and SLS delivery is a separate asynchronous path. emit_usage writes the access log before it enqueues the SLS export, but neither ordering guarantees that the parent has received the stderr pipe data when the SLS poll succeeds. The test can therefore fail with zero matching access-log lines even when the behavior is correct.

Resolution

Poll for the access-log line for the exact requestId before asserting its fields and count. Reuse or add a waitForLogLine-style helper with a deadline that reads app.output() until the matching proxy request completed line is present. Then assert the matching lines contain exactly one entry and validate the status, error, attribution, and duration fields.

…response id

The line is written at the stream's end now, so the claim this spec was
built on — that the id lands after the request's access-log line — no
longer holds. Assert the line carries it, and keep the per-attempt line
for what only it can say: one row per provider call of a retried or
failed-over request.

…d take the caller's wait verbatim

Three review findings on the deferred access-log line, all in what the line
reports rather than where it is written.

`total_tokens` summed only the two visible columns. `prompt_tokens` excludes
`cache_creation_tokens` and `cache_read_tokens` on the Anthropic-shaped
paths, so a streamed call with prompt caching logged a total an order of
magnitude under the row it was emitted beside — 89 against 102 in the test
that now pins it. It uses `total_tokens_with_cache`, like every other total
in the crate.

`latency` treated `downstream_latency_ms == 0` as "never stamped" and fell
back to the whole request. It is also a real value: the field is truncated
milliseconds, so a co-located upstream whose first frame lands in under a
millisecond stamps `0` — and the line would then report the length of the
stream as the caller's wait, the exact AISIX-Cloud#1394 misreading. The
figure is now taken verbatim off the event, so the line and the row cannot
report two different waits.

`duration`'s doc claimed "arrival to last byte out" everywhere. That holds
wherever the line is written at completion, but `/v1/audio/speech` and
`/v1/videos/{id}/content` meter at their handler tail and relay an
open-ended body afterwards; theirs ends at the response head. The field says
so.

Also: `/v1/messages` and `/v1/responses` conjoin their own streaming flag
before parking a line, the way chat already does, so reusing
`usage_handled_by_stream` to mean "already emitted" on a buffered path
cannot silently lose a line. The audio tails have no second predicate — the
flag there means the response IS a live relay — and say so.

Review (CodeRabbit): the stream-ending driver treated `Some(Err(_))` as a
delivered frame, so a body that broke on its first poll would have passed as
the delivered ending; and the e2e swallowed every `reader.cancel()`
rejection rather than just the abort's own.

Ref api7/AISIX-Cloud#1571
…ond one beside it

A streaming family parks its access-log line at its handler tail and chat
then awaits once more — peeking the rate limiter to fill the
`x-ratelimit-*` headers. A caller that hangs up in that window leaves the
guard in its HEAD phase with the request's line already on the cell, so both
emitters spoke: the guard built its own `499` line and `cancel::emit` then
wrote the parked one under the same status and the same message. One request
read as two near-identical records, and counting `499` lines doubled it.

The head phase now stands down when a line is parked. The parked one is the
fuller of the two — it names the model, the dispatched target and the
routing counts — and it cannot fall between the two emitters: a parked line
means the request authenticated on a metering surface, which is the gate
`cancel::emit` applies before emitting the terminal event that carries it.

Found by review; the window is reachable today on `/v1/chat/completions`
with a Redis rate-limit backend, where the peek is a real round trip.
