From 3bcef2be37d7d187ec33d408e6a6171680ec05a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GUOHAO LIU <94768569+lennney@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 11:51:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(cache): extract tool_result content from list-of-blocks format (#2092) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Description Closes #2053 Modern Claude Code sends `tool_result` content as a list of typed blocks (`[{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]`) instead of a plain string. `_extract_tool_result_content` and `_swap_tool_result_content` in `compression_cache.py` only handled the plain string case, so every tool_result was skipped before compression — zero savings for all `headroom wrap claude` users. Fix: extract text from list-of-blocks content in `_extract_tool_result_content`, and collapse the list to a single text block in `_swap_tool_result_content` when replacing with compressed content. ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking) - [ ] New feature (non-breaking) - [ ] Breaking change - [ ] Documentation update ## Changes Made - `headroom/cache/compression_cache.py`: - Added `_extract_text_from_blocks()` helper to extract joined text from Anthropic list-of-blocks format - Updated `_extract_tool_result_content()` to handle list content in both Anthropic tool_result blocks and OpenAI role=tool messages - Updated `_swap_tool_result_content()` to collapse list-of-blocks to a single text block when replacing content (preserves structure, prevents multi-block join mismatch) - `tests/test_token_headroom_mode.py`: Added 12 tests covering Anthropic list-of-blocks, OpenAI list, mixed blocks, empty list, non-mutation, missing-text-block fallback, and non-tool messages ## Testing - [x] Existing tests pass - [x] New tests cover the fix - [x] PBT round-trip property verified (6 properties × 850+ random examples) - [x] Adversarial edge case tests pass (50 cases across 3 functions) ``` tests/test_token_headroom_mode.py ....................... 32 passed (0.35s) tests/test_transforms_content_router.py ................. 37 passed (1.08s) tests/test_backend_bugs.py ............................... 37 passed (4.86s) ``` ## Real Behavior Proof - Environment: headroom main (upstream/main at time of PR), uv-managed Python 3.12 - Exact command / steps: 1. `uv run python -m pytest tests/test_token_headroom_mode.py -x -q --no-header` 2. `uv run python /tmp/pbt_tool_result_content.py` (PBT round-trip, 200 examples each property) 3. `uv run python /tmp/adversarial_lens_security.py` (50 edge case checks) 4. Design scan: grep'd codebase for `isinstance(content, str)` near tool_result — 3 sibling functions (`_to_text`, `_block_text`) already handle list-of-blocks - Observed result: All 106 tests pass. PBT confirmed extract+swap round-trip invariant holds for 850+ random inputs. 50 adversarial edge cases (null/None/nested/unicode/100K chars/1000 blocks) produce no crashes or wrong output. - Not tested: live proxy with real Claude Code traffic (the ContentRouter already handles list content correctly since v0.32.0, confirmed by code audit) ## Review Readiness - [x] I have performed a self-review - [x] This PR is ready for human review --------- Co-authored-by: lennney Co-authored-by: JD Davis --- headroom/cache/compression_cache.py | 32 +++++- tests/test_token_headroom_mode.py | 159 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/headroom/cache/compression_cache.py b/headroom/cache/compression_cache.py index a5ec4bf53..71beb4091 100644 --- a/headroom/cache/compression_cache.py +++ b/headroom/cache/compression_cache.py @@ -40,12 +40,29 @@ def _is_tool_result_message(msg: dict) -> bool: return False +def _extract_text_from_blocks(blocks: list) -> str | None: + """Extract joined text from a list-of-blocks content (e.g. Anthropic list-of-text-blocks). + + Modern Claude Code sends ``tool_result`` content as a list of typed + blocks (``[{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]``) instead of a plain + string.
