fix(ai-mistral): report model_length stop as a length finish - #2111
A Mistral response that stops with finish_reason: 'model_length' (the model's context window is exhausted) is reported as a normal stop in the stream, and as a JSON parse error in structuredOutput. This PR reports it as a length finish in the stream and as a context-window error in structuredOutput.
🎯 Changes
Only model_length handling changes in packages/ai-mistral/src/adapters/text.ts. Includes two adapter regression tests and a patch changeset.
I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request. (Ran the package vitest suite, tsc and oxfmt; not the full test:pr.)
I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing. (No docs change: length is already a documented finishReason, and the Mistral page does not list provider stop reasons.)
Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.
🚀 Release Impact
This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).
Root cause
Issue. Mistral callers get finishReason: 'stop' on RUN_FINISHED for a reply cut off by the context window, so it looks complete and the default untilFinishReason(['length']) loop strategy does not see it. structuredOutput reports the truncated JSON as a parse error. Cause.chatStream and structuredOutput compare only against 'length'. model_length is a separate value of ChatCompletionChoiceFinishReason in @mistralai/mistralai. Fix. The stream maps model_length to length. structuredOutput throws its own error with finish_reason=model_length and the advice to shorten the prompt or use a model with a larger context window. The max_tokens advice does not apply here. Usage stays on the error, as in the length case.
Possible alternatives
Use the existing length error for both reasons in structuredOutput. Its text names finish_reason=length and says to raise max_tokens, which does not help when the context window is full. ai-anthropic also uses a separate context-window message.
Testing
Ran npx vitest run in packages/ai-mistral (Docker node:22, after pnpm install and building the package's workspace dependencies).
With the adapter source from main and the new tests, both new cases fail:
tsc --noEmit in packages/ai-mistral and oxfmt --check on the changed package and changeset pass. The full pnpm test:pr and the E2E suite were not run. No call to the live Mistral API was made; the tests mock the SDK.
Manual test:
Restore packages/ai-mistral/src/adapters/text.ts from main, then run npx vitest run tests/mistral-adapter.test.ts in packages/ai-mistral. The two model_length tests fail.
Restore this branch's file and run the command again. They pass.
The two new tests in tests/mistral-adapter.test.ts are the easy path for this PR.
Risk / rollback
Low risk: only the model_length reason changes. Revert this PR to restore the prior mapping.
AI assistance was used to prepare this change and its tests.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Mistral responses that stop because the model reaches its length limit are now reported as length-limited in streaming results.
Structured-output requests that reach the context window now return a clearer error, including usage information when available and guidance to shorten the prompt or choose a model with a larger context window. This replaces a less specific JSON parsing error and helps distinguish context-window limits from output-token limits.
When structuredOutput receives model_length, it reports a context-window cutoff and includes usage when available. The test covers incomplete JSON, and the changeset describes the update.
TanStack/ai#2101: Changes the same streaming finish-reason mapping and adds related tests.
TanStack/ai#1974: Introduces usage handling for structured-output errors, which the new model_length branch also uses.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 26e88
The cutoff handling is mergeable. Tool-call finish precedence remains an existing limitation, and an additional usage assertion would improve regression coverage.

Explanation
The description follows the template and covers the root cause, the fix, testing, and risk. It also includes the changes section, the checklist, and release impact. Two checklist items are unchecked: the full test:pr run was not done, and no docs update was made. The author gives a reason for each unchecked item. Both reasons are acceptable under the template, so the description is mostly complete.

Cover usage on model_length errors.
The new test supplies no usage and checks only the error message. Add a model_length case to the structured-output usage test to detect loss of billed-token usage.

Preserve model_length when a tool call was emitted.
If a stream emits a parseable tool call before model_length, the adapter reports tool_calls instead of length. The core can then execute the call rather than suppress it as truncated. Give model_length precedence over the emitted-tool fallback.
