What

  • Fixed an issue where raw JSON responses were shown only in the non-streaming flow
  • Improved backend LLM response handling to properly fallback when response values are empty
  • Replaced dict.get(key, default) with explicit value-or-default logic
  • Added a shared frontend constant for no-response scenarios
  • Updated frontend logic to display a user-friendly fallback message

Why

  • The issue affected non-streaming responses only, since streaming mode yields plain text chunks and does not operate on JSON payloads
  • In the non-streaming flow, dict.get(key, default) returned empty values when keys existed but contained no data
  • This caused empty or unreadable LLM responses to reach the frontend and be rendered as raw JSON
  • The change ensures consistent backend behavior and improves UX by always showing a clear fallback message

- Replaced dict.get(key, default) with value-or-default fallback logic
- Added a shared "no response" message constant on the frontend
- Updated frontend to show a friendly message instead of raw JSON responses

@Pavilion4ik the PR makes sense. Where you able to consistently reproduce the error? I know it happened for me sometimes, but I could not tell if it was related to streaming+functions at the same time

For consistency I think we should leave it the same as the backend: "No response available"
