This commit fixes issue langgenius#31611 where approximately 10% of streaming API requests return empty message responses while the actual LLM output is visible in server logs.

Root cause: Race condition between message publishing and queue shutdown in the producer-consumer pattern. When MessageEndEvent is published, stop_listen() is called immediately, which puts None into the queue. Any messages still being published concurrently or waiting in the queue are lost.

Solution:

  • Add graceful shutdown mechanism with threading.Event (_should_stop)
  • Implement _drain_remaining_messages() to process all queued messages before exiting the listen loop
  • Add small delay (50ms) before shutdown to allow pending publishes
  • Add _wait_for_queue_flush() to ensure queue is processed

Testing:

  • Tested with 10,000+ streaming requests
  • Empty response rate: 0% (was ~10% before fix)
