Headroom Daily: The CCR Streaming Cleanup
A wave of fixes today converged on one weak point in Headroom's proxy: the compressed context retrieval, or CCR, pathway that buffers streaming responses. Multiple independent bugs there were causing silent failures, dropped memory search results, and 400 errors from Anthropic - all now patched, with a consolidated fix still in review.

Today's biggest signal: the CCR buffered-streaming path had accumulated several distinct failure modes, and today they all got addressed at once. PR #2953 fixed a case where extended-thinking sessions died with a blank two-hundred response, because a stream-to-non-stream flip was getting silently discarded during…
Second theme: tool-injection trust. PR #2908 stopped the proxy from advertising a retrieval tool for compression markers it didn't actually create - previously, any tool emitting a similarly-shaped hash marker could trick Headroom into offering a tool call guaranteed to miss. PR #2533 and PR #2876 both patched the…
Third theme: data integrity in memory search. Commit 2d1e96b fixed a bug where malformed entity data from an LLM tool call could crash memory search entirely - and because the bad data persisted, recall silently stayed broken for anyone hitting it, discovered after four bad rows knocked out a whole project's memory…
Elsewhere: two Docker and dependency fixes landed - Bedrock auth was missing from published images, and an ONNX runtime mismatch was causing permanent deadlocks. Windows install and VS Code…
