+ * and belongs to the OpenAI-compatible adapter alone. Left in, every commit
+ * summary a client reads would open with the model deliberating.
+ *
+ * Mega's equivalent handles a STREAM, where a tag can split across chunk
+ * boundaries ("<thi" + "nk>") and text must be held back. This phase does not
+ * stream, so the whole string is available and the simple form is correct.
