The Anthropic Managed-Agents SSE stream (`/v1/sessions/{id}/events/stream`)
is not guaranteed to stay open for the life of a multi-turn session.
Inter-turn gaps (e.g. while MCP tools or the next model request run) of
~25s+ are common and can trigger upstream / proxy read timeouts; when
that happens, the SDK's `for await` iterator just ends and the proxy
silently closed the downstream response, leaving the browser with only
the events from the first tool batch.
Implement the official 'consolidation' pattern: treat any upstream
end-of-stream that isn't a terminal `session.status_*` as a transient
drop, fetch what we missed via `sessions.events.list()` (deduped by
event.id), reopen the live stream, and keep going — up to a 20 minute
wall-clock budget so a wedged session can't pin the function forever.
Also switch the wire format from inline-markdown-with-status-comments to
NDJSON, so the React side can render in-flight tool activity in a
separate status banner from the streaming brief. The existing zero-width
heartbeat is replaced by an explicit `{"type":"heartbeat"}` line.
Drop the `agent.tool_use` write-tool special case — the agent now
streams the brief directly via `agent.message` text blocks.

PMC Funder Discovery Tool
A React + Vite frontend (Tailwind, Noto Serif) that collects public media station details and streams an Anthropic Managed Agent response back to the browser through a Netlify Functions v2 proxy.
Setup
npm install
Add your Anthropic credentials (in .env for local dev, in the Netlify UI
for production):
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
# Optional - if you've provisioned a Managed Agent in the Anthropic console:
ANTHROPIC_AGENT_ID=agent_...
# Optional - override the model:
ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-5
Run locally
npm run dev # netlify dev (proxies Vite + functions on :8888)
Open http://localhost:8888.
How streaming works
- The browser POSTs the form to
/.netlify/functions/agent-proxy. - The Netlify v2 function calls
anthropic.messages.stream(...)and wraps the upstream iterator in aReadableStream. Eachcontent_block_deltatext chunk is enqueued as plain UTF‑8 bytes. - The React app reads
response.body.getReader()and decodes chunks withTextDecoder, appending them to the result state. - A
Thinkingflag staystrueuntil the first chunk arrives, then flips to a streaming state with a pulsing cursor.
