AI Summary

Enhances server and UI stability for SSE streams by adding silent ping mechanisms. It introduces a configurable ping interval to prevent disconnects during slow prefill operations.

Key Highlights

  • New sse_ping_interval parameter defaults to 30s (WebUI uses 1s)
  • Kicks connections only after 3s of silence
  • Prevents dropping healthy connections during slow prefill
  • Server and UI updated to support per-request ping settings

New Features

  • Enhanced SSE stream handling with configurable heartbeats

server + ui: ping silent SSE streams every 1s and kick only after 3s so slow prefill never drops healthy connections (#25241)

* server + ui: ping silent SSE streams every 1s and kick only after 3s so slow prefill never drops healthy connections

* server + ui: sse_ping_interval becomes a per-request body field

Address review from ngxson: the global default returns to 30 so API
clients see no behavior change, and the WebUI sends sse_ping_interval: 1
in the request body since it owns the 3s visibility-kick contract and
declares the cadence it needs. Positive values keep the existing > 0
gate, -1 keeps its disabled semantics.

* server: move sse_ping_interval into the request schema

Address review from ngxson: the field is now a typed field_num with
hard limits (-1, INT32_MAX) bound to task_params, seeded from the CLI
default alongside the other inherited parameters. The raw json_value
read and its redundant comment are gone, and schema evaluation brings
type and range validation for free.
