retry invalid tool-call diff / malformed tool input instead of aborting #15906
Description
What happened?
During tool execution, the session can abort instead of retrying on transient provider/tool-call parsing failures.
I hit two real error shapes:
Invalid diff: now finding less tool calls!Invalid input for tool write: JSON parsing failed: Text: ...
When these occur, opencode currently exits the turn instead of recovering.
Steps to reproduce
- Run a tool-heavy edit turn where streamed tool-call deltas are produced.
- Hit a provider response that emits an invalid intermediate tool-call diff.
- Observe abort with
Tool execution abortedandInvalid diff: now finding less tool calls!. - In other runs, observe abort on malformed tool input with
JSON parsing failed: Text:.
Expected behavior
- Treat transient invalid tool-call diff errors as retryable.
- Attempt to repair malformed tool input JSON before giving up.
Additional context
I have a tested fix prepared that:
- marks invalid tool-call diff errors as retryable
- repairs malformed JSON tool input (including
Text:payloads) and retries the tool call

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
JSON parsing failederror message you mentionIf these don't fully cover your case (especially the
Invalid diff: now finding less tool calls!shape), this may still be worth keeping open as a distinct issue.KingingWang commentedon Mar 30, 2026
I also encountered this issue. I think this situation should be retried a few times before terminating when it cannot be recovered.
