Every message_update delta deep-cloned every tool-call block's arguments, so snapshot cost scaled with argument node count per delta: a 1,500-delta tool call with a growing structured payload spent ~547 ms in snapshots; sharing the reference (safe because every provider write replaces arguments wholesale and none mutates it) brings that to ~8 ms. Delta-path blocks are still copied so later provider field mutations never reach pushed snapshots; terminal messages keep the sanitizing own-enumerable deep clone.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe agent loop now uses reference-sharing delta snapshots for streaming updates and sanitized deep clones for terminal messages. Tests cover provider mutations and argument replacement. A benchmark measures snapshot performance for string and structured tool-call payloads. ChangesAssistant Snapshot Cloning
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Delta snapshots currently share a mutable tool-call arguments object, so later streaming updates can change arguments already exposed in earlier snapshots. This may cause consumers to observe historical events changing over time, so the PR is not merge-ready until snapshot ownership is corrected or the risk is explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

to capture the matching toolcall_end event and assert its
assistantMessageEvent.toolCall.arguments is a sanitized deep clone, distinct
from the provider arguments object. Preserve the existing message_end assertions
while covering the externally observable toolcall_end payload.

Use Bun.env for BENCH_SHAPE. Replace both process.env.BENCH_SHAPE references in this Bun benchmark with Bun.env.BENCH_SHAPE.

Do not share arguments in delta snapshots. owned-stream.ts mutates entry.block.arguments through setToolArg(...), while delta snapshots retain the same object reference. A later toolArgDelta can change earlier message_update snapshots. Clone arguments for each delta snapshot or replace the object before each update.

What
snapshotAssistantMessageno longer deep-clones every tool-call block'sargumentson each streaming delta. Delta-path snapshots (message_update) copy the block but share the currentargumentsobject by reference; terminal paths (done,error,message_end, atoolcall_end's authoritative tool call) keep the sanitizing own-enumerable deep clone.Why
Every
message_updatedelta re-cloned every accumulated tool-call block, so per-delta snapshot cost scaled with argument node count. A 1,500-delta tool call whose parsed arguments grow to ~375 structured items spent ~547 ms in snapshot cloning alone (median of 3, sandboxed); sharing the reference brings it to ~8 ms (~68x). String-shaped payloads were already cheap because JSON clones share string references, which is why this never showed on bash-style commands.Sharing is safe because every
argumentswrite acrosspackages/aireplaces the value wholesale —parseStreamingJson, throttle re-parses, object merges, literals — and none mutates an existing arguments object in place (verified by sweeping all.arguments =sites). Block objects are still copied per snapshot because providers do mutate block fields across deltas.context.messagesalready aliases the raw provider partial, so persistence semantics are unchanged.Testing
