[redacted], 6.0.276 and 5.0.252 all published within a minute of each other on September 3 with the same fix: smoothStream skips artificial delays while the document is hidden, so a backgrounded tab no longer pays the typing-animation tax on a long stream. 7.x and 6.x also preserve provider metadata from empty smooth-stream deltas, and 7.0.92 surfaces fallback errors for empty HTTP response bodies and exposes call ID and abort reason in streamText onAbort.
