claude-streaming-spacing-fix

To fix mid-word spacing in Claude streaming, you enforce correct turn-boundary spacing by inserting spaces only between API turns and leaving intra-turn tokens unaltered. This prevents artifacts like "re deems" in agentic loops.

Unwanted spaces in Claude streaming outputs occur because tokens are concatenated across API turns without proper turn-boundary spacing management. Applying a per-turn spacing flag in the streaming loop resets at each turn boundary to resolve this.

Turn-boundary spacing is a deterministic rule that inserts spaces only between API turns in Claude streaming responses. It preserves original intra-turn tokens without alteration, satisfying per-turn state management for multi-turn interactions.

No, this streaming spacing fix does not alter intra-turn tokens. It applies spacing rules exclusively at API turn boundaries to ensure deterministic behavior while preserving the original token content within each turn.

To implement turn-boundary spacing in a Claude agentic loop, integrate a per-turn spacing flag in your streaming logic and reset it at the start of each API turn to ensure spaces are inserted only at turn boundaries.
