Show generation, interruption, and completion states

An original interface should distinguish generating from complete, preserve a cancellation path, and handle interrupted streams. Only enable actions that require the full answer when the response has actually finished and passed necessary checks.

Partial text is not a finished answer

A partial response can look convincing while missing a final qualification. Do not treat the first visible sentence as the completed result, and avoid leaving truncated content labeled as successful.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Measure first-token and total latency separately.
