SOLUTION

Implemented in ~/openai-compat/ — a minimal OpenAI-compatible FastAPI server. The root cause of CH-GAP-030: the request model never declared stream, so pydantic's default extras handling silently discarded stream: true and the handler answered a streaming request with a non-streaming 200.

1. Declare the field on the request model (openai_compat/models.py) — plus extra="forbid" so nothing top-level is ever silently dropped again:

class ChatCompletionRequest(BaseModel):
    model: str
    messages: list[ChatMessage] = Field(min_length=1)
    temperature: float | None = Field(default=None, ge=0.0, le=2.0)
    # ...
    # CH-GAP-030 fix: declared, so it can never be swallowed by pydantic extras.
    # strict=True keeps OpenAI type semantics: only true/false/null are valid.
    stream: bool | None = Field(default=None, strict=True)

    model_config = ConfigDict(extra="forbid")

2. Reject the unsupported value explicitly (openai_compat/main.py) — the handler raises a domain exception mapped to an OpenAI-style 400, never a silent 200:

@app.post("/v1/chat/completions")
async def chat_completions(body: ChatCompletionRequest) -> ChatCompletionResponse:
    if body.stream:  # CH-GAP-030: reject loudly instead of silently un-streaming
        raise OpenAICompatError(
            "Streaming is not supported by this server. Omit `stream` or set "
            "`stream` to false to receive a non-streaming completion.",
            code="stream_not_supported",
            param="stream",
        )
    # ... non-streaming 200 path (stream=False / omitted / null)

3. One OpenAI error envelope for the whole API (openai_compat/errors.py) — custom exception handler plus a RequestValidationError handler that converts FastAPI/pydantic 422s into the same OpenAI-style 400 shape:

{"error": {"message": "...", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": "stream", "code": "stream_not_supported"}}

4. Documented in OPENAI_API.md (request schema, the before/after stream behavior, the stream_not_supported example, unknown-param rejection, and an error-format table).

EVIDENCE

Automated tests — tests/test_chat_completions.py, 13/13 pass (pytest -q, Python 3.12, FastAPI TestClient):

test_stream_true_is_rejected_with_openai_style_400 — asserts HTTP 400, code=stream_not_supported, param=stream, type=invalid_request_error, application/json
test_stream_true_is_never_a_silent_200 — regression guard (no choices key, status ≠ 200)
test_stream_false_happy_path_returns_completion / test_stream_omitted_happy_path / test_stream_null_happy_path — 200 with full chat.completion shape (id, choices[0].message.role=assistant, usage arithmetic consistent)
Edge cases: stream:"yes" → 400 type error (param=stream, code=null); unknown bogus_param → 400 "Unrecognized request argument supplied: bogus_param"; empty messages → 400 param=messages; missing model → 400; invalid role → 400; malformed JSON → 400 not 500; error body parses as OpenAIErrorResponse

Live server verification (uvicorn on :8321, curl end-to-end):

Request	Result
`"stream": true`	HTTP 400 `{"error":{...,"param":"stream","code":"stream_not_supported"}}`
`"stream": false`	HTTP 200 `chat.completion`
`stream` omitted	HTTP 200 `chat.completion`
`"stream": "yes"`	HTTP 400 `{"error":{...,"param":"stream","code":null}}` (strict type, no silent coercion)
`"bogus_param": 1`	HTTP 400 `Unrecognized request argument supplied: bogus_param`

Model introspection confirms the fix mechanics: stream ∈ model_fields with annotation bool | None and model_config.extra = "forbid" — an undeclared field can no longer exist to be dropped.
