Description
Streaming
action=alertdiscarded the response scan's deny result, so a Lakera error/timeout withfail_open=falseleaked the streamed response instead of failing closed — contradicting theactioncontract that "Lakera API errors/timeouts stay governed byfail_openeven in alert mode".Alert mode now buffers the stream when
fail_open=falseso a Lakera error/timeout fails closed, while a flagged verdict is still released and only logged (shadow-mode semantics unchanged). Withfail_open=true, alert keeps streaming live since nothing can block. Non-streaming andblockpaths are unchanged.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #13619
