Line-oriented upstream executors can emit `event:` and `data:` as
separate chunks, but the Responses handler had started terminating
each incoming chunk as a full SSE event. That split `response.created`
into an empty event plus a later data block, which broke downstream
clients like OpenClaw.
This keeps the fix in the handler layer: a small stateful framer now
buffers standalone `event:` lines until the matching `data:` arrives,
preserves already-framed events, and ignores delimiter-only leftovers.
The regression suite now covers split event/data framing, full-event
passthrough, terminal errors, and the bootstrap path that forwards
line-oriented openai-response streams from non-Codex executors too.
Constraint: Keep the fix localized to Responses handler framing instead of patching every executor
Rejected: Revert to v6.9.7 chunk writing | would reintroduce data-only framing regressions
Rejected: Patch each line-oriented executor separately | duplicates fragile SSE assembly logic
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Do not assume incoming Responses stream chunks are already complete SSE events; preserve handler-layer reassembly for split `event:`/`data:` inputs

Tested: Temporary patched server on 127.0.0.1:18317 -> /v1/models 200, /v1/responses non-stream 200, /v1/responses stream emitted combined `event:` + `data:` frames
Not-tested: Full repository test suite outside sdk/api/handlers packages
When /v1/responses streaming fails after headers are sent, we now emit a type=error chunk instead of an HTTP-style {error:{...}} payload, preventing AI SDK chunk validation errors.
- Introduced `StartNonStreamingKeepAlive` to emit periodic blank lines during non-streaming responses.
- Added `nonstream-keepalive` configuration option in `SDKConfig`.
- Updated handlers to utilize `StartNonStreamingKeepAlive` and ensure proper cleanup.
- Extended config diff and tests to include `nonstream-keepalive` changes.
Improved consistency across OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini handlers by replacing initial `select` statement with a `for` loop for better readability and error-handling robustness.
- Replaced `config.Config` with `config.SDKConfig` across components for simpler configuration management.
- Updated proxy setup functions and handlers to align with `SDKConfig` improvements.
- Reorganized handler imports to match new SDK structure.
