Inline assistant response was interrupted ({reason:?})

Error message

Inline assistant response was interrupted ({reason:?})

What it means

Emitted when the inline assistant's completion stream stops with StopReason::MaxTokens or StopReason::Refusal before the edit completes. The response was terminated by the provider for length or policy reasons rather than finishing normally; the offending condition is the interruption stop reason on the model stream, not the tool input itself.

Solutions

1. Retry the assist, or reduce the selection size to fit the output limit
2. For refusal stops, rephrase the request to avoid policy-triggering content
3. Switch to a model with a larger context/output budget
