Research direction

Start by tracing the FastAPI HTTP and WebSocket handlers that call DeepSeek. Add tests covering malformed model JSON and an upstream client failure, then verify HTTP requests return a controlled API error while WebSocket clients receive a controlled message.

  • Return a controlled API error for HTTP requests and a controlled message for WebSockets.
  • Add tests for malformed model output and an upstream failure.
