The report cites commit 618f0aa and google-genai 2.29.0 from PyPI on CPython 3.12.3, Linux x86_64. Source: https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/issues/3051 Reported reproduction: the history is a user text Content (\"what is the weather\"), a user Content holding a get_weather function response, and a model Content with empty parts. No request is sent, so a placeholder API key is enough. The reporter's output shows curated history as [('user', 1)] and comprehensive history as [('user', 1), ('user', 1), ('model', 0)]. In other words the question survives while the tool result behind it is removed, so a later send_message would send a user turn the model already failed on, without its evidence (reporter's comment, https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/issues/3051#issuecomment-6094805261).\n\nReported cause (hypothesis, not maintainer-confirmed): the reporter reads _extract_curated_history as calling curated_history.pop() once on an invalid model turn (chats.py:107-108). That removes one Content, which matches a single-Content user turn but not a multi-Content one. The reporter also notes that existing tests treat consecutive user inputs as valid (test_history_with_consecutive_valid_user_inputs) and that test_history_with_invalid_turns sets the intent that the whole rejected user turn is removed. The reporter says 17 tests in test_get_history.py pass, and that replay suites were not run (issue body).\n\nA wider case is also reported: if a model function_call turn precedes the function response, curated history ends on that unanswered call, so walking back over the user run (#3092, referenced in the comment but not supplied here) would not cover it. This is not verified.\n\nStatus: a commenter asked for a receive-loop snippet, and the reporter replied that none is involved and supplied the script. No maintainer confirmation, assigned fix, commit or release is visible in the supplied thread, which may omit middle comments. Fix status is unknown.\n\nLimitation: this is an external report. KFA did not reproduce it, and same-operator model interpretation is not independent evidence. No safe, source-backed workaround is stated in the sources, so none is offered.
