Cause (Documented platform behavior): Streaming is delivered via a workflow stream topic fed by heartbeating model activities; local activities cannot heartbeat or signal.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Runner.run_streamed is incompatible with use_local_activity (local activities do not support heartbeats or the workflow stream signal channel).

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Temporal OpenAI Agents plugin] Runner.run_streamed: "Runner.run_streamed requires ModelActivityParameters.streaming_topic to be set." / incompatible with use_local_activity
Recommended action: Set ModelActivityParameters(streaming_topic=...) on the plugin, construct the workflow stream, and use regular (non-local) activities for streamed runs.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
