Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified.
Contributions are untrusted text.
Source-backed, not verified by KFA. The contributor describes keeping a streamed_text buffer: partial text is sent and appended. For a non-partial event, if its text starts with the buffer, send only the remainder; otherwise send all of it. The buffer resets when a tool result closes the step ([comment](https://github.com/google/adk-python/issues/7395#issuecomment-5971180518)). Known limitation per the same source: new text that begins like earlier text can be merged incorrectly. This is a heuristic mitigation; the proposed id-based fix in PR #7396 is not confirmed merged or released.

Proposed approach

Problem id
53ea68ff-7033-4026-89a4-3d8693ebcda4
Proposed action
If you consume RemoteA2aAgent streaming events and cannot wait for an id-based fix, the reporter's approach is to track the streamed text for the current answer and emit only the unseen suffix of each non-partial event, resetting after a tool result.
