📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds GPT-Live 1 support across model preferences, voice selection, iOS WebRTC transport, delegated tools, session lifecycle handling, prompts, usage accounting, and cost display. It also adds Live-specific tests, planning documents, Expo response typing, and Bun command guidance.

Changes

GPT-Live voice support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model and voice preferences
lib/realtimeModelPreference.ts, lib/voiceOptions.ts, lib/voicePreference.ts, app/index.tsx, components/settings/*, docs/plans/*
GPT-Live 1 is added to model preferences. Live and Realtime models use separate voice catalogs, defaults, storage, validation, and settings. Preference hydration loads both voice families before enabling related controls.
Native Live transport and routing
modules/vm-webrtc/ios/*, modules/vm-webrtc/src/VmWebrtc.types.ts, modules/vm-webrtc/src/VmWebrtcModule.ts, modules/vm-webrtc/src/toolkit_functions/web.ts
A Live WebRTC client exchanges SDP with the Live endpoint, waits for session.started, processes transcripts and usage, delegates tool calls, supports graceful closure, and emits session events. The module selects Live or Realtime transport and applies Live-specific options.
Session prompts, lifecycle, and cost UI
app/VoiceChat.tsx, components/VoiceSessionCost.tsx, components/VoiceSessionStatus.tsx, lib/livePrompt.ts
VoiceChat builds Live prompts and connection options, gates startup on loaded preferences, handles closure and connection fallback, tracks Live cost data, and renders status and cost details.
Usage accounting and validation
lib/tokenUsageTracker.ts, lib/__tests__/tokenUsageTracker.test.ts, lib/__tests__/voicePreferences.test.ts
TokenUsageTracker calculates Live voice-duration and backend-token costs without applying fallback pricing to unknown models. Tests cover Live pricing, cache handling, long-context pricing, model switching, preference persistence, and invalid voice recovery.

Repository conventions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bun command convention
AGENTS.md
The repository guidance now specifies bun install, bun run <script>, and bunx <tool> instead of npm, npx, or yarn.

Not safe to merge until raw Live event logging is redacted or replaced with an allowlist of non-sensitive diagnostics.

Findings

  1. P1 Security Sensitive Live payload logging ▶

Summary

This PR adds the iOS GPT-Live voice-session path and associated voice, prompt, fallback, and cost-accounting behavior. It should not merge until Live logging stops exposing raw conversation and session payloads. The reconnect cost-display issue is non-blocking, but should be addressed to keep displayed usage accurate.

P1 security Sensitive Live payload logging

The Live event handler logs each complete event dictionary without redaction. Those events can contain transcript text, prompts, session details, and WebRTC SDP; the logging path prints every attribute to the device console and exports attributes to Logfire when tracing is enabled. This exposes private conversation content and session data to local and external telemetry logs.

How this was verified: A source-to-sink check confirmed the raw event dictionary is forwarded unchanged to both console and Logfire logging.

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Artifacts

Evidence from the check

  • The authored executable source-to-sink validator inspects the exact Live-event call and console/Logfire plumbing; it demonstrates the checks used to confirm the exposure.

Command output from the check

  • The executed validator ran against the parent revision and reports that the target Live client source did not yet exist, establishing the before side of the comparison.

Command output from the check

  • The executed validator ran against HEAD, passed every raw-payload-to-console-and-Logfire assertion, and confirms the security exposure.

Comments Outside Diff

These findings sit on lines the diff does not cover, so they could not be posted inline. Each one leaves this list once its file changes.

  • P1 Raw Live event payloads are emitted to console and Logfire ▶

    • Bug
      • handleLiveEvent logs the entire untyped Live event dictionary at modules/vm-webrtc/ios/OpenAILiveWebRTCClient.swift:188. Live data-channel messages are parsed as arbitrary JSON dictionaries and include transcript delta values (event["delta"]); the same raw structure can carry prompt/session and SDP-related fields. The metadata is neither allowlisted nor redacted before logging.
    • Cause
      • The sink passes metadata: event directly to logAttributes. logAttributes preserves all entries; NativeLogger stringifies all attribute values to print and passes the full dictionary to Logfire; LogfireTracingManager converts supplied attributes, attaches them, and emits the record. The configured minimum level is .debug, so this debug event is enabled.
    • Fix
      • Replace the raw event metadata with a strict allowlist of non-sensitive diagnostics (for example event type and safe identifiers/lengths), or omit metadata entirely. Do not include transcript, instructions/content, SDP, tokens, session secrets, or arbitrary nested event fields; apply recursive redaction before any console or telemetry sink.
  • P2 Isolate usage by session app/VoiceChat.tsx:153 ▶

    onTokenUsage adds every usage payload to one shared tracker, while starting a replacement session resets that tracker. The previous Live client can still emit final cumulative usage while it finishes closing, and its payload has no session identifier, so that old usage is charged to the new session. This produces incorrect duration, token, and cost estimates after reconnecting. This is a non-blocking concern, but it causes users to see inaccurate session costs.

  • P2 Late old-session usage is charged to a reconnected session ▶

    • Bug
      • VoiceChat retains one token-usage listener and shared TokenUsageTracker ref. Starting a new session resets that tracker, but a final usage event from the old Live client has no session identity and is subsequently accumulated as if it belonged to the new session. The executed sequence yielded new-only $0.0104 versus $0.0264 after a late old event.
    • Cause
      • app/VoiceChat.tsx:123-153 unconditionally applies every onTokenUsage payload to the shared tracker, while app/VoiceChat.tsx:409-415 resets that same tracker for a new session. TokenUsageEventPayload has no session identifier. The Live native client emits final usage for session.closed while graceful closure completes.
    • Fix
      • Associate usage events with a monotonically increasing JS session generation or native session identifier, capture the active generation when starting, and discard events that do not match it. Ideally include a connection/session ID in TokenUsageEventPayload and emit it from native clients.

OpenAI Responses API usage input_tokens_details cache_write_tokens GPT-5.6 Terra pricing cache write tokens

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the OpenAI API, cache_write_tokens is a field within the usage.input_tokens_details object that reports the number of input tokens newly written to the cache [1][2]. For the GPT-5.6 model family (which includes models such as Terra and Sol), prompt caching involves specific billing mechanisms [1][3]: 1. Billing for Cache Writes: On GPT-5.6 models and later, cache writes are explicitly billed at 1.25× the standard uncached input token rate [1][4]. This is distinct from cache reads (reported in cached_tokens), which are typically billed at a discounted rate (e.g., 10% of the standard input rate) [1][5]. 2. Usage Reporting: The usage metadata distinguishes between tokens read from the cache (cached_tokens) and tokens newly written to the cache (cache_write_tokens) [1][2]. Developers can use these fields to monitor cache hit rates and optimize breakpoint placement [1]. Note that recent updates to the OpenAI Python SDK (version 2.45.0) introduced cache_write_tokens as a required field in the InputTokensDetails schema, which may require updates to integrations that previously only expected cached_tokens [6]. 3. GPT-5.6 Terra Pricing: As of September 18, 2026, the GPT-5.6 Terra model follows a standard pricing structure (for contexts up to 272,000 tokens) of $2.00 per million input tokens and $12.00 per million output tokens [7][8][9]. Its cached input rate is $0.20 per million tokens (a 90% discount), and the cache write rate is $2.50 per million tokens (1.25× the $2.00 input rate) [3][8][9][5]. Total input cost is generally calculated as the sum of ordinary (uncached/non-written) tokens, cached read tokens (at the cached input rate), and cache write tokens (at the cache write rate) [2][10].

A prompt prefix must meet the model’s minimum cacheable token length before it can be cached. Tokens in the OpenAI-provided hidden system content do not count toward this minimum. The minimum cacheable prompt length is 1,024 tokens for GPT-5.6 and later and varies by request settings for earlier models. See the model comparison for details. ... For GPT-5.6 and later, cache writes cost 1.25× the standard, uncached input-token rate. It is worth incurring this charge when you know a prefix will be reused, because subsequent reads cost only 0.1× that rate. Writing a prefix once and fully reusing it once costs 1.35× its ordinary input cost, compared with 2× for processing it twice without caching. The savings grow with each additional cache read: across ten requests, one write and nine full reads cost 2.15×, compared with 10× without caching. ... #### Request 1 · Responses API request ... ``` import OpenAI from "openai"; ... const response = await client.responses.create({ "model": "gpt-5.6", "reasoning": { "effort": "medium", "context": "all_turns" }, "text": { "verbosity": "medium" }, "input": [ { "role": "developer", "content": [ { "type": "input_text", "text": "8,000 tokens" } ] }, { "role": "user", "content": [ { "type": "input_text", "text": "2,000 tokens" } ] } ], "tools": [ "Tool definitions, 2,000 tokens" ], "prompt_cache_key": "shared-workflow-v1", "prompt_cache_options": { "mode": "implicit", "ttl": "30m" } }); ``` ... #### Request 2 · Responses API request ... const response = await client.responses.create({ "model": "gpt-5.6", "reasoning": { "effort": "medium", "context": "all_turns" }, "text": { "verbosity": "medium" }, "input": [ { "role": "developer", "content": [ { "type": "input_text", "text": "8,000 tokens" } ] }, { "role": "user", "content": [ { "type": "input_text", "text": "2,000 tokens" } ] }, { "role": "user", "content": [ { "type": "input_text", "text": "3,000 tokens" } ] } ], "tools": [ "Tool definitions, 2,000 tokens" ], "prompt_cache_key": "shared-workflow-v1", "prompt_cache_options": { "mode": "implicit", "ttl": "30m" } }); ... #### Request 1 · Response usage ... ``` { "usage": { "input_tokens": 12000, "input_tokens_details": { "cached_tokens": 0, "cache_write_tokens": 12000 } } } ``` ... #### Request 2 · Response usage ... ``` { "usage": { "input_tokens": 15000, "input_tokens_details": { "cached_tokens": 12000, "cache_write_tokens": 3000 } } } ``` ... | Behavior | GPT-5.6 and later | GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro | Other earlier models | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Implicit breakpoints | At the end of the latest eligible message. | Spaced at regular 2,048-token intervals. | Spaced at regular, model-dependent intervals. | | Explicit breakpoints | Supported | Not supported | Not supported | | `prompt_cache_key` | Optional for separate cache accounting | Use a stable key to optimize cache routing | Use a stable key to optimize cache rou…[truncated] <title>Pricing | OpenAI API</title> https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing | | Short context | | | | Long context | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Model | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | | gpt-6-astra | $10.00 | $1.00 | $12.50 | $50.00 | $20.00 | $2.00 | $25.00 | $75.00 | | gpt-5.6-sol | $4.00 | $0.40 | $5.00 | $20.00 | $8.00 | $0.80 | $10.00 | $30.00 | | gpt-5.6-terra | $2.00 | $0.20 | $2.50 | $12.00 | $4.00 | $0.40 | $5.00 | $18.00 | | gpt-5.6-luna | $0.20 | $0.02 | $0.25 | $1.20 | $0.40 | $0.04 | $0.50 | $1.80 | ... | | Short context | | | | Long context | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Model | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | | gpt-6-astra | $5.00 | $0.50 | $6.25 | $25.00 | $10.00 | $1.00 | $12.50 | $37.50 | | gpt-5.6-sol | $2.00 | $0.20 | $2.50 | $10.00 | $4.00 | $0.40 | $5.00 | $15.00 | | gpt-5.6-terra | $1.00 | $0.10 | $1.25 | $6.00 | $2.00 | $0.20 | $2.50 | $9.00 | | gpt-5.6-luna | $0.10 | $0.01 | $0.125 | $0.60 | $0.20 | $0.02 | $0.25 | $0.90 | ... | | Short context | | | | Long context | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Model | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | | gpt-6-astra | $5.00 | $0.50 | $6.25 | $25.00 | $10.00 | $1.00 | $12.50 | $37.50 | | gpt-5.6-sol | $2.00 | $0.20 | $2.50 | $10.00 | $4.00 | $0.40 | $5.00 | $15.00 | | gpt-5.6-terra | $1.00 | $0.10 | $1.25 | $6.00 | $2.00 | $0.20 | $2.50 | $9.00 | | gpt-5.6-luna | $0.10 | $0.01 | $0.125 | $0.60 | $0.20 | $0.02 | $0.25 | $0.90 | ... | | Short context | | | | Long context | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Model | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | | gpt-6-astra | $20.00 | $2.00 | $25.00 | $100.00 | $40.00 | $4.00 | $50.00 | $150.00 | | gpt-5.6-sol | $8.00 | $0.80 | $10.00 | $40.00 | $16.00 | $1.60 | $20.00 | $60.00 | | gpt-5.6-terra | $4.00 | $0.40 | $5.00 | $24.00 | $8.00 | $0.80 | $10.00 | $36.00 | | gpt-5.6-luna | $0.40 | $0.04 | $0.50 | $2.40 | $0.80 | $0.08 | $1.00 | $3.60 | ... | | Short context | | | | Long context | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Model | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | Input | Cached input | Cache writes | Output | | gpt-5.6-sol | $4.00 | $0.40 | $5.00 | $20.00 | $8.00 | $0.80 | $10.00 | $30.00 | | gpt-5.6-cyber | $12.50 | $1.25 | $15.625 | $75.00 | - | - | - | - | ... `, `o ...

Stronger reasoning than Gemini 3.6 Flash at a higher list price, and the 90% cache discount keeps long-context loops surprisingly cheap. GPT-5.6 Terra is the workhorse tier of OpenAI&`#39`;s 5.6 lineup, sitting between GPT-5.6 Sol (flagship) and GPT-5.6 Luna (ultra-cheap) for high-volume production workloads. By TechCompare · Updated August 2026 Input tokens 100,000 per request Output tokens 5,000 per request Volume 100 / monthly Standard API ## Cost Comparison Based on 100,000 input tokens (50% cached), 5,000 output tokens, and 100 requests. Open full calculator to adjust tokens, caching, or add other models ## How this is calculated GPT-5.6 Terra is priced at $2.00 per million input tokens and $12.00 per million output tokens at OpenAI&`#39`;s published list price, with a 90% prompt caching discount ($0.20 per million). That puts it 2.5x below GPT-5.6 Sol on input and 10x above GPT-5.6 Luna on input. OpenAI&`#39`;s standard 50% batch discount applies via the Batch API ($1.00 per million inputs, $6.00 per million outputs). Note: OpenRouter currently runs a limited-time 50% discount that can show Terra at $1/$6 in live calculators. ## Verdict GPT-5.6 Terra lands at $2/M input and $12/M output, with a 90% cache discount dropping input to $0.20/M and the 50% batch discount (via OpenAI&`#39`;s Batch API) cutting both to $1/M input and $6/M output. The 2.5x edge over GPT-5.6 Luna on input and the 10x gap above Luna make Terra the natural default for general production traffic where frontier-tier reasoning actually matters. The cache discount is what carries the long-context case: an agentic loop with a stable 100K system prompt budgeted at the cached input rate is small enough that you keep Terra on for the loop instead of cascading down to a cheaper model.

Terra ($2/$12 list price) is 10x more expensive than Luna ($0.20/$1.20 list price) per token but produces meaningfully stronger reasoning. Pick Terra when quality matters and reserve Luna for high-volume classification, extraction, or simple completions. OpenRouter sometimes shows Terra at a temporary $1/$6 discounted rate in live calculators. How much does GPT-5.6 Terra cost per million output tokens? GPT-5.6 Terra charges $12.00 per million output tokens at standard pricing. With the 50% batch discount, that drops to $6.00 per million. The 90% prompt caching discount brings cached input to $0.20 per million, making Terra the right default for everyday OpenAI-stack workhorse production workloads. Why pick GPT-5.6 Terra over GPT-5.6 Sol? Cost and most production workloads. Terra at $2/$12 is 2.5x cheaper than Sol&`#39`;s $5/$30 across the board. Sol&`#39`;s premium only earns its keep on hardest-tier reasoning: deep math, multi-step planning, complex code synthesis. For chat, RAG, content generation, and classification, Terra is the right default. Note OpenRouter sometimes offers temporary Terra discounts.

Account for delegated cache-write tokens.

OpenAILiveWebRTCClient forwards cached_tokens but drops input_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens. VoiceChat passes the resulting liveBackend payload to TokenUsageTracker, which charges those tokens as ordinary input. This undercounts Terra usage when the backend writes prompt-cache tokens.

Add cacheWriteTokens to liveBackend, forward the provider field, exclude it from ordinary input, and price it separately at Terra’s 1.25× cache-write rate. Add a nonzero cache-write test.

Swift MainActor.run return non-Sendable global actor isolated class Sendable Swift 6 diagnostic

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In Swift 6, MainActor.run is defined as static func run<T>(... body: @MainActor @Sendable throws -> T) async rethrows -> T [1][2]. The requirement that the body closure be @Sendable is the core reason you encounter diagnostics when returning or returning/capturing non-Sendable types [1][3]. Because @Sendable closures must be safe to execute concurrently on any executor, they cannot capture or return values that are not Sendable [4][3]. When you attempt to return a non-Sendable type from a MainActor-isolated class or context via MainActor.run, the Swift 6 compiler flags this because the value would have to "cross" the isolation boundary into a Sendable context [4][5]. Even if the value is MainActor-isolated, the act of returning it through a @Sendable closure implies it is being transferred to a potentially non-isolated or differently-isolated caller [4][5]. To resolve this diagnostic, consider the following strategies: 1. Make the Type Sendable: If possible, conform the non-Sendable type to Sendable. If the type is a class, this often requires making it final and ensuring all properties are immutable (let) or internally synchronized [6][3]. 2. Move Logic to @MainActor Methods: Instead of using MainActor.run to pull data out of a MainActor-isolated context, restructure your code so that the processing logic itself resides within an @MainActor-isolated function or method [6][3][7]. This keeps the non-Sendable data on the MainActor, avoiding the need to transfer it across boundaries [5]. 3. Use Task { @MainActor in... }: If you need to perform work on the MainActor but do not need to return a value to a non-isolated caller, use an unstructured Task with a @MainActor closure [5]. Note that this still does not allow you to easily "return" the non-Sendable value to the original caller; it only allows you to perform side effects on the MainActor [3][5]. 4. Consider Unchecked Sendable: In cases where you are certain that data race safety is maintained through other means (e.g., ensuring the non-Sendable object is never accessed concurrently), you may use @unchecked Sendable, though this should be a last resort and requires manual verification of thread safety [6]. If you find that your code is being rejected despite the values never actually being accessed concurrently, it may be due to conservative compiler checking; however, restructuring toward actor-isolated methods is the idiomatic Swift 6 approach to avoid these boundaries [6][7].

One of these features is the `MainActor` annotation that we can apply to classes, functions, and properties. In this post you’ll learn several techniques that you can use to dispatch your code to the main thread from within Swift Concurrency’s tasks or by applying the main actor annotation. If you’d like to take a deep dive into learning how you can figure out whether your code runs on the main actor I highly recommend reading this post which explores Swift Concurrency’s isolation features. Alternatively, if you’re interested in a deep dive into Swift Concurrency and actors I highly recommend that you check out my book on Swift Concurrency or that you check out my video course on Swift Concurrency. Both of these resources will give you deeper insights and background information on actors. ## Dispatching to the main thread through the MainActor annotation The quickest way to get a function to run on the main thread in Swift Concurrency is to apply the `@MainActor` annotation to it: ```swift class HomePageViewModel: ObservableObject { `@Published` var homePageData: HomePageData? `@MainActor` func loadHomePage() async throws { self.homePageData = try await networking.fetchHomePage() } } ``` The code above will run your `loadHomePage` function on the main thread. The cool thing about this is that the `await` in this function isn’t blocking the main thread. Instead, it allows our function to be suspended so that the main thread can do some other work while we wait for `fetchHomePage()` to come back with some data. The effect that applying `@MainActor` to this function has is that the assignment of `self.homePageData` happens on the main thread which is good because it’s an `@Published` property so we should always assign to it from the main thread to avoid main thread related warnings from SwiftUI at runtime. If you don’t like the idea of having all of `loadHomePage` run on the main actor, you can also annotate the `homePageData` property instead: ```swift class HomePageViewModel: ObservableObject { `@MainActor` `@Published` var homePageData: HomePageData? func loadHomePage() async throws { self.homePageData = try await networking.fetchHomePage() } } ``` Unfortunately, this code leads to the following compiler error: > Main actor-isolated property &`#39`;homePageData&`#39`; can not be mutated from a non-isolated context This tells us that we’re trying to mutate a property, `homePageData` on the main actor while our `loadHomePage` method is not running on the main actor which is data safety problem in Swift Concurrency; we must mutate the `homePageData` property from a context that’s isolated to the main actor. We can solve this issue in one of three ways: 1. Apply an `@MainActor` annotation to both `homePageData` and `loadHomePage` 2. Apply `@MainActor` to the entire `HomePageViewModel` to isolate both the `homePageData` property and the `loadHomePage` function to the main actor 3. Use `MainActor.run` or an unstructured task that’s isolated to the main actor inside of `loadHomePage`. The quickest fix is to annotate our entire class with `@MainActor` to run everything that our view model does on the main actor: ```swift `@MainActor` class HomePageViewModel: ObservableObject { `@Published` var homePageData: HomePageData? func loadHomePage() async throws { self.homePageData = try await networking.fetchHomePage() } } ``` This is perfectly fine and will make sure that all of your view model work is performed on the main actor. This is actually really close to how your view model would work if you didn’t use Swift Concurrency since you normally call all view model methods and properties from within your view anyway. Let’s see how we can leverage option three from the list above next. ## Dispatching to the main thread with Ma…[truncated] <title>Non-Sendable values in async conformances and overrides (NonSendableInAsyncConformanceOrOverride) | Documentation</title> https://docs.swift.org/latest/documentation/diagnostics/non-sendable-values-in-async-conformances-and-overrides/ Non-Sendable values in async conformances and overrides (NonSendableInAsyncConformanceOrOverride) | Documentation ## Overview An `async` method that satisfies a protocol requirement (or overrides a superclass method) may be isolated to a different actor than the requirement it fulfills. This is allowed because calling an `async` method suspends the caller, letting the implementation resume in its specified isolation. (The same applies to `get async` accessors.) When the two isolations differ, the method’s parameters and results have to cross between them. That crossing is only safe for `Sendable` values, so the compiler rejects it for non-Sendable ones. For example: ``` class Plant { var height = 0 } protocol PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async } `@MainActor` class GardenJournal: PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async { // error: non-Sendable parameter type &`#39`;Plant&`#39`; cannot be sent from caller of protocol requirement &`#39`;record(plant:)&`#39`; into main actor-isolated implementation print("Recorded plant at \(plant.height) cm tall") } } ``` Here, the Garden Journal implementation is isolated to the main actor, while the Plant requirement is not. A caller in a different isolation that invokes `record(plant:)` would pass a non-Sendable `Plant` into the main-actor-isolated implementation. Since that value can’t safely cross, the compiler diagnoses the implementation under complete concurrency checking. This is an error in the Swift 6 language mode. There are a few possible ways to address this issue. ## Use an isolated conformance If you only need the conformance to be used from within a specific global actor isolation, you can write an isolated conformance. This means the protocol methods can only be called from that isolation, so non-Sendable values won’t need to cross between isolations. This may be especially natural when the type already has a global actor isolation. ``` class Plant { var height = 0 } protocol PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async } `@MainActor` class GardenJournal: `@MainActor` PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async { // OK, any caller of `record` is already on MainActor. print("Recorded plant at \(plant.height) cm tall") } } ``` The upcoming feature Infer Isolated Conformances will automatically infer an isolated conformance like the one above for a global-actor-isolated type, without needing to write `@Main` on the conformance itself. ## Make all parameters and results `Sendable` If all the parameters and result types of the function are `Sendable`, it’s safe to send them between any isolations. Often, using a value type like a `struct` or an `enum` is the simplest choice, because they are implicitly `Sendable`. Having a different isolation in the implementation is no longer a problem: ``` struct Plant { var height = 0 } protocol PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async } `@MainActor` class GardenJournal: PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async { // OK, sending `Plant` from another isolation is safe. print("Recorded plant at \(plant.height) cm tall") } } ``` Reference types can be made `Sendable` by an explicit `Sendable` conformance, a global actor annotation like `@Main` , or with `@unchecked Sendable` when the type has been made thread safe by a different synchronization mechanism like a lock or a queue. ## Match the isolation of both the protocol and the implementation Of course, making all parameters and results `Sendable` may not always be possible. Since the problem arises when the protocol or superclass method and its implementation have different isolations, another solution is to annotate either the protocol or the implementation to use the same isolation: ``` class Plant { var height = 0 } `@MainActor` protocol PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async } `@MainActor` class GardenJournal: PlantJournal { func record(plant: Plant) async { // OK print("Recorded plant at \(plant.height) cm tall") } } ``` Th…[truncated] <title>Difference Between `@MainActor` func and Task { `@MainActor` in } in Swift 6</title> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79488075/difference-between-mainactor-func-and-task-mainactor-in-in-swift-6 # Difference Between `@MainActor` func and Task { `@MainActor` in } in Swift 6 Tags: swift, concurrency, task, actor, swift6 - Score: 0 - Views: 263 - Answers: 2 - Answered: yes - Asked by: naljin (645 rep) - Asked: 2025-03-06 - Site: stackoverflow ## Question I have a class MyUIClass that is `@MainActor` isolated: `@MainActor` class MyUIClass { func show(object: Any?) {} } To use the show function, it needs to be accessed within the MainActor context: class Santa { `@MainActor` func present1(gift: Any?) { MyUIClass().show(object: gift) // ✅ } func present2(gift: Any?) { Task { `@MainActor` in MyUIClass().show(object: gift) // 💥 Task or actor isolated value cannot be sent; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode." } } } What I don’t understand is that when I try to use gift inside the Task block in present2, I get the warning Task or actor isolated value cannot be sent; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode. In the first function, present1, the argument gift: Any? is not isolated to MainActor (right?) and is not Sendable, but there is no error. However, the error only occurs in the second case, inside the Task block. I know the title is a bit odd. I understand that `@MainActor` functions can only be executed in the MainActor context, and Task { `@MainActor` in } can be executed in any context. Still, in these two cases (present1 / present2), it seems that MyUIClass().show(object: gift) is executed in the MainActor context, so why is there a difference in the error behavior? ## Answers ### Answer by drseg (score: 2 [ACCEPTED]) The `@MainActor` annotation should indeed be read positionally - it affects what comes after it, which, in your first function, is the entirety of the function including its parameters, and in your second, is only what happens between the { } of the Task. Therefore, in the first example, gift is already MainActor isolated and nothing needs to cross an actor boundary. In the second example however, gift is not MainActor isolated, and as it is also not Sendable, it cannot cross the boundary, resulting in a compilation error. Just for further illustration, this would compile just fine: func present2(gift: Any?) { Task { `@MainActor` in MyUIClass().show(object: "gift") // ✅ no attempt to capture non Sendable value } } So would this... func present2(gift: String) { Task { `@MainActor` in MyUIClass().show(object: gift) // ✅ capturing Sendable value } } ... because String is Sendable. ### Answer by p gokul (score: 0) The selected answer explains exactly what is happening here. I just wanted to add more context to that answer. The main problem you were facing was the sendability of the gift parameter. If you were using a sendable type in both your present1 and present2 functions, everything would have worked fine. The reason the first function was working without any issues is that the gift parameter is MainActor-isolated. However, if you call this function from a different actor-isolated context, you will get an error at the call site, stating that you cannot pass a non-sendable item to a MainActor-isolated function. class NonSendable { } actor MyActor { let nonSendable = NonSendable() func sayHello() async { await Santa().present1(gift: nonSendable) // Error: Sending &`#39`;self&`#39`;-isolated value of type &`#39`;NonSendable&`#39`; // with later accesses to a MainActor-isolated context risks causing data races } } This suggests that the problem boils down to sendability. When you pass a non-sendable parameter to a different concurrent context, and the same reference also exists in both contexts, there is a possibility of a data race. To fix this, you need to use a sendable type: final class SendableType: Sendable { } actor MyActor { let sendableInstance = SendableType() func sayHello() async { await Santa().present1(gift: sendableInstance) } }

Keep the client on MainActor.

OpenAILiveWebRTCClient inherits from the non-isolated OpenAIWebRTCBase and is not Sendable. MainActor.run requires a Sendable result, so returning self.liveClient can produce a strict-concurrency diagnostic and is an error in Swift 6 mode. Keep the client access and close operation inside one @MainActor method.

🔧 Proposed fix
         AsyncFunction("closeOpenAIConnectionAsync") { () -> String in
-            if let client = await MainActor.run(body: { self.liveClient }) {
-                return await client.closeGracefully()
-            }
-            return await MainActor.run { self.webrtcClient.closeConnection() }
+            return await self.closeVoiceConnection()
         }
`@MainActor`
private func closeVoiceConnection() async -> String {
    if let liveClient {
        return await liveClient.closeGracefully()
    }
    return webrtcClient.closeConnection()
}
