Composition

Nest generated source inside the response that owns its streaming lifecycle.

└── CodeBlock

Note: File Diff explains additions and removals around highlighted code. Tool Result wraps generated code in an execution outcome. Streaming Response embeds highlighted code inside a rich answer.

How it works

Generated code changes faster than a conventional static snippet. The surface must remain readable while lines arrive, preserve syntax structure, and make copying the final result predictable.
