When hit max_output_tokens, some events are not emitted and logged #2546

Description

@njdldkl666699

When the AI's output is truncated because it exceeds max_output_tokens and a subsequent request is made, both the current response and the next "continue" request are lost.

This happens in BYOK usage. I use the custom provider and it provides 65536 max_output_tokens. So it easily triggered this bug.

See this events.jsonl below (input and output is ommited for privacy):
