Description

I see an empty 'response' from the LLM when trying to use Continue in IntelliJ as either an agent or asking:

Using a proxy, I can see that the LLM does stream SSE responses such as:

data: {"candidates": [{"content": {"role": "model","parts": [{"text": "Hello! How can I help you with your code today?"}]},"finishReason": "STOP"}],"usageMetadata": {"promptTokenCount": 752,"candidatesTokenCount": 12,"totalTokenCount": 790,"trafficType": "ON_DEMAND","promptTokensDetails": [{"modality": "TEXT","tokenCount": 752}],"candidatesTokensDetails": [{"modality": "TEXT","tokenCount": 12}],"thoughtsTokenCount": 26},"modelVersion": "gemini-2.5-pro","createTime": "2025-08-07T10:47:08.530662Z","responseId": "LISUaOaxIOD_xN8PyLjngQ8"}

There's no new entry in the Continue log during that time.

To reproduce

No response
