📄 Description

Problem

Merge Responses (MOA) using Google/Anthropic API models fails with browser error ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED on the /api/v1/tasks/moa/completions endpoint. The request returns 200 OK but the browser cannot decode the body.

Root Cause

When proxying streaming responses from Anthropic/Google APIs through aiohttp, the session auto-decompresses the response body (default auto_decompress=True), but the upstream content-encoding: gzip header is forwarded unchanged. The browser receives a decoded plaintext body with a header claiming it is gzip-encoded, causing the decoding failure.

Fix

Strip hop-by-hop and transport headers (transfer-encoding, connection, content-encoding, content-length) from the forwarded StreamingResponse headers in generate_chat_completion. This mirrors the existing pattern already used in terminals.py.

Fixes #23855
