Motivation

SMG's gRPC routers run a local StopSequenceDecoder over decoded text (needed because SGLang workers with skip_tokenizer_init=True cannot match string stops themselves). When a string stop sequence matches router-side, the public SSE stream ends — but the backend never saw the string and keeps generating. The old code unconditionally called grpc_stream.mark_completed(), so the stream's Drop silently drained all post-stop generation instead of aborting it, wasting backend compute.

What this changes

  • Track router-matched string stops: router_string_stop = should_stop && stop_decoder.matched_stop().is_some(), with has_router_stop / router_terminated state.
  • Chat and completion processors are n>1-aware: terminal_indices is checked against expected_choices, and the stream loop breaks early once every choice is terminal.
  • The trailing mark_completed() is guarded by if !router_terminated, so Drop sends its exact-ID Abort RPC only for router-terminated streams.
  • The chat/messages tool-parser blocks no longer end in continue; a tool_parser_active flag gates regular content emission so the post-emission termination check stays reachable.
  • Token-level stops deliberately do not trigger router termination — the backend terminates itself there.

Builds on upstream's existing matched_stop() and stop pinning; adds two matched_stop() assertions in crates/tokenizer/src/stop.rs.

Validation

cargo check/clippy/test (release) on smg + llm-tokenizer: streaming lib tests 14/0, tokenizer lib tests 173/0, including the two updated stop tests. (Strict clippy trips on a pre-existing upstream lint at monitor.rs:825 under clippy 1.97; untouched by this PR.)

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved stop-sequence handling across chat, messages, and completion streaming.
    • Responses now terminate promptly when configured string stops are detected.
    • Multiple requested choices now finish cleanly as each reaches a stop condition.
    • Stop metadata and usage details are preserved in terminal responses.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented unnecessary stream draining after a response has ended.
    • Improved usage reporting for Messages responses, including cache counters and clean end-of-stream handling.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for partial matches, control tokens, immediate emission, and matched stop reporting.

Walkthrough

The tokenizer now tracks viable partial stop suffixes and emits nonmatching text immediately. Chat, Messages, and Completions streaming paths track terminal choices, preserve terminal usage, propagate decode errors, and abort backend streams after router-matched string stops.

Changes

Streaming stop handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Partial stop tracking and matched-stop tests
crates/tokenizer/src/stop.rs
The decoder replaces fixed byte-window handling with suffix-based partial matching. Tests cover divergent matches, immediate emission, control tokens, and matched-stop reporting.
Chat stream termination
model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs
The chat path tracks terminal choices, preserves terminal usage, stops after all expected choices reach router string stops, and leaves router-terminated streams unmarked for abort on drop.
Messages stream termination and usage
model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs
The Messages path captures terminal prompt usage, handles empty and non-empty router string-stop chunks, and leaves router-terminated streams unmarked for abort on drop.
Completions stream termination and usage
model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs
The Completions path distinguishes string stops from token stops, tracks terminal choices, preserves terminal usage, and stops after all expected choices finish.
Stop decode error propagation
model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs
process_chunk_tokens propagates stop-decoder decode errors. A test verifies that the errors are not treated as held text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fb339

Mixed multi-choice requests can be finalized incorrectly when one choice hits a router string stop and another hits a token-level stop, potentially leaving the token-level choice without its completion event. The terminal-state handling should be corrected before merge, along with a regression test for this combination.

Note for reviewers: this PR and #2224 (DSML terminal flush) both touch model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs in the chat stream processor. The changes are logically independent (abort-on-router-stop vs. terminal flush) and combine cleanly; whichever lands second may need a small rebase. Happy to re-stack in whichever order you prefer.

Filed the stop-decoder error hardening as #2228 — it implements the error propagation discussed in the review thread above: process_chunk_tokens now returns Result and decode errors fail the stream at all three call sites instead of being swallowed as Held. Heads-up: it touches lines adjacent to this PR in the same streaming functions, so a trivial rebase conflict is possible depending on merge order.

Rebased onto current main (4715c68); conflicts resolved. Upstream's pending-tuple refactor of the chat/messages stream loops required re-applying the abort logic onto the new emission structure; nothing in the theme was absorbed by upstream.

A router-matched string stop breaks the stream before the backend
Complete arrives, so the Messages and Completions paths lost their
authoritative-usage signal: the terminal usage emit reported no input
tokens and the reservation settled on the reserved estimate. The chat
path already avoided this by recording the terminal chunk's prompt
count into the same map its settle gate counts.

- Messages: set saw_complete when the router string stop captures
  prompt_tokens from the terminal chunk, so the terminal emit reports
  real input_tokens and settle_success is called.
- Completions: insert the router-stopped index into completed_indices
  so the unit reports saw_complete and avoids close_reserved_only.

Rebased onto current main (e546fd0), absorbing #2228's error-propagation form; also fixed the CodeRabbit finding: router-terminated Messages/Completions streams now keep authoritative usage from the terminal chunk (saw_complete / completed_indices) instead of settling on the reserved estimate (fb33956).

🔴 Important Do not mark token-level stops as router-terminal.

If one choice matches a router string stop and another choice hits stop_token_ids, Line 3067 adds both indices to terminal_indices. Line 3121 then aborts before the token-level choice receives Complete. That choice never enters completed_indices, so Line 3277 sets saw_complete to false and the request settles with close_reserved_only.

Insert into terminal_indices only when matched_sequence is true. Keep token-level stopped choices pending until their backend Complete arrives. Add a multi-choice regression test with one string stop and one token-level stop.

Proposed fix
-                        terminal_indices.insert(index);
                         has_router_stop |= matched_sequence;
                         if matched_sequence {
+                            terminal_indices.insert(index);
                             // No Complete will be read for a router-stopped
                             // choice; count it as completed so this unit still
                             // reports the terminal chunk's usage as
