Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds an opt-in constraint that suppresses native tool-call syntax when tool_choice is none, while leaving default behavior unchanged. Merge readiness is still affected by two open configuration issues: some builder-created routing configurations may ignore configured policy boundaries, and router-prefixed boolean defaults may prevent intended backend fallback, potentially causing incorrect routing behavior.

🟡 Nit: The Python bindings at bindings/python/src/lib.rs build RouterConfig via this builder but don't set tool_choice_none_ban — so Python-binding users have no way to enable the feature. The default (false) is safe, but REVIEW.md flags config changes as the #1 bug source precisely because of these cross-surface gaps. Consider adding the field to the Python RouterArgs dataclass and the PyO3 struct to keep the surfaces in sync, even if it's a follow-up.

Done — the flag is now exposed end to end in the Python bindings: RouterArgs.tool_choice_none_ban + --tool-choice-none-ban (argparse), and the PyO3 Router constructor passes it through .tool_choice_none_ban(...) in the config conversion. All additions appended at list tails per the positional-compat rule.

Clean, well-gated implementation. The ban-string curation (especially the K3 decision to exclude section closers that normal generation must emit) is thoughtful, the opt-in flag keeps this safe for engines without any_text/excludes support, and the test coverage is thorough. One nit about Python binding parity filed inline.

With tools present but tool_choice "none", nothing constrains the model away from emitting its native tool-call syntax: the prompt still advertises the tools, and because parsing is disabled for "none", any tool call the model starts lands verbatim in the text content. Add an opt-in decode-time suppression constraint. Parsers with model-native tool-call framing now carry a curated inventory of strings that exclusively open that syntax, and the factory can build a structural tag from it: free-form output whose excludes list makes those openers unreachable, so the model cannot begin a tool call at all. The inventory is deliberately NOT the structural-tag trigger list — K3's triggers include think/response section closers that ordinary generation must emit. Gated behind a new RouterConfig bool (--tool-choice-none-ban, default off) carried on the ParserResolver, because the any_text/excludes format requires current grammar-backend support in the engine. When enabled, the chat and messages preparation stages attach the ban for the none case; required/auto/function constraint generation and the none-case parse gate are unchanged.

Description
Problem
When a request carries tools but sets
tool_choice: "none", SMG honors the choice only on the response side: parsing is disabled, so any tool call the model emits is left as literal text incontent. Nothing on the request side stops the model from starting tool-call syntax — the prompt still advertises the full tool list, andgenerate_tool_constraintreturns no constraint for thenonecase. Models regularly emit tool-call markup anyway, and the client receives it as garbled prose.Solution
An opt-in decode-time suppression constraint. Each parser with model-native tool-call framing (mistral, kimik2, kimi_k3, inkling) now carries a curated inventory of strings that exclusively open its tool-call syntax, and the factory can build a ban tag from it:
{"format": {"type": "any_text", "excludes": ["<|tool_calls_section_begin|>", "<|tool_call_begin|>"]}}Free-form output whose
excludeslist makes the openers unreachable — the model cannot begin a tool call at all. The inventory is deliberately not the structural-tag trigger list: kimi_k3's triggers include<|close|>think<|sep|>/<|close|>response<|sep|>, which ordinary generation must emit; banning those would corrupt normal output. Only strings that never appear outside tool calls qualify.Gating: a new
RouterConfigbool (--tool-choice-none-ban, default off), because theany_text/excludesstructural-tag format requires current grammar-backend support in the engine. When enabled, the chat and messages preparation stages attach the ban whenever tools are present,tool_choiceis exactly"none", and the resolved parser has an inventory. Everything else is unchanged: required/auto/function constraint generation, the none-case parse gate, andskip_special_tokensderivation.Changes
