📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe HTTP router now serializes typed request bodies through a dedicated module. It preserves raw JSON when possible, applies worker preparation when required, strips configured SGLang defaults, and maps serialization and preparation failures separately. ChangesRequest-body serialization
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new direct serialization path can silently skip model-alias rewriting when request-body processing fails, potentially sending requests to the wrong worker and causing request failures or incorrect routing. Merge requires a fix or explicit owner acceptance of this bounded correctness risk. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Clean performance optimization — skips the serde_json::Value tree for the common non-mutating path using borrowed RawValue slices. Key correctness concerns are well-addressed: f32 widening, swap-remove ordering parity, and a cross-check test pinning the raw predicate against the Value strip. The mutates_request trait method is doc-guarded; no existing implementations override prepare_request, so the pairing is consistent today.

98-107: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value🟡 Nit: Derive the raw literal from the parsed value.
The test passes handwritten literals to
is_stripped_sglang_default. Production callers passRawValue::get(), which holds the compactserde_jsonrendering. The two agree for these cases, but the test does not prove that link. Serialize the parsedValueback to a string and assert on that string. This keeps the test aligned with the production input form.♻️ Proposed test refactor

- Around line 45-48: Update the RawBody deserialization branch in the
request-body transformation flow to distinguish non-object JSON from object
deserialization failures by checking the first byte of the payload: return
unchanged bytes only when the body is not an object, while propagating
deserialization errors for object-shaped bodies so canonical model rewriting and
SGLang field stripping are not silently skipped.

…mutation The HTTP proxy path re-encoded every typed request through serde_json::Value so three hooks could edit the body: the canonical model rewrite, worker.prepare_request, and strip_default_sglang_fields. For /generate bodies carrying tens of thousands of input_ids that tree costs ~32 bytes per token — the largest per-request transient on the hot path — while the edits only ever touch scalar top-level fields. Serialize the typed request straight to bytes and apply the rewrite and the strip to the top-level object parsed as borrowed RawValue slices, so token payloads stay opaque byte spans. Workers whose prepare_request rewrites the body (DP-aware ranks, signalled by the new Worker::mutates_request) keep the Value pipeline, as does any body the raw editor cannot parse, so no input silently skips the hooks. Wire bytes are unchanged: a custom Formatter reproduces to_value's f32->f64 widening, and the raw strip replicates the swap-remove ordering of serde_json::Map::remove under preserve_order. Byte-equality tests pin the new path against the previous pipeline for plain, aliased, DP-aware, stripped, untouched, chat, and non-object bodies.

Description
Problem
The HTTP router's proxy path re-encodes every typed request through
serde_json::Value(serde_json::to_value(typed_req)insend_typed_request) solely so three body-mutation hooks can run: the canonical-model rewrite,worker.prepare_request(identity except for DP-aware workers), andstrip_default_sglang_fields. For/generatebodies carrying 10k–100kinput_ids, that Value tree costs ~32 bytes per token (Vec<Value>of numbers) ≈ 1.6 MB per 50k-token request — roughly 8x the raw ids and the single largest per-request transient allocation on the hot path — while the hooks only ever touch scalar top-level fields.Solution
Serialize the typed request straight to bytes and apply the model rewrite and the strip to the top-level object parsed as borrowed
&RawValueslices:input_idsand message content stay opaque byte spans and are never materialized per element. DP-aware workers — the only case whereprepare_requestmutates, signalled by the new defaultedWorker::mutates_request— keep the existing Value pipeline unchanged.Wire bytes are identical, including two non-obvious behaviors of the old path that the new one reproduces:
serde_json::to_valuewidensf32tof64, so e.g.temperature: 0.7has always been emitted as0.699999988079071. A customFormatterkeeps that widening on the direct path (the plain writer would emit0.7and change the bytes).preserve_order,serde_json::Map::removeis a swap-remove, so stripping a defaulted field moves the last key into its slot. The raw strip replicates the same swap-remove ordering.Why not the simpler "fast path only when no mutation is needed": the typed structs re-emit serde-defaulted SGLang fields on every serialization (
GenerateRequest.return_hidden_states: false,ChatCompletionRequest.separate_reasoning: true, ...), so the strip fires on essentially every request on the endpoints that matter and a no-mutation fast path would never be taken. Editing borrowed raw slices covers the alias rewrite and the strip without the tree, and falls back to the Value pipeline for the DP-awareprepare_requesthook (which is defined onValue) and for any body the raw editor cannot parse (in practice: non-objects) — no input can silently skip the hooks.The PD router keeps its Value pipeline: there the Value is load-bearing (bootstrap injection plus divergent prefill/decode clones), so the helper is not free to share.
