Conversation
Gemma 4 delimits chain-of-thought with channel markers - an opener followed by a 'thought' role label, closed by an end marker - rather than think tags, and some checkpoints emit the bare role label even with thinking disabled (format per the family's public reference parsing utilities). SMG had no gemma reasoning coverage at all, so reasoning stayed inline in content. Add a parser delegating marker handling to the base scanner with the two Gemma-specific behaviors on top: role-label stripping at the start of reasoning (streaming-safe via prefix hold-back that releases on divergence or early block close) and bare-label stripping when no markers are present. Markers are special tokens, so the parser requires special-token preservation. Auto-detection matches gemma-4/gemma4 ids only - earlier generations have no reasoning channel and must keep resolving to passthrough (pinned by test).

WalkthroughThe change adds ChangesGemma 4 parser support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Gemma 4 parser can currently produce incorrect output in streaming cases: a bare thought label may remain in normal content, and buffered reasoning may be lost when a response ends with a close marker. These are bounded but concrete correctness issues, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 101-105: The Gemma4 parser currently releases pending_reasoning
only when normal_text is non-empty, losing reasoning when the closing marker is
the final content. Update the close-marker handling in the parser to flush
pending_reasoning immediately when the reasoning state indicates the block has
closed, even without answer text, and adjust the early-close test to terminate
immediately after the channel-close marker.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
🟡 Nit: The Gemma block was inserted between the pre-existing Inkling comment (line 241) and its register_pattern("inkling", ...) call (line 247), orphaning the comment from the code it describes. Lines 241–243 now read as a single comment block, which is confusing at first glance.
Swapping the order keeps each comment adjacent to its pattern:
| // Inkling checkpoints use the model-family name in their ID or config. | |
| // Gemma 4 only — earlier Gemma generations have no reasoning channel, | |
| // so no bare "gemma" pattern. | |
| // Gemma 4 only — earlier Gemma generations have no reasoning channel, | |
| // so no bare "gemma" pattern. | |

Fixed in 264ee29 — the Gemma block now sits above the Inkling comment, keeping each comment adjacent to its pattern.
Address review: the held label-prefix was released only when normal text appeared in a later chunk, so a stream ending right after a short reasoning block (close marker in the final chunk, no trailing answer) lost the held text - no later incremental call exists to recover it. Release now keys on the parser leaving the reasoning block rather than on answer text arriving; the early-close test asserts the release happens in the same call that closes the block. Also restore the Inkling pattern comment adjacency in the factory. Signed-off-by: yifeng liu <31553858+pallasathena92@users.noreply.github.com>

Description
Reasoning extraction for the Gemma 4 family, which uses channel markers instead of think tags.
Problem
Gemma 4 emits chain-of-thought delimited by a channel opener +
thoughtrole label and a channel close marker (documented in the family's public reference parsing utilities, e.g. vLLM's Apache-2.0gemma4_utils, ported from transformers). SMG has no gemma reasoning pattern or parser, so Gemma 4 reasoning stays inline incontent— including a spurious barethoughtlabel some checkpoints emit even with thinking disabled.Solution
A
gemma4parser that delegates marker splitting to the shared base scanner and layers the two Gemma-specific behaviors on top: stripping the role label from the start of reasoning content (streaming-safe — held back only while it is still a possible label prefix, released on divergence or early block close), and stripping the spurious bare label in the no-markers case. The channel markers are special tokens, sorequires_special_tokensis true and detokenization preserves them. Auto-detection registersgemma-4/gemma4patterns only; earlier Gemma generations have no reasoning channel and keep resolving to passthrough (pinned by test).Changes
