fix(grpc): abort backend streams on router string stops

[lucifer1004]

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.)

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Improved stop-sequence handling across chat, messages, and completion streaming.
  • Responses now terminate promptly when a configured string stop is detected.
  • Backend processing is stopped once all requested response choices reach a stop condition.

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented unnecessary stream draining after a response has already ended.
  • Improved handling of content and tool-related output around stop sequences.

• Tests

  • Added coverage confirming token-level stops and matched string stops are reported correctly.

Walkthrough

The tokenizer tests now verify matched-stop state. Chat, Messages, and Completions streaming processors stop on router-matched strings and abort the backend stream instead of draining it. Tool-parser content gating is also refactored.

Changes

Streaming stop handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Matched-stop contract and chat termination crates/tokenizer/src/stop.rs, model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs	Tokenizer tests distinguish token stops from hidden string stops. The chat path tracks terminal choices, stops after all expected choices terminate, and leaves router-terminated streams unmarked for abort on drop.
Messages stream termination and tool parsing model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs	The Messages path handles empty and non-empty router string-stop chunks, gates regular text on tool-parser state, and uses std::mem::take for specific-function text.
Completions stream termination model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/regular/streaming.rs	The Completions path distinguishes matched string stops from token stops, tracks terminal choices, and aborts the backend stream after router termination.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6470

A stop-decoder failure can allow generation to continue past a configured stop instead of aborting the backend stream, causing incorrect streaming behavior and unnecessary backend work. This bounded correctness issue needs owner follow-up before merge.

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.
