Description

Problem

The HTTP PD router implements /generate, /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions, and /v1/rerank, but /v1/messages (Anthropic Messages API) and /v1/responses (Responses API) fall through to the RouterTrait 501 default. The regular HTTP router already proxies both endpoints, so switching a deployment to PD mode silently loses two APIs. PD e2e coverage had the same gap: chat completions and gRPC-mode Responses only.

Solution

Implement route_messages and route_responses on PDRouter following the exact shape of route_chat: derive the routing surface (cache-aware request text via extract_text_for_routing, rid key, stream flag from the request), build a PDRequestContext for the endpoint, and enter execute_dual_dispatch. No dispatch-layer changes were needed — PD bootstrap injection operates on serialized JSON (inject_bootstrap_into_value), context.route is used directly as the worker path, and route_to_endpoint already has metrics labels for both endpoints. Neither API has a batch parameter (batch_size: None) or PD logprob merging (return_logprob: false).

E2e: a new test_pd_messages.py drives the Anthropic SDK against the gateway over both PD wires — pd_http (SGLang dual dispatch, the path this PR adds) and pd_grpc (the mode-parameterized Messages pipeline, SGLang + vLLM) — and test_pd_responses.py gains a pd_http class for create and streaming. The HTTP Responses class deliberately skips storage semantics (retrieval, chaining): in proxy mode those belong to the engine, not the gateway.

Changes

  • model_gateway/src/routers/http/pd_router.rs: add route_messages and route_responses to the RouterTrait impl; import the two request types; add a route-level test proving both endpoints reach PD worker selection (503 on an empty fleet) instead of returning 501
  • e2e_test/router/test_pd_messages.py: new — Messages API non-streaming + streaming over pd_http (SGLang) and pd_grpc (SGLang, vLLM)
  • e2e_test/router/test_pd_responses.py: add TestPDResponsesHttp (pd_http, SGLang) covering create + streaming

Test Plan

  • New unit test messages_and_responses_endpoints_dispatch_through_pd: both endpoints on an empty-fleet PD router return 503 Service Unavailable (PD selection reached) rather than 501 Not Implemented
  • cargo test -p smg --lib: 1797 passed, 0 failed; cargo test -p smg --test routing_tests: 120 passed
  • cargo clippy -p smg --all-targets -- -D warnings clean, cargo +nightly fmt clean
  • E2e: all 14 tests in the two touched files collect cleanly (pytest --collect-only); ruff check and ruff format --check clean. GPU execution rides the existing PD lanes: the pd_grpc Messages class runs on the vLLM PD lane; pd_http classes run on SGLang PD runs

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added PD service routing for /v1/messages and /v1/responses.
    • Preserved streaming, model selection, context, and request metadata across both endpoints.
    • Added support for HTTP and gRPC PD configurations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Requests now return a clear service-unavailable response when no processing workers are available.
    • Optional streaming settings are now serialized correctly.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for streaming and non-streaming message and response requests, including completed responses and streamed text validation.

Walkthrough

PDRouter now dispatches /v1/messages and /v1/responses through PD workers. The change adds request-text extraction, RID metadata, request context propagation, endpoint-path validation, unavailable-worker tests, serialization handling, and HTTP/gRPC streaming and non-streaming coverage.

Changes

PD endpoint routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Route messages and responses
model_gateway/src/routers/http/pd_router.rs
Adds routing for CreateMessageRequest and ResponsesRequest through shared PD dispatch. The routes pass request text, RID metadata, endpoint paths, and model/context data.
Validate endpoint dispatch
model_gateway/src/routers/http/pd_router.rs
Records forwarded paths and JSON bodies, verifies bootstrap fields for both endpoints, and checks SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE when no workers are configured.
Validate end-to-end API flows
e2e_test/router/test_pd_messages.py, e2e_test/router/test_pd_responses.py
Adds HTTP and gRPC Messages API tests for completed and streamed responses. Adds SGLang HTTP Responses API tests and validates streamed text and completion status.
Serialize optional stream fields
crates/protocols/src/responses.rs
Omits ResponsesRequest.stream during serialization when the value is unset. Missing values still use the deserialization default.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d8985

The PR adds PD routing for the Messages and Responses APIs, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Clean implementation. Both route_messages and route_responses correctly follow the established PD routing pattern — appropriate batch_size: None, return_logprob: false, correct route strings, and proper use of extract_text_for_routing() / rid() for policy-aware routing. No issues found.

…patch

The PD router implemented generate, chat, completions and rerank but let
/v1/messages and /v1/responses fall through to the RouterTrait 501
default, so PD-mode deployments lost both APIs the regular HTTP router
already proxies. Both request types carry the GenerationRequest routing
surface and PD bootstrap injection is endpoint-agnostic JSON, so each
endpoint now builds its routing derivatives (cache-aware text, rid key,
stream flag) and enters execute_dual_dispatch like chat does.

PD e2e coverage stopped at chat completions and the gRPC-mode Responses
suite. Add Messages API classes for both PD wires (HTTP dual dispatch on
SGLang, the mode-parameterized gRPC pipeline on both engines) driven by
the Anthropic SDK against the gateway, and an HTTP-mode Responses class
covering create and streaming. The HTTP Responses class skips storage
semantics deliberately: in proxy mode retrieval and chaining belong to
the engine, not the gateway.

Comment thread e2e_test/router/test_pd_responses.py
Review follow-ups: the empty-fleet unit test stopped at worker selection,
so a wrong route string could pass unnoticed. Add recording loopback
stubs registered as prefill and decode workers and assert both legs of
each dispatch hit the exact /v1/messages and /v1/responses paths with
bootstrap fields injected. The e2e streaming assertions also only
counted event types; both Responses streaming tests now assert the
concatenated delta text is non-empty and the terminal status is
completed.

ResponsesRequest.stream was the only Option field in the struct without
skip_serializing_if, so an unset flag proxied to a worker as
"stream": null. Engines that validate the field as a strict boolean
reject the request; the PD HTTP lane caught SGLang doing exactly that
during Responses conversion. Omit the field when unset like every
sibling.

The sglang PD lane showed the engine does not carry PD bootstrap fields
through /v1/messages or /v1/responses to the scheduler: the decode leg
rejects with "Disaggregated request received without bootstrap room id".
Skip both pd_http classes with that reason so they stay as executable
documentation, ready to unskip when the engine forwards the fields. The
pd_grpc Messages and Responses classes remain live coverage.

The sglang PD lane ran the new pd_http classes against a real engine and surfaced two findings:

  1. Engine gap: SGLang does not carry PD bootstrap fields through /v1/messages or /v1/responses to its scheduler — the decode leg rejects with Disaggregated request received without bootstrap room id. Both pd_http classes are now @pytest.mark.skip with that reason as executable documentation, ready to unskip when the engine forwards the fields (44ddb987..d8985dcc). The pd_grpc Messages/Responses classes stay as live coverage and passed on both vLLM PD lanes.
  2. Real protocol bug caught: ResponsesRequest.stream was the only Option field in the struct without skip_serializing_if, so an unset flag proxied as "stream": null — SGLang rejects that as a strict boolean during Responses conversion. This affects the regular HTTP proxy path too, not just PD. Fixed in 44ddb987.
