…d of swallowing it Streaming tool parsing could swallow an entire completion: any text the incremental parser buffered as a prospective tool call that never became a valid declared tool call was silently dropped, producing a stream with no tool_call deltas and no content deltas, while the non-streaming path correctly returned the same text as content. Observed deterministically on PR #2261's e2e runs (all four engines): Llama-3.2-1B with --tool-call-parser llama, tools present, tool_choice=auto, streaming emitted a {-prefixed JSON answer that LlamaParser::has_tool_markers() routed into handle_json_tool_streaming(), where it buffered forever. Two-level fix: - handle_json_tool_streaming() now bails out to normal_text when the buffered JSON is definitively not a tool call: a complete JSON value with no name field, or a (by construction complete) name that is not among the declared tools. Previously the former buffered forever and the latter cleared the buffer silently, losing the text. - New ToolParser::take_unstreamed_normal_text() (default: empty) drains text still buffered at end of stream - truncated tool JSON, partial start markers - so routers can emit it as content. Implemented via a shared helper for the five parsers that use the shared JSON streaming helper (llama, json, mistral, qwen, cohere); parsers that announced a tool call from the buffer return nothing (the remaining arguments are recovered via get_unstreamed_tool_args, matching the non-streaming path which drops trailing text once tool calls were extracted). Wired into both stream-finish sites: Chat Completions (shared by single and PD mode, gRPC and ZMQ transports) and Messages API. Also: QwenParser::reset() now clears normal_text_buffer, and the end-of-stream flush drains it (a partial </tool_call> suffix held there is real text when no tool call was ever announced). Legit buffering is preserved: partial bot_token suffixes and incomplete-but-potentially-valid tool JSON keep buffering mid-stream; new regression tests cover chunk boundaries inside JSON, undeclared names, truncated JSON at end of stream, and the announced-tool guard.

Clean, well-structured fix. Reviewed all nine changed files: the new take_unstreamed_normal_text trait method, its five parser implementations, the two mid-stream bailout paths in handle_json_tool_streaming, both router flush sites (Chat Completions and Messages API), and all 16 regression tests. No issues found — the logic is sound and the mutual exclusivity between text flush and tool-args flush is maintained.
A declared tool call trailing a non-tool JSON value in the same (possibly final) chunk is now re-parsed into tool-call deltas instead of stranding for the end-of-stream text flush. The threaded parser state moves into JsonToolStreamState, dropping both too_many_arguments suppressions and making call sites transposition-safe. Drain runs only on the cold bail-out paths with one bounded buffer copy; recursion is bounded by the number of adjacent values in a chunk. Also fixes the codespell typo and marks intentional mid-word chunk-boundary test data. Signed-off-by: yifeng liu <31553858+pallasathena92@users.noreply.github.com>

🔴 Important Emit arguments for a declared call found during adjacent-value draining.
When Line 193 re-enters handle_json_tool_streaming with a complete declared call, the handler emits the tool name and skips the argument branch because it is an else if. It leaves the JSON in state.buffer and does not populate prev_tool_call_arr.
At end of stream, take_unstreamed_normal_text() drops that buffer because a tool is active. get_unstreamed_tool_args() then has no saved arguments. The current regression test verifies only the tool name.
Process the arguments in the same invocation, or continue parsing until the complete call is consumed. Extend test_json_adjacent_non_tool_then_declared_call_in_final_chunk to assert that the "city" argument is emitted.

Description
Problem
Streaming tool parsing can swallow an entire completion. When the incremental parser buffers text as a prospective tool call and that tool call never materializes, nothing ever flushes the buffer: the client receives a stream with no tool_call deltas AND no content deltas, while the non-streaming path correctly falls back to returning the same text as content.
PR #2261's strict e2e contract checks exposed this, deterministically, on all four engines (sglang, vllm, trtllm, tokenspeed — gRPC and ZMQ lanes alike):
TestToolChoiceLlama::test_tool_choice_auto_streaming(Llama-3.2-1B,--tool-call-parser llama, tools declared,tool_choice=auto) failed with(run 32505832427, job
e2e-1gpu-chat (sglang); the non-streaming siblingtest_tool_choice_auto_non_streamingpassed on the content-fallback branch). The worker-log artifacts do not record raw generations, so the exact model text is not recoverable from CI; the failure class is fully pinned though:LlamaParser::has_tool_markers()treats anytext.trim_start().starts_with('{')as a tool start, so a{-prefixed answer is routed intohelpers::handle_json_tool_streaming().namefield (e.g. Llama-3.2-1B's habit of putting the function under a different key:{"type": "function", "function": "get_weather", "parameters": {...}}) matched no handling branch at all → buffered forever, never emitted.namehit the invalid-name branch, which silently cleared the buffer → text destroyed.Solution
Two levels, mirroring the non-streaming fallback ("if no tool calls were parsed, the text is content"):
handle_json_tool_streaming()— when the buffered JSON is definitively not a declared tool call, stop buffering and return it asnormal_text:name→ emit the consumed text, keep the tail for further parsing;namepresent (by construction complete: partial strings are disallowed until the name is sent) but not among the declared tools → emit the buffered text instead of silently dropping it.ToolParser::take_unstreamed_normal_text()(default: empty string) drains text still buffered when the stream finishes (truncated tool JSON, partial start markers like<|py). Implemented via a shared helper for all five parsers that use the shared JSON streaming helper, and wired into both router stream-finish sites next to the existingget_unstreamed_tool_args()flush:process_streaming_chunks_inner— shared by single and PD mode, gRPC and ZMQ transports),process_messages_streaming_chunks— also reached from PD mode).Legit buffering is preserved: partial
bot_tokensuffixes and incomplete-but-potentially-valid tool JSON keep buffering mid-stream, and once a tool call has been announced from the buffer the flush returns nothing (the buffered tail is tool syntax; remaining arguments are still recovered viaget_unstreamed_tool_args(), and non-streaming likewise drops trailing text once tool calls were extracted).Parsers sharing the hole (all fixed uniformly):
llamaandjson(bare-{/[heuristic — full empty-stream failure mode),mistral,qwen,cohere(marker-gated, so plain text was safe, but a started-and-never-completed tool call, an undeclared name, or a truncated stream lost content the same way). Parsers with custom streaming (deepseek, kimik2, glm, pythonic, …) don't use this helper and keep their existing behavior via the trait default.Not covered here (pre-existing, separate): the Go OAI server consumes
parse_incrementalover FFI and has no stream-finish hook at all (not even for unstreamed tool args), so it doesn't get the flush yet.Changes

Failing-first: the new regression suite was written and run against the unfixed code; the five content-swallowing tests failed exactly as the e2e did (empty accumulated text), the legit-tool-call guards passed:
The suite covers: the representative Llama repro streamed in 2–3 char chunks (boundaries inside the JSON), undeclared tool names split across chunk boundaries, truncated JSON at end of stream, partial
<|python_tag|>at end of stream, unterminated Cohere action blocks, flush-is-empty after a completed or announced tool call (no content duplication), drained-after-flush, and reset() clearing the buffers.After the fix:
The e2e contract that exposed the bug (
test_tool_choice_auto_streaming's "non-empty streamed text when no tool call was made") is expected to pass once PR #2261's lanes run against this fix.Checklist
