Description

Problem

The MiniMax-M3 streaming parser waits for the complete tool-call wrapper before
emitting function arguments. A long invoke therefore delays the first argument
delta until generation finishes, and repeatedly searching the growing buffer
can make token-by-token input unnecessarily expensive.

Solution

Announce a function after its invoke header is complete, then incrementally
decode parameter elements with a persistent stack. Each complete top-level
parameter is serialized immediately as a JSON argument fragment. The parser
emits the final closing brace only after a real invoke-end marker.

Changes

  • Stream the first argument with the opening brace, subsequent arguments with a
    leading comma, and the closing brace at invoke completion.
  • Consume long scalar and nested element bodies as chunks arrive instead of
    rescanning them from the beginning.
  • Preserve nested objects, schema-declared arrays, multiple invokes, XML
    entities, duplicate top-level names, and undeclared function names.
  • Preserve the existing normal-text fallback for a complete malformed wrapper.
  • Abort an invoke without closing its JSON when a malformed parameter is found
    after earlier fragments have already been emitted.
  • Add character-by-character and varying-width Unicode chunk tests that compare
    reconstructed streaming arguments with complete parsing.

Compatibility / Risk

The complete parser is unchanged. Existing schema lookup remains limited to
direct properties, and false tool-start content remains buffered as before;
this PR intentionally does not include #2422 or #2423.

Streaming clients can now observe a function name and open argument object
before the invoke finishes. Truncated or malformed invokes may therefore have
partial deltas, but they never receive the final closing brace, so they cannot
be mistaken for a complete executable call. Duplicate top-level fields are
represented by a later member containing the aggregate value, matching complete
parsing when the assembled JSON is decoded.

#2422 and #2423 touch the same parser and test files, so merge order may cause
text conflicts. If either lands first, conflict resolution should retain its
schema/content behavior independently, reapply this incremental state machine,
and rerun the MiniMax-M3 streaming and complete-equivalence tests.

End-to-End A/B Validation

The change was also validated against a live MiniMax-M3 deployment. Both SMG
versions reused the same 2-prefill/1-decode engine; only the SMG pod was
restarted between runs.

  • Before: 0b0c848e707eaf85a1e556b1cf9b210689161c2c08959d479598fb87ae005dd9
  • After: 7a5a4eb7e06f5ca227889963d5f6222a33f1bd4e297229da3787ea202cd57a66
  • 80 streaming requests per version, 20 per scenario, concurrency 16
  • Scenarios: short/long tool arguments, each with thinking disabled/adaptive
  • All 160 requests completed successfully

Every request started with a role-only SSE delta. “Meaningful TTFT” below
ignores that delta and starts at the first non-empty content, reasoning, or
tool-call fragment. Values are arithmetic means in milliseconds.

Scenario After TTFT: role / meaningful Before TTFT: role / meaningful After TPOT: role / meaningful Before TPOT: role / meaningful
Long arguments, adaptive thinking 289 / 458 276 / 446 12.15 / 11.97 10.69 / 10.56
Long arguments, thinking disabled 297 / 383 320 / 7,561 15.77 / 15.58 15.83 / 0.03
Short arguments, adaptive thinking 323 / 531 394 / 625 11.87 / 10.96 12.33 / 11.27
Short arguments, thinking disabled 488 / 583 612 / 2,552 11.85 / 11.26 11.79 / 0.14

The thinking-disabled cases provide the cleanest tool-streaming comparison:
all requests produced a tool call. Before this change, meaningful TTFT was
7.56 s for long arguments and 2.55 s for short arguments because the parser
buffered the arguments until the invoke ended. After this change, those values
dropped to 383 ms and 583 ms, reductions of 94.9% and 77.2%, respectively.

Adaptive thinking emits reasoning before the tool call, so its meaningful TTFT
is intentionally much less sensitive to argument buffering. With
tool_choice: auto, the long adaptive scenario produced tool calls in 90% of
the after requests and 75% of the before requests; those rows are therefore
supporting observations rather than the controlled comparison.

The near-zero “meaningful TPOT” in the before image is not faster generation.
It is a measurement artifact: by the time buffered arguments become visible,
the request is almost complete. A client-side TPOT calculation must not move
the start time to the first meaningful fragment while still dividing by every
completion token; it should instead use actual fragment/token arrival times or
server-side token timing.

Test Plan

    cargo test -p tool-parser --test tool_parser_minimax_m3 test_m3_streaming_emits_complete_parameters_before_invoke_end -- --exact

    (1 passed).
  • cargo +nightly fmt -p tool-parser -- --check — passed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved MiniMax M3 tool-call streaming to emit completed parameters incrementally.
    • Supports multiple tool invocations in a single streamed response.
    • Handles malformed, incomplete, or prematurely terminated tool calls without producing invalid final arguments.
    • Preserves partial text when tool-call wrappers are invalid.
    • Correctly handles Unicode split across streaming chunks and nested parameter schemas.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for incremental parameters, duplicate parameters, malformed input, resets, and incomplete streams.

Walkthrough

The MiniMax M3 parser now decodes tool calls incrementally. It emits completed parameters before </invoke>, handles malformed or truncated input, supports multiple invokes, and resets active state. Tests cover Unicode boundaries, duplicate parameters, malformed input, reset behavior, and incomplete streams.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Incremental tool-call decoder
crates/tool_parser/src/parsers/minimax_m3.rs
The parser tracks wrapper, invoke, element, function, and parameter state. It recursively searches schema branches, emits completed parameters, handles malformed or partial tokens, supports multiple invokes, and clears active state during reset().
Streaming behavior validation
crates/tool_parser/tests/tool_parser_minimax_m3.rs
Tests validate early parameter emission, Unicode chunk boundaries, duplicate parameters, malformed parameters, reset behavior, and truncated invokes without inventing a final }.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c61d9

The incremental MiniMax-M3 parser cannot currently be built because property_schema is defined twice. Remove or consolidate the duplicate definition before merging.

887-902: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

🟡 Nit: Extract the shared invoke-header start logic.

Lines 887-902 and 959-974 perform the same work: advance current_tool_id, call helpers::ensure_capacity, set current_function_name, and push the name-only ToolCallItem. The malformed-header detection at 841-848 and 927-934 is also duplicated, as is the malformed-name skip.

Extract one begin_invoke(&mut self, name: String) -> ToolCallItem helper and one header-name helper. A single definition keeps the two entry paths in agreement when the header rules change.

🟡 Nit: Encode the non-empty invariant in StreamingElement.

The decoder requires a non-empty stack while an element is active. The type does not express that. As a result advance_streaming_element carries two unreachable branches: the if let Some(frame) = element.stack.last_mut() guards drop text, and the pop() else arm reports Malformed for an impossible state.

A split representation removes both branches and makes the invariant total.

♻️ Suggested type shape
 struct StreamingElement {
-    stack: Vec<ElementFrame>,
+    /// The element currently being decoded. Always present while active.
+    current: ElementFrame,
+    /// Ancestors of `current`, outermost first.
+    parents: Vec<ElementFrame>,
 }

🔴 Important: Remove the duplicate property_schema definition.

MinimaxM3Parser already defines property_schema on Lines 289-294. This second definition causes Rust error E0592 and prevents the crate from compiling. Replace the earlier implementation with this recursive implementation, or remove the earlier definition.
