Rule-17 review at aaef230: request changes. Every chunking I could produce keeps the assembler's streaming promises, and its newline rule matches vLLM's. What I ask for:
- two places where text the model wrote between or inside tags ends up in no event that reports it;
- tests for seven behaviours the suite does not hold.
aaef230 is b228ae9 rebased onto #2823's e8e75c9. git range-diff shows the commit unchanged, and assembler.rs and mod.rs are byte-identical. An independent reader built the sweep and the mutants at b228ae9. I re-ran the gates, the sweep and the probes on aaef230. Everything I state below I either re-ran or read myself.
What I ran
Gates on aaef230 (toolchain 1.98.0, with a target directory of its own):
cargo +nightly fmt -p smg-symphony --check: 0.cargo clippy -p smg-symphony --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings: 0.cargo test -p smg-symphony: 0. That is 163 unit tests (16 of them new), 2 fixture tests and 7 contract tests.RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc -p smg-symphony --no-deps: 0.
A streaming sweep outside the tree, against this crate by path.
- 101 calls. Each was fed whole, cut in two at every char boundary, cut in three at every pair of boundaries (calls of up to 91 chars), fed char by char, and fed in 300 random chunkings. Each was also cut at every boundary and ended with
finishand withclose. - That is 225,653 runs, with 0 violations of these checks:
- The arguments equal the whole run's and an oracle's built on
tagged::json, and they parse as an object. - After every event, the arguments are a prefix of the final ones and a valid JSON prefix.
- No fragment ends inside a key, an escape, or a number or literal that goes on. No fragment and no
Malformedis empty. - Every byte lands in exactly one event, and
takenis right. There is one start and one end, and the end comes last. - At any cut,
finishgives a prefix of the full call's arguments.closegives an object whose members are a prefix of the final members.
- The arguments equal the whole run's and an oracle's built on
- The calls cover:
- tag-like text inside strings:
</parameter,</parameter >,<parameter=x>,</function>, a trailing<; - escapes and control characters, CJK, emoji and ZWJ sequences, U+10FFFF;
- empty values, 20 nullable texts under two schemas, integers, values written whole and inferred values, nesting 130 deep;
- duplicate keys and
\r\n.
- tag-like text inside strings:
- The sweep's self-test catches a split key, escape, number or literal, a dangling key, and a retraction.
One-line mutants of assembler.rs, run against the crate's suite. See point 3.
vLLM at db9527a4 (v0.31.0), read but not run: vllm/parser/qwen3.py, vllm/parser_engine/parser_engine.py, streaming_parser_engine.py and vllm/tool_parsers/utils.py. vLLM's outputs quoted below come from that reading.
The description's claims
Confirmed:
- A declared string streams.
{"key": "goes out at the tag, then each piece, then"at</parameter>. A trailing\nis held until the next piece decides what it is. - Every other value is written whole through
tagged::json. - A nullable string streams from the first byte that rules out
nullandNone(:374). No chunking retracts a byte. - Exactly the template's two newlines are taken, as vLLM's
_trim_wrapping_newlinestakes them (qwen3.py:60-66),\r\nincluded. closeandfinishbehave as documented.feedreturns the bytes up to</function>. Inside a value, only</parameter>is a tag.
Overstated:
- The module doc (:20-22) and the description say the source of
ToolCallStartis the leading whitespace and the function tag; the description calls that whitespace "the template's newlines between tags". In fact any text goes there, and any text between tags goes into the next event's source (:282). See point 1. - The Test Plan says both endings are tested with no parameter. Only
closeis (:832-835). See point 3.
Changes requested
1. Text between tags reaches no event that reports it (:282)
Stage::Opening | Stage::Between => self.carried.push_str(text) carries any run of text into the next event's source, not only whitespace. The bytes are kept, but no event says they were not understood. A parameter the model wrote can leave the arguments without a trace:
<function=f>\n<parameter city>\nParis\n</parameter>\n<parameter=limit>\n5\n</parameter>\n</function>gives{"limit": 5}and noMalformed.\n<parameter city>\nParis\n</parameter>becomes the source of thelimitfragment.< parameter=city>is lost the same way, giving{}. vLLM reads it, because its parameter pattern accepts whitespace inside both tags (qwen3.py:51-56), and gives{"city": "Paris"}.I will call it now <function=f>puts the prose inToolCallStart's source. The same prose in a block with no function tag comes back asMalformedatclose.
Elsewhere, text like this is reported:
- The crate says nothing disappears silently (lib.rs:6-8).
json::Assemblerreturns such text asMalformed { InvalidArguments }(json/assembler.rs:212-218).formats/qwen3.rsreturns text around the object asMalformed, run by run (qwen3.rs:8-10).- This assembler already does it for a second function tag (:267-269). The open thread there raises the same problem for that tag's name.
Keep carrying whitespace. Return every other run between tags as Malformed, run by run, so the chunking changes nothing. Whether to also accept vLLM's spaced spellings is a separate call, which the module doc leaves to adversarial fixtures. Until that call is made, the text should not vanish.
2. A tag inside a name becomes part of the name (:276, :283-303)
In the two name stages, a tag falls through to text (:276), which appends it to the name up to the next >:
<function=f</function>starts a call namedf</function, and the call does not end. Atfinish, the rest of the block comes back asMalformed.<parameter=a</function>writes the keya</function.
vLLM has a transition for exactly this case, "Malformed: while still in TOOL_NAME" (qwen3.py:167-171), and it ends the call. A tag inside a name should end the name as malformed, and </function> should end the call.
Also, <function=> starts a call named "". vLLM refuses an empty name (_accept_tool_name, parser_engine.py:416). Please say what an empty name does.
3. Seven behaviours no test holds
Each of these one-line mutants passes the whole suite (163, 2 and 7 tests) and fails the sweep. They were run at b228ae9, where the assembler and its tests are byte-identical. The input column is what a test would feed.
| Line | Mutant | Input | What breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 197 | finish ends a started call only once a member is written |
<function=f>\n, then finish() |
no ToolCallEnd. This is the Test Plan's "both endings … with no parameter". |
| 163 | close ignores done |
a whole call, then close() |
{"city": "x"}} and a second ToolCallEnd |
| 216 | close treats an undecided nullable as an open string |
<function=f>\n<parameter=note>\nnul, then close() |
the arguments are "{} |
| 179 | close drops the carried bytes |
<function=f>\n, then close() |
the \n is in no event |
| 427 | a fragment is pushed with no JSON | pieces <function=f>\n<parameter=city>\n, \n, … |
a "" fragment |
| 225 | leftover pushes a Malformed with no bytes |
<function=f>, then finish() |
an empty Malformed |
| 271 | a stray </parameter> outside a value is dropped |
</parameter> between two parameters |
its bytes are in no event |
For Simo's list (not blocking): where this and vLLM differ, by cause
- Which values stream early.
- vLLM streams a value before its close only when the schema's types are exactly
{"string"}(parser_engine.py:377), or when the function declares no properties. - Here, a nullable string also streams once null is ruled out. vLLM holds it. The final values agree.
- vLLM streams a value before its close only when the schema's types are exactly
- Typing, from #2823's
json, visible in the final arguments.- vLLM's Python engine, which
vllm serve --tool-call-parser qwen3_coderruns, keeps an undeclared key as a string (_coerce_dictskips it, parser_engine.py:289-291), as it does every value of an undeclared function. Here those values are inferred, so5is{"n": 5}, not{"n": "5"}. - vLLM's Python reader takes
NULLandNullas null andNoneas a string (utils.py:1117-1119). HereNoneis null andNULLis a string.
- vLLM's Python engine, which
- When fragments go out.
- vLLM holds a string's closing
"until the next key or the flush (parser_engine.py:350-360). It sends, "key":at the tag for a value written whole. - Here the
"goes at</parameter>, and a whole value goes together with its key. - The accumulated arguments are the same; the fragment boundaries differ.
- vLLM holds a string's closing
- What ends a value. vLLM ends a value at a spaced
</parameter >, at the next<parameter=, or at</function>. Here only an exact</parameter>ends it, as the module doc says. For example, with no</parameter>before the next<parameter=:- vLLM gives
{"city": "Paris", "limit": 5}; - here,
{"city": "Paris\n<parameter=limit>\n5"}.
- vLLM gives
- Malformed endings, where vLLM's own stream breaks and this one holds.
</parameter >with a space: vLLM's prefix check fails (parser_engine.py:1041), and its client keeps{"city": "Paris\n</parameter.- Duplicate keys: vLLM's dict merges them and refuses the flush (parser_engine.py:1068-1069), so its client keeps
{"city": "A", "limit":. Here both members are written. - A block that ends before
</function>: vLLM's qwen3 table has no transition from arguments on</tool_call>(qwen3.py:124-197), so the closing marker and what follows become argument text. Herecloseends the call. - Cut after a closed parameter: vLLM closes the object,
{"city": "Paris"}. Here it stays open,{"city": "Paris". This is the documented rule that arguments cut short must not look complete.
Smaller
- The open review threads. I agree with all five:
- :168:
WITHOUT_A_FUNCTIONfor a block with no function tag; - :179: a held tag at
closebetween tags; - :269: the second function tag's name;
- :502: the per-piece copies. I counted 9 to 10 allocations per streamed piece; time is linear.
- :529: a nullable string in the every-chunking test. The sweep above ran 40 nullable texts through every chunking with no violation, so the test would hold behaviour that already works.
- :168:
- The words that mean null are written twice:
["null", "None"]here (:374), and injson(value.rs:163, :201). If #2823's list changes, this one has to change with it. Keep one list. - Code that does nothing, each line an equivalent mutant that passes both the suite and the sweep:
- :387 and :397-399 take the key and put it back, and it is not read again once the value streams;
- :392 sets
text_start = 0; - :365-367;
- the
insert_str(0, …)at :431, wherecarriedholds only""or"\n".
- Buffering.
- A value written whole is held until
</parameter>, by design. - A name is held twice, in the stage and in
carried(:300-301, :314-315). A 1 MiB name with no>holds about 2 MiB. feedcannot reportBufferOverflow, as injson::Assembler. Max output tokens bound this today.
- A value written whole is held until
- The two unchecked operations hold by invariant:
seen - held_before(:153): the closing tag always extends past the held prefix.- The slice at :465:
text_startis read only while a value is written whole or undecided, andcarriedonly grows then.

…hat cut a name short and empty names From the review of #2831. Text between tags went into the next event's source whatever it was, so a parameter tag the model misspelt (`<parameter city>`) left the arguments without a trace. Now only whitespace between tags is the template's and goes into the next source; any other text comes back as `Malformed` run by run, with the whitespace before it as `Dropped { Wrapper }`, so the bytes stay in order. A tag inside a name no longer joins the name: it is reported as a tag cut short, and the tag is read where the name began, so `<function=f</function>` ends the block and `<parameter=a</function>` ends the call. An empty name (`<function=>`, `<parameter=>`) is reported and starts nothing. A second function tag is reported whole, with its name. A `</parameter>` between parameters is reported as a tag out of place. The two endings keep the bytes the scanner held as a possible tag out of every source: they come back as `Malformed` at `close` and at `finish`, where before a held `</param` between parameters went into the closing fragment's source. A block that closed with no function tag says so, not that the tag never closed. Smaller: the words that mean null are one list, `value::NULL_WORDS`, shared with `json`; a name is held once, as a slice of the carried bytes; a streamed piece is escaped into one string with the piece's capacity, with the escaping pinned against serde_json's; the key is no longer taken and put back for nothing. Eighteen more tests pin what the review found untested: an ending with no member written still ends the call, neither ending adds to a call that closed, an undecided nullable string closes as a value written whole, carried bytes survive `close`, no fragment and no `Malformed` is ever empty, a stray closing tag is reported, and the cases above.

Re-review at 25d7e4e: request changes, for one defect that is left. My three asks are taken, and the sweep holds everywhere except one path. When a block ends inside a second function tag, close() leaves a started call open (175-179). Five tests are also missing, and the branch needs a rebase onto main.
What I ran
-
Gates on 25d7e4e, with a target directory of its own, all exit 0:
cargo +nightly fmt -p smg-symphony --check;cargo clippy -p smg-symphony --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings;cargo test -p smg-symphony: 168 lib tests (21 of them intagged::assembler), 2 fixture tests and 7 contract tests;RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc -p smg-symphony --no-deps.
-
Base. #2823 was squash-merged as 057a4e8, and this branch still carries its six commits, so GitHub reports the pull request as conflicting with main. I cherry-picked aaef230 and 25d7e4e onto main 9f4bce9. It applies cleanly, and its
crates/symphonytree equals 25d7e4e's.test(168/2/7) andclippypass there, so the rebase is mechanical. -
The sweep, extended with this round's rules: 128 calls and 287,825 runs. Every byte is classified as structure, report or whitespace. The 27 new calls cover:
- misspelled and spaced tags, prose, Unicode whitespace,
<and>junk, a JSON block, stray tags; - each tag cutting a name or key short, empty and second function names;
- exhaustive escaping.
Every violation comes from the one path below.
- misspelled and spaced tags, prose, Unicode whitespace,
-
Mutants: 122 one-line mutants of the non-test code. 109 are killed and 13 pass the suite. Four of the 13 are equivalent, and the others are listed under "Tests to add".
-
Allocations: 5.6 to 6.0 per streamed piece, down from 9.4 to 10.5 at aaef230. The scanner accounts for 3.0 of that. A 4 MiB value in 1-byte pieces takes 0.385 s, down from 0.650 s.
My three asks
- Text between tags is reported, run by run (
text_between362-381, the_arm oftag_between324-330).- Whitespace is carried. Any other run is
Malformed, "text between a call's tags". <parameter city>,< parameter=city>and prose before<function=are each reported.- Bytes and reasons are the same in every chunking. Event boundaries follow the pieces, as in qwen3.rs's
surplus.
- Whitespace is carried. Any other run is
- A tag inside a name cuts it short, and is read where the name began (273-286).
<function=f</function>gives<function=f(cut short) and</function>(without a function), and no call.<parameter=a</function>gives{}and the end.- An empty function name is reported, and nothing starts (386-392, 410-414).
- The seven mutants each fail a test now.
Also confirmed:
- One list of null words:
NULL_WORDSat value.rs:59, used at value.rs:166 and assembler.rs:477. - Names are held once: a 1 MiB name with no
>holds about 1.05 MB, down from about 2.1 MB. - The escaping is pinned against serde_json (
the_escaping_is_serde_jsons, 934-949). The sweep matched serde_json in every chunking over 0x00-0x7F, the C1 controls, U+2028, U+2029, U+FEFF, and keys with control characters. - The five bot threads are fixed.
Change requested
close() leaves a started call open when the block ends inside a second function tag (175-179)
A second <function= while a call is open moves the stage to FunctionName (tag_between, 298-302). close() handles that stage as a block that never named a function: it reports the held bytes and returns. It never closes the object and never pushes ToolCallEnd.
<function=f>\n<parameter=city>\nParis\n</parameter>\n<function=g, thenclose(): the arguments stay{"city": "Paris", and noToolCallEndis pushed.<function=f>\n<function=, thenclose(): no fragment and no end. The same happens through<parameter=a<function=g.
finish gets this right (213-218, if self.started()). In close, the FunctionName arm needs the same distinction. When a call has started, report the cut-short tag, then close the object and end the call, as the Between arm does. CodeRabbit's open thread at :179 is the same finding.
Tests to add
Each of these mutants passes the suite and fails the sweep:
| line | mutant | input | what breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 171 | close in Opening drops the held bytes |
\n<para, then close() |
<para is in no event |
| 176 | close inside a function tag drops the held bytes |
<function=f</fun, then close() |
</fun is in no event |
| 177 | the reason close gives inside a function tag |
the same | the reason only |
| 252 | an empty Dropped |
a report with no whitespace before it | an empty event |
| 425 | an undecided value starts at 0 | <parameter=note>null</parameter>, without the template's newline |
{"note": "<parameter=note>null"} |
Three gaps let these through:
- The
FunctionNamearm ofclose()has no test at all, which is how 176, 177 and the defect above got through. - No test gives a nullable value without the leading newline.
- No test puts non-ASCII whitespace between tags.
Smaller
- Two claims in the reply say more than the code does:
- "The dead statements you listed are gone."
text_start = 0and theinsert_str(0, …)are gone. Still there:- the second empty-text return (468-470);
- the key that is taken and put back (490, 495-497).
Both are equivalent mutants. A new check at 519 (if ends_with_newline) is always true.
- "An empty name … as vLLM refuses it." That holds for
<function=>(parser_engine.py:416), but not for a parameter. vLLM keeps an empty parameter name:_PARAM_RE's([^>]*)allows it, and the converter has no emptiness check (qwen3.py:52, 72-75). So<parameter=>\nxgives{"": "x"}there. Reporting it is a fine choice; say that it differs.
- "The dead statements you listed are gone."
- Stale docs.
close(162-163) andfinish(204-205) still say a block with no function tag comes back "asMalformedwhole". It comes back run by run now, and the test asserting that is still nameda_block_without_a_function_tag_is_malformed_whole(1196). - Two rules for whitespace. A report made from a tag (cut short, empty name, second function) keeps the whitespace before it inside the
Malformed. A report made from text drops that whitespace first, asDropped. One rule for both would read better. - The description is from the first round. It says:
- 16 tests and 163 lib tests (21 and 168 now);
- two files (three, with value.rs);
- "Stacked on #2823", which is merged;
- a diffstat against the old base.
For Simo's list (not blocking): what changed against vLLM since the first round
vLLM's outputs below come from reading its code at db9527a4, not from running it.
- Text between tags, prose before
<function=, text after the last parameter, a second function tag: reported here. vLLM drops them silently (streaming_parser_engine.py:501-511; its pattern ignores text outside parameters, qwen3.py:72-75). The arguments agree. <function=f</function>: vLLM makes a callf({})(qwen3.py:167-171, then parser_engine.py:945-965). Here no call is made.<parameter=a</function>: both give{}and end the call. They now agree.<parameter=a<parameter=limit>…: vLLM gives{"a<parameter=limit": "5"}([^>]*, qwen3.py:52). Here it is{"limit": 5}.<function=>: neither makes a call. vLLM is silent, and here it is reported.<parameter=>: vLLM keeps"": "x". Here it is reported and dropped. In the first round this matched vLLM.< parameter=city>: vLLM reads it as{"city": "Paris"}. Here it is now reported instead of lost.- A block ending inside a second function tag: vLLM reads
</tool_call>as argument text and ends the call at the stream's end. Hereclosenever ends it; that is the defect above.
Rule 17
- Commits: one new commit, 25d7e4e, signed off by Simo Lin, with a
Co-authored-byfor Chang Su and no AI trailer. - Scope:
tagged/assembler.rs: +593/−238, now 1290 lines and 21 tests;tagged/value.rs: +6/−4 (NULL_WORDS);mod.rs: unchanged.
- Checks: CodeRabbit, DCO and labeler ran on 25d7e4e. No build or test workflow ran, so the gates above are the only ones run.
…t arrives The second step of the Qwen XML port, on #2823's value rules. A tagged call is `<function=NAME>` and then `<parameter=KEY>` around each value's text; the model writes no arguments object, so the assembler writes one, member by member, in the spelling the references use: `{"city": "Paris", "limit": 5}`. A value declared a string streams: `{"key": "` at its tag, each piece of its text as it arrives, `"` at `</parameter>`. Any other value is written whole at its close with `tagged::json`, since its text has to be read before it is written; a string that may also be null streams from the first byte that rules null out. The template's two newlines around a value are taken away and nothing else; the one before the closing tag is held back until the next piece says whether it is the template's or the value's. Every byte lands in one event's source, in the output's order: the function tag in `ToolCallStart`, each tag and each piece of text in the fragment it produces, and bytes no event has used yet in the next one. Inside a value only `</parameter>` is a tag. `feed` returns the bytes taken, up to `</function>`, as `json::Assembler` does at its brace. Two endings: `close`, for a block the model ended before `</function>`, closes an open string and the object and returns what was held as `Malformed`; `finish`, for a stream that was cut, closes nothing, so arguments cut short never look complete. Sixteen tests: the events of a whole call, every chunking of it, the template's newlines against the value's own, a value without them, a string that may be null at each stage of deciding, inferred and undeclared values, an empty object, JSON escaping of keys and text, tags inside a value, bytes after the close not taken, both endings inside a string and inside a whole value, a block without a function tag, a second function tag, and the carried whitespace.

…hat cut a name short and empty names From the review of #2831. Text between tags went into the next event's source whatever it was, so a parameter tag the model misspelt (`<parameter city>`) left the arguments without a trace. Now only whitespace between tags is the template's and goes into the next source; any other text comes back as `Malformed` run by run, with the whitespace before it as `Dropped { Wrapper }`, so the bytes stay in order. A tag inside a name no longer joins the name: it is reported as a tag cut short, and the tag is read where the name began, so `<function=f</function>` ends the block and `<parameter=a</function>` ends the call. An empty name (`<function=>`, `<parameter=>`) is reported and starts nothing. A second function tag is reported whole, with its name. A `</parameter>` between parameters is reported as a tag out of place. The two endings keep the bytes the scanner held as a possible tag out of every source: they come back as `Malformed` at `close` and at `finish`, where before a held `</param` between parameters went into the closing fragment's source. A block that closed with no function tag says so, not that the tag never closed. Smaller: the words that mean null are one list, `value::NULL_WORDS`, shared with `json`; a name is held once, as a slice of the carried bytes; a streamed piece is escaped into one string with the piece's capacity, with the escaping pinned against serde_json's; the key is no longer taken and put back for nothing. Eighteen more tests pin what the review found untested: an ending with no member written still ends the call, neither ending adds to a call that closed, an undecided nullable string closes as a value written whole, carried bytes survive `close`, no fragment and no `Malformed` is ever empty, a stray closing tag is reported, and the cases above.

… a second function tag From the second review of #2831. `close` handled the function-name stage as a block that never named a function, so a call that had started and was then cut inside a second function tag was left open: no closing brace and no end. A started call now ends closed from every stage, and only a block that never started is reported without one. One rule for the whitespace before a tag that is reported: it is the template's and is dropped, and the tag's own bytes come back as `Malformed`, during the call and at `close` alike; before, a report made from a tag kept the whitespace inside it. Five tests for breaks the suite let through: held bytes at `close` before the function tag and inside it, a report with no whitespace before it (and whitespace outside ASCII), a string that may be null written without the template's newlines, and the two closes above. Two statements that did nothing are gone; the guard for a piece that was only the template's newline stays, since `stream` relies on it. The docs of `close` and `finish`, and a test name, say "reported as it came" instead of "whole".

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Re-review at 5d72aed: approve. The defect is fixed, the five test gaps are closed, and the sweep finds nothing.
What I ran
- Gates on 5d72aed, with a target directory of its own:
cargo +nightly fmt --check,clippy -D warnings,testanddoc -D warningsall exit 0. That is 170 lib tests (23 of them for the assembler), 2 fixture tests and 7 contract tests. - The sweep: 128 cases and 287,825 runs, with 0 violations.
- The broad mutant pass: 136 one-line mutants. 129 are killed and 7 survive (below).
- The rebase: c0f35dd and 818dca6 are
=to aaef230 and 25d7e4e, with identicalcrates/symphonytrees. It merges cleanly onto main.
Confirmed
- The defect is fixed.
close()now branches onstarted(), and a started call ends from every stage (170-197).<function=f>\n<parameter=city>\nParis\n</parameter>\n<function=g, thenclose(), gives{"city": "Paris"}, reports<function=gasCLOSED_EARLY, then ends the call.<function=f>\n<function=, thenclose(), gives{}and the end.- Both are tested (1295-1307).
- The five gaps are closed. Each mutant now fails a test: 171 (test at 1258), 186, 175, 271/253 (test at 1310) and 445 (test at 1332).
- The rest is done:
- the dead lines are gone;
- the docs of
close(161-164) andfinish(199-202) are updated, and the test is renameda_block_without_a_function_tag_reports_every_byte(1216); - the empty parameter name is documented against vLLM (430);
- the description matches the code.
Not blocking
- The whitespace rule, three exceptions. "One rule for whitespace" holds wherever
report_tagruns (247-265). Three paths still keep the whitespace before a report inside theMalformed, though no byte is lost:</function>before any function tag (338-341);closebefore any function tag (171-173), for example"\n<para";finish(208-209), for example"\n</func".
- Seven surviving mutants.
- The sweep catches three: 359 and 369 (a name or key trimmed), and 259 (an empty
Malformedatclose, via<function=f>\n<parameter=city>\nParis\n). - Nothing catches four, which change only a reason or how whitespace is classified: 251, 252, 256 and 274.
- One
closed()test with a held newline (the 259 input) would pin both 252 and 259.
- The sweep catches three: 359 and 369 (a name or key trimmed), and 259 (an empty

Description
Problem
On #2823 (merged as 057a4e8), which decides what a tagged value's text means as JSON. A tagged call (Qwen 3.5 to 3.8, Qwen3-Coder, and the other families that write
<function=NAME>and<parameter=KEY>) carries no arguments object; the parser writes one. Nothing in Symphony did that yet:json::Assemblerturns a JSON object into a call's events, and the tagged syntax needs its own.Solution
symphony::tagged::Assemblertakes one call's bytes in pieces, as a format cuts them out of the output, and pushes the call's events:ToolCallStartonce<function=NAME>is whole, with the leading whitespace and the tag as its source.ToolCallArgumentsas the object is built, in the spelling the references use:{"city": "Paris", "limit": 5}. A value declared a string is streamed:{"key": "at its tag, each piece of its text as it arrives,"at</parameter>. Any other value is written whole at its close withtagged::json, because its text has to be read before it is written. A string that may also be null streams from the first byte that rules null out.ToolCallEndat</function>, after}(or{}for a call without parameters).The template writes one newline after
<parameter=KEY>and one before</parameter>; the assembler takes exactly those two away, as vLLM's parsers do. The second cannot be told from a newline the value ends with until the closing tag follows it, so a newline at the end of a streamed piece is held until the next piece says which it is.Every byte lands in exactly one event. Whitespace between tags is the template's and goes into the next event's source: the function tag's into
ToolCallStart, a parameter tag's and the value's text into the fragments they produce, the rest into the closing}. Anything else between tags, a tag out of its place, a tag that cuts a name short, an empty name and a second function tag come back asMalformedwith a reason (the whitespace before such a report is dropped as the template's), so the model's bytes are never read as something they are not and never vanish into a source. Inside a value only</parameter>is a tag;<function=,<parameter=and</function>there are the value's text (vLLM ends a value at the next<parameter=or</function>as well, a tolerance to judge with adversarial fixtures rather than port now).feedreturns how many bytes the call took, up to</function>, asjson::Assemblerdoes at its closing brace, so the format routes what follows.Two endings, and why.
closeis for a block the model ended before</function>(its closing marker came, or the next call began): the call is over as far as the model is concerned, so an open string is closed, the object is closed, and what was held comes back asMalformed.finishis for a stream that was cut: nothing is closed, as injson::Assembler, because arguments cut short must not look complete to a client. A value written whole that never closed comes back asMalformedin both, since its key was never written.Not here: the format (
<tool_call>markers, reasoning, theFORMATSentry, fixture replay), which is the next step; call ids and indices, which the format mints and passes toAssembler::new; checking the name against the request's tools.Changes

null,None, a prefix of either, text that rules both out mid-stream); an undeclared value inferred and a second member's comma; an undeclared function; an empty object; JSON escaping of keys and text, pinned against serde_json's; tags inside a value; bytes after</function>not taken, and neither ending adding to a closed call; text between tags reported with the whitespace before it dropped, a report with no whitespace before it, and whitespace outside ASCII; a tag that cuts a name short; an empty name; both endings inside a streamed string, inside a whole value, inside an undecided one, inside a key, inside a second function tag, with held bytes, and with no parameter; a block without a function tag; a second function tag; a stray</parameter>; whitespace between tags carried into the next source.Reviewed twice by Alex's session; its sweep of 287,825 chunkings found no streaming violation.
Not measured here: replay against bellwether's parse sets, which needs the format (next step) and the recorded Qwen-style sets on bellwether's main.
