🔴 Important: Replaying every terminal over the whole prompt lets text that isn't template structure (user messages, tool results) move the start state. The hand-written parser never did this. It only compared the last <think> with the last </think>, so <tool_call> in the prompt had no effect.
Concrete case, with Qwen 3.5 (tagged) and thinking on:
<|im_start|>user\nwhy did you print <tool_call> there?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n<think>\n
The replay goes content + call_open → calls. The generation prompt's <think> has no row from calls, so the replay ends in calls, and the Emits::Arguments guard below skips it. The output then starts in content: the whole thought streams as Content, and the model's </think> (no row in content) leaks to the client as content text too. The old leaves_thinking_open returns true for this prompt.
This is likely in agent loops. A <tool_response> holding a grep result or a source file with one unbalanced <tool_call> (this crate's own sources would do it) is enough. No test feeds more than the generation tail: the parity test passes only GenerationPrompt::tail, and after_prompt has no prompt with a stray call marker. So the 34 unchanged tests can't catch this, even though the PR's claim is parity with the parser it replaces.
Possible fixes:
- Don't follow transitions into or out of an
Argumentsstate during the replay, i.e. treat call terminals as no-ops inseed. The prompt can never leave the engine there anyway. For Qwen3 this matches the old rule exactly: reasoning iff the last think marker is<think>. - Or replay only the generation prompt's tail, which is format data (e.g. after the last
<|im_start|>assistant). That also avoids collecting aVec<Piece>holding a copy of the whole prompt's text per choice.
Either way, a test with a stray <tool_call> earlier in the prompt would lock it in.

🟡 Nit: Engine::new checks only that the table has a state. But the engine also relies on two things the Format builder never enforces, and both fail silently instead of loudly:
- State 0 must emit
Content. If a table's first state isReasoning(e.g. a family whose output begins mid-thought, which is likely among the planned DeepSeek/GLM/MiniMax tables), output text is pushed asReasoningwith noReasoningStartbefore it.</think>then pushes aReasoningEndwith no matching start. A prompt that replays to a content state makesseed'senter(Reasoning → Content)emit a loneReasoningEndbefore the output starts. If state 0 isArguments,text()takes the "no call open" fallback and reports call bytes as content. - An
Argumentsstate needs a call syntax.Call::newsilently falls back to JSON whencallswas never set (line 105). The module doc says tables become TOML later, and then that is config which should be rejected, not defaulted.
Duplicate state, terminal, or transition rows also shadow each other silently, because position/find takes the first match.
Since definitions are code today, asserting these here (or in a Format::validate that the TOML loader can reuse) is cheap and keeps the next table from producing unbalanced reasoning events.

🟡 Nit: This adds a third Allowance, but three docs still describe only two:
- The enum's own doc (line 339): "Both are cases bellwether refuses or tracks on its side".
- The module doc (lines 16–20): "That test also allows two classes of difference the corpus itself has ([
Allowance]): … a reference argument whose type contradicts … and reasoning in a reference whose template writes no thought." Family::allowances(line 290): "The corpus classes this syntax meets: the tagged syntax cannot carry a type … and a template without a thought drops the reference's reasoning." It says nothing about theQwen2_5branch added below it.
The module doc is the one a reader checks to see what the parity test lets through. It should name this third class and its guard (the output holds no <tool_call>), since the guard is why the class can't hide a call the parser missed.
The design's section 4, as the first step of S1. A Format is a table: the terminals a model writes between its text, named; the states its text falls into (content, reasoning, or a call's arguments); the transitions `from + terminal = to`; and the call syntax inside an arguments state. The Engine is the one Parser that runs any table: the scanner finds the terminals, the table says where each one moves the engine, a terminal with no row from the current state is text where the model put it, entering or leaving a reasoning state pushes ReasoningStart or ReasoningEnd, entering an arguments state opens a call and leaving one ends it, and the prompt's terminals are replayed over the same table to seed the state the output starts in. formats::Qwen3 becomes the table qwen3(syntax): four terminals, three states, five rows, with its 34 tests unchanged, which hold the table and the engine to the events the hand-written parser gave. The Qwen3 shorthand struct goes with the parser it named; Engine::new(qwen3(CallSyntax::Json)) is the call.

… in the parity test Qwen2.5 writes <tool_call> blocks and has no thought, so its table has two terminals and two states, and <think> is text: one family, two tables, and the engine between them unchanged. The fixture test replays one table of Qwen checkpoints bellwether records, each with the Format that reads it (qwen3 with the JSON or the tagged call syntax, qwen2_5) and how its template ends the generation prompt (the model writes its own <think>; the prompt opens the thought, honouring thinking off or always; no thought). A slug bellwether has not recorded is skipped with a notice; qwen3-8b keeps its own test as CI's gate.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Seed the start state from the generation-prompt tail, not from the whole prompt.
seed replays every terminal in the full prompt text. The prompt also contains user-controlled message text. Lines 43-50 of the module doc confirm that the whole prompt is scanned. Two cases break:
- Qwen3: a user writes "what does
<think>do?". The engine takescontent + think_open = reasoning, and nothing in the prompt closes the thought. The model's whole answer is then emitted asReasoninguntil a</think>arrives. If none arrives, the client sees no content. - Qwen 3.5: a user message contains
<tool_call>. The replay moves tocalls. The table has nocalls + think_openrow, so the generation prompt's<think>\ndoes not move the engine. Lines 321-323 skip the arguments state, so the engine starts in content. The model's reasoning and its</think>then appear as content.
The tags reach the decoded prompt text in both cases. A typed <think> usually becomes the special token, and the prompt is decoded with special tokens kept. The table cannot tell template terminals from terminals inside user text. Only the assistant generation prompt decides where the output starts. Replay only the bytes after the last <|im_start|>assistant\n. A table-level "reset" terminal for the turn marker is another option. With either fix, earlier turns cannot leak state into the output.
Proposed fix (tail-only replay)
fn seed(&mut self, prompt: &str, out: &mut Events) {
+ // Only the generation prompt decides where the output starts; earlier turns hold user
+ // text that may spell a terminal.
+ let prompt = prompt
+ .rfind("<|im_start|>assistant")
+ .map_or(prompt, |at| &prompt[at..]);
let mut scanner = Scanner::new(self.format.terminal_texts());If the turn marker should stay format-specific, add it to Format as a field rather than hard-coding it here. Add a test where a user message holds an unclosed <think> or <tool_call>.

Description
Follows #2838 (merged as 529e3a3); rebased onto main, two commits, 3d29561 and 563d4c2. The first step of S1 in the Symphony plan: the design's section 4, "formats are data", and section 5's engine under them.
Problem
formats::Qwen3was a hand-written parser: its markers, its three regions and the moves between them were Rust, so a second family meant a second parser, and the design's escape-hatch rule names that as the compromise to remove ("Qwen3 becomes a table when the engine exists, with its fixture judgement unchanged"). Every family in the plan (DeepSeek's DSML, GLM, MiniMax, Step3, Hy4) is a table of the same shape: terminals, states, transitions, a call syntax.Solution
Format(src/format.rs): the table. Named terminals with their text spelling; states that emit content, reasoning or a call's arguments; transitionsfrom + terminal = to; the call syntax inside an arguments state. Built by methods that add one row each; a row naming a state or terminal the table lacks is a programming error and panics with the name (definitions are written in the crate). Token ids for terminals come in a later step.Engine(src/engine.rs): the oneParserthat runs any table. It is the Qwen3 parser with the table in place of itsmatch: a terminal with no row from the current state is text where the model put it; entering or leaving a reasoning state pushesReasoningStart/ReasoningEnd; entering an arguments state opens a call and leaving one ends it, socalls + call_open = callsends the open call and starts the next; a terminal that moves the engine isDropped { Wrapper }. The prompt's terminals are replayed over the same table from the initial state, and the output begins in the state they leave (an arguments state is not entered from the prompt; a prefilled call is a later step). Everything the engine decides is listed in its module doc, moved from the Qwen3 module.qwen3(syntax)is now that table: four terminals, three states, five rows. Its 34 tests are unchanged and pass over the engine, which is the point: they were written against the hand-written parser and hold the table to the same events. TheQwen3shorthand struct goes with the parser it named; the call isEngine::new(qwen3(CallSyntax::Json))orqwen3(CallSyntax::Tagged(declared)).qwen2_5()is the second table: two terminals, two states, no thought, so<think>is text. One family, two tables, the engine between them unchanged.MODELS: slug, theFormatthat reads it, and how its template ends the generation prompt) over every slug bellwether has recorded, skipping the rest with a notice;qwen3-8bkeeps its own test as CI's gate. Four prompt shapes: the model writes its own<think>(Qwen3); the prompt opens the thought, honouring thinking off (Qwen 3.5 and later); the prompt always opens it (the 2507 thinking line, Qwen3-Next-Thinking, Qwen3-VL-Thinking, whose templates have no switch); no thought (Qwen2.5, Qwen3-Coder, the instruct variants).Changes
