skippy: rework 0009 tagged tool-arg ordering to permute(required) - #1540
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe patch adds Skippy tokenization and staged-chat APIs. It updates PEG tool parsing for argument order, validation, aliases, schemas, and lazy triggers. It preserves content states, detects reasoning fields, updates the ABI version, and expands parser and generation-prompt tests. ChangesSkippy chat and tool processing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change updates tool-call parsing and related API behavior, but the current implementation can accept multiple tool calls when parallel calls are disabled, allow caller options to override an explicit thinking setting, and write through a null token buffer. These bounded correctness and crash risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Port the ggml-org/llama.cpp#26472 reviewer-preferred design onto main's patch queue (the tagged tool-arg rework previously staged on the jd/apple-core-ai stack as 0010): required arguments in the tagged tool-call grammar are matched through permute(), which accepts any ordering while requiring each argument exactly once, so the grammar structurally rejects omitted and duplicated required arguments instead of accepting them and throwing a bespoke mapper-side error at parse time. Optional arguments keep a zero_or_more choice and may interleave anywhere among required ones (each permuted required slot is optional_run + required + space, plus a trailing optional_run). Deletes the TOOL_REQUIRED_ARG_PREFIX tagging, the required_args / seen_args bookkeeping, and the Missing/Duplicate tool argument throws. The two throw-asserting tests now assert grammar-level rejection ("does not match the expected format"). Mirrors the generic JSON tool path construction (common/chat.cpp), including the COMMON_CHAT_MAX_PERMUTE = 6 fallback-to-sequence policy. Verified against main's queue: prepare-llama.sh pinned applies all 32 patches clean onto pin cc83d7b4; test-chat-auto-parser and test-chat-peg-parser suites green on the prepared tree; the new interleaved/reversed/omitted/duplicated tagged-arg cases pass under test-chat --template GLM-4.7-Flash. Full test-chat is blocked by a pre-existing, unrelated fixture crash at test_msgs_oaicompat_json_conversion (reproduced identically on a pristine-main prepared tree with this change absent).

0009-Add-Skippy-tokenization-and-stage-chat.patchonmainper the upstream review of ggml-org/llama.cpp#26472 (aldehir's feedback): the tagged tool-call argument grammar now accepts required arguments in any order viapermute(), which structurally requires each exactly once — replacing the previous design that relaxed the grammar and threw bespoke mapper-side errors ("Missing required tool argument" / "Duplicate tool argument") at parse time.(This is the same rework previously staged on the
jd/apple-core-aistack as 0010, ported tomain's queue numbering and pincc83d7b4.)Design
build_tool_parser_tag_tagged: required args go throughp.permute("tool-<name>-required", required_slots)where each slot isoptional_run + required + space, plus a trailingoptional_run. Optional args (zero_or_more(any_opt + space)) may appear in any order, any number of times, interleaved anywhere among the required ones — preserving interleaving (an optional emitted between two required args) that a plainpermute + optional tailwould have broken.TOOL_REQUIRED_ARG_PREFIXmarker, the mapper-siderequired_args/seen_argsbookkeeping, and both throws. Grammar-level rejection replaces them: a call omitting or duplicating a required argument does not match the grammar ("does not match the expected ... format"), matching the JSON tool path's behavior.common/chat.cpp), including theCOMMON_CHAT_MAX_PERMUTE = 6fallback-to-fixed-sequence policy above 6 required args.Verification
