Summary

  • Expose Dynamo's canonical internal finish reason through opt-in nvext.detailed_finish_reason.
  • Keep standard OpenAI finish_reason values unchanged, so cancellation remains stop.
  • Preserve the extension through streaming and non-streaming aggregation for /v1/chat/completions and /v1/completions.
  • Use a typed NvExtResponseInput boundary for reusable response metadata construction.
  • Document the new nvext.extra_fields selector.

SGLang 0.5.18 defaults pause_generation to abort mode and emits an abort finish reason. Dynamo parses both abort and cancelled as FinishReason::Cancelled. Clients can now request detailed_finish_reason and receive "cancelled" without introducing a non-standard OpenAI finish reason.

Closes #14418

Validation

  • cargo test -p dynamo-llm detailed_finish_reason --lib
  • cargo test -p dynamo-llm protocols::common::extensions::tests --lib
  • cargo test -p dynamo-llm test_multiple_deltas_merge_nvext_fields --lib
  • cargo clippy -p dynamo-llm --lib --tests -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • python3 docs/fern/scripts/docs_lint.py --scan docs (0 errors; 8 pre-existing warnings)
  • Live NVIDIA B200 test with SGLang 0.5.18 and Qwen3-0.6B:
    • /v1/completions: finish_reason: "stop", nvext.detailed_finish_reason: "cancelled"
    • /v1/chat/completions: finish_reason: "stop", nvext.detailed_finish_reason: "cancelled"
    • Both requests were interrupted by calling /engine/pause_generation without a mode, exercising SGLang's default mode="abort".

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds optional backend termination_status support to NVExt responses. OpenAI chat and completion responses propagate this value while preserving existing finish_reason mappings. Aggregation tests and NVExt documentation cover the new field.

Changes

Termination status propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
NVExt termination-status contract
lib/llm/src/protocols/common/extensions.rs
NVExt response selection and construction support optional termination_status. Tests cover field selection, forwarding, and final-response behavior.
OpenAI termination-status propagation
lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/chat_completions/delta.rs, lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/completions/delta.rs
Chat and completion delta processing passes backend termination status to NVExt while retaining the existing OpenAI finish-reason mapping. Regression tests cover cancelled responses.
Aggregated output and documentation
lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/chat_completions/aggregator.rs, lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/completions/aggregator.rs, docs/fern/pages/developer-guide/additional-resources/nvidia-request-extensions-nvext.md
Aggregation tests preserve termination_status. Documentation lists the field, canonical values, and selection behavior.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b3c2

The new optional termination-status field can misreport why a completion ended when a request returns multiple choices with different terminal states. This should be constrained to single-choice requests or represented per choice before merge.

- Around line 800-804: Update the termination_status assignment in the response
aggregation flow so it is emitted only when the request contains exactly one
choice; otherwise return None rather than reusing
termination_status_from_backend. Preserve the existing single-choice behavior
and do not aggregate one backend status across multiple choices.
