Overview

Stu Cao reported #17254 and opened this PR because DeepSeek V4.1 could be selected for output parsing without a matching guided-decoding capability check. This exposes grammar availability separately and consolidates the Dynamo regressions from #17541.

Details

• Export get_structural_tag_parser_names(): sorted, unique selectable names from the actual V1/V2 builder lookups in the preprocessor's structural-tag policy, including Dynamo aliases.
• Inherit parser release 0.8.9 from main via fix(frontend): bump dynamo-parsers-v2 to 0.8.9 so the qwen3_coder structural tag does not exclude its own trigger #17676, including frontend-crates #493. No dependency change is needed.
• Keep Rust inventory and V4/V4.1 framing/style regressions, one native Python wiring test, and a caller example for checking availability.

Example (before → after)

before: get_tool_parser_names() lists output parsers only
 after: get_structural_tag_parser_names() includes deepseek_v41 and excludes gemma4

Verification

At 90d1edd63: 80 Rust structural-tag/parser-routing tests and one Python test passed against the rebuilt native extension. All 22 inventory entries match the previous head; an incorrect binding export is rejected. The docs example accepts deepseek_v41 and rejects gemma4. The dialect regression checks strict, named, single-call weather grammars for distinct framing and argument styles. Clippy, formatting, changed-file hooks, and API-doc regeneration passed.

Review scope and follow-up

All current review feedback, including nonblocking cleanup, is addressed here. Tracking: DIS-3280.

Refs #17254. Supersedes #17541. Numeric argument loss remains separate in frontend-crates #510 and #515. Parser-generation/pair validation and backend XGrammar qualification remain separate deployment checks.

Where should the reviewer start?

lib/llm/src/preprocessor/structural_tag.rs, then lib/bindings/python/rust/parsers.rs

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added structural-tag parser support for DeepSeek V4 and V4.1, including their distinct formatting styles.
  • Python users can now query the available structural-tag parser families separately from output parsers.
• Documentation
  • Clarified the difference between tool-parser and structural-tag grammar availability, and documented V4.1 framing, argument style, and guidance defaults.

Walkthrough

The change adds an inventory of parser families with structural-tag grammar builders, exposes it through Python, tests the inventory and DeepSeek dialect serialization, and updates documentation for parser support and grammar checks.

Changes

Structural-tag parser discovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build and verify the grammar inventory lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/chat_completions/tool_parser_v2.rs, lib/llm/src/preprocessor/structural_tag/v2.rs	The parser registry returns sorted, deduplicated families with registered structural-tag builders. Tests check inventory contents and verify that deepseek_v4 and deepseek_v41 use distinct framing markers and argument styles.
Expose the inventory through Python lib/bindings/python/rust/parsers.rs, lib/bindings/python/src/dynamo/_core.pyi, lib/bindings/python/tests/test_parser_capabilities.py	The Python extension registers get_structural_tag_parser_names(). Its declaration and tests cover returned parser families, availability distinctions, and preservation of runtime metadata values and types.
Document parser support and grammar checks docs/fern/pages/use-cases/tool-calling-and-reasoning/structural-tag.md	The documentation adds deepseek_v41 to the supported parser list and describes grammar inventory checks, DeepSeek dialect details, and V4.1 guidance behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 2706a

The inventory is ready to merge. The metadata test should be strengthened to catch nested numeric regressions.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly complete and covers the overview, key changes, validation, review scope, follow-up work, and issue references. It uses alternative headings such as “Details” and “Verification” instead of the template headings, and it omits the Pull Request Checklist section and explicit “Closes #XXXX” entry.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 5 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Follow-up Comments

Check nested numeric types.

43-43: Trivial · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Check nested numeric types.

This test has a coverage gap. The outer type check does not validate numeric types inside {"limits": [...]}. Replace 2**63 with 2**63 + 1 and assert the nested element types.

2**63 + 1 is valid for this metadata representation because serde_json::Value supports non-negative integers through u64.

Suggested test update

-@pytest.mark.parametrize("value", [512, 0.5, True, {"limits": [-3, 0, 2**63]}])
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("value", [512, 0.5, True, {"limits": [-3, 0, 2**63 + 1]}])
 def test_parser_dependency_preserves_runtime_metadata_numbers(value):
     # Parser dependency features also affect serializers used by runtime metadata.
     config = EngineConfig(model="test", runtime_data={"value": value})
     actual = config.runtime_data["value"]
     assert type(actual) is type(value)
+    if isinstance(value, dict):
+        assert [type(item) for item in actual["limits"]] == [
+            type(item) for item in value["limits"]
+        ]
     assert actual == value

Replying to #17255 (review): Removed the unrelated runtime metadata test in 90d1edd63, following jthomson04's scope review. This PR changes no dependencies or serializers.

[keivenchang]

Replying to #17255 (comment):

The metadata test should be strengthened to catch nested numeric regressions.

Removed in 90d1edd63: jthomson04 flagged this test as unrelated. This PR changes no dependencies or serializers.

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient.

Clarified: that check references 2706a72. In 90d1edd63, the public Rust helper, Python export, and stub each have a one-line docstring, as requested in review. Python now has one wiring test.

@coderabbitai does this address the issue, and is this conversation resolvable? if so, please resolve conversation.

[jthomson04]

LGTM. A few non-blocking suggestions below; fine as follow-ups.

@keivenchang Yes. I checked 90d1edd63:

• The unrelated runtime metadata test is removed. My request to strengthen it no longer applies to this PR.
• The public Rust helper, Python export, and stub each have one-line documentation.
• Python now has one wiring test.

The saved 25% docstring coverage result does not establish coverage for this revision. A fresh check is needed to confirm the current percentage.

These concerns need no further code changes. However, the linked conversation is a top-level summary comment, so GitHub has no Resolve conversation action for it. The four inline review threads belong to jthomson04; I cannot resolve those on their behalf.
