Problem

CanopyWave's DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash deployments reject forced tool_choice modes while thinking is enabled, but accept required and named-function choices when requests set reasoning_effort: "none". The catalogue could not express that conditional capability, so the gateway always downgraded those requests to auto.

Routing also ignored whether a mapping could preserve the requested tool choice, even when another mapping could honor it.

Changes

  • Add supportedToolChoicesWithThinkingDisabled and declare required and function for both CanopyWave DeepSeek V4 mappings.
  • Share one tool-choice capability check between request shaping and routing, including the existing authoritative supportedParameters gate.
  • Strictly filter incapable mappings during auto routing.
  • Prefer capable mappings for pinned models and dynamic routes, while preserving the existing downgrade-to-auto fallback when no capable mapping exists.
  • Apply request-compatibility filtering before sticky-session selection, re-pinning the session when its saved mapping cannot honor the request.
  • Document the sticky-session precedence and the no-capable-mapping fallback.
  • Keep forced web-search choices out of function-tool routing checks.
  • Record tool_choice routing exclusions in telemetry.
  • Add live E2E coverage for required and named-function choices with thinking disabled.

Verification

  • pnpm format
  • pnpm build — 17/17 tasks passed
  • Focused unit tests — 382/382 passed
  • Sticky-session candidate-change tests — 5/5 passed
  • Scoped E2E for canopywave/deepseek-v4-pro and canopywave/deepseek-v4-flash — 28 files and 121 tests passed; 96 irrelevant tests skipped
  • Live forced-tool cases passed for both mappings with reasoning_effort: "none" and returned finish_reason: "tool_calls"

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Enhancements
    • Improved tool-choice handling for DeepSeek models when reasoning is disabled.
    • Preserved required and named-function choices where supported; unsupported choices convert to auto during active reasoning.
    • Routing now prioritizes compatible providers, records exclusions, and updates incompatible sticky-session selections.
    • Automatic routing avoids providers that cannot honor requested choices, while fixed or dynamic routes retain fallback behavior.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for provider-specific behavior, routing, fallback handling, sticky sessions, and reasoning modes.

CanopyWave's DeepSeek V4 Pro/Flash deployments reject tool_choice
"required" and named functions with "Thinking mode does not support this
tool_choice" while thinking is on, so both mappings coerce them to "auto".
CanopyWave confirmed (and a live probe verifies) that both modes work once
thinking is disabled, so requests sending reasoning_effort "none" no longer
get downgraded.

Adds supportedToolChoicesWithThinkingDisabled to the provider mapping type:
extra tool_choice modes that only apply to thinking-disabled requests.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds conditional tool-choice metadata, shared support checks, provider-aware routing, session-pin compatibility checks, routing telemetry, and tests. Disabled reasoning enables additional tool-choice modes for selected mappings.

Changes

Tool-choice support and routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool-choice capability metadata
packages/models/src/models.ts, packages/models/src/models/deepseek.ts, packages/actions/src/tool-choice-support.ts, packages/actions/src/index.ts, packages/shared/src/routing-telemetry.ts
Mappings can declare tool-choice modes that apply when reasoning is disabled. CanopyWave DeepSeek V4 mappings declare required and named-function support. Shared helpers and telemetry exports support this behavior.
Conditional request normalization
packages/actions/src/prepare-request-body.ts, packages/actions/src/prepare-request-body.spec.ts
Request preparation uses mapping capabilities and combines conditional modes when reasoning_effort is none. Tests cover CanopyWave, Novita, and omitted tool_choice metadata behavior.
Capability-aware provider routing
apps/gateway/src/chat/tools/provider-filter-reasons.ts, apps/gateway/src/chat/tools/provider-filter-reasons.spec.ts, apps/gateway/src/chat/chat.ts, apps/docs/content/features/routing.mdx
Routing filters and prefers mappings that honor the requested tool choice, records tool_choice exclusions, propagates the request across routing paths, and preserves fallback candidates when needed.
Session-pin and end-to-end validation
apps/gateway/src/session-sticky.spec.ts, apps/gateway/src/chat-helpers.e2e.ts, apps/gateway/src/chat-toolcalls.e2e.ts
Sticky routing switches to a compatible provider and updates the model-specific pin. End-to-end tests verify required and named-function tool calls with disabled reasoning.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 83a39

The PR improves routing for forced tool choices while preserving fallback behavior; a minor test-selection mismatch could exercise a mapping that runtime routing would exclude, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

Routing ignored a mapping's supportedToolChoices, so a request forcing tool
use could land on a provider that cannot honour it and get silently
downgraded to "auto" — with another provider of the same model able to serve
it verbatim.

Auto routing now drops mappings that would have to downgrade the requested
tool_choice (a new "tool_choice" routing-exclusion reason), since it can pick
a different model. For a pinned model the constraint is a preference instead:
candidates narrow to the capable mappings only when at least one exists, so a
request that works today never turns into a 400.

Both paths and prepareRequestBody share mappingSupportsToolChoice, including
the thinking-disabled widening, so routing can't elect a mapping for a
capability the request builder then strips. The helper deliberately ignores
supportedParameters: those lists are not exhaustive (74 mappings omit
tool_choice while honouring it, GPT-5.x among them).

Use one effective tool-choice capability rule.

Routing can select a mapping as capable while request preparation downgrades the same request to "auto". For example, a mapping that declares "required" in supportedToolChoices but omits tool_choice from a non-empty supportedParameters list passes Lines 97-99 and fails Lines 1894-1910.

Match model selection to the generated test cases.

This filter accepts a mapping that supports either "required" or "function". apps/gateway/src/chat-toolcalls.e2e.ts Lines 136-150 generates both cases for every selected model. A mapping that supports only one mode will always receive one unsupported request.

Require both modes here, or return the supported modes and generate only matching cases.

Use the shared capability predicate for E2E model selection.

This filter bypasses the supportedParameters gate used by routing. A mapping can declare both conditional modes but still reject tool_choice through the authoritative parameter gate. Use mappingSupportsToolChoice with thinkingDisabled: true for both modes.
