Summary

Fixes #44961: usage.prompt_tokens_details was always null in API responses despite --enable-prompt-tokens-details, because num_cached_tokens=0 (no cache hits) is falsy in Python.

PR #18149 wired num_cached_tokens through the engine but the serving layer condition if num_cached_tokens treated 0 the same as None, so prompt_tokens_details was never populated for any request.

Fix

Change and num_cached_tokensand num_cached_tokens is not None in three locations:

File Path
chat_completion/serving.py streaming usage chunk (L884)
chat_completion/serving.py non-streaming final usage (L1308)
completion/serving.py streaming usage chunk (L446)

Test Plan

Logic verification:

num_cached_tokens | old behavior        | new behavior
None              | null (correct)      | null (correct)
0                 | null (WRONG)        | {"cached_tokens": 0}
5                 | {"cached_tokens":5} | {"cached_tokens":5}

  when num_cached_tokens is 0

  num_cached_tokens can be 0 (no cache hits), but 0 is
  falsy in Python.
  The condition 'if num_cached_tokens' treated 0 the same
  as None,
  never populating prompt_tokens_details. Use 'is not None'
   instead.

  Fixes vllm-project#44961
