Summary

Poolside Laguna force-opens the thinking block: the model emits chain-of-thought then a literal </think> with no opening <think>. The stock poolside_v1 reasoning parser previously subclassed DeepSeekV3ReasoningParser, which only installs the DeepSeek R1 force-open path when chat_template_kwargs.thinking / enable_thinking is True and otherwise falls back to IdentityReasoningParser (passthrough). With that Identity fallback, CoT and a bare </think> land in content and the reasoning channel stays empty.

This change subclasses DeepSeekR1ReasoningParser directly so force-open is always on (same semantics as --reasoning-format deepseek on the llama.cpp side), and keeps the assistant-turn-scoped is_reasoning_end walk so a stray </think> in prior conversation history does not short-circuit the streaming path.

Related discussion class: #49379 (force-open / asymmetric </think> handling for poolside).

Changes

  • vllm/reasoning/poolside_v1_reasoning_parser.py: inherit from DeepSeekR1ReasoningParser; drop the DeepSeekV3 / Identity delegation path; keep <assistant>-scoped is_reasoning_end.
  • tests/reasoning/test_poolside_v1_reasoning_parser.py: force-open non-stream + streaming without thinking kwargs; scoped is_reasoning_end; fail-loud on missing <assistant> token.

Test plan

  • New unit tests for force-open extract (non-stream + stream) without thinking kwargs
  • Unit test that is_reasoning_end ignores a prior-turn </think>
  • On-box validation against a native aarch64/sm_121 source build of vLLM serving Laguna: stock path leaked; fixed parser splits reason...</think>answer -> reasoning=reason..., content=answer

Poolside Laguna emits chain-of-thought then a literal </think> with no
opening <think> (force-opened block). The poolside_v1 parser previously
subclassed DeepSeekV3ReasoningParser, which only installs the DeepSeek R1
force-open path when chat_template_kwargs.thinking/enable_thinking is
True and otherwise falls back to IdentityReasoningParser. That Identity
fallback leaked CoT and the bare close tag into content with an empty
reasoning channel.

Subclass DeepSeekR1ReasoningParser directly so force-open is always on,
and keep the assistant-turn-scoped is_reasoning_end walk so a stray
</think> in prior conversation history does not short-circuit streaming.

Adds unit tests covering force-open non-stream/stream without thinking
kwargs and the scoped is_reasoning_end behavior.
