Description

Fixes #53227.

Streaming tool calls on DeepSeek-V4-Pro leak raw DSML markup into tool call arguments when using the deepseek_v4 tool call parser. This happens because _PARTIAL_PARAM_RE uses a greedy (.*)$ match that captures trailing DSML tags (like </|DSML|parameter) when they are only partially received or processed during streaming.

Changes

  • Updated _PARTIAL_PARAM_RE in vllm/parser/deepseek_v4.py to use a non-greedy match with a negative lookahead ((?:(?!</?{_ESCAPED_DSML}).)*). This ensures the parser stops capturing argument content as soon as it encounters the start of any DSML tag.

Testing

Verified with a standalone reproduction script that simulates partial streaming chunks:

raw = '<|DSML|parameter name="location" string="true">Paris</|DSML|parameter'
# Before: {"location": "Paris</|DSML|parameter"}
# After: {"location": "Paris"}

Confirmed that the fix correctly handles both complete and partial DSML tags without leaking markup into the argument JSON.
