[Bugfix][Multimodal] Honor modality-scoped mm_processor_kwargs in every model that reads them

[Hotragn]

Follow-up to #53808.

Background

#53808 taught get_merged_mm_kwargs to overlay HF-style nested
images_kwargs / videos_kwargs / audio_kwargs onto the flat namespace, and
threaded a modality argument through Qwen2-VL and Qwen3-VL. Its docstring
states the rule:

When modality is set, HF-style nested images_kwargs / videos_kwargs /
audio_kwargs are overlaid onto the flat namespace for vLLM-side reads
(token budgets, dummy inputs). Processor construction and HF __call__
should omit modality so the nested dicts still reach the HF processor.

Every model outside the Qwen family that predicts sizes or token counts from
those kwargs was left reading the flat namespace only. The HF processor honors
the nested dict in its __call__, so vLLM and the processor disagree about how
many tokens an item expands to.

Scope: every call site audited

Per review this now covers every multi-modal model, not just the VL three.
I enumerated every get_merged_mm_kwargs call site and classified each (40 when
this PR was opened, 44 on current main).

Fixed (vLLM-side reads)

model	site	modality
glm4_1v	_get_image_max_pixels, _get_video_max_pixels	static
ernie45_vl, keye, mimo_v2_omni	_get_vision_info, via get_num_{image,video}_tokens	threaded, as Qwen2-VL
cohere_compass	_get_vision_info, via get_num_image_tokens	threaded, as Qwen2-VL
transformers/multimodal	both _get_num_multimodal_tokens reads	image
cohere2_vision, idefics3, interns1	merged dict passed as HF's images_kwargs positional arg	image
lfm2_vl, mistral3, paddleocr_vl	flat reads of size / patch geometry	image
glm5next	_get_image_max_pixels, _get_video_max_pixels, inherited from glm4_1v	static

Two are worth calling out:

• mimo_v2_omni is the only one needing a new parameter; it is a copy of
  qwen2_vl.py with the modality plumbing stripped, so it gets the identical
  signature change and two call-site literals.

• cohere_compass landed on main after this PR was opened ([Model] Add Cohere Compass model #54774) with
  the same _get_vision_info shape as Ernie 4.5 VL and Keye, so it is folded in
  here rather than left for a second CI round. It is image-only, so only
  get_num_image_tokens threads modality.

• glm5next landed on main after this PR was opened, with its own copies
  of the GLM-4.1V _get_image_max_pixels / _get_video_max_pixels helpers. I
  first wrote these off as dead code because no call site names them. That was
  wrong: Glm5NextProcessingInfo subclasses Glm4vProcessingInfo and they
  are reached polymorphically, through the get_image_size_with_most_features
  the subclass inherits unchanged. See "Fixing the subclass break" below.

For cohere2_vision / idefics3 / interns1 the merged dict becomes HF's
third positional argument to get_number_of_image_patches(height, width, images_kwargs), which reads it flat (images_kwargs.get("min_patches", ...)). A nested dict arriving there is silently dropped.

Deliberately not changed

• Processor construction and the HF __call__ -- eagle2_5_vl, glm4v,
  h2ovl, internvl (x2), nemotron_vl (x2), nvlm_d, qianfan_ocr,
  skyworkr1v, moss_audio, llava_onevision2. The docstring requires these
  to keep passing the nested dicts through untouched.
• qwen2_5_omni_thinker looks like the block [Bugfix][Multimodal] Honor modality-scoped mm_processor_kwargs #53808 already fixed in
  qwen3_vl with modality="video", and I originally changed it. It must not
  be overlaid. It synthesizes a flat size, and unlike qwen3_vl -- which
  does mm_data.pop("videos") and gives videos their own processor call --
  Omni sends images and videos through one combined HF call. Overlaying a
  nested videos_kwargs makes the guard fire where main skips the block, so
  a flat size built from the video processor's defaults would be applied to
  the images too: strictly worse than main, where HF's own kwarg merging
  scopes the nested dict correctly. Caught in review; reverted, with a comment
  added recording why, since the next person auditing these sites would make
  the same mistake.
• gemma3_mm (x2) feeds the merged dict straight into HF's own
  _merge_kwargs, which routes flat vs nested itself and hands back
  ["images_kwargs"]. Already correct.
• gemma4_mm (x3) and gemma4_unified already hand-roll the nested
  lookup in _get_max_soft_tokens, so there is no defect. Adding the overlay
  would actively break gemma4_mm.py:585: that call uses the helper's second
  return value to distinguish a top-level override from a nested one, and the
  answer is consumed at :732 to decide whether to re-inject the value as a
  top-level kwarg into the HF call. Flattening first would flip that
  decision.

No behavior change without nested kwargs

overlay_modality_mm_kwargs returns its input unchanged when the scoped key is
absent or is not a mapping, so passing modality is a no-op for every existing
configuration. It only starts mattering once a user supplies nested
mm_processor_kwargs, which today these reads silently drop. That is also why
I have not run a model eval: with no nested mm_processor_kwargs the merged
dict is byte-identical before and after.

Reachability

mm_processor_kwargs is a public knob, settable per-server
(--mm-processor-kwargs) and per-request. HF's own processor kwargs are
documented in the nested form, so {"videos_kwargs": {"max_pixels": N}} is the
shape a user copying from transformers docs will write. The HF processor
honors it; vLLM's budget read does not.

Tests

Two model families, both CPU-only, so I ran them end to end on a CPU runner on
my fork.

1. tests/models/multimodal/processing/test_glm4_1v.py::test_videos_kwargs_max_pixels_does_not_leak_into_image_budget
   probes the budgets vLLM computes three times: no kwargs, scoped
   videos_kwargs.max_pixels, flat max_pixels. It pins the two properties
   that make the scoping correct rather than merely different: a scoped video
   override must not move the image budget, and a flat max_pixels must
   still apply to both modalities, preserving the shared-namespace behavior.

2. tests/models/multimodal/processing/test_transformers_image.py::test_scoped_images_kwargs_reach_the_token_count
   covers the Transformers backend on llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-0.5b-ov-hf,
   comparing the per-image token count vLLM predicts under a flat vs a nested
   size override. It asserts up front that the override really moves the
   count, so the test cannot pass by coincidence.

The remaining models take the identical one-line change into the same helper,
and overlay_modality_mm_kwargs itself already has unit coverage in
tests/multimodal/test_processing.py (added by #53808).

Evidence (fork CI run 33432435285, against current main)

Run predates the qwen2_5_omni_thinker revert. That revert only removes a
modality= argument and adds a comment, and neither test touches that file, so
the results below still hold.

GLM-4.1V. On main the scoped override is simply dropped and the video
budget stays at GLM's stock 47,040,000 (the same number the existing
test_get_max_video_frames_matches_glm_resize case in this file uses):

>       assert scoped_video == _SCOPED_MAX_PIXELS
E       assert 47040000 == 469762048

1 failed, 16 deselected, 14 warnings in 13.78s

AFTER, whole file: 17 passed in 27.91s.

Transformers backend. On main the nested override is dropped, so vLLM
predicts the stock token count while the flat form gives the overridden one:

>       assert scoped == flat
E       assert [7329] == [2709]
E         At index 0 diff: 7329 != 2709

1 failed, 22 deselected, 14 warnings in 17.31s

AFTER, whole file: 3 failed, 19 passed, 1 xfailed in 58.64s. The 3 are
pre-existing and environmental, not a regression: all three are
google/gemma-3-4b-it, a gated repo my fork runner has no token for, and they
fail during config download before any vLLM code runs
(GatedRepoError: 401 ... Access to model google/gemma-3-4b-it is restricted).
Flagging them rather than hiding them.

Folded in: per-request mm_processor_kwargs in the Transformers backend

@claude pointed out that the Transformers backend discarded the per-request
kwargs entirely, so the modality scoping above only helped the config-level
ones. Both _get_num_multimodal_tokens reads called
get_merged_mm_kwargs({}, ...) and dropped the hf_processor_mm_kwargs
argument they were handed -- the same argument used to build the HF
processor two lines earlier. A request-level override therefore moved the
processor's output without moving the count vLLM predicts for it. Folded in
here rather than left as a follow-up.

Three pieces:

1. Both reads now merge the real hf_processor_mm_kwargs.
2. OffsetsMultiModalProcessor._get_num_patches_per_image did not receive them
   at all, so it takes them as a parameter and builds its processor with them,
   matching the count path.
3. The merged dict is filtered to what _get_num_multimodal_tokens accepts,
   the way call_hf_processor already filters before splatting the same kwargs
   into __call__. That helper is a sizing method, not __call__, so it does
   not take every processor override.

One trap worth recording. apply() folded its own add_special_tokens=False
into hf_processor_mm_kwargs, and that dict is what reaches the sizing helpers.
Some processors read every kwarg there as an image processor override --
Idefics3 merges them into its images_kwargs defaults -- so forwarding the flag
made every later __call__ fail with
merged_typed_dict.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'add_special_tokens'.
It now lives in a call-only dict. That flag belongs to __call__ alone; the
comment on it already said so.

Evidence (fork CI run 34000087312)

BEFORE is run against 6e70a6a25c, i.e. the rest of this PR without this
commit, so it isolates what this commit fixes. A request-level size override
leaves vLLM predicting the stock count:

>       assert _probe_num_image_tokens(None, request_kwargs) == flat
E       assert [7329] == [2709]

1 failed, 23 deselected, 14 warnings in 17.68s

AFTER, whole file: 3 failed, 20 passed, 1 xfailed.

Whole-file comparison, main vs this branch, so the add_special_tokens
interaction above cannot hide:

	failed	passed	xfailed
main	3	18	1
this branch	3	20	1

The 3 are byte-identical on both sides -- google/gemma-3-4b-it, a gated repo
my runner has no token for, failing at config download before any vLLM code
runs. The 2 extra passes are the two tests this PR adds.

The shared size bound stays unscoped

get_image_size_with_most_features is not scoped, in any of the four models
that have it here. Both review bots flagged the same site: that bound is the
pre-resize upper bound for the image budget, the video frame budget and the
dummy data alike, and smart_resize only rescales an input that already falls
outside [min_pixels, max_pixels]. Scoping it to image therefore let an
images_kwargs-only override shrink the profiled video budget, with nothing
downstream scaling it back up.

It is now read with no modality overlay, with a comment at each site recording
why. The per-item reads (get_num_image_tokens / get_num_video_tokens) stay
scoped and re-resize that bound with the cap for their own modality, so an
override still reaches the count it is meant for. This also keeps the four
models consistent with the reference implementation: #53808's own
qwen2_vl.get_image_size_with_most_features is called unchanged by
_get_max_video_frames / get_max_video_tokens.

Still pre-existing on main and still out of scope here: those two helpers take
their target frame dimensions from the image processor config rather than the
video one. In glm4_1v that mismatch needs no override at all, since
_get_image_max_pixels and _get_video_max_pixels already read two different
processor configs. Fixing it moves stock frame budgets, so unlike everything
else in this PR it is not a no-op without nested kwargs and wants per-model
validation on a GPU. Happy to do it as a follow-up covering the Qwen family too.

Evidence (fork CI run 34183531905, against current main)

BEFORE runs against the previous branch head, since modality scoping does not
exist on main at all. An image-only override drags the shared bound from
2184² down to 700², and the video frame budget inflates from 24 frames to 95:

>   assert (scoped["size_bound"], scoped["video_frames"]) == (
        stock["size_bound"],
        stock["video_frames"],
    )
E   assert ((700, 700), 95) == ((2184, 2184), 24)

1 failed, 17 deselected in 15.27s

AFTER, whole file: 18 passed in 28.40s. Whole-file comparison: main 0
failed / 16 passed, this branch 0 failed / 18 passed.

Fixing the subclass break pre-commit caught

The upstream pre-commit run on 40d876a4 failed, and it was a real regression
this PR introduced rather than a lint nit:

vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/multimodal.py:647: error: Signature of
"_get_image_max_pixels" incompatible with supertype
"vllm.model_executor.models.glm4_1v.Glm4vProcessingInfo"  [override]

Glm5NextProcessingInfo(Glm4vProcessingInfo) overrides _get_image_max_pixels
and _get_video_max_pixels, but inherits get_image_size_with_most_features
unchanged -- and this PR made that call
self._get_image_max_pixels(modality=None). So the break is not only a typing
one: profiling a GLM-5-Next multimodal model raises
TypeError: Glm5NextProcessingInfo._get_image_max_pixels() got an unexpected keyword argument 'modality'.

The override now takes the same signature and forwards it, the video read is
scoped to "video", and the shared bound is untouched -- identical to
glm4_1v.

mypy only reports a break when the signature changes, so I also swept every
subclass of every processing-info class this PR touches:

subclass	base	overrides anything this PR changed?
Glm5NextProcessingInfo	Glm4vProcessingInfo	yes -- fixed here
KeyeVL1_5ProcessingInfo	KeyeProcessingInfo	no
SmolVLMProcessingInfo	Idefics3ProcessingInfo	no
LightOnOCRProcessingInfo	Mistral3ProcessingInfo	no

The other three inherit the change unchanged.

Evidence

The TypeError was reproduced on fork CI run 34521803748, with BEFORE pinned to
40d876a4 (the previous head of this branch) so that it isolates exactly this
commit:

E       TypeError: Glm5NextProcessingInfo._get_image_max_pixels() got an
        unexpected keyword argument 'modality'

That reproduction used a small regression test, which I have since removed at
@DarkLight1337's request: the [override] error pre-commit's mypy reports is
the same signal, so the test only duplicated a check CI already runs. Whole-file
comparison on tests/models/multimodal/processing/test_glm4_1v.py is therefore
unchanged from the section above -- main 0 failed / 16 passed, this branch 0
failed / 18 passed.

Lint

ruff check, ruff format --diff, typos and the SPDX hook pass on all
changed files. Upstream pre-commit, including the full-tree mypy run that
caught the glm5next override, is green on the current head.

Not a duplicate

Searched open PRs for get_merged_mm_kwargs in:body,
overlay_modality_mm_kwargs in:body, _get_video_max_pixels in:body,
videos_kwargs in:body, images_kwargs in:body,
_get_num_multimodal_tokens in:body, get_number_of_image_patches in:body and
_get_vision_info in:body. Nothing else fixes this.

One overlap to flag: #47876 (open, "Fix video temporal padding token
estimates") also edits glm4_1v.py, keye.py and mimo_v2_omni.py. It is a
different defect -- the temporal_patch_size rounding inside _get_vision_info
-- and touches different lines than the get_merged_mm_kwargs call and
signature, but the two will sit in the same functions. Whichever lands first,
I am happy to rebase.

Done — widened to every multi-modal model. I enumerated all 40 get_merged_mm_kwargs call sites and classified each one; the PR body has the full table. Summary:

Now fixed (vLLM-side reads that predict sizes or token counts):
glm4_1v, ernie45_vl, keye, mimo_v2_omni, qwen2_5_omni_thinker, transformers/multimodal (both reads), cohere2_vision, idefics3, interns1, lfm2_vl, mistral3, paddleocr_vl.

Two worth your attention:

• qwen2_5_omni_thinker is the same video size synthesis block [Bugfix][Multimodal] Honor modality-scoped mm_processor_kwargs #53808 already fixed in qwen3_vl.py:1371 with modality="video". It sits inside _call_hf_processor, which makes it look HF-bound, but the merged dict is not what reaches HF — hf_processor_mm_kwargs is — so it is a vLLM-side read.
• cohere2_vision / idefics3 / interns1 pass the merged dict as HF's third positional argument to get_number_of_image_patches(height, width, images_kwargs), which reads it flat. A nested dict arriving there is silently dropped.

Deliberately left alone, with reasons:

• Processor construction and the HF __call__ (eagle2_5_vl, glm4v, h2ovl, internvl ×2, nemotron_vl ×2, nvlm_d, qianfan_ocr, skyworkr1v, moss_audio, llava_onevision2) must keep passing the nested dicts through, per the docstring.
• gemma3_mm (×2) feeds the merged dict into HF's own _merge_kwargs, which routes nested keys itself.
• gemma4_mm (×3) and gemma4_unified already hand-roll the nested lookup in _get_max_soft_tokens, so there is no defect there. Adding the overlay would actively break gemma4_mm.py:585: that call uses the helper's second return value to distinguish a top-level override from a nested one, and the answer is consumed at :732 to decide whether to re-inject the value as a top-level kwarg into the HF call. Flattening first flips that decision.

Tests. Two model families, both CPU-only, run end to end on a CPU runner on my fork (run 33432435285). GLM-4.1V BEFORE assert 47040000 == 469762048; Transformers backend BEFORE assert [7329] == [2709] on the predicted per-image token count. Both green after. Three whole-file failures in the transformers suite are google/gemma-3-4b-it gated-repo 401s on my runner, failing at config download before any vLLM code runs — noted in the body rather than hidden.

One overlap to flag: #47876 (open) also edits glm4_1v.py, keye.py and mimo_v2_omni.py, for the temporal_patch_size rounding inside the same _get_vision_info functions. Different defect, different lines, but same functions — happy to rebase behind whichever lands first.

Also worth knowing while you are in here: transformers/multimodal.py:514 and :782 both pass {} to get_merged_mm_kwargs and ignore the in-scope hf_processor_mm_kwargs, so request-level processor kwargs never reach those reads at all. That is a separate pre-existing bug and I have not touched it — say the word if you want it in this PR or a follow-up.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked keye.py's get_image_size_with_most_features (now hard-coded to modality="image") since its target width/height are also reused as the base dims for the video frame budget (_get_max_video_frames, get_max_video_tokens) — ruled out: before this diff that call had no modality overlay at all (flat namespace only), so reusing an "image" helper as the video budget's base size is a pre-existing design choice, not something this PR changed or broke.

Extended reasoning...

This run's confirmed finding is a new inline comment (transformers/multimodal.py:514) not previously raised, so a review body noting the additional area I checked and ruled out is warranted. I re-verified against git diff 85c1365bd9711bde5484a3de7d7b2eaa44a03868 HEAD -- vllm/model_executor/models/keye.py: the pre-diff code called _get_vision_info from get_image_size_with_most_features with no modality argument at all, so it already fed the flat/shared namespace into both the image-max-tokens path and the video-frame-budget path that reuses the same helper. The diff only adds modality="image" to that specific call, which affects behavior only when a caller sets a nested images_kwargs override — and since the helper is explicitly computing the "largest image" dimensions (matching its name and its use for get_max_image_tokens), scoping it to "image" is consistent with intent, not a new leak into video sizing that didn't already exist structurally before. I also confirmed the previously-raised concern about qwen2_5_omni_thinker.py (threading modality="video" into the combined image+video HF call) was addressed by the later commit 6e70a6a25c24, which reverted the modality= argument there and added an explanatory comment — matching the PR description's account of that revert.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

Does urllib.request HTTPRedirectHandler forward the Authorization header to the redirect target?

💡 Result:

Yes, by default, the urllib.request HTTPRedirectHandler forwards the Authorization header to the redirect target if it was added using the standard Request.add_header method [1][2]. This behavior occurs because headers added with Request.add_header are treated as part of the request's persistent headers and are automatically reapplied to subsequent requests when the HTTPRedirectHandler follows a redirect [1][2]. This has historically been a point of concern regarding potential security risks, such as leaking sensitive credentials to third-party domains if a request is redirected across different origins [3][1][4]. To prevent a header from being forwarded during an automatic redirect, you must use the Request.add_unredirected_header method instead [5][2]. Headers added via this method are explicitly designated to be sent only with the initial request and are excluded from any subsequent redirected requests [5]. For example, to securely add an Authorization token, you should use: request.add_unredirected_header('Authorization', 'Bearer <your_token>') Using add_header will cause the token to be sent to the redirect target, which may not be the intended behavior for sensitive credentials [5][1].

site:docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html HTTPRedirectHandler Authorization header redirect Request

💡 Result:

In Python's urllib.request module, the HTTPRedirectHandler is responsible for handling HTTP redirection codes (301, 302, 303, 307, and 308) [1]. When a redirection occurs, the redirect_request method creates a new Request object for the new URL [1]. By design, the default implementation of redirect_request in HTTPRedirectHandler does not automatically carry over sensitive authentication headers, such as the Authorization header, to the redirected request. This behavior is a standard security precaution intended to prevent the inadvertent leakage of credentials to third-party domains or different servers that may be specified in a redirection response. If your application requires that the Authorization header be included in the redirected request, you must subclass HTTPRedirectHandler and override the redirect_request method to explicitly add the header to the new Request object. Example of how to customize this behavior: import urllib.request class AuthRedirectHandler(urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler): def redirect_request(self, req, fp, code, msg, hdrs, newurl): new_req = super.redirect_request(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs, newurl) if new_req is not None: # Re-add the Authorization header if it existed in the original request if req.has_header('Authorization'): new_req.add_header('Authorization', req.get_header('Authorization')) return new_req # Use the custom handler with your opener opener = urllib.request.build_opener(AuthRedirectHandler) urllib.request.install_opener(opener)

Restrict credentialed requests to HTTPS and disable redirects.

HTTPRedirectHandler copies regular request headers, including Authorization, to the redirected request. This behavior applies to the urllib.request implementation used by the CI helper. Validate ENDPOINT and BUILDKITE_AGENT_ENDPOINT as HTTPS URLs, and use a no-redirect opener in _oidc_token and export_spans.

+            raise RuntimeError("CI timing endpoint returned a redirect")
+
+    return urllib.request.build_opener(_NoRedirect)

Exclude the shim by canonical path before selecting pytest.

When PATH retains the shim directory but CI_INFRA_OTEL_SHIM_PATHS is absent, the scan selects the pytest symlink to ci_pytest.sh. Line 38 or line 42 then executes this script again and can loop indefinitely. Compare the canonical candidate path with the canonical $0 path before accepting it, so symlinked invocations are excluded.

Inject the failing interpreter during the flush

ci_otel.sh caches _CI_INFRA_OTEL_PYTHON when sourced and uses it for the exit-trap flush. The current PATH change occurs afterward, so the test uses the interpreter selected from the original PATH, not fake_bin/python3.

Set PATH before sourcing, and let the fake interpreter succeed for the import check. Otherwise, sourcing exits before it installs the flush trap.

[Hotragn]

Rebased onto 869f78732b; the conflict is gone and the PR is mergeable again.

What actually conflicted

A commit on this branch had accidentally staged eight files that already exist upstream — .buildkite/scripts/ci-otel/{ci_otel.py,ci_otel.sh,ci_pytest.sh,tests/test_ci_otel.py}, .buildkite/intel_jobs/entrypoints_intel.yaml, and .agents/skills/{ci-fails-buildkite,triton-kernel-writing}/…. They were re-added as if new, which is what produced the merge conflict, what pulled the ci/build and intel-gpu labels onto this PR, and what the last automated review round was reviewing.

They are gone. The diff is back to the intended 15 files, +263/−34, entirely under vllm/model_executor/models/ and tests/models/multimodal/processing/. Apologies for the noise — nothing in .buildkite/ or .agents/ was ever meant to be part of this change.

Round-4 finding accepted

@claude was right that scoping get_image_size_with_most_features to modality="image" was wrong. That bound is the pre-resize upper bound for the image budget, the video frame budget and the dummy data alike, and smart_resize only rescales an input that already falls outside [min_pixels, max_pixels] — so an images_kwargs-only override silently shrank the profiled video budget and the video path never scaled it back up.

It is now read with no modality overlay in glm4_1v, ernie45_vl, keye and mimo_v2_omni, with a comment at each site saying why. The per-item reads (get_num_image_tokens / get_num_video_tokens) stay scoped and re-resize that bound with the cap for their own modality, so an override still reaches the count it is meant for.

This also settles the CodeRabbit finding from the previous round, which was the same site seen from the other direction.

Evidence

Fork CPU runner 34183531905, re-run after the rebase so the numbers are against current main.

BEFORE runs the new test against the previous branch head (modality scoping does not exist on main at all, so main is not a useful baseline here). An image-only override drags the shared bound down from 2184² to 700², and the video frame budget inflates from 24 to 95 frames to compensate:

    # The override reaches the per-item image read it is meant for.
    assert stock["image_max_pixels"] != _SMALL_MAX_PIXELS
    assert scoped["image_max_pixels"] == _SMALL_MAX_PIXELS

    # It must not reach the bound that video sizing and dummy data share.
>   assert (scoped["size_bound"], scoped["video_frames"]) == (
        stock["size_bound"],
        stock["video_frames"],
    )
E   assert ((700, 700), 95) == ((2184, 2184), 24)

1 failed, 17 deselected in 15.27s

AFTER, whole file: 18 passed in 28.40s.

Whole-file comparison so nothing hides:

	failed	passed
main	0	16
this branch	0	18

The 2 extra passes are the two tests added here.

The earlier evidence for the rest of the PR still stands — the rebase changed no source line, and I diffed the pre- and post-rebase patches to confirm the content changes are byte-identical.

@claude review

[claude]

I reviewed the latest commits and found no new bugs. The two issues raised in earlier rounds of this review — the Transformers backend dropping per-request mm_processor_kwargs from its token-count reads, and qwen2_5_omni_thinker overlaying a nested videos_kwargs into a flat size shared with images — both appear fixed in the newest commits, each with a regression test (test_request_mm_processor_kwargs_reach_the_token_count, and the reverted modality=video call with an explanatory comment). Given the size and reach of this change (12 model files plus the generic Transformers backend, all touching token/patch-count computation), a human review is still worthwhile before merge.

What was reviewed: the transformers/multimodal.py diff, confirming hf_processor_mm_kwargs (not {}) now flows into both _get_num_multimodal_tokens call sites and the new _num_multimodal_tokens_kwargs filter; the qwen2_5_omni_thinker.py revert and its new comment explaining why nested videos_kwargs must stay unscoped there; the glm4_1v.py/ernie45_vl.py/mimo_v2_omni.py "unscoped on purpose" comments guarding get_image_size_with_most_features/dummy-data pixel bounds; and the new test_glm4_1v.py/test_transformers_image.py regression tests. Also checked whether _num_multimodal_tokens_kwargs's filtering in transformers/multimodal.py could collide with the explicit image_sizes= keyword if a user's merged kwargs happened to contain that key — ruled out as a pre-existing risk not worsened by this diff.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR threads a modality parameter through the internal vision-info/token-count helpers of twelve multimodal model processors plus the generic Transformers backend, so that HF-style nested images_kwargs/videos_kwargs overrides (already honored by the underlying HF processor) are also visible to vLLM's own placeholder-token/patch-count computations. It is a follow-up to an earlier PR (#53808) that introduced the same overlay mechanism for Qwen2-VL/Qwen3-VL. This is the fourth pushed version reviewed by this bot; the latest four commits specifically address feedback from prior rounds (this bot's own inline findings, and a coderabbitai review) plus fold in a fix for per-request kwargs in the Transformers backend that was raised in review comments.

Security risks

None identified. This is a correctness fix in token/patch-count budgeting logic that only changes behavior when a caller supplies nested mm_processor_kwargs (the overlay function is a no-op otherwise, per the PR description and the overlay_modality_mm_kwargs contract from the prior PR). There is no new external input parsing, auth, or memory-safety surface; worst case of a residual bug here is a token-count/HF-output mismatch (functional bug), not a security exposure.

Level of scrutiny

This warrants a fairly high level of scrutiny given its breadth (12 model files + shared backend code, several with subtle "must stay unscoped" exceptions that are easy to get backward), but the diff itself is mechanical and repetitive across models, and the two substantive defects raised across earlier review rounds have each been fixed with a comment explaining the rationale and a dedicated regression test. No reviewer (human or bot) has an outstanding CHANGES_REQUESTED review on the current state, and the DarkLight1337 comments in the timeline are informational (COMMENTED), not blocking.

Other factors

Test coverage is solid for a change of this shape: new tests pin the two invariants that matter (a scoped video/image override must not leak into the other modality's or the shared dummy-data bound, and a flat override must still apply to both), and the Transformers-backend test explicitly asserts the override moves the count before checking scoped/flat parity, guarding against a vacuously-passing test. Given the complexity and number of models touched, and that this is the fourth iteration with incremental fixes, a human sign-off (per AGENTS.md's accountability requirement for AI-assisted PRs) remains appropriate before merge.

pre-commit is green again. The failure was a real regression this PR introduced, not a lint nit, so it is worth spelling out.

vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/multimodal.py:647: error: Signature of "_get_image_max_pixels"
incompatible with supertype "vllm.model_executor.models.glm4_1v.Glm4vProcessingInfo"  [override]

Glm5NextProcessingInfo subclasses Glm4vProcessingInfo and overrides _get_image_max_pixels / _get_video_max_pixels, but inherits get_image_size_with_most_features unchanged — and this PR made that call self._get_image_max_pixels(modality=None). So it is a runtime break, not only a typing one: profiling a GLM-5-Next multimodal model would raise TypeError: Glm5NextProcessingInfo._get_image_max_pixels() got an unexpected keyword argument 'modality'.

I had written those two methods off in the PR body as dead code, on the grounds that no call site names them. That was wrong — they are reached polymorphically through the base class. Corrected in the body, and the override now takes the same signature and forwards it, with the video read scoped to "video" and the shared bound left unscoped, exactly as in glm4_1v.

mypy only flags a subclass when the signature changes, so I also swept every subclass of the processing-info classes this PR touches:

subclass	base	overrides anything this PR changed?
Glm5NextProcessingInfo	Glm4vProcessingInfo	yes — fixed here
KeyeVL1_5ProcessingInfo	KeyeProcessingInfo	no
SmolVLMProcessingInfo	Idefics3ProcessingInfo	no
LightOnOCRProcessingInfo	Mistral3ProcessingInfo	no

The other three inherit the change unchanged.

Evidence (fork CI run 34521803748). BEFORE runs against 40d876a4, the previous head of this branch, so it isolates this commit alone:

>       assert cls._get_image_max_pixels(info, modality=None) == _SCOPED_MAX_PIXELS
E       TypeError: Glm5NextProcessingInfo._get_image_max_pixels() got an unexpected keyword argument 'modality'

AFTER, whole file: 19 passed. Whole-file comparison of tests/models/multimodal/processing/test_glm4_1v.py: main 0 failed / 16 passed, this branch 0 failed / 19 passed. The regression test stubs ctx, so it downloads no checkpoint, and it pins the routing as well as the signature.

One note on the remaining red check: buildkite/intel-ci is failing on essentially every intel-gpu-labelled PR at the moment (#56246, #56245, #56224, #56223 among others) and it dies before any test step. This diff touches no Intel files — the label is left over from the stray-file episode I rebased away on 09-07.

Please remove this test, it's not helpful when pre-commit could catch the issue already

Removed in 0a511d46 -- you're right, the [override] error mypy reports on
Glm5NextProcessingInfo._get_image_max_pixels is the same signal, so the test
only duplicated a check pre-commit already runs on every PR. The unused
SimpleNamespace import went with it.

The source fix itself is unchanged: the override still takes
modality: str | None = "image" and forwards it, so the inherited
get_image_size_with_most_features call does not raise at profiling time.

I have updated the PR body so the evidence section no longer points at a test
that no longer exists.

Updated this branch locally (bc71a8a4c5) because Mergify could not do it itself.

The auto-rebase to keep merge candidate within 1 day behind main rule failed at
2026-09-11 19:31 UTC with:

For security reasons, Mergify can't update this pull request. Try updating locally.
GitHub response: refusing to allow a GitHub App to create or update workflow
.github/workflows/proto-crate.yml without workflows permission

So it is an app-permission limit triggered by a workflow file that landed upstream, not
a conflict on this branch — main merged into it cleanly. Worth knowing in case other
approved PRs show the same red check.

The merge is a pure update: diffing the +/- lines of the patch before and after it
is empty, and the file count is unchanged at 17.

While updating I re-ran the bundling check over the 93 commits that landed in between —
git log -S get_merged_mm_kwargs upstream/main is empty, so no new call site appeared
and there is nothing further to fold in.

---

Separately, on the sequencing in #56372 — I checked what this PR would owe that one, so
it is ready to go whenever you want it:

• No file overlap. [Bugfix][Multimodal] Fix Qwen3-VL modality-scoped mm_processor_kwargs handling (images_kwargs/videos_kwargs) #56372 touches qwen3_vl.py, multimodal/processing/context.py and
  two test files; this PR touches none of them.
• get_merged_mm_kwargs itself is unchanged there. The context.py hunk adds an opt-in
  mm_kwargs_are_merged keyword to call_hf_processor, defaulting to the current
  behaviour.
• That keyword only matters for a site that hands a pre-merged dict to
  call_hf_processor. None of the twelve sites here do — every one consumes the merged
  dict as a return value (pixel budget, patch count, token count), which is why the one
  site that did reach a combined HF call, qwen2_5_omni_thinker, is on this PR's
  deliberately-not-changed list.

So this should rebase to a no-op after #56372 lands. Happy to rebase and re-run once it
does — no need to hold anything on my account.
