index of ec_items keyed by mm_hash, then look up each feature.identifier so
cache entries match regardless of ordering. Preserve inline processing when no
matching cache item exists, and add a reversed multi-image test covering the

- Around line 56-58: Update the request-processing flow around
convert::to_text_request so ec_transfer_params is removed whenever
do_remote_prefill is true, before any early return caused by missing media,
ec_items, or mm_features. Keep placeholder matching conditional on media and EC
items.

Match encoder-cache items by mm_hash, not by position.
zip only compares entries at the same index. If features are [image-1, image-2] and ec_items are [image-2, image-1], neither feature is matched. Both features then retain encoder inputs and are processed inline instead of using the encoder cache.
Index ec_items by mm_hash, then look up each feature.identifier. Add a reversed multi-image test.

This seems valid. Shall we index items by hash instead?

@BugenZhao Yes. Index ec_items by their string mm_hash, then look up each feature.identifier in that index.
This makes matching independent of item order. It also keeps unmatched features unchanged for inline processing. Add a multi-image test where ec_items uses the reverse feature order.

Fixed @BugenZhao, along with a small change to the added tests.

Can we consume metadata directly from ec_items instead of calling prepare_media() first? The producer already supplies mm_hash and model‑specific placeholder metadata like image_grid_thw, which should be authoritative for the generated embedding. If the Rust frontend can construct features and placeholder positions from this metadata, both P and D could skip downloading, decoding, and preprocessing media. The raw‑media path can remain as a fallback, and this would also prevent preprocessing mismatches between producer and consumer.

Hi @gty111, I agree that consuming metadata directly is the right approach instead of duplicating preprocessing, but I'd prefer to keep this PR focused to the two fixes we have so far: removing Could we keep this fix for now, and as a follow-up extend the Rust multimodal layer to accept metadata-only |
Replace the 9_007_199_254_740_991.0 literal with a named MAX_SAFE_INTEGER_F64 constant, and build the ec_proto_struct / decode_kv_proto_struct test fixtures with serde_json::json! plus the existing json_to_proto_struct helper instead of hand-assembled prost trees.

Yes, I agree that this does not fix the X problem, but we can definitely leave it for the future, as it may involve a larger scope. |

Purpose
Preserve model-specific multimodal metadata when the Rust frontend handles decode requests that consume prompt KV from remote prefill.
mm_hash.pixel_valueswhile retaining producer-advertised metadata such asimage_grid_thw.ec_transfer_paramsbefore EngineCore on remote-prefill decode so EngineCore consumes the transferred prompt KV without loading the encoder embedding again.No duplicate open PR was found. Existing open work covers caller-supplied preprocessed Rust gRPC features or metadata in the Python token-in/token-out protocol; neither applies encoder-cache metadata after raw-media preprocessing in the native Rust gRPC frontend.
