GLiNER2 entity, relation and structured extraction silently read only the first 512 words of a document: entities after that window are missing from the response with a 200 status (#450). Classification was fixed for this in #449, the other three paths were not.

All four task branches share one window built in GLiNER2Adapter.extract (adapter.py:281, forwarded as max_len at lines 307, 352 and 429). #449 (82cbf2e) added windowing and merge logic for the classification branch only.

The windowing is generalized and the extraction paths now run every window in one planned batch and merge the results, reusing the merge_window_spans helper from #449. Classification output is byte-identical to before. A test plants an entity at word 1420 of a 1500-word document: missing on main, extracted with the change.

Fixes #450

…y their first window

gliner2 reads at most max_seq_length words (512) of a document, so
entity, relation and structured extraction saw nothing after that
point. superlinked#449 fixed classification in the same adapter and superlinked#552 made an
overlong item fail with INPUT_TOO_LONG instead of coming back with a
partial result, but a caller still could not extract from a long
document at all.

Entity, relation and structured extraction now read a text longer than
one window as the same overlapping windows classification reads, and
merge the windows' results. Entities and relation endpoints move back
to document offsets and their text is re-read from the document, a span
cut at a window edge gives way when the window next to it read that
region whole, and the same span or relation keeps its highest score.
Structured extraction takes the first window that found a string field
and every window's list values. Input tokens are metered as the sum of
the windows. A text that fits one window is read exactly as before, and
a text taking more than 128 windows still comes back with the per-item
INPUT_TOO_LONG error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GLiNER2 entity, relation, and structured extraction now process overlapping windows. The adapter merges window results and returns per-item INPUT_TOO_LONG errors for inputs that exceed 128 windows or whose offsets cannot map to the original text.

Changes

Windowed extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plan and run extraction windows
packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/adapters/gliner2/adapter.py, packages/sie_server/tests/adapters/test_gliner2_complete_text.py, packages/sie_server/tests/adapters/test_gliner2_long_text.py
The adapter plans overlapping windows, processes eligible items, and meters tokens across windows. It returns per-item errors for items beyond the configured limit or with unmappable offsets. Tests cover window limits, error billing, and inputs that span windows.
Merge entity, relation, and structured results
packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/adapters/gliner2/adapter.py, packages/sie_server/tests/adapters/test_gliner2_long_text.py
Entity spans are mapped to document offsets and merged. Relations are resolved and deduplicated across windows. Structured fields combine values from window results. Tests cover all three extraction tasks beyond the first window.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e6503

Some long documents containing contextual case changes can bypass the planned extraction window bounds. Detect this fallback in every window before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e6503

Long-document processing increases the work a request can trigger, while processing limits and per-item rejection remain. No introduced security defect was confirmed. Effective shared-capacity limits and downstream behavior were not fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller permitted to submit extraction can now trigger up to 128 inference rows per accepted item. Any contention affects capacity serving the same worker; cross-tenant or wider environmental exposure cannot be established without deployment and identity configuration.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The plausible security exposure is shared-capacity pressure from long documents, not newly granted data or credential authority. Item-based admission does not directly count expanded windows, but character-based batch sizing and bounded execution are meaningful controls. The inspected evidence does not establish an admission bypass or a confirmed denial-of-service vulnerability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Input decoding checks text plus metadata against a configurable byte limit, defaulting to 2 MiB. Extraction additionally checks prompt size, limits document windows, and uses bounded splitting and attention-aware forward grouping. These are processing controls, not evidence of authentication or tenant isolation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Rejected plans do not consume result positions belonging to accepted siblings. Forward grouping restores outputs by original row index and checks cardinality, supporting item ownership despite reordered execution.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — For deployments sharing extraction capacity across callers, consider admission or fairness budgets weighted by planned window work rather than item count alone. This is a capacity-hardening proposal, not an observed security defect.

Reject contextual fallback from every extraction window.

_read_from starts with a 16,384-character suffix slice and grows it. When a later slice reaches the end of source, _read receives the complete remaining suffix. If that suffix has a same-length contextual-lowercase prefix mismatch, _read returns the full suffix.

The first window can remain bounded because _windows starts it from the document beginning. The later suffix can then be accepted by _run_whole, which sends its full text to _run_planned while its offsets and metering still describe a bounded window. Track the fallback result for every _read_from call and reject only multi-window extraction. Preserve the existing single-window path.

Suggested fix
-            if len(plan[2]) > 1 and len(source) != len(text):
+            if len(plan[2]) > 1 and (len(source) != len(text) or plan.used_fallback):

Make _windows propagate used_fallback from the initial first read and from every _read_from(source, start) result. Set it only when _read takes the contextual-prefix fallback branch at lines 1235-1237. Keep the existing three-window values unchanged for merging and classification.

for relation and structured extraction the GPU memory limit is skipped, so one long document runs all its windows in a single pass (I confirmed this in the code). Three more bugs:

  • A document whose last entity gets gliner2’s appended “.” makes _normalize_entity_span raise and fails the whole batch.
  • Structured values from windows after the first come back lowercased.
  • Overlapping entities are removed across labels, unlike gliner2.
