fix(parse): recognise a bare DSML <invoke>, and stop an undecodable block swallowing the calls after it - #22
Conversation
Adds a test that reproduces a scenario where DSML closing tags appear immediately after a tool call opener, ensuring the parser correctly handles this edge case without misinterpreting the structure. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The test helper `parse_known` was called with a relative path that relied on a local import, but the import was not present in the test module. Using the fully qualified path ensures the function is resolved correctly regardless of the module's import state. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Replace the single large regression test that combined multiple DSML closing tag scenarios into one input with separate, independently labeled test cases. This makes failures easier to diagnose by isolating each scenario and printing its result individually, rather than requiring manual inspection of a combined output. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
… scenarios The repro_isolate test was replaced with repro_isolate2, which uses a shared DSML parameter closer variable and constructs test inputs programmatically with format! to reduce repetition. The new cases focus on edge combinations of tool_call openers, DSML parameter closers, and bogus name parameter lines, making the test more precise about the parsing behaviour being verified. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Removed a test function that was used only for manual inspection during development and would always panic, as it served no purpose in the test suite. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The bare `<invoke>` opener and `</invoke>` closer previously matched only the literal strings, so a prefixed form such as `<｜DSML｜ invoke>` or `<dsml:invoke>` was not recognised as a block opener and the call was silently dropped as prose. The named variant `<｜DSML｜invoke name="x">` already worked because it used a different parser path. This change introduces two new regular expressions that accept the same optional DSML marker or XML namespace prefix that the named form tolerates, and replaces the literal string matches with calls to those regexes. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Add a test that exercises several DSML invocation formats including bare invocations, named invocations, and a full observed emission to verify the parser handles the full-width solidus marker correctly. The test is written as a reproducer that panics to allow manual inspection of the parse results. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Renamed the test function to repro_check2 and replaced the existing test cases with three new ones that focus on the interaction between JSON payloads that include a name field and DSML invoke tags, ensuring the parser correctly handles both named and nameless JSON structures within DSML markup. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The `repro_check2` test was a temporary debugging aid that always called `panic!` at the end, making it impossible to run the test suite successfully. Removing it cleans up the test file and restores normal test execution. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
When a tagged block fails to decode, the error-recovery routine now ends the block at the next opening tag rather than consuming the remainder of the text. This prevents a single malformed block from swallowing subsequent well-formed calls, which previously caused the entire response to be parsed as prose. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
…overy Add two test cases for the tagged DSML parser. The first covers a DeepSeek turn that emits the invoke form without a name attribute, carrying the name in the JSON body instead, which was previously dropped as prose. The second verifies that an undecodable block does not swallow the call after it, fixing a bug where a corrupted tool_call would consume subsequent valid calls. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Two test assertions in the tagged parser test module were calling `parse_known` without the `super::` prefix, which would resolve to a local function if one existed rather than the intended module-level function. The change adds the explicit `super::` qualifier to ensure the correct function is invoked, making the test more robust against future additions of similarly named local helpers. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
…search Replace the complex regex-based matching for bare `<invoke>` tags with simple case-insensitive string searches, removing the `BARE_INVOKE_OPEN_RE`, `BARE_INVOKE_CLOSE_RE`, and `find_re` helper. The regex was over-engineered for what is now a straightforward literal match, and the removal reduces code complexity and maintenance burden. Also revert the error-recovery logic to consume the remainder of the text when a block fails to decode, as the previous approach of stopping at the next opener could cause subsequent well-formed calls to be lost. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The tagged parser previously only matched the literal strings `<invoke>` and `</invoke>` for attribute-less invoke blocks, causing any prefixed variant — such as `<｜DSML｜ invoke>` or `<dsml:invoke>` — to be treated as prose and dropped. This change introduces regex-based open and close matchers that accept the same optional DeepSeek DSML marker or XML namespace prefix already supported by the named invoke form, so that bare invoke blocks with a prefix are correctly recognised and parsed.

When a complete named invoke follows the leading JSON before the bare invoke's closer, this branch returns None even if that matching closer is already buffered. In StreamScrubber, an accepted sequence such as <invoke>{...}<atem:invoke name="shell">...</atem:invoke></invoke> therefore remains pending forever and neither call is emitted until flush(), although batch parsing returns both. Treat the validated JSON boundary as a completed first block in stream mode so scanning can continue at the named successor.

For a fenced call whose JSON argument contains namespaced closing-tag text, such as `````invoke\n{"name":"echo","arguments":{"text":"literal </atem:invoke> marker"}}\n``` ``, this newly broadened search selects the string content before the actual closing fence. The body is then truncated and the valid call is dropped or misrecovered, while the remainder leaks into narrative; locate invoke closers only outside the leading JSON value, as the bare-invoke path already attempts to do.

Ignore invoke closers inside fenced JSON values
This now treats every namespaced or DSML </...invoke> match as a fence terminator, including text inside a JSON string. For example, a fenced call whose argument is {"text":"</atem:invoke>"} is truncated at that string and will no longer decode as one call. The matching bare-invoke path already skips a complete JSON value before searching for a closer; apply equivalent protection when finding a closer inside a fence.

Recover after complete JSON arrays too
find_json_end only recognizes an object beginning with {, so a malformed tagged block whose complete body is a JSON array cannot establish a recovery boundary. A valid tool-call opener following that array is swallowed into the malformed block and never parsed. Use a JSON-end helper that accepts both object and array roots before scanning for later openers.
Additional critique observation
Recover after complete JSON arrays
[RULE] incomplete-recovery-boundary
find_json_end only recognizes an object beginning with {, so this recovery path still returns None when the malformed block contains a complete array such as [ {"arguments": {}} ] before a valid successor opener. recovery_boundary then falls back to text.len() and the later call is swallowed with the malformed block, leaving the parser unable to recover a valid call that follows an array-shaped body. Use a JSON-end helper that accepts both object and array roots here (and in the related closer matching path).

Recover after complete JSON arrays too
recovery_boundary relies on find_json_end, which only recognizes object-shaped JSON. When an undecodable tagged block contains a complete JSON array followed by a valid tool-call opener, this returns no boundary and the block still runs to the end of the response, swallowing the later call. Use a JSON-end helper that also accepts arrays before scanning for the next opener.

Named invoke successor logic prevents bare invoke from producing a call
The test a_named_invoke_precedes_a_later_bare_invoke_closer expects two calls: one from the bare <invoke> and one from the following <atem:invoke name="shell">. However, invoke_close returns None when a named successor is found before the closing </invoke>. With no closer, probe_decided treats the bare invoke as an unterminated block and marks it Verbatim, which becomes narrative text rather than a decoded call. The scan then finds only the named invoke and produces a single call, causing the assert_eq!(2, ...) to fail. Either the invoke_close logic should not suppress the closer when the body decodes to a valid call, or the test expectation is wrong.

Why
A
deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flashturn emitted two tool calls and both were dropped as prose. The agent had finished its research, was writing its deliverable, and the file was never created; the turn ended reporting the work as still to do.Reported as tinyhumansai/tinyagents#204. The bug is here, in the
taggedgrammar.Verbatim from the wire (fullwidth bars as sent):
Two defects, independent, both in
parse/grammar/tagged.rs.1. A bare
<invoke>with a DSML prefix opened no blocknext_openermatched the bare invoke with a literalfind_ci(text, "<invoke>"), and closed it with a literal"</invoke>". So<｜DSML｜ invoke>— the invoke form emitted without anameattribute, carrying the name in the JSON body — was invisible to the grammar.Both halves of that accommodation already existed separately:
<｜DSML｜invoke name="shell">parses, viainvoke_xml, whosePREFIXaccepts the DSML marker;<invoke>(unprefixed, name in the body) parses, via this grammar.Only the combination was missed.
TAG_REimmediately above already accepts a DSML prefix ontool_call, so the grammar was inconsistent with itself.Fix.
BARE_INVOKE_OPEN_RE/BARE_INVOKE_CLOSE_RE, taking the same optional DSML-marker or XML-namespace prefixinvoke_xml::PREFIXdoes. Attributes are excluded deliberately:<invoke name="…">belongs toinvoke_xml, which reads the name off the tag, so this matches only the attribute-less form whose name can come from the body.2. A block that decoded to nothing swallowed the calls after it
With no closer found and no call recoverable from the body, the block was emitted as
Decoded::Verbatimspanning totext.len(). The scan never resumed, so anything after it was gone.Here the unterminated
<tool_call>body was{"arguments":{…}}with no name — correctly unrecoverable — and it buried the complete<｜DSML｜ invoke>that followed. Fixing (1) alone still left the whole response parsing as prose.Fix. The block ends at the next opener instead of at end-of-text.
next_openersearches frombody_start, strictly pastopener.start, so the scan always advances and cannot spin.What this does and does not recover
<invoke>, name in body<invoke>(control)shell)The
file_writecall stays unrecoverable, and should. Its name survived only inside<｜DSML｜ parameter name="name":"file_write"}— a corrupted<parameter name="name">envelope — and synthesising a tool name out of that is the guessing this module documents it will not do. What the fix buys is that a malformed call no longer takes its well-formed neighbours down with it.Tests
Two regression tests in
parse/test/tagged.rs:a_bare_dsml_invoke_carries_its_name_in_the_body— the failing shape, plus the spellings that already worked (<invoke>, ASCII bars, doubled bars, namespace prefix) so the prefix stays optional.an_undecodable_block_does_not_swallow_the_call_after_it— the verbatim emission, and a reduced version of the same shape so a reintroduction fails with less noise.Both were checked against the pre-fix source (
b47ccd1) and fail there (left: 0, right: 1). With the fix: 312 passed, 0 failed, clippy clean.Base
Branched from the vendored pin
b47ccd1, which is the pre-merge tip of #21; rebased ontomain, where that commit arrives as the merge. No squashing — the intermediate commits are the working history.Summary by CodeRabbit
