SGLang can return an HTTP-200 event whose meta_info.finish_reason.type is abort, including a rejected JSON schema with placeholder text and token counts. The adapter previously treated an unknown terminal reason as stop, exposing a failed generation as successful output.

Reject backend aborts and malformed/unknown terminal results before consuming their text or usage. Backend 400 rejections use the existing sanitized invalid_request contract; other backend failures remain inference errors. Apply the check to single-stream, multi-stream, buffered candidates (before best-of ranking), and the legacy result parser. Require all requested streaming candidates to complete and the exact buffered candidate count before returning success. Remove raw backend diagnostics from this parser's error logging.

Validation:

  • 130 adapter tests pass, including nullable-schema rejection with [] and 1/1 placeholder usage, all four candidate modes, malformed terminal metadata, unknown/error/cancelled terminal reasons, missing candidate indexes, and sanitized error messages.
  • Public workspace typecheck and scoped Ruff checks pass.
  • Adversarial review found related fail-open paths in missing metadata, failed candidates, and missing candidate indexes; all were fixed and re-reviewed with no remaining scoped findings.
  • No model inference or GPU validation was performed. This preserves backend rejection accurately; it does not claim broader schema support.

Sibling sweep: rg -n 'finish_reason.*stop|raw_finish|fr_type|raise_for_sglang_event_error' packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/adapters/sglang/generation.py covers all four consumers. Single and multi-stream events validate before text/usage; buffered candidates validate before ranking; the legacy parser requires an explicit successful terminal. Multi-candidate EOF requires all expected indexes to finish once; empty, short, oversized or incomplete candidate results fail closed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved multi-candidate streaming validation for invalid, duplicate, incomplete, or late candidate results.
    • Buffered responses now require exactly the requested number of candidates before processing.
    • Prevented premature success, terminal, or usage results when candidate generation is incomplete or malformed.
    • Standardized handling of unsupported finish reasons and malformed generation events.

Walkthrough

SGLang generation now validates streaming candidate indexes, terminal completion, buffered candidate counts, finish reasons, and malformed responses. Invalid results raise GenerationError before success, usage, ranking, or response assembly.

Changes

SGLang candidate validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Streaming candidate validation
packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/adapters/sglang/generation.py
Multi-candidate streams validate event metadata and reject invalid, duplicate, repeated, or incomplete candidate events. The adapter emits success only after all requested candidates reach terminal status.
Buffered and finish validation
packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/adapters/sglang/generation.py
Buffered responses must contain exactly the requested candidate count. Validated finish reasons propagate through generation and compatibility paths without unsupported fallbacks.
Regression coverage
packages/sie_server/tests/adapters/test_sglang_generation.py
Tests cover malformed events, grammar aborts, missing terminal metadata, invalid finish reasons, streaming candidate indexes, and buffered candidate cardinality.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0aca

Malformed backend metadata can crash generation handling or produce partial output before failing, so reject non-dictionary metadata consistently before merging.

Please include current head 2be0155f8ef1ff0eda201739e87fca1a0ed5d6e4. The follow-up rejects non-null finish_reason objects without a type ({} and {"type": null}), even without a finished flag, before any text or usage is consumed. All 119 adapter tests pass after the update.

@huronat: I will review the current head 2be0155f8ef1ff0eda201739e87fca1a0ed5d6e4. I will check that invalid non-null finish_reason objects are rejected before text or usage processing.

Use parameters that isolate each validation rule.

[0, 0] can fail the final len(completed_candidates) != return_count check even if the per-event duplicate check regresses. Change it to [0, 0, 1].

Keep [0, 2] for the out-of-range check. If range validation regresses, indexes 0 and 2 produce two distinct candidates and pass the final count check. [0, 1, 2] would not isolate this rule because three distinct candidates would fail that count check.

The buffered case (2, 1, 3) is invalid against both best_of=3 and n=1. An implementation that incorrectly checks n still raises. Use (1, 1, 3) to isolate best_of.

🟠 Major · Reject non-dictionary meta_info in the shared event validator.

packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/adapters/sglang/generation.py:167-169
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject non-dictionary meta_info in the shared event validator.

_raise_for_sglang_event_error treats non-dictionary meta_info as absent. In multi-candidate streaming, a truthy value reaches meta.get(...) and raises AttributeError. In _chunk_from_sglang_event, the read is guarded, but non-dictionary values are treated as absent, so malformed events can emit text and later complete successfully or fail after partial output. Buffered and compatibility paths already call the validator with terminal=True; the shared check closes the streaming gap and reports the malformed shape consistently. Existing tests cover dictionary-shaped metadata only.

 meta = event.get("meta_info")
+if meta is not None and not isinstance(meta, dict):
+    raise GenerationError("SGLang /generate returned malformed meta_info")
 finish = meta.get("finish_reason") if isinstance(meta, dict) else None

Add regression coverage for both truthy and falsey non-dictionary values.
