fix(grpc): preserve oversized integer tool-call arguments digit-exact

[pallasathena92]

Description

Problem

process_tool_call_arguments parses each assistant tool call's arguments string into a JSON value before chat-template rendering. serde_json represents integers outside the i64/u64 range as f64, so an argument like {"id": 123456789012345678901234567890} silently re-renders as 1.2345678901234568e29. The model sees the corrupted spelling in its rendered history and echoes a wrong id back to the tool on the next call.

Solution

Pre-scan the arguments string with a minimal string-state lexer and wrap only the integer literals neither i64 nor u64 can hold in quotes, so they survive the parse digit-exact as JSON strings. The guard is deliberately narrow:

• in-range integers (up to u64::MAX / down to i64::MIN) stay native numbers — zero behavior change;
• float-shaped tokens (fraction or exponent) pass through untouched — f64 semantics are JSON-standard for those;
• digits inside string values are never touched (the lexer tracks in-string/escape state);
• non-canonical tokens (leading zeros, stray operators) are left alone so malformed input still fails in the parser, citing the original text.

Rendering such an argument quoted rather than bare is the accepted trade-off: values at that magnitude are invariably identifiers that must round-trip verbatim, and exact-but-quoted beats bare-but-corrupted.

Changes

• model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/utils/chat_utils.rs: add quote_unrepresentable_integers (Cow-returning pre-scan; borrows when no rewrite is needed) and is_canonical_json_integer; apply the guard in process_tool_call_arguments.

Test Plan

Six new unit tests in chat_utils:

• >u64::MAX positive and <i64::MIN negative integers survive digit-exact (top level and nested containers);
• u64::MAX, i64::MIN, ordinary ints, and floats stay native numbers;
• digit runs inside string values (including next to escaped quotes) are untouched;
• malformed arguments ({bad, [1-2], leading-zero integers) still error, citing the original text;
• untouched inputs take the Cow::Borrowed path.

cargo clippy -p smg --all-targets clean; cargo test -p smg --lib chat_utils 30/30.

Checklist

• Format your code: make fmt
• Run lint checks: targeted cargo clippy -p smg --all-targets -- -D warnings
• Add unit tests for new functionality
• Update documentation if needed (n/a — internal fix)

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved tool-call argument handling for very large integer values.
  • Preserves exact digits when integers exceed supported numeric ranges.
  • Maintains existing behavior for valid numbers, decimals, exponents, strings, and malformed JSON.
  • Improved handling of large integers in nested tool-call arguments without changing their intended values.
  • Added safeguards to avoid altering numeric-looking text or object keys.

Walkthrough

The tool-call argument parser preprocesses JSON to preserve exact digits for canonical integers outside the i64/u64 range. The scanner skips strings, preserves supported numeric forms, retains malformed-input behavior, and avoids allocation when no rewrite is needed.

Changes

Integer-preserving JSON parsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
JSON integer preprocessing model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/utils/chat_utils.rs	The scanner detects canonical integers outside the 64-bit range and quotes them. It skips string contents and returns borrowed input when no rewrite is needed.
Tool-call integration and tests model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/utils/chat_utils.rs	Tool-call parsing uses the preprocessed argument text while reporting errors against the original argument text. Tests cover large integers, nested values, supported numeric forms, malformed JSON, strings, object keys, and unchanged borrowed input.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 58955

This change preserves oversized integer values but may also turn malformed numeric object keys into valid JSON keys, altering tool-call validation behavior. Merge should wait for this bounded correctness risk to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

[claude]

Clean, well-tested fix. The lexer correctly handles string escaping, float-shaped tokens, canonical-form validation, and the zero-copy borrowed path. Test coverage is thorough across boundaries (u64::MAX, i64::MIN), nested containers, escaped-quote edge cases, and malformed input fallthrough. No issues found.

- Around line 185-206: The numeric-rewriting scan must not quote oversized
integer tokens used as object keys, since that can turn invalid JSON into valid
JSON. Update the JSON-position tracking around the numeric rewrite logic and
only rewrite tokens occurring where a JSON value is permitted, while preserving
rewriting for valid numeric values; extend
test_process_tool_call_arguments_invalid_json_still_errors with the oversized
object-key case.
