Key behaviours: - Early exit: if any requirement returns "fail" during streaming, generation is cancelled immediately via cancel_generation() and StreamChunkingResult.completed is set to False. - Final validation: after natural completion, validate() is called on all non-failed requirements. - Clone-per-call: requirements are cloned (copy(req)) before each invocation; originals are never mutated. - String aliases: "sentence", "word", "paragraph" map to the corresponding ChunkingStrategy subclasses. StreamChunkingResult exposes: - astream() — async iterator yielding individual validated chunks - acomplete() — await full completion including final validation - as_thunk — wrap full_text as a computed ModelOutputThunk - completed, full_text, final_validations, streaming_failures Re-exports StreamChunkingResult and stream_with_chunking from mellea.stdlib for day-to-day use.

Previously _orchestrate_streaming passed the full accumulated text to stream_validate, and called it once per batch of new chunks rather than once per chunk. This masked the design intent of the chunking strategy and forced stateful requirements into the self._seen_len workaround. Behaviour changes: - stream_validate is called once per complete chunk produced by the chunking strategy (not once per astream() iteration) - The call receives that single chunk (not the accumulated text) - Multiple chunks from one astream() iteration are validated in order; early exit on a "fail" prevents later chunks in the same batch from being validated or emitted - On early exit, the failing chunk is no longer emitted to the consumer; consumers inspect StreamChunkingResult.streaming_failures instead (previous behaviour emitted whatever the current batch contained) Test changes: - FailAfterWordsReq now maintains a running word count on self, since each stream_validate call sees a one-word chunk rather than the growing accumulation - New test_stream_validate_receives_individual_chunks asserts the per-chunk contract directly by capturing the cloned requirement and checking the chunks it saw Docstring updated to describe the per-chunk contract, the in-order validation of a batch, the non-emission of failing chunks, and the MOT single-consumer constraint.

Previously the orchestrator discarded it — it appeared in full_text and the final validate() saw it, but it was never yielded to astream() consumers and never seen by stream_validate. For a response that did not end in a chunk terminator (e.g. "Sentence one. Sentence two." with no trailing whitespace under SentenceChunker), the last sentence silently bypassed streaming validation. Adds ChunkingStrategy.flush(accumulated_text) -> list[str]: - Default in the ABC returns [] (backward-compatible — external chunkers retain the old discard behaviour until they opt in). - SentenceChunker, WordChunker, ParagraphChunker each override to return the withheld trailing fragment as a single-element list. _orchestrate_streaming calls chunking.flush(accumulated) after the main loop (only when the stream ended naturally, not on early exit — a cancelled stream's trailing fragment is by definition incomplete). Each flushed chunk goes through the same stream_validate / emit path as regular chunks, so the "no unvalidated content reaches the consumer" invariant extends to the trailing fragment, and a fail on the fragment still records a streaming failure and skips final validate(). Tests: - 13 new chunker tests covering the default-discard behaviour and each built-in's flush logic (empty input, fragment-present, already- terminated cases). - test_trailing_fragment_is_flushed_to_consumer: stream_validate sees the fragment and astream yields it. - test_early_exit_on_trailing_fragment: fail on the flushed fragment propagates to streaming_failures and skips final validation.

From def10b6f87ce30c2b14901b9ba99acb083df2d1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nigel Jones Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:23:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 10/24] fix(stdlib): address review feedback on streaming validation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Addresses issues raised by independent review on top of PR #942. Orchestrator (mellea/stdlib/streaming.py): - except Exception now calls mot.cancel_generation() before surfacing the exception to the consumer — previously the backend producer was left running, eventually blocking on mot._async_queue (maxsize=20). Cleanup failures are logged via MelleaLogger.warning with a TODO(#902) marker; #902 replaces the log with a proper ErrorEvent. - RuntimeError catch in the astream() loop now re-raises unless mot.is_computed() is true, so only the documented "already computed" race is swallowed. - astream() docstring now states the single-consumer contract explicitly; a second iteration blocks on an empty queue with no sentinel to deliver. - as_thunk docstring now flags the early-exit case: cancel_generation forces is_computed=True without running post_processing(), so generation.usage and related telemetry fields may be None. Chunker (mellea/stdlib/chunking.py): - SentenceChunker.flush switches from .strip() to .rstrip() with a comment explaining why: the loop's lstrip has already removed leading whitespace, and trailing whitespace on a sentence fragment is non-semantic (consistent with split() returning sentences without trailing whitespace). - ParagraphChunker.flush adds a docstring noting the deliberate asymmetry: paragraph fragments are returned byte-for-byte because internal whitespace (e.g. trailing \n of a list item) can be semantically meaningful. Tests (test/stdlib/test_streaming.py): - test_stream_validate_receives_individual_chunks now uses exact- match on the captured chunk list, which directly regresses if someone reverts to accumulated-text semantics. - test_multiple_chunks_in_one_batch_with_mid_batch_fail: response fed as one large token so split() yields 4 sentences at once; verifies chunk 1 emits, chunk 2 fails (not emitted), chunks 3 and 4 are neither validated nor emitted. - test_cancel_generation_invoked_on_fail: spies on ModelOutputThunk.cancel_generation and asserts it was called on the "fail" early-exit path. - test_exception_in_stream_validate_cancels_generation: a requirement that raises must cause cancel_generation to run and the exception to surface via astream()/acomplete() without hanging. Telemetry observability (orchestrator-level spans, metrics, span events) remains deferred to #902 per the epic, which now has the acceptance criteria updated to cover event emission, the OTEL bridge, and the ErrorEvent type that will replace the MelleaLogger stopgap.

When the orchestrator enters the except Exception path, it now passes the caught exception to cancel_generation() so the backend telemetry span records the real cause via set_span_error instead of a generic RuntimeError("Generation cancelled"). The original exception still surfaces to the consumer via astream()/acomplete(); this is purely an OTEL accuracy fix. Backward-compatible: the default None preserves the previous "Generation cancelled" message for the normal fail path. stream_with_chunking docstring — the "After the stream ends (naturally or via early exit), validate() is called" wording overstated behaviour. The orchestrator actually skips final validate() on early exit (test_early_exit_on_fail verifies final_validations == []). Docstring now correctly says final validate() runs only on natural completion. test_exception_in_stream_validate_cancels_generation docstring — the test fails on chunk 1 so the queue never actually fills; it verifies the cancel-on-exception path and the no-hang guarantee but does not directly prove the worst-case "producer blocked on full queue" scenario. Docstring now states what it actually covers and points at test/core/ for the cancel_generation drain logic.

Wires event emission into _orchestrate_streaming: - ChunkEvent emitted per chunk passed to the consumer - QuickCheckEvent after each stream_validate batch (pass or fail) - StreamingDoneEvent when the raw stream ends naturally - FullValidationEvent after the post-stream validate() calls complete - ErrorEvent replaces the MelleaLogger.warning stopgap in the except branch (removes TODO(#902) marker) - CompletedEvent in the finally block, guaranteed on every exit path Adds StreamChunkingResult.events() single-consumer async iterator backed by an independent queue — can be consumed concurrently with astream(). Wraps the orchestrator in trace_application("stream_with_chunking") to open an OTEL application span for the full orchestration lifetime. Calls record_requirement_check, record_requirement_failure, record_sampling_outcome, and record_error at the appropriate emission points. Uses set_span_error on early-exit fail and on unhandled exceptions. Exports all eight event types from mellea.stdlib.__init__.
