What this changes

Hardens the VS Code Language Model provider (notably GitHub Copilot serving Anthropic Claude) against three failure modes.

1. Surrogate sanitization

A lone UTF-16 surrogate cannot be encoded as UTF-8, so the backend rejects the entire request with a 400. sanitizeSurrogates() replaces unpaired surrogates with U+FFFD while preserving valid pairs (emoji, CJK ext.). Applied to string messages, tool results, and text parts.

2. Leaked tool-call recovery (wrapped markup only)

Some backends stream a tool call as raw function-call XML instead of emitting a structured LanguageModelToolCallPart, leaving the turn with no tool_use block and stalling the task in a "no tools used" retry loop. extractLeakedToolCalls() and trailingPartialToolMarkerLength() detect the markup mid-stream (including markers split across chunk boundaries) and replay it as a real tool call.

Scope is deliberately narrow, and the following bounds are part of the design rather than gaps to be closed later:

  • Only wrapped markup is recovered. An <invoke> is recoverable only inside an open <function_calls> wrapper. A bare, unwrapped <invoke> is deliberately passed through as text and is not recovered.
  • Only offered tools. The <invoke> name must match a tool actually offered that turn, and only when tools were offered at all.
  • The wrapper is a heuristic, not a security boundary. It reduces false positives on markup the model merely quotes; it is not an authentication or trust mechanism and should not be relied on as one.
  • Recovered parameters are converted using the tool's declared top-level parameter schema (array/object/number/integer/boolean, plus nullable unions). This is a narrow top-level conversion, not full JSON Schema validation: nested shapes are not validated, and a value that fails to parse or does not match its declared type fails closed, leaving the text unrecovered.

3. Window-safe tool_result truncation

Copilot's backend trims over-window requests without preserving tool_use/tool_result pairing, orphaning a tool_result and causing a 400 (unexpected tool_use_id). truncateToolResultsToFitWindow() and middleOutTruncate() shrink oversized tool_result payloads on our side (largest first, middle-out, pairing preserved) before sending.

The budget guard is approximate and does not guarantee a token-accurate fit. It is a character-based estimate (VSCODE_LM_BUDGET_CHARS_PER_TOKEN = 3, VSCODE_LM_INPUT_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.8), chosen because a real tokenizer pass would have to run over every message on every turn. Because each tool_result retains MIN_TOOL_RESULT_CHARS, a conversation dominated by non-tool_result content can remain over budget after trimming; that case now surfaces an explicit, actionable error instead of silently sending an oversized request.

Adaptations made during the port

  • vscode-lm-format.ts had diverged from upstream, so insertion points were re-derived against the local structure.
  • Log strings rebranded to "Zoo Code".
  • The upstream PR's TEMP console.warn diagnostics (Task.ts, multi-search-replace.ts, ApplyDiffTool.ts) and its version bump were deliberately excluded.

Files changed

Source and tests only:

  • src/api/transform/vscode-lm-format.ts
  • src/api/providers/vscode-lm.ts
  • src/api/transform/__tests__/vscode-lm-format.spec.ts
  • src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts

No changeset file is included, and no build/tooling configuration is modified.

Verification

Validation was re-run under the repository's pinned toolchain (Node 22.23.1, pnpm 10.8.1, Vitest 4.1.9, ESLint 9.39.4) and passes:

  • src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts: 114/114 passing.
  • src/api/transform/__tests__/vscode-lm-format.spec.ts: 39/39 passing.
  • NativeToolCallParser: 12/12 passing (165 total across the three suites).
  • turbo lint: 11/11 packages successful; focused ESLint clean on the changed files, with src/eslint-suppressions.json left unmodified.
  • turbo check-types / tsc --noEmit: clean.

Commit hooks (lint-staged and the pre-push type check) ran normally; nothing was bypassed.

What the out-of-tree probe did and did not show

An earlier out-of-tree experiment made 210 live vscode.lm requests against real Copilot Claude models.

The probe did not reproduce the tools-declared leak. All 105 tool-declared runs emitted a proper LanguageModelToolCallPart and leaked nothing into text parts. This bounds the leak rate at a low value on that surface; it does not prove absence, and no claim in this PR rests on the leak having been reproduced.

The probe harness and its transcripts are not part of this repository or this diff; the harness lives separately at simurg79/roo-vault#599. The measurements are reported here only for the record and are not reproducible from anything in this PR.

The real-world shape of the leak is inferred from third-party Anthropic-API reports (anthropics/claude-code#66153, #73808), not captured from vscode-lm. Copilot's vscode.lm endpoint sits behind its own prompt assembly, so those results describe that surface rather than the raw Anthropic API.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added compatibility for Anthropic-style tool calls in VS Code Language Model responses.
    • Improved streaming recovery when tool calls span multiple response chunks.
    • Added automatic request-size management by trimming oversized tool results while preserving tool-call context.
    • Preserved native tool-call ordering alongside recovered calls.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Sanitized invalid Unicode characters before sending messages.
    • Improved handling of quoted, partial, unknown, and malformed tool-call markup.
    • Requests that remain too large after trimming are now rejected with a clear error.

…indow-safe tool_result truncation

Hardens the VS Code Language Model provider (notably GitHub Copilot serving
Anthropic Claude) against three failure modes:

- Surrogate sanitization: a lone UTF-16 surrogate cannot be encoded as UTF-8,
  so the backend rejects the entire request with a 400. sanitizeSurrogates()
  replaces unpaired surrogates with U+FFFD while preserving valid pairs
  (emoji, CJK ext.), applied to string messages, tool results, and text parts.

- Leaked tool-call recovery: some backends stream a tool call as raw <invoke>
  XML instead of a structured LanguageModelToolCallPart, leaving the turn with
  no tool_use block and stalling the task in a "no tools used" retry loop.
  extractLeakedToolCalls() and trailingPartialToolMarkerLength() detect the
  markup mid-stream (including markers split across chunk boundaries) and
  replay it as a real tool call, conservatively: only for <invoke> names
  matching a tool actually offered that turn, and only when tools were offered.

- Window-safe tool_result truncation: Copilot's backend trims over-window
  requests without preserving tool_use/tool_result pairing, orphaning a
  tool_result and causing a 400 (unexpected tool_use_id).
  truncateToolResultsToFitWindow() and middleOutTruncate() shrink oversized
  tool_result payloads on our side (largest first, middle-out, pairing
  preserved) before sending.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The VS Code LM provider now sanitizes surrogate characters, estimates and trims oversized requests, and recovers schema-aware tool calls from wrapped streamed markup. Tests cover conversion, buffering, ordering, context limits, quoted markup, and parameter validation.

Changes

VS Code LM robustness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Surrogate sanitization
src/api/transform/vscode-lm-format.ts, src/api/transform/__tests__/vscode-lm-format.spec.ts
Adds recursive surrogate sanitization for messages, tool results, text blocks, and nested tool-call inputs.
Context-window estimation and trimming
src/api/providers/vscode-lm.ts, src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts
Estimates complete messages, accounts for image placeholders, trims oversized tool results, and rejects requests that remain above the context limit.
Schema-aware leaked tool-call recovery
src/api/providers/vscode-lm.ts, src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts
Recovers wrapped function-call markup, suppresses quoted markup, validates parameters against offered schemas, buffers across chunks, and preserves stream ordering.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9660b

The provider may still submit an over-window request instead of rejecting it, and recovered tool calls can incorrectly remain text when nullable parameters contain null. These correctness issues should be fixed before merge; the remaining probe ambiguities also need owner acceptance or clarification.

Address review feedback on the leaked-tool-call salvage path: a tool name alone was not a sufficient gate, so prose or fenced examples reproducing the invoke markup could be replayed as real calls. Adds the quoted/fenced guard plus coverage.

Also records the empirical vscode.lm probe as a project skill (probe-vscode-lm-api) with the scratch probe extension, the false-positive replay harness, representative transcripts, and the consent-gate gotcha.
Skill directories hold reference scripts and captured artifacts that are intentionally never imported by the build.

I don't have permission to add a reviewer via the API (RequestReviewsByLogin denied), so flagging here instead — could you re-review when you get a chance? Note item r3741434464 involved a behavioral decision (extending the quoted-markup guard to unfenced prose) that's worth a look.

…buffer

Loop tag stripping until stable so `<<script>>` cannot reconstruct a tag
after a single pass (CodeQL incomplete multi-character sanitization).

Track fence marker and width instead of counting ``` runs for parity, so
tilde fences and 4+ backtick fences are recognized.

Treat a quoted invoke that ends its line as quoted when an explicit
quoting cue precedes it, rather than recovering it as a live tool call.
Keying off leading prose alone was tried previously and regressed genuine
recoveries, so the cue is deliberately narrow.

Bound the salvage buffer so markup that never closes is flushed as plain
text instead of withholding the response until the stream ends.
The first version of this test only checked the flushed text's content,
which the end-of-stream drain produces even without the cap, so it passed
against the unfixed code. Assert instead that text reaches the consumer
before the stream is exhausted, which is what the bound actually changes.

1439-1503: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The quoted-markup tests no longer exercise the quoting heuristics.

Every negative case in this block uses a bare invoke(...) with no wrap(...). extractLeakedToolCalls now requires an open <function_calls> wrapper at the block position, so each of these tests passes on the missing wrapper alone. isInsideCodeFence, the inline-code parity check, QUOTING_CUE, and stripTagsCompletely are not proven by any of them.

The streaming cases at Line 438 and Line 477 have the same property.

Wrap each quoted fixture in wrap(...) so the wrapper gate is satisfied and the quoting logic is the only thing that can suppress recovery. Confirm each test still fails when the corresponding quoting check is removed.

Example for the fenced case
 		it("does not recover an invoke block inside a fenced code block", () => {
-			const text = "```\n" + invoke("update_todo_list", param("todos", "[x] one")) + "\n```"
+			const text = "```\n" + wrap(invoke("update_todo_list", param("todos", "[x] one"))) + "\n```"

As per path instructions, add the test at the lowest layer that would have failed for a regression.

813-871: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Bound the retained salvageEmittedText prefix.

salvageEmittedText accumulates the whole assistant response for the turn. Every flush passes it to extractLeakedToolCalls as precedingText, and isInsideCodeFence then splits that entire prefix by lines while isInsideFunctionCallsWrapper runs a regex over it. The quoting and wrapper checks only need the text since the last newline and the last wrapper tag, so a long response pays a repeated full-prefix scan and holds a second full copy of the output in memory alongside accumulatedText.

Retaining a bounded tail is sufficient for both checks in practice. This is a refactor, not a defect: recovery still produces correct results today.

- **The leak did not reproduce.** 105/105 tool-declared runs (A+B+C) emitted a proper `LanguageModelToolCallPart` and leaked nothing into text parts. This bounds the leak rate at a low value; it is **not** proof of absence. 105 runs across 7 models cannot exclude a rare or prompt-specific trigger.
- **Wrapped vs. bare inverts the intuition.** All 14 genuine emitted invocations (D) were wrapped in `<function_calls>`; 0 were bare. All 44 quoted-in-prose cases (E+F) were bare; 0 were wrapped. In this sample, _bare correlates with quoting and wrapped with genuine invocation_ — so requiring a `<function_calls>` wrapper would not have been the discriminator it appears to be.
- **No `antml:` prefix appeared** in any of the 210 runs.
- **Zero false positives.** Replaying `extractLeakedToolCalls()` over all 58 transcripts containing `<invoke` with `validToolNames = {read_file}`: 9 recovered (all genuine wrapped invocations, arguments parsed correctly), 49 passed through as text, including all 44 bare quoted cases. The fenced/quoted guard is what does the work here, not the wrapper requirement.

Reconcile the recovery totals.

Line 75 reports 14 D outputs containing markup. Line 84 reports nine recovered calls while describing them as “all genuine wrapped invocations.” The remaining five D outputs have no classification.

State whether those outputs were malformed, used a different tool name, or intentionally passed through. Qualify “all” with the correct denominator.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require trailing prose after the literal example.

isQuotedAsCode() identifies unfenced quoted markup from prose that follows the <invoke> block. Line 121 permits prose before the example or a standalone example at the end. The standalone form is intentionally recoverable, so an E recovery can be counted as a false positive incorrectly.

Require narrative prose after the literal example on the same line. Alternatively, classify standalone examples as intentionally ambiguous.

Based on learnings: isQuotedAsCode() uses trailing prose, and standalone quoted <invoke> markup remains intentionally indistinguishable.

All tests in this "quoted markup" block pass bare invoke(...) without wrap(...). In production, extractLeakedToolCalls evaluates isInsideFunctionCallsWrapper before isQuotedAsCode, so for a bare invoke the wrapper check short-circuits to false first — isInsideCodeFence, the backtick-count branch, and QUOTING_CUE are never reached by any of these tests.

A regression in the quote-detection logic would not be caught here. Would it make sense to add parallel tests using wrap(invoke(...)) to prove each suppression path fires when a wrapper is present?

If yield* were accidentally dropped from yield* flushSalvage(), no text chunk would be emitted — lastText would be -1 and firstToolCall > -1 would still hold. The ordering check passes even when the flush is silently broken.

Recovery only fires when an open <function_calls> wrapper precedes the <invoke> (this gate), but the claude-code issues cited as justification (#68354, #73808, #66153) report the real leak as a bare, unwrapped <invoke> -- so this won't recover the case it's built for. The probe also never reproduced the leak on vscode.lm (0/105 tool-declared runs). Consider narrowing the PR claim to the wrapped-Copilot variant and scoping the bare case out explicitly.

This floors each tool_result at MIN_TOOL_RESULT_CHARS, so when the over-window size is dominated by non-tool_result content (a large user paste, tool_use inputs, assistant text, or many results already near the floor) the budget can't be met and createMessage still sends the oversized request -- re-triggering the unexpected tool_use_id 400 this was written to prevent. estimateContentChars also under-counts (image = 8 vs the ~55-char placeholder actually sent), biasing toward under-truncation.

Every recovered parameter is captured as a string here, so a tool whose schema expects a nested object or array (e.g. read_file.indentation, update_todo_list.todos, ask_followup_question.follow_up) gets a malformed flat-string argument and fails downstream in NativeToolCallParser -- so the stall this recovery targets is not resolved for structured tools. The native path forwards the model's typed input instead.

Agreed, and I've narrowed the claim rather than widening the code. As of 9660bc1:

  • Recovery is now documented and scoped as wrapped-markup-only. An <invoke> is recoverable only inside an open <function_calls> wrapper; a bare, unwrapped <invoke> is deliberately passed through as text, and there's an explicit test for that (does not recover a bare invoke block with no function_calls wrapper).
  • The PR description has been rewritten to state this scope up front, and to say plainly that the wrapper is a heuristic for reducing false positives, not a security or trust boundary.
  • The description no longer implies the probe reproduced the tools-declared leak. It now states directly that the leak did not reproduce (0 of 105 tool-declared runs) and that no claim in the PR depends on it having reproduced. The real-world shape remains inferred from the third-party claude-code reports, not captured from vscode-lm.

So the bare case is scoped out explicitly and intentionally, rather than being an unhandled gap.


Re: #1188 (comment)

This floors each tool_result at MIN_TOOL_RESULT_CHARS, so when the over-window size is dominated by non-tool_result content (a large user paste, tool_use inputs, assistant text, or

Both points are fixed in 9660bc1.

Silent oversized send. The budget is now re-checked after trimming. When shrinking tool_results cannot reach the budget — exactly the case you describe, where non-tool_result content dominates or results already sit at MIN_TOOL_RESULT_CHARScreateMessage no longer sends the request. It raises an explicit error naming the estimated size and the budget, so the failure is actionable instead of resurfacing as an opaque unexpected tool_use_id 400. Covered by still trims oversized tool_results when the system prompt consumes most of the budget and sends the request when trimming brings the conversation back under budget.

Image under-count. estimateContentChars charged 8 for an image. Since VS Code LM cannot carry image data, convertToVsCodeLmMessages substitutes a sentence-long textual placeholder, so 8 was well under what is actually sent. It's now IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER_CHARS = 64, matching that placeholder's real length rather than a token-sized guess.

I've also stated in the PR description that this guard is approximate and does not guarantee a token-accurate fit — it reduces the failure mode, it doesn't eliminate it.

Partially addressed in 9660bc1, and I want to be straight about which half.

Addressed: the rationale is now documented at the constants (VSCODE_LM_BUDGET_CHARS_PER_TOKEN = 3, VSCODE_LM_INPUT_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.8). The reason for not using client.countTokens is that it counts a single string. It cannot price the tool schemas, image placeholders, or per-message framing the backend adds, and this budget has to be computed for every message on every turn, so a tokenizer pass here would be both incomplete and costly. That's why it's a character estimate rather than a reuse of the accurate counter.

Not addressed: the 0.8 itself is unchanged, and I'm not going to dress it up. It is heuristic headroom — a deliberately conservative slack factor covering the framing overhead the character estimate cannot see. I have no empirical calibration behind that specific number, and I'm not aware of any Copilot API limitation that pins it to 0.8. The PR description now says the guard is approximate and does not guarantee a token-accurate fit.

So: divergence from the tiktoken-based context-management path is real, and whether 0.8 is the right slack (or whether this should converge on the repo's existing measurement approach) is still open. Happy to keep discussing it.


Re: #1188 (comment)

Every recovered parameter is captured as a string here, so a tool whose schema expects a nested object or array (e.g. read_file.indentation, update_todo_list.todos, `ask_follow

Good catch — this was a real correctness gap, and it's fixed in 9660bc1.

Recovered parameters are no longer captured as flat strings. Recovery now takes the tool's parameter schema, and declaredParamType() / convertLeakedParamValue() convert each leaked parameter to its declared top-level type — array, object, number, integer, boolean, plus nullable unions resolved to the non-null type. A declared string stays literal even when its value looks like JSON, so string payloads aren't mangled.

For runtime wiring: createMessage builds providedToolSchemas from the very schemas offered to the model that turn, so the conversion uses the same source of truth as the native path rather than a parallel table. Cases like update_todo_list.todos and ask_followup_question.follow_up now arrive as the shape NativeToolCallParser expects.

It fails closed: if a structured parameter isn't valid JSON, or parses to a type its schema doesn't declare, nothing is recovered and the text passes through unchanged. When no schemas are supplied, every parameter stays literal, preserving prior behavior.

Tests added: converts a declared array parameter into a real array, converts declared object, number, integer and boolean parameters, resolves a nullable union to its non-null type, keeps a declared string parameter literal even when it looks like JSON, keeps every parameter literal when no schemas are supplied, fails closed to unchanged text when a structured parameter is not valid JSON, and fails closed when a parsed value has the wrong type for its schema.

To be clear about scope: this is a narrow top-level conversion, not full JSON Schema validation — nested shapes are not validated. That limit is now stated in the PR description.


Re: #1188 (comment)

All tests in this "quoted markup" block pass bare invoke(...) without wrap(...). In production, extractLeakedToolCalls evaluates isInsideFunctionCallsWrapper before `isQuot

You were right — those tests were short-circuiting on the wrapper check and never exercising the quote-detection logic at all. Fixed in 9660bc1.

The "quoted markup" block now uses wrap(invoke(...)), so isInsideFunctionCallsWrapper passes and each suppression path is actually reached:

  • suppresses an invoke inside a three-backtick fence
  • suppresses an invoke inside a tilde fence
  • suppresses an invoke inside a four-backtick fence containing a narrower fence
  • recovers an invoke that follows a CLOSED fence, proving the fence guard reopens
  • suppresses an invoke inside an inline code span
  • suppresses an invoke introduced by a quoting cue that ends its line
  • suppresses an invoke followed by narrative text on the same line

The closed-fence case is deliberately a positive test: it recovers, which proves the fence guard reopens rather than latching permanently and silently suppressing everything after the first fence. A regression in isInsideCodeFence, the fence-width branch, or QUOTING_CUE will now fail a test.


Re: #1188 (comment)

If yield* were accidentally dropped from yield* flushSalvage(), no text chunk would be emitted — lastText would be -1 and firstToolCall > -1 would still hold. The orderin

Correct — the ordering assertion was vacuous if the flush never emitted. lastText of -1 with any firstToolCall would still satisfy firstToolCall > lastText, so dropping yield* from yield* flushSalvage() would have passed silently.

Fixed in 9660bc1 by asserting existence before ordering:

expect(lastText).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0)
expect(firstToolCall).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0)
expect(firstToolCall).toBeGreaterThan(lastText)

The test also now asserts the exact flushed text rather than only its position, so a flush that emits the wrong content — not just one that emits nothing — is caught as well.


Re: #1188 (comment)

The sibling tests in this block all use toBe(text). Could this match?

Yes — it matches, and it's the stronger assertion. Applied in 9660bc1.

The passthrough cases now use exact equality (expect(leftoverText).toBe(text)) instead of a substring check, consistent with the sibling tests in this block. That matters here specifically: passthrough should return the input byte-for-byte unchanged, so a bug that mangles, re-escapes, or partially strips the markup while still leaving the word invoke present would have slipped past toContain but now fails.

The same exact-equality form is used for the other non-recovery paths added in this commit — unwrapped invoke, unoffered tool name, and the two fail-closed schema cases.

Accept null for nullable parameter schemas.

declaredParamType removes "null" from unions such as ["object", "null"]. convertLeakedParamValue then rejects the parsed null, so the valid leaked call remains text instead of becoming a tool_call chunk.

Preserve the nullable type information and accept parsed null when the schema declares it. Add a regression test with optional: null.

Use rawBudgetChars for the admission check.

Line 913 compares against the 2,000-character floor instead of the actual remaining capacity. If rawBudgetChars is 1,000, a 1,500-character non-truncatable message passes this check even though the complete request is 500 characters over budget. The provider then sends the over-window request that this guard must reject.

Use the floor only for truncateToolResultsToFitWindow. Reject when rawBudgetChars <= 0 or remainingChars > rawBudgetChars. Add coverage for a raw budget below MIN_TOOL_RESULT_CHARS.
