Important

Make effort optional in ReasoningConfig when max_tokens is specified, adjusting validation logic accordingly.

  • Behavior:
    • In ReasoningConfig::validate(), effort is now optional if max_tokens is specified.
    • If effort is an empty string, it only triggers an error if max_tokens is not set.
  • Validation Logic:
    • Adjusted condition in validate() to check max_tokens before returning an error for empty effort.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation for the "effort" field, allowing it to be empty without error when "max_tokens" is set.

Walkthrough

The validation logic for the effort field in the ReasoningConfig struct within src/models/chat.rs was updated. Now, an empty effort value only triggers an error if max_tokens is not set, altering the prior behavior where an empty value always caused an error.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
ReasoningConfig Validation Logic
src/models/chat.rs
Modified the validation for the effort field so that an empty string only errors if max_tokens is not set; other validation logic for effort remains unchanged.

Poem

A bunny hopped through fields of code,
Adjusting checks on effort's load.
Now empty strings may pass the gate,
If tokens guide the user's fate.
With logic neat and bugs at bay,
The bunny celebrates today! 🐇✨

  • Draft comment:
    Ensure that allowing an empty 'effort' is intentional: now an empty 'effort' only triggers an error if 'max_tokens' is absent. Please consider adding a comment to document this behavior for clarity and maintainability.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 10% vs. threshold = 50% The code already has clear comments explaining the behavior: "Only validate effort if max_tokens is not present (since max_tokens takes priority)" on line 31. The behavior is intentional and documented. The comment violates the rule about not asking for verification of intended behavior. It also asks for additional documentation when documentation already exists. Maybe there could be value in having even more explicit documentation about the empty string case specifically? The existing comment focuses on the general priority relationship. The existing comment clearly establishes that max_tokens takes priority over effort validation in general, which logically includes the empty string case. Additional documentation would be redundant. Delete the comment. It asks for verification of intended behavior and requests documentation that already exists.

62-64: Potential i32 overflow when mapping max_tokens to Gemini thinking budget

Casting u32 to i32 with as can wrap for values > i32::MAX, producing negative budgets. Prefer a fallible conversion to avoid silent wrap.

Apply this diff:

-    pub fn to_gemini_thinking_budget(&self) -> Option<i32> {
-        self.max_tokens.map(|tokens| tokens as i32)
-    }
+    pub fn to_gemini_thinking_budget(&self) -> Option<i32> {
+        self.max_tokens.and_then(|tokens| i32::try_from(tokens).ok())
+    }

Optionally, consider clamping and logging if a larger value is supplied.


31-41: Add unit tests for ReasoningConfig behavior

The new validation and mapping logic in ReasoningConfig isn’t fully covered by existing tests. Please add unit tests (e.g. in tests/models_chat_tests.rs or next to src/models/chat.rs) for these scenarios:

  • effort = Some("") & max_tokens = Some(100)
    • validate() → Ok
    • to_openai_effort() → None
    • to_thinking_prompt() → Some("Think through this step-by-step with detailed reasoning.")
    • to_gemini_thinking_budget() → Some(100)

  • effort = Some("") & max_tokens = None
    • validate() → Err("Effort cannot be empty string")

  • effort = Some("medium") & max_tokens = None
    • validate() → Ok
    • to_openai_effort() → Some("medium")
    • to_thinking_prompt() → Some("Consider this problem thoughtfully.")

  • effort = Some("weird") & max_tokens = None
    • validate() → Err("Invalid effort value. Must be 'low', 'medium', or 'high'")

  • effort = None & max_tokens = Some(250)
    • validate() → Ok
    • to_openai_effort() → None
    • to_thinking_prompt() → Some("Think through this step-by-step with detailed reasoning.")
    • to_gemini_thinking_budget() → Some(250)

These tests will lock in the behavior of validate(), to_openai_effort(), to_thinking_prompt(), and to_gemini_thinking_budget().

Minor wording improvement for the error string.

-                    return Err("Effort cannot be empty string".to_string());

34-36: Allowing empty effort when max_tokens is set aligns with “prioritize max_tokens”

This change precisely implements the intended precedence: if max_tokens is provided, an empty effort no longer fails validation. The rest of the call sites (to_openai_effort, to_thinking_prompt) already honor this priority, so the behavior stays consistent.
