Build each parse model from only the types its target reaches - #5111

Conversation
Every LLM parse built a schema-aligned-parsing model of every class, enum, and type alias in the program, the standard library included: about 4 MB per model and two models per call, held by a VM object whose native size the GC budget does not count. A busy engine never collected it, so RSS grew with the call count. TypeCtx::for_target now keeps only the definitions the parse target reaches, walked with RuntimeTy::visit_heads (the head walk bex_vm::reachable uses). A small LLM call drops from about 13.3 MB to about 3.4 MB allocated, and 400 unrelated classes add about 22 KB per call instead of 6.3 MB. baml_tests/tests/llm_call_memory.rs counts every allocation with a global allocator and bounds both, so the runtime cannot regress to per-program parse cost again.

## Issue Reference No issue filed. Stacked on #5113 (which is stacked on #5111): it removes `TypeCtx::for_target` from #5111 and extends `llm_call_memory.rs`. Retarget to `canary` once those merge. ## Changes Schema-aligned parsing (SAP) was three sys ops (`$rust_io_function`) although it does no IO: before `spawn`, sys ops were the only way to get concurrency. As sys ops, each parse: - received `T` as an owned copy (`SapTy`), and the engine copied the class and enum tables into the per-call `SysOpContext` (twice more for runtime-built types); - built the parse model from those copies (`TypeCtx::for_target`); - returned a `BexExternalValue` tree that the engine landed on the heap by looking every class and enum up again by name. The SAP ops already returned `SysOpOutput::Ready`, so they ran inline on the VM task under the heap permit. Moving them into the VM changes nothing about what they block. This PR makes them VM natives (`$rust_function`, `bex_vm/src/package_baml/sap.rs`): - **`_new_parse_cache<T>`** reads `T` from the call's type arguments, walks the declarations it reaches (`reachable::all_declarations`), reads each with the shared definition reader, and builds the same `CompiledSapModel` through the unchanged `TypeCtx::new` / `build_db` / `convert_ty`. The model stays in the `_ParseCache<T>` `RustData` (one model per cache, only the types `T` reaches); it holds tagged names, never heap pointers, because `RustData` is a GC leaf. The instance now carries its real `T`. - **`_parse_final` / `_parse_partial`** run jsonish and the coercer as before and allocate the result directly on the heap, mapping the model's tagged names back to the declarations the target reaches. Error behavior is unchanged: a final failure is `baml.errors.LlmClient` with the same messages, a partial that does not parse yet is `_NoYield`. Supporting changes: - **One definition reader** (`bex_vm::definitions`): `class_definition` / `enum_definition` replace the engine's three class readers and two enum readers, which disagreed on `@skip` (the runtime-type overlay dropped skipped fields; the program table and the runtime-package overlay kept them flagged). Every consumer (output-format rendering, `json.schema`, SAP) already filters on the flag, so the reader keeps skipped fields flagged and drops skipped enum variants. - **`reachable::all_declarations`**: every declaration a type reaches, aliases included; `all_nominals` now filters it, and the walk uses a `HashSet` instead of `Vec::contains`. - **`BexVm::rust_data_field`**: one helper for "clone the `Arc` out of a `$rust_type` field", replacing the copies in `regex.rs` and `csv.rs` (which also reported a misleading `MissingNativeFunction`). - **Deleted:** `sys_ops/src/sap.rs` and the SAP sys-op impls, `CompiledSapModel::from_sys_op_context`, `TypeCtx::for_target` / `reachable_definitions`, and the value half of `bex_sap::to_external` (the type half remains, renamed `to_baml_ty`). `bex_sap` no longer depends on `bex_external_types`; `sys_ops` no longer depends on `bex_sap`. ### Bug fixed: `@skip` fields Parsing into a class with a `@skip` field failed: SAP drops the field (the prompt never shows it), and the heap landing required every field (`Missing field \`age\` in external Instance for class \`user.Person\``). The native fills a skipped field with its type's empty value: `null` for nullable types, `0` / `0.0` / `0n`, `false`, `""`, an empty list or map, a literal's own value, an enum's first variant, and a class of its fields' empty values. A skipped field whose type has none (media, functions, a self-containing class) panics with a message naming the field. ### Memory Measured with the counting allocator in `llm_call_memory.rs` (debug build). The gain grows with the size of the parsed output, because the parse no longer builds an external copy of the value and lands it by name. | Parse of a 13 KB JSON reply with 200 items (`Item { id, name, tags }[]`) | #5113 | this PR | | --- | --- | --- | | Final parse (`baml.sap.parse<Item[]>`) | 1,149,933 bytes | 664,622 bytes (−42%) | | Same reply streamed in 52 batches of 256 characters, each reparsed through one `_ParseCache` (as `ai.stream.Stream` does) | 45,427,554 bytes | 32,301,944 bytes (−29%) | (SAP's own bytes: the totals minus a baseline function doing the same work without parsing, about 4-6 KB.) | Small LLM call (a one-line reply) | #5113 | this PR | | --- | --- | --- | | Bytes allocated per call | 699,060 | 687,584 | | Extra bytes per call from 400 unrelated classes | 21,918 | 0 | | Extra bytes per call per prompt message | 35,023 | 34,967 | The streamed case is still large because every batch reparses the whole text so far; incremental parsing is not in this PR. ## Testing - [x] `bex_sap` unit tests unchanged and passing (they build `TypeRefDb` directly). - [x] New `bex_vm` unit tests: `definitions` keeps skipped fields flagged and drops skipped variants. - [x] New corpus test `sap_parse_fills_skipped_fields_with_empty_values` (failed before with the missing-field error). - [x] `baml_builtins2_codegen`: `test_sap_parse_is_a_vm_builtin` replaces the IO-builtin assertion for `_parse_final`. - [x] New memory guards in `llm_call_memory.rs`: `large_parse_allocates_little` (limit 900 KiB) and `streamed_parse_allocates_little` (limit 40 MiB). Both limits sit between the numbers above, so a return to the external-copy path fails them. - [x] Locally, the tests this touches: `bex_sap`, `bex_vm`, `baml_builtins2_codegen`, `sys_ops`, and the `baml_tests` library plus `llm_call_memory` and `reflect_call_any` (1616 passed); the corpus namespaces that parse (`parse_companions`, `generic_union_returns`, `streaming_partial_parse`, `stdlib_runner_stream_batching`, `runtime_type_bindings_phase1_wrapped`, `runtime_identity_seams`, `provider_stdlib`, and every `llm_*` namespace: 498 passed). CI runs the rest. - [x] `prek` passes (cargo fmt, cargo clippy, cargo stow, baml fmt). ## Additional Notes - Not in this PR: yielding to BAML code for custom coercion (the `YieldToCall` continuation path `baml.json.to<T>` uses), and moving `ctx.output_format()` / `baml.json.schema`, the last users of the `SysOpContext` tables, to natives. - `StreamStateTy` still has no production constructor; left as is. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Medium Risk** > Touches core LLM output parsing and heap allocation paths; behavior is intended to match prior SAP errors but execution moved from sys ops to VM with definition-walk semantics changes. > > **Overview** > **Schema-aligned parsing (SAP)** moves from async sys ops to **VM natives** (`baml.sap` uses `$rust_function` with `//baml:mut_vm`).

## Issue Reference No issue filed. Found while profiling LLM-call memory (see BoundaryML#5111 and BoundaryML#5113, which this PR does not depend on). ## Changes `ai.Agent` parsed each accepted candidate twice: 1. `_attempt_turn` decided whether to accept a turn with `_parses`, which ran `baml.sap.parse<Out>(candidate)` and discarded the value. 2. `run` then ran `baml.sap.parse<Out>(candidate)` again on the same text to get the result. On `canary` every parse builds a parse model, so the second parse doubled that cost. This PR keeps the accepting parse: - `_parses` splits into `_fits_without_text<Out>(turn) -> bool?` (the provider-decoded output or the turn's media decides; `null` when only the text can tell) and `_parse_text<Out>(candidate) -> ParsedOutput?` (the parsed value, wrapped so a parsed `null` is distinct from no parse). - `_attempt_turn` returns `_AcceptedTurn { turn, text_output }`. - `run` takes the value from `turn.parsed_output ?? accepted.text_output`, or builds it from the turn's media. Exactly one of the three accepted the turn, so the duplicated three-way logic in `run` goes away. `_media_value` still runs in `run`, after the turn is on the record, as its doc requires. | Measure (debug build, `canary`) | before | after | | --- | --- | --- | | Bytes allocated per small LLM call | 13.5 MB | 8.5 MB | | Extra bytes per call from 400 unrelated classes | 6.3 MB | 3.2 MB | (Measured with `llm_call_memory.rs` from BoundaryML#5111. With BoundaryML#5111 the parse model is small, so the saving there is the cost of one parse instead of most of the call.) ## Testing - [x] BAML corpus (`baml-cli test --from crates/baml_tests/baml_src`): 5082 passed, 2 tolerated (the deliberate test-runner tests). This covers the runner's repair re-ask, provider-decoded outputs, and the `image?` / `image[]` media cases. - [x] CI snapshot job (`cargo insta test --test-runner nextest --dnd -p baml_tests -p baml_cli -p baml_pack_host --all-features --unreferenced=reject`): 1615 passed, no snapshot changes. - [x] CI general job: 4971 passed. - [x] `runner.baml` is `baml fmt`-clean. ## Additional Notes No new test asserts the parse count: nothing in the test harness observes how many times SAP runs, and the memory numbers above show the change. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Medium Risk** > Touches the default agent loop and final output resolution (SAP, provider decode, media), but behavior is covered by the existing BAML corpus and snapshot tests. > > **Overview** > **`ai.Agent` now parses each accepted terminal reply once** instead of running `baml.sap.parse` in `_attempt_turn` for acceptance and again in `run` for the final value. > > `_parses` is replaced by **`_fits_without_text`** (provider-decoded output or turn media vs. needs text; `null` when only text can decide) and **`_parse_text`** (returns a retained `ParsedOutput?`). **`_attempt_turn`** returns **`_AcceptedTurn`** with optional `text_output` from that single parse. **`run`** builds the result from `turn.parsed_output ?? accepted.text_output`, or **`_media_value`** when media satisfied acceptance—removing duplicated three-way branching and the second SAP pass. > > **`_fits_without_text`** keeps media-shaped outputs that have no blocks on the turn on the text-parse path so optional/absent media (`image?`, `image[]`) still work instead of failing early. > > <sup>Reviewed by [Cursor Bugbot](https://cursor.com/bugbot) for commit 080e786.

… match arms (BoundaryML#5113) ## Issue Reference No issue filed. Found by heap-profiling an LLM call after BoundaryML#5111 (now merged). **This branch also carries BoundaryML#5119** ("Run schema-aligned parsing as VM natives"), which was merged into it: SAP as `$rust_function` natives, the shared definition reader, the `@skip` fix, and the parse memory guards. See BoundaryML#5119 for its description and measurements. ## Changes After BoundaryML#5111, one small LLM call still allocated 3.4 MB, and **each prompt message added 1.56 MB** (debug build). A heap profile (dhat) put 77% of it in runtime `match` type tests (`IsType` / `NarrowBind` → `value_matches_template` → `normalize::is_subtype`): - `openai.internal._prune_nulls` (and the Bedrock copy) runs once per node of the request JSON and tests `map<string, baml.json.json>`, then `baml.json.json[]`. - A hit is cheap (the `sub == sup` fast path). A **miss** is not: `heads_definitely_differ` decided only same-variant nominal pairs, so a string or a list tested against `map<string, json>` canonicalized both sides and expanded the recursive `json` alias through the μ automaton: about 187 KB per string, 377 KB per list. Two fixes: 1. **Cross-category refutation in the type algebra** (`baml_type/src/normalize.rs`). `heads_definitely_differ` and its interned twin now also return true when both heads have a `Category` and the categories differ, so all five entry points (`is_subtype`/`equivalent`, the interned free functions, `InternedCanonicalCache`) reject those pairs before canonicalizing. Heads that canonicalization can rewrite or that a context-driven rule relates across kinds — alias, union, projection, interface, type variable, inference variable, `unknown`, `never`, error — have no category and are never refuted. A literal and its base, and an enum variant and its enum, share a category. This follows TYPE_SYSTEM.md §Concrete Types (no concrete type is a subtype of another); interface membership, associated types, and type variables stay with the full algebra. The `Ty` and interned category tables come from one `macro_rules!` table. 2. **Tag test for narrowing container arms** (`baml_compiler2_mir/src/lower.rs`). MIR already emits a coarse `IsTypeTag` when the scrutinee's static type proves it suffices (`parametric_arm_tag_sufficient`), and a `json` parameter is already unfolded to `… | json[] | map<string, json>`. But a `let x: T` arm tests a *snapshot* of the scrutinee, and the guard compared against the match local only, so the shortcut never fired for narrowing arms. `MatchScrutinee` now records snapshot copies, and both the container-arm gate and the switch gate ask whether the tested local holds the scrutinee. An element-specific arm (`let xs: int[]` on a `json` scrutinee) stays structural. | Measure (debug build) | BoundaryML#5111 | this PR | | --- | --- | --- | | Bytes allocated per small LLM call | about 3.4 MB | about 0.70 MB | | Extra bytes per call per prompt message | about 1.56 MB | about 35 KB | ## Testing - [x] `baml_type` unit tests: an oracle over a 37-kind corpus (every `Ty` variant, plus facts that make the interface, type-variable, projection, and recursive-alias rules fire) checks that `is_subtype` and `equivalent` give the canonical relation's verdict for every pair, on the plain and the interned paths. Cost tests count the context's `alias_def` lookups and assert that cross-category pairs never ask for one (they failed before the change). A test pins that rewritable and context-driven kinds are not refuted. - [x] MIR tests: `json_container_arms_test_only_the_runtime_tag` (failed before) and `json_scrutinee_keeps_element_specific_arms_structural`. - [x] Corpus tests in `ns_json_alias/json_alias.baml`: every json kind reaches its own arm, and a recursive null-pruning function over nested json gives the right result. - [x] Regression test: `llm_call_memory.rs` `call_cost_does_not_grow_with_conversation_length` compares a 1-message and a 21-message prompt and bounds the bytes per extra message at 128 KiB (it failed at 1,559,878). The per-call bound drops from 8 MiB to 2 MiB. - [x] CI suites, locally: the general job passed 4,891 tests. The snapshot job passed 1,595; its 12 CLI-driven tests (`baml_corpus`, `pack_e2e`, `type_quiz`) stopped only at the local agent-skill check and pass with `BAML_AGENT_SKILL_CHECK=off` (14 of 14, including `type_quiz_conformance` and the new corpus tests). No snapshot changed. - [x] `cargo clippy` on the changed crates is clean. ## Additional Notes - Not done: caching the canonical form of constant type templates in the VM. After these two fixes the type tests cost about nothing in an LLM call, and a cache would hold `NormalTy<TypeHead>` (no GC head walk) built from facts that runtime impl registration can change. - Soundness of fix 2 rests on the same invariant the existing gate uses: a value's runtime container type matches its static type. `let j: json = xs` with `xs: int[]` is a type error, so a list in a `json` slot is stamped `json[]`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Medium Risk** > Changes type subtyping fast paths and MIR match lowering (soundness-sensitive) plus the SAP/LLM parse pipeline; broad test and allocation guards reduce regression risk. > > **Overview** > Cuts **LLM-call allocation** by fixing two hot paths and moving **schema-aligned parsing (SAP)** onto the VM. > > **Type tests on `json`:** Failed runtime `match` checks used to **canonicalize the recursive `json` alias** on every miss (e.g. when pruning request JSON). `heads_definitely_differ` now **rejects cross-category pairs** before canonicalization.

Issue Reference
No issue filed. Found while load testing a Python service migrated to 0.20: its server memory grew with every request and did not come back down.
Changes
Every LLM parse (
baml.sap.parse<T>→ the_new_parse_cachesys op →CompiledSapModel::from_sys_op_context) built a schema-aligned-parsing model of every class, enum, and type alias in the program, the standard library included. That costs about 4 MB per model, and each call builds two models: one for partial parses (ai/runner.baml_parses) and one for the final parse. AParseCacheVM object holds each model, and the GC budget counts only TLAB slots, not that native memory. A busy engine therefore never collects it. Only the 100 ms idle collection frees it, and then glibc keeps the pages. A nativebaml runwith one long root call never goes idle, so there it gets worse. It is absent on0.15.1-nightly.20260731.aand present from0.19.1-nightly.20260915.a. The likely cause is #4352, which routed every parse through the parse cache.This PR builds each model from only the definitions its target reaches:
TypeCtx::for_target(replacesTypeCtx::from_sys_op_context) keeps the classes, enums, and aliases thattargetreaches, in program order.reachable_definitionswalks them withRuntimeTy::visit_heads, the same head walk thatbex_vm::reachableuses for heap declarations. It runs over theSysOpContexttables, which the engine extracts from those same declarations. The walk over-approximates (it also keeps type-argument and function heads), so every name the converter looks up is still present.TypeCtx::newtakes an iterator of borrowed class definitions and an owned enum map, because a filtered map can no longer share the context'sArc.8abe8babdTesting
bex_sapsap_model::convert::testscover a primitive target, a class with a cycle and an enum, a recursive alias, and a check that the pruned set converts without unknown names.baml_tests/tests/llm_call_memory.rscounts every allocation with a global allocator, so the bound does not depend on when the GC runs. It asserts that one small LLM call allocates at most 8 MiB, and that 400 unrelated classes add at most 256 KiB per call. On canary it fails with 13,287,877 bytes per call and +6,310,103 bytes per call.cargo nextest run -p bex_sap -p sys_ops -p baml_tests --test baml_src --test prompt_tag_e2e --test prompt_tag_runtime --test streaming_composite_clients --test llm_call_memory --lib: 1490 passed.cargo clippy -p bex_sap -p baml_tests --tests -- -D warningsis clean.Additional Notes
Not in this PR:

A busy engine could still grow on other paths.reqwest::Clientbuilt per request (HttpTimeoutOptions::client()) and the per-sys-op copy of the class table (runtime_type_overlay).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
Note
Medium Risk
Changes core LLM response parsing/type conversion; reachable-set bugs could drop needed definitions and break parses for complex schemas, though unit tests and allocation regressions mitigate this.
