Problem

_merge_cks (rag/nlp/__init__.py, used by naive_merge_docx — the "General" chunker for docx/doc/epub/json) decides whether to merge an incoming text unit into the running chunk by checking whether the already-accumulated total is over chunk_token_num, never the projected total (accumulated + incoming):

if prev_text_ck < 0 or merged[prev_text_ck]["tk_nums"] >= chunk_token_num or has_custom:
    merged.append(cks[i]); ...  # start new chunk
    continue
merged[prev_text_ck]["tk_nums"] += cks[i]["tk_nums"]  # unconditional

This is the same bug class #17203 fixed for naive_merge / RAGFlowTxtParser.parser_txt (size check fired after the append instead of before it) — but #17203's "Out of scope" note states naive_merge_docx "already enforces the budget ... unchanged". That is not the case: _merge_cks has the same after-the-fact check.

Because the check only re-evaluates once per iteration rather than before every merge, the overshoot is not bounded to one extra unit — when text units are sized close to chunk_token_num, a chunk can grow to nearly double the budget before the next iteration notices.

Measured:

Scenario Budget Result
20 paragraphs x 40 tokens 128 5 chunks of 160 tokens (25% over)
21 sections x 95 tokens 100 chunks of 190 tokens (90% over)

This affects every .docx upload through the default "General" chunker (rag/app/naive.py is the only caller of naive_merge_docx).

Fix

Mirror #17203's proactive-check shape: merge only if the projected total still fits the budget.

incoming_tk = cks[i].get("tk_nums", 0)
if prev_text_ck < 0 or has_custom or merged[prev_text_ck]["tk_nums"] + incoming_tk > chunk_token_num:
    merged.append(cks[i]); ...
    continue
merged[prev_text_ck]["tk_nums"] = merged[prev_text_ck].get("tk_nums", 0) + incoming_tk

An already-oversized atomic unit (a single section with no internal delimiter, larger than the budget on its own) still cannot be sub-split by _merge_cks — it only merges, never splits — so it stays its own chunk, same as the current behaviour, and consistent with #17203 not attempting atom-level splitting at every call site either.

Scope check on the Go rewrite

Not affected. internal/ingestion/pipeline/template/ingestion_pipeline_general.json routes docx (and doc/html/markdown/pdf) through a single shared TokenChunker component, which #17203 already patched (internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token.go was one of the files in that PR). The Go docx parsers (internal/deepdoc/parser/docx, internal/parser/parser/docx_*.go) only produce structure/IR and have no independent token-budget merge logic.

Tests

New file test/unit_test/rag/test_naive_merge_docx.py — the first test coverage for naive_merge_docx / _merge_cks. 7 tests covering the projected-total check, packing efficiency for small units, the oversized-atomic-unit edge case, and the has_custom / image-passthrough branches.

Verified on Linux x86_64, Python 3.12:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

_merge_cks now splits oversized text units and checks projected token totals before merging. New tests cover budget enforcement, efficient packing, split boundaries, custom delimiters, zero or one token caps, and image entries.

Changes

Chunk budget enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Oversized unit splitting
rag/nlp/__init__.py
New helpers split oversized text at whitespace boundaries or character windows. Each returned piece fits the configured token budget.
Projected-total merge flow
rag/nlp/__init__.py
_merge_cks expands oversized units and merges incoming units only when the projected total fits. Custom-delimiter units bypass splitting.
Chunk budget regression coverage
test/unit_test/rag/test_naive_merge_docx.py
Tests cover token limits, packing, split behavior, custom delimiters, progress for small caps, projected totals, and image accounting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ab952

The change tightens DOCX chunk sizing, but current code can still emit a unit above the configured cap and can miscalculate assembled token totals, leading to incorrect chunk boundaries or oversized chunks. These correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Merged main in. This branch was cut before #17808 and #18002 landed, and both of those touched rag/nlp/__init__.py, so it was worth checking whether they had already covered this. They haven't: _merge_cks on current main still reads

if prev_text_ck < 0 or merged[prev_text_ck]["tk_nums"] >= chunk_token_num or has_custom:

which is still the accumulated-only check. The merge was clean and the diff against main is the same two files as before.

Re-ran on current main. test_naive_merge.py, test_merge_paragraphs.py, test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py and the new test_naive_merge_docx.py are 58 passed together. With rag/nlp/__init__.py restored to main's version, three of the new tests fail:

FAILED test_naive_merge_docx_many_paragraphs_do_not_overshoot_budget - AssertionError: [160, 160, 160, 160, 160]
FAILED test_naive_merge_docx_near_budget_units_do_not_double_budget - AssertionError: [190, 190, 190, ...]
FAILED test_merge_cks_projected_total_check_no_overshoot - assert False

so the 25% and 90% overshoots in the description still reproduce as written. _merge_cks has one caller, naive_merge_docx, so nothing else changes behaviour.

Review of #17692fix(chunker): enforce strict chunk_token_num cap in naive_merge_docx

I read the diff, the PR description, all the CodeRabbit comments, and compared against the current rag/nlp/__init__.py. I also ran the merge logic to confirm behavior. The code change itself is mechanically correct, but the PR's core premise is outdated, and merging it as-is would make the docx and txt chunker paths diverge in their cap semantics.

Key background (this drives the whole review)

The txt path naive_merge now defaults to MergeStrategy.OVER_CAP (rag/nlp/__init__.py:1360, contract docstring at :1285 explicitly says "OVER_CAP has no hard cap"). I ran the two strategies on 21 units × 95 tokens, budget 100:

over_cap  -> chunks of 190 tokens (90% over budget)   # txt default today
under_cap -> chunks of 95  tokens (strict, never over) # what this PR makes docx

The original naive_merge_docx check at rag/nlp/__init__.py:1765 (merged[prev]["tk_nums"] >= chunk_token_num) looks at the already-accumulated total — which is equivalent (up to the exact-budget boundary) to OVER_CAP's "close when accumulated > threshold". So docx's current "overflow by one unit" behavior already matches txt's intended OVER_CAP contract. It is not a docx-specific bug that #17203 fixed for txt.

This PR changes docx to merged[prev]["tk_nums"] + incoming_tk > chunk_token_num — that is exactly UNDER_CAP (strict) semantics. After this PR: docx = strict cap, txt = soft cap (OVER_CAP). The two paths drift apart.

1. Declared problem — does it actually solve it?

2. Better approach

Do not silently switch docx alone to a strict cap. Two coherent options:

  • A (recommended if the current soft-cap contract stands): Close the PR. naive_merge_docx already aligns with naive_merge's OVER_CAP; nothing to fix.
  • B (only if strict caps are a deliberate system-wide decision): This is a contract-level change and must flip txt too (to UNDER_CAP) and update the merge_paragraphs contract docstring. Fixing only docx is half the work.
  • Minimal-consistency fix if strict caps are wanted: give _merge_cks a MergeStrategy parameter (default OVER_CAP, sharing _merge_paragraph_groups's decision logic) instead of hand-writing a second, differently-shaped check. That keeps the two paths from drifting again.

3. Test coverage / regression risk

The new tests are good quality (boundary, packing efficiency, oversized atomic unit, has_custom, image) and use a monkeypatched word-count tokenizer for exact assertions — better than the existing sibling tests. But:

  • Contract risk: test_naive_merge_docx_near_budget_units_do_not_double_budget asserts tk_nums <= 100, hard-coding "docx strictly never exceeds budget" as the expectation. If the correct decision is to keep OVER_CAP (option A), these assertions encode the wrong contract and conflict with txt's real behavior — they would lock docx into the inconsistent state.
  • Parity regression: naive_merge_docx is the reference function for the live Go→Python parity harness. Changing docx chunk counts/sizes shifts every docx/doc/epub/json golden snapshot and requires a full re-baseline, otherwise parity tests fail wholesale.
  • User-side regression: with the same chunk_token_num=128, docx would now emit smaller chunks than txt (fewer units per chunk), increasing chunk count → more embeddings / higher cost, and inconsistent experience across file types.

4. Does merging improve the system?

No, as written. It takes a path that was already consistent with txt and makes it stricter than txt. It breaks txt/docx/doc/epub/json chunk-behavior consistency, with no corresponding txt-side change. Unless the goal is global strict caps (then option B, fixing txt as well), this is net-negative.

5. Are the existing comments reasonable / how to fix them?

All four CodeRabbit comments stay inside the PR's (flawed) framing and none of them catch the OVER_CAP/UNDER_CAP inconsistency, which is the real issue.

  1. "Assert text preservation in boundary tests (all([]) vacuous pass)" (lines 100–112) — ✅ reasonable, already addressed (len(texts) > 1 + sum == 21*95). A genuine catch.
  2. "Add exact-budget case 60+40==100 still merges" (lines 146–155) — ✅ reasonable, low-cost; guards against a future >>= regression. Worth adding, but only meaningful under option B.
  3. "Remove unused DEFAULT_DELIMITER" (line 41) — ✅ reasonable (RUF001 + AGENTS.md "remove dead code"); low priority. CI does not run ruff, but house style favors deletion.
  4. "Remove fix(chunker): enforce strict chunk_token_num cap on .txt / PDF / email paths #17203 historical/compatibility wording" (lines 17–32) — ⚠️ partially reasonable but the direction needs correcting. AGENTS.md does forbid compatibility wording, but the more important fix is the factual error: the docstring claims "fix(chunker): enforce strict chunk_token_num cap on .txt / PDF / email paths #17203's Out-of-scope note was incorrect." In fact, after Internal discussion: TokenChunker contract — delimiter boundary + token_size soft-target merge #17799 txt also became OVER_CAP soft-cap, so the old "docx already enforces the budget, unchanged" note was correct — the PR's own understanding is outdated. Recommend deleting the misleading "fix(chunker): enforce strict chunk_token_num cap on .txt / PDF / email paths #17203 was incorrect" claim and stating the current contract (docx should use the same MergeStrategy as naive_merge), rather than broadly "stripping historical narrative."

Suggestion for the maintainer

Ask the author to first decide: should docx be OVER_CAP or UNDER_CAP? Before that is settled, the CodeRabbit test-level nitpicks are just polishing a PR that is pointing in the wrong direction. Don't accept them as a signal the PR is ready.

  • If the soft-cap contract stands → close (option A).
  • If strict caps are wanted → expand to a system-wide change that also flips txt (option B), or add a shared MergeStrategy parameter to _merge_cks.

Nas01010101 and others added 2 commits August 19, 2026 20:53
_merge_cks (used by naive_merge_docx, the "General" docx/doc/epub/json
chunker) decided whether to merge an incoming text unit into the running
chunk by checking whether the *already-accumulated* total was already
>= chunk_token_num, never the *projected* total (accumulated + incoming).
The check only re-evaluates once per iteration, so a chunk can grow to
nearly double the budget before the overflow is noticed, worse than a
simple one-unit soft-cap overshoot when units are sized close to the
budget.

Make the check proactive: merge only if accumulated + incoming still
fits chunk_token_num, mirroring infiniflow#17203's fix for naive_merge /
RAGFlowTxtParser.parser_txt. infiniflow#17203's own "Out of scope" note stated
naive_merge_docx "already enforces the budget ... unchanged" -- that is
incorrect; _merge_cks has the same after-the-fact check infiniflow#17203 fixed
everywhere else.

Measured before this fix: 20 x 40-token paragraphs at the default
budget (128) produce 5 chunks of 160 tokens (25% over); 21 x 95-token
sections at budget 100 produce chunks of 190 tokens (90% over, since
units are sized close to the budget).

The Go ingestion rewrite is not affected: internal/ingestion routes
docx (and doc/html/markdown/pdf) through the single shared TokenChunker
component, which already received the strict-cap fix as part of infiniflow#17203.

Add test/unit_test/rag/test_naive_merge_docx.py (first test coverage
for naive_merge_docx / _merge_cks) covering the projected-total check,
packing efficiency, an oversized-atomic-section edge case, and the
has_custom / image passthrough branches.
all() over an empty list is true, so the near-budget test passed if
naive_merge_docx returned no text chunks at all. Assert the chunk count
and the token total, and assert the text either side of an image is
still in the output.

@Nas01010101 I just want to make sure that we also split oversized segments on whitespace with an exact token-count character-window binary search fallback, ensuring all chunks strictly fit the budget, just like in #17203 and RAGFlowHtmlParser._split_oversized_block.

_merge_cks kept a text unit larger than chunk_token_num whole, so one long
segment emitted a chunk over the budget.

_split_oversized_unit breaks such a unit at whitespace-run ends; a
whitespace-free run that is over budget on its own falls back to a
character-window search inside that run. Both tiers share
_largest_fitting_cut, which gallops to bracket the first overflow and then
bisects inside it, so a probe tokenizes about one budget's worth of text
rather than the whole remainder. It returns only an offset whose prefix a
probe measured at <= chunk_token_num. Concatenating the pieces reproduces
the input.

The count is taken on the assembled prefix instead of summed per atom.
cl100k is not additive and whitespace atoms are not free: scoring them as
zero lets a piece reach twice the cap on blank-line-heavy text (4 pieces,
max 256 tokens at cap 128, against 7 pieces and max 128 here).

Table and image units still pass through whole, matching the
doc_type_kwd != "text" skip in TitleChunkerBase._enforce_token_cap. The
wrapped custom-delimiter path still bypasses chunk_token_num.

_split_oversized_unit breaks an over-budget unit at whitespace-run ends; a whitespace-free run that is over budget on its own falls back to a character-window search inside that run. Both tiers share _largest_fitting_cut, which gallops to bracket the first overflow and then bisects inside it, so a probe tokenizes about one budget's worth of text rather than the whole remainder. It returns only an offset whose prefix a probe measured at <= chunk_token_num. The pieces rejoin to the input.

One difference from #17203 and _split_oversized_block: the count is taken on the assembled prefix instead of summed per atom. cl100k is not additive and whitespace atoms are not free — scoring them as zero lets a piece reach twice the cap on blank-line-heavy text (4 pieces, max 256 tokens at cap 128, against 7 pieces and max 128 here).

this is the docx path. _merge_paragraph_groups, token_chunker._merge_text_chunks_by_token_size, and the _apply_overlap_unconditional overlap can still exceed the cap. _split_oversized_unit, should i apply to this PR or a follow-up? @xugangqiang

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not emit a character that exceeds the token cap.

If one character tokenizes to more than chunk_token_num, _largest_fitting_cut returns start. Line 1839 then emits that character anyway. _merge_cks accepts it as a new chunk, so the emitted text exceeds the stated cap.

Define an explicit policy for an indivisible over-cap unit. Raise an error if the cap is strict, or document and handle an oversize-atom exception at the caller. Add a regression test with a token counter that returns 2 for a one-character input and a cap of 1.

Add logging for the new expansion flow.

Log when _expand_oversized_text_ck splits a text unit. Include the token cap, original token count, and piece count. Do not log document text.

As per coding guidelines: “**/*.py: Add logging for new flows.”

Measure the assembled text before merging.

_split_oversized_unit correctly states that token counts are non-additive. Lines 1888 and 1894 still sum separate token counts. The stored tk_nums can then differ from the token count of the emitted text, and valid units can be split unnecessarily.

Build the candidate text first. Measure it with num_tokens_from_string. Use that result for both the cap check and merged[prev_text_ck]["tk_nums"].
