Summary

The TokenChunker previously used OVER_CAP semantics: a chunk could exceed chunk_token_size by one incoming unit (merge-then-close), and a single oversized unit was kept whole as an over-budget chunk (#17799). This diverged from the TitleChunker's hard chunk_token_cap introduced in #18455. This PR makes the Go TokenChunker merge enforce a hard cap so no text chunk exceeds chunk_token_size.

  • Oversized-unit expansion (mergeUnits): units whose token count exceeds the target are expanded before merging — sentence-boundary split first (delimiters preserved, lossless), then a hard token-split fallback. The hard split never cuts through a @@...## coordinate tag (cut is extended past the closing ## when the budget allows, otherwise backed off before the @@).
  • UNDER_CAP merge: a projected join that would push the running sum over the target starts a fresh chunk instead of merge-then-close.
  • Overlap trim: the overlap prefix is trimmed to fit, so the hard cap holds with overlapped_percent > 0.
  • Metadata preserved: expanded pieces keep the source unit's doc_type_kwd; PDF positions follow Plan A (original coarse coordinates on the first sub-chunk only, later sub-chunks none).
  • Deleted dual-track: the MergeStrategy enum and under_cap toggle are removed; the merge is always strict (converge to one path).

Behavior change (intentional)

  • Existing TokenChunker pipelines will re-chunk on their next run: over-budget chunks are now split into <= chunk_token_size pieces, and chunk boundaries shift because the merge no longer overflows by one unit. This is the intended hard-cap guarantee.
  • Go vs Python divergence (Python stays OVER_CAP, by decision): the Python token_chunker
    (rag/flow/chunker/token_chunker.py) and the rag/nlp paragraph merge keep their existing
    OVER_CAP semantics — a chunk may exceed chunk_token_size by one incoming unit
    (merge-then-close), and a single oversized unit is still kept whole as an over-budget chunk
    (#17799). This PR intentionally does NOT change the Python side. Under the current
    stage rule that forbids modifying Python logic, the Go hard-cap is the fix-side and Python remains
    the source of truth for those cases.
    • Concretely, the two merge functions that differ are:
      • rag/flow/chunker/token_chunker.py::_merge_text_chunks_by_token_size — pure OVER_CAP,
        no overlap-prefix trimming, oversized units stand alone.
      • rag/nlp/__init__.py::_merge_paragraph_groups — has an UNDER_CAP branch but still keeps
        oversized units whole (over cap).
    • The affected golden cases are registered in known_diffs.json as go_intentional with
      owner_fix_side=python; they remain under a Go-snapshot ratchet and resolve only when the
      Python side later adopts the same hard-cap contract (a separate, deliberate follow-up).
    • Note for reviewers: the 11 owner_fix_side=python Go snapshots currently hide detail-level
      regressions behind the ratchet; they will be removed once Python aligns.

Test plan

  • New token_hardcap_test.go covers: UNDER_CAP boundary decisions, sentence-boundary re-split (lossless), boundary-less hard token-split (lossless), coordinate-tag preservation, PDF position Plan A, atomic non-text chunks, overlap strict cap, and doc_type_kwd preservation on expanded pieces.
  • Existing merge/strict-cap/overlap/oracle tests updated to the new contract; parity goldens re-baselined with the Go snapshots.
  • bash build.sh --test ./internal/ingestion/... → all green (unit tier).

Notes

  • This is the Go side of the hard-cap contract only. Python token_chunker alignment and the Title/Manual chunker cap wiring are follow-ups.
  • The running-sum merge decision (fix(chunker): decide token merge on running sum, not re-tokenized join #17948) means the re-tokenized text of a joined chunk can drift a few tokens across \n joins (cl100k is non-additive); this matches Python's model and is documented in token.go.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Go token chunker now enforces a unified hard token cap. Oversized text units split losslessly, overlap is trimmed to fit, merge-strategy configuration is removed, and parity fixtures and tests reflect the new behavior.

Changes

Token hard-cap chunking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unified hard-cap merge core
internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token.go, internal/ingestion/component/schema/chunker.go
Oversized text units split at sentence or token boundaries. Text and JSON paths use the unified merge core. Overlap and coordinate metadata remain within the token cap.
Hard-cap behavior validation
internal/ingestion/component/chunker/*_test.go
Tests cover strict caps, lossless splitting, overlap, merge boundaries, metadata, coordinates, non-text units, and text and JSON paths.
Go merge oracle coverage
internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token_merge*_test.go
Parity tests derive expected chunks from Go merge behavior and validate hard-cap overlap and tag handling.
Parity snapshots and known differences
internal/ingestion/component/chunker/testdata/parity/*
Snapshots cover text, Markdown, HTML, and JSON cases. Known-difference rules record Go and Python chunk-count and boundary differences.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8ea30

The PR changes Go chunking to enforce hard token caps, but the current implementation can leave token metadata below the emitted text after separator joins and attach incorrect source coordinates after overlap rollovers. These issues can produce incorrect chunk boundaries and document metadata, so the PR is not merge-ready until the accounting and coordinate handling are corrected.

Trim the overlap prefix in the oracle.

Line 75 builds the raw prefix, but production calls overlapFitPrefix before it prepends that prefix. If the current unit is near the token cap, this oracle keeps text that mergeUnits correctly removes. Add a case that requires prefix trimming.

Proposed oracle fix
 			text := texts[i]
 			cpTk := tk
 			if overlap > 0 && merged[prev].text != "" {
-				vis := []rune(removeTag(merged[prev].text))
-				cut := int(float64(len(vis)) * (100.0 - overlap) / 100.0)
-				if cut < 0 {
-					cut = 0
-				}
-				if cut < len(vis) {
-					text = string(vis[cut:]) + texts[i]
-				}
+				prefix, _ := computeOverlapPrefix(merged[prev].text, overlap)
+				prefix, _ = overlapFitPrefix(prefix, texts[i], target)
+				text = prefix + texts[i]
 				cpTk = tokenizeStr(text)
 			}

1116-1152: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The hard-split and overlap-fit paths re-tokenize repeatedly, which is quadratic on large units.

Three hot spots compound on a single oversized unit:

  • Line 1119 tokenizes the full rest on every loop iteration. Each iteration removes only target tokens, so a unit of N tokens costs O(N²/target) tokenizer work.
  • adjustCutPastTag restarts its tag scan at index 0 on every call (Line 1160) and keeps scanning after the cut position is passed. It also tokenizes text[:e] inside the loop.
  • overlapFitPrefix advances the prefix one rune at a time (Line 1198) and tokenizes suffix+current on each step.

For a multi-megabyte paragraph this dominates chunking time. Two low-risk improvements: return early from adjustCutPastTag once cut <= s, and replace the linear scan in overlapFitPrefix with a binary search over the rune index, since tokenizeStr(suffix+current) decreases monotonically as the prefix shrinks.

♻️ Proposed early return in adjustCutPastTag
 		e := s + 2 + eRel + 2
+		if cut <= s {
+			// The cut is before this tag; no later tag can contain it.
+			return cut
+		}
 		if cut > s && cut < e {

Superseded contract wording remains across the cohort. The PR replaces the merge contract, but several comments, one header block, and one file name still describe the removed behavior or narrate old-versus-new. The coding guidelines require dropping stale design notes and forbid new compatibility wording.

  • internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token.go#L443-L444: state only the current behavior; remove "it no longer stands whole" and the equivalent narration at Lines 480-482, Line 820 ("方案 B"), and the mergeByTokenSizeFromJSON header at Lines 973-976.

  • internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token_strict_cap_test.go#L27-L31: remove the claim that end-to-end tests tolerate slack, because the assertions compare strictly against budget.
  • internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token_oversize_whole_test.go#L23-L28: rename the file to match the split contract, for example token_oversize_split_test.go.

959-965: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Re-tokenize joined text before accepting a merge.

Line 931 checks the sum of unit token counts. Lines 960-965 then add joinSep. On the JSON path, joinSep is "\n" and can add tokens. The emitted chunk can exceed target while TKNums remains under the cap.

Build the joined candidate first. Use tokenizeStr(candidate) for the cap check and for TKNums.

Proposed fix
- startNew := float64(intValue(prev.TKNums)) > threshold || intValue(prev.TKNums)+tk > target
+ candidate := prev.Text + joinSep + ck.Text
+ candidateTK := tokenizeStr(candidate)
+ startNew := float64(intValue(prev.TKNums)) > threshold || candidateTK > target

- prev.Text = prev.Text + joinSep + ck.Text
- prev.TKNums = intPtr(intValue(prev.TKNums) + tk)

Measure overlap positions in visible-text runes.

overlapCut returns an offset after removeTag. overlapTailPositions compares that offset with raw mergeItem.Text rune ranges. A coordinate tag in an earlier item shifts later raw offsets. The overlap can then include positions from text that is not in the visible overlap region.

Use removeTag(it.Text) when calculating total, start, and end. Add a test with tagged text in one source item and an overlap that starts in a later item.

74-92: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add an assertion for exact whitespace preservation.

goMergeGroupsOracle trims each emitted chunk with strings.TrimSpace, and the sanity check removes all remaining whitespace with strings.Fields. The test therefore checks only non-whitespace content order. It passes if oversized splitting drops or rewrites spaces or newlines.

The PR objective states that oversized-unit splitting preserves whitespace. Add whitespace-sensitive cases and compare the exact expected stream after the documented boundary normalization, or state that whitespace is outside this oracle’s contract.

Comment thread internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token.go Outdated
The TokenChunker previously used OVER_CAP semantics (infiniflow#17799): a chunk could
exceed chunk_token_size by one incoming unit, and an oversized unit stood
whole as a single over-budget chunk. This diverged from the TitleChunker's
hard chunk_token_cap introduced in infiniflow#18455.

Enforce a hard cap so no text chunk exceeds chunk_token_size:
- Oversized units are expanded before merging: sentence-boundary split
  first (delimiters preserved, lossless), then a hard token-split fallback
  that never cuts through a @@...## coordinate tag.
- The merge is UNDER_CAP: a projected join that would exceed the target
  starts a fresh chunk instead of merge-then-close.
- The overlap prefix is trimmed to fit so the hard cap holds with overlap>0.
- Expanded pieces keep the source unit's DocType; PDF positions follow
  Plan A (original coordinates on the first piece only).

Remove the now-dead MergeStrategy enum and under_cap toggle; the merge is
always strict.

Token goldens that now diverge from Python (still OVER_CAP) are registered
as go_intentional with owner_fix_side=python.
- Preserve whitespace-only fragments in oversized-unit splitting so the
  concatenated pieces reproduce the unit text exactly (lossless), re-splitting
  when attaching whitespace pushes a piece over the target.
- Build the first expanded piece from cloneChunkDoc so every ChunkDoc field
  survives the split (LayoutType/LayoutNo/ContextAbove/ContextBelow/TagKwd/
  ChunkOrderInt/Extra were previously dropped).
- Strengthen tests: assert the emitted text (not just TKNums) stays within the
  cap; mirror overlapFitPrefix in the merge oracle and add a prefix-trimming
  case; assert source preservation in the oracle sanity test; require a
  space-preserving boundary in the overlap regression test.
- Rename pythonMergeUnitsOracle and token_oversize_whole_test.go to match the
  hard-cap contract; drop redundant nil checks; remove stale OVER_CAP/
  merge-then-close wording and the '方案 B' label from comments.
- Re-baseline four golden snapshots where the leading-newline re-check now
  enforces the cap strictly.

1223-1237: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reduce the per-boundary tokenization cost of the overlap trim.

Line 1228 removes one rune per iteration and tokenizes suffix+current each time. For a large ChunkTokenSize the overlap prefix holds thousands of runes, so one chunk boundary can trigger thousands of full tokenizations. mergeUnits calls this on every new chunk, and hardSplitPiece adds another tokenizeStr(rest) per loop iteration on the same path.

Search the cut point with a binary search over the rune index, or step by a token-estimate delta instead of one rune. Keep the current linear scan as the final refinement if exactness matters.

Comment thread internal/ingestion/component/chunker/token.go
- mergeUnits: add a re-tokenize guard before accepting a merge. joinSep
  (e.g. "\n" on the JSON path) can add tokens beyond the running sum, so the
  emitted text of a merge the running sum deems safe could exceed target.
  The guard re-checks tokenizeStr(candidate) and starts a fresh chunk when the
  joined text itself exceeds target; the running-sum decision and bookkeeping
  stay unchanged (Python parity infiniflow#17948), so this only tightens the hard cap.
- overlapTailPositions: measure item spans on the TAG-FREE visible text so
  offsets line up with overlapCut/overlapFitPrefix; a coordinate tag in an
  earlier item no longer shifts later items' boundaries (overlap no longer
  pulls head coordinates into the tail highlight).
- splitOversizedText: the all-whitespace branch now hard-splits a
  whitespace-only unit whose token count exceeds the target instead of
  emitting it as a single over-cap chunk.
- goMergeGroupsOracle: document that whitespace exactness is outside the
  oracle's contract (pinned by token_oversize_split_test.go and
  token_overlap_test.go).

Tests:
- TestMergeUnits_JoinSepAddsTokens: running sum fits but joined text (with
  "\n") exceeds target -> 2 chunks; plus a matching oracle case
  "joinsep guard fires on actual joined text".
- TestOverlapTailPositions_VisibleTextOffsets: tagged item must not pull head
  coordinates into the overlap tail.
- TestExpandOversizedUnits_AllWhitespaceOverCap: whitespace-only unit over cap
  is hard-split (lossless).
- token_pdfpos_test.go: the partial-overlap fixture declared TKNums=1 for
  5-rune texts; the guard (which validates actual token counts) correctly
  exposed the mismatch. Switched to single-token texts with a target of 9
  (5 item tokens + 4 joinSep tokens) so the 5-merge/partial-overlap scenario
  the test pins stays intact.

Keep TKNums consistent with emitted text.

The actual-text guard can accept a separator join that remains under target. The later running-sum update excludes joinSep, so TKNums becomes lower than the token count of Text. This writes incorrect tk_nums metadata and makes the next merge threshold use an incorrect budget.

Re-tokenize prev.Text after every accepted merge. Remove the Python-parity exception.

Proposed fix
-		prev.TKNums = intPtr(intValue(prev.TKNums) + tk)
+		prev.TKNums = intPtr(tokenizeStr(prev.Text))

As per coding guidelines: “Treat legacy code as liability, not as a compatibility target,” “Prefer one implementation path instead of preserving old and new versions side by side,” and “Do not add new compatibility wording in comments or docs.”

Keep individual coordinate spans after an overlap.

overlapTailPositions needs source-item spans. After an overlapped rollover, mergedItems stores the overlap prefix and current item as one synthetic item with aggregate coordinates. If a later rollover starts inside the current item, this function returns coordinates for the older overlap prefix too.

Store the overlap tail and cur as separate mergeItem values. Add a three-rollover test that verifies the third chunk excludes coordinates from the first chunk when its overlap begins inside the second chunk’s current text.

Proposed fix
-				mergedItems = append(mergedItems, []mergeItem{{Text: cp.Text, PDFPositions: cp.PDFPositions, Positions: cp.Positions}})
