Good catch, these helper-level allocation failures were still being collapsed into successful or no-match results. Addressed in 7e2469a by propagating a structured success/no-match/OOM status through the parser helpers and atomically cleaning partial outputs. Thanks for flagging this. |

CodeRabbit also has an open point that still applies: #740 (review) (the Not blocking this PR: I opened #867 for the remaining unguarded proto entry points, and #868 for the strict-UTF-8 argument-parsing edge case -- you're welcome to pick either up if you're interested.

Description
Several tool-calling output paths in
tool_calling.cppreturnedRAC_SUCCESSeven when their required output allocation failed, while the matching non-empty paths already returnRAC_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY. This makes allocation failures indistinguishable from success:rac_tool_call_parse_with_format— the parse-fallback path returnedRAC_SUCCESSwith aNULLclean_textwhen the fallbackmallocfailed.rac_tool_call_format_prompt_with_format— the empty-definitions path returnedRAC_SUCCESSwith aNULLprompt whenmalloc(1)failed.rac_tool_call_format_prompt_json_with_format— the empty-tools JSON path returnedRAC_SUCCESSwith aNULLprompt whenmalloc(1)failed.rac_tool_call_definitions_to_json— the empty-definitions path returnedRAC_SUCCESSwith aNULLoutput whenmalloc(3)(the"[]"literal) failed.Each now returns
RAC_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORYon allocation failure, matching the existing non-empty-path behavior. No other behavior changes.Type of Change
