fix(tool_calling): land the GLM sibling-drop fix, and make the module host-usable - #105
Conversation
`parse_tool_calls_with_pformat` walks `<tool_call>`-family tags, taking a
p-format body where one parses and re-parsing the rest as JSON. Once ANY
tag yields a p-format call the walk never falls back to the canonical
parse, so each remaining tag is on its own - and the JSON path is all it
has. A GLM body (`shell/command>ls -la`) is not JSON, so the call was
silently dropped: the agent lost a tool invocation it had asked for, and
nothing reported it.
Adds a GLM fallback for a tag body the JSON path could not read.
Ordering is load-bearing: the fallback runs ONLY when the JSON path found
nothing. GLM's `name/key>value` shape can occur inside a JSON string value
(`{"command": "cat a/b>c"}`), so an unconditional fallback would count
that body once as JSON and again as GLM, and the agent would execute the
same tool twice. Pinned by
`a_json_body_is_not_double_counted_by_the_glm_fallback`.
Routing the branch through `parse_tool_calls` instead was the obvious
alternative and is wrong. That function forbids the `args`/`parameters`/
`input` argument-key aliases for a bare top-level object, deliberately, so
a plain JSON answer cannot be misread as a tool call. But a `<tool_call>`
tag IS an explicit marker, where the aliases DO apply - so routing through
it would have traded this silent drop for a different one, on aliased
tagged calls. Pinned by `a_tagged_body_still_honours_argument_key_aliases`.
The bug is inherited, not introduced by the relocation: the probe fails
identically against the pre-port OpenHuman code. It was landed as an
`#[ignore]`d test in #102 precisely so it stayed visible; this un-ignores
it.
1823 lib tests pass, no ignores. Clippy and fmt clean.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe parser now uses alias-aware fallback handling for tagged tool calls and parses GLM-style calls when JSON extraction finds none. Tests cover sibling calls, duplicate prevention, and the ChangesTool-call parsing
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The parser fix is localized, but the ordering regression test does not actually exercise the GLM-formatted call, so it would not catch a fallback-order bug that could duplicate tool calls. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to strengthen that test. Possibly related PRs

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make the fallback-order test exercise the GLM parser.
Line 482 starts with a JSON object. parse_glm_style_tool_calls rejects it before it can parse a/b>c as a GLM call. The test will pass even if the GLM fallback runs after successful JSON parsing.
Use a standalone shell/command>... line before the JSON object. Assert that only the JSON shell call remains.
