Overview

Documents the logical LLM response-cache key strategy proposed in #818 as a separate docs-only change.

  • I confirm this contribution is my own work, or I have the right to submit it under this project's license.
  • I searched existing issues and open pull requests, and this does not duplicate existing work.

Details

  • Restructures the response-cache key guidance into exact_request and logical strategy sections.
  • Explains that logical ignores string-valued tool descriptions and tool-definition ordering while keeping tool interfaces and all other request fields key-significant.
  • Adds the TOML configuration example and updates the field table and validation guidance.
  • Keeps the existing tool-result cache documentation intact.
  • Breaking changes: none; documentation only.
  • Validation:
    • just docs
    • just docs-linkcheck
    • uv run pre-commit run --files docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/response-cache.mdx

Where should the reviewer start?

Start with the Key Strategies section in docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/response-cache.mdx.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Documented response-cache key strategies: exact_request (default) and logical.
    • Explained how logical matching handles tool descriptions, tool ordering, and other tool-definition differences.
    • Updated configuration and validation guidance to support both strategies.

Restructures the Response Cache page's key section into per-strategy
subsections and documents logical: tool definitions key on a structural
name/parameter fingerprint, so reworded or reordered tools still hit
and only a changed tool interface misses.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The response-cache documentation now defines exact_request and logical key strategies. It describes logical tool canonicalization and updates configuration and validation references to accept both strategies.

Changes

Response cache documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Key strategy definitions and validation
docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/response-cache.mdx
Defines exact_request as the default strategy. Documents logical canonicalization, including description removal and tool sorting. Updates key_strategy configuration and validation to accept both values.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8ad49

The change currently documents a logical cache-key strategy that users cannot configure successfully, causing validation failures when followed. The documentation or corresponding runtime support must be corrected before this PR is merge-ready.

ZhongxuanWang added a commit to zhongxuanwang-nv/NeMo-Relay that referenced this pull request Aug 26, 2026
Address CodeRabbit review on NVIDIA#818.

- Replace the stale "exact-match" wording on `AdaptiveConfig.response_cache`,
  `ResponseCacheConfig`, `KeyOutcome::Key`, and the `response_cache` module
  doc, and add a TOML `key_strategy = "logical"` example to the
  `ResponseCacheConfig` doc comment.
- `ResponseCacheConfig.to_dict()` in Python no longer raises `AttributeError`
  when `key_strategy` is a plain wire string. Enum members serialize through
  `.value`; strings pass through unchanged so unsupported values reach native
  validation with the `response_cache.unsupported_key_strategy` diagnostic,
  matching the Go string alias and the Node.js runtime.
- Add Python regression coverage for the string and unsupported-string paths.

The user-facing docs under `docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/response-cache.mdx`
stay deferred to NVIDIA#819, which is open for exactly that.

#### Overview

Adds a logical key strategy for LLM response caching so description-only edits and tool-definition reordering do not invalidate otherwise compatible cache entries.

- [x] I confirm this contribution is my own work, or I have the right to submit it under this project's license.
- [x] I searched existing issues and open pull requests, and this does not duplicate existing work.

#### Details

- Adds `key_strategy = "logical"`, which recursively removes string-valued tool-description fields and canonically sorts the request's tool definitions before keying. Tool names, parameter schemas, constraints, settings, and every non-tool request field remain key-significant.
- Keeps `logical` and `exact_request` entries in separate keyspaces.
- Exposes typed response-cache key strategy values in Rust, Python, Node.js, and Go, while preserving the existing string wire format and field-specific diagnostics for unknown values.
- Adds unit and end-to-end coverage for description changes, tool ordering, interface changes, built-in tools, parameter enums, and strategy partitioning.
- Documentation is tracked separately in #819.
- Breaking changes: the typed Rust, Python, and Go `ResponseCacheConfig.key_strategy` helpers now use a strategy type instead of a plain string; the JSON/TOML wire values remain unchanged. The Node.js TypeScript surface narrows the field from `string` to the supported strategy union.
- Validation:
  - `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
  - `cargo test -p nemo-relay-adaptive`
  - `just test-rust`
  - `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
  - `just test-python` (686 passed)
  - `just test-node` (391 passed)
  - `just test-go`
  - `uv run pre-commit run --all-files`
  - `uv run pre-commit run --files <changed code files>`

#### Where should the reviewer start?

Start with `build_cache_key` and `structural_tool_schema` in `crates/adaptive/src/response_cache/key.rs`, then review the logical-key cases in `crates/adaptive/tests/unit/response_cache/key_tests.rs`.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Added a logical response-cache key strategy that reuses cached responses when tool descriptions or ordering change without affecting tool behavior.
  * Added typed key-strategy options across Rust, Node.js, Go, and Python integrations.
  * Added configuration support for `exact_request` and `logical`, with exact-request caching as the default.
* **Bug Fixes**
  * Unsupported strategies now produce clearer validation errors listing supported options.
* **Tests**
  * Expanded coverage for serialization, configuration, schema handling, and logical cache-key behavior.
