…in cache keys A client-supplied mm uuid is currently used verbatim as the sole cache key (both the P0 processor cache and the engine-side encoder-output cache), with no binding to the payload. Reusing a uuid for a different item silently serves stale cached features: when the processed lengths match, the merge succeeds and the model consumes wrong content with no error anywhere; when they do not, the merge raises and V1 tears down the entire engine tree (vllm-project#55546). We observed the fatal variant in a DP8 deployment after two tool paths minted uuids from overlapping id spaces (vllm-project#55547). Bind the uuid to a cheap content discriminator (audio: sample count; image: pixel count; video: frames x pixels) so different-sized payloads can never share an entry, while same-content items keep deduplicating. The digest is O(1) (blake3 over a short string), preserving the uuid's purpose of skipping the full-payload hash. Items without a discriminator (e.g. cache-resident placeholders) keep the verbatim-uuid behavior. Fixes vllm-project#55547 (length-class collisions; same-length collisions remain possible and are documented in the issue).

WalkthroughAdds content-size discriminators for multimodal items and uses them to bind client-provided UUIDs to processor cache hashes. Audio, image, and video items provide modality-specific sizes. ChangesMultimodal UUID content binding
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change does not fully prevent stale multimodal cache reuse: requests with identical non-empty options can still share a cache key across different payload sizes, potentially causing incorrect output, merge failures, or engine crashes. This should be fixed before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Bind UUIDs to content size when hash factors exist.
When has_hash_factors is true, execution takes the branch before Line 109. That branch hashes the UUID and configuration but omits mm_content_size. Two differently sized items with the same UUID and identical options then get the same cache key. This can reuse stale features and preserve the merge failure this change must prevent.
For every non-None UUID, include mm_content_size when it is available, together with hash_factors. Keep the raw UUID fallback only when no discriminator and no hash factors exist. Add a regression test with identical non-empty options and different item sizes.

This fix makes sense. But since the client is responsible for generating correct UUIDs, I prefer loudly rejecting the request by raising a validation error rather than silently changing the UUID

Purpose
Bind client-provided multimodal UUIDs to a cheap content discriminator (item size) in cache keys, so a UUID reused for a different-sized payload can no longer serve stale cached features.
Problem
When a client supplies a
uuidfor a multimodal item and no hash factors are in play, the uuid is used verbatim as the sole cache key (ProcessorInputs.get_mm_hashes) — at both cache layers: the P0 processor cache and the engine-side encoder-output cache. Nothing binds the uuid to the payload it was first cached under, so a colliding uuid (same id, different bytes) serves stale features under a fresh prompt splice:_merge_multimodal_embeddingsraises and V1 tears down the entire engine tree ([Bug]: One bad multimodal item (feature/placeholder mismatch) kills the entire V1 engine tree instead of failing that request #55546).We observed the fatal variant in a DP8 internal-LB deployment after two tool paths minted uuids from overlapping id spaces for different-length slices of the same audio clip (#55547): a cached 10 s item's features (138 tokens) were served to a request whose prompt spliced 638 placeholder slots, killing all 8 engines and all 8 API servers mid-serving.
Fix
ModalityDataItems.get_item_content_size(index)— new hook returning a cheap, O(1) content discriminator;None(default) means "no discriminator, trust the uuid as before".hash_kwargs(model_id, modality, mm_uuid, mm_content_size)— a blake3 digest over a short string, preserving the uuid's purpose of skipping the full-payload hash.None) keep the verbatim-uuid behavior.Same-length-different-content collisions remain possible (the silent class) — that requires content verification the uuid feature deliberately avoids; see the discussion in #55547.
Test Plan
tests/multimodal/test_processing.py::test_processor_inputs_uuid_bound_to_content_size— different sizes ⇒ different keys; same payload ⇒ same key (dedup preserved); digest format pinned.tests/multimodal/test_processing.py::test_processor_inputs_uuid_verbatim_when_no_content_size—Noneitems keep verbatim uuids.tests/multimodal/test_{processing,hasher,cache}.pyrun locally: failure set identical to pristinemain(the residual failures are environment-unsuitable model-processor tests, unchanged by this PR).Fixes #55547.
