/*
 * vllm.h — the vllm.cpp stable C ABI (libvllm).
 *
 * ORIGINAL packaging layer — NOT a 1:1 upstream mirror. vLLM ships no C ABI;
 * this header is the llama.cpp-style (see llama.h) handle-based C surface over
 * the C++ LLMEngine, so downstream FFI consumers (LocalAI via purego/cgo, any
 * C/C++ host) can load + drive vllm.cpp without the C++ headers. Recorded as a
 * deviation in .agents/porting-inventory.md §9 (C-ABI packaging, alongside the
 * vt:: runtime and the cpp-httplib transport).
 *
 * ── ABI contract ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * - PURE C: this header compiles as C (C11) and as C++. It uses only C types —
 *   opaque handle typedefs, POD param/result structs, primitive scalars and
 *   `const char*`. No C++ leaks across the boundary.
 * - NO-THROW: every entry point catches all C++ exceptions internally and maps
 *   them to a `vllm_status`; nothing throws across the ABI. On a non-OK status,
 *   `vllm_last_error()` returns a human-readable message (thread-local).
 * - OWNERSHIP is documented per pointer below. In short: the caller frees
 *   heap `char*` returned in results (via vllm_string_free / vllm_completion_free)
 *   and frees engine handles (via vllm_engine_free); `const char*` returns
 *   (finish_reason, vllm_last_error, vllm_version) point to storage the library
 *   owns and the caller must NOT free.
 * - Scope (M3.5 Task 1): load a model + blocking completion. Streaming callback
 *   + sampled generation land in Task 2; the shared/static lib packaging + CLI
 *   + dlopen smoke test in Task 3.

/* ── ABI version ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * Bumped on any incompatible change to the structs / signatures below. A
 * consumer can compare this against vllm_abi_version() to detect a mismatch
 * between the header it compiled against and the loaded library.
 * v2: structured-output constraint fields appended to vllm_sampling_params
 * (structured_json / structured_regex / structured_choice / structured_grammar /
 * structured_json_object).
 * v3: OpenAI-style chat entry points (vllm_chat / vllm_chat_stream) — chat
 * templating, tool_choice lowering, and streaming tool-call parsing run
 * ENGINE-SIDE.
 * v4: tool_parser field appended to vllm_model_params — selects the tool-call
 * v5: vllm_model_params.reasoning_parser (chain-of-thought split selection).
 * parser for the chat entry points, or AUTO-detects it from the chat template
 * when NULL/empty.
 * v6: vllm_model_params.speculative_config — the speculative-decoding selection
 * as the JSON object vLLM takes (e.g. '{"method":"mtp"}'); NULL/empty disables
 * speculation (the byte-identical default).
 * v7: vllm_model_params.enable_prefix_caching — tri-state APC toggle
 * (0=model default, 1=on, 2=off). The server's --enable-radix-attention is a
 * documented alias for the ON state (RadixAttention is fused into our APC).
 * v8: vllm_sampling_params.logits_processor / logits_processor_user_data — a
 * per-request custom logits-processor callback (vllm_logits_processor) invoked
 * each decode step to modify the request's logits before sampling. Mirrors
 * vLLM's SamplingParams.logits_processors and SGLang's CustomLogitProcessor.
 * NULL => no processor (the byte-identical default).
 * v9: vllm_model_params.max_num_batched_tokens / scheduling_policy /
 * kv_transfer_config, and tokenizer_config_path is now honoured. These close the
 * gap between what the bundled OpenAI server can configure and what an embedder
 * reaches through this ABI: the chunked-prefill token budget, the scheduler
 * admission policy, and the external KV connector (LMCache `lm://`). Every one is
 * inert at its default, so zero-filling the struct growth keeps the pre-v9
 * engine byte-identical. Malformed speculative_config / kv_transfer_config
 * documents now report VLLM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT (a caller error) rather than
 * VLLM_ERR_MODEL_LOAD, matching what v6 already documented.
 * v10: vllm_model_params.enable_jump_forward — a tri-state toggle for
 * jump-forward decoding (0=default/env-resolved-OFF, 1=on, 2=off), the SGLang
 * grammar-speed subset (ENG-SGLANG-BEHAVIOR-FLAG SW3). Appended at the END of
 * vllm_model_params, after the v9 fields. The VT_ENABLE_JUMP_FORWARD env var,
 * when set, overrides this field. 0 (the default) is the byte-identical
 * default, so zero-filling the struct growth keeps a v9 engine byte-identical.
 * Scheduler policy (incl. SGLang's cache-aware LPM) is selected through the v9
 * string field .scheduling_policy = "lpm" — there is no separate int knob. */

/* ── Chat completions (ABI v3) ────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * OpenAI-style chat entry points over the SAME engine handle. The heavy
 * lifting runs ENGINE-SIDE, exactly like the bundled OpenAI server:
 *   - request_json is one OpenAI /v1/chat/completions request object
 *     (messages, tools, tool_choice, temperature, top_p, max_tokens, stop,
 *     ...). The `model` and `stream` fields are ignored (the handle's model
 *     serves; streaming is selected by the entry point).
 *   - The chat template is applied by the engine's renderer. It is resolved
 *     at vllm_engine_load: <model_dir>/tokenizer_config.json `chat_template`,
 *     or the GGUF `tokenizer.chat_template` metadata for a .gguf model; when
 *     neither exists, a plain "<role>: <content>" join is used.
 *   - tools + tool_choice lower to the engine's structural-tag DECODE
 *     constraint: `auto` is LAZY (the ENGINE decides when a tool engages —
 *     text is unconstrained until the model emits the tool trigger, then the
 *     call is grammar-constrained); `required`/named force a call; `none`
 *     disables. Tool-call output is parsed engine-side (streaming-stateful
 *     Hermes-style parser) into structured tool_calls deltas.
 *
 * vllm_chat: BLOCKING non-streaming completion. On VLLM_OK, *out_response_json
 * is a heap NUL-terminated ChatCompletionResponse JSON object (choices with
 * message.content / message.tool_calls, finish_reason "stop"/"length"/
 * "tool_calls", usage) that the CALLER frees via vllm_string_free. On error,
 * *out_response_json is NULL and vllm_last_error() is set (a malformed
 * request_json maps to VLLM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT). */

 * chunk the callback is invoked once more with finished == true and an empty
