TL;DR

Simplified the cloneBifrostReq logic by replacing deep, field-by-field cloning with shallow struct copies, and added tests to verify the original request is not mutated across primary and fallback attempts.

What changed?

The overly granular cloning functions (cloneTextCompletionParameters, cloneChatToolChoice, cloneChatWebSearchOptions, cloneResponsesToolChoice, cloneResponsesTool, cloneOrderedMap, cloneAnyValue, etc.) have been removed. In their place, the code now performs a shallow struct copy (cloned := *params) and only deep-copies the specific fields that are actually written to during the plugin's PreLLMHook — namely Reasoning, ToolChoice, and Tools. This means fields the plugin never mutates are shared between the original and the clone, which is safe and avoids unnecessary allocations.

Two new tests were added to requestcopy_test.go:

• TestCloneBifrostReq_OriginalUntouched — asserts that PreLLMHook does not mutate the caller's original request.
• TestCloneBifrostReq_FallbackSeesOriginalTools — simulates core's fallback path to confirm that tool rewrites applied for a primary provider do not bleed into a subsequent fallback attempt.

How to test?

Run the new tests directly:

go test ./plugins/compat/... -run TestCloneBifrostReq

Why make this change?

The previous implementation cloned every nested field defensively, including many that the plugin never modifies. This added significant complexity and maintenance burden. Since the plugin only writes to Reasoning, ToolChoice, and Tools, only those fields need to be isolated in the clone. The new tests explicitly guard against the mutation scenarios that motivated the original deep-copy approach, ensuring correctness without the overhead.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved request copying to ensure modifications made during processing do not alter the original request.
  • Preserved tool settings, cache controls, tool choices, and nested tool information when fallback requests are created.

• Tests

  • Added coverage verifying original requests remain unchanged and fallback requests retain the caller’s configuration.

Walkthrough

Request cloning now uses shallow copies with targeted deep copies for fields modified during compatibility processing. Obsolete recursive clone helpers were removed. New tests verify original request preservation and fallback behavior.

Changes

Request Copy-on-Write

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Targeted request parameter cloning plugins/compat/requestcopy.go	Completion parameters use direct struct copies. Chat and Responses parameters selectively copy reasoning, tool-choice, tools, and nested response-tool data. Obsolete recursive cloning helpers and dependencies were removed.
Copy-on-write compatibility tests plugins/compat/requestcopy_test.go	Tests verify that PreLLMHook does not mutate the original request and that fallback processing preserves tools, cache-control, tool choice, and nested namespace tools.

Compatibility preprocessing can alter the original chat or responses request before a fallback attempt reuses it, dropping cache-control, signatures, or content blocks unexpectedly. Preserve the input hierarchies before merging.

The chat clone still shares Input and its content blocks with the original request. When cache-control support is absent, preprocessing removes cache points through that shared hierarchy, so a primary attempt changes the request later used by fallback. Deep-copy the chat input/content-block structure before preprocessing.
