Pull request overview
This PR extends the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint to support n > 1 by performing server-side fan-out (N independent engine.generate() calls aggregated into one response), and also includes the chat-completions “package migration” refactor (protocol model relocation + top-level re-exports for backward compatibility).
Changes:
- Add server-side fan-out for
n > 1in chat completions, including concurrent collection and streaming interleaving with aggregated usage. - Introduce request validation specific to chat completions, including a cap for
nand non-negativeseedvalidation. - Add unit/integration tests covering
n > 1fan-out behavior plus migration/package invariants.

| ``prompt_tokens`` if provided, else from the first choice's | ||
| ``input_token_len`` since all choices share the same prompt). |

Aligns with the responses/ package layout. Splits the 633-line chat_completions.py into protocol/validation/logprobs/logits_processors/ serving modules. Chat-specific models move to endpoints/chat_completions/protocol.py; shared models stay in the top-level protocol.py with backward-compat re-exports. No behavior change.

Fans a single n>1 request into N independent engine.generate() calls with distinct random_seeds, collating into N choices. Works for both pytorch and turbomind (engine-agnostic handler-layer approach). n==1 keeps the original single-generator fast path. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ancellation Fix round 1 (code-review findings): - Non-streaming fan-out now wraps _fanout_nonstream in try/finally calling cleanup_result_generators so N fan-out sessions are removed on every exit path (success, parse-error, disconnect, generator-error). Previously leaked N sessions per non-streaming n>1 request. - Fan-out sub-sessions are auto-generated (create_session(None)) instead of reusing request.session_id N times, which collided in SessionManager.map_user_session_id on the 2nd call for explicit session_ids. - _fanout_generate_collect now runs _consume as explicit Tasks and cancels pending siblings on first exception (asyncio.gather does not cancel siblings by default), then awaits cancellations so engine generators close. - _consume wraps the generator in aclosing() for prompt closure on cancel. - Non-streaming fan-out now propagates with_cache cache_block_ids / remote_token_ids response fields (mirrors n==1 path). Tests: added explicit-session-id, sibling-cancellation, multi-chunk stream, and session-cleanup assertions. All 12 n_completions tests pass; 81 serve tests green.
