⚡ Accurate Token Estimation Logic#118
Hidden character warning
Conversation
🎯 What Replaced the naive character-count token estimation logic (len // 4) with a regex-based weighted heuristic. The new logic uses `re.findall(r'[a-zA-Z0-9]+|[^\s]', text)` to segment text into words, punctuation, and multi-byte characters, applying specific weights (1.2 for words, 0.4 for punctuation, 0.35 for CJK/Emoji) to achieve higher accuracy. 💡 Why The previous logic significantly under-estimated code prompts (leading to context overflows) and over-estimated CJK/Emoji/Whitespace (leading to inefficient routing). The new approach maintains zero external dependencies while improving accuracy to within ±11% for all benchmark content types. ✅ Verification - Added `router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.py` with benchmarks for Prose, Code, CJK, JSON, and Emojis. - Updated `router/tests/test_estimate_prompt_tokens.py` to align with new weights. - All 17 tests in `router/tests/` pass. ✨ Result Estimation error reduced from up to 300% down to <11% across all major content categories. dashboard metrics and context-window clamping are now substantially more reliable.

Code Review
This pull request replaces the simple character-division token estimation method with a more sophisticated regex-based heuristic (_count_tokens_heuristic) that balances English words, punctuation, and multi-byte characters. It also updates the corresponding unit tests and adds a script to verify token accuracy. The review feedback suggests a performance optimization to eliminate the Python loop and character-by-character checks in the heuristic function by counting the occurrences of each category directly using optimized regex patterns, which would significantly reduce CPU overhead and latency.

Performance Optimization: Eliminate Python Loop in Token Estimation
The current implementation of _count_tokens_heuristic uses re.findall to extract all tokens and then iterates over them in a Python loop. For large prompts (e.g., 10k+ tokens), this Python loop and the character-by-character checks (any(ord(c) > 127 for c in t)) introduce significant CPU overhead and latency.
We can completely eliminate the Python loop and perform the categorization entirely in C-level regex by counting the occurrences of each category directly. This yields a ~10x speedup while producing the exact same token counts.
- English words:
[a-zA-Z0-9]+ - Non-ASCII characters (CJK/Emoji):
[^\s\x00-\x7F](non-space characters outside the ASCII range) - ASCII punctuation/symbols:
(?=[\x00-\x7F])[^a-zA-Z0-9\s](ASCII characters that are not alphanumeric or whitespace)

Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:
- In
_count_tokens_heuristic, the multi-byte branch adds a flat 0.35 per regex token regardless of its length; if the intent is to weight CJK/emoji per character, consider multiplying bylen(t)so longer sequences don’t get undercounted. - The
router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.pyscript mutatessys.path/env vars and prints instead of asserting; if this is meant as a manual benchmarking tool rather than an automated test, consider moving it out of thetestspackage or renaming to avoid being picked up by the test runner.

**suggestion:** Consider returning an integer from the heuristic or documenting the float semantics more explicitly.
Since this helper is described as a token counter but returns a float that is later coerced to `int(...)`, the current behavior may be surprising and introduce subtle bias (e.g., 1.9 → 1). Either adjust this helper to return an integer (e.g., via rounding) or clearly document that it returns a weighted, non-integer score that will be truncated downstream.
Suggested implementation:
```python
def _count_tokens_heuristic(text: str) -> int:
"""Heuristically estimate token count using regex splitting and weighted categories.
Returns an integer by rounding the weighted total, so callers can treat this as
an approximate token count without needing additional casting.
"""
if not text:
return 0
total = 0.0
# Match sequences of alphanumeric characters OR single non-space characters
tokens = re.findall(r'[a-zA-Z0-9]+|[^\s]', text)
for t in tokens:
if t.isalnum() and t.isascii():
total += 1.2 # English word average tokens
elif any(ord(c) > 127 for c in t):
total += 0.35 # CJK/Emoji characters (multi-byte, so we discount length)
else:
total += 0.4 # Punctuation/Symbols
return int(round(total))
```
If there are downstream calls that currently do `int(_count_tokens_heuristic(...))`, they can be simplified to use the integer return value directly, but this is optional since `int(int_value)` is a no-op.

🎯 What - Refactored token counting logic into a private helper `_count_tokens_heuristic` to reduce duplication. - Optimized the non-ASCII check by using `ord(t[0]) > 127` instead of `any(ord(c) > 127 for c in t)`, as the regex guarantees `t` is a single character when it contains non-ASCII characters. - Moved `import re` to the top of the file for better stylistic compliance. - Retained `router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.py` as a benchmark utility for future weight tuning. 💡 Why Addressing nitpicks from the code review to improve maintainability and performance of the token estimation heuristic. ✅ Verification - Ran full test suite in `router/tests/`: all tests pass. - Verified benchmark accuracy remains within ±11% error margin. ✨ Result Cleaner, more maintainable code with optimized character checks while preserving the improved accuracy for mixed content types.

- Around line 75-79: The token estimation in the text parsing logic undercounts
long ASCII runs because the `re.findall` match is treated as a single token and
`total += 1.2` is applied regardless of length. Update the branch in the
tokenizer path around `tokens`/`t.isalnum()` so ASCII alphanumeric runs are
costed based on their character length (or a length-aware estimate) instead of a
constant, especially for long identifiers, hashes, base64, and minified code.
In `@router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.py`:
- Around line 54-64: The verification script currently never fails because
`all_passed` is never flipped to false and the `__main__` flow still exits
successfully even when `verify_token_accuracy.py` finds out-of-range errors.
Update the loop in `verify_token_accuracy.py` so the failure path actually marks
the run as failed when a case exceeds the threshold, and make the script’s main
entrypoint return a non-zero exit status based on that result. Use the existing
`all_passed`, `test_cases`, and `estimate_prompt_tokens` flow to keep the check
as a real benchmark/regression gate.
In `@test_pie_chart_gradient.py`:
- Around line 5-8: The mock_stats fixture is patching router.main.stats with a
MagicMock, which makes every stats[...] lookup behave the same and weakens the
test for get_pie_chart_gradient(). Update the fixture to provide a real mapping

router.main.get_pie_chart_gradient() reads the expected stats["tool_tokens"]

Code Review
This pull request replaces the naive character-count token estimation logic in the triage router with a more accurate, regex-based weighted heuristic (_count_tokens_heuristic) that handles mixed content types like code, CJK text, and emojis. It also introduces a new benchmarking script (benchmark_tokens.py) to verify estimation accuracy and updates get_pr_status.py to support both string and sequence commands. The review feedback suggests optimizing performance by compiling the regular expressions at the module level and improving robustness by adding a type check to ensure block text is a string before running the heuristic.

Add a type check to ensure that block.get("text") is actually a string before passing it to _count_tokens_heuristic. If a client sends a malformed request where the text block contains a non-string value (such as an integer, list, or dict), it would otherwise cause a TypeError and crash the router with a 500 Internal Server Error.
