Conversation
…rmat DeepSeek models (e.g. DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-Flash) emit DSML syntax (<｜｜DSML｜｜ calls><｜｜DSML｜｜ invoke name=...>...) when asked to invoke tools in text/P-Format mode rather than native API tool calling. Because parse.rs previously only looked for <tool_call> and standard <invoke> tags, DSML calls were treated as conversational text and never executed, resulting in silent dead letters for subagents like integrations_agent (Gmail, Twitter, etc.). Add normalize_dsml_tool_calls to normalize DSML blocks into canonical <tool_call> tags supporting: - Single parameter with arguments/input/parameters envelope - Multiple named parameter tags - Direct JSON bodies inside invoke - Empty argument invocations - Robust handling of Unicode (｜) and ASCII (|) delimiters

Map an empty arguments envelope to {}.
When the parameter value is empty or whitespace-only, DSML_PARAMETER_RE trims it to an empty val_str. This branch then emits {"arguments":{"arguments":""}} in the canonical tool-call payload instead of {}. Add the empty check before JSON parsing.

Use the case-insensitive matcher for the fast path.
The regular expression accepts mixed-case markers, but this check accepts only DSML and dsml. An input such as <||Dsml|| calls> bypasses normalization.
Remove this check, or perform an ASCII case-insensitive search.

Preserve unmatched content in partial DSML blocks.
When DSML_CALLS_BLOCK_RE matches through end-of-input and DSML_INVOKE_RE recovers one invoke, recovered_any replaces the entire match with canonical calls. Trailing narrative or malformed invocation text is lost.
Preserve unmatched ranges in inner while emitting recovered calls, and add a regression test for trailing text without a closing calls tag.

Summary
Recovers DeepSeek DSML tool calls (
<｜｜DSML｜｜ calls><｜｜DSML｜｜ invoke name="...">...</｜｜DSML｜｜ calls>) into canonical<tool_call>tags with JSON payloads.When DeepSeek models (DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-Flash, DeepSeek-Reasoner) are invoked in text/P-Format mode (such as when dynamic Composio toolkits like Gmail, Slack, and Twitter are injected into system prompt text to conserve context tokens), DeepSeek's post-trained chat template emits DSML syntax rather than OpenAI-style function calls.
Because
tinyagents-harness::tool_calling::parsepreviously only looked for<tool_call>variants and standard<invoke>tags, DSML calls were completely missed byparse.rs, parsed as 0 tool calls, and emitted as raw conversation text to the orchestrator/user. This resulted in silent execution failures where tools likeGMAIL_FETCH_EMAILSwere never run.This PR adds
