Summary

Fixes #855

Previously, OpenVikingConfig.from_dict() silently dropped unknown top-level config keys without any warning. This made it easy to introduce typos (e.g. dimention instead of dimension) that went completely unnoticed, leading to subtle misconfigurations.

Changes

  • Added unknown field detection in OpenVikingConfig.from_dict() that logs warnings for unrecognized config keys
  • Includes "did you mean" suggestions using difflib.get_close_matches() (matching the pattern already used by ParserConfig.from_dict())
  • 26 lines added (2 imports + 24 lines of detection logic)

Behavior

Before: Unknown fields silently ignored, user has no idea their config was wrong
After: Warning logged with helpful suggestions, e.g.:

WARNING: Unknown config field 'dimention' in OpenVikingConfig — did you mean 'dimension'?

Note: Pydantic's extra="forbid" already catches unknown fields in nested configs (embedding, vlm, etc.). This fix extends that protection to the top-level config dict where unknown keys were previously silently dropped.

The _max_concurrent_semantic variable was stored in QueueManager.__init__
but never used in _start_queue_worker. The Semantic queue worker always
had max_concurrent=1, ignoring the configured vlm.max_concurrent value.

Fixes volcengine#873

The actual code change (using _max_concurrent_semantic instead of hardcoded 1) is correct and directly fixes #873. However, the PR title, description, and linked issue are completely mismatched with the actual change — they describe a config unknown-field warning feature (issue #855) that is not present in this diff. Please update the PR metadata to match the actual change before merging.

[Bug] (blocking) The PR title, description, and linked issue (#855) do not match the actual code change.

Please update the PR title and description to match the actual change, and link to #873 instead of #855.

[Suggestion] (non-blocking) The else branch applies _max_concurrent_semantic to all non-EMBEDDING queues, not just SEMANTIC. Currently only two queue types exist so this works fine, but if new queue types are added later they would silently inherit the semantic concurrency value.

Consider using explicit conditions for clarity:

if queue.name == self.EMBEDDING:
    max_concurrent = self._max_concurrent_embedding
elif queue.name == self.SEMANTIC:
    max_concurrent = self._max_concurrent_semantic
else:
    max_concurrent = 1  # safe default for unknown queue types
