get_char_offset_for_tokens() counted UTF-8 lead bytes and returned the cursor one byte past the last one, so the offset landed inside a multi-byte character. Callers cut there with pnstrdup() and nothing downstream validates the encoding, so the fragment was stored -- the same fault as 358cbe8, one layer up, and length() raises on the row in the same way. enable_vectorization() did not get that far: it aborted partway through "Processing existing rows".

pg_mbcharcliplen() clips to the last character that fits entirely, and reads the server encoding rather than assuming UTF-8. The read is bounded at what the wanted characters can occupy, so it still costs one chunk rather than the whole remaining document, and that product is clamped into an int because the SQL entry point takes an unbounded chunk_size. chunk_by_tokens(), split_oversized_chunks() and elements_to_chunks_simple() all reach the boundary through this one function.

Only reachable with pgedge_vectorizer.strip_non_ascii off, which is why it went unnoticed: the default turns every non-ASCII byte into a space, leaving nothing multi-byte to cut. The new test covers both settings, the default having had none at all, across two-, three- and four-byte characters and all three strategies. Text with ASCII spaces already passed, since a found break point is a space and a space cannot occur inside a multi-byte sequence; it is kept as a control.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@mason-sharp, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 48 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The tokenizer now uses PostgreSQL multibyte support to calculate bounded offsets and clip them at complete characters. A new regression test covers non-ASCII stripping, two-, three-, and four-byte UTF-8 characters, overlap, hybrid and markdown strategies, vectorized reads, and configuration restoration. The Makefile includes the new test in the pg_regress suite.

get_char_offset_for_tokens() counted UTF-8 lead bytes and returned the
cursor one byte past the last one, so the offset landed inside a
multi-byte character.  Callers cut there with pnstrdup() and nothing
downstream validates the encoding, so the fragment was stored -- the
same fault as 358cbe8, one layer up, and length() raises on the row in
the same way.  enable_vectorization() did not get that far: it aborted
partway through "Processing existing rows".

pg_mbcharcliplen() clips to the last character that fits entirely, and
reads the server encoding rather than assuming UTF-8.  chunk_by_tokens(),
split_oversized_chunks() and elements_to_chunks_simple() all reach the
boundary through this one function.

The read is bounded at what the wanted characters can occupy, so it
still costs one chunk rather than the whole remaining document.  That
byte span and the character limit saturate at INT_MAX independently, in
int64 so the product cannot wrap: the SQL entry point takes an unbounded
chunk_size, and shrinking the character limit to keep the byte span in
range would return fewer characters than were asked for and cut the
chunk short.  A text datum cannot exceed 1GB, so a saturated byte bound
just means "to the end".

Only reachable with pgedge_vectorizer.strip_non_ascii off, which is why
it went unnoticed: the default turns every non-ASCII byte into a space,
leaving nothing multi-byte to cut.  The new test covers both settings,
the default having had none at all, across two-, three- and four-byte
characters and all three strategies.  Text with ASCII spaces already
passed, since a found break point is a space and a space cannot occur
inside a multi-byte sequence; it is kept as a control.

Verified the fix against all call sites (chunking.c, hybrid_chunking.c) and built + ran the new multibyte_chunking test plus full regression/TAP suite locally — all pass. CodeRabbit's integer-clamping finding was already addressed in the current commit.

- Add the [1.1-beta1] changelog section, backfilling entries for #47-#51,
  #55, #57, #58 and #64 that had accumulated in [Unreleased] without a
  changelog entry
- pgedge_vectorizer.control's default_version stays '1.1'; this release
  pipeline keeps pre-release maturity in the git tag/packaging channel
  rather than the extension version, so no SQL upgrade script is needed
  for the beta suffix itself
