I am having issue that the parsed array result dropped an element. I tried multiple times and I am still getting the issue. Could some help taking a look?
Please find in the attached screenshot: the second element is missed in parsed

Copy code
class HotelExchangeTask {
id int @description("Unique identifier for the task, start from 1 and increment sequentially.")
step_type HotelExchangeStep @description("Type of operation this task performs")
status TaskStatus @description("Current status of the task")
dependencies int[] @description("List of task IDs that must be completed before this task can start")
} Copy code
class HotelExchangeConversationStateSchema {
hotel_order_number string? @description("The order number of the hotel booking to be modified/exchanged")
hotel_property_id int? @description("The property ID of the current hotel booking")
change_type string? @description("Type of hotel change: extension, change_date, change_city, change_hotel, change_room")
agent_response string @description("Response explaining the exchange options or limitations and current task to execute.")
execution_plan HotelExchangeTask[]? @description("List of tasks to be executed for the hotel exchange")
current_task_id int? @description("ID of the currently active task")
exchange_search_core_criteria HotelSearchCoreCriteria? @description("Core search criteria for the hotel exchange")
exchange_search_additional_criteria HotelSearchAdditionalCriteria? @description("Additional search criteria for the hotel exchange")

10/16/2025, 10:53 PMThanks for that. The problem you are encountering is that the step #2 Validate Exchange is present in LLM response, but not in BAML parsed output, right?
Per Vai's suggestion, it seems like the issue is parser silently failing.
If I'm in your shoes, I would first make the elements in HotelExchangeTask class to optional by adding
?HotelExchangeStepTaskStatus
