What

Serve Decision Model calls through TypeSafe's System One API from both run and decide.

Why

The HTTP host currently rejects decision calls. This connects the existing decision step and capability classifier to Jev.

Closes SWITCH-1686.

How

  • Add RoutedDecisionClient and SystemOneClient, registered by target in ClientRouter.
  • Keep System One mappings private to the client: context becomes state; Boolean, Choice, and Score questions map to their provider forms. Preserve returned probabilities, confidence, model identity, and available usage.
  • Dispatch through the existing serve callback. Use a configured timeout and one HTTP attempt; return failures to the algorithm for its fallback policy.
  • Record decision-call latency, outcome, and usage through existing observers, server stats, and Relay metrics.

Notes for reviewers

Start with system_one.rs, then decision dispatch in run.rs. Runner configuration and Python bindings are separate work.

One new mock-server test covers all three question types and the capability classifier through run and decide, including malformed JSON and HTTP 503 fallback. One existing observation test is adapted to the shared event buffer.

Validation

  • 47 focused tests passed: capability classifier (27), client run::tests (18), server stats (1), and Relay observations (1).
  • Clippy on affected crates with warnings denied, strict Rustdoc, formatting, and diff checks passed.
  • Four live calls passed against jev-latest (reported model: jev-1.13.0):
Check Result
Mixed Boolean / Choice / Score All decoded; ordered score probabilities and usage preserved
run, cutoff 0.0 Advantage probability 0.96 → capable
run, cutoff 1.0 Advantage probability 0.96 → efficient
decide, cutoff 0.4 Advantage probability 0.96 → capable; no final LLM call

Live checks used synthetic input and mocked final LLM responses. They verify the integration, not classifier accuracy. Only focused tests were run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for System One as a decision-making service, including translation of decision requests and responses.
    • Decision requests can be routed to separately configured services, with missing configurations and service failures reported.
  • Improvements
    • Decision-call activity is now recorded separately from other model calls, including model, outcome, duration, and usage details.
    • Decision calls are included in run statistics and routing logs.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.

Walkthrough

The change adds a System One client for typed decision requests, routes decision calls through ClientRouter, and records decision-call observations in relay events and server statistics.

Changes

Typed Decision Calls

Layer / File(s) Summary
System One decision client
crates/protocol/src/client.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/Cargo.toml, crates/libsy-llm-client/src/client.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/src/lib.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/src/system_one.rs
Adds the RoutedDecisionClient contract and SystemOneClient. The client encodes typed requests, sends authenticated HTTP calls, and translates responses and errors. The crate exports SystemOneClient and ModelCallObservation.
Decision routing and observations
crates/libsy-llm-client/src/observation.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/src/run.rs
Adds decision-client registration and routing to ClientRouter. Decision calls produce typed observations. Integration tests cover successful responses and invalid-response or upstream failures.
Decision-call event and statistics handling
crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/src/runtime.rs, crates/switchyard-server/src/lib.rs
The relay plugin emits decision calls with a distinct mark name. The server records decision-call results and usage in classifier statistics and routing logs.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 00e9f

Invalid provider answers can be recorded as successful decision calls. Validate them before returning a response; the established impact is bounded, so this does not appear to block merging.

A rabbit reads the questions clear,
And sends them on their typed request.
System One returns its answer,
While call marks note each journey west.
The router logs the measured flow,
Then bounds away through fields of snow.

Validate System One answer kinds and values at the translation boundary.

SystemOneClient::call accepts mismatched answer kinds, undeclared choice IDs, and out-of-range score values. The current decision classifier rejects a wrong kind, a missing route, or an invalid advantage probability through its unavailable path. However, it ignores Choice.selected, so an undeclared choice with a valid advantage probability can still reach normal routing. The client also records that response as a successful decision call.

Reject these invalid responses with LlmClientError::ResponseTranslation before returning DecisionResponse.
