What

Adds an optional prompt_suffix to the classifier and escalation judge configs. It is appended to the built-in judge prompt, so users can add domain guidance without replacing the whole prompt. Covers the Rust core (libsy classifier contract and escalation), the runner TOML (config.rs, algorithm.rs), the TOML schema and the routing docs.

Why

Fixes NVIDIA-NeMo#375

Extending a judge prompt currently means rewriting it entirely. A suffix keeps the built-in prompt and its output contract intact.

Notes for reviewers

  • Evidence: the new tests failed before the change. After it, cargo test --locked -p switchyard-libsy -p switchyard-runner passes (337 + 65), and clippy -D warnings and fmt --check are clean.
  • Limits: Rust core and runner TOML only. Python and wire bindings and published base rates are deferred.
  • Start with classifier_contract.rs. feat(routing): support json_object output for custom classifiers NVIDIA-NeMo/Switchyard#877 touches the same files, so expect textual overlap, but it has no prompt_suffix change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Linux setup, dry-run, and uninstall options for running Switchyard as a local Codex service.
    • Added optional prompt guidance for capability and escalation routing.
    • Added a shared format for decision requests and responses.
  • Improvements
    • Escalation confirmation now requires fresh evidence of the same failure category; stale evidence or a decline resets the confirmation streak.
    • Anthropic request settings are preserved when requests are reconstructed.
    • Sensitive upstream error details are no longer included in advisor failure logs.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Make escalation decisions more reliable and add Linux Codex installation support

What Changed

  • Escalation now requires fresh evidence from the same failure category across turns, avoiding switches caused by duplicated commands, stale evidence, or changing problem patterns.
  • Judge inputs include structured tool calls and results without counting duplicate command serialization as separate attempts; unavailable judges preserve the existing confirmation streak.
  • Classifier and escalation prompts can receive optional extra guidance without replacing the built-in prompt, while escalation verdicts now report a category and whether evidence is new.
  • Fail-open advisor errors no longer expose upstream request content in logs or audit records.
  • Anthropic request reconstruction preserves native thinking settings and only applies adaptive thinking when no native setting was supplied.
  • Added provider-neutral decision request and response types, plus a Linux installer, systemd user service, Codex profile, dry-run mode, and uninstall workflow.
  • Added coverage and documentation for the new routing behavior, prompt configuration, Anthropic handling, decision types, and Linux setup.

Impact

✅ Fewer premature escalations from duplicate or stale failure evidence
✅ Redacted advisor failures in logs and audit records
✅ One-command Linux Codex service setup

Review in Change Stack →

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

Walkthrough

This change updates escalation verdicts and confirmation rules, adds classifier prompt suffixes and decision protocol types, preserves Anthropic thinking settings, and redacts advisor error logs. It also adds Linux scripts and Make targets to install and remove a local Codex service.

Changes

Escalation Judge and Router

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verdict contract and judge transcript
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/escalation.rs, crates/libsy/src/prompts/escalation/schema.json
Escalation verdicts now include a category and a fresh-evidence flag. Judge transcript construction removes a serialized command batch only when each command matches a distinct structured assistant tool call.
Category-aware confirmation streak
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/escalation.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/llm_judge.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/tests/observability.rs, crates/switchyard-server/tests/server.rs
The router advances confirmation only for fresh evidence in a non-none category. A category change restarts the streak, declines or stale evidence clear it, and unavailable verdicts preserve it.
Judge guidance and routing documentation
crates/libsy/src/prompts/escalation/*, docs/routing_algorithms/escalation_router_routing.md, docs/reference/toml_schema.md, benchmark/SWE_ATLAS_ESCALATION_REPORT.md
Prompt guidance, routing documentation, and the benchmark report describe the verdict fields, confirmation behavior, and reported benchmark results.

Classifier Prompt Suffix

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prompt suffix composition
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/classifier_contract.rs
The classifier contract supports an optional suffix. It appends a trimmed, nonblank suffix after the base prompt and validates the composed prompt.
Runner configuration and validation
crates/switchyard-runner/src/algorithm.rs, crates/switchyard-runner/src/config.rs
Capability and escalation configurations pass the suffix to the classifier contract. Custom mode rejects a configured suffix; tests cover schema-placeholder validation.
Configuration reference
docs/reference/toml_schema.md, docs/routing_algorithms/llm_classifier_routing.md
The documentation describes suffix handling, blank values, and the custom-mode restriction.

Linux Codex Service

Layer / File(s) Summary
Install command and environment setup
scripts/linux/common.sh, scripts/linux/install.sh, Makefile, INSTALLATION.md, README.md
Shared helpers and install Make targets support normal and dry-run installation. The guide describes prerequisites, environment variables, created files, and uninstall effects.
Server and profile installation
scripts/linux/install.sh
The installer builds and installs the server, creates configuration only if absent, validates it, writes a loopback systemd user service, and writes or backs up the Codex profile.
Uninstall behavior and tests
scripts/linux/uninstall.sh, tests/test_linux_install.py
The uninstall script removes the profile, marked shell aliases, and systemd unit. Tests cover dry runs, invalid inputs, failures, reinstall behavior, and service startup failure.

Decision Protocol Types

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decision request and response types
crates/protocol/src/decision.rs, crates/protocol/src/lib.rs
The protocol crate exposes serializable request, question, answer, and response types for Boolean, choice, and ordered-score decisions, including optional probability and confidence values.

Anthropic Thinking Preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request reconstruction and coverage
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/anthropic/buffered.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/tests/request_translation.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/README.md
Anthropic reconstruction preserves native thinking controls and adds adaptive thinking only when thinking is absent. Tests and documentation cover reconstruction and body-field overrides.

Advisor Error Redaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Safe error summaries and logging test
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/advisor_gate.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/advisor_gate/tests.rs
Fail-open warnings and review-audit errors use safe error summaries. A test verifies that an upstream secret body is absent from captured logs.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0e89d

Fix the installer’s artifact lookup and input validation before merging. Some supported configurations currently fail installation or install an older binary, and uninstall can report success while the server remains running. A narrower verdict-validation gap can also prevent intended escalation.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0e89d

The added local service configuration sends credentials and conversation content to a reusable loopback port. Another local process could impersonate the service during downtime. The documented single-user restriction limits this risk, while recovery and concurrent-request behavior remain partly unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The added Linux workflow persists a credential-bearing client destination without authenticating the local listener. While the service is stopped, another local security principal able to bind the configured port could receive login credentials and conversation content when the profile is used. The documented single-user restriction narrows intended deployment, but does not itself establish listener identity.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The listener-impersonation concern affects credentials and conversation content sent by clients selecting the installed profile. Its prerequisite is local port ownership during service downtime; loopback binding limits the directly exposed listener to the host. Downstream credential permissions were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A local process claims the configured port while the service is stopped; a client then uses the persistent profile and sends authentication and conversation data to that process. The installation guide acknowledges this path. No server-side authentication bypass was established by the inspected evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The deployment is documented for single-user machines, executes as a user service, and writes no static credential into its generated configuration. The profile deliberately omits approval and sandbox overrides. These controls limit authority expansion, but client-side authentication requirements do not authenticate the local recipient.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Service and profile updates are not one atomic transition. Interruption or concurrent installation can leave inconsistent deployment state, and suppressed stop failures can leave a process running after unit removal. These are recovery limitations; they do not independently establish credential disclosure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider authenticating the service recipient before sending credentials, using a protected local transport or verifiable server identity where supported. Serialize installation, replace managed files atomically, and verify shutdown before reporting successful removal.

non-escalating verdicts.

Review comments at @scripts/linux/install.sh:
- Line 28: Resolve SY_HOME to an absolute path before installation performs
filesystem changes, and use that resolved value consistently for filesystem
operations, config validation, and the generated ExecStart; alternatively,
reject relative SY_HOME values before making changes.
- Line 28: Update the SY_HOME validation to reject any backslash, not only a
trailing one, and change its error message accordingly. Update the installation
guide wording to state that backslashes are disallowed.
- Line 32: Update the SY_PORT validation in the installer to reject fixed ports
outside 1–65535 before the build or any file changes. Add invalid-value test
cases for the out-of-range boundaries, including 65536.
- Line 112: Update the cargo build invocation in the install flow to write
artifacts to the same target directory used by the installation step, so Cargo
target-directory overrides cannot make the build and install use different
binaries.

Review comments at @scripts/linux/uninstall.sh:
- Line 55: Update the `systemctl --user disable --now "$SERVICE_NAME"` handling
to distinguish an absent unit from a disable/stop failure, and return an error
before deleting the unit if the service remains active. Add a test where only
this command fails, verifying the uninstall does not report successful removal.

Reject positive verdicts with category none.

The schema accepts category: "none" for every escalate value. The router advances the confirmation streak only when escalate, new_evidence, and a non-none category are all present. A positive verdict with category: "none" can therefore remain on the efficient tier. Require a non-none category whenever escalate is true, through schema or verdict validation.

Review comment at @crates/libsy/src/prompts/escalation/prompt.md at line 12:
Update the escalation verdict schema or validation so `escalate: true` requires
a non-`none` `category`; keep `category: "none"` valid for non-escalating
verdicts.

Resolve SY_HOME to an absolute path before installation.

SY_HOME=.switchyard passes this check. Installation and config validation use the current directory, but the generated ExecStart contains .switchyard/bin/switchyard-server. systemd rejects executable paths that contain slashes but are not absolute. Installation therefore fails after it writes the binary, config, and unit. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Resolve relative paths before any filesystem changes, or reject them and document the restriction.

Review comment at @scripts/linux/install.sh at line 28:
Resolve SY_HOME to an absolute path before installation performs filesystem
changes, and use that resolved value consistently for filesystem operations,
config validation, and the generated ExecStart; alternatively, reject relative
SY_HOME values before making changes.

official systemd documentation ExecStart backslash escaping command line syntax

💡 Result:

The official references are [`systemd.service(5)`](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/man/systemd.service.xml) for `ExecStart=` and [`systemd.syntax(7)`](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/man/systemd.syntax.xml) for quoting and escapes.

In short: `ExecStart=` is **not parsed by a shell**. Its command words are unquoted using systemd’s quoting rules; quotes group an argument and are removed. To put a literal backslash in a quoted argument, double it (`\\`). A trailing backslash joins the next line, discarding the newline. ([github.com](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/man/systemd.service.xml?utm_source=openai))

Those links track systemd’s current `main` documentation; the exact behavior on your machine may depend on its installed systemd version.

- 1: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/man/systemd.service.xml?utm_source=openai

Reject all backslashes in SY_HOME.

An absolute value such as /opt/switchyard\alt passes the current check because it does not end with \. The shell uses the exact path for installation and config validation, but the generated ExecStart line passes the backslash to systemd unescaped. Systemd treats it as an escape, so the service command no longer references the installed path and startup can fail.

The guide currently restricts only a trailing backslash. Update the validation and wording to match the required restriction.

Validate the port range before changing files.

SY_PORT=65536 passes this check, but TCP port numbers cannot exceed 65535. (iana.org) The config-validation command does not receive SY_PORT. The installer therefore replaces the binary and service unit before service startup fails.

Validate a fixed port in 1..=65535 before the build. Add boundary cases to the invalid-value tests.

Use the same artifact directory for building and installing.

If CARGO_TARGET_DIR or Cargo's build.target-dir points elsewhere, this build writes the executable outside $REPO_ROOT/target. Cargo explicitly supports both overrides. (doc.rust-lang.org) Line 116 still installs from $REPO_ROOT/target/release. A clean checkout fails installation; a checkout with an older binary installs that older binary.

Set an explicit target directory for this build, or obtain the executable path from Cargo's artifact output.

Do not report successful removal when stopping the service fails.

This command suppresses every disable/stop failure. For example, a retained drop-in with RefuseManualStop=yes prevents the stop operation. systemd documents that stopping such a unit fails. (raw.githubusercontent.com) The script can then delete the unit, reload successfully, and report “stopped and removed” while the server still runs.

Handle an absent unit separately from a failed stop. If the service remains active, return an error before deleting its unit. Add a test where only disable --now fails; the current test also fails daemon-reload and does not cover false success.

User description

What

Adds an optional prompt_suffix to the classifier and escalation judge configs. It is appended to the built-in judge prompt, so users can add domain guidance without replacing the whole prompt. Covers the Rust core (libsy classifier contract and escalation), the runner TOML (config.rs, algorithm.rs), the TOML schema and the routing docs.

Why

Fixes NVIDIA-NeMo#375

Extending a judge prompt currently means rewriting it entirely. A suffix keeps the built-in prompt and its output contract intact.

Notes for reviewers

  • Evidence: the new tests failed before the change. After it, cargo test --locked -p switchyard-libsy -p switchyard-runner passes (337 + 65), and clippy -D warnings and fmt --check are clean.
  • Limits: Rust core and runner TOML only. Python and wire bindings and published base rates are deferred.
  • Start with classifier_contract.rs. feat(routing): support json_object output for custom classifiers NVIDIA-NeMo/Switchyard#877 touches the same files, so expect textual overlap, but it has no prompt_suffix change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Linux setup, dry-run, and uninstall options for running Switchyard as a local Codex service.
    • Added optional prompt guidance for capability and escalation routing.
    • Added a shared format for decision requests and responses.
  • Improvements
    • Escalation confirmation now requires fresh evidence of the same failure category; stale evidence or a decline resets the confirmation streak.
    • Anthropic request settings are preserved when requests are reconstructed.
    • Sensitive upstream error details are no longer included in advisor failure logs.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Add optional guidance to classifier judge prompts without replacing built-in behavior

What Changed

  • Capability and escalation routes can append custom guidance to the packaged or overridden judge prompt
  • Blank suffixes are ignored, and suffixes are placed before any automatically supplied response schema
  • Custom classifier mode rejects prompt suffixes, while invalid prompts and schema placeholders continue to fail clearly
  • Documentation now explains the new configuration option and its restrictions

Impact

✅ Custom classifier guidance without rewriting built-in prompts
✅ Consistent structured verdict handling with appended guidance
✅ Clear configuration errors for unsupported custom-mode settings
