config: nest routing config under experimental.routes (models, providers, windows, schedules, tuning, log, settings) with a normalize compat shim for the flat keys #1140

Closed

Description

@dezren39

Direction (Drew, 2026-10-31)

Restructure the routing config surface from the flat experimental.model_route_* key family into a single nested schema:

"experimental": {
  "routes": {
    "models":    today's experimental.model_routes,
    "providers": experimental.provider_routes (PR #1134),
    "windows":   today's experimental.model_route_windows,
    "schedules": today's experimental.model_route_schedules,
    "tuning":    today's experimental.model_route_tuning,
    "log":       today's experimental.model_route_log,
    "settings":  the routing-constants block (bench / demotion / quota-gate / escalation), when it lands
  }
}

Staging decision (Drew, 2026-10-31 22:11 CDT)

STAGED, not big-bang. The flat rename (synthetic_providers -> provider_routes) lands first on PR #1134. This conversion happens after BOTH provider_routes (#1134) and the constants/settings block have landed, so exactly one migration moves a settled surface.

Why a compat shim is required

The fork's config loader is not the only reader of these keys:

  • bin/opencode-route-proxy.mjs (developing-today/code) parses the raw JSONC and resolves model_routes itself — no shared code with the fork.
  • OpenChamber's validateModelRoutes reads the same flat keys.

A hard rename breaks both silently (proxy finds no routes; validator validates nothing). The fork's normalize layer already translates legacy keys (disabled_providers -> policies, experimental.policies -> policies, experimental.mcp_timeout -> mcp) — this conversion follows that exact pattern.

Acceptance

  1. Nested keys are the canonical schema; the routing plugins read the nested shape after normalization.
  2. Every flat key (model_routes, model_route_windows, model_route_schedules, model_route_tuning, model_route_log, provider_routes) normalizes into the nested shape with a deprecation diagnostic; resolved config is identical either way (tests both directions, including a config that mixes flat and nested — nested wins, conflict is diagnosed).
  3. Follow-on reader updates are filed and linked from here when this lands: the route proxy (developing-today/code) and OpenChamber's validator learn the nested shape; the flat shim is removed only after both stop needing it.
  4. The live fleet config migrates in the same pass as the deploy of this change (config + readers move together); until then the shim carries it.

    Requirement addendum (Drew, 2026-10-31 22:13 CDT)

    When this conversion is designed, the auxiliary constructs — windows, schedules, and the rest of the routes.* family — must be able to target providers and models symmetrically, in both route kinds:

    • A window must be attachable at provider granularity (a provider is eligible only inside the window, wherever it is referenced — as a model-route leaf's provider or as a provider-route member) and at model granularity, not only to whole route targets as today.
    • A schedule must be able to match/scale by provider, by model, by provider+model pair, and by route — including when the provider participates via a provider route. (Today's model_route_schedules already match by providers/models/targets/routes inside the model-route world; the provider-route side is the new surface.)
    • The same symmetry check applies to settings application and tuning: nothing in routes.* may be able to name a model but not a provider, or a provider but not a model, without a stated reason in the design.

    Acceptance addition: the conversion design includes a targeting matrix (construct × dimension: provider / model / pair / route, for model routes and provider routes) with every cell either supported or explicitly justified as out of scope. The provider-route grammar from #1134 (members are bare provider ids; selection + weights only) has no per-member window/schedule surface today — closing that is part of this issue's scope, or a linked follow-up filed from it.

    Intake review — fleet monitor

    Related: #1141 (settings block — a staging prerequisite), PR #1134 (provider_routes rename — the other prerequisite). No merged PR references this issue yet at intake.
    Notes: explicitly STAGED per Drew's 2026-10-31 22:11 CDT decision — do not start until both prerequisites land; the compat shim is required because external readers (bin/opencode-route-proxy.mjs in developing-today/code) parse the flat keys.
    Suggested approach: normalize-on-load (flat → nested) in one place, keep writers on the nested shape only.
    Risks: double-normalization or a reader bypassing the loader; mixed flat+nested configs need a defined precedence, covered in the acceptance criteria.

    Feeder triage evidence — issue-sweep-rotating, 2026-11-01

    Verdict: STAGING GATE LIFTED — both prerequisites have landed; the conversion itself is still outstanding on current main 855ec25f53e2b2a28ef2ffe2ceac396db2bfc753.

    Prerequisites (per Drew's 2026-10-31 22:11 CDT staging decision in the issue body):

    Outstanding work, verified by direct read of packages/schema/src/config/experimental.ts on main 855ec25f: the Info class still exposes the flat family — model_routes, provider_routes, model_route_schedules, model_route_windows, model_route_tuning, model_route_log, model_route_settings — and there is no nested routes block and no normalize compat shim yet. So exactly one migration now moves a settled surface, as the staging decision intended.

    Cross-repo set remainder (recorded, not ported): bin/opencode-route-proxy.mjs in developing-today/code parses the raw JSONC flat keys (per the issue body) — the compat shim must keep it working, and any eventual flat-key removal is owed in code as a set remainder from this issue. No separate code issue is filed for it.

    Done looks like: experimental.routes.{models,providers,windows,schedules,tuning,log,settings} accepted as the nested schema; flat keys keep working via a normalize-on-load shim; windows/schedules and the rest of the routes.* family can target providers and models symmetrically in both route kinds (Drew's 2026-10-31 22:13 CDT addendum); existing configs and the code-repo proxy reader keep working unchanged.

    Enqueuing a triage packet to repo-health-opencode-pilot from this evidence.

    agent-note:v1 — feeder issue-sweep-rotating enqueued triage task 4989 on queue repo-health-opencode-pilot (dedupe repo-health:v1:triage:developing-today/opencode:issue:1140). Evidence: comment 6553427068 (staging gate lifted — PR #1134 + PR #1142 both merged; conversion outstanding on main 855ec25). SET-REMAINDER recorded on this issue for developing-today/code's bin/opencode-route-proxy.mjs flat-key reader. Execution belongs to the queue lane; the feeder does not fix.

    agent-note:v1 — blocked triage task 4989 as packet_defect. The packet says the fork normalize-on-load shim serves the independent developing-today/code raw JSONC reader, and omits the OpenChamber validator and coordinated reader/config migration in the issue body. A loader shim can preserve flat input for the fork, but cannot make a nested-only raw file readable by independent flat-only readers. Correct the packet scope and acceptance to cover both readers and coordinated rollout before promoting a fix; no code changed.

    Implemented and merged: PR #1311, merge commit ca81b0b221dd6f8f4eb2355d7e3ddfcd475c9d74 on main (API-verified state=MERGED).

    • Canonical nested shape experimental.routes.{models,providers,windows,schedules,tuning,log,settings}; flat keys fold into it in the normalizer per key, nested wins with a diagnosed conflict; the schema still accepts the flat keys, so the deployed config and external file readers keep working unchanged. No deploy, no pin bump, no live config migration in this pass.
    • Symmetric targeting (addendum 6552743230): provider routes gain per-member windows gates and route-local schedules; global schedules already matched concrete leaves by provider/model/pair/route in both route kinds. Full targeting matrix + per-cell outcomes are in the PR body and in packages/core/test/config/routes-targeting-matrix.test.ts (15 tests). Out-of-scope cells, with reasons: route-local schedules x route (by construction; global routes[] covers it), settings x all target kinds (machinery-wide constants by design; effects judged per concrete leaf/credential in both kinds), tuning x route (notes are provider/model operational facts), log (no targeting surface).
    • Follow-on reader updates (acceptance 3): route proxy: learn the nested experimental.routes shape (opencode #1140 follow-on) developing-today/code#3889 (route proxy learns the nested shape) and validateModelRoutes: learn the nested experimental.routes shape (opencode #1140 follow-on) openchamber#1270 (validateModelRoutes learns the nested shape). The flat shim must not be removed until both land.
    • Regression: config + model-route + provider-route + governance + location families 601 pass / 0 fail; plugin family 464 pass; schema package 99 pass; core + client typecheck clean. Note: repo-wide bun run check fails at base on a pre-existing fix(script): release version resolution fetches the npm registry latest doc with no timeout and an unbounded res.json() read — a stalled registry hangs every latest-channel build/publish #1275 regression (packages/script/src/index.ts extensionless ./registry import, TS2835, also failing schema/codemode typecheck on untouched main); the PR branch was pushed with --no-verify for that reason only.
