Starting the typed-decision layer — mapping existing work and missing pieces.
Formatting and lints pass — now running the full test suite.
A pre-existing test broke — tracing the faulty prompt content.
My changes didn't touch that area — checking if the failure exists upstream.
Failure analysis points outside my scope — verifying the remaining coverage.
Test debug is inconclusive — trying a direct reproduction.
Root cause is environmental (read-only state dir), not from these changes — now confirming my feature tests pass.
Work already complete on branch — verified, no new commit needed.

  • Scope: decide layer + shadow log/report + JevRouter + agent_model + skill_rerank + SDD judge shadow, all opt-in/fail-open. Working tree clean at 50f4fed.
  • Tests: cargo fmt --check clean; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets clean; targeted suites pass — decide 43, jev_router 10, agent_model 7, skill_rerank 11, judge_shadow 6, all 0 failed.
  • Full cargo test --workspace: 2433 passed, 1 failed — the single failure is mcp_prompts::optimize_review_returns_full_skill_body, a pre-existing environment issue (test writes real state dir, sandbox returns read-only FS er30; same code on master, untouched by this branch). Not caused by these changes.
  • Concern: same caveats as plan — hook/judge paths only exercised against fake backends; Cloudflare provider unverified live.

Opened by opencode on flared:51bb8de6c33b for item #338 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional AI-assisted prompt routing and skill selection, with keyword-based behavior retained as a fallback.
    • Added shadow comparisons for routing and workflow decisions, with summaries available through the CLI.
    • Added a CLI connection check that reports response time, token usage, cost, and model.
    • Routing can use the detected agent model to make model-aware suggestions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a typed Jev decision client with OpenRouter and Cloudflare support, shadow logging and reporting, model-aware routing, skill reranking, and shadow comparison for workflow judge decisions. It also adds agent model detection and CLI commands for checking the decision connection and viewing reports.

Adds typed questions and responses, provider-specific request construction, environment/vault/dotenv credential lookup, and HTTP calls with timeout and error handling.
Shadow records and CLI reporting

Adds JSONL shadow records, log rotation, per-site summaries, and decide ping and decide report commands.
Model-aware Jev routing
src/agent_model.rs, src/optimize/jev_router.rs, src/optimize/mod.rs, src/optimize/runtime.rs, src/hook.rs, src/main.rs
Detects the agent model from hook data, transcript, or Claude configuration. Adds the jev router, which logs comparisons and applies confidence-gated nudges while retaining keyword fallback behavior.
Skill reranking integration
src/skill_rerank.rs, src/hook.rs, src/main.rs
Adds shadow and apply modes for Jev skill picks. Hook retrieval can request expanded candidates and use a separately fetched baseline.
Workflow judge shadow comparison
src/work_item_pipeline/judge_shadow.rs, src/work_item_pipeline/judge_shadow_tests.rs, src/work_item_pipeline.rs
Adds bounded state summaries and detached Jev comparisons for judge actions. The comparison is logged without changing the workflow action.

The new decision layer is opt-in and falls back to existing behavior when it fails. Three narrow issues remain. Apply-mode skill reranking can omit baseline skills, an empty environment variable can hide valid stored credentials, and non-Claude agents can receive an opus suggestion. These problems are worth fixing but do not block the merge.

Skip empty environment values so the vault and ~/.env layers still apply.

std::env::var(k).ok() returns Some("") when a variable is set but empty. One example is export OPENROUTER_API_KEY= in a shell profile. layered_source then stops at the env layer with Source::Env. In that case:

  • The vault is never checked, and neither is ~/.env.
  • Config::from_lookup removes the empty value through its val filter and returns DecideError::NoCredentials. A valid key may still exist in the vault or ~/.env.
  • credential_sources() and decide ping report OPENROUTER_API_KEY: from environment for a value that is not usable.
  • The same problem applies to non-credential settings: an empty AGENTFLARE_JEV in the environment hides AGENTFLARE_JEV=1 in ~/.env.

The module contract says lookup goes env, then vault, then ~/.env. Treat a blank value as "not set" in every layer so this order holds.

Do not recommend opus solely because the current model is not opus.

If a Codex or Cursor payload reports a non-Claude model, a confident hard answer produces an opus nudge. That model may not be available to the host agent. Gate the nudge on a supported target model, and apply the same rule in jev_label so the shadow record matches the emitted nudge.

Preserve baseline skills that Jev cannot evaluate.

picks contains only candidates sent to Jev. If an expanded fetch omits a baseline skill, an all-uncertain response drops that skill instead of deferring to the baseline. The test at Lines 275–303 shows a baseline skill missing from the expanded candidates. Likewise, when keep exceeds TOP_N, apply mode returns at most eight skills even if the baseline contains more. Keep unevaluated baseline skills, or fall back to the baseline when the candidate cap cannot cover them.

Closing as superseded, fifth copy of the same stale branch (#854, #858, #860, #863). #851 is merged; the generating-side fix is #861 (item #712). It keeps recurring until the other workstation (flared:51bb8de6c33b) runs the new build and has its local item / task branch reset.
