Description

Add optional typed decision routing through hosted TypeSafe Jev or locally running Laya. Both providers default to disabled and can first evaluate in shadow mode; active proposals retain existing model-selection constraints, deterministic floors, and tool permissions.

Summary

  • Share an AOT-compatible decision client/policy between Jev and Laya, with bounded requests, cancellation, overload/circuit fallback, redaction, and metadata-only diagnostics. Enable only one decision provider; local Laya never falls back to hosted Jev.
  • Add a persistent loopback-only Python Laya service with pinned selective model downloads, integrity manifests, offline loading, startup warmup, and checkpoint/calibration provenance.
  • Improve Laya integration behavior: handle Armenian and minority scripts, reject silently truncated state/questions/options, use a shorter shared rubric, and preserve explicit HTTP content lengths for the bounded service.
  • Add labeled local evaluation, post-hoc temperature fitting with disjoint validation IDs/request fingerprints, reliability/Brier/ECE/risk-coverage reports, and optional plots. Active Laya routing requires an explicit calibration artifact ID; no production calibration or retrained weights are shipped.
  • Document setup, activation, limitations, and rollback. Credit Nandakishor Mukkunnoth, ConvAI Innovations, and Laya contributors, retain the Apache-2.0 license, and credit TypeSafe/Diogo Almeida separately.

Related Issues

No linked issue. Covers model routing and local decision infrastructure; skill/memory/workflow integrations remain separate work requiring their own quality evaluations.

Type of Change

  • New feature
  • Documentation update
  • Tests
  • Build/CI
  • Refactoring

Validation

  • dotnet restore OpenClaw.Net.slnx
  • dotnet build OpenClaw.Net.slnx --configuration Release --no-restore — zero warnings/errors
  • dotnet test OpenClaw.Net.slnx --configuration Release --no-build — 2,985 passed, 10 skipped
  • dotnet run --project samples/OpenClaw.HelloAgent -c Release --no-build
  • Python local-service/evaluation tests — 16 passed; added to CI
  • Compiled macOS arm64 NativeAOT client calling the real local Laya HTTP service in shadow mode
  • Real English inference on Apple MPS, multilingual inference on CPU including Armenian, rejected oversized/unavailable-checkpoint requests, and a synthetic calibration/evaluation round trip
  • Reliability plot generation and visual inspection

Synthetic examples establish integration behavior only. The base model still underpredicts tool need on some repository tasks; representative held-out calibration and task-quality evaluation are required before activation. CUDA and production workloads were not tested. No live hosted Jev calls or production configuration changes were made.

Review Notes

  • NativeAOT considered; Python/PyTorch remain in an optional, independently managed process
  • Default behavior preserved; providers are disabled by default
  • Input/metadata validation, deadlines, loopback isolation, unchanged tool permissions, and fallback covered
  • Docs, author attribution, retained upstream license, and tests updated
  • Scope excludes unrelated working-tree changes

Commercial or Customer-Driven Contribution Disclosure

No specific company, customer, or sponsor context was supplied for this task. The integration is general-purpose and supports either hosted or local decision providers.

Checklist

  • Read CONTRIBUTING and the maintainer review checklist
  • Required local build/tests/smoke passed
  • Security and AOT implications reviewed
  • Documentation distinguishes supported behavior from experiments
  • Commercial/customer context disclosed above

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional local Laya decision routing with shadow and active modes.
    • Added support for hosted Jev or local Laya routing, with only one provider enabled at a time.
    • Added local service health, calibration, model preparation, evaluation, diagnostics, and rollback workflows.
    • Routing guardrails account for request risk and complexity, and preserve tier choices across turns.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Disabling routing now consistently turns off ONNX, Jev, and Laya routing.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup and usage guidance for local Laya routing and expanded routing status documentation.

Reviewed the decision policy, transport, guardrails, config validation, gateway wiring, the ONNX refactor, and the Laya Python service. The ONNX feature extraction is a pure move (vectors unchanged), the transport bounds and validates responses with source-gen JSON, TLS is enforced off-loopback, shadow mode returns the baseline verbatim, model loading uses safetensors with no pickle path, and the licensing notices match the pinned model. Eight inline notes below. The one I would fix before merge: a Vault-backed API key failure is not in the catch filter, so with Vault down every chat turn hard-fails instead of falling back to the baseline.

Follow-up on the fix commits. Verified as fixed: SecretResolutionException in the catch filter (proved through the real client path), pre-flight explicit-model check with Calls == 0 asserted, request_too_large no longer feeding the breaker, full-state script scanning, 503 for model-output errors, and per-file digests for the pinned revision (all 15 match upstream). The turnIndex change fixes the off-by-one but intentionally diverges from ONNX on repeated prompts. Two notes below: the sticky-tier gate now keys on a field the runtime restores at turn end, so sticky is effectively disabled for Jev/Laya, and the new schema_hash check only agrees with the Python side by coincidence.

Fixed the outstanding routing findings in ce09e0b:

  • Both runtimes retain the source of the sticky tier separately from turn-scoped RouteReason. Added a two-turn AgentRuntime regression using the actual decision policy, plus session serialization coverage.
  • Laya checks canonical JSON state size and complete request byte size before HTTP dispatch. Oversized input falls back without counting toward the service circuit breaker.
  • Schema hashing now matches Python canonical JSON, including literal Unicode and escaped control characters. Both suites pin shared golden hashes for the shipped rubric and a Unicode/HTML/control-character variant.
  • Added README links explaining hosted Jev, local Laya, shadow mode, and calibration requirements.

Validation: 139 routing/runtime tests, 15 Python service tests, and 4 evaluation tests passed. GitHub checks are running on the pushed commit.
