+# Smart Model Routing for IronClaw
+
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Author:** Microwave
+**Date:** 2026-02-19
+
+## What
+
+Automatic model selection based on request complexity. The router analyzes each user message and selects an appropriate model tier (flash/standard/pro/frontier), then maps that tier to a configured model.
+
+## Why
+
+1. **Cost optimization** — Simple requests ("hi", "what time is it") don't need expensive models
+2. **User experience** — Simple requests return faster with lightweight models
+3. **NEAR AI native** — Default backend uses NEAR AI inference where costs vary by model
+4. **Zero-config value** — Users benefit immediately without configuration
+5. **Not just power users** — Everyone gets smart defaults, power users can override
+
+## How
+

+
+### Complexity Scorer (13 Dimensions)
+
+Each dimension produces a 0-100 score. Weighted sum determines total.
+
+| Dimension | Weight | Signals |
+|-----------|--------|---------|
+| Reasoning Words | 14% | "why", "explain", "compare", "trade-offs" |
+| Token Estimate | 12% | Prompt length |
+| Code Indicators | 10% | Backticks, syntax, "implement", "PR" |
+| Multi-Step | 10% | "first", "then", "after", "steps" |
+| Domain Specific | 10% | Technical terms (configurable) |
+| Creativity | 7% | "write", "summarize", "tweet", "blog" |
+| Question Complexity | 7% | Multiple questions, open-ended starters |
+| Precision | 6% | Numbers, "exactly", "calculate" |
+| Ambiguity | 5% | Vague references |
+| Context Dependency | 5% | "previous", "you said" |
+| Sentence Complexity | 5% | Commas, conjunctions, clause depth |
+| Tool Likelihood | 5% | "read", "deploy", "install" |
+| Safety Sensitivity | 4% | "password", "auth", "vulnerability" |
+
+**Multi-dimensional boost:** +30% when 3+ dimensions score above threshold.
+
+### Tier Boundaries
+
+| Score | Tier | Typical Use Case |
+|-------|------|------------------|
+| 0-15 | flash | Greetings, acknowledgments, quick lookups |
+| 16-40 | standard | Writing, comparisons, defined tasks |
+| 41-65 | pro | Multi-step analysis, code review |
+| 66+ | frontier | Critical decisions, security audits |
+
+### Pattern Overrides
+
+Fast-path rules that bypass scoring for obvious cases:
+
+```yaml
+# Force flash tier
+- "^(hi|hello|hey|thanks|ok|sure|yes|no)$"
+- "^what.*(time|date|day)"
+
+# Force frontier tier
+- "security.*(audit|review|scan)"
+- "vulnerabilit(y|ies).*(review|scan|check|audit)"
+
+# Force pro tier
+- "deploy.*(mainnet|production)"
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+> **Note:** The current implementation supports smart routing via
+> `NEARAI_CHEAP_MODEL` and `SMART_ROUTING_CASCADE` env vars, plus
+> `domain_keywords` on `SmartRoutingConfig`. The full `llm.routing` YAML
+> schema below is the target design — not all knobs are wired yet.
+
+**Default (zero-config):**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  routing:
+    enabled: true  # default
+```
+
+**Power user overrides (target schema):**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  routing:
+    enabled: true
+    tiers:
+      flash: "claude-3-5-haiku-latest"
+      standard: "claude-sonnet-4-5-latest"
+      pro: "claude-sonnet-4-5-latest"
+      frontier: "claude-opus-4-5-latest"
+    thinking:
+      pro: "low"
+      frontier: "medium"
+    overrides:
+      - pattern: "my-custom-pattern"
+        tier: "pro"
+    domain_keywords:  # Custom keywords for your domain
+      - "mycompany"
+      - "myproduct"
+      - "internal-tool"
+```
+
+If `domain_keywords` is not set, uses `DEFAULT_DOMAIN_KEYWORDS` which covers common web3/infra terms.
+
+**Disable routing (pin model):**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  routing:
+    enabled: false
+  model: "claude-opus-4-5"
+```
+
+**Bring your own keys:**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  backend: anthropic
+  api_key: "sk-..."
+  routing:
+    enabled: true  # still works with external providers
+```
+
+### Integration Points
+
+1. **RoutingProvider** — New wrapper implementing `LlmProvider` trait (like `FailoverProvider`)
+2. **Scorer** — Pure function, no I/O, fast (~1ms)
+3. **Config schema** — Extend `LlmConfig` with `routing` section
+4. **Telemetry** — Log routing decisions for observability
+
+### Model Agnosticism
+
+**Critical:** No hardcoded model names in the router logic itself.
+
+- Tier→model mappings come from config
+- Default mappings use `-latest` patterns where supported
+- NEAR AI backend handles actual model resolution
+- Router only knows about tiers
+
+### Layers of Control
+
+| Layer | User Type | Config |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| 1. Zero-config | Everyone | `routing.enabled: true` (default) |
+| 2. Tier tuning | Power users | Custom `routing.tiers` mapping |
+| 3. Pattern overrides | Power users | Custom `routing.overrides` |
+| 4. Model pinning | Power users | `routing.enabled: false` + `model: X` |
+| 5. Own API keys | Power users | `backend: anthropic` + `api_key` |
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. [x] Port scorer to Rust (`src/llm/smart_routing.rs`)
+2. [x] Implement router wrapper (`src/llm/smart_routing.rs`)
+3. [x] Extend config schema (`src/config.rs`)
+4. [x] Wire into provider creation (`src/llm/mod.rs`)
+5. [x] Add telemetry/logging
+6. [x] Tests with real conversation samples
+7. [x] Codex + Gemini security review
+8. [x] Documentation updated (this spec)
+
+## Expected Outcomes
+
+- **50-70% cost reduction** for typical usage patterns
+- **Faster responses** for simple requests
+- **Zero config required** for default benefits
+- **Full control** for power users who want it

+//! Restart tool for graceful process restart.
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! IronClaw runs inside a Docker container with an entrypoint loop that monitors exit codes:
+//! - **Exit code 0** (clean): Reset failure counter, wait `IRONCLAW_RESTART_DELAY` (default 5s), restart
+//! - **Exit code ≠ 0** (failure): Increment failure counter, exit after `IRONCLAW_MAX_FAILURES` (default 10)
+//!
+//! This tool triggers a restart by calling `std::process::exit(0)` after a brief delay, allowing
+//! the HTTP response to be flushed before the process terminates. The entrypoint loop then
+//! detects the clean exit and automatically restarts the process.
+//!
+//! ## Security
+//!
+//! - **Approval Model:** User approval happens at the command level via web modal confirmation,
+//!   not at tool execution level. This allows approved commands to execute in autonomous jobs.
+//! - **Web-Only Access:** The `/restart` command only works via the web gateway (enforced in commands.rs)
+//! - **Parameter Validation:** Delay clamped to 1-30 seconds
+//!
+//! ## Known Limitations
+//!
+//! - Hard exit without graceful shutdown (no destructor cleanup, no RwLock drains)
+//! - In-flight jobs are paused during restart and resumed by the entrypoint
+//! - Future: Implement graceful shutdown with CancellationToken for proper resource cleanup

-//! Web fetch tool — GET a URL and return its content as clean Markdown.
-//!
-//! Distinct from the generic `http` tool (which handles API calls with full
-//! method/header/body control). `web_fetch` is purpose-built for reading web
-//! pages, articles, and documentation:
-//!
-//! - GET-only, no custom headers or body
-//! - Always attempts HTML → Markdown conversion via Readability
-//! - Returns structured output: `{url, final_url, status, title, content, word_count}`
-//! - Auto-approved (no confirmation prompt)
-//! - Follows up to 3 redirects, SSRF-validating each hop
-//!
-//! All the same security infrastructure as `http`:
-//! HTTPS-only, SSRF protection, DNS rebinding defence, outbound/inbound leak
-//! scanning, 5 MB response cap.

 2. Use the `page` fixture for a fresh browser page
 3. Use selectors from `helpers.py` (update `SEL` dict if new elements are needed)
 4. Keep tests deterministic -- use the mock LLM, not real providers
+
+## Mocking API responses with `page.route()`
+
+For tabs that depend on external data (extensions, jobs, memory, routines), use
+Playwright's `page.route()` to intercept the browser's HTTP requests to the
+ironclaw gateway and return deterministic fixture JSON. This avoids needing
+real installed binaries, live external services, or complex database setup.
+
+### Basic pattern
+
+```python
+import json
+
+async def test_something(page):
+    # 1. Set up route intercepts BEFORE navigation triggers the fetch
+    # Always use async def handlers — route.fulfill() is a coroutine and must be awaited.
+    async def handle_tools(route):
+        await route.fulfill(
+            status=200,
+            content_type="application/json",
+            body=json.dumps({"tools": [{"name": "echo", "description": "Echo"}]}),
+        )
+
+    await page.route("**/api/extensions/tools", handle_tools)
+
+    # 2. Navigate / interact to trigger the fetch
+    await page.locator('.tab-bar button[data-tab="extensions"]').click()
+
+    # 3. Assert on the rendered DOM
+    rows = page.locator("#tools-tbody tr")
+    assert await rows.count() == 1
+```
+
+### Matching only the exact path
+
+`**/api/extensions` matches `http://host/api/extensions` but NOT sub-paths
+like `http://host/api/extensions/install`. For the bare list endpoint, add
+a check inside the handler:
+
+```python
+async def handle_ext_list(route):
+    path = route.request.url.split("?")[0]
+    if path.endswith("/api/extensions"):
+        await route.fulfill(json={"extensions": []})
+    else:
+        await route.continue_()   # Let sub-paths through to the real server
+
+await page.route("**/api/extensions*", handle_ext_list)
+```
+
+### Mocking method-specific behaviour (GET vs POST)
+
+```python
+async def handle_setup(route):
+    if route.request.method == "GET":
+        await route.fulfill(json={"secrets": [...]})
+    else:  # POST
+        await route.fulfill(json={"success": True})
+
+await page.route("**/api/extensions/my-ext/setup", handle_setup)
+```
+
+### Counting calls (for reload tests)
+
+```python
+calls = []
+
+async def counting_handler(route):
+    calls.append(1)
+    await route.fulfill(json={"extensions": []})
+
+await page.route("**/api/extensions", counting_handler)
+# ... interact ...
+assert len(calls) == 2   # called twice (initial + after some action)
+```
+
+### Applying the pattern to other tabs
+
+| Tab | Key API endpoints to mock |
+|-----|--------------------------|
+| **Jobs** | `/api/jobs`, `/api/jobs/{id}`, `/api/jobs/{id}/events` |
+| **Memory** | `/api/memory/search`, `/api/memory/tree`, `/api/memory/read` |
+| **Routines** | `/api/routines`, `/api/routines/{id}/runs` |
+
+### Injecting state directly via `page.evaluate()`
+
+For purely client-side UI (components rendered entirely in JS without API calls),
+call the JavaScript function directly to skip the network layer entirely:
+
+```python
+# Show an approval card without needing a real tool execution
+await page.evaluate("""
+    showApproval({
+        request_id: 'test-001',
+        thread_id: currentThreadId,
+        tool_name: 'shell',
+        description: 'Run something',
+    })
+""")
+```
+
+This is the pattern used in `test_tool_approval.py` and parts of
+`test_extensions.py` (auth card, configure modal).
