WalkthroughAdds a configuration-only two-tier conversation-routing example with capability classification and regret-based escalation. Documentation describes deployment and usage. Integration tests validate routing, escalation, configuration loading, and one-way session latching. ChangesConversation routing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change adds configuration-only conversation-routing examples and tests without introducing production code changes. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; the outstanding items are limited to documentation presentation, example clarity, and test maintainability follow-ups. Poem

38-44: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winEnable session affinity on the scoring-card route.
Route A omits
session_affinity, so the judge runs on every turn and the tier can change mid-conversation.README.mdline 31 states that a conversation task spans the whole session, and the custom mode supports affinity (crates/switchyard-server/src/config.rslines 608-756 passsession_affinityintoCustomClassifierConfig). Set it if the example should keep one tier per session and pay for one judge call.♻️ Suggested config change

26-28: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueConsider a general chat model for the efficient tier.
moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-codeis a coding-focused model that always runs in thinking mode, so it is a weak illustration of a "cheap conversation tier". A general-purpose small chat model matches the example's story better. The id itself is valid on OpenRouter, so this is only about example clarity.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

1191-1229: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert that each string replacement applied.
String::replacereturns the input unchanged when the pattern is absent. If the example TOML renames the judge target id, the api-key line, or the base URL, these tests keep running against unintended values instead of reporting the drift. The scoring-card assertion can even still pass through thedefault_target = "capable"fallback, which hides the cause.♻️ Suggested helper

@panpan0000 This looks interesting. Can you explain how are you handling final target selection policy with this response schema in the example ??
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good question — the target selection only reads one field: policy.selector = "/decision/target" pulls decision.target (efficient/capable) straight out of the judge's JSON and uses it as-is.
The other fields — crux, primary_rule, p_solve — aren't consumed by the routing policy at all;
they're carried in the response purely for offline calibration/debugging (e.g. comparing p_solve against actual outcomes later).
If the judge ever returns something the selector can't parse or that doesn't match the target enum, it falls back to default_target = "capable", which is the conservative default.

Addresses #445 (first two implementation paths from the proposal comment — both config-only, no new code).
What's in this PR
A checked-in example deployment,
examples/conversation-routing/conversation-routing.toml, with two two-tier conversation routes built entirely from the existing config surface:switchyard/conversationllm_classifiercustom modeefficientorcapable. Conservative default: capable.switchyard/conversation-regretllm_classifierescalation modeBoth prompts and the response schema live inline in the example, so
switchyard-server --config examples/conversation-routing/conversation-routing.tomlruns as-is (replace the model ids with your own tiers).Tests
Two new integration tests in
crates/switchyard-server/tests/server.rsdrive the checked-in example file itself (viainclude_str!) against the mock upstream:conversation_example_config_builds_both_routes— the example parses and registers both routes.conversation_example_routes_by_card_and_escalates_on_regret— end-to-end: the scoring card routes to capable through the target selector (not the fallback), and the regret route runs efficient → escalates on the same turn the user says "wrong" → stays capable without another judge call.The mock upstream gained a conversation-schema verdict branch and a regret-detection branch (user-role messages only, so the prompt's own "wrong" phrasing doesn't self-trigger).
