WalkthroughChangesRouting outcome migration
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new routing outcome API can misattribute answered calls or omit request statistics in specific routing scenarios, causing inconsistent production metrics. Stale callers and documentation also remain, so the PR should not merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted. Poem

- Around line 98-116: Update emit_routing_observations and the routing outcome
flow to carry a unique call identity from each routing call through
RoutingOutcome, then select the matching LlmCallObservation by that identity
rather than selected_model. Ensure outcomes without served_model still reference
their originating call and are emitted as AnswerCall, while all other
observations remain LlmCall.
In `@crates/libsy/src/core/algorithm.rs`:
- Around line 75-100: Update the public documentation for
RoutingOutcome::route_to and RoutingOutcome::answered to state that each
constructor mutates the supplied request by setting request.llm_request.model to
selected_model_id. Keep the existing descriptions and document this
normalization invariant in both method docs.
In `@crates/switchyard-server/README.md`:
- Line 168: Update the routing-overhead explanatory paragraph below the
switchyard_routing_overhead_ms table entry to describe the duration recorded by
run: elapsed time from run_started until drive returns, before the answer call,
with no subtraction of the request-serving call.
In `@tests/test_libsy_minimal_bindings.py`:
- Line 13: Update the examples and experimental LiteLLM tests to remove Decision
imports and replace Step.Decision and call.decision references with the current
API. Preserve LibsyError imports and usage, since it remains an exported API.

Full AI plan and explanation is here: #458 `Algorithm::route` now returns `RoutingOutcome` instead of the final `Result`. A `RoutingOutcome` is: ``` pub struct RoutingOutcome { /// The model selected by the algorithm and tried first by the client. pub selected_model_id: ModelId, /// The request after all routing-time rewrites, stamped with `selected_model_id` (algo doesn't need to stamp, libsy does it). pub request: Request, /// Additional models the client may try, in order, after an eligible selected-model failure. pub fallback_models: Vec<ModelId>, /// A response already produced while routing, usually None. pub response: Option<Response>, } ``` This allows the algorithm to avoid the final `CallModel`, which gives us both a "decision-only" style API, a performance win by removing the round-trip through the algorithm, and simplifies the code. The following are removed: - `Driver::decide` and `Step::Decision`. The decision is the `RoutingOutcome`. - `Decision`. That's now `RoutingOutcome::selected_model_id` - `CallModel::into_parts` and `DriverError::Abandoned`. There is no longer any need for the caller to take `CallModel` apart. - `is_answer_call`. A `CallModel` is never an answer call. If you know the answer already you return `RoutingOutcome` directly. - Start with the types: `crates/libsy/src/core/algorithm.rs`. - Naive usage got simpler: `crates/libsy/src/algorithms/passthrough.rs` - FallThrough users hardly changed: `crates/libsy/src/algorithms/stage.rs` - Review FallThrough itself: `crates/libsy/src/algorithms/fall_through.rs` - Review libsy-llm-client's run function which calls libsy::run_stream: `crates/libsy-llm-client/src/run.rs` - And review switchyard-server (only metrics changed): `crates/switchyard-server/src/lib.rs The rest is mostly tests and renames.
