  1. dev server config

Use only two models, a capable and an efficient.

  • Capable is Sol
  • Efficient is Luna

Add "advisor" algorithm at switchyard/advisor

  1. systemd unit

Use the wonderful DynamicUser and LoadCredential.

This allows the binary and config to be owned by root. systemd invents
a new user, that has no home directory, owns nothing, and cannot login,
to run the process as.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

The Inference Hub configuration now uses Responses formatting, new GPT-5.6 targets, updated routing, and an advisor route. The systemd service now uses a temporary user and credential-based configuration and TLS files.

Inference Routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model and route configuration
dev-server/config.toml
Inference Hub uses Responses formatting. New capable and efficient targets replace the previous targets. Random and passthrough routes use the new targets.
Advisor route configuration
dev-server/config.toml
The advisor route uses the efficient target for execution and the capable target for reviews. It sets review, stall-turn, and tool-result limits.

Service Execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential-backed service startup
dev-server/switchyard.service
The service runs as a temporary user, loads configuration and TLS files through systemd credentials, and passes their paths to switchyard-server.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c7363

The dev server may fail to apply the configured reasoning effort or reject requests, and the new service unit may not start on hosts running systemd older than 246. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with routes in a row,
GPT targets now know where to go.
Credentials tucked safely from sight,
An advisor reviews left and right.
Hop, hop—the service starts light!
