## Executive Summary

OmniRoute is a local AI routing gateway and dashboard built on Next.js.
It provides a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint (`/v1/*`) and routes traffic across multiple upstream providers with translation, fallback, token refresh, and usage tracking.

Core capabilities:

- OpenAI-compatible API surface for CLI/tools (177 providers, 55 executors)
- Request/response translation across provider formats
- Model combo fallback (multi-model sequence)
- Structured combo steps (`provider + model + connection`) with runtime ordering by `compositeTiers`
- Account-level fallback (multi-account per provider)
- Quota preflight and quota-aware P2C account selection in the main chat path
- OAuth + API-key provider connection management (16 OAuth modules)
- Embedding generation via `/v1/embeddings` (6 providers, 9 models)
- Image generation via `/v1/images/generations` (10+ providers, 20+ models)
- Audio transcription via `/v1/audio/transcriptions` (7 providers)
- Text-to-speech via `/v1/audio/speech` (10 providers)
- Video generation via `/v1/videos/generations` (ComfyUI + SD WebUI)

- Local persistence for providers, keys, aliases, combos, settings, pricing (26 DB modules)
- Usage/cost tracking and request logging
- Optional cloud sync for multi-device/state sync
- IP allowlist/blocklist for API access control
- Thinking budget management (passthrough/auto/custom/adaptive)
- Global system prompt injection
- Session tracking and fingerprinting
- Per-account enhanced rate limiting with provider-specific profiles
- Circuit breaker pattern for provider resilience
- Anti-thundering herd protection with mutex locking

- Domain layer: cost rules, fallback policy, lockout policy
- Context Relay: session handoff summaries for account rotation continuity
- Domain state persistence (SQLite write-through cache for fallbacks, budgets, lockouts, circuit breakers)
- Policy engine for centralized request evaluation (lockout → budget → fallback)
- Request telemetry with p50/p95/p99 latency aggregation
- Combo target telemetry and historical combo target health via `combo_execution_key` / `combo_step_id`
- Correlation ID (X-Request-Id) for end-to-end tracing
- Compliance audit logging with opt-out per API key
- Eval framework for LLM quality assurance
- Health dashboard with real-time provider circuit breaker status
- MCP Server (37 tools) with 3 transports (stdio/SSE/Streamable HTTP)
- A2A Server (JSON-RPC 2.0 + SSE) with skills and task lifecycle
- Memory system (extraction, injection, retrieval, summarization)
- Skills system (registry, executor, sandbox, built-in skills)
- MITM proxy with certificate management and DNS handling
- Prompt injection guard middleware
- Prompt compression pipeline with Caveman, RTK, stacked pipelines, compression combos, language packs, and analytics
- ACP (Agent Communication Protocol) registry
- Modular OAuth providers (16 individual modules under `src/lib/oauth/providers/`)
- Uninstall/full-uninstall scripts
- OAuth environment repair action
- WebSocket bridge for OpenAI-compatible WS clients (`/v1/ws`)
- Sync token management (issue/revoke, ETag-versioned config bundle download)
- GLM Thinking (`glmt`) first-class provider preset
- Hybrid token counting (provider-side `/messages/count_tokens` with estimation fallback)
- Model alias auto-seeding (30+ cross-proxy dialect normalizations at startup)
- Safe outbound fetch with SSRF guard, private URL blocking, and configurable retry
- Cooldown-aware chat retries with configurable `requestRetry` and `maxRetryIntervalSec`
- Runtime environment validation with Zod at startup
- Compliance audit v2 with pagination, provider CRUD events, and SSRF-blocked validation logging

Primary runtime model:

- Next.js app routes under `src/app/api/*` implement both dashboard APIs and compatibility APIs
- A shared SSE/routing core in `src/sse/*` + `open-sse/*` handles provider execution, translation, streaming, fallback, and usage

- Thin wrapper: `src/lib/oauth/providers.ts` — re-exports from individual modules

## 5) Embedded Services (v3.8.4)

OmniRoute can install, supervise, and route to locally-running AI tool processes
called **embedded services**. Two are shipped in v3.8.4: 9Router and CLIProxyAPI.

Architecture layers:

- **UI** (`/dashboard/providers/services`) — two-tab page with lifecycle controls,
  live log streaming, API key management, and (for 9Router) embedded native UI via
  an internal reverse proxy.
- **API** (`/api/services/{name}/*`) — 8 endpoints for 9Router, 7 for CLIProxyAPI,
  all classified **LOCAL_ONLY** (hard rule #17). A shared `GET /api/services/[name]/logs`
  SSE endpoint serves both services.
- **Supervisor** (`src/lib/services/`) — generic `ServiceSupervisor` class wraps
  `child_process.spawn`, holds a 5 MB ring buffer for SSE log streaming, a health
  probe loop, an atomic operation lock, and a SIGTERM→SIGKILL graceful shutdown.
  `bootstrap.ts` wires all configured services at process start.
- **Provider/executor** (`open-sse/executors/ninerouter.ts`) — 9Router is exposed as
  a real provider. Models are prefixed `9router/{sub}/{model}` and synced every 5 min
  from 9Router's `/v1/models` endpoint.

Deep-dive: `docs/frameworks/EMBEDDED-SERVICES.md`

## Major Subsystems (v3.8.0)

### A. Auto Combo Engine

Auto Combo dynamically scores and picks routing targets at request time, rather than
relying on a static combo definition. It powers the `auto/*` model prefix family.

- Engine entry: `open-sse/services/autoCombo/` (`autoComboEngine.ts`,
  `scoringEngine.ts`, `virtualFactory.ts`, `modePacks.ts`)
- Resolver: `src/domain/comboResolver.ts` (auto-detection of `auto/` prefix)
- Dashboard: `/dashboard/auto-combo`
- Telemetry: `auto_combo_decisions` SQLite table

Key capabilities:

- **14 routing strategies** (priority, weighted, fill-first, round-robin, P2C, random,
  least-used, cost-optimized, strict-random, **auto**, lkgp, context-optimized,
  context-relay, plus a fallback path) — auto is the headline addition in v3.8.0.
- **9-factor scoring**: cost, latency p95, success rate, quota headroom, lockout
  proximity, breaker state, recent failures, model availability, and tag affinity.
- **Virtual factory** materializes ephemeral combos when no matching named combo
  exists, sourcing candidates from healthy active provider connections.
- **Auto prefixes**: `auto/coding`, `auto/cheap`, `auto/fast`, `auto/offline`,
  `auto/smart`, `auto/lkgp` — each backed by a tuned weight profile.
- **4 mode packs**: coding, fast, cheap, smart — shipped as preset weight
  configurations callable from the dashboard.

For full algorithmic detail (factor formulas, weight tuning), see
[`docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md`](../routing/AUTO-COMBO.md).

### B. Cloud Agents

Cloud Agents wraps third-party hosted code-agent platforms (Codex Cloud, Devin,
Jules) behind a uniform DB-backed task lifecycle. All task creation/inspection
endpoints require management authentication.

- Module root: `src/lib/cloudAgent/` (`baseAgent.ts`, `registry.ts`, `api.ts`,
  `types.ts`, `db.ts`, plus per-agent subdirectories under `agents/`)
- Per-agent implementations: `agents/codex/`, `agents/devin/`, `agents/jules/`
- Public endpoints: `/api/v1/agents/tasks/*` (list/create/get/cancel)
- Management endpoints: `/api/cloud/*` (provisioning, status, batch)
- Dashboard: `/dashboard/cloud-agents`
- Storage: `cloud_agent_tasks` table

For per-agent provisioning and OAuth specifics, see
[`docs/frameworks/CLOUD_AGENT.md`](../frameworks/CLOUD_AGENT.md).

### C. Guardrails

The guardrails module is a hot-reloadable middleware layer that inspects requests
and responses for PII, prompt injection, and unsafe vision content. Violations
short-circuit the request with HTTP **503** plus a structured error code, allowing
downstream callers to retry or branch.

- Module root: `src/lib/guardrails/` (`base.ts`, `registry.ts`, `piiMasker.ts`,
  `promptInjection.ts`, `visionBridge.ts`, `visionBridgeHelpers.ts`)
- Hot reload: registry watches for config changes and rebuilds the chain in place
- Wire-in points: chat handler entry, image generation handler, response sanitizer
- HTTP contract: violations surface as `503` with `error.code = "GUARDRAIL_VIOLATION"`

For ruleset authoring and threshold tuning, see
[`docs/security/GUARDRAILS.md`](../security/GUARDRAILS.md).

### D. Domain Layer

The `src/domain/` namespace centralizes policy decisions so route handlers do not
have to assemble lockout/budget/fallback logic themselves.

- Policy engine: `src/domain/policyEngine.ts` — single entry point for
  pre-execution evaluation (lockout → budget → fallback ordering)
- Cost rules: `src/domain/costRules.ts`
- Fallback policy: `src/domain/fallbackPolicy.ts`
- Lockout policy: `src/domain/lockoutPolicy.ts`
- Tag-based routing: `src/domain/tagRouter.ts`
- Combo resolver: `src/domain/comboResolver.ts` — resolves combo names, auto/\*
  prefixes, and wildcard model targets to concrete execution plans
- Connection/model rule joiner: `src/domain/connectionModelRules.ts`
- Model availability snapshots: `src/domain/modelAvailability.ts`
- Provider expiration tracking: `src/domain/providerExpiration.ts`
- Quota cache: `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`
- Degradation state: `src/domain/degradation.ts`
- Configuration audit: `src/domain/configAudit.ts`
- OmniRoute response metadata builder: `src/domain/omnirouteResponseMeta.ts`
- Assessment subsystem: `src/domain/assessment/` — periodic evaluation jobs

### E. Authorization Pipeline

The authorization pipeline classifies every incoming request and applies the
appropriate policy chain before dispatch.

- Pipeline entry: `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`
- Request classifier: `src/server/authz/classify.ts` — distinguishes public
  compatibility routes from management routes
- Public route inventory: `src/shared/constants/publicApiRoutes.ts`
- Policies: `src/server/authz/policies/` — composable predicates
  (`requireApiKey`, `requireManagement`, `requireFreshAuth`, etc.)
- Header utilities: `src/server/authz/headers.ts`
- Assertion helper: `src/server/authz/assertAuth.ts`
- Request context: `src/server/authz/context.ts`

Public vs management routes are a hard boundary: agent/cooldown APIs and
provider mutations require management auth (HTTP 401 if missing).

For the full route classification rules, see
[`docs/architecture/AUTHZ_GUIDE.md`](./AUTHZ_GUIDE.md).

### F. Workflow FSM and Task-Aware Router

A finite-state-machine driven router layered above combo selection to direct
traffic based on the detected workflow stage (planning, execution,
review) and background-task affinity.

- Workflow FSM: `open-sse/services/workflowFSM.ts`
- Task-aware router: `open-sse/services/taskAwareRouter.ts`
- Background task detector: `open-sse/services/backgroundTaskDetector.ts`
- Intent classifier: `open-sse/services/intentClassifier.ts`

The FSM transitions feed into Auto Combo's scoring, biasing toward cheaper models
for background/automation tasks and toward stronger models for interactive
planning/review turns.

### G. Provider-Specific Resilience

Several providers ship dedicated resilience and stealth modules that piggy-back on
the global circuit breaker / connection cooldown / model lockout layers:

- Antigravity 429 engine: `open-sse/services/antigravity429Engine.ts` (rotates
  identity, scrubs response headers, drives credits/version tracking via
  `antigravityCredits.ts`, `antigravityHeaderScrub.ts`, `antigravityHeaders.ts`,
  `antigravityIdentity.ts`, `antigravityObfuscation.ts`, `antigravityVersion.ts`)
- ModelScope quota policy: `open-sse/services/modelscopePolicy.ts`

### H. Webhooks, Reasoning Cache, Read Cache

- **Webhooks** — outbound dispatch for provider/account/task events.
  - Dispatcher: `src/lib/webhookDispatcher.ts`
  - Storage: `webhooks` SQLite table (via `src/lib/db/webhooks.ts`)
  - Dashboard: `/dashboard/webhooks` (subscriptions, secrets, retry history)
  - For event taxonomy and retry semantics, see [`docs/frameworks/WEBHOOKS.md`](../frameworks/WEBHOOKS.md).
- **Reasoning Cache** — replayable reasoning blocks for providers that emit
  thinking tokens (Claude, GLMT, etc.) so consecutive turns can skip re-thinking.
  - DB layer: `src/lib/db/reasoningCache.ts`
  - Service layer: `open-sse/services/reasoningCache.ts`
  - For replay semantics, see [`docs/routing/REASONING_REPLAY.md`](../routing/REASONING_REPLAY.md).
- **Read Cache** — short-lived response cache keyed by signature and used to
  collapse identical retries from broken upstream SDKs.
  - DB layer: `src/lib/db/readCache.ts`
  - Stats endpoint: `GET /api/cache/stats`, dashboard at `/dashboard/cache`

## 3) Persistence Layer

Primary state DB (SQLite):

- Core infra: `src/lib/db/core.ts` (better-sqlite3, migrations, WAL)
- Re-export facade: `src/lib/localDb.ts` (thin compatibility layer for callers)
- file: `${DATA_DIR}/storage.sqlite` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/omniroute/storage.sqlite` when set, else `~/.omniroute/storage.sqlite`)
- entities (tables + KV namespaces): providerConnections, providerNodes, modelAliases, combos, apiKeys, settings, pricing, **customModels**, **proxyConfig**, **ipFilter**, **thinkingBudget**, **systemPrompt**

Usage persistence:

- facade: `src/lib/usageDb.ts` (decomposed modules in `src/lib/usage/*`)
- SQLite tables in `storage.sqlite`: `usage_history`, `call_logs`, `proxy_logs`
- optional file artifacts remain for compatibility/debug (`${DATA_DIR}/log.txt`, `${DATA_DIR}/call_logs/`, `<repo>/logs/...`)
- legacy JSON files are migrated to SQLite by startup migrations when present

Domain State DB (SQLite):

- `src/lib/db/domainState.ts` — CRUD operations for domain state
- Tables (created in `src/lib/db/core.ts`): `domain_fallback_chains`, `domain_budgets`, `domain_cost_history`, `domain_lockout_state`, `domain_circuit_breakers`
- Write-through cache pattern: in-memory Maps are authoritative at runtime; mutations are written synchronously to SQLite; state is restored from DB on cold start

## 4) Auth + Security Surfaces

- Dashboard cookie auth: `src/proxy.ts`, `src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts`
- API key generation/verification: `src/shared/utils/apiKey.ts`
- Provider secrets persisted in `providerConnections` entries
- Outbound proxy support via `open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts` (env vars) and `open-sse/utils/networkProxy.ts` (configurable per-provider or global)
- SSRF / outbound URL guard: `src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts` — blocks private/loopback/link-local ranges for all provider calls
- Runtime env validation: `src/lib/env/runtimeEnv.ts` — Zod schema for all environment variables, surfaced as startup errors/warnings
- Sync tokens: `src/lib/db/syncTokens.ts` — scoped tokens for config bundle download endpoints; backed by `sync_tokens` SQLite table (migration `024_create_sync_tokens.sql`)
- WebSocket handshake auth: `src/lib/ws/handshake.ts` — validates WS upgrade requests via API key or session cookie

## 5) Cloud Sync

- Scheduler init: `src/lib/initCloudSync.ts`, `src/shared/services/initializeCloudSync.ts`, `src/shared/services/modelSyncScheduler.ts`
- Periodic task: `src/shared/services/cloudSyncScheduler.ts`
- Periodic task: `src/shared/services/modelSyncScheduler.ts`
- Control route: `src/app/api/sync/cloud/route.ts`

## Combo + Account Fallback Flow

```mermaid
flowchart TD
    A[Incoming model string] --> B{Is combo name?}
    B -- Yes --> C[Load combo models sequence]
    B -- No --> D[Single model path]

    C --> E[Try model N]
    E --> F[Resolve provider/model]
    D --> F

    F --> G[Select account credentials]
    G --> H{Credentials available?}
    H -- No --> I[Return provider unavailable]
    H -- Yes --> J[Execute request]

    J --> K{Success?}
    K -- Yes --> L[Return response]
    K -- No --> M{Fallback-eligible error?}

    M -- No --> N[Return error]
    M -- Yes --> O[Mark account unavailable cooldown]
    O --> P{Another account for provider?}
    P -- Yes --> G
    P -- No --> Q{In combo with next model?}
    Q -- Yes --> E
    Q -- No --> R[Return all unavailable]
```

Fallback decisions are driven by `open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts` using status codes and error-message heuristics. Combo routing adds one extra guard: provider-scoped 400s such as upstream content-block and role-validation failures are treated as model-local failures so later combo targets can still run.

## OAuth Onboarding and Token Refresh Lifecycle

```mermaid

    autonumber
    participant UI as Dashboard UI
    participant OAuth as /api/oauth/[provider]/[action]
    participant ProvAuth as Provider Auth Server
    participant DB as localDb
    participant Test as /api/providers/[id]/test
    participant Exec as Provider Executor

    UI->>OAuth: GET authorize or device-code
    OAuth->>ProvAuth: create auth/device flow
    ProvAuth-->>OAuth: auth URL or device code payload
    OAuth-->>UI: flow data

    UI->>OAuth: POST exchange or poll
    OAuth->>ProvAuth: token exchange/poll
    ProvAuth-->>OAuth: access/refresh tokens
    OAuth->>DB: createProviderConnection(oauth data)
    OAuth-->>UI: success + connection id

    UI->>Test: POST /api/providers/[id]/test
    Test->>Exec: validate credentials / optional refresh
    Exec-->>Test: valid or refreshed token info
    Test->>DB: update status/tokens/errors
    Test-->>UI: validation result
```

Refresh during live traffic is executed inside `open-sse/handlers/chatCore.ts` via executor `refreshCredentials()`.

## Cloud Sync Lifecycle (Enable / Sync / Disable)

    Sync->>DB: ensure API key exists
    Sync->>Cloud: POST /sync/{machineId} (providers/aliases/combos/keys)
    Cloud-->>Sync: sync result
    Sync->>Cloud: GET /{machineId}/v1/verify
    Sync-->>UI: enabled + verification status

    UI->>Sync: POST action=sync
    Sync->>Cloud: POST /sync/{machineId}
    Cloud-->>Sync: remote data
    Sync->>DB: update newer local tokens/status
    Sync-->>UI: synced

    UI->>Sync: POST action=disable
    Sync->>DB: set cloudEnabled=false
    Sync->>Cloud: DELETE /sync/{machineId}
    Sync->>Claude: switch ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL back to local (if needed)
    Sync-->>UI: disabled
```

Periodic sync is triggered by `CloudSyncScheduler` when cloud is enabled.

## Provider Executor Coverage (Strategy Pattern)

Each provider has a specialized executor extending `BaseExecutor` (in `open-sse/executors/base.ts`), which provides URL building, header construction, retry with exponential backoff, credential refresh hooks, and the `execute()` orchestration method.

| Executor                 | Provider(s)                                                                                                                                                 | Special Handling                                                     |

## Format Translation Coverage

Detected source formats include:

- `openai`
- `openai-responses`
- `claude`
- `gemini`

Target formats include:

- OpenAI chat/Responses
- Claude
- Gemini/Gemini-CLI/Antigravity envelope
- Kiro
- Cursor

Translations use **OpenAI as the hub format** — all conversions go through OpenAI as intermediate:

```
Source Format → OpenAI (hub) → Target Format
```

Translations are selected dynamically based on source payload shape and provider target format.

Additional processing layers in the translation pipeline:

- **Response sanitization** — Strips non-standard fields from OpenAI-format responses (both streaming and non-streaming) to ensure strict SDK compliance
- **Role normalization** — Converts `developer` → `system` for non-OpenAI targets; merges `system` → `user` for models that reject the system role (GLM, ERNIE)
- **Think tag extraction** — Parses `<think>...</think>` blocks from content into `reasoning_content` field
- **Structured output** — Converts OpenAI `response_format.json_schema` to Gemini's `responseMimeType` + `responseSchema`

## Bypass Handler

The bypass handler (`open-sse/utils/bypassHandler.ts`) intercepts known "throwaway" requests from Claude CLI — warmup pings, title extractions, and token counts — and returns a **fake response** without consuming upstream provider tokens. This is triggered only when `User-Agent` contains `claude-cli`.

## Request Logging and Artifacts

The older file-based request logger (`open-sse/utils/requestLogger.ts`) is retained only for
legacy compatibility. The current runtime contract uses:

- `APP_LOG_TO_FILE=true` for application and audit logs written under `<repo>/logs/`
- SQLite-backed call log records in `call_logs`
- `${DATA_DIR}/call_logs/YYYY-MM-DD/...` artifacts when the call log pipeline is enabled

## Failure Modes and Resilience

## 1) Account/Provider Availability

- connection cooldown on retryable upstream failures
- account fallback before failing request
- combo model fallback when current model/provider path is exhausted

## 2) Token Expiry

- pre-check and refresh with retry for refreshable providers
- 401/403 retry after refresh attempt in core path

## 3) Stream Safety

- disconnect-aware stream controller
- translation stream with end-of-stream flush and `[DONE]` handling
- usage estimation fallback when provider usage metadata is missing

## 4) Cloud Sync Degradation

- sync errors are surfaced but local runtime continues
- scheduler has retry-capable logic, but periodic execution currently calls single-attempt sync by default

## 5) Data Integrity

- SQLite schema migrations and auto-upgrade hooks at startup
- legacy JSON → SQLite migration compatibility path

## 6) SSRF / Outbound URL Guard

- `src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts` blocks all private/loopback/link-local target URLs before they reach provider executors
- Provider model discovery and validation routes use `src/shared/network/safeOutboundFetch.ts` which applies the guard before every outbound request
- Guard errors surface as `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED` with HTTP 422 and are logged to the compliance audit trail via `providerAudit.ts`

## Observability and Operational Signals

Runtime visibility sources:

- console logs from `src/sse/utils/logger.ts`
- per-request usage aggregates in SQLite (`usage_history`, `call_logs`, `proxy_logs`)
- four-stage detailed payload captures in SQLite (`request_detail_logs`) when `settings.detailed_logs_enabled=true`
- textual request status log in `log.txt` (optional/compat)
- optional application log files under `logs/` when `APP_LOG_TO_FILE=true`
- optional request artifacts under `${DATA_DIR}/call_logs/` when the call log pipeline is enabled
- dashboard usage endpoints (`/api/usage/*`) for UI consumption

Detailed request payload capture stores up to four JSON payload stages per routed call:

- raw request received from the client
- translated request actually sent upstream
- provider response reconstructed as JSON; streamed responses are compacted to the final summary plus stream metadata
- final client response returned by OmniRoute; streamed responses are stored in the same compact summary form

## Security-Sensitive Boundaries

- JWT secret (`JWT_SECRET`) secures dashboard session cookie verification/signing
- Initial password bootstrap (`INITIAL_PASSWORD`) should be explicitly configured for first-run provisioning
- API key HMAC secret (`API_KEY_SECRET`) secures generated local API key format
- Provider secrets (API keys/tokens) are persisted in local DB and should be protected at filesystem level
- Cloud sync endpoints rely on API key auth + machine id semantics

## Environment and Runtime Matrix

Environment variables actively used by code:

- App/auth: `JWT_SECRET`, `INITIAL_PASSWORD`
- Storage: `DATA_DIR`
- Compatible node behavior: `ALLOW_MULTI_CONNECTIONS_PER_COMPAT_NODE`
- Optional storage base override (Linux/macOS when `DATA_DIR` unset): `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`
- Security hashing: `API_KEY_SECRET`, `MACHINE_ID_SALT`
- Logging: `APP_LOG_TO_FILE`, `APP_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS`, `CALL_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS`
- Sync/cloud URLing: `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUD_URL`
- Outbound proxy: `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `ALL_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY` and lowercase variants
- SOCKS5 feature flags: `ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY`
- Platform/runtime helpers (not app-specific config): `APPDATA`, `NODE_ENV`, `PORT`, `HOSTNAME`

## Known Architectural Notes

1. `usageDb` and `localDb` share the same base directory policy (`DATA_DIR` -> `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/omniroute` -> `~/.omniroute`) with legacy file migration.
2. `/api/v1/route.ts` delegates to the same unified catalog builder used by `/api/v1/models` (`src/app/api/v1/models/catalog.ts`) to avoid semantic drift.
3. Request logger writes full headers/body when enabled; treat log directory as sensitive.
4. Cloud behavior depends on correct `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` and cloud endpoint reachability.
5. The `open-sse/` directory is published as the `@omniroute/open-sse` **npm workspace package**. Source code imports it via `@omniroute/open-sse/...` (resolved by Next.js `transpilePackages`). File paths in this document still use the directory name `open-sse/` for consistency.
6. Charts in the dashboard use **Recharts** (SVG-based) for accessible, interactive analytics visualizations (model usage bar charts, provider breakdown tables with success rates).
7. E2E tests use **Playwright** (`tests/e2e/`), run via `npm run test:e2e`. Unit tests use **Node.js test runner** (`tests/unit/`), run via `npm run test:unit`. Source code under `src/` is **TypeScript** (`.ts`/`.tsx`); the `open-sse/` workspace remains JavaScript (`.js`).
8. Settings page is organized into 7 tabs: General, Appearance, AI, Security, Routing, Resilience, Advanced. The Resilience page only configures request queue, connection cooldown, provider breaker, and wait-for-cooldown behavior; live breaker runtime state is shown on the Health page.
9. **Context Relay** strategy (`context-relay`) is split across two layers: `combo.ts` decides if a handoff should be generated, `chat.ts` injects the handoff after account resolution. Handoff data lives in `context_handoffs` SQLite table. This split is intentional because only `chat.ts` knows whether the actual account changed.
10. **Proxy enforcement** is now comprehensive: `tokenHealthCheck.ts` resolves proxy per connection, `/api/providers/validate` uses `runWithProxyContext`, and `proxyFetch.ts` uses `undici.fetch()` to maintain dispatcher compatibility on Node 22.
11. **Node.js runtime policy detection**: `/api/settings/require-login` returns `nodeVersion` and `nodeCompatible` fields. The login page renders a warning banner when the runtime falls outside the supported secure Node.js lines.

## Operational Verification Checklist

- Build from source: `npm run build`
- Build Docker image: `docker build -t omniroute .`
- Start service and verify:
- `GET /api/settings`
- `GET /api/v1/models`
- CLI target base URL should be `http://<host>:20128/v1` when `PORT=20128`
