## Code Style Guidelines

### Formatting (Prettier — enforced via lint-staged)

2 spaces · semicolons required · double quotes (`"`) · 100 char width · es5 trailing commas.
Always run `prettier --write` on changed files.

### TypeScript

- **Target**: ES2022 · **Module**: `esnext` · **Resolution**: `bundler`
- `strict: false` — prefer explicit types, don't rely on inference
- Path aliases: `@/*` → `src/`, `@omniroute/open-sse` → `open-sse/`, `@omniroute/open-sse/*` → `open-sse/*`

### ESLint Rules

- **Security (error, everywhere)**: `no-eval`, `no-implied-eval`, `no-new-func`
- **Relaxed in `open-sse/` and `tests/`**: `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` = warn
- React hooks rules and `@next/next/no-assign-module-variable` disabled in `open-sse/` and `tests/`

### Naming

| Element             | Convention                       | Example                              |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Files               | camelCase / kebab-case           | `chatCore.ts`, `tokenHealthCheck.ts` |
| React components    | PascalCase                       | `Dashboard.tsx`, `ProviderCard.tsx`  |
| Functions/variables | camelCase                        | `getHealth()`, `switchCombo()`       |
| Constants           | UPPER_SNAKE                      | `MAX_RETRIES`, `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT`     |
| Interfaces          | PascalCase (`I` prefix optional) | `ProviderConfig`                     |
| Enums               | PascalCase (members too)         | `LogLevel.Error`                     |

### Imports

- **Order**: external → internal (`@/`, `@omniroute/open-sse`) → relative (`./`, `../`)
- **No barrel imports** from `localDb.ts` — import from the specific `db/` module instead

### Error Handling

- try/catch with specific error types; always log with context (pino logger)
- Never silently swallow errors in SSE streams — use abort signals for cleanup
- Return proper HTTP status codes (4xx client, 5xx server)

### Security

- **NEVER** commit API keys, secrets, or credentials
- Validate all user inputs with Zod schemas
- Auth middleware required on all API routes
- Never log SQLite encryption keys
- Sanitize user content (dompurify for HTML)
- **Public upstream OAuth identifiers** (Gemini / Antigravity / Windsurf-style client_id/secret + Firebase Web keys extracted from public CLIs): use `resolvePublicCred()` from `open-sse/utils/publicCreds.ts`, **never** as string literals. Full pattern in `docs/security/PUBLIC_CREDS.md`.
- **Error responses** (HTTP / SSE / executor / MCP): use `buildErrorBody()` or `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`, **never** put raw `err.stack` / `err.message` in a Response body. Full pattern in `docs/security/ERROR_SANITIZATION.md`.
- **`exec()` / `spawn()` with runtime values**: pass via the `env` option, **never** string-interpolate paths/values into the script body. Reference: `src/mitm/cert/install.ts::updateNssDatabases`.
- Prefer secure-by-default libraries when available — see [tldrsec/awesome-secure-defaults](https://github.com/tldrsec/awesome-secure-defaults) for the curated list (Helmet.js, DOMPurify, ssrf-req-filter, safe-regex, Google Tink, etc.).

## Architecture

### Data Layer (`src/lib/db/`)

All persistence uses SQLite through **45+ domain-specific modules** in `src/lib/db/`. Top modules:

- Core: `core.ts`, `migrationRunner.ts`, `encryption.ts`, `stateReset.ts`
- Providers / catalog: `providers.ts`, `models.ts`, `providerLimits.ts`, `compressionAnalytics.ts`
- Routing: `combos.ts`, `modelComboMappings.ts`, `domainState.ts`, `commandCodeAuth.ts`
- Auth: `apiKeys.ts`, `secrets.ts`, `registeredKeys.ts`, `sessionAccountAffinity.ts`
- Usage / billing: `quotaSnapshots.ts`, `creditBalance.ts`, `usage*.ts`, `compressionCacheStats.ts`
- Storage: `backup.ts`, `cleanup.ts`, `jsonMigration.ts`, `healthCheck.ts`, `databaseSettings.ts`
- Extension modules: `evals.ts`, `webhooks.ts`, `reasoningCache.ts`, `readCache.ts`, `tierConfig.ts`, `compressionCombos.ts`, `compressionScheduler.ts`, `batches.ts`, `files.ts`, `syncTokens.ts`, `proxies.ts`, `oneproxy.ts`, `upstreamProxy.ts`, `versionManager.ts`, `cliToolState.ts`, `prompts.ts`, `detailedLogs.ts`, `contextHandoffs.ts`, `compression.ts`, `stats.ts`

Live count: `ls src/lib/db/*.ts | wc -l` (currently 45).
Schema migrations live in `db/migrations/` (55 files) and run via `migrationRunner.ts`.
`src/lib/localDb.ts` is a **re-export layer only** — never add logic there.

#### DB Internals

- **`core.ts`**: `getDbInstance()` returns a singleton `better-sqlite3` instance with WAL
  journaling. `SCHEMA_SQL` defines 15 base tables. Helpers: `rowToCamel`, `encryptConnectionFields`.
- **`migrationRunner.ts`**: Applies versioned SQL files from `db/migrations/` inside transactions.
  Tracks applied migrations in `_omniroute_migrations` table.
- **Migrations**: 55 files (`001_initial_schema.sql` → `055_command_code_auth_sessions.sql`).
  Each migration is idempotent and runs in a transaction. Live count: `ls src/lib/db/migrations/*.sql | wc -l`.
- **Domain modules** import `getDbInstance()` from `core.ts` for all CRUD operations.
  Each module owns a specific table/set of tables (e.g., `providers.ts` → `provider_connections`,
  `combos.ts` → `combos`). Encryption helpers protect sensitive fields at rest.
- **`localDb.ts`** re-exports all domain modules — consumers import from here for convenience.

### API Route Layer (`src/app/api/v1/`)

Next.js App Router routes — each follows a consistent pattern:

```
Route → CORS preflight → Body validation (Zod) → Optional auth (extractApiKey/isValidApiKey)
  → API key policy enforcement (enforceApiKeyPolicy) → Handler delegation (open-sse)
```

| Route                           | Handler                   | Notes                                     |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `chat/completions/route.ts`     | `handleChat()`            | + prompt injection guard (clones request) |
| `responses/route.ts`            | `handleChat()` (unified)  | Responses API format                      |
| `embeddings/route.ts`           | `handleEmbedding()`       | Model listing + creation                  |
| `images/generations/route.ts`   | `handleImageGeneration()` | Model listing + creation                  |
| `audio/transcriptions/route.ts` | audio handler             | Multipart form data                       |
| `audio/speech/route.ts`         | TTS handler               | Binary audio response                     |
| `videos/generations/route.ts`   | video handler             | ComfyUI/SD WebUI                          |
| `music/generations/route.ts`    | music handler             | ComfyUI workflows                         |
| `moderations/route.ts`          | moderation handler        | Content safety                            |
| `rerank/route.ts`               | rerank handler            | Document relevance                        |
| `search/route.ts`               | search handler            | Web search (5 providers)                  |

**No global Next.js middleware file** — interception is route-specific. Auth is optional
(controlled by `REQUIRE_API_KEY` env). Prompt injection guard is unique to chat completions.

### Request Pipeline (`open-sse/`)

The `open-sse/` workspace is the core streaming engine. Full request flow:

```
Client Request
  → src/app/api/v1/.../route.ts (Next.js route)
    → open-sse/handlers/chatCore.ts::handleChatCore()
      → Semantic/signature cache check
      → Rate limit check (rateLimitManager)
      → Combo routing? → open-sse/services/combo.ts::handleComboChat()
        → resolveComboTargets() → ordered ResolvedComboTarget[]
        → For each target: handleSingleModel() (wraps chatCore)
      → translateRequest() (open-sse/translator/)
        → Convert source format (e.g., OpenAI) → target format (e.g., Claude)
      → getExecutor() → provider-specific executor instance
        → executor.execute() (BaseExecutor → DefaultExecutor or provider-specific)
          → buildUrl() + buildHeaders() + transformRequest()
          → fetch() to upstream provider
          → Retry logic with exponential backoff
      → Response translation back to client format
      → If Responses API: responsesTransformer.ts TransformStream
  → SSE stream or JSON response to client
```

**Handlers** (`open-sse/handlers/`): `chatCore.ts`, `responsesHandler.ts`, `embeddings.ts`,
`imageGeneration.ts`, `videoGeneration.ts`, `musicGeneration.ts`, `audioSpeech.ts`,
`audioTranscription.ts`, `moderations.ts`, `rerank.ts`, `search.ts`.

**Upstream headers**: merged after default auth; same header name replaces executor value.
**T5 intra-family fallback** recomputes headers using only the fallback model id.
Forbidden header names: `src/shared/constants/upstreamHeaders.ts` — keep sanitize,
Zod schemas, and unit tests aligned when editing.

Providers are registered in `src/shared/constants/providers.ts` with Zod validation at module load.

### Executors (`open-sse/executors/`)

Provider-specific request executors: `base.ts`, `default.ts`, `cursor.ts`, `codex.ts`,
`antigravity.ts`, `github.ts`, `gemini-cli.ts`, `kiro.ts`, `qoder.ts`, `vertex.ts`,
`cloudflare-ai.ts`, `opencode.ts`, `pollinations.ts`, `puter.ts`.

#### Executor Internals

- **`base.ts`** (`BaseExecutor`): Abstract base with `buildUrl()`, `buildHeaders()`,
  `transformRequest()`, retry logic (exponential backoff), and `execute()`. Subclasses
  override URL/header/transform methods for provider-specific behavior.
- **`default.ts`** (`DefaultExecutor extends BaseExecutor`): Handles most OpenAI-compatible
  providers. Reads provider config from `providerRegistry.ts` to resolve base URL, auth
  header format, and request transformations.
- **`getExecutor()`** (`executors/index.ts`): Factory that returns the correct executor
  instance based on provider ID. Provider-specific executors (Cursor, Codex, Vertex, etc.)
  override only what differs from the default.

### Translator (`open-sse/translator/`)

Translates between API formats (OpenAI-format ↔ Anthropic, Gemini, etc.).
Includes request/response translators with helpers for image handling.

#### Translator Internals

- **`translator/index.ts`**: Exports `translateRequest()` and format constants. Called by
  `chatCore.ts` before executor dispatch.
- **Flow**: `translateRequest(body, sourceFormat, targetFormat)` → detects source format
  (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) → applies the matching translator module → returns
  transformed body ready for the target provider.
- **Response translation** runs in reverse after upstream response, converting back to
  the client's expected format.

### Transformer (`open-sse/transformer/`)

`responsesTransformer.ts` — transforms Responses API format to/from Chat Completions format.

#### Transformer Internals

- **`createResponsesApiTransformStream()`**: Returns a `TransformStream` that converts
  Chat Completions SSE chunks (`data: {"choices":[...]}`) into Responses API SSE events
  (`response.output_item.added`, `response.output_text.delta`, etc.).
- Used when the client sends a Responses API request: the request is internally converted
  to Chat Completions format, dispatched normally, and the response is piped through this
  transform stream before reaching the client.

### Services (`open-sse/services/`)

36+ service modules including: `combo.ts` (routing engine), `usage.ts`, `tokenRefresh.ts`,
`rateLimitManager.ts`, `accountFallback.ts`, `sessionManager.ts`, `wildcardRouter.ts`,
`autoCombo/`, `intentClassifier.ts`, `taskAwareRouter.ts`, `thinkingBudget.ts`,
`contextManager.ts`, `modelDeprecation.ts`, `modelFamilyFallback.ts`,
`emergencyFallback.ts`, `workflowFSM.ts`, `backgroundTaskDetector.ts`, `ipFilter.ts`,
`signatureCache.ts`, `volumeDetector.ts`, `contextHandoff.ts`, `compression/` (prompt
compression pipeline), and more.

#### Prompt Compression Pipeline (`compression/`)

Modular prompt compression that runs proactively before the existing reactive context manager.

- **`strategySelector.ts`**: Selects compression mode based on config, compression combo assignments,
  combo overrides, auto-trigger thresholds, and defaults. Priority: assigned compression combo >
  combo override > auto-trigger > default mode > off.
- **`lite.ts`**: 5 lite-mode techniques: `collapseWhitespace`, `dedupSystemPrompt`,
  `compressToolResults`, `removeRedundantContent`, `replaceImageUrls`. Target: 10-15% savings at
  <1ms latency.
- **`caveman.ts` / `cavemanRules.ts`**: Caveman-style semantic condensation backed by built-in
  rules plus file-loaded language packs under `compression/rules/`.
- **`engines/rtk/`**: Rule-based terminal/tool-output compression inspired by RTK patterns. Detects
  command output classes, applies JSON filter packs, deduplicates repeated lines, strips ANSI/code
  noise, and preserves errors/actionable context. The RTK JSON DSL supports replace,
  match-output short-circuit, strip/keep, per-line truncation, head/tail/max-line truncation,
  inline tests, trust-gated project/global custom filters, and optional redacted raw-output
  retention for authenticated recovery.
- **`engines/registry.ts`**: Registers engines (`caveman`, `rtk`) and powers stacked pipelines.
- **`stats.ts`**: Per-request compression stats tracking (original tokens, compressed tokens,
  savings %, techniques used, engine breakdown, compression combo id).
- **`types.ts`**: `CompressionMode` (off/lite/standard/aggressive/ultra/rtk/stacked),
  `CompressionConfig`, `CompressionStats`, `CompressionResult`.
- DB settings in `src/lib/db/compression.ts`, compression combos in
  `src/lib/db/compressionCombos.ts`, API routes under `src/app/api/settings/compression/`,
  `src/app/api/context/*`, and preview/language-pack routes under `src/app/api/compression/*`.

#### Combo Routing Engine (`combo.ts`)

- **`handleComboChat()`**: Entry point for combo-routed requests. Receives the combo config
  and iterates through targets in order until one succeeds or all fail.
- **`resolveComboTargets()`**: Expands a combo configuration into an ordered array of
  `ResolvedComboTarget[]`, each specifying provider + model + account + credentials.
- **Strategies** (14): priority, weighted, fill-first, round-robin, P2C, random, least-used, reset-aware (v3.8),
  cost-optimized, strict-random, auto, lkgp, context-optimized, context-relay.
- Each target calls **`handleSingleModel()`** which wraps `handleChatCore()` with
  per-target error handling and circuit breaker checks.

### Domain Layer (`src/domain/`)

Policy engine modules: `policyEngine.ts`, `comboResolver.ts`, `costRules.ts`,
`degradation.ts`, `fallbackPolicy.ts`, `lockoutPolicy.ts`, `modelAvailability.ts`,
`providerExpiration.ts`, `quotaCache.ts`, `responses.ts`, `configAudit.ts`.

### MCP Server (`open-sse/mcp-server/`)

37 tools (30 base + 3 memory + 4 skills), 3 transports (stdio / SSE / Streamable HTTP). Scoped auth (~13 scopes), Zod schemas. See [`docs/frameworks/MCP-SERVER.md`](docs/frameworks/MCP-SERVER.md).

**Core tools** (20): get_health, list_combos, get_combo_metrics, switch_combo, check_quota,
route_request, cost_report, list_models_catalog, web_search, simulate_route, set_budget_guard,
set_routing_strategy, set_resilience_profile, test_combo, get_provider_metrics,
best_combo_for_task, explain_route, get_session_snapshot, db_health_check, sync_pricing.

**Cache tools** (2): cache_stats, cache_flush.

**Compression tools** (5): compression_status, compression_configure, set_compression_engine,
list_compression_combos, compression_combo_stats.

**1proxy tools** (3): oneproxy_fetch, oneproxy_rotate, oneproxy_stats.

**Memory tools** (3): memory_search, memory_add, memory_clear.

**Skill tools** (4): skills_list, skills_enable, skills_execute, skills_executions.

#### MCP Internals

- **Tool registration**: Each tool is an object with `{ name, description, inputSchema: ZodSchema,
handler: async (args) => {...} }`. Zod validates inputs before the handler fires.
- **`createMcpServer()`** and **`startMcpStdio()`** exported from `mcp-server/index.ts`.
  `createMcpServer()` wires all tool sets; `startMcpStdio()` launches the stdio transport.
- **Transports**: stdio (CLI `omniroute --mcp`), SSE (`/api/mcp/sse`), Streamable HTTP
  (`/api/mcp/stream`). All share the same tool/scope engine.
- **Scopes** (10): Control which tool categories an API key can access. Enforcement happens
  before handler dispatch.
- **Audit**: Every tool invocation is logged to SQLite (`mcp_audit` table) with tool name,
  args, success/failure, API key attribution, and timestamp.

### A2A Server (`src/lib/a2a/`)

JSON-RPC 2.0, SSE streaming, Task Manager with TTL cleanup.
Agent Card at `/.well-known/agent.json`.
Skills (5): `smartRouting.ts`, `quotaManagement.ts`, `providerDiscovery.ts`, `costAnalysis.ts`, `healthReport.ts`.

#### A2A Internals

- **`taskManager.ts`**: State machine lifecycle for tasks: `submitted → working →
completed | failed | canceled`. Tasks have TTL and are cleaned up automatically.
- **JSON-RPC methods**: `message/send` (sync), `message/stream` (SSE), `tasks/get`,
  `tasks/cancel`. Dispatched via `POST /a2a`.
- **Skills**: Registered in a DB-backed registry. Each skill receives task context
  (messages, metadata) and returns structured results. `quotaManagement.ts` summarizes
  quota; `smartRouting.ts` recommends routing decisions.
- **Agent Card**: `/.well-known/agent.json` exposes capabilities, skills, and metadata
  for client auto-discovery.

### ACP Module (`src/lib/acp/`)

Agent Communication Protocol registry and manager.

### Memory System (`src/lib/memory/`)

Extraction, injection, retrieval, summarization, and store modules for persistent
conversational memory across sessions.

### Skills System (`src/lib/skills/`)

Extensible skill framework: registry, executor, sandbox, built-in skills,
custom skill support, interception, and injection.

#### Skills Internals

- **`registry.ts`**: DB-backed skill registration and discovery. Skills have metadata
  (name, description, version, enabled status) stored in SQLite.
- **`executor.ts`**: Execution engine with configurable timeout and retry logic.
  Receives skill name + input, looks up the skill, runs it in the sandbox.
- **`sandbox.ts`**: Isolation layer for custom (user-provided) skills. Limits resource
  access and execution time.
- **Built-in skills**: Ship with OmniRoute (e.g., quota management, routing). Located
  alongside the registry.
- **Interception/Injection**: Skills can intercept requests in the pipeline (pre/post
  processing) or inject context into prompts.

### Compliance (`src/lib/compliance/`)

Policy index for compliance enforcement.

### MITM Proxy (`src/mitm/`)

MITM proxy capability with certificate management, DNS handling, and target routing.

### Middleware (`src/middleware/`)

Request middleware including `promptInjectionGuard.ts`.

### Guardrails (`src/lib/guardrails/`)

Hot-reloadable guardrails framework (3 built-in: pii-masker, prompt-injection, vision-bridge). Fail-open; per-request opt-out via header. See [`docs/security/GUARDRAILS.md`](docs/security/GUARDRAILS.md).

### Cloud Agents (`src/lib/cloudAgent/`)

`CloudAgentBase` abstract class + 3 agents (codex-cloud, devin, jules). Tasks persisted in `cloud_agent_tasks`; management auth required. See [`docs/frameworks/CLOUD_AGENT.md`](docs/frameworks/CLOUD_AGENT.md).

### Evals (`src/lib/evals/`)

Generic eval framework: `evalRunner.ts`, `runtime.ts`. Targets: combo / model / suite-default. See [`docs/frameworks/EVALS.md`](docs/frameworks/EVALS.md).

### Webhooks (`src/lib/webhookDispatcher.ts`)

HMAC-signed delivery, exponential backoff, auto-disable after 10 failures. 7 event types. See [`docs/frameworks/WEBHOOKS.md`](docs/frameworks/WEBHOOKS.md).

### Authorization Pipeline (`src/server/authz/`)

`classify → policies → enforce`. 3 route classes (PUBLIC / CLIENT_API / MANAGEMENT). See [`docs/architecture/AUTHZ_GUIDE.md`](docs/architecture/AUTHZ_GUIDE.md).

### Reasoning Replay (`src/lib/db/reasoningCache.ts` + `open-sse/services/reasoningCache.ts`)

Hybrid in-memory + SQLite cache for `reasoning_content`. Re-injects on multi-turn for strict providers (DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2, Qwen-Thinking, GLM, xiaomi-mimo). See [`docs/routing/REASONING_REPLAY.md`](docs/routing/REASONING_REPLAY.md).

### Tunnels (`src/lib/{cloudflaredTunnel,ngrokTunnel}.ts` + `src/app/api/tunnels/`)

Cloudflare Quick/Named, ngrok, Tailscale Funnel. See [`docs/ops/TUNNELS_GUIDE.md`](docs/ops/TUNNELS_GUIDE.md).

### Adding a New Provider

1. Register in `src/shared/constants/providers.ts`
2. Add executor in `open-sse/executors/` (if custom logic needed)
3. Add translator in `open-sse/translator/` (if non-OpenAI format)
4. Add OAuth config in `src/lib/oauth/constants/oauth.ts` (if OAuth-based)
5. Add models in `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts`

## Fork / Upstream Workflow

This repository is a fork of `diegosouzapw/OmniRoute`. Keep fork-only operational
changes (for example GHCR image publishing, personal deployment workflows, or local
automation) out of upstream contribution PRs.

When preparing a PR for upstream, always start the work branch from `upstream/main`,
not from this fork's `main`:

```bash
git fetch upstream
git switch -c <branch-name> upstream/main
```

Only cherry-pick or reapply the changes intended for the upstream PR.

## Review Focus

- **DB ops** go through `src/lib/db/` modules, never raw SQL in routes
- **Provider requests** flow through `open-sse/handlers/`
- **MCP/A2A pages** are tabs inside `/dashboard/endpoint`, not standalone routes
- **No memory leaks** in SSE streams (abort signals, cleanup)
- **Rate limit headers** must be parsed correctly
- All API inputs validated with **Zod schemas**
- **Provider constants** validated at module load via Zod (`src/shared/validation/providerSchema.ts`)
- **Pricing data** syncs from LiteLLM via `src/lib/pricingSync.ts`
- **Memory/Skills** are cross-cutting: affect MCP tools, request pipeline, and A2A skills
- **⛔ NEVER close a contributor's PR** after using their code — always merge via GitHub so they get credit. See `.agents/workflows/review-prs.md` for full policy.
