docs: Chaos Mode setup guide + weighted strategy semantics (#12250)

Gap surfaced by OmniCopilot#16: the Chaos Mode dashboard page, its per-key
chaosModeEnabled permission and both dispatch endpoints had no setup doc at
all (only the auto/chaos table line existed), and AUTO-COMBO.md never stated
that weighted is a proportional draw where zero-weight steps are never drawn.
New docs/guides/CHAOS-MODE.md (registered in meta.json + docs/README.md) and
a 'weighted semantics' subsection under the strategy table, both written from
the code (chaosConfig.ts, chaosExecutor.ts, both routes, targetSorters.ts,
targetResolution.ts). check:docs-all exits 0.

# Chaos Mode
> **Dashboard:** **Chaos Mode** (sidebar) → `/dashboard/chaos`
> **API:** `GET` / `PUT` `/api/chaos/config` · `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) · `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (API key)
> **Source:** `src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`, `src/lib/chaos/chaosConfig.ts`
Chaos Mode sends **one task to several providers at once** — every participating provider
contributes one model instance, and you get all the answers side by side (or chained). It is a
multi-model execution surface, not a routing strategy: your normal `/v1/chat/completions`
traffic is never affected by it.
**Disambiguation — three different things ship with "chaos" in the name:**
| Thing | What it is | Where documented |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Chaos Mode** | The dashboard page + API described here: fan one task out to many providers (parallel or collaborative). | This guide |
| `auto/chaos` | An Auto-Combo model id with fault-injection scoring weights, for resilience testing. Nothing to configure. | [AUTO-COMBO.md](../routing/AUTO-COMBO.md) |
| Chaos combo config | A persisted combo with `config.chaos.enabled` fans out to a panel with an optional judge model (API-only). | `open-sse/services/autoCombo/chaosEngine.ts` |
## Setup
1. Open **Dashboard → Chaos Mode** (`/dashboard/chaos`).
2. Turn it **on** — Chaos Mode ships **disabled by default** (`enabled: false` in
`src/lib/chaos/chaosConfig.ts`). While disabled, `POST /api/chaos/run` answers
`400 — "Chaos Mode is not enabled. Enable it in Dashboard → Chaos Mode."`.
3. Pick the participants and defaults (persisted per instance via the settings store):
| Field | Meaning | Default / limits |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | Master switch | `false` |
| `defaultMode` | `parallel` or `collaborative` (see below) | `parallel` |
| `providerOverrides` | Per-provider participation (`providerId`, optional `modelId`, `enabled`) | empty = every active provider, max 200 |
| `systemPrompt` | Override for the built-in Chaos system prompt | optional, max 10 000 chars |
| `timeoutMs` | Max time per model call | `120000` (5 000600 000) |
| `maxTokens` | `max_tokens` per model call | `4096` (256128 000) |
4. Run a **test from the page itself** — the results panel shows each provider's answer,
status and duration.
## Execution modes
- **`parallel`** — every model gets the same task simultaneously; you receive all answers
independently.
- **`collaborative`** — models run **in a chain**: each one sees the previous model's output and
is asked to refine, extend, critique or offer an alternative. The response's `summary` field
concatenates the successful outputs in chain order (parallel runs have no `summary`).
## API
### `POST /api/chaos/run` — dashboard session
Cookie-authenticated (the management session — see
[MANAGEMENT-AUTH.md](MANAGEMENT-AUTH.md)); used by the dashboard page.
```jsonc
// body
{
"task": "Compare approaches to X", // required
"providers": ["glm", "kimi"], // optional filter
"mode": "parallel", // optional — overrides defaultMode
"systemPrompt": "…", // optional override
"maxTokens": 4096 // optional override
}
```
### `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` — API key
Bearer-token variant for external callers. The key must carry the **Chaos Mode permission**
(`chaosModeEnabled`), which is **off by default** — enable it per key in
**Dashboard → API Manager → edit key → permissions → Chaos Mode**. Same body as above.
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/api/skills/collect/chaos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"task":"Compare approaches to X","mode":"parallel"}'
```
Both endpoints return the same shape:
```jsonc
{
"task": "…",
"mode": "parallel",
"startedAt": "2026-09-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"totalProviders": 3,
"totalResults": 3,
"models": [
{ "providerId": "glm", "providerName": "GLM", "modelId": "glm-4.7",
"status": "success", "content": "…", "durationMs": 3210 }
],
"summary": "…" // collaborative mode only
}
```
## Troubleshooting
- **`400 Chaos Mode is not enabled`** — step 2 above: the global switch is off.
- **API key gets rejected on `/api/skills/collect/chaos`** — the key lacks the per-key
`chaosModeEnabled` permission (off by default; this is a setting, not an error).
- **A provider you expected is missing from the results** — check `providerOverrides` on the
Chaos Mode page (a disabled override excludes it) and whether the provider connection is
active.

### `weighted` semantics
`weighted` is a **proportional random draw per request**
(`open-sse/services/combo/targetSorters.ts``selectWeightedTarget`), not an equalizer:
- Each request draws **one** step with probability `weight / totalWeight`; the remaining steps
are ordered by descending weight as the fallback chain for that request.
- A step whose weight is `0` (or missing) is **never drawn** while any other step has a
weight > 0 — it can only serve as a fallback after the drawn step fails. Only when **all**
weights are 0 does selection become uniform.
- Steps whose targets are all unavailable — provider circuit breaker `OPEN`, connection
cooldown, model lockout — are removed from the draw before it happens
(`open-sse/services/combo/targetResolution.ts`), so a single healthy step can temporarily
win every request.
- `stickyWeightedLimit` (combo config, default `1` = off) pins the drawn step for that many
consecutive successes before re-drawing.
For strict rotation use `round-robin`; equal weights on `weighted` give statistical — not
strict — balance.
## Fusion Strategy
`fusion` is the one strategy that does **not** pick a single target. It fans the prompt
