feat(routing): subscription-first auto groupings (auto/subscription, auto/thrifty) [defer to 3.8.51] (#11146 )

Merged into release/v3.8.51 via batch validation: subscription-ladder + free-regime vitest suites green (32/32) on the combined tree, check:provider-consistency OK (353 canonical providers), static gates green (virtualFactory.ts frozen at merge size with dated rebaseline). Also pushed a docs commit marking rungBudgetUsd as not-yet-enforced per review, and synced the branch onto the updated release tip. Strong opt-in design failing closed where money is involved — thanks @yourspraveen!

+- **feat(routing):** subscription-first auto groupings — `auto/subscription` routes only through plan-included connections with a documented hard-stop overage and fails closed on exhaustion, while `auto/thrifty` orders the pool `subscription → keyless → free → cheap → premium` and steps up one rung at a time as each is exhausted. Billing class comes from a curated per-connection catalog (uncurated is treated as metered, never plan-included), both reuse STRICT_ZERO_COST's per-connection verification, and a quota reading whose `resetAt` has passed is now refreshed regardless of TTL so routing returns to plan capacity as soon as it resets ([#11146](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/11146))

+# Subscription-first routing
+
+> Two new `auto/*` ids — `auto/subscription` and `auto/thrifty`. Both are opt-in by being
+> requested: nothing routes through them unless a caller asks for the id by name, and no
+> existing pool, strategy, or default changes.
+
+## Why this exists
+
+OmniRoute already answers two cost questions, and neither is the one most operators ask.
+
+| Existing mechanism                                       | Answers                             |
+| -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| `hidePaidModels` (`autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts`)        | "is this model catalogued free?"    |
+| `freeAccessPolicy: "strict"` (`strictZeroCostFilter.ts`) | "can this connection ever bill me?" |
+| `quotaPreflight` (`combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`)      | "is this connection near its wall?" |
+| `budgetCap` / `budgetFallback` (`autoCombo/engine.ts`)   | "cap spend, degrade to cheapest"    |
+
+Every free-only mechanism **fails closed** — an exhausted free pool is an empty pool, never a
+step up to a paid option — and every paid-side mechanism is tier-agnostic. Neither answers:
+
+> "Use the quota I already pay for. When it runs out, either stop, or step up one rung at a
+> time through the cheapest paid options — and come back the moment it resets."
+
+## Billing is a connection fact, not a model fact
+
+`classifyTier()` (`open-sse/services/tierResolver.ts`) keys on `(provider, model)` and returns
+`free | cheap | premium` from catalog pricing. But whether a request costs incremental money
+depends on **which connection serves it**: the same model is plan-included through a Claude Code
+OAuth connection and billed per token through an API-key connection.
+
+`provider_connections.auth_type` is not a safe proxy in either direction — metered OAuth
+connections exist, and plan-included API-key connections exist (a Copilot seat token is not a
+metered API key). So billing class comes from a **curated catalog**,
+`open-sse/config/connectionBillingCatalog.ts`, hand-set from each provider's published terms —
+the same pattern `FreeModelBudget.hardStopGuaranteed` already established for free models.
+
+```ts
+type ConnectionBillingClass = "subscription" | "metered" | "keyless" | "unknown";
+type ConnectionOverageBehavior = "hard-stop" | "meters-to-paid" | "unknown";
+```
+
+Resolution order (`autoCombo/connectionBilling.ts`): the synthetic no-auth sentinel →
+`keyless`; a catalog entry matching provider **and** `authType`; a provider-wide entry;
+otherwise `unknown`. **Uncurated is not free** — `unknown` is consumed as `metered`
+everywhere, so a provider added tomorrow starts outside the subscription rung and has to be
+curated in deliberately.
+
+## The rung model
+
+Five rungs in escalation order. They differ in more than price — each has its **own**
+exhaustion signal, which is why this is not merely a sort.
+
+| #   | Rung           | Membership                                         | Exhausted when                |
+| --- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| 0   | `subscription` | curated `billing: "subscription"`                  | quota window at/below cutoff  |
+| 1   | `keyless`      | the synthetic no-auth path                         | connection cooldown / breaker |
+| 2   | `free`         | metered connection, `classifyTier() === "free"`    | free allowance exhausted      |
+| 3   | `cheap`        | metered connection, `classifyTier() === "cheap"`   | per-rung budget consumed      |
+| 4   | `premium`      | metered connection, `classifyTier() === "premium"` | per-rung budget consumed      |
+
+Rungs 0-2 exhaust on **quota**, which is observable and already tracked. Rungs 3-4 have no
+quota — a paid connection serves forever — so their only sane exhaustion signal is a per-rung
+**budget**. Without one, "escalate when cheap is exhausted" has no trigger.
+
+## `auto/subscription` — fail closed
+
+Pool = rung 0 only, restricted to connections whose overage is a documented `hard-stop`, each
+verified live to have quota headroom. Everything ambiguous is excluded: an uncurated provider,
+an unverifiable quota reading, a stale reading, or an overage that meters to paid.
+
+An empty pool is the **intended** answer, not a defect — the caller's existing empty-pool path
+turns it into a clear error rather than a silent, billable fallback. That is the whole promise
+of the id.
+
+`keyless` deliberately does **not** qualify: this grouping means "the plan I pay for", so a
+no-auth backend does not belong in it. Use `auto/thrifty` (or `auto/best-free`) for that.
+
+### Connection safety
+
+A candidate is not always tied to one connection — a logical candidate carries an
+`allowedConnectionIds` allowlist, and the account actually used is chosen later, at dispatch,
+by `open-sse/services/combo/autoStrategy.ts`. Both groupings therefore verify **each connection
+individually** and rewrite `allowedConnectionIds` down to exactly the surviving subset — never
+the full original list, never one arbitrarily-chosen member. Because `autoStrategy.ts` already
+enforces that array as a hard allowlist, rewriting it here makes "verified" and "actually used"
+the same set by construction. This is the same invariant, and the same reasoning, as
+[STRICT_ZERO_COST](./STRICT_ZERO_COST.md).
+
+## `auto/thrifty` — escalate one rung at a time
+
+Pool = all rungs, ordered by rung index, with exhausted candidates gated out. The `auto` engine
+still scores **within** the surviving pool: the ladder decides which rungs are in play, scoring
+decides which candidate wins inside them. Ordering is stable within a rung, so the scorer's own
+ranking is never reshuffled by this overlay.
+
+This is an ordering + gating overlay, **not** a new dispatcher: `combo.ts`'s speculative loop
+already walks targets in order and falls through on failure, so a runtime exhaustion the
+preflight did not catch still escalates to the next rung inside the same request.
+
+Where `auto/subscription` fails closed, `auto/thrifty` fails **open**: a plan-included
+connection with no usable quota reading is still tried first. Trying it costs nothing, and if
+it turns out to be exhausted the fall-through reaches the next rung anyway — whereas refusing
+to try it would send the request to a paid rung on missing telemetry, the exact outcome the
+grouping exists to avoid.
+
+## Returning to the plan after a reset
+
+Three independent things must expire before routing returns to rung 0. Fixing only one leaves
+the ladder stuck on paid rungs long after the plan refilled.
+
+1. **The quota-state cache** — `freeAccessQuota.ts` caches per `(provider, connection)` with a
+   180s TTL. A cached entry whose own `resetAt` has already passed describes a window that no
+   longer exists, so it is now treated as stale **regardless of age** and forces a refresh.
+   Without this, a plan that refilled at midnight keeps reading exhausted until the TTL happens
+   to lapse.
+2. **The ladder's own state** — there is none, by design. Rung eligibility is recomputed from
+   live quota state on every pool build; no persisted "currently on rung 3" record exists that
+   could outlive a reset and wedge routing.
+3. **The connection cooldown** — the exhausting 429 sets `rateLimitedUntil` from exponential
+   backoff, which for a plan connection can overshoot the real reset. `clampCooldownToReset()`
+   (`subscriptionLadder.ts`) narrows a cooldown to the upstream's own reset instant and can
+   never extend one. **It is implemented and tested but not yet wired**: the quota cache is
+   invalidated in `src/sse/services/auth.ts` _before_ any cooldown is written, so `resetAt`
+   must be captured earlier in that function — a change to the resilience hot path that
+   belongs in its own reviewed PR. Until then, re-entry waits out the connection cooldown
+   (which already prefers upstream `Retry-After` hints when the provider sends them).
+
+### Anti-flap
+
+A rung that just reset is re-admitted only above `reentryMinRemainingPercent` (default 5),
+while a connection already in play only has to stay above `exitCutoffPercent` (default 2,
+matching `quotaPreflight.defaultThresholdPercent`). The gap is the hysteresis band — without
+it, a connection hovering at the cutoff oscillates between rungs on consecutive requests.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Tuning only. There is deliberately **no** `enabled` flag: a toggle able to switch these off
+would leave `auto/subscription` quietly serving the full pool — paid models included — under a
+name that promises the opposite.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "subscriptionLadder": {
+    "exitCutoffPercent": 2,
+    "reentryMinRemainingPercent": 5,
+    "rungBudgetUsd": { "cheap": 5.0, "premium": 0 }, // 0 disables a rung outright
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Budget gating is inert until a spend resolver is wired: with no accounting available a paid
+rung is ordered but never gated. As of v3.8.51 the `rungBudgetUsd` setting is accepted by the
+schema but NOT yet enforced — treat it as reserved configuration, not an active spend cap. Rung ordering, quota-based exhaustion, and reset re-entry all
+work without it.
+
+## Composition
+
+`subscription` and `thrifty` are `AutoTier` values, so they compose with every category:
+`auto/coding:thrifty`, `auto/reasoning:subscription`, and so on. The two flat ids
+(`auto/subscription`, `auto/thrifty`) are advertised in `/v1/models` and the dashboard.
+
+Neither id is paid-tier, so `isPaidTierAutoId()` returns `false` for both and
+`auto/subscription` survives `hidePaidModels`.

+/**
+ * Curated billing classification for provider CONNECTIONS.
+ *
+ * The economic tier resolver (`open-sse/services/tierResolver.ts`) answers
+ * "how much does this MODEL cost per token?" — a fact about the catalog. It
+ * cannot answer the question subscription-first routing actually needs:
+ *
+ *   "does serving this request through THIS connection cost incremental money,
+ *    or is it already covered by a flat-rate plan the operator pays anyway?"
+ *
+ * That is a property of the credential, not the model: `claude/claude-*` is
+ * plan-included through a Claude Code OAuth connection and billed per token
+ * through an API-key connection — same provider, same model, opposite
+ * economics.
+ *
+ * `provider_connections.auth_type` alone is NOT a safe proxy in either
+ * direction: metered OAuth connections exist (cloud-billed OAuth), and
+ * plan-included API-key connections exist (Copilot seat tokens). So this is a
+ * CURATED table, hand-set from each provider's published terms — deliberately
+ * the same pattern `FreeModelBudget.hardStopGuaranteed`
+ * (`open-sse/config/freeModelCatalog.ts`) already established: a fact about
+ * the upstream's commercial terms, never derived from `authType` and never
+ * inferred from a live API response.
+ *
+ * Uncurated is not "free": anything absent here resolves to `unknown`, which
+ * every consumer treats as `metered`. New providers therefore start OUTSIDE
+ * the subscription rung and have to be curated in deliberately — the same
+ * fail-safe direction STRICT_ZERO_COST uses for uncatalogued models.

+ * - `metered` — pay-per-token / pay-per-credit. Every request adds spend.

Praveen K Palaniswamy	b39e5ecb20	feat(routing): subscription-first auto groupings (auto/subscription, auto/thrifty) [defer to 3.8.51] (#11146 ) Merged into release/v3.8.51 via batch validation: subscription-ladder + free-regime vitest suites green (32/32) on the combined tree, check:provider-consistency OK (353 canonical providers), static gates green (virtualFactory.ts frozen at merge size with dated rebaseline). Also pushed a docs commit marking rungBudgetUsd as not-yet-enforced per review, and synced the branch onto the updated release tip. Strong opt-in design failing closed where money is involved — thanks @yourspraveen!	2026-08-25 01:44:24 -03:00
Burak Bayır	a0ceccc6f0	feat(search): add Xquik X search provider (#11370 ) Merged into release/v3.8.51 via batch validation: xquik provider suites green on the combined tree (193 node:test assertions incl. your 7 new cases), check:provider-consistency OK (353 canonical providers), static gates green. Well-scoped fallbackOnly X-provider with clean citation building — thanks @kriptoburak!	2026-08-25 01:39:39 -03:00

Nice additive observability layer over the #10362 lease backend — thanks @KaspaPulse!	2026-08-25 01:38:59 -03:00
Aman	613fc71e98	feat(providers): publish web-session credential contract (#11340 ) Merged into release/v3.8.51 via batch validation: node:test web-session-contract suite green on the combined tree, static gates green (file-size/complexity/cognitive/changelog/typecheck). Clean credential-contract surface — thanks @Zartharas!	2026-08-25 01:38:39 -03:00
Dizzle	c472dbccc4	fix(free-models): stop reporting discontinued Pollinations models as free (#11441 ) Merged into release/v3.8.51 via batch validation (combined tree): vitest autoCombo suite 32/32 incl. free-regime-not-read-by-predicate, static gates green (file-size / complexity / cognitive / changelog-integrity / typecheck:core). Compiler-checked FREE_REGIME_TRAITS table eliminating the discontinued-as-free routing bug — excellent work, thanks @maxmad64bis!	2026-08-25 01:37:45 -03:00

				- feat(routing): subscription-first auto groupings — `auto/subscription` routes only through plan-included connections with a documented hard-stop overage and fails closed on exhaustion, while `auto/thrifty` orders the pool `subscription → keyless → free → cheap → premium` and steps up one rung at a time as each is exhausted. Billing class comes from a curated per-connection catalog (uncurated is treated as metered, never plan-included), both reuse STRICT_ZERO_COST's per-connection verification, and a quota reading whose `resetAt` has passed is now refreshed regardless of TTL so routing returns to plan capacity as soon as it resets ([#11146](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/11146))
