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 (226 providers, 60 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)
• Music generation via /v1/music/generations (ComfyUI)
• Web search via /v1/search (5 providers)
• Moderations via /v1/moderations
• Reranking via /v1/rerank
• Think tag parsing (<think>...</think>) for reasoning models
• Response sanitization for strict OpenAI SDK compatibility
• Role normalization (developer→system, system→user) for cross-provider compatibility
• Structured output conversion (json_schema → Gemini responseSchema)
• Local persistence for providers, keys, aliases, combos, settings, pricing (26 DB modules)

• 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 (87 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

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:

• 17 routing strategies (priority, weighted, fill-first, round-robin, P2C, random, least-used, cost-optimized, reset-aware, reset-window, headroom, strict-random, auto, lkgp, context-optimized, context-relay, fusion, plus a fallback path) — auto is the headline addition in v3.8.0; fusion (panel fan-out + judge synthesis, open-sse/services/fusion.ts) is new in v3.8.36.
• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
• Claude Code CCH (Compatibility Channel Handshake): open-sse/services/claudeCodeCCH.ts, plus claudeCodeCompatible.ts, claudeCodeConstraints.ts, claudeCodeExtraRemap.ts, claudeCodeToolRemapper.ts
• Claude Code fingerprint shaping: open-sse/services/claudeCodeFingerprint.ts
• Claude Code obfuscation: open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts
• ChatGPT TLS client: open-sse/services/chatgptTlsClient.ts (curl-impersonate style for ChatGPT-Web sessions)
• ChatGPT image cache: open-sse/services/chatgptImageCache.ts

For the full stealth playbook and operational guidance, see docs/security/STEALTH_GUIDE.md.

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.
• 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.
• 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

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.

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
