inferrouter 0.1.3

Loop-aware router and tracing for coding agents (Claude Code, Codex). Routes workflow steps by phase and evidence and records hash-only cost/cache/verification/outcome receipts.

InferRouter

Loop-aware model routing and hash-only evidence for coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex.

Status: alpha. The package, import, and CLI are all inferrouter. InferGuard is a separate diagnostics product.

MVP

one coding task
→ one observed coding loop
→ safe model/provider choices by phase
→ tools and tests
→ verification
→ accepted or rejected result
→ one complete hash-only receipt chain

Primary metric: cost per accepted patch at required quality and p95/p99 full-loop latency.

Current milestone

Built:

request-level gateway and protocol adapters
hard tenant/capability/protocol/tool/context/latency gates
provider cooldown and bounded affinity
pre-first-byte fallback
spend controls and hash-only receipts
loop, verification, and outcome ledgers
TaskEnvelopeV1 and ContextFingerprintV1
cross-runtime canonicalization and tenant-scoped fingerprints

Next:

1. Packet 1B receipt observability
2. accepted-task baseline-versus-routed canary
3. one provider-reported cache experiment
4. one second-provider outage drill
5. bounded worker lifecycle

Install

uv tool install .
# or
pip install .

After the first PyPI publication for the current package version:

uv tool install inferrouter

This installs inferrouter and inferrouter-routerd.

Coding-loop quickstart

inferrouter loop goal \
  --loop-id fix_auth_tests \
  --goal "auth tests pass" \
  --verify "python -m pytest tests/auth -q" \
  --max-turns 5 --agent codex \
  -- codex exec "fix the failing auth tests"

Hash-only local evidence is written under .touchdown/:

.touchdown/loops/loop_runs.jsonl
.touchdown/loops/verifications.jsonl
.touchdown/session.json

Other commands:

inferrouter loop turn --agent generic -- <command>
inferrouter loop report [--loop-id L]
inferrouter loop usage [--by loop|task|phase|provider|model]
inferrouter doctor --split
inferrouter --help

Claude Code and Codex launchers

inferrouter claude -- -p "summarize the failing test log"
inferrouter codex -- summarize the failing test log

The split proxy is explicit and self-managed:

inferrouter proxy status
inferrouter proxy stop

The gateway routes API requests. It does not silently intercept every local prompt and does not create subagents by itself.

Production gateway

The documented gateway is:

https://touchdown-router.odd-star-67a4.workers.dev

Request path:

customer request
→ tenant/capability/protocol/tool/context/latency gates
→ cheapest viable configured route
→ bounded provider fallback
→ protocol-correct stream
→ hash-only receipt

Repository main may be ahead of the live Worker. A merged feature is not a deployment claim. Use the progress tracker and runbook for current live evidence.

Safety defaults

• Package-local commands make no live provider call unless explicitly configured.
• Raw prompts, source code, tool content, outputs, and credentials stay out of receipts and reports.
• Unsupported protocol semantics fail closed.
• Fallback happens only before client-visible output.
• Cost never overrides tenant, safety, capability, protocol, tool, context, or latency eligibility.

Development

python -m pytest -q
uv build
bash scripts/package_smoke.sh

The import package, distribution name, and CLI command are all inferrouter.
