Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added verification-gated routing that selects appropriate handling for coding, chat, agentic, and other request types.
    • Added request analysis using task context, conversation content, assistant attempts, and tool activity.
    • Added safeguards that reject incomplete, unsupported, or oversized inputs and default to safer handling when evidence is insufficient.
    • Added automatic redaction of credential-like tokens and email addresses from extracted conversation text.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for routing decisions, safety fallbacks, secret redaction, and input-size limits.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds the private VGR module, request transcript normalization, capability derivation, branch selection, and tests for routing precedence, fail-closed behavior, redaction, and input limits.

Changes

Verification-Gated Routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transcript extraction and validation
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/vgr/text.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/vgr/tests.rs
Supported request content is extracted into redacted transcripts. Empty, unsupported, missing-task, and oversized inputs are rejected. Code and tool activity detection is added.
Capability derivation and branch selection
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/vgr.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms.rs
The private vgr module is registered. Capabilities, TaskType, and Branch are added. Capability derivation and branch precedence are implemented.
Routing validation
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/vgr/tests.rs
Tests cover task types, default verification, local attempt restrictions, fail-closed routing, secret redaction, and transcript size limits.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 47b2c

Verification-gated routing is not connected to runtime routing, and its size guard accepts oversized redacted inputs if it is enabled. Complete the integration and enforce the source-size bound before merging.

Wire the VGR helpers into production routing. derive_capabilities and select_branch have no non-test callers. Production Algorithm implementations and server routing code do not reference the private vgr module. Therefore, the Verification-Gated Routing code has no runtime routing effect. Add the production delegation or integration boundary that invokes both helpers.

Add comments for non-obvious helpers and behavior tests.

The Rust guidelines require concise comments for private helpers with non-obvious behavior and tests that encode important behavior. Add comments for:

  • content_text: explain recursive extraction and fail-closed handling of unsupported content.
  • observed_code_activity and observed_tool_activity: explain the activity markers that each detector recognizes.
  • The four tests: document their branch-selection, fail-closed, capability-source, and redaction/input-boundary invariants.

This requirement does not apply to the pub(super) RequestView declaration.

Enforce the size limit before redaction.

request_view redacts each input before it builds transcript, then checks only the redacted transcript length. Therefore, a request or attempt larger than 24,000 characters can pass when a redaction pattern replaces most of its text. latest_user preserves the original value in task_text, and derive_capabilities stores the original attempt, so Capabilities can retain the oversized source value.

The existing test covers only an oversized unredacted "x" value. Add a regression test for an oversized value that matches a redaction pattern, and enforce the limit on source characters before redaction and cloning.
