Summary

  • add an optional OpenAI-compatible GLiNER classifier sidecar for Switchyard custom routing
  • add a four-target example configuration with semantic-label indirection and schema validation
  • add hermetic contract tests plus reproducible GLiNER and TypeSafe comparison benchmarks
  • document CPU/GPU latency, classification quality, adversarial behavior, confidence limitations, and production recommendations

Results

The committed 32-case scored suite produced:

Classifier Overall Ordinary Adversarial Median latency
GLiNER, single A100 80 GB 78.1% 87.5% 50.0% 20.1 ms
GLiNER, local CPU 78.1% 87.5% 50.0% 54.6 ms
TypeSafe Jev, remote API 96.9% 100% 87.5% 266.3 ms

The topologies differ, so latency is reported as observed router overhead rather than a hardware-normalized model comparison. The report retains the complete GPU sample, including a 366.7 ms outlier.

End-to-end smoke testing verified all four paths through the current Switchyard server: classifier call, strict structured verdict, custom policy selection, and downstream dispatch.

Validation

  • python3 -m unittest examples/gliner-router/test_server.py
  • ruff check examples/gliner-router
  • ruff format --check examples/gliner-router
  • focused switchyard-server custom-classifier integration test
  • repository pre-commit hooks for every added file
  • live CPU and single-GPU benchmark runs
  • full Switchyard smoke test against mock OpenAI-compatible completion targets

Notes

This keeps GLiNER and PyTorch out of Switchyard's core dependency graph. Confidence fallback is configurable but disabled in the example because a global threshold reduced accuracy on the measured suite and failed to catch confidently wrong predictions.

Related to #735.

Require HTTPS before sending TYPESAFE_API_KEY.

TYPESAFE_API_URL flows from the environment into urlopen, and the request sends TYPESAFE_API_KEY as a bearer token. The documented TypeSafe Jev usage is a remote API and does not define a trusted local HTTP exception. If the URL uses HTTP, a network observer can read the credential.

Stop the latency timer after reading the response body. The report defines latency as end-to-end request latency. urlopen() returns before json.load(response) transfers and parses the response body, so both benchmarks currently underreport latency. Move the elapsed-time calculation after json.load(response) in both paths.

Keep the TypeSafe timer inside the retry loop. The report measures single-request latency, so retry backoff is not part of the successful attempt's latency sample.

Bound request reads and worker concurrency before allowing non-loopback binds.

The default host is loopback, but --host permits non-loopback binding without requiring a reverse proxy. ThreadingHTTPServer creates an unbounded worker thread per connection, and self.rfile.read(length) has no socket timeout. An incomplete body can therefore retain a worker indefinitely. Set a per-connection read timeout and enforce bounded concurrency. Keep the listener on loopback when remote access is not required.

Reject non-object JSON as a bad request.

json.loads() can return a list, string, number, or null. Line 199 then calls .get, which reaches the generic exception handler and returns HTTP 500 instead of HTTP 400. Validate that the decoded value is a dictionary before accessing request fields.

Replace the synchronous HTTP implementation and its test. The production server and contract test violate the repository's async-only rule.

  • examples/gliner-router/server.py#L245-L249: replace ThreadingHTTPServer and blocking serve_forever() with an asynchronous server started through asyncio.run().
  • examples/gliner-router/test_server.py#L44-L45: start the asynchronous test server without a worker thread.
  • examples/gliner-router/test_server.py#L67-L73: replace blocking urlopen() with an asynchronous HTTP client.

As per coding guidelines, “Async: async-only. If you need sync, use asyncio.run().”

In `@examples/gliner-router/server.py` around lines 245 - 249, Replace the
synchronous ThreadingHTTPServer and blocking serve_forever flow in server.py
with an asynchronous server launched through asyncio.run(). In test_server.py
lines 44-45, start the async server without a worker thread; in lines 67-73,
replace blocking urlopen usage with an asynchronous HTTP client while preserving
the existing contract assertions.

Add return annotations to the test methods.

Add -> None to setUp and each test method. Strict mypy rejects untyped function definitions.

As per coding guidelines, “Type hints: throughout. py.typed marker present; mypy runs strict.”

Also applies to: 30-30, 37-37, 42-42

In `@examples/gliner-router/test_server.py` at line 23, Add -> None return
annotations to setUp and every test method in the test class, including the
methods at the referenced locations, so all test helpers have explicit return
types and satisfy strict mypy.
