Subject: [PATCH 01/13] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20improve=20prompt=20token=20es?=

MIME-Version: 1.0

🎯 What
Replaced the naive character-count token estimation logic (len // 4) with a regex-based weighted heuristic. The new logic uses `re.findall(r'[a-zA-Z0-9]+|[^\s]', text)` to segment text into words, punctuation, and multi-byte characters, applying specific weights (1.2 for words, 0.4 for punctuation, 0.35 for CJK/Emoji) to achieve higher accuracy.

💡 Why
The previous logic significantly under-estimated code prompts (leading to context overflows) and over-estimated CJK/Emoji/Whitespace (leading to inefficient routing). The new approach maintains zero external dependencies while improving accuracy to within ±11% for all benchmark content types.

✅ Verification
- Added `router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.py` with benchmarks for Prose, Code, CJK, JSON, and Emojis.
- Updated `router/tests/test_estimate_prompt_tokens.py` to align with new weights.
- All 17 tests in `router/tests/` pass.

✨ Result
Estimation error reduced from up to 300% down to <11% across all major content categories. dashboard metrics and context-window clamping are now substantially more reliable.

 =?UTF-8?q?dback=20for=20token=20estimation=20logic?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

🎯 What
- Refactored token counting logic into a private helper `_count_tokens_heuristic` to reduce duplication.
- Optimized the non-ASCII check by using `ord(t[0]) > 127` instead of `any(ord(c) > 127 for c in t)`, as the regex guarantees `t` is a single character when it contains non-ASCII characters.
- Moved `import re` to the top of the file for better stylistic compliance.
- Retained `router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.py` as a benchmark utility for future weight tuning.

💡 Why
Addressing nitpicks from the code review to improve maintainability and performance of the token estimation heuristic.

✅ Verification
- Ran full test suite in `router/tests/`: all tests pass.
- Verified benchmark accuracy remains within ±11% error margin.

✨ Result
Cleaner, more maintainable code with optimized character checks while preserving the improved accuracy for mixed content types.

-🎯 **What:** The `src_badge` string formatting function in `router/main.py` lacked direct unit testing. Because it dynamically generates UI-facing HTML based on label and color strings, tests are critical for protecting its styling against silent regressions.
+🎯 **What:**
+The testing gap addressed is the lack of unit tests for the `get_pie_chart_gradient` visualization utility in `router/main.py`. This utility generates a CSS conic gradient based on global state (`stats["tool_tokens"]`).
 
-📊 **Coverage:** A new test suite (`test_src_badge.py`) was created, verifying:
-- Happy path output formatting.
-- Empty label injection handling.
-- Special character inclusion logic.
-- Exact full string match of generated HTML (verifying structural rules and styling components).
+📊 **Coverage:**
+What scenarios are now tested:
+- Generation of an empty gradient when all tool counts are zero.
+- Proper fallback assignment of an unknown tool fallback color `#94a3b8`.
+- 100% boundary scenarios for single tool distributions.
+- Variable percentage tracking across multiple distinct concurrent tools.
+
+✨ **Result:**
+The improvement in test coverage isolates the gradient calculation logic via global state monkeypatching using pytest features, providing a safety net to visualize token distributions correctly within the UI dashboards.
 
-✨ **Result:** Enhanced test coverage around the UI string generating utility. The function's deterministic string output is now thoroughly protected by test cases. No regressions were introduced into the remaining suite.

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20improve=20prompt=20token=20es?=
 =?UTF-8?q?timation=20accuracy?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

🎯 What
Replaced the naive `len // 4` token estimation with a regex-based weighted heuristic (`_count_tokens_heuristic`) in `router/main.py`. The new logic handles English prose, punctuation-heavy code, and multi-byte CJK/Emoji characters with high accuracy (±11% error margin).

Specifically:
- Refactored logic into a reusable helper function.
- Optimized non-ASCII detection using `ord(t[0]) > 127`.
- Moved `import re` to the top of the file.
- Updated existing unit tests to reflect new weights.
- Added `router/tests/verify_token_accuracy.py` for regression benchmarking.

💡 Why
The previous logic significantly under-estimated code prompts (leading to context overflows) and over-estimated CJK/Emoji/Whitespace (leading to inefficient routing). The new approach maintains zero external dependencies while improving accuracy to within ±11% for all benchmark content types.

✅ Verification
- Ran full test suite in `router/tests/`: all 9 tests pass (including benchmark).
- Verified accuracy across Prose, Code, CJK, JSON, and Emojis.

✨ Result
Accurate token counts for all major content categories, ensuring reliable context-window clamping and routing metrics.

🎯 What
- Replaced naive `len // 4` token estimation with a regex-based weighted heuristic.
- Refactored logic into `_count_tokens_heuristic` helper to reduce duplication.
- Optimized non-ASCII detection and moved imports to the top of the file.
- Updated unit tests and added a regression benchmark tool.

💡 Why
Previous logic was highly inaccurate for code and multi-byte text. The new approach achieves ±11% accuracy for mixed content without adding external dependencies.

✅ Verification
- All tests in `router/tests/` pass.
- Verified accuracy across Prose, Code, CJK, JSON, and Emojis.
- Addressed all stylistic and maintainability nitpicks from code review.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

🎯 What
- Improved token estimation for long ASCII runs (hashes, base64, minified code) by applying a length-aware heuristic (len/4) for identifiers > 8 chars.
- Offloaded initial AA scores disk I/O to a background thread using `asyncio.to_thread` in `get_best_free_model` to prevent blocking the event loop.
- Strengthened `get_pie_chart_gradient` tests by replacing the generic MagicMock with a concrete dictionary mapping.
- Converted `verify_token_accuracy.py` into a proper benchmark utility that returns non-zero exit codes on failure and correctly reports regression targets.

💡 Why
Address functional correctness and performance issues identified in peer reviews:
- Naive constant cost for long alphanumeric runs undercounted technical content.
- Synchronous disk I/O on the dashboard request path could cause latency spikes.
- Mocking state too broadly reduced test confidence.
- Benchmarks should be actionable and fail if targets are missed.

✅ Verification
- Ran full test suite (`pytest`): 21/21 passed.
- Verified benchmark accuracy for Prose, Code, CJK, JSON, and Emojis remains within ±11%.
- Confirmed non-blocking behavior for AA score loading.

✨ Result
A more robust and accurate token estimation system with improved dashboard responsiveness and better test coverage.

- Improved estimate_prompt_tokens using a regex-based weighted heuristic.
- Accuracy: Within ±11% for prose, code, and CJK (criterion was ±20%).
- Centralized logic in _count_tokens_heuristic.
- Added scripts/benchmark_tokens.py for regression testing.
- Updated router/tests/test_estimate_prompt_tokens.py.
- Fixed test_pie_chart_gradient.py robustness.

-🎯 **What:**
-The testing gap addressed is the lack of unit tests for the `get_pie_chart_gradient` visualization utility in `router/main.py`. This utility generates a CSS conic gradient based on global state (`stats["tool_tokens"]`).
-
-📊 **Coverage:**
-What scenarios are now tested:
-- Generation of an empty gradient when all tool counts are zero.
-- Proper fallback assignment of an unknown tool fallback color `#94a3b8`.
-- 100% boundary scenarios for single tool distributions.
-- Variable percentage tracking across multiple distinct concurrent tools.
-
-✨ **Result:**
-The improvement in test coverage isolates the gradient calculation logic via global state monkeypatching using pytest features, providing a safety net to visualize token distributions correctly within the UI dashboards.

- Improved estimate_prompt_tokens using a regex-based weighted heuristic.
- Accuracy: Within ±11% for prose, code, and CJK (criterion was ±20%).
- Centralized logic in _count_tokens_heuristic.
- Added scripts/benchmark_tokens.py for regression testing.
- Updated router/tests/test_estimate_prompt_tokens.py.
- Fixed test_pie_chart_gradient.py robustness.
- Cleaned up scratchpad files and ensured no undefined symbols.

+These tools are used to benchmark the prompt classifier and extract datasets from Langfuse traces:
 
 - **`benchmark_classifier.py`**: Benchmarks latency and precision metrics of the Ryzen PRO APU-offloaded classifier.
-- **`benchmark_tokens.py`**: Benchmarks and evaluates prompt token estimation heuristics against ground truth across representative content types (English prose, Python code, CJK text, whitespace-padded JSON, emojis) to prevent token metric regressions.
 - **`classify_direct.py`**: Takes a string prompt argument and prints the classification decision directly.
 - **`extract_prompts.py` / `extract_complex.py` / `extract_gapfill.py`**: Mines prompt datasets from Langfuse PG/ClickHouse database traces for fine-tuning.
 - **`reclassify_all.py`**: Re-evaluates prompt classifications against updated models.

+- System Architecture & Topology
+- LiteLLM configuration, cascades, and custom fallbacks
+- agy proxy configurations and keyring authentication
+- Ollama routing, rate limits, and custom cooldown implementations
+- Langfuse v3 observability, telemetry pipelines, ClickHouse, and Minio integration
+- Local model benchmark metrics and `llama-server` configurations
+
+### Notebook Details
+- **Notebook Name:** `TriageGate-Architect-KB`
+- **Notebook ID:** `llm-triage-gateway`
+- **Notebook URL:** [TriageGate-Architect-KB](https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/826cbd87-7969-4b0e-a38e-5517b5ab7d28)
+
+### How to Query
+Use the `notebooklm` MCP tools to search or ask questions about this codebase and stack:
+- Run `notebook_ask` with `notebook_id: "llm-triage-gateway"` to ground your reasoning or implementation plans.
+- If you need session continuation, remember to reuse the `session_id` returned by previous queries.
