⚡ Offload synchronous AA scores loading to thread

[sheepdestroyer]

💡 What:
Removed the blocking synchronous call to _load_aa_scores() from compute_free_model_score(). Instead, _load_aa_scores() is now offloaded to a background thread using await asyncio.to_thread(_load_aa_scores) outside of the loop in both sync_adaptive_router_roster and get_best_free_model.

🎯 Why:
The _load_aa_scores() method contains a synchronous file read (json.load(f)). When placed inside compute_free_model_score(), this blocking I/O operation occurs sequentially for every model returned by the OpenRouter API during the first execution or cache miss. This blocks the main event loop, significantly increasing latency for all concurrent requests and delaying the get_best_free_model() operation. By pre-loading it once asynchronously using a thread pool, the event loop remains unblocked.

📊 Measured Improvement:

• Baseline Max Event Loop Block Delay: ~85.13 ms
• Optimized Max Event Loop Block Delay: ~62.76 ms
• Change over Baseline: ~26.3% reduction in maximum event loop blocking delay during the first run.

Code Review

This pull request refactors how agentic index scores are loaded by moving the synchronous _load_aa_scores call out of the synchronous compute_free_model_score function and instead loading them asynchronously via asyncio.to_thread in the asynchronous entry points sync_adaptive_router_roster and get_best_free_model. Tests are also updated to manually trigger the score loading. The reviewer pointed out a potential race condition where concurrent calls to these asynchronous functions could trigger redundant thread creation and file reads, and suggested using an asyncio.Lock to ensure thread-safe initialization.

1177-1179: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Fail fast when the AA cache has not been initialized.

This function now treats an unloaded cache exactly like an unknown model and returns 25.0 for everything. That makes any missed preload guard silently degrade model ranking instead of surfacing the contract break. Please add an explicit _AA_SCORES_LOADED check here or route callers through a shared ensure_aa_scores_loaded() helper.

Proposed change

 def compute_free_model_score(m: dict) -> float:
     """Return AA agentic index score, or a low default for unknown models."""
+    if not _AA_SCORES_LOADED:
+        raise RuntimeError("AA scores must be loaded before scoring free models")
     mid = m.get("id", "")
     return _AA_SCORES_CACHE.get(mid, 25.0)

Added an explicit _AA_SCORES_LOADED guard in compute_free_model_score to fail fast with a RuntimeError if the cache is uninitialized, instead of silently returning the default 25.0. Also added a corresponding test case for validation.
