openshell-router
openshell-router is the inference routing and upstream execution engine used
by the sandbox proxy and gateway inference validation paths.
Responsibilities
- Select an upstream route from a candidate set (based on protocol compatibility).
- Forward raw HTTP requests to the selected upstream backend.
- Normalize upstream failures into router-level errors (
unauthorized,unavailable, protocol/internal errors). - Keep routing decision logic in one place so strategies can evolve (fallbacks, scoring, health-based routing).
Non-responsibilities
- Authentication and sandbox identity.
- Authorization and policy enforcement.
- Persistence of routes/entities.
- Loading sandbox or policy objects.
These are owned by openshell-server and openshell-sandbox.
Integration Contract
Current split:
openshell-server:- authenticates user-facing inference configuration changes
- resolves managed route candidates from provider records
- validates backend endpoints
openshell-sandbox:- intercepts
https://inference.local - detects the source inference protocol
- passes sanitized requests and resolved route candidates to the router
- intercepts
openshell-router:- picks a route from candidates (
proxy_with_candidates) - forwards the HTTP request upstream and returns the raw response
- picks a route from candidates (
Public APIs
Router::proxy_with_candidates(source_protocol, method, path, headers, body, &[ResolvedRoute])- Filters candidates by protocol compatibility, then forwards the request to the first match.
- Preferred path for entity-driven server routing.
Notes
- Route selection matches candidates by
protocolfield (e.g.openai_chat_completions). - Route selection is intentionally simple and will evolve.
