 # Legion LLM Changelog
 
+## [0.16.9] - 2026-08-20
+
+### Changed
+- **lex-llm 0.8.0 contract conformance.** Gemspec floor raised to `lex-llm >= 0.8.0`; the repo conforms to the 0.8.0 contract cut (Canonical-only internal language, fleet protocol v3, documented embed/image artifacts).
+- **Canonical messages end-to-end.** Client translators no longer de-canonicalize (`inference_messages` bridges deleted); `Inference::Request` canonicalizes inbound messages at the pipeline entry (plain strings, wire hashes, and Canonical objects are accepted; anything else raises). Executor `context_window`, `native_tool_loop`, `step_context_store`, and `prompt_cache` consume strict `Canonical::Message` accessors.
+- **Fleet requestor is protocol v3.** Dispatcher emits `protocol_version: 3` (explicit, no default fill), requires `execution_contract: exact_offering_v1` + a nonempty `offering_id` (no default provider/instance fill), signs both exact claims unconditionally (S3), and rejects legacy field names at the edge. The reply path rehydrates the serialized `Canonical::Response` under `response:` (E3) — the v2 `content`/`finish_reason` projection is gone.
+- **Client-edge dialect aliasing (O03a).** The three client translators translate client-wire spellings at the edge: params (`max_output_tokens`/`num_predict`/`max_completion_tokens` → `max_tokens`, `budget_tokens`/`thinking_budget` → `max_thinking_tokens`, `stop` → `stop_sequences`), content-type aliases (`input_text`/`output_text` → `text`, `image_url` → canonical `image` block), and JSON-string tool arguments → Hash. Canonical types accept canonical keys/types only.
+- **`/api/llm/providers` surfaces SSOT-activated instances.** The listing unions the Inventory Registry snapshot (deduped by provider+instance) with the compatibility call registry.
+- **`RULES.md` installed** (architecture law, byte-for-byte from the SSOT v4 reference).
+- **SSOT v4: routing behavior extracted into stateless mixins under `Legion::LLM::Routing::`.**  `Filter` (lane-eligibility axes including the body-model-hint decision ladder, policy enforcement, capability/context/dimension checks), `Rank` (weight/affinity/rendezvous ranking with band partition), `Fleet` (fleet-contract evaluation), `Outcome` (provider-outcome classification — renamed from `OutcomeClassifier`), and immutable records `CandidateEvaluation`/`EvaluationSet` (`routing/evaluation.rb`, 10-axis per-lane readiness snapshot). Each mixin is independently unit-testable with no cross-mixin or Router class dependency.
+- **SSOT v4: Router is a per-request CLASS** (written in `router_new.rb`, wiring pending). One `Legion::LLM::Router.new(request:, operation:, body_model:)` per logical request; it holds the request's attempt state (exclusions, consumed targets, attempt budget, last rejection) — absorbing the former `Inference::RoutingSession` role. Request-derived facts (filters, pins, required capabilities, input bound, context budget, the body-model-hint decision) are computed once in `initialize` and are immutable for the request's lifetime. Inventory is fetched live at each lane decision from `Inventory::Registry` — no captured snapshot.
+- **Routing settings read directly from `Legion::Settings[:llm][:router]`.** Defaults centralized in `lib/legion/llm/settings/router.rb`. Per-provider/instance/model cascades (model policy allow/deny, `enable_<capability>` overrides, preferred-context ranges) are resolved live from `Legion::Settings[:extensions][:llm]` via the shared `SettingsCascade`. The per-request `SettingsState`/`SettingsSnapshot` objects are eliminated from the routing path.
+
+### Removed
+- **Legacy rip (0.8.0 cut).** The `Responses::StreamChunk` detection in `StreamAssembler` (type deleted upstream) and its tool-call accumulator; dead `Types::Message#to_provider_hash`; the legacy `Fleet::Handler` responder path (replaced by the lex-llm `ProviderResponder` registry topology); provider-native `Embedding` value-object handling in the embed consumer (replaced by the documented 0.8.0 embed artifact `{ text:, model:, embedding:, usage: }`).
+- **Legacy `lib/legion/llm/router/` support folder retired.** 11 files deleted (`candidate_evaluator`, `ranker`, `rejection_diagnostics`, `required_capabilities`, `input_bound`, `request_requirements`, `body_model_hint_policy`, `resolution`, `settings_state`, `settings_snapshot`, `header_constraints`) and 2 renamed into the new namespace (`candidate_evaluation` → `routing/evaluation.rb`, `outcome_classifier` → `routing/outcome.rb`) — their logic reproduced across the `routing/` mixins and the Router class. (`escalation/history.rb` remains until the `llm.rb` require graph is rewired.) The 18 old specs under `spec/legion/llm/router/` were removed: 16 reproduced or subsumed by the new `spec/legion/llm/routing/` suites + `router_new_spec.rb`, and the two behavioral regressions (fail-forward release bar, instance-recovery) re-encoded against the Router class as `spec/legion/llm/router/{fail_forward_release_bar,instance_recovery_regression}_spec.rb`.
+
+### Notes
+- **Migration is mid-flight.** The routing mixins (`routing/*.rb`) are landed and spec-covered; the old support folder is deleted. The Router class replacement (`router_new.rb`) is written but not yet wired into the require graph (module→class swap and consumer rewiring are pending). The existing `router.rb` stateless module remains the active entry point until the swap lands.

+RULES.md — Legion LLM Architecture Law
+These rules apply to every task, file, repository, agent, model, session, test, refactor, migration, incident, and release.
+The requested task defines what may change. These rules define how the system ALWAYS works.
+Every rule remains active 100% of the time. If requested work conflicts with these rules, stop and surface the conflict before changing code.
+These are architecture laws. Scope, compatibility, urgency, convenience, tests, existing behavior, and model judgment do not change them.
+1. Canonical is the only internal language.
+Every client translates client wire -> Canonical before shared execution.
+Shared execution carries Canonical through context, tools, routing, direct dispatch, fleet dispatch, and response handling.
+Every provider translates Canonical -> provider wire at the provider boundary, then provider wire -> Canonical before returning to shared execution.
+Every internal boundary validates the Canonical type it is defined to receive and raises immediately when that contract is violated.
+Client Wire -> Client Translator -> Canonical -> Shared Execution -> Canonical -> Provider Translator -> Provider Wire.
+2. Serialization preserves Canonical.
+Transport may serialize Canonical state. The receiving transport boundary ALWAYS rehydrates the exact Canonical type before execution continues.
+Fleet follows Canonical -> serialize -> wire -> deserialize -> rehydrate Canonical -> Canonical.
+Serialization changes encoding only. Ownership, identity, model, operation, capability, selection, and meaning remain exactly the same.
+After rehydration, shared execution continues only with Canonical objects.
+3. Every authoritative fact has exactly one owner.
+The owner creates the fact once. Every downstream layer carries, projects, serializes, rehydrates, verifies, or executes that exact fact.
+A downstream layer receiving missing or contradictory authoritative state raises and returns the defect to the owning layer.
+Authority ALWAYS moves forward by preservation.
+Authority is created once and is never recreated downstream.
+4. Requirements describe the request. Inventory describes reality. Router chooses. Dispatch executes.
+Canonical request construction owns request semantics. RequestRequirements expresses operation, capabilities, modality, context, output, tools, and explicit pins.
+Providers publish exact executable facts into Inventory. Inventory owns canonical instance, offering, lane, capability, context, quota, health, and published weight state.
+Router.next_lane consumes Requirements plus one immutable Inventory snapshot and produces one authoritative Selection.
+Dispatch executes that Selection exactly. Once Selection exists, routing is finished.
+5. Inventory facts are immutable executable facts.
+Providers publish exact instances and complete offering snapshots through the Inventory publication contract.
+Identity, capability evidence, context evidence, quota domains, availability, and write-time weights are consumed from published Inventory state.
+A changed fact becomes authoritative only through the owning publication or reconciliation path and a new Inventory snapshot.
+Routing reads Inventory. Dispatch verifies and executes Inventory-backed Selection.
+6. Identity, capabilities, weights, and context policy retain exact ownership.
+Inventory::Identity owns instance, offering, and lane identity; canonical instance identity is provider family plus the operator/configured instance name; physical endpoint data remains secondary.
+Providers publish capability evidence. Requirements state required capabilities. Candidate evaluation compares the two and determines capability eligibility.
+The weight owner computes lane weight at publication time; Inventory stores it; ranking consumes that stored weight; a stored zero disables the lane.
+Preferred-context binning orders eligible candidates into preference bands and preserves eligibility. Capability, health, binning, and weight ALWAYS retain distinct meanings.
+7. Routing chooses exactly once.
+Router.next_lane is the sole routing authority.
+Candidate evaluation determines eligibility from Requirements and Inventory. Ranking orders eligible candidates from published routing facts.
+Selection freezes the exact provider, instance, offering, lane, model, operation, and routing identity required for execution.
+Every downstream component consumes the Selection it receives.
+Selection is preserved, not reconstructed.
+8. Exact execution stays exact through every boundary.
+Direct dispatch executes the exact Selection-derived binding it receives.
+Fleet dispatch serializes and signs that exact binding; fleet validation verifies it; fleet rehydration restores it; worker resolution verifies it against authoritative Inventory.
+The selected provider, instance, offering, lane, model, and operation remain identical through projection, signing, transport, validation, rehydration, resolution, and callable invocation.
+A mismatch raises before provider execution.
+An exact execution request ALWAYS remains exact execution.
+9. Health and errors preserve one authoritative meaning.
+Inventory owns exact-instance availability. An authoritative instance-unavailable result removes that exact instance; readiness probing owns recovery; successful readiness republish re-admits it.
+Overload, timeout, rate limit, model-not-ready, and transient provider failures remain request-local according to ProviderOutcome semantics.
+The first layer that can authoritatively classify an error performs that classification once. Every downstream layer preserves it.
+Programming errors remain programming errors. Contract violations remain contract violations. Routing exhaustion remains the defined typed Rejection.
+10. Compatibility exists only at explicit edges.
+Supported legacy clients and protocols are translated into the current Canonical and SSOT architecture at explicit compatibility boundaries.
+Shared execution remains Canonical. Routing remains SSOT-driven. Exact execution remains exact.
+Compatibility code adapts an external contract to the current internal architecture.
+The current internal architecture ALWAYS has one representation, one routing authority, one identity system, and one execution truth.
+11. Fix every defect at its owner.
+Trace the incorrect value to the layer that owns it, then fix that owner.
+Fix client wire in the client translator; Canonical shape in Canonical construction; Requirements in Requirements construction; provider facts in publication; identity in Inventory identity; weights in publication/reconciliation.
+Fix eligibility in candidate evaluation; ordering in ranking; choice in Router.next_lane; execution preservation in dispatch; provider wire in the provider translator.
+The layer where a defect becomes visible is evidence. The owning layer is where the correction belongs.
+12. A discovered issue remains in its owning domain.
+Complete the requested task inside its stated scope.
+When investigation exposes a separate defect owned by another architectural domain, record and surface it as separate work unless the requested task is explicitly expanded.
+Routing work consumes existing Canonical Requirements and Inventory facts. Canonical work changes Canonical contracts. Provider work changes publication or translation. Transport work changes transport.
+Nearby code never changes ownership. “While we are here” never changes architecture.
+13. N x N ALWAYS converges through Canonical.
+Equivalent client semantics produce equivalent Canonical state before shared execution. Every provider consumes the same Canonical semantics for the same request.
+When two paths disagree, capture the state at every involved boundary and locate the FIRST point where Canonical meaning diverges.
+Fix that first divergent boundary, then run the exact failing path again.
+Client behavior is proven at client-wire <-> Canonical. Provider behavior is proven at Canonical <-> provider-wire. Shared execution is proven with Canonical throughout.
+14. Debug from captured authoritative state.
+Capture the actual input at the failing boundary before reasoning from symptoms.
+For translation or transport defects, capture Canonical immediately before and after every involved boundary.
+For routing or dispatch defects, capture Requirements, relevant Inventory facts, Selection, execution binding, and ProviderOutcome.
+Compare each captured value to the contract owned by that layer. Find the first divergence. Fix its owner. Re-run the exact path.
+Then inspect sibling implementations for the same defect class.
+15. Tests prove the real boundary and the invariant.
+A boundary test exercises the real boundary it claims to protect.
+Fleet tests exercise real serialization, deserialization, Canonical rehydration, signing, validation, exact resolution, and callable dispatch.
+Provider tests exercise the real callable boundary and provider translator. Routing tests exercise real Requirements, Inventory records, candidate evaluation, ranking, and Selection.
+Regression tests prove the violated invariant, not only the observed symptom.
+A green suite is release evidence only when the tested path traverses the real architecture.
+16. Shared contracts are consumed directly.
+Shared Canonical types own execution representation. Shared Inventory types own inventory state. Shared Routing types own routing state.
+Shared taxonomy owns canonical mappings. Shared ProviderOutcome owns provider-neutral outcomes. Shared fleet protocol owns exact execution claims.
+Every repository consumes these shared owners directly.
+A defect in one shared boundary triggers an audit of every sibling implementation of that boundary. Fix the shared owner centrally whenever the defect belongs to a shared contract.
+17. Architecture is the release gate.
+Every change preserves every rule in this file.
+Tests, compatibility, historical behavior, migration phase, patch urgency, nearby code, task wording, and model judgment are evaluated UNDER these rules.
+A contradiction between existing behavior and these rules is surfaced as an architecture conflict and resolved at the owning boundary before release.
+Limited scope means do less. Limited scope NEVER means fewer rules apply.
+These rules apply 100% of the time.
+These are the law.
