-## 为什么用 openrouterX
+---
 
-- 统一本地接口：`http://localhost:20502/v1`
-- 统一管理后台：`http://localhost:20502/dashboard`
-- 同时接入订阅型供应商、API Key 供应商、免费供应商
-- 支持组合模型与自动 fallback
-- 内置 `RTK`，适合 `git diff`、`grep`、日志等重工具调用场景
-- 支持管理员创建子用户，并精细限制子用户可用供应商与 API Key
+## 🤔 Why 9Router?
 
-## 安装
+**Stop wasting money, tokens and hitting limits:**
 
-从 npm 全局安装：
+- ❌ Subscription quota expires unused every month
+- ❌ Rate limits stop you mid-coding
+- ❌ Tool outputs (git diff, grep, ls...) burn tokens fast
+- ❌ Expensive APIs ($20-50/month per provider)
+- ❌ Manual switching between providers
+
+**9Router solves this:**
+
+- ✅ **RTK Token Saver** - Auto-compress tool_result content, save 20-40% tokens per request
+- ✅ **Maximize subscriptions** - Track quota, use every bit before reset
+- ✅ **Auto fallback** - Subscription → Cheap → Free, zero downtime
+- ✅ **Multi-account** - Round-robin between accounts per provider
+- ✅ **Universal** - Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, any CLI tool

+## 🔄 How It Works
+
+```
+┌─────────────┐
+│  Your CLI   │  (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Cline...)
+│   Tool      │
+└──────┬──────┘
+       │ http://localhost:20128/v1
+       ↓
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│           9Router (Smart Router)            │
+│  • RTK Token Saver (cut tool_result tokens) │
+│  • Format translation (OpenAI ↔ Claude)     │
+│  • Quota tracking                           │
+│  • Auto token refresh                       │
+└──────┬──────────────────────────────────────┘
+       │
+       ├─→ [Tier 1: SUBSCRIPTION] Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot
+       │   ↓ quota exhausted
+       ├─→ [Tier 2: CHEAP] GLM ($0.6/1M), MiniMax ($0.2/1M)
+       │   ↓ budget limit
+       └─→ [Tier 3: FREE] Kiro, OpenCode Free, Vertex ($300 credits)
+
+Result: Never stop coding, minimal cost + 20-40% token savings via RTK
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Quick Start
+
+**1. Install globally:**
 
 ```bash
-npm install -g @yina-npm/openrouterx
-openrouterX
+npm install -g 9router
+9router
 ```
 
-开发者在验证本地改动时，必须区分“源码启动”和“npm 包安装测试”。发布、CLI、MITM、安装布局相关改动请先阅读 [Local npm Package Testing](docs/LOCAL_NPM_TESTING.md)。
+🎉 Dashboard opens at `http://localhost:20128`
+
+**2. Connect a FREE provider (no signup needed):**
 
-启动后默认地址：
+Dashboard → Providers → Connect **Kiro AI** (free Claude unlimited) or **OpenCode Free** (no auth) → Done!
 
-- Dashboard：`http://localhost:20502/dashboard`
-- OpenAI-compatible API：`http://localhost:20502/v1`
+**3. Use in your CLI tool:**
 
-## 快速开始
+```
+Claude Code/Codex/OpenClaw/Cursor/Cline Settings:
+  Endpoint: http://localhost:20128/v1
+  API Key: [copy from dashboard]
+  Model: kr/claude-sonnet-4.5
+```
+
+**That's it!** Start coding with FREE AI models.
 
-### 1. 启动本地服务
+**Alternative: run from source (this repository):**
+
+This repository package is private (`9router-app`), so source/Docker execution is the expected local development path.
 
 ```bash
-openrouterX
+cp .env.example .env
+npm install
+PORT=20128 NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128 npm run dev
 ```
 
-登录页默认在：
+Production mode:
 
-```txt
-http://localhost:20502/login
+```bash
+npm run build
+PORT=20128 HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128 npm run start
 ```
 
-### 2. 登录
+Default URLs:
+- Dashboard: `http://localhost:20128/dashboard`
+- OpenAI-compatible API: `http://localhost:20128/v1`

+
+### 🚀 RTK Token Saver
+
+Tool outputs (`git diff`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`, `tree`, log dumps...) often eat 30-50% of your prompt budget. RTK detects them and applies smart, lossless compression **before** the request hits the LLM:
+
+- **Filters:** `git-diff`, `git-status`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`, `tree`, `dedup-log`, `smart-truncate`, `read-numbered`, `search-list`
+- **Auto-detect:** No config needed — RTK peeks the first 1KB of each `tool_result` and picks the right filter.
+- **Safe by design:** If a filter fails, throws, or makes output bigger, RTK silently keeps the original text. Errors never break your request.
+- **Universal:** Works across all formats (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Kiro, OpenAI Responses) because it runs **before** any format translation.
+- **Default ON:** Toggle anytime in Dashboard → Endpoint settings.
 
-- `Super Admin`：完整管理权限
-- `Sub User`：受限使用权限，适合团队成员或子账号
+```
+Without RTK: 47K tokens sent to LLM
+With RTK:    28K tokens sent to LLM   (40% saved · same context · same answer)
+```
 
-### 3. 连接供应商
+### 🎯 Smart 3-Tier Fallback
 
-进入 Dashboard 后可以接入：
+Create combos with automatic fallback:
 
-- 订阅型供应商：Claude Code、Codex、Copilot、Cursor
-- API Key 供应商：OpenAI、Anthropic、OpenRouter、GLM、Gemini、DeepSeek、Groq、Mistral、MiniMax、Kimi 等
-- 免费或低成本供应商：Kiro、OpenCode Free、Vertex AI
+```
+Combo: "my-coding-stack"
+  1. cc/claude-opus-4-6        (your subscription)
+  2. glm/glm-4.7               (cheap backup, $0.6/1M)
+  3. if/kimi-k2-thinking       (free fallback)
 
-### 4. 创建或复制 API Key
+→ Auto switches when quota runs out or errors occur
+```
 
-在 Dashboard 中创建 API Key，然后把它配置到你的编码工具里。
+### 📊 Real-Time Quota Tracking
 
-### 5. 把工具接到 openrouterX

+### 🔄 Format Translation
+
+Seamless translation between formats:
+- **OpenAI** ↔ **Claude** ↔ **Gemini** ↔ **Cursor** ↔ **Kiro** ↔ **Vertex** ↔ **Antigravity** ↔ **Ollama** ↔ **OpenAI Responses**
+- Your CLI tool sends OpenAI format → 9Router translates → Provider receives native format
+- Works with any tool that supports custom OpenAI endpoints
+
+### 👥 Multi-Account Support
+
+- Add multiple accounts per provider
+- Auto round-robin or priority-based routing
+- Fallback to next account when one hits quota
+
+### 🔄 Auto Token Refresh
+
+- OAuth tokens automatically refresh before expiration
+- No manual re-authentication needed
+- Seamless experience across all providers
+
+### 🎨 Custom Combos
+
+- Create unlimited model combinations
+- Mix subscription, cheap, and free tiers
+- Name your combos for easy access
+- Share combos across devices with Cloud Sync
+
+### 📝 Request Logging
+
+- Enable debug mode for full request/response logs
+- Track API calls, headers, and payloads
+- Troubleshoot integration issues
+- Export logs for analysis
+
+### 💾 Cloud Sync
+
+- Sync providers, combos, and settings across devices
+- Automatic background sync
+- Secure encrypted storage
+- Access your setup from anywhere
+
+#### Cloud Runtime Notes
+
+- Prefer server-side cloud variables in production:
+  - `BASE_URL` (internal callback URL used by sync scheduler)
+  - `CLOUD_URL` (cloud sync endpoint base)
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUD_URL` are still supported for compatibility/UI, but server runtime now prioritizes `BASE_URL`/`CLOUD_URL`.
+- Cloud sync requests now use timeout + fail-fast behavior to avoid UI hanging when cloud DNS/network is unavailable.
+
+### 📊 Usage Analytics
+
+- Track token usage per provider and model
+- Cost estimation and spending trends
+- Monthly reports and insights
+- Optimize your AI spending
+
+> **💡 IMPORTANT - Understanding Dashboard Costs:**
+> 
+> The "cost" displayed in Usage Analytics is **for tracking and comparison purposes only**. 
+> 9Router itself **never charges** you anything. You only pay providers directly (if using paid services).
+> 
+> **Example:** If your dashboard shows "$290 total cost" while using iFlow models, this represents 
+> what you would have paid using paid APIs directly. Your actual cost = **$0** (iFlow is free unlimited).
+> 
+> Think of it as a "savings tracker" showing how much you're saving by using free models or 
+> routing through 9Router!

+
+### 📊 Understanding 9Router Costs & Billing
+
+**9Router Billing Reality:**
+
+✅ **9Router software = FREE forever** (open source, never charges)  
+✅ **Dashboard "costs" = Display/tracking only** (not actual bills)  
+✅ **You pay providers directly** (subscriptions or API fees)  
+✅ **FREE providers stay FREE** (iFlow, Kiro, Qwen = $0 unlimited)  
+❌ **9Router never sends invoices** or charges your card
+
+**How Cost Display Works:**
+
+The dashboard shows **estimated costs** as if you were using paid APIs directly. This is **not billing** - it's a comparison tool to show your savings.
+
+**Example Scenario:**
+```
+Dashboard Display:
+• Total Requests: 1,662
+• Total Tokens: 47M
+• Display Cost: $290
+
+Reality Check:
+• Provider: iFlow (FREE unlimited)
+• Actual Payment: $0.00
+• What $290 Means: Amount you SAVED by using free models!
 ```
 
-## 核心能力
+**Payment Rules:**
+- **Subscription providers** (Claude Code, Codex): Pay them directly via their websites
+- **Cheap providers** (GLM, MiniMax): Pay them directly, 9Router just routes
+- **FREE providers** (iFlow, Kiro, Qwen): Genuinely free forever, no hidden charges
+- **9Router**: Never charges anything, ever
+

+
+## 🎯 Use Cases
+
+### Case 1: "I have Claude Pro subscription"
 
-### 统一本地接口
+**Problem:** Quota expires unused, rate limits during heavy coding
 
-多个工具共享同一个本地入口：
+**Solution:**
+```
+Combo: "maximize-claude"
+  1. cc/claude-opus-4-7        (use subscription fully)
+  2. glm/glm-5.1               (cheap backup when quota out)
+  3. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5      (free emergency fallback)
 
-```txt
-http://localhost:20502/v1
+Monthly cost: $20 (subscription) + ~$5 (backup) = $25 total
+vs. $20 + hitting limits = frustration
 ```
 
-### Dashboard 驱动配置
+### Case 2: "I want zero cost"
+
+**Problem:** Can't afford subscriptions, need reliable AI coding
 
-Dashboard 可以完成：
+**Solution:**
+```
+Combo: "free-forever"
+  1. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5      (Claude 4.5 free unlimited)
+  2. kr/glm-5                  (GLM-5 free via Kiro)
+  3. oc/<auto>                 (OpenCode Free, no auth)
 
-- 连接供应商
-- 创建 API Key
-- 测试模型
-- 配置 combo
-- 查看 Usage 和请求明细
-- 生成各类 CLI Tools 的手动配置
+Monthly cost: $0
+Quality: Production-ready models + RTK saves 20-40% tokens
+```
 
-### RTK Token Saver
+### Case 3: "I need 24/7 coding, no interruptions"
 
-`RTK` 会在请求发送到上游模型前，对冗长的工具输出进行压缩，尤其适合：
+**Problem:** Deadlines, can't afford downtime
 
-- `git diff`
-- `grep`
-- `ls`
-- 构建日志
-- 长文本工具输出
+**Solution:**
+```
+Combo: "always-on"
+  1. cc/claude-opus-4-7        (best quality)
+  2. cx/gpt-5.5                (second subscription)
+  3. glm/glm-5.1               (cheap, resets daily)
+  4. minimax/MiniMax-M2.7      (cheapest, 5h reset)
+  5. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5      (free unlimited)
+
+Result: 5 layers of fallback = zero downtime
+Monthly cost: $20-200 (subscriptions) + $10-20 (backup)
+```
 
-### Combo 与自动 fallback
+### Case 4: "I want FREE AI in OpenClaw"
 
-你可以创建一个命名 combo，让多个模型串联：
+**Problem:** Need AI assistant in messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack...), completely free
 
-```txt
-premium-coding
-  1. cc/claude-opus
-  2. glm/glm-5
-  3. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5
+**Solution:**
 ```
+Combo: "openclaw-free"
+  1. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5      (Claude 4.5 free)
+  2. kr/glm-5                  (GLM-5 free)
+  3. kr/MiniMax-M2.5           (MiniMax free)
+
+Monthly cost: $0
+Access via: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage, Signal...
+```

+
+## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>📊 Why does my dashboard show high costs?</b></summary>
 
-主模型不可用时，可以自动切到后备模型。
+The dashboard tracks your token usage and displays **estimated costs** as if you were using paid APIs directly. This is **not actual billing** - it's a reference to show how much you're saving by using free models or existing subscriptions through 9Router.
 
-### 子用户权限隔离
+**Example:**
+- **Dashboard shows:** "$290 total cost"
+- **Reality:** You're using iFlow (FREE unlimited)
+- **Your actual cost:** **$0.00**
+- **What $290 means:** Amount you **saved** by using free models instead of paid APIs!
 
-管理员可以为子用户单独控制：
+The cost display is a "savings tracker" to help you understand your usage patterns and optimization opportunities.
 
-- 可使用哪些供应商
-- 可见哪些 API Key
-- Usage 是否只看自己的数据
-- 是否仅能查看 `CLI Tools` 手动配置，而不能修改本地工具设置
+</details>
 
-这适合团队共用部署、代运营账号、或敏感 API Key 隔离场景。
+<details>
+<summary><b>💳 Will I be charged by 9Router?</b></summary>
 
-### 团队共享网关
+**No.** 9Router is free, open-source software that runs on your own computer. It never charges you anything.
 
-`openrouterX` 不只是单人使用工具，也可以作为团队内部统一网关：
+**You only pay:**
+- ✅ **Subscription providers** (Claude Code $20/mo, Codex $20-200/mo) → Pay them directly on their websites
+- ✅ **Cheap providers** (GLM, MiniMax) → Pay them directly, 9Router just routes your requests
+- ❌ **9Router itself** → **Never charges anything, ever**
 
-- 管理员统一管理供应商、API Key、用户、combo
-- 子用户只看到分配给自己的 API Key 和允许使用的供应商
-- 子用户的 Usage 页面只展示自己的调用数据
-- 子用户可以在 `CLI Tools` 页面复制配置，但不会拿到完整管理权限
-- 上游供应商凭证不会暴露给普通成员
+9Router is a local proxy/router. It doesn't have your credit card, can't send invoices, and has no billing system. It's completely free software.
 
-### Usage 分析
+</details>
 
-Dashboard 支持查看：
+<details>
+<summary><b>🆓 Are FREE providers really unlimited?</b></summary>
 
-- 请求数
-- tokens
-- estimated cost
-- 按 API Key 的使用情况
-- 请求明细
+**Yes!** The current FREE providers (Kiro, OpenCode Free, Vertex) are genuinely free with **no hidden charges**.
 
-其中成本展示主要用于统计和对比，`openrouterX` 本身不会向你收费。
+These are free services offered by those respective companies:
+- **Kiro AI**: Free unlimited Claude 4.5 + GLM-5 + MiniMax via AWS Builder ID / Google / GitHub OAuth
+- **OpenCode Free**: No-auth passthrough proxy, models auto-fetched from `opencode.ai/zen/v1/models`
+- **Vertex AI**: $300 free credits for new Google Cloud accounts (90 days)
 
-## 支持的工具
+9Router just routes your requests to them - there's no "catch" or future billing. They're truly free services, and 9Router makes them easy to use with fallback support.
 
-`openrouterX` 面向各类 AI 编码工具和 OpenAI-compatible 客户端，包括：
+**Discontinued free tiers (no longer recommended):**
+- ❌ **iFlow**: Was free unlimited, now changed to paid (2026)
+- ❌ **Qwen Code**: Free OAuth tier discontinued by Alibaba on 2026-04-15
+- ❌ **Gemini CLI**: Still works, but using it with non-CLI tools (Claude, Codex, Cursor...) may result in account bans — only use if you stick to Gemini CLI itself
 
-- Claude Code
-- Codex CLI
-- Cursor
-- OpenCode
-- OpenClaw
-- Cline
-- Continue

-## 支持的供应商类型
+<details>
+<summary><b>💰 How do I minimize my actual AI costs?</b></summary>
 
-### 订阅型供应商
+**Free-First Strategy:**
 
-- Claude Code
-- Codex
-- GitHub Copilot
-- Cursor
+1. **Start with 100% free combo:**
+   ```
+   1. gc/gemini-3-flash (180K/month free from Google)
+   2. if/kimi-k2-thinking (unlimited free from iFlow)
+   3. qw/qwen3-coder-plus (unlimited free from Qwen)
+   ```
+   **Cost: $0/month**
 
-### API Key 供应商
+2. **Add cheap backup** only if you need it:
+   ```
+   4. glm/glm-4.7 ($0.6/1M tokens)
+   ```
+   **Additional cost: Only pay for what you actually use**
 
-- OpenAI
-- Anthropic
-- OpenRouter
-- GLM
-- Gemini
-- DeepSeek
-- Groq
-- Mistral
-- MiniMax
-- Kimi
-- 以及其他兼容供应商
+3. **Use subscription providers last:**
+   - Only if you already have them
+   - 9Router helps maximize their value through quota tracking
 
-### 免费或低成本供应商
+**Result:** Most users can operate at $0/month using only free tiers!
 
-- Kiro
-- OpenCode Free
-- Vertex AI
+</details>
 
-实际可用性取决于上游服务当前状态和你的本地配置。
+<details>
+<summary><b>📈 What if my usage suddenly spikes?</b></summary>
 
-## CLI Tools 配置
+9Router's smart fallback prevents surprise charges:
 
-Dashboard 内置了 `CLI Tools` 页面，可以直接生成可复制的配置。
+**Scenario:** You're on a coding sprint and blow through your quotas
 
-### 通用 OpenAI-compatible 配置
+**Without 9Router:**
+- ❌ Hit rate limit → Work stops → Frustration
+- ❌ Or: Accidentally rack up huge API bills
 
-```txt
-Base URL: http://localhost:20502/v1
-API Key:  你的 Dashboard API Key
-Model:    你选择的模型或 combo
+**With 9Router:**
+- ✅ Subscription hits limit → Auto-fallback to cheap tier
+- ✅ Cheap tier gets expensive → Auto-fallback to free tier
+- ✅ Never stop coding → Predictable costs
+
+**You're in control:** Set spending limits per provider in dashboard, and 9Router respects them.

-## API 示例
+  --name 9router \
+  -p 20128:20128 \
+  -v "$HOME/.9router:/app/data" \
+  -e DATA_DIR=/app/data \
+  decolua/9router:latest
+```
+
+→ Open http://localhost:20128
+
+**Build from source (dev):**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/decolua/9router.git
+cd 9router/app
+docker build -t 9router .
+docker run -d --name 9router -p 20128:20128 \
+  -v "$HOME/.9router:/app/data" -e DATA_DIR=/app/data 9router
+```
+
+**Container defaults:**
+- `PORT=20128`
+- `HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0`
+
+**Useful commands:**
+
+```bash
+docker logs -f 9router
+docker restart 9router
+docker stop 9router && docker rm 9router
+docker pull decolua/9router:latest   # update to latest
+```
+
+**Data persistence:** `$HOME/.9router/db/data.sqlite` on host ↔ `/app/data/db/data.sqlite` in container.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `JWT_SECRET` | Auto-generated (`~/.9router/jwt-secret`) | JWT signing secret for dashboard auth cookie (override to share across instances) |
+| `INITIAL_PASSWORD` | `123456` | First login password when no saved hash exists |
+| `DATA_DIR` | `~/.9router` | Main app data location (SQLite at `$DATA_DIR/db/data.sqlite`) |
+| `PORT` | framework default | Service port (`20128` in examples) |
+| `HOSTNAME` | framework default | Bind host (Docker defaults to `0.0.0.0`) |
+| `NODE_ENV` | runtime default | Set `production` for deploy |
+| `BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:20128` | Server-side internal base URL used by cloud sync jobs |
+| `CLOUD_URL` | `https://9router.com` | Server-side cloud sync endpoint base URL |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:3000` | Backward-compatible/public base URL (prefer `BASE_URL` for server runtime) |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUD_URL` | `https://9router.com` | Backward-compatible/public cloud URL (prefer `CLOUD_URL` for server runtime) |
+| `API_KEY_SECRET` | `endpoint-proxy-api-key-secret` | HMAC secret for generated API keys |
+| `MACHINE_ID_SALT` | `endpoint-proxy-salt` | Salt for stable machine ID hashing |
+| `ENABLE_REQUEST_LOGS` | `false` | Enables request/response logs under `logs/` |
+| `AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE` | `false` | Force `Secure` auth cookie (set `true` behind HTTPS reverse proxy) |
+| `REQUIRE_API_KEY` | `false` | Enforce Bearer API key on `/v1/*` routes (recommended for internet-exposed deploys) |
+| `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `ALL_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY` | empty | Optional outbound proxy for upstream provider calls |
+
+Notes:
+- Lowercase proxy variables are also supported: `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `all_proxy`, `no_proxy`.
+- `.env` is not baked into Docker image (`.dockerignore`); inject runtime config with `--env-file` or `-e`.
+- On Windows, `APPDATA` can be used for local storage path resolution.
+- `INSTANCE_NAME` appears in older docs/env templates, but is currently not used at runtime.
+
+### Runtime Files and Storage
+
+- Main app state: `${DATA_DIR}/db/data.sqlite` (SQLite — providers, combos, aliases, keys, settings, usage history)
+- Auto backups: `${DATA_DIR}/db/backups/`
+- Optional request/translator logs: `<repo>/logs/...` when `ENABLE_REQUEST_LOGS=true`
+- Both `${DATA_DIR}` and `~/.9router` resolve to the same location in a Docker container — the symlink `/root/.9router -> /app/data` is created at build time.

+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+**"Language model did not provide messages"**
+- Provider quota exhausted → Check dashboard quota tracker
+- Solution: Use combo fallback or switch to cheaper tier
+
+**Rate limiting**
+- Subscription quota out → Fallback to GLM/MiniMax
+- Add combo: `cc/claude-opus-4-7 → glm/glm-5.1 → kr/claude-sonnet-4.5`
+
+**OAuth token expired**
+- Auto-refreshed by 9Router
+- If issues persist: Dashboard → Provider → Reconnect
+
+**High costs**
+- Enable RTK in Dashboard → Endpoint settings (default ON, saves 20-40% tokens)
+- Check usage stats in Dashboard
+- Switch primary model to GLM/MiniMax
+- Use free tier (Kiro, OpenCode Free, Vertex) for non-critical tasks
+
+**Dashboard opens on wrong port**
+- Set `PORT=20128` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128`
+
+**First login not working**
+- Check `INITIAL_PASSWORD` in `.env`
+- If unset, fallback password is `123456`
+
+**No request logs under `logs/`**
+- Set `ENABLE_REQUEST_LOGS=true`
+

+
+## 🛠️ Tech Stack
+
+- **Runtime**: Node.js 20+
+- **Framework**: Next.js 16
+- **UI**: React 19 + Tailwind CSS 4
+- **Database**: SQLite (better-sqlite3 / node:sqlite / sql.js fallback)
+- **Streaming**: Server-Sent Events (SSE)
+- **Auth**: OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) + JWT + API Keys

-### Dashboard 打不开
 
-- 检查 `20502` 端口是否被占用
-- 启动前显式设置 `PORT=20502`
 
-### 登录失败
+## 🔀 Forks
 
-- 初始化环境时检查 `INITIAL_PASSWORD`
-- 如果已经有历史数据，请使用当前保存的管理员密码，不要假设存在默认密码
+**[OmniRoute](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute)** — A full-featured TypeScript fork of 9Router. Adds 36+ providers, 4-tier auto-fallback, multi-modal APIs (images, embeddings, audio, TTS), circuit breaker, semantic cache, LLM evaluations, and a polished dashboard. 368+ unit tests. Available via npm and Docker.
 
-### 工具看不到模型
+---
 
-- 确认供应商已连接
-- 确认当前 API Key 属于当前用户
-- 如果是子用户，检查 `Admin -> Users` 中配置的 allowed providers
+## 🙏 Acknowledgments
 
-### Usage 没有数据
+Built on the shoulders of giants:
 
-- 确认工具接入的是 `http://localhost:20502/v1`
-- 确认使用的是 Dashboard 中生成的 Bearer API Key
+- **CLIProxyAPI(https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI)** — original Go implementation that inspired this JavaScript port.
+- **[RTK](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk)** ![Stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/rtk-ai/rtk?style=flat&color=yellow) — Rust token-saver. 9Router ports its compression pipeline to JS → **−20-40% input tokens** on every request.
+- **[Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman)** ![Stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/JuliusBrussee/caveman?style=flat&color=yellow) by **[@JuliusBrussee](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee)** — viral *"why use many token when few token do trick"*. 9Router adapts its prompt → **−65% output tokens**.
 
-### 上游报错或配额不足
+Huge thanks to these authors — without their work, 9Router's token-saving features wouldn't exist. ⭐ them on GitHub!
 
-- 重新连接供应商
-- 切换到其他模型
-- 创建带 fallback 的 combo
