+# Claude AutoRouter
+
+Use Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus in one Claude Code session. A local gateway classifies each inference request with the selected evaluator, applies compatibility and context checks, and streams the selected model's response back to Claude Code. [TypeSafe Jev](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev) is the default; an experimental Ollama backend evaluates requests locally.
+
+Requires Node.js 22+, macOS or Linux (including WSL), an installed `claude` command, and a Claude subscription login or Anthropic API key. The default evaluator also requires a [TypeSafe API key](https://console.typesafe.ai). There are no runtime package dependencies. Native Windows is not supported in this release.
+
+## Install and start
+
+**npm publication is pending.** Install the release tarball now:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g ./claude-autorouter-0.2.0.tgz
+```
+
+Once the package is published, install it from the registry with:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g claude-autorouter
+```
+
+Set up once, then launch from any project directory:
+
+```sh
+claude-autorouter setup
+claude-autorouter doctor
+cd /path/to/project
+claude-autorouter claude
+```
+
+Setup defaults to your Claude subscription and prompts for your Jev key without echoing it. If Claude is not already signed in, run `claude auth login`. No Anthropic API key or exported subscription token is needed for subscription mode. Jev has separate credentials and billing.
+
+Setup saves a private JSON config at `~/.config/claude-autorouter/config.json`; `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `AUTOROUTER_CONFIG` can change its location. Environment variables override saved configuration. Project `.env` files are not loaded automatically.
+
+Claude Code arguments pass through:
+
+```sh
+claude-autorouter claude -p "Fix the typo in README.md"
+claude-autorouter --help
+claude-autorouter --version
+```
+
+For API billing, use `claude-autorouter setup --auth-mode api-key`. Use `--force` to replace an existing config. Automation can supply `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` and, in API-key mode, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` through the environment; keys are never command-line arguments. `doctor` checks local configuration and Claude installation/login state without paid requests. See the [configuration reference](docs/reference.md#configuration).
+
+## What you see
+
+The launcher adds a temporary status line and leaves saved Claude Code settings unchanged:
+
+```text
+● AutoRouter · last Haiku 4.5 · ready · Jev 210ms · est saved $0.04 (75%) vs Opus
+● AutoRouter · Sonnet 5 selected · connecting · Jev→Haiku 290ms · large context
+```
+
+The confirmed model comes from Anthropic's response. Claude's own model label can still show its Haiku starting model. `API ctx` measures input against the actual model's known window; a different client limit remains visible as `CLI ctx`.
+
+Savings are an **API-equivalent estimate for the same token counts**, using Opus as the baseline. They do not measure subscription bill reductions or quota credits and exclude Jev and local compute costs. [Status line and savings details](docs/reference.md#status-line-and-savings).
+
+## Experimental local evaluator
+
+[Install and start Ollama](https://docs.ollama.com/quickstart), then select a preset. The default `compact` uses less memory; `quality` showed better agreement with the routing rubric:
+
+```sh
+claude-autorouter setup --evaluator ollama --ollama-preset compact --pull
+claude-autorouter doctor
+claude-autorouter claude
+```
+
+Add `--force` when replacing an existing config. Setup downloads a missing selected model only with `--pull`; it does not install or start Ollama. No Jev key is needed. Claude still answers through Anthropic, with the same routing guards and subscription limits.
+
+The launcher primes the local classifier before opening Claude's UI. Failed evaluations fall back to Sonnet or retain Opus without contacting Jev. See the [Ollama reference](docs/reference.md#ollama-evaluator) for setup options.
+
+Both presets were tested on a 16 GiB M4 Mac using 24 distinct held-out synthetic workloads repeated three times:
+
+| Preset | Rubric agreement | Warm p50 / p95 | Model allocation |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| `compact` (`qwen3:1.7b`) | 58.3% | 602 / 834 ms | 1.70 GB |
+| `quality` (`qwen3:4b`) | 91.7% | 889 / 1,242 ms | 3.18 GB |
+
+Use `--ollama-preset quality` to choose the larger model when memory permits, including on a 16 GiB machine. Each model timed out on all eight full-excerpt stress requests at the 1,500 ms deadline. These results do not establish parity with Jev or completed-task quality. Read the [measurements and limits](docs/ollama-evaluation.md) before choosing local classification.
+
+## Behavior and data
+
+- The default client profile permits all three routing tiers. Tool continuations, thinking history, model-specific features, and context size can keep or upgrade a model even when the evaluator chooses a cheaper tier. [Routing policy](docs/reference.md#routing-policy).
+- The selected evaluator receives bounded excerpts that can contain source code, system instructions, and tool results: TypeSafe with Jev, or the local service with Ollama. Anthropic receives the complete request. Images, document payloads, and private thinking are omitted from classifier input. [Data flow and authentication](docs/reference.md#data-flow-and-authentication).
+- Subscription access and usage limits still apply. Model switches can reduce cache reuse; cheaper token prices do not guarantee cheaper completed tasks. Run ordinary `claude` to bypass routing.
+- The launcher is quiet by default. Use `AUTOROUTER_DEBUG=1` for metadata diagnostics or `AUTOROUTER_STATUSLINE=0` to retain your existing status line. [Troubleshooting](docs/reference.md#troubleshooting).

+# Development and validation
+
+Use Node.js 22+ from a source checkout on macOS or Linux (including WSL). The project has no runtime package dependencies. Development scripts and tests are separate from the installed CLI; user setup is covered in the [README](../README.md).
+
+## Local checks
+
+```sh
+npm run check
+npm test
+npm run test:package
+```
+
+The test suite uses local mocks and fake credentials. It covers Jev and Ollama routing, bounded prompt extraction, confidence and timeout fallback, token checks, model continuity, authentication forwarding, streaming, cancellation, status state, savings, and launcher behavior. Tests that start HTTP services require loopback binding. Local tests make no paid provider calls or model downloads.
+
+Package validation checks the distributable and installed command rather than relying on the source checkout's paths. Review the [release procedure](releasing.md) before distributing a tarball.
+
+## Run from source
+
+```sh
+cp .env.example .env
+# Set your Jev key, or select an installed local Ollama evaluator.
+# Choose subscription or API-key authentication.
+node --env-file=.env bin/autorouter.mjs doctor
+node --env-file=.env bin/autorouter.mjs claude
+```
+
+The explicit Node flag loads `.env`; the CLI itself does not auto-load project files. Environment values override the user config. Keep keys out of source control and command arguments.
+
+## Live integration tests
+
+These tests make real Claude calls and invoke the configured evaluator, consuming Claude usage and, with Jev, TypeSafe usage. They use temporary synthetic fixtures and disable unrelated customizations and MCP servers. With Ollama, start the local service and install the chosen model first; the harness does not install or download it.
+
+```sh
+npm run test:live
+npm run test:live -- --case coding
+npm run test:live -- --case example_haiku,example_sonnet,example_opus
+npm run test:live -- --case large_context
+node scripts/live-validation.mjs --help
+```
+
+The harness checks response models, HTTP status, answers, tool use, continuation behavior, and independent tests for the coding fixture. The opt-in `large_context` case deliberately exceeds 200K input tokens. Reports contain metadata rather than request bodies or credentials; fixtures are removed afterward. Save any local reports outside the package allowlist.
+
+For a classifier-only rubric evaluation:
+
+```sh
+npm run eval
+```
+
+The bundled evaluation makes 12 classifier calls and no Claude generations. Jev is the default and incurs TypeSafe usage; set `AUTOROUTER_EVALUATOR=ollama` to evaluate an installed local model. It reports agreement with the starting rubric, fallback count, and p50/p95 routing latency. Edit `test/fixtures/routing.json` to represent the tasks you want to measure. Rubric agreement alone does not establish answer quality or net savings; compare completed tasks against fixed-model baselines.
+
+For local evaluator measurements, distinguish cold model loading from warmed classification, and record the model tag, hardware, Ollama version, context size, prompt length, and resident memory. The launcher primes the classifier rubric with a synthetic task before opening the UI, with a separate deadline of up to 60 seconds. Runtime and benchmark share the 3,000-character/3,000-UTF-8-byte state limit, so include non-ASCII cases and excerpts that fill the budget. Also measure the first request after keep-alive expiration: its reload can hit the normal deadline even when warm requests pass. Repeat on realistic prompt distributions instead of selecting a model from a single easy request. Disk download size is not resident RAM, and the larger preset is not a speed guarantee. Keep model downloads opt-in and respect each model's license.
+
+The dedicated Ollama benchmark uses synthetic tuning/held-out fixtures and reports cold latency separately from repeated warm requests:
+
+```sh
+npm run eval:ollama -- --models qwen3:1.7b,qwen3:4b --split heldout --rounds 3 --stress-rounds 8
+node scripts/evaluate-ollama.mjs --help
+```
+
+Install each selected model first and use an idle Ollama instance with no resident models. The benchmark loads one candidate at a time and unloads it afterward. It does not download models or contact Claude or Jev. It reports classification errors and under/over-routing as well as latency; fixture labels are subjective rubric judgments, not measurements of completed task quality.
+
+On the 16 GiB M4 test Mac, compact matched 58.3% of held-out labels at warm p50/p95 latency of 602/834 ms and 1.70 GB model allocation. Quality (`qwen3:4b`) matched 91.7% at 889/1,242 ms and 3.18 GB. Each was tested on the same 24 distinct synthetic workloads repeated three times. Quality had no under-routing on this fixture, but routed two distinct Sonnet workloads to Opus on all repetitions. Both models exceeded the 1,500 ms deadline on all eight full-excerpt stress requests. No Jev comparison was run; local classification remains experimental. See the [local evaluator measurements](ollama-evaluation.md) for the hardware, candidate comparisons, and limits. A successful launcher/Enterprise integration request establishes connectivity and model routing, not classifier accuracy or parity with Jev.
+
+## Startup context diagnostics
+
+The source-only probe launches Claude in a chosen repository and reports request sizes, tool counts, selected feature flags, and whether the entered prompt reaches the classifier excerpt. By default, a local stub answers and no request context goes to Jev or Anthropic:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/context-probe.mjs --cwd /path/to/project --tool-search unset
+node scripts/context-probe.mjs --cwd /path/to/project --tool-search true
+node scripts/context-probe.mjs --cwd /path/to/project --tool-search true --example haiku
+```
+
+Configured MCP servers still connect for discovery, and ordinary Claude startup customizations can run. The stub emits no tool calls. `--example` also accepts `sonnet` and `opus`.
+
+On macOS, `--interactive` uses `/usr/bin/script` and requires a terminal on stdin. This measures the interactive tool set rather than print mode's tool set. The probe records terminal byte counts, not terminal contents, then stops after its response. Claude may save its normal transcript in interactive mode because its no-session-persistence option is limited to print mode.
+
+`--classify` invokes the configured evaluator while Claude responses remain stubbed. With the default Jev backend, use it only when the selected repository's excerpts may be sent to TypeSafe; Ollama sends them to the local service. `--live` additionally sends the complete startup request to Anthropic, using `tool_choice: none` to prohibit model tool execution. Load configuration explicitly when using these modes:
+
+```sh
+node --env-file=.env scripts/context-probe.mjs --cwd /path/to/synthetic-fixture --example haiku --classify
+```
+
+Private repository or connected-tool context may be present even when the typed prompt is harmless. Keep private-payload investigations local unless external processing is authorized. For shareable live regressions, prefer the isolated synthetic fixtures above. The probe report itself persists only metadata.
