First batch of pre-Phase-2 cleanup work. 5 GitHub issues closed in
one cohesive commit covering streaming-path correctness, IR
validator hardening, and CI path-trigger hygiene.
Changes (4 files, +302 / -5):
**Code fixes**
1. **#9 — Streaming empty-then-clean-exit headers** (server.mjs)
Pre-D35: when a provider's streaming spawn finished cleanly with
zero chunks (e.g. spec-degenerate stop with no content), the
response went out the SSE_DONE / res.end path without ever calling
writeHead. Result: client saw stream open + close with no headers,
no status code path applied. Now: zero-chunk branch guards
`!res.headersSent` and emits Content-Type + Cache-Control +
Connection + X-Accel-Buffering + all 5 X-OLP-* headers via
olpHeaders (provider attempted, cache miss) before writing the
terminator. Zero-chunk path correctly does NOT cache (cache write
remains gated on irChunk.type === 'stop').
2. **#10 — Streaming post-first-chunk error truncation marker**
(server.mjs, two sibling sites)
Pre-D35: if a provider yielded an error AFTER first content chunk
was emitted, the SSE stream was abandoned with raw socket close.
Client SDKs that wait for finish_reason hung. Now:
- Catch-block firstChunkEmitted=true path: emit synthetic
`{type:'stop', finish_reason:'length'}` via irChunkToOpenAISSE,
write SSE_DONE, end. Per ADR 0004 § Fallback safety: post-first-
chunk truncation surfaces as `length` finish, not a hang.
- Sibling fix in error-chunk path (provider yields `type:'error'`
chunk AFTER first content chunk): same recovery (marker + DONE +
end). Scope-creep acknowledged but identical semantic; clean to
fix together. Comments cross-reference D26 F19 and D35 #10.
3. **#11 — validateIRRequest irVersion strict check** (lib/ir/types.mjs)
ADR 0003 IR contract pins irVersion to '1.0'. Validator pre-D35
accepted ANY value (including no value, undefined, '2.0',
numeric 1.0). Now: `obj.irVersion !== undefined && obj.irVersion
!== '1.0'` → rejection. Strict string match. `undefined` still
accepted (pre-D35 IRs without the field remain valid — back-compat
with sites that haven't yet been migrated to emit it). Error
message uses JSON.stringify for safe rendering.
4. **#12 — alignment.yml scripts/** trigger removal**
(.github/workflows/alignment.yml)
Pre-D35 push.paths and pull_request.paths listed scripts/**. The
scripts/ directory does not currently exist (per AGENTS.md note:
scripts/migrate-from-ocp.mjs is planned for Phase 7). A path
filter referencing a non-existent directory has no effect on
trigger evaluation BUT misleads readers about the workflow's
intent. Removed from both push.paths and pull_request.paths. When
scripts/ lands in Phase 7, the trigger should be re-added at the
same time (see release_kit_overlay.bootstrap_quirk_policy).
**Verification — #4 (uniform X-OLP-Latency-Ms across error paths)**
#4 was found to already be correct via D32. Re-audit of all 7
in-handler sendError sites in handleChatCompletions confirmed all
attach a 5-header set via olpHeaders or olpErrorHeaders:
- 360-361 (415 wrong Content-Type) → olpErrorHeaders
- 368-369 (400 bad JSON) → olpErrorHeaders
- 378-379 (400 BadRequestError IR translation) → olpErrorHeaders
- 402-407 (503 no chain) → olpErrorHeaders
- 617-618 (503 provider disappeared) → olpErrorHeaders
- 760-761 (502 streaming pre-first-chunk error) → olpHeaders
- 778-779 (500 fallback engine error) → olpErrorHeaders
The 404 (line 922) and outer 500 (line 926) are router-level paths
without startMs context and correctly lack OLP headers. D35 adds
the #4-audit regression test pinning the 5-header invariant on the
503 no-provider response so future drift is caught immediately.
**Tests** (test-features.mjs): 416 → 424 (+8):
- #4-audit ×1 (5-header invariant on 503 no-provider sendError)
- #9 ×1 (zero-chunk streaming → 200 + Content-Type=text/event-stream
+ 5 X-OLP-* headers + [DONE])
- #10 ×1 (catch-throw after first chunk → marker + length finish + DONE)
- #10b ×1 (provider error chunk after first chunk → same recovery)
- #11a ×1 (irVersion undefined accepted)
- #11b ×1 (irVersion '1.0' accepted)
- #11c ×1 (irVersion '2.0' rejected)
- #11d ×1 (irVersion numeric 1.0 rejected)
Pre-commit fold-in (per evidence-first checkpoint #4):
- **D35 reviewer flagged JSDoc/validator drift on irVersion**
(Suggestion #1, non-blocking). The @property typedef at
lib/ir/types.mjs:43 said `{string} irVersion - always IR_VERSION`
but the validator at lines 185-186 accepts `undefined`. Future
reader who scans the @property alone sees contradiction without
the rationale comment 140 lines below. Folded: typedef marked
`[irVersion]` (optional) and description updated to "optional;
when present must equal IR_VERSION ('1.0'). Pre-D35 IRs lack
this field and remain valid."
Two other non-blocking reviewer suggestions not folded (out of
scope for D35; tracked as future polish):
- Distinct event names for the two streaming_error_after_first_chunk
log sites (provider-emitted string vs JS exception message).
- Phase 7 TODO: re-add scripts/** trigger to alignment.yml when
scripts/migrate-from-ocp.mjs lands.
Authority:
- ADR 0004 § Fallback safety — post-first-chunk truncation surfaces
as `length` finish (#10 + #10b)
- ADR 0003 § IR contract — irVersion pinned to '1.0' (#11)
- AGENTS.md § Implementation status — scripts/ planned for Phase 7
(#12)
- CLAUDE.md release_kit_overlay phase_rolling_mode — D35 lands
under "Unreleased" against Phase 2; no version bump
- CC 开发铁律 v1.6 § 10.x — independent fresh-context reviewer
required for code change
Reviewer (Iron Rule v1.6 § 10.x Mode A, fresh-context opus,
independent of drafter): APPROVE_WITH_MINOR. Critical depth checks:
- Verified all 7 sendError sites in handleChatCompletions attach
5-header set (cited line numbers reconciled with current state)
- Verified writeHead block guarded by !res.headersSent; correctly
placed AFTER optional truncation marker, BEFORE SSE_DONE
- Verified irVersion validator strict-equality semantics across all
4 cases (undefined / '1.0' / '2.0' / numeric 1.0)
- Verified scripts/** removed from both push and pull_request paths
- Verified hygiene: 0 hits for personal markers, home paths, OAuth
tokens, internal IPs
- 424/424 tests pass independently in reviewer's run

OLP — Open LLM Proxy
A personal- and family-scale multi-provider LLM proxy. One HTTP endpoint, many subscriptions behind it, automatic routing, automatic fallback, content-addressed caching — so your IDEs and family clients keep working as long as any of your subscriptions has quota left.
Status: v0.1 — bootstrap. Most of this README is a skeleton; sections marked placeholder land alongside the relevant phase of work (see phase plan).
Why OLP
On 2026-05-14, Anthropic announced (effective 2026-06-15) that claude -p, the Agent SDK, and third-party agent traffic move out of the Pro/Max subscription pool into a separate fixed monthly Agent SDK Credit pool. OCP, OLP's predecessor, was a proxy around a single CLI — its core assumption was "subscription = unlimited within rate limits". That assumption breaks for Anthropic on the effective date.
The structural response is to stop relying on one provider's subscription terms remaining favourable. OLP spreads risk across multiple providers whose subscriptions still include CLI/programmatic use, routes intelligently between them, and caches aggressively so every request that does spawn a CLI counts.
OLP is not: a commercial multi-tenant SaaS; an enterprise gateway competing with LiteLLM / OpenCode / CLIProxyAPI on breadth; a model-capability router ("route to the smartest model" — you pick the model); a conversation-state store (your client handles that).
See ALIGNMENT.md for OLP's constitution and docs/adr/ for the founding ADRs.
Quick Start
placeholder — lands with Phase 1.
Anticipated shape:
# install
npm install -g @dtzp555-max/olp
# run setup (writes ~/.olp/config.json, asks which providers to enable)
olp setup
# start the proxy (default port 3456 — same as OCP if you migrate)
olp start
# point your IDE at http://localhost:3456/v1/chat/completions with the OLP API key from `olp keys list`.
Supported Providers
Source of truth: models-registry.json. This table is regenerated from the registry per the release_kit overlay; do not edit it out of sync.
OLP distinguishes Candidate Providers (declared as intended, not yet pinned) from Enabled Providers (authority pin filled + plugin landed + Phase audit passed). The v0.1 founding commit ships zero Enabled Providers — enablement is a Phase audit deliverable, not a bootstrap claim. See ALIGNMENT.md § Provider Inventory for the transition gate.
Candidate Providers
| Provider key | CLI | Subscription / auth | Anticipated Tier | Anticipated Phase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
anthropic |
claude -p |
Pro / Max OAuth (pre-2026-06-15); Agent SDK Credit pool after | D (re-eval post-2026-06-15) | Phase 1 |
openai |
codex exec --json |
ChatGPT Pro OAuth or API key | D | Phase 2 |

Risk tier guide. D = permissive / safe (eligible for default-enabled); C = tightening signal, no enforcement history (opt-in); B = service-level key revocation risk (opt-in + consent); A = excluded by default (cannot be opt-in enabled). Tier B providers prompt for explicit consent on first enable and record consent in ~/.olp/config.json. See ALIGNMENT.md § Risk Tier Framework.
Excluded by default (Tier A — evidence-backed, pending primary-source pin). Google Antigravity. See ADR 0006 for the named-prohibition + no-cost-advantage + reinstatement-friction rationale, and for the primary-source pinning follow-up that may force a Tier reconsideration if the Google FAQ language cannot be sourced within 90 days of 2026-05-23.
Configuration
placeholder — full configuration reference lands with Phase 4 (fallback engine).
OLP reads its config from ~/.olp/config.json. The minimum useful shape:
{
"routing": {
"chains": {
"<requested-model>": [
{ "provider": "<key>", "model": "<provider-model-id>" },
{ "provider": "<key>", "model": "<provider-model-id>" }
]
},
"soft_triggers": {
"<provider-key>": { "<trigger>": <threshold> }
}
}
}
Note:
routing.soft_triggersthresholds are parsed and stored but have no runtime effect at v0.1 — the quota polling path (quotaStatus()per hop) is deferred to v1.x per ADR 0004 Amendment 2. The evaluation logic exists and is tested; only the production data ingestion path is deferred.
Trigger types, fallback safety, idempotency rules, and the full example config land here when Phase 4 ships. See ADR 0004 (Fallback Engine Semantics & Safety) for the design.
API Endpoints
placeholder — full table lands as each endpoint lands.
| Endpoint | Method | Phase | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|

GET | 6 | 📋 Planned | Owner-only dashboard (localhost-bound by default). |
Environment Variables
placeholder — full table lands per-phase as variables are introduced.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
OLP_PORT |
3456 |
HTTP listener port. |
OLP_CLAUDE_BIN |
claude (from PATH) |
Override path to the claude binary (Anthropic provider). Useful when multiple claude installs are present. |
OLP_CODEX_BIN |
codex (from PATH) |
Override path to the codex binary (OpenAI provider). |
OLP_VIBE_BIN |
vibe (from PATH) |
Override path to the vibe binary (Mistral provider). |
Per-provider auth env vars
These variables configure credential discovery for each provider plugin. Setting the correct one for your provider is usually required for OLP to make successful requests.
Anthropic (claude -p)
| Variable | Default behavior | Description |
|---|---|---|
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN |
Searches ~/.claude/.credentials.json first, then macOS keychain (darwin only) |
Directly supplies the OAuth access token. Highest-precedence override; bypasses all credential-discovery logic. Useful in CI/headless environments where the keychain is unavailable. |
OpenAI Codex (codex exec --json)
| Variable | Default behavior | Description |
|---|---|---|
OPENAI_CODEX_AUTH_PATH |
~/.codex/auth.json (or $CODEX_HOME/auth.json) |
Overrides the full path to the Codex auth artifact. When set, no other path is tried; missing or malformed file returns null (no auth). Useful for CI test fixtures. |
CODEX_HOME |
~/.codex |
Overrides the Codex home directory. $CODEX_HOME/auth.json becomes the default auth path. Ignored when OPENAI_CODEX_AUTH_PATH is set explicitly. |
Mistral Vibe (vibe --prompt)
| Variable | Default behavior | Description |
|---|---|---|
MISTRAL_API_KEY |
Reads $VIBE_HOME/.env (default ~/.vibe/.env) |
Directly supplies the Mistral API key. Highest-precedence override per DOCS-2; bypasses .env file lookup. |
MISTRAL_VIBE_AUTH_PATH |
~/.vibe/.env (or $VIBE_HOME/.env) |
Overrides the full path to the Vibe .env auth file. Evaluated only when MISTRAL_API_KEY is not set. When set, no other path is tried; missing or malformed file returns null (no auth). |
VIBE_HOME |
~/.vibe |
Overrides the Vibe home directory. $VIBE_HOME/.env becomes the default auth path. Ignored when MISTRAL_API_KEY or MISTRAL_VIBE_AUTH_PATH is set explicitly. |
📋 Planned (Phase 2) — not yet read by the codebase:
OLP_HOME(~/.olp) — Config, providers, keys, cache, logs root. Currently hardcoded to~/.olp/config.jsoninloadFallbackConfigSync; the env override path is a Phase 2 config-layer deliverable.OLP_LOG_LEVEL(info) — Log level filter (error/warn/info/debug).logEventcurrently writes unconditionally; level filtering is a Phase 2 observability deliverable.
See also the Implementation status table.
Response Headers
Every response served through OLP carries:
X-OLP-Provider-Used: <provider-key>— which provider's plugin served the request.X-OLP-Model-Used: <model-id>— which model the served provider used.X-OLP-Fallback-Hops: <n>— number of fallback hops (0if served by the primary chain entry).X-OLP-Cache: hit | miss | bypass— cache layer outcome.X-OLP-Latency-Ms: <ms>— end-to-end latency observed at the proxy.
If a fallback chain is exhausted, X-OLP-Fallback-Exhausted lists the tried providers in order.
Implementation status (as of 2026-05-24)

Architecture
OLP is a Node.js (ESM, .mjs) HTTP proxy with no build step and minimal dependencies. The high-level shape:
- Entry surface —
server.mjshandles/v1/chat/completionsand the administrative endpoints. Governed by OpenAI's/v1/chat/completionsspecification as the wire authority. SeeALIGNMENT.md§ Authorities. - Intermediate Representation (IR) —
lib/ir/normalizes between the entry surface and provider-native shapes. The IR is the lingua franca; any extension is an ADR 0003 amendment. - Provider plugins —
lib/providers/<name>.mjs. Each plugin implements the contract in ADR 0002 (Plugin Architecture for Providers), spawns its CLI, and translates between IR and provider-native IO. - Cache layer —
lib/cache/is a content-addressed cache keyed on the 11-field tuple defined in ADR 0005 § "Cache key composition (v1.0)" (provider, model, messages, tools, temperature, response_format, cache_control, max_tokens, top_p, stop, tool_choice — as of Amendment 2/D15). Per-key isolation, prompt-caching bypass, chunked stream replay, and singleflight. See ADR 0005 (Cache Layer Cross-Provider Design). Current backing store is an in-memory Map; file-backed storage is planned for Phase 2. - Fallback engine —
lib/fallback/advances a configured chain one provider at a time on configured triggers, never retrying after the first response chunk has been emitted to the client. See ADR 0004. - Multi-key auth —
lib/keys.mjs(📋 planned, Phase 2) will carry OCP's per-OLP-key namespace isolation forward. Each OLP API key will have independent quota, cache namespace, and audit log; each key declares which providers it can access.
Read the ADRs in docs/adr/ in order before proposing structural changes.
Phase plan
OLP lands in phases. Each phase has its own PR series and Iron-Rule-10 reviewer; this README's placeholders are filled per-phase via the release_kit overlay.
- Phase 0 — Repo bootstrap,
ALIGNMENT.md, founding ADRs, CI workflows, PR template. (current) - Phase 1 —
server.mjsskeleton, IR, Anthropic plugin, cache D1+D4. Port from OCP. - Phase 2 — OpenAI Codex plugin.
- Phase 3 — Mistral Vibe plugin.
- Phase 4 — Fallback engine + routing chains config + quota poll worker.
- Phase 5 — Cache cross-provider hardening (D2+D3).
- Phase 6 — Dashboard + observability (
/v0/management/quota). - Phase 7 — Release v0.1, OCP enters maintenance.
- Phase 8+ — Optional Grok / Kimi / tier-2 plugins; provider-native protocol endpoints; deterministic triggers.
Full spec (decision rationale, open questions, risks): ~/.cc-rules/memory/projects/olp_v0_1_spec.md on the maintainer's workstations.
Migration from OCP
placeholder — scripts/migrate-from-ocp.mjs lands with Phase 7 (📋 planned, not yet authored).
Anticipated user-facing flow (target: <5 minutes):
- Stop OCP (
launchctl bootoutthe OCP service orocp stop). - Install OLP.
- Run
olp migrate-from-ocp— copies~/.ocp/keys/to~/.olp/keys/and points provider plugins at OCP's existing auth artifacts where applicable. - Start OLP. Clients pointing at port 3456 keep working; their existing OLP API keys remain valid.
OCP's cache directory is not migrated: OLP's cache key format includes provider+model and warms cold naturally. OCP enters maintenance mode (stability fixes only) when OLP v0.1 ships; new development happens in OLP.

Acknowledgements
OLP evolved from OCP (Open Claude Proxy). OCP's per-key isolation model, cache-layer design (D1–D4), dashboard, and alignment-constitution discipline are all carried forward. The structural generalization from single-CLI to multi-provider is what makes this a new project rather than an OCP minor version — see ALIGNMENT.md § Reference: How OCP's cli.js discipline maps to OLP.
