ADR 0002 Amendment 1 declared `hints.maxConcurrent` declarative-only at
v0.1 — type-validated at startup but with no runtime enforcement.
D38 wires the runtime enforcement via a per-provider in-flight spawn
counter with immediate-advancement on saturation.
Design choice: **immediate-advancement via fallback engine** (queue +
timeout DEFERRED). When a provider is at its maxConcurrent limit, the
spawn call synchronously fails with a new `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT` error
code; the fallback engine treats this as a hard trigger and advances
to the next chain hop. If the entire chain is saturated, the user
sees a chain-exhausted error (existing path).
Rationale for immediate-advancement over queue+timeout:
1. The fallback chain exists precisely for this kind of overflow —
adding a queue layer would duplicate the advancement semantics.
2. Queue + timeout adds new config surface (timeout duration, queue
depth bounds, queue eviction policy) that isn't needed at the
personal/family scale OLP serves.
3. Head-of-line blocking risk: a long-running spawn would stall
queued requests behind it even though other providers in the chain
could serve them immediately.
4. Fail-fast latency aligns with the multi-provider proxy philosophy
("spread risk across providers, not within a provider").
Queue + timeout is deferred to a v1.x design ADR if real usage shows
demand. ADR 0002 Amendment 6 and ADR 0004 Amendment 4 capture the
decision explicitly.
Changes (8 files, +<delta>):
**Code**
1. **lib/providers/base.mjs** — add `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT` to
`PROVIDER_ERROR_CODES`. JSDoc clarifies the code is synthesised by
the orchestration layer, not thrown by provider plugins themselves.
2. **lib/providers/index.mjs** — new semaphore primitives:
- `tryAcquireSpawn(providerName, maxConcurrent)` — atomic
check-then-increment. Returns `true` on success, `false` if at
limit. Atomicity rests on the JS single-threaded invariant
(read + write synchronous, NO `await` between them); module-level
comment block warns future maintainers against breaking this.
- `releaseSpawn(providerName)` — decrement; throws on
under-decrement (defensive bug guard for missing acquire / double
release). Map.delete at zero for clean memory footprint.
- `getActiveSpawnCount(providerName)` — returns current count
(0 for unseen providers). For diagnostics + tests.
- `DEFAULT_MAX_CONCURRENT_SPAWNS = 4` — defense-in-depth fallback
matching the v0.1 plugin defaults (anthropic/codex/mistral all
declare hints.maxConcurrent: 4). Also coerces non-integer / NaN
/ negative inputs to the default.
- `__resetSpawnCounters()` — internal test seam.
3. **lib/fallback/engine.mjs** — `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT: true` added to
`HARD_TRIGGER_CODES`. `classifyTrigger` and `evaluateHardTriggers`
both pick it up via the same lookup. v0.1 live hard-trigger codes
are now 5 (was 4 post-D34): SPAWN_FAILED, CLI_NOT_FOUND,
AUTH_MISSING:false, SPAWN_TIMEOUT, CONCURRENCY_LIMIT.
4. **server.mjs** — gate the spawn call in handleChatCompletions at
BOTH spawn call sites:
- **Buffered path** (executeHopFn → collectAllChunks): acquire
before provider.spawn; on failure synthesise
`ProviderError(CONCURRENCY_LIMIT)` with providerName /
maxConcurrent / activeSpawns diagnostic fields and throw —
fallback engine catches and advances. On success, outer try/
finally wraps the inner D16 truncation-salvage try/catch so
releaseSpawn fires on EVERY exit path (return, D16 salvage
return, re-throw).
- **Streaming path** (single-hop real-SSE branch): acquire BEFORE
the streaming branch entry. If acquire fails, branch is skipped
and request falls through to buffered path (whose own gate
surfaces chain-exhausted for single-hop chains). If acquire
succeeds, existing streaming try/catch gains
`finally { releaseSpawn(streamProvider) }` — slot releases on
stop-chunk completion, generator exhaustion, abort, or any
exception path. `releaseSpawn` fires at END of stream
consumption, not when spawn() returns.
**Tests** (test-features.mjs): 431 → 447 (+16):
Suite 18 — D38 — maxConcurrent runtime enforcement:
- 18a: PROVIDER_ERROR_CODES.CONCURRENCY_LIMIT exists
- 18b: evaluateHardTriggers true for CONCURRENCY_LIMIT
- 18c: AUTH_MISSING regression guard (D38 did NOT flip it to hard)
- 18d.1-18d.4: semaphore unit (increment / saturate-no-increment /
release / map-delete-at-zero)
- 18e: tryAcquireSpawn returns false without side-effect when at limit
- 18f: releaseSpawn throws on under-decrement
- 18g.1-18g.2: DEFAULT_MAX_CONCURRENT_SPAWNS applied for invalid
inputs (undefined / NaN / negative / non-integer)
- 18h: __resetSpawnCounters clears state
- 18i: HTTP integration — 5 concurrent requests to single-hop
chain w/ maxConcurrent=2 → peak in-flight exactly 2, 2 succeed,
3 fail
- 18j: counter releases after buffered request (sequential test)
- 18k: 2-hop chain — saturated primary advances to fallback
- 18l: streaming counter releases at END of stream (not at spawn)
**ADR amendments**
5. **docs/adr/0002-plugin-architecture.md** — Amendment 6 added.
Removes "Declarative hint only at v0.1" caveat from the
`maxConcurrent` description in the Provider contract section.
Adds implementation reference + design-choice rationale (4 points).
Lists all exported symbols.
6. **docs/adr/0004-fallback-engine.md** — Amendment 4 added.
CONCURRENCY_LIMIT added to v0.1 hard-trigger taxonomy. Documents
synthesis-vs-plugin-thrown distinction. Documents first-chunk
safety (acquire before any res.write). v1.x re-evaluation triggers
named.
**CHANGELOG**
7. **CHANGELOG.md** — Unreleased sentinel replaced with proper D38
entry. Per CLAUDE.md release_kit phase_rolling_mode, this lands
under Unreleased; promotion to ## v0.1.1 happens at the v0.1.1
release. The D37 phase_rolling_mode gate now correctly fires if
anyone tags v0.1.x with this content present without promotion —
intentional.
Pre-commit fold-ins (per evidence-first checkpoint #4):
- **Reviewer Suggestion #1 (test 18c name mismatch)**: 18c is named
"classifyTrigger returns hard for CONCURRENCY_LIMIT" but body tests
AUTH_MISSING regression. Renamed header comment to
"AUTH_MISSING regression guard" and clarified that
CONCURRENCY_LIMIT classification is covered by 18b.
- **Reviewer Suggestion #3 (activeSpawns diagnostic field)**: server
.mjs:532 set `concurrencyErr.activeSpawns = maxConcurrent` (the
limit). Technically correct (since acquire just failed, live
count == limit) but confuses future readers. Changed to query
`getActiveSpawnCount(hopProvider)` directly. Added import of the
new symbol to the lib/providers/index.mjs import block.
- **Reviewer Suggestion #5 (ADR overstatement)**: ADR 0002 Amendment 6
said getActiveSpawnCount is "exported for /health, diagnostics,
and tests" but /health integration is not wired at D38. Reworded to
"exported for diagnostics and tests" + "/health integration
deferred — when surfaced there will land at providers.status.<name>
.activeSpawns; not wired at D38." Avoids overstating current state.
Two reviewer suggestions not folded:
- Suggestion #2 (streaming test 18l comment about branch entry
conditions) — low priority; the test passes and the branch is
taken (verified by reviewer). Future polish if confusion arises.
- Suggestion #4 (additional test for streaming-saturation → chain-
exhausted) — code path is straightforward and intentional; 18i
covers the buffered-path version directly. Defer.
Authority:
- ADR 0002 Amendment 1 (declarative-only caveat) — superseded by
Amendment 6
- ADR 0002 Amendment 6 (this commit) — runtime enforcement landed
- ADR 0004 Amendment 4 (this commit) — CONCURRENCY_LIMIT added to
v0.1 hard-trigger taxonomy
- GitHub issue #1 — closed by this commit
- CC 开发铁律 v1.6 § 10.x — independent fresh-context reviewer
- CLAUDE.md release_kit_overlay phase_rolling_mode — no version
bump; Unreleased entry written
Reviewer (Iron Rule v1.6 § 10.x Mode A, fresh-context opus,
independent of drafter): APPROVE. Critical depth checks:
- Atomicity in tryAcquireSpawn (lines 285-290 read+set with no
intervening await) — confirmed; module-level invariant comment
warns future maintainers
- Release on every exit path: buffered (outer finally wraps inner
try/catch covering D16 salvage return + normal return + re-throw);
streaming (try/finally covers stop-chunk return + loop exhaustion +
catch paths). No double-release path identified.
- Streaming release timing: fires in finally after res.end() at all
exit paths, never before stream consumption completes
- Counter leak: every code path traced — no orphan acquire identified
- 447/447 tests pass in reviewer's independent npm test run

Architecture Decision Records — OLP
This directory holds the OLP Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — short documents that capture the why behind structural choices.
Read these before proposing governance, plug-in contract, IR, fallback, cache, or provider-inclusion changes.
Numbering
ADRs in OLP start at 0001 (the project's founding decision). OLP did not inherit the 0001 placeholder convention OCP used; the project starts on a fresh numbering line.
New ADRs increment from the highest existing number. Filenames are NNNN-<short-slug>.md.
Index
| ADR | Title | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 0001 | Project Founding | Why OLP exists (the 2026-06-15 Anthropic billing-split trigger), mission + non-mission boundaries, explicit supersession of OCP ADR 0005 "No Multi-Provider". |
| 0002 | Plugin Architecture for Providers | The lib/providers/<name>.mjs plug-in model, the Provider contract (name / models / auth / spawn / estimateCost / quotaStatus / healthCheck / hints), static in-tree registry, why-not full external plugin discovery. |
| 0003 | Intermediate Representation (IR) Design | The OLP-internal canonical request/response shape between the OpenAI-compat entry surface and each provider plugin. v1.0 IR fields, IR-vs-OpenAI-vs-native-provider three-shape model, IR is not exposed externally. |
| 0004 | Fallback Engine Semantics & Safety | Trigger taxonomy (Hard / Soft / Deterministic-deferred / Cost-aware-deferred), idempotent-failure safety (first-chunk rule), chain advancement one-at-a-time, observability headers. |
| 0005 | Cache Layer Cross-Provider Design | Cache key composition over (provider, model, messages, …), per-model isolation, D1+D2+D3+D4 port from OCP v3.13.0, cross-provider fallback cache behaviour (correct miss). |
| 0006 | Provider Inclusion / Exclusion + Risk-Tier Framework | The 4-tier classification (A excluded by default / B explicit consent / C opt-in / D eligible-for-default-enabled), Candidate-vs-Enabled distinction, current v0.1 candidate inventory (0 Enabled), Antigravity exclusion rationale (named prohibition + no cost advantage + reinstatement friction; pending primary-source pin), consent UX, future provider addition procedure. |
When to write a new ADR
Open one whenever:
- A structural rule is being added or changed (e.g., new IR field, new trigger type, new cache-key composition).
- A new provider plugin is being proposed (per ADR 0002 + ADR 0006 — ADR is a hard prerequisite for plugin merge).
- A decision encodes a lesson from an external event (provider policy change, drift incident).
- A future contributor reading the code alone could plausibly undo or re-litigate the choice.
Skip ADRs for routine implementation choices (algorithm pick, naming) — those belong in commit messages.
Format
Keep ADRs short — Context / Decision / Consequences / Alternatives is the standard skeleton. Cite incidents, PRs, or commits where useful. Length per ADR ~150–250 lines; longer than that, split.
