Unreleased

(empty — Phase 2 entries land here once Phase 2 opens)

v0.1.0 — 2026-05-24

Phase 1 Close — Multi-provider proxy core

Overview. Phase 1 delivers the OLP minimum-viable multi-provider proxy: OpenAI-compatible HTTP entry surface, plugin architecture for 3 Tier-D providers (Anthropic Claude / OpenAI Codex / Mistral Vibe), cache layer (D1 per-key isolation + D4 buffered-path singleflight + size cap + cacheable opt-out), fallback engine with first-chunk safety + spawn-timeout hard trigger + structured per-hop log observability, IR↔OpenAI translation honoring the Rule 2(b) no-invention constraint, and a 416-test suite covering all of it.

Released under phase_rolling_mode (CLAUDE.md release_kit overlay): 25 D-day commits accumulated on main between 2026-05-23 and 2026-05-24 before this version bump + tag.

Provider posture. Three Tier D plugins ship as Candidate (per ALIGNMENT.md § Provider Inventory) — runnable via providers.enabled config but not Enabled by default. Five additional Tier B/C plugin slots exist in models-registry.json as Speculative-Candidate / candidate stubs awaiting CLI authority pins. Zero Enabled providers at v0.1; transition to Enabled requires Phase audit + primary-source pin per ADR 0002.

What landed (D10–D34 commit index)

The per-commit detail is in the git log; this index summarizes the deliverables.

Phase 1 core hardening:

• D10 (2cfd0b1) — P1 round-3: providers.enabled config wiring + real SSE streaming on single-hop cache-miss + spawn-timeout hard trigger across all 3 plugins.

Round-1 fold-in batch (cold audit caught 17 findings):

• D11 (f659e29) — ADR 0002 Amendment 1: maxSpawnTimeMs ratified into Provider contract hints.
• D12 (4b1a9c8) — IR translator Rule 2(b) compliance: removed invented top-level error field on chat.completion shapes.
• D13 (f34b690) — Per-hop cache_control bypass evaluation (was request-global).
• D14 (a7085d9) — Defer res.writeHead(200) until first chunk; early-error returns 502 JSON instead of 200 empty SSE.
• D15 (8ae77c3) — ADR 0005 Amendment 2: cache key includes max_tokens / top_p / stop / tool_choice.
• D16 (bafa6d1) — ADR 0004 Amendment 1: SPAWN_FAILED-with-chunks salvage (don't discard partial responses).
• D17 (cb86807) — Alias routing SPOT via models-registry.json; getProviderForModel canonicalizes.
• D18 (82ff007) — /v1/models populated from registry; 5 standard X-OLP-* headers on error responses.
• D19 (ed82e65) — Cleanup batch: finish_reason validator, dead alignment.yml KNOWN_PROVIDERS removal, unused imports.
• D20 (d85a2dc) — Docs drift: README/AGENTS/ADR forward-references annotated 📋 Planned.

Round-2 fold-in batch (13 findings):

• D21 (1466d3a) — validateProvider enforces maxSpawnTimeMs contract field.
• D22 (e10b7d7) — ADR 0004 Amendment 2: soft triggers deferred to v1.x.
• D23 (7ef5510) — hints.cacheable opt-out + 10MB cache entry size cap (ADR 0002 Amendment 3, ADR 0005 Amendment 3).
• D24 (f8348ad) — Spawn-timeout race fix: post-loop if (spawnTimedOut) throw SPAWN_TIMEOUT closes the rejectNext-null window across all 3 plugins.
• D25 (cd391b1) — Round-2 P3 docs batch.

Round-3 fold-in batch (13 findings):

• D26 (a281d3e) — Soft-trigger startup warning, stderr propagation on error-chunk SPAWN_FAILED (codex+mistral), anthropic D4-observation header, streaming truncation marker.
• D27 (c3ba751) — IR validator response_format + tool_choice checks, ADR 0005 Amendment 4 (cache_control IR vs body), /v1/models alias surfacing.
• D28 (4a238c9) — Per-hop log observability: chain_id, trigger_type, ir_request_hash, next_provider on all 8 fallback log events.
• D29 (de9f3ca) — Suite 17 port-collision flake fix: 16 test sites switched to OS-assigned listen(0).
• D30 (5119b42) — README env vars correctness, docs/openai-spec-pin.md v0.1 baseline.
• D31 (d6347e3) — ADR amendment trio: F5 (ADR 0003 Amendment 1 substitute test strategy), F11 (ADR 0005 Amendment 5 Anthropic wire limitation), F13+F14 (ALIGNMENT.md Speculative-Candidate exception class).

Round-4 fold-in batch (10 findings):

• D32 (30de965) — Provider auth env vars in README, X-OLP-* on early-return paths, ADR 0002 Amendment 4 ratifying contractVersion, dead OUTPUT_PARSE_ERROR removal, codex parser inline assumption labels.

Round-5 fold-in batch (12 findings):

• D33 (f784fdb) — ALIGNMENT mistral --output streaming pin correction, deterministic function_call ID (cache key stability), /health per-provider snapshot, fallback-hop cache-hit X-OLP-Cache correctness, CLAUDE.md phase_rolling_mode policy formalization, /v1/models stable created timestamps.

Round-6 final batch (14 findings; 4 closed, 9 filed as issues):

• D34 (60570ef) — ADR 0005 Amendment 6 (streaming singleflight v1.x deferral), array-field cache key normalization (tools:[] / stop:[] now collide with omitted), QUOTA_EXHAUSTED + RATE_LIMITED dead code removal (ADR 0004 Amendment 3), ADR 0005 Amendment 7 (conservative cache-key v0.1 trade-off).

ADRs in scope

• ADR 0001 — Project founding (Phase 1 founding doc; no amendments)
• ADR 0002 — Plugin architecture (4 amendments — maxSpawnTimeMs, cacheable, contractVersion ratifications)
• ADR 0003 — IR design (1 amendment — __irRoundTripTest removal + substitute test strategy)
• ADR 0004 — Fallback engine (3 amendments — SPAWN_FAILED salvage, soft trigger deferral, hard-trigger taxonomy narrowing)
• ADR 0005 — Cache layer (7 amendments — cache key expansions, cache_control IR-vs-body, cacheable + size cap, Anthropic wire limitation, streaming singleflight deferral, conservative cache-key v0.1 trade-off)
• ADR 0006 — Provider inclusion (Tier framework; no amendments)
• ALIGNMENT.md — Speculative-Candidate plugin Rule 4 exception class added (D31)
• CLAUDE.md — phase_rolling_mode overlay added (D33)
• docs/openai-spec-pin.md — v0.1 baseline pinned (D30)

Test growth

277 (pre-D10) → 416 (post-D34). 6 cold audit rounds reviewed code against ADR claims. Iron Rule v1.6 § 10.x dual-mode review discipline (Diff Review + Cold Audit) caught 78+ findings of which ~50 closed via implementation and ~28 deferred to GitHub issues.

Known limitations carried to v1.x

17 GitHub issues filed for follow-up. Notably:

• Streaming singleflight (#16) — multi-concurrent identical streaming requests each spawn fresh CLI; buffered path participates in D4, streaming path doesn't (deferred via ADR 0005 Amendment 6).
• maxConcurrent runtime enforcement (#1) — declarative-only at v0.1.
• X-OLP-Fallback-Detail debug header (#7) — documented in ADR 0004, never emitted.
• Soft triggers (per ADR 0004 Amendment 2) — evaluation code exists but quotaStatus() polling not wired; configured thresholds inert at v0.1.

Migration from OCP

OLP supersedes OCP per ADR 0001. The scripts/migrate-from-ocp.mjs migration tool is 📋 Planned (Phase 7).

v0.1.0-bootstrap — 2026-05-23

Phase 0 — Repo bootstrap (founding + post-codex-review hardening)

This is the founding commit set of OLP (Open LLM Proxy), a personal- and family-scale multi-provider LLM proxy that supersedes OCP. The trigger was Anthropic's 2026-05-14 announcement (effective 2026-06-15) splitting claude -p / Agent SDK / third-party agent traffic out of the Pro/Max subscription pool into a separate fixed monthly Agent SDK Credit pool.

What lands at v0.1.0-bootstrap (final state on main as of 2026-05-23):

• ALIGNMENT.md — OLP constitution. Three concurrent authorities (per-provider CLI / OpenAI spec / IR contract), 5 Rules, 4-tier Risk Tier Framework, Candidate-vs-Enabled provider inventory, one-shot triggered audits (2026-06-16 Anthropic post-split; 90-day Antigravity primary-source pin).
• AGENTS.md — multi-tool agent guidelines (inherits ~/.cc-rules/AGENTS.md).
• CLAUDE.md — Claude-Code-specific session instructions + machine-readable release_kit overlay (Iron Rule 5.5).
• README.md — phase-aware skeleton with Candidate-vs-Enabled provider tables, API endpoint table, environment-variables table, response-headers spec, architecture overview, phase plan, migration-from-OCP outline. Placeholder content marked as such per phase.
• docs/adr/ — 6 founding ADRs:
  • 0001-project-founding.md — Mission, non-mission, narrow-scope supersession of OCP ADR 0005 (single-provider-sufficiency premise only; BYOK / no-spawn parts of ADR 0005 not inherited).
  • 0002-plugin-architecture.md — lib/providers/<name>.mjs plug-in model with the Provider contract (name / models / auth / spawn / estimateCost / quotaStatus / healthCheck / hints). 8 candidate providers declared, 0 Enabled at v0.1.
  • 0003-intermediate-representation.md — OLP-internal canonical IR between OpenAI-compat entry and provider plugins.
  • 0004-fallback-engine.md — 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-cross-provider.md — Cache key composition over (provider, model, messages, ...), D1+D2+D3+D4 port from OCP v3.13.0.
  • 0006-provider-inclusion.md — 4-tier Risk Framework, Candidate-vs-Enabled distinction, 8-provider candidate classification, Antigravity Tier A (evidence-backed, pending primary-source pin) — exclusion rests on (named prohibition + no cost advantage + reinstatement friction) combination; primary-source URL not yet pinned, follow-up tracked.
• .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — 8-radio Change Type taxonomy + per-type Authority Evidence sections + Iron Rule 10 reviewer checklist.
• .github/workflows/alignment.yml — CI blacklist (transitive api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage from OCP 2026-04-11 drift; Antigravity provider exclusion enforcement) + models-registry.json validator + commit-citation soft check (process-substitution form, no Bash subshell trap).
• .github/workflows/release.yml — Auto-release on tag push with package.json-vs-tag version match check (Iron Rule 5).
• .github/workflows/test.yml — Node 20/24 matrix; tolerates bootstrap-phase absence of test-features.mjs AND scripts.test.
• models-registry.json — minimal v0.1 stub with empty providers: {}, matching the 0-Enabled posture; populated by Phase audits as providers transition Candidate → Enabled.
• package.json — minimal: no main, no scripts.test, no scripts.start (those entries land alongside the real files in Phase 1).
• .gitignore, LICENSE (MIT), CHANGELOG.md — standard project boilerplate.

Provider posture at v0.1.0-bootstrap (per ALIGNMENT.md § Provider Inventory):

Tier	Anticipated providers	v0.1 default state
D (eligible-for-default-enabled)	Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, Mistral Vibe	Candidate (transition gate: authority pin + plugin + Phase audit)
C (opt-in)	xAI Grok, Moonshot Kimi	Candidate
B (opt-in + consent)	MiniMax, Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Qwen	Candidate
A (excluded by default; constitutional-amendment-only re-inclusion)	Google Antigravity	Excluded; pending primary-source pin

Total Enabled at v0.1.0-bootstrap: 0. Enablement is a Phase audit deliverable, not a bootstrap claim. This explicit zero is intentional and codified — a constitution that names providers as "default-enabled" while their CLI versions, output shapes, auth artifacts, and exit-code semantics are still TBD would violate Rules 1 (Cite First) and 3 (Match the Implementation).

Review history for this version:

1. Initial internal review (Claude Opus, fresh-context, Iron Rule 10). Verdict: APPROVE_WITH_MINOR — 2 minor items (alignment.yml heredoc indent breaking bash parse on failure path; AGENTS.md cross-reference to ADR 0003 imprecise). Both folded in before the founding commit.

2. External review #1 (OpenAI Codex CLI, no spec framing). Verdict: 6 substantive findings beyond internal review.

   • Provider Inventory split into Candidate vs Enabled (the v0.1 constitution had declared anthropic / openai / mistral as Tier D default-enabled while their Authority pins were still TBD at Phase N spawn — direct violation of Rule 1 / Rule 3 against the constitution's own text).
   • Antigravity Tier A downgraded to "evidence-backed, pending primary-source pin" (secondary reports disagree on blast radius; Google FAQ URL not yet primary-source-pinned).
   • ADR 0001 supersession scope narrowed (OLP rejects ADR 0005's "BYOK + no spawn" qualifiers, which originally applied to a commercial pivot; OLP is non-commercial and spawn-binary by design).
   • Anthropic post-2026-06-15 one-shot audit scheduled (annual May 14 audit would leave Anthropic re-eval ~year late after the split takes effect).
   • Tier A "permanent" language unified across docs (constitution and ADR 0006 had disagreed).
   • OpenAI Tier D wording softened ("maintainer signal indicates low risk; formal ToS pin pending" — Discussion #8338 is a posture statement, not a formal ToS blessing).

3. External review #2 (OpenAI Codex CLI, second pass after review #1 fold-in). Verdict: 6 additional substantive findings — the self-consistency trap recurred when fold-in of review #1 was scoped only to files codex explicitly named. Round #2 caught:

   • ADR 0002 still claimed "three default-enabled" while ALIGNMENT.md said zero Enabled — accepted ADR contradicting constitution.
   • release.yml would publish stale ## v0.1.0-bootstrap notes that ignored the "Unreleased" amendments — fixed by consolidating amendments into the v0.1.0-bootstrap section (this entry).
   • package.json advertised main / scripts.test / scripts.start for files that don't exist — npm test / npm start failed locally. Removed all three; will return in Phase 1 alongside the real files.
   • models-registry.json documented as SPOT but missing — minimal stub added.
   • alignment.yml commit-citation soft check had a Bash subshell trap (while in pipe loses WARN=1 mutation) — fixed via process substitution < <(...).
   • Tier A "permanent" wording still inconsistent across alignment.yml workflow text, ADR 0006 Consequences section, and the rest of the docs — unified throughout.

   All 6 round-#2 findings folded in this consolidated v0.1.0-bootstrap state.

Reviewer framing learning (recorded permanently in ~/.cc-rules/memory/learnings/ai_reviewer_self_consistency_trap.md): Internal AI reviewers framed on a shared source-of-truth miss bugs in the source-of-truth itself. The self-consistency trap recurred during the fold-in of round #1 — when an external reviewer surfaces findings, the fold-in must grep the entire repo for the same concept, not only edit the files the reviewer named. Round #2 caught what round #1's fold-in missed for exactly this reason. Both lessons updated in the cross-machine memory.

Iron Rule 10 status: Satisfied. Initial reviewer = internal opus (independent from drafters). Round #1 reviewer = external codex (independent from drafters and from internal opus). Round #2 reviewer = external codex (independent from the round #1 fold-in implementer). The maintainer's role across all three reviews was approver, not author. The drafting agents and fold-in agents were never the same as the reviewers for any of the three passes.

Next: Phase 1 lands server.mjs skeleton + IR + Anthropic provider plugin + cache D1+D4 port from OCP. At that point, package.json regains main + scripts.test + scripts.start, test-features.mjs lands, models-registry.json populates its first providers.anthropic entry, and Anthropic transitions Candidate → Enabled. Per spec §6 phase plan.
