feat(libsy): expose routing metadata from state.extra to Python

[yanaSelin]

Summary

Exposes internal routing decision signals from Rust algorithm state to Python callers via PyDecision. Previously, the only way to read routing signals from Python was to parse the reasoning string. Now every Decision step carries a typed metadata snapshot that Python can query by key.

Python contract

Decision (exposed as switchyard.libsy.Decision) gains two new methods:

decision.get(key: str) -> float | None
decision.get_str(key: str) -> str | None

get returns a scalar (f32) value or None if the key is absent or holds a non-scalar value.
get_str returns a string value or None if the key is absent or holds a non-string value.

Keys written by StageClassifier (tool-signal path)

Present when the algorithm ran StageClassifier (i.e. there were tool signals to score). Absent when the session has no tool calls yet.

Key	Type	Description
signal_severity	float	Severity dimension of the tool signal
signal_spinning	float	Spinning/stuck dimension
signal_exploring	float	Exploration dimension
signal_production_intensity	float	Production-intensity dimension
signal_score	float	Composite score (score_signal().score)
signal_confidence	float	abs(score) — confidence in the direction

All six are written before the Resolved / ConsultClassifier branch, so they are present regardless of which path was taken (including the below-threshold fallback that sets confidence to 0).

Keys written by TaskClassifierPolicy (LLM judge path)

Present only when the judge ran and returned a verdict. Absent if the judge timed out, errored, or was not configured.

Key	Type	Description
judge_p_solve	float	Model's estimated probability of solving the task
judge_crux	str	One-line description of the task's core difficulty
judge_primary_rule	str	Primary routing rule that applied
judge_capability_boundary	str	Capability boundary the task sits at

Example usage

async for step in stream:
    if isinstance(step, Decision):
        severity   = step.get("signal_severity")    # float | None
        confidence = step.get("signal_confidence")  # float | None
        p_solve    = step.get("judge_p_solve")       # float | None
        crux       = step.get_str("judge_crux")      # str   | None

Implementation

• New WithExtra trait on state.rs — lets FallThrough<S> snapshot extra without losing genericity; () returns an empty map for stateless compositions
• Step::Decision changed from a tuple variant to a struct variant carrying extra: HashMap<String, StateValue>
• Driver::decide() takes the snapshot as a second argument
• StageClassifier::score() writes signal fields before the match outcome so both Resolved and ConsultClassifier branches capture them
• JudgePolicy gains a default no-op record_to_state; TaskClassifierPolicy overrides it to write the judge fields
• PyDecision in switchyard-py carries the snapshot and exposes get / get_str via #[pymethods]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Routing decisions now preserve metadata collected during classification and execution.
  • Python integrations can retrieve decision metadata as numeric or text values.
  • Classifier results now record signals, confidence, and validated judge details for downstream inspection.

• Improvements

  • Decision tracing consistently retains associated metadata across execution paths.
  • Routing components now provide standardized metadata snapshots, including when no additional data is available.

Walkthrough

The change adds metadata snapshots to routing decisions, records classifier signals in state, updates routing callers for the new API, and exposes decision metadata through Python bindings. Tests now use the expanded Driver::decide and Step::Decision interfaces.

Changes

Decision metadata flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Decision and state metadata contracts crates/libsy/src/core/state.rs, crates/libsy/src/core/algorithm.rs, crates/libsy/src/lib.rs	Adds WithExtra and carries HashMap<String, StateValue> metadata in Driver::decide and Step::Decision.
Classifier signal recording crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/llm_judge.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/stage.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/llm_class.rs	Stores stage signals and judge verdict fields in classifier state before classification outcomes are handled.
Routing metadata integration crates/libsy/src/algorithms/fall_through.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/advisor_gate.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/noop.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/passthrough.rs	Passes state-derived metadata or empty maps to decision publication and updates related state bounds and test helpers.
Binding and observability updates crates/switchyard-py/src/libsy_bindings.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/tests/observability.rs	Preserves decision metadata in PyDecision, adds scalar and string accessors, and updates observability tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97c58

The PR adds metadata accessors to Python Decision objects, but the checked-in type declarations do not expose those methods, so static users may see an incomplete API until the declarations are updated. This is a bounded follow-up risk and does not indicate a runtime merge blocker.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with metadata bright,
Carrying signals through day and night.
Decisions now hold extras in their nest,
Python can fetch them at its request.
Tests hop along, all aligned and blessed.

Update the type declarations for Decision.

The tracked switchyard_rust/libsy.py module has no generation step and omits get and get_str. Add both method signatures so type checkers and IDEs expose the new API.

565-576: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Both sites write new string-keyed entries into state.extra that the new Python Decision.get()/get_str() accessors read by exact key name. Neither site has a test asserting the key names or the values written. A typo or key rename in either file would silently make Decision.get()/get_str() return None to Python callers, with no compiler error to catch it.
