WalkthroughThe change adds a separate upstream model identifier to client configuration. Requests use this identifier for upstream calls, while routing continues to use the configured model name. Server targets can override the upstream model and default to their routing ID. ChangesModel routing and upstream model mapping
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change separates routing IDs from upstream model names, but the current implementation may break existing downstream callers, report requests and errors under the wrong target identity, and allow invalid upstream model configuration to reach providers. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Poem

Preserve the published constructor API.
switchyard-llm-client 0.2.0 is already published, so changing ModelConfig::new from three to four parameters breaks existing downstream callers. Keep the three-parameter constructor and add a remapping constructor or builder, or release this change as 0.3.0.

Validate upstream_model before client construction.
target.id is validated during ServerConfig::build, but target.upstream_model is not. An empty or whitespace-only configured upstream model can reach the provider request.
When upstream_model is present, validate it with validate_value during the target-validation loop. Add a configuration test for invalid values.

Thanks @al157 ! Nice and concise PR. We do need to do something here. We have too many IDs. Some are unique and some are not, and we sometimes use non-unique ones as if they were unique. This PR adds two more IDs so I think it's not what we want to do. I'm going to close it, but thanks for prompting us to rethink this. |

feat(server): decouple upstream model name from target id via
upstream_modelProblem
A target's
idcurrently serves two roles at once:This makes it impossible to configure the same model served by multiple providers
(e.g.
deepseek-v4-flashfrom DeepSeek official and from an aggregator). BecauseRandom::newdeduplicates targets by model id (rand.rs:52-55) and the client keysits models by id, identical ids collide:
Users who want multi-supplier redundancy for one model — a core reliability use case —
currently cannot express it in the config surface.
Solution
Introduce an explicit, optional
upstream_modelfield that separates the two concerns:id(e.g.deepseek-v4-flash@sensenova) — routing,fallback exclusion, error reporting, stats, and response restamping are untouched.
upstream_modelwhen set (e.g.deepseek-v4-flash), fallingback to
idso every existing single-supplier setup is unaffected.Changes (4 files, +82/−11)
src/config.rsTargetConfiggains#[serde(default)] upstream_model: Option<ModelId>; registration passes key =id, wire =upstream_model.unwrap_or(id)src/client.rsModelConfiggains awire_modelfield (4th ctor arg). Lookup remains keyed bymodel_name;call_rewrite_modelandcount_tokensnow writewire_modelinto the upstream requestsrc/client.rstestswire_model_remaps_the_upstream_nametest (wiremock asserts the upstream receives the bare model name); existing ctor call sites updatedrun.rs,tests/server.rslibsyis unchanged: algorithms only ever see the routingModelId.Example
Requests to
poolnow spread across providers, each receiving the correct bare modelid on the wire.
Verification
cargo check -p switchyard-server -p switchyard-llm-client: 0 errorscargo test -p switchyard-server -p switchyard-llm-client: 153 passed / 0 failed(includes the new remap test)
cargo fmt --check: clean;cargo clippy: no warningsdistributed across ≥3 distinct supplier instances, each upstream receiving the bare
model name; zeroing one instance's weight redirects all traffic with no errors
Compatibility
Configs without
upstream_modelbehave identically (wire name falls back toid);all pre-existing tests pass unchanged apart from the added constructor argument.
