feat(routing): vector stores, chromem backend, and the semantic embedding executor - #6164

📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe PR adds routing embedding execution, routing-debug metadata, embedding cost attribution, Chromem vector-store support, and vector-store compatibility updates. It also updates schema validation and backend-specific documentation. ChangesSemantic routing embeddings and billing

- Around line 366-377: Update ChromemStore.enumerateAll to return ErrNotFound
when GetCollection yields no collection, matching GetChunk and GetChunks;
preserve nil results for an existing empty collection. Remove any DeleteAll
branch that becomes unreachable because it handles a missing collection after
enumeration.

- Around line 743-750: Add a short-mode guard at the start of
TestRedisStore_CreateNamespaceRejectsDimensionChange, before calling
NewRedisTestSetup, matching the guard used by sibling integration tests so go
test -short exits without initializing Redis.

- Around line 82-88: Update the release notes to document the CreateNamespace
dimension-mismatch startup failure, replacing the semantic-cache warning that
incorrectly describes namespace creation as a no-op. State that operators must
rename vector_store_namespace or manually drop the existing Redis index when
dimensions differ.
In `@framework/vectorstore/store.go`:
- Line 19: Add Chromem support to transports/config.schema.json by adding
"chromem" to the top-level vector_store.type enum, defining a chromem_config
schema with optional path and compress properties, and referencing it from the
vector_store configuration while preserving the existing "embedded" semantic
mapping.
In `@plugins/governance/routingembedcost.go`:
- Around line 23-27: Publish updated core and framework module versions defining
BifrostRoutingDebug and CalculateRoutingEmbeddingCost before consuming them, or
add stack-local replacements for development. Update
plugins/governance/routingembedcost.go:23-27 to resolve those APIs and
framework/modelcatalog/pricing.go:72-73 to use the same available module
versions; do not leave consumers dependent on core v1.7.9 or framework v1.5.8.
In `@plugins/routing/embedding.go`:
- Around line 452-474: Update decodeEmbedding to reject empty decoded vectors
from every encoding, including the "[]" string form, by returning a non-nil
error when the converted result has zero length; preserve successful conversion
for non-empty vectors and let generateEmbeddings handle the rejection through

Summary
This PR introduces semantic complexity routing's embedding infrastructure: the ability to call an embedding provider during request classification, track the cost of those calls, and attribute that cost to the appropriate budget ledgers and telemetry. It also adds an embedded in-process vector store backend (chromem-go) and fixes several correctness bugs in the existing vector store backends.
Changes
BifrostRoutingDebugschema: New struct stamped ontoBifrostResponseExtraFields.RoutingDebugwhenever a semantic routing embedding ran. Carries provider, model, input token count, and acount_toward_budgetsflag so cost calculation can fold routing overhead into budget attribution without needing access to governance config.PrepareContextForInternalRequest: New helper incore/utils.gothat combinesBifrostContextKeySkipPluginPipelinewithClearContextForInternalRequest. Plugins use this instead of setting the reserved core key themselves, preventing recursion back through the plugin pipeline on sub-requests.Routing plugin embedding path (
plugins/routing/embedding.go): Full embedding call lifecycle for semantic complexity classification — executor wiring, timeout budgeting (warmup uses a 60s budget; hot-path classification uses the configured semantic timeout), usage recording on the request context, and stamping onto the response viaPostLLMHook. Warmup and request-classification embeds are kept strictly separate: warmup fires theWarmupEmbedUsageObserver, request classification records toroutingEmbedUsageContextKeyfor theRoutingDebugstamp. Token counts accumulate across fallback attempts rather than replacing, so every embed the provider billed is priced.RoutingEmbeddingCost/CalculateRoutingEmbeddingCost: New pricing functions inframework/modelcatalogand its datasheet layer.CalculateCostnow folds routing embedding cost into the request total whenCountTowardBudgetsis set. Telemetry can callCalculateRoutingEmbeddingCostunconditionally to report routing overhead regardless of the budget flag.AttributeRoutingEmbeddingCost(plugins/governance/routingembedcost.go): Bills warmup embedding cost to the admin-owned provider-level and global model-level budgets. No VK/team/customer budget is touched — there is no tenant to bill for warmup.Chromem vector store (
framework/vectorstore/chromem.go): Embedded, in-process vector store backed bychromem-go. Runs without an external service; supports memory-only and persistent-to-disk modes. Bridges chromem's lack of a document-enumeration API via exhaustiveQueryEmbeddingwith a probe vector. Metadata is JSON-encoded into chromem'smap[string]stringand decoded back to typed values on read. Full filter, pagination, and similarity-search support matching the other backends.boundedPageLimitutility: Replaces directuint32(limit)casts in the Qdrant and Pinecone backends. A caller-supplied limit aboveMaxUint32previously wrapped to an unrelated small page; an exact multiple of 2^32 wrapped to zero, which scrolled nothing while appearing to the cursor logic as a full page.Redis
vectorDimensionFromFTInfo: Replaces theFTInfotyped helper for dimension validation. The typed helper refused to decode under RESP3 withoutUnstableResp3, so the dimension mismatch guard silently never ran. The new function reads the raw reply across both RESP2 (flat key/value sequence) and RESP3 (map) shapes.Weaviate
isWeaviateNotFound:GetChunkandGetChunksnow wrap 404 client errors asErrNotFoundrather than surfacing them as generic failures, matching the behavior of the other backends.HTTP server wiring:
BootstrapandReloadPluginwire the routing plugin's embedding executor and vector store after the bifrost client is constructed, following the same pattern as the semantic cache plugin.Type of change
Affected areas
How to test
The chromem tests are self-contained (no external service required). The Redis dimension-guard test (
TestRedisStore_CreateNamespaceRejectsDimensionChange) requires a running Redis instance and will be skipped in short mode.To exercise the full routing embedding path end-to-end, configure a semantic complexity routing rule with a
semanticblock pointing at an embedding provider, enablecount_toward_budgets, and issue a chat completion request. The response'sextra_fields.routing_debugshould carry the provider, model, and input token count of the classification embed.Breaking changes
The
Governanceinterface inplugins/routing/main.gogainsAttributeRoutingEmbeddingCost. Any external implementation of that interface must add the method. TheBaseGovernancePlugininterface inplugins/governance/main.gogains the same method.Security considerations
The embedding sub-request is marked as an internal request (
PrepareContextForInternalRequest) so it cannot recurse back through the plugin pipeline. Provider-reported token counts are validated to be non-negative before reaching cost calculation or budget attribution to prevent a malicious or buggy provider from subtracting from billed usage.Checklist
