Summary

Replaces the Complexity Router's lexical keyword scorer with a semantic (embedding-based) classifier. Instead of matching weighted keyword lists across four tiers, Bifrost now embeds each incoming request and assigns it the tier of its nearest reference phrase across three tiers: Simple, Medium, and Complex. The Reasoning tier is retired and merged into Complex.

Changes

  • Semantic classifier: Classification now embeds the latest user message (or a configurable number of recent user messages) inline on the request path and compares against stored reference-phrase embeddings. The tier of the nearest phrase is published as complexity_tier. Classification runs lazily — only when a routing rule actually references complexity_tier.
  • Three-tier model: The four-tier model (Simple, Medium, Complex, Reasoning) is collapsed to three. Reasoning is merged into Complex. Legacy REASONING log rows remain queryable but are never emitted for new requests.
  • Reference phrases replace keyword lists: The keywords block now holds whole example prompts per tier (simple_keywords, medium_keywords, complex_keywords) rather than individual scoring keywords. 150 built-in default phrases (50 per tier) ship with the classifier. The old four-list shape (code_keywords, technical_keywords, reasoning_keywords, simple_keywords) remains accepted for backward compatibility and is mapped into the three-list shape on load.
  • semantic configuration block: A new semantic block configures the embedding provider, model, timeout, similarity floor (min_similarity), conversation history window (message_history_count), budget tracking, and phrase vector storage (embedded or vector_store).
  • Classifier warmup and status: Reference phrases are embedded in the background on configuration change. A new GET /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-status endpoint (and UI badge) reports disabled, warming, ready, or failed, with progress counters and a serving_previous flag so the last good generation keeps routing while a new one warms.
  • tier_boundaries deprecated: Numeric score thresholds are optional, ignored by semantic routing, and accepted only so existing configurations continue to load without error.
  • Chromem vector store: Added vectorStore.type: chromem support in Helm, with a vectorStore.chromem block (path, compress) for the embedded in-process vector store used by semantic complexity routing.
  • Observability: Request logs now include complexity_tier, complexity_mechanism (semantic or skipped), and complexity_score. These fields are also emitted as Prometheus labels and OpenTelemetry span attributes. Two new Prometheus counters track embedding call volume and cost: bifrost_routing_embedding_requests_total and bifrost_routing_embedding_cost_total. Datadog tags complexity_tier and complexity_mechanism are added. All log and histogram API endpoints accept complexity_tiers and complexity_mechanisms as comma-separated query filters.
  • OpenAPI schema: ComplexityAnalyzerConfig updated to reflect the new semantic block and three-list keywords shape. ComplexitySemanticConfig and ComplexitySemanticStatus schemas added. tier_boundaries and legacy keyword fields marked deprecated. GET /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-status endpoint added.
  • Helm values: bifrost.governance.complexityAnalyzerConfig updated with commented examples for the new semantic block and three-tier keyword lists. Legacy commented examples removed.
  • Documentation: Complexity Router feature page rewritten to describe semantic classification, reference phrase authoring guidance, classifier status and warmup, updated troubleshooting, and a migration guide from the retired lexical classifier. Routing rules and provider routing docs updated to reflect three tiers. Helm governance deployment guide updated.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • Feature
  • Refactor
  • Documentation
  • Chore/CI

Affected areas

  • Core (Go)
  • Transports (HTTP)
  • Providers/Integrations
  • Plugins
  • UI (React)
  • Docs

How to test

  1. Configure an embedding provider with an enabled key.
  2. Set complexityAnalyzerConfig with a semantic block (provider, model) and at least one phrase per tier in keywords.
  3. Check GET /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-status — wait for state: ready.
  4. Create a routing rule using complexity_tier == "COMPLEX" and send requests of varying complexity.
  5. Verify complexity_tier, complexity_mechanism, and complexity_score appear in request logs.
  6. Verify bifrost_routing_embedding_requests_total and bifrost_routing_embedding_cost_total increment in Prometheus.
  7. Confirm that requests sent without a complexity routing rule carry no complexity fields and incur no embedding calls.
  8. Upgrade an existing deployment with legacy tier_boundaries and four-list keywords — confirm startup succeeds and complexity_mechanism: skipped is recorded until a semantic block is configured.
curl http://localhost:8080/api/routing/complexity-analyzer-status
curl http://localhost:8080/api/routing/complexity-analyzer-config
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/logs?complexity_tiers=COMPLEX&complexity_mechanisms=semantic"

Breaking changes

  • Yes
  • No

The lexical scorer no longer runs. Existing deployments that relied on tier_boundaries and keyword-based scoring will see complexity_mechanism: skipped and no tier published until a semantic block is configured with an embedding provider and model. The REASONING tier is retired — routing rules matching complexity_tier == "REASONING" will never match on new requests and should be updated to complexity_tier == "COMPLEX". Legacy configurations parse and validate without error; no startup failures are introduced.

Related issues

Security considerations

The classifier status endpoint (GET /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-status) never returns phrases, embeddings, or provider secrets. Embedding calls are made inline to the configured provider using the existing key management path; no new credential surfaces are introduced.

Checklist

  • I read docs/contributing/README.md and followed the guidelines
  • I added/updated tests where appropriate
  • I updated documentation where needed
  • I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)
  • I verified the CI pipeline passes locally if applicable

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 756e8

The PR changes semantic complexity-routing configuration and documentation but leaves API schemas accepting invalid timeout, similarity, history-window, and overlong phrase values, while several user-facing references remain incomplete. This can cause clients or deployments to accept configurations that later fail validation; merge should wait for schema and documentation parity fixes.

The timeout pattern rejects compound Go durations.

Encode the 2000-character phrase limit in the schema.

The description states each phrase is limited to 2000 characters. The items schema does not express that limit. Generated clients and request validators will accept longer phrases and fail at the server.

Add maxLength to the items schema of each tier list. Apply the change in the shared source schema so all inlined copies stay in sync.

Enforce the documented reference-phrase limit.

The description states that each phrase is limited to 2000 characters. The three items schemas accept strings of any length. Add maxLength: 2000 to each list item schema so generated clients and schema validation reject invalid configurations.

Add complexity_tier to the available-variable list.

This page states that it lists the available CEL variables. Its earlier list omits complexity_tier, although this line introduces it. Add the variable, its three values, and its unavailable-classification behavior to that list.

Comment on lines +301 to +327
| Field | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `complexity_tier` | `SIMPLE`, `MEDIUM`, `COMPLEX` | The tier the request was classified into |
| `complexity_mechanism` | `semantic`, `skipped` | How the tier was produced. `semantic` means an embedding match produced the tier; `skipped` means a rule demanded a tier but classification produced none (classifier not configured or not ready, unsupported input, embedding failure/timeout, or a match below `min_similarity`) |
| `complexity_score` | 0.0 – 1.0 | The similarity score of the nearest reference phrase |

You will see log lines like `Complexity: tier=REASONING score=0.38 words=25`. If no configured complexity signal matches the latest user message, the routing log records that complexity analysis was skipped and routing continues on the existing path. This lets you audit how traffic is being distributed and spot mis-classifications to tune thresholds or keyword lists.
The routing decision logs also record the matched reference phrase alongside the tier and similarity, so you can tell a genuine match from an accidental one. Long phrases are truncated to 120 characters in the log line.

For example, a successful match is recorded as:

```text
Semantic complexity: tier=MEDIUM similarity=0.62 matched="produce a customer-facing incident summary from an already established cause and remediation."
```

These fields are only set when a routing rule actually referenced `complexity_tier`; requests that never touched a complexity rule carry no complexity fields.

### In the log explorer

The log detail view shows **Complexity Tier** (as a colored badge), **Complexity Mechanism**, and **Complexity Score** in the request overview. The logs filter sidebar can filter by **Complexity Tier** and **Complexity Mechanism**, so you can audit how traffic is being distributed and spot mis-classifications to tune your phrase lists or similarity floor. The same filters are available on the logs API as comma-separated query parameters:

```bash
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/logs?complexity_tiers=COMPLEX&complexity_mechanisms=semantic"
```

<Note>
The raw `complexity_score` is displayed but not filterable; tier and mechanism are the supported filter dimensions. The mechanism filter offers `semantic` and `skipped`. Legacy `REASONING` tiers remain available in the logs filter.
