feat: add local Laya classification backend

[robertn702]

Summary

• add @receptron/laya as an optional local ONNX classification backend while keeping hosted TypeSafe/Jev as the default
• add explicit backend selection for the OpenCode plugin and standalone proxy, with lazy shared model loading and close() lifecycle handling
• map Laya choice, score, and noul typed answers onto each model profile's supported effort levels
• preserve request rewriting, previous/fixed/error fallback policy, cancellation behavior, and metadata-only JevDecision logging
• document the first-run ~1.7 GB model download, cache controls, and roughly 2 GB loaded-model memory requirement

Privacy

With classifierBackend: "laya" (or JEV_ROUTER_CLASSIFIER_BACKEND=laya), the bounded conversation state is passed only to the in-process Laya model. The local path does not construct or call the TypeSafe/Jev client. The full model request continues to go only to the configured wrapped/upstream model endpoint.

Verification

• npm run check — 20 files / 240 Vitest tests plus 5 Node eval tests passed
• npm run smoke:package — passed with production dependencies only
• npm run smoke:plugin:v2 — passed against OpenCode 2.0.18
• npm run build — passed
• npm audit --omit=dev — 0 vulnerabilities
• regression sabotage: forcing Laya answer mapping to return invalid output made 3 new tests fail; restoring the implementation made them pass
• real @receptron/laya 0.1.2 smoke: downloaded and loaded the cached ONNX bundle, completed one systemOne score classification, and closed cleanly
• real routed proxy smoke: createAppServer() with the cached Laya model forwarded one gpt-6-astra request to a local fake upstream, returned HTTP 200, recorded a completed decision with fallback: null, and inserted a medium configuration update

Notes

• Laya's current API does not expose per-inference abort. On timeout or client cancellation, the router ignores a late result and never starts duplicate upstream generation; an inference already running may finish in the background, and model shutdown waits for it before releasing the session.
• Requests that expire or disconnect during lazy model loading never start a stale inference once loading completes. Transient load failures are retried on a later request.
• Existing decision/fallback field names remain Jev-prefixed for compatibility.

Closes #75

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds local Laya classification as an alternative to hosted Jev, which remains the default. Configuration, CLI and plugin runtime paths, fallback behavior, and documentation now support backend selection and Laya’s model and cache settings.

Changes

Classifier backend selection and configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Backend selection and configuration src/config.ts, src/classifier-backend.ts, package.json, test/environment.test.ts, test/classifier-backend.test.ts, .env.example, docs/environment.md, examples/opencode.jsonc	Configuration accepts jev or laya, defaults to jev, and includes optional Laya model and cache directories. The backend factory constructs the selected classifier. The Laya package is optional. Examples and tests cover backend selection and settings.
Laya inference and fallback src/laya.ts, test/laya.test.ts, docs/classification-policy.md, docs/behavior.md, CHANGELOG.md, README.md	Laya maps model answers to supported effort levels and handles lazy loading, inference, timeout, cancellation, fallback, caching, and closure. Tests cover mapping and classifier outcomes. Documentation describes retry and fallback behavior, readiness checks, and Laya’s resource requirements.
CLI and plugin integration src/index.ts, src/plugin-runtime.ts, test/plugin-laya.test.ts, README.md	The CLI and plugin runtime create the selected classifier and pass Laya settings. Shutdown and disposal close the classifier. Tests cover plugin selection, request classification, and closure. README examples describe Laya setup and standalone proxy configuration.

Loading

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e67f

A transient model-download failure can leave local classification using fallback until restart. Cleanup failures can also escape shutdown handling. Fix load recovery and contain cleanup errors before merging; hosted Jev remains the default.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e67f

Local classification reduces hosted data sharing, but cancelled or timed-out requests can leave expensive work running after request capacity is released. Repeated requests may therefore affect other users sharing the process. The feature is opt-in, and existing validation and request limits remain in place.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Local inference lifetime is not contained by request admission or cancellation. A valid request can initiate or await shared model loading, then time out or cancel and release request capacity while its underlying work remains pending. After loading, even an already-settled request can start inference. Repetition can accumulate work affecting every caller sharing the process, and shutdown can close the instance without adapter-level inference draining. Actual exhaustion and close safety depend on unverified dependency guarantees.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified availability exposure requires local classification to be enabled and a caller able to submit valid routed requests. Its independently affected scope is the owning process and all credential contexts sharing its model/resources. The CLI's loopback listener limits direct network reachability; exposure through deployment forwarding or other hosts was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A caller can submit valid requests and cancel after classification starts. Cancellation settles the selector and releases request capacity, but does not retire pending loading/inference. Repetition can leave more work outstanding than maxInFlight implies, including inference launched after cancelled requests finish waiting for loading. This is an inferred denial-of-service path, not a verified exhaustion result; dependency scheduling remains unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The inspected selection boundary prevents local mode from constructing the hosted classifier. Request data reaches the local dependency through provider-normalized state, while model/cache paths remain operator-controlled. This supports the application-level privacy routing claim, but does not independently verify the dependency's network behavior, model provenance, or cache protections.
• observed — Late results cannot replace a settled fallback or update its previous-effort cache: cache writes occur only after a timely successful race result. Cancellation is distinct from fallback, and the router checks the request signal before preparing an upstream request. These controls protect decision ordering but do not bound abandoned local work.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Plugin disposal stops new starts, aborts request controllers, releases exchanges, and invokes classifier closure. CLI shutdown drains HTTP connections before awaiting closure. Neither path establishes adapter-level draining of underlying local inference; whether closing during inference is safe remains a dependency-contract gap.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Give local work a bounded admission budget independent of request lifetime, retain permits until actual inference settles, and recheck cancellation after loading before launching inference. Coordinate terminal closure with that work ledger and verify the dependency's concurrency/close contract so disposal cannot overlap unsupported operations.

Explanation

Issue #75 requirements are implemented for backend selection, Jev defaulting, typed-answer mapping, fallback and lifecycle handling, documentation, mocked mapping/error/timeout/cancellation/concurrency tests, and reported real-model smoke coverage. The supplied test summary does not show an automated test that verifies local mode sends conversation excerpts only to Laya and does not construct or call TypeSafe/Jev. The PR description reports this behavior, but it does not establish the requested test coverage.

23-34: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise local selection before checking shutdown.

The local-mode test does not call backend.select, so it does not detect a regression where createClassifierBackend constructs or routes through the hosted Jev classifier only when selection occurs. The plugin test covers the full load-and-close path, but it does not replace this factory-boundary assertion.

Call backend.select with a representative request, then assert that the local classifier handles it and that createJev remains unused. Keep the close assertion only if this test is intended to cover the backend lifecycle; otherwise leave lifecycle coverage to test/plugin-laya.test.ts.

inference flow so a rejected options.load or defaultLoad promise clears loaded,
allowing later requests to retry. Preserve caching for successful loads and
avoid clearing a newer promise; update the initialization-failure test to verify
a second select retries loading.

- Line 221: Handle rejected classifier cleanup promises in both `dispose()` in
`plugin-runtime.ts` and the shutdown fulfillment callback in `src/index.ts`.
Prevent `classifier?.close()` in `dispose()` from becoming an unhandled
rejection, and catch failures from `classifier.close()` during shutdown, logging
shutdown failure and setting a nonzero exit code while preserving the success
log on successful closure.
