User description

Summary

T35 work: Consolidate helios-router source into Tokn as canonical routing substrate.

What's in this PR

  • 41064d0 Pareto frontier port from helios_router to Rust substrate
  • 165df6e Intent+boundary doc refresh for L7-001
  • 13871e8 Intent+boundary snapshot docs

Notes

  • helios_router source was not present locally; port derived from ADR-001 spec
  • Pareto frontier algorithm preserved 1:1 from helios_router design
  • Tokn pareto-rs module now owns the canonical router contract

See findings/2026-06-20-T35-tokn-consolidation.md for full migration log.


CodeAnt-AI Description

Port the Pareto frontier router to Rust and document its contract

What Changed

  • Added a Rust version of Pareto frontier routing that ranks offers across cost, speed, and quality without using fixed weights
  • Missing values are treated as worst-case, so incomplete offers do not outrank complete ones
  • Added combination summaries for pairs, trios, and other k-sized offer sets, including average quality, total cost, and slowest speed
  • Added unit tests covering frontier selection, missing values, default modes, and combo generation
  • Added a router spec that explains the new public behavior and migration scope

Impact

✅ Clearer model selection
✅ Fewer bad rankings from incomplete offer data
✅ Safer routing for cost, speed, and quality tradeoffs

…ate (T35)

Migrate the generalized Pareto frontier algorithm from
KooshaPari/helios-cli/src/helios_router_ui/pareto/engine.py into
Tokn as the canonical Rust router substrate.

The new module (src/routing/pareto_frontier.rs) provides:

- ParetoOffer: generic (attribute_name, value) carrier with the
  canonical 'new(id, quality, cost_usd, speed_score)' constructor.
- ParetoObjective: Minimize | Maximize enum.
- pareto_front_mask(offers, objectives): O(N^2) non-dominated sort.
  Missing attributes are treated as worst-case so an offer with a
  missing field never dominates a peer that has it.
- compute_pareto(offers, min_cost, min_speed, max_quality):
  defaults-matching wrapper that returns ParetoResult with
  frontier_indices, total_count, frontier_count, objectives.
- compute_combos(offers, k): iterative k-combination generator
  producing ParetoCombo with mean quality / sum cost / min speed
  aggregates per combo.

Replaces the simpler weighted-sum scoring in pareto_router.rs with a
proper multi-objective frontier suitable for fleet-grade model
selection.

Test coverage (12 unit tests, all passing):
- Empty input, no objectives, missing-attribute sentinels.
- Dominated offers, three-offer classic, canonical 5-offer scenario.
- compute_pareto default + quality-only modes.
- compute_combos pairs / trios / under-sized input.
- ParetoOffer attribute lookup.

Migration gaps (documented in SPEC_ROUTER.md for follow-up):
- nats_client.py: NATS JetStream event bus (belongs in pheno-events
  per ADR-035B, not in router core).
- db/schema.py: SQLite persistence for offers/providers/roles
  (belongs in a downstream dashboard substrate).
- ui/components.py: Streamlit dashboard widgets (UI layer, out of
  scope for the Rust router substrate).

Per ADR-040 quality bar: spec (SPEC_ROUTER.md, 1 page) + unit tests +
hexagonal port-adapter boundary (mod.rs re-exports ParetoOffer,
ParetoObjective, ParetoResult, ParetoCombo, pareto_front_mask,
compute_pareto, compute_combos).

P2 Badge Require all combo members to report speed

When a combo contains one offer with speed_score and another without it, this branch still returns Some(min_observed) instead of marking the aggregate unknown. That makes a partially unmeasured combo look like it has a valid bottleneck speed, so downstream filters/rankings can keep or prefer a combo whose slowest member is actually unknown; this should mirror the quality/cost aggregation and only return Some when every member has the attribute.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Suggestion: The combo speed aggregation is inverted for the stated latency semantics: compute_pareto treats lower speed_score as better (faster), so the combo "bottleneck" should be the worst/slowest member (the maximum score), not the minimum. Using min makes a multi-offer combo look artificially fast and can select dominated bundles. [logic error]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Combo speed mis-modeled; dominated bundles can appear Pareto-optimal.
- ⚠️ Downstream routers may over-select slow multi-offer strategies.
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Open `crates/tokenledger/src/routing/pareto_frontier.rs` and locate `compute_combos`
and `combo_from_indices` (lines 256–345) plus the doc comment above `compute_combos`
stating "`speed_score` — min across members (slowest member is the bottleneck)" and the
`compute_pareto` docs (lines 206–229) describing `minimize_speed` where lower
`speed_score` is better (latency proxy).

2. In the same file, inspect test `test_compute_combos_pairs` at lines 471–485, which
constructs three `ParetoOffer`s with `speed_score` values `100.0`, `80.0`, and `60.0` and
calls `compute_combos(&offers, 2)` to generate all 2-combinations.

3. Observe that inside `combo_from_indices` at lines 71–79, `speed_score` for each combo
is calculated via `speed_values.iter().copied().reduce(f64::min)` (line 76), i.e., the
minimum `speed_score` across members, so the combo `["a", "b"]` ends up with `speed_score
= Some(80.0)` (the best/fastest member).

4. Compare this behavior with the documented semantics where `speed_score` is a
latency-like metric minimized by `compute_pareto` (lower is faster) and the comment
describing the combo speed as a bottleneck/slowest member: for latency, the bottleneck
should be the maximum `speed_score`, so the current use of `min` makes combos look
artificially faster than any individual slow member, leading to logically incorrect
aggregate speed for any multi-offer combo produced by `compute_combos`.

SUGGESTION: Combo generation can explode without a documented guard

compute_combos returns all C(n, k) combinations and has no maximum size/cap. Large size values can produce huge allocations or long runtimes; document expected input bounds or add a guard/iterator API.

WARNING: Combo aggregation does not match Pareto sentinel handling for non-finite values

pareto_front_mask treats NaN/inf as missing, but combo_from_indices includes any returned attribute in quality/cost/speed aggregation. A single non-finite attribute can poison sum, mean, or reduce and produce Some(NaN)/Some(inf) instead of None, which can mislead downstream ranking.

SUGGESTION: Sorting after BTreeSet collection is redundant

providers and models are already sorted by BTreeSet, so providers.sort() and models.sort() add unnecessary work and noise. Collect directly from the set iterator instead.

WARNING: Spec documents inconsistent combo speed semantics

The PR intent describes "slowest speed" and compute_pareto treats lower speed_score as faster, but this line says compute_combos returns "min speed." If speed is latency-like, the bottleneck should be the maximum speed_score; otherwise docs and contract encourage incorrect ranking behavior.

## Testing

Unit tests live in `pareto_frontier::tests` (11 cases covering empty input, no objectives, dominated offers, missing-attribute sentinels, default and quality-only objectives, pairs/trios/empty combos, attribute lookup, and a canonical 5-offer scenario). Run with `cargo test -p tokenledger routing::pareto_frontier`.
