One compatibility point I want to call out clearly before this merges: this PR makes the Rust This change is permanent; #464 does not restore struct-literal construction. It is not a break from a tagged Switchyard release because Custom libsy hosts should also replace manual model rewriting with The intermediate state after this PR is still usable: the native server and existing Stage prompt configuration continue to work. #464 adds the native |

Tracking issue: #496 |
WalkthroughRouting now prepares requests per target model. Target-specific prompts apply to answer calls and selected outcomes, while fallback and classifier calls use their own requests. Rust and Python APIs expose this behavior, with tests covering prompt isolation and replay preservation. ChangesTarget-specific request routing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Fallback requests may reach the wrong model when the fallback target has no prompt, so merge should wait for this request-construction bug to be fixed or explicitly accepted. The remaining documentation follow-up is non-blocking. Poem

Do not replay the preserved body for an unprompted fallback.
The encoder returns it verbatim, so the "bare" fallback sends the original "auto" model. Clear or update the preserved body when the fallback model changes, and assert the encoded model in the test.

Summary
Moves target-prompt policy into libsy, where the routing decision and ordered fallback candidates are known.
This is 2 of 3 for SWITCH-1253. It builds on #455, which provides the provider-safe request operation.
Before
A direct libsy host received a
RoutingOutcomeand prepared fallbacks itself, commonly by copying the published request and replacing the model:That works while every candidate receives the same request. It cannot safely select a different prompt per candidate, and preparing the first candidate too early would make a fallback inherit the first target's prompt.
Routing-time calls had the same split: libsy could ask a host to call a model, but the host had no candidate-aware request operation.
After
The host asks libsy to prepare the candidate it is about to call:
For routing-time calls, the same contract is available on
CallModel:The built-in Rust client uses the corresponding Rust methods. For fallback, libsy starts from the request before a target prompt was applied, stamps the new model, and applies only the new target's prompt. Custom Rust, Python, Relay, and other hosts no longer need to reproduce this policy.
What changes
with_target_prompts(...)policy in libsy.RoutingOutcome::request_for(...)andCallModel::request_for(...), with Python bindings for both.switchyard-llm-clientand the direct Python libsy host example/test path.Ownership and async behavior
Arc; requests do not copy the map per call.request_for(...)is called.await.API compatibility
The Python changes and the
CallModelmethods are additive.RoutingOutcomeitself landed onmainafter the last tagged release. This PR adds private preparation state and marks the struct#[non_exhaustive], so code tracking unreleasedmainthat constructs it with a struct literal or destructures every field will need to use its constructors/public fields instead.RoutingOutcome::route_to(...),RoutingOutcome::answered(...), field reads, and existing tagged APIs remain available.Not in this PR
