-# Configuration Recipes
-
-This directory contains versioned, curated configuration presets ("recipes") optimized for different objectives. Each recipe tunes classification thresholds, reasoning modes, caching strategies, security policies, and observability settings to achieve specific performance goals.
-
-## Available Recipes
-
-### 1. Accuracy-Optimized (`config.recipe-accuracy.yaml`)
-
-**Objective:** Maximum accuracy and response quality
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- Research and academic applications
-- Critical decision-making systems
-- High-stakes business applications
-- Medical or legal information systems
-- Applications where correctness is paramount
-
-**Key Characteristics:**
-
-- ✅ Reasoning enabled for most complex categories
-- ✅ High reasoning effort level (`high`)
-- ✅ Strict classification thresholds (0.7)
-- ✅ Semantic cache disabled for fresh responses
-- ✅ Comprehensive tool selection (top_k: 5)
-- ✅ Strict PII detection (threshold: 0.6)
-- ✅ Jailbreak protection enabled
-- ✅ Full tracing enabled (100% sampling)
-
-**Trade-offs:**
-
-- ⚠️ Higher token usage (~2-3x vs baseline)
-- ⚠️ Increased latency (~1.5-2x vs baseline)
-- ⚠️ Higher computational costs
-- ⚠️ No caching means repeated queries aren't optimized
-
-**Performance Metrics:**
-
-```
-Expected latency: 2-5 seconds per request
-Token usage: High (reasoning overhead)
-Throughput: ~10-20 requests/second
-Cost: High (maximum quality)
-```
-
----
-
-### 2. Token Efficiency-Optimized (`config.recipe-token-efficiency.yaml`)
-
-**Objective:** Minimize token usage and reduce operational costs
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- High-volume production deployments
-- Cost-sensitive applications
-- Budget-constrained projects
-- Applications with tight token budgets
-- Bulk processing workloads
-
-**Key Characteristics:**
-
-- ✅ Reasoning disabled for most categories
-- ✅ Low reasoning effort when needed (`low`)
-- ✅ Aggressive semantic caching (0.75 threshold, 2hr TTL)
-- ✅ Lower classification thresholds (0.5)
-- ✅ Minimal tool selection (top_k: 1)
-- ✅ Relaxed PII policies
-- ✅ Large batch sizes (100)
-- ✅ Reduced observability (10% sampling)
-
-**Trade-offs:**
-
-- ⚠️ May sacrifice some accuracy (~5-10%)
-- ⚠️ Cache hits depend on query patterns
-- ⚠️ Less comprehensive tool coverage
-- ⚠️ Relaxed security policies
-
-**Performance Metrics:**
-
-```
-Expected latency: 0.5-2 seconds per request
-Token usage: Low (~50-60% of baseline)
-Throughput: ~50-100 requests/second
-Cost: Low (optimized for budget)
-Cache hit rate: 40-60% (typical)
-```
-
-**Cost Savings:**
-
-- ~40-50% token reduction vs baseline
-- ~50-70% cost reduction with effective caching
-
----
-
-### 3. Latency-Optimized (`config.recipe-latency.yaml`)
-
-**Objective:** Minimize response time and maximize throughput
-
-**Use Cases:**
-
-- Real-time APIs
-- Interactive chatbots
-- Live customer support systems
-- Gaming or entertainment applications
-- Applications requiring sub-second responses
-
-**Key Characteristics:**
-
-- ✅ Reasoning disabled for all categories
-- ✅ Aggressive semantic caching (0.7 threshold, 3hr TTL)
-- ✅ Very low classification thresholds (0.4)
-- ✅ Tools disabled for minimal overhead
-- ✅ Security checks relaxed/disabled
-- ✅ Maximum concurrency (32)
-- ✅ Minimal observability overhead (5% sampling)
-- ✅ Tracing disabled by default
-
-**Trade-offs:**
-
-- ⚠️ Reduced accuracy (~10-15% vs baseline)
-- ⚠️ No reasoning means simpler responses
-- ⚠️ Security features minimal/disabled
-- ⚠️ Less comprehensive responses
-
-**Performance Metrics:**
-
-```
-Expected latency: 0.1-0.8 seconds per request
-Token usage: Low (~50-60% of baseline)
-Throughput: ~100-200 requests/second
-Cost: Low (fast and efficient)
-Cache hit rate: 50-70% (typical)
-```
-
-**Speed Improvements:**
-
-- ~3-5x faster than accuracy-optimized
-- ~2-3x faster than baseline

-   # Example: Enable caching in accuracy recipe
-   semantic_cache:
-     enabled: true  # Was: false
-     similarity_threshold: 0.90  # High threshold
-   ```
-
-3. Test your custom configuration:
-
-   ```bash
-   # Validate YAML syntax
-   python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('config/config.custom.yaml'))"
-
-   # Test with your custom config
-   export CONFIG_FILE=config/config.custom.yaml
-   make run-router
-   ```

-## Tuning and Optimization
-
-### Monitoring Your Recipe
-
-After deploying a recipe, monitor these key metrics:
-
-**1. Accuracy Recipe Metrics:**
-
-```bash
-# Check reasoning usage
-curl localhost:9190/metrics | grep reasoning
-
-# Monitor response quality (manual review)
-# Check for comprehensive, detailed answers
-```
-
-**2. Token Efficiency Recipe Metrics:**
-
-```bash
-# Check cache hit rate
-curl localhost:9190/metrics | grep cache_hit
-
-# Monitor token usage
-curl localhost:9190/metrics | grep token_count
-
-# Expected cache hit rate: 40-60%
-# Expected token reduction: 40-50%
-```
-
-**3. Latency Recipe Metrics:**
-
-```bash
-# Check p50, p95, p99 latencies
-curl localhost:9190/metrics | grep duration_seconds
-
-# Expected p95: < 1 second
-# Expected p99: < 2 seconds
-```
-
-### Fine-Tuning Parameters
-
-#### To Improve Cache Hit Rate:
-
-```yaml
-semantic_cache:
-  similarity_threshold: 0.70  # Lower = more hits (was 0.75)
-  ttl_seconds: 14400          # Longer TTL (was 7200)
-  max_entries: 20000          # Larger cache (was 10000)
-```
-
-#### To Reduce Latency Further:
-
-```yaml
-classifier:
-  category_model:
-    threshold: 0.3  # Even lower threshold (was 0.4)
-
-api:
-  batch_classification:
-    max_concurrency: 64  # More parallel processing (was 32)
-```
-
-#### To Balance Accuracy and Cost:
-
-```yaml
-# Enable reasoning for select categories only
-categories:
-  - name: math
-    model_scores:
-      - model: openai/gpt-oss-20b
-        use_reasoning: true  # Enable for critical tasks
-  - name: other
-    model_scores:
-      - model: openai/gpt-oss-20b
-        use_reasoning: false  # Disable for simple tasks
-```
-
----
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Start with a Recipe
-
-Don't start from scratch. Choose the recipe closest to your needs and customize from there.
-
-### 2. A/B Testing
-
-Run two configurations side-by-side and compare metrics:
-
-```bash
-# Terminal 1: Accuracy recipe on port 8801
-export CONFIG_FILE=config/config.recipe-accuracy.yaml
-make run-router
-
-# Terminal 2: Latency recipe on port 8802
-export CONFIG_FILE=config/config.recipe-latency.yaml
-export PORT=8802
-make run-router
-
-# Compare metrics
-watch -n 5 'curl -s localhost:9190/metrics | grep duration_seconds_sum'
-```
-
-### 3. Monitor and Iterate
-
-- Track metrics for at least 24-48 hours before making changes
-- Adjust one parameter at a time
-- Document changes and their impact
-
-### 4. Environment-Specific Configs
-
-Use different recipes for different environments:
-
-```bash
-# Development: Use latency recipe for fast iteration
-config/config.recipe-latency.yaml → config/config.dev.yaml
-
-# Staging: Use accuracy recipe for testing
-config/config.recipe-accuracy.yaml → config/config.staging.yaml
-
-# Production: Use token efficiency for cost control
-config/config.recipe-token-efficiency.yaml → config/config.prod.yaml
-```
-
-### 5. Version Control Your Configs
-
-```bash
-# Track your custom configurations
-git add config/config.custom-*.yaml
-git commit -m "feat: add custom config for production deployment"
-```
-
----
-
-## Advanced: Hybrid Configurations
-
-You can mix and match settings from different recipes:
-
-### Example: High-Accuracy, Low-Cost Hybrid
-
-```yaml
-# Base: Token efficiency recipe
-# + Enable reasoning for critical categories
-# + Strict PII detection
-# = Balanced approach
-
-# Start with token efficiency
-cp config/config.recipe-token-efficiency.yaml config/config.hybrid.yaml
-
-# Then customize:
-categories:
-  - name: math
-    model_scores:
-      - model: openai/gpt-oss-20b
-        use_reasoning: true  # From accuracy recipe
-  - name: law
-    model_scores:
-      - model: openai/gpt-oss-20b
-        use_reasoning: true  # From accuracy recipe
-  # ... other categories keep reasoning: false
-
-classifier:
-  pii_model:
-    threshold: 0.6  # Stricter (from accuracy recipe)
-```
-
-### Example: Fast + Accurate Critical Path
-
-```yaml
-# Base: Latency recipe for speed
-# + Enable reasoning for specific high-value queries
-# = Fast for most, accurate for critical
-
-# Use category-specific reasoning
-categories:
-  - name: medical
-    model_scores:
-      - model: openai/gpt-oss-20b
-        use_reasoning: true  # Accuracy for critical domain
-  - name: other
-    model_scores:
-      - model: openai/gpt-oss-20b
-        use_reasoning: false  # Speed for general queries
-```
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Recipe Not Performing as Expected
-
-**Problem: Cache hit rate is low (<20%)**
-
-```yaml
-# Solution: Lower similarity threshold
-semantic_cache:
-  similarity_threshold: 0.65  # Lower = more hits
-```
-
-**Problem: Too many classification errors**
-
-```yaml
-# Solution: Increase classification threshold
-classifier:
-  category_model:
-    threshold: 0.6  # Higher = more confident classifications
-```
-
-**Problem: High latency despite using latency recipe**
-
-```yaml
-# Solution: Profile and optimize
-# 1. Check if reasoning is accidentally enabled
-# 2. Verify cache is working (check metrics)
-# 3. Increase concurrency
-api:
-  batch_classification:
-    max_concurrency: 64  # Increase parallelism
-```
-
-**Problem: Token usage still high with efficiency recipe**
-
-```yaml
-# Solution: Verify reasoning is disabled
-# Check all categories have use_reasoning: false
-# Increase cache hit rate
-semantic_cache:
-  similarity_threshold: 0.65  # More aggressive caching
-  max_entries: 30000  # Larger cache
-```

-# 4. System prompts work with both "auto" model selection and specific model requests
-# 5. The system prompt is added before reasoning mode processing
