- Retry logic with exponential backoff
- Automatic metrics tracking (requests, latency, success rate)
- Health check abstraction
- Request execution with protection
**Key Methods:**
```javascript
- execute(prompt, options) // Request with circuit breaker
- checkHealth() // Health check (abstract)
- makeRequest(prompt, options) // Backend request (abstract)

```
#### 2. BackendRegistry (Registry Pattern)
**Location:** `backends/backend-registry.js`
**Lines:** 405 lines
**Features:**
- Config-driven backend registration
- Priority-based fallback chains
- Dynamic adapter management
- Automatic fallback on failure
- Health status aggregation
**Key Methods:**
```javascript
- register(name, config) // Register backend
- setAdapter(name, adapter) // Set adapter instance

2. **All existing environment variables respected** - `VLLM_ENDPOINT`, `NVIDIA_API_KEY`, etc.
3. **All existing configuration works** - No .env file modifications required
4. **Existing tool calls unaffected** - `ask`, `review`, `edit_file`, etc. all work
5. **Transparent upgrade** - Backend selection logic preserved

## Benefits of New Architecture
### 1. Production-Ready Reliability
**Circuit Breaker Protection**
- Automatic circuit opening after 5 consecutive failures
- 30-second cooldown before retry attempts
- Prevents cascade failures
**Automatic Fallback**
- Priority-based fallback chain
- Seamless backend switching on failure
- No manual intervention required
**Health Monitoring**
- Per-backend health checks
- Latency tracking
- Availability status
### 2. Performance Metrics
**Per-Backend Tracking:**
- Total requests
- Successful/failed requests
- Average latency
- Success rate
- Circuit breaker status
**Registry-Level Tracking:**
- Total backends
- Enabled backends
- Healthy backends
- Fallback chain status
### 3. Extensibility
**Easy to Add New Backends:**
1. Create new adapter class extending `BackendAdapter`
2. Implement `makeRequest()` and `checkHealth()`
3. Register with BackendRegistry
4. Done!
**Config-Driven:**
- Backend priorities configurable
- Enable/disable backends dynamically
- Fallback chains auto-update
### 4. Maintainability
**Separation of Concerns:**
- Backend logic isolated in adapters
- Registry handles orchestration
- Server just routes requests
**Clear Abstractions:**
- Abstract base class enforces interface
- Registry provides consistent API
- Easy to test components independently

## Next Steps (Phase 2 & 3)
### Phase 2: Compound Learning Engine (Deferred)
**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours
**Files to Port:**
- `intelligence/compound-learning.js` (~400 lines)
- `data/learning/learning-state.json` (auto-created)
**Features:**
- EMA-based confidence scoring (alpha=0.2)

- Backend performance tracking
- Learning state persistence
- Outcome tracking (success/partial/failure/timeout)
**Integration Points:**
- Hook into BackendRouter routing logic
- Record outcomes after each request
- Use learned patterns before rule-based routing
- Priority: Forced → Learning → Rules → Health
### Phase 3: spawn_subagent System (Deferred)
**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours
**Files to Port:**
- `handlers/subagent-handler.js` (~200 lines)
- `config/role-templates.js` (~300 lines)
- `utils/verdict-parser.js` (~150 lines)
- `utils/role-validator.js` (~80 lines)
**Features:**
- 6 specialized roles:
- code-reviewer
- security-auditor
- planner
- refactor-specialist
- test-generator
- documentation-writer
- Role-specific prompts and temperature settings
- Verdict parsing for structured outputs
- File pattern resolution (glob support)
- Per-role metrics tracking
**Integration Points:**
- Add `spawn_subagent` tool to server
- Route to SubagentHandler
- Use BackendRouter for execution
- Track subagent metrics in analytics
---
## How to Use
### Running the Server
```bash
# Start Smart AI Bridge v1.3.0
node smart-ai-bridge-v1.1.0.js
# Or with environment variables
VLLM_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4141 \
NVIDIA_API_KEY=your_key \
node smart-ai-bridge-v1.1.0.js
```
### Running Tests
```bash
# Test backend adapter architecture
node test-backend-adapters.js
```
### Using Backends
Backends are used transparently through the `ask` tool:
```javascript
// Use default (local) backend
{ "model": "local", "prompt": "Hello" }
// Use specific backend
{ "model": "deepseek3.1", "prompt": "Analyze this code" }
{ "model": "qwen3", "prompt": "Write a function" }
{ "model": "gemini", "prompt": "Quick query" }
```
Fallback happens automatically if preferred backend fails.
---
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
**Local Backend:**
```bash
VLLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:4141 # Local vLLM endpoint
```
**NVIDIA Backends:**
```bash
NVIDIA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Required for DeepSeek & Qwen
```
**Gemini Backend:**
- Configured via MCP gemini-enhanced server
- No additional environment variables needed
### Backend Priorities (Default)
1. **local** (priority: 1) - First choice, always available
2. **gemini** (priority: 2) - Second choice, fast queries
3. **deepseek** (priority: 3) - Third choice, reasoning tasks
4. **qwen** (priority: 4) - Fourth choice, coding tasks
**Fallback Order:** local → gemini → deepseek → qwen
---
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: "Circuit breaker open for [backend]"
**Cause:** Backend had 5 consecutive failures
**Solution:** Wait 30 seconds for automatic reset, or check backend health
### Issue: "All backends failed"
**Cause:** All backends in fallback chain unavailable
**Solution:** Check:
1. VLLM_ENDPOINT is correct and reachable
2. NVIDIA_API_KEY is valid
3. Network connectivity
4. Backend services are running
### Issue: Backend not responding
**Check Health:**
```javascript
// Use health tool
{ "check_type": "comprehensive" }
```
**Inspect Metrics:**
```javascript
// Check which backends are healthy
// Look for circuit breaker status
// Review latency and failure rates
```
