Instead of giving the available models to the algorithm in new we pass
them alongside the request in run_stream where they go in the
Driver.

Runtime model categories

Layer / File(s) Summary
Category contracts and driver propagation
crates/protocol/*, crates/libsy/src/core/*
Adds Category and passes category-to-model mappings through drivers and algorithm execution.
Route configuration and construction
crates/switchyard-runner/*
Stores categorized models on routes and validates category-based classifier configuration.
Algorithm resolution
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/*
Resolves judge, capable, efficient, and any models at request time.
Bindings and integrations
crates/switchyard-py/*, switchyard_rust/*, examples/litellm/*
Updates public bindings and integrations to pass model mappings explicitly.
Profiles, documentation, and tests
benchmark/*, docs/*, README.md, tests/*
Updates configuration examples, routing terminology, API examples, and coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7aced

Several reachable routing paths can fail requests, choose inappropriate models, or report incorrect routing metadata. These runtime contract issues should be fixed before merge.

647-652: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the runtime category mapping in the public Python API.

Document any, judge, capable, and efficient for PyAlgorithm::run_stream, switchyard_rust/libsy.py::Algorithm.run_stream, and SwitchyardRoutingPlugin.models. State the algorithm-specific candidate requirements and that an unknown category raises ValueError. Document the plugin defaults and candidate-pool invariant. Keep these docstrings consistent with the existing TOML reference.

Inline comments:
In `@benchmark/routing-profiles/tau2-telecom-custom-opus-qwen-aggressive.toml`:
- Around line 76-79: Update both classifier prompts to replace all legacy
WEAK/STRONG and weak/strong routing labels with the schema values efficient and
capable, using efficient for routine requests and capable for escalation; keep
the response_schema and direct route-output requirement consistent.

In `@crates/libsy/src/algorithms/fall_through.rs`:
- Line 121: Update FallThrough::route to validate score.target with
ensure_model_is_target against driver.models_for(Category::Any) before decision
replay and RoutingOutcome construction; propagate the validation error and
preserve the existing fallback routing behavior.

In `@crates/libsy/src/algorithms/rand.rs`:
- Line 42: Validate the configured weight count against options.len() before
constructing the distribution or sampling indices in RandomClassifier. Return
LibsyError::AlgorithmError when the counts differ, while preserving the existing
behavior for matching counts and uniform sampling.

In `@crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/affinity.rs`:
- Around line 252-260: Move the Driver::set_evidence call that records
"retained" until after the assignment availability check in the
assignment-resolution flow, so it runs only when the assignment survives and is
returned. Preserve eviction behavior for unavailable models, and add a test
verifying an evicted assignment produces no retained evidence.

In `@crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/llm_judge.rs`:
- Around line 356-361: The custom classifier route setup must reject
configurations with an empty Category::Judge model list before constructing or
invoking JudgeClassifier. Add validation for custom routes that require at least
one judge model, while preserving the existing no-model error behavior and
leaving capability/escalation routes unchanged.

In `@crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/target_selector.rs`:
- Around line 49-53: Update TargetSelectorPolicy’s category classification
branch to check models_for(category) before selecting a model; return
Classification::Ambiguous for parseable categories with no mapped models instead
of propagating first_model_for errors, allowing FallThrough to reach
DefaultCategoryClassifier. Add a test covering an unmapped category and
verifying the default target is used.

In `@crates/switchyard-runner/src/algorithm.rs`:
- Around line 476-479: Update custom-mode handling in
SubagentRouteConfig::routing_target_names to derive only completion targets,
excluding judge-only names rather than using CategoryModelConfig::all_names.
Update callable_target_names to append the custom mode’s judge names so judge
calls still receive clients while routing consumers never treat judges as
completion destinations.
- Around line 659-666: Update merge_category_models to deduplicate model names
while merging each category, preserving their first-seen order so repeated
parent and sub-agent targets appear only once.

In `@crates/switchyard-server/src/lib.rs`:
- Line 197: Update the ServerState::new call to pass the runtime
category-to-model map instead of HashMap::new(), ensuring each Route receives
the models used by Route::execute and Passthrough. Change the constructor and
relevant state initialization to accept and retain this map, without deriving it
from ClientRouter.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 174: Update the README algorithm example around algorithm.run_stream so
it passes the request-time category-to-model mapping described earlier. Adjust
the surrounding example as needed to define or obtain that runtime model
catalog, while preserving the existing request execution flow.
