Closes #1292

What

A recipe for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI as a Switchyard backend: endpoint and credential setup, a capability route and a stage route over OCI model IDs, the Python host path, and the endpoint's known limits. New page docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md, linked under Integrate Switchyard → Model Providers in mkdocs.yml.

Why

OCI serves OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions and Responses with a bearer API key, so Switchyard v0.3.0 works there with no code change, but nothing in the repository says so. The recipe records the parts that are not obvious: the policy-before-key ordering, which OCI models need the Responses format, and what the endpoint does not serve.

Verification

• switchyard-server --config oci-routing.toml --dry-run on v0.3.0: server OK: oci-capable, oci-efficient, oci-execution, oci-task
• Live capability route against us-chicago-1: six prompts, decisions and wall times in the comment below
• Live stage route with tool history: clean history stays efficient, repeated failures and a hard error escalate
• mkdocs build --strict (passes; one pre-existing nav warning unrelated to this page)

Docs only; no code, no tests affected.

Two commits: the initial recipe and its rewrite after the live runs; squash on merge is fine.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added a guide for connecting to OCI Generative AI, including setup, routing, Python usage, and provider-specific considerations.
  • Added the guide to the documentation navigation.

[fede-kamel]

Live verification done against us-chicago-1 with switchyard-server 0.3.0 built from crates.io, using a compartment-scoped Generative AI API key. The recipe now shows only what was observed.

Task route (llm_classifier, capability mode, judge Llama 4 Maverick, efficient Llama 4 Scout, capable Grok 4.7, route prompt set):

Prompt	Selected	Wall time
Tone rewrite	Scout	4.7 s
Number extraction	Scout	1.0 s
Staffing arithmetic with a what-if	Scout	3.0 s
Password-reset FAQ	Scout	2.0 s
Prove the harmonic series diverges	Grok 4.7	9.1 s
Debug a lost-update race, with code	Grok 4.7	11.8 s

Execution route (stage_router, efficient_first, 0.5): clean tool history stayed on Scout; two failing pytest runs escalated to Grok 4.7 (override); a single CUDA out-of-memory tool result also escalated. Streaming through both routes returned normal chat.completion.chunk SSE.

Why the recipe sets prompt: with the packaged capability card, Maverick, Scout, gpt-oss-120b and Grok 4.7 all rated the proof and the planning task "supported" (p_solve 0.8 to 0.95) and every request went to the efficient model. The card describes a coding agent with tools; with a card describing the deployed text model, the same judges separated the tasks as in the table.

Judge candidates (same four prompts, JSON Schema verdict): Maverick valid on 4/4 at about 0.5 s; Scout and gpt-oss-120b returned an inconsistent rule/boundary or truncated JSON on some prompts (routed capable as fail_open); Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite returned p_solve as a string; Grok 4.7 valid but 13 to 65 s per verdict; gpt-5.4-mini valid on 4/4 at about 1 s when the call uses max_completion_tokens.

0.3.0 behaviours worth knowing on OCI: a judge target that reuses the efficient model's id is dropped (target judge reuses model id ... only one target per id is kept); OpenAI gpt-5.x targets answer on openai_chat only when the caller omits max_tokens (they return 400 Unsupported parameter: 'max_tokens' otherwise, so they cannot be the judge on that client; omit_body_fields on main would allow it); the Responses client returns 404 Authorization failed or requested resource not found unless the key's policy also grants manage generative-ai-response, and non-OpenAI models there require an OpenAI-Project header.

mkdocs build --strict passes. Docs only.

[fede-kamel]

Responses API path now verified too. After adding manage generative-ai-response to the key's policy, the two-client configuration (OpenAI models on openai_responses, Llama 4 Scout on openai_chat) served: openai.gpt-5.5 on a passthrough route (200, 2.0 s), openai.gpt-5.4-mini as the capability judge (task route 200), and the stage router's escalation to openai.gpt-5.5 on repeated failing tests (200, 3.6 s). The recipe's OpenAI section now shows the policy statement and the client/target snippet instead of an inferred requirement.

Walkthrough

The documentation adds a recipe for using OCI Generative AI with Switchyard. It covers endpoint and credential setup, routing configuration, Python usage, and OCI-specific API behavior and limitations. The documentation navigation links to the recipe.

Changes

OCI Generative AI recipe

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Endpoint setup and routing docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md, mkdocs.yml	The recipe describes the OCI endpoint, bearer-token credentials, IAM setup, catalog lookup, and example Switchyard routing configuration. The navigation adds a Model Providers section and links to the recipe.
Usage and OCI-specific behavior docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md	The recipe records example routing outcomes and Python usage. It also documents API constraints, feature support, cost reporting, timeout configuration, and signing requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 4ae3c

Readers may encounter expired credentials after January 2027 or miss required Responses API project setup. These guidance issues are bounded and straightforward to address.

Architecture risk: Low · up to 4ae3c

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md: Adds OCI endpoint and credential documentation, including the OpenAI-compatible URL and bearer-token API key, model ID examples, IAM policy and key creation commands, and catalog lookup behavior with its stated 404 condition.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md: Adds a TOML example defining an OCI client, judge, efficient and capable targets, capability-classifier route, and stage-router route, plus commands to dry-run or start the server.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md: Documents example routing outcomes and OCI configuration observations: the prompt describes the deployed efficient model, target model IDs must be distinct for v0.3.0, and reported judge verdict validity and latency vary by model.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/recipes/oci_generative_ai.md: Adds documentation of OpenAI model token-field constraints on Chat Completions, the judge-call limitation and main branch workaround, and Responses API token support plus OCI-specific permission and header requirements.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1292 requires the recipe to cover both openai_chat and openai_responses clients. The recipe gives a runnable openai_chat configuration and explains the Responses API format, permissions, and header limits, but it does not show a configured openai_responses client or a target that uses it. The other requested topics are present, including endpoint and catalog lookup, IAM policy ordering, capability and stage routes, the Python host path, and the listed endpoint limits.

Resolution

Add a runnable openai_responses client and target example for an OCI OpenAI model, including the endpoint and required credentials or headers.

Then checks the routes from side to side.
With keys and models neatly shown,
It hops through examples on its own.
“OCI,” it says, “is documented now!”}
