└── AnthropicAdapter (future)
```

## Core Components

### 1. LLMServiceRouter (`llm/llm_service_router.py`)

**Purpose**: Intelligent routing to providers based on model name and API keys.

**Key Features**:
- Provider prefix routing (`ollama/`, `bedrock/`, `anthropic/`, `openai/`)
- Model pattern matching (`claude-*`, `gpt-*`, etc.)
- API key-based provider detection
- Privacy mode support (`force_local_only`)
- Prompt counting for audit trails
- Comprehensive logging

**Interface**:
```python
router = LLMServiceRouter(llm_services=[service1, service2])

response = router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",  # or "ollama/llama2", "bedrock/claude-3"
    user_prompt="What is 2+2?",
    system_prompt="You are a math tutor",
    images=["path/to/image.png"],  # Optional
    response_format=MyPydanticModel,  # Optional
    stream=True,  # Streaming support
    force_local_only=True  # Privacy mode
)
```

### 2. LLMService Base Interface (`llm/llm_service.py`)

**Purpose**: Abstract interface for provider implementations.

**Key Method**:
```python
def do_generate(
    model: str,
    user_prompt: str,
    system_prompt: Optional[str] = None,
    images: Optional[List[Union[str, bytes]]] = None,
    response_format: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None,
    max_tokens: Optional[int] = None,
    temperature: float = 0,
    stream: bool = False
) -> Any
```

### 3. Enhanced LLMAdapter (`llm/adapter.py`)

**Purpose**: Unified adapter for creating messages and handling responses.

**New Features**:
- **Streaming Support**:
  - `get_response_stream()` - Handles both structured and unstructured streaming
  - `get_response_nonstream()` - Non-streaming responses

- **Vision/Image Support**:
  - File path handling
  - Base64 string decoding
  - Raw bytes conversion
  - PNG and JPEG format detection
  - Auto-detection via magic numbers

- **Structured Output**:
  - Pydantic model integration
  - JSON parsing and validation
  - Graceful fallback on parse errors

- **Message Creation**:
  - System and user prompts
  - Image embedding in OpenAI format
  - Content array structure for vision

**Image Format Support**:
```python
# All three formats work
router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",
    user_prompt="What's in this?",
    images=[
        "/path/to/image.png",  # File path
        "iVBORw0KGgo...",      # Base64 string
        image_bytes            # Raw bytes
    ]
)
```

### 4. Provider Services

#### OpenAI Service (`llm/openai_llm_service.py`)
- Sync client using `openai.OpenAI`
- Full streaming support
- Structured output via Pydantic
- Vision capabilities (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini)

#### Ollama Service (`llm/ollama_llm_service.py`)
- Local model execution
- Privacy-focused (no external API calls)
- Configurable host URL
- Vision model support (llava, llama3.2-vision)

## Provider Routing

### Routing Priority

1. **Explicit Prefix** (Highest priority)
   - `openai/gpt-4o` → OpenAI GPT-4o
   - `ollama/llama2` → Ollama Llama2
   - `bedrock/claude-3` → Bedrock Claude 3
   - `anthropic/claude-3-sonnet` → Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet

2. **Model Pattern Matching**
   - `gpt-*` → OpenAI
   - `claude-*` → Anthropic
   - `gemini-*` → Gemini
   - `vertex/*` → Google Vertex AI

3. **Keyword Mappings**
   - `simple` → `gpt-4o-mini`
   - `basic` → `gpt-4o-mini`
   - `complex` → `gpt-4o`
   - `advanced` → `gpt-4o`

4. **Default**
   - Unknown models → OpenAI

## Feature Support Matrix

| Feature | OpenAI | Ollama | Anthropic |
|---------|--------|--------|-----------|
| Streaming | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Structured Output | ✓ | ~ | ✓ |
| Vision | ✓ | ✓* | ~ |
| Local Only | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |
| System Prompt | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

*Ollama: Requires vision model (llava, llama3.2-vision)
~: Partial or limited support

## Privacy Integration

### Force Local Only Mode

```python
# Use only local providers (Ollama)
response = router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",  # Would be overridden
    user_prompt="Sensitive query",
    force_local_only=True  # Forces ollama provider
)
```

**Use Cases**:
- EPHEMERAL mode - Temporary data, local processing only
- ISOLATED mode - Air-gapped environment
- Confidential documents - No external API exposure

## Streaming Examples

### Unstructured Streaming
```python
response_gen = router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",
    user_prompt="Tell me a story",
    stream=True
)

for chunk in response_gen:
    print(chunk, end='', flush=True)
```

### Structured Streaming
```python
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class ColorList(BaseModel):
    colors: list[str] = Field(description="List of colors")

response_gen = router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",
    user_prompt="List 3 colors",
    response_format=ColorList,
    stream=True
)

for chunk in response_gen:
    print(chunk)  # ColorList instances as they stream
```

## Migration from Legacy Service

### Old Code
```python
from llm.service import LLMService

service = LLMService()
response = await service.get_response(
    system_prompt="You are helpful",
    user_prompt="Hello"
)
```

### New Code (Sync)
```python
from llm.llm_service_router import LLMServiceRouter
from llm.openai_llm_service import OpenAILLMService

router = LLMServiceRouter(
    llm_services=[OpenAILLMService()]
)

response = router.complete(
    user_prompt="Hello",
    system_prompt="You are helpful"
)
```

### New Code (Multiple Providers)
```python
router = LLMServiceRouter(
    llm_services=[
        OpenAILLMService(),
        OllamaLLMService(host="http://localhost:11434")
    ]
)

# Automatically routes to correct provider
response = router.complete(model="ollama/llama2", user_prompt="test")
```

# Single test
pytest tests/llm/test_router.py::TestProviderRouting::test_get_provider_and_model_openai_prefix -v

# Quiet mode
pytest tests/llm/ -q
```

### Test Results
- **Total Tests**: 54 passed, 3 skipped
- **Pass Rate**: 94.7%
- **Skipped**: Tests requiring API keys (OpenAI)

## Error Handling

### Provider Failures
```python
try:
    response = router.complete(model="gpt-4o", user_prompt="test")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Routing error: {e}")
except RuntimeError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e}")
```

### Image Processing
```python
# Gracefully handles:
# - Missing files
# - Invalid image formats
# - Encoding errors

response = router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",
    user_prompt="Analyze",
    images=["/nonexistent.png"]  # Logged but doesn't crash
)
```

### Parsing Failures
```python
# Structured output with fallback
response = router.complete(
    model="gpt-4o",
    user_prompt="Give me structured data",
    response_format=MyModel
)

# If parsing fails, returns raw string
if isinstance(response, str):
    print(f"Raw response: {response}")
else:
    print(f"Parsed: {response.field}")
```

## Performance Considerations

### Prompt Counting
- Every request increments `router.prompt_count`
- Useful for audit trails and rate limiting
- Thread-safe with proper locking (future)

### Streaming Benefits
- Lower latency for user feedback
- Reduced memory usage for long responses
- Better UX for interactive applications

### Caching Opportunities
- Provider instances are reused
- API key handling is efficient
- Message formatting is minimal

## Future Enhancements

1. **Provider Support**
   - Bedrock (AWS)
   - Anthropic (direct API)
   - Cohere
   - Together AI

2. **Features**
   - Tool/function calling
   - Multi-turn conversations
   - Context window management
   - Token counting

3. **Performance**
   - Response caching
   - Connection pooling
   - Batch processing
   - Circuit breaker pattern

4. **Observability**
   - Distributed tracing
   - Metrics collection
   - Cost tracking
   - Model usage analytics

## Security Considerations

### API Key Management
- Environment variable support
- Per-request override capability
- No key logging in error messages

### Privacy Features
- Force local-only mode
- No external API calls if configured
- Audit trail via prompt counting

### Data Handling
- Image size validation
- Content validation
- Error information sanitization

## Backward Compatibility

### Legacy Adapter Methods
- `create_messages(system_prompt, user_prompt)` still works
- Async `get_response()` method maintained
- Format parameter support (`format="json"`)

### Service Interface
- Existing `llm/service.py` unchanged
- New router coexists with old service
- Gradual migration possible

## Configuration

### Environment Variables
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...      # OpenAI API key
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...  # Anthropic API key
OLLAMA_HOST=http://localhost:11434  # Ollama server URL
```

### Provider Configuration
```python
# OpenAI with custom API key
openai_service = OpenAILLMService(api_key="sk-custom")

# Ollama with custom host
ollama_service = OllamaLLMService(host="http://remote:11434")

# Router with mixed providers
router = LLMServiceRouter(
    llm_services=[
        openai_service,
        ollama_service
    ]
)
```

## Troubleshooting

### "No LLM service found for provider"
- Ensure service is registered with router
- Check provider name spelling
- Verify service is initialized

### Image not processing
- Check file path is correct and accessible
- Verify image format is PNG or JPEG
- Ensure base64 string is valid

### Streaming returns empty
- Check model supports streaming
- Verify user prompt is not empty
- Check rate limits and quotas

### Kestrel Architecture
- Privacy-first design
- Constitutional governance
- Sovereignty principles
