What

  • add public OutcomeMetadata { outcome_id, algorithm, evidence }
  • expose it as optional RoutingOutcome.metadata
  • attach default metadata to every successful outcome emitted by run_stream
  • record the same outcome ID on the corresponding libsy.run span

Why

Consumers need a small identity and evidence surface for correlating a returned routing outcome with local telemetry. Request, session, task, and turn identifiers remain host-owned request metadata rather than being duplicated here.

How

OutcomeMetadata::new(String, Option<String>) is the primary construction API. It generates a fresh UUIDv7 internally; the private ID field prevents struct literals from bypassing generation. Algorithms may provide metadata with evidence, while Driver::finish creates metadata with the owning algorithm name when they omit it.

The crate version versions this public contract; there is no separate public schema-version type. The current PyO3 conversion explicitly ignores outcome metadata, so this MR does not expand the Python API. Runs that end in an error do not produce a RoutingOutcome or an outcome ID.

What to review

  • the constructor-enforced outcome ID invariant
  • automatic metadata attachment before the terminal outcome is published
  • separation of outcome identity from host-supplied correlation metadata
  • the intentionally small optional evidence surface

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo test --workspace -q
  • pre-commit cargo clippy

Relates to SWITCH-1417.

Walkthrough

Changes

The change adds public DecisionMetadata with an algorithm name and optional evidence. RoutingOutcome stores this metadata as an optional field. Constructors default the field to None, and Python conversion ignores it.

Routing decision metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decision metadata contract
crates/libsy/src/core/decision.rs, crates/libsy/src/core.rs, crates/libsy/src/lib.rs
Defines DecisionMetadata, declares the public module, and re-exports the type from the crate root.
Routing outcome integration
crates/libsy/src/core/algorithm.rs
Adds the optional metadata field, initializes it in constructors, and verifies the default in tests.
Python conversion compatibility
crates/switchyard-py/src/libsy_bindings.rs
Destructures and discards decision metadata during terminal outcome conversion.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 265d4

This adds optional routing metadata without changing default routing behavior, but downstream Rust users may need source changes for RoutingOutcome literals, and the new evidence field does not yet guarantee its documented bounds or format. The answered-path default also needs coverage before merge.

decision: _ silently drops the new metadata in a private conversion helper. Add a concise comment that the Python binding intentionally omits DecisionMetadata to preserve the existing Python API.

As per coding guidelines, Rust private helpers with non-obvious behavior need concise comments.

Make DecisionMetadata::evidence enforceable.

The public Option<String> field does not enforce the documented bounded, machine-readable contract. Callers can provide any valid UTF-8 string of any length. Define the evidence format and maximum size, then expose a validated type or constructor instead of the raw field.

- Line 490: Complete the constructor-default test by asserting that the outcome
created through RoutingOutcome::answered also has decision set to None,
alongside the existing route_to assertion. Add a concise comment documenting
that both constructors share this default invariant.
- Line 72: Define a compatibility and migration plan for the public
RoutingOutcome struct before publication, addressing that adding the decision
field breaks downstream struct literals that omit it. Specify how external
consumers should migrate, or adjust the API design to preserve compatibility,
and document the chosen approach without changing unrelated behavior.
