Tasks: Speculative Router (F15)

Feature Branch: 018-speculative-router
Status: ✅ COMPLETED (All tasks marked as done)
Created: 2025-02-17

Input: Design documents from /specs/018-speculative-router/

  • plan.md ✅ (implementation plan with architecture)
  • spec.md ✅ (user stories with priorities P1-P3)

Organization: Tasks are grouped by user story to enable independent implementation and testing of each story.

Tests: No dedicated test tasks included per the specification. The implementation includes inline unit tests in the module files.

Format: - [x] [ID] [P?] [Story?] Description

  • [x]: Completed (all tasks done - retrospective documentation)
  • [P]: Can run in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
  • [Story]: Which user story this task belongs to (US1, US2, US3, US4, US5)
  • All file paths are absolute from repository root

Phase 1: Setup (Shared Infrastructure) ✅

Purpose: Project structure and foundational types

  • T001 Create RequestRequirements struct in src/routing/requirements.rs with fields: model, estimated_tokens, needs_vision, needs_tools, needs_json_mode, prefers_streaming
  • T002 Add RequestRequirements module to src/routing/mod.rs module tree

Dependencies & Execution Order

Phase Dependencies

  • Setup (Phase 1): No dependencies - completed first
  • Foundational (Phase 2): Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
  • User Stories (Phase 3-7): All depend on Foundational phase completion
    • User stories completed in priority order: P1 (US1, US2) → P2 (US3) → P3 (US4, US5)
  • RequestAnalyzer (Phase 8): Completed in parallel with user stories (different module)
  • Performance (Phase 9): Depends on all implementation complete
  • Integration (Phase 10): Depends on all phases complete

User Story Dependencies

  • User Story 1 (P1 - Vision): Independent - no dependencies on other stories
  • User Story 2 (P1 - Context): Independent - no dependencies on other stories
  • User Story 3 (P2 - Tools): Independent - no dependencies on other stories
  • User Story 4 (P3 - JSON): Independent - no dependencies on other stories
  • User Story 5 (P3 - Streaming): Independent - no dependencies on other stories

All user stories are independently testable and were implemented without blocking each other.

Within Each User Story

  • Requirements extraction before filtering logic
  • Filtering logic before unit tests
  • Helper functions before tests that use them

Parallel Opportunities (Retrospective)

Tasks that were completed in parallel:

# Phase 2: Foundation (different concerns)
T005 (RequestAnalyzer struct) || T004 (from_request method)

# Phase 3: User Story 1 tests
T014 (detects_vision_requirement test) || T015 (no false positives test)

# Phase 6: User Story 4 tests  
T029 (detects_json_mode test) || T030 (helper function)

# Phase 8: RequestAnalyzer tests
T038, T039, T040, T041, T042 (all unit tests)

# Phase 9: Performance benchmarks
T043, T044, T045, T046 (all benchmarks)

# Phase 10: Documentation
T048, T049, T050, T051, T052 (documentation tasks)

Implementation Strategy (Retrospective)

Actual Execution Order

  1. ✅ Phase 1: Setup (Types and structure)
  2. ✅ Phase 2: Foundational (Core extraction and filtering logic)
  3. ✅ Phase 3-7: User Stories (Implemented in priority order P1→P2→P3)
  4. ✅ Phase 8: RequestAnalyzer (Alias resolution and candidate population)
  5. ✅ Phase 9: Performance (Benchmarks validating constitution requirements)
  6. ✅ Phase 10: Integration (Documentation and final validation)

Incremental Delivery (Completed)

Each user story was completed and tested independently:

  1. ✅ Setup + Foundational → Foundation ready
  2. ✅ Add User Story 1 (Vision) → Tested independently → Working
  3. ✅ Add User Story 2 (Context) → Tested independently → Working
  4. ✅ Add User Story 3 (Tools) → Tested independently → Working
  5. ✅ Add User Story 4 (JSON) → Tested independently → Working
  6. ✅ Add User Story 5 (Streaming) → Tested independently → Working

Each story added value without breaking previous stories.

  • All tasks marked [x] as feature is COMPLETED
  • [P] tasks indicate parallel implementation opportunities (used retrospectively)
  • [Story] labels map tasks to user stories for traceability
