What

Complete the no-cgo Go backend with a pool of WASM instances. Keep parent and child requests from the same session on one instance, and advance routing deadlines while guests are idle.

Add Abort(err) to both Go backends. A host can refuse a call even with fail_open: true, and Route returns the original Go error. Ordinary errors still follow the algorithm's error policy.

Why

Agent Router OSS disables cgo, while its enterprise integration can use the native library. Both should use the same Go API, including a way to stop routing for a budget or authorization refusal.

How tested

Validated after rebasing onto main at 3a2a50e81, with Go 1.26.2 on macOS arm64:

  • Locked native release and WASI guest builds passed.
  • Go tests and vet passed for all four cgo/build-tag combinations. Cgo-enabled tests used race detection; native tests also used GOEXPERIMENT=cgocheck2.
  • Missing-startup-export, cancellation, session-affinity, deadline, and host-abort tests passed.
  • The Go package cross-compiled for linux/386; this checks compilation, not 32-bit runtime support.
  • Formatting, strict FFI Clippy, and all 19 FFI tests passed.
  • Ruff, mypy, and the current 151 Python tests passed. Python tests excluded integration tests and used freshly built PyO3 bindings.
  • The six commits retain equivalent patches, original authorship, and DCO sign-offs.

Native links emitted local macOS deployment-target warnings; tests passed. No live provider calls or publishing. GitHub checks run separately.

Notes for reviewers

#1129 is merged. This PR is rebased onto and targets main directly.

Abort uses libsy's existing fail() methods. It adds a Go helper and an abort JSON reply, with no new public Rust API or C function signatures.

Backend selection remains build-time. Algorithm state is per WASM instance; a trap loses that instance's retained state. The README now names VGR's circuit breaker and Advisor's budget without a session ID as examples, and makes gateway-wide spending limits host-owned.

Based on Nick DiZazzo's dual-engine contribution and host-abort commit. His contributions and our follow-up fixes remain separate commits.

Next PR: #1147.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Go bindings now use WebAssembly by default, with native builds available as an opt-in.
    • Added Abort(err) to stop routing and return the original error when a host call must halt processing.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Host aborts now fail routing even when the algorithm is configured to continue after ordinary host-call errors.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Go setup and backend guidance. Go 1.25 or later is now required.

Walkthrough

The Go binding now uses a WASM backend by default and supports native linking through an opt-in build tag. Both backends implement the shared routing interface. Go host calls and the C ABI now distinguish abort replies from ordinary errors.

Changes

Go routing backends

Layer / File(s) Summary
Abort contract and propagation
bindings/go/switchyard.go, bindings/go/switchyard_test.go, crates/switchyard-ffi/src/lib.rs, crates/switchyard-ffi/src/tests.rs, crates/switchyard-ffi/include/switchyard.h, bindings/go/README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Abort(err) encodes a distinct abort reply. The C ABI fails the run for model and decision aborts, while ordinary errors continue through the algorithm’s error policy. Go tests check that the original error is returned and that fail-open handling does not recover an abort.
WASM runtime and translation
bindings/go/wasm_runtime.go, bindings/go/translation.go, bindings/go/translation_wazero.go, bindings/go/wasm_test.go, bindings/go/go.mod, .gitignore, bindings/go/README.md
The WASM runtime initializes guest modules, checks the ABI version, handles guest memory and JSON calls, and serializes translation operations. Tests cover missing startup exports and translator replacement after failure. The module adds wazero and updates its Go version requirement.
WASM routing and instance lifecycle
bindings/go/backend_wazero.go, bindings/go/backend_test.go, bindings/go/wasm_test.go, bindings/go/README.md, bindings/go/switchyard_test.go
The backend assigns requests to pooled instances, advances guest runs, dispatches host calls, and replaces trapped or closed generations. Tests cover routing deadlines, concurrent calls, session affinity, cancellation, and isolation between instances.
Native backend and build selection
bindings/go/backend_native.go, bindings/go/callbacks.go, bindings/go/translation_native.go, bindings/go/README.md
The cgo backend implements router creation, run advancement, host-call dispatch, and cleanup. Build constraints select it when cgo and switchyard_native are enabled. The README documents native build requirements and backend selection.

Priority: Pending latest changes

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 62146

The new Go WASM backend works for normal routing. A rare failure to replace a crashed WASM instance can leave that session's slot unavailable until the router is closed. Idle polling may also add latency under heavy concurrency. Both are bounded, and fixing them before or soon after merge is advisable.

Explanation

The title "feat(go): add pooled wazero routing backend" matches the main change. The PR adds a pooled WASM backend built on wazero for the no-cgo Go build, as shown by the new bindings/go/backend_wazero.go, wasm_runtime.go, and the go.mod wazero requirement. The title is concise, specific, and uses a conventional commit format. It does not cover the Abort(err) host-abort addition, but that is a secondary change and the title does not need to list every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 54.55% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 33 functions across 14 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

A rabbit hops where WASM guests run
And checks each route beneath the sun
If hosts say stop, the run replies
With errors kept in their true size
Then back to burrows, safe and spry

322-328: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Heavy lift

Avoid one idle ticker per run on a shared slot.

route creates a ticker for each run that reaches the idle branch. Each tick calls run.next, which holds the slot mutex during allocation, sy_run_next, and freeing. respond uses the same mutex. With N idle runs, this can produce about 200·N serialized polls per second and delay real next and respond calls under high concurrency.

The README documents the 5 ms idle re-entry and possible scheduling delay, but it does not require one ticker per run. Poll once per slot, or expose the guest’s next wake-up time. Do not claim that polling consumes a large share of slot time without measurement.
