WalkthroughThe LiteLLM example now uses native Switchyard routing plugins. It adds Stage and Random profiles, TOML configuration loading, request rewriting, local Docker deployment, a Python Router example, and comprehensive unit and integration tests. ChangesLiteLLM routing integration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new deployable LiteLLM image runs as root, so a compromise could grant unnecessary container privileges; this concrete security issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Poem

- Around line 23-31: Update the final LiteLLM image stage after the application
files are copied to create or select a non-root runtime account, grant it the
minimum required access to /app and the read-only /app/deployment mount, and set
the Dockerfile USER accordingly so LiteLLM does not run as root.

Replaces the experimental LiteLLM client adapter with native dual-role routing plugins backed by Switchyard’s decision-only API. LiteLLM YAML owns model inventory, Switchyard TOML owns Random or Stage policy, and the same plugin object narrows candidates before selection and applies supported request rewrites afterward.
Adds deployable Stage and Random profiles, configurable Stage prompts and handoff notes, configurable Random weights and seed, fail-closed request translation, refreshed examples and documentation, and unit and integration coverage. Validation: repository tests passed (149), the LiteLLM offline suite passed (68 with 2 paid E2E tests deselected), and Ruff and mypy passed.
