Warning

BREAKING CHANGE: NeMo Relay 0.8 no longer ships the built-in nemo-relay-switchyard crate, CLI switchyard feature, or service-backed switchyard component. Existing configurations must remove the legacy component and migrate to the Switchyard-owned dynamic plugin documented and released with Switchyard 0.3. See the Switchyard migration guide.

Overview

This PR removes NeMo Relay's built-in, service-backed Switchyard integration before the 0.8.0 release candidate. It supersedes PR #595 with a clean change based on current main.

  • I confirm this contribution is made under the terms of the project's license.
  • I searched existing pull requests and issues to avoid creating a duplicate.

Details

  • Removes the nemo-relay-switchyard workspace crate, CLI feature and registration, editor support, service examples, process E2E, translation coverage, and response-cache ordering coverage.
  • Removes Switchyard from CI publishing, release inventories, version tooling, Cargo metadata, the lockfile, and Rust dependency attributions.
  • Rejects enabled and disabled legacy [[components]] kind = "switchyard" entries with a migration-specific diagnostic that links to the stable migration page and the Switchyard-owned dynamic plugin.
  • Preserves Relay's generic dynamic-plugin surfaces, observability fixtures, and adaptive routing-backend cache partition behavior for external plugins.
  • Replaces the legacy Switchyard documentation with concise migration guidance, updates the first-party component list and navigation, and records the breaking removal in the 0.8 release notes.
  • Does not prescribe a plugin ID, bundle format, or unfinished Switchyard 0.3 configuration.

This is a breaking change: Relay 0.8 no longer accepts the built-in switchyard component or provides the nemo-relay-switchyard crate and CLI feature.

Validation completed successfully:

  • cargo test -p nemo-relay-cli --lib plugins::tests::validate_config_rejects_removed_switchyard_components_with_migration_guidance -- --exact
  • cargo fmt --all
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo deny check
  • just test-rust
  • just test-python (684 passed)
  • just test-go
  • just test-node (388 passed)
  • just docs (passed; unauthenticated Fern redirect check skipped)
  • just docs-linkcheck (passed; unauthenticated Fern redirect check skipped)
  • uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Generated and verified:

  • Cargo.lock
  • ATTRIBUTIONS-Rust.md
  • Cargo metadata contains no nemo-relay-switchyard package.
  • Repository audit contains no built-in Switchyard crate, CLI feature, service example, or publishing reference.

Where should the reviewer start?

Start with the removed-component diagnostic and activation path in crates/cli/src/server/mod.rs, then review the regression coverage in crates/cli/tests/coverage/shared/plugins_tests.rs and the migration page in docs/configure-plugins/switchyard/about.mdx.

Walkthrough

The PR removes the built-in Switchyard package, CLI support, release configuration, examples, and documentation. Legacy switchyard components now produce a migration diagnostic. Response-cache terminology now uses generic routing-backend terms.

Changes

Built-in Switchyard removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package and release surface
Cargo.toml, .github/workflows/ci.yaml, RELEASING.md, justfile, ATTRIBUTIONS-Rust.md
Workspace membership, dependencies, publication steps, release entries, and attributions no longer include Switchyard packages.
CLI removal and migration validation
crates/cli/Cargo.toml, crates/cli/src/plugins/editor_model.rs, crates/cli/src/server/mod.rs, crates/cli/tests/coverage/shared/server_tests.rs, crates/cli/src/gateway/mod.rs, crates/core/src/error.rs
The CLI no longer edits or registers Switchyard. Configurations containing a switchyard component return RemovedSwitchyard with migration guidance.
Routing backend terminology
crates/adaptive/src/response_cache/key.rs, crates/adaptive/tests/integration/response_cache_tests.rs, crates/adaptive/tests/unit/response_cache/key_tests.rs, docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/response-cache.mdx
Comments, headers, test names, and cache-key guidance use generic routing-backend terminology.
Migration documentation
docs/about-nemo-relay/concepts/plugins.mdx, docs/about-nemo-relay/release-notes/index.mdx, docs/configure-plugins/about.mdx, docs/reference/migration-guides.mdx, fern/docs.yml
Documentation records the removal and directs legacy configurations to the migration guide and Switchyard-owned dynamic plugin.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d51f

This release removes the built-in Switchyard component and requires users to migrate to an external dynamic plugin. The current validation behavior can reject that replacement when it uses the legacy "switchyard" ID, causing migrated configurations to fail startup; this compatibility issue should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

In `@crates/cli/src/server/mod.rs`:
- Around line 908-915: Scope the RemovedSwitchyard validation in the component
validation flow to static components only, so dynamic components with plugin_id
"switchyard" are handled by dynamic activation rather than rejected by the
legacy check. Add coverage for dynamic activation of the switchyard plugin and
keep the existing rejection behavior for legacy static switchyard components.

In `@docs/configure-plugins/adaptive/response-cache.mdx`:
- Around line 402-403: Update the response-cache priority guidance to state that
any routing plugin setting x-nemo-relay-internal-dispatch-backend must have a
lower priority than response_cache.priority, ensuring the backend is included
when cache keys are derived.

Timestamp: 2026-07-28T20:07:29.880Z
Learning: In NeMo Relay (RELAY-509), sanitizer callback failures must be treated as intentional fail-open behavior. When an event/tool (request/response) or LLM (request/response) sanitizer callback fails, the sanitizer chain should retain and publish the last valid event/payload snapshot (rather than dropping/invalidating the data) and log the failure including callback context (e.g., which sanitizer/callback failed and relevant identifiers). Apply this consistently across all sanitizer chains mentioned in the RELAY-509 documentation/migration guide.

Learning: In NeMo Relay first-party plugin registration helpers, treat the documented duplicate-registration `PluginError::RegistrationFailed` result from `register_plugin` as success when registration is intended to be idempotent. Do not locally reclassify this as `PluginError::Conflict`; changing the classification requires a core-wide review of the public API and FFI behavior.

Learning: In NeMo Relay first-party plugin registration helpers, treat the documented duplicate-registration `PluginError::RegistrationFailed` result from `register_plugin` as success when registration is intended to be idempotent. Do not locally reclassify this as `PluginError::Conflict`; changing the classification requires a core-wide review of the public API and FFI behavior.

908-915: Keep the legacy check out of dynamic component validation.

This is the same unresolved finding from the previous review. PluginActivation::initialize appends dynamic plugin IDs to PluginConfig.components before calling this validator. A dynamic plugin with plugin_id == "switchyard" is therefore reported as RemovedSwitchyard before native or worker activation. Apply the removal check only to legacy static components, or verify that the replacement plugin cannot use this ID.

#### Overview

Validate user-authored static components before the CLI synthesizes component specs for dynamic plugins. This prevents a dynamic plugin whose `plugin_id` is `switchyard` from being rejected as the removed legacy static Switchyard component.

This follow-up was rebased onto `main` after #811 merged and now contains only the isolated ordering fix.

- [x] I confirm this contribution is my own work, or I have the right to submit it under this project's license.
- [x] I searched existing issues and open pull requests, and this does not duplicate existing work.

#### Details

- Run built-in component registration and legacy static-component validation against the parsed base `PluginConfig`.
- Append synthesized dynamic component specs only after that static validation succeeds.
- Preserve rejection of enabled and disabled legacy `[[components]] kind = "switchyard"` entries, with direct regression coverage for both states.
- Add regression coverage showing dynamic `plugin_id = "switchyard"` reaches dynamic activation and receives its dynamic manifest diagnostic instead of the legacy migration error.

Validation completed successfully:

- `cargo test -p nemo-relay-cli --lib server::tests::register_and_validate_plugin_components_rejects_legacy_switchyard_components -- --exact` (1 passed)
- `cargo test -p nemo-relay-cli --lib server::tests::plugin_activation_covers_empty_invalid_and_missing_manifest_paths -- --exact` (1 passed after rebase)
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `just build-test-plugin-fixtures`
- `just test-python-plugin` (140 passed)
- `just test-rust`
- `uv run pre-commit run --all-files`

Breaking changes: none. Dynamic plugins continue to validate and activate through their registered plugin kinds; the change only prevents them from being mistaken for user-authored legacy static components.

#### Where should the reviewer start?

Start with the validation ordering in `crates/cli/src/server/mod.rs`, followed by the static and dynamic Switchyard regressions in `crates/cli/tests/coverage/shared/server_tests.rs`.
