 {"id":"ge-hch.5.20.1","title":"Backend API Relay for LLM Requests","description":"Implement a backend relay service to proxy LLM API requests, solving CORS limitations and enabling usage telemetry.\n\n## Problem\n\nBrowser-side requests to enterprise AI APIs (Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) are blocked by CORS policies. Currently, only OpenAI's API supports browser CORS. This limits the AI Writer to OpenAI or requires users to run local CORS proxies for development.\n\n## Solution\n\nImplement a lightweight backend relay that:\n1. Receives requests from the browser frontend\n2. Forwards them to the configured LLM endpoint (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, etc.)\n3. Returns responses with proper CORS headers\n4. Collects anonymized usage telemetry\n\n## Benefits\n\n- **Universal API support**: Works with any LLM provider regardless of CORS policy\n- **Usage telemetry**: Enables collection of anonymized usage data for analysis\n- **API key security**: Keys can be stored server-side instead of in browser localStorage\n- **Rate limiting**: Can implement server-side rate limiting and quotas\n- **Cost tracking**: Can track API usage costs across users\n\n## Implementation Options\n\n1. **Azure Function** - Serverless, scales automatically, Azure-native\n2. **Cloudflare Worker** - Edge deployment, low latency, simple setup\n3. **Node.js server** - Full control, can be containerized\n\n## Acceptance Criteria\n\n- [ ] Relay accepts POST requests from frontend with LLM request payload\n- [ ] Relay forwards requests to configured LLM endpoint\n- [ ] Relay returns responses with CORS headers for allowed origins\n- [ ] Relay logs anonymized telemetry (request count, latency, model used, error rates)\n- [ ] Frontend can be configured to use relay URL instead of direct API\n- [ ] Documentation for deployment and configuration\n\n## Files/Paths\n\n- `server/` or `functions/` - Backend relay implementation\n- `web/demo/js/llm-adapter.js` - Update to support relay mode\n- `web/demo/js/api-key-manager.js` - Update settings UI for relay configuration\n- `docs/dev/backend-relay.md` - Deployment documentation\n\n## Discovered From\n\nge-hch.5.14 (AI Writer Implementation) - CORS limitation discovered during Azure OpenAI testing","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"feature","created_at":"2026-01-16T15:37:15.759001241-08:00","created_by":"rgardler","updated_at":"2026-01-16T15:37:15.759001241-08:00","labels":["stage:idea"],"dependencies":[{"issue_id":"ge-hch.5.20.1","depends_on_id":"ge-hch.5.20","type":"parent-child","created_at":"2026-01-16T15:37:15.761739299-08:00","created_by":"rgardler"}]}

Verify artifacts\n   - Confirm artifacts with names/paths similar to `replay-artifacts-<run_id>` or `playwright-report-<run_id>` are present.\n   - List artifact names, sizes, and retention-days configured.\n   - Download one representative artifact (e.g., playwright-report/index.html or replay log) and verify it opens locally.\n4.

Prompts should include explicit guardrails (max length, allowed tags, prohibited content).\n- Optional seed: numeric seed for deterministic generation.\n- Config: temperature (default 0.6), max_tokens, model endpoint (OpenAI-compatible URL), provenance fields (author, branch).\n\nOutput contract\n- Primary artifact: web/stories/generated/<slug>.ink (Ink file). Requirements:\n  - Must begin with a metadata header (Ink comment lines or special tag) containing: title, author, version, seed.\n  - Include telemetry tags at logical points: e.g., // @telemetry:story_start, // @telemetry:choice_selected, // @telemetry:smoke_trigger\n  - Use clear choice markers so InkJS renders choices normally.\n- Companion manifest JSON: web/stories/generated/<slug>.json with schema:\n  - { title: string, author: string, prompt: string, seed: number, version: string, safe_rating: string }\n\nValidation steps (agent harness)\n1) Parse run: use InkJS parser/load to ensure no parse errors.\n2) Runtime smoke: load the story in a minimal runner to ensure it reaches first choice and that telemetry tags exist.\n3) Golden-path test: the generated story should complete in a scripted run or at least reach a defined end-state without exceptions (optional for first pass).\n\nDeterminism & seeding\n- Agent must support deterministic mode: given the same prompt + seed + model config, output should be repeatable.\n- The seed value is recorded in manifest.\n\nSafety and guardrails\n- Output must be post-processed to remove content violating safety constraints. Agent must include a sanitization pass and a safety rating in manifest.\n\nExample prompt templates\n- Short template (recommended default):\n  Write a short interactive Ink story (~200-400 words) suitable for browser play. Include branching choices (2-3 choices) and insert telemetry markers: // @telemetry:story_start at the start, // @telemetry:choice_selected before each choice, and // @telemetry:smoke_trigger as a tag on a single passage. Output only a single .ink file content.\n\n- Long template (detailed):\n  You are an Ink author. Create a 5-8 node interactive story suitable for a 10-15 minute play session. Include: a title, 2-3 branching choices per decision point, an explicit passage marked with // @telemetry:smoke_trigger (include duration=3s and intensity=medium as a comment), and ensure all choices are labeled for machine parsing. Keep language safe for ages 13+. Return only the Ink source and ensure it compiles.\n\nTesting expectations\n- Unit tests validate manifest schema and presence of telemetry tags.\n- E2E tests run validate-story then run the replay harness if provided.\n\nAgent run CLI\n- scripts/generate_story.js --template short|long --seed 1234 --out web/stories/generated\n\nOpen questions\n- Model selection: default to OpenAI-compatible endpoint with online auth. Confirm model families allowed.\n\n","created_at":"2026-01-08T03:53:03Z"},{"id":171,"issue_id":"ge-hch.5.1.1","author":"rgardler","text":"Auto-closing per status-skill recommendation: no linked branches/PRs and not an epic.

 {"id":"ge-hch.5.20.1","title":"Backend API Relay for LLM Requests","description":"Implement a backend relay service to proxy LLM API requests, solving CORS limitations and enabling usage telemetry.\n\n## Problem\n\nBrowser-side requests to enterprise AI APIs (Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) are blocked by CORS policies. Currently, only OpenAI's API supports browser CORS. This limits the AI Writer to OpenAI or requires users to run local CORS proxies for development.\n\n## Solution\n\nImplement a lightweight backend relay that:\n1. Receives requests from the browser frontend\n2. Forwards them to the configured LLM endpoint (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, etc.)\n3. Returns responses with proper CORS headers\n4. Collects anonymized usage telemetry\n\n## Benefits\n\n- **Universal API support**: Works with any LLM provider regardless of CORS policy\n- **Usage telemetry**: Enables collection of anonymized usage data for analysis\n- **API key security**: Keys can be stored server-side instead of in browser localStorage\n- **Rate limiting**: Can implement server-side rate limiting and quotas\n- **Cost tracking**: Can track API usage costs across users\n\n## Implementation Options\n\n1. **Azure Function** - Serverless, scales automatically, Azure-native\n2. **Cloudflare Worker** - Edge deployment, low latency, simple setup\n3. **Node.js server** - Full control, can be containerized\n\n## Acceptance Criteria\n\n- [ ] Relay accepts POST requests from frontend with LLM request payload\n- [ ] Relay forwards requests to configured LLM endpoint\n- [ ] Relay returns responses with CORS headers for allowed origins\n- [ ] Relay logs anonymized telemetry (request count, latency, model used, error rates)\n- [ ] Frontend can be configured to use relay URL instead of direct API\n- [ ] Documentation for deployment and configuration\n\n## Files/Paths\n\n- `server/` or `functions/` - Backend relay implementation\n- `web/demo/js/llm-adapter.js` - Update to support relay mode\n- `web/demo/js/api-key-manager.js` - Update settings UI for relay configuration\n- `docs/dev/backend-relay.md` - Deployment documentation\n\n## Discovered From\n\nge-hch.5.14 (AI Writer Implementation) - CORS limitation discovered during Azure OpenAI testing","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"feature","created_at":"2026-01-16T15:37:15.759001241-08:00","created_by":"rgardler","updated_at":"2026-01-16T15:37:15.759001241-08:00","labels":["stage:idea"],"dependencies":[{"issue_id":"ge-hch.5.20.1","depends_on_id":"ge-hch.5.20","type":"parent-child","created_at":"2026-01-16T15:37:15.761739299-08:00","created_by":"rgardler"}]}
