micro_routing - Dynamic Routing (Placeholder Implementation)

Placeholder implementation for dynamic routing in micro-neural networks

⚠️ This crate contains mostly stub implementations and placeholder code. The routing functionality described in the documentation is not yet implemented. This serves as a design specification and API outline for future development.

⚠️ Current Implementation Status

✅ What Exists

• Basic Type Definitions: Empty struct definitions for routing components
• Default Implementations: Minimal default trait implementations
• Module Structure: Organized module layout for future implementation
• Integration: Basic integration with micro_core types

❌ What's Missing (Most Everything)

• Actual Routing Logic: No real routing algorithms implemented
• Context Management: Context tracking is stub code only
• Neural Gating: No neural network-based routing
• Performance Optimization: No actual performance considerations
• Load Balancing: Not implemented
• Rule-Based Routing: Not implemented

📦 Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
micro_routing = { path = "../micro_routing" }
micro_core = { path = "../micro_core" }

🏗️ Current API (Placeholder)

Basic Types

use micro_routing::{DynamicRouter, RouterConfig, RoutingDecision};

// All of these are empty structs with default implementations
let router = DynamicRouter::default();
let config = RouterConfig::default();
let decision = RoutingDecision::default();

// No actual functionality implemented

Integration with micro_core

use micro_routing::{RootVector, ROOT_DIM, MicroNet};
use micro_core::{Error, Result};

// Re-exports work, but no routing logic exists
let vector = RootVector::zero();
println!("Vector has {} dimensions", ROOT_DIM);

🎯 Planned Architecture (Not Implemented)

The following describes the intended design, not the current implementation:

1. Dynamic Router System

// PLANNED API (not implemented)
use micro_routing::{Router, RoutingStrategy};

let mut router = Router::new(RoutingStrategy::Hybrid);
router.register_agent("reasoning", Box::new(reasoning_agent));
let plan = router.route(&input, &context); // Would return routing decision

2. Context Management

// PLANNED API (not implemented)
use micro_routing::{Context, ContextManager};

let mut context = Context::new();
context.add_interaction("agent_id", success_score);
let context_vector = context.get_context_vector();

3. Gating Networks

// PLANNED API (not implemented)
use micro_routing::{GatingNetwork, GatingConfig};

let config = GatingConfig {
    input_dim: 32,
    hidden_dim: 64,
    num_agents: 8,
    temperature: 2.0,
};

let mut gating_net = GatingNetwork::new(config);
let probabilities = gating_net.forward(&input);

📋 Implementation Roadmap

Phase 1: Core Routing

• Create context tracking and management
• Add execution plan generation

Phase 2: Advanced Routing

• Implement neural gating networks
• Add context-aware routing with history
• Create hybrid routing strategies
• Add performance metrics and monitoring

Phase 3: Optimization

• Load balancing across agents
• Parallel execution planning
• Caching and optimization
• Integration with micro_swarm orchestrator

📊 Intended Performance Characteristics

These are planned targets, not current performance:

🧪 Testing

# Currently only tests basic compilation and default implementations
cargo test

# No meaningful functionality to test yet
cargo test --features integration-tests

⚠️ Known Issues

1. No Functionality: Almost everything is placeholder code
2. Compilation Only: Code compiles but doesn't do meaningful work
3. Missing Dependencies: Some planned features need additional crates
4. API Changes: API will likely change significantly during implementation
5. No Error Handling: Proper error types not yet defined

🤝 Contributing

This crate needs significant development work. Priority contributions:

1. Core Routing Logic: Implement actual routing algorithms
2. Context Management: Build working context tracking
3. Neural Networks: Add gating network implementations
4. Testing: Create comprehensive test suite
5. Documentation: Update docs to match implementation

Implementation Guidelines

When implementing routing functionality:

• Follow the existing type signatures where possible
• Integrate with micro_core's RootVector and error types
• Maintain no_std compatibility where feasible
• Add comprehensive tests for each component
• Document all public APIs with examples
