3. Integration Points
3.1 FleetManager Integration
File: /src/core/FleetManager.ts
Changes:
export class FleetManager extends EventEmitter {
private readonly modelRouter?: ModelRouter; // New component
private readonly config: FleetConfig;
constructor(config: FleetConfig) {
super();
// Initialize ModelRouter if feature enabled
if (config.features?.multiModelRouter) {
this.modelRouter = new ModelRouter({
models: config.routing.models,
memoryStore: this.memoryStore,
eventBus: this.eventBus
});
}
}
async spawnAgent(type: string, config: any): Promise<Agent> {

modelRouter: this.modelRouter, // Pass to agent
streamingEnabled: this.config.features?.streaming ?? false
};
const agent = await createAgent(type, agentId, agentConfig, this.eventBus);
return agent;
}
}
Integration Flow:
FleetManager.initialize()
↓
Check features.multiModelRouter
↓
[YES] Create ModelRouter instance
↓
Pass to all agents during spawn
↓
Agents use ModelRouter.selectModel()
3.2 BaseAgent Integration

Changes:
export abstract class BaseAgent extends EventEmitter {
protected readonly modelRouter?: ModelRouter;
protected readonly streamingEnabled: boolean;
constructor(config: BaseAgentConfig) {
super();
this.modelRouter = config.modelRouter;
this.streamingEnabled = config.streamingEnabled ?? false;

4.2 Cost Tracking Data Pipeline
Model API Response
↓
Extract Token Usage:
- input_tokens
- output_tokens
- cached_tokens
↓
CostTracker.track(selection, usage)
↓
Calculate Cost:
cost = (input_tokens / 1000) * model.costPer1kTokens.input +
(output_tokens / 1000) * model.costPer1kTokens.output
↓
Create CostEntry:
{
modelName,
timestamp,
cost,
tokens: { input, output },
taskType,
agentId
}
↓
SwarmMemoryManager.store(
key: 'routing/costs/<timestamp>-<taskId>',
value: costEntry,
partition: 'coordination',
ttl: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 // 30 days
)
↓
Update Aggregated Metrics:
- Daily cost total
- Model usage stats
- Budget consumption %
↓
EventBus.emit('cost.tracked', {
modelName,
cost,
budgetRemaining
})
4.3 Streaming Response Flow
Agent.executeTaskStreaming()
↓
StreamingMCPTool.executeStreaming(params, callbacks)
↓
Initialize Stream:
- Create stream ID
- Set up buffers
- Register callbacks
↓
API Call (SSE connection)
↓
[Event Loop]
↓
Receive Chunk
↓
StreamManager.onChunk(chunk)
↓
BufferManager.add(chunk)
↓
Check Buffer State:
- Buffer < threshold: Continue
- Buffer ≥ threshold: Apply backpressure
↓
Emit Callback:
callbacks.onChunk({
id: streamId,
sequence: chunkNumber,
data: chunkData,
partial: true,
timestamp: Date.now()
})
↓
Update Progress:
callbacks.onProgress({
percent: estimatedProgress,
tokensProcessed,
estimatedRemaining
})
↓
[Repeat until stream ends]
↓
Stream Complete
↓
Assemble Final Result:
- Concatenate all chunks
- Validate completeness
- Extract metadata
↓
Emit Complete:
callbacks.onComplete({
data: assembledResult,
metadata: {
totalChunks,
totalTokens,
duration,
model
}
})
↓
Clean Up:
- Clear buffers
- Close stream
- Persist final state
5. Memory Architecture
5.1 Memory Partitions
The SwarmMemoryManager will use the following partitions for router and streaming data:
// Partition Structure
const MEMORY_PARTITIONS = {
// Routing data
ROUTING_COSTS: 'routing/costs', // TTL: 30 days
ROUTING_SELECTIONS: 'routing/selections', // TTL: 7 days
ROUTING_STATS: 'routing/stats', // TTL: never
// Streaming data
STREAMING_SESSIONS: 'streaming/sessions', // TTL: 1 hour
STREAMING_BUFFER: 'streaming/buffer', // TTL: 5 minutes
STREAMING_METADATA: 'streaming/metadata', // TTL: 24 hours
// Performance metrics
PERFORMANCE_ROUTER: 'performance/router', // TTL: 7 days
PERFORMANCE_STREAMING: 'performance/streaming' // TTL: 7 days
};
5.2 Memory Keys Schema
// Cost tracking keys
'routing/costs/<timestamp>-<taskId>' → CostEntry
'routing/costs/daily/<YYYY-MM-DD>' → DailyCostSummary
'routing/costs/model/<modelName>/total' → number
// Model selection history
'routing/selections/<taskId>' → ModelSelection
'routing/selections/stats/<modelName>' → ModelStats
// Streaming session state
'streaming/sessions/<streamId>' → StreamSession
'streaming/buffer/<streamId>/<sequence>' → StreamChunk
'streaming/metadata/<streamId>' → StreamMetadata
// Performance metrics
'performance/router/latency/<modelName>' → LatencyMetrics
'performance/streaming/throughput/<streamId>' → ThroughputMetrics
5.3 Memory Access Patterns
// Write operations
await memoryStore.store(
'routing/costs/daily/2025-10-16',
costSummary,
{
partition: 'coordination',
ttl: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60, // 30 days
owner: 'system',
accessLevel: AccessLevel.SWARM
}
);
// Read operations
const costs = await memoryStore.query(
'routing/costs/%',
{
partition: 'coordination',
agentId: 'cost-tracker',
isSystemAgent: true
}
);
// Batch cleanup
await memoryStore.cleanExpired(); // Removes TTL-expired entries

9. Migration Strategy
9.1 Backward Compatibility Guarantees
Zero Breaking Changes:
- Default Behavior: Without feature flags, system behaves exactly as v1.0.4
- Graceful Degradation: If routing fails, fall back to default model
- Opt-In Features: All new features require explicit enablement
- Configuration Compatibility: Existing configs work without modification
9.2 Migration Path
Phase 1: Add Infrastructure (v1.0.5-alpha)
- Add ModelRouter, StreamingMCPTool, CostTracker classes
- Add feature flag system
- Add configuration schema
- All features DISABLED by default
- 100% backward compatible
Phase 2: Internal Testing (v1.0.5-beta)
- Enable features in development environment
- Test routing accuracy
- Test streaming performance
- Test cost tracking
- Collect metrics
Phase 3: Gradual Rollout (v1.0.5)
- Enable for specific agent types first
- Monitor performance and costs
- Collect feedback
- Address issues
- Enable globally when stable
Phase 4: Default Enablement (v1.1.0)
- Change defaults to enabled
- Provide migration guide
- Support legacy mode for conservative users
9.3 Configuration Migration Script
/**
* Migrate v1.0.4 config to v1.0.5 format
*/
export function migrateConfig(oldConfig: OldFleetConfig): FleetConfig {
const newConfig: FleetConfig = {
...oldConfig,
// Add feature flags (disabled by default)

},
// Add routing config if AI model was configured

timeoutMs: 30000,
retryConfig: {
maxRetries: 3,
backoffMs: 1000,
backoffMultiplier: 2
}
}
};
return newConfig;
}
9.4 Rollback Plan
If issues arise during rollout:
- Immediate: Set feature flags to
falsein configuration - Within 5 minutes: System reverts to v1.0.4 behavior
- No data loss: All existing functionality preserved
- No downtime: Hot reload of configuration
# Emergency rollback
features:
multiModelRouter: false # Disable routing
streaming: false # Disable streaming
# System immediately reverts to single-model synchronous mode
10. Performance Characteristics
10.1 Latency Analysis
| Operation | Current (v1.0.4) | With Routing (v1.0.5) | With Streaming (v1.0.5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task submission | 5ms | 15ms (+10ms) | 15ms (+10ms) |
| Model selection | N/A | 50-100ms | 50-100ms |
| First response | 2000ms | 2000ms | 500ms (first chunk) |
| Complete response | 2000ms | 2000ms | 2000ms (same total) |
| Cost calculation | N/A | 5ms | 5ms |
| Memory write | 10ms | 15ms (+5ms) | 20ms (+10ms) |
Analysis:
- Routing adds ~100ms overhead per task (acceptable)
- Streaming reduces perceived latency by 75% (first chunk)
- Total execution time unchanged
- Memory overhead minimal
10.2 Throughput Metrics
| Metric | Current | With Routing | With Streaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tasks/second | 100 | 90-95 | 95-100 |
| Concurrent tasks | 50 | 50 | 75 (+50% with streaming) |
| Memory usage | 512MB | 600MB (+17%) | 700MB (+37%) |
| Network bandwidth | 10 MB/s | 10 MB/s | 12 MB/s (+20%) |
Analysis:
- Minor throughput reduction (5-10%) due to routing overhead
- Streaming enables higher concurrency
- Memory increase acceptable for benefits gained
10.3 Scalability Characteristics
Horizontal Scaling:
- ModelRouter is stateless (scales linearly)
- StreamingMCPTool is per-agent (scales with agents)
- CostTracker uses memory store (scales with memory)
Vertical Scaling:
- Routing: O(n) where n = number of models (typically 3-5)
- Streaming: O(1) memory per stream
- Cost tracking: O(1) per tracked event
Bottlenecks:
- SwarmMemoryManager writes (can be batched)
- Model API rate limits (handled by backoff)
- Buffer overflow in streaming (handled by backpressure)
11. Security Considerations
11.1 API Key Management
Requirements:
- Store API keys in environment variables or secure vault
- Never log API keys
- Rotate keys periodically
- Support per-model key configuration
Implementation:
interface ModelConfig {
// ... other config ...
credentials: {
apiKey: string; // Read from process.env or vault
endpoint?: string; // Optional custom endpoint
};
}
// Usage
const apiKey = process.env[`${model.provider.toUpperCase()}_API_KEY`];
if (!apiKey) {
throw new SecurityError(`API key not found for ${model.provider}`);
}
11.2 Cost Budget Protection
Budget Enforcement:
async selectModel(task: QETask): Promise<ModelSelection> {
const complexity = await this.complexityAnalyzer.analyze(task);
// Check budget BEFORE selection
const candidates = this.getAvailableModels(complexity);
const affordableCandidates = await this.filterByBudget(candidates);
if (affordableCandidates.length === 0) {
throw new BudgetExceededError('No affordable models available');
}
return this.selectBestModel(affordableCandidates, complexity);
}
Budget Alerts:
- Alert at 80% daily budget
- Alert at 90% monthly budget
- Block requests at 100% budget (configurable)
11.3 Streaming Security
Protections:
- Timeout: 30s default (prevents hung streams)
- Buffer Limits: 1024 chunks max (prevents memory DoS)
- Backpressure: Throttle fast producers
- Validation: Verify chunk integrity
class BufferManager {
private readonly maxBufferSize: number;
add(chunk: StreamChunk): void {
if (this.buffer.length >= this.maxBufferSize) {
throw new BufferOverflowError('Stream buffer full');
}
if (!this.validateChunk(chunk)) {
throw new ValidationError('Invalid chunk received');
}
this.buffer.push(chunk);
}
}
11.4 Access Control
Memory Partition Access:
// Cost data: System-level access only
await memoryStore.store(
'routing/costs/entry',
costData,
{
owner: 'system',
accessLevel: AccessLevel.SYSTEM, // Most restrictive
partition: 'coordination'
}
);
// Model selections: Swarm-level access
await memoryStore.store(
'routing/selections/task-123',
selection,
{
owner: agentId,
accessLevel: AccessLevel.SWARM,
partition: 'coordination'
}
);

Streaming Flow
test('streams responses with proper callbacks', async () => { const chunks: StreamChunk[] = []; let completed = false; await tool.executeStreaming(params, { onChunk: (chunk) => chunks.push(chunk), onComplete: () => { completed = true; } }); expect(chunks.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); expect(completed).toBe(true); }); -
Cost Tracking
test('tracks costs and enforces budget', async () => { const tracker = new CostTracker({ dailyLimit: 10.00 }); // Consume 80% of budget await tracker.track(selection1, { input: 10000, output: 5000 }); // Should alert at 80% expect(tracker.checkBudget()).toEqual({ status: 'warning', percentUsed: 80 }); // Should block at 100% await expect( tracker.track(selection2, { input: 20000, output: 10000 }) ).rejects.toThrow('Budget exceeded'); });
