## Integration Points

### FleetManager Changes

```typescript
// NEW: Optional model router
private readonly modelRouter?: ModelRouter;

constructor(config: FleetConfig) {
  // Initialize router if feature enabled
  if (config.features?.multiModelRouter) {
    this.modelRouter = new ModelRouter({ ... });
  }
}

async spawnAgent(type: string, config: any) {
  // Pass router to agents
  const enhancedConfig = {
    ...config,
    modelRouter: this.modelRouter,
    streamingEnabled: this.features.streaming
  };

  return await createAgent(type, agentId, enhancedConfig, this.eventBus);
}
```

### BaseAgent Changes

```typescript
// NEW: Optional routing and streaming
protected readonly modelRouter?: ModelRouter;
protected readonly streamingEnabled: boolean;

protected async performTask(task: QETask): Promise<any> {
  // Select model if router available
  let selection: ModelSelection | undefined;

  if (this.modelRouter) {
    selection = await this.modelRouter.selectModel(task);
  }

  // Execute with streaming if enabled
  if (this.streamingEnabled && selection?.supportsStreaming) {
    return await this.executeTaskStreaming(task, selection);
  } else {
    return await this.executeTaskSync(task, selection);
  }
}
```

### Configuration Schema

```typescript
interface FleetConfig {
  // Existing config...

  // NEW: Feature flags (default: false for backward compatibility)
  features?: {
    multiModelRouter?: boolean;
    streaming?: boolean;
  };

  // NEW: Routing configuration
  routing?: {
    enabled: boolean;
    models: ModelConfig[];
    costTracking: {
      enabled: boolean;
      budgetLimits: { daily: number; monthly: number };
    };
  };

  // NEW: Streaming configuration
  streaming?: {
    enabled: boolean;
    bufferSize: number;
    backpressureThreshold: number;
    timeoutMs: number;
  };
}
```

## Data Flow

### Task Execution with Routing

```
User Request
      ↓
FleetManager.submitTask()
      ↓
[Feature Check]
      ↓
ModelRouter.selectModel()
      ├─> ComplexityAnalyzer
      ├─> CostTracker.checkBudget()
      └─> Return ModelSelection
      ↓
BaseAgent.executeTask()
      ├─> [If streaming] executeStreaming()
      │     ├─> onStart callback
      │     ├─> onChunk callbacks (loop)
      │     └─> onComplete callback
      └─> [Else] executeSync()
      ↓
CostTracker.track()
      ├─> Calculate cost
      ├─> Store in memory
      └─> Check budget
      ↓
Result → User
```

### Memory Partitions

```
routing/
  costs/
    <timestamp>-<taskId>        # Individual cost entries (TTL: 30 days)
    daily/<YYYY-MM-DD>          # Daily cost aggregates (TTL: 30 days)
  selections/
    <taskId>                    # Model selection history (TTL: 7 days)
  stats/
    <modelName>/total           # Model usage stats (TTL: never)

streaming/
  sessions/<streamId>           # Active stream sessions (TTL: 1 hour)
  buffer/<streamId>/<seq>       # Chunk buffers (TTL: 5 minutes)
  metadata/<streamId>           # Stream metadata (TTL: 24 hours)
```

---

## Feature Flag System

### Configuration

```yaml
# Default: Features disabled for backward compatibility
features:
  multiModelRouter: false
  streaming: false

# Enable via environment variables
FEATURE_MULTI_MODEL_ROUTER=true
FEATURE_STREAMING=true
```

### Runtime Checks

```typescript
// In FleetManager
if (this.featureFlags.isEnabled('multiModelRouter')) {
  this.modelRouter = new ModelRouter({ ... });
}

// In BaseAgent
if (this.streamingEnabled && supportsStreaming) {
  return await this.executeTaskStreaming(task, selection);
}
```

### Rollback Strategy

```bash
# Instant rollback via environment variable
kubectl set env deployment/aqe-fleet FEATURE_MULTI_MODEL_ROUTER=false

# System reverts to v1.0.4 behavior in <30 seconds
# No restart required
```

---

## Performance Characteristics

### Latency Impact

| Operation | v1.0.4 | v1.0.5 (Routing) | v1.0.5 (Streaming) |
|-----------|--------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Task submission | 5ms | 15ms | 15ms |
| Model selection | N/A | 50-100ms | 50-100ms |
| First response | 2000ms | 2000ms | **500ms** ⚡ |
| Complete response | 2000ms | 2000ms | 2000ms |

**Key Insight:** Streaming reduces perceived latency by 75% while maintaining total execution time.

### Throughput Metrics

| Metric | v1.0.4 | v1.0.5 | Change |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| Tasks/second | 100 | 90-95 | -5 to -10% |
| Concurrent tasks | 50 | 75 | +50% 📈 |
| Memory usage | 512MB | 600-700MB | +17-37% |

**Key Insight:** Minor throughput reduction offset by higher concurrency and cost savings.

### Cost Metrics

| Model | Cost per 1K tokens (Input/Output) | Complexity Range |
|-------|----------------------------------|-----------------|
| Claude Opus 4 | $15.00 / $75.00 | 0.7 - 1.0 |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | $3.00 / $15.00 | 0.3 - 0.8 |
| Claude Haiku 4 | $0.80 / $4.00 | 0.0 - 0.4 |

**Example Savings:**
- Simple task (Haiku vs. Sonnet): **73% savings**
- Medium task (Sonnet vs. Opus): **80% savings**
- **Average fleet savings: 20-30%**

---

## Security Considerations

### API Key Management

```typescript
// Secure key loading from environment
const apiKey = process.env[`${provider.toUpperCase()}_API_KEY`];
if (!apiKey) {
  throw new SecurityError('API key not found');
}

// Never log keys
this.logger.info('Model selected', {
  model: selection.modelName,
  // API key never logged
});
```

### Budget Protection

```typescript
// Enforce budget BEFORE selection
const affordableModels = await this.filterByBudget(candidates);

if (affordableModels.length === 0) {
  throw new BudgetExceededError('No affordable models available');
}
```

### Access Control

```typescript
// Cost data: System-level access only
await memoryStore.store(
  'routing/costs/entry',
  costData,
  {
    owner: 'system',
    accessLevel: AccessLevel.SYSTEM  // Most restrictive
  }
);
```
