+
+### Completion
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3100/v1/completion \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "caller": "my-project",
+    "task_type": "summarize",
+    "input": "Long document text here...",
+    "language": "en"
+  }'
+```
+
+Response:

+}
+```
+
+### Classify input
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3100/v1/classify \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{ "caller": "my-project", "input": "What transceivers work with Cisco ASR9k?" }'
+```
+
+### Health
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:3100/health
+curl http://localhost:3100/health/live   # liveness probe (k8s / Docker)
+curl http://localhost:3100/health/ready  # readiness probe
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Project-specific Client Usage
+
+Install the client in any workspace project:
+
+```bash
+npm install @llm-gateway/client
+```
+
+### TIP (Transceiver Intelligence Platform)
+
+```typescript
+import { createTIPClient } from '@llm-gateway/client';
+
+const llm = createTIPClient(); // reads LLM_GATEWAY_URL from env
+
+const result = await llm.completion({
+  task_type: 'extract_specs',
+  input: rawHtml,
+  context: { vendor: 'Cisco', sku: 'SFP-10G-SR' },
+});
+
+if (result.status === 'approved') {
+  console.log(result.output);
+}
+```
+
+### EO Global Pulse
+
+```typescript
+import { createEOPulseClient } from '@llm-gateway/client';
+
+const llm = createEOPulseClient();
+
+// Safe completion: returns null when gateway is down (graceful degradation)
+const result = await llm.safeCompletion({
+  task_type: 'meeting_summary',
+  input: transcriptText,
+  language: 'de',
+});
+```
+
+### SwitchBlade
+
+```typescript
+import { createSwitchBladeClient } from '@llm-gateway/client';
+
+const llm = createSwitchBladeClient();
+
+const { batch_id } = await llm.batch(
+  tasks.map(t => ({ task_type: 'analyze_alert', input: t.raw })),
+  'http://switchblade.context-x.org/webhooks/llm-batch',
+);
+```
+
+### Custom client (any project)
+
+```typescript
+import { LLMGatewayClient } from '@llm-gateway/client';
+
+const llm = new LLMGatewayClient({
+  caller: 'my-service',
+  baseUrl: process.env.LLM_GATEWAY_URL,
+  timeout: 20_000,
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Deployment to Erik
+
+### One-command deploy (from local Mac)
+
+```bash
+bash deploy/deploy.sh
+
+# Skip local build (if already built):
+bash deploy/deploy.sh --skip-build
+
+# Health check only:
+bash deploy/deploy.sh --health-only
+```
+
+### First-time setup on Erik
+
+```bash
+# SSH to Erik
+ssh root@217.154.82.179
+
+# Run setup script (idempotent — safe to re-run)
+cd /opt/llm-gateway
+bash deploy/setup-erik.sh
+```
+
+### PM2 management
+
+```bash
+ssh erik "pm2 status"
+ssh erik "pm2 logs llm-gateway"
+ssh erik "pm2 logs llm-learning"
+ssh erik "pm2 restart llm-gateway"
+ssh erik "pm2 monit"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Monitoring
+
+### Prometheus metrics
+
+```
+GET http://localhost:3100/metrics
+```
+
+### Grafana
+
+Metrics are scraped by the existing Prometheus instance. Import the dashboard from `deploy/grafana-dashboard.json` (if present).
+
+### Key metrics to watch
+
+| Metric                      | Alert threshold        |
+|-----------------------------|------------------------|
+| `gateway_request_latency_p99` | > 5 000 ms           |
+| `gateway_error_rate`         | > 5%                   |
+| `ollama_queue_depth`         | > 20                   |
+| `learning_feedback_lag`      | > 1 h                  |
+
+### Log locations (Erik)
+
+```
+/var/log/llm-gateway/out.log           # gateway stdout
+/var/log/llm-gateway/error.log         # gateway stderr
+/var/log/llm-gateway/learning-out.log  # learning engine stdout
+/var/log/llm-gateway/learning-error.log
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Cloudflare Tunnel
+
+See `deploy/cloudflare-tunnel.md` for instructions to expose the gateway via `https://llm-gateway.context-x.org`.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Docker (alternative to PM2)
+
+```bash
+# Build and start all services
+cp .env.example .env   # fill in DATABASE_URL
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Check status
+docker compose ps
+docker compose logs llm-gateway
+
+# Stop
+docker compose down

+# Cloudflare Tunnel — LLM Gateway
+
+Add the LLM Gateway to the existing Cloudflare Tunnel on Erik server.
+
+## Current tunnel setup on Erik
+
+Tunnels are managed by `cloudflared` running as a service. Config lives at:
+
+```
+~/.cloudflared/config.yml
+```
+
+or (if installed as root):
+
+```
+/etc/cloudflare-one/config.yml
+```
+
+## Add llm-gateway ingress rule
+
+Edit the config file and add the following **before** the catch-all `http_status:404` rule:
+
+```yaml
+ingress:
+  # ... existing services ...
+
+  - hostname: llm-gateway.context-x.org
+    service: http://localhost:3100
+    originRequest:
+      connectTimeout: 10s
+      noHappyEyeballs: false
+      # Allow large LLM responses to stream without timeout
+      keepAliveTimeout: 130s
+
+  # Catch-all (must be last)
+  - service: http_status:404
+```
+
+## DNS record
+
+In Cloudflare Dashboard → DNS → context-x.org:
+
+| Type  | Name        | Target                        | Proxy |
+|-------|-------------|-------------------------------|-------|
+| CNAME | llm-gateway | `<tunnel-id>.cfargotunnel.com` | ON    |
+
+The tunnel ID can be found with:
+
+```bash
+ssh erik "cloudflared tunnel list"
+```
+
+## Reload tunnel
+
+```bash
+ssh erik "systemctl restart cloudflared"
+# Verify:
+curl https://llm-gateway.context-x.org/health/live
+```
+
+## Verify routing
+
+```bash
+# From any machine:
+curl https://llm-gateway.context-x.org/health
+
+# Expected:
+# {"status":"ok","ollama":{...},"queue":{...}}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The tunnel connects directly to `localhost:3100` on Erik — nginx is **not** required.
+- Cloudflare handles TLS termination and DDoS protection automatically.
+- Rate limiting can be added via Cloudflare WAF rules on top of the gateway's built-in limits.

+  - human_edits: Examples where a human corrected the output — the MOST valuable signal
+  - ban_violations: Phrases that repeatedly appeared despite being banned
+
+  Your analysis process:
+  1. Read ALL examples carefully before drawing conclusions
+  2. Identify SPECIFIC patterns in negative examples (not vague criticism)
+  3. Identify what makes positive examples succeed
+  4. Pay special attention to human_edits — they show exactly what the model gets wrong
+  5. For ban_violations: the current prompt is clearly not explicit enough about these
+
+  When writing the improved prompt:
+  - Be MORE specific, not less — vague instructions produce vague results
+  - Add explicit NEVER/DO NOT rules for patterns seen in negative examples
+  - Add explicit ALWAYS/MUST rules for patterns seen in positive examples
+  - For repeated ban violations: add them explicitly as forbidden phrases
+  - Keep the improved prompt coherent and readable (no robot-speak)

+
+      The fix wasn't sophisticated. It was systematic alerting on RPKI invalid routes combined with PeeringDB cross-referencing.

+
+      Background data / market context:
+      - 800G QSFP-DD prices dropped from $2,400 avg in Q1 2024 to $890 avg in Q4 2025
+      - LightCounting projects 8.2M units shipped in 2026
+      - Major adopters: hyperscalers (AWS, Meta, Google) driving 70% of volume
+      - White-box/third-party share now 34% of 800G market (up from 8% in 2023)
+      - Key form factors: QSFP-DD800 (dominant), OSFP (Nvidia GPU clusters)
+
+      Key points to cover:
+      - Price trajectory and when ISPs can realistically justify 800G
+      - OSFP vs QSFP-DD split
+      - Third-party compatibility status on Arista 7800 and Cisco 8000 series
+    assistant: |
+      ## TL;DR
+      - 800G QSFP-DD prices have fallen 63% in 24 months — from $2,400 to $890 per module
+      - Hyperscalers consume 70% of 2026 volume; ISP deployment is 12-18 months behind
+      - Third-party compatibility on Arista 7800R3 is production-ready; Cisco 8000 requires IOS XR 7.9.1+

+      800G QSFP-DD modules cost $2,400 apiece in Q1 2024. They cost $890 in Q4 2025. That 63% decline in 24 months is not a market anomaly — it is the same curve that 400G ran from 2020 to 2022, compressed by higher manufacturing volumes and aggressive white-box competition.
+
+      LightCounting projects 8.2 million 800G units shipped in 2026. For context: the entire 400G market shipped 6.1 million units in its first full year. 800G is scaling faster, and the pricing will follow.
+
+      The inflection point for ISPs — where 800G port cost per Gbps undercuts 2x400G — is approximately Q3 2026 at current decline rates. Procurement teams planning 3-year refresh cycles should be running lab evaluations now, not waiting for list prices to drop further.
+
+      ## QSFP-DD vs OSFP: The Form Factor Split Is Real
+
+      The market is not converging on a single 800G form factor. QSFP-DD800 dominates carrier and enterprise deployments at roughly 68% of units. OSFP holds 31%, concentrated almost entirely in GPU cluster interconnects — primarily Nvidia InfiniBand and Spectrum-X deployments where the higher power ceiling (15W vs 10W for QSFP-DD) is necessary for 800G-DR8 optics over longer distances.
+
+      If you're deploying Arista 7800, Cisco 8000, or Juniper PTX10000, you are in QSFP-DD territory. If you're building GPU fabric with Nvidia Quantum-2 or Spectrum-4 switches, OSFP is your form factor.
+
+      The overlap is small. Do not let vendor marketing confuse this.
+
+      ## Third-Party Compatibility: Where Things Actually Stand
+
+      Third-party 800G modules now hold 34% market share, up from 8% in 2023. The driving factor: lead times. OEM 800G QSFP-DD modules from Cisco and Juniper carried 16-24 week lead times through most of 2024. Third-party vendors like II-VI (now Coherent), InnoLight, and Hisense shipped in 4-6 weeks.
+
+      Compatibility status as of Q1 2026:
+
+      | Platform | Third-Party Status | Notes |
+      |---|---|---|
+      | Arista 7800R3 | Production-ready | EOS 4.30.0+ required |
+      | Cisco 8201-32FH | Compatible | IOS XR 7.9.1+, no `service unsupported-transceiver` warning |
+      | Cisco 8808 | Compatible | Same IOS XR requirement |
+      | Juniper PTX10016 | Compatible | Junos 23.2R1+, DOM works |
+      | Nokia 7750 SR-s | Partial | SR OS 22.10+ needed, some DOM limitations |
+
+      "Compatible" here means tested and shipping in production networks, not just lab-validated.
+
+      ## Market Numbers
+
+      - Total 800G addressable market 2026: $7.3 billion (Dell'Oro Group estimate)
+      - Hyperscaler share of unit volume: ~70% (AWS, Meta, Google, Microsoft combined)
+      - ISP/carrier share: ~18%
+      - Enterprise: ~12%
+      - Average selling price trend: expect sub-$700 by Q4 2026 for standard 800G-DR1 QSFP-DD
+      - 800G-LR1 (10 km SMF): still at $1,200-1,800 range — coherent DSP cost not yet compressed
+
+      ## Practical Implications
+
+      For network engineers: Start your 800G lab qualification now if you're on Arista 7800 or Cisco 8000. The IOS XR version requirement is the main gotcha — check your current version before ordering. Use DOM monitoring from day one; 800G optics run hotter and the thermal headroom is tighter than 400G.
+
+      For procurement: Build vendor diversity into your 800G BOM. Single-source on OEM at 800G creates lead time risk. Third-party from Coherent or InnoLight with a compatibility verification (TIP database has 2,400+ tested entries) is a defensible procurement strategy.
+
+      The 800G market is past the early-adopter phase. It is now a procurement and logistics problem, not a technology risk problem.

+      SFP-10G-SR: form_factor=SFP+, wavelength=850nm, reach=300m (OM3) / 400m (OM4), fiber=MMF, DOM=yes
+      Compatibility: Cisco Nexus 9300-EX (certified, NX-OS 7.0(3)I7+), Cisco Nexus 9500 (certified), Catalyst 9300 (certified, IOS-XE 16.9+)
+      Note: FLEXOPTIX FXC-SFP10G-SR is a compatible third-party alternative at 40% lower cost, identical specs, tested on same platforms.
+
+      Question: Does SFP-10G-SR work in Cisco Nexus 9K?
+
+      Answer (max 400 words):
+    assistant: |
+      Yes — the SFP-10G-SR works in Cisco Nexus 9K switches, with two platform-specific firmware requirements.
+
+      **Nexus 9300-EX**: Requires NX-OS 7.0(3)I7 or later. The module is Cisco TMG-certified for this platform.
+
+      **Nexus 9500**: Certified from NX-OS 7.0(3)I4 onward. No additional configuration needed.
+
+      **Technical specs**: 850 nm, multimode fiber (MMF), LC duplex connector. Reach is 300 m on OM3 or 400 m on OM4. DOM is supported — you get real-time TX/RX power, temperature, and voltage readings in NX-OS.
+
+      **Third-party option**: FLEXOPTIX FXC-SFP10G-SR is tested and compatible on the same Nexus platforms at approximately 40% lower cost. Same 850 nm / MMF specs, same DOM support.
+
+      **Caveats**:
+      - If you're running NX-OS versions below 7.0(3)I4, upgrade before deploying — the module won't initialize on older firmware.
+      - For Nexus 9500 line cards specifically, verify the line card generation (N9K-X9700 vs N9K-X97xx) — both work, but double-check your specific line card in the compatibility matrix.
+      - OM1/OM2 fiber: reach drops significantly (33 m on OM1). The SFP-10G-SR is not rated for OM1.

+
+      Question: What is the difference between QSFP-100G-CWDM4 and QSFP-100G-LR4?
+
+      Answer (max 400 words):
+    assistant: |
+      Both are 100G QSFP28 modules for single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectors — but they are not interchangeable.
+
+      **QSFP-100G-CWDM4**
+      - Wavelengths: 1271, 1291, 1311, 1331 nm (4 CWDM lanes, 20 nm spacing)
+      - Max reach: 2 km on SMF
+      - Power: typically 2.5–3.5W
+      - Use case: data center interconnect at 500 m to 2 km
+
+      **QSFP-100G-LR4**
+      - Wavelengths: 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, 1309.14 nm (4 LAN-WDM lanes, ~4.5 nm spacing)
+      - Max reach: 10 km on SMF
+      - Power: typically 3.5–4.5W
+      - Use case: campus or metro interconnect at 2–10 km
+
+      **Critical difference**: CWDM4 uses CWDM wavelength plan (20 nm spacing); LR4 uses LAN-WDM (4.5 nm spacing). They are optically incompatible — inserting a CWDM4 in one end and LR4 in the other will not produce a working link.
+
+      **Decision guide**: If your distance is under 2 km, CWDM4 costs less and draws less power. Beyond 2 km, LR4 is your only option in these form factors.

+
+  ## Market Trajectory
+  Current adoption rate, peak adoption projection, time-to-mainstream estimate.
+  Use the Bass model p/q/m parameters to derive these narratives.
+
+  ## Adoption Drivers
+  What is accelerating adoption? Be specific — cite hyperscaler deployments, standards ratification dates, price thresholds.
+
+  ## Inhibitors and Risks
+  What is slowing adoption? Supply chain constraints, firmware maturity, ecosystem fragmentation.
+
+  ## Price Trajectory
+  Current ASP, historical trend, projected 18-month trajectory based on provided data.
+
+  ## Market Size Data
+  Unit shipments, revenue, vendor share if provided. Always cite LightCounting or other sources.
+
+  ## Recommendation for Buyers
+  When to deploy: now, 6 months, 12 months, or wait. Based on data, not opinion.
+
+  Rules:
+  - 800-1200 words
+  - No hype — if technology is overhyped, say so with the evidence
+  - Cite data points explicitly: "LightCounting Q4 2025 report projects..."

+      Q3 2025 shipments: 4.2M units
+      2025 full year revenue: $4.1B
+      ASP trend: $340 (Q1 2024) → $220 (Q3 2025) → $165 projected (Q4 2026)
+      Top vendors: InnoLight 22%, II-VI/Coherent 19%, Hisense 14%, Cisco OEM 11%
+
+      Additional market context:
+      Hyperscaler deployments driving volume. Arista 7800 and Cisco 8000 fully compatible.
+      Third-party share grew from 15% (2023) to 41% (2025).
+    assistant: |
+      ## Technology Adoption Phase: Plateau of Productivity
+
+      400G QSFP-DD has cleared the Slope of Enlightenment and entered the Plateau of Productivity. The Bass model parameters confirm this: p=0.002 (low innovation-driven adoption — no longer early-adopter territory) and q=0.41 (high imitation coefficient — the majority are buying because their peers already did). With 18.2 million units deployed against a total addressable market of 45 million, adoption stands at 40% — past the early majority inflection but with substantial remaining volume to capture.
+
+      The peak adoption quarter was Q2 2025, meaning deployment velocity is now decelerating but volume remains high. This is the typical shape of a mature technology in mainstream deployment.
+
+      ## Market Trajectory
+
+      Q3 2025 shipments of 4.2 million units represent the sustained plateau phase. The Bass model projects 90% market penetration by Q3 2026, meaning the technology is two years from saturation. After that, the remaining market is replacement cycles and new capacity additions, not greenfield adoption.
+
+      Annual revenue at $4.1 billion (2025) will decline as ASP compresses — projected to $3.1 billion in 2027 despite higher unit volumes. This is classic commodity trajectory.
+
+      ## Adoption Drivers
+
+      Three factors sustain current velocity:
+      1. **Hyperscaler capacity expansion**: AWS, Meta, and Google are driving approximately 65% of unit volume, adding 400G ports in AI/GPU cluster deployments where 100G is the bottleneck.
+      2. **Price threshold breach**: At $220 ASP (Q3 2025), 400G is now at cost parity with 2x100G on a per-Gbps basis for most ISP deployments. The economic case is closed.
+      3. **Third-party ecosystem maturity**: Third-party vendors now hold 41% share, providing lead time alternatives (4-6 weeks vs 16-20 weeks for OEM) that removed the supply chain barrier.
+
+      ## Inhibitors and Risks
+
+      The main remaining inhibitor is **firmware fragmentation on the long tail of switch platforms**. Major platforms (Arista 7800, Cisco 8000, Juniper PTX10000) are fully compatible. But mid-market platforms — Extreme Networks, Brocade, older Cisco Catalyst generations — have partial compatibility or require platform-specific firmware updates that create friction.
+
+      ## Price Trajectory
+
+      ASP: $340 (Q1 2024) → $220 (Q3 2025) → $165 projected (Q4 2026).
+
+      The decline rate is approximately 10-12% per quarter, consistent with 100G pricing from 2020-2022. Expect sub-$150 by mid-2027. Procurement teams locking in large volume contracts today at $200-220 are getting fair market pricing — there is no benefit to waiting 12 months unless you can defer deployment entirely.
+
+      ## Market Size Data
+
+      - 2025 shipments: ~16 million units (full year estimate)
+      - 2025 revenue: $4.1B (LightCounting)
+      - Vendor share: InnoLight 22%, Coherent 19%, Hisense 14%, Cisco OEM 11%, others 34%
+      - Third-party share: 41% (up from 15% in 2023)
+
+      ## Recommendation for Buyers
+
+      **Deploy now.** 400G QSFP-DD is fully mainstream. Compatibility is resolved on all major platforms. Price is at or near the economic crossover with 2x100G. Waiting 12 months saves approximately $55 per module — roughly 25% — but delays operational benefits by 12 months and risks running into lead time crunches if market demand spikes.
+
+      Exception: if your platform is not on the major compatibility list (Arista, Cisco 8000, Juniper PTX), verify compatibility before ordering at scale.
