feat(inflight): in-flight per-model tracking filter (#374)

[crstrn13]

Closes #374.

What this adds

A new inflight_tracker filter plus an InFlightRegistry that tracks, per model:

• in_flight — requests currently open
• reserved_tokens — sum of each open request's max_tokens / max_output_tokens

On request start the filter increments both; on completion it decrements both, floored at zero. The registry is a pipeline extension (same pattern as ResponseStoreRegistry), so a future in-flight-requests scorer can read it via snapshot().

Design: decrement is driven by Drop, not a response hook

The decrement runs from an InFlightGuard parked in ctx.filter_state, whose Drop fires when the per-request context is torn down. That happens on every terminal path — success, client abort, upstream error, timeout, h2 reset — several of which never reach the response-body hook. Keying the decrement off on_response_body(end_of_stream) would leak the counters upward on aborted streams; the RAII guard cannot. (This mirrors the crate's own ActiveRequestGuard/fd-admission pattern.)

The filter buffers the request body (StreamBuffer) and reads the top-level model + token cap in a single pass. A key nested inside messages content is never surfaced, so a decoy there cannot misattribute the request.

Shared JSON scanner

The top-level JSON key scanner was lifted out of external_metering into a shared filters/src/json_scan.rs and extended with u64_value so the token cap can be read alongside the model. external_metering now imports it; behavior unchanged.

Tested

Unit tests for the registry, the Drop guard, and extraction; scanner tests moved alongside the scanner. Verified end-to-end against a live proxy: single/concurrent requests climb and drain correctly, per-model counters are independent, bodyless requests are skipped, and — the key case — an aborted client request still decrements via Drop.

Still TODO before marking ready

• Functional integration test for examples/configs/inflight-tracking.yaml
• Generated filter docs (cargo xtask generate-filter-docs)
• Open question for maintainers: "write per-model metadata to the datastore" is implemented as an in-process InFlightRegistry pipeline extension (idiomatic; a filter-based scorer reads it via snapshot()). If the intended store is the KvStoreRegistry / needs to be cross-replica, say so and I'll back the registry with a KV backend behind the same API.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an experimental in-flight tracking filter that tracks active requests and reserved tokens by model, using a configurable fallback model when requests omit one.
  • Added an example configuration and documentation explaining how to enable and use in-flight tracking.

📝 Walkthrough

This change adds an experimental inflight_tracker filter. It scans streamed request bodies for model and token-cap fields, updates process-local per-model metrics, and completes accounting when the request guard is dropped. Server pipeline wiring, an example configuration, integration tests, and documentation are also added.

Changes: In-flight tracking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Per-model registry and configuration filters/src/inflight/registry.rs, filters/src/inflight/config.rs, filters/src/inflight/mod.rs, filters/src/lib.rs	InFlightRegistry tracks per-model request counts and reserved-token totals. It provides lookups and snapshots, and exposes a clone through request extensions. Configuration defaults default_model to "unknown" and rejects an empty value.
Streamed field scanning filters/src/inflight/scan.rs	FieldScan reads top-level model and token-cap fields across body chunks, with bounded captures and handling for nested fields and UTF-8 chunk boundaries.
Filter behavior and registration filters/src/inflight/filter.rs, filters/src/register.rs, filters/Cargo.toml, server/Cargo.toml, Makefile	The feature-gated filter scans streamed bodies, records metrics when a registry is available, and completes accounting through a guard. Feature settings and registration expose the filter when enabled.
Server pipeline wiring server/src/commands.rs, server/src/pipelines.rs, server/src/reload.rs, server/src/server.rs, server/src/watcher.rs, server/src/lib.rs, tests/integration/tests/suite/examples/{gcp_adc.rs,intelligent_route_projected_credentials.rs,model_to_provider.rs,provider_route.rs,web_search.rs}, tests/utils/src/proxy.rs	The server retains an InFlightRegistry and passes it through pipeline creation and reload paths. Updated callers and tests provide the registry.
Example and validation examples/configs/inflight-tracking.yaml, examples/README.md, docs/filters/*, tests/integration/Cargo.toml, tests/integration/tests/suite/examples/{inflight_tracking.rs,mod.rs}, Makefile	The example configures the tracker with default_model: "unknown". Documentation describes its tracking, and integration tests check forwarding for requests with and without a top-level model and with a 64 KiB payload.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 80a29

With the experimental filter enabled, bodyless requests are omitted and escaped model names can be misattributed, making its in-process counters inaccurate. No scorer currently consumes these counters, so the remaining risk is bounded, but the metrics should be corrected before relying on them.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b22d9

The new tracking can understate reserved tokens and amplify parsing work for heavily fragmented requests. Tracking is currently passive, which limits immediate impact, but cleanup after interrupted requests is not fully verified.

Retained concerns

• Low · architecture · inferred: The new shared accounting contract can expose false-low reserved-token totals. A streamed prefix ending at max_tokens:1 is accepted before later digits arrive, and scanning stops when the model is also known. Separately, concurrent reservations of u64::MAX and 1 saturate the aggregate; completing the first reports zero reserved tokens while the second remains active. These errors currently affect passive measurements, not a demonstrated admission bypass.
• Medium · security · inferred: Requests whose fields remain unresolved cause the entire growing prefix to be rescanned on each nonempty body callback. If small attacker-controlled fragments reach those callbacks, cumulative parsing work is quadratic up to the 16 KiB cap, creating a process-availability amplification path. This is introduced by the new accumulated-prefix caller; actual transport chunk granularity and exhaustion thresholds were not verified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A requester reaching a configured tracking chain can influence shared model measurements and parsing workload. Measurement effects span requests sharing that registry; potential CPU contention spans the proxy process. No cross-replica propagation is introduced by this registry, and production authentication prerequisites remain unknown.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — Fragmented request input can amplify prefix rescanning, while incomplete or extreme token values can understate shared reservations. These are source-supported attack paths with different outcomes: potential process-availability pressure and inaccurate passive accounting. Neither a production exhaustion threshold nor an access-control bypass was verified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The tracking filter reads the body in Stream mode, retains at most a 16 KiB prefix, and returns Continue rather than making admission decisions. Integration tests assert unchanged forwarding. These controls limit buffering and direct authority but do not make request-derived measurements trustworthy.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Cleanup retains the original model and reservation rather than rereading mutable request data. Conditional removal protects a newly active entry from stale drained-entry removal. The all-terminal-path cleanup guarantee still depends on external context ownership that was unavailable for inspection.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Use incremental parsing with bounded cumulative work, require complete numeric tokens before finalizing extraction, and preserve exact reservation accounting across overflow. Before these measurements acquire routing or admission authority, define canonical model identity and validate interruption/retry cleanup through the actual request lifecycle.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #374 requires a count increment on request start and a token reservation for each request. InFlightTrackerFilter::on_request is a no-op. commit runs only at request-body end and returns when no FieldScan exists, so bodyless requests remain untracked. The InFlightRegistry provides per-model snapshots, and InFlightGuard provides floored cleanup, but these do not satisfy the missing start accounting.

Resolution

Account for every request at request start. Preserve a provisional model and reservation, then reconcile them when body fields become available. Ensure bodyless requests also receive a defined model and zero reservation, or use another design that still increments and later decrements every request.

Review comments at @filters/src/inflight/mod.rs:
- Around line 124-126: Update the empty-body path in on_request_body to register
bodyless requests through InFlightRegistry::on_request_start, including requests

tracking path for nonempty requests.
- Around line 105-107: Update InFlightTrackerFilter::request_body_mode and its
body-processing path so MAX_SCAN_BYTES limits inspection without imposing a
StreamBuffer request-size cap; ensure requests larger than the scan limit
continue to be forwarded without tracking rather than rejected with 413.

Review comments at @filters/src/inflight/registry.rs:
- Around line 64-65: Update on_request_start to enforce a configured cap on
distinct model keys in the registry; when a new model key would exceed the cap,
use default_model instead. Continue using existing keys normally, even when the
registry is at capacity.

Review comments at @filters/src/json_scan.rs:
- Around line 102-107: Update u64_value to reject numeric tokens whose first
character after the digit sequence is a decimal point or exponent marker, while
preserving parsing of valid integers. Correct the
u64_value_rejects_non_integer_values test to expect None for a fractional value.

Review comments at @tests/integration/tests/suite/examples/inflight_tracking.rs:
- Around line 28-84: Update both `example_config_inflight_tracking_passthrough`
and `example_config_inflight_tracking_untracked_request_passthrough` to use a
capturing backend and assert that each forwarded request body is unchanged, so
the tests verify the proxy path rather than only the response. If the in-process
proxy exposes the tracker registry, also assert the relevant registry counts; do
not assume registry access if it is unavailable.

200-200: 🎯 Functional Correctness | ⚡ Quick win

Add examples::inflight_tracking to the feature-enabled integration test filter.

Line 199 enables inflight-tracker-filter. The explicit libtest filter list on Line 200 omits examples::inflight_tracking. The new example test therefore never runs through make test-integration. The first cargo test call does not enable the feature, so the module is compiled out there.

This duplicates the earlier review comment on this Makefile. The list is still unchanged.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Share one InFlightRegistry across the harness instead of creating a throwaway per listener.

Line 153 builds a fresh InFlightRegistry for every listener pipeline. The registry is dropped after the build, so the test harness cannot read its counts. This also differs from the server, which keeps one registry across listeners and reloads. Tests that start the proxy with inflight_tracker cannot assert counter state. Create one registry in build_pingora_server. Pass it into resolve_listener_pipeline. Expose it on ProxyGuard if tests need to read it.

Based on learnings: the integration tests cannot assert registry counts because the registry has no HTTP surface. A harness-held handle would remove that limit.

- Around line 232-250: Update the string handling used by FieldScan so standard
JSON escapes are decoded before comparing keys and capturing model values.
Ensure escaped keys such as `"\u006dodel"` match `model` and escaped values such
as `"a\/b"` are recorded as `a/b`; locate the relevant logic via
`step_in_string` and the `FieldScan` key/model capture flow.

I'm wondering whether core’s tracking can be extended and reused instead of re-inventing some of the logic and leave the ai impl has a fine adapter. I don't want to hold this, but ultimately we coud benefit from a better design. @shaneutt thoughts?

Small followups:

[MAJOR][Missing proof] Counter lifecycle lacks integration assertions. inflight_tracking.rs:6 checks forwarding only. Add assertions for live counts, token sums, cleanup after client abort, and preservation across reload.

[MINOR][Defect] Escaped JSON names are misattributed. scan.rs:271 records a/b as a different model from a/b; escaped field names are missed. Decode strings before matching or storing them. Independently reproduced; an existing comment covers this.

[MINOR][Defect] Split UTF-8 characters trigger unnecessary chunk copies. scan.rs:152 copies the entire next chunk to complete one character. Complete that character in a small buffer, then borrow the remainder.
