Conversation
…l-model guardrail (AISIX-Cloud#1331) Add layer 2 of the design issue's three-layer pipeline between the regex candidate layer and the model judgement: hotword proximity co-occurrence raises a candidate's score, negative patterns lower it, and a double threshold rewrites high scores and releases low scores without a model call; only the uncertain band still pays an inference. Hotwords come in three classes (Chinese triggers, English triggers, EDA tool names) and are decisive only when adjacent to the span; negative patterns cover measurement units, IPv4 shapes, and source locations. Replace the single description-encoded prototype vector with a strategy-selected prototype set (description / sample max-cosine / sample centroid). The committed probe matrix re-run measures the sample strategies opening the hard-positive margin the MVP measured negative: +0.0449 (max) and +0.0246 (centroid) versus -0.0065..-0.0372 across all five description phrasings. Max-cosine ships as the default with a 0.82 gate; per-strategy default thresholds are pinned by the probe. The e2e now drives both hard positives and the hard negatives through a real round trip in both directions, including one live model-band inference for a candidate with no lexical evidence.

…, edge guards) Resolve the independent-audit findings on this PR: - Extend the negative unit class with the timing-unit family the driving corpus is dense in (us/ns/ps/fs, the Hz family, KiB..TiB, spelled durations): a slack value next to a tool name previously rule-masked (e.g. a PrimeTime slack in ns). Spelled duration words are now units, so the word-continuation guard test moved to a non-unit word. - Cap rule-scored candidates per segment at 4096 and release the tail unscored with a warning: per-candidate window re-scanning was a linear CPU amplifier on the async worker (~91 ms/MiB of crafted candidates at the default window) with the request-body limit defaulting to unlimited. - Guard word-bounded hotword matches flush with a clipped window edge: a bisected word could hand the regex a false boundary at the slice rim and, at small custom windows, spuriously rule-mask. - Parse the prototype-strategy env case-insensitively; document the rule-window zero semantics and the IPv4-vs-4-group-version recall tradeoff (kept as-is: weakening the IPv4 class next to adjacent hotwords would mask actual addresses).
Review feedback: '0' parsed as a configured window, but a zero window finds no hotword, so layer 2 silently stops rule-masking while looking configured, and every uncertain candidate burns the shared model budget. Treat zero as a misconfiguration exactly like the lane count: env parse rejects it back to the default, and the scorer constructor clamps defensively for programmatic callers.

Layer ② of the three-layer pipeline from api7/AISIX-Cloud#1331, plus the multi-prototype experiment. Goal: open the negative margin the MVP (#999) measured for single-prototype zero-shot judgement, without letting any hard negative back in.
The MVP ran ① (regex candidates) → ③ (model cosine) directly, so the model carried the entire separation burden alone — a configuration the design never intended. This PR restores the division of labor: candidates with decisive lexical evidence are resolved by rules in microseconds, and only the genuinely ambiguous band pays an inference.
What's in it
Layer ② rule scoring (
local_model/rules.rs, pure text work — no model, no I/O):版本/版本号/升级到/回退到, English triggersversion/release/build/upgrade(d) to, tool namesVirtuoso/Calibre/VCS/Innovus/ICC2/PrimeTime), each counted once. A hotword adjacent to the span (≤8 chars:版本是 12.1,Virtuoso IC6.1.8) is decisive (+2/class); hotwords merely inside the proximity window are weak evidence (+1 flat) — distant co-occurrence never masks on its own, it only routes to the model.s/ms/GB/MB/%/um/nm), IPv4-shaped span, source-location context (top.v:12.1). One negative class outweighs one decisive positive class by design:版本升级后耗时 12.5smust not mask the timing.GUARDRAIL_LOCAL_MODEL_RULE_WINDOW(clamped at 1000). Rationale: it is the tight end of the mainstream DLP range — the driving corpus is dense compile logs where a wide window manufactures accidental co-occurrence — and it equals the ±50-char window layer ③ judges, so both layers reason about the same context.Multi-prototype experiment (
GUARDRAIL_LOCAL_MODEL_PROTOTYPES): the single description-encoded vector becomes a strategy-selected prototype set —description(MVP form),max(one vector per sample sentence, score = max cosine),centroid(L2-renormalized sample mean). Ten synthesized sample sentences cover the two hard-positive shapes (upgrade/rollback phrasing, tool-name+version phrasing, zh+en); tool names and numbers deliberately differ from the probe corpus so the probes measure shape generalization, not string overlap.Report 1 — probe matrix re-run: the margin OPENED
Same 7 probe windows as the MVP sweep (1 acceptance positive, 2 hard positives, 4 hard negatives), scored against 5 single-description phrasings (reconstructing the MVP's scratch sweep, shipped phrasing first — now committed as a repeatable
#[ignore]test) plus the two sample strategies. Hard margin = min(hard positives) − max(hard negatives):EDA 软件的版本号(shipped MVP)软件版本号芯片设计软件的版本号提到了 EDA 工具的具体版本号EDA 软件的版本信息,比如某个工具的版本是 12.1Every description phrasing reproduces the MVP's negative-margin finding. Both sample strategies open it; max-cosine opens it wider (+0.0449) and ships as the default, gate 0.82 (precision-leaning: 0.033 above the negative ceiling). Centroid gets 0.85. The probe asserts the gates sit strictly inside the measured bands, so model/sample drift fails the calibration instead of silently shifting behavior. Caveat stated plainly: the margin is measured on 7 probe windows and 10 synthesized samples — it is evidence the mechanism works, not a claim of field-calibrated thresholds; that remains the evaluation set's job (AISIX-Cloud#1332).
Report 2 — how much does layer ② solve alone? All of it.
With the model completely out of the picture (①+② only), the acceptance matrix result is:
升级到 2022.4andVirtuoso IC6.1.8rewritten3.14159) falls in the model band, and with no model the pipeline's fail-open arm releases it版本adjacent → rule-maskedHonest conclusion: the rules layer alone passes the entire current acceptance matrix; no acceptance criterion in this round requires the model. This lands where the ecosystem's published comparison for isomorphic tasks landed (a mainstream LLM-gateway project benchmarked regex-based vs model-based PII detection and found the regex approach dominant across the board). What the model still owns is exactly what rules cannot see: candidates with no lexical anchor and no negative shape (the
圆周率约等于 3.14159band today; version mentions with no trigger word tomorrow). The multi-prototype result (report 1) is what makes that band judgeable at all — under the MVP's single prototype, no threshold could split it.The unit tests pin this rules-only matrix directly (
rules::testsrun the scorer standalone), so the claim is executable, not narrative.Report 3 — model call rate
Per-segment decisions now log as
rule_masked / rule_passed / model_judged, and the probe corpus quantifies the change:At ~19 ms per inference (p50, one lane), the acceptance-shape request drops from ~40 ms of model time to ~0, and the compile-log-heavy shape (the customer's dominant traffic) resolves entirely in the rules layer unless a candidate is genuinely ambiguous. The per-pass cap of 8 now meters only model-band candidates; an exhausted budget no longer abandons later rule-decided candidates (the MVP
breakbecame a skip).Design notes (repo research rule)

Window default 50 = Macie's default and the tight end of the 50–300 range those engines use (Google caps at 1000 — our clamp).negative_pattern ↓wording; weights make one negative class decisive over one positive class, which reproduces DLP exclusion-rule behavior in the common case while staying score-composable.Scope and size
Same scope pins as the MVP: chat-completions only, one hardcoded category, env-only config, no control-plane surface, no hot reload, no capture groups, no full evaluation set, no MCP. Diff: net +722 lines (865 insertions − 143 deletions) across 3 files; the functional (non-test) additions are ~450 lines including doc comments, the rest is tests (rules unit matrix, probe matrix, end-to-end acceptance matrix) and the e2e extension. Raw insertions run past the brief's ~800-line stop-line while net stays under it — flagged here rather than silently; the overage is entirely test/doc weight, not feature surface.
