Learning: In the BifrostError struct, the Error field is a struct (not a pointer), so accessing bifrostErr.Error.Message, bifrostErr.Error.Code, and bifrostErr.Error.Type is safe without nil checks on the Error field itself. The Code and Type fields are of type *string.

Learning: In core/bifrost.go, the count parameter in RunPostHooks method is intentionally kept separate from p.executedPreHooks to support circuit breaker plugins that may need to trigger PostHooks for only a subset of executed plugins when detecting failure conditions mid-execution.

418-430: Well-designed fallback control mechanism!The
AllowFallbacksfield is properly implemented as a pointer to distinguish between three states (nil/true/false), and the documentation clearly explains the behavior for plugin developers. The default behavior (nil = true) maintains resilience while giving plugins explicit control when needed.core/bifrost.go (1)
574-579: Consistent fallback control implementation!The
AllowFallbackscheck is correctly implemented in bothTextCompletionRequestandChatCompletionRequest. The logic properly treatsnilastrue(default behavior) and only skips fallbacks when explicitly set tofalse.Also applies to: 723-727
docs/plugins.md (3)
51-55: Excellent documentation of the PluginShortCircuit type!The struct definition clearly shows the mutual exclusivity between Response and Error fields. This matches the actual implementation and helps plugin developers understand the concept.
253-260: Excellent fallback decision matrix!This table clearly communicates when to use different
AllowFallbacksvalues based on the error type. It provides practical guidance that will help plugin developers make the right decisions.
551-603: Comprehensive plugin testing example!The test structure demonstrates best practices with table-driven tests covering all scenarios including short-circuit behavior and fallback control. This will help plugin developers write thorough tests.

74-90: Clean implementation of short-circuit mechanism in PreHooks!The updated
RunPreHookscorrectly handles the newPluginShortCircuitreturn type and maintains proper tracking of executed plugins for pipeline symmetry.

- Clear architectural overview and lifecycle diagrams
- Practical examples demonstrating short-circuit and fallback control
- Comprehensive testing guidelines and best practices
- Helpful troubleshooting guide
This will be invaluable for plugin developers.

…docs enhancement (#105) # Enhanced Plugin System with Short-Circuit Control and Fallback Management This PR introduces a significant enhancement to the Bifrost plugin system, providing more control over request flow and error handling. The key improvements include: 1. **New PluginShortCircuit Type**: Replaces direct response returns with a structured approach that allows plugins to return either a response or an error when short-circuiting. 2. **Fallback Control Mechanism**: Adds an `AllowFallbacks` field to `BifrostError`, giving plugins explicit control over whether fallback providers should be attempted when errors occur: - `AllowFallbacks = &true`: Try fallback providers - `AllowFallbacks = &false`: Return error immediately, no fallbacks - `AllowFallbacks = nil`: Default to allowing fallbacks for resilience 3. **Improved Error Handling**: The system now properly processes short-circuit errors and respects fallback preferences in both text and chat completion flows. 4. **Comprehensive Documentation**: Completely rewrites the plugin documentation with detailed explanations, diagrams, examples, and best practices for plugin development. These changes enable more sophisticated plugin behaviors such as: - Authentication plugins that can block requests without trying fallbacks - Rate limiting plugins that allow fallbacks to other providers - Caching plugins that can return cached responses directly The implementation maintains backward compatibility while providing plugin developers with greater control over the request pipeline.
