WalkthroughThe change moves model fallback from routing state into ordered candidate lists. ChangesCandidate fallback
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR moves model retry handling into the client and makes ordered model candidates explicit. The remaining concerns are limited to minor efficiency, test-fidelity, and duplicate-candidate cleanup; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. Poem

unwrap_orevaluates its argument eagerly. Everycall_modelinvocation therefore builds theModelId::from("NoTargets")string, including the normal path wheremodelsis non-empty.modelsis also rejected as empty at Line 148, so the fallback value is only reachable for a caller that the function immediately fails. Record the model as a string slice instead.♻️ Proposed refactor

The HTTP work belong in `libsy-llm-client`. The PR moves LLM calling retry code from `crates/libsy/src/algorithms/fall_through.rs` to `crates/libsy-llm-client/src/run.rs`. `FallThrough` holds almost no state now. Previously retry was handled by the `FallThrough` algorithm wrapper. It would issue a CallModel, inspect the HTTP response, and then ask the algorithm for a different model on failure. Now that retry is outside libsy FallThrough returns to it's design goal of being a set of classifiers with "fall through" if an earlier one does not select a model. For the client to retry we need a list of ModelId to try. `Driver::call_model` now takes `Vec<ModelId>`, which are the models the algorithm wants us to try in order, the selected one first. Algorithms behave like this already, but the multiple-models is somewhat hidden by the interaction with FallThrough. This makes it explicit.

Summary by Sonnet 5
This PR relocates model-call retry/fallback from the
FallThroughalgorithm (crates/libsy) into the HTTP client layer (crates/libsy-llm-client/src/run.rs). PreviouslyFallThroughtracked excluded targets, remembered context-window overflows for a session, and republished a newDecisionon every fallback hop. NowDriver::call_modeltakes an orderedVec<ModelId>, andlibsy-llm-client'scall_first_availabletries each candidate in turn, exhausting each one's HTTP retry budget before advancing.FallThroughis reduced to producing that ordered candidate list. Rust/Python bindings, docs, and tests are all updated to match — it's a large, mostly-mechanical refactor (21 files, +583/-824) with good new test coverage for the moved logic (run.rs gets 4 solid new tests covering fallback policy, retry-budget exhaustion, and stream boundaries).
