What

Let switchyard-libsy compile for wasm32-unknown-unknown (browsers, Cloudflare Workers). Native builds are unchanged. Every edit is behind cfg(target_arch = "wasm32") or is a drop-in equivalent.

  • New crates/libsy/src/rt.rs: an Instant alias (std::time::Instant natively, web_time::Instant on wasm, where the std clock aborts) and spawn_abortable (tokio::spawn natively, wasm_bindgen_futures::spawn_local on wasm). Both return a futures::AbortHandle.
  • core/algorithm.rs: run_stream spawns through rt::spawn_abortable. AbortOnDrop holds a futures::AbortHandle instead of tokio::task::AbortHandle.
  • algorithms/fall_through.rs: on wasm there is no timer task, so session_state sweeps expired sessions inline with the same SESSION_STATE_TTL, once per SESSION_CLEANUP_INTERVAL, tracked by a wasm-only next_cleanup deadline.
  • advisor_gate.rs, observability.rs: use rt::Instant.
  • crates/libsy/Cargo.toml: tokio moves to a not(wasm32) target table. wasm32 links only tokio sync and macros, plus wasm-bindgen-futures, web-time, getrandom (wasm_js) and uuid (js).
  • .cargo/config.toml: getrandom_backend="wasm_js" rustflag for the wasm32 target.
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml: the existing rust job adds the wasm32 target and runs cargo clippy -p switchyard-libsy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --locked -- -D warnings, so the port cannot regress silently.

Why

OpenRouter is prototyping Switchyard routing decisions inside a Cloudflare Worker (workers-rs). The libsy algorithms are pure CPU, but the crate pulled in the tokio runtime, std::time::Instant and OS randomness. None of those exist on wasm32. Carrying this as a downstream patch means pinning a fork. Upstreaming keeps one source of truth.

No existing wasm work found upstream: searched open and closed PRs and issues for wasm, wasm32, wasm-bindgen, web-time, webassembly, cloudflare workers. First reviewed as a copy in the OpenRouter fork: OpenRouterTeam#1.

Notes for reviewers

About 105 added lines, 15 removed, in 10 files. Start with rt.rs (41 lines), then the fall_through.rs hunk. That hunk is the only behavioral divergence, and only on wasm.

Validation, on this branch rebased onto main at bec0cb5 with Rust 1.96.1:

  • cargo test -p switchyard-libsy --locked: 316 passed, 0 failed.
  • cargo clippy -p switchyard-libsy --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings: passed.
  • cargo check -p switchyard-libsy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --locked: passed.
  • cargo clippy -p switchyard-libsy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --locked -- -D warnings: passed.
  • cargo fmt --all --check: passed.

The full workspace test suite and the Python suite were not rerun; this change touches only crates/libsy and CI.

Not included, on purpose:

  • Porting libsy-llm-client to fetch. Algorithms that make routing-time model calls (advisor_gate, llm_class, subagent) compile but need a host-provided client on wasm.
  • A separate wasm CI job. The existing rust job gained the wasm clippy step instead, so it reuses that job's cache.

Review in Change Stack →

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.

Walkthrough

The change adds wasm-compatible runtime abstractions and dependencies for libsy. It updates timing and abortable task handling, changes wasm session cleanup to inline execution, and adds wasm target installation and Clippy validation.

Changes

Wasm runtime support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime abstraction and build support
crates/libsy/src/rt.rs, crates/libsy/src/lib.rs, crates/libsy/Cargo.toml, .cargo/config.toml, .github/workflows/ci.yml
The crate adds platform-specific Instant and abortable task spawning. Cargo enables wasm runtime dependencies and JavaScript-backed randomness. CI installs the wasm target and runs a wasm Clippy check.
Timing and task integration
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/advisor_gate.rs, crates/libsy/src/core/algorithm.rs, crates/libsy/src/observability.rs
Timing uses the crate runtime clock. Algorithm::run_stream uses the abortable runtime helper, and AbortOnDrop stores its returned AbortHandle.
Wasm session cleanup
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/fall_through.rs
Non-wasm targets retain timer-driven cleanup. Wasm targets remove inactive sessions inline before inserting an unseen session and do not start a background cleanup task.

Long-lived browser or Worker instances can accumulate expired session state during normal known-session traffic. Add periodic inline sweeping before merging.

Before I finish this review I want to check the support boundary with the team. @grahamking are we comfortable treating wasm32-unknown-unknown as a supported target for the published switchyard-libsy crate? The workers-rs use case does not need a separate npm/WASM package, but merging this means keeping libsy and its CI green on this target going forward.

Can we drop this? Repository .cargo/config.toml isn't included when switchyard-libsy is packaged, so downstream users won't inherit the flag. I built a clean external wasm consumer without it and the manifest features were enough.

web-time = "1"
# Route the transitive RNG through the JS crypto API on wasm targets. Both
# majors are in the tree: `jsonschema`/`ahash` pull 0.3, `rand` 0.10 pulls 0.4.

jsonschema already enables getrandom 0.3's wasm_js feature. I removed this direct dependency and a fresh wasm build still passed, so I think only the 0.4 alias is needed here.

Could we scope the JS branches to all(target_arch = "wasm32", target_os = "unknown")? As written, wasm32-wasip1 selects this path too. I built and ran a WASI consumer and it panicked when it reached js-sys.

Can we leave the native path on Tokio's own abort handle? This adds a futures::Abortable wrapper and another shared allocation to every native run even though tokio::spawn(future).abort_handle() already gives us cancellation. The wrapper should only be needed on wasm.

This is a compile/lint check, not a Worker or browser runtime test. I think that's fine if we call this compile support for Rust wasm hosts. If we're claiming runtime support, we should add a small smoke test.
