Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Updated the LiteLLM example to select routes from the full set of available algorithms and current candidate models, rather than a restricted subset.
  • Routing continues to support weighted and seeded selection while adapting to each request’s available candidates.

• Tests

  • Expanded coverage for deterministic seeded routing, single-candidate scenarios, duplicate candidates, zero weights, and complete candidate selection.

• Chores

  • Added the LiteLLM example checks to the required continuous integration pipeline.

Walkthrough

Changes

LiteLLM routing and CI

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Random routing configuration examples/litellm/src/switchyard_litellm/plugins/random_routing_plugin.py, examples/litellm/deployment/Dockerfile	Random routing supplies candidates through the any model group. Deployment initialization permits selection from all algorithms.
Routing behavior validation examples/litellm/tests/unit/test_candidate_routing_plugins.py	Tests validate seeded replay, single-candidate selection, candidate coverage, zero weights, duplicate models, and changing candidate pools.
LiteLLM CI integration .github/workflows/ci.yml	CI runs LiteLLM unit tests with Python 3.12 when full_ci is enabled. The litellm job is required by ci-success.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4e065

Weighted random routing can reject requests when the available candidate pool changes size. Define and enforce the supported candidate-pool contract before relying on weighted routing in changing-pool deployments.

Add docstrings for the new public test functions. The test names do not fully state the routing invariants being validated.

• examples/litellm/tests/unit/test_candidate_routing_plugins.py#L122-L124: document zero-weight behavior and duplicate deployment preservation.
• examples/litellm/tests/unit/test_candidate_routing_plugins.py#L136-L136: document current-pool selection behavior.
