+The Router's entry points and the typed views they return.
+
+``litellm.Router`` exposes its endpoint methods (``acompletion``, ``aembedding``, ...) plus eight
+entry points, and every other read or write that code outside the router needs goes through one
+of them:
+
+- ``registry()`` -> ``RouterRegistry``: the configured deployments, indexed by id, model group,
+  alias, wildcard pattern and team, and the plugins they configure.
+- ``settings()`` -> ``RouterSettings``: one frozen snapshot of the configuration a caller may read.
+- ``health()`` -> ``RouterHealth``: cooldowns, blocked deployments, health checks and usage.
+- ``select(model, ...)``: pick a deployment without calling it.
+- ``apply(ChangeSet)`` / ``aapply(ChangeSet)``: runtime changes (deployments, settings, plugins),
+  returning an ``ApplyResult`` with the new registry version.
+- ``observe(...)``: bind the router's routing observers to request logging.
+- ``register_plugin(plugin)``: a custom routing strategy.
+- ``retire()``: release the router's global registrations.
+
+The views read the router's state when they are called; they hold no copy of it. A Rust core
+implements the same views (see litellm-rust/crates/router-core). Each query names the old Router
+member it replaces in its docstring; ``DeprecatedRouterMembers`` keeps the old names working, typed
+as they were.
+"""
+
+# pyright: reportPrivateUsage=false, reportUnknownMemberType=false, reportUnknownVariableType=false
+# pyright: reportMissingTypeArgument=false, reportUnknownParameterType=false
+# The views are part of the router: they read and write the Router's ``_core_*`` members by design
+# (see the router-core boundary in litellm/router.py), the same way Router's own methods do. Each
+# selector query (``deployments(source=...)``, ``names(kind=...)``, ...) is overloaded per selector
+# value and returns exactly the type of the ``_core_*`` member that value reads, which is the type
+# the old public member had, so moving a caller onto the entry point keeps its types. Some of those
+# members are still untyped (bare ``dict`` / ``list``) or mutable (the live objects); the overloads
+# repeat them unchanged, and typing the members themselves is the core's job.

+DeprecatedRouterMembers: the Router members that outside code used before the entry points.
+
+``litellm.Router`` mixes this class in so existing callers keep working while they move to the
+entry points (``registry()``, ``settings()``, ``health()``, ``select()``, ``apply()``,
+``observe()``, ``register_plugin()``, ``retire()``; see litellm/router_api.py). Every member here
+returns what it returned before, with the type it had before, and names its replacement in a
+``DeprecationWarning``. Reads go to the same Router implementation (``Router._core_<name>``) the
+entry point uses; writes go through ``apply`` / ``aapply`` so the registry version moves.
+
+Access from the router itself and from its own modules (``litellm.router*``) is not counted:
+those are the router's internals and move behind the core interface separately. Every other access
+is counted in ``DEPRECATED_ROUTER_MEMBER_USES`` so the remaining users show up before this class is
+deleted (planned about a month after the core swap).

+RouterHost: what the router asks of the application it runs in.

+The router used to import three proxy modules on demand (vertex pass-through credentials, member
+auto-router authorization and auto-router prompt compression), so litellm.router and litellm.proxy
+imported each other. The router now asks the installed host instead. The first time it asks, the
+proxy's host (litellm/proxy/_router_host.py) is installed when the proxy can be imported,
+whichever modules were imported before, so router.py itself never imports the proxy.
+
+When the proxy can't be imported, the default host keeps no pass-through credentials, applies no
+prompt compression, and refuses member auto-routers, which need the proxy's team checks.

+`litellm` imports the proxy only when it runs. Every worker that `--num_workers` spawns
+imports this module again before it can answer uvicorn's first health ping, which fails
+within 5 s, so importing the SDK here makes slow hosts kill each new worker in a loop.
+Each worker then loads the proxy app through `proxy_worker_app`, while its ping thread runs.
+A full garbage collection during that load holds the GIL long enough to miss a ping, so

+after the SDK loads but before the proxy app does, as in earlier releases, so a config that
+disables existing loggers silences the SDK's loggers and leaves the proxy app's enabled.

+These tests exercise a running gateway, PostgreSQL and Redis with an owned local upstream. CircleCI owns this suite, and `.github/workflows/test-integration.yml` runs the same groups through `run_integration.sh` on GitHub Actions for `run-ci` pull requests and scheduled main runs.

 The ROI database contracts in `database/test_roi_observed.py` run as plain pytest outside `run_integration.sh` in CircleCI's `roi-database` Postgres job. The job uploads coverage with the `roi-postgres` flag. These contracts own temporary databases and script only the external provider transport
