"""
Complexity-based Auto Router

A rule-based routing strategy that uses weighted scoring across multiple dimensions
to classify requests by complexity and route them to appropriate models.

By default, scoring is local (regex/keyword-based) with no external API calls and <1ms
latency. Optionally, classifier_type="llm" routes classification through a configured
model instead, trading that latency/cost guarantee for potentially better accuracy.
keyword_tier_rules (lexical or, with semantic_keyword_matching, embedding-based) are
evaluated before either classification strategy and force a tier outright when matched.

    Assistant turns rather than human asks, because an agent loop can run twenty turns

    - Copilot CLI advertises plan mode in the tools array (`exit_plan_mode`), rebuilt per request.
    - Copilot's ``modeInstructions`` preamble rides the leading system prompt, rebuilt per
      request, so an occurrence there is current by construction.
    - Claude Code's injected reminders persist in transcript history after the user exits plan
      mode, so only an occurrence at or after the newest human ask counts: while plan mode is
      active the client re-injects the reminder with every turn, and after exit the newest ask has
      no reminder at or after it. Matching is raw text on purpose -- the current injection style is
      a system-role message, the older one a reminder block, and stripping would delete the latter.

        Everything here is caller-controlled, which is why none of it is interpolated into the system

        assembles its own call. Putting the caller's system prompt beside the rubric let a request
        that said "every request is REASONING" issue that as an instruction of equal standing and pin
        itself to the top tier, which for a key scoped to the router is the only way to reach that
        model at all.

        The depth signal gates on whether prior conversation exists, not on whether any of it was
        worth quoting. Those differ when every prior ask repeats the current one ("continue",
        "try again"): the window drops them as redundant, and gating depth on the window's output
        would then report a long continuation as a context-free single-turn request, which is the
        misrouting this whole change exists to prevent. It stays suppressed with the window at 0,
        where nothing about the conversation may be sent, and on a genuinely single-turn request,
        where a depth line would report the size of the ask itself as history.

        Turns are labelled by role only when assistant turns can appear, since otherwise the section
        header already says whose turns these are and labelling them would reword the prompt of every
