fix(server): use normalized session IDs in routing stats

[afourniernv]

What

• build routing-log context from protocol-normalized Metadata.session_id, so the canonical x-switchyard-session-id and recognized client session headers are recorded consistently with routing
• prefer the normalized session ID when canonical and legacy headers disagree
• preserve proxy_x_session_id as a routing-log-only fallback for existing benchmark and legacy clients
• keep the public API, configuration, and routing-log JSON schema unchanged

Why

Fixes SWITCH-1191.

I independently reproduced the reported behavior on untouched origin/main at a17efa94 before applying the fix:

canonical_status=404 Not Found
legacy_status=200 OK
recorded_session_id="legacy-session"

This was not a later regression from previously working canonical session stats. The native session-stats feature initially shipped with a separate legacy-header parser, while request routing already consumed normalized protocol metadata. This change makes routing stats use that existing normalized value instead of parsing session identity a second time.

How tested

• pre-fix reproduction on untouched origin/main: canonical lookup 404, legacy lookup 200, JSONL recorded the legacy ID
• cargo test -p switchyard-server --test server routing_log — 2 passed, covering canonical precedence, legacy-only compatibility, and canonical session lifetime through streaming completion
• cargo test -p switchyard-server — 32 unit and 27 integration tests passed
• cargo fmt --all --check
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo test --workspace --exclude switchyard-py
• git diff --check

No live provider call was needed; the failure is entirely in inbound metadata normalization and terminal routing-log recording, and the reproduction uses the local mock upstream.

Checklist

• Regression tests cover the bug fix and legacy compatibility.
• README updated for the customer-facing session-ID contract.
• Commit carries the required DCO sign-off.

Notes for reviewers

The normalized session String is cloned into the independently owned routing-log context because request metadata moves into the algorithm while streaming logging may outlive request execution. The legacy header remains log-only so it cannot influence affinity, escalation, or overflow state.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Session statistics now support canonical session IDs through the x-switchyard-session-id header.
  • Statistics remain compatible with the legacy proxy_x_session_id header when no canonical ID is provided.
  • Streaming responses record final session usage totals after the response completes.

• Bug Fixes

  • Routing logs and session statistics now consistently use the canonical session ID when both headers are present.
  • Updated documentation explains model-grouped totals and behavior when records or routing logs are unavailable.

@grahamking when you have a chance, could you take a first pass on this? I reproduced SWITCH-1191 on untouched main before applying the fix; the exact pre-fix behavior and the permanent regression coverage are in the PR description. Thanks!

Walkthrough

Routing-log context creation now uses parsed metadata. Canonical session IDs take precedence over legacy headers, with fallback support retained. Documentation and tests cover session-statistics lookup and streaming usage totals.

Changes

Session ID routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Metadata-based routing context crates/switchyard-server/src/routing_log.rs, crates/switchyard-server/src/lib.rs	Routing-log contexts now use parsed Metadata. The canonical session ID takes precedence over the legacy header.
Session statistics behavior and validation crates/switchyard-server/tests/server.rs, crates/switchyard-server/README.md	Tests cover canonical precedence, legacy fallback, and statistics recorded after streaming completes. Documentation describes the normalized session ID and endpoint behavior.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d9e97

The localized session-ID normalization change is covered by regression and compatibility tests, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains; it is merge-ready after normal checks.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with logs in a row,
Canonical IDs now lead the flow.
Legacy paths still remain,
Streams record their final gain.
Session stats now clearly grow.
