Headroom Daily: Proxy Observability and Hybrid Routing Push
Merged work centers on making the proxy safer to operate long-term — surfacing Redis health, per-request cost, and bounded metrics — plus new routing for Factory Droid and local M-L-X models, while Agent-Reach fixes logins for Chinese locales and empty upstream sessions.

Good morning, it's Sunday, November 8th, 2026.
The lead signal today is operational trust: teams are hardening proxies that run for days and logins that have to work across languages and broken upstreams.
First, observability you can act on. Pull request 4578 stops silent Redis outages by reporting shared session store availability in health and metrics, while still failing open by design. Pull request 1565 adds per-request cost in dollars and turn identifiers to recent requests, so a status bar can sum spend without…
Second, one proxy for hybrid fleets. Pull request 4143 adds a wrap command for Factory Droid, pointing Factory traffic at the local proxy for compression and pass-through. Pull request 4597 lets a single instance route cloud models to Anthropic and local models to an on-device M-L-X server, with strict allowlisting…
Third, login resilience in Agent-Reach. Pull request 914 recovers a Bilibili session from the local browser when the upstream reports success but returns empty credentials. Pull request 925 forces UTF-8 for interactive child processes so QR prompts survive consoles using G-B-K encoding. And pull request 934 moves to…
Also merged: Bedrock credential refresh…
