Core HTTP proxy functionality for LLM Edge Agent - A high-performance, production-ready HTTP/HTTPS proxy server for LLM requests.

## Overview

This crate provides the foundational HTTP/HTTPS server layer with:

- **High-Performance Server**: Axum 0.8 + Hyper 1.0 with HTTP/2 support
- **TLS Termination**: Memory-safe TLS with Rustls 0.23
- **Authentication**: API key validation (x-api-key, Bearer token)
- **Rate Limiting**: tower-governor with configurable limits
- **Request Handling**: Timeouts, size limits, validation
- **Observability**: Structured JSON logging with OpenTelemetry integration
- **Health Checks**: Kubernetes-compatible endpoints
- **Metrics**: Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint

## Features

### Security & Authentication
- API key authentication via headers
- SHA-256 hashed key support
- Configurable public endpoints
- Request size limits (10MB default)
- Request timeout (30s default)

### Performance
- Target: <5ms latency overhead
- Expected: >20,000 req/s throughput
- Memory: ~50MB base + ~100KB per connection
- Zero-copy where possible
- Async/await throughout

### Observability
- Structured JSON logging
- Request tracing with correlation IDs
- Prometheus metrics
- OpenTelemetry integration (prepared)

### OpenAI-Compatible API
- `POST /v1/chat/completions` - Chat completion endpoint
- `POST /v1/completions` - Legacy completion endpoint
- Note: Returns mock responses in Layer 1

## Installation

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
llm-edge-proxy = "0.1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.40", features = ["full"] }
anyhow = "1.0"
```

## Usage

### As a Library

```rust
use llm_edge_proxy::{Config, build_app, serve};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Load configuration
    let config = Config::from_env()?;

    // Build application with middleware
    let app = build_app(config.clone()).await?;

    // Start server
    let addr = config.server.address.parse()?;
    serve(addr, app).await?;

    Ok(())
}
```

### Standalone Usage (Outside Workspace)

When using this crate independently:

```rust
use llm_edge_proxy::{Config, ProxyConfig, ServerConfig, build_app, serve};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Manual configuration
    let config = Config {
        server: ServerConfig {
            address: "0.0.0.0:8080".to_string(),
            timeout_seconds: 30,
            max_request_size: 10_485_760,
        },
        proxy: ProxyConfig {
            auth_enabled: true,
            api_keys: vec!["your-api-key".to_string()],
            rate_limit_enabled: true,
            rate_limit_rpm: 1000,
            rate_limit_burst: 100,
        },
    };

    let app = build_app(config.clone()).await?;
    let addr = config.server.address.parse()?;
    serve(addr, app).await?;

    Ok(())
}
```

### Configuration

All configuration via environment variables:

```env
# Server
SERVER_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:8080
SERVER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=30
MAX_REQUEST_SIZE=10485760

# Authentication
AUTH_ENABLED=true
API_KEYS=key1,key2
AUTH_HEALTH_CHECK=false

# Rate Limiting
RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=true
RATE_LIMIT_RPM=1000
RATE_LIMIT_BURST=100

# Observability
LOG_LEVEL=info
ENABLE_TRACING=true
ENABLE_METRICS=true
```

## API Endpoints

### Health Checks

```bash
# General health
GET /health

# Kubernetes readiness
GET /health/ready

# Kubernetes liveness
GET /health/live
```

### Metrics

```bash
# Prometheus metrics
GET /metrics
```

### LLM Proxy

```bash
# Chat completions (OpenAI-compatible)
POST /v1/chat/completions
Content-Type: application/json
x-api-key: your-api-key

{
  "model": "gpt-4",
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
  ]
}
```
