**Placeholder implementation for dynamic routing in micro-neural networks**

⚠️ **This crate contains mostly stub implementations and placeholder code.** The routing functionality described in the documentation is not yet implemented. This serves as a design specification and API outline for future development.

## ⚠️ Current Implementation Status

### ✅ What Exists
- **Basic Type Definitions**: Empty struct definitions for routing components
- **Default Implementations**: Minimal default trait implementations
- **Module Structure**: Organized module layout for future implementation
- **Integration**: Basic integration with micro_core types

### ❌ What's Missing (Most Everything)
- **Actual Routing Logic**: No real routing algorithms implemented
- **Context Management**: Context tracking is stub code only
- **Neural Gating**: No neural network-based routing
- **Performance Optimization**: No actual performance considerations
- **Load Balancing**: Not implemented
- **Rule-Based Routing**: Not implemented

## 📦 Installation

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
micro_routing = { path = "../micro_routing" }
micro_core = { path = "../micro_core" }
```

## 🏗️ Current API (Placeholder)

### Basic Types

```rust
use micro_routing::{DynamicRouter, RouterConfig, RoutingDecision};

// All of these are empty structs with default implementations
let router = DynamicRouter::default();
let config = RouterConfig::default();
let decision = RoutingDecision::default();

// No actual functionality implemented
```

### Integration with micro_core

```rust
use micro_routing::{RootVector, ROOT_DIM, MicroNet};
use micro_core::{Error, Result};

// Re-exports work, but no routing logic exists
let vector = RootVector::zero();
println!("Vector has {} dimensions", ROOT_DIM);
```

## 🎯 Planned Architecture (Not Implemented)

The following describes the intended design, not the current implementation:

### 1. Dynamic Router System
```rust
// PLANNED API (not implemented)
use micro_routing::{Router, RoutingStrategy};

let mut router = Router::new(RoutingStrategy::Hybrid);
router.register_agent("reasoning", Box::new(reasoning_agent));
let plan = router.route(&input, &context); // Would return routing decision
```

### 2. Context Management
```rust
// PLANNED API (not implemented)
use micro_routing::{Context, ContextManager};

let mut context = Context::new();
context.add_interaction("agent_id", success_score);
let context_vector = context.get_context_vector();
```

### 3. Gating Networks
```rust
// PLANNED API (not implemented)
use micro_routing::{GatingNetwork, GatingConfig};

let config = GatingConfig {
    input_dim: 32,
    hidden_dim: 64,
    num_agents: 8,
    temperature: 2.0,
};

let mut gating_net = GatingNetwork::new(config);
let probabilities = gating_net.forward(&input);
```

## 📊 Intended Performance Characteristics

These are planned targets, not current performance:

| Operation | Target Latency | Notes |
|-----------|----------------|-------|
| Rule-Based Routing | <10 μs | Pattern matching |
| Neural Gating | <100 μs | Small network forward pass |
| Context Lookup | <1 μs | Hash table lookup |
| Plan Generation | <20 μs | Decision tree traversal |

## 🧪 Testing

```bash
# Currently only tests basic compilation and default implementations
cargo test

# No meaningful functionality to test yet
cargo test --features integration-tests
```

## ⚠️ Known Issues

1. **No Functionality**: Almost everything is placeholder code
2. **Compilation Only**: Code compiles but doesn't do meaningful work
3. **Missing Dependencies**: Some planned features need additional crates
4. **API Changes**: API will likely change significantly during implementation
5. **No Error Handling**: Proper error types not yet defined

## 🤝 Contributing

This crate needs significant development work. Priority contributions:

1. **Core Routing Logic**: Implement actual routing algorithms
2. **Context Management**: Build working context tracking
3. **Neural Networks**: Add gating network implementations
4. **Testing**: Create comprehensive test suite
5. **Documentation**: Update docs to match implementation

### Implementation Guidelines

When implementing routing functionality:

- Follow the existing type signatures where possible
- Integrate with micro_core's RootVector and error types
- Maintain no_std compatibility where feasible
- Add comprehensive tests for each component
- Document all public APIs with examples
