config,server: add upstream.ignorePaths (#869)

Add upstream.ignorePaths config to prevent model swaps for static-asset
requests made through the /upstream/<model>/<path> passthrough endpoint.

- add UpstreamConfig with compiled *regexp.Regexp slice; invalid regex
returns an error at load time
- apply a default pattern matching common static-asset suffixes
(.js/.json/.css/.png/.gif/.jpg/.jpeg/.ico/.txt) when unset
- in handleUpstream, return 409 Conflict when a path matches and the
local model is not already loaded; peer and already-loaded models fall
through to normal dispatch
- update config-schema.json and config.example.yaml

-#   3. Find all sets containing X
-#   4. For each candidate set, compute cost: sum of evict_costs for
-#      every running model NOT in that set
-#   5. Pick lowest cost candidate. Ties broken by definition order.
-#   6. Evict what needs to stop. Start X. Forward request.
-#
-# Subset semantics: a set [a, b, c] means any subset is valid.

+# Router design
+
+A developer tutorial for the `internal/router` package and its `scheduler`
+sub-package.
+
+## Intro
+
+A llama-swap router is the component that sits behind the proxy and answers one
+question for every incoming request: _can this model serve right now, and if
+not, what has to happen first?_ Answering it means juggling three concerns that
+used to live tangled together in one type:
+
+1. **Process machinery** — owning the OS processes, starting and stopping them,
+   running health checks, and shuttling HTTP requests onto the right upstream.
+2. **Scheduling strategy** — the queue, in-flight bookkeeping, and the decision
+   tree that turns one request into "serve now", "join an existing swap",
+   "queue", or "start a swap".
+3. **Eviction policy** — given a model we want to load, which currently-running
+   models have to be stopped to make room?
+
+The design pulls those three apart into separate, independently replaceable
+pieces:
+
+| Concern             | Type                           | Lives in                        |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| Process machinery   | `baseRouter`                   | `internal/router/base.go`       |
+| Scheduling strategy | `scheduler.Scheduler` (`FIFO`) | `internal/router/scheduler/`    |
+| Eviction policy     | `scheduler.Swapper`            | `groupSwapper`, `matrixSwapper` |
+
+`baseRouter` keeps the channels, run loop, process lifecycle, and shutdown
+teardown, and exposes the side-effects a scheduler needs through the
+`scheduler.Effects` interface. The scheduler owns the queue and decision tree
+but performs no side-effects directly — it calls back through `Effects`. The
+`Swapper` is a pure function from "target model + currently running" to "models
+to evict", and knows nothing about queues, channels, or processes.
+
+Because the seams are interfaces, you can replace the scheduling strategy
+without touching process management, or write a new eviction policy without
+touching either. `FIFO` is the first and currently only `Scheduler`;
+`groupSwapper` and `matrixSwapper` are the two `Swapper`s.
+
+## Key concepts
+
+### One run loop, no locks
+
+`baseRouter.run()` is a single goroutine selecting over a handful of channels:
+
+```go
+for {
+    select {
+    case req := <-b.shutdownCh:  b.handleShutdown(req); return
+    case req := <-b.handlerCh:   b.schedule.OnRequest(req)
+    case req := <-b.unloadCh:    b.schedule.OnUnload(req.targets, req.timeout); close(req.respond)
+    case ev := <-b.swapDoneCh:   b.schedule.OnSwapDone(ev)
+    case ev := <-b.serveDoneCh:  b.schedule.OnServeDone(ev)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Every `Scheduler` method runs on this one goroutine. That is the single most
+important fact about the design: **the scheduler never needs a mutex for its own
+state**. All scheduler state is touched only from these callbacks, which are
+serialized by the run loop. If you write a new scheduler, you get the same
+guarantee for free — and you must not break it by spinning up goroutines that
+mutate scheduler state.
+
+### Events flow in, side-effects flow out
+
+The run loop turns external happenings into method calls on the scheduler:
+
+- A new HTTP request becomes `OnRequest(HandlerReq)`.
+- A swap goroutine finishing becomes `OnSwapDone(SwapDone)`.
+- A tracked request handler returning becomes `OnServeDone(ServeDoneEvent)`.
+- An admin unload becomes `OnUnload(targets, timeout)`.
+- Shutdown becomes `OnShutdown(err)`.
+
+The scheduler reacts by calling **back out** through `Effects`: inspect a
+process state, start a swap, grant a response to a caller, or stop processes. It
+never calls `process.Process` directly and never writes to a channel directly.
+This keeps the scheduler pure enough to unit-test against a fake `Effects` with
+no goroutines or real processes involved (see `scheduler/fifo_test.go`).
+
+```
+   HTTP request                          admin Unload / Shutdown
+        │                                          │
+        ▼                                          ▼
+ ServeHTTP ──HandlerReq──▶  baseRouter.run()  ◀──unloadCh/shutdownCh
+                                  │  (single goroutine)
+                                  ▼
+                          Scheduler.On*(...)
+                                  │  calls back through
+                                  ▼
+                          Effects: ModelState / StartSwap /
+                                   GrantServe / GrantError / StopProcesses
+                                  │
+                                  ▼
+                  baseRouter side-effects: doSwap goroutine,
+                  grant() to caller, process.Stop()
+                                  │
+            swap completes ──SwapDone──▶ back into run loop
+```
+
+### The swap goroutine
+
+Scheduling decisions must be quick and non-blocking, but loading a model is
+slow. The two are reconciled by doing the slow part on a separate goroutine.
+
+When the scheduler decides to start a swap, inside `OnRequest` it:
+
+1. records "a swap for X is in flight" in its own state, then
+2. calls `Effects.StartSwap(modelID, evict)`.
+
+`StartSwap` does **not** load the model itself — it just launches a detached
+goroutine (`doSwap`) and returns straight away. `doSwap` is what does the slow
+work: stop the evicted processes, start the target, wait for it to become ready.
+Because `StartSwap` returned immediately, `OnRequest` returns too, and the run
+loop is free to pick up the next event — another request, a serve-done, an
+unload — while `doSwap` runs in the background.
+
+The swap's eventual result comes back as just another event: when `doSwap`
+finishes it posts a `SwapDone` onto `swapDoneCh`, which the run loop delivers as
+`OnSwapDone`. So a slow load never blocks the run loop; it brackets it with two
+quick events (`OnRequest` to start, `OnSwapDone` to finish) and everything in
+between is handled normally.
+
+### In-flight tracking and `trackedServe`
+
+When the scheduler grants a request, the handler it hands back is wrapped by
+`baseRouter.trackedServe`. The wrapper runs the real `ServeHTTP` and, on return,
+posts a `ServeDoneEvent` so the run loop can decrement the per-model in-flight
+count. This is why the scheduler can know whether a process is "busy": it counts
+grants out and serve-dones in. A swap that would evict a busy process is
+deferred until that process's in-flight count hits zero (`OnServeDone` then
+re-drains the queue).
+
+The subtle contract here is `GrantServe`'s boolean return. The caller's
+`Respond` channel is unbuffered, so a successful send proves the HTTP goroutine
+is alive and took the handler. If the caller already disconnected, the send
+fails, `trackedServe` never runs, and **no** `ServeDoneEvent` will ever arrive —
+so the scheduler must only increment `inFlight` when `GrantServe` returns true.
+Incrementing on a false return would strand the counter above zero and the model
+could never be evicted again.
+
+## The interfaces
+
+All three live in `scheduler/scheduler.go`.
+
+### `Scheduler`
+
+```go
+type Scheduler interface {
+    OnRequest(req HandlerReq)
+    OnSwapDone(ev SwapDone)
+    OnServeDone(ev ServeDoneEvent)
+    OnUnload(targets []string, timeout time.Duration)
+    OnShutdown(err error)
+}
+```
+
+Owns the queue, in-flight tracking, and the decision tree. All methods run on
+the run-loop goroutine, so no internal locking is needed.
+
+### `Swapper`
+
+```go
+type Swapper interface {
+    EvictionFor(target string, running []string) []string
+    OnSwapStart(target string, running []string)
+}
+```
+
+The eviction policy. `EvictionFor` is a **pure decision** — given the target and
+the complete `running` set, return the running model IDs that must stop. It must
+not log or mutate anything, and it does **not** inspect process state itself:
+the scheduler hands it `running` already assembled (every non-stopped process,
+unioned with the targets of in-flight swaps already committed but not yet
+visible in process state). That keeps the swapper a pure function of its inputs,
+with no reference to processes.
+
+The reason it must not log is that it is a _speculative_ query — "what would we
+evict if we started this swap right now?" — called far more often than swaps
+actually happen. The scheduler calls it once per incoming request, and then
+**again for every still-queued request on every queue drain** (each `OnSwapDone`,
+`OnServeDone`, and `OnUnload`). Most of those calls end in "still queued",
+"collides", or "nothing to evict", not a real swap. Logging there would emit
+duplicate lines for a request that simply sits in the queue, and lines for
+decisions that never happen — the log would stop meaning "a swap occurred".
+
+`OnSwapStart` is the one place a Swapper may log, because it is called exactly
+once, at the moment a swap is committed. One log line there equals one real swap,
+with the evict set that is genuinely being applied — which is why `matrixSwapper`
+re-solves and logs the full decision (set, DSL, cost) in `OnSwapStart` rather
+than in `EvictionFor`.
+
+### `Effects`
+
+```go
+type Effects interface {
+    ModelState(modelID string) (process.ProcessState, bool)
+    RunningModels() map[string]process.ProcessState
+    StartSwap(modelID string, evict []string)
+    GrantError(req HandlerReq, err error)
+    GrantServe(req HandlerReq, modelID string) bool
+    StopProcesses(timeout time.Duration, ids []string)
+}
+```
+
+Implemented by `baseRouter`. This is the scheduler's entire window onto the
+outside world; everything else about the router is hidden from it. See the
+deep-dive below.
+
+### `Factory` — wiring it together
+
+```go
+type Factory func(name string, logger *logmon.Monitor, eff Effects) Scheduler
+```
+
+`baseRouter` doesn't know which scheduler or swapper it has — it is handed a
+`Factory` at construction and calls it once, passing itself as the `Effects`.
+The concrete router captures its `Swapper` in the closure. From `group.go`:
+
+```go
+swapper := &groupSwapper{ /* ... */ }
+base := newBaseRouter("group", conf, processes, proxylog,
+    func(name string, logger *logmon.Monitor, eff scheduler.Effects) scheduler.Scheduler {
+        return scheduler.NewFIFO(name, logger, swapper, eff)
+    })
+```
+
+This closure is the single point where the three pieces meet: it binds a
+specific `Swapper` (`swapper`) and a specific `Scheduler` (`FIFO`) to the
+`baseRouter`'s `Effects` (`eff`).
+
+**The swapper is a separate type from the concrete router.** There are currently two router implementations router.Group and router.Matrix. Each of these has a custom swapper that implements scheduler.Swapper for custom eviction logic. This decoupling of responsibilities makes it easy to implement custom swapping strategies.
+
+### The events
+
+A single goroutine in `baseRouter.run()` owns and serializes all state changes in the router. By processing events one at a time it ensures correctness and eliminates complex mutex lock logic.
+
+These are the events the router currently uses:
+
+```go
+type HandlerReq struct {            // one in-flight ServeHTTP awaiting a decision
+    Model      string
+    Ctx        context.Context
+    Respond    chan HandlerResp     // UNBUFFERED — see GrantServe contract
+    PositionCh chan int             // queue-position updates for the loading UI
+}
+
+type HandlerResp struct {           // the decision handed back to the caller
+    HandleFunc http.HandlerFunc     // serve with this, or...
+    Err        error                // ...fail with this
+}
+
+type SwapDone        struct{ ModelID string; Err error } // swap goroutine finished
+type ServeDoneEvent  struct{ ModelID string }            // tracked handler returned
+```
+
+## Deep-dive: the `Effects` interface and why it exists
+
+`Effects` is the inversion-of-control boundary that makes the split possible.
+The scheduler decides and `baseRouter` _acts_. Pulling the side-effects behind this
+interface buys three things:
+
+1. **Purity and testability.** The scheduler performs no I/O, starts no
+   goroutines of its own, and touches no real processes. Its tests drive the
+   `On*` methods directly and assert on a `fakeEffects` that just records the
+   calls — synchronous, deterministic, no sleeps. (`scheduler/fifo_test.go`.)
+2. **A single, auditable side-effect surface.** Every externally-visible thing a
+   scheduler can do is one of six methods. You can reason about the whole
+   contract by reading one interface.
+3. **Decoupling lifetime.** The scheduler never holds a `process.Process`,
+   never sees a channel, and never learns how shutdown teardown works. It only
+   knows model IDs and states.
+
+Method by method, as implemented in `base.go`:
+
+- **`ModelState(modelID) (state, ok)`** — read-only snapshot of a process's
+  state, and whether this router handles the model at all. The scheduler uses it
+  for the "unknown model" check and the "already ready" fast path. Safe to call
+  any time because the process map is fixed at construction and `State()` is a
+  snapshot.
+
+- **`RunningModels()`** — the state of every process that isn't stopped or shut
+  down. The scheduler unions its keys with its own in-flight swap targets to
+  build the `running` set it hands the `Swapper`, so the swapper never has to
+  touch process state itself.
+
+- **`StartSwap(modelID, evict)`** — fire-and-forget. `baseRouter` launches the
+  `doSwap` goroutine and returns immediately; the result comes back later as a
+  `SwapDone`. The scheduler records the swap as active _before_ calling this so
+  that requests arriving in the meantime can join it.
+
+- **`GrantError(req, err)`** — hand a caller an error response. Used for unknown
+  models, failed swaps, unloads, and shutdown.
+
+- **`GrantServe(req, modelID) bool`** — hand a caller the tracked handler for a
+  ready model, returning whether the caller was still there to receive it. The
+  scheduler increments the in-flight count **only on a true return** (see the
+  in-flight contract above). This is the one `Effects` method whose return value
+  carries state-machine significance.
+
+- **`StopProcesses(timeout, ids)`** — stop processes in parallel and **block**
+  until all have stopped. Used by `OnUnload` so an admin `Unload` call can
+  guarantee the process is dead by the time it returns. (Note `StartSwap` is
+  async but `StopProcesses` is sync — the difference is deliberate and tied to
+  the caller's expectations.)
+
+A useful way to hold it in your head: `Effects` is the scheduler's syscall
+table. The scheduler is a pure state machine; `Effects` is how it touches the
+world, and `baseRouter` is the kernel that implements those syscalls with real
+goroutines, channels, and processes.
+
+## How to implement a new `Swapper`
+
+A `Swapper` is a pure decision function plus a logging hook — the easiest of the three pieces to replace.
+
+1. **Write the swapper type** and give it whatever config it needs to make a
+   decision. It does **not** need the process map — the scheduler supplies the
+   running set as an argument. `groupSwapper` holds only its group config;
+   `matrixSwapper` holds only its solver and logger:
+
+   ```go
+   type mySwapper struct {
+       config config.Config
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Implement `EvictionFor(target, running)`** as a _pure_ decision:
+   - `running` is the complete live set, already assembled for you: every
+     non-stopped process unioned with the targets of in-flight swaps the
+     scheduler has committed to. You don't filter process state or fold in
+     in-flight targets yourself, that's the scheduler's job. Just decide against the slice you're handed.
+   - Return the list of model IDs in `running` that must stop for `target` to
+     run. Return `nil`/empty when nothing needs evicting.
+   - Do **not** mutate state here.
+   - Do **not** log here. It can be called multiple times per request. Since it is pure function have tests verify the expected behaviour.
+
+3. **Implement `OnSwapStart(target, running)`** — called once when a swap
+   actually begins, with the same `running` set `EvictionFor` saw. This is the
+   right place to log: one call equals one real swap. `matrixSwapper` re-solves
+   and logs the chosen set and cost here; `groupSwapper` logs nothing.
+
+4. **Wire it in** by instantiating the swapper in your router's constructor and
+   capturing it in the `Factory` closure passed to `newBaseRouter` — exactly as
+   `NewGroup` and `NewMatrix` do. The router struct itself only ever embeds
+   `*baseRouter`; the swapper reaches the scheduler solely through that closure.
+
+Reference implementations: `groupSwapper` (static group config) in `group.go`
+and `matrixSwapper` (cost-based set solver) in `matrix.go`.
+
+## How to implement a new `Scheduler`
+
+Replacing the scheduler means taking over the queue and the entire decision tree. Read `scheduler/fifo.go` end to end first — it is the reference implementation and the rules below are easiest to understand in context.
+
+The rules you must honour:
+
+- **Single goroutine.** Every method runs on the `baseRouter.run()` goroutine. Keep your state in plain maps/slices and never read or write it from another goroutine. If you need slow work done, hand it to `Effects.StartSwap` and react to the resulting `SwapDone` — do not block a method waiting for it.
+
+- **Never block the run loop.** `OnRequest`, `OnSwapDone`, and `OnServeDone` must make a decision and return. The one method allowed to block is `OnUnload`, and only because it must wait on the synchronous `StopProcesses` so the admin caller's guarantee holds.
+
+- **Respect the `GrantServe` boolean.** Only count a request as in-flight when `GrantServe` returns true (see the in-flight contract above). A false return means the caller is gone; no `ServeDoneEvent` will ever arrive, so incrementing on false permanently strands the counter.
+
+- **Account for in-flight swaps in your running set.** When you call `Swapper.EvictionFor`, the running set you pass must include not just live processes (`Effects.RunningModels`) but also the targets of swaps you've already started that aren't yet visible in process state — otherwise the swapper contradicts decisions already in motion.
+
+What each method must do:
+
+- **`OnRequest(req)`** — every request must resolve to exactly one of: granted, errored, joined (piggybacks an in-flight swap), queued, or swap-started. No request may be silently dropped.
+
+- **`OnSwapDone(ev)`** — deliver the result to every waiter that joined this swap (grant on success, error on `ev.Err`), drop the swap from active tracking, then re-examine anything queued — a finished swap may have unblocked it.
+
+- **`OnServeDone(ev)`** — decrement the model's in-flight count; when it hits zero, re-examine the queue. Do **not** clear in-flight counts by hand; the handlers post their own `ServeDoneEvent`s on return.
+
+- **`OnUnload(targets, timeout)`** — error out any waiters or queued requests for the unloaded models, call `Effects.StopProcesses` (synchronously — the admin caller relies on the process being dead afterwards), then re-examine the queue.
+
+- **`OnShutdown(err)`** — error out every waiter you still hold (active swap waiters and queued requests). Don't touch processes; teardown is `baseRouter`'s job.
+
+Expose a constructor matching the `Factory` shape:
+
+```go
+func NewMyScheduler(name string, logger *logmon.Monitor, swapper Swapper, eff Effects) *MyScheduler {
+    // ...
+}
+
+// in the concrete router:
+base := newBaseRouter(name, conf, processes, proxylog,
+    func(name string, logger *logmon.Monitor, eff scheduler.Effects) scheduler.Scheduler {
+        return scheduler.NewMyScheduler(name, logger, swapper, eff)
+    })
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Schedulers** are tested as pure state machines in the `scheduler` package:
+  drive the `On*` methods directly against a `fakeEffects` and assert on the
+  recorded grants/starts/stops. No goroutines, no sleeps. See
+  `scheduler/fifo_test.go` as the reference; follow the `TestSchedulerName_<scenario>`
+  naming convention.
+- **`baseRouter` mechanism** (run loop, `grant`/`ServeHTTP`, `Unload`,
+  `Shutdown`) is tested in `base_test.go`. The run loop exposes a
+  `testProcessed` channel so tests can wait for an event to be fully processed
