nc://sabi

Sabi: the local routing proxy as a provider, with its attribution headers. A Nodecode rewrite of vizuh/sabi by vizuh.

Sabi is a proxy that runs on your own machine, speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions wire, and decides per request which model, effort and provider a turn goes to. A client sends one alias, sabi-code, and gets Sabi's routing; the client keeps its own loop, tools and permissions.

With this cell, /models lists Sabi with the one alias, and a turn on sabi/sabi-code goes to the address in its section — http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1 by default — carrying the attribution Sabi groups a trajectory by:

• X-Sabi-Client: nodecode — who is asking, so Sabi can tell its clients apart
• X-Sabi-Session: <session id> — the Nodecode session, when its id is a short opaque string; anything else is left off rather than rewritten

Nothing else about the request changes: the same history, tools and arguments go out, and no stale copy of those headers survives. Only a round whose provider is sabi is touched, and no key is asked for — the upstream credential belongs to the proxy.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the sabi cell", or run nodecode add nc://sabi.

Set it up

Run the Sabi proxy on the same machine (hermes proxy start in the original recipe, or Sabi's own setup) and leave its base as it is. There is no key in this cell. If the proxy listens somewhere else, say so in the section:

{
  "sabi": {
    "base_url": "http://127.0.0.1:9911/v1",
    "context_tokens": 65536
  }
}

context_tokens is what the picker reports for the alias and what a turn is sized against; Sabi spends it per upstream model, so keep it at or below what the models behind it actually offer.

Use it

Pick Sabi in /models — or say "use sabi" — and work as usual. Sabi decides what each request runs on; this cell only says who is asking. /settings has the section, and turning the folder off in /cells puts every provider back exactly as it was.
