What

Cuts Get Started from 222 lines to about 140 by removing content that is
duplicated elsewhere in the repository, and makes the three overview
subsections parallel.

  • Path 1 (Relay) is now two links into the plugin README's Install and
    Configure Relay sections plus one sentence on where routes.toml comes from.
    The inline TOML and nemo-relay commands duplicated that README.
  • Path 2 (Library) keeps install, construct, and a six-line run_stream
    skeleton. The 30-line loop and its two explanatory paragraphs are replaced by
    a pointer to examples/libsy.py, which already held the complete version and
    had started to diverge from the README copy.
  • Path 3 (Proxy) is unchanged. Nothing else in the repo has the curl,
    --dry-run, /v1/stats, and agent env-var wiring together.
  • Overview subsections all follow the same shape now: prose, an install
    bullet, a "then follow Path N" bullet, diagram. The Run subsection's
    cargo install block was byte-identical to Path 3 step 1.
  • Get Started intro drops the "each is self-contained" claim, which was no
    longer true, and replaces it with: point Claude Code or Codex at this README
    and ask it to set up the path you want.

386 → 303 lines, 1956 → ~1530 words.

Why

Get Started was 61% of the README, and Path 2 alone was the largest section in
the file. Most of that length was reference prose and a second copy of an
example that lives in examples/.

Notes for reviewers

  • examples/libsy.py was run before this PR pointed at it as the canonical
    example.
    Exit 0 with its built-in echo client; routes and streams.
  • The Path 2 skeleton uses a placeholder my_client and ignores fallbacks.
    Deliberate: it shows the shape in six lines, and the next sentence sends
    readers to the full version. Inlining fallbacks again costs about 12 lines.
  • Pre-existing inconsistency, not fixed here: the Integrate overview bullet
    says pip install nemo-switchyard, while Path 2 says PyPI 0.2.0 has an older
    API and to install from git. One of them is wrong for a reader today.

Walkthrough

README setup guidance was condensed. Detailed proxy deployment, plugin configuration, fallback routing, error handling, and Rust dependency examples were replaced with links and shorter Python examples.

Changes

README setup guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Standalone proxy path
README.md
The standalone proxy section now links to the dedicated setup path.
Getting Started paths
README.md
Path 1 links to plugin installation and configuration. Path 2 provides shorter source-install guidance.
Algorithm and streaming example
README.md
The algorithm explanation and run_stream example now show a minimal model-call flow.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13848

The shortened library example omits candidate fallback and failure handling, while the Python install command can drift from the documented source revision. The impact is limited to onboarding documentation, but these issues should be addressed before merge.

used by the Rust instructions instead of following the default branch.

Pin the Python installation to an immutable source revision.

The Python command follows the default branch, while the Rust instructions require a pinned rev. Use the same commit or release tag for both integrations.

Preserve candidate fallback and failure handling. examples/libsy.py uses only call.models[0] and has no call.fail(...) path. Restore these branches so the Path 2 example handles failed candidates. The example already preserves outcome.response reuse and streaming responses.
