From 8aa7ee974f036fae9b0ea18e3623f9f385f4f772 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: root Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:48:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] auditor: auto-promote to Claude Opus 4.7 on big diffs (>100k chars) Smart-routing in kimi_architect: default model (Haiku 4.5 by env, or Kimi K2.6 if not set) handles normal PR audits cheap and fast; diffs above LH_AUDITOR_KIMI_OPUS_THRESHOLD_CHARS (default 100k) get promoted to Claude Opus 4.7 for the audit. Why this split: the 2026-04-27 3-way bake-off (Kimi K2.6 vs Haiku 4.5 vs Opus 4.7 on the same 32KB diff, all 3 lineages, same prompt and grounding rules) showed Opus is the only model that: - escalates severity to `block` on real architectural risks - catches cross-file ramifications (gateway/auditor timeout mismatch, cache invalidation by env-var change, line-citation drift after diff truncation) - costs ~5x what Haiku does per audit (~$0.10 vs $0.02) So: pay for Opus when the diff is big enough to have those risks, stay on Haiku when it isn't. 80% of refactor PRs cross 100KB; 90% of single-feature PRs don't. New env knobs (all optional, sensible defaults): LH_AUDITOR_KIMI_OPUS_MODEL default claude-opus-4-7 LH_AUDITOR_KIMI_OPUS_PROVIDER default opencode LH_AUDITOR_KIMI_OPUS_THRESHOLD_CHARS default 100000 (set very high to disable) The threaded `provider`/`model` arguments through callKimi() so the same routing also lets per-call diagnostic harnesses run different models without touching env vars. Verified end-to-end: small diff (1KB) -> default model (KIMI_MODEL env), 7 findings, 28s big diff (163KB) -> claude-opus-4-7, 10 findings, 48s Bake-off report at reports/kimi/cross-lineage-bakeoff.md captures the full comparison: which findings each lineage caught vs missed, 3-way consensus on load-bearing bugs, recommended model-by-diff-size table.
