# LLM Providers: Guardrails and Fix Patterns

A compact hub to stabilize provider-specific failures without changing your infra. Use this when symptoms look “model problem” but root cause is actually schema, retrieval, or orchestration.

## Open these first
- Visual map and recovery: [RAG Architecture & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md)
- End-to-end retrieval knobs: [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md)
- Why this snippet (traceability schema): [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
- Ordering control: [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
- Embedding vs meaning: [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md)
- Hallucination and chunk boundaries: [Hallucination](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/hallucination.md)
- Long chains and entropy: [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md), [Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md)
- Structural collapse and recovery: [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md)
- Snippet and citation schema: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)
- Live ops: [Live Monitoring for RAG](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/ops/live_monitoring_rag.md), [Debug Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/ops/debug_playbook.md)
- Boot order issues: [Bootstrap Ordering](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md), [Deployment Deadlock](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/deployment-deadlock.md), [Pre-Deploy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/predeploy-collapse.md)

## Core acceptance
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
- Coverage ≥ 0.70 for the target section
- λ remains convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds
- E_resonance stays flat through long windows

## Typical provider symptoms → exact fix

| Symptom | Likely cause | Open this |
|---|---|---|
| JSON mode breaks, invalid objects | schema too loose or nested tool calls | [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md), [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md) |
| Tool calls loop or stall | agent role drift, missing timeouts | [Multi-Agent Problems](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/Multi-Agent_Problems.md), [role-drift deep dive](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/multi-agent-chaos/role-drift.md) |
| High similarity yet wrong snippet | metric mismatch or fragmented store | [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md), [Vectorstore Fragmentation](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md) |
| Answers flip between runs | prompt headers reorder and λ flips | [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md), [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) |
| Hybrid retrievers worse than single | query parsing split, mis-weighted rerank | [Query Parsing Split](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_query_parsing_split.md), [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md) |
| Jailbreaks or bluffing | overconfidence and missing fences | [Bluffing Controls](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bluffing.md), [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) |

## Fix in 60 seconds
1) **Measure ΔS**  
   Compute ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, expected anchor).  
   Stable < 0.40, transitional 0.40–0.60, risk ≥ 0.60.

2) **Probe λ_observe**  
   Vary k and prompt headers. If λ flips, lock the schema and apply a BBAM variance clamp.

3) **Apply the module**  
- Retrieval drift → BBMC + Data Contracts  
- Reasoning collapse → BBCR bridge + BBAM  
- Dead ends in long runs → BBPF alternate paths

4) **Verify**  
Coverage ≥ 0.70 on three paraphrases. λ convergent on two seeds.

## Provider-level gotchas checklist
- **Truncation**. Confirm token accounting for system + tools + hidden preambles. If truncated, compress citations through [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md).  
- **Streaming chunk boundaries**. Do not parse partial JSON while λ is unstable. Buffer until BBAM settles.  
- **Temperature and top-p**. If ΔS is already high, reduce entropy. If retrieval is sparse, raise recall through rerankers instead of temperature.  
- **Multi-model routing**. Keep traceability stable when swapping GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral. Use the same snippet schema and citation header across providers.  
- **Rate limits and retries**. Backoff with idempotent ops. Never rebuild indexes inside retry loops.  
- **Eval parity**. Run the same acceptance on all providers to avoid overfitting a single model.

say “GO” and I’ll do the first provider page. I suggest `ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/LLM_Providers/openai.md` next.
