guard.enabled (unset is on) makes every policy check nothing while false,
live: llmgw ctl guard off/on set it in the cluster's settings, and ctl
status, ctl guard list and the guardrails page say when they are off.
A refusal by a judge names the hazard it saw - judge: S6,Specialized
Advice - and the verdict is kept with the request in a new usage column,
guard_rule, shown by ctl request, the request log and the guardrails page.
llmgw ctl guard judge ask has a judge read a text, past the cache, and shows
its raw answer and how it is read; the endpoint is kept out of the audit so
no text is recorded.

llmgw keys cache --project P --ttl 1h [--any] | --off, and Cache answers… on
the console's project menu. The same request — project, endpoint, canonical
model and the body without stream, stream_options, user, metadata, store and
service_tier, keys sorted — is answered from the gateway's memory for the
TTL. Only reproducible answers (temperature 0 or a seed; embeddings, rerank,
score) unless --any; only a whole 200 from the model asked for, not a
fallback's, a canary's, or one a guardrail changed.
Looked up after the limits and the input guardrails; the output policy
judges a reused answer; no_store and stored conversations bypass it.
Streamed answers are kept put back together and streamed back as chunks.
x-llmgw-cache: hit|miss|bypass, Age on a hit, Cache-Control: no-cache or
x-llmgw-cache: no to bypass. A hit is recorded with no tokens and no cost,
marked cache_hit (migration 0027) and shown by ctl request. An LRU bounded
by router.cache.max_bytes and max_entry_bytes; llmgw_cache_requests_total,
llmgw_cache_bytes, llmgw_cache_entries.

"Why was this request slow?" had no answer. Nothing tied a request to the
replica that served it, the time admission held it went out in a response
header and was never kept, and the only per-request log lines were for
disconnects, early stream ends and upstream retries.
Every request now has an id: the client's X-Request-Id when it is a plain
string of reasonable length, otherwise one the gateway makes. It is set on
the response before anything else, so a request refused as malformed can be
named too, and forwarded to the engine. One access log line per request
carries it with the model asked for and served, the replica, status, time in
the queue, time to the first token, total time, tokens, and the key,
project and user.
Usage records gain the id, the replica, queue time and time to first token,
tried against a restored copy of the live store before being shipped: 591
rows kept, columns and index in place. `llmgw ctl request ID` reads one back
through the admin API.
