DGR-061: Certify existing routing with 10+ GGUF stage candidates

Status / triage: specification only; ready-for-agent; passes: false
Execution mode: AFK
Milestone: M4
Dependencies: DGR-043, DGR-057, DGR-058
Blocks (derived): DGR-062, DGR-063
Labels: area:tracker, area:scale, type:simulation, priority:p1, ready-for-agent
Evidence class: fixture
Hardware: none
Model: generic
Upstream: no

Objective / description

Fresh Ralph session: read .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/RALPH-CONTEXT.md, source issue .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/issues/061-certify-existing-routing-with-10-gguf-stage-candidates.md, and evidence READMEs for dependencies (DGR-043, DGR-057, DGR-058) before changing code. Inspect live source/tests rather than trusting legacy pass states. Objective: Certify that existing backend-agnostic routing consumes GGUF compatibility and measured-cost inputs for a 10+ candidate scenario without algorithm or policy redesign.

Acceptance criteria

Generate deterministic pools with 10+ compatible GGUF stage candidates plus slower, overloaded, unhealthy, and incompatible alternatives.
Run the existing routing implementation unchanged and verify complete coverage, compatibility, acyclicity, and use of measured inputs.
Regression-test that no stage count, quant, fixed split, architecture, or backend sequence is encoded in production routing policy.
Verify existing route recomputation reacts to measured load/failure while tracker, load-balancing, billing, relay, and provider semantics remain unchanged.
Applicable shared quality gates in prd.json pass, and the evidence handoff records exact commands/results, changed files, limitations, and dependency handoff.

Shared quality gates

Targeted deterministic tests pass; Python changes also pass python -m compileall packages tests.
git diff --check passes.
Default tests are model-download-free, API-credit-free, and GPU-free.
Evidence README records exact changed files, commands/results, limitations, and dependency handoff; no fabricated evidence or inherited completion credit.

Evidence handoff

Write and verify .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-061/README.md. Until every criterion and applicable gate has real evidence, this story remains passes: false. Legacy evidence is provenance only, not completion credit.
