## LLM Inference in Workflows

The Poimen workflows system includes built-in LLM inference activities that call `/v1/chat/completions` via the gateway.

### LLMInferenceActivity

Single-prompt LLM inference within a workflow.

**Workflow Definition (Canvas Node):**
```json
{
  "id": "llm-node-1",
  "type": "llm-inference",
  "label": "Analyze Code with LLM",
  "data": {
    "model": "reasoning",
    "system_prompt": "You are a code analysis expert. Provide detailed feedback.",
    "user_prompt": "Analyze this code for security issues: {{ previous_output.code }}",
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "max_tokens": 2048,
    "auth_token": "{{ user.jwt_token }}"
  }
}
```

**Fields:**
- `model` (required): Model ID (reasoning, ornith:35b, ornith:13b, qwen2.5:3b)
- `system_prompt`: System instruction for the model
- `user_prompt` (required): User message to send
- `temperature`: Sampling temperature (0.0-1.0, default 0.7)
- `max_tokens`: Maximum output tokens
- `auth_token` (optional): JWT token for authenticated endpoints (propagates as Authorization: Bearer header)

**Backend Implementation:**
The LLMInferenceActivity in the workflows backend automatically:
1. Substitutes template variables (e.g., `{{ previous_output.code }}`)
2. Calls `/v1/chat/completions` with the resolved prompt
3. Returns the LLM response as activity output
4. Retries on transient failures (up to 3 attempts)
5. Timeouts after 120 seconds

**Output:**
```json
{
  "response": "The code has several security vulnerabilities...",
  "model": "reasoning",
  "stop_reason": "stop_sequence",
  "tokens_used": 450
}
```

**Supported Models:**
- `reasoning` — DeepSeek-R1-Distill (best for complex analysis)
- `ornith:35b` — Ollama 35B
- `ornith:13b` — Ollama 13B
- `qwen2.5:3b` — Qwen 2.5 3B

---

### LLMBatchInferenceActivity

Multiple-prompt LLM inference (sequential processing).

**Workflow Definition:**
```json
{
  "id": "llm-batch-1",
  "type": "llm-batch-inference",
  "label": "Batch Code Review",
  "data": {
    "model": "reasoning",
    "system_prompt": "Review each code snippet and provide feedback.",
    "prompts": [
      "Review snippet 1: {{ files[0].content }}",
      "Review snippet 2: {{ files[1].content }}",
      "Review snippet 3: {{ files[2].content }}"
    ],
    "auth_token": "{{ user.jwt_token }}"
  }
}
```

**Fields:**
- `model` (required): Model ID
- `system_prompt`: System instruction (same for all prompts)
- `prompts` (required): List of user prompts to process
- `temperature`: Sampling temperature (0.0-1.0)
- `auth_token` (optional): JWT token for authenticated endpoints (propagates as Authorization: Bearer header)

**Output:**
```json
{
  "responses": [
    "Snippet 1 review...",
    "Snippet 2 review...",
    "Snippet 3 review..."
  ],
  "model": "reasoning",
  "errors": []
}
```

**Typical Use Cases:**
- Batch code review across multiple files
- Parallel document summarization
- Comparative analysis of alternatives
- Policy compliance checking

---

### Workflow Integration Examples

**1. Code Analysis Workflow**
```
Clone Repo → Analyze Code → LLM Security Review → Generate Report → Notify
```

**2. Document Processing**
```
Retrieve Documents → Embed + Index → LLM Summarize (batch) → Archive
```

**3. Multi-Stage Review**
```
Retrieve Memory → LLM Context Extraction → Route to Activity A/B/C → Notify
```

---

### Authentication & Authorization

JWT tokens can be passed to LLM inference activities and are automatically propagated to the LLM API endpoint.

**Token Flow:**
```
Workflow Canvas
  ↓ (auth_token field)
Poimen Workflow Executor
  ↓ (passed to LLMInferenceActivity)
Activity calls LLM client
  ↓ (adds "Authorization: Bearer {token}" header)
homelab-frontend proxy
  ↓ (preserves Authorization header)
LLM Backend (reasoning/ollama/etc)
  ↓ (validates token)
Response returned
```

**Example: Passing User Token from RetrieveMemory Activity**
```json
{
  "id": "flow-1",
  "type": "retrieve-memory",
  "label": "Get User Context",
  "data": {...}
}
→
{
  "id": "llm-1",
  "type": "llm-inference",
  "label": "Analyze with User's Token",
  "data": {
    "model": "reasoning",
    "user_prompt": "...",
    "auth_token": "{{ previous_output.user_token }}"
  }
}
```

**Token Validation:**
- Tokens are validated by homelab-frontend proxy (checks signature, expiration)
- Only valid tokens are propagated to LLM backend
- Invalid tokens result in 401 Unauthorized error
- Missing token (if required) results in 401 Unauthorized

**Note:** The `auth_token` field is optional. If omitted, the LLM API is called without authentication (public endpoints only).

### CanvasReasonerActivity

Auto-suggest workflow connections using LLM reasoning. When you drop new activities onto the canvas, this activity analyzes them and suggests logical connections based on input/output compatibility and workflow patterns.

**Workflow Definition:**
```json
{
  "id": "canvas-reason-1",
  "type": "canvas-reasoner",
  "label": "Auto-Connect Activities",
  "data": {
    "nodes": "{{ workflow.nodes }}",
    "edges": "{{ workflow.edges }}",
    "preserve_existing": true,
    "auth_token": "{{ user.jwt_token }}"
  }
}
```

**Use Cases:**
- New nodes added to canvas → automatically suggest connections
- Validate workflow design → LLM reasoning explains connections
- Redesign workflow → suggest optimal activity sequence
- Data flow analysis → ensure proper input/output matching

**How It Works:**
1. Analyzes all node types and their configurations
2. Reviews existing edges (if preserving)
3. Uses reasoning model to infer logical connections
4. Returns suggested edges with confidence score
5. Includes reasoning explanation

**Output Example:**
```json
{
  "suggested_edges": [
    {"source": "clone-1", "target": "analyze-1"},
    {"source": "analyze-1", "target": "security-scan-1"},
    {"source": "security-scan-1", "target": "report-1"}
  ],
  "reasoning": "Clone repository first, analyze code, perform security scan, generate report. Standard code review workflow.",
  "confidence": 0.92
}
```

**Fields:**
- `nodes` (required): Canvas nodes to analyze
- `edges` (required): Current edges
- `preserve_existing` (optional, default true): Keep existing edges and only suggest new ones
- `auth_token` (optional): JWT for LLM reasoning calls

**Confidence Scores:**
- 0.9-1.0: High confidence (common patterns)
- 0.7-0.9: Medium confidence (reasonable connections)
- 0.5-0.7: Low confidence (multiple valid approaches)
- <0.5: Unsure (manual review recommended)

**Integration Example:**
```
User drops 3 new nodes on canvas
    ↓
Workflow calls CanvasReasonerActivity
    ↓
LLM analyzes: Clone → Analyze → Report
    ↓
Returns edges + reasoning
    ↓
Frontend updates canvas with suggested connections
    ↓
User approves/rejects suggestions
```

### Error Handling

If LLM inference fails:
- First activity retry (2-second backoff)
- Second activity retry (4-second backoff)
- Third activity retry (8-second backoff)
- If all retries fail, workflow records error and proceeds to next activity (or fails if terminal)

**Common Failure Scenarios:**
- Network timeout: `connection refused` (retry automatically)
- Model not found: `unknown model: xyz` (terminal error)
- Rate limited: HTTP 429 (retry with exponential backoff)
- Prompt too long: `context length exceeded` (terminal error)

### Performance & Cost

- Single prompt inference: ~100-500ms (model-dependent)
- Batch processing: Serial (not parallel), ~100-500ms per prompt
- Model inference costs: Free (on-premise Ollama/Reasoning models)
- Token counting: Provided in response for quota tracking

**Optimization Tips:**
- Use `ornith:13b` or `qwen2.5:3b` for faster inference
- Use `reasoning` only for complex analysis that needs reasoning
- Cache frequently-used prompts at workflow level
- Use batch activity for multiple similar prompts (better throughput)
