Modifications to crates/lunaroute-routing/src/provider_router.rs:
- Added extract_rate_limit_info() method to parse rate limit errors
  from error messages
- Modified try_provider() to accept strategy and rule_name parameters
  for rate limit context tracking
- Updated try_provider() to detect rate limit errors and record them
  in strategy state for LimitsAlternative strategies
- Updated send() method to extract strategy reference and pass it
  through to all try_provider() calls
- Added warning logs when providers are rate-limited

This completes the integration of rate limit detection and tracking
in the router layer. When a LimitsAlternative strategy is used and
a provider returns a rate limit error, the router now:
1. Extracts retry-after information from the error
2. Records the rate limit in the strategy state
3. Logs a warning with rate limit details
4. On next request, strategy will automatically skip rate-limited
   providers and try alternatives

All 118 routing tests passing.
All integration tests passing.

## Phase 4: Observability (crates/lunaroute-observability/src/metrics.rs)

Added three new Prometheus metrics for rate limit tracking:

1. **rate_limits_total** (CounterVec)
   - Labels: provider, model
   - Tracks total rate limit errors encountered

2. **rate_limit_alternatives_used** (CounterVec)
   - Labels: primary_provider, alternative_provider, model
   - Tracks when alternative providers are used due to rate limits

3. **rate_limit_backoff_seconds** (HistogramVec)
   - Labels: provider
   - Buckets: 60s, 120s, 240s, 480s, 960s, 1920s, 3840s
   - Tracks backoff duration distribution

Added helper methods:
- `record_rate_limit(provider, model, backoff_secs)`: Records rate limit event
- `record_alternative_used(primary, alternative, model)`: Records alternative usage

These metrics enable monitoring of:
- Rate limit frequency per provider/model
- Alternative provider usage patterns
- Backoff duration distribution for capacity planning

## Phase 5: Configuration (examples/configs/routing-strategies.yaml)

Added complete example of limits-alternative routing strategy:

```yaml
strategy:
  type: "limits-alternative"
  primary_providers:
    - "openai-primary"
    - "openai-backup"
  alternative_providers:
    - "anthropic-primary"
    - "anthropic-backup"
  exponential_backoff_base_secs: 60
```

Example demonstrates:
- Cross-dialect failover (OpenAI → Anthropic)
- Multiple primaries and alternatives
- Automatic format translation
- Exponential backoff configuration

The LimitsAlternative strategy is now fully configurable via YAML
thanks to serde support added in Phase 2.

All 36 observability tests passing.

…trategy

Added 6 integration tests covering all key scenarios:
- test_basic_rate_limit_switch: Primary returns 429, alternative succeeds
- test_cross_dialect_alternative: OpenAI→Anthropic failover with translation
- test_cascade_through_alternatives: Sequential failover through multiple rate-limited alternatives
- test_auto_recovery_to_primary: Automatic return to primary after retry-after expires
- test_all_providers_rate_limited: Error when all providers exhausted
- test_exponential_backoff_without_retry_after: Fallback backoff when header missing

Critical router enhancement: Added immediate alternative retry loop in provider_router.rs
- When rate limit detected, router now tries alternatives immediately within same request
- Tracks tried providers to prevent infinite loops
- Continues loop only if alternative also returns rate limit
- Stops on non-rate-limit errors or when alternatives exhausted
- Refactored to address clippy warnings (collapsible-if, while-let-loop)

All 6 tests passing. This completes the core functionality of limits-alternative strategy.

This commit wires up the Prometheus metrics that were defined in Phase 4
but never instrumented in the Router. This ensures observability of rate
limit behavior in production.

Changes:
1. Add metrics field to Router struct
   - Added Optional<Arc<Metrics>> field for backward compatibility
   - Updated Router::new() to accept metrics parameter
   - Updated Router::with_defaults() to pass None

2. Wire up metrics calls in router
   - Record rate_limits_total when rate limit detected (provider_router.rs:226-231)
   - Record rate_limit_alternatives_used when alternative succeeds (provider_router.rs:335-342)
   - Metrics recorded with provider, model, and backoff duration

3. Update all test files to use new Router::new() signature
   - Enhanced test_basic_rate_limit_switch to create metrics and verify counters
   - Updated Router::new() calls in 6 test files (13 total calls)
   - Files updated:
     * crates/lunaroute-routing/src/provider_router.rs (2 unit test calls)
     * crates/lunaroute-routing/tests/router_integration.rs (2 calls)
     * crates/lunaroute-routing/tests/router_streaming_integration.rs (2 calls)
     * crates/lunaroute-integration-tests/tests/limits_alternative_strategy.rs (6 calls)
     * crates/lunaroute-integration-tests/tests/router_observability_integration.rs (2 calls)
     * crates/lunaroute-integration-tests/tests/streaming_e2e.rs (1 call)

4. Add lunaroute-observability dependency
   - Added to crates/lunaroute-routing/Cargo.toml
   - Enables cross-crate metrics instrumentation

Test Results:
- All routing unit tests passing (14 tests)
- All routing integration tests passing (5 + 3 tests)
- All limits-alternative integration tests passing (6 tests)
- Metrics verification in test_basic_rate_limit_switch confirms instrumentation works

Addresses security findings from rust-web-security-reviewer:

1. HIGH: Fix unbounded growth of rate limit state map
   - Add MAX_RATE_LIMIT_ENTRIES constant (1000 entries)
   - Implement size checking at 90% capacity threshold
   - Clean up expired entries when approaching limit
   - Refuse new entries and log warnings if still at capacity after cleanup
   - Location: crates/lunaroute-routing/src/strategy.rs:77,266-288

2. MEDIUM: Cap retry-after values to prevent indefinite blocking
   - Add MAX_RETRY_AFTER_SECS constant (48 hours = 172800s)
   - Cap all retry-after values at 48 hours maximum
   - Log warnings for values exceeding 24 hours (WARN_THRESHOLD_SECS)
   - Based on research: OpenAI can return up to 24h for daily quota limits
   - Location: crates/lunaroute-egress/src/retry_after.rs:17-138

Security rationale:
- Unbounded growth: Prevents memory exhaustion attacks via fake provider IDs
- Retry-after cap: Prevents malicious/misconfigured providers from blocking indefinitely
- Both fixes include structured logging for monitoring and alerting

Test results:
- All 8 retry-after parsing tests passing (3 new tests added)
- All 23 strategy tests passing
- All 6 limits-alternative integration tests passing
- No regressions in existing functionality

Replace brittle string parsing for rate limit detection with proper
structured error handling. This addresses MEDIUM priority security
issue identified by rust-web-security-reviewer.

Changes:
- Add RateLimitExceeded variant to core Error enum
- Update From<EgressError> to preserve structured rate limit info
- Replace extract_rate_limit_info() string parsing with pattern matching
- Remove fragile error message parsing that could be manipulated

Security Benefits:
- No longer relies on error message format (fragile and error-prone)
- Prevents potential manipulation of error strings
- Uses type-safe pattern matching on structured errors
- Cleaner separation of concerns (egress layer owns rate limit detection)

Testing:
- All 301 workspace tests passing
- Clippy checks passing
- No behavioral changes, only internal refactoring
