Review Comment:
   This checks the durable ids. But `FakeRunnerContext` (`:212-221`) always 
calls through in both `durableExecute` and `durableExecuteAsync`, and there is 
no way to seed a stored result. So no test takes the replay path.
   
   That leaves two things unproven: a stored abstain resolving to the router's 
current default (`ModelRoutingResolver.java:279-281`), and `decision_ms` 
surviving replay (`:290-292`), which is the reason the PR body gives for the 
second durable write.
   
   A small map in the fake keyed on `callable.getId()` would open that path. 
Would that be worth adding here, or is replay meant to be covered end-to-end?

Review Comment:
   This catch treats "not a judge" and "a judge with bad arguments" the same 
way. A judge subclass without `judge_model` throws from `super(args)`, lands 
here, and returns `null`. So `validateLlmJudgeReferences` skips that router, 
including the judge-model check. `build()` misses it too, because the guard at 
`ModelRouter.java:266` compares the exact class name. 
`judgeSubclassIsValidatedByAssignability` passes valid args, so this case is 
untested.
   
   Under the default `FAIL` you get a loud error per record. Under `IGNORE` the 
request is dropped with a warning, so routing is quietly off for the whole job. 
That is what the javadoc at `:699-703` is trying to prevent.
   
   Would it help for `instantiateIfLlmJudge` to tell the two apart, returning 
`null` only when the class is absent or not a judge, and letting a bad-args 
failure through?

Review Comment:
   `ModelRoutingResolver.java:272-273` and `:283-284` already put 
`decision_source` into the decision metadata, and that map goes in under 
`"metadata"` five lines below. So when a judge-routed request falls back, the 
same block says `decision_source = "fallback"` here and 
`metadata.decision_source = "llm_judge"` inside. The fallback event at 
`ChatModelAction.java:413-424` splits the same way.
   
   Nothing in production reads the nested one. Reads go to the event attribute 
(`ModelRoutingEvent.java:153`) or to this top-level key 
(`ChatModelActionRoutingTest.java:702`, `:909`). The only assertion on the 
nested map is the `containsKey` at `:377`.
   
   Since the PR body treats `decision_source` as consumer-visible, would 
dropping the two resolver puts be enough? Or does the judge path want its own 
key there, under a name that cannot clash?

Review Comment:
   `judge_prompt_tokens` and `judge_completion_tokens` are new here and appear 
only at these two writes. `FakeChatModel.chat` 
(`ChatModelActionRoutingTest.java:95-107`) never sets `extraArgs`, so both 
branches are dead in every test and neither key has been produced once.
   
   The PR body lists both under compatibility impact, and the comment at `:376` 
says every shipped payload key is read or asserted somewhere.
   
   One `FakeChatModel` outcome with `extraArgs = Map.of("promptTokens", 12, 
"completionTokens", 3)` plus an assertion would close it. Would you rather do 
that, or narrow what the comment claims?

Review Comment:
   This goes Python out and Python back in: `model_dump_json()` then 
`model_validate_json()`. Java is never involved. If Java emitted a different 
key or shape for `strategy_clazz` / `strategy_args`, this would still pass. So 
it does not yet back the PR body's line about proving Java plans deserialize in 
Python.
   
   The snapshot helper in this file (`_SNAPSHOT_DIR` at `:52`, used by the test 
at `:293`) could give that claim something real. Is pointing this at a 
Java-produced plan practical, or would narrowing the claim be easier?
