# Responses Document Extraction (vLLM / llm-d)
# Requires `--features openai-file-resolve-filter` because these filters are opt-in.
#
# Converts `input_file` content parts to `input_text` for inference
# backends that do not natively support `input_file` (e.g. vLLM,
# llm-d). Text-safe document content (text/*, application/json,
# application/xml) is decoded from base64, validated as UTF-8, and
# forwarded as plain text.
#
# Pipeline order:
#   1. openai_responses_request — classify the request
#   2. openai_file_resolve      — resolve file_id → inline file_data
#   3. openai_doc_extract       — convert input_file → input_text
#   4. router + load_balancer   — forward to vLLM backend
#
# The file_resolve step is optional. If your clients always send
# inline file_data (not file_id references), you can omit it.
#
# Build:
#   cargo build -p praxis-ai-proxy --features openai-file-resolve-filter
