feat: LLM Provider Abstraction Layer

[HuiNeng6]

Overview

Implements LLM Provider Abstraction Layer for managing multiple LLM providers with automatic model selection and fallback handling, as requested in issue #99.

Features Implemented

✅ Universal Provider Interface

• Single API for all LLM providers
• Consistent interface across OpenAI, Anthropic, Together AI
• Easy provider registration and management

✅ Automatic Model Selection

• Cost-based selection (minimize API costs)
• Speed-based selection (minimize latency)
• Quality-based selection (maximize output quality)
• Balanced selection (all factors)

✅ Smart Fallback Handling

• Automatic failover to alternative providers
• Exponential backoff retry logic
• Circuit breaker pattern for failing providers
• Configurable fallback strategies

✅ Cost Tracking & Optimization

• Per-request cost tracking
• Budget management and limits
• Historical cost analysis
• Cost by provider/model breakdown

✅ Performance Monitoring

• Latency tracking (min/max/avg)
• Success rate monitoring
• Health status (healthy/degraded/unhealthy)
• Aggregate statistics

Modules Added

Module	Description
Lux.LLM.Provider	Main provider interface
Lux.LLM.ProviderRegistry	Provider registration and lookup (ETS)
Lux.LLM.ModelSelector	Intelligent model selection
Lux.LLM.FallbackHandler	Failover and retry logic
Lux.LLM.CostTracker	Cost monitoring and budgets
Lux.LLM.PerformanceMonitor	Latency and health tracking

Usage Examples

# Automatic provider selection
{:ok, response} = Lux.LLM.Provider.call("Hello!", [], %{})

# Cost-optimized selection
{:ok, response} = Lux.LLM.Provider.call("Hello!", [], %{priority: :cost})

# With fallback
{:ok, response} = Lux.LLM.Provider.call("Hello!", [], %{fallback: :all})

# Track costs
Lux.LLM.CostTracker.set_budget(:daily, 10.0)
costs = Lux.LLM.CostTracker.get_costs_by_period(:daily)

# Monitor performance
stats = Lux.LLM.Provider.get_stats(:openai)

Testing

• Unit tests for all 6 modules
• Total: 6 test files, 30+ test cases

Files Changed

• 13 files changed
• 2,319+ lines added
• Complete integration with existing Lux patterns

Acceptance Criteria Status

• Design and implement universal provider interface
• Create provider registry and management system
• Implement automatic model selection logic
• Add intelligent fallback handling
• Implement cost tracking and optimization
• Add performance monitoring and analytics
• Include documentation and examples

Closes #99
