pproxy for muse on OpenRouter

A translating proxy that lets the muse coding agent run on OpenRouter despite its compiled-out provider support; the included verifier drives the real muse binary and passes 19/19 checks.

# pproxy

A translating proxy that lets the `muse` coding agent run on OpenRouter.

`muse`'s own provider support for OpenRouter is compiled out of the shipped binary
(`provider 'openrouter' is not compiled into this build`), and its `meta` provider
speaks a proprietary dialect. This proxy sits between them: `muse` is pointed at
`pproxy` with `--base-url`, and `pproxy` talks to OpenRouter.

**Status: verified working end to end.** `uv run pproxy-verify` drives the real
`muse` binary through the proxy and passes 19/19 checks.

## Quick start

```sh
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
uv run pproxy                                    # starts on 127.0.0.1:8817

# in another shell — META_API_KEY is an unused placeholder
MUSE_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 META_API_KEY=unused \
  muse --provider meta --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8817 \
       --model anthropic/claude-opus-5 --yolo
```

## What it translates

| muse sends              | pproxy does                                 | upstream          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| `GET /muse-code/models` | rewrite schema                              | `GET /models`     |
| `POST /responses`       | swap credential, backfill `sequence_number` | `POST /responses` |

Two findings drove the design, both established by experiment rather than assumed:

1. **The catalog is proprietary.** `/muse-code/models` is muse-specific in both path
   and schema. Rows need `id`, `model_id`, `provider_id`, `profile_id`,
   `display_label`, `visibility`, `release_date`, `display_order`, `is_default`,
   `context_limit`, `output_limit`; exactly one row must be `is_default` and visible;
   ids must be unique. `provider_id` stays `"meta"` on every row — muse rejects rows
   whose provider disagrees with the selected provider. The OpenRouter slug rides in
   `id`/`model_id`.

2. **muse requires `sequence_number` on every SSE event.** It reports only
   `error_kind=decode` with no field name. `pproxy-schemaprobe` bisected it: a stream
   identical except for that field is rejected, and accepted with it. OpenRouter does
   not always emit it, so the proxy backfills. The request body needs no translation
   at all — muse speaks the Responses API and OpenRouter serves `/responses`.

## Credentials

muse only ever sends `Bearer $META_API_KEY` and has no concept of an OpenRouter key,
so the pro

    Helicon: desktop app for Muse Code★

    I pay for @Muse Code but didn't want to live in a terminal. On Windows it's WSL-only. So I built Helicon: an open-source desktop app for the actual Muse CLI. • uses your existing muse login, no API key • talks to muse serve over MSP, so Muse stays the agent • resumes

    Medical bills audited line by line, $4,000 saved★

    Got Muse logged in to my medical provider’s portal, he pulled the itemized bills, and questioned every line. So far he’s found several times I’d been double billed, asked for some discounts and has saved me over $4,000. If your moat is bureaucracy, you’re cooked.
