Resilient AI Router with Auto-Failover & Error Protection

A middleware proxy for AI coding assistants that automatically switches to fallback models (like GPT-4o) when Claude experiences downtime. It intercepts 500 errors to prevent them from draining user quotas and maintains conversation context across providers.
