parseTier returns a prefix tier for bare hyphenated tier names

[MicroMilo]

Summary

parseTier can return the wrong token-saver tier when knownTiers contains names where one tier is a word-prefix of another hyphenated tier. The fallback parser checks shorter tiers with a word-boundary regex before checking whether the cleaned judge output exactly equals the longer tier.

Code path

• src/router/tokenSaver/parseTier.ts:3-20 strips code fences, handles <tier>...</tier>, then falls back to iterating knownTiers.
• src/router/tokenSaver/parseTier.ts:13-17 uses \b${tier}\b, which treats - as a word boundary.
• src/router/tokenSaver/generateJudgePrompt.ts:25 asks the judge to return <tier>NAME</tier>, but parseTier intentionally accepts non-tagged fallback text.
• src/router/config/schema.ts:25-30 defines router.tokenSaver.tiers as user-configured tier names.

Steps to reproduce

On the current main code path, the following minimal call returns the shorter prefix tier:

import { parseTier } from "./src/router/tokenSaver/parseTier.js";

console.log(parseTier("a-a", ["a", "a-a"]));

Actual result:

"a"

Expected result:

"a-a"

A practical configuration can hit the same shape with tier names such as fast and fast-pro if the judge returns a bare tier name instead of the preferred tag wrapper.

Expected behavior

When the cleaned judge output is exactly a known tier name, that exact tier should take precedence over word-boundary substring matches.

Actual behavior

The fallback branch iterates knownTiers in order. Because a hyphen is a word boundary, "a-a" matches \ba\b and returns "a" before the parser reaches "a-a".

Existing coverage

I could not find an existing open or closed issue/PR covering this parseTier / token-saver tier-prefix collision.

Suggested fix

One focused fix is to check exact cleaned tier equality before the regex fallback, case-insensitively. Another option is to sort fallback candidates by descending length before applying word-boundary matching.

Suggested tests

• parseTier("a-a", ["a", "a-a"]) returns "a-a".
• parseTier("<tier>a-a</tier>", ["a", "a-a"]) still returns "a-a".
• A bare output like "please use a-a" keeps the intended fallback behavior without selecting "a" first.
