Is /api/v1/classify/intent intend to use a unifiedClasifier when there is already a /api/v1/classify/batch using the unifiedClasifier.

i walk through the code, and find out that ext_proc uses the legacy classifier

func NewOpenAIRouter(configPath string) (*OpenAIRouter, error) {
    ...
    classifier, err := classification.NewClassifier(cfg, categoryMapping, piiMapping, jailbreakMapping)
    ...
}

If /api/v1/classify/intent uses unifiedClassifier, then is the implementation of this endpoint inconsistent with the classification in ext_proc?

a legacy classifier use the modernBert model and the unifiedClassifier prefer lora model. and these two may return different category results.

for example: user input is. "3*5=?"
the unifiedClassifier returns "business", whereas the legacy classifier returns "math"—and clearly, "math" is the correct result.

@AkisAya You're absolutely right!
This is definitely a LoRA model training quality issue. I compared the label mappings:
LoRA Model (lora_intent_classifier_bert-base-uncased_model): 3 categories

{
  "category_to_idx": {
    "business": 0,
    "law": 1, 
    "psychology": 2
  }
}

Legacy Model (category_classifier_modernbert-base_model): 14 categories including "math"

{
  "category_to_idx": {
    "biology": 0, "business": 1, "chemistry": 2, "computer science": 3,
    "economics": 4, "engineering": 5, "health": 6, "history": 7,
    "law": 8, "math": 9, "other": 10, "philosophy": 11, 
    "physics": 12, "psychology": 13
  }
}

Re-train LoRA models with complete category sets matching the legacy model and sufficient training data for math/science domains.
it's a model training issue, not a classifier code problem.

The token sequence classifier should have the location index. Can you follow up in another PR? Thanks

[rootfs]

why using hardcoded values? no security result can have a special output but a hardcoded response like this is a bit confusing.
