+## API Usage
+
+### Making Requests to PATH Gateway
+
+PATH requires the service ID to be specified via the `Target-Service-Id` HTTP header, not in the URL path.
+
+**Correct format:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3069/v1 \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Target-Service-Id: eth" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
+```
+
+**Common services:**
+- `eth` - Ethereum mainnet (supports: json_rpc, websocket)
+- `solana` - Solana mainnet (supports: json_rpc)
+- `poly` - Polygon (supports: json_rpc, websocket)
+- `xrplevm` - XRPL EVM (supports: json_rpc, rest, comet_bft, websocket)
+
+**RPC Type Detection:**
+PATH automatically detects the RPC type from the request:
+- **JSON-RPC**: POST with `{"jsonrpc":"2.0",...}` body
+  ```bash
+  curl -X POST http://localhost:3069/v1 \
+    -H "Target-Service-Id: eth" \
+    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
+  ```
+- **REST** (Cosmos SDK): GET/POST to Cosmos REST API paths
+  ```bash
+  # Cosmos SDK REST API (gRPC-gateway)
+  curl -X GET http://localhost:3069/v1/cosmos/base/tendermint/v1beta1/blocks/latest \
+    -H "Target-Service-Id: xrplevm"
+  ```
+- **CometBFT RPC**: GET/POST to CometBFT RPC paths
+  ```bash
+  # CometBFT JSON-RPC over HTTP
+  curl -X GET http://localhost:3069/v1/status \
+    -H "Target-Service-Id: xrplevm"
+  ```
+- **WebSocket**: WebSocket upgrade requests (for subscriptions)
+
+### Advanced Headers
+
+**Target-Suppliers** (Optional)
+Restricts relay requests to a specific list of supplier addresses, bypassing reputation and endpoint selection logic.
+
+Format: Comma-separated list of supplier addresses
+```bash
+# Send request only to specific suppliers
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3069/v1 \
+  -H "Target-Service-Id: eth" \
+  -H "Target-Suppliers: pokt1abc123...,pokt1def456...,pokt1ghi789..." \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Testing specific supplier endpoints
+- Debugging supplier-specific issues
+- Directing traffic to trusted suppliers for sensitive operations
+- Load testing specific infrastructure providers
+
+**Behavior:**
+- When `Target-Suppliers` header is present, PATH will:
+  - Filter available endpoints to only those from the specified suppliers
+  - Skip reputation-based filtering (allows targeting suppliers with low reputation)
+  - Still apply RPC type filtering (only endpoints supporting the requested RPC type)
+  - Log filtered supplier list and endpoint counts
+- If none of the specified suppliers are available in the current session, the request will fail
+- Header takes precedence over load testing configuration (if any)
+
+**App-Address** (Delegated Mode Only)
+Specifies the target application address when PATH is running in delegated mode.
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3069/v1 \
+  -H "Target-Service-Id: eth" \
+  -H "App-Address: pokt1app..." \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
+```

+## Summary
+
+Unified QoS system with per-service configuration, reputation-based endpoint selection, async observation pipeline, and comprehensive retry/fallback mechanisms including RPC type fallback with proper actualRPCType propagation.
+
+## New Features
+
+1. **Async Observation Pipeline** - Response parsing off critical path with configurable sampling
+2. **Reputation System** - Score-based endpoint quality tracking (0-100 scale)
+3. **Tiered Endpoint Selection** - 3-tier cascading selection (Tier 1 → Tier 2 → Tier 3)
+4. **Probation System** - Recovery mechanism for low-scoring endpoints (10% traffic sampling)
+5. **RPC Type Fallback** - Automatic fallback to alternative RPC types with actualRPCType propagation
+6. **RPC-Type-Aware Reputation** - Separate scores per (endpoint, RPC type) tuple
+7. **Configurable Cosmos QoS** - Custom RPC type support for hybrid chains (Cosmos+EVM)
+8. **Session Rollover** - Automatic endpoint refresh on session transitions with configurable rollover blocks
+9. **WebSocket Height Subscription** - Real-time blockchain height monitoring via WebSocket instead of polling
+10. **Distributed Health Checks** - Proactive endpoint monitoring with leader election (only one instance runs checks)
+11. **Latency-Aware Scoring** - Fast endpoints get bonuses, slow ones penalized
+12. **Named Latency Profiles** - Reusable configurations: `fast`, `standard`, `slow`, `llm`
+13. **Per-Service Configuration** - Override any global setting via `defaults` + `services[]`
+14. **External Health Check Rules** - Fetch health check definitions from remote URLs
+15. **Enhanced Retry System** - Endpoint rotation, latency budget, configurable conditions
+16. **Retry Endpoint Rotation** - Never retry same failed endpoint within request
+17. **Retry Latency Budget** - Skip retries on slow requests (configurable threshold)
+18. **Concurrency Controls** - Configurable limits: parallel endpoints, concurrent relays, batch payloads
+19. **Target-Suppliers Header** - Filter requests to specific suppliers via HTTP header
+20. **Error Classification System** - Comprehensive error categorization with reputation signals
+21. **WebSocket Monitoring** - Connection health tracking and failure detection
+22. **RPC Type Detection** - Automatic detection and validation from HTTP requests
+23. **Comprehensive Metrics** - Prometheus metrics for reputation, health checks, retries, sessions
+
+## Removed Systems
+
+1. **Hydrator Command** - Replaced by async observation pipeline
+2. **Sanctions System** - Replaced by reputation-based filtering
+3. **Hardcoded Service Configs** - Now fully YAML-driven configuration
+4. **Synchronous QoS Validation** - Moved to async background processing
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+1. **Reputation Storage Format**: Keys now include RPC type dimension (`serviceID:endpointAddr:rpcType`)
+   - Existing reputation data invalidated
+   - System rebuilds scores naturally (5-10 min settling period)
+
+2. **Protocol Interface Changes**:
+   - `AvailableHTTPEndpoints()` now requires `rpcType` parameter
+   - `BuildHTTPRequestContextForEndpoint()` now requires `rpcType` parameter
+
+3. **QoS Interface Changes**:
+   - `ParseHTTPRequest()` now receives `detectedRPCType` parameter
+
+4. **Configuration Structure**: New required sections
+   - `reputation_config` (global)
+   - `active_health_checks` (global)
+   - `observation_pipeline` (global)
+   - `defaults` (service defaults)
+   - `services` (per-service array)
+
+5. **Private Key Logging**: Now redacted (security fix)
+
+## Configuration

+- Global defaults and per-service overrides
