Slight tangent, but “Wayfinder sits behind whatever OpenAI-compatible client you already use” reminds me that descriptions of where proxies sit in the information flow always seem so arbitrary to me:

  - “after the client”
  - “reverse proxy” (in front  of servers)
  - “proxy” (in front of client)
I always have to look this up, surely there must be a standardized way to describe this?

"after the client" and "in front of client" can mean the same thing depending on your viewpoint.
