> **Note:** Editable installs (`pip install -e .`) are currently not supported; prefer wheel builds for development.
> **Note:** Use `maturin develop` for fast iteration during development (builds in debug mode and installs directly). Use `maturin build --release` for production wheels with full optimizations (opt-level="z", lto="fat"). The package uses abi3 support for Python 3.8+ compatibility.

When modifying runtime behavior, rebuild the wheel or run the binary directly. Use `python -m sglang_router.launch_server` to co-launch router and SGLang workers in small clusters for local validation.
For production builds, use `maturin build --release` to create optimized wheels. During development, `maturin develop` rebuilds and installs instantly without creating wheel files. Use `python -m sglang_router.launch_server` to co-launch router and SGLang workers in small clusters for local validation.
