Many LLM inference problems, including model routing, prefix-cache management, prompt trimming, and test-time search, can be viewed as optimization over a tree. This structure arises naturally from autoregressive generation: every prefix defines a node, and its continuations form a subtree below it. Internal nodes of the tree provide cheap but biased estimates of a region's value, while leaf evaluations are expensive but accurate. Hierarchical bandit methods can exploit this structure, but typically require a specific smoothness schedule to be specified in advance, even though real objectives are often only piecewise smooth and their optima may lie near sharp boundaries. We introduce CANOPY, a multi-fidelity tree bandit that learns where the smoothness prior is valid rather than assuming it globally. CANOPY uses cheap random-path probes to construct an online certificate of local aggregation bias, then directs expensive leaf evaluations toward cells where the certificate detects a smoothness violation. We prove fixed-budget and regret guarantees whose additional cost is additive in the number of discontinuities, recovering the smooth-tree rate when no violations are present and approaching structure-blind search as violations become dense. Across routing, top-$k$ identification, test-time search, caching, and prompt trimming, CANOPY consistently improves matched-budget performance, including $2.9\times$ higher top-10 recall on a 1000-model pool, $1.6\times$ more SWE-bench Verified issues resolved than best-of-$N$, and $3.6\times$ lower median time-to-first-token with prefix caching.
