Do you happen to know where I can find the code or white paper for the current, working, routing algorithm?

Sure.

- Onion Routing Protocol: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/maste...

- P2P Node and Channel Discovery https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/maste...

This repo contains specs for a lot of parts of the LN, although probably there may be changes I imagine.

As for code, one of the implementations, LND (Go): https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/tree/master/routing but there are at least 3 other implementations in the works.
