Subject: [PATCH 04/41] fix(logging): drop a first-token time left over from a
 previous attempt (#47541)

A request re-dispatched to a fallback keeps the same logging object but gets a
fresh start_time. completion_start_time was only filled when it was empty, so
an attempt that inherited a value from the earlier attempt reported a negative
TTFT. That value reaches both the spend log and the latency-based routing
cache, where one negative sample empties the buffer window and takes the whole
model group down until the cache entry expires.

Ignore a recorded first-token time that predates the attempt's start and fall
back to end_time, the value already used when none was recorded.

Subject: [PATCH 09/41] refactor(router): extract PythonCore behind RouterCore
 and pass the router its config (#49119)

* refactor(router): move litellm/router.py to litellm/router_python_core.py

A pure rename with no content change, so git and review tools track the router body as a move.
The next commit turns it into PythonCore and adds the Router facade back at litellm/router.py

* refactor(router): extract PythonCore behind RouterCore and pass the router its config

The routing logic moves unchanged from litellm/router.py into PythonCore in
litellm/router_python_core.py. Router becomes a facade that builds a RouterConfig, picks a
RouterCore with make_core and delegates every member to it. The core no longer reads or writes
litellm.* directly: process settings come from RouterDynamicConfig, and inference calls, sleeps,
callback lists and the global cache go through PythonHost. A CI check bans litellm.* in the router
modules, and the proxy's construction sites build the config outside the router

Settings are static: the constructor arguments and changeset values are copied when the router is
built or the change applied, and a write to a setting attribute becomes apply(ChangeSet(assign=...)).
A Router subclass's core class also subclasses the facade, so an override's super(Sub, self) works,
and an instance-level patch of a core method is kept on the facade so nested patches unwind.

tests/unit/test_router/core tests the core in isolation: ScriptedHost serves every host operation
(scripted inference answers, recorded sleeps, settings, callbacks, cache), and make_core runs each
test once per core in CORE_BUILDERS

 """
 litellm.Router: load balancing, retries, fallbacks and cooldowns across deployments.
 
-Public surface. The router is moving behind a narrow interface; code outside
-the router should end up using a Router through two kinds of members only:
-
-- endpoint methods (acompletion, aembedding, aresponses, aanthropic_messages,
-  the files, batches, assistants and vector store wrappers, ...), each a thin
-  wrapper around one call;
-- entry points (being added) that replace direct access to internals: registry() for
-  deployment lookups, settings() for configuration reads, health() for
-  cooldowns, blocks and usage, select() to pick a deployment without calling
-  it, apply() for runtime changes, observe() for routing events,
-  register_plugin() for strategies and sub-routers, and retire() to release
-  the router.
-
-Everything else on the class is internal. The members outside code uses today
-are listed in tests/code_coverage_tests/router_surface_allowlist.json, and a CI
-check (router_surface_check.py next to it) fails on any new outside use, so the
-list only shrinks while callers move to the entry points. The same interface
-is documented for the Rust core in litellm-rust/crates/router-core.
+``Router`` holds no routing logic. It builds its configuration (``litellm/router_config.py``), picks
+one ``RouterCore`` at construction (``litellm/router_core.py``) and delegates every member to it:
+the endpoint methods (acompletion, aembedding, aresponses, aanthropic_messages, ...) and the entry
+points (registry, settings, health, select, apply, observe, register_plugin, retire). The members
+outside code used before the entry points live in ``DeprecatedRouterMembers`` until they are removed.

-            client_ttl (int): Time-to-live for cached clients in seconds. Defaults to 3600.
-            polling_interval: (Optional[float]): frequency of polling queue. Only for '.scheduler_acompletion()'. Default is 3ms.
-            default_priority: (Optional[int]): the priority given to every chat or text completion request that sets no 'priority' of its own; '.acompletion()' and '.atext_completion()' queue it through the scheduler. Default is None.
-            num_retries (Optional[int]): Number of retries for failed requests. Defaults to 2.
-            timeout (Optional[float]): Timeout for requests. Defaults to None.
-            default_litellm_params (dict): Default parameters for Router.chat.completion.create. Defaults to {}.
-            set_verbose (bool): Flag to set verbose mode. Defaults to False.
-            debug_level (Literal["DEBUG", "INFO"]): Debug level for logging. Defaults to "INFO".
-            fallbacks (List): List of fallback options. Defaults to [].
-            context_window_fallbacks (List): List of context window fallback options. Defaults to [].
-            enable_pre_call_checks (boolean): Filter out deployments which are outside context window limits for a given prompt
-            model_group_alias (Optional[dict]): Alias for model groups. Defaults to {}.
-            retry_after (int): Minimum time to wait before retrying a failed request. Defaults to 0.
-            allowed_fails (Optional[int]): Number of allowed fails before adding to cooldown. Defaults to None.
-            cooldown_time (float): Time to cooldown a deployment after failure in seconds. Defaults to 1.
-            routing_strategy (Literal["simple-shuffle", "least-busy", "usage-based-routing", "latency-based-routing", "cost-based-routing"]): Routing strategy used for the implicit "default" group (any model not claimed by an entry in `routing_groups`). Defaults to "simple-shuffle".
-            routing_strategy_args (dict): Additional args for the default group's routing strategy (e.g. latency window). Defaults to {}.
-            routing_groups (Optional[List[RoutingGroup]]): Named subsets of `model_name`s with a group routing strategy.
-                Priority groups apply only to group calls and may overlap. Other groups supply their members' default
-                strategy, with at most one such group per model. Unclaimed models use the top-level strategy.
-            alerting_config (AlertingConfig): Slack alerting configuration. Defaults to None.
-            provider_budget_config (ProviderBudgetConfig): Provider budget configuration. Use this to set llm_provider budget limits. example $100/day to OpenAI, $100/day to Azure, etc. Defaults to None.
-            deployment_affinity_ttl_seconds (int): TTL for user-key -> deployment affinity mapping. Defaults to 3600.
-            session_affinity_repin_on_failover (bool): After a successful replacement response, move a session pin
-                whose deployment is in cooldown or removed. Async routes only. Defaults to False. Applied at startup.
-            ignore_invalid_deployments (bool): Ignores invalid deployments, and continues with other deployments. Default is to raise an error.
-            enable_weighted_failover (bool): When True and the routing strategy is "simple-shuffle", a retryable failure on one deployment causes the request to re-pick (weighted) across the other deployments in the same model group before any cross-group fallback runs. Bounded by `max_fallbacks`. Async-only: currently honored by `router.acompletion()` and other async entrypoints. The sync `router.completion()` path falls back to the regular fallback flow. Defaults to False.
-            enable_mid_stream_fallback_continuation (bool): When True, a chat-completions stream that breaks after plain assistant text has been delivered continues on a fallback deployment via assistant prefill instead of surfacing the error. Only deployments whose model supports assistant prefill are eligible, so the partial text is continued, not regenerated; if none is, the original error is surfaced. Streams that emitted tool calls, thinking blocks, audio/images, or constrained (JSON / forced tool_choice) output are never continued. Async-only. Defaults to False.
-            fallback_access_check (Optional[FallbackAccessCheck]): Awaited before each cross-model-group fallback attempt on the async path; a fallback target it rejects is skipped. Defaults to None (every configured fallback is attempted).
-            fallback_budget_check (Optional[FallbackBudgetCheck]): Awaited before each cross-model-group fallback attempt on the async path; a fallback target it rejects as over budget is skipped. Defaults to None (budget is not re-checked on fallback).

-        Wrap an anthropic_messages (/v1/messages) streaming response so a
-        mid-stream provider error triggers the Router's fallback chain
-        (parity with _acompletion_streaming_iterator for the
-        chat-completions path). See #24004.
-
-        anthropic_messages goes through _ageneric_api_call_with_fallbacks
-        rather than _acompletion, so the returned byte iterator is never
-        wrapped by the chat-completions fallback handler. Two failure
-        shapes land here:
-          - the completion-bridge path (deployments with no native
-            /v1/messages endpoint, via
-            LiteLLMMessagesToCompletionTransformationHandler) already
-            raises MidStreamFallbackError out of its underlying
-            CustomStreamWrapper; this wrapper only needs to catch it.
-          - a native Anthropic/Bedrock passthrough never raises anything
-            for a provider SSE `event: error` frame (e.g. `overloaded_error`,
-            `internal_server_error`) - it is forwarded to the client as-is -
-            so this wrapper detects it via parse_anthropic_error_event and
-            raises MidStreamFallbackError itself.
-
-        Only an error before any real content (a content_block_delta frame)
-        has reached the caller triggers a fallback attempt, mirroring the
-        restriction _acompletion_streaming_iterator applies: once generated
-        output has already reached the caller, retrying would start a
-        second, overlapping Anthropic message lifecycle on the same SSE
-        stream, so the error is left to propagate instead of being retried
-        invisibly. A non-retriable client error (4xx other than 429) is
-        never worth a fallback attempt either, so it is also left to
-        propagate.
-
-        Lifecycle/bookkeeping frames (message_start, content_block_start,
-        ping, ...) do not by themselves disqualify a fallback attempt -
-        Anthropic routinely sends message_start before an overload error.
-        When a fallback can still take over they are BUFFERED rather than
-        forwarded immediately, since forwarding one and then appending a
-        fallback attempt's own message_start would produce two overlapping
-        message lifecycles on one SSE stream; a `ping` carries no lifecycle,
-        so it is forwarded live even while lifecycle frames sit buffered,
-        keeping the connection alive during a long thinking pass. Buffered
-        frames are flushed, in order, the moment real content arrives (the
-        primary attempt has committed by then anyway) or once the stream
-        ends without ever producing content or an error. When no fallback
-        can take over the request is already committed, so every frame,
-        including pings and provider error frames, is forwarded live and
-        verbatim instead.

-        """Drop an OpenAI param that no deployment behind ``model`` declares.
-
-        A tier's litellm_params are an operator override applied to every request the tier routes,
-        so one the target cannot take turns that whole tier into a 400 raised before the request
-        leaves the proxy. The candidates are exactly what get_optional_params can reject, asked of
-        the module that raises, so credentials and endpoint controls are never at risk.
-
-        TIER_PARAMS_NEVER_DROPPED is excluded on top of that, for two reasons. No provider lists a
-        litellm control among its supported params, so "no deployment declares it" means litellm
-        consumes it rather than that the target refuses it, and dropping one changes litellm's own
-        behavior: dropping drop_params or additional_drop_params silently disables the sanitization
-        the operator configured. Providers do list extra_headers, but it carries auth, tenancy and
-        routing information, so sending fewer headers than configured is worse than today's error.
-        Token ceilings stay for the same reason: a tier's max_tokens or max_completion_tokens is a
-        cost bound, and dropping it would let a caller's own larger value through where today the
-        mismatch fails loudly.
-
-        The trade this filter makes is a param for a working request, which is right for one that
-        only shapes how the model answers and wrong for anything else.
-
-        A param survives if ANY deployment could take it, because routing has not chosen one yet,
-        and it survives both an unresolvable provider and a group with no deployments, because a
-        best-effort filter must never narrow what the request already did.
-
-        A github_copilot or chatgpt deployment counts as accepting everything, decided before any
-        lookup: resolving either provider runs its OAuth device flow, so a capability question
-        asked from the routing path can freeze the event loop for minutes waiting on a human.
-
-        allowed_openai_params is the documented escape hatch for an outdated or incomplete
-        supported-params list: request-time validation extends the supported list with it before
-        comparing. The filter asks the same question, so a param named by the allowlist on the tier
-        overlay, the request, or a deployment's own litellm_params is never a drop candidate.

+            default_priority: (Optional[int]): the priority given to every chat or text completion request that sets no 'priority' of its own; '.acompletion()' and '.atext_completion()' queue it through the scheduler. Default is None.
+            num_retries (Optional[int]): Number of retries for failed requests. Defaults to 2.

+            routing_strategy (Literal["simple-shuffle", "least-busy", "usage-based-routing", "latency-based-routing", "cost-based-routing"]): Routing strategy used for the implicit "default" group (any model not claimed by an entry in `routing_groups`). Defaults to "simple-shuffle".

+                Priority groups apply only to group calls and may overlap. Other groups supply their members' default
+                strategy, with at most one such group per model. Unclaimed models use the top-level strategy.
+            alerting_config (AlertingConfig): Slack alerting configuration. Defaults to None.

+                whose deployment is in cooldown or removed. Async routes only. Defaults to False. Applied at startup.
+            ignore_invalid_deployments (bool): Ignores invalid deployments, and continues with other deployments. Default is to raise an error.
+            enable_weighted_failover (bool): When True and the routing strategy is "simple-shuffle", a retryable failure on one deployment causes the request to re-pick (weighted) across the other deployments in the same model group before any cross-group fallback runs. Bounded by `max_fallbacks`. Async-only: currently honored by `router.acompletion()` and other async entrypoints. The sync `router.completion()` path falls back to the regular fallback flow. Defaults to False.
+            enable_mid_stream_fallback_continuation (bool): When True, a chat-completions stream that breaks after plain assistant text has been delivered continues on a fallback deployment via assistant prefill instead of surfacing the error. Only deployments whose model supports assistant prefill are eligible, so the partial text is continued, not regenerated; if none is, the original error is surfaced. Streams that emitted tool calls, thinking blocks, audio/images, or constrained (JSON / forced tool_choice) output are never continued. Async-only. Defaults to False.
+            fallback_access_check (Optional[FallbackAccessCheck]): Awaited before each cross-model-group fallback attempt on the async path; a fallback target it rejects is skipped. Defaults to None (every configured fallback is attempted).

+        (parity with _acompletion_streaming_iterator for the
+        chat-completions path). See #24004.
+
+        anthropic_messages goes through _ageneric_api_call_with_fallbacks
+        rather than _acompletion, so the returned byte iterator is never
+        wrapped by the chat-completions fallback handler. Two failure
+        shapes land here:
+          - the completion-bridge path (deployments with no native
+            /v1/messages endpoint, via
+            LiteLLMMessagesToCompletionTransformationHandler) already
+            raises MidStreamFallbackError out of its underlying
+            CustomStreamWrapper; this wrapper only needs to catch it.
+          - a native Anthropic/Bedrock passthrough never raises anything
+            for a provider SSE `event: error` frame (e.g. `overloaded_error`,
+            `internal_server_error`) - it is forwarded to the client as-is -
+            so this wrapper detects it via parse_anthropic_error_event and
+            raises MidStreamFallbackError itself.
+
+        Only an error before any real content (a content_block_delta frame)
+        has reached the caller triggers a fallback attempt, mirroring the
+        restriction _acompletion_streaming_iterator applies: once generated
+        output has already reached the caller, retrying would start a
+        second, overlapping Anthropic message lifecycle on the same SSE
+        stream, so the error is left to propagate instead of being retried
+        invisibly. A non-retriable client error (4xx other than 429) is
+        never worth a fallback attempt either, so it is also left to
+        propagate.
+
+        Lifecycle/bookkeeping frames (message_start, content_block_start,
+        ping, ...) do not by themselves disqualify a fallback attempt -
+        Anthropic routinely sends message_start before an overload error.
+        When a fallback can still take over they are BUFFERED rather than

+
+        A tier's litellm_params are an operator override applied to every request the tier routes,
+        so one the target cannot take turns that whole tier into a 400 raised before the request
+        leaves the proxy. The candidates are exactly what get_optional_params can reject, asked of
+        the module that raises, so credentials and endpoint controls are never at risk.
+
+        TIER_PARAMS_NEVER_DROPPED is excluded on top of that, for two reasons. No provider lists a
+        litellm control among its supported params, so "no deployment declares it" means litellm
+        consumes it rather than that the target refuses it, and dropping one changes litellm's own
+        behavior: dropping drop_params or additional_drop_params silently disables the sanitization
+        the operator configured. Providers do list extra_headers, but it carries auth, tenancy and
+        routing information, so sending fewer headers than configured is worse than today's error.
+        Token ceilings stay for the same reason: a tier's max_tokens or max_completion_tokens is a
+        cost bound, and dropping it would let a caller's own larger value through where today the
+        mismatch fails loudly.
+
+        The trade this filter makes is a param for a working request, which is right for one that
+        only shapes how the model answers and wrong for anything else.
+
+        A param survives if ANY deployment could take it, because routing has not chosen one yet,
+        and it survives both an unresolvable provider and a group with no deployments, because a
+        best-effort filter must never narrow what the request already did.
+
+        A github_copilot or chatgpt deployment counts as accepting everything, decided before any
+        lookup: resolving either provider runs its OAuth device flow, so a capability question
+        asked from the routing path can freeze the event loop for minutes waiting on a human.
+
+        allowed_openai_params is the documented escape hatch for an outdated or incomplete
+        supported-params list: request-time validation extends the supported list with it before
+        comparing. The filter asks the same question, so a param named by the allowlist on the tier
+        overlay, the request, or a deployment's own litellm_params is never a drop candidate.

+"""
+A host for driving ``PythonCore`` in isolation.
+
+``PythonCore`` reaches outside itself only through its host (``litellm/router_python_host.py``):
+inference calls, backoff sleeps, the process settings, callback registration and the process-wide
+cache. ``ScriptedHost`` serves all of those from the test. Inference ops answer from a per-model
+script and record every call; sleeps are recorded and return at once; the process settings are a
+fixed ``RouterDynamicConfig`` the test can replace; callbacks live in the host's own lists, and an
+answered call runs the success or failure callbacks the core registered, as litellm's logging does.
+Ops that are not inference (``get_model_info``, ``should_retry``, ...) are litellm's own functions.

Subject: [PATCH 10/41] fix(anthropic): answer 400 naming a non-string role or
 tool call id instead of 500 (#49237)

* fix(anthropic): answer 400 naming a non-string role or tool call id instead of 500

A list role or an object or list tool_call_id crashed the chat conversion with "unhashable type". Depending on the step that hit it, callers got a 500 or a 400 that never named the field. A failed conversion now answers 400 naming the first non-string role or tool call id, and the prompt caching hook reads a non-string answer id as matching no tool call.

* fix(anthropic): name the field the conversion failed on, and answer 400 for a non-string Responses call_id

The chat field check now runs only when the conversion raised a type error, and
scans roles first, then assistant tool call ids, then tool answer ids, so an
orphan tool answer that modify_params drops is no longer blamed. A tool output
call_id that is not a string on /v1/responses answers 400 naming input[N].call_id,
and the clear_tool_uses polyfill leaves a non-string tool_use_id for the provider

* fix(anthropic): name a non-string role whatever error the conversion raised

An int or bool role fails the conversion with an invalid message error, not a type error, so it lost the named 400. Roles are now named for any conversion failure, while tool call ids stay limited to type errors

* fix(responses): name a non-string message item role by its input index

* fix(responses): name a malformed input field only where litellm reads it, by the caller's index

A tool output call_id is named only when it is an object or a list and the
conversion fails, so an orphan numeric id still converts and another field's
failure is never blamed on it. On the bridge to Claude a non-string role or
function_call call_id is named by its input item, counting items before a
compaction item. A numeric assistant tool call id on chat is named too.

* fix(anthropic): name a tool id only for the error it causes and count Codex tool items in input indexes

A numeric tool answer id that modify_params drops was blamed for any later type or attribute error, so the 400 hid the real cause. Tool ids are now named only for the error their value raises, and a hashable answer id never.

The /v1/responses bridge and its input token count now read the input the caller sent, with only additional_tools hoisted into tools, so input[N] counts those items too.

* fix(anthropic): name a tool id only for the error its own value causes and keep Codex tool item text out of the request

* fix(responses): name a tool output call_id only when the items before it convert

* fix(responses): name a non-string input field only on inference so token counting and batch records keep their answer

* fix(responses): let a client field named caller_input or names_non_string_fields reach the bridge

* test(anthropic): build the non-string id histories without editing them in place

* fix(anthropic): never name an empty role for another field's failure

* fix(anthropic): name an empty list or object role when the conversion fails on it

* fix(anthropic): name a list role under the drop_params cache cap and keep the Bedrock batch line prefix

Subject: [PATCH 11/41] fix(cohere): emit streamed tool calls from v2
 tool-call-start and tool-call-delta chunks (#47794)

* fix(cohere): emit streamed tool calls from v2 tool-call-start and tool-call-delta chunks

* fix(cohere): type _parse_tool_call_delta without growing basedpyright counts

The reassigned Final local and the untyped chunk lookups added basedpyright
errors past the base ceiling. Narrow them with casts; per-rule counts for the
file are now at or below the merge-base.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cohere): parse streamed tool calls with a typed model and map Cohere TOOL_CALL to tool_calls

Read the streamed tool call through a frozen pydantic model instead of casts,
which the strict and type-discipline gates refuse. Map Cohere's TOOL_CALL and
STOP_SEQUENCE finish reasons, so a stream that reads Cohere's message-end still
ends tool_calls. The regression test now drives litellm.acompletion with two
parallel streamed calls and checks the rebuilt calls and the final finish reason

* fix(cohere): close a streamed tool call that sent no arguments with an empty JSON object

Subject: [PATCH 14/41] refactor(ui): remove dead API calls from networking.tsx
 (#49507)

Deletes 17 exported calls that nothing references anymore. The Old Usage page removal left 10 behind, the move of agent traces to the Lens service left 5, and modelInfoV1Call and getUISettings lost their last callers in earlier refactors

Seven names that are only used inside the file stop being exported. buildModelGroupTestRequest stays exported because networking.test.ts calls it directly

Also drops the two test mocks that still stubbed deleted calls and prunes the lower eslint suppression counts for the file

Subject: [PATCH 33/41] feat(ovalix)!: scan files, tool calls and tool results
 (#49309)

* feat(ovalix): file and tool scanning, app discovery from the key alias

Mirror of BerriAI/litellm#34132 at 5ffc268585d, rebuilt on main.

* fix(ovalix): keep inspecting requests whose key has no user

The tracker allows a checkpoint call with an empty actor without inspecting
it, so a key with no user (or a /v1/messages or /v1/responses request that
carries its own metadata object) got no Ovalix enforcement. Fall back to
"unknown" as the guardrail did before, so every request is inspected.

* refactor(ovalix): check texts without mutation and test discovery through tracker requests

- _check_texts builds its result from per-text verdicts checked newest first by _check_text
- discovery and routing cache unit tests answer the tracker routes instead of replacing private methods
- integration test adds streaming cells and a tracker outage during a concurrent burst

* fix(ovalix): resolve tool result names in one pass

Each tool result rescanned every earlier message for its call id, so a request with thousands of
tool results spent seconds in the event loop. Declarations are now indexed once per request and
each result takes the nearest earlier one by bisection

* test(ovalix): annotate new test bindings and build the burst plan with product

* fix(ovalix): drop app discovery from the key alias

A config with no application_id no longer boots in discovery mode, where
the [Name] prefix of the key alias picked the Ovalix application and so its
policy. Anyone who could rename a key could move it to a weaker app, or to
an unknown name the tracker created with its default policy. The guardrail
now needs application_id at startup again, as on main, and every checkpoint
call goes by the configured application and checkpoint ids.

Removes enable_routing_cache and fail_if_no_application, the
app_name_regex and resolve_application tracker calls, and the per-alias
routing cache. Restores main's startup check that a requested pre_call or
post_call hook has its checkpoint id.

Subject: [PATCH 34/41] chore(e2e): remove the unused arize_phoenix callback
 from the stage mirror config (#49538)

Phoenix is unused by the e2e suite and has no account behind it. Drops the callback from the stage mirror gateway config, and updates the OTEL trace test's failure message and the e2e contributing notes that still pointed at the arize_phoenix preset.

Subject: [PATCH 37/41] fix(proxy)!: support reload with multiple workers
 (#45909)

* fix(proxy): support reload with multiple workers

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(proxy): stop the reload worker pool on a broken edit instead of respawning it

Workers now load the app through a factory that exits with uvicorn's
STARTUP_FAILURE code on any import error, so the pool stops and the
reloader waits for the next save, the same as single-worker reload.
Multi-worker reload needs uvicorn>=0.50.0 for that, so older versions
keep the single-worker reload with a warning.

* test(integration): stop the reload test's proxy through the harness shutdown helper

Main's TQ010 rule rejects a raw .terminate() under tests/integration, so the multi-worker reload test now calls OwnedProxy.begin_shutdown(), which sends the same SIGTERM

* test(proxy): cover the reload worker pool end to end and edit the config the proxy loads

* docs(agents): scope the two-worker reload QA rule to uvicorn proxies that use Redis

* fix(proxy): keep the original traceback when a reloaded worker fails to import the app

* docs(agents): point both router and coordination Redis at the QA Redis and cover single-worker trees

* fix(proxy): stop the reload worker pool when the reloader exits and give reloads a longer worker healthcheck

Closing the terminal or pressing Ctrl-\ killed the reloader and left the pool parent holding the port while it respawned workers that could not start. The pool now stops once its parent reloader is gone. The reload pool also defaults the worker healthcheck to 30 seconds unless --timeout_worker_healthcheck is set, since uvicorn's 5 second default killed workers that were still booting on a reload.

* fix(proxy): watch the reloader through its process sentinel so the pool also stops on Windows

* fix(proxy): carry the graceful shutdown timeout into the reload worker pool

* fix(proxy): stop the reload worker pool on Ctrl-\ instead of waiting out a dying worker's healthcheck

* test(proxy): skip the startup-failure reload tests on uvicorn without a startup failure code

* docs(agents): keep the QA proxy rule to two workers, Redis, and reload

* fix(proxy): keep Windows on single-worker reload and pass unlisted uvicorn args to the reload pool

* fix(proxy): stop reload workers when their pool parent dies

* test(proxy): move the reload pool process tests to the integration suite

The unit test guide keeps tests/unit in-process, so the subprocess pool cases now live in tests/integration/configuration and use the harness port allocator and process helpers

* docs(agents): keep main's proof rules and inline the multi-worker QA command

* fix(proxy): exit reload workers as startup failures when the app factory raises

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(proxy): check the reload pool serves the overridden worker app

 If you're resolving a linear ticket, in the "## Linear ticket" section of the PR, say "Resolves LIT-1234", replacing "LIT-1234" with the actual ticket id that you're resolving. If you don't have the ticket id, don't make one up or search for it. Just drop the section
 
+Run QA proxies with `python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py --config litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml --num_workers 2 --detailed_debug --reload --use_v2_migration_resolver 2>&1 | tee litellm.log`, and swap its `--config` for a copy of `litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml` that points both `router_settings` (`redis_host`, `redis_port`) and `general_settings.coordination_redis` (`host`, `port`) at one dedicated Redis instance, with credentials when required, so the workers share router state and spend, budget, and rate-limit counters. Check that two worker PIDs are serving, and use the same worker count and Redis setup for the before and after proof. When the PR is about `--run_gunicorn`, `--run_hypercorn`, or `--run_granian`, which `--reload` does not support, drop `--reload`. When it is about behavior without Redis, drop Redis. When the proxy prints `"workers" flag is ignored when reloading is enabled`, that checkout or its uvicorn reloads only one worker, so drop the two-worker check for it. Say in the proof which part you dropped and why
+
 Simple PRs may skip before/after e2e when the full diff is mechanical and focused checks completely prove it, such as #49030 restoring an existing helper name. Trace affected callers and run relevant tests/static checks at the tip. For a bug fix, establish that the regression catches the original defect. Size alone never qualifies. New behavior, API/provider semantics, auth, billing, persistence, concurrency or uncertain integration risk need live e2e. In Screenshots / Proof of Fix, record `E2E exception at <tip SHA>`, scope, rationale, commands and results. Tests count as proof only for this exception. Reassess changed diffs, retain CI/bot gates, and honor explicit e2e requests (2026-10-28, unnecessary live QA for #49030)
 
 For other PRs, proof must show the end user's real flow before and after, with commands and output against a live proxy and real provider calls where applicable. Pytest alone is insufficient. For UI or interactive coding-tool flows, drive that surface and embed before/after screenshots, with URLs, clicks and input fields a reviewer can reproduce

Subject: [PATCH 38/41] test: move Sail, Weave and Presidio e2e tests to
 integration tests (#49533)

* test: move Sail and Weave e2e tests to integration tests

The Sail service_tier and completion_window cases now run against the scripted upstream in tests/integration/pricing, asserting the outbound body and the billed rates for chat, responses and messages

The key-scoped Weave delivery cases now run against an OTLP collector in tests/integration/observability. The case where only the otel callback is configured is skipped with a BUG reason

Removes the e2e copies, the Weave read-back client, the Sail registry rows, the Weave docs paragraph and the unused devin MCP server entry from the stage mirror config

* test: move Presidio masking e2e tests to integration tests

Moving them to integration tests. The pre_call, post_call and default scope cases now run against a mock Presidio analyzer and anonymizer that follow the real wire contract, and a scripted model upstream, on chat completions, messages and responses, with and without streaming

The spend log cases check the stored response and the guardrail record with a proxy that stores prompts in spend logs. The e2e copy, its Presidio guardrail params body, its registry rows and the doc paragraphs naming the two PRESIDIO variables are removed

    They also need a proxy whose bundled UI contains the change under test, so run the proxy from your branch (an editable install serves the UI your checkout builds)
 
-Some suites need extra services the bare proxy does not start. The `logging/` OTEL trace-completeness tests read spans back from a jaeger query API at `http://localhost:16686` (override with `E2E_OTEL_QUERY_URL`); run a `jaegertracing/all-in-one` and start the proxy with `LITELLM_OTEL_V2=true`, the `otel` callback, and `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` pointing at its OTLP ingest. The `mcp/` suite needs the deterministic upstream MCP server in `mcp_tests/mcp_e2e_upstream_server.py` reachable by the proxy. The presidio guardrail tests need a running Presidio analyzer and anonymizer the proxy can reach, addressed by `PRESIDIO_ANALYZER_API_BASE` / `PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZER_API_BASE`
-
-The Presidio spend-log audit test also requires prompt storage on the proxy, because its assertions inspect the detected entities and their scores. Add the following to the proxy config before starting it:
-
-```yaml
-general_settings:
-  store_prompts_in_spend_logs: true
-```
-
-Alternatively, start the proxy with `STORE_PROMPTS_IN_SPEND_LOGS=true litellm --config <your-e2e-config>.yml --port 4000`. Setting the variable only on the pytest process does not configure the proxy. With prompt storage disabled, the proxy correctly redacts `guardrail_response`, so that configuration cannot exercise this test's entity-detail assertions. Enable this only on a test stack using synthetic prompts
-
-A couple of logging destinations are configured on the proxy rather than by the test. The Weave tests scope their callback to the key they create, but litellm builds the `weave_otel` logger from `WANDB_API_KEY` and `WANDB_PROJECT_ID` before it applies the per-key vars, so the proxy needs both in its own environment or the key-scoped callback never initializes and nothing ships

-"""Live e2e: the Presidio PII guardrail masks, per its configured hook point.
-
-pre_call: the guardrail calls the Presidio analyzer/anonymizer on the request
-messages BEFORE the model runs, so the model only ever sees placeholders like
-<EMAIL_ADDRESS>. A prompt asking the model to repeat a fake email + phone back
-must come back with the placeholders echoed and the raw PII absent, on
-/chat/completions and on /v1/messages (Anthropic format).
-
-post_call: the mirror hook. The request reaches the model unmasked and the
-MODEL OUTPUT is what gets anonymized, so the caller never receives raw PII the
-model repeated back. The two hooks are told apart behaviorally rather than by
-configuration: the post_call prompt asks for a value derived from the raw email
-(its local part, which is not itself an entity Presidio masks) alongside the
-address itself, so the answer proves the model saw the raw address while the
-address in the same response comes back as <EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
-
-The analyzer/anonymizer endpoints come from PRESIDIO_ANALYZER_API_BASE /
-PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZER_API_BASE; missing env is a hard failure, never a skip.
-Each guardrail registers with an explicit presidio_filter_scope so only the
-configured hook's callback exists (the default "both" registers input masking
-AND a post_call output masker), and is deleted on teardown.
-
-The spend-log audit test requires general_settings.store_prompts_in_spend_logs:
-true in the proxy config, or STORE_PROMPTS_IN_SPEND_LOGS=true in the proxy
-process environment before startup. Setting it only on pytest has no effect.
-Without this opt-in, redacting guardrail_response is expected proxy behavior;
-this suite deliberately requires the detected-entity details to remain visible.

-must deliver its calls to the real Weave project, and each call must arrive
-exactly once, carrying the same cost the response header reported:

-- failure: a provider-rejected call arrives too, as one call with OTEL status
-  ERROR naming the provider exception, and with no cost - a failed call that
-  silently never reaches the destination is an invisible outage, and a billed
-  one is worse
-
-Both halves assert the recorded state (the key's callback registration answers
-success and the destination holds the call) and the enforced behavior (the

-"""Read-back for the Weave (Weights & Biases) logging tests against the real
-Weave project.
-
-The proxy ships OTEL spans to https://trace.wandb.ai/otel/v1/traces with the
-``weave_otel`` callback, and the tests read the ingested calls back through
-Weave's own query API (``POST /calls/stream_query``), which answers JSON Lines:
-one JSON object per call, so the body is parsed line by line rather than as one
-document.
-
-The project is shared with other traffic, so the read never relies on the target
-being among the newest N calls: the query is scoped server-side to the
-``litellm_request`` op and to calls that started after the test's own request,
-and pages with ``offset`` until the window is exhausted.
-
-Weave's own ``summary.weave.status`` is a rollup that reads "success" even for a
-span the exporter marked failed, so status comes from the OTEL span itself
-(``attributes.otel_span.status.code``), and the shipped cost from
-``attributes.otel_span.attributes.llm.response.cost`` - the StandardLogging
-``response_cost``, which is what makes this a spend assertion rather than a
-delivery ping.
-
-Missing configuration is a hard failure, never a skip.

Subject: [PATCH 39/41] test(a2a): replace the third-party agent e2e test with
 an integration test (#49541)

Deletes the A2A e2e test that registered a third-party agent, which depended on a site the project does not control, along with its helpers and its coverage registry row. Adds an integration test where a scripted A2A agent receives a skill call as a data part and returns a data artifact, asserting the agent and the caller each get theirs unchanged

Subject: [PATCH 41/41] fix(gemini)!: answer 400 for an unsupported chat audio
 format, drop it under drop_params (#49423)

* fix(gemini): answer 400 for an unsupported chat audio format, drop it under drop_params

* fix(gemini): return the audio format error as a value and keep direct mapper callers refused

The format helper returns its UnsupportedParamsError for the caller to raise. The shared voice mapper refuses an unsupported format again for direct SDK callers, the error caps the echoed format at 100 characters, and its advice no longer claims the model only emits pcm16

* fix(gemini): refuse an unsupported audio format nested in speech_config

A format inside audio.speech_config skipped the check and was silently
dropped with a 200. It now gets the same 400 unless drop_params is set.
The 400 test also pins the model name in the chat-path message.

* fix(gemini): show a non-string audio format as sent in the 400
