Subject: [PATCH 01/23] test: deflake JWT tamper assertions and fuzzy picker
 widget driver

Tamper tests rewrote the last two base64url characters of the signature,
which on roughly 1 in 250 RS256 tokens (1 in 1000 HS256) only touched
padding bits, so the decoded signature was unchanged and still verified.
Corrupt the decoded signature bytes instead.

The fuzzy picker driver sent keys after fixed sleeps, so a slow worker
could receive the filter text before the widget had highlighted the match.
Wait on the widget's highlighted choice instead.

Subject: [PATCH 07/23] test: deflake guardrail mapping leak, tag routing
 randomness, and liveliness timing

TestStreamingScanDedup restored the reduced module-level translation
mapping on teardown via monkeypatch, so under --dist=loadscope the
worker that ran only that class carried the reduced mapping into the
streaming block test modules. Tag routing tests now assert the eligible
deployment set directly instead of sampling ten random picks. The
liveliness latency check measures steady-state polls after a warm-up
request rather than the first request through a fresh app.

Subject: [PATCH 09/23] test: deflake redis loop-stall burst test and
 pre-commit interrupt cleanup

The redis breaker test raced the event loop: the fake call had to still be
pending when a real time.sleep stall began, which needs the loop to get from
scheduling to the stall in under 1ms. The fake now holds its answer behind an
asyncio.Event so the whole burst times out deterministically.

The pre-commit interrupt test found a real leak: lint_dashboard creates its
eslint report with mktemp and only removed it on the happy path, so an
interrupt landing during the whole-folder eslint run left the file behind.
The subshell now removes it from an EXIT trap, and the test drives the
interrupt while that eslint run is in flight.

Subject: [PATCH 14/23] test(e2e/batches): assert Bedrock batch cancel and list
 in the lifecycle

Bedrock batch cancel (StopModelInvocationJob) and the managed list view
both work through the proxy since LIT-4774, but the batches e2e still
gated them off and the coverage registry claimed no cell for either.
Flip can_cancel/can_list for the Bedrock provider, assert cancel the
same way the OpenAI leg does, add the two registry cells the gates
select, and update COVERAGE.md

 completes before cancel

The completed-batch early return skipped both the cancel and the list
assertion while the lifecycle's covers markers still credited both cells.
List does not depend on the batch being cancellable, so it now runs either
way; cancel on a completed batch stays a documented vacuous pass

Subject: [PATCH 22/23] feat(otel): stamp litellm.request.route on the LLM call
 span (#39698)

* feat(otel): stamp litellm.request.route on the LLM call span

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

* refactor(otel): drop redundant comment on REQUEST_ROUTE

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

* style(otel): Final-annotate route test locals, drop field comment

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

* fix(otel): read litellm.request.route off the server span

The LLM call span took the auth-normalized literal path from logging
metadata, which disagrees with the SERVER span wherever FastAPI matched a
template: on /engines/{model:path}/chat/completions the LLM span spelled the
model name while http.route carried the template, so the two spans grouped
into different buckets and the PR's premise did not hold.

Read the value off the span that already holds it. The request's root SERVER
span is anchored per request for parenting, and its attributes stay readable
after it ends, so request_root_http_route() answers from the async close
callback with the same http.route the SERVER span exports: the route template
on a normal route, the literal path where the passthrough hook rewrote it, and
the mount point on an MCP call. Nothing has to re-derive any of that, so the
two spans cannot drift apart.

The route the proxy recorded at auth stays as the backstop for a deployment
whose FastAPI instrumentation never mounted, where there is no server span to
disagree with. Off the proxy the attribute is omitted rather than empty.

 child tasks — gives a stable parent in both cases. DB/service spans keep ambient
 parenting so an auth DB lookup still nests under `auth`.
 
+The anchor is also what `litellm.request.route` is read from: `request_root_http_route`
+returns the server span's own `http.route`, so the LLM call span cannot disagree with
+its parent about which endpoint served the request. That means the route template on a
+normal route and the literal path on a passthrough prefix, because the passthrough hook
+rewrote the attribute; an MCP call anchors the same server span, so it reports the
+`/mcp` mount point. Attributes stay readable after a span ends, so the async close
+callback reads the same value. Where no server span was anchored at all, the route the
+proxy recorded at auth (`metadata.user_api_key_request_route`) is the backstop.

 **Which service calls become spans (`spans.span_role_for_service`).** LiteLLM's
 service-logging layer instruments many internal functions, but only some are
 traceable units of work:

Subject: [PATCH 23/23] feat(shadow_eval): scope a job to model groups, ANDed
 with its key, team, and user targets (#39828)

A shadow eval job could only be scoped by identity, so "this user's traffic on model X
across every key they own" was not expressible and a models field on the start body was
silently dropped. The job now carries a models list that every target is narrowed to,
matched on the requested model group with model_group_alias resolved on both sides. An
unresolvable name is a 400 at start. Empty means every model, which is what every existing
row reads as. The dashboard start form gains an "Only on models" picker and the job
headline shows the scope.
