Subject: [PATCH 02/11] fix: drop_params not dropping prompt_cache_key for
 non-OpenAI providers

Fixes #19225

Add prompt_cache_key and other missing OpenAI Chat Completions params
to DEFAULT_CHAT_COMPLETION_PARAM_VALUES so drop_params: true works.

Also fix additional_drop_params to filter extra params for all providers,
not just OpenAI/Azure.

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] fix: HTTP client memory leaks in Presidio, OpenAI, and
 Gemini (#19190)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fix: prevent HTTP client memory leaks in Presidio and OpenAI wrappers

Fixes multiple memory leak issues reported in #14540 and related tickets:

**Presidio Guardrail Fix (#14540)**
- Problem: Every guardrail check created a new aiohttp.ClientSession
- Impact: High-traffic proxies accumulated thousands of unclosed sessions
- Solution: Share a single session across all guardrail checks
  - Added `self._http_session` instance variable
  - Lazy session creation via `_get_http_session()`
  - Proper cleanup via `_close_http_session()` and `__del__()`
- Files: litellm/proxy/guardrails/guardrail_hooks/presidio.py

**OpenAI HTTP Client Caching (#14540)**
- Problem: `_get_async_http_client()` created new httpx.AsyncClient on each call
- Impact: OpenAI/Azure completions bypassed client caching system
- Solution: Route through `get_async_httpx_client()` for TTL-based caching
  - Caches clients by provider and SSL config
  - Fallback to direct creation if caching fails
  - Applied to both async and sync client methods
- Files: litellm/llms/openai/common_utils.py

**Test Script**
- Added validation script to demonstrate fixes
- Counts file descriptors and unclosed session objects
- Files: test_oom_fixes.py

Related issues: #14384, #13251, #12443

* fix(oom): prevent memory leaks in Presidio guardrails and OpenAI client creation

Fixes two high-impact memory leaks:

1. Presidio Guardrail Session Leak (issue #14540)
   - Problem: Created new aiohttp.ClientSession on every guardrail check
   - Impact: Runs on EVERY proxy request when PII masking enabled
   - Fix: Shared session pattern with lifecycle management
   - Files: litellm/proxy/guardrails/guardrail_hooks/presidio.py

2. OpenAI HTTP Client Cache Bypass (issue #14540)
   - Problem: _get_async_http_client() created new httpx.AsyncClient, bypassing TTL cache
   - Impact: Every completion created new client with own connection pool
   - Fix: Route through get_async_httpx_client() for proper caching
   - Critical: Include SSL config in cache key for correctness
   - Files: litellm/llms/openai/common_utils.py

Validation:
- Presidio: 100 requests → 0 new sessions (was 100)
- OpenAI: 100 calls → 1 unique client (was 100)
- test_oom_fixes.py: Automated validation script

* fix(oom): resolve Gemini aiohttp session leak (issue #12443)

Fixes persistent "Unclosed client session" warnings when using Gemini models.

Root Causes:
1. Broken atexit cleanup - get_event_loop() fails at exit time
2. On-demand session creation without reliable cleanup

Changes:

1. Fixed atexit Cleanup (async_client_cleanup.py)
   - OLD: Used get_event_loop() which fails when loop is closed
   - NEW: Always create fresh event loop at exit time
   - Ensures cleanup runs successfully even when main loop is closed

2. Added __del__ Cleanup (aiohttp_handler.py)
   - Defense-in-depth: cleanup on garbage collection
   - Handles abnormal termination cases
   - Similar pattern to Presidio guardrail fix

3. Enhanced Cleanup Scope (async_client_cleanup.py)
   - Now closes global base_llm_aiohttp_handler instance
   - Previously only checked cache, missed module-level handler

Validation:
- Test 1: __del__ cleanup → 0 sessions leaked ✓
- Test 2: atexit cleanup → 0 sessions leaked ✓
- test_gemini_session_leak.py: Automated validation

Related: #14540 (broader OOM issue tracking)

* fix(types): use LlmProviders enum for get_async_httpx_client

MyPy was failing because llm_provider parameter expects Union[LlmProviders, httpxSpecialProvider], not a string.

Changed from string "openai" to LlmProviders.OPENAI enum value.

* test: move validation tests to proper CI directories

- Move test_oom_fixes.py to tests/test_litellm/llms/
- Move test_gemini_session_leak.py to tests/test_litellm/llms/custom_httpx/
- Fix pytest warning: use pytest.skip() instead of return True

This ensures CI actually runs our OOM fix validation tests.

* fix(oom): add asyncio.Lock to prevent race conditions in Presidio session creation

- Make _get_http_session() async with asyncio.Lock protection
- Prevents multiple concurrent requests from creating orphaned sessions
- Add concurrent load test (50 parallel requests) to validate fix
- Test confirms only 1 session created under concurrent load

Critical fix: Previous implementation had race condition where
concurrent guardrail checks could create multiple sessions,
defeating the shared session pattern and causing memory leaks.

* fix(presidio): eliminate race condition in session lock initialization

Move asyncio.Lock creation from lazy initialization in _get_http_session()
to __init__. The previous lazy init had a race condition where concurrent
coroutines could both see _session_lock as None, both create locks, and
end up with different lock instances - defeating the synchronization.

asyncio.Lock() can be safely created without an event loop; it only
requires one when awaited.

Subject: [PATCH 07/11] fix(responses): stream tool call events in completion
 bridge (#19368)

Emit Responses API streaming events for tool calls when the underlying chat stream contains tool_call deltas, and recover tool calls into the stream when they only appear in the final response.

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] fix: preserve tool output ordering for gemini in
 responses bridge (#19360)

* fix: preserve tool output ordering for gemini in responses bridge

- Keep function_call_output adjacent to its function_call when building chat messages
- Normalize function_call_output.output lists (input_* parts) into tool message content

* fix test

* small improvements
