+# Publish MCP servers in the AI Hub
+
+Set `litellm_settings.public_mcp_servers` to the concrete IDs of the servers you want listed in the public AI Hub. Pin `server_id` in each configuration entry so the publication list stays stable across deployments
+
+```yaml
+mcp_servers:
+  documentation:
+    server_id: documentation-mcp
+    url: https://mcp.example.com/mcp
+    transport: http
+    available_on_public_internet: true
+
+litellm_settings:
+  public_mcp_hub_strict_whitelist: true
+  public_mcp_servers:
+    - documentation-mcp
+```
+
+Use `documentation-mcp`, the `server_id`, in the publication list. The configuration key `documentation`, display names, and aliases are not publication IDs. Database-created servers use the ID returned by `/v1/mcp/server`
+
+The dashboard's **AI Hub > MCP Hub > Manage MCP Hub Visibility** dialog edits this same list. Its YAML example includes the selected server IDs. With database-backed configuration (`store_model_in_db: true`), a value declared in YAML is owned by that file: edit the file and reload, or remove that key from YAML to let the dashboard manage it in the database. File-backed deployments can save the list directly to their configuration file
+
+To remove all explicit entries, save an empty selection in the dialog or configure:
+
+```yaml
+litellm_settings:
+  public_mcp_hub_strict_whitelist: true
+  public_mcp_servers: []
+```
+
+## Hub listing and network access
+
+The **Hub listing** column in AI Hub identifies servers that appear in `/public/mcp_hub`. The dashboard derives this status from the current registry and publication settings. Setting `mcp_info.is_public` on a server does not publish it; that response field is derived metadata. `mcp_info.is_public_explicit` identifies registered servers included in the explicit publication list
+
+Gateway cards and server details show **All Networks** when `available_on_public_internet` is enabled or the server is explicitly published in `public_mcp_servers`. They show **Internal Only** when both are false. The per-server flag defaults to `true`; explicit publication overrides a disabled flag for compatibility. Older proxies that omit the metadata needed to determine access show **Unknown**. These labels describe allowed client IPs; authentication and tool permissions still apply
+
+The default `public_mcp_hub_strict_whitelist: true` lists only registered servers in `public_mcp_servers`. Legacy mode (`false`) additionally lists registered servers with `available_on_public_internet: true`. In legacy mode, clearing the explicit publication list leaves these automatically listed servers visible. Enable strict mode when the publication list should fully determine hub visibility

+name: rust-tracing
+description: Add or change Rust diagnostic tracing in litellm-rust, including route spans, subscriber layers, and Python logger delivery
+---
+
+# Rust tracing
+
+Use upstream `tracing` throughout Rust, including `#[tracing::instrument]`, events, and span propagation. Centralize collection and delivery infrastructure in `crates/tracing`. Direct upstream imports still reach our configured subscriber; re-exporting macros does not control delivery. Do not introduce Rust `log` or `pyo3-log` for this path
+
+`litellm-tracing` owns shared subscriber layers, span field collection, and diagnostic processing. Keep adapters composable as `tracing_subscriber::Layer`s, with `Logger` providing host setup. Runtime-specific delivery belongs in the host bridge. The Python bridge delivers directly to the existing Python SDK logger, preserving its handlers, filtering, redaction, and request correlation. Keep Python dependencies out of `crates/tracing`
+
+Hosts configure subscribers. Keep Python execution scoped to its captured dispatch rather than installing a process-wide subscriber. Propagate both span context and dispatch across spawned work and returned streams
+
+In core, instrument execution shared by native calls and hosted machines. Use consistent route, model, provider, streaming, and outcome fields. Put status recording at shared provider boundaries instead of scattering basic logging through handlers. Keep upstream HTTP status separate from route success
+
+Use `skip_all` and explicitly selected fields. Basic tracing excludes bodies, credentials, headers, and raw error strings. Avoid automatic `ret` or `err` capture of sensitive values. Keep payload diagnostics separate and subject to existing redaction
+
+A returned stream retains its route span until exhaustion, error, or drop, with exactly one terminal outcome. Builder construction does not start a trace. Never hold a span entry guard across an await. Diagnostic tracing remains separate from lifecycle callbacks and `CustomLogger` dispatch
+
+Use `litellm_tracing::sink_layer` to compose a sink with other subscriber layers. It inherits span fields into events and emits span-close summaries with elapsed time. Test observable records, concurrent isolation, dynamic filtering, sensitive-field exclusion, and stream cancellation when changing this behavior
+
+Consult the [tracing API](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/) and [subscriber layers](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/layer/index.html) for implementation details

 ## Error definitions
 
 - A crate's errors live in `src/error.rs`, defined with `thiserror`, and re-exported from `lib.rs`
+- Put message templates in the variant's `#[error(...)]` declaration. Callers pass only the small typed arguments needed to fill them, never `Error::Variant(format!(...))` or a preformatted message. Keep the smallest set of neutral variants that callers need to distinguish; different wording or providers do not justify new variants
 - Default to one top-level `Error` enum per crate, with one variant per failure mode and a `#[error(...)]` message on each. A failure mode is something a caller handles differently (phase, status code, retry, a message Python parity pins exactly); failures no caller tells apart share one variant and differ only in its message
+- Keep shared error enums minimal and provider-neutral. Provider names, credential types, configuration fields, and setup guidance belong in caller-supplied data, not dedicated variants or hardcoded shared messages. Reuse a variant for the same failure mode across providers, such as `MissingApiBase { provider: "Azure", guidance: "..." }`. An exact parity message does not justify a provider-specific variant when caller-supplied context can preserve it
 - Wrap a lower-level error as a variant with `#[from]` or `#[source]` instead of flattening it to a string
 - Exception: split into separate types when different functions fail in disjoint ways, especially when different callers see them. A shared enum would force every caller to match variants its function can never return
 - Name a split type after what went wrong (a unit struct is fine for a single failure mode), not after the function that returns it

 - This crate is the legacy `@client` wrapper as the native call sees it, and nothing else: the `Logging` contract (`function_setup`, the deployment hooks, `pre_call`/`post_call`, the sync and async success and failure fan-out, the deferred proxy release, the argument sharing those callbacks rely on)
   - Smell test: if a future callback host (`callbacks-v1-python`, WASM, in-process Rust) could share a piece of this crate, it does not belong here
   - SDK request policy (credential inheritance, the budget and retry-count limits) is the driver's preflight, supplied by `python-bridge`; this crate only adopts the keyword view it produces
-  - The driver in `litellm-host-python`, the routes and core see one `PythonLifecycle`; they never learn which Python objects consume a call
+  - The driver in `litellm-host-python`, the routes and core see one `PythonCallHooks`; they never learn which Python objects consume a call
 - Every litellm Python internal Rust still borrows is a variant of `LegacyPython`, grouped by subsystem, with its signature pinned in `python_contract.json`
   - The enum only shrinks: when Rust owns a subsystem, delete its group rather than adding a Rust path beside it
   - Calling a user's own callback directly is permanent Python surface and gets its own type outside `LegacyPython`

-litellm-core is the LiteLLM SDK in Rust. Each top-level call is a module under `src/<route>/` exposing a public entrypoint named after the route. `messages::messages()` returns `MessagesResponse::Message` for a completed response or `MessagesResponse::Stream { headers, chunks }` when the request sets `stream: true`. The chunks are Anthropic SSE bytes in a `Stream<Item = Result<Bytes, Error>>`. Dropping the stream cancels the call. The Python bridge drives `messages::route::messages_machine()` instead, because Python has to answer the call's operations on its own thread; the gateway and the Rust SDK call the plain entrypoint
+litellm-core owns route orchestration. Messages and HTTP Responses return `litellm_host::call::CallOutput`, containing either a completed response or a stream head and chunks. OCR and currently non-streaming Chat Completions return their completed response directly
 
-A route module has the same five pieces, in the order Python runs them. `types.rs` holds the call, the provider request, and the response. `prepare.rs` resolves the provider and credentials and shapes the request (Python's `validate_environment`, `get_complete_url`, `transform_request`). `handler.rs` resolves auth, offers the wire request to `litellm_host::hooks::RouteHooks::before_send`, sends it, reports the raw response through `emit`, and normalizes the response or stream (`pre_call`, `post`, `post_call`, `transform_response`). `mod.rs` exposes the entrypoint that runs prepare then handler with no hooks (`()`). `route.rs`, where a host needs it, wraps the same two calls in a `CallMachine` whose `HostChannel` is the hooks, and pumps a stream through `open` and `deliver`. A handler takes `&impl RouteHooks<Error>` and never a `HostChannel` directly, so it runs without a coroutine. Keep provider transport and transformation details out of the machine driver
+Hosts assemble route objects from shared `CoreResources`, HTTP settings, and secret sources. Each route owns its provider client and authentication dependencies. Gateway routes live for the gateway lifetime; Python assembles routes per call from its settings snapshot
+
+Chat Completions, Messages, and OCR execute through their route objects. Calls pass `RouteHooks` directly; use `&()` when no hooks are needed. Construction does no work; preparation and lifecycle observation begin when the future is polled. Handlers accept `RouteHooks`, never a concrete `ChannelHooks`. Native observers receive start and terminal events through the shared call runner; a stream retains its lifecycle until exhaustion, error, or drop. A host channel has no native observer because its driver owns terminal dispatch
+
+`route.rs` declares the concrete `Protocol` and implements a route method that accepts a typed request and constructs a `litellm_host::call::HostedMachine` with `hosted_call`. The shared call plumbing owns stream opening, delivery, backpressure, and detachment. Request decoding belongs to the boundary before the machine starts. Route closures only supply execution dependencies and route-specific host capabilities such as an OCR token provider. Use `run_hosted` for a native host so detachment is reported as cancellation. Python uses its own shared driver and preserves caller-task callback execution
+
+Responses WebSocket sessions remain separate from the HTTP call driver because a connection can accept multiple requests while receiving events
 
 ## Crate layering
 
+For Messages, Responses, Chat Completions, OCR, and other API formats, `core/src/<format>/` owns orchestration. Shared API data contracts belong in `litellm-types`, adapter contracts and shared transformation machinery in `llms/src/base_llm/<format>/`, and provider policy in `llms/src/<provider>/<format>/`. A repeated format directory name does not imply interchangeable responsibilities. Select concrete adapters here, then invoke their contracts instead of applying one provider's policy to every call. Route types describe call envelopes and execution state, not duplicate public payload schemas
+
 Each crate mirrors one top-level Python package, so a Rust path reads as its Python path with the crate name in place of the package directory. Dependencies only point down:
 
 - `litellm-types` mirrors `litellm/types/`: pure serde data, no I/O

+This directory owns provider-independent Messages call orchestration: the entrypoint, call envelopes, provider selection, credential resolution, transport coordination, hooks, and stream lifecycle. Shared API data contracts belong in `litellm-types::messages`, adapter contracts and execution inputs in `llms/src/base_llm/messages`, and provider implementations in `llms/src/<provider>/messages`
+
+Select concrete provider adapters and invoke their contracts. Delegate authentication policy, beta selection, payload rewriting, and response interpretation to those adapters. Keep provider policy out of request preparation and transport handlers. Calling a concrete provider helper for every provider is still a policy dependency
+
+Route types such as `MessagesCall`, prepared requests, and response wrappers containing live streams describe execution. Reuse the shared Messages payload types inside them instead of defining another request or response schema here
+
+Preserve the order of validation, normalization, caller-requested parameter removal, and provider transformation when that order affects observable behavior. Test provider dispatch, auth precedence, header handling, transformations, and responses through behavior, not source structure

+Inbound authentication uses a verifier, identity resolver, and authorizer injected into `Auth`. `Auth::from_config` composes the current master-key implementation. `Auth::new` accepts alternate implementations and an injected clock
+
+`CredentialExtractor` selects a token or transport credential from HTTP request parts. The default `Bearer` extractor is strict; a host can supply another extractor with `Auth::with_extractor` for a separate route profile. A transport credential is only a selection marker, never proof of identity
+
+`Authenticator` receives that selected credential and HTTP request parts. Transport verifiers must obtain proof from trusted server extensions, not client-supplied identity headers. It returns `VerifiedIdentity` only after verification. Request parts provide headers and trusted transport extensions for integrations; the verifier must validate any client-controlled claims before treating them as identity. There is no fallback chain after verification failure
+
+`IdentityResolver` maps verified identity into an internal principal and permissions. The caller retains the original authentication evidence and credential restrictions independently of that mapping. Principals include an authority, subject, and kind. External subjects must remain authority-scoped unless the resolver explicitly maps them to a shared internal identity
+
+`AuthenticatedRequest::authorize` checks expiry and intersects resolved permissions with credential restrictions before calling the injected authorizer. The authorizer may impose additional policy but cannot expand either permission set. The returned operation grant binds the exact authenticated caller instance and access request. Consuming it for another caller or target fails
+
+`Permissions::All`, `None`, and `Only` provide the initial policy vocabulary. `Only` matches exact typed access requests. Model requests contain both the public name and resolved deployment model. MCP requests contain the resolved server ID and upstream operation, including bare tool/prompt names and resource URIs. More expressive policy adapters can be added without changing credential verification
+
+The Axum `authenticate` middleware currently accepts one Authorization header using the existing Bearer format. Missing, duplicate, empty, or malformed credentials fail. Authentication replaces any preexisting caller extension and checks the method and matched route before dispatch. Handlers extract `AuthenticatedRequest` and authorize their parsed operation before calling a provider. Missing authenticated context fails closed
+
+The gateway also inserts an MCP `Authorization` extension and a `SessionOwner` derived from the verified principal and credential reference. The MCP host checks the injected policy at initialization and before sending resolved upstream operations. Standalone MCP library hosts retain their existing explicitly trusted registry behavior when no policy is installed; production mounts must install authentication and the policy extension together
+
+Local UI login continues using axum-login and tower-sessions. Only after session and CSRF validation does `UiSession` expose an authenticated caller. Its credentials are restricted to session-info and logout operations, so the UI CSRF bearer cannot authorize inference. Future UI management routes must extend that explicit scope
+
+Authentication evidence and principals contain no raw token, password, request body, or mutable accounting state. Session ownership is scoped by principal authority, subject, verifier, and credential ID, so separate credentials do not silently share an MCP session. Credential rotation may retain ownership when the verifier preserves a stable credential ID. Scope and expiry checks still run for each operation
+
+Failures distinguish invalid or expired credentials, forbidden operations, unavailable authentication services, and missing server configuration/context. HTTP adapters map those outcomes to status codes; inference keeps its API-specific error envelopes and MCP translates policy failures to its own protocol
+
+Virtual-key storage, JWT verification, OAuth2 introspection, trusted-proxy validation, SSO, and custom Python hook adapters are not implemented here yet. They should supply these contracts rather than bypassing the shared authorization boundary. Request-body-dependent custom hooks will need a bounded endpoint adapter after parsing
+
+Budget reservations, rate limits, usage settlement, retries, and cancellation accounting belong after authorization in the execution lifecycle. This foundation adds no accounting backend or cached authorization decisions. Future reservations must bind the same caller and resolved operation and settle idempotently across streaming completion and cancellation

 - Expose a mountable Axum router; listener binding, server lifecycle, and shared inbound middleware belong to `gateway`
-- Own the public inference HTTP boundary: endpoint paths, request parsing, model alias resolution, response envelopes, and SSE delivery
+- Own endpoint paths, request parsing, model alias resolution, and API-specific response and SSE error formats; delegate hosted call execution and HTTP body delivery to host-http
 - Delegate inference execution to `core` and provider transformations and authentication to `llms` and the auth crates; do not duplicate them in handlers
+- Let core validate inference fields and supported features, then map its errors to HTTP responses; do not add gateway checks for temporary core limitations
 - Use injected deployments, HTTP pools, settings, and secret sources; do not load process configuration or construct independent clients in handlers
 - Test HTTP contracts here, including status codes, forwarded headers, error envelopes, and streaming behavior; keep core and provider tests in their owning crates

+# Gateway management
+
+This crate scaffolds virtual key creation, retrieval, and revocation with an injected `KeyStore`. `gateway-auth::keys` owns the separate read-only `KeyLookup` interface and credential verification. Neither crate imports a database implementation
+
+The future `db` key repository should implement both interfaces against the existing LiteLLM database. The gateway composition layer can inject the same repository into management and authentication, sharing its connection pool
+
+## Storage contract
+
+`create` inserts the supplied hash and expiration atomically, returning `AlreadyExists` without changing an existing record on collision. Management generates a token from 32 bytes of operating-system randomness and returns its plaintext only after storage succeeds. `KeyHash` uses the existing SHA-256 token hashing function. Storage never receives the plaintext token
+
+`get` returns the stored status, including revoked keys. `revoke` returns `Revoked` for an existing key, including one already revoked, and `NotFound` for a missing key. Once revocation succeeds, every subsequent lookup must return revoked or missing, including lookups from other gateway instances. Database writes and any cache invalidation must preserve this contract
+
+`KeyLookup` returns active status with optional expiration, revoked status, or no record. Backend failures remain errors. `verify_key` checks the current lookup result and expiration on every call, reads its supplied clock after lookup completes, and returns the verified hash. Pass `SystemTime::now` in production or a fixed clock in tests
+
+## Scope
+
+These are backend operations, with no HTTP routes, database adapter, production in-memory store, or gateway CLI wiring. The in-memory repository under `tests` exercises the shared storage contract. Verification establishes only that a credential is valid; it does not grant permissions. Caller identity, management authorization, and inference policy enforcement belong to the gateway auth integration before these operations are exposed over HTTP
+
+The existing master-key authentication path is unchanged. User, team, model, and budget policies are not represented in this scaffold, so existing database rows carrying those policies require that integration before they can authorize traffic

+# MCP gateway
+
+Native MCP routing using the official [Rust SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk), pinned to `rmcp 3.4.1`. The crate exposes a mountable Axum router and an SDK `ServerHandler`
+
+The HTTP router serves `/mcp`, `/{server}/mcp`, `/mcp/{server}`, `/mcp/{server}/mcp`, legacy `/mcp/sse` and `/mcp/sse/messages`, `/mcp/enabled`, and `/mcp-rest/tools/list` and `/mcp-rest/tools/call`. Streamable HTTP supports stateless requests and legacy initialize/session flows. The caller supplies the shutdown token, allowed hosts, allowed origins, and server identity through `HttpConfig`
+
+`NativeGateway` aggregates upstream tools, prompts, resources, and resource templates. Tool and prompt calls resolve registered server prefixes, including prefixes containing hyphens. Resource names receive prefixes while their URIs remain unchanged, and reads require exactly one selected server. Tool allowlists apply to discovery and execution. Upstream pagination is drained with cycle detection. Aggregate tool listings retain healthy servers and expose sanitized outcomes under `_meta["litellm.ai/server_outcomes"]`, while scoped REST listings preserve upstream failures
+
+## Integration
+
+Construct `Server` entries from connected SDK peers and pass a `Registry` to `NativeGateway::new`. Keep their `RunningService` handles alive in the host and cancel them during shutdown. SDK peers can use stdio, Streamable HTTP, or another SDK transport. Connection establishment, outbound credentials, HTTP client pools, and reconnection remain owned by the host
+
+Mount `router(operations, config)` behind the gateway's authentication middleware before merging it with other endpoint routers. `Registry` is an authorized static catalog, not an authenticator. Production hosts must authenticate all requests, including initialize, SSE GET, session POST, and DELETE. Authentication middleware may insert `SessionOwner` into request extensions to bind sessions to a stable principal across credential rotation. Otherwise sessions bind to a digest of the presented credentials and requested server scope
+
+Implement `ServerResolver` to select authorized peers and tool permissions for each request. It receives HTTP headers and trusted extensions through `Context.parts`, plus the downstream MCP request context when available. Path and `x-mcp-servers` scopes can narrow that selection, never broaden it. Outbound headers are not copied automatically
+
+Wrap `Operations` to integrate guardrails, spend logging, virtual tools, and other policy. Both MCP and REST execution use this interface. Database management, OAuth/BYOK services, toolsets, OpenAPI conversion, and semantic search are integration responsibilities in this stage, rather than new implementations in this crate
+
+`RelayClient::for_request` forwards sampling, elicitation, roots, and progress to the originating downstream client. Create it for that request's upstream connection and retain the connection until execution completes. Do not share this relay across callers. Sampling can instead be handled by an injected SDK `ClientHandler` backed by inference
+
+## Local interoperability check
+
+From the repository root, this loopback-only example runs the existing Python MCP fixture through the SDK's stdio transport. It has no admission authentication and is intended for local testing
+
+```sh
+cargo run --manifest-path litellm-rust/Cargo.toml -p litellm-gateway-mcp --example stdio_proxy -- \
+  .venv/bin/python -c 'import runpy; runpy.run_path("tests/mcp_tests/mcp_e2e_upstream_server.py")["mcp"].run(transport="stdio")'

+# Gateway UI
+
+Provides UI login and sessions independently of the frontend build layout
+
+`router(backend, store, secure_cookies)` serves login, session, and discovery endpoints without reading files. `static_assets(directory)` mounts any static export under `/ui/`, preserving its file layout and directory redirects. The export must use relative asset URLs or URLs rooted at `/ui/`; missing paths return 404. No framework or asset directory name is assumed
+
+Compose them with Axum:
+
+```rust
+let ui = litellm_gateway_ui::router(backend, store, true)
+    .merge(litellm_gateway_ui::static_assets(directory));
+```
+
+`dashboard_assets(directory)` wraps the generic mount with the existing dashboard's `_next` aliases and branding routes. The `gateway` executable explicitly selects that adapter to preserve existing dashboard URLs. A different frontend can use `static_assets` or supply its own Axum router
+
+`gateway` owns environment configuration and server startup. `gateway-auth` implements the local administrator backend and the `UiSession` extractor. The login response and discovery schema still follow the current dashboard's HTTP contract
+
+Run from `litellm-rust` with an existing dashboard export and a gateway config:
+
+```sh
+export LITELLM_CONFIG=/path/to/config.yaml
+export LITELLM_UI_PATH=/path/to/litellm/proxy/_experimental/out
+export UI_USERNAME=admin
+read -rs UI_PASSWORD
+export UI_PASSWORD
+cargo run -p litellm-gateway
+```
+
+Open `/ui/login/` to sign in. HTTPS cookies are enabled by default. For local HTTP development only, set `LITELLM_UI_SECURE_COOKIES=false`. Omitting `LITELLM_UI_PATH` leaves UI routes disabled. `UI_PASSWORD` is required when the UI is enabled, and never falls back to the inference master key
+
+`POST /v2/login` accepts JSON credentials and returns the dashboard's token and redirect URL. `axum-login` handles authenticated sessions through `tower-sessions`. Login rotates the session, sets an absolute 24-hour expiry, and issues an HttpOnly `litellm_session` cookie. The JavaScript-readable `token` cookie contains display claims and a CSRF token in its `key` field. It contains neither the master key nor the session ID
+
+`GET /session/info` and `POST /session/logout` require both the session cookie and `Authorization: Bearer <key>` from the dashboard token. The session's stored user determines authorization; client-supplied JWT claims do not. Logout deletes the server-side session and clears both cookies. JSON-only login prevents cross-origin form submissions, and login attempts use a shared token bucket with a burst of ten and a refill rate of ten per minute per gateway process
+
+The gateway uses a process-local Moka session store with expiry and a capacity of 10,000 sessions. Restarts invalidate sessions, and capacity eviction can sign users out early. Multi-process deployments need a shared `SessionStore` supplied to the router
+
+The current scope is local administrator login, sessions, discovery, and static assets. SSO, database-backed users, cross-origin workers, custom URL prefixes, and management APIs are not implemented. Dashboard screens that call management APIs still require those routes. UI request and response bodies are excluded from the inference gateway's debug body logger
+
+Run the regression suite from `litellm-rust` without a browser, dashboard build, running proxy, or provider credentials:
+
+```sh
+cargo test -p litellm-gateway-ui -p litellm-gateway-auth -p litellm-gateway --locked -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+`gateway-ui/tests/routes.rs` tests discovery, login, cookies, validation, rate limits, CSRF, expiry, password changes, session rotation, and logout through the real Axum router with an injected session store and no asset files
+
+`gateway-ui/tests/assets.rs` tests a plain HTML/JavaScript/CSS export without a Next.js directory, including redirects and path traversal rejection. Separate compatibility cases cover the existing dashboard aliases and branding
+
+`gateway-auth/tests/ui.rs` checks credential matching, empty configuration, user lookup, and password-dependent session hashes. `gateway/tests/server.rs` checks optional mounting, the production Moka store, credential isolation from inference, local HTTP cookies, and exclusion of login secrets from logs
+
+The command runs serially because the existing gateway logging test can lose tracing events during concurrent tests
+
+These tests cover the gateway's HTTP contract. They do not execute the dashboard's JavaScript or verify visual rendering

+# Rust gateway
+
+The binary reads YAML from `LITELLM_CONFIG` and mounts configured MCP servers alongside inference routes. MCP startup requires a resolvable `general_settings.master_key`. Every MCP and REST request uses the gateway's shared authentication middleware
+
+## Run MCP locally
+
+From the repository root, start the Python fixture in one terminal:
+
+```sh
+MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 MCP_PORT=8090 .venv/bin/python tests/mcp_tests/mcp_e2e_upstream_server.py
+```
+
+Start the gateway in another terminal with the example configuration:
+
+```sh
+LITELLM_MASTER_KEY=local-mcp-key \
+LITELLM_CONFIG=litellm-rust/crates/gateway/mcp_config.yaml \
+HOST=127.0.0.1 PORT=4000 \
+cargo run --manifest-path litellm-rust/Cargo.toml -p litellm-gateway
+```
+
+Call a tool through REST:
+
+```sh
+curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:4000/mcp-rest/tools/call \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer local-mcp-key' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"server_id":"math","name":"add","arguments":{"a":2,"b":3}}'
+```
+
+MCP clients can connect to `/mcp` or the scoped `/math/mcp` endpoint with the same admission credential. Tool names on the MCP endpoint carry the configured alias or server-name prefix
+
+## Configuration behavior
+
+`Config::load` resolves nested `include` files once in breadth-first order. Included lists append and other top-level values replace earlier values. Paths resolve relative to the declaring file, with the root config directory as a fallback
+
+`environment_variables` provides scalar overrides to the injected secret source and HTTP settings without changing process globals. Credentials, static headers, URLs, and stdio environment values can reference `os.environ/NAME`. Model providers and MCP share the host's HTTP settings, including TLS certificates and environment proxies. Explicit environment HTTP settings take precedence over `litellm_settings`
+
+Each MCP entry supports HTTP or stdio transport, an optional pinned `server_id`, alias, tool allowlist, timeout in seconds, and positive `max_concurrent_requests`. Omitted or empty tool allowlists allow all upstream tools. HTTP entries accept `static_headers` and static API-key, bearer, basic, authorization, or token credentials. Stdio entries accept `command`, `args`, and `env`. Use explicit secret references in `env` to pass configured credentials to a child process
+
+The gateway initializes upstreams before opening its listener. Startup fails when credentials cannot be resolved or an upstream cannot initialize. Shutdown cancels upstream connections and terminates owned stdio children
+
+The config schema preserves Python sections, but parsing a section does not implement its service. MCP OAuth, database-backed server management, guardrails, spend accounting, local Python tools, and legacy SSE upstream connections remain unimplemented. Unsupported MCP settings and configured guardrail policies fail at startup. Incoming legacy SSE clients remain supported

+`litellm-host` defines typed calls, execution hooks, host services, stream delivery and the resumable machine. HTTP and Python drivers interpret the same suspension protocol in their own runtimes
+
+| Responsibility | Shared contract | HTTP | Python |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Input and output conversion | `Protocol::{Request, Response, StreamHead, Chunk, Error}` | Typed input; `ResponseEncoder` and `StreamEncoder` produce HTTP values | `PythonBinding` decodes prepared arguments, encodes public values and maps native errors |
+| Host services | `Protocol::HostCall`, `HostServices::call` | `HostCallHandler` answers typed calls; `()` handles protocols without host calls | `PythonHostCalls` invokes retained Python objects; it may share an owner with the binding |
+| Active hooks | `RouteHooks::{before_provider_request, on_event}` | Request interception and fallible execution callbacks | `PythonCallHooks` also prepares arguments, transforms public responses and receives stream callbacks |
+| Passive observation | `lifecycle::CallObserver` | Start and terminal observation, retained by the response body | Public Python callbacks remain active hooks with their existing failure policy |
+| Runtime driving | `Machine`, `Suspension::{HostCall, Hook, Stream}` | Body polling controls demand | Native polling and inline caller-task Python awaits control progress |
+
+`hosted_call(request, execute)` starts with a typed request. Its route closure receives separate `HostServices` and `ChannelHooks`; it returns `CallOutput`. Hosted-call plumbing alone forwards the returned stream through demand replies. Lower-level `CallMachine` users receive a `CallContext` containing separately named services, hooks and stream delivery
+
+Core route constructors prepare their dependencies and return a closure accepting the typed request. Python starts that closure only after argument preparation, preflight and decoding succeed. These steps remain inside the driver's terminal and error handling. Decoding may retain objects for subsequent host service calls
+
+Each driver owns terminal dispatch. Hooks can change or fail execution; passive observers return no result. HTTP observes success after response conversion or stream exhaustion, failure on errors, and cancellation on body drop. Python preserves exception identity and maps native failures once. Explicit Python stream close reports success for delivered chunks; cancellation stops further callback dispatch
+
+`in_process::Host` is an assembly of services, hooks, stream consumer and optional observer. It is not a trait mirroring every suspension. Use `run_hosted` to preserve the distinction between stream completion and detachment
+
+Keep API policy in gateway-inference and python-bridge, and legacy callback policy in callbacks-legacy-python. Python bindings and hooks expose retained references through `PythonOwned`, with idempotent close and GC traversal. Runtime machinery stays in driver, native, handle and runtime modules

-For base OCR, Python response models live next to `BaseOcrConfig` in `src/base_llm/ocr/transformation.rs`, as they do in Python; Rust context/environment types support the runtime. `BaseOcrConfig::prepare_request` corresponds to Python's HTTP-handler preparation rather than a `BaseOCRConfig` method, and `validate_request_body` is a Rust-only hook. `src/base_llm/ocr/error.rs` and `src/base_llm/ocr/document.rs` are Rust-only: the OCR error taxonomy shared with the route, and inline-document helpers shared by several providers
+Base OCR currently keeps response models next to `BaseOcrConfig` in `src/base_llm/ocr/transformation.rs`. This is legacy placement, not an exception to the shared API contract ownership in `litellm-types`. Rust context/environment types support the runtime. `BaseOcrConfig::prepare_request` corresponds to Python's HTTP-handler preparation rather than a `BaseOCRConfig` method, and `validate_request_body` is a Rust-only hook. `src/base_llm/ocr/error.rs` and `src/base_llm/ocr/document.rs` are Rust-only: the OCR error taxonomy shared with the route, and inline-document helpers shared by several providers
 
 For Mistral, `async_transform_ocr_request` uses the base default in both languages. `resolve_headers` and `build_ocr_url` implement the respective environment and URL operations, and `normalize_response` implements the typed part of response transformation. Existing auth key/header handling and top-level response-extra preservation differ between languages; layout refactors must preserve those behaviors and verify them with the existing tests
 
 For non-OCR pairs, order corresponding methods as parameter support/mapping, environment validation, URL construction, request transformation, and response transformation, followed by Rust-only runtime hooks. Auth resolution remains split between configs and route preparation in litellm-core. Chat `supported_openai_param_mappings` describes accepted OpenAI/provider name pairs, unlike Python's `get_supported_openai_params` name list. Audio `map_transcription_params` remains a Rust filtering helper
 
-Azure Messages maps to `llms/azure_ai/anthropic/messages_transformation.py`; Bedrock Converse maps to `llms/bedrock/chat/converse_transformation.py`. `AnthropicConfig`, `AmazonConverseConfig`, and the non-OCR base traits are partial ports. `OpenAiResponsesApiConfig` currently implements only the WebSocket surface. Preserve their acceptance gates, passthrough behavior, and host fallback contracts when aligning layout
+Azure Messages maps to `llms/azure_ai/anthropic/messages_transformation.py`; Bedrock Converse maps to `llms/bedrock/chat/converse_transformation.py`. `AnthropicConfig`, `AmazonConverseConfig`, and the non-OCR base traits are partial ports. `OpenAiResponsesApiConfig` implements WebSocket transformations and a direct HTTP Responses path. Its HTTP path does not implement Python model-specific parameter rewriting or Responses-to-Chat emulation. Preserve their acceptance gates, passthrough behavior, and host fallback contracts when aligning layout
+
+## Provider and format boundaries
+
+The same ownership rule applies to Messages, Responses, Chat Completions, OCR, and other API formats. `litellm-types` owns shared API data contracts. `llms/src/base_llm/<format>/` owns provider adapter contracts and shared transformation machinery. `llms/src/<provider>/<format>/` owns provider implementations and policy. `core/src/<format>/` owns call orchestration. Repeating a format name identifies the API each layer handles, not duplicate ownership of its schema. These boundaries also apply between modules in the same crate
+
+A provider adapter may explicitly reuse another provider's transformation helper when that policy applies to its backend, such as Bedrock's Claude adapter using Anthropic payload shaping. Reuse across hosts of the same model family does not make the policy format-wide. Keep provider policy out of shared trait defaults and generic normalization, and keep shared execution contexts limited to inputs the adapter contract actually needs. Pure payload rewrites belong with transformations, not transport handlers
+
+- These are intended boundaries, not a claim that all existing code already satisfies them
+- Preserve behavior and conceptual boundaries. Python names and layout are reference points, not requirements to reproduce its class hierarchy or helper structure
+- Provider directories own provider behavior. API formats and their public data contracts are independent of the provider that originated them
+- Shared `base_llm` contracts must not import provider implementations or provider-specific transformation policy
+- Config traits represent actual provider contracts. Use composition and existing helpers instead of recreating inheritance with unnecessary traits or delegation layers
+- Providers choose authentication and header policy. Shared auth and HTTP infrastructure apply those decisions
+- Generic configuration lookup belongs in the existing settings utilities, not in a provider directory
+- Closures are idiomatic Rust, but a `Vec<ContentBlock> -> Vec<ContentBlock>` helper is not automatically a useful abstraction
+- Choose traversal for the operation: per-block mapping, filtering, or whole-message processing when blocks depend on one another
+- Add an abstraction only when it clarifies a repeated responsibility
+- Verify observable auth precedence, headers, serialization, passthrough, and transformations, not code structure

-- https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/http/messages/create
+This directory owns Anthropic's implementation of the Messages adapter contract in `base_llm/messages`. Shared Messages API data contracts belong in `litellm-types::messages`, and call orchestration belongs in `core/src/messages`. Sharing the `llms` crate with `base_llm/messages` does not erase this boundary
+
+Payload shaping, metadata filtering, tool-ID rewriting, web-search replay handling, thinking translation, and beta selection are provider policy. Keep them here or in Anthropic helpers shared by its operations. Pure payload shaping belongs with transformations, even if an existing file is named `handler.rs`
+
+Bedrock and Azure adapters may explicitly reuse these helpers where Anthropic policy applies to their Claude backend. That reuse does not make the policy part of the shared Messages contract or a default for every provider. Shared `base_llm` code must never depend on this implementation
+
+`web_search_result`, `web_search_tool_result_error`, and encrypted-content fields are protocol data owned by `litellm-types`. Keep those schemas separate from decisions about flattening, encrypted results, beta requirements, and model capabilities

+This directory owns Azure's Messages adapter: its endpoints, authentication policy, headers, and transformations. Implement the shared adapter contract from `base_llm/messages`, consume API data contracts from `litellm-types::messages`, and leave call orchestration to `core/src/messages`

+The Claude adapter may explicitly reuse payload policy from `anthropic/messages` when it applies to Azure's Claude backend. Keep Azure-specific differences here. Sharing that helper does not make Anthropic policy a format-wide default or justify a dependency from `base_llm/messages` on provider implementations

+Do not import provider implementations or embed their policy in shared trait defaults, normalization, or context defaults. A context carries inputs the shared adapter contract needs, not every provider's settings. Thinking-budget choices and model-specific restrictions do not become format rules merely because several providers host Claude
+
+Shared normalization must implement LiteLLM's provider-independent Messages input contract. Provider-specific metadata filtering, tool-ID rewriting, web-search replay policy, beta selection, and thinking translation belong in the provider implementation. Let each adapter explicitly opt into applicable shared provider helpers

+This directory owns Bedrock's Messages adapter: its endpoints, authentication policy, wire adaptation, and response decoding. Implement the shared adapter contract from `base_llm/messages`, consume API data contracts from `litellm-types::messages`, and leave call orchestration to `core/src/messages`
+
+The Claude adapter may explicitly reuse payload policy from `anthropic/messages` when it applies to Bedrock's Claude backend. Keep Bedrock-specific differences here. Sharing that helper does not make Anthropic policy a format-wide default or justify a dependency from `base_llm/messages` on provider implementations

+Use upstream `tracing` macros and `#[tracing::instrument(skip_all, fields(...))]` in native code. A host creates a `Logger` with its sink, uses `scope` for synchronous operations, and wraps futures with `instrument`. Propagate both spans and dispatch into spawned work and returned streams. `Logger::current()` captures the current dispatch. Existing event macro re-exports remain available

 Records retain event metadata, the message, and typed event fields. Sink filtering runs for each event so runtime level changes take effect. Logging from inside a sink is suppressed to prevent recursion
 
+`sink_layer(sink)` exposes the same adapter as a composable `tracing_subscriber::Layer`, with an independent dynamic filter. It records span field updates and inherits fields from outer to inner spans, with event fields taking precedence. Closing a span emits `span closed` at the span's level with `span_name` and monotonic `duration_ms`. Delivery rechecks the sink filter. Core records route outcomes and retains route spans until a stream ends, fails, or is dropped

 The Python bridge scopes native execution to a sink that uses LiteLLM's existing Python logger. It preserves request correlation, redacts before delivering to handlers, maps Rust trace events to Python debug, and reports handler failures through `sys.unraisablehook`. It accepts LiteLLM targets only, keeping dependency wire diagnostics out of the application logger
 
 Python consumers continue using `litellm._logging` and its existing loggers, filters, formatters, and context setters. Catalog dispatch selects the processing backend for both Python and native diagnostics. The pure `Processor` takes explicit settings and never emits events

+The same ownership rule applies to Messages, Responses, Chat Completions, OCR, and other API formats. This crate owns their shared API data contracts. Adapter contracts and shared transformation machinery belong in `llms/src/base_llm/<format>/`, provider policy in `llms/src/<provider>/<format>/`, and call orchestration in `core/src/<format>/`. A provider originating a format, or several providers using a type, does not change these responsibilities. Existing model locations outside this crate are not exceptions to this rule for new shared API contracts
+
+- `litellm-types` owns shared API data contracts and their serialization
+  - A type belongs here when it describes a request, response, event, or value that consumers must agree on independently of how a call executes
+  - Being public, serializable, or used by several crates is not sufficient
+  - These are intended boundaries, not a claim that every existing item follows them
+
+- Organize public contracts by API format: `messages`, `chat_completions`, and `responses`
+  - Use names such as `litellm_types::messages::MessagesRequest`, without an Anthropic prefix solely because Anthropic designed Messages
+  - Existing `llms::openai`, `llms::anthropic_messages`, and chat types under `utils` are legacy locations, not patterns for new modules
+  - Keep one canonical definition and import path when moving a contract, updating consumers together instead of adding duplicate models or compatibility re-exports
+
+- Shared request/response bodies, message and content-block enums, usage records, tool-call chunks, stream-event payloads, and protocol error bodies belong here
+  - This includes LiteLLM's normalized response contracts and extensions, not just exact upstream schemas
+  - `ChatCompletionsResponse` currently represents the response handed to the host, so replacing it with a supposedly more complete upstream schema must not silently change that contract
+  - Messages web-search result/error schemas and encrypted-content fields belong to the Messages format regardless of which providers implement them
+
+- Shared LiteLLM input data such as `ProviderSpecificHeader` and `ProviderSpecificHeaders` also belongs here
+  - Selecting entries for a provider belongs in `core-utils`, and applying headers belongs in `http`
+  - A genuinely provider-specific wire value may retain its provider name: `AnthropicBeta` and `BetaSet` describe the `anthropic-beta` header
+  - Parsing, formatting, deduplication, and value equality belong with those types
+  - Choosing required betas, OAuth companions, header precedence, or credentials belongs in `llms` and the auth crates
+
+- Allow deterministic constructors, accessors, serialization, schema generation, and validation of the represented data shape
+  - `ContentBlock::text`, `ResponsesWsEvent::model`, and `Recognized::known` are examples
+  - Exact value conversions such as `EffortLevel` to the matching `ReasoningEffort` are acceptable
+  - Clamping effort, choosing a thinking budget, rewriting content, mapping finish reasons, computing normalized usage, and translating between API formats are policy or transformations and belong outside this crate, even when they are pure functions
+
+- Keep call envelopes and execution state in their owning crates
+  - `MessagesCall`, `MessagesShaping`, prepared provider requests, and the response wrapper containing a live stream belong in `core`
+  - Provider config traits, `MessagesTransformContext`, `MessagesModelCapabilities`, `ThinkingBudgets`, `StreamShape`, and transformer state belong in `llms`
+  - Catalog records and pricing belong in `model-catalog`, which may reuse wire enums such as `ReasoningEffort`
+  - Host hooks, Python objects, credentials, clients, timeouts, and routing decisions do not become API payload types merely because they cross a crate boundary
+
+- Stream-event data belongs here, but live streams, decoders, framing, buffering, and stream lifecycle decisions do not
+  - Keep SSE and AWS framing in `framer`, provider decoding and conversion in `llms`, and call orchestration in `core`
+  - `ResponsesWsEvent` belongs here
+  - `ResponsesWsTransformResult` wraps the output of a provider transformation rather than a wire event and lives in `llms::base_llm::responses::transformation`
+  - Protocol error payloads may live here, while operational errors remain in the crate that raises them
+
+- Keep provider-only wire envelopes and transformation-specific projections local until there is a shared API contract to expose
+  - `InvokeChunkPayload` and the permissive `ReplayedWebSearchResult` projection serve decoding or rendering and should not be promoted unchanged into public schemas
+  - Reuse existing shared message contracts inside batch and token-counting adapters without moving every adapter struct into this crate
+  - Shared normalization intermediates such as the prompt factory's `Conversation` stay with their algorithms in `core-utils`
+
+- Keep this crate at the bottom of the dependency graph
+  - Use data, serialization, and optional schema libraries without depending on workspace execution crates, async runtimes, transport clients, or Python bindings
+  - No network or filesystem I/O, environment lookup, clock access, model catalog lookup, or global configuration reads belong here
+  - Defaults must describe the data contract, not select runtime policy
+
+- Represent known discriminators such as `tool_use` and `server_tool_use` with enum variants
+  - Preserve each contract's existing treatment of unknown variants, extra fields, missing fields, and explicit nulls
+  - `Recognized<T>` deliberately retains values that fail typed parsing, including wrong-shaped values, so use it only where permissive passthrough is already part of the contract
+  - Typing an opaque field must neither reject previously accepted inputs nor accept malformed inputs previously rejected
+  - Do not silently discard unknown data or tighten a partial projection into a stricter public schema
+
+- Test observable serialization, malformed-input rejection, unknown-value preservation, and value semantics in this crate
+  - Follow the workspace test-placement and `rstest` rules
+  - Test provider transformations, header policy, and stream execution in their owning crates
+  - Do not test import locations or Rust source structure as substitutes for behavior

+Adapter contracts and execution inputs such as `MessagesTransformContext` belong in `llms/src/base_llm/messages`. Provider rewriting and interpretation belong in `llms/src/<provider>/messages`. Call envelopes, live streams, and call orchestration belong in `core/src/messages`

 Select Claude Code, Codex, or both, then choose a gateway model for each selected agent. The wizard validates the key and reads the models your key can access before changing settings.

-`--gateway-url` also accepts a deployment path prefix and a trailing `/v1`. `--base-url` is an alias. If omitted, setup uses `lite --base-url`, `LITELLM_PROXY_URL`, or the saved CLI URL; the wizard asks for a URL when none was provided
+Your gateway, virtual key and model choice are saved separately from each agent's undo record. The command saves validated choices before applying them; if applying fails, `lite configure` retries those saved choices. Disconnecting keeps that setup so you can reconnect without repeating the wizard:

+```bash
+lite unconfigure

+
+`lite configure` reuses all saved setups for the current agent homes. Name an agent to reconnect only that one, such as `lite configure claude` or `lite configure codex`. Saved setup works without a terminal when the key and model are still valid
+
+Run `lite reconfigure` to edit your choices with the saved values prefilled, or `lite reconfigure codex` to edit one agent. The agent picker selects which setups to edit; unchecked agents keep their settings. For Claude Code, choose its own default in the wizard or use `lite configure claude --default-model` to remove LiteLLM's model pin. Omitting `--model` keeps your saved choice
+
+`lite unconfigure --forget` undoes settings it still owns and deletes the saved setups, including their saved keys. `lite unconfigure claude --forget` forgets only Claude Code. Both work after an earlier disconnect. Saved setup files have owner-only permissions and follow the same resolved config-file scope as the undo records, including `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` and `CODEX_HOME`. A pending undo record remains available if an original credential could not safely be restored. If the undo record is missing, agent settings are left unchanged and the command asks you to remove any remaining gateway connection and key manually; forgetting the saved profile does not erase unowned agent settings

 What the command changed is recorded in `~/.litellm/claude_configure_state.json` (previous values plus fingerprints of what was written, never a second copy of the key). `lite unconfigure claude` restores each of those keys only if it still holds what `configure` wrote, so anything you changed since is left alone and named in the output; a `settings.json` or `env` object that only existed because of `configure` is removed again. Ownership moves only by a write: running `configure` again (a re-login is one) refreshes the record only for the keys its merge changed, keeps the original snapshot of a key that still holds what it wrote, and snapshots afresh a key you changed in between, so `unconfigure` brings back whatever the repeat displaced and never adopts your edit as its own. A credential (`env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `env.ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `apiKeyHelper`) is put back only when the restored file points at the `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` it was captured next to; otherwise it stays removed, the output says which server it belonged to, and the receipt is kept so pointing the URL back and running `unconfigure` again finishes the job. It also undoes `lite login --config-claude`, which writes through the same path. Both refuse to run while a `lite up` or `lite autoroute start` session holds a backup, and that check comes before any request

 After the first response, the status line uses the latest routed model recorded by `GET /auto_router/session?session_id=...`, so it can show the tier model even when the transcript contains the router alias. If no session record is available, it falls back to Claude Code's transcript. Session records and costs are cached for five seconds under a per-user `$TMPDIR/litellm-statusline-<uid>` directory. The gateway records turns asynchronously, so the display can briefly lag a completed turn. Any virtual key may read its own sessions. The baseline is the priciest model in the router's hardest tier, the same counterfactual the auto-router's savings reports use. `lite unconfigure claude` removes the `statusLine` entry only while it still points at that script
 
-After upgrading the CLI, rerun your original `lite configure claude` command with the same gateway, key and model choice to refresh `~/.litellm/statusline.py`. Keep any explicit `--model` value: omitting it removes the earlier model pin. Package upgrades alone do not refresh this installed copy

 `lite codex` registers the same script as a Codex `Stop` hook for the launch, so after each turn Codex prints the same block as a system message. Codex asks once to trust the hook; the answer is remembered for later launches.

+"""Wall-clock bounds for sandboxed guardrail code.
+
+Sync guardrail code runs on a dedicated daemon thread so a runaway loop never stalls the event loop; async
+guardrail code is awaited as its own task. Either way the code's deadline is published through a context
+variable, and the sandbox compiler routes every ``while`` test, ``for`` iteration and comprehension through
+:func:`budget_ok`, which raises ``ExecutionInterrupted`` once that deadline has passed, whatever the code
+catches around the loop body. As a backstop, a worker thread still running at the deadline has
+``ExecutionInterrupted`` injected with ``PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc`` and a task still running is cancelled
+repeatedly. A long-running C call (a catastrophic regex, for one) only sees any of this once it returns, so
+the caller still gets its timeout on schedule while the worker keeps burning CPU until that call ends.

+### Opt in to prompt-cache costs
+
+Set `cache_aware_routing: true` to consider observed prompt-cache savings after classification. This is disabled by default. A warm model in the same or a higher tier can replace the classified model when its estimated input and output cost is strictly lower. Cache savings never lower the required tier
+
+```yaml

+  - model_name: smart-router
+    litellm_params:
+      model: auto_router/complexity_router
+      complexity_router_config:

+        cache_aware_routing_output_tokens: 1024

+```
+
+This first version supports the proxy's native `POST /v1/messages` endpoint with Anthropic, text and client tools, and one explicit message-content `cache_control` breakpoint. Each tier must name one model group with one deployment. The default v3 rate limiter must be enabled. It uses the same observations and token counting as `/cost/predict-cache`; it does not prewarm caches or enable provider caching on the application's behalf
+
+The proxy must have observed a successful cache read or write for the candidate's matching prefix, under the same caller key, deployment, provider key and model. A fresh observation allows a cache discount; missing or expired evidence does not. Provider eviction can still turn an expected hit into a miss
+
+The comparison includes uncached input, cache writes at the requested TTL, cache reads and expected output tokens. Set `cache_aware_routing_output_tokens` to your workload's expected response length; it defaults to 1024 and is capped separately by each model's effective output limit. With `max_tokens_from_tier_model: true` (the default), this is the model's known output ceiling; when disabled or unknown, the caller's `max_tokens` applies. The full effective output limit, together with the counted input, must fit the candidate's known limits. Custom deployment prices are respected
+
+Prediction makes up to two token-count requests per compared model. These use rate and concurrency capacity and add latency. The default total timeout is two seconds; timeout, missing counts or prices, and prediction failures preserve the classified route. No provider count requests run when there is no warm eligible alternative
+
+Session affinity, user-turn classification, adaptive routing, routing plugins, custom tier ladders, tier pools and per-tier parameter overrides keep their existing behavior without a cache adjustment. The same applies to unsupported providers or prompt shapes, beta headers, custom provider endpoints, request transforms, and pending context compaction. Disable context compaction as in the example so it cannot rewrite the predicted prompt. Alias markers should contain only routing configuration and rate, timeout or tag settings
+
+When cache costs change the model, the routing decision reports `cause: prompt_cache_cost`. Its signals include the original model, classification cause and both estimated costs

 ### The pull request check
 
-Every same-repository PR that adds, modifies, or renames a `tests/e2e/**/test_*.py` file runs those changed files three times. A change to the harness itself, meaning a root-level `tests/e2e/*.py` file or `pytest.ini`, `tests/e2e/gateway/`, `.github/e2e-stack/`, or the workflow, also runs the `access_control` suite and both JWT suites as canaries, because those files have no test of their own that exercises the stack. `.github/e2e-stack/select_tests.py` applies both rules. The stack config at `tests/e2e/gateway/stage_mirror_ci_config.yml` must declare every model the selected suites use; a missing one shows up as a failed test id in the public log. The suite's own single rerun for network errors and 5xx responses (see `pytest.ini`) applies on every pass, so a transport blip does not fail the check while a race inside a test still does. The stage-mirror stack has a control-plane backend, two gateways behind nginx, Postgres, Keycloak, Jaeger, and TLS cluster-mode Valkey. Realm-only edits also trigger these canaries. The stack exports every gateway address in `LITELLM_PROXY_REPLICA_URLS`, so model registration waits until each gateway lists the new model rather than whichever one the load balancer answered from. Documentation, deleted-file, and application-only changes do not start the stack or request environment approval. The `ui/`, `claude_code/`, `load/`, and `secret_manager/` directories, `batches/test_managed_files_enforcement_e2e.py`, `llm_translation/realtime/test_realtime_pipecat_audio_e2e.py`, and `guardrails/test_presidio_masking_e2e.py` remain outside this check because they use separate tooling or need a differently configured stack: the pipecat audio suite skips itself at import time unless the NLTK `punkt_tab` data is installed, and the presidio suite fails without the analyzer and anonymizer services this stack does not start. `logging/test_otel_v2_langfuse_generation_output_e2e.py` is marked `otel_v2` and deselects itself unless `E2E_OTEL_V2` is set, because it needs a gateway booted with `LITELLM_OTEL_V2=true` and Langfuse credentials, neither of which this stack provides, so run it with `E2E_OTEL_V2=1` against a local OTel v2 proxy. The Redis chaos test under `load/` needs a proxy it can pause the Redis of on the same host (`gateway/redis_chaos_ci_config.yml`), which `.github/workflows/test-e2e-redis-chaos.yml` boots, and which the Buildkite `e2e-redis-chaos` step in project-releaser runs co-located with Postgres and Valkey in one pod; it is deselected unless `E2E_REDIS_CHAOS` is set. The `secret_manager/` lanes each need a proxy configured against their own secret manager (see Secret manager lanes below)

The suite's own single rerun for network errors and 5xx responses (see `pytest.ini`) applies on every pass, so a transport blip does not fail the check while a race inside a test still does. The stage-mirror stack has a control-plane backend, two gateways behind nginx, Postgres, Keycloak, Jaeger, and TLS cluster-mode Valkey. Realm-only edits also trigger these canaries. The stack exports every gateway address in `LITELLM_PROXY_REPLICA_URLS`, so model registration waits until each gateway lists the new model rather than whichever one the load balancer answered from. The Buildkite PR stack exports its two gateway pods the same way and, because those pods sit behind one router base that also fronts the backend, names that base in `LITELLM_CONTROL_PLANE_REPLICA_URLS` so management read-backs poll the plane that serves them instead of the gateway pods, which trim management routes at startup and answer them 404. Documentation, deleted-file, and application-only changes do not start the stack or request environment approval. The `ui/`, `claude_code/`, `load/`, and `secret_manager/` directories, `batches/test_managed_files_enforcement_e2e.py`, `llm_translation/realtime/test_realtime_pipecat_audio_e2e.py`, and `guardrails/test_presidio_masking_e2e.py` remain outside this check because they use separate tooling or need a differently configured stack: the pipecat audio suite skips itself at import time unless the NLTK `punkt_tab` data is installed, and the presidio suite fails without the analyzer and anonymizer services this stack does not start. `logging/test_otel_v2_langfuse_generation_output_e2e.py` is marked `otel_v2` and deselects itself unless `E2E_OTEL_V2` is set, because it needs a gateway booted with `LITELLM_OTEL_V2=true` and Langfuse credentials, neither of which this stack provides, so run it with `E2E_OTEL_V2=1` against a local OTel v2 proxy. The Redis chaos test under `load/` needs a proxy it can pause the Redis of on the same host (`gateway/redis_chaos_ci_config.yml`), which `.github/workflows/test-e2e-redis-chaos.yml` boots, and which the Buildkite `e2e-redis-chaos` step in project-releaser runs co-located with Postgres and Valkey in one pod; it is deselected unless `E2E_REDIS_CHAOS` is set. The `secret_manager/` lanes each need a proxy configured against their own secret manager (see Secret manager lanes below)
 
 Every selected file must execute at least one passing test in each pass, and any test failure, collection error, or entirely skipped or deselected file fails the check. A file whose tests are all marked skip therefore cannot pass this check, so unskip at least one of them, or add the file to `UNSUPPORTED` in `select_tests.py` with the reason, before changing one. A failed pass stops the run. The public log prints pytest's one-line summary for each pass, including the rerun count, and names each failed or errored test as `classname::name`, so a retried network error or a failing test is visible without the raw output. The final `e2e-changed-tests` job succeeds only when no supported test files changed or the approved run completed all three passes. Fork PRs with selected tests fail this gate until a maintainer brings the reviewed change onto a same-repository branch

 Bedrock has no provider-side list, so list is the proxy's DB-backed managed view: the
 unified lifecycle lists with the plain `GET /v1/batches` and the batch must appear
 there. Both were gated off until LIT-5730, after LIT-4774 landed cancel support. A batch that completes inside the 2 s pre-cancel window skips the cancel assertion (a documented vacuous pass for the cancel cell, same as OpenAI); the list assertion runs either way.

 Streaming checks send real HTTP transfer chunks, including one-byte partitions, fragmented tools, incomplete transfers and a cancellation barrier. They assert meaningful text, tool arguments, final usage and persisted cost. The Redis recovery case owns a separate database and Redis process, uses the supported one-second circuit-breaker recovery setting, waits for the real subscriber and verifies response data in Redis after restart. CircleCI reuses its existing Redis image for that extra process; it never pulls an image during tests
 
+The `messages_endpoint/` directory holds `/v1/messages` endpoint contracts: native-provider backends under `providers/` (`anthropic`, `bedrock`, `gemini`) and the translation bridges (`responses_bridge`, `chat_bridge`) at the top level.

 The sdk shard exercises the SDK's own HTTP clients against local protocol peers with no gateway in the path, so a case here fails only when the client library or its wire behavior changes. The HTTP/2 case runs a hypercorn TLS peer offering h2 and http/1.1 over ALPN, drives the sync and async httpx handlers at it with `LITELLM_HTTP2` off and on, and asserts the version both the client and the peer observed on the wire. Put a test here only when it needs no proxy, database or Redis; a case that reaches the gateway belongs in one of the other shards

+The extensions shard uses the built-in generic callback and guardrail transports. It checks callback correlation and credential exclusion, guardrail rewriting and denial, retained OpenAI consumers and A2A wire versions. CircleCI runs it on parallel nodes, and each node starts its own database, Redis, upstream and proxy and runs its share of the group's files serially, split by recorded timings with `circleci tests split`. Tests keep the isolation of a serial run; they still must not assume a particular set of sibling files. `run.py <group> --list` prints a group's files and `run.py <group> <file>...` runs a subset of them
 
 The mcp shard runs the MCP gateway against SDK peers owned by each test (`_support/mcp.py`): streamable HTTP, SSE and stdio peers, an OpenAPI-spec app, and an OAuth 2.1 authorization-server double. Every peer records the requests it receives so a test can assert what reached the peer, not only what the proxy answered. The shard runs with `INTEGRATION_WORKERS` set and with `INTEGRATION_COVERAGE=1`, which starts the proxy under `coverage run --parallel-mode` limited to the MCP modules and stores `coverage.txt` plus an HTML report with the job artifacts. A test that fails because the product is wrong is skipped with `pytest.skip("BUG: <symptom>")` so the skip list in `execution.json` is the open MCP bug list
