Within the base rows, many panels only fill in once the matching feature is in use: budgets need keys, teams, users or orgs with `max_budget` set, cache panels need caching on, guardrail and MCP panels need those features configured, deployment health needs the router with more than one deployment or a failure to record, and `litellm_in_flight_requests` needs traffic at scrape time.

 - A test for another crate's item belongs in that crate, not in a downstream one
 - Never set `autotests = false` or hand-list `[[test]]` targets; every file directly under `tests/` is discovered by cargo, and a shared helper goes in `tests/<name>/mod.rs` or `tests/<subject>/support.rs` so it is not picked up as a test crate of its own
 
+## Test fixtures and cases
+
+Use [`#[rstest]`](https://docs.rs/rstest/latest/rstest/attr.rstest.html) for new and updated tests and [`#[fixture]`](https://docs.rs/rstest/latest/rstest/attr.fixture.html) for reusable setup, injected through typed test arguments. Express input variations as named `#[case::name(...)]` cases instead of loops or duplicated tests so each failure identifies its case. Keep behavior assertions in the test body and fixtures focused on setup. Use the workspace `rstest` dependency

 ## Error definitions
 
 - A crate's errors live in `src/error.rs`, defined with `thiserror`, and re-exported from `lib.rs`
-- Default to one top-level `Error` enum per crate, with one variant per failure mode and a `#[error(...)]` message on each
+- 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
 - 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

-- Keep this crate 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) plus the kwargs rewrites the wrapper makes on the way in (credential-name inheritance, the budget and retry-count limits)
+- 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
-- Rust drives the call; every litellm Python internal it still borrows is a variant of `LegacyPython`, grouped by subsystem (`Wrapper`, `Logging`, `DeploymentHooks`)
+- 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`
-  - `PublicCall` is the caller's call as `Logging` sees it: the positional arguments, the keyword view as the legacy path rewrites it (setup, deployment hook, prepare) and the bound request object whose attributes back keywords the caller omitted; routes hand it over through `run_legacy_call` and keep no copy
-- `setup` reuses a `Logging` the caller passed as `litellm_logging_obj` (the proxy and Router are the live cases) and otherwise builds one through `function_setup`, as `@client` does
-  - Either way every phase calls the same `Logging` method the Python path calls; which callbacks run is `Logging`'s decision, never this crate's
+- `PublicCall` is the caller's call as `Logging` sees it: the positional arguments, the keyword view as the call rewrites it (setup, deployment hook, preflight) and the bound request object backing omitted keywords; routes hand it over through `run_legacy_call` and keep no copy
+- `setup` reuses a `Logging` passed as `litellm_logging_obj` (the proxy and Router) and otherwise builds one through `function_setup`; which callbacks run is `Logging`'s decision, never this crate's
 - Callbacks receive the caller's own objects and may mutate them; this crate alone carries that obligation
-  - Retain complete boundary arguments, opaque unknown values, aliases, omitted/default distinctions and deliberate copies; preserve the established deployment-hook kwargs view
-  - Before `pre_call`, re-alias every body key whose value equals the caller's argument to the caller's own object; this crate compares the two itself, and the argument is resolved by `litellm_host_python::lookup`
-  - Retain independently captured body/header roots from `pre_call` to `post_call`; in-place mutation reaches the wire, envelope field replacement is visible to later callbacks only
-  - A later kind of callback host (WASM, in-process Rust) has none of these obligations, so they stay out of `litellm-host`, `litellm-host-python` and the bridge; the only fact that crosses from the route is the prepared keyword view
-- Success and failure handlers receive the exact selected public response or exception; logging projections, redaction and snapshots keep their own copy contracts
-  - Ordinary failure-handler errors cannot suppress the other eligible family or replace the mapped provider error; a cancellation ends the call with no further dispatch
-  - Dispatch errors never replay provider work or trigger the opposite outcome; the proxy's acceptance or rejection releases deferred success at most once
+  - Retain complete boundary arguments, opaque values, aliases, omitted/default distinctions and deliberate copies; preserve the deployment-hook kwargs view
+  - Before `pre_call`, re-alias every body key whose value equals the caller's argument to the caller's own object, resolved through `litellm_host_python::lookup`
+  - Retain body/header roots from `pre_call` to `post_call`; in-place mutation reaches the wire, envelope field replacement is visible to later callbacks only
+- Success and failure handlers receive the exact selected public response or exception
+  - A failure-handler error cannot suppress the other eligible family or replace the mapped provider error; a cancellation ends the call with no further dispatch
+  - Dispatch errors never replay provider work or trigger the opposite outcome; the proxy releases deferred success at most once
   - Delivery follows the registry, not the callable's type: direct, awaited, executor-submitted, logging-worker and deferred paths stay distinct
 - Traverse every retained Python edge; `close` is idempotent and restores the correlation context once

-litellm-core is the LiteLLM SDK in Rust — it makes the LLM call. Each top-level call is a module under `src/<route>/` exposing a public entrypoint named after the route (`messages::messages()`, the Rust equivalent of `litellm.messages()`): you call it and get a typed non-streaming response back.
+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
+
+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

Every crate above nests that error unchanged (`#[error(transparent)] Auth(#[from] litellm_auth::Error)`) or maps it once at its boundary, as `src/error.rs` does for `litellm_llms::Error`. `RouteError` collects route failures and never re-declares a variant a lower crate raises
+
+Scope follows the concept, not the first caller. An error type under `litellm-llms`'s `<provider>/` is private to that provider: no other provider and nothing in `base_llm` may import it. A failure two providers or two routes can hit, such as wire framing, stream event decoding, or a malformed provider response, belongs to the crate that owns the concept: `litellm-framing` for framing, `litellm_llms::Error` for the transformation layer
+
+`litellm_llms::Error` (`crates/llms/src/error.rs`) is the one transformation error for every provider and API. `base_llm/ocr/error.rs` is the recorded exception until OCR folds into it
 
 Not here: serving HTTP (axum routes, extractors), config file reading, rollout state, databases, or callback execution of any kind. Core runs each route as a machine that yields host operations and call events; which integrations consume those events is the host's business.

 - Keep this crate the CPython runtime adapter and nothing more: Serde marshalling, interpreter detachment, tokio/asyncio glue, the `Execution` handle, the call driver and the `PythonLifecycle`/`ProtocolHost` traits
   - No LiteLLM domain dependencies beyond `litellm-host`: no route types, no `Logging` policy, no public API registration, no cdylib build features
   - The driver emits `Succeeded` or `Failed` exactly once and never dispatches after a cancellation; which Python objects consume those events is the adapter's business
-  - `ProtocolHost::project` receives the keyword view the adapter's `begin` returned, not the caller's dict; a protocol host that projects from it inherits that adapter's rewrites (for the legacy adapter: setup, deployment hooks, credential inheritance)
+  - `ProtocolHost::project` receives the keyword view the adapter's `begin` returned, rewritten in place by the route's `Preflight`, not the caller's dict; a protocol host that projects from it inherits the adapter's rewrites (for the legacy adapter: setup, deployment hooks) and the preflight's (credential inheritance)
   - A native failure, including one a host op returns as `InvokeError::Native`, is classified exactly once through the route's `classify`; a Python exception raised inside the call, and a failure in `begin` or `after_success`, is raised as is
   - A failing `classify` is raised with the native error's text as its `__context__`, never swallowed
 - Use standard PyO3 ownership and conversion APIs

-# Model catalog
-
-`litellm-model-catalog` builds an immutable snapshot from caller supplied JSON bytes. It has no network, Python, registration, or refresh behavior. The caller supplies optional source, revision, and ETag provenance. Parse and validation are separate so small synthetic catalogs can use explicit integrity limits
-
-The parser treats `sample_spec` and `fallback_generalizations` as reserved top level metadata. `fallback_rules()` exposes the typed rule array when present; this crate does not execute regex generalizations. Model entries retain all JSON fields except `aliases`, including unknown fields. `field()` returns `None` for an absent key and a JSON null, false, or zero value for a present key. The returned values are borrowed, so callers cannot mutate the snapshot
-
-Each entry also deserializes into `ModelInfo`, a typed mirror of `model_prices_and_context_window.schema.json`'s `modelEntry` definition, reachable via `ModelEntry::info()`. All schema fields are optional on `ModelInfo`, including `litellm_provider` which the schema marks required, so small synthetic catalogs still parse. Unknown fields are not part of `ModelInfo`; they remain on `fields()`. Building with the `schema` feature adds `schemars` derives and exposes `model_entry_json_schema()` for emitting the entry's JSON Schema. Parse and validation failures are reported by the `Error` enum in `error.rs`, while catalog logic lives in `catalog.rs`
-
-The integration tests read the repository's catalog and schema files at test time, assert every entry round-trips through `ModelInfo`, and verify that the generated schema's properties match the repository schema
-
-Aliases point to their canonical entries. An alias that exactly matches any canonical key is skipped; the first canonical entry claiming an alias wins. Invalid alias lists and nonstring names are skipped and reported by `alias_issues()`. Exact lookup wins. For a case insensitive miss, the last key with the same lowercase spelling wins, following Python's lowercase map built after aliases are appended. This uses Rust Unicode lowercasing, which can differ from Python for unusual Unicode model IDs
-
-`validate()` counts canonical entries before alias expansion and excludes both reserved keys. It enforces an explicit minimum and backup shrink ratio, with Python defaults of 50 models and 0.5. Parsing rejects nonobject model entries and known fields with the wrong JSON type, but ignores unknown fields. It does not enforce every constraint in the JSON schema, calculate prices, resolve providers, or check provenance authenticity. The caller decides how to handle validation failures
-
-This snapshot does not represent Python's live mutable `litellm.model_cost`, nested dict and list mutation, or mutation of dicts previously returned by Python APIs. It has no bridge or runtime integration
-
-## Benchmarks
-
-`cargo bench -p litellm-model-catalog --bench catalog` measures parsing plus alias indexing and exact lookup. For a local Python baseline on the same fixture, use:
-
-```sh
-python3 -m timeit -s 'import json, pathlib; body = pathlib.Path("../model_prices_and_context_window.json").read_bytes()' 'json.loads(body)'

Rust follows [RFC 4648](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4648#section-3.3) and [Google's integrity guidance](https://docs.cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/data-integrity); `failed_or_missing_reads_are_not_cached` covers rejection and recovery
