 - The proxy at port 4000 serves a **pre-built** static UI from `litellm/proxy/_experimental/out/`. After making UI code changes, you must run `npm run build` in the dashboard directory and copy the output: `cp -r ui/litellm-dashboard/out/* litellm/proxy/_experimental/out/` for the proxy to serve the updated UI.
 - SVGs used as provider logos (loaded via `<img>` tags) must NOT use `fill="currentColor"` — replace with an explicit color like `#000000` or use the `-color` variant from lobehub icons, since CSS color inheritance does not work inside `<img>` elements.
