+Claude Code gateway protocol.
+
+Implements the wire contract the Claude Code CLI uses to talk to a gateway:
+OAuth 2.0 device-authorization sign-in (RFC 8414 / RFC 8628), inference via the
+Anthropic Messages API, managed settings, and OTLP telemetry ingestion. See
+https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway.
+
+Everything lives under the ``/claude_code_gateway`` base so operators point
+Claude Code at ``https://<proxy-host>/claude_code_gateway`` via ``/login``. The
+device flow reuses the proxy's existing SSO login machinery: the browser leg is
+served by ``/sso/key/generate`` and the shared ``cli_sso_session_cache`` flow,
+so the bearer token minted here is the same session JWT the LiteLLM CLI uses and
+is accepted by every bearer-authenticated proxy route.

Subject: [PATCH 016/119] feat(websearch): let the model emit objective +
 multi-query search shape for providers that support it

The intercepted web search tool only carries a single query string, so
search providers whose APIs take a natural-language objective plus
multiple keyword queries (documented best practice for Parallel AI's v1
search) always receive a degraded single-query request.

Widen the tool's input schema with optional objective and search_queries
fields (query stays required), and forward the richer shape from the
interception handler only to providers whose search config reports
supports_rich_search_input(). Every other provider, and every model that
keeps emitting just query, is byte-for-byte unchanged.

- BaseSearchConfig.supports_rich_search_input() defaults False;
  ParallelAISearchConfig overrides True
- handler trims search_queries to five (the provider cap) and never
  overrides an objective configured on the search tool's litellm_params
- mocked tests cover schema exposure, extraction validation, provider
  gating, and the unchanged single-string path

Subject: [PATCH 017/119] fix(websearch): address review - ReadOnly TypedDict
 fields, suppression reason, call-site coverage

- RichWebSearchInput fields are ReadOnly and constructed literally
- the pyright suppression now states why the str provider name is safe
- new tests drive _build_anthropic_request_patch and
  _build_chat_completion_request_patch end to end so the tool-call ->
  _rich_search_input wiring is covered, not just _execute_search

Subject: [PATCH 020/119] feat(proxy): add RFC 8693 token exchange for IdP JWTs
 on the gateway token endpoint

A registered gateway DCR client can now POST /token with
grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange and an IdP
JWT as subject_token. The gateway proves the JWT the way its JWT auth
does, resolves the user and team, and answers with the proxy-API
credential and a refresh token, so a fresh laptop with only an IdP login
gets a gateway key without a browser round trip.

"/token" joins mcp_inference_routes so the default JWT team allowlist
reaches the exchange, and the JWT auth builder accepts any header
mapping so the request headers pass through unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 022/119] fix(proxy): exchange role default, logged rejections,
 gated grant listing

The exchange refused the very user JWT auth upserts (its row has no
user_role) as "no longer active". The credential now carries the role the
proxy already enforces for that user on every request, internal_user when
the row has none, the same rule _get_user_role applies on the data plane.

A rejected subject_token no longer echoes JWT auth's wording on the public
/token endpoint: the response is a fixed invalid_request and the reason
goes to the proxy log, since that wording can name the JWKS URL or relay
the IdP's reply.

The exchange grant is listed on /register, /.well-known/litellm-cli-auth,
and the aggregate authorization-server metadata only when JWT auth is on,
backed by a database, and licensed, so a client never selects a grant the
gateway would then refuse.

Subject: [PATCH 023/119] fix(proxy): mint the exchange credential off the
 database user row, not the cache

JWT auth caches the user it creates before it adds that user to the JWT's
team, and adding a team member never evicts the cached user row, so the mint
read a row with no teams and refused the very first token exchange for a
never-seen user as not a member. The loader now reads the row from the
database and leaves the fresh row in the cache for the requests the
credential makes next

Subject: [PATCH 024/119] fix(proxy): read the database user row only in the
 credential mint

The token exchange mint keeps reading the user row from the database, since JWT auth caches the user it creates before adding it to the JWT's team and a mint off that cached row refused the first exchange for a new user. Introspection and the refresh revalidation go back to the cache read, so a resource server calling /introspect per request pays no database read.

Subject: [PATCH 025/119] fix(proxy): evict the member's cached user row on
 team member add

JWT auth caches the user row before it adds the user to the JWT's team, and admission checks the credential's team against the cached row on whichever worker takes the next request. On a two-worker gateway the credential minted for a newly joined team answered 403 "not in your team memberships" until the management-object TTL ran out, because /team/member_add only evicted the membership spend sentinel. The add now evicts the added members' cached user rows and broadcasts the eviction to the other workers, the way /team/member_delete already did

The mint test now also covers a user SCIM deactivated after the cache last saw them active: the database read refuses the mint while the cached row still says active

ProxyLogging.during_call_hook only ran async_moderation_hook for CustomGuardrail callbacks, so a
CustomLogger such as the prompt injection detector with llm_api_check enabled never called the
configured moderation model. Dispatch any CustomLogger that overrides async_moderation_hook and hand
the proxy router to every registered prompt injection detector at startup so that call can route

Subject: [PATCH 034/119] fix(proxy): answer 503 temporarily_unavailable when
 the token exchange cannot verify the subject token

A subject token JWT auth could not check, because the IdP's JWKS was unreachable with no cached copy or the auth database was down, came back as 400 invalid_request with the same fixed message a bad token gets, so clients re-logged in instead of retrying the way they already do for a mint-time 503. Those checks now answer 503 temporarily_unavailable and log the reason, while real rejections stay 400 invalid_request.

Subject: [PATCH 035/119] fix(proxy): word the token exchange's 503 by whether
 the database fault can clear

A permanent database fault (a missing or version-skewed query engine)
in the subject_token check was answered with the same "retry" wording
as a transient outage. The status stays 503 temporarily_unavailable,
the only OAuth error a client reads as the server's fault and what the
mint path already answers to the same fault, but the description now
says retrying will not help until the deployment is repaired, using
PrismaDBExceptionHandler.is_permanent_database_fault the way the mint
path does.

Subject: [PATCH 036/119] feat(vertex_ai): stream Chirp speech-to-text over
 /v1/realtime

Bridge OpenAI Realtime transcription sessions on vertex_ai/chirp_* models to
Google Speech-to-Text v2 StreamingRecognize over gRPC, so partial and final
transcripts stream back while audio is still being sent. Interim results become
delta events, finals become completed events carrying billed seconds, the gRPC
stream rotates at 240 s under Google's five-minute cap with billed time chained
across rotations, and audio is split into 25 KB requests.

The OpenAI transcription protocol helpers move into a shared module that Meta
Muse now uses too, google-cloud-speech ships behind a new stt-vertex-chirp extra
bundled into the proxy runtime, and the cost map lists /v1/realtime for chirp_3.

Subject: [PATCH 037/119] fix(proxy): read the user row past the recent-miss
 memo on a database-only lookup

get_user_object skipped the database for db_cache_expiry seconds after a miss on the same worker even when the caller asked for check_db_only, so the token exchange mint could answer no_active_key for a user JWT auth had just created. A database-only read now always reaches the database.

Subject: [PATCH 038/119] fix(proxy): unpin cost-map pricing copied into
 model_info and report pricing overrides

A model_info blob that carries key next to pricing fields is a copy of a /model/info response (only litellm.get_model_info emits key), so those pricing fields are dropped when the row is loaded from the DB and on every Reload Price Data, and the deployment follows the current cost map again. Prices typed into litellm_params, or into model_info without key, stay as they are.

/model/info, /v1/model/info and /v2/model/info now report model_info.pricing_overrides, the pricing fields the deployment sets itself, and the Admin UI model page says whether a price follows the cost map or overrides it.

Subject: [PATCH 044/119] fix(vertex_ai): carry turns across stream rotation
 and route by model info

Rotating the Speech-to-Text stream at 240 s no longer ends the active turn:
the turn and its billed seconds continue on the new stream, forced at 280 s.
Bound the request and event queues (64 and 256) so a slow peer applies
backpressure instead of growing memory. Route a model to the Chirp realtime
path from its cost-map entry (mode audio_transcription plus /v1/realtime)
instead of a hardcoded name. Return on every branch of the recv and
transform helpers (CodeQL mixed returns), have the shared protocol helper take
the provider's error class so the Meta tests assert MuseProtocolError again,
and pin google-cloud-speech in the ci group so unit shards import it.

Subject: [PATCH 051/119] fix(proxy): keep queued moderation running past a V1
 pre_call guardrail

A V1 CustomGuardrail with moderation_check pre_call returned out of
during_call_hook before asyncio.gather, abandoning already-queued
CustomLogger moderation coroutines and skipping every later callback.
Skip only that guardrail instead.

Subject: [PATCH 056/119] refactor(rust): read litellm HTTP globals through one
 Python shim and tighten the http pool

Drop the core ocr() facade so VertexAuth and the http pool stay out of litellm-core's
public API, move the http Error enum to error.rs, and inject the media DNS resolver into
HttpClientPool instead of a per-call builder hook the cache key ignored.

The bridge now reads litellm.* HTTP settings only through litellm/rust_bridge/settings.py,
pinned by python_settings.json, while env overrides stay in Rust. This adds the Python
default User-Agent, parses string ssl_verify globals like get_ssl_verify, drops per-call
ssl_verify that Python OCR never honored, and removes the unused request_timeout.

Subject: [PATCH 065/119] fix(rust): match Python proxy, ssl_verify and client
 expiry behavior in the http pool

Honor environment proxies whenever Python would use httpx (sync calls, HTTP/2, aiohttp disabled), apply the per-call ssl_verify argument, ignore empty or missing SSL env values the way http_handler.py does, expire pooled clients after an hour so rotated certificates reload, keep the client certificate off media downloads, and decline instead of raising when a litellm global has an unexpected type

Subject: [PATCH 067/119] fix(rate_limiter): render the 429 reset time in UTC
 as labelled

The proxy rate limiters formatted the reset epoch with a naive datetime.fromtimestamp, which reads the process timezone, and then appended a literal UTC suffix. A proxy running outside UTC returned a local wall-clock time labelled as UTC in the 429 body and reset_at header. Convert with tz=timezone.utc in both the request limiter and the batch limiter so the label is true

https://api.x.ai/v1/stt instead of the openai-compatible chat handler
which targets /audio/transcriptions. Supports language, diarize,
keyterm, filler_words and other provider fields as passthrough kwargs

Resolves LIT-8153

Subject: [PATCH 075/119] fix(rust): honor environment proxies by default and
 name the cause in transport errors

Python's aiohttp transport reads HTTP(S)_PROXY on every request unless disable_aiohttp_trust_env is set, so the Rust clients now do the same instead of requiring aiohttp_trust_env. Transport error messages include reqwest's source chain, so a rejected certificate or refused connection is no longer reported as just 'error sending request'

Subject: [PATCH 079/119] feat(proxy): let team admins manage projects via
 team_admin_editable_team_fields

Adds a projects entry to the team_admin_editable_team_fields setting. When set, team admins (legacy admins list or members_with_roles role admin) can call /project/new and /project/update for the teams they administer. The two routes join self_managed_routes so the endpoint check runs instead of the route gate's blanket 401. /project/delete stays proxy admin only

Subject: [PATCH 097/119] fix(rust): keep native OCR on the proxy by declining
 only a supplied client

The proxy attaches its shared aiohttp session to every request as shared_session, so declining on it sent every proxy OCR call to Python, which never uses that session for OCR. aclient_session is a litellm global and never a call argument, so that check could not match. The proxy-shaped lifecycle test now asserts the call was served by Rust

Subject: [PATCH 098/119] fix(rust): restore the 10s connect timeout and share
 media clients across proxy settings

Python OCR passes the call timeout per request, so its connect timeout is the call timeout and never the 5s handler default. 10s is what every Rust route uses on main. The media client never uses a proxy, so trust_proxy_env no longer splits its pool key

-Read @CLAUDE.md for coding guidelines
+Do not write comments unless they are any of:
+- absolutely necessary to explain some very complex business logic (in which case, keep it concise and clear)
+- used as an input for tools to read and act on. For example:
+  - entries in `.git-blame-ignore-revs` saying which commit is excluded from git blame
+  - a lint or type checker suppression like `# mutable-ok` or `# pyright: ignore[reportArgumentType]  # <reason>` when introducing a truly unavoidable violation
+- a TODO or FIXME
+  - Not great to have those, but if it's unavoidable, make sure to include a strong, concise reason for why it's there or, better yet, link to a GitHub issue for the follow-up work
+
+Explanation: The point of this rule is to keep out AI slop comments. AI writes way too many and way too verbose comments. Code comments are, in a way, a violation of DRY code. You must update logic in two locations to change the code, and "hard to change" is literally the definition of tech debt. We should instead aim to write code that is intuitive and clear, even at a glance, to the reader, being both easy to maintain and high performance
+
+Don't assume that the existing code is correct or the right way of doing things / good coding patterns. In fact, there are a lot of bad coding practices, overly complex code, code smells, etc. If something doesn't look right, speak up. Feel free to break existing patterns or question weird existing code to make new code high quality, as in:
+
+- correct
+- secure
+- performant
+- readable
+- easy to maintain/change
+- modern
+
+In descending order of importance
+
+When adding new features, add meaningful tests. Don't add tests that don't check anything substantial and is there just to make the code coverage pass. Yes, code coverage is important, but I'd rather have no signal whether the code is working than tests that don't fail when code is broken. The goal is to have tests that would fail before the feature was added/if the code was mutated in a way that breaks the feature and succeed only when the feature is fully working. I should run mutation testing and see > 90% kill rate
+
+Same thing for bug fixes. The tests should make it so that this specific bug can never happen again without failing tests (i.e., regression)
+
+Never test structure of code only function of it
+
+A test must only fail when litellm code changes. Never pin facts we don't own (a vendor's price, a third party's field, an upstream default, today's date) as literals or as "X must be absent"; assert the invariant our code guarantees instead, e.g. two rows agree, a value is within range, a field is derived from another. If an outside fact is truly load-bearing, cite its source and date next to the assertion so a reader can tell stale from broken
+
+`tests/test_litellm/` mirrors `litellm/` in a parallel path (see `tests/test_litellm/readme.md`). Name tests `test_<filename>.py`, but always match the existing test file in the directory you touch — many provider dirs use longer descriptive names (e.g. `test_anthropic_chat_transformation.py`) to avoid ambiguity across sibling folders. For bug fixes, extend the existing mapped test file rather than creating a new one. Only create a new test file for a new feature (provider, endpoint, or transformation module) that has no mapped test yet, following that directory's naming convention (or `test_<filename>.py` if you're the first test there). One focused regression test beats many shallow ones
+
+End-to-end tests belong in `tests/e2e/` and must follow the harness conventions documented in that directory's `AGENTS.md`
+
+When creating PRs, target the repository's current default branch for both internal and external / OSS contributions. Check it with `python3 scripts/default_branch.py --branch` instead of assuming a branch name or relying on cached `origin/HEAD`
+
+When writing a PR body, treat the comments and imperative instructions inside .github/pull_request_template.md as rules to follow, not just layout. Agent harnesses may strip HTML comments from copies of that file injected into context, so read .github/pull_request_template.md from disk before writing a PR body to make sure you see every comment rule
+
+Same applies for filing bug reports and feature requests, with .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml, respectively
+
+If you're resolving a linear ticket, in the "## Linear ticket" section of the PR, say "Resolves LIT-1234", replacing "LIT-1234" with the actual ticket id that you're resolving. If you don't have the ticket id, don't make one up or search for it. Just leave the section blank
+
+Never use `pytest` commands or the like as "Screenshots / Proof of Fix". We prefer curl'ing a live proxy instance running on localhost:4000 (I like to run it with `python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py --config litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml --detailed_debug --reload --use_v2_migration_resolver 2>&1 | tee litellm.log`; the Admin UI dev server is `npm run dev` in `ui/litellm-dashboard`, served on port 3000) and showing both the command run and the output. Also, it should hit real LLM provider APIs, not mocks, and cost real $$$ because that is the most realistic test. The proof of fix should be exactly what the end user / customer would see / do. The run logs in PR #27703 is a prime example of how to do it (not a huge fan of using a python test script that future me and the team will have no visibility into; I prefer just curl commands or a short list of bash commands (e.g., using `for`)). If it's a UI thing, or the main use case runs through a headful agentic coding tool like Claude Code or Codex, drive that surface yourself and embed your own before and after screenshots of it in the PR (the Admin UI page, or what the coding tool shows), next to an ordered list of the URLs to go to (e.g., http://localhost:4000/ui/?page=logs), where to click, and what fields to fill out so a reviewer can reproduce it
+
+If you ever write any human-facing text (pull requests, issues, commit messages, discussion posts, github comments, release notes, docs, etc.), always follow these guidelines to sound less AI-y:
+- don't use emojis
+- don't use "—". Instead, reach for ",", ".", conjunction words, ":", ";", etc. in descending order of preference: vary among them, weighted toward the front of the list, and skip "," where it would cause a comma splice or the sentence is getting long. Overusing any one of them, ";" especially, also feels AI-y. A word cap does not penalize you for adding more sentences: when writing under tight word budgets, prefer a period split or a conjunction over ";", and keep to at most one ";" per message
+- don't use the pattern "It's not X, it's Y", "You're not X, you're Y", etc.
+- unless explicitly asked, don't use bulleted or numbered lists unless it would be nonsensical not to. Instead, prefer prose
+- don't add a trailing "." at the end of paragraphs (just like this file). That means every paragraph, not just the last one (of the markdown file, PR description, GitHub comment, etc.). Rule of thumb: if you're adding new line(s) before the next sentence, don't add a "."
+- don't use →. Instead, prefer not to use arrows, and if need be, use -> instead
+- use plain, simple, everyday engineering language: the common phrase engineers actually say over rare compact phrasing, in grammatically complete sentences. When explicitly asked to use bullets or ordered lists and structure legitimately helps the reader, prefer nested bullets (any depth is fine) over dense lines in a flat structure
+
+Don't hesitate to use values in .env to get needed API keys and other secrets, as long as you never add them to conversation history, commit them, or include them in GitHub issues / PRs
+
+Python max line length is 120, not 88
+
+Never edit or commit `ruff-strict-budget.json`, `type-discipline-budget.json`, `basedpyright-code-budget.json`, or `test-quality-budget.json` on a PR branch, and don't run `make lint-budget-update` there. A scheduled Devin automation lowers the limits on the default branch in its own PR by exactly what landed since the last ratchet, so concurrent PRs don't fight over the same `"limit"` lines. Keep the hosted automation's target in sync when the repository default changes. If your branch already carries a budget edit, drop it before opening the PR
+
+`make check` (f.k.a. `make pre-commit`, which still works identically as an alias) saves its complete output to a log file in .git (overwriting previous logs) and prints that path as its first and last output lines. To inspect a run, read or grep that log instead of re-running the multi-minute checks just to see a different slice
+
+`make check`, `make lint`, `scripts/pre_commit_lint.sh`, and the standalone budget gates (`scripts/ruff_strict_gate.py`, `scripts/type_discipline_gate.py`, `scripts/type_check_gate.py`) each hold one of 2 machine-wide slots, so when other sessions or worktrees on the same box are already running heavy work, yours prints "all N machine-wide slots are busy; queueing" and then stays quiet until a slot frees. Give the command a long timeout and let it wait rather than killing it, retrying it, or assuming it hung. Don't change the # of machine-wide slots or make it unlimited by setting `LITELLM_GATE_SLOTS=0`
+
+If you're trying to create a new function that relies on untyped stuff, instead of adding more Any's and pushing `reportAny` / `reportExplicitAny` closer to their basedpyright ceilings, just validate it in the caller with Pydantic (a model or `TypeAdapter` that returns the typed thing or raises will do) and then pass the now typed variable in
+
+If you get an LIT001 or LIT002 fail, refactor the code to follow functional programming best practices rather than introducing mutable data structures. For example, build values in one shot with comprehensions or generators wrapped in `tuple()` / `MappingProxyType()` / `frozenset()` instead of seeding an empty `list`/`dict`/`set` and mutating it over time. Ideally, `# mutable-ok` is never used; reach for it only as a genuine last resort when an immutable rewrite is truly impossible, and always pair it with a real reason
+
+Every lint or type suppression must name the exact rule inside brackets and carry a reason comment, e.g. `# pyright: ignore[reportArgumentType]  # stubs lack async overload` or `# noqa: TID251  # <reason>`. `# type: ignore` is banned (LIT009): pyrightconfig.json sets `enableTypeIgnoreComments` to false, so it silently does nothing
+
+Commit and push your work when you're done without asking
+
+When referencing or running models (coding, QA'ing, writing docs, writing tests, etc.), use the latest model in that model family unless otherwise specified; treat your training knowledge, memories, configs, and tests as stale, and determine the family's latest with model_prices_and_context_window.json or the web
+
+Always pull before starting any work. The checkout or worktree may be sitting on a stale branch
+
+If you're an internal contributor, when creating a new PR, the typical flow is to branch off the repository's current default branch and create a branch prefixed with litellm_. Do not create a branch prefixed with claude/ and generally do not have / in your branch names
+
+Do not add `Co-Authored-By: Claude` or any Claude attribution to commit messages. Never use a `claude/` prefix or put a `/` in a branch name. Do not add "Generated with Claude Code" (or any similar attribution) to PR descriptions or comments. Do not create a new PR/branch off the existing PR to fix/add something that is related and could've just been committed directly to the existing PR's branch
+
+When working on a PR, keep the PR description in sync with new commits being made
+
+All GitHub comments must be human-readable and 15-25 words max
+
+Monkeypatching attributes of a class to do testing is an anti-pattern. Prefer dependency-injecting things into classes. That way, at unit test time, you can pass a mocked dependency in
+
+Do not put names of customers or customer company names in code, PR descriptions, issue bodies, etc. This means never mention literally any company name. Especially if you're about to say a sentence mentioning that the reason the PR exists was a feature/model/bug fix/etc. requested by a company. That's the indication that you should replace that company name with "the customer". e.g. not "Model request from Acme (Pylon #1234)" but "Model request from a customer (Pylon #1234)". This is because the codebase is public. The only exception is for publicly known providers or vendors such as OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, etc. only IF we're adding support for that provider/vendor in general and NOT if that PR or whatnot was a request by one of them, and they're actually one of our customers.
+
+CI supply-chain safety: Never pipe a remote script into a shell (`curl ... | bash`, `wget ... | sh`); download the artifact to a file, verify its SHA-256 checksum, then install. Pin every external tool to a specific version with a full URL (not `latest` or `stable`). Verify checksums for all downloaded binaries, using the provider's official `.sha256` / `.sha256sum` sidecar when available. These rules apply to every download in CI
+
+Prisma migrations apply synchronously at proxy boot, before it serves traffic, so a migration must only change schema, never rewrite rows. No `UPDATE`, `DELETE` or `MERGE`, and no `INSERT ... SELECT`: on a spend-log-sized table any of those is minutes of downtime plus a doubled heap that plain autovacuum won't give back. `tests/code_coverage_tests/check_migrations_no_data_rewrites.py` enforces this. When a rewrite is genuinely bounded and has to ship inside the migration, mark the statement `-- data-migration-ok: <what bounds it>`
+
+Follow these coding conventions for new/updated code (a three-line fix in a legacy file shouldn't trigger huge drive-by refactors):
+
+- Composition over inheritance
+- Never-nester: early returns over deep nesting
+- Don't throw; model failures as values (One function (e.g., raise_public) maps error union to existing public exception contracts via exhaustive match + assert_never)
+- No mutation; don't reassign variables, global or local. Instead of mutable lists and dicts, prefer tuples, frozen dataclasses (with slots=True), `MappingProxyType`, etc.
+  - Annotate every variable with `: Final` (LIT010). Unpacking and walrus targets cannot carry the annotation, so they are implicitly final. Don't rebind them. Never rebind or mutate function parameters (LIT011); `self`/`cls` attribute stores are the exception. If rebinding or in-place mutation is truly unavoidable, suppress with `# rebind-ok: <reason>`
+  - Qualify every TypedDict field with `ReadOnly[...]` (LIT012), which nests freely with `Required` / `NotRequired` / `Annotated` in any order. If making the key writable is truly unavoidable, suppress with `# writable-ok: <reason>`
+- Use dependency injection
+- Fully typed; no `Any` or coarse types like `dict[str, Any]` or just `dict`. Every function parameter must be strongly typed
+- Use tagged unions + match
+- No monster files or god objects

+## Think Before Coding
+
+**Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs**
+
+Before implementing:
+- State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask
+- If multiple interpretations exist, present them. Don't pick silently
+- If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted
+- If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask
+
+## Simplicity First
+
+**Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative**
+
+- No features beyond what was asked
+- No abstractions for single-use code
+- No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested
+- No error handling for impossible scenarios
+- If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it
+
+Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes, simplify
 
 Before requesting maintainer review, verify the current PR tip passes required CI and code coverage, meets Greptile confidence of at least 4/5, and has acceptable Veria and Bugbot reviews. Inspect warnings and findings, fix actionable issues, and rerun the affected checks and reviewers after changes. Record evidence for any false positive or unavailable review; never treat a pending or missing bot result as a pass. Do not lower coverage thresholds or lint budgets to satisfy a check

-Do not write comments unless they are any of:
-- absolutely necessary to explain some very complex business logic (in which case, keep it concise and clear)
-- used as an input for tools to read and act on. For example:
-  - entries in `.git-blame-ignore-revs` saying which commit is excluded from git blame
-  - a lint or type checker suppression like `# mutable-ok` or `# pyright: ignore[reportArgumentType]  # <reason>` when introducing a truly unavoidable violation
-- a TODO or FIXME
-  - Not great to have those, but if it's unavoidable, make sure to include a strong, concise reason for why it's there or, better yet, link to a GitHub issue for the follow-up work
-
-Explanation: The point of this rule is to keep out AI slop comments. AI writes way too many and way too verbose comments. Code comments are, in a way, a violation of DRY code. You must update logic in two locations to change the code, and "hard to change" is literally the definition of tech debt. We should instead aim to write code that is intuitive and clear, even at a glance, to the reader, being both easy to maintain and high performance
-
-Don't assume that the existing code is correct or the right way of doing things / good coding patterns. In fact, there are a lot of bad coding practices, overly complex code, code smells, etc. If something doesn't look right, speak up. Feel free to break existing patterns or question weird existing code to make new code high quality, as in:
-
-- correct
-- secure
-- performant
-- readable
-- easy to maintain/change
-- modern
-
-In descending order of importance
-
-When adding new features, add meaningful tests. Don't add tests that don't check anything substantial and is there just to make the code coverage pass. Yes, code coverage is important, but I'd rather have no signal whether the code is working than tests that don't fail when code is broken. The goal is to have tests that would fail before the feature was added/if the code was mutated in a way that breaks the feature and succeed only when the feature is fully working. I should run mutation testing and see > 90% kill rate
-
-Same thing for bug fixes. The tests should make it so that this specific bug can never happen again without failing tests (i.e., regression)
-
-Never test structure of code only function of it
-
-A test must only fail when litellm code changes. Never pin facts we don't own (a vendor's price, a third party's field, an upstream default, today's date) as literals or as "X must be absent"; assert the invariant our code guarantees instead, e.g. two rows agree, a value is within range, a field is derived from another. If an outside fact is truly load-bearing, cite its source and date next to the assertion so a reader can tell stale from broken
-
-`tests/test_litellm/` mirrors `litellm/` in a parallel path (see `tests/test_litellm/readme.md`). Name tests `test_<filename>.py`, but always match the existing test file in the directory you touch — many provider dirs use longer descriptive names (e.g. `test_anthropic_chat_transformation.py`) to avoid ambiguity across sibling folders. For bug fixes, extend the existing mapped test file rather than creating a new one. Only create a new test file for a new feature (provider, endpoint, or transformation module) that has no mapped test yet, following that directory's naming convention (or `test_<filename>.py` if you're the first test there). One focused regression test beats many shallow ones
-
-End-to-end tests belong in `tests/e2e/` and must follow the harness conventions documented in that directory's `CLAUDE.md`
-
-When creating PRs, target the repository's current default branch for both internal and external / OSS contributions. Check it with `python3 scripts/default_branch.py --branch` instead of assuming a branch name or relying on cached `origin/HEAD`
-
-When writing a PR body, treat the comments and imperative instructions inside .github/pull_request_template.md as rules to follow, not just layout. Agent harnesses may strip HTML comments from copies of that file injected into context, so read .github/pull_request_template.md from disk before writing a PR body to make sure you see every comment rule
-
-Same applies for filing bug reports and feature requests, with .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml, respectively
-
-If you're resolving a linear ticket, in the "## Linear ticket" section of the PR, say "Resolves LIT-1234", replacing "LIT-1234" with the actual ticket id that you're resolving. If you don't have the ticket id, don't make one up or search for it. Just leave the section blank
-
-Never use `pytest` commands or the like as "Screenshots / Proof of Fix". We prefer curl'ing a live proxy instance running on localhost:4000 (I like to run it with `python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py --config litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml --detailed_debug --reload --use_v2_migration_resolver 2>&1 | tee litellm.log`; the Admin UI dev server is `npm run dev` in `ui/litellm-dashboard`, served on port 3000) and showing both the command run and the output. Also, it should hit real LLM provider APIs, not mocks, and cost real $$$ because that is the most realistic test. The proof of fix should be exactly what the end user / customer would see / do. The run logs in PR #27703 is a prime example of how to do it (not a huge fan of using a python test script that future me and the team will have no visibility into; I prefer just curl commands or a short list of bash commands (e.g., using `for`)). If it's a UI thing, or the main use case runs through a headful agentic coding tool like Claude Code or Codex, drive that surface yourself and embed your own before and after screenshots of it in the PR (the Admin UI page, or what the coding tool shows), next to an ordered list of the URLs to go to (e.g., http://localhost:4000/ui/?page=logs), where to click, and what fields to fill out so a reviewer can reproduce it
-
-If you ever write any human-facing text (pull requests, issues, commit messages, discussion posts, github comments, release notes, docs, etc.), always follow these guidelines to sound less AI-y:
-- don't use emojis
-- don't use "—". Instead, reach for ",", ".", conjunction words, ":", ";", etc. in descending order of preference: vary among them, weighted toward the front of the list, and skip "," where it would cause a comma splice or the sentence is getting long. Overusing any one of them, ";" especially, also feels AI-y. A word cap does not penalize you for adding more sentences: when writing under tight word budgets, prefer a period split or a conjunction over ";", and keep to at most one ";" per message
-- don't use the pattern "It's not X, it's Y", "You're not X, you're Y", etc.
-- unless explicitly asked, don't use bulleted or numbered lists unless it would be nonsensical not to. Instead, prefer prose
-- don't add a trailing "." at the end of paragraphs (just like this file). That means every paragraph, not just the last one (of the markdown file, PR description, GitHub comment, etc.). Rule of thumb: if you're adding new line(s) before the next sentence, don't add a "."
-- don't use →. Instead, prefer not to use arrows, and if need be, use -> instead
-- use plain, simple, everyday engineering language: the common phrase engineers actually say over rare compact phrasing, in grammatically complete sentences. When explicitly asked to use bullets or ordered lists and structure legitimately helps the reader, prefer nested bullets (any depth is fine) over dense lines in a flat structure
-
-Don't hesitate to use values in .env to get needed API keys and other secrets, as long as you never add them to conversation history, commit them, or include them in GitHub issues / PRs
-
-Python max line length is 120, not 88
-
-Never edit or commit `ruff-strict-budget.json`, `type-discipline-budget.json`, `basedpyright-code-budget.json`, or `test-quality-budget.json` on a PR branch, and don't run `make lint-budget-update` there. A scheduled Devin automation lowers the limits on the default branch in its own PR by exactly what landed since the last ratchet, so concurrent PRs don't fight over the same `"limit"` lines. Keep the hosted automation's target in sync when the repository default changes. If your branch already carries a budget edit, drop it before opening the PR
-
-`make check` (f.k.a. `make pre-commit`, which still works identically as an alias) saves its complete output to a log file in .git (overwriting previous logs) and prints that path as its first and last output lines. To inspect a run, read or grep that log instead of re-running the multi-minute checks just to see a different slice
-
-`make check`, `make lint`, `scripts/pre_commit_lint.sh`, and the standalone budget gates (`scripts/ruff_strict_gate.py`, `scripts/type_discipline_gate.py`, `scripts/type_check_gate.py`) each hold one of 2 machine-wide slots, so when other sessions or worktrees on the same box are already running heavy work, yours prints "all N machine-wide slots are busy; queueing" and then stays quiet until a slot frees. Give the command a long timeout and let it wait rather than killing it, retrying it, or assuming it hung. Don't change the # of machine-wide slots or make it unlimited by setting `LITELLM_GATE_SLOTS=0`
-
-If you're trying to create a new function that relies on untyped stuff, instead of adding more Any's and pushing `reportAny` / `reportExplicitAny` closer to their basedpyright ceilings, just validate it in the caller with Pydantic (a model or `TypeAdapter` that returns the typed thing or raises will do) and then pass the now typed variable in
-
-If you get an LIT001 or LIT002 fail, refactor the code to follow functional programming best practices rather than introducing mutable data structures. For example, build values in one shot with comprehensions or generators wrapped in `tuple()` / `MappingProxyType()` / `frozenset()` instead of seeding an empty `list`/`dict`/`set` and mutating it over time. Ideally, `# mutable-ok` is never used; reach for it only as a genuine last resort when an immutable rewrite is truly impossible, and always pair it with a real reason
-
-Every lint or type suppression must name the exact rule inside brackets and carry a reason comment, e.g. `# pyright: ignore[reportArgumentType]  # stubs lack async overload` or `# noqa: TID251  # <reason>`. `# type: ignore` is banned (LIT009): pyrightconfig.json sets `enableTypeIgnoreComments` to false, so it silently does nothing
-
-Commit and push your work when you're done without asking
-
-When referencing or running models (coding, QA'ing, writing docs, writing tests, etc.), use the latest model in that model family unless otherwise specified; treat your training knowledge, memories, configs, and tests as stale, and determine the family's latest with model_prices_and_context_window.json or the web
-
-Always pull before starting any work. The checkout or worktree may be sitting on a stale branch
-
-If you're an internal contributor, when creating a new PR, the typical flow is to branch off the repository's current default branch and create a branch prefixed with litellm_. Do not create a branch prefixed with claude/ and generally do not have / in your branch names
-
-Do not add `Co-Authored-By: Claude` or any Claude attribution to commit messages. Never use a `claude/` prefix or put a `/` in a branch name. Do not add "Generated with Claude Code" (or any similar attribution) to PR descriptions or comments. Do not create a new PR/branch off the existing PR to fix/add something that is related and could've just been committed directly to the existing PR's branch
-
-When working on a PR, keep the PR description in sync with new commits being made
-
-All GitHub comments must be human-readable and 15-25 words max
-
-Monkeypatching attributes of a class to do testing is an anti-pattern. Prefer dependency-injecting things into classes. That way, at unit test time, you can pass a mocked dependency in
-
-Do not put names of customers or customer company names in code, PR descriptions, issue bodies, etc. This means never mention literally any company name. Especially if you're about to say a sentence mentioning that the reason the PR exists was a feature/model/bug fix/etc. requested by a company. That's the indication that you should replace that company name with "the customer". e.g. not "Model request from Acme (Pylon #1234)" but "Model request from a customer (Pylon #1234)". This is because the codebase is public. The only exception is for publicly known providers or vendors such as OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, etc. only IF we're adding support for that provider/vendor in general and NOT if that PR or whatnot was a request by one of them, and they're actually one of our customers. 
-
-CI supply-chain safety: Never pipe a remote script into a shell (`curl ... | bash`, `wget ... | sh`); download the artifact to a file, verify its SHA-256 checksum, then install. Pin every external tool to a specific version with a full URL (not `latest` or `stable`). Verify checksums for all downloaded binaries, using the provider's official `.sha256` / `.sha256sum` sidecar when available. These rules apply to every download in CI
-
-Prisma migrations apply synchronously at proxy boot, before it serves traffic, so a migration must only change schema, never rewrite rows. No `UPDATE`, `DELETE` or `MERGE`, and no `INSERT ... SELECT`: on a spend-log-sized table any of those is minutes of downtime plus a doubled heap that plain autovacuum won't give back. `tests/code_coverage_tests/check_migrations_no_data_rewrites.py` enforces this. When a rewrite is genuinely bounded and has to ship inside the migration, mark the statement `-- data-migration-ok: <what bounds it>`
-
-Follow these coding conventions for new/updated code (a three-line fix in a legacy file shouldn't trigger huge drive-by refactors):
-
-- Composition over inheritance
-- Never-nester: early returns over deep nesting
-- Don't throw; model failures as values (One function (e.g., raise_public) maps error union to existing public exception contracts via exhaustive match + assert_never)
-- No mutation; don't reassign variables, global or local. Instead of mutable lists and dicts, prefer tuples, frozen dataclasses (with slots=True), `MappingProxyType`, etc.
-  - Annotate every variable with `: Final` (LIT010). Unpacking and walrus targets cannot carry the annotation, so they are implicitly final. Don't rebind them. Never rebind or mutate function parameters (LIT011); `self`/`cls` attribute stores are the exception. If rebinding or in-place mutation is truly unavoidable, suppress with `# rebind-ok: <reason>`
-  - Qualify every TypedDict field with `ReadOnly[...]` (LIT012), which nests freely with `Required` / `NotRequired` / `Annotated` in any order. If making the key writable is truly unavoidable, suppress with `# writable-ok: <reason>`
-- Use dependency injection
-- Fully typed; no `Any` or coarse types like `dict[str, Any]` or just `dict`. Every function parameter must be strongly typed
-- Use tagged unions + match
-- No monster files or god objects
-- No file sprawl: deliberate file and folder structure
-- Standard over hand-rolled: use the official SDK or a library where one exists; where none does, follow industry standards instead of inventing local conventions
-- API-fragmentation-aware: when logic must branch on which API surface produced or consumes data (e.g. chat completions vs Anthropic Messages vs Responses API shapes), proactively look for an existing shared helper (e.g. `litellm_core_utils/prompt_templates/factory.py`) before writing per-surface parsing in the new module; if none exists, add one there instead of duplicating the same format-detection logic in every new guardrail/integration

 Another sharp edge, same root: record and replay derive every per-test token deterministically (the model name included, so a replay regenerates the exact requests the record run sent), which means an edge-wired deployment left in the database by an interrupted earlier run carries the same model name as the fresh one the current run registers. The proxy then holds two deployments under one model group and load-balances across both, and because the leftover's `api_base` points at the earlier run's edge process, which is gone, the calls that land on it fail with a connection error that reads like a transport bug rather than the stale row it is. Give each record or replay run a fresh database, or let a run finish so its own teardown deletes what it registered, and never reuse one long-lived proxy across back-to-back record/replay sessions. CI hands every job its own empty database and its own proxy, so it never sees this
 
-Replay answers any provider call that drifted from the recording with an HTTP 599 whose body names the computed and closest recorded keys, so the test fails loudly instead of silently going live, and a bundle older than seven days fails at collection time naming its age; either way the fix is to re-record. Only tests that register edge-wired deployments participate: everything else hits its provider live in every mode, so record exactly the suite you replay. If the proxy runs in a container, set `E2E_PROVIDER_EDGE_ADVERTISE_HOST` (e.g. `host.docker.internal`) so the api_base the proxy stores can reach the edge on the pytest host, and `E2E_PROVIDER_EDGE_BIND_HOST=0.0.0.0` so the edge accepts it.

Subject: [PATCH 101/119] feat(rust): serve every gateway HTTP setting natively
 instead of declining to Python

litellm-http now builds the rustls config itself, so one route-neutral place covers roots, the client certificate, ALPN, ssl_ecdh_curve and ssl_security_level. A curve picks the single key exchange group. A cipher string restricts the TLS 1.2 suites it names, and entries rustls cannot express, such as @SECLEVEL=1, are logged once and skipped.

user_url_validation and user_url_allowed_hosts are applied by the media fetcher. Document downloads honor the environment proxy whenever provider calls do, keeping the per-hop address check, and stay on the pinned resolver when no proxy applies.

AIOHTTP_SO_KEEPALIVE, AIOHTTP_TCP_KEEPIDLE, AIOHTTP_TCP_KEEPINTVL, AIOHTTP_TCP_KEEPCNT and AIOHTTP_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT map onto the client. A client= argument and a live SSLContext are ignored

Subject: [PATCH 102/119] refactor(rust): parse TLS settings through FromStr,
 From and TryFrom

KeyExchangeGroup and Tls12CipherSuite parse with FromStr and fail with Unsupported, so a setting rustls cannot honor is a typed error instead of a missing value. The cipher string conversions cannot fail and use From. The rustls ClientConfig is built with TryFrom<&HttpClientConfig>, and the built-in root store is constructed in one expression

Subject: [PATCH 103/119] refactor(rust): resolve the http client config
 through From and TryFrom

HttpClientConfig::resolve becomes From<&HttpSettings> for Resolution and client_builder becomes TryFrom<&HttpClientConfig> for reqwest::ClientBuilder, matching the rustls conversion. The verify decision moves into From<&HttpSettings> for Verify, and the proxy environment rule moves next to its flags as HttpSettings::trusts_proxy_env. The curve and cipher results are read with transpose and a default selection, which removes the tuple destructuring

Subject: [PATCH 104/119] refactor(rust): merge http settings from per-source
 layers

Each source (per-call kwargs, environment variables, the Python module) now
builds an HttpSettingsLayer, and HttpSettings::from_layers merges them with
explicit precedence. The aiohttp and httpx proxy-env rule is resolved once in
the merge, so HttpSettings carries a single trust_proxy_env flag

Subject: [PATCH 109/119] fix(proxy): parse role_permissions where it is read

load_config used to return a local general_settings dict that it had
normalized in place, turning the configured role_permissions entries into
RoleBasedPermissions objects. It now returns the SettingsStore, which never
saw that write, so JWT auth received raw dicts and every request failed with
"'dict' object has no attribute 'role'" whenever role_permissions was set.

Convert the entries in the consumer instead, with a TypeAdapter, so the value
is parsed wherever it comes from. load_config keeps validating at boot, so a
malformed entry still fails startup rather than the first request.

Subject: [PATCH 111/119] fix(exceptions): keep internal_server_error as the
 public type of an upstream 500

PR #40243 started carrying the upstream error body on InternalServerError so the Responses response.failed event can report the provider's code and message, and openai's APIError.__init__ took the body's type along with it. The proxy then answered an OpenAI-compatible upstream 500 with type server_error while a 502 and a 503 kept internal_server_error, and the integration contract in test_observed_routing.py went red. Pin the type the way RateLimitError pins throttling_error, keeping the body.

Subject: [PATCH 113/119] fix(policy_engine): deliver guardrail text rewrites
 on multi-choice, unfinished, and envelope-less streams

Post-call pipeline rewrites on buffered streams failed open on three shapes:
chat streams with n > 1 (the rebuilt response collapsed every choice into
index 0), streams that ended without a finish marker, and Responses streams
whose final event carried no response envelope.

The chat handler now rebuilds the ended stream one choice index at a time and
writes each choice's rewrite back to that choice's buffered deltas. The
Anthropic handler writes an unended stream's rewrite across its text deltas.
The Responses handler spreads an envelope-less rewrite over the buffered
output_text events, still failing open when a scanned event cannot be placed.

Tool-call rewrites on n > 1 chat streams keep failing open.
