Subject: [PATCH 01/25] feat(proxy): let proxy admins open team member defaults
 to team admins (#46353)

* feat(proxy): let proxy admins open team member defaults to team admins

* fix(proxy): keep a team admin's never-resets duration on a team's first member budget

* test(proxy): pin the existing-row and stored never-resets cases for member defaults

Subject: [PATCH 02/25] fix(anthropic): forward service_tier on /v1/messages
 for anthropic, azure_ai and bedrock_mantle (#46370)

* test(integration): add known-bug translation cases for request fields LiteLLM drops

service_tier on /v1/messages, conversation on /v1/responses and metadata on
/v1/chat/completions never reach the provider. Each gets a TranslationTestCase
with the correct provider body, marked xfail(strict=True) through the new
TranslationTestCase.known_bug field, plus a passing service_tier case for
/v1/messages on the openai route

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(integration): widen the known-bug cases to azure_ai, bedrock_mantle, openai/responses and azure deployments

Subject: [PATCH 03/25] fix(router): read the first stream chunk before
 returning so a failure before any token runs through the retry and fallback
 budget (#46493)

* fix(router): read the first stream chunk before returning so a failure before any token runs through the retry and fallback budget

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(router): keep only the raising call inside pytest.raises for the pre-content stream tests

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(router): yield the primed first chunk from a helper generator so the stream iterators keep their complexity

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(bedrock): expect the empty invoke stream to be reported from router.completion now that the first chunk is read there

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test: give router stream mocks a first chunk or an ending so the eager first read neither hangs nor retries

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(router): name the first-chunk helpers after what they do (_read_first_chunk, _FirstChunk, _chunks_with_first)

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(router): drop the string annotation on _FirstChunk.chunk, ModelResponseStream is imported at runtime

Subject: [PATCH 04/25] fix(caching): report Redis circuit-breaker metrics
 through the Prometheus services logger (#46484)

* fix(caching): collect the Redis circuit-breaker state gauge as one series per state across worker processes

The gauge declares multiprocess_mode=livesum, so PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROC_DIR apps get one series per state summed over
the live workers instead of one series per worker pid

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(caching): register Redis circuit-breaker metrics only when LiteLLM prometheus logging is on

The breaker collectors join the default registry once the prometheus or prometheus_system callback is configured or
a Prometheus logger starts, with earlier breaker events tallied and seeded in, and
litellm.disable_redis_circuit_breaker_metrics turns them off for apps that export their own metrics

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(caching): drop the disable_redis_circuit_breaker_metrics opt-out

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(caching): keep the Redis breaker metrics gate to a per-state count and a publish hook

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(caching): pin the Redis breaker metrics gate against an injected registry

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(caching): publish the breaker collectors before reading them in the existing metrics test

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(caching): report Redis circuit-breaker metrics through the Prometheus services logger

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(integrations): build the Redis breaker collectors with typed prometheus_client constructors

Subject: [PATCH 05/25] fix(anthropic): keep refusal stop_reason and
 stop_details on the logged response (#46104)

* fix(anthropic): keep refusal stop_reason and stop_details on the logged response

* fix(anthropic): keep the refusal stop-fields boundary tolerant of a non-dict upstream body

* test(anthropic): use Anthropic's documented refusal example as the unit-test fixture

* fix(streaming): keep provider fields on async stream cache hits and received_model_id on synthesized finish chunks

* fix(caching): replay cached completion_tokens_details on stream cache hits and skip non-object cached provider fields

* test(integration): cover Anthropic-family refusal stop_details on the wire, the cache and under chaos

* fix(caching): skip a cached completion_tokens_details that fails validation on stream replay

* fix(anthropic): keep refusal stop fields on a JSON-mode non-stream response

Also adds the round 3 audit cells for JSON-mode refusals, the proxy response serialization, and wrong-typed cached usage details on both stream replays

* test(anthropic): expect content_filter on streamed JSON tool refusals after main's stream change

Subject: [PATCH 06/25] fix(router): add fallback_on_unsupported_params so
 param rejections can raise instead of falling back (#46350)

* fix(router): add fallback_on_unsupported_params so client-side param rejections can raise instead of falling back

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* style(router): wrap the fallback gate so ruff format passes

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): rename the flag to fallback_on_bad_request and cover provider 400s too

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(router): narrow the wire test responses so the type gate count does not grow

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(openai): swap the model map with setattr so the type gate count does not grow

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): import the exception classes directly so the type gate count does not grow

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(router): type the fallbacks list in fallback_event_handlers to pay for the new Router kwarg in the type gate

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(router): keep the LIT001 count flat on the typed fallbacks parameters

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(router): type the fallback stream wrapper weakref so the type gate stays level

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): make fallback_on_bad_request updatable at runtime so DB-stored router_settings apply it

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* chore(ui): regenerate schema.d.ts for UpdateRouterConfig.fallback_on_bad_request

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): rename the flag back to fallback_on_unsupported_params

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* revert(openai): drop the reasoning_effort=none client-side check, the Router flag covers the provider 400

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* ci: rerun docs checks now that the router_settings row is on litellm-docs main

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): only stop fallbacks on real 400s and cover the context window and content policy exclusions

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): move the no-fallback 400 check into is_bad_request_without_fallback and pin the 402 and Vertex 403 cases

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): keep falling back on router-raised 400s when fallback_on_unsupported_params is off

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(router): read llm_provider off the exception with getattr so the type gate stays flat

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

 Bundled mode generates separate service and identity-signing credentials. External mode requires `lensWorker.gateway.secretName` and `lensWorker.serviceTokenSecret.name`; their keys default to `gateway-secret` and `service-token`. Provision distinct values matching the external Lens deployment
 
 Follow the [Lens Helm connection guide](https://github.com/BerriAI/lens/blob/main/helm/lens/README.md#connect-a-gateway) for the complete values and verification flow. It also links the GitOps credential requirements and existing-data migration. Source-chart installation requires a built Lens image until the first signed Lens release is published

+For an ingress with separate component hostnames, set all three `ingress.componentHosts` values, leave `ingress.host` and `ingress.extraPaths` empty, configure `ui.backendUrl` as the backend's public origin and `backend.gatewayUrl` as the gateway's public origin, and set `ui.publicUrl` to the browser-facing UI origin. The UI Deployment receives `LITELLM_BACKEND_URL` from `ui.backendUrl` only when `ingress.componentHosts` is configured.

Subject: [PATCH 12/25] fix(redis): default every Redis client to a 5s socket
 timeout when none is set (#46501)

* fix(redis): raise the Sentinel socket timeout default from 0.1s to 5s

Sentinel clients built without an explicit socket_timeout fell back to REDIS_SOCKET_TIMEOUT, which defaulted to 100 ms. That is short enough for a cross-AZ hop, TLS, or a brief Redis pause to raise a timeout. 5s matches the RedisCache default and redis-py 8.x.

* test(redis): drop the Sentinel default socket timeout test

* fix(redis): default every Redis client to a 5s socket timeout when none is set

Plain host, url and cluster clients built without socket_timeout (including cache_params socket_timeout: null) fell through to redis-py's None and blocked forever on a hung Redis. The REDIS_SOCKET_TIMEOUT fallback now lives in _get_redis_client_logic, which every sync, async, pool, cluster and Sentinel path goes through, replacing the Sentinel-only setdefaults

Subject: [PATCH 14/25] fix(proxy): finish prisma engine requests when their
 caller is cancelled (#46503)

Cancelling a task mid-request closed the query engine socket, the engine
handed the still-busy pool connection back, the next transaction start
queued its BEGIN behind the orphaned statement, and when that waiter was
cancelled too the engine panicked on its dropped reply channel
(interactive_transactions/actors.rs) and exited under the shutdown spend
flush, losing daily user and team spend for requests that had returned 200.

Every engine request now runs in its own task behind asyncio.shield so only
the caller is cancelled, and a transaction that opens after its caller left
is rolled back.

Subject: [PATCH 15/25] fix(proxy-extras): run prisma migrate deploy under the
 pinned coordinator lock instead of Prisma's session advisory lock (#46368)

Through a transaction-mode pooler Prisma takes pg_advisory_lock(72707369) on one
backend and releases it on another, so the first backend keeps the lock while idle
and the next boot waits on it. Migrations now run with
PRISMA_SCHEMA_DISABLE_ADVISORY_LOCK=1 while LiteLLM holds the coordinator lock and
Prisma's key as transaction-level locks on one pinned connection, so nothing can
outlive the migration

Resolves LIT-9571

Subject: [PATCH 16/25] test(integration): fix three more CircleCI integration
 reds from test setup (#46510)

OpenRouter basic translation expected the pre-#44788 response shape. Read
refusal, logprobs and system_fingerprint from the fixture at their new
positions.

The team model TPM test required exactly one of three concurrent requests
to be served. The pipelined limiter can reject all of them, which is an
accepted trade-off, so assert no over-admission and that a lone retry is
served when the burst got nothing.

The Voyage host tests count every host their proxy dials. The responses
cost poller could dial api.openai.com for background-response rows that
other tests left in the shared worker database, so turn polling off in
those proxies.

Subject: [PATCH 19/25] fix(responses): propagate cache_control through
 responses->chat completion bridge (#32511)

* fix(responses): propagate cache_control through responses->chat completion bridge

User/assistant messages, tool call outputs, and function calls built from
Responses API input items were dropping cache_control, breaking prompt
caching for Bedrock/Anthropic when routed through the litellm_completion
transform. Also propagate cache_control onto the last content element of
user/assistant messages, since Anthropic/Bedrock read it from the content
block rather than (or in addition to) the message level.

Adds the missing cache_control field to ChatCompletionToolMessage and
ChatCompletionResponseMessage TypedDicts to keep the assignments type-safe.

* chore(ui): regenerate schema.d.ts for ChatCompletionToolMessage.cache_control

Adding cache_control to the ChatCompletionToolMessage TypedDict changed
the proxy's OpenAPI spec; regenerated via `npm run gen:api`.

* fix(responses): don't overwrite existing content-block cache_control; add list-content test

Per Greptile review on the PR:
- The message-level cache_control was unconditionally overwriting the
  last content block's cache_control when that block already carried
  its own (preserved by _transform_responses_api_content_to_chat_completion_content).
  Now only propagates onto the last block when it doesn't already have one.
- Added the missing test coverage for the content-block propagation path
  with list content, which no existing test exercised (all used plain
  string content, so the isinstance(content, list) branch was never hit).

* style(responses): extract cache_control into a named variable, trim comment

Per style review: the message-building branch read cache_control 3
different ways in 5 lines (.get() twice, then [] indexing once), unlike
the sibling tool-call-output/function-call functions this PR touches,
which each extract it into a named variable up front
(output_cache_control, function_call_cache_control). Matched that
convention here too. Also trimmed the 3-line inline comment to one
line, matching the file's usual comment length for similarly subtle
behavior.

* chore: refresh lazy OpenAPI snapshot

* fix: type cache control propagation

* fix: place cache control type suppressions

* style: format cache control type conversion

* refactor(responses): build bridged cache_control messages in one shot

* fix(responses): keep cache_control marks on bridged tool calls and within the provider cap

A function_call item's mark now rides on the tool call the bridge builds, an assistant text
item merged behind a function_call keeps its own mark, a developer item keeps its mark when
it is mapped to a system message, and a previous_response_id replay yields its stale marks
to the newest ones so the provider cap holds. The Responses layer counts the marks on
function_call and function_call_output items before it places an ordinal injection point,
and the chat pass replaces that count with its own instead of adding to it.

* fix(responses): count each cache_control mark once and keep the bridge within the provider's limits

List content carries an item-level cache_control on its last block only, so the
provider sees one cache point and the breakpoint census counts one. Marked function
tools and SDK-typed input items are handled by the Responses-layer reserve, assistant
text merged into a function call turn keeps its mark on its own block, and the
previous_response_id replay budget drops marks per turn, newest kept, instead of
stripping every older turn once one overshoots.

The request's own marks now fall under the same budget, newest kept, so five marked
items no longer answer the provider's 400. A cache_control value that is not an
ephemeral mark with an optional ttl is left off the bridged message instead of
reaching the provider as sent, and a developer message maps to the system role with
its content, name, and cache_control only, so unknown keys never reach a strict
provider.

* fix(responses): send item cache_control only to cache-point targets and follow drop_params

Item marks reach the provider only when the target turns them into cache
points, and every other target keeps main's behavior of stripping them.
Without drop_params a mark the provider would refuse reaches it as sent,
so the client gets the same 400 as on /v1/chat/completions. With
drop_params a malformed mark is dropped and only the newest 4 are kept.

The shared input-to-messages helper and the developer mapping in
base_utils go back to main, and a marked developer item reaches a
cache-point target as a system message in the bridge.

* fix(responses): budget top-level marks, follow drop_params on Nova tool marks, and match chat-keeping providers

* fix(responses): validate replayed marks and count input tokens without item marks

* fix(responses): leave unknown Bedrock ARNs unmarked under drop_params, match OpenRouter's list, and reserve only forwarded marks

* test(responses): cover item cache_control parity per chat route, drop_params trimming, and replay budgets

* fix(responses): keep item marks off inspection paths and match each chat route's keep rule

Only the request the bridge sends gets item marks now. Guardrails, token
counting, rate limiting, and input_tokens read the input with no item marks,
as on main, so an off-spec mark cannot fail a guardrail call. Tool message
and tool call marks are typed inside the bridge, leaving the shared chat
types and guardrail schemas as on main.

Databricks keeps marks only for Claude, Snowflake uses its chat route's
Claude check, and every Anthropic deployment keeps them whatever its model
name. The injection census skips SDK-typed tools, and the owned-proxy test
expects the marked messages on /v1/responses.

* test(responses): cover guardrail reads without item marks, Snowflake name parity, and SDK-typed tools in the census

* fix(responses): leave a non-list input untouched when stripping item marks

* test(responses): cover string, list, object and tuple input with and without item marks kept

Each input shape now answers the same whether the unmapped Bedrock ARN keeps item marks or strips them under drop_params, through the proxy and the SDK. Object input also runs through the OpenAI-compatible chat bridge, /v1/responses/input_tokens and the project input-token limiter

* test(cache): derive owned-proxy cell timeouts from the harness boot budget

The capped-burst cells and the uncapped response-cache cells boot their own two-worker proxy, and a fixed 240 or 360 second timeout cut them during boot on a slow runner before the harness readiness budget could decide. They now carry the same derived budget as the sibling chaos and guardrail files, with four boot and stop budgets for the restart cell that boots twice

Subject: [PATCH 20/25] feat(guardrails): add Airia guardrail integration
 (#40784)

* feat(guardrails): add Airia guardrail integration

Adds `airia` as a built-in guardrail provider. The hook sends the prompt under `pre_call` and the
model's response under `post_call` to the Airia AI Gateway, which answers allow, block, or redacted
content; the only configuration is `api_base`, `api_key`, and an optional `timeout`.

`during_call` is not offered: it runs concurrently with the model call, so a block could land after
the prompt has already reached the provider.

A BLOCKED verdict, or any action this version does not recognise, raises with
`blocked_content=True`; a transport error, a non-2xx, or a response body that is not a JSON object
raises with `blocked_content=False`, so callers can tell "could not evaluate" from "evaluated and
blocked" while both still fail closed. On GUARDRAIL_INTERVENED a copy of the inputs is returned with
every rewritten field substituted; an intervention carrying no applicable rewrite, a rewrite of the
wrong shape, or a rewrite whose item count does not match what was sent (which would misalign the
positional write-back downstream) blocks instead of letting the original through.

Streamed responses are moderated whole and then emitted redacted: the hook opts into the unified
hook's `incremental_diff` mode (the default `block_only` drops rewrites) with
`streaming_end_of_stream_only`, so a redaction can never span transform rounds and underflow. Covered
by a test that drives the real streaming iterator hook end to end and checks the assembled client
output, not just the guardrail's own config attributes.

The HTTP client is dependency-injected (an `async_handler` constructor parameter, defaulting to a
real client) rather than mutated post-construction, so tests inject a fake client instead of
monkeypatching an instance method.

Known limitation, not fixable from this guardrail alone: LiteLLM's unified guardrail framework
yields a tool-call chunk to the client immediately during `incremental_diff` streaming, inspecting
the assembled tool calls against the guardrail's verdict only once the stream ends
(`_run_incremental_transform_stream` in `unified_guardrail.py`). A blocked tool call can therefore
reach an executing client before the terminal error arrives. Switching to `block_only` with
`streaming_buffer_until_moderated` does not close this without a regression: that flag has no effect
under `incremental_diff` (the mode branches away before it is read), and `block_only` itself replays
the original, unredacted chunks on release, silently dropping any REDACT verdict on streamed text.
Relatedly, LiteLLM's OpenAI chat completions guardrail translation skips `post_call` guardrails
entirely for a response with no text content, so a tool-call-only response bypasses this guardrail
(and every other post-call guardrail) even outside streaming. Both are shared-framework behavior,
not specific to Airia; fixing either is out of scope for an isolated single-guardrail contribution.

* fix(guardrails): fail closed on an Airia rewrite for a field that was not sent

Bugbot finding on #40784. An INTERVENED verdict carrying `structured_messages: []` with
`texts` omitted passed `_rewritten` unchanged: an empty list has the same length as an
omitted field, so it counted as an applied rewrite while the `texts` that actually carried
the content went through untouched. post_call sends only `texts`, so this was reachable.

A rewrite for a field the request did not send is now a mismatch, same as a wrong length,
and the verdict blocks. Regression test covers both the empty and the non-empty case.

* fix(guardrails): fail closed on streamed non-chat routes the Airia rewrite cannot reach

Veria finding on #40784. incremental_diff, the mode that carries a rewrite into the stream,
exists only for OpenAI chat completions; UnifiedLLMGuardrails sends every other streamed route
(/v1/responses, /v1/messages) to block_only, which streams the original text live and drops
rewrites. So with post_call on, a streamed Responses or Anthropic call could receive text that
Airia then blocked or redacted.

Two changes, both confined to this guardrail:

- streaming_buffer_until_moderated is set, so on the block_only fallback the framework holds
  every chunk until the end-of-stream verdict instead of releasing it live. The flag is never
  read on the incremental_diff path, so streamed chat completions are unchanged.
- A REDACT verdict on a streamed response whose route cannot carry a rewrite is enforced as a
  block, since block_only would otherwise replay the original. The route check mirrors
  _resolve_transform_call_type so the two cannot disagree; an unresolvable route fails closed.
  Request-side rewrites and non-streamed calls are untouched.

The end-to-end test drives the real UnifiedLLMGuardrails iterator over an Anthropic
/v1/messages SSE stream and asserts not one original chunk is released for either verdict.

* test(guardrails): keep the Airia stream test's pytest.raises block to one statement

CI's test-tree ruff run flags PT012 on the non-chat streaming test: the `async for` that
collected released chunks sat inside `pytest.raises`, so a raise from the loop body would be
indistinguishable from the one the test is about. The loop now lives in a `_drain_into` helper
and the `with` block awaits it alone. Same assertion, same partial-leak capture.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(guardrails): keep the Airia guardrail within the per-rule basedpyright ceilings

scripts/type_check_gate.py now gates every rule on its merge-base count (#40193), and the
guardrail added sixteen strict-rule errors it previously absorbed under the global budget.

- The parsed gateway response goes through `_as_object` once, so `action`, `blocked_reason`
  and the rewrite fields are read from `dict[str, object]` rather than `dict[Unknown, Unknown]`;
  `blocked_reason` is only used as the message when it is a non-empty string.
- `get_config_model` returns the concrete `type[AiriaGuardrailConfigModel]`, and the config model
  carries the same pyright ignore as its siblings for the unparameterised base.
- The remaining untyped upstream members (the decorator, the client factory, `super().__init__`'s
  kwargs, the handler's `post`) are ignored per line with the reason, as the Wingback guardrail
  does. The registry reads `guardrail["guardrail_name"]`, a required TypedDict key.
- Tests reach the injected mock and the handler timeout through typed helpers instead of the
  real handler's partially typed attributes.

No behaviour change: 46/46 tests, ruff default and strict, and both lint gates pass.

* fix(guardrails): clear the Airia guardrail's type-discipline gate violations

Drop the mutable-ok comments that suppress nothing (LIT013), give the two
deferred-import noqa lines a reason (LIT003), and annotate the parsed JSON
object as Mapping instead of dict (LIT001).

Subject: [PATCH 21/25] feat(terraform): add team_member_model_max_budget to
 litellm_team (#46274)

* feat(terraform): add team_member_model_max_budget to litellm_team

The proxy now accepts per-model budgets for team members, so a member can
be capped on one model and keep using the team's others. The provider had
no way to set or read it, so it could only be managed by hand.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(terraform): tighten team_member_model_max_budget per review

Reject tpm_limit/rpm_limit at plan time since the proxy rejects them on team
budgets, skip sending an empty map on create so no empty member budget row
is made, and document the router-alias matching and minimum proxy version.

 ### Added
 
+- **team**: Optional `team_member_model_max_budget` argument on `litellm_team`, a JSON string of per-model budgets applied to every team member and sent as `team_member_model_max_budget` on `/team/new` and `/team/update`; read back from `team_member_budget_table.model_max_budget` on `/team/info` so out-of-band changes show as drift, with `budget_limit`/`time_period` treated as equal to the `max_budget`/`budget_duration` spelling the proxy stores; removing it sends `{}`, which clears every per-model member budget; `tpm_limit`/`rpm_limit` are rejected at plan time because the proxy rejects them on team budgets. Needs a proxy that includes [#43887](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/43887): v1.105.0 and v1.106.0-rc.1 accept the field but silently drop it, so every plan shows a diff
 - **model**: Optional `display_name` argument on `litellm_model`, sent as `model_info.display_name` and returned as `display_name` by `/v1/models`, so client model pickers show a readable name; changes are persisted through `/model/{id}/update` since `/model/update` ignores `model_info`; also exported by the `litellm_model` and `litellm_models` data sources
 - **key**: Computed `server_metadata` attribute on `litellm_key` exposing every metadata entry the proxy stores, so metadata created outside Terraform is visible in state and drift on it shows on refresh, while `metadata` keeps tracking only the declared entries and updates keep preserving undeclared ones
 - **team_member_add**: `tpm_limit`, `rpm_limit`, `budget_duration`, and `allowed_models` attributes on `litellm_team_member_add`, applied to every member of the resource; `budget_duration` and `allowed_models` ride on `/team/member_add`, while the limits are sent through `/team/member_update`, which is where the proxy accepts them

@@ -150,6 +168,8 @@ The following arguments are supported:
 
 * `team_member_key_duration` - (Optional) Lifetime for keys created by team members (e.g. `1d`, `1w`).
 
+* `team_member_model_max_budget` - (Optional) JSON string of per-model budgets applied to each individual team member, e.g. `jsonencode({"claude-opus" = {budget_limit = 400, time_period = "1d"}})`. Each model maps to an object with `budget_limit` (or `max_budget`) and `time_period` (or `budget_duration`). The proxy rejects `tpm_limit` and `rpm_limit` on team budgets, so the provider rejects them at plan time. A member who reaches a model's cap is blocked on that model only and can keep calling the team's other models until `team_member_budget` runs out. The key is matched against the model name on the request, so for a router alias the cap applies to the alias, not the model the router picks. Remove the attribute to clear every per-model member budget. Requires a LiteLLM Enterprise license on the proxy, and a proxy that includes [#43887](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/43887). Older proxies, including v1.105.0 and v1.106.0-rc.1, accept the field but silently drop it, so every plan shows a diff.

 * `model_rpm_limit` - (Optional) Map of model name to requests per minute limit for that model.
 
 * `model_tpm_limit` - (Optional) Map of model name to tokens per minute limit for that model.

Subject: [PATCH 22/25] fix(responses): keep the provider code and message on
 top-level stream error events (#46438)

* fix(responses): keep the provider code and message on top-level stream error events

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(responses): log a mid-stream failure before the router falls back

CustomStreamWrapper now waits for failure logging before it raises the
error the router falls back on, so the cooldown lands on the deployment
that failed instead of the fallback that replaced it. Also keeps numeric
error codes and the top-level message on the WebSocket and ChatGPT paths.

* fix(streaming): run sync failure callbacks before a failed stream falls back to another deployment

The router cools a deployment down from a sync failure callback that reads the request's model_info. A failed stream submitted that callback to the logging executor without waiting, so it often ran after the router's fallback had overwritten model_info and cooled down the healthy fallback deployment instead, leaving the model group with no deployments

* test(responses): cover top-level OpenAI stream error events end to end

* test(streaming): read live worker pids so the second SIGKILL chaos variant sees two workers

* fix(streaming): run waited sync failure logging off the shared logging pool

* revert(streaming): keep failed-stream failure logging in the background

Waiting for sync failure callbacks before a failed stream raises fixed the router cooldown race, but it slowed healthy calls under many failing streams with a slow callback, since the wait shares a thread pool with every call's start. The race is pre-existing on main and is tracked separately, so this PR goes back to main's logging timing and keeps only the top-level error event changes
