Subject: [PATCH 02/10] fix(mcp): add litellm[mcp] extra and actionable error
 when streamable_http_client is missing

The MCP client's HTTP transport needs mcp>=1.24.0 for streamable_http_client,
but a base litellm install declares no mcp constraint and no extra existed to
pin one, so environments carrying an older mcp fail at connect time with
'streamable_http_client is not available. Please install mcp with HTTP
support.', which names no version floor and no installable remedy.

Add a litellm[mcp] extra matching the proxy extra's mcp>=1.28.1,<2.0 and
replace the vague ImportError with one naming the required floor, the
installed mcp version, and the pip commands that fix it.

Subject: [PATCH 04/10] fix(prompts): apply prompt templates before routing on
 /v1/responses and honor ignore_prompt_manager_model

On /v1/responses the prompt template ran inside litellm.aresponses, after the
router had already resolved a deployment and injected its api_key/api_base, so a
prompt whose metadata.model pointed at another provider sent the old
deployment's credentials cross-provider (401). The proxy now runs the prompt
template for aresponses in the pre-call hook, before routing, so the router
picks the deployment that matches the swapped model. As a backstop, the SDK
refuses a cross-provider swap when explicit credentials are already present
instead of forwarding them.

ignore_prompt_manager_model and ignore_prompt_manager_optional_params saved on
a prompt were only read by the generic manager, so dotprompt prompts ignored
them on every endpoint. PromptManagementBase now merges the prompt spec's flags
with the per-request ones for every manager, and the generic manager no longer
drops caller flags when no spec is present.

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] fix(cost): make cost-breakdown headers respect service
 tier

The breakdown priced reasoning tokens at the flat standard rate while the
total billed them tier-aware, so on flex requests the reasoning sub-cost
header could exceed the whole response cost. Route the breakdown's
reasoning rate through the same tier-aware resolver as the total.

On /v1/messages the response is a TypedDict that can never carry hidden
params, yet the client wrapper still recomputed cost on it, clobbering the
already-correct breakdown with a tier-less, reasoning-less one. Skip the
metadata pass for results that cannot hold hidden params, since apply()
discarded it anyway.

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] feat(guardrails): track Azure Prompt Shield usage and
 cost with spend isolation (#38387)

* Track Azure Prompt Shield guardrail usage and cost with spend isolation (LIT-5917)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Resolve credential references and pydantic extras in in-place guardrail updates

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Suppress LIT001 on the dict-accepting update helper signature

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] revert(proxy): remove router_model_name from
 auto-routed response bodies (#38429)

Reverts #37725. The field existed so SDK callers that cannot read
`x-litellm-model-id` could tell which tier an auto-router picked, and the
framework that motivated it was LangChain. `@langchain/openai` builds
`additional_kwargs` and `response_metadata` from fixed key allowlists and drops
unknown fields at both the chunk top level and inside `delta`, so no
proxy-side placement of a namespaced key can reach a LangChain caller.

The complexity router's existing `return_raw_model_name` already covers that
case: it puts the resolved model in the standard `model` field, which
LangChain does propagate (`model_name` is on its metadata allowlist), and the
proxy honors it on both the streaming and non-streaming paths.

Keeps the unrelated cleanup from #37725 that dropped the redundant
function-local `ProxyBaseLLMRequestProcessing` import shadowing the
module-level one in `async_data_generator`.

`TestModelGroupAliasReachesPreRoutingStrategies` asserted on the marker as a
proof of strategy dispatch; the surviving `response.model == "gemini-flash"`
assertion already proves it.
