Subject: [PATCH 01/26] feat(chat): resume replies after browser disconnects
 (#49461)

* feat(chat): resume background MCP runs after browser disconnects

* feat(chat): background ordinary text conversations

* feat(chat): configure background replies from Settings

* fix(chat): address background response review findings

* test(sdk): finish the HTTP smoke stream explicitly

* fix(chat): preserve background response timing metrics

* test(router): terminate the scripted completion stream

Subject: [PATCH 03/26] refactor(ui): remove dead API calls from networking.tsx
 (#49507)

Deletes 17 exported calls that nothing references anymore. The Old Usage page removal left 10 behind, the move of agent traces to the Lens service left 5, and modelInfoV1Call and getUISettings lost their last callers in earlier refactors

Seven names that are only used inside the file stop being exported. buildModelGroupTestRequest stays exported because networking.test.ts calls it directly

Also drops the two test mocks that still stubbed deleted calls and prunes the lower eslint suppression counts for the file

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

* fix(proxy): document A2A stream route schemas

* fix(proxy): use immutable A2A schema mappings

* fix(proxy): map v1 a2a stream route to call types and keep stream alias unbilled

* test(a2a): use real guardrail registry and typed locals in stream route tests

Subject: [PATCH 22/26] feat(ovalix)!: scan files, tool calls and tool results
 (#49309)

* feat(ovalix): file and tool scanning, app discovery from the key alias

Mirror of BerriAI/litellm#34132 at 5ffc268585d, rebuilt on main.

* fix(ovalix): keep inspecting requests whose key has no user

The tracker allows a checkpoint call with an empty actor without inspecting
it, so a key with no user (or a /v1/messages or /v1/responses request that
carries its own metadata object) got no Ovalix enforcement. Fall back to
"unknown" as the guardrail did before, so every request is inspected.

* refactor(ovalix): check texts without mutation and test discovery through tracker requests

- _check_texts builds its result from per-text verdicts checked newest first by _check_text
- discovery and routing cache unit tests answer the tracker routes instead of replacing private methods
- integration test adds streaming cells and a tracker outage during a concurrent burst

* fix(ovalix): resolve tool result names in one pass

Each tool result rescanned every earlier message for its call id, so a request with thousands of
tool results spent seconds in the event loop. Declarations are now indexed once per request and
each result takes the nearest earlier one by bisection

* test(ovalix): annotate new test bindings and build the burst plan with product

* fix(ovalix): drop app discovery from the key alias

A config with no application_id no longer boots in discovery mode, where
the [Name] prefix of the key alias picked the Ovalix application and so its
policy. Anyone who could rename a key could move it to a weaker app, or to
an unknown name the tracker created with its default policy. The guardrail
now needs application_id at startup again, as on main, and every checkpoint
call goes by the configured application and checkpoint ids.

Removes enable_routing_cache and fail_if_no_application, the
app_name_regex and resolve_application tracker calls, and the per-alias
routing cache. Restores main's startup check that a requested pre_call or
post_call hook has its checkpoint id.

Subject: [PATCH 23/26] chore(e2e): remove the unused arize_phoenix callback
 from the stage mirror config (#49538)

Phoenix is unused by the e2e suite and has no account behind it. Drops the callback from the stage mirror gateway config, and updates the OTEL trace test's failure message and the e2e contributing notes that still pointed at the arize_phoenix preset.

Subject: [PATCH 26/26] fix(proxy)!: support reload with multiple workers
 (#45909)

* fix(proxy): support reload with multiple workers

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

* fix(proxy): stop the reload worker pool on a broken edit instead of respawning it

Workers now load the app through a factory that exits with uvicorn's
STARTUP_FAILURE code on any import error, so the pool stops and the
reloader waits for the next save, the same as single-worker reload.
Multi-worker reload needs uvicorn>=0.50.0 for that, so older versions
keep the single-worker reload with a warning.

* test(integration): stop the reload test's proxy through the harness shutdown helper

Main's TQ010 rule rejects a raw .terminate() under tests/integration, so the multi-worker reload test now calls OwnedProxy.begin_shutdown(), which sends the same SIGTERM

* test(proxy): cover the reload worker pool end to end and edit the config the proxy loads

* docs(agents): scope the two-worker reload QA rule to uvicorn proxies that use Redis

* fix(proxy): keep the original traceback when a reloaded worker fails to import the app

* docs(agents): point both router and coordination Redis at the QA Redis and cover single-worker trees

* fix(proxy): stop the reload worker pool when the reloader exits and give reloads a longer worker healthcheck

Closing the terminal or pressing Ctrl-\ killed the reloader and left the pool parent holding the port while it respawned workers that could not start. The pool now stops once its parent reloader is gone. The reload pool also defaults the worker healthcheck to 30 seconds unless --timeout_worker_healthcheck is set, since uvicorn's 5 second default killed workers that were still booting on a reload.

* fix(proxy): watch the reloader through its process sentinel so the pool also stops on Windows

* fix(proxy): carry the graceful shutdown timeout into the reload worker pool

* fix(proxy): stop the reload worker pool on Ctrl-\ instead of waiting out a dying worker's healthcheck

* test(proxy): skip the startup-failure reload tests on uvicorn without a startup failure code

* docs(agents): keep the QA proxy rule to two workers, Redis, and reload

* fix(proxy): keep Windows on single-worker reload and pass unlisted uvicorn args to the reload pool

* fix(proxy): stop reload workers when their pool parent dies

* test(proxy): move the reload pool process tests to the integration suite

The unit test guide keeps tests/unit in-process, so the subprocess pool cases now live in tests/integration/configuration and use the harness port allocator and process helpers

* docs(agents): keep main's proof rules and inline the multi-worker QA command

* fix(proxy): exit reload workers as startup failures when the app factory raises

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

* test(proxy): check the reload pool serves the overridden worker app

 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 drop the section
 
+Run QA proxies with `python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py --config litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml --num_workers 2 --detailed_debug --reload --use_v2_migration_resolver 2>&1 | tee litellm.log`, and swap its `--config` for a copy of `litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml` that points both `router_settings` (`redis_host`, `redis_port`) and `general_settings.coordination_redis` (`host`, `port`) at one dedicated Redis instance, with credentials when required, so the workers share router state and spend, budget, and rate-limit counters. Check that two worker PIDs are serving, and use the same worker count and Redis setup for the before and after proof. When the PR is about `--run_gunicorn`, `--run_hypercorn`, or `--run_granian`, which `--reload` does not support, drop `--reload`. When it is about behavior without Redis, drop Redis. When the proxy prints `"workers" flag is ignored when reloading is enabled`, that checkout or its uvicorn reloads only one worker, so drop the two-worker check for it. Say in the proof which part you dropped and why
+
 Simple PRs may skip before/after e2e when the full diff is mechanical and focused checks completely prove it, such as #49030 restoring an existing helper name. Trace affected callers and run relevant tests/static checks at the tip. For a bug fix, establish that the regression catches the original defect. Size alone never qualifies. New behavior, API/provider semantics, auth, billing, persistence, concurrency or uncertain integration risk need live e2e. In Screenshots / Proof of Fix, record `E2E exception at <tip SHA>`, scope, rationale, commands and results. Tests count as proof only for this exception. Reassess changed diffs, retain CI/bot gates, and honor explicit e2e requests (2026-10-28, unnecessary live QA for #49030)
 
 For other PRs, proof must show the end user's real flow before and after, with commands and output against a live proxy and real provider calls where applicable. Pytest alone is insufficient. For UI or interactive coding-tool flows, drive that surface and embed before/after screenshots, with URLs, clicks and input fields a reviewer can reproduce
